Chapter 207: Dead Village on a Snowy Night
He Lingchuan suddenly opened his eyes, turned over and sat up.
He was inside the carriage, the space was small, there was a half-game of chess on the low table in front of him, and there was a small stain on the opposite compartment wall, and there was a stacked mountain incense burner at his feet, and he was spitting incense unhurriedly.
He's back to reality.
He Lingchuan subconsciously touched his neck, and his hands were in cold sweat.
Intact.
He took a long breath, it was good to be alive.
It was his third experience of death, and the feeling of a cold blade slicing through his windpipe lingered — or did he do it himself.
There's one thing wrong with the Coiling Dragon Dream: it's too real.
How long will it take him to crawl out from the shadow of death this time?
He Lingchuan thought optimistically, the more times he died, did he become numb?
Lift the curtain, and the whirring wind is clear at once.
Yes, his father was in a hurry, and he missed the night, and now the army can only move forward against the sudden wind and snow. He Yue asked He Lingchuan's newly recruited staff member Sun Hongye to play chess to pass the time, and He Lingchuan was also watching chess in the carriage and "accidentally" fell asleep.
There is no way, who let the wind outside the window be too gentle, and the two of them are too boring to play chess.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, Sun Hongye probed in.
"Hey, are you awake?"
He Lingchuan yawned: "Why did you run away in the middle of playing chess?" ”
Sun Hongye coughed lightly: "The second young master said, I still won't disturb your rest." The truth was just the other way around, He Lingchuan snored like thunder, and the two of them couldn't get down.
"The Great Age of Genes"
"Come up and talk." He Lingchuan grabbed the cup and drank two sips of cold tea, "I'm so tired!" ”
No one knew that he was sleeping quietly here, but his divine consciousness had already entered the Panlong Wasteland to experience a vigorous battle, and he had died once, and he still had more than one season.
He had just experienced the thrill, and the world didn't know anything about it.
"I seem to have heard you say that Ke Jihai's two generals used your tactics to break through Woling Pass?" Then he fell asleep.
"Yes, it was I who gave advice to Lord Yushi, and he was so happy that he entered the palace overnight and dedicated this plan to the king as it was." At that time, Sun Hongye was a companion in the house of He Liwen, the imperial historian, and it was not difficult to meet He Yushi.
"I've heard the story of the two generals who broke through Woling Pass, and there are stories in the market, but your name doesn't appear in it at all." He Lingchuan sighed, "Old man He said cheekily, this is the number of ways he came up with by himself?" ”
"No, it's not."
It seems that He Yushi still needs a little face.
"Lord He reported that this is a plan that his third son, He Jing, came up with after worrying about state affairs and having been sleepless for more than two months." Sun Hongye smiled bitterly, "Afterwards, the king rewarded He Jing again." ”
He Lingchuan couldn't help laughing: "Greed for heaven is for children and grandchildren, this is all the old routine of being an official." Not fresh, not fresh! ”
"It's because I'm ignorant, I can't hold back my anger between my words, and as a result, it reached the ears of Lord He, and he expelled me from the He family."
The tea was already cold, there was no charcoal in the car, He Lingchuan grabbed the body of the pot and carried the real power, and after a while, hot steam came out of the mouth of the pot.
Then, he poured Sun Hongye a cup of hot tea with his own hands: "In Luming Garden, He Su, the second child of the He family, said nothing to me and Zhu Xiuer. If something goes wrong with your carriage going down the mountain, it has nothing to do with him. I wanted to give him some color, but then I thought, why don't I leave this opportunity to you? ”
Sun Hongye's complexion moved slightly.
If this is going to be replaced by other people, they will only persuade him to forget it, what qualifications does Xiao Bai Ding have to call the number with the current court?
He Lingchuan then said: "Don't be presumptuous, if you look at the appearance of the second and third elders of the He family, you will know that the He family is not prosperous." Come with me to the Northland for a few years, and the opportunity will come in a blink of an eye. ”
Sun Hongye thought for a while and nodded solemnly: "Okay!" ”
He is looking forward to following the He family to the north to show his strength.
"By the way, I found a light on the opposite hill, maybe it's a village. Master He has already called someone to investigate. Sun Hongye said with a smile, "Mrs. Ying is quite subtle. ”
He Lingchuan also poured himself a cup of hot tea and drank it to warm his stomach: "She was frightened by the bandits on the shore of Xianling Lake, thinking that all the villages in the world had bad intentions towards us. ”
"Hunger and cold make me feel guilty, and Madame's worries are not wrong." Sun Hongye lifted the curtain and looked at the mountains in the night, and sure enough, he saw the starry lights in front of him, which looked particularly amiable in the wind and snow, "It's just that our soldiers are strong and strong, and we dare not covet it." ”
He Lingchuan said lazily: "What bandits are you afraid of, our team brings its own bandits." ”
Wu Shaoyi, as well as hundreds of subordinates who were recruited together, although they did not have military uniforms to wear, they had been absorbed by He Chunhua's response army.
Sun Hongye solemnly said: "The second young master told me about the battle of Xianling Village. The eldest young master, you stay behind, this is brave; If you don't die off the cliff, this is luck; You took the opportunity to subdue the crocodile demon and Wu Shaoyi, this is wise. Wisdom, courage and luck, you are not as simple as it seems. ”
"Is it as simple as I look?" He Lingchuan rolled his eyelids, "Tout it well, maybe I'll give you a raise." ”
"The young man is cynical but has no habits, and he is thoughtful but not soft, and he is the general who is most needed in the Northland campaign." Sun Hongye said with a smile, "If Lord He has a discerning eye, he will definitely entrust you with a heavy responsibility." ”
Not far ahead, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves.
He Lingchuan lifted the curtain and saw a horse rushing from the opposite mountain road and merging into the team in front of the Ying Army.
It seems that the scout who is looking for the way forward has returned.
Sure enough, not long after, an officer rode back and forth to give orders, asking the officers and men to cheer up and deal with emergencies.
He Lingchuan stretched out his hand to stop him: "What happened ahead?" ”
"Slaughter the village." The officer replied, "Seventy or eighty men and women were killed in the village ahead, and the murderers did not spare even young children. ”
"Bandits entering the village again?" The security of the big kite is also too bad.
"It's not like a blade. He asked us to move on, but to be prepared for battle. ”
The wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier, and the army must find a place to stay. Although there is a fierce village ahead, after this village, I don't know how far the next store will be.
Marching in the wind and snow is more dangerous than rushing on a rainy night.
What's more, He Chunhua has hundreds of soldiers under his command at the moment, even if it is a wilderness, what power can pose a threat to him?
So the whole team went according to the original plan.
Since there was an accident ahead, He Lingchuan couldn't continue to rely on the car, so he rode a horse and went to the front to find his father.
Two quarters of an hour later, the army arrived at the village halfway up the mountain.
This village is smaller than Xianling Village, and there are dozens of houses, including private houses, firewood houses, fences, warehouses, etc., and most of the houses are lit up.
There were blood stains on the floor and walls.
He Lingchuan didn't see the corpse, but he saw traces of dragging on the ground.
