Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Expedition
"Miss, don't you want me anymore?" Qian'er's body was slightly for a while, her eyes immediately turned red, and her tone was even a little panicked.
"Silly girl, why don't I want you? It's that the barracks are too cruel. Luo Ning turned to look at Qian'er, with a slight sigh in her tone.
"I'm not afraid!" Qian'er bit her red lip tightly. The indescribable firmness in his tone, the tears in his eyes disappeared, and the stubbornness made people feel distressed.
"It's okay, then you can stay with me first, if you really can't stand the scope of the battlefield, just tell me, Qian'er, sometimes it's not necessarily a bad thing to leave me, you also have your own way to go in the future, maybe you can go to the border town and help me, at least I won't have a problem eating." Luo Ning smiled.
"Miss, don't worry, I'll find a way to eat, but I will never leave Miss." Qian'er said firmly.
"Okay, don't leave!" Luo Ning smiled slightly, but she didn't think so, she didn't think that the cruelty on the battlefield could be borne by a weak woman, in order to exercise her courage, in her previous life, she had experienced the scene of the execution of a condemned prisoner, although she knew in her heart that even if the criminal died a thousand times, it would be difficult to punish him, but as soon as the gunshot rang out, Luo Ning's heart was still trembling, just because she felt the fragility of life.
And the battlefield is more cruel than the execution ground, human life is more fragile, and many times the person who was talking and laughing with you a second ago becomes a corpse in the blink of an eye, and some don't even have a corpse.
Although the horse leather shroud is strong, after all, there are corpses to wrap, and many people don't even have corpses left. This is the battlefield, and one will make a million bones dry.
Although Luo Ning has never fought, as a traverser, her endurance in her heart is far stronger than that of Qian'er, Qian'er may not regret seeing a person die, but what about ten, a hundred or thousands of people? Luo Ning didn't dare to talk about the cruelty of war like Qian'er, but she couldn't help but remind that simple girl.
But Luo Ning didn't dare to tell Qian'er directly about the cruelty on the battlefield, for fear of scaring Qian'er.
So Luo Ning secretly prayed in his heart to let the war come a little later, but the goddess of luck didn't seem to hear Luo Ning's prayer, and the drums of war suddenly resounded throughout the barracks.
Luo Ning stood up suddenly, and walked out as if reflexively.
"Childe, you haven't eaten yet." Qian'er hurriedly grabbed a handful of jerky and put it in Luo Ning's hand, Luo Ning stuffed it into her mouth and swallowed it in a big gulp, and the person had already left the tent, Qian'er hurriedly packed up her things and followed Luo Ning out of the tent.
"Enemy attack!" Luo Ning just walked out of the tent and saw Dongfang Ming and Fan Gao also rushing out with jerky, the two of them said in unison, turned around and quickly ran to the handsome camp.
"Report! Marshal Qiqi, the general of the Western Barbarians, Betola Aze, came to call for battle. The herald quickly reported the battle situation to His Royal Highness the Prince.
"Humph! Xiban had just been honest for two days, and he actually came to call for battle again. Prince Yunxi pursed his lips disdainfully.
"Pass the order, order three thousand, and this prince will personally go into battle to give that General Aze a good look." The prince said nonchalantly.
Although Tianyunguo and Xiban have launched several wars these days, they are basically small-scale, and it is very easy to win under the command of Dongfang Ming, a military master, so the prince gradually has a complacent.
"Prince, this General Aze is a very famous commander in the Western Barbarians, I'm afraid it's not okay to respond to the battle so rashly?" Dongfang Ming hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him.
"Mr. Dongfang, the West Barbarian is just a wild place, what famous people are there? I also hope that the general will not control the ambition of others to extinguish his own prestige, Luo Jianjun, you say yes? The prince raised his head arrogantly, and immediately set his eyes on Luo Ning, who came in with Dongfang Ming.
"The prince's words are still reasonable, despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically." Luo Ning said lightly.
The surrounding generals were a little stunned, although they knew that the prison army this time was the son of the prime minister, but they didn't expect the prison army in front of them to be so young, although they didn't despise the young people so much because of Dongfang Ming, but this prison army was even younger than Dongfang Ming, which had to make the veterans have a fire in their hearts.
"In that case, do you have any high opinion for the prison army?" The prince was ready to wait. seems to be waiting for Luo Ning's words.
As soon as Luo Ning spoke, he understood that he seemed to have fallen into a trap, looking at the prince's thoughtful expression and smile, Luo Ning knew that as long as he was a little careless, he was afraid that he would have to stay in the Xiban region forever.
"Gao Jian didn't dare to be, as the saying goes, there is no right to speak without investigation, Luo Yuan just arrived in Xiban and didn't know much about many things, so he didn't dare to show his eyes." Luo Ning's tone was also a little angry, could it be that the prince was really a mud pinch? Trouble again and again? Really when I don't dare to kill you? You must know that Yunguo doesn't have a sense of belonging to Luo Ning, and Luo Ning doesn't care who is the emperor, she just doesn't like to be controlled by others. But Luo Heng just committed her taboo. couldn't wait to use her as a bargaining chip, so Luo Ning's heart was very upset, but if the prince wanted to design her, she didn't care about killing the prince, and giving the prince a few thin noodles was completely Dongfang Ming's face. Therefore, the smell of gunpowder in Luo Ning's tone was very heavy.
"Hehe, that's no problem at all, today I will ask the prison army to personally lead the troops into battle to see the soldiers of the Western Barbarians, Luo Yuan listened to the order and ordered you to lead 3,000 troops to quickly win the enemy, this battle is very important, Xu Sheng is not allowed to lose, the soldiers will bring the 3,000 soldiers who are allocated to you to escort the grain and grass." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince simply ordered.
"Order!" Luo Ning stepped forward and bowed, but in his heart he hated the prince to the bones, even if Luo Ning was a good-tempered person, he couldn't stand being roasted on the fire three or four times. But the current situation is that even if someone else puts you on the fire and roasts you, you have to endure it, the military law is ruthless, at this time, if Luo Ning talks to the prince about any objective reasons or something, I am afraid that the prince will turn his face and be ruthless, even if he kills himself and returns to the court, the prime minister can't say anything, I'm afraid I have to say that the killing is good.
So Luo Ning didn't say a word, he stretched out his hand and took the token, and his eyes swept towards Dongfang Ming, Dongfang Ming's brows were only slightly frowned, and he continued to stand aside silently, Luo Ning sighed secretly in his heart, all his feelings turned into cold cold water at this moment, pouring cold water from head to feet, and his whole body was cold from the inside out. Even if you don't love me anymore, but I'm your junior sister after all, do you just watch me die? Luo Ning's heart kept shouting, but Dongfang Ming was still indifferent.
Luo Ning walked out slowly with heavy footsteps and coldness in her heart, her heart was cold every time she went out, and the idea of leaving was more firm, and when she walked to the door of the big tent, Luo Ning already had shallow tears in her eyes, but she knew that she couldn't turn back, what she had to do now was to be with her soldiers, clean up the Western barbarians, and hit the prince's arrogance hard, so that the prince knew that some people could not be offended, and they did not dare to offend.
Luo Ning lifted the curtain of the door and walked out firmly.
"Marshal, I'm going to fight for the prison army!" General Fan on the side walked out and said angrily. This General Fan is none other than Luo Ning's own uncle, but their relationship is now limited to Dongfang Ming, and the prince doesn't know what is going on, but the prince is not a fool, and he can guess from the fact that Luo Ning spared no effort to recommend Fan Gao to be a vanguard officer, and this General Fan must have something to do with Luo Ning.
"How can such a small thing be used by General Fan himself? General Lee, go ahead! "What the prince wanted most was Luo Ning's life, of course he wouldn't let Fan Gao return to save Luo Ning.
So the crown prince directly sent his confidant General Li Tong Li.
"Order!" Li Tong stepped forward and took the token.
"General Li is going this time to suppress the general's formation, and he must watch the overseer army win a complete victory, remember?" The prince said slowly word by word, for fear that Luo Ning's death would not be complete enough.
Dongfang Ming frowned slightly, but he didn't speak, but after Li Tong turned around and went out, Dongfang Ming also turned around and left the tent and nodded slightly at Fan Gao, because the movement was very slight, so no one could notice Dongfang Ming's movements except Fan Gao, who always paid attention to Dongfang Ming.
Fan Gao didn't say anything, he simply stood aside, the prince's heart was very happy, and he glanced at Dongfang Ming proudly, but found that Dongfang Ming's face was calm, and there seemed to be nothing unhappy at all. Just standing there silently, Dongfang Ming knew in his heart that the prince had repeatedly targeted Luo Ning and he was afraid that he had a big reason, but he really didn't like Princess Changning, but if he blindly stood up for Luo Ning now, it would not only affect the morale of the soldiers, but also affect the prestige of the prince, which Dongfang Ming did not want to see, because the prince would ascend the throne as emperor in the future.
Luo Ning walked quickly to the point platform, and the soldiers she brought out were standing below waiting for Luo Ning's lecture. Luo Ning stepped onto the stage, and at this time she didn't care about exposing the fact that she knew martial arts.
"The Western Barbarians are coming, the prince sent me to meet the battle, don't say the words of life and death, there is only one sentence in the next, even if I am Luo Yuan to accompany you in battle, brothers on Huangquan Road." Luo Ning jumped into a war horse at once, the light in his hand flashed, and the horse was reined in two sections, and the war horse rushed out with a roar.
