In the city of Luoyang, the official prime minister's mansion ......

"Father-in-law...... Father-" Lu Ling hurriedly ran back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, thinking that because of Timur's strange trip, the soldiers of the whole city disappeared, the military power had been seized, and his father-in-law would be "in danger", Lu Ling rushed to Lu Guogong's bedroom with a panicked face, and shouted loudly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But it was too late, and his father-in-law was indeed lying on the bed, but he had no breath - Lu Guogong had returned to the sky......

"Father-in-law——" Seeing his father-in-law's eyes closed, his face was pale and lifeless, Lu Ling was very emotional.

And beside Lu Guogong's bedside, the accompanying housekeeper and his subordinates bowed their heads in loneliness - the meaning is very clear, Lu Guogong has passed away......

"Childe, I'm sorry, you came one step late, Lord Lu has already ...... I went to ......" The butler looked depressed and sad to the extreme.

"Why, why did my father-in-law ......" Hearing that her father-in-law died, Lu Ling's emotions had already collapsed, her eyes widened and she looked at Lu Guogong's pale face, she was stunned, and slowly knelt down on her knees.

"Lord Lu's condition deteriorated last night, and he can't hold on to the world...... housekeeper continued to say in a low voice, "Childe, let's mourn and change...... Before Lord Lu died, his will entrusted everything of the Lu family to you......"

"It's not true...... This is not true......" Lu Ling's eyes were wet and red, and he was desperate, but remembering the abnormal change in the military situation last night, Lu Ling suddenly became angry, and asked instead, "By the way, what about Timur...... When Timur returned to the city last night, did he come to his father-in-law's room?"

He ...... Indeed...... "The butler said with trepidation, recalling the events of the previous night," but he seemed to only say, 'Seized the power of the army'...... And then it was gone...... When Lord Lu heard this, his condition was ...... ...... of worsening condition"

"Sure enough...... Lu Ling seemed to understand something, his sad eyes turned angry, his hands clenched his fists, and he said indignantly, "Last night, Timur returned to the city, pretending to meet with our two armies, but in fact, he ran back to the city alone, took advantage of my absence, usurped the military power, and then took the main force of the defenders and left Luoyang, leaving an empty city alone...... He lied to me, I actually fell in love with his way - last night's ambush plan, he volunteered to lead the troops to lead the vanguard to lure, and thought it was to cater to me, but it turned out to be for me to relax my vigilance, and take advantage of the moment when the two armies were ambushed, and I went back to the city to 'seize military power', and I still went to fight with Zhu Yuanzhang's troops like a fool...... Takarim had been calculating me from the beginning, and his mind was not at all above the enemy, and I still believed in him...... Hehe, I actually believe him—I would actually believe in his brute !!" "Self-deprecation", Lu Ling suddenly shouted loudly.

The servants around were all frightened and didn't dare to look up at Lu Ling.

Lu Ling didn't care, his eyes were dead, and he slowly stood up and said, "It's Deqi Timur...... In order to win the military power, he did not hesitate to calculate his father-in-law, calculated me, and finally killed his father-in-law...... Yes, it was all his fault that Timur killed his father-in-law, and if it weren't for him, how could the situation have come to this point——?

Lu Guogong, as Lu Ling's father-in-law, is Lu Ling's only relative in this world - when he was young, Lu Guogong rescued himself in the ruins of the war and raised him as an adult...... Now that his only relative is dead, Lu Ling is alone and "in the world"; because Timur killed his father-in-law, Lu Ling regards Timur as a lifelong enemy - the enemy does not die, and it will be difficult to die in this life......

"Childe ......" The housekeeper was silent for a long time, watching Lu Ling's mood ease slightly, and then slowly spoke, "Lord Lu said before he died...... Let Childe give up your resistance and stay away from the war...... Lord Lu said, I don't want you, the only 'son', to suffer because of the war again......"

"Father-in-law......" Lu Ling looked at his father-in-law's body and said in a low tone, "When I was seven years old, it was your father-in-law who rescued me from the ruins, gave me my surname and name, and recognized me as my son-in-law, who was filial and obedient in every way throughout his life, and his kindness could not be repaid...... But only this matter, Yizi can't agree - Deyin Timur killed you, and he is the enemy of Yizi, at least until he kills Deyin Timur, Yizi will not let go of his status as a soldier, even if he braves the flames of war, it is incumbent!"

The last sentence is very firm, it seems that Lu Ling has made up her mind - if she does not avenge her father-in-law, she will never end her life......

At noon, the vanguard barracks ......

The siege battle was urgent, and before he could recuperate from last night's battle, Lu Jing once again ordered to raise the whole battalion of troops to cross Luoshui and send troops to Luoyang Pass. In this expedition, in addition to Qin Yu, who was injured and on standby, and Murong Ying, who took care of him, all the officers and men in the battalion were dispatched - to deal with Lu Ling, Lu Jing was determined not to be careless, and the battle of Luoyang was regarded as the most important and difficult opponent......

The battle failed to go out, and Murong Ying stayed in the camp, taking care of the aftermath of the army on the one hand, and taking care of the injuries of Qin Yu and the war horse on the other. In the battle of "Arrows" last night, Qin Yu's war horse "Silver Jade Qilin" was accidentally injured, and Murong Ying was recuperating carefully in the back camp stable.

"Qilin" was injured in the thigh, Murong Ying treated the wound with medicine, and said softly: "Good, don't move, just endure it a little longer......" Murong Ying's tone was very soft, as if taking care of his own child.

"Qilin" is the same, as early as Yizhou, he trusted Murong Ying, in addition to Qin Yu, Murong Ying is the second master he agrees with......

"Hey, what about Sister Jing, you won't lead the troops out so soon—" Qin Yu suddenly ran out of the camp tent and asked anxiously.

"That's right, I just left not long ago......" Murong Ying applied medicine to the "Qilin" and said with concern, "Brother Qin, your injuries haven't healed yet, it's better to rest more...... Sister Lu has already explained, Luoyang will not let you go on the expedition for the time being, I have to watch you-"

"Oh, isn't it just a small wound in the flesh, what's the big deal......" Qin Yu shook the wrist of the arrow last night, unwillingly, "What does Sister Jing mean? Luoyang raised the whole battalion in the first battle, with the intention of attacking the city, but he didn't take me out on the expedition...... I'm a vanguard in the army, and if I don't take the lead, who can do it?"

"Oh, you just stop and stop......" After Murong Ying became his wife, she had a little more nagging tone, and continued to rush at Qin Yu, "This time I am going to attack the city, not fighting at Luoshui Pass, and I don't need cavalry to be the vanguard...... Besides, you're so anxious to go to the battlefield, don't you just want to make a break with that Lu Ling?"

"Isn't it?" Qin Yu said without hesitation, "In the battle last night, I didn't distinguish between him and I, and I have to fight with him again if I say anything today!"

"You're really going to fight with Lu Ling-" Murong Ying retorted, it seemed that the question just now was to show Qin Yu's "truth", Murong Ying tempered and stopped, "No, Sister Lu personally emphasized that the reason why she didn't let you go was because she was worried that you would go and fight with Lu Ling! Since you are telling the truth now, then I have to watch you more closely and save you from running out secretly...... Now that the Kirin is wounded, and I've put away your Silver Spear and Sunset Bow, don't risk being wounded—"

"Why?" Qin Yu still said unwillingly, "I fought with Lu Lingmi for several rounds last night, and although I didn't know the winner or loser, I also knew how much of the opponent were...... It stands to reason that I should be the most reasonable to go to the front—"

"If you can't say no, you can't!" Murong Ying's tone was very "tough", and in front of her husband, she didn't back down, "Sister Lu also said that Lu Ling is our biggest opponent today, this person is well versed in the art of war, and he is brave and strategic...... Brother Qin, you fought fiercely with Lu Ling yesterday and suffered an arrow wound, and you will be dissatisfied in your heart, and if you insist on breaking off with Lu Ling, with Lu Ling's scheming, you will definitely take this opportunity to calculate us...... Sister Lu, just in case, so she 'pressed' you in the barracks and did not have a war mission, so you can save some worry and take care of your injuries......"

"In this way, Sister Jing doesn't trust me......" Qin Yu said with some disappointment.

"You can't say that, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, special circumstances must be treated specially...... Murong Ying replied casually, "Have you forgotten......?"

"But the battle ahead started, we had nothing to rest in the camp, and my dignified 'Divine Power General' was so 'wretched', I can't say anything......" Qin Yu was still unhappy in his heart, and couldn't help but "vent his anger" and said, "At least we have to leave us some tasks...... Even if you don't let me compete with Lu Ling head-on, you have to arrange something for me......"

"Who said no?" Murong Ying turned to say, "Before Sister Lu left, she left a task for the two of us......"

"Really, what kind of task-" As soon as he heard that there was a task, Qin Yu asked again with enthusiasm.

"No, that's the military grain and grass sent by General Chang—" Murong Ying flicked a sentence, turned her head and pointed to the grain and grass convoy at the door and said, "Sister Lu said that when they successfully take Luoyang, we will lead the team to be responsible for transporting these grains and grass to Luoyang City......"

"It's been a long time to transport grain, it's really disappointing...... "After Qin Yu knew the truth, his heart fell to a low point again, "I thought that I could fight with Lu Ling a few more times, but now it seems that ...... Hey......"

"Brother Qin, what about you, just stay in the camp obediently to recuperate, don't go anywhere......" Murong Ying smiled slightly, "We will patiently wait here for the news of the war ahead, and wait for the capital to be taken, and then escort the grain and grass as planned......"

"Yes...... It's ......" Listening to Murong Ying's "nagging" tone, Qin Yu turned around and returned to the camp, and said secretly in his heart, "Hey, Brother Xiao is right, once a woman has been by her side for a long time, she will gradually become verbose with you......"

Obviously, what Xiao Tian said to Qin Yu came completely from Su Jia's "normality......

In the city of Luoyang, in the prime minister's house......

Lu Ling ordered Lu Guogong's body to be buried in the coffin, and he and the remaining soldiers who swore to follow him silently mourned in front of the coffin. He made up his mind to be inseparable from Timur, and as long as he was alive, he would never let go of his military power. Even if he is in a war-torn and troubled world, with internal and external troubles and desperate situations, Lu Ling will inherit the legacy of the Lu family, unify the army, and vow to fight fate to the end......

"My life was saved by you, my father-in-law, in this life, I will only be loyal to the Lu family, even if I fight for my own life......" Lu Ling stood in front of the coffin and swore silently, "Father-in-law, rest assured, in this life, as long as I am alive, I will definitely avenge you and break Timur's body into pieces!"

After speaking, Lu Ling bowed deeply in front of the coffin......

The housekeeper on the side saw it in his eyes, dressed in mourning clothes, and couldn't help but ask sadly: "Childe, do you really plan to continue to lead troops and garrison Luoyang?" Now that Zhu Yuanzhang's 50,000 army is approaching, many of the soldiers and horses in the city have been transferred away by Timur...... You want to ...... such a little person How to defend?"

"You don't need to worry about this, as long as there are soldiers and horses, there is a way to garrison the city-" Lu Ling secretly made up his mind, "Even if the sky falls, as long as I Lu Ling is here, I will definitely fight the enemy to the end!"

Although the oath is not very "realistic", after listening to Lu Ling's unyielding words, all the soldiers of the army made up their minds that they were willing to live and die with Lu Ling, defend the city and fight against the enemy until the last moment......

"How many soldiers and horses do we still have?" Speaking of the war, Lu Ling thought about it, turned back to his trusted generals and asked.

"General Lu, there are still about two thousand with the army—" the general replied simply.

"Our army is only two thousand, and the enemy army is tens of thousands, and the ......number of people is indeed very different," Lu Ling said in a low voice, but his expression was very calm, and he said unhurriedly, "However, military law and military use are ever-changing, even if the troops are extremely inferior, there will definitely be a way to defend the city against the enemy......" Saying that, Lu Ling continued to think about a good way to break the enemy in a desperate situation......

"Report-" While Lu Ling was thinking, at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, an urgent report suddenly came.

The report was unusually hurried, and it seemed that the enemy situation ahead had changed abruptly, and all the soldiers and soldiers of the army were stunned, knowing in their hearts that an unprecedented "vicious battle" was waiting for them......

"What's the situation......" Lu Ling looked calm and asked in a low voice.

"General Qiqi Lu-" The messenger soldier looked anxious, knelt down and reported, "The enemy army of 20,000 horses is coming in the direction of Luoyang, and now that it has passed the Luoshui Pass, I am afraid that in less than an hour, it will be greatly pressurized!"

"What? ...... so quickly" "This is too fast, didn't you just finish the battle last night......" "Could it be that the enemy also knew ......the news that Timur led his troops to 'escape'?" When the soldiers heard the "bad news", they all changed color in fear and began to talk about it.

"These guys are really not simple...... Lu Ling was immediately struck by the attack, and said in a fixed voice, "I just finished a battle last night, and I didn't do any rest, but I made a comeback the next day, and I crossed Luoshui and approached Chengguan directly...... They didn't know about Timur's escape, but they could accurately judge that the army was pressing, and the fighter was completely decisive, and it was really not an ordinary opponent......" Although he said this, Lu Ling did not show any nervousness, and seemed to have a plan in his heart to deal with it.

"General Lu, what should I do now?" The close general was anxious on the side and couldn't help asking.

Lu Ling calmed down, and then said, "Don't worry, I already have a way to deal with it in my heart...... You go and gather all the troops and horses in the city at once, and assemble them in half an hour, and the general will make the decision himself, and you only need to do as I tell you—"

"Okay General Lu, everyone listens to you—" The trusted general said righteously.

Lu Ling is not only calm, but also very confident - with 2,000 soldiers and horses and tens of thousands of troops, in a desperate situation, Lu Ling seems to be about to stage a "strategy of the gods" again...... (To be continued.) )
