Chapter VII: Frontline Crisis
Shan Zheng also looked over, and sure enough, he saw that Xue Gang on the bed had woken up.
Xue Gang, who had just woken up, was still a little confused.
"Well, where is this, am I not in the prison?"
"This is Zhennan Wangfu, Uncle Xue Gang, you take a rest first, I'll invite my mother first, and we'll talk about it in detail." ”
After Lin Feng finished speaking, he left the guest room to find his mother, Ye Ningshuang.
Xue Gang, who looked ignorant, looked at the situation around him, it was indeed the familiar Zhennan Palace, and after seeing Cao Dayong beside him, he opened his mouth and asked: "Dayong, what's going on, am I not in the Heavenly Prison? How did I return to the palace?"
Cao Dayong smiled and said: "General Xue, you were originally in the heavenly prison, and you were tortured and unconscious, and it was Fengzi who rescued you from the heavenly prison." ”
"I see, by the way, how long have I been in a coma?"
"It didn't take long for Senior Shan to say that you were in a coma last night, and now it's almost dawn, it should only be a few hours. ”
Cao Dayong also glanced at Shan Zheng next to him uncertainly.
Xue Gang also glanced at Shan Zheng: "Well, this one seems to be very familiar?"
"He is Shan Zheng, Shan senior, the one who is in the same cell with you, and he was also rescued by Fengzi. ”
"I said how can it be so familiar. Well, no, how did all my injuries heal?"
Xue Gang suddenly found that all the injuries on his body were healed, and he couldn't help shouting excitedly.
"Your injuries were also healed by Fengzi. ”
"What? My injuries were treated by the second son? I remember that I was severely injured yesterday by all kinds of heavy punishments, and I was seriously injured, and it took less than a day to work hard, and this injury was all healed.
"What kind of miracle doctor please, it was Fengzi who made a bowl of medicine for you to drink, and then you will be fine. ”
Cao Dayong's words exploded in Xue Gang's heart like a bomb, and he sat up from the bed with a bang, his eyes wide.
"You said that the second son just gave me a bowl of medicine, and my injuries were all healed?"
"That's right, it's incredible, although I don't believe it either, but that's the way it is, I'll tell you an even more incredible thing, Feng Zi's cultivation broke through to the eightfold innate spirit realm of forging the body overnight, just like you. ”
Seeing Xue Gang's frightened mouth open and he could stuff an egg, Cao Dayong's heart felt comfortable, I was shocked all night last night, and it will be your turn.
Xue just wanted to say something, but just happened to see Lin Feng come back, followed by a middle-aged beauty who had a sick face, but still couldn't hide her peerless appearance.
"Madame!"
After Xue Gang saw the person coming clearly, his lips trembled, and he shouted excitedly.
Seeing that Xue Gang had recovered, Ye Ningshuang was very relieved in her heart, and said excitedly: "Brother Xue Gang, are you okay!"
"It's okay, my injuries are all healed, just now I heard Dayong's kid say that my injuries were treated by the second son?"
Xue Gang didn't doubt Cao Dayong's words, but this matter was too unbelievable, and when he met Ye Ningshuang, he couldn't help but want to verify it again.
Ye Ningshuang nodded and said, "It's okay, it's true that Feng'er boiled you a bowl of medicine, but I think it's mainly because you have a good physique and recover quickly." ”
Hearing Ye Ningshuang's words, Xue Gang no longer doubted that he knew his own injuries very well, as for what Ye Ningshuang said about good physique, it was completely polite, and he stood up immediately and saluted Lin Feng.
Lin Feng hurriedly helped him up, and said with a smile: "Uncle Xue Gang, we are our own people, so don't come to these vulgar rites, let's talk about what happened when you came back this time." ”
Xue Gang is also a bold person, he glanced at Ye Ningshuang, who was full of worry, and he was not hypocritical at the moment.
"It was the prince who sent me back to find reinforcements. ”
"Looking for reinforcements? It seems that Wei Yi is really in big trouble, otherwise with his character, he would never have sent someone back to find reinforcements. Xue Gang, you hurry up and talk about the situation on the front line. ”
Ye Ningshuang's sickly face was full of worry, and he said anxiously.
Seeing Ye Ningshuang's anxious appearance, Xue Gang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly began to speak.
"Since the prince led my 300,000 Heavenly Wolf Army to the south in October last year, the progress has been very smooth, and for most of the year, my Heavenly Wolf Army has been like a bamboo, not only recovering all the cities occupied by the Japanese in our dynasty, but also carrying out a counteroffensive, once occupying five cities in the Eastern Ying Kingdom, and the Japanese Marshal Abe Jin Gou was unable to resist at all, and retreated all the way.
Just three months ago, Abe Shingo, who fled all the way in a hurry, was blocked in Yokohama Castle by our Heavenly Wolf Army, and just as our army was preparing to take Yokohama Castle in one go, a group of 30,000 elite troops suddenly came out of the Japanese army. ”
Speaking of this, Xue Gang's face was full of grief and indignation, his eyes were red, and his voice stopped for a moment.
"All 30,000 people use red steel swords, and this battle is not easy to fight. Where did this Wayi get so much red steel?"
Lin Feng frowned and said.
"That's true, so the prince immediately made a decision, and the army immediately retreated to the front line of Yokosu City, which was occupied by us, and set up a three-talent formation to hold on, and sent a fine work to Dongying Kingdom to inquire about the situation. ”
"Well, dad did the right thing, knowing that the other side can win every battle. ”
After glancing at Lin Feng a little strangely, Xue Gang continued: "After our army held on to the front line of Yokosu City for more than a month, I made a detailed report, it turned out that Dongying Kingdom discovered a huge red steel mine in Nagasaki Mountain two years ago, and I heard that the output of red steel is still very high. ”
"But this red steel is extremely hard, ordinary swordsmiths can't refine it at all, with the national strength of the Dongying Kingdom, how did they forge 30,000 red steel swords in two years?"
Lin Feng's eyes sparkled, and the idea of this red steel mine began to play in his mind.
"The reward for the meticulous work is that the Dongying Kingdom used a large amount of red steel as a price, and invited the sword-casting family Tiemu clan to help them produce these 30,000 red steel swords. ”
"No wonder, this Temu clan is the leading sword-forging family on the mainland, and only they have the ability to forge 30,000 red steel swords in two years. ”
Shan Zheng, who had been standing on the side and didn't say anything, interjected.
Glancing at Shan Zheng in a little surprise, Xue Gang continued: "If there are only 30,000 elite soldiers, it will not be difficult for the prince's great talent. However, Marshal Abe Shingo suddenly launched a large-scale attack on the weak points of our army's defenses, so that our army could not take care of each other, suffered heavy casualties, and was forced to retreat. But no matter where we retreat or what kind of defense we arrange, then Abe Jingou can find our weaknesses and attack.
So the military advisor Ji Bowen suspected that there were Japanese people in our army, and hoped that the prince would order a detailed investigation. But the prince resolutely did not believe it, he said that these brothers are all old people who have followed him for many years, and there will never be a fine work. ”
"My father is right, it's not a Japanese work, it's Jiang Yuan's secret. ”
Lin Feng's eyes sparkled, thinking of so many Heavenly Wolf Army brothers dying because of this, the murderous aura in his body was involuntarily released again.
It was the first time to feel such a powerful murderous aura, even a veteran like Xue Gang, who had been on the battlefield for decades, experienced life and death, and killed countless people, was a little unbearable.
Seeing Xue Gang's surprised eyes, Lin Feng hurriedly calmed down his emotions and withdrew his murderous aura.
Xue Gang, who was relieved, looked at Lin Feng's eyes and became full of reverence.
This is the difference between straightforward soldiers and ordinary people, in their eyes there are no twists and turns, only respect for the strong.
"How did the second son know?"
"It was Jiang Jie who said it himself, how did you find it over there. ”
"It was secretly investigated by the third division and the eldest prince, it turned out that Jiang Yuan had inserted his distant nephew Jiang Ming'an into the Heavenly Wolf Army very early, and he did all this. I originally brought his confession back this time, but unfortunately I was taken away by Jiang Jie's bastard in the prison. ”
"It's Jiang Jie again. ”
A killing intent flashed in Lin Feng's eyes.
Xue Gang was full of indignation and continued: "Although the inner ghosts have been eliminated, nearly half of our army's casualties have been increased, and the total number of troops has reached 600,000.
After several losses and defeats, Abe Jingou no longer attacked, and our two sides were in a stalemate for more than half a month. ”
After a pause and clearing his throat, Xue Gang continued: "But one night just a month and a half ago, the Japanese side actually sent two innate triple masters to assassinate the prince......
"Ah, how is Wei Yi?"
Ye Ningshuang was shocked when she heard this, and anxiously interrupted Xue Gang's words.
Seeing her anxious appearance, Xue Gang hurriedly said: "The prince is fine, the prince was inspecting the barracks with me at that time, and then those two retreated under the deterrence of the Qizheng Thirteen Sword Formation and three thousand crossbowmen of the Zhennan Iron Guard. ”
"There shouldn't be such a master in Dongying Kingdom, do you know who those two are?"
Lin Feng's sharp eyes swept over Xue Gang, and his brows furrowed even tighter.
"I don't know who it is, but it's definitely not from Dongying Country. ”
"General Xue, tell me what these two people look like, maybe I can guess it, but I don't know. ”
Shan Zheng on the side interjected again.
Xue Gang glanced at Shan Zheng, then at Lin Feng, and when he saw Lin Feng nodding, he immediately spoke: "Those two people are about fifty years old, both of them are sword-wielders, one is tall, the other is short, the tall one is very thin, and he has a thunder mouth......
"The short one has a pair of goldfish eyes, a finger-long scar on the right side of his face, and a very short temper. ”
Xue Gang didn't get angry because Shan Zheng interrupted him, but looked at Shan Zheng with wide eyes: "How did Mr. Shan know?"
Shan Zheng didn't answer Xue Gang's words, and directly turned his head to Lin Feng and said, "These two people are the elders of the Amaterasu Sect, the tall one is called Thin Lei Gong: Li Ming, and the short one is called Scarface: Li Yi, I know them." ”
"Amaterasu, Li Ming, Li Yi, very good, I wrote it down. ”
Lin Feng's face was full of anger, and his eyes were shining.
"Uncle Xue Gang, you go on. ”
Although Xue Gang wondered in his heart how Shan Zheng knew these two people, he didn't ask, and then said: "After a few days, these two people suddenly attacked the gate, and more than 30 soldiers guarding the gate were killed by them in an instant, and the two people opened the gate, so that the Dongying army took advantage of the situation to enter, and the Dongying army was strong, and our army could only retreat again, just like that, in half a month, our army retreated two hundred miles and lost three cities.
In desperation, the prince sent me back to the capital to find reinforcements. ”
As soon as Xue Gang's words fell, a burst of wild laughter suddenly came from outside.
