Chapter 31 Accepting the Messenger Mission
Xiao Ling'er picked two generals in a row, and his courage was abnormal, Zhang Xian praised him and promoted him to the left general of the former army to participate in tomorrow's siege battle.
The city will be attacked tomorrow, and the whole army is ready to attack the city, just waiting for Zhang Xian's order.
Xiao Ling'er came to the stable, took a handful of grass for the Moon Thunder Horse, stroked its head and said, "Moon Thunder Horse, why do you want to fight, but in fact, I want to fight, I don't want to do it at all." ”
The Moon Thunder Horse snorted and let Xiao Ling'er caress it.
"We call it self-defense. A voice came from behind him.
"Bingru. Xiao Ling'er turned around.
Qu Bingruzheng walked over slowly, and said as he walked: "The Jin people have already hit the doorstep, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty are being ravaged by the Jin people, how can we stand idly by." ”
Xiao Ling'er turned around and ran forward, grabbed Qu Bingru's hand and said, "How do you know I'm here?" ”
Qu Bingru threw his hand: "Hmph, whether you have been promoted to a general, even I don't want to look at it." ”
"No, no, no. Xiao Ling'er smiled, "You see that General Zhang is going to attack the city tomorrow, and I just finished talking to General Li and Xiahou." ”
"What did you just say to Moon Thunder Horse, don't you want to fight?" Qu Bingru looked at Xiao Ling'er.
Xiao Ling'er pulled Qu Bingru to sit next to the stable, looked at her and said, "Bingru, since we followed General Wang Shun to today, we have seen so many killings, in fact, I am very reluctant to go to the battlefield in my heart, and I have never thought of becoming a general." Xiao Ling'er looked at the sky, there was no trace of clouds in the gray sky, but there was a kind of depression, a kind of depression before the war, "I wandered the world with the old beggar, although I was a beggar, I was happy and comfortable, and there was no such trouble." ”
Qu Bingru looked at Xiao Ling'er: "What troubles? Qu Bingru pointed to the soldiers sitting on the ground at the door of the barracks, and the soldiers who were carrying siege equipment, "Look at them, who wants to fight? When the knives of the golden soldiers have been cut on your head, are you willing to wait to be cut?"
Xiao Ling'er shook her head: "Of course I don't want to." ”
"That's it, we Song people are born well, but the Jin people want to invade our territory and kill our relatives, this is a national enemy and family hatred, and we, as the people of the Great Song Dynasty, should not stand idly by. Qu Bingru looked ahead blankly, "You can't understand the feeling of your own relatives being killed by Jin Ren. ”
Thinking of the scene on Treasure Island, Xiao Ling'er's heart tightened again, although he didn't know what his parents died for, but the old beggar said to him, "Tell me when you want to take revenge." Now that I think about it, it seems that there is some deep meaning in this sentence.
Qu Bingru said: "I brought you into the barracks, if you don't want to stay, you can leave, but I won't leave, I also want to avenge my father, but ...... Unless you drive the golden people out first. “
After the life in the military camp, Xiao Ling'er is no longer the little beggar who can only take other people's wallets, and her mind has matured a lot, but after listening to Qu Bingru's words, Xiao Ling'er feels ashamed, a little girl, her father was killed, and she has no relatives here, and she still understands the righteousness so well. She can do this, but what about herself?"
"Bingru, I didn't mean to leave the barracks, I just felt that I was a little uncomfortable to become a general. Xiao Ling'er said with a resolute face, "You are right, no one wants to go to the battlefield, but now that the mountains and rivers are broken, only by driving the Jin people out, can there be a peaceful life, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment." When the war is gone, let's find a quiet place to live, so that you don't have to wear men's clothes. ”
"What do you say? Why can't you wear men's clothes? Is it because you don't look good?"
"No, no, I mean you look better in women's clothes. Looking at Qu Bingru's somewhat disgusted expression, Xiao Cha Ling'er hurriedly changed her words.
Qu Bingru snorted: "Duplicity." “
Xiao Ling took Qu Bingru's hand and asked: "Actually, I have a question in my heart, why do the rivers and lakes say that your father's martial arts competition is false, and the annexation of the rivers and lakes is true, it is your father who wants to be the leader of the martial arts alliance, so he will hold the Treasure Island martial arts competition every year and invite martial arts people from all over the world to come, and I heard that the sects or martial arts people who refuse to come will disappear for no reason." “
After listening to Xiao Ling'er's words, Qu Bingru stood up: "Let me tell you, my father was originally a businessman and a swordsman, and then in the process of wandering the rivers and lakes, I met a woman, that is, my mother, my father likes her very much, but my mother said that he doesn't like businessmen, he only likes to be responsible, The heroic hero is sweaty, so my father gave up the role of a businessman for my mother, visited the world's famous teachers to learn art, and finally met a master outside the game, taught my father the two yi swordsmanship of the martial arts, see that my father is a kind-hearted person, and gave my father several martial arts secrets, all over my father returned to the Central Plains within a few years, my mother gave birth to me and died, my father was in great pain, he and my mother first met to build this treasure island, and respect my mother's wish to generously help the poor. In order to remember my mother, my father's room was full of portraits of my mother, and he had to stay alone in the room for several hours every day. My father never went out of Treasure Island one step, big and small things are all handled by the four elders of gold, silver, bronze and iron, my father practiced martial arts every day, and then he realized that he had created a lot of martial arts secrets, so he held a martial arts competition every year, and awarded the martial arts secrets he created to the person who won the first place free of charge. “
After listening to Qu Bingru's brief introduction, Xiao Ling'er roughly knew the story of her father, but she still didn't understand why Qu Dao mainly gave the martial arts secrets he had worked so hard to create to others for free, so he asked again: "Why does the master of Qu Island do this?
"I don't know about this, my father seems to have started his martial arts secrets as a reward after the 'Jingkang Difficulty'. And made friends with many anti-gold generals, like Wang Shun, Li He and others are good friends of my father. ”
Although Qu Bingru didn't talk carefully, Xiao Ling'er probably knew what Qu Bingru's father did, and the master of Qu Island should be a person in a narrow sense, but he was framed. Xiao Ling'er said to herself in her heart, she must find out why the master of Qu Island committed suicide, there must be some reason behind this scene, and she must help Qu Bingru find the man in black who appeared at the scene of the martial arts competition and find out what happened, but seeing that the man in black has such a high martial arts, who will it be?
"Bing'er, don't worry, when the Jin people are driven away, I will work with you to find out who the man in black who killed your father is, and why did you frame your father.
Qu Bingru leaned on Xiao Ling'er's shoulder: "I believe that Brother Xiao will definitely find out the person who framed my father and return my father's innocence." “
"Brother Xiao. Xiao Ling'er thought of Xia Shuang's figure again, she was captured by the man in black, it has been so long, I don't know if her father knows, I really hope she is safe.
"Ahem. A voice came.
Xiao Ling'er and Qu Bingru hurriedly separated.
Li He walked over from the side: "I didn't see it, you continue to talk." ”
Xiao Ling'er's face was hot: "General Li, I ........."
Li He smiled and said: "What am I, I'm a good friend of Bing'er's father, don't I know that Bing'er is a woman disguised as a man in the military camp?"
"Uncle Li, you. Qu Bingru's face was hot.
Li He laughed: "I just had something to look for Brother Xiao, and I didn't see anyone in the tent, so I turned to the back, I didn't expect you to be here." ”
"What is the matter with General Li looking for me? Xiao Ling'er hurriedly changed the topic.
"Don't General Li, Bing'er calls me uncle, you can call me too. Li He looked at Xiao Ling'er a little embarrassed, "Or call me Brother Li, it's okay, it's just cheap for you." Li He laughed.
"Okay, in the future, I will call General Li in the camp, and I will call you Brother Li in private. “
Li He stepped forward and hugged Xiao Ling'er, laughed and said, "Okay, Brother Xiao, haha, I have a good brother, very good, very good." ”
"I don't know what Brother Li is looking for me?" Xiao Ling'er asked.
Li He looked at Xuzhou City in the distance and said: "General Zhang is going to attack the city tomorrow, it must be a vicious battle, you have been promoted to General Zuo, in addition to your bravery, it is also General Zhang's appreciation of you, it stands to reason that you must participate, but General Zhang received information that there is a righteous army in Luoyang to fight the golden soldiers, the leader is General Zhang's original pioneer Xia Yuanfeng, General Zhang wants to bring a piece of information to Xia Yuanfeng, hoping that they will continue to contain the Jin soldiers, so that the Yuejia army can encircle and annihilate the main force of the Jin soldiers. Reliable people went, so I recommended Brother Xiao, and General Zhang had a good impression of you, so he agreed immediately. “
Xiao Ling'er said: "But this ......"
Qu Bingru interrupted Xiao Ling'er's words: "Okay, can I go with me too?"
Li He smiled and said: "You ghost girl, I knew you would think like this, of course you can, you were originally a daughter, and it was inconvenient in the barracks, so you should go with Xiao Ling'er to send information." “
Qu Bingru happily pulled Xiao Ling'er and said, "Don't thank Uncle Li yet, tomorrow is a fierce battle, Uncle Li, this is for your good." “
Xiao Linger suddenly realized and hurriedly thanked Li He.
"Don't forget, it's also a task for you to send information, and it must be delivered within three days. After Li He finished speaking, he took out a bamboo tube: "You can get up, and after completing the task, you can postpone returning to the camp." “
Qu Bingru took the information, pulled Xiao Ling'er and shouted as she ran: "Uncle Li, please rest assured, we will definitely complete the task." ”
Looking at the figures of Xiao Ling'er and Qu Bingru, Li He sighed softly: "The lord of Qu Island died unjustly, if it weren't for the gold thief who committed my Great Song Dynasty, I, Li He, would have sought justice for the lord of Qu Island, and now I can only defend the territory first, and then deal with private affairs, I just hope that these two children will be well." ”
"Big brother, I don't think this Xiao Ling'er is like an ordinary child, and she will definitely do something in the future. Xu Shiguang's voice came from behind him.
Li He nodded, "This kid is brave enough to fight on the battlefield, and hopes to become a wise person." ”
"Big brother, you said that the Lord of Qu Island gave you a letter before this martial arts competition, what kind of letter is it?"
Li He glanced at Xu Shiguang and said: "I can't say this matter yet, when the time is ripe, I will take it out, I don't only know this letter, but also several people in the martial arts." “
Xu Shiguang couldn't wait to say, "Who are they?"
"The city will be attacked tomorrow, so let's go back to camp first. After Li He finished speaking, he turned around and left.
