"Hidden Tent" 103

The house is brightly lit and there is a topographic map on the table.

He Lin, He Luming and Lu Xing sat on each other, while Chen Mu and Chen Xu stood on both sides, and the atmosphere was solemn and solemn with the naked eye.

With a "creak", the door of the house opened-

Several people looked up and met He Lin's slightly surprised eyes. Chen Shifeng quickly glanced at the table and immediately turned red. She clenched her palms and barely kept her sensible and said, "Dad, second brother, Uncle Lu... Has something happened to him?"

Everyone was silent, He Luming raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Don't mess around--"

Chen Shishib interrupted him, "Dad, tell me the truth."

After a long period of silence, He Lin frowned slightly between his eyebrows and said, "The last checkpoint of the military capital, Xianyin Pass, Li Army and Xiying were both injured in the defeat, and they retreated 500 miles each, but an explosion occurred north of the Guanshan Mountain and the people disappeared."

Chen Shifeng was stunned, even forgot the tears in his eyes.

The dream she had just had flashed in front of her eyes, and her figure flashed, but fortunately Tao Yin supported her in time.

He Lin moved his Adam's apple slightly, stepped forward and stroked her black hair that was simply tied up, and said, "No one has been found yet, so it may not be a bad situation. I will let you know about it again after you have news. You can go back and rest."

Chen Shiqi knew that not only would he not be able to help him stay, but he would also distract them. Therefore, he nodded very obediently and replied: "I must tell me."

He Lin nodded, and she left with only three steps.

------------

Soon, the disappearance of the general of the Li army spread throughout Kyoto. Since then, the Li army has been defeated three times in a row and retreated to Panxingling, and is about to be defeated back to Qudu.

The court's weapons and food had to be sent to Qudu in a steady stream to solve the urgent problem. The Ministry of War complained and the Ministry of Revenue was even more miserable.

It took only half a month to go, but there was no news about Lu Jiuxiao. He seemed to have evaporated out of thin air from Xianyin Pass.

This made those court officials who were already disliked by Lu Jiuxiao and said:

"It's simply nonsense! The war between the former general Xiying defeated and withdrawn from Qudu was over. Why take advantage of the victory and pursue it? How many soldiers and food have been lost? These are all white silver!"

"I am young and energetic. Not to mention taking my life, tens of thousands of people are really hasty and hasty."

"It seems that Commander Lu is too anxious to make achievements, so he is so reckless."

"He used to be a casual person. He led his troops to fight for the first time. The minister had long said that he would not succeed."

"Master! Our most urgent task is to return the troops to Qudu, please give up a letter of surrender, and stop the loss in time!"

Zhao Huaifeng placed his hands on his knees, his eyebrows slightly sank, and his face was silent.

Suddenly, the sound of drums came from outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony—

Everyone turned their heads and looked at them, and Zhao Huaifeng immediately stood up from the dragon throne.

He saw an imperial guard wearing red velvet coat and iron armor coming from below the ninth stairs. He shouted "Report--" all the way until he knelt in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, "Sage, Qudu reported the battle report, Li's army has won a great victory, and now he has entered the service capital. Lu Duwei cut off Muke's head and hung it on the city wall! Xiying raised the white flag and surrendered!"

After the words came, there was a moment of silence in the court, followed by a loud whisper, and he quickly bowed and said, "Congratulations to the Lord, congratulations to the Lord!"

Then, there were continuous voices: "Congratulations to the Lord, congratulations to the Lord!"

A smile appeared in Zhao Huaifeng's eyes, and he raised his eyebrows slightly at He Lin in the team, and the two raised their mouths one after another.

The emperor stood with his hands behind his back, glanced at him gently and said, "Who said he was not successful just now?"

"Who is it again? Is it the one who wants to give up the surrender book?"

The voices suddenly became quiet, and the beards were touching, and the collars were tidying up, and each of them lowered his heads, but no one spoke any further.

On the other side, Feiyuan.

With a "date", the cup in Chen Shifeng's hand fell off, and the tears that had been holding back for half a month finally fell off.

And what is going on here? Let’s talk about it half a month ago—

An explosion occurred north of Xianyin Pass, and Lu Jiuxiao fell to the hillside. As soon as the soldiers of Xiying were patrolling, he disguised himself into the city. After three days, he found out the locations of each battalion. It is said that capturing the thief first, so he sneaked into the tent of the generals of Xiying, and took the lead in assassinating Mukele, and even left the military defense map of the Dudu.

The next morning, news of Mukel's death spread, and the soldiers stationed in the military capital immediately panicked. The soldiers who had lost their heads were scattered.

Seven days after that, Lu Jiuxiao buried explosives one by one where the food and grass were placed in the defense map. On June 17, the granaries in Xiying were all blown up.

The morale of the Xiying generals was furious, and Lu Jiuxiao ran away while the chaos was in trouble.

He drove his horse all the way to the south of Xianyin Pass for thousands of miles to the territory of the Li Army. With everyone's shocked eyes, he pulled Xu Chiyan into the camp. The two of them worked as defense maps and studied them all night, circled out all the key guards in Xiying, and formulated a series of siege plans.

On the evening of June 19th, while the new generals of Xiying had not yet arrived, the Li army attacked the city and fought for two days, and finally won a great victory.

After six years of separation, the military capital was once again put on the flag belonging to the Li Kingdom.

At this time, Lu Jiuxiao sat on the couch with his upper body naked, with a circle of white cloth wrapped around his abdomen, and the clear water beside him turned into blood. The military doctor accompanied him sighed repeatedly, pointing to the explosion wound on his back and said, "Prince Lu, it's not that I said you, if your injury is delayed, your flesh will rot!"

"And your knife wound is a little deeper, I'm afraid my life will be gone!"

When Xu Chiyan came in from the camp, he heard the old military doctor talking.

Lu Jiuxiao frowned and said, "Put on me the scar removal plaster, hurry up, if I have scars, I'm afraid your life will be gone."

He glanced at Xu Chiyan from the end, waved his hand to let him approach, turned his back and said, "Is this ugly?"

Xu Chiyan: "...it's okay."

I heard Lu Jiuxiao sigh hesitantly: "Hey, you said that the little girl wouldn't think she was ugly when she saw these, right?"

------------

After the war, the capital was filled with dilapidated waste and wandering refugees. After drinking and having fun for two days, the Li army had to devote themselves to post-war reconstruction.

Lu Jiuxiao leaned against the wall with his sword in his arms, watching the soldiers set up a wooden shed for porridge. The people who received the porridge lined up to the city gate from here. In order to get an extra bowl of porridge, the old lady over 70 years old cried and begged.

Xu Chiyan handed him a small pot of wine, looked at the picture in front of him and said, "The prince of the Yongding Marquis' Mansion has never seen such a scene, have you?"

Lu Jiuxiao glanced at him with his eyes.

Xu Chiyan raised his head and drank, saying lightly: "Every time the war starts, all kinds of things are the most heartbreaking after the war."

He looked at him with a smile and said, "But fortunately you won."

After the words came, the crowd suddenly became noisy. Everyone looked here, and it was not as good as Lu Jiuxiao's reaction. The people in the dilapidated clothes suddenly stepped forward and knelt down, saying:

"Thank you, Captain Lu, for repelling Xiying. I haven't returned to Qudu's house for six years. It's a mountain across it. I thought I'd never see my mother at home in my life!"

"Xiying has occupied and occupied for many years and has never treated us locals as humans..."

"We are the blessing of the people of our service capital. We will thank the great kindness of Lu Duwei!"

...

...

Lu Jiuxiao froze and even took a half step back.

Xu Chiyan looked at it playfully, and saw the eloquent Prince Lu holding the sword tightly, his neck was red, and he couldn't spit out a word. At the end, he turned around and left without looking.

It looks quite cold.

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, looking at each other, confused.

Xu Chiyan bent his lips in a funny way and coughed lightly, "Emperor Lu is not very good-nature."

After saying that, he flicked his robe and headed towards Lu Jiuxiao.

On the lookout, Lu Jiuxiao took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it. He didn't know why his chest was so pounding that it couldn't stop.

Suddenly, the wooden stairs shook lightly twice.

The light of the sunset made Lu Jiuxiao's entire back look brilliant. Xu Chiyan withdrew his gaze and looked into the distance. After a long time of laughter, he said, "Has anyone ever said that you look like him?"

Lu Jiuxiao paused for a moment and turned his head to look at him.

They all know who this "he" is.

Xu Chiyan: "The tactical appearance and move appearance are very similar, but not very similar."

He glanced at the movements in Lu Jiuxiao's hand and sneered: "Even the movements of turning the sword spikes are exactly the same."

Hearing this, Lu Jiuxiao suddenly stopped. He pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "I don't look like him."

He leaned on the carved railing, lowered his head and stroked the silver ring with the word "家" engraved on the sword, and his Adam's apple moved slightly.

Lu Jiuxiao once wanted to be him, when he cut the hemp rope that trapped him, when he gave him a dagger, when he went on a warrior again and again, when he expressed his ambitions with stars in his eyes-

He lives in the light, sincere and open.

And the congratulations light made him yearn for it.

So he followed him, read the military books he had read, and practiced the moves he had practiced.

On the winter of the 17th year of Wanhe, on the roof of He family, He Lin asked him what wish he had made.

His wish is to one day be able to walk with the congratulations.

At that time, Lu Jiuxiao only had the huge Kyoto in his eyes. The city was dull and dull, and he was as bright as a star, paving a bright road for him.

Until one day, the light disappeared.

The road is gone.

He went wrong.
