Finest Servant

The sky was still dark, and the spring rain in Zhejiang and Zhejiang gently rustled the loquats in the courtyard. It was dark in the attic, and the young ladies had already stood up, silently packing their bags for him, and the atmosphere was indescribably depressing.

Luo Ning served him to put on his underwear and armor, and looked up and down, carefully stretching his armor.

"Brother, this is the clothes in winter, and the other bag is for summer, and we made them for you. I heard that there is a lot of sand outside the Great Wall, and the weather is abnormal in the morning and evening. You have to change your clothes in time, don't be lazy. Qiaoqiao pointed to the large packages in front of her and exhorted them one by one: "There are also the things I cleaned up for you, the towels, salt, soap, and more than ten pairs of new shoes I made for you. I don't know. Enough for you to wear-"

I thought of everything I could think of, and brought everything I brought, for fear of missing something. As Xiao Nizi spoke, the circles of her eyes turned red, and Yingying tears rolled in the corners of her eyes.

It doesn't look like I'm going to war, it's like traveling. The days when I have a wife are really incomparable to when I was a bachelor. Lin Wanrong smiled wryly and shook his head, but he couldn't go against the good intentions of the ladies, so he could only hold Qiaoqiao's hand and smiled comfortingly: "You brought me so many things, but I still don't have enough to wear. It's not as bad as I imagined. , don't worry."

"Lin Lang, put this on for you." Xiao Qingxuan put a jade Buddha carefully around Li Yi's neck, and said softly, "This is what my mother left for me, she will keep you safe all the way. "

Xiao Yuruo's cheeks were dizzy, and she stepped forward slowly, holding a heart amulet made of red threads in her hand, gently hanging it around his neck: "This is called Lianxinsuo. I have one, you have one." The plump and upturned chest made a gesture, and then a little bit against Lin Wanrong's chest, and the eyes were wet.

Ning'er, Xian'er, Qiaoqiao, Second Miss. But one is not far behind, golden locks, jade pendants, and peace charms, everyone has small personal things to give away, and he is full of things hanging around his neck.

The grace of a beautiful woman is too heavy to bear. Master Lin shook his head and sighed. If I continue to delay like this, I am afraid that I will be reluctant to leave.

Qin Xian'er hung the sword in front of him, and Chief Gao had already prepared the carriage and waited in front of the mansion gate. Seeing him go out and board the carriage, the horse will raise its hooves.

"Lin San—" the eldest lady cried out in grief. I don't know where the courage came from, so he jumped into the carriage with his long skirt and slid into his arms.

Look at Xiao Yuruo's appearance. The young ladies under the car were even more dejected, and the tears merged with the rain.

Holding the eldest lady's weak and boneless body in her arms, Lin Wanrong's heart is indescribable: "Good, don't cry, don't cry. I'll be back soon."

The eldest lady said faintly: "Do you only have this sentence to coax people?!"

Lin Wanrong was stunned for a while,

Immediately, he smiled and said, "Don't you know my temperament? I will never coax people. Little darling. When we come back from the war, we will go back to Lingyin Temple to repay our vows, and I will sign the marriage for you. Didn't they all come true? The great monk of Lingyin Temple is quite honest!"

"Disgusting!" The eldest spit softly, and pinched him with a red face, and while no one was paying attention, holding back her shyness, she kissed him on the cheek like a dragonfly. Softly said: "Come back soon, I'll wait for you!!!"

The eldest lady jumped out of the car shyly, "I'll wait for you," this gentle and soft words made Mr. Lin's heart melt.

He suddenly burst out laughing and shouted at the tearful young ladies, "Come on, give me a hug! Pay attention to discipline and come one by one. Hey, Second Miss, I only said hugs, not kisses—"

The carriage went a long way, and Gao Yi turned around, but saw the ladies standing in the rain, and the oil-paper umbrellas had long since been lost, and Yiyi looked like a set of solidified Wangfu stones. Chief Gao shook his head and sighed: "Brother, I really envy you. The affection of several ladies for you is deeper than the water in the East China Sea."

"Yeah, it's really affectionate," Master Lin wiped the lipstick and rouge on his face with force, and said helplessly: "But it's too enthusiastic - Ning'er's rouge is wiped, she is sincere to let the soldiers of the three armies see my joke. ,Ha ha--"

Xiaoyu walked all the way down the road, and before he reached the outside of the city, the rain thread was thickened again, and drifted in diagonally, hitting Rendi's face, and it felt painful.

"Blue scallops, green scallops, oblique wind and drizzle do not need to return." Master Lin opened the curtain and looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance. The drizzle was like a fine ink-splashed landscape painting. He shook his head and sighed. : "It's wind and rain. Today is the day of departure, I'm afraid the choice is not good."

Gao Chief hummed: "This is the election of the Qintian supervisor. I heard that the confused old men there are watching the stars at night and speculating for a month before they choose today's auspicious day. Humph, tell me to see, this is obviously false. The emperor's silver."

Lin Wanrong laughed a few times, but did not answer. When we reached the main camp in the north of the city, the sky was still gloomy, and only a trace of dawn light appeared on the side. In the camp, the torches were burning high and the sky was bright.

"General, you are here." Hu Bugui, Du Xiuyuan, Li Sheng, and Xu Zhen were all in line at the gate of the camp. They were all well-armed, and when they saw his carriage coming, they hurried over in surprise.

Lin Wanrong opened the curtain and got out of the car, cupped his fists and hugged his hands at everyone, and said with a smile, "Yo, everyone is here. Look at you, are you still worried that I won't come? When have I been a deserter?!"

Several people laughed. Seeing that his armor was neatly worn, but his legs were still bandaged, Du Xiuyuan whispered, "General, how is your injury?"

Lin Wanrong nodded: "Don't worry, it will recover in a few days. When we reach the front line, we will be able to race with the horses again."

Only then did Du Xiuyuan feel relieved. A few people were about to enter the camp, but saw a figure running out of the slash, blocking their way: "Lin San, you, your words don't count!"

The man blocking the road was thirteen or fourteen years old, his brows were wrinkled, his fists clenched, and he didn't know what kind of grievance he suffered. Lin Wanrong gave him a strange look and smiled: "Yo, isn't this a little plum, what's wrong, why can't I say anything?!"

Li Wuling snorted and didn't answer, Hu Bugui said, "General, Wuling wanted to go north with my army, so the commander gave the matter to Military Master Xu to deal with, but Miss Xu refused. She looked at the army today. He's about to leave, can he be in a hurry?!"

Lin Wanrong snorted, then remembered that when he came to the camp last time, Li Wuling was determined to follow him to the front line to kill the enemy. It's just that he is young and Li Tai's only grandson. The stakes are very important, and no one dares to make an assertion. Li Tai is also noncommittal, and only teaches Xu Zhiqing to deal with it. Li Wuling meant to ask him to talk to Xu Zhiqing.

Seeing Xiao Lizi's annoyed look, Lin Wanrong smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Why, hasn't your Aunt Xu agreed to this?!"

"It's no wonder she can agree!" Li Wuling said angrily: "I begged her for hundreds of things, but Aunt Xu has the same temperament as you, and she is stubborn. General Lin, Brother Lin, you promised to do this in the first place. Well, what do you say?!"

Master Lin and Miss Xu are now fighting a cold war, and they want to ask him to ask Xu Zhiqing, but he can't open his mouth no matter what.

"Otherwise, you can start with our army first," Lin Wanrong thought for a while and said, "When the army leaves the frontier, it will become an established fact. If Miss Xu wants to blame, there is nothing you can do."

"Okay—" Li Wuling was about to clapp his hands, but Du Xiuyuan hurriedly stopped him: "General, this is not feasible. Xu Jun is strict in managing the army, and the number of soldiers in the army is reported every day. If there is any concealment or omission, then military law will be required. Engage. If Wuling rushes into hiding in the army, once it is found out, depending on the temperament of military division Xu, it will definitely be dealt with strictly, and the crime of beheading is not impossible."

Hu Bugui and others had been training under Xu Zhiqing for a long time, and they nodded in agreement. Master Lin took a deep breath when he heard it, can't you, girl Xu is so violent?

"Therefore, if you really want Wuling to accompany the army, you can only go and have a good word with Xu Jun. I believe that with General Lin's demeanor, Miss Xu will definitely accept the general's words." Hu Bugui blinked at Lin Wanrong with a look on his face. Very ambiguous. He followed Lin Wanrong to Shandong, and saw with his own eyes that Master Lin hugged and hugged Master Xu. In addition to being angry, Master Xu never really scolded him. The relationship between the two can be imagined.

"This, let me think about it, ah, I'm in a hurry. The last thatched hut first-, now and then, Miss Xu and I have already been overwhelmed by the water. Master Lin looked distressed, so he was going to use an escape technique. Li Wuling Anxiously grabbed him: "General Lin, Brother Lin, I beg you, in another half an hour, the swearing-in meeting will be over. The army was really about to set off, and I had no hope at all. Quick, quick. I'll lead you to see Aunt Xu, please—"

With snot and tears, the boy pushed his wheelchair and walked to the camp. How could Master Lin, a disabled person, be his opponent? He shouted twice, but Li Wuling's pace became faster and faster.

Xu Zhiqing's tent was set up in the middle of the military camp, next to Li Tai's commanding camp. At this time, the swearing-in meeting was about to start, and the troops were being dispatched. For a while, people came and went, and groups of soldiers ran past Lin Wanrong with murderous aura, and the atmosphere was very tense.

"I said Xiao Lizi, can this matter be discussed again?" Thinking of going to see Xu Zhiqing, Lin Wanrong felt a little nervous: "That's good, I'll go directly to the general, he is the grand marshal, he said everything. Forget it."

Li Wuling shook his head and said, "My eldest brother Lin has come to this point, it's useless to find grandpa. He handed over the dispatch to Aunt Xu, and he will never interfere again. In a word, you push it back and forth, are you afraid that she will fail?"

All the tricks came out, Lin Wanrong hit a haha, and smiled bitterly.

Next to Li Tai's camp, there was a small tent, the curtain was slightly lifted, a dim yellow light came out, and some voices could be heard faintly.

"It's here," Li Wuling quietly lowered his voice, put his hands together, and said earnestly, "Brother Lin, you must do this for me. I, Li Wuling, will rely on you for the rest of my life. Please, please!"

This kid's words are sincere, and his heart to defend the country is quite rare. At this point, it is impossible to shirk. Lin Wanrong can only bite the bullet.

Li Wuling pushed him to the door of the tent, Lin Wanrong pretended to knock on the curtain twice, making a hoarse sound: "Excuse me, is there anyone inside?!"

"Who's making a noise?!" A clear man's voice came from the tent, very majestic.

Li Wuling, this kid, made me go to the wrong door. Lin Wanrong laughed and was about to step back, but the curtain had already been opened, and a mighty man walked out from inside. , very mighty. When he saw Lin Wanrong, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Isn't this General Lin? Why, you have already returned to the camp, are you here to see General Xu?!"

This is the young general who once took the initiative to ask Ying to compete with Lin Wanrong for the commander-in-chief of the right, called Yu Zongcai, Lin Wanrong has a good memory and naturally recognizes it clearly.

"It turned out to be General Yu," Lin Wanrong said with a clasped fist and a smile: "I'm disrespectful. You're so handsome, I don't know it at first glance. Excuse me, is this the camp of General Xu? I want to discuss it with her. some things."

"Shh," Yu Zongcai lowered his voice: "Miss Xu is thinking about the future itinerary of the army, so don't disturb her. If General Lin has anything to do, you might as well tell me first, and then I will tell Miss Xu."

tell you? Mr. Lin was dumbfounded, this Miss Xu is getting bigger and bigger, and she actually found this general to be the secretary. Lin Wanrong let out a long snort and said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, but there is a trivial matter related to my Dahua foundation for the next hundred years. I need to discuss it with Miss Xu. I don't know if it is inconvenient for the military to inform you? Oh, if It doesn’t matter if it’s inconvenient, I’m going to discuss with the general, it’s the same.”

Mr. Lin is very popular. When he first came up, it was about Dahua's future century-old foundation. Yu Zong did not dare to ignore it, and said cautiously: "General Lin, Miss Xu is really tired, can you tell me first, and then I will Report as appropriate."

This general is young and handsome, and he protects Xu Zhiqing again and again. I am afraid it is not as simple as a subordinate's reverence for the military division. Lin Wanrong smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Yu, this matter is very important. If I can reveal it, with the relationship between the two of us, why not let me show you a little bit? It's just that the matter is too big, and I don't dare to take the liberty of calling the shots. , please forgive me, brother!"

He was much younger than General Yu, but he kept calling out to his brother, laughing slyly, making General Yu not annoyed when he heard it.

You and I are assholes, General Yu snorted and was about to speak when a tired woman's voice came from the tent: "Who is making noise outside?!"

Yu Zongcai hurriedly said: "Miss Xu, it is the right-wing pioneer General Lin who is here. He said he has something important to see you!"

There was a muffled sound in the tent, and I don't know what happened. After a long silence, Xu Zhiqing's green voice came: "Brother Yu, please tell General Lin that the emperor is coming soon, and the army is about to start. .If there is anything, we will talk about it after the army leaves."

Yu Zongcai smiled and glanced at Lin Wanrong, indicating that I have reported the report, and Miss Xu said that she could not see you.

Lin Wanrong smiled and said casually: "Since Sergeant Xu doesn't want to listen, then forget it. Anyway, it is related to the foundation of Dahua in the future, and Sergeant Xu doesn't care much."

After he finished speaking, he turned his wheelchair and turned around and left. There was silence in the tent for a while before Xu Zhiqing's voice rang out, "General Lin please enter the account and talk."

Do you ask me to come in and I'll come in? Lin Wanrong snorted, and before he took a few steps, he was stopped by Yu Zongcai: "General Lin, Miss Xu invites you to pay."

Yu Zongcai was in awe of Xu Zhiqing and pushed Lin Wanrong into the camp. This big tent is not big, with a book and an oil lamp in front, but a small space separated by a curtain at the back, which is Miss Xu's temporary boudoir.

The oil lamp is dim. Xu Zhiqing's pretty face was clean and flawless, as crystal clear as a crown of jade. She was wearing a lavender dress, with a graceful figure, and there were bloodshot eyes in Danfeng's eyes. Obviously these days are not well rested.

Seeing Lin San come in, she glanced slightly, and saw that he was wearing armor. Although his face was black, his appearance was also very burly, and he seemed to be a different person from the giggling appearance of Qingri. It's just that his legs are still heavily wrapped, and he thinks that the injury is not yet clean.

Seeing that some lipstick primers faintly printed on his face have not been wiped clean, Miss Xu's eyelids drooped, and she said lightly, "General Lin returned to camp in time. It is really gratifying to add tiger wings to our army."

This is the first time the two have met since the quarrel at the visit that day. After not seeing her for a few days, Miss Xu's cheeks seem to have lost a lot of weight, and her figure is even more beautiful.

"Miss Xu is very polite," Lin Wanrong said with a hahaha: "Actually, I came to see you today. There is a major matter concerning the future rise and fall of Dahua, and I have to discuss it with Miss Xu—"

He paused and said nothing, Xu Zhiqing didn't know what he meant. Then he glanced at Yu Zongcai: "Brother Yu, go back to the marshal and say that I will be there later, so that the moment of swearing will not be delayed."

Yu Zongcai let out a slightly disappointed voice, glanced at Miss Xu secretly, lowered his head and went out. There were only two of them left in the tent, and the atmosphere was a little silent.

"Now General Lin can say, what exactly is going on, it concerns the future rise and fall of Dahua." Xu Zhiqing's expression was flat. Xianxian Su's hand lightly twisted the lamp, and the oil lamp made a crackling sound. Under the light, her crisp hands were glowing with crystal jade light.

Lin Wanrong took his eyes away from her and said in a low voice, "Actually, it's about Li Wuling—"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Miss Xu sneer: "This is what you said is about the rise and fall of China? You are so alarmist, are you joking about our military affairs?! Lord Lin, Concubine Lin, this is the army. In the middle, either the imperial court, or the most honorable princess of Dahua protecting you, the military law can handle you as well."

This girl is like eating gunpowder, her words are so ugly, Lin Wanrong's stubbornness also comes up, he snorted coldly, his old face darkened: "What a military law!!! Since military division Xu thinks I am alarmist, then do it. leave me-"

"You—" Xu Zhiqing stood up, her eyebrows raised slightly, her pretty face flushed. However, Lin Sanang was not afraid, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, as if he was going to fight her to the end. The two of them didn't say a few words, then they blushed again and had a thick neck, as if the scene of the visit that day had been repeated.

Neither of the two said a word, and the silence in the tent was terrifying. Only the sound of the fire and candles provoked by the oil lamps eased the tense atmosphere a little.

"No matter what you say, I will never allow Wuling to go north." Miss Xu snorted, and finally opened her mouth with unshakable firmness.

Lin Wanrong's smile was not salty or light: "The legs are on Xiao Lizi himself. He wants to go to the battlefield. Why do you stop him? Please give me a reason!"

She hated him the most for his bland, water-like appearance, like a tree stump, without even the slightest emotion, Miss Xu gritted her teeth and snorted: "What other reason is there, just because his surname is Li, he is the number one in Dahua. The only blood of the family of military generals, he can't go! Not to mention his young age, he will say that he is from the Li family, and it is the flag that will not fall in the hearts of my great Chinese soldiers. If he goes to the north, once an accident occurs, it will be a morale problem for our army. What kind of blow is it? How excited will the Hu people be? Do you know this?!"

Tears flickered in Xu Zhiqing's eyes, and she didn't know if it had aroused the sadness in her heart, but she held it back firmly and did not let the tears fall.

"Dahua's first family of generals?!" Lin Wanrong said disdainfully: "Miss Xu, what you said was in the past, and this title will no longer exist in the future."

"Nonsense! Why?!" Xu Zhiqing said stubbornly.

"Ms. Xu, are you really confused or fake?" Lin Wanrong snorted: "A descendant of the Li family who has never been on the battlefield, a Taiping Marquis who lives in Beijing, this is the first military general of Dahua who inherits it. Aristocratic family? Joke!!! Protected and kept in captivity by you like this, Dahua's first family of military generals will be destroyed in your hands, not to mention the ancestors of the Li family, that is General Li Tai, can he agree? "

Miss Xu said coldly: "Even if I protect the shortcoming, how will the Hu people be excited if Li Wuling has an accident, and how will our army be depressed? If the military's heart is lost, the war will be defeated. Have you ever considered it?! "

"Hahahaha-" Lin Wanrong burst out laughing loudly, her voice breaking through the tent, Xu Zhiqing was ashamed and annoyed: "What are you laughing at, can't you tell me?!"

"Miss Xu, why don't you think the other way? Li Wuling can't go to the battlefield, and there is no successor to Dahua's first general. Who is the happiest? Who is the most disappointed?" Lin Wanrong suppressed his laughter and sighed slightly. : "My opinion is exactly the opposite of yours. Hu people will be excited if Li Wuling can't go to the battlefield, because since then they have lost a terrible opponent, and Sergeant Dahua has lost a future commander, who is the pro- It hurts the enemy, and the enemy is quick, destroying the Great Wall. Isn't this damage to Dahua's future century-old foundation, and am I alarmist?"

He was eloquent, but what he said was not without reason. Miss Xu grimaced and said, "Even if you're not alarming, what if there is an accident in Wuling?! There is only such a trace of blood left in the Li family!!"

Lin Wanrong said angrily: "Miss Xu, I'm here to ask you, why is it that the children of other families can die in battle, but Li Wuling can't have an accident? Is it because he is Li Tai's grandson?! The style of your son of a high-ranking official. ,intolerable!!"

"I've never thought about the style of a high-ranking official's son." Miss Xu was also annoyed, and her voice subconsciously increased a lot.

"You don't think so, but you do it this way. Because Xiao Lizi is the direct grandson of General Li Tai, you automatically distinguish him from the rest of the world. Everyone else can die, but he cannot die. But have you ever thought about who of these thousands of soldiers and brothers is not raised by their mother? Who is not a darling? Who will be nobler than who? Li Wuling died in battle, some people may be sad, but that is the glory of a soldier , I have nothing to say. If the Li family is gone, there will still be the Wang family, the Qian family, and the Zhou family. I am a dwarf, and I have never lacked a backbone!! I will never object to enjoying the shadow of my ancestors, because it is the blood of my ancestors. Pay. You can enjoy it with peace of mind. But don't think of this kind of enjoyment as noble, as if everyone owes you. Miss Xu, it's hard to say, you are mistaking my Dahua foundation for your own selfishness. The wrong place is too far! - Hey, don't fight, I'll go, I'll go by myself!"

"Go out, get out now!" Miss Xu's shoulders trembled. scolded fiercely.

He only cared about what he said, how could Xu Zhiqing, a proud woman, endure such a censure from him. He was so angry that his cheeks turned pale, his red lips were about to bite, and the tears rolled down like broken beads. He grabbed the oil lamp with his little hand and was about to throw it at him.

Yu Zongcai was waiting outside the tent. Hearing this, he rushed in in a hurry, seeing Xu Zhiqing's face full of tears, his face became anxious. Huo shouted and rushed to Lin Wanrong.

"Brother Yu, what are you doing?!" Xu Zhiqing was shocked, unable to wipe away her tears, she hurriedly stood in front of Lin Wanrong and scolded Yu Zongcai.

Yu Zong was stunned: "Miss Xu, didn't General Lin bully you?!"

Xu Zhiqing stared at the flickering candle, and said lightly, "Big Brother Yu made a mistake, what did he bully me for? I just thought of the sad thing. What did I do with him when I cried myself?!"

Yu Zongcai didn't know if what she said was true or not, but when he saw Lin San Thief's frowning eyes, his appearance was very strange. He snorted and clasped his fists at Lin Wanrong, but there was a smile on his face: "General Lin forgives his sins, Zong Cai almost misunderstood the general, please forgive me."

"Look at what you said, brother, am I such a bad person?" Master Lin smiled and hid the hidden weapon in his arms, and patted Yu Zongcai on the shoulder affectionately.

Xu Zhiqing's expression gradually recovered. Seeing the demeanor of the two in front of her, she snorted: "Brother Yu, General Lin, please go back first, then the pledge will begin soon."

Lin Wanrong sighed, hehe said: "Then what I said to Miss Xu just now—"

Which pot is not open to mention, Miss Xu's expression changed, and she said angrily: "I have already answered you, do you want me to say it again? I still have something to do. Brother Yu, send General Lin to you. go out."

This girl's stubborn temper is really on par with mine. Seeing that Miss Xu's cheeks were frosty, Lin Wanrong knew that this was definitely not going to happen, so she snorted and walked out of the tent.

Before the army set off, the Pioneer on the right had a few rounds of quarrels with Military Sergeant Xu. It was rumored that no one would believe it. Lin Wanrong returned to his camp gloomily. Du Xiuyuan and others were already in an orderly formation, waiting for him to return, but the boy Li Wuling was nowhere to be seen.

"Did you say it?!" Hu Bugui asked carefully when he saw that his face was not good.

"Woman, woman," Lin Wanrong shook his head and sighed bitterly, answering the question: "This mind is too difficult to figure out. Brother Hu, go and inform Xiao Lizi and tell him to stay at home and be a Taiping Marquis!"

Seeing that this matter has come to an end, everyone also feels regret. Since following General Lin, this is the first time he has lost his hand, or is it lost in the hands of Miss Xu.

The drizzle continued, and the sky gradually became brighter. On the north side of the military field, a huge point of 30 feet in height and about 20 feet in length and width was built. pergola. The golden dragon flag fluttered, the handsome flag fluttered, and the atmosphere was sluggish in the lustful rain.

On both sides of the platform, there is a man who came to the highland cowhide drum, and thousands of wooden stakes are erected in front of them, tied with countless cows, which are used for sacrificial flags.

The old emperor was wearing his crown, and his expression was solemn. The drizzle hit his face, but he didn't feel the slightest bit.

"Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come!" Supervisor Qin Tian shouted loudly, and the emperor nodded slightly to Li Tai.

The general tiger stepped forward, his full head of white hair looked extremely desolate and tragic in the wind and rain, he swept his eyes in all directions, and said in a long voice: "Swear to break the captives, defend me. Soldiers-"

"Drums, soldiers—"

"Drums, soldiers—"

The orders were passed down from north to south, layer by layer, and there was an endless stream of singing voices.

"Dong-dong-", the dull and huge drum sound, cut through the silence of the sky, and startled the sleeping birds in the forest. The camps in all directions rang out at once, the sound of trumpets, the sound of horses’ hooves, the sound of footsteps, the sound of armour rubbing, and the sound of knives and guns colliding, like heavy woods hitting the ground, with an incomparable momentum.

The army in the camp is already ready to go. The sound of two drums had just passed, and the three armies had already assembled. Looking around, the military field was filled with blackness, and it was full of human heads.

Hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, all with bright armor, solemn expressions, swords, spears, swords and halberds, flickering with cold light. In the middle are the elite soldiers of the Shenji battalion, with tens of thousands of archers and crossbowmen, and hundreds of artillery pieces that have been completely redesigned, with their dark barrels pointing straight to the sky. On the right side of the riding camp, the horses entered the line, the knights entered the column, and the saber and long spear in his hand flashed a faint cold light, which was daunting. Although there are many soldiers and generals, the entire military field is silent, not even the neighing of the war horse. Li Tai's military training is indeed well-deserved.

The servant of the Ministry of Rites read out the military edict, grieved the calamity of the Turks, the hearts of the barbarians, and killed countless people in Dahua, coveting the vast expanse of fertile land in Dahua. Emperor Dahua conformed to the will of the gods and the people, and millions of heroic teachers rose up in groups.

I don't know who drafted this edict, it was obscure and difficult to understand, and Lin Wanrong couldn't hold on to it after half of it. Looking at his own queue, he suddenly saw the shadow of Li Wuling. This boy wearing armor and armor, looking like Zhou Zheng, stood in the middle of the queue, listening to the edict with great concentration, his cheeks flushed with excitement.

"You kid looking for death?!" Lin Wanrong urgently ordered Gao Chief to drag him over and patted him heavily on the head: "Sneak to my camp on the right, if your Aunt Xu finds out, you will be dealt with by military law. , who can protect you."

Li Wuling smiled indifferently and said, "General Lin, Brother Lin, you are so powerful, are you afraid of my Aunt Xu?"

Lin Wanrong was not stimulated by him, he laughed a few times and said: "It's useless to say too much, I have tried my best, I can't stand your aunt's temper. You should go back and stay honest, I have If it's empty, I'll get you a Turkic daughter-in-law and come back to play with you."

Li Wuling cut off in disdain: "Even Aunt Xu asked me to come. What am I going to do?"

"Who, who asked you to come?!" Master Lin hurriedly plucked his ears and asked seriously.

"Why, didn't you persuade Aunt Xu?!" This time it was Li Wuling's turn to be surprised: "She personally asked me to join your army!"

Departure is imminent. Li Wuling would never joke about this kind of thing, so it was really what Miss Xu meant. Lin Wanrong was also a little stupid, and hurriedly looked around for Xu Zhiqing, but among the hundreds of thousands of people, there was nowhere to see her shadow.

"Kill Hulu, defend me Dahua!" Hundreds of thousands of troops gathered into a boundless ocean, all of them flushed, and their swords and guns were raised high. Qi Qi shouted. The monstrous heat wave seemed to cover even the continuous spring rain.

Lin Wanrong looked up. But it turned out to be the old emperor's words: "-- those who enter will be rewarded, and those who retreat will be executed. My thousands of words have all been turned into one sentence--those who offend my great China will be punished even if they are far away! I will be at this point. Taiwan, on the 15th day of the eighth month, when the full moon is full. I look forward to the triumphant return of all the soldiers.

The emperor drank the big bowl of spirits in one go, and then dropped the sea bowl heavily. Tens of thousands of soldiers held high sea bowls at the same time and drank all the spirits. The sound of porcelain bowls breaking one after another, in an endless stream.

"Sacrificial flag—" Li Tai gave a long drink, and thousands of knights jumped out at the same time.

"Kill it—" More than a thousand cavalry galloped wildly on horseback, and hurried to the bottom of the stage, looking at the oxen and beasts tied to the altar, raised their knives and dropped their knives, their movements neatly like a icy cold light. The heads of thousands of livestock were cut down at the same time. Blood splattered all over the school grounds. The knights held the bloody head high and ran back quickly, the blood light aroused the murderous aura of the soldiers.

"Kill ah-"

"Kill ah-"

Hundreds of thousands of people raised their swords and guns, shouting in unison, and the momentum reached the sky, shaking the sky. The people around Xu Zhen, Hu Bugui, and others, their eyes were red, bloody, and their thick voice made Lin Wanrong's eardrums buzzing. make a sound.

The general's white hair fluttered against the wind in the sporadic light rain. He stood against the wind and swung his long sword forward sharply: "Children, let's go—"

The thumping drums of war sounded like spring thunder struck everyone's heart. Hundreds of thousands of troops, like long snakes lined up in a row, braved the spring rain to head straight to the north, the flags flying high, like the mood of every soldier on the expedition, excited and tragic.

Thousands of people, surrounding the road, ran along with the team, and the soldiers who could not see the side, and the people on both sides, merged into a huge blue dragon.

This time, I am afraid that it is life and death. The white-haired old lady, the newly-married Yan Erdi sweet wife, the children under Cheng Huan's knees, shouted the names of their relatives over and over again, tears running dry, just looking forward to seeing the person in their dreams again. Occasionally found relatives, they hugged tightly together, never want to separate. The bags of dried fruits and melons, whether they knew it or not, were stuffed straight into the hands of the soldiers.

"The most difficult part is parting!" The tragic and desolate atmosphere made Hu Bugui, a veteran who had been fighting with the Hu people for many years, couldn't help but his eyes were wet, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Looking at the countless wives and mothers who are dragging their children and taking their daughters, looking forward to it, and crying so hard, this kind of shock is not experienced. , indescribable in words. Suddenly he hated war more than ever.

"Brother, Xianggong——" There was a coquettish cry from there, but Ning'er was wearing the brightest shirt, pedaling on the top of the carriage, like a butterfly wearing flowers, and shaking desperately in the sound of tears. With a small hand, the tears have long since become tears. Qing Xuan had a big belly, and the eldest lady hugged her tightly, Qiaoqiao, Yushuang, Xian'er...they crowded with everyone, moving step by step with the crowd, moving towards him again and again wave.

"Ning'er, Qingxuan, Xian'er, Yushuang, Yuruo, Qiaoqiao, you all take care, take care--" Lin Wanrong waved his hands with all his might, like a maddened flood. .

In the hazy eyes of tears, those familiar faces slowly drowned in the sea of ​​people, gradually getting farther and farther away.
