CHAPTER XXXIV
Li Fang's mansion was only a short distance of more than a hundred steps from the gate to the inner hall, but for Qingqing at this moment, every step he took deepened his danger.
Although Qingqing is meticulous about people, after all, she is still a teenage girl, and when she is facing a major juncture in her life, she still can't help but hesitate. But when Qingqing's footsteps stepped into the inner hall of Li Fang's mansion, the whole person calmed down inexplicably, and his original mind with mixed thoughts was also clear in an instant. This is what makes Qingqing different from ordinary people, at the moment when it is a matter of life and death, at the moment when she needs to make a decision, she can always calm her mood, and at this moment, her keen observation of the matter itself will be exerted to the extreme.
Li Fang, who was walking in front, was the same as Qingqing along the way, he also bowed his head and was silent, and even the subordinates next to him nodded to him, but he didn't realize it.
Speaking of Li Fang, he is now close to the age of confusion, and he is one of the only three middle-aged people among the senior generals of the "homeland", the other two are Li Qiu and Su Mi, who is stationed in Suger all the year round. But compared with the other two, Li Fang's life is so different. For the first thirty years of his life, he was no different from many nobles on the continent, enjoying brocade food in his fiefdom. And the only difference from other nobles is that in his life, there are no nonsensical gatherings, no feasts in the wine pools and meat forests, and no feasts in the wives and concubines, and he seems to dedicate the most important things in his life to books. The most surprising thing in his castle were the piles of military and geography books that almost reached the roof. It can be said that among the four major families of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, he Li Fang is not only a freak of the Lie family, but also a freak of the entire four major families.
Despite this, Li Fang still enjoyed swimming in his own world. In countless military books, he talked freely with many ancient famous generals about the past and the present, and dominated the world, and among the famous generals in this vast sea of stars, the most admired was undoubtedly Li Haotian, the emperor of Tianlong a hundred years ago. It can be said that in Li Haotian's life, the goddess of victory seems to have become his lover forever, and she has not lost a single battle, and she can really be described as the "first general" in the past and present.
As for the application of cavalry, Li Fang believes that even at the current level of Li Yuxuan, I am afraid that it is still far behind. Tianlong's iron cavalry on that day can be described as "mercury leaking the ground, pervasive", and high-speed mobility is its magic weapon for victory. As long as Tianlong's iron cavalry breaks through a hole in the enemy's formation, then he can quickly put all his troops into it, and use the mobility of the cavalry on the battlefield to make his own troops far exceed the opponent within a certain range of the battlefield, so even in the face of ten times the enemy, Li Haotian is still "talking and laughing with soldiers", and finally wins more with less.
Li Fang, who has been immersed in Li Haotian's cavalry tactics for more than 20 years, has truly appreciated the essence of his tactics. Although the scale of each of Li Haotian's wars was quite huge, in the first battle against the "Continental Alliance" more than 100 years ago, the combined strength of the two sides exceeded 2 million, but after five major battles, the number of soldiers and soldiers on both sides was only more than 100,000, which was unimaginable in the eyes of others.
Collapse the enemy!
This is the essence of Li Haotian's military thought, and it is also the biggest reason why the Heavenly Dragon Cavalry was able to run rampant in the world back then. Although the Heavenly Dragon Cavalry at that time was well-equipped and well-trained, if it were not for Li Haotian's cavalry tactical thinking, I am afraid that it would have been exhausted in large-scale wars one after another.
It is precisely because of Li Fang's admiration and loyalty to Li Haotian, and because of Li Fang's understanding of history, that Li Fang's decision to travel to the mainland to find Li Haotian's descendants prompted Li Fang's decision, and therefore he met the blood master and Li Yuxuan in Frank, and therefore has his homeland today's Lieutenant General Li Fang.
Years of travel, so that Li Fang out of the books, whether it is the observation of the mainland geography or the mainland talents, the understanding of cavalry or the deployment of large-scale operations, have entered the maturity, the only regret is that he is not confused and has not yet married. Seeing Qingqing, I remembered the entanglement with Princess Zhao Yi back then, and I couldn't help but feel sad.
When he first saw Qingqing, Li Fang felt that this seemingly submissive little girl was not simple. And this is also the reason why Li Yuxuan did not agree with Li Yuyang to redeem his life at the beginning. At the port of Antwerp, although she didn't look back, Li Yuxuan felt a trace of coldness on her body. It was a kind of coldness brought to her by the torture of life, which could be said to have penetrated deep into her bone marrow and melted into her character.
Hopefully this is a turning point.
When Li Fang stepped into the inner hall, he prayed secretly in his heart.
"I'm here to get the 'Black Dragon Talisman'!" Without any beating around the bush, Qingqing directly said his intention for this trip.
Although Li Fang had imagined the possible situation countless times, he still didn't expect Qingqing to be so straightforward, it can be said that he went straight to the point, and went straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Who told you that the 'Black Dragon Talisman' is with me, Li Qiu?" Although Li Fang was shocked in his heart, he was still silent on the surface.
"I think it's happened so far, and the 'Black Dragon Talisman' is already coming out of someone's place. ”
"What reason do you have to think so, to be so sure that thing will be with me?"
"Because someone told me four words!"
"Who!"
"Xu Ruoyu!"
When he heard the words "Xu Ruoyu", Li Fang, who was as immobile as a mountain before, was also moved. Because those two things related to the fate of the "homeland" were originally given to him by Xu Ruoyu. It can also be said that this is something that God knows, and he and Xu Ruoyu know. Now that such a "third party" suddenly ran out, how could Li Xinzhong not be shaken.
"Which four words?" Li Fang almost said word by word, using all the strength of his body to say this sentence, and the expression on his face also changed from the plain just now, and became extremely hideous. Obviously, if Qingqing can't give him a satisfactory answer, I'm afraid it will be difficult to walk out of Li Fang's mansion today. Because once this news is leaked, the consequences are devastating.
"Sleepy Dragon Ascension!"
Li Fang frowned slightly, then raised his head and laughed inexplicably.
"It's a 'sleepy dragon ascending to heaven', it is really Xu Ruoyu's kid's style.
"Okay, I didn't expect the young girl to be so bold, it was indeed a big surprise to my Li Fang. But I want to ask more, I don't know if it's okay!"
"My lord, as long as the little woman knows, she must know everything. ”
"Okay, then don't blame the old man for being abrupt. Once Li Qiu sits in the position of the head of the family, isn't it more advantageous for Li Yuyang and for you? Why do you want to help the head of the family?" After speaking, he looked directly at Qingqing, as if he wanted to see her heart from her face.
After hesitating for a moment, Qingqing replied, "The head of the family is undoubtedly a very outstanding man. ”
With just such a sentence, Qingqing no longer had any other expression, she believed that Li Fang was a person who could understand everything.
After so many years of experience, how could Li Fang not see the melancholy on Qingqing's face, and sighed softly and said, "Why bother, you are such a smart girl, you should know ......"
Before Li Fang could finish speaking, Qingqing immediately interrupted him: "Master Li, I hope you can keep this secret, because this is a secret that cannot be said, and it is also a secret that I will never be able to tell for the rest of my life." If it weren't for the fact that today is at stake, I'm afraid this is also a secret in my heart for the rest of my life. ”
"Now that Miss Bai has passed away, don't you want to ......?"
"No, it can't be. I won't have such wishful thinking, I was born as Li Yuyang's person in this life, and Li Yuyang's ghost in death, this is a fate that no one can change, including myself. ”
Li Fang couldn't believe that a teenage girl would have such a heavy emotional burden and was destined to carry a lifetime of emotional baggage. But for this kind of thing, he is also powerless.
"Since this is the case, then you are doing it now, ...... for Li Yuyang"
"So we need to settle this matter before the head of the family returns, as soon as possible, so that fewer people will be involved. ”
"I understand. It's with me, I'll get it for you. But have you figured out a way out of town?"
"I've thought about it, I'm ready to have a showdown with Li Yuyang directly!"
"Are you sure he'll be on our side?"
"At least seventy percent sure. I believe that Master Li also knows that everything is risky, and in this matter, everyone is betting on their future and even their lives. Now that Lord Xu and Master Li have put their bets on the table, I believe that my Qingqing bet is naturally indispensable!"
"There is pride! I can see the young girl so proud, why don't I bet on him once!"
