Chapter 97
"Young Envoy Tang is living a good life in Lingyue City...?"
"Pavilion Master Xun! You, why are you here?"
"If I don't come again, the city of Luojing guarded by Young Envoy Tang will soon be taken down by Xia Danxi. Young Envoy Tang is also in a good mood, do you still have the time to drink tea here?"
"...What?" Tang Ji hurriedly stood up upon hearing the words, "What did Lord Xun say?"
"Luojing City was besieged after you left, and now it is being severely beaten. You also recognize the people who besieged the city, and it is your old friend——Lord Luoyan Navy Admiral Xia Danxixia."
"Danxi?! Danxi, he, isn't he..."
"Didn't I drive him away from King Cheng?" Xun Chang covered his lips, "I drove him away, but he was a loyal servant who was so jealous by his master but still refused to give up and assembled privately. There are 2 people around Luojing, and he has always been good at attacking, maybe by the time General Xie's reinforcements arrive, Luojing City has already been captured by him?"
***
Xie Lv was convinced by Xun Chang, so it is not wise to say anything about bad things.
The gate of Luojing City was closed tightly, and a large "Cheng" flag was flying above the city tower, and a team rushed over, and the sky here also began to drizzle with fine snow.
too cold.Xie Lv immediately decided to make a quick decision.
"Xun Chang! Oh, you shameless person dare to come?"
The young general above the city tower should be that "Xia Danxi".Xie Lv was very relieved. After fighting so many places in the past six months, it was the first time that he was not the first to bear the brunt of being scolded by the enemy general.
"On that day, I pretended to be pitiful, tried my best to bewitch me in front of King Cheng, and personally issued the poisonous curse of 'if you don't give your highness the slightest bit of heart and soul, the whole family will be punished with thunderbolts', but now they are blatantly blatantly in King Ning's army. Are you really not afraid of retribution?! Poor His Royal Highness Cheng Wang would still believe in you, it is simply absurd! A villain like you will suffer retribution and die a terrible death!"
"Retribution or something, anyway, I have no family anymore." Xun Chang spread his hands, with a look of indifference, "What's more, don't say that none of you more than [-] people will stay alive, even if you bring all these things behind you. The defeated soldiers go back and tell Xiao~Yu~cheng that I am here, do you think he will believe you again? Hmm?"
"You! Shameless male pet charms the master, you still have the face—!"
Xun Chang smiled when he heard the words, stretched out his hands and said with a giggle: "Xun is a foxy, not only foxy, but also prone to flirtatious. But His Royal Highness Cheng Wang likes me as a foxy and charming master, and doesn't like you. What can you do to me who has no appearance and no interest?"
"You! Really lowly is lowly, a dog can't spit out ivory! I am a dignified court military officer, who would hide in the dark like you to hide people!"
"Ah? But after all you talk about, don't you just hate yourself for not being able to grab me~ You might as well admit it generously, you can see at a glance that you are not as beautiful as me, and few people will laugh at you."
Xia Danxi was so angry that she almost vomited blood.Turning his eyes around the city, the second person to be scolded was actually not Xie Lv.
"Tang Ji! I regard you as a brother. I have talked to you all these years! You are good. The whole Maple Leaf Villa has been deceiving me from top to bottom, and deceiving His Royal Highness Cheng Wang!"
Tang Ji was not as shameless as Xun Chang, and he was ashamed when he heard the words: "Danxi, I—"
"Need to talk anymore! Ten years of friendship is nothing more than a joke on your side. In this case, Xia Mouquan should be fed to the dog! Today I will take the heads of you two thieves, so that I can give my master an explanation!"
So, this pot of hatred is none of my business at all, is it?
Xie Lu was completely ignored by the enemy generals, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
But the city was full of gongs and drums, and the heavily armored Lin Lin who was fighting in the open city gate was directly facing the troops commanded by General Zhenyuan.Xie Lv heard from Xiao Luo that Xia Danxi was one of his old enemies in the past. Seeing that the opponent's army was so tight that he had fought in the past half a year, he was gearing up for a test, but was dragged away by Tang Ji behind him. pull the sleeves.
"Thank you, General! That General Xia, he..."
"Huh? What's wrong with him?"
"If he can be captured alive, General Xie, please don't hurt his life. After all, after all, Xia Danxi is a talent, if he can keep His Highness King Liang for use—"
Uh, no matter how you look at it, it's not that King Liang wants to keep him, it's yourself, you don't want your friend to die, right?
"Young envoy Tang, the swords of the two armies have no eyes, but I will do my best."
As long as it is a history book, there must be scenes of you attacking me and I beating you, and you are not unfamiliar at all.
But when he really saw the real fighting battle on the battlefield, Murongzhi had another feeling.
Every living life was annihilated in the dust in a blink of an eye.The sound of the ax and the shadow of the sword, stumps and broken arms, roars and wailing, mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
People in the world always have their own hardships and grievances.
Otherwise, if a seven-foot man is not plowing the fields at home, carrying water, teasing his wife and children, how many of them are willing to put their heads on their trouser waists and fight for a bright future from the bones?
Murong Zhi always felt that his life was miserable.
Seeing that other people have homes, companions, and love, while I am alone guarding an empty palace, it seems that I will be so lonely and lonely for a lifetime in the long time.
Loneliness is suffering, but don't others have all kinds of difficulties?
Anyway, he is now in the back of the battle, surrounded by Xie Lv's cronies who are guarding him to death, so he insisted on coming with Xie Lv - otherwise, if he insisted on Xie Lv, he should still be here today. In the warm general's mansion in Lingyue City, it's warm and warm, and everything you eat, drink, and use is first-class, so you don't have to think about anything, just wait for Xie Lu to come back.
And these people with broken hands and feet have become skeletons, maybe everyone has unfulfilled wishes, maybe everyone still misses their family members, their grievances, their sufferings, have become piles of bones, and they are gone again. Who should I talk to?
And their family members, thousands of miles away, could not even see their last face.
Looking anxiously at Xie Lu's blood-red battle robe shuttling among the thousands of troops, Murong Zhi closed his eyes and prayed for his safe return.But in the end, he is a general, and he is highly skilled in martial arts, no one can get close to him, most likely he will come back safely.
Those who have today but no tomorrow are those soldiers whose names will not be recorded regardless of victory or defeat.
The entire battle lasted less than two hours.There is not much difference in the strength of the two sides, but the "Great General Zhenyuan Zhaoming" is by no means in vain. Murongzhi only listens to the left and right, and the opponent's guard Xia Danxi led a group of temporarily recruited soldiers to last for so long. It is dead. I have no regrets.
However, Xia Danxi didn't die, she was only caught and locked up by Xie Lu.He refused to surrender, and scolded Xun Chang and Tang Ji all the way.
So stubborn, Sheng Sheng was locked up in the dungeon in the city until the night, Tang Ji sat there with him until the night.It should be that all the good and bad words have been persuaded, after all, Xia Danxi is still young, and he can't really treat death as home.
So at the banquet in Maple Leaf Villa Luojing Beppu that night, Xie Lu and Xia Danxi, who were sworn enemies in the afternoon, pretended to sit side by side.During the singing and dancing, Xie Lu only cared about drinking and eating meat, and all the entertainment was handled by the landlord Tang Ji.
As the general of the defeated army, Xia Danxi was naturally not in high spirits, so she just lowered her head and drank the wine.
"It's been 20 years. I have been with King Cheng since I was a child, and I have been with His Royal Highness Cheng Wang for 20 years."
After drinking for three rounds, his cheeks turned red, his eyes blurred, and he finally began to laugh to himself.
"Twenty years, but it can't compare to the mere months of bewilderment of that monster."
"Since he got Xun Chang, His Royal Highness King Cheng only believed in Xun Chang. He did what the man asked him to do, and he couldn't listen to anyone's persuasion. In the past, Xia once heard that the king was confused after he got the fox demon girl." The world is still half-doubting, but after seeing that person, they finally know that the story of the demon fox deceiving the Lord may be true."
"Even though I was slandered by Xun Chang and rejected by my master, I am still not convinced, thinking that His Royal Highness Cheng Wang is clearly a person who has already stepped on the jade steps-but now it seems that everything is too late, Fate. Even if Chengwang's mansion falls to the current state, even if the whole world knows that Xun Chang is Liangwang's man except His Royal Highness Chengwang, it will be useless."
"He still dares to swagger back to King Cheng. King Cheng will continue to pamper and trust him. With such ability, I really... have nothing to say."
"Forget it, I was originally an official of the imperial court, a captain of the Luoyan Navy in Daxia, not a guest under the curtain of His Highness King Cheng."
As he spoke, he filled his wine glass with a wry smile and respected Xie Lvtong Tang Ji: "The guilty minister Xia Ming led the army without dispatch and attacked the important town of Luojing. In the future, the court will punish you. I hope that General Xie and Shao Envoy Tang will spare no effort to help my family." Ask the emperor for a few words of love."
Tang Ji accompanied him to do it, Xie Lu glanced at his side, leaned over and asked Xiao Luo: "A Zhi just said to go out for a drink, why haven't you come back after so long?"
***
Murong Zhi shouldn't be outside the city.
Just now during the banquet, I drank two cups too much and felt dizzy. I was going out to take a few breaths of cold air, but I happened to see a team of soldiers cleaning the battlefield outside the courtyard coming back from outside the city with lamps and torches.
Outside the city, there are still lights in twos and threes.In the vast snow field, there were no longer corpses strewn across the field like in the daytime, but Murongzhi walked out all the way, and in several places buried deep in the snow, he could still see scattered dead corpses that had been missed by the cleaning team.
Leaving it like this is not good after all.If the snow melts early, it will inevitably melt into the moat and cause a plague...
Seeing that no one was around anyway, Murong Zhi stretched out his long sleeves, controlled the corpses to get up, and led them slowly towards the mass grave where the corpses were buried in the suburbs.
There are a few dilapidated wind lanterns hanging on the mass grave, but a tall and lonely figure is reflected.The black cloak flutters in the wind like a ghost, like black fireworks.
Murong Zhi only thought that he really saw a ghost, and silently took a step back, but the ghost turned around with a ferocious smile on his face.
"Paper, I found you."
