"I thought that Mo Yunxi had a reputation when he was young, and at least he should be a respectable opponent."

But today, it seems that this is not the case, at least these methods are not what Xiao Ce imagined.

Lu Changfeng lowered his head and pondered for a moment, Mo Yunxi had killed so many of their brothers, causing him to fall off the cliff and be seriously injured, hanging Qi An's head above the city gate, and setting fire to the city to kill so many people in Jinling City, each of which was naturally an inseparable mortal enemy for him, and when he looked up again, the candle flame on the side was reflected on Lu Changfeng's face, and his heavy gaze fell on Xiao Ce's body:

"If Your Royal Highness needs it, I can naturally go to the confrontation, although Qi An is dead, those brothers in the military camp will still believe me if they have been born and died with me for many years."

Lu Changfeng had been in the barracks for so long, so he didn't believe that they would really trust Mo Yunxi easily.

Xiao Ce actually considered directly facing the defenders of the Heavenly Danger City before coming over, but if they blamed the mortal enemies of Jinling City on them, in addition to the normal war, the national hatred plus the old hatred was very important to Luoyang, but it could not be obtained at too much price, and now Lu Changfeng was willing to help, Xiao Ce was naturally grateful, so he said: "Then thank you General Lu." ”

Lu Changfeng was ashamed of this, and hurriedly got up: "It's me who wants to thank His Royal Highness First for the second." ”

Xiao Ce hurriedly held him down, not to mention that he had injuries on his body, not to mention that he naturally had other purposes for coming to see Lu Changfeng today.

"If you really want to be grateful, I suddenly remembered that I heard from the military advisor yesterday that the tens of thousands of soldiers newly transferred to me by my father are heading south and have not yet joined us, and now there is one less general in my camp who can fight well."

Just to help him command those soldiers, and if Lu Changfeng agrees to come down, he can recuperate for a few more days, and those soldiers and horses will take about a few months to get here.

Lu Changfeng's heart is like a mirror, Xiao Ce actually treats him well, not only does he not mention anything about the things in the prison tent at that time, regardless of his previous suspicions, he saved him in the drought in Chang'an when he was young, and he was saved in Jinling City yesterday, and now Lu Changfeng has no better place to go than him.

"I will remember this kindness of His Royal Highness, and even if it is death in the future."

Xiao Ce always felt a little unlucky when he heard him say this, and shook his head: "Don't say such things, although I don't believe in ghosts and gods, but it's better for you to talk less about this, and when you recover from your injuries, I will take you to see Ning Yu and Cheng An, General Cheng always wanted to fight with you on the battlefield before this departure, and then heard about what happened here, and was the first to clamore for revenge, those generals under me, when your injuries are almost healed, it is inevitable to deal with them, but don't worry, They are all very good people to get along with. ”

I have all heard Lu Changfeng's name, and most of them appreciate it, and the generals don't have so much thought among them, so they won't embarrass him.

At the end, Xiao Ce personally tucked the corner of the quilt for him: "It's not too early today, you rest early, heal the injuries on your body quickly, and Han Ning and I won't bother you." ”

Lu Changfeng glanced at Xiao Ce, followed by Li Hanning, who was standing aside, and nodded.

Just out of the camp, it can be seen that Xiao Ce is in a good mood today.

Li Hanning followed not far behind him and said, "Congratulations to His Royal Highness for getting another good general." ”

In the past, Li Hanning had heard of Lu Changfeng and General Lu's prestige several times from different people, and those who were afraid of Qi An in the past may not all respect him, most of them were afraid of Lu Changfeng under his command, but unfortunately Qi An was a little stubborn and self-serving, and took all the merits on himself, Lu Changfeng did not get much importance from him there, but Xiao Ce was different.

Xiao Ce did not deny it, and said frankly: "It is indeed a thing worth being happy about." ”

Moreover, Lu Changfeng also gave him a big gift, and he also knew about Jinling City.

Xiao Ce glanced at Li Hanning: "Speaking of which, the matter of saving Lu Changfeng back-"

Li Hanning immediately realized that blocking the news was what she was best at, Li Hanning looked at him and said:

"Your Highness rest assured, earlier they calculated the right time to set fire to the city, Cheng An and I suspected that there were spies of the imperial court in the military camp, this time to rescue Lu Changfeng, but those who know the news, I have already sent someone to follow secretly, several generals in the military camp have grown up with His Royal Highness since childhood, so you can naturally rest assured."

Only them, Li Hanning did not send anyone to follow, on the one hand, because Xiao Ce trusted them, on the other hand, because the generals' martial arts are not low, and now they are going out to fight, and their vigilance is naturally high, if they find that someone is following them, they must understand that Xiao Ce does not trust them, so it is not what Xiao Ce wants to see.

Xiao Ce said in a deep voice to Li Hanning: "Then wait for the other party to send a letter to Tianwei City." ”

The news that Lu Changfeng is alive is so important that it can turn the situation on the battlefield around, and the spies planted in their military camp will not sit idly by.

Night.

Everything around was silent, save for the sound of campfires and the footsteps of soldiers patrolling back and forth around them.

"Cheer up, Your Highness has personally ordered during the day, let's be careful in the past few days, but don't be lazy."

"Yes."

Where they didn't see it, a somewhat sneaky figure reflected in the firelight on the tent, and quietly ran outside another tent when no one was around.

He learned the bird's call, and attracted the white dove to land on the tree, and the white dove followed his voice and landed on his arm, only to see that he took out a small white bamboo tube from his hand, tied it to the white pigeon, and was about to let it go, the white dove fluttered twice and did not leave the place half a man high, and was shot down by a clean arrow.

When the man saw the white dove in the middle, he fell straight to the ground, and immediately said that it was not good.

However, his reaction was still a step slower, and he was pressed to the ground by the soldiers who were ambushing him.

Li Hanning put away the bow and arrows, and there were already soldiers on the side who handed her the letter tied to the white dove, Li Hanning glanced at the soldiers who were pressed on the ground, and the soldiers around him were just one step faster, otherwise he would have committed suicide by taking poison.

It's a pity that his loyalty is still a step too late.

Li Hanning took the bow and arrow in his hand and turned around: "Take him to see His Highness." ”

Everyone came to Xiao Ce's camp, Xiao Ce slept late tonight, just to wait for this good show, everyone was awake during the day, and there were people around, so it was naturally not good to spread the news during the interval, but the night was different, except for a small number of soldiers who arranged patrols, everyone else was sleeping peacefully, and it was the best time to pass on the news.

After two days of waiting for him, I finally waited for him.

The man was sent to Xiao Ce with five flowers, kneeling on the ground but refusing to say anything.

"I have nothing to say, Your Highness should kill me."

Li Hanning raised her eyes slightly, she had seen too many such people before, but there were ways to make such people speak, death was the easiest, if he really had backbone, he would have bitten his tongue and committed suicide now, now it looks like a little backbone but not much.

Xiao Ce sat on the main seat and quietly glanced at Zhong Sun Ci on the side, he had been a general under Xiao Ce for a long time, and his qualifications were even above Cheng An.

"General Zhong, if I'm not mistaken, this is someone from your barracks, right?"

Zhong Sun Ci immediately stood up and knelt down:

"Your Highness has clearly investigated, I don't know this spy, but he is indeed a person in my military camp, and it is true that my majesty is not strict."

The other generals understood that he had nothing to do with this matter, Xiao Ce had no intention of punishing him, and it was impossible for the tens of thousands of soldiers in the barracks to investigate them one by one.

Xiao Ce then said: "Of course I know that this matter is not about the general, I just want to ask him about the situation." ”

Zhong Sun Ci knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head, although this matter really had nothing to do with him, he had a clear conscience, but this person was indeed a person in his military camp, and it was not glorious for such a thing to happen: "The people in my military camp are all originally born in Luoyang or around Luoyang, this person is named Yuan Xing, and the same is true, he has been in the Luoyang military camp for three years, but there is no old or young in the family." ”

So this person is alone and unconcerned, ordinary soldiers always have to take care of their families when they go out to serve in the military,

Li Hanning glanced at the spy and said quietly:

"It's only a day away from Tianwei City here, if his news can't be spread, it will be useless for Mo Yunxi, it's best to ask for more news, and if you can't ask it, you can kill it on the spot."

That's true.

Xiao Ce waved his hand and said, "General Zhong should get up and speak first." ”

As for the spy—

Xiao Ce looked at the generals in the camp tent, naturally people can't be handed over to Zhong Sun Ci for interrogation, and several other generals are close to him, if this matter is handed over to them for trial, no matter what can be born, it is really embarrassing in terms of reason.

Li Hanning naturally knows this, but her identity is different, and she is the most convenient person to check this matter.

"Your Highness, leave the interrogation of him to me."

Interrogating her is also good at it.

Xiao Ce nodded quietly.

The people asked Li Hanning to take him to the camp tent next door, and he had already tied a rope the thickness of his fist to the stake.

Yuan Xing sneered at Li Hanning, who was looking at him in front of him: "The general should kill me, don't waste your efforts, I won't say anything." ”

For generals like them, who are high up and pampered, Yuan Xing has always been disdainful in his heart.

Li Hanning walked around the person on the stake around him, and there were all kinds of torture instruments used to scare people on the table around him, but she didn't look at these very much, and her words were said to Yuan Xing on the side:

"I quite appreciate your loyalty and courage, but I just heard General Zhongsun Ci say that although you have only been in the barracks for a year, but when you first came, you brought a bag of clothes and shoes, those straw sandals are all made up by people, and you will only be so attentive, naturally your own relatives, your relatives are not in Luoyang, and you are doing things for the imperial court, so if I guessed correctly, your relatives are on the side of Moyunxi, right?"

A hint of hesitation suddenly flashed in Yuan Xing's eyes.

She guessed.

But so what, if he didn't die, the people of the Mo family would not let them go, so he couldn't say anything, not even the brothers in the military camp who had been born and died with them these days.

"The year you entered Luoyang County, the year the soldiers and horses of the imperial court attacked Luoyang City, I believe you also sent a letter, right? Among the soldiers who ate and lived with you was a man named Fang Yu, his name was not on the military books, he volunteered to join the army, and he just wanted to follow Xiao Ce with enthusiasm. ”

When Yuan Xing heard this name, it was like evoking the deepest memories and apologies in his heart, his heart was shocked, his eyes were full of unbearable color, and he lowered his head.

Li Hanning knew that he must have felt guilty about this person.

"He admires His Royal Highness Xiao Ce like that, but it's a pity that the time he entered the barracks is too short, and he has already ushered in the war, he has never seen Xiao Ce, if I remember correctly, his death is a hidden arrow for you, you should thank him, without him, you wouldn't be alive today, but if I hadn't mentioned him today, you must have forgotten about him, right?"

These words were like a cold arrow, more uncomfortable than making him cut with a thousand knives, he spent a long time forgetting those things, forgetting the muffled snort that pressed on him, when he pushed his friend away, his back was covered with blood, it was the first time they went to battle, his friend who was afraid of pain when he met trivial things, and he protected him desperately.

But what Li Hanning said was not wrong, such an important person, if she hadn't mentioned it today, Yuan Xing had indeed not thought of him for a long time.
