Dandere General and his Lord

As soon as he walked up the steps, he saw the other end of the corridor from a distance. The lord covered his face and squatted on the ground.

A black figure squatted in front of her, patting her back lightly, as if comforting her.

Zhang Fu hesitated for a moment, then withdrew his footsteps and stepped back.

Inside the secret room of the Princess Mansion

Zhang Fu put down his usual immobile face and pinched his eyebrows irritably.

"Sir, is this sad for General Helan?" A Jia sat upright in front of him.

Zhang Fu did not speak.

"My lord is going to Zhengzhou in person? Why didn't your lord stop me?"

Zhang Fu opened his mouth and said: "My lord, she is not impulsive. The sudden loss of the head coach in Zhengzhou will definitely shake the army and make people panic. The situation. Besides, she brought Yu Dunsu, Mo Qiaosheng, Zhou Zixi and others, so it should be okay."

"My lord, you said it's okay, but why do you look worried?"

"I..." Zhang Fu choked, he realized that he was not as steady as before.

Ah Jia's face is dull and expressionless, and his words are cold, but he can always point directly to Zhang Fu's heart: "It's because the lord didn't follow me in person, so I can't worry about my lord."

Zhang Fu did not speak, it was a default.

Ajia actually agrees with Zhang Fu's decision to stay in Bianjing: "The situation in Bianjing is very complicated now, and the surrounding countries are all staring at us and eager to move. The lord is right to keep the adults."

Zhang Fu frowned: "This time, General Helan passed away unexpectedly, I always feel a little weird, why did the army of Quanrong appear near Zhengzhou and ambushed Helanzhen so accurately, but we didn't know anything about it. No news."

A Jia suddenly interjected: "When will I die?"

She also felt that something was wrong and wanted to leave here and go to the front line to inquire about the news in person.

Zhang Fu's words reached his throat, but he didn't say it.

He suddenly remembered the back figure who was squatting and crying quietly by the corridor.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally waved his hand: "Just... get sick first. He Lanzhen's death will be a big blow to the lord. Let her keep this identity for now."

Ajia stopped talking.

The adult's heart softened. The old adult always had a smile on his face, but in fact his heart was cold and he didn't care about anyone.

The new lord can actually change him, and the lord is really an interesting person.

"This way, Ajia." Zhang Fu finally made a decision, "You are a woman, it will be more convenient. You follow the lord to Zhengzhou and protect her closely. Let A Chun wear a veil and lie on the bed instead of the princess and continue to pretend to be sick. "

Ajia nodded and took the order to leave.

Zhang Fu walked out of the gate of the Princess Mansion and got into the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Xiao Xiu handed him a cup of warm tea, but he hesitated.

Zhang Fu slowly drank the water, "You don't have to worry, I've figured it out. Since she wants to keep the identity of the princess, she will keep it for the time being."

Xiao Xiu was happy: "Master will be happy when he knows. You are really a gentle person, sir."

Am I a gentle person? Zhang Fu followed the car window and looked at the bustling crowd on the street. It seemed that I had really changed.

Cheng Qianye took the advance troops, boarded the warship, traveled day and night along the newly opened canal, and arrived in Zhengzhou.

Outside the city of Zhengzhou, the army of Quan Rong surrounded the city to the point of nowhere.

Yao Tianxiang, dressed in armor, stood on the head of the city in person as the lord and concubine, and reluctantly stabilized the almost disintegrated army in Zhengzhou city.

"Princess, this place is too dangerous, you should avoid it and let me guard here for you." Sima Tu stood behind her and advised.

"No, I'm standing here." Yao Tianxiang looked into the distance and said firmly, "I don't know anything about war, but as long as I stand here, everyone will know that although the general is gone, this This city, we have not given up. As long as we hold on for a day or two, Qianyu's reinforcements will arrive immediately."

The sky to the north is gradually rolling sand,

The vast army of dàngdàng emerges from the smoke and dust,

The flags were fierce, the horses were neighing, and the army was gradually approaching.

Soldiers on the city wall erected tents with their hands, trying to identify the font size on the flag.

"Jin character handsome flag! It's Jin character handsome flag!"

"Reinforcements! It's our reinforcements, the reinforcements are here!"

"That is the commanding flag of the lord, and the lord himself leads the army!"

There was a cheering sound from above the city wall.

"Qianyu! Qianyu is here so soon!" Yao Tianxiang squeezed Sima Tu's hand tightly, excited.

The army of Jin State came with hatred and might, but the Quanrong army besieging the city avoided its edge and retreated to the camp twenty miles away.

Zhengzhou opened the north gate and welcomed the lord's army into the city.

The army entered the city.

Cheng Qianye led the crowd to the front of the mourning hall.

I saw spirit flags fluttering in the wind, and a line of white lamps greeted each other mournfully.

In the mourning hall, there was a big sacrificial character, and a black lacquer coffin stopped at the bottom.

The man in the coffin has never been seen again.

Cheng Qianye clenched his teeth tightly, looked at the coffin quietly parked there with red eyes, and performed the ritual of worship.

An adjutant of Helanzhen, surnamed Li Mingzhong, knelt before the spirit and returned the salute.

He had several bruises on his face and a wound on his arm, which was tied around his neck with a bandage.

Zishang was one of the few survivors in the ambush of Inu Rong.

"General Helan...how did he die?" Cheng Qianye stood in front of him and spoke in a light tone.

Li Zhong wiped away his tears and repeated what he had said many times.

"We received a tip that day, saying that we had found traces of a small dog."

"Who received the tip?" Cheng Qianye interrupted him.

"I'm... a subordinate of the humble post."

"What's the name of that subordinate?" Cheng Qianye instructed A Jia who was beside him, "Go and find someone, and bring everyone who didn't die in that battle together."

Li Zhong kneeled there with his head down, his heart skipping a beat.

It is impossible for the lord to know. He rolled his eyes, but no one in Zhengzhou City found out. How could the lord see through it as soon as he arrived.

"Go on." Cheng Qianye still asked tepidly, and slowly sat down on a chair that Cheng Feng brought.

Chapter 93

Li Zhong carefully recalled the events of that day.

There should be no flaws, everyone who knew it died in that battle, he thought.

He is a retainer of the Helan family. When he was young, he always followed Helan Yanzhi, the old patriarch of the Helan family. Later, he followed the young and new Helanzhen of the Helan family and became one of Helanzhen's trusted lieutenants.

Helanzhen ordered him to be stationed in a small county twenty miles west of Zhengzhou, which was an important outpost for Zhengzhou's defense of Xirong.

A few days ago, he led a few cronies back to Zhengzhou City, and told He Lanzhen that they had found signs of suspected dog spy activities near the station.

He Lanzhen had no doubts at all, and ordered hundreds of personal soldiers to follow him to the station to investigate the enemy's situation.

Walking on the road, He Lanzhen chatted with him casually as usual. But Li Zhong was a little absent-minded, his heart was pounding, and he was uneasy about what was about to happen.

"Uncle Li." He Lanzhen suddenly called him.

"What, what's the matter, Major General." Li Zhong was taken aback.

"I think the road ahead seems a little wrong." He Lanzhen reined in the reins and stopped the horse. He frowned and looked at the dense forest in front of him.

"Yes, there is nothing wrong with it. This is our own territory." Li Zhong pressed his heart, which jumped to his throat, and said with a smile, "Not far from this forest, it is the station of the last commander, the last commander will be early. Send someone on the other side of the woods to wait for the general's chariot."

He Lanzhen smiled as usual: "Yes, with Uncle Li making arrangements, I have nothing to worry about."

...

Above the mourning hall, looking at the white flags flying all over the sky.

Li Zhong, who was kneeling on the ground and said everything above, felt a sense of guilt inexplicably.

In his mouth, he talked endlessly about the lies that were woven with heart and flawless.

How he fought bravely against the enemy, regardless of his serious injury, desperately grabbed He Lanzhen's body from the enemy's hands, and the process of getting out of the siege by luck was vivid and vivid, making everyone who heard it sighed.

Even those members of the Helan family who came to the mourning hall in sackcloth looked at him gratefully with tears in their eyes.

Even the patriarch Helan Yanzhi thanked him personally. If it weren't for the fact that the lord was still sitting there, Helan Yanzhi would almost have come over to help him get up, and said words of gratitude.

However, the lord sat upright in front of him, staring at him with dark eyes, silent for a long time without speaking.

The strange silence of the lord made the whole air seem to condense, with a suffocating depression.

Li Zhong knelt on the ground, and in Cheng Qianye's gaze, he felt a little breathless.
