The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 596 Father's Love Is Like a Mountain (Part 2)

Empress Dowager Zhuang sat in the carriage and witnessed the hunt with her own eyes.

That's right, hunting.

She knows how powerful the Dragon Shadow Guards are. Strictly speaking, the Dragon Shadow Guards brought by General Nangong are stronger than Zhao Kingdom's Dragon Shadow Guards. There is nowhere to display their martial arts, they have become prey in the forest, and let the ghost-faced army hunt and kill them all!

This is a tactical advantage and an overwhelming momentum.

Xuan Pinghou seems to be born with an aura, he puts a pestle there and does nothing, and the aura of Lao Tzu's number one in the world is well controlled!

Of course, bluffing is not acceptable, he must have excellent military strength and strength.

Facts have proved that Xuan Pinghou has done it all.

Once upon a time, the Empress Dowager Zhuang thought that the most proficient general in Zhao Kingdom was Gu Chao, the Marquis of Ding'an. Now that she saw Marquis Xuan Ping's methods of dealing with the Dragon Shadow Guards of the Kingdom of Yan, she knew how much Marquis Xuan Ping understood and controlled the battlefield and tactics. Has become proficient to the point that no one can match.

If such a person was born in a big family like the Nangong family, it is unknown what achievements he would have made.

The hunting ended after a short time, leaving a few survivors.

"The captives were taken back for interrogation, and the rest should be cleaned up and buried."

To clean up means to surrender the opponent's weapons and property. On this point, Xuan Pinghou and Gu Jiao's approach is highly consistent, and they must not waste any war resources.

As for the proper disposal of the corpse, it is mainly to prevent the plague.

Seeing that the general situation was over, General Nangong lost his arm again. He didn't care to fight against the young sect master of Anyemen, so he threw a piece of black powder, turned around and fled!

Chang Jing chased after him coldly with a long sword in his hand!

Xuan Pinghou was not worried about Chang Jing's safety, except for those old things and Long Yi in the capital, almost no one could touch Chang Jing, let alone Nangong Li's broken arm.

Xuan Ping Hou came to Empress Dowager Zhuang's carriage, got off the horse, and bowed to the closed curtain: "I am late to save you, which surprised the Empress Dowager."

Xuan Pinghou didn't really come to greet him, Empress Dowager Zhuang glanced at Xiao Heng beside her, and said: "Go, let your father take you back, Ai's family is going back to the palace tonight."

Xiao Heng: You obviously made an appointment with Aunt Liu to play leaf cards.

"Go." The Empress Dowager Zhuang said.

Xiao Heng reluctantly got out of the carriage.

Xuan Pinghou picked out a docile horse for him: "I'm in a hurry, I don't have a carriage, come on, you ride this."

Xiao Heng came to the horse with a blank face,

Grabbing the saddle, he was about to step on the stirrups.

Xuan Pinghou suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed his waist, and planned to lift him up like a child, but Xiao Heng turned his face lightly: "I'm not a child anymore! I can ride a horse!"

Xuan Pinghou withdrew his hand resentfully.

Xiao Heng really stepped on the stirrup, turned over neatly and sat on it.

Xuan Pinghou was astonished: "You really have grown up."

Xuan Pinghou also got on his horse, his horse was much wilder than Xiao Heng's horse, as soon as he got close to Xiao Heng's horse, he started to be aggressive and bully it!

Xiao Heng's horse was terrified!

Xuan Pinghou pulled the rein impatiently, and threatened: "Stop talking to me again, I'll stew you when I go back!"

Then his horse behaved honestly.

I don't know if it was to please himself, the stinky master who has no conscience, no martial arts, and no love for his mount. He even rubbed his head against Xiao Heng's horse's head like a dog.

Xiao Heng's horse was even more frightened.

Xuan Ping Hou: "..."

Marquis Xuanping's horse: "..."

At this time, Mrs. Zhuang on the other side was caught by Xuan Pinghou's people. This old man is not shallow. According to Xuan Pinghou's temperament, he doesn't follow the routine in the yamen, so he has to be killed now. .

Xiao Heng said: "I promised Prince An to save his grandfather's life."

Although Xuan Pinghou really wanted to crush that old guy to death, but since his son said so, it is not impossible to spare his life, anyway, living is suffering, so let him live a life worse than death.

Xiao Heng opened his mouth first. Although he said something happened, Xuan Pinghou was still very happy. He smiled: "Son, why did you think of writing to me? Do you think your father is the most reliable?"

Xiao Heng squinted at him: "I just don't want Jiaojiao to go to war again."

Gu Jiao is bound to accompany the Gu family army.

Xuan Pinghou sat on the horse, leaned to the side, leaned towards his son and said: "The Gu family army is not as powerful as my ghost-faced army. They will have a lot of casualties against the Dragon Shadow Guards, but my ghost-faced army will not."

The ghost-faced army is originally a high-end combat force, with a small number of people, but its combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and it is perfect for dealing with the dead soldiers of Yan State.

Xiao Heng said sternly: "The Gu family army is large in scale, and its combat power is not bad."

Xuan Pinghou gave me a face, "I don't listen, I don't listen: "Anyway, you came to me, and in your heart, I am strong!"

It's even better than this for such an adult, Xiao Heng simply doesn't want to talk to him anymore.

Xiao Heng wanted the horse to go faster, but he didn't have a whip in his hand, he hesitated for a moment, and said lightly: "Can you make it go faster?"

Xuan Pinghou said shamelessly, "Impossible."

I just want to spend more time with my son!

Xiao Heng took a deep breath, squeezed the rein tightly, and said: "There is a shortcut near here, go there!"

The corner of Xuan Pinghou's mouth twitched.

Hold!

Forget about this!

Xiao Heng led the way, and got off the official road at a fork in the road. There is a village here, and crossing a small stream can save half the distance.

However, when Xiao Heng got to the stream, he realized... the stream had risen!

Xiao Heng's face darkened instantly, is he so unlucky?

This is because the snow on the top of the mountain melted, and the snow water merged into a stream and flowed down. The water that was originally only a shallow layer did not reach the thigh at the moment, and the deepest part may not exceed it.

On top of that, the stream is still running a little fast.

Xiao Heng's horse didn't leave without saying anything.

Xuan Pinghou's mount is eager to try, but the depth of the water is unpredictable, and riding on a horse is not very safe.

It was hard to lead the way once, but it turned out to be this. It would be a lie to say that it is not embarrassing.

Xiao Heng gritted his teeth, but decided to turn back, as long as you lose face, you will lose face.

Unexpectedly, before he opened his mouth, Xuan Pinghou uttered a sound first, he got off his horse and said to Xiao Heng: "Come on down, walk over."

Xiao Heng is a big man now, and his bottom line is to turn back, but if he says in front of his own father that I can't swim, he can't say it.

He took a deep breath, got off his horse, put his heart on the line, and strode towards the rushing stream.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his feet stepped on the water, they were grabbed by a pair of powerful palms and thrown on his back.

Xiao Heng was spinning for a while, and when he realized it, Xuan Pinghou had already carried him on his back, supported his legs with both hands, and fell down the icy river without hesitation.

On the battlefield and encountering all kinds of harsh terrain and extremely dangerous terrain, for Xuan Pinghou, this level of stream can flow through with his eyes closed, but when he is alone, it doesn't matter if he falls or bumps .

Now that he has a son on his back, he has become extra cautious, not daring to take every step easily.

Always step on it in a circle to choose the most suitable footing point.

When a person has the weight of a certain person in his heart, his life has his weight at the same time.

A stream less than two feet wide, Xuan Ping Hou walked for a long time, he did not let Xiao Heng feel the slightest stagger.

After walking to the opposite bank, Xuan Pinghou was completely soaked under his waist and abdomen.

Xiao Heng only slightly wet his shoes.

Xuan Pinghou didn't intend to let him go, and continued to walk forward with his back.

Xiao Heng lay on his back and said seriously: "Put me down, I will go by myself."

Xuan Pinghou walked steadily and steadily, striding like flying, his wet military boots stepped on the ground, creaking: "This is a mountain road, so it's not easy to walk."

Behind the two, where Xiao Heng could not see, the blood in the stream was washed away by the waves.

Marquis Xuan Ping carried Xiao Heng up and down the mountain, water dripped from his body all the way.

At first Xiao Heng really thought it was all water drops, but gradually, with the reduction of water drops, a stronger and stronger bloody smell gradually spread on Xuan Pinghou's body.

Xiao Heng frowned, and looked back to the ground.

Under the thin moonlight, there were bloody footprints printed on the ground.

"Are you injured?" Xiao Heng asked in surprise.

Xuan Pinghou did not personally use force when he fought against the Yan people, so it should not be a new injury just now.

Xuan Pinghou hummed casually: "Small injury."

There is no one who is not injured on the battlefield. Over the years, he has had countless injuries, large and small. The most serious one was a waist injury many years ago. He was injured three times in the same place, which was the root cause of the disease.

This time it was also because of a recurrence of the back injury during the last battle, and he was accidentally stabbed twice, one on the back and one on the thigh.

When he received Xiao Heng's letter, he was sewing stitches in the barracks.

Xiao Heng was suddenly very angry: "Why didn't you tell me you were hurt! You still ride a horse! Drip in water! Walk! Carry people on your back!"

Xuan Pinghou suddenly stopped in his tracks, and turned his head slightly: "Heng, are you concerned about me?"

Xiao Heng choked and turned his face away: "I don't."
