"General Cao!"

As if humiliated, the soldier raised his head and said: "As a Beiliang soldier, I will not betray no matter what, please don't make such words and insult us." ”

As he spoke, he pulled out the blood-stained long knife on his waist, respectfully presented the cold knife to Ye Liang, and said as if he were dead: "If the young master doesn't believe it, he will die in the next wish to prove the innocence of the brothers and General Qingning." ”

"We are also willing to die to prove General Qingning's innocence. ”

The rest of the soldiers bowed to their knees in unison.

"Get up. ”

Ye Liang held up the generals with his Xuan power, and his tone was calm and heartfelt: "I, Ye Liang, believe in my Beiliang soldiers!"

This simple word of trust made those soldiers who were fighting for their lives on the battlefield, accustomed to life and death, and iron-clad soldiers, their hearts warm slightly, and their eyes were moist and red: "General Xie trusts!"

After all, for the soldiers, they are not afraid of the bloody battlefield, what they are afraid of is only the unbelief of the general, the suspicion and rejection of the people in their hometown, and how can Ye Liang's unconditional trust not move them now?

How do you keep the complaints you have in their hearts from disappearing?

As if he knew that he was a little impatient, his words were inappropriate, Cao Feng was prompted by Ji Yuheng's eyes, and he stubbornly confessed his mistake to those archers: "This will be because he is in a hurry, and his words may be inappropriate." ”

"I apologize to all the soldiers. ”

As he spoke, he saluted respectfully.

When those soldiers saw Cao Feng's behavior, they also returned the salute one after another, and then, the soldier who took the lead in speaking, said: "General Cao's words are serious, and we also know that General Cao is a soldier who mourns the death of the tiger, so he will be so anxious." ”

Especially the death of Zhou Wei, even they were distressed and regretful, not to mention Cao Feng, who was originally a former minister of the Central Zhou Palace.

At this point, he took the initiative to explain to Cao Feng: "Actually, it's not that we don't want to go back, it's just that at the beginning, we have been chased and killed, so that we have to flee indiscriminately, and we have no time to rest, stop and identify the direction and return." ”

"Later, we finally got out temporarily, and we were worried that there would be an ambush by the army of Nanyun Wangfu on the way back, so we could only plan to rest first, recover a little, and then find a time to return to the house, which delayed the trip. ”

"Yes, and we hid in the farmhouse several times to recuperate, but we were all found by the pursuers of the Nanyun Palace, thanks to General Qingning, regardless of the wounded, fought to the death against the enemy, we and the farmer were able to escape safely. A lean-looking soldier echoed.

"Yes, along the way, General Qingning let us rest and heal, but he has always supported us and never rested. A soldier with a somewhat fierce face nodded his head.

"To be able to stop and kill the invading enemy, but also worry about the comfort of the farmer who has settled, and let him go first for fear of being poisoned, and put the safety of the soldiers first along the way, this kind of kindness and righteousness is really admirable. ”

A handsome general on Ji Yuheng's side, with eyes like black jade, couldn't help but praise.

"Yes, it's really impressive. ”

With the leader of the general, the rest of the soldiers nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the generals had changed their attitudes, the general solemnly continued: "So, the generals really misunderstood General Qingning, she is really innocent, and she is wholeheartedly for us Beiliang." ”

As he spoke, he knelt down on one knee in front of Ye Liang and arched his hand: "Please also ask the young general Mingjian, don't blame General Qingning." ”

"Please also ask General Mingjian, don't blame General Qingning. ”

The soldiers knelt on the ground in unison, and bowed their hands to plead.

Facing their pleading, Ye Liang's deep black eyes stared at Gu Qingning, who was indeed seriously injured and dying, and the waves rose slightly: "Could it be that I really misunderstood her?"

In his opinion, his guess must be different from the truth, which is wrong, and if Gu Qingning is bad, then the price she paid for disguise seems to be a bit big.

The most important thing is that he is thinking, is it really necessary for Nanyun Palace, in order to cooperate with Gu Qingning, and pay the price of heavy casualties to hide the sky and the sea for him?

Is she really so important to Nanyun Palace?

Ye Liang couldn't think of this for the time being, so his heart, which was sure that Gu Qingning had a problem, was also slightly shaken.

Thinking of this, Ye Liang looked at the soldier who knelt on the ground and bowed his head respectfully, and finally said: "Get up, since it was a misunderstanding, I don't blame her." ”

"It's also the blame for the general, thinking indiscriminately and misunderstanding her. ”

Obviously, although he still had some doubts and pimples in his heart, under the so-called facts, he still chose to back down after all, in case he made a mistake, and really blamed Gu Qingning and chilled the hearts of all the soldiers present.

Hearing this, the soldiers who knelt down and begged raised their heads one after another, stood up with a happy face, looked at Gu Qingning's excited and joyful words, and said: "Great, General Qingning, the young master doesn't blame you." ”

In this regard, Gu Qingning also cried with some joy and nodded her head.

She knelt down abruptly, and said solemnly to Ye Liang: "Ye Liang, not to mention the heavy losses caused by my march to the seven thousand soldiers, but also because of my unauthorized departure, the three thousand soldiers all died. ”

"If you don't lead like this, you will harm others and yourself, please punish me!"

As soon as her words came out, before Ye Liang could speak, those soldiers spoke one after another, saying: "The general is not to blame for this matter, only to blame me, if the general hadn't saved us, this would not have happened." ”

"Therefore, if the young master wants to punish us, punish us!"

"The battlefield is ever-changing, and the enemy's strategy is even more unpredictable, so..."

Suddenly a long voice sounded, and Ye Lie slowly stepped in outside the door, and spit out: "There are victories and defeats, losses and wins, all are normal, there is no need to blame yourself too much." ”

"See the prince. ”

Everyone watched him step in and shouted respectfully.

"Get up. Ye Lie nodded, and said to Gu Qingning and the group of soldiers who were kneeling.

"Lord Wang, Qing Ning didn't dare to get up, aside from this matter, Qing Ning's information was wrong, and it was also a fact that General Zhou Wei died, so please punish Qing Ning for it. ”

Gu Qingning knelt down and hung her head, looking extremely self-reproachful and genuine.

"Alas, get up, Qingning. ”

Ye Lie sighed and said: "You can't blame this matter, after all, who can guarantee that all the news heard by the detectives is correct, and the blame is only that the Nanyun Mansion is too cunning and treacherous." ”

"What's more..."

He changed his words slightly: "You are already wounded, even if you are guilty, it is enough to get over it." ”

"No, a mistake is a mistake, and I can't atone for it. ”

With a stubborn word, Gu Qingning got up suddenly, turned a dagger out of his hand, and stabbed straight at his chest, stabbing the blood and chilling into the flesh.

Then, regardless of the discoloration of everyone present, she bit her pink lips with silver teeth, and said bitterly: "I owe Zhou Wei and the soldiers who died in vain, so I will use three knives to replace three lives and repay their debts." ”

"If it's not enough, when I finish driving away the enemy for Beiliang, and the war in Beiliang is over, I will take my life back. ”

As she spoke, she ignored the persuasion of many people, and tried to raise her sword and stab again.

Swish... Boom...

Suddenly flying forward, after Ye Liang stretched out his hand and opened the dagger in Gu Qingning's hand, his attitude was slightly calm, and he said, "Since the matter has nothing to do with you, you don't want to harm yourself like this." ”

"Otherwise, it will only make the relatives painful and the enemies happy. ”

"Ye Liang. Gu Qingning's eyes suddenly turned red, and he shouted in a whisper.

She wanted to throw herself into Ye Liang's arms and cry, but her crippled body, which had not yet pounced, was already overwhelmed, as if after this thorn, she finally broke the last string.

made the whole person uncontrollable to close his eyes and faint, and fell towards Ye Liang.

Seeing this scene, after Ye Liang's complexion changed, he subconsciously stretched out his hand and held him.

Then, he didn't think much about it, and directly accompanied the generals under Ye Lie's slightly worried nod, and hurriedly took Gu Qingning down to heal his injuries.

No one noticed that Gu Qingning, who had fainted, hung his head, and when he lowered his head, there was a wisp of cunning and self-satisfaction on the jade face covered by green silk.
