Chapter 5 The blood of the loyal in front of the tent is still hot, and the sword shadow on the long street is slightly cool at night
Hearing this earth-shattering change, the general's face turned pale instantly, and he sat down on the Taishi's chair, muttering to himself: "How is this possible?
After all, Xinchen has been practicing under Zhu Lao for a long time, and his concentration is very comparable, although he is also shocked, he can still hold himself. Seeing that the general was out of shape, he was afraid that the overall situation would be in danger, so he called softly: "General, general." The general heard this call and gradually came back to his senses.
The messenger had already alarmed the doorman, and in a few moments, a group of guards had arrived in front of the hall. At this time, the general had regained his composure and ordered: "Divine Tiger Guard commander Li Fu, quickly convene all the generals to discuss the matter. ”
"The last general leads the order!" I saw a capable general come out of the crowd and lead the order to go quickly.
"Miao'er, if my father wants to go to the army to discuss matters, the messenger will be handed over to you to heal. As soon as you wake up, immediately send someone to the barracks to report. Then the general turned to the maiden and explained.
"Okay, Daddy. The girl replied.
Xinchen noticed that Li Miao had come over from the guqin and squatted to treat the messenger's injuries. The General's Mansion is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the seemingly weak general's daughter is actually a person in the medical Tao.
After the arrangements were made here, the general turned to Xinchen and said, "Childe, what you said can only be discussed later." If you don't give up, how many days can you stay in the house?"
"No need. At the time of the national crisis, Xiaosheng is willing to do his best for the general. Xinchen turned down the covenant to live and instead expressed his willingness to serve in the army.
"Well, then come with me. The general answered, and the group went to the barracks.
Entering the camp of the Zhenxi Army, the generals were already standing in front of the Chinese army tent. The general stepped forward, stood firm in front of the generals, and said: "Just now, the messenger came to report that 10,000 demon soldiers secretly entered the pass from nowhere, and they have been killed under the imperial capital, can the generals have a good plan?"
The crowd came urgently, and they didn't say anything, Ben had some complaints, and there were not a few whisperers in the army. However, when he heard what the general said, he was instantly silent.
Looking at Mu Ran's generals, the general suddenly raised his voice and said, "Who among the generals is willing to lead the troops to aid the imperial capital?
The response was still silent. All the generals know that the demon soldiers are fierce, and they have to face a field battle with the demon soldiers when they rush to the aid of the imperial capital, and the danger can be imagined. Although the meritorious deeds are good, they must also have their lives to be accepted, because at this time, all the generals do not want to be in the limelight, and they are eager to give this great opportunity to make meritorious contributions to others.
The general looked around, and all the generals hung their heads to dodge. Xinchen secretly thought to the side: "Our clan's dignified Zhenxi army, when this national crisis, there is no brave general, it is really sad and lamentable!" Just thinking like this, I suddenly heard a general respond loudly: "The last general is willing to go!"
Xinchen came back to his senses and followed the prestige, but saw that this person was Li Fu, the commander of the Divine Tiger Guard, worthy of being the commander of the general guard, and stepped forward at the critical moment!
The general nodded with satisfaction and said, "Li Fu listened to the order, took Er as the vanguard, led five thousand elite cavalry, set off immediately, and hurried to the outskirts of the imperial capital to attack and harass the enemy army!"
Li Fugong received the order, retreated from the tent, and went to the camp to order troops. When the generals saw that the heavy responsibility of rushing to the aid of the imperial capital had fallen to others, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the messenger woke up from outside the battalion, and the general said: "The rest of the men, wait for the battalion on the hour, and the messenger will return to the house to learn more about the details before making a decision." ”
The generals were ordered to disperse, and only the general and Xinchen were left in front of the tent. The general turned to Xinchen and asked, "Gongzi has lived in the depths of the Bamboo Sea for a long time, can you know that Cangshan has a secret passage to connect to the Western Regions besides Hangu?"
"I haven't heard of it. Xinchen replied.
"Childe, you are a cultivator, do you know if there are powerful people who can open up secret passages for use?" the general asked again.
Hearing this, Xinchen thought of the matter of Zhu Lao, although Cangshan is a natural danger, but the characters in that realm are unknown. For a while, I was distracted.
Seeing that Xinchen was stunned, the general waited for a moment and said, "What did Childe think?"
Xinchen secretly thought that this matter involved the secret of his own life experience, and it was not enough for outsiders, so he replied: "When it comes to cultivation, Xiaosheng is not deeply involved. The world is so big, or there are unknowable and powerful people like us. ”
Seeing that Xinchen's answer was ambiguous, the general was inconvenient to ask, so he said, "Would you like to go back to the house with me and ask the messenger for details?"
Xinchen also had this intention, originally felt that it seemed inappropriate to enter the house again and again in a day to disturb, but he never thought that the general was so understanding, and actually took the initiative to invite him, so he replied: "This is very good, then I have to disturb the general again." ”
After this toss, it was noon when I entered the house again. The two of them remembered the military situation, but they were not in the mood to eat, and went straight to the messenger's room.
When the general entered, the messenger tried to get up and salute, but he was weakened by his wounds. The general waved his hand and said, "You are injured, you don't need to be polite, and tell me what the situation is on the Dijing side?"
The messenger replied, "Three days ago, suddenly 10,000 demon soldiers surrounded the imperial capital without warning. Recently, the army has been transferred to Hangu, and there are only 5,000 guards left in Beijing, and it is very difficult to defend it. The small one desperately broke through under the guidance of a team of guards, and then rushed to report the news. ”
"And do you know how the demon soldiers appeared?" the general asked again.
"Listening to the words of the soldiers guarding the city, the demon soldiers seemed to appear out of thin air, and none of the outposts in the suburbs of the imperial capital had issued any warnings before. The messenger replied.
After asking the messenger in detail, but no other useful information was obtained, the general and Xinchen had dinner in the mansion and then discussed countermeasures. In the starry night, Xinchen left the general's mansion and went to the inn to rest, so that he could go on the expedition with the general tomorrow morning.
It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the long street was lonely. Xinchen walked alone, and a series of questions echoed in his mind: "How did the demon soldiers appear out of thin air? Why did the general only order 5,000 elite cavalry as the vanguard? Can the emperor hold out until the reinforcements arrive? Why do you have to wait until tomorrow morning before the army starts? Maybe... Maybe the general is deliberately delaying at all, waiting until the city is broken and the emperor is dead, and then he will end up, when the army is in hand, who would dare to hold him accountable for not observing!"
On the day of the weak crown, the remnant soul of Pangu in Xinchen's body had awakened, and although he didn't know it, his spiritual sense was far better than that of ordinary people. Suddenly, Xinchen felt a chill in his back, as if he had reached a life-and-death point. With instinct, his body instantly turned to the side, and he saw a cold long sword passing close to his body. If it had been a second too late, the sword would have already pierced through the heart. As soon as he turned around, Xinchen exerted force under his feet and jumped away.
Seeing that the man failed to succeed in the killing blow, he did not love to fight, and took advantage of the situation to leap forward, and several ups and downs were gone, leaving only a faint fragrance in the field.
