Chapter 24: Atonement

On the way, Lin Ziming and Dai Qisi walked in front, and Xu Jing followed slowly behind, as if he had something to hide in his heart, and he couldn't let go of his happiness.

"You go first, I'll go see Xu Jing, he was so depressed along the way, it must have been something big during the period. Lin Ziming turned his head to look at Xu Jing, and then whispered to Dai Qisi.

"Hmm. Deitch nodded.

After Dai Qisi walked some distance, Xu Jing rode to Lin Ziming's side, and he looked at Lin Ziming in amazement: "Master Lin, I just have something to discuss with you." ”

This is a decision he made on the road, Lin Ziming has a life-saving grace for him, rather than burying this kind of thing in his heart, it is better to say it happily.

"I happen to have something to talk to you about. Lin Ziming remembered what Mrs. Hua Rui said to him when he came, be sure to find Xu Jing, now he is fine, but his state is very poor.

Xu Jing's expression smiled slightly, his smile was very pale and weak, and his thoughts suddenly returned to half a moon ago: "King Ruyang should not have died in battle, all this is for me to have such a result." ”

He took the cause of Temur's death on himself, and as the conversation box opened, Xu Jing seemed to be released a little easier, and continued to speak: "If I hadn't tried to escape and the prison army was not effective, how could the Tibetan army have broken through the defense of Bangda Ancient Town so much, and there would have been no later results. ”

"Things have passed, and self-blame is useless, besides, the imperial army under the leadership of the general Cheng Yanjin has broken through the ancient town of Qamdo, and not long ago it has joined forces with the Shuzhong army, preparing to counterattack back. Lin Ziming patted Xu Jing on the back, he was able to follow Meng Chang for many years, how could Xu Jing's knowledge be so bad, this time the ineffective supervision of the army was naturally responsible, but then again, Temur was unable to resist the attack of the Tubo army, and the scene was not difficult to predict.

"This time the imperial army turned out to be General Cheng, no wonder it moved quickly, but then again, I'm afraid I have no face in the army in Shuzhong. Xu Jing revealed his thoughts, and the whole person finally recovered: "Master Lin, I want to be a pioneer in the imperial army, I hope you don't tell my sister about this for the time being, otherwise she will be worried and uneasy." ”

"If you have such thoughts, how can I stop you. Lin Ziming smiled, and immediately rode his horse and whipped up, chasing in the direction of Dai Qisi, Xu Jing also galloped over, not falling behind.

"By the way, do you know which one of the Tubo commanders in this attack on Shu is?" Lin Ziming looked at Xu Jing and asked, you must know that Temur is also a person who has experienced a hundred battles, and when the Shuzhong army under his command faces the Tubo raid, even if it doesn't get much benefit, it will not be defeated so easily, and it will end up in defeat and misery.

"Originally, I didn't know, but when I was arrested later, I was quickly taken to the main tent of the Tibetan army, and they wanted to use me as a puppet after breaking Shuzhong. Xu Jing, as the person concerned, also experienced a series of things, recalling the encounter at that time: "Tubo Chisong Dezan sent the national teacher Yixide to personally sit in the ancient town of Qamdo, this time not only the Eastern Queen forces, but also united some masters of the Mongol Empire, and Yixide also tried to say that the Western Xia, the three forces jointly attacked Shuzhong, and the temple divided the territory of Shuzhong into three. ”

"It's really a good calculation. Lin Ziming shook his head, no wonder Yixide would appear in the realm of Western Xia, it turned out that there was such a conspiracy.

The Nyingma faction of the Tibetan Esoteric Sect also actively participated and wanted to get a piece of the pie, but this time they met Lin Ziming and Dai Qisi, which was considered a big bad luck, losing their wives and soldiers.

Within an hour, the three of them have come to the vicinity of the ancient town of Qamdo, not as good as the ancient town of Bangda, the army in Shuzhong is still being rectified, and many places may not be able to patrol and inspect, since the ancient town of Qamdo was controlled by the general Cheng Yanjin, I don't know how many sentry posts have been laid around, and the three of them just appeared around, and immediately dozens of people surrounded them.

"What people!"

Lin Ziming immediately showed the flying dragon token in his hand, and those soldiers didn't know it when they saw the token, but the person in charge waved his hand: "You stand aside for the time being and continue to patrol, they are their own people, I will be in charge." ”

"Yes. ”

In a few moments, the dozens of soldiers had already left and continued their patrol on the other side.

Suddenly, in addition to Lin Ziming and the three of them, there was also the patrol leader who had just left.

"Centurion Luo Yucheng has seen adults. ”

"You have some insight and know what I have in my hands. Lin Ziming smiled and put away the dragon token.

However, if you look closely, this person named Luo Yucheng is dressed in white armor, looks like a jade tree in the wind, extraordinary, and has a murderous aura, such a person looks like a battle-hardened general, not a small centurion.

"You are not the descendant of Luo Tong, the son of the Three Peerless Sons. Lin Ziming saw this young man who was almost the same age as himself, and couldn't help asking.

Luo Yucheng nodded and replied to Lin Ziming: "It's my father." ”

Luo Tong is worthy of being recognized by Li Shimin personally and accepted as a righteous son, even if he was beheaded by the enemy's famous veteran Wang Buchao during the Western Expedition, the heir can still abide by the legacy and start from the humble centurion.

"We want to see General Cheng. ”

"Come with me. ”

Later, under the leadership of Luo Yucheng, the three of them came to the ancient town of Qamdo, Dai Qisi was taken to rest, and Lin Ziming and Xu Jing came to the main tent of the military camp to see the general Cheng Yanjin.

"It's you. When Cheng Yanjin saw Lin Ziming, he was a little surprised.

Lin Ziming's current status is not much lower than Cheng Yanjin, but out of courtesy, he still has to be humble: "The younger Lin Ziming has seen the old general." ”

"Xu Jing, the superintendent of Shuzhong, has seen the old general. Xu Jing was still a little uncomfortable in the face of Cheng Biting Jin, trembling when he spoke, and his usual demeanor was not there.

When Cheng Yanjin heard Xu Jing's name, his face changed slightly, and his eyes fell on Xu Jing, although he had a trace of speculation in his heart, he still asked: "Aren't you captured by the Tubo master?"

Lin Ziming knew that he should come forward at this time: "We met a few lamas on the way here, and we followed him to rescue him." ”

"I see. Cheng Yanjin nodded, and immediately stood up and stared at the two of them, as if he could understand people's hearts: "If you don't go to Bangda Ancient Town, don't you want to join the imperial army when you come to Qamdo?"

Xu Jing saw the opportunity to act, and hurriedly said: "The old general is clever, this time I am not effective in supervising the army, and I have no shame to return to the army in Shuzhong, but I am not willing to return in vain, and I implore the old general to tolerate me, a guilty person, and be a pioneer to atone for my crimes." ”

"That's fine. Cheng Yanjin shouted outside the tent: "Yucheng, come in and take him to the pioneer camp." ”

"Yes. ”

Luo Yucheng led Xu Jing out of the tent and went towards the pioneer camp, and suddenly only Lin Ziming and Cheng Yanjin were left in the tent.
