Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Battle in Jiangnan
Chapter Eighty-Nine
Suburbs.
In a farmstead that had been badly damaged by plunder, Congsi sat in a charred stone pavilion and slowly wiped a jade pendant in his hand.
Behind him, a young man in black walked quickly.
He half-knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "Lord! ”
From the silk eyes do not squint: "How's the situation?" ”
The subordinate responded: "Xiao Shangyi's situation is in danger, and it is very likely that he will not be able to survive." ”
Hearing this, he hooked the corners of his mouth from the silk: "Not necessarily." ”
The subordinates were a little puzzled: "The subordinates don't understand." ”
Put away the jade pendant in the hand of the silk general: "Xiao Shangyi can come to this day, it is definitely not a big fate, there is no shortage of masters around him." ”
Especially the piercing worm who controlled the Gu corpse that night.
Thinking of this, Congsi's eyes were cold.
"Where's Xun Di? Where have they been!? ”
Hearing this, his subordinates immediately reported: "The deputy chief of Xun Di assists Chen Jingkai, and he is about to recover Jiangnan, and he will probably lead his troops to the imperial capital in the near future." ”
Congsi raised her eyebrows: "Got it, go down." ”
As soon as the voice fell, the subordinate responded: "Yes!" ”
……
Gangnam.
Xun Di had just finished a war, he was clad in bulky armor, and he held a red-tasseled spear tightly in his hand, and the winter wind blew wildly, bringing a bitter cold.
I saw the red cloak behind Xun Di swaying wantonly with the wind, unstoppable.
The color of red as blood becomes so conspicuous on a cold winter day.
Xun Di silently wiped the blood stains on his face, it was the blood of the enemy, and when it was first sprayed, it was warm and seemed to be a little hot.
Behind him, someone stopped him: "Son, the emperor is invited." ”
Hearing this, Xun Di turned around expressionlessly: "Got it." ”
"Yes!" Someone answered.
Then, Xun Di raised his hand and gestured to the lieutenant general not far away.
Seeing this, Deputy General Zheng Tongchang immediately walked quickly towards Xun Di.
He clenched his fists and said, "General, what do you have to order!?" ”
Zheng Tongchang has just been taken over by Xun Di, but he can be said to be loyal to Xun Di.
Not only because Xun Di is a good kung fu, but also because Zheng Tongchang was originally subordinate to Xiao Shangyi, Xun Di disregarded his previous suspicions and specially promoted himself to deputy general.
For a soldier, fame and fortune are naturally the most important one, otherwise just for that little bit of military salary, how can there be a future?
Xun Di said lightly: "I'm sorry for you to help clean up the battlefield here, I have something to go to see Chen Jingkai." ”
Xun Di has always called people by name, and Zheng Tongchang was stunned for the first time when he heard someone so rude to the emperor, but after calling a few more times, he gradually got used to it.
Hearing this, Zheng Tongchang clenched his fists again: "The general is polite, this is the duty of his subordinates!" ”
Xun Di glanced at the surrounding corpses, and his expression was indifferent: "These are just the results of the selfish desires of the superiors, how can you say that you are responsible?" ”
After saying that, Xun Di set off to leave.
Looking at Xun Di, who was full of murderous aura, Zheng Tongchang sighed silently.
It seems that this Xun Di general is not the person he will continue to follow in the future, after all, he can see that people have no desire for such things as fame and fortune.
But Xun Di has already gone away, and he will not know what Zheng Tongchang is thinking.
……
On the city tower, Chen Jingkai was condescending in a brown silk robe.
On the vast battlefield in front of them, although there were countless casualties and bloodshed, fortunately, they won.
How many days have passed, and that's what he wants to see.
As long as things continue to develop like this, in a few months, the former throne will definitely return to his hands!
Xiao Shangyi...... Hum! It's just a beam-jumping clown!
The more Chen Jingkai thought about it, the more excited he became, and the scene of his re-enthronement and acceptance of the worship and admiration of the people unconsciously appeared in his mind.
Behind him, the footsteps of Xun Di gradually became obvious.
His tone was cold: "You're looking for me?" ”
Hearing the movement, Chen Jingkai quickly turned around: "You're here!?" ”
"Today's battle, but tired? The face is so bad? Are you hurt? ”
Hearing this, Xun Di shook his head lightly: "I wasn't injured." ”
Hearing this, Chen Jingkai was quite comforted, and he smiled very satisfied: "You have made another great contribution today!" In the future, if you want anything, I will find it for you. ”
Except for the throne.
As soon as the words fell, Xun Di shook his head: "I don't want anything, besides, I told you that helping you is just a matter of affection, and more importantly, for Dongyan Building." ”
Hearing this, Chen Jingkai finally felt a little relieved.
"Well...... I came to you to tell you something. ”
"The imperial city is in chaos, the palace was burned, and now it has become a ruin, Xiao Shangyi was also seriously injured and is now unconscious."
Hearing this, Xun Di raised his head a little excitedly: "Is there any news of my little junior sister!?" ”
Chen Jingkai nodded: "Chief Master Jingxiao is safe now, she has left the imperial city and is waiting for you on the outskirts of the city." ”
"In two days' time, we will be able to reclaim the last of our lost ground, and then we will ...... He will wave his troops to the north and kill the imperial capital! ”
"Of course, your brothers and sisters can also be reunited then."
Hearing this, Xun Di slowly regained his cold look: "I know." ”
"Tomorrow, tomorrow I will lead the troops to Yangjun and take it back."
Chen Jingkai suddenly felt funny: "Your senior brothers and sisters have a very good relationship, just like your own brothers and sisters." ”
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was instantly a little embarrassed.
They are brothers and sisters, so what about him and Xundi? Brothers by blood?
But Xun Di didn't pay attention to someone: "My sister and I grew up since we were children, so we are naturally like brothers and sisters. ”
Hearing this, Chen Jingkai asked with some uncertainty: "In that case, why don't you get married as soon as possible?" It can also be a little closer. ”
As soon as the words fell, Xun Di looked at someone with a disgusted face: "You are sick, right?" How could my sister and I come here!? ”
Hearing this, Chen Jingkai was stunned: "Then ...... you?" ”
Xun Di counterattacked: "It's all about brothers and sisters!" Sibling! Don't you understand or!? ”
At this moment, Chen Jingkai was completely embarrassed: "Understand ......"
Looking at Chen Jingkai's expression, Xun Di was inexplicably a little angry in his heart, he took a fancy to Qin Yueqing, but unfortunately Qin Yueqing used to be Chen Jingkai's concubine......
Immediately, Xun Di took a sip: "Call me just to tell me the news, it's better not to call!" Waste your time! ”
"I'm going to go, I'm in the way, I'm going back to sleep, and I'll call me when dinner is ready!"
After saying that, Xun Di turned to leave, leaving a rushing back.
Behind him, Chen Jingkai and a eunuch beside him were a little stunned when they saw this.
Eunuch: I am afraid that the only one who dares to talk to the emperor like this is this Xun Di Gongzi......
Thinking of this, the eunuch hurriedly pleaded guilty: "The emperor is angry, Xun Di Gongzi is so straightforward, you see that he won the battle today, and let him go first!?" ”
Hearing this, Chen Jingkai was a little funny and a little lost.
"Let him go, I don't care about him."
His younger brother is not suitable for the royal family after all.
