Chapter 64: The Marshal Has a Woman Cold as Frost

On the territory of the Holy Capital, Pingning Pass, dusk.

The imperial army heading south had already captured this place, and the troops continued to advance, and this place became the camp of the imperial army, and Lan Tai, Wu Peng and others were stationed here. Since it is the place where the Supreme Commander is stationed, it is extremely heavily guarded.

On a watchtower near the big tent of the Chinese army, Wu Peng was standing on it with his hands behind his back and looking into the distance, and a beautiful girl covered in silver and white armor was beside him, it was cold as frost.

Looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance, Wu Peng showed a look of satisfaction on his face: "Very good." The Imperial Army's current strategy is faster than I expected, and it seems that it won't be long before we can move our camp to the foot of the Heavenly City. ”

Leng Ruoshuang nodded silently, and asked out loud after a while: "Father-in-law, there is something unknown about Shuang'er. In the past, we went north to fight the Flying Fox Iron Cavalry, and that was because they wanted to invade our empire, and we fought rightly. But now...... The Holy Capital doesn't seem to have invaded the Empire either, so why should we go south to attack them?"

Wu Peng smiled and said: "This is Your Majesty's holy will, we don't need to ask more questions as courtiers, we just follow the order." If anything, I guess, it was to avenge the war thirty years ago. Thirty years ago, in that war, the empire was defeated and lost, and even His Majesty the Emperor at that time almost fell here. The empire has always been ashamed of it, and now it is natural to take revenge on the aftermath of the victory over the flying fox. ”

Leng Ruoshuang said: "But the current emperor His Majesty is ......"

Wu Peng waved his hand and stopped Leng Ruoshuang's words: "Your Majesty is Your Majesty, as courtiers of the empire, we don't share worries for Your Majesty, but instead want to solve problems for the Demon Capital?"

Cold as frost: "...... Shuang'er just felt that such an invasion of other countries and the killing of countless soldiers and civilians really made me feel uneasy. Not to mention the soldiers of the Holy Capital who were killed on the battlefield, what are the sins of those ordinary people, who should be arrested and slaughtered, even the elderly and children?"

Wu Peng smiled and said: "The city gate caught fire, and the fish in the pond were affected. Wherever the war went, even my father-in-law, I couldn't completely control the safety of those people! Especially those wind falcons, throwing rocks from the sky and accidentally throwing them crookedly and blowing up those innocent people, there was no way to do it. ”

Leng Ruoshuang said: "Father-in-law, Shuang'er is not talking about this. What Frost said was that the soldiers captured the people of the Holy Capital and slaughtered them...... Is that an undisguised massacre? A soldier on the battlefield may have to be killed, but what is the crime of a civilian? Father-in-law, as a marshal, can't you stop this kind of thing?"

Wu Peng's face sank and said, "Shuang'er, is this what you saw with your own eyes?"

Leng Ruoshuang nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Then do you know that this is an order personally issued by His Majesty the Emperor, to kill every soldier and one soldier in the Light Demon Capital, one person and one dog?"

Leng Ruoshuang exclaimed: "...... Father-in-law, such a cruel order......"

Wu Peng said with a calm face: "Frost! First of all, don't say the word holy capital anymore. The magic capital is the magic capital, if you talk about the holy capital again, if you are heard by others, you will inevitably impeach me in front of Your Majesty. Secondly, don't say that His Majesty's decree is not his! If you are not careful, your father-in-law and you may end up being dismissed from your post and questioned! When you are in prison and cannot take a shower or change clothes for more than ten years, can you stand it?"

Cold as frost: "......"

Wu Peng seemed to feel that his tone was too heavy, and softened a little: "Shuang'er, father-in-law, this is for your good." In this battle, it's not a big deal if you don't want to go into battle to kill the enemy, but remember not to say too many things that shouldn't be said, and be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth!"

Leng Ruoshuang was silent, but the look in her eyes was obviously unconvinced.

Wu Peng sighed, reached out and patted her shoulder gently: "I'll go down and take a look at today's battle report and paperwork first." If you can't figure it out, think about it here! It's windy and cool, and it's perfect place to think about your mind. ”

Leng Ruoshuang bowed down and said, "Yes!"

Wu Peng nodded, with a kind look on his face: "Shuang'er, my father-in-law will ask you again by the way, Lin Yuannan seems to have a lot of admiration for you, and his father Liu Quan also mentioned to me that he wants to ask you for marriage." What do you think?"

Cold as frost: "...... Father-in-law, Shuang'er doesn't want anything yet!"

Wu Peng smiled: "Silly boy." When your daughter grows up, she always has to get married, if you don't marry someone, will you be an old lady for the rest of your life? My father-in-law has been helping you pay attention to the young talents in the imperial capital, Liu Quangui is General Zuo, and although his son Lin Yuannan is the illegitimate son of a concubine, His Majesty has already personally agreed to give him the same background as his grandson. This young man is good-looking, both civil and military, and he is very heroic in the Northern Expedition and the South, and has made great contributions to the empire, and His Majesty has personally praised him. Isn't such a young talent the right person?"

Leng Ruoshuang still shook her head: "Father-in-law, Shuang'er is still young, and she doesn't want to think about these yet." Please father-in-law don't easily agree to anything on behalf of Shuang'er!"

Wu Peng smiled and said, "Don't worry! Of course, this won't just make decisions for you." However, the news I have now received is that this Lin Yuannan will return to the camp from the front line tomorrow, report the battle situation, receive supplies, and rest for a few days. Frost, this is a good opportunity to get to know each other!"

Leng Ruoshuang's eyes showed a hint of disgust: "Shuang'er doesn't like him! On the battlefield, he is extremely cold-blooded and cruel, kills people without blinking, and is extremely angry, just like a cold-blooded butcher! Father-in-law, you are still busy with you, Shuang'er plans to be quiet first!"

Wu Peng sighed: "Little girl's family! The imperial capital is all legendary, and the marshal has a woman who is cold and frosty, it seems that it is really good!" he shook his head and went down the tower.

Leng Ruoshuang thought about the watchtower for a long time, until night completely fell and the lights in the camp were on, and then he slowly descended the tower and walked towards his camp.

As the marshal's daughter, she naturally has her own tent and a maid to accompany her. On weekdays, when she returned to the camp, the two maids would greet her and help her remove her armor and weapons.

On this day, only one maid came forward to greet him. Leng Ruoshuang felt a little strange in her heart, and while handing over the Heavenly Death Sword to her, she took off her armor and asked casually, "What about the Blue Sword, why are you the only one?"

The maid who looked like a bamboo sword smiled and said, "Miss, things are a little unfortunate, Lan Jian just happened to have a stomachache, and she went to the back!"

Leng Ruoshuang sighed, handed her the armor she had taken off, and said, "I'm not feeling well today, you can make tea later, and then make hot water, and I'm going to rest after washing." Rest early, too!"

The bamboo sword answered, holding the armor and the Heavenly Death Sword and walked to the shelf on the side, and hung it up lightly.

Leng Ruoshuang glanced at her casually, and suddenly noticed that something was wrong: "No, stop! You are not a bamboo sword, who are you?"
