Chapter 48 9 What to fight with King Xuan?
Back at the barracks, the battle had long been over, the alliance army was defeated, and Xiao Yishan ordered people to smash the enemy camp and force it to retreat to a few miles north of the fortifications where grain and grass were stored.
The entire fortification was burned to stone and ashes, which were scattered all over the surrounding snow.
Yun Qing was also ruthless, using the scorching sun oil from Yuehua Kingdom in the fire. The entire fire was burning and difficult to extinguish, coupled with the sudden defeat at the front, which really caught Li Dingyi off guard, and when he saw the people of the Qingyuan Dynasty killed, he hurriedly led people to flee.
Ximen Che was rescued by Liu Cheng with the Imperial Forest Army, and those alliance troops couldn't take care of their prisoners when their lives were difficult to protect, and Li Ding and his people went to the fortifications to put out the fire first, and they were powerless to recapture Ximen Che. Liu Cheng rescued him with the Imperial Forest Army.
The facts are the best evidence, at this time, even Liu Cheng's attitude towards Lin Xin'er has changed, witnessing the rout of the alliance army, I believe that her stealth has begun to be laid out at the beginning. And the capture of the crown prince is also a trick to lure the enemy.
Xiao Yishan was full of praise for Lin Xin'er, saying that if there is a father, there must be a daughter, and he said that the people and horses he led will still help the Lin family if they do not violate the Qingyuan Dynasty.
Lin Xin'er understands that this precedent is for her special status in the Water Moon Palace. However, the fact that she is now with Simon Che means that this team is close to the prince.
It seems that what Lin Xin'er said at the beginning to help Ximen Che subdue the people of Northern Xinjiang has been done, although Xiao Yishan is for her sake, but it is already the best result for Ximen Che.
The general trend has been decided, Leng Yanqiu decided to return to the capital first, but was stopped by Huangfu Yanchong before leaving.
"Are you here to blame me?" Leng Yanqiu said.
Huangfu Yanchong was silent for a long time, and finally wanted to talk to him head-on.
"You promised me that you would take care of Xin'er, but what was the result? You left her alone under the eyes of the Voice Bringer, and where did you put her safe? Huangfu Yan, who realized it later, was really startled, but fortunately Xin'er was safe and sound.
At that time, it was said that he would use poison when necessary, but where was the opportunity to use poison? When he was guarding near the battlefield, Lin Xin'er was still circling around the enemy army.
"There are some things that have to be trade-offs." Leng Yanqiu said calmly under Huangfu Yanchong's questioning, "She knows that you are worried, so she asked me to help her get through the world." ”
He thought that Xin'er would have a way, but it turned out that Xin'er did have a way to infiltrate the enemy, but he didn't expect to use the Tianqiao Mountain that was like a heavenly stream. The Heavenly Split Mountain separates Xin'er from them.
"I believe her." Leng Yanqiu said as he bypassed Huangfu Yan and rushed forward.
Because of believing, masking worries.
Huangfu Yan bit the corner of her lower lip obliquely, crossed her waist with one hand and lifted the broken hair between her forehead with the other, stomped her feet on the spot, and returned to the camp.
If it was him, he would never take such a risk and let Xin'er leave alone, but what would happen if he didn't take the risk?
There is no answer anymore.
Huangfu Yan rushed back to the camp and heard the news that the Demon Voice Messenger had been kidnapped.
Lin Xin'er was not in a hurry, and she didn't let Xiao Yishan order someone to pursue it. To be precise, when she knew that someone was coming to save the Demon Voice Messenger, she asked Xiao Yishan not to be strict and gave them the opportunity to rob people.
Xiao Yishan knew that Lin Xin'er had to deal with other people, so he obeyed her arrangement. Anyway, now that the Alliance has been defeated, the troops have suffered heavy losses, the overall situation of the war has been decided, and the huge compensation to the Qingyuan Dynasty after that is enough for the Alliance to slow down for a long time, it is useless to leave a half-dead person who has been abandoned by the Union State.
"Why?" Huangfu Yan asked.
The Demonic Messenger was the one they had worked so hard to catch, and even if they wanted to take advantage of it, it would be a shame to let it go so easily.
"He's a wreck, just like I was back then, and I've broken his veins." Lin Xin'er said lightly, "She won't come, I just took the opportunity to return such a one to her." ”
It is always more powerful to let "her" see it with her own eyes than to hear it alone.
Are they going to fight each other? What was it that destined them to begin, so that she had been kept in the dark, confused for so many years, and fell into that motherly love and unwilling to pull it out?
"Xia Yubing?" Huangfu Yan Chong mentioned the name again.
Lin Xin'er looked straight ahead and didn't answer.
"Your dad is in her hands, right?" Huangfu Yanchong asked again.
"It should be." Lin Xin'er withdrew her distant gaze.
Let the Demon Messenger kill the Lin family in order to avenge her "tragic death" in the hands of those assassins and was not saved by the Lin family.
But Liu Suixiang's fate is worrying.
"Is the godmother also in her hands?" Huangfu Yan Chong asked again.
Suddenly, he thought he had the need to find it again, even if there was only a dried skeleton left, he would find it and bury it wholeheartedly.
"You don't have to look for Master, just be ...... She has already passed away......" Lin Xin'er said faintly, and the bottom of her voice was a deep sigh.
"Xin'er, is there anything else I don't know?" Huangfu Yan Chong noticed a faint abnormality.
Lin Xin'er's lips twitched slightly.
At that moment, Simon Che strode in through the open tent door and interrupted their conversation.
"I want to return to Beijing immediately, my father is seriously ill, Ximen Jingxuan controls the court and intends to seek the throne, if we delay in the north again, the consequences are unpredictable!"
After saying it in one breath, Simon Che sat aside with a calm face.
This was the first time he had spoken such a long sentence since he was rescued, and the affairs of the capital had been reported to Xiao Yishan one after another, and even if he didn't speak, he could hear it clearly.
When he learned that his mother was buried in the fire of the cold palace, he could no longer be silent.
Although he blamed Jiang Ziyin, and almost didn't see her much after she entered the cold palace in order to put aside the relationship, she was his queen mother after all, and she was the one who gave birth to him.
Moreover, Jiang Ziyin's accident is like slapping him in the face of the prince, no matter what, he can't sit idly by!
Ximen Che really wanted to lead the troops back, but unfortunately he couldn't even show the spirit he had before, although he was still respected as the prince, but from that kind of vision, he saw the consistent disdain, let alone use Xiao Yishan's people.
Speaking of which, these horses are all members of the imperial court, but they only listen to the orders of their generals when they encounter trouble.
"Even if they want to return to Beijing, the prince has to wait for the letter of surrender from the allied countries, does the prince want them to submit the letter of surrender to Ximen Jingxuan?" Lin Xin'er said unhurriedly.
"Let me take the book?" Simon Che was stunned, he didn't expect that there would be his own business.
Lin Xin'er nodded, "You are the commander who went out on the expedition by holy order, this letter can only be received by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on behalf of the imperial court, and the prince who returns to the capital is still the victor who returns triumphantly, morale is indispensable, otherwise what does the prince want to fight with King Xuan?" ”
