Chapter 513: Going to the expedition
Isn’t the name worthy of it? In the military tent, the generals were stunned.
But soon, another general suddenly shook his head: "At this moment, do you still dare to underestimate this envoy Zhao?
Although you and I are in the local area and in the army, we do not know many things in the court, even if we only spy on the rumors that we heard, we should understand that envoy Zhao is definitely not a person who seeks fame."
"So? Do you think it's true? He is the key figure in this big victory?" asked the military officer.
He nodded and looked at Xue Shence who was in the upper leader very seriously: "Prince Envoy, although I can't figure out how those who have never led a war can do this, I think there is no need for Your Majesty to deceive everyone at this time and use such a big thing to gilt it."
Xue Shence looked at the general, and he remembered that the other party was a deputy general of the Linfeng Army Mansion.
In the Taicang Silver Mine case, he led elite troops to follow Zhao Duan to investigate the case and blocked the city.
"Zhao Shaobao is a hero who is rare. Besides, I have also witnessed the power of the new firearm in Shenjiying. It is not surprising that this is a success. I don't want to hear similar doubts again." Xue Shence made a final decision.
Some people were not convinced, but when they saw that the "Military God" was like this, they had to swallow their words, and the shock in their hearts became stronger and stronger.
How could Shumi Xue be so praised? How many people could there be in the civil and military affairs in the court?
"Publicate the news, this big victory is enough to boost the morale of the entire army."
Xue Shence made an arrangement and immediately returned to the main topic: "The danger in Qingzhou has been resolved, and reinforcements from the Beijing camp will arrive soon. Now that we are about to enfeoff the east and west sides, King Jing is on the stance of defensive separatism, but King Mu still has the intention to annex the country and territory. We should gather our troops to retreat to the enemy. Since this envoy has come, we will not allow the rebels' claws to poke even an inch out!"
The soldiers were excited and stood up to respond:
"The last general should do his best to guard the seal!"
…
…
Nan of Taicang Prefecture, Ningjiang County.
As a strategic location on the battlefield in the western Huai River, this county town has been in the hands of the rebels of King Mu of Yunfu for many days.
However, if you walk in the city, you will find that in addition to the slightly solemn atmosphere and inevitably be surrounded by the clouds of war, the entire county town is still operating, the shops on the street open as usual, and the people on the street walk as usual.
The city was orderly and without any chaos.
At this moment, the sound of golden Cairo came from the main road in the city, and a team of Yunfu soldiers drove into the city and headed straight to the county government.
The people consciously gave in, hiding on both sides of the road, looking at this army with respect and fear.
In the center of the army, a middle-aged civil servant sitting upright on a jujube horse was particularly eye-catching, surrounded by fierce iron armored soldiers holding guns and halberds.
The only person was wearing a crimson genius robe, a Confucian crown on his head, holding the reins in both hands, and a soft armor on his upper body.
In the gaps between the two layers of soft armor, there is space for storing objects, and a blue cover in the corner is exposed. The corners are rough, indicating that the books are often read.
Suddenly, a galloping horse galloped in front of the team, and the middle-aged man raised his hand and the marching team stopped.
The person who reported the news turned over and dismounted, held up the letter in both hands: "Report to General! Scout's return, Xue Shence has arrived at Taicang Mansion from the eastern front..."
Is Xue Shence here? Su Dan's expression was solemn, and he glanced at the changing color of the generals beside him. He was not afraid and laughed:
"Don't be fooled by the name of the 'Military God'. He was incompetent and had no skills in the east and west, and he missed the other side. He ordered all the generals to be summoned to the county government..."
Far away.
On the black roof of a four-story restaurant in the city, a woman in black clothes, with cold eyebrows and eyes, and almost ghostly stood on a raised roof.
The sun was hot and the clouds were floating in the sky. But for some reason, the pedestrians on the street below ignored the woman in black and seemed to have never seen it.
The woman calmly looked at the general Su Dan in the army, with a expressionless face.
But if Zhao Duan was here, he would be shocked, because the appearance of this woman in black was eighty or ninety-nineth-score similar to that of the second disciple of the Tianshi Mansion, "Yuxiu".
As a Taoist sect master, the jade sleeves are elegant and light.
The woman was weird and gaze was extremely cold.
"Hehe, Sister Rong, this Su Dan is really capable. It's not worthy of the prince and Zhao Shixiong's fight for him. How many days has it been? He held Ning Jiang firmly in his palms and could suppress the border troops with bandits more powerful than soldiers...
No wonder, he was entrusted with an important task and was at the forefront of the Western Front. Could it be that he could really fight against Xue Shence?
Unfortunately, people are a little weird. They are obviously military generals, but they like to pretend to be literati all day long. "
A young man grabbed the tiles by his hand, and he didn't see how hard he tried. A clever figure jumped up.
The boy about seventeen or eighteen years old was very thin, but his arms were very long, his eyes were rolling, full of aura.
Squatting on the ridge like a monkey, a handleless dagger in his hand flew like a butterfly, looking at the officer riding a horse in the distance, and was amazed.
The woman in black named Nie Yurong turned around and looked at the cold eyes:
"We Xiyi pointed out that although we were not the same path as Su Dan and the generals, we all served Prince Mu and were half of our colleagues.
Now we are ordered to lurk in the city, not only secretly assisting the army in capturing the city, but also supervising Su Dan and his group of people. If you have any intention of rebelling, you will assassinate in advance. So..."
The young man squatting on the roof curled his lips and his body sank:
"I know, I must hide and not show up to avoid being noticed. But Sister Rong, you are standing more obviously than me."
Nie Yurong said coldly:
"The magic I practice can ensure that I escape during the day. Can you do it?"
The boy named Sikong drooped his eyebrows and complained:
"I know, the monk from Shenlong Temple is right. Why didn't I notice you as a mother-in-law before? What about the female assassin who was proficient in assassination? It's similar to the old mother.
You are all like this, so Sister Rong, the sister you are looking for must be even more naughty. Mom, if you really find it, wouldn't it be two old mothers to be quarrel?"
Nie Yurong's face was expressionless, and her right hand suddenly swung, and a green paper crane shot out like a dart, hitting the young man's eyebrows!
With a roar, it rolled down the roof like a ball. At the critical moment, Sikong grabbed the eaves with one hand and climbed up again: "When I didn't say it, I didn't say it!"
One of the assassin intelligence organization "Embroidered Clothes Directly" secretly trained by the Prince Mu's Mansion, only a few people knew that Nie Yurong, who was the "Embroidered Clothes Messenger", had a sister who was separated when she was young.
It’s a pity that there was no news. It’s probably because I died long ago in the bandits of that year.
Nie Yurong said coldly:
"The superior intercepted and killed a shadow guard and received news that Zhao Duan had been appointed as the "Grand Commander-in-Change Rebellion" and led his troops south to Linfeng, and he was likely to come to the Western Front battlefield."
At the same time speaking, the young Sikong spread his palm open, and in his palm, the green paper crane that had just hit him in his eyebrows spread out and floated in front of him.
A black ink stain on the paper quickly outlined, and used almost sketches to depict a portrait of a handsome man with a smile on his face.
"This is the queen? Bah, she really looks like a little white-faced." Sikong spat.
Nie Yurong stood at the tip of the roof with her hands behind her back, with the scorching sun above her head, and her voice was as cold as ice:
"Transfer the order, once he enters the Western Front War Zone, I will grasp his movements as soon as possible."
Sikong was stunned, nodded, and grinned and smiled coldly:
What King Zhao Yan? If you target Sister Rong, you will definitely die.
Do you know the value of Nie Yurong, the No. 1 “shadowless” on the Assassin Hunting List?
…
…
The capital city, Tianshi Mansion.
"本——"
"本——"
The bell rolled across the city, which means that the beheading at Caishikou has ended. Today, Caishikou is crowded with people, and they are all going to see Li Yanfu and Heng Wang and his son who were sentenced to death.
The entire Yu Kingdom was in turmoil, and the Tianshi Mansion became the last pure land. "Master, are you looking for us?"
Deep in the courtyard, three disciples, Yuxiu, Gongshu Tianyuan and Jin Jian, pushed the door and bowed to Zhang Yan, who stood with his hands behind his back.
The old master's soft priest robe hung on the ground, and his long hair with a bun was combed horizontally into a branch:
"Zhao Duan is about to go to war. Yuxiu and Jin Jian, you two should follow him."
Ah?
The three disciples were stunned at the same time, and the female Taoist nun frowned: "Master, do we order us to protect him? But it involves a royal civil war. Is this move..."
Yuxiu was not resistant to this arrangement, and she could observe more of the "Son of Heaven and Earth".
But she thought that it was reasonable to save Zhao Duan last time, but now that he has to protect him when he goes to war, it has broken the rules set by Taoist sect's heavenly masters.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
Zhang Yan turned around, his narrow eyes were filled with wisdom:
"You don't need to protect him, nor do you need to participate in the royal civil war. But if some people want to break the rules, you can stop them."
What does it mean... Jin Jian blinked his big confused eyes and didn't understand.
Yu Xiu was stunned: "Master is referring to us to deal with the White-Yellow Sect? The Dharma God Sect? Or, Master believes that Shenlong Temple will still interfere?"
The White-Yellow Sect is an organization of evil Taoist sorcerers, and the Tianshi Mansion has a mission to arrest and kill evil demons.
As for Shenlong Temple... Although Xuanyin fled and the main hall was destroyed, there are still a large number of "remnants" of Shenlong Temple in various parts of the territory of Yu.
Zhang Yan laughed and said, "The bald donkey Xuanyin dared not take action easily due to the agreement between heaven and man. However, if the disciples and grandsons below make some small moves, they will destroy the reputation of the entire cultivation world, right?"
Yu Xiu understood and clasped his fists: "Disciple is obeying the law."
After saying that, seeing that Jin Jian next to him was silent, she poked her right foot out of her skirt and gently kicked Jin Jian. The confused girl priest became like this:
"Disciple... obey the law!"
"Eh? Where is me?" Gongshu Tianyuan next to him was anxious, and the short and fat priest hurriedly blinked his little eyes:
"Master, I can trust the second senior sister, but the junior sister slept in a daze all day and had bad eyes. How dangerous is it to follow the battlefield? I'll go with my senior sister."
Jin Jian was unhappy and pushed the glasses on his nose and flipped his waist: "Who did you say can't do it?"
Gongshu Tianyuan refused to give in: "You can't do it. This time the army was launched and the court's firearms came out. Do you know the firearms?"
Jin Jian choked and his momentum became weaker: "I... don't understand."
Gongshu Tianyuan smiled slightly: "Wars are often in the daytime, you go to bed during the day. If you really fight, others have to take care of you. Do you think it should?"
Jin Jian seemed to have an arrow on his knee, retreated and said weakly, "No... should."
Gongshu Tianyuan put his waist on his hips, laughing loudly, and gave the last blow:
"There are many men in the army, and the senior sister is always a woman, so there are so many inconveniences. There are many things that a man should do. What can you do with your senior sister? Can you change your gender?"
Jin Jianru was struck by lightning, and at this moment she felt that she was shorter, and Gongshu Tianyuan's figure in front of her was infinitely higher, even greater than Luoshan.
I am extremely small and have no chance of winning.
The old master watched the two of them quarrel silently and said angrily: "I have made a decision for my master. Yu Xiu and Jin Jian go with you, stay."
The momentum of Gongshu Tianyuan collapsed instantly, and his proud look disappeared.
I just felt that Jin Jian quickly enlarged, covering the sky and the sun, making him feel like he was looking up to him:
Damn it, it’s the backing, she has a backing!
Zhang Yan sighed tiredly and threw a roll of drawings in his sleeve to him: "Boy Zhao Du'an sent it. It said that this Qingzhou Battle, the Shenji Camp summarized the advantages and disadvantages of firearms and had new ideas for improvement. I will leave it to you to improve it." Brother Zhao's new design? Gongshu Tianyuan was as if he had a treasure, and his face looked serious: "Senior sister and junior sister are fighting together, it's really a perfect match." "Get out!"
"Okay."
...
...
...
At an inn in Yuguo.
Xu Jianwen, wearing a cloak, sat by the window, quietly examining the secret report.
After a long time, the second prince threw the secret report out of the window with his fair and symmetrical hands, and the paper was crushed by the invisible qi in the air. "What a third sister... What a Zhao Duan..." Xu Jianwen murmured softly, unable to tell whether he was admiring or disappointed in his tone.
"Your Highness..."
In the room, two senior officials of the Kuangfu Society, Qi Yuchun and Ren Kun, looked at each other:
"Now the female emperor stabilizes the situation and the Qingzhou soldiers are defeated. Are we..."
"Continue to hide and wait for the opportunity." Xu Jianwen answered without hesitation.
Former Imperial Commander Qi Yuchun said: "During these days, traitors such as Yunxi, Lin Yuebai, Wu Ling are still attacking everywhere and destroying our branches. If they are passively beaten, the community will probably fall apart..."
Xu Jianwen smiled and didn't care:
"It's just chess pieces that can be thrown away at any time. They want them, and they give them the same. Zhuang Xiaocheng could see clearly at the beginning, why don't you understand?"
The two were stunned, thinking that if the club was destroyed, there was only the last little person left, how could they help Your Highness regain power?
Or, Your Highness has other plans?
Xu Jianwen suddenly asked, "Where are you bewitching that guy? Haven't you appeared recently?"
The earth god magician Ren Kun said, "
"He heard that the female emperor had a war in Baihua Village, and he said something was wrong and ran away in a hurry."
Running? What have you done?
Xu Jianwen frowned and waved his hand: "Don't care about him."
...
...
...
A beheading at Caishikou at the end of this summer, announcing the beginning of the imperial counterattack.
Just three days after Li Yanfu's death, the two teams of Shenji Camp and Wujun Camp opened toward Linfeng in a mighty manner.
One day, before closing the road, the territory of Taicang Mansion was bounded.
On a certain official road, in a shaking carriage, Zhao Duan exhaled heavily, woke up from meditation, opened his eyes, and a trace of lightning flashed through his eyes.
It seemed like he had a nightmare, he subconsciously raised his hand and touched his chest. He put a dark red half-body armor in his open robe.
The armor seemed to contain fire, and the black human face on the front was like a ghost.
"Zoroastrianism...it's okay to meet it in your dream..."
