A small spark exploded in the wick, and the last drop of wax flowed down and burned up.
Feeling dizzy in the tent, Rong Luoyun got up and went to the cabinet to search for two brand new red candles. Huo Linfeng sat behind the table, paused his pen, glanced at the sky beyond the gap in the curtain, and asked, "What time is it?"
Rong Luoyun said: "The fifth watch is about to pass, and it's almost dawn."
Huo Linfeng withdrew his gaze: "Then don't light the candles, it will burn my eyes overnight."
Rong Luoyun held the two red candles, disobedient, lit one and put it farther away, then went to the tent and rolled up the curtain, the light and the morning breeze broke in together. He still went to the shelf to clean his face, after tidying himself up, he twisted the wet handkerchief and went to the table to hand it over.
After writing a sentence, Huo Linfeng put down his pen, took the veil and wiped his face. The army plan was stolen, and the arrangements had to be re-planned. This night, I really didn't dare to relax for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Rong Luoyun asked.
Huo Linfeng replied: "It will be one third." Rong Luoyun had been with him for several hours, his peach blossom eyes were still bright, but the light blue under the eyelids was distressing. He raised his hand to hold Rong Luoyun's face, with calluses on his fingertips, so he stroked gently under his eyes, and said: "The number of soldiers and horses is huge, and the battle arrangement took nearly half a month to make, even if it is urgent, it can't be sloppy."
Rong Luoyun nodded: "Your notebook is still there, can't you follow the old plan?"
Huo Linfeng said: "Brother's share is indeed a backup, but the backup is designed on a formal basis. If there is any leak, it will be convenient for us to deduce our army's plan."
Just as he was talking, Huo Jinghai came over from the deputy commander's tent, and before returning to the camp, he was exhausted all night. Rong Luoyun hurriedly took a step back, cupped his face and caressed it, it was amazing to be seen by others.
Feeling guilty, he lowered his head and moved aside to add water and ink quietly.
Huo Jinghai didn't notice the clue, and couldn't take this situation into consideration, so he said bluntly, "Linfeng, I've arranged for the soldiers and horses on the first floor." soldier.
Huo Linfeng caught the look, maybe he had been tense for too long, so he couldn't help but relax and said: "Brother Cejun has always been fast, my experience is a bit thin."
Huo Jinghai said: "Okay, you are better than me in the matter of instigating the army, so why not compliment me carelessly." At this time, he had no intention of joking, nor did he have an easy-going temper, "If there is no problem, we will arrange it again immediately."
A box of vermilion ink pad, Huo Linfeng held the commander's seal and pressed it, and left his own mark at the end of the booklet. "Arrangement." He ordered, "Only spies are left between the Blue Lake and the camp, and the camp gathers troops to prepare for battle from today."
The opponent blatantly attacked and declared war for the theft of secrets.
Chen Ruoyin lost the secret letter, and it seemed that she couldn't sit still anymore.
Huo Jinghai took the order to do it, but Huo Linfeng and Rong Luoyun were left in the tent, and no one spoke for a while. After the ink was finished, Rong Luoyun stood with his hands down, and couldn't help but look out of the tent.
Huo Linfeng caught a glimpse of it, and stared at it for a moment, then pulled him towards him. He hugged her, seemingly gentle, but in fact clasped Rong Luoyun's shoulder like iron claws.
"Like a bird about to break out of its cage." Huo Linfeng described, "What are you thinking about?"
Rong Luoyun turned his face slightly, as if hiding: "It's nothing, I'll see if it's dawn."
Huo Linfeng let out a low hum, and said, "You want to go out." He pulled Rong Luoyun over and faced each other, "You can travel in all directions on your own, and you want to find Qin Xun's traces, don't you?"
Xu Shi's tone was gentle, and Rong Luoyun didn't hear the meaning of reproach, so he was so stupid that he asked back with bright eyes: "How do you know if you don't try it, do you think it's okay?"
Huo Linfeng scolded immediately: "Fuck you, just wait for me."
Rong Luoyun was stunned by the scolding, and looked at Huo Linfeng's sinking face, feeling a little apprehensive. He moved closer, and then even closer, and leaned his head against Huo Linfeng's shoulder. This was a very obedient gesture, his thin lips moved slightly, but he uttered an extremely annoying sentence: "You Shenlong can't catch up invisible, and you won't let it go!" Bafangyou makes a move, it really doesn't make sense."
Huo Linfeng rubbed the bun until it tingled. Hearing these words, his heart and liver were choked to smoke again. "I don't make sense?" He scolded the white-eyed wolf, "If you can't catch up, that's all. What if you catch up and get caught by Qin Xun?"
Rong Luoyun frowned and said, "Can't you expect me to order?"
Huo Linfeng was very happy: "I hope you are a Bodhisattva, a god, is it useful?" He squeezed the back of Rong Luoyun's neck and pulled it away, like pinching a bobcat, pinching a wolf cub, forcing the other party to look up into his eyes, "Even if your lightness skill is better than Qin Xun, if you are captured by him, can you beat it?"
This is embarrassing, but it is the truth, Rong Luoyun hesitated and said: "At any rate, he is my uncle, so he shouldn't..."
Huo Linfeng is so fierce: "I cut off my robe back then, forgot? You and Duan Huaike have the same attitude, what are you talking about now?" The topic changed, and it was choking and embarrassing, "Besides, you are His nephew, then I am his nephew-in-law, what are you doing stealing from me?"
Rong Luoyun was slapped with embarrassment, and the back of his neck was still hot from pinching, he shook his head and struggled away, walked to the side of the bed with a lot of anger, and sat there with his buttocks. He drew out his long sword, grabbed the skin of the deer neck and wiped it vigorously, like a butcher sharpening his knife.
After staring at it for a while, Huo Linfeng said helplessly, "Don't worry about it, just sleep for a while."
Rong Luoyun said coldly: "Since the whole army is preparing for war, I will also be preparing."
Huo Linfeng worried to death: "What are you preparing for? I'm talking about the blue lake for nothing?" He didn't allow Rong Luoyun to go to the battlefield. He didn't know about Chi's army before, but now he knows that Chi's army has Qin Xun in command, let alone discuss.
The long sword shone coldly, Rong Luoyun didn't say a word, just rubbed blindly, stabbed, the deer neck skin brushed against the blade and tore in two. When the wolf cub heard it, he showed his animal face, bared his teeth and claws, and howled.
Rong Luoyun was drawn into a wildness, and said: "Don't think about telling me to sit and wait for death, I'm going to the battlefield."
Huo Linfeng patted the table: "You are not Ding Beijun, if you don't allow it, you don't allow it!"
Rong Luoyun said: "Since I'm not Dingbei Army, you can't control me."
He raised his sword and stood up, his eyebrows and eyes were sharp: "Qin Xun clings to the traitor, colludes with the enemy and betrays the country, I will punish him for insulting the master's family, and it is your turn to intervene as a soldier in the affairs of the extraordinary palace!"
This mouth is really powerful, and it's only when you write it together that you give in. Huo Linfeng couldn't help it. He was so fierce that he slapped a table, wrote quickly, and the words penetrated the back of the paper. He could only vent his anger with the four treasures of the study.
Before he could refute, Rong Luoyun held his sword and stared at him motionless. After a while, he couldn't help asking: "Are you angry?"
Huo Linfeng turned the page and continued writing, his thin lips tightly closed.
Rong Luoyun asked again: "Are you angry?"
The tone was soft, with a hint of temptation and reason, it sounded straight to the heart. Huo Linfeng didn't raise his eyes, his stern face was unrelenting, and he said in a hateful voice, "I'm already so angry."
Rong Luoyun Dengdeng ran over, just like a little yasha: "Can you still talk when you are so angry?"
Huo Linfeng glanced at this irritating thing, then at the polished long sword, and said, "What are you doing, trying to hack me to death?"
Hearing this, Rong Luoyun slammed the sword on the table, bare hands, and said shyly, "I lost it." He reached out to grab Huo Linfeng's arm, took it, and shook it rascally, "Life is short, don't be angry. "
General Huo is really bitter, scolding lightly is useless, and scolding too hard is reluctant, I am afraid that Chi's army will be killed by this enemy before they can deal with it.
However, the sword has no eyes and cannot be shaken. He said cruelly, "No—"
Just as Huo Linfeng uttered two words, Rong Luoyun leaned forward and pecked lightly on his lips. It was warm and soft, and its power was a hundred times stronger than that of a sword. This is a blatant beauty trick, shameless, and dare to confuse people so boldly before the curtain has even fallen.
Rong Luoyun's ears were burning red, and he turned his head so that he could see the embarrassment in his eyes. But his body didn't move, he was next to Huo Linfeng, holding that iron arm, and there was still residual warmth from the contamination on his lips.
After a long time, he whispered, "Allow me."
Huo Linfeng still didn't let go: "It's dangerous, do you know that?"
Rong Luoyun nodded lightly, and said softly: "I know, so I'll be with you." He leaned his face against the other's shoulder, "Qin Xun can compete with Master, how can you deal with it on your own? Add me, and we will join hands Whether it's an injury or a death, at least I have a companion."
Huo Linfeng almost gritted his teeth: "Who wants you to be this kind of companion."
Rong Luoyun said: "If you don't want me, who do you want? If I'm not with you, who else will I be with?" Turning her face back, her chin rested on Huo Linfeng's shoulder, so close that she could smell each other, "I... love you so much, you Understand?"
The word "love" has a tone as light as a swallow's feather, but it weighs ten thousand catties. Huo Linfeng froze, unable to utter a word, unable to look away, and the palm that held Rong Luoyun couldn't help shaking.
Rong Luoyun knew that this was an agreement, but it was not enough to just agree, he asked slyly and expectantly: "Then you, won't you answer me?"
Huo Linfeng said in a deep voice, "I love you very much too."
The Bufan Palace was really good at doing things, and suppressed the soldiers until they were defenseless, Rong Luoyun was satisfied, let go of his hand, took a brush from the pen holder, and pretended to repair a book.
He looked for a piece of paper and said, "I'll write a letter to ask Master to come, and you send someone to rush it to Xiganling." He said while writing, "It's imminent, no matter whether we can catch up or not, we must try."
In fact, the two of them didn't have much hope, Manzi seemed ready to move, and Xiganling was really far away. After writing, when the letter was dispatched, Huo Linfeng said: "I sent someone to inform my father last night, and it is estimated that the troops are almost assembled, and he will come over."
Rong Luoyun asked: "Your father and Qin Xun, which one is higher?"
Huo Linfeng said: "I haven't seen Qin Xun's martial arts before, so I don't know." He tried to analyze, "Qin Xun had a decisive battle with Duan Daxia before, and he must have studied in Kunshan for several years and gained a lot. My father is also a master, but his arrow Just recovering from an injury, there will always be an impact, more or less."
They discussed it for a while, and then continued with the military arrangement without further delay.
Three days later, the deployment of the Dingbei Army Camp and the Blue Lake Army Camp was completed, and the soldiers and horses had assembled to the maximum extent, preparing for the battle with all their might.
Unexpectedly, Huo Zhao did not arrive at the barracks, but instead sent someone to call Huo Linfeng back to the mansion for discussion.
That night, Huo Jinghai was on guard, Huo Linfeng and Rong Luoyun left the camp and returned to the city. They galloped to the outside of the city gate, looked around, and found that the number of guards at the city gate had doubled compared to usual.
During the battle, the defenses were tightened everywhere, as always, the two rode into the city, Rong Luoyun saw Huo Linfeng's expression was rather cold, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Huo Linfeng said: "Many of the pedestrians on the street who seem to be on their way are soldiers from the Hou family."
It is enough to add people to the city gate, and the family soldiers go to the streets to patrol the streets, which can only show that there are differences in the city. Huo Linfeng and Rong Luoyun hurried back to Dingbeihou's Mansion, walked up the steps and entered the door, and met the butler who had been waiting for a long time.
"Young Master, Young Master Rong." The housekeeper leaned forward to greet him, "Master Hou and his wife are waiting in Jiao Garden."
There are four floors of small buildings in Jiao Garden. Few people go there at ordinary times. It is only used for climbing up to enjoy the moon during the New Year's festival. How can there be leisure to go there in such a scene. Huo Linfeng and Rong Luoyun followed, not knowing what Huo Zhao meant, when they arrived at the place, they could smell the mellow aroma of wine when they climbed the stairs.
On the top of the fourth floor, a room was brightly lit. Huo Zhao and Bai Shi sat at the table, guarding a table of sumptuous food. Seeing the two younger ones coming up, Bai said, "Sit down quickly, the food is going to be cold."
After sitting down, Huo Linfeng asked: "Father, you asked me to come back to discuss matters, why..."
Huo Zhao replied: "Things need to be discussed, and meals need to be eaten, so there will be no delay." He looked at the flagon and ordered, "Pour the wine and have a drink with me."
Huo Linfeng poured it for Huo Zhao: "I'm on military duty, so it's inconvenient for me to drink alcohol. I'll have a drink with dad when I triumphantly."
Huo Zhao shook his head: "Good or bad luck is unpredictable on the battlefield, so we should prepare for the worst." He took down the jug with his big hand, and poured it for Huo Linfeng and Rong Luoyun one after another, "It's a pity, let's drink it now."
Picking up the cup, he looked at Rong Luoyun: "Son, this cup, we father and son respect you."
Huo Linfeng had no choice but to obey, and drank the whole cup. The hot wine pierced his throat, burning hot. Bai Shi looked at the three people at the table, and couldn't say anything, so she said softly: "Then work hard, eat something."
Huo Linfeng didn't care about it, he first reported the military situation, and then asked: "Father, the family soldiers are lurking in the city, is there something wrong?"
Huo Zhao took out something from his pocket, unfolded it, it was a map of the city. "There are a lot of Jianghu people lurking in the city. They were first discovered in Xiaochun Terrace, and it has been nearly two months." Pointing his fingertips on the map, "Most places marked by Zhu are inns and wine shops, and there are many thieves from outside hiding in them."
The thief, Huo Linfeng said sharply, is Chen Ruoyin's man
"Chen Ruoyin and Azhatai colluded. In the city and in the desert, they will join forces inside and outside." Huo Zhao said, "When the two armies start fighting, the forces in the city will cause riots, causing our army to panic."
Huo Linfeng understood immediately: "On the other hand, as long as we take the lead in the city, the barbarians will be caught off guard and send troops in a hurry to keep the two sides in check."
The former Dingbei Army was passive, while the latter took the initiative. Huo Zhao agreed, and filled his wine glass again: "But no matter what, the city will definitely seize some troops, and a general will lead troops to suppress it."
That being the case, the three fathers and sons must split up. Huo Linfeng swallowed the wine and said, "Brother has always been calm. He leads a large army to suppress the rear. I will be the vanguard and lead the battle. At that time, the China army and the main force that will resist Azhatai Soldiers and horses."
Huo Zhao groaned and remained silent, as if he didn't quite agree.
Seeing this, Rong Luoyun, who had been silent all this time, said, "There's still me, I'll accompany him."
Suddenly, Huo Zhao's cold eyes flew to Huo Linfeng's body. "Nonsense, how can you have the face to agree?" Asking Rong Luoyun to follow, isn't the Huo family shameless
After a pause, he said, "Linfeng, you stay in the city."
Huo Linfeng raised his voice: "As the coach, of course I have to go to the battlefield!"
Huo Zhao said: "I'm in front of the Marquis of Bei, and it's not your turn to make the decision." He repeated, "You, stay in the city to suppress the bandits, and I will personally take command to quell the chaos."
Huo Linfeng said eagerly: "I don't agree! I—"
In an instant, there was a dizziness in front of his eyes, black and white, as if he had lost his face in the water, Huo Linfeng frowned and shook slightly, realizing that it was too late.
He called "Father", closed his eyes, and fell headfirst on the table.
Rong Luoyun was stunned and looked at Huo Zhao in surprise.
The author has something to say: Xiao Rong: Your father is really a ruthless person
