In the warm spring of March, the ice in the lake was slowly thawing, and the sun was shining brightly, shining on people, and it was warm.
Leaning on the bench, Ling Xueman looked at the lake boredly, kicking the stones on the shore every time.
Thoughts are like heaven.
Chuntang Qiuyue stood aside and didn't speak, but stared at Ling Xueman quietly, letting her miss their master in a daze.
"Chuntang, it has been fifty-eight days since the army of the Southern Expedition has left Beijing?" Ling Xueman asked suddenly.
"Yes, Princess, you remember correctly, it's been so many days." Chuntang nodded hurriedly.
Ling Xueman didn’t take it anymore. Her concubine had gone for fifty-eight days. They left on the same day. If she can’t remember clearly, she can figure it out just by asking about the period of the Southern Expedition. But in fact, she’s gone again. How can you remember a day wrong
For a long time, she spent a long time in a daze like this. At night, stroking the place where he slept, there seemed to be residual heat and his body temperature remained. She closed her eyes countless times and was looking forward to it. , When she woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, he might be back, lying next to her, like many times before, he surprised and frightened her like this, so she really, almost every night I suddenly opened my eyes in the middle of the night, then looked at the emptiness around me, disappointed again and again, and ignited hope again and again. I didn’t come tonight, maybe tomorrow night...
The concubine said, he will be away for three months, maybe six months, one year, two months now, what is he doing
Border.
At sunset, in the coach's tent, one person hurried in without an announcement.
"Report to the master, marshal, the whereabouts of the spies we sent have been leaked and they have been killed!" Wu Jie bowed his hands and bowed his head to report.
"what?"
Lei Yue raised his head from the military map and frowned, "Are both spies killed?"
"Yes!"
Lei Yue straightened up, calmly looking at the silver-faced man sitting in the chair, "General Mo, I can't find out the true situation of the enemy's grain and grass. Now our military information may have been leaked to the enemy. Next we have to Long-term plan!"
"Marshal is not anxious, the enemy knows that my military situation is good, but it is a good thing!" Mo Qihan smiled slightly, his eyes outside the mask flashed with confidence and wisdom.
"Oh? How to say?" Lei Yue asked anxiously.
Mo Qihan groaned slightly, and said, "Wujie, at three shifts tonight, you and Wuhen will each bring two shadows to visit the enemy's grain and grass. Remember, one is bright and one is dark, one is empty and the other is real!"
"Master, the minion understands. The minion will lead away the enemy's grain camp guards and start with Wuhen. With that guardsman's martial arts, the minions can pester him for at least half an hour. It's better to explore the trace!" Wujie said with joy.
"Be careful!" Mo Qihan nodded, "Don't be careless!"
"Yes, don't worry, the master, even in the ten thousand army, the minions can come and go freely, but the master and the marshal must be careful, the minions are sent out to prevent the enemy from assassinating!" Wujie said seriously.
Mo Qihan curled his lips slightly and raised his eyebrows: "Tonight, the marshal and I have things to do."
"Oh? What do you do?" Lei Yue asked in confusion.
"Drinking, eating, and drinking together!" Mo Qihan smiled.
"What?" Lei's eyes widened in surprise, "General Mo, why is this? Now the two armies are facing each other and fighting for a long time. Isn't this lax military discipline?"
"The marshal is not in a hurry. After nightfall, Deputy General Lin and Wuji led a thousand soldiers to escort our army 20 carts of grain and grass through Luoshan Road. The carts are all filled with explosives, and they can be covered with a layer. His character will definitely suspect fraud. Therefore, our army must be in a state of full alert to paralyze the enemy, and the enemy will definitely come and snatch it. Once a fight, our army will only defend but not attack, and drive 20 vehicles to the enemy. The nearest firearms camp, then, the soldiers abandon their vehicles and retreat, Vice-General Lin and Wuji did their best, shooting down rockets in mid-air and detonating explosives, it was enough to end Nanzhao's proud firearms camp!"
Mo Qihan spoke slowly, pointing to the direction from the map, "From Luoshan Road to the Firearms Camp, the distance is only 20 miles. The enemy soldiers must be chasing after them. We must send three thousand soldiers and horses to block the road at the same time, and only intercept Just chase the soldiers. Also, let the soldiers who stayed behind tonight pretend to be slack. The enemy knows our military situation and is very likely to come sneak attack. Let's ask the king to enter the urn, and we will do the three-pronged approach!"
"Okay! This is a wonderful plan!" Lei Yue was overjoyed, and said: "General Mo is brilliant and invincible. The emperor is really a good party!"
In the account Wuji, Lin Mengqing, Wujie, Wuhen, joining the army and others all showed joy and confidence: "I will wait for the task to be completed successfully!"
It was night, the fire was blazing into the sky, and the drums were beating, but in the main account, there was wine and wealth, and there was a lot of laughter.
"Marshal, it's been half a year since our army left Beijing, hey! I'm annoying!"
"General Mo, the military camp itself is boring, you young people can't stand it anymore. Fortunately, this battle is about to end. You can hold on for a while!"
"You can't do anything if you don't insist! The emperor's fate is hard to violate, and the soldiers are tired! The Nanzhao Army is too powerful. We have recovered the three states and the five states. I don't think it can be recovered in a short time. It is better to negotiate. Forget it!"
"Yes, now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, the Nanzhao Army has occupied favorable terrain again. Our soldiers are not satisfied with the soil and water. The 300,000 army can fight only 200,000, but the Nanzhao Army has expanded to 400,000. Please ask the emperor. The plan is to send more troops, but it is too late to get the right to play. As the confrontation continues, we are afraid that we will be defeated!"
Mo Qihan turned the wine glass, listening to the sound of fighting outside and a few extremely shallow breathing in his ears, there was a few traces of smiles in his eyes, and he exchanged eyes with Lei Yue, and continued to destroy his own power. topic of.
After a long time, those abnormal breathing sounds completely disappeared, and Mo Qihan raised his eyebrows, "Go!"
The two men stepped forward with their swords and watched the entire barracks appear to be one-sided and the Nanzhao soldiers were about to win. Mo Qihan whispered, "Marshal, you can send a signal to Deputy General Lin!"
"it is good!"
Lei Yue waved his hand, and his subordinates casually put the flare up into the sky. At the same time, Wu Jie Wuhen cooperated with each other tacitly, successfully spied, and retreated in one blow!
A huge explosion roared through the sky, and the Nanzhao Firearms Camp was destroyed. The coach He Liantie was shocked and hurriedly deployed troops to reinforce him, but he heard the spies come back. The two spies will succeed in the attack on the Daming Military Camp. All the conversations heard in the main account were reported. Heliantie hesitated, and a group of generals disagree, and for a while, there was endless arguing!
"The Ming army is very treacherous. They were able to blow up our firearms camp. It must be the cold-faced general. This man is invincible in combat and has many tricks. He must be lured by our army!"
"Yes! Our army has been fighting with the Ming Army for several months. On the battlefield, there is the cold-faced general leading the soldiers. There has never been a soldier burnout. The cold-faced general is even more arrogant in the battlefield. How can he easily surrender? What?"
"You are building up other people's ambitions and destroying your own prestige! The cold-faced general is said to be from the capital. He must be accustomed to arrogance and luxury. This is a half-year journey without women and wine, so it is normal to lose fighting spirit!
"Yes! Our army still occupies the five states that lead to the important gate of Daming. It has been half a month since they attacked Luzhou. They are almost running out of food and grass. What can they do
"Enough!" He Liantie roared, and the tent suddenly fell silent, his sharp eyes scanned a circle, and he stroked his beard and said: "This handsome thinks this is not easy, it is almost always cold. Facing the General Mian’s trick to lure the enemy, the three armies must not be slackened when the order is passed down, and be ready to fight at any time!"
"Really!"
Of course, before the leading messenger stepped out, a soldier rushed in, knelt on one knee, and said quickly: "Report! Marshal, the Ming army has suddenly attacked! The power is like a broken bamboo, and the Luzhou gate has been lost. , The guard is in a hurry!"
"what?!"
Full of shock, Helian was extremely angry. After all, he was an old man who had been on the battlefield, but he was calm and calm. "General Li, immediately reinforce, it is bound to keep the Ming army out of Luzhou city!"
"Siege!"
Immediately, Mo Qihan in a silver uniform raised his sword and shouted, and the soldiers of the Qianfengying camp carried the ladder to the city gate magnificently. Arrows rained down from the tower, and all the stones of different sizes were thrown away. After coming down, the screams broke out!
"Senior brother, this is not a solution. After another half an hour, Heliantie's reinforcements will arrive!" Lin Mengqing looked forward and said anxiously.
Mo Qihan's gloomy eyes stared at the ambusher hidden behind the fire on the tower, cold lips lightly twitched: "Strikes are of course not a solution, here is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we must cleverly seize the best strategy!"
"General Mo, how should I take it?" a member of the army asked urgently.
Mo Qihan said solemnly: "Yu joined the army and sent someone to report to the marshal, saying that the city gate has been captured. Please the marshal to cheer up the three armies and lead troops to stop the Nanzhao reinforcements!"
"Yes, the subordinates go immediately!" Joining the army led the order and hurried away.
"Mengqing, you command to continue the siege, and I will take the shadow to take down the tower!" Mo Qihan said with his eyebrows, and raised his command: "Shadow listening order, target, the ambusher on the tower!"
"The slave listens to the order!" A black masked shadow held a fist, and like an eagle, he rose from the moment and flew to the tower!
"Brother, the enemy's hidden weapons are weird, let me go, you will command!" Lin Mengqing anxiously blocked Mo Qihan, after speaking, he wanted to get up, and Mo Qihan waved his hand, "Mengqing don't fight! I'll go up and rely on this one. The mask can hit the enemy by surprise, you leave the command and pay attention to cooperation!"
Lin Mengqing heard this and nodded, "Okay, brother, be careful!"
Mo Qihan put his toes on his horse, and stood up. The silver cloak was like a large silver net in the night sky. The silver mask on the face made the Nanzhao general who was fighting the shadow on the tower shocked. Shock!
"It's General Lengmian!"
I don’t know which soldier yelled in horror. The soldiers besieging the shadows were frightened, and their fighting spirit immediately disappeared. The shadows acted fiercely with one enemy and one hundred. When they saw it, their swords were everywhere, blood spattered, and Nanzhao soldiers. The screaming wolf howl suddenly!
Mo Qihan attacked with a sword, and wherever the silver-clothed cold sword went, there were dead bodies everywhere, ten shadows added him, and eleven people swept the towers of a thousand guards in no time!
"kill--"
"kill--"
Below the city, the city gate had been knocked open, and the Ming soldiers rushed in with excitement shouting, attacking the city and plundering the ground. The two armies in the city fought together. The Ming army was high-spirited, brave and fearless. Under the leadership of Lin Mengqing, it was like a broken bamboo!
The soldiers guarding Luzhou in Nanzhao saw that the city gate had been broken, and the reinforcements had been delayed, and the army was in disarray and defeated!
Lin Mengqing and Mo Qihan each brought half of the army, and the divisions annihilated the enemy, and went straight to the nest of Nanzhao Luzhou!
The fire filled the sky, and the fire light reddened the entire sky. Inside the city, there were screams, screams, and screams. Outside the city, during the fierce battle of Lei Dajun, I saw the war in the city, and the higher Lei was, he shouted, "Luzhou city attack Down! Soldiers, we extinguished the Nanzhao reinforcements in one go!"
"Destroy the Nanzhao Army and regain lost ground!"
"kill--"
This battle was earth-shattering. In the hesitation between the truth and the false news, Heliantie lost the best defensive opportunity. In addition, the firearms battalion was destroyed, the fighting power was reduced and then reduced, the military spirit was unstable, and the Ming army was unable to attack Luzhou City for half a month. Changed ownership overnight and returned to Daming's hands!
The days at Beimuhe Palace are simple and relaxing.
The starry sky on the grassland is particularly beautiful and starry. That crescent moon hangs obliquely high in the sky. It is not a full moon, but it is unusually bright. It is very quiet everywhere. Occasionally, you can hear the calls of cows and sheep. Natural breath.
Granny Meihua came to visit and brought a letter from her concubine to Ling Xueman, but she accidentally ran into Mo Qiming. Because Granny Meihua was an old woman next to Empress Yi Rongcheng, Mo Qiming was suspicious, but Did not recognize it. Ling Xueman made a fire and took the opportunity to personally send away Granny Plum, without giving Mo Qiming the opportunity to contact Granny Plum again.
Walking back slowly, seeing her tent turning around a corner, but a person came out to block her way!
Ling Xueman's low eyes slowly lifted, and with the moonlight, he fixedly looked at the tall figure in front of him and the stern face, her red lips tightly pressed, and she was silent.
"follow me!"
The visitor threw a word, turned and walked to another place, Ling Xueman glanced at it, that was the road leading to the stream. Feng's eyes blinked, ignoring him, and walked directly to her original path.
He couldn't hear the footsteps that followed, the man's grim face lit up with a slight anger, and he turned back and buckled Ling Xueman's wrist, suppressing his anger and whispered, "Manman, did you not hear what I said?" "
Ling Xueman waved his hand, "Let go of me, you hurt me!"
Mo Qiming gritted his teeth and said: "Then you follow me and I will let you go."
"Then you are not allowed to be fierce to me again!" Ling Xueman raised her face, and talked fiercely about the conditions. It just so happened that she also had something to ask him.
"This king is lazy and fierce to you." Mo Qiming dropped a sentence with a black line, let go, then turned around and walked towards the stream, Ling Xueman snorted, followed behind, and both of them were on the way. Without speaking, only walking quietly, Mo Qiming skillfully avoided the patrolling Imperial Forest Army, and stopped walking until he reached a low slope.
The moonlight was bright, shining on the body, casting a long shadow.
Ling Xueman's anger was still not quenched, and he looked at Mo Qiming's shadow head and stepped heavily on it. Mo Qiming was taken aback for a moment, and then understood, his eyes stared, "What are you doing?"
"I didn't do anything, I just made fun for myself." Ling Xueman curled his lips, folded his hands around his chest, tilted his head and said, "Say, what do you want to ask me?"
"Manman, you..." Mo Qiming suddenly didn't know how to open his mouth. He was prepared to ask her what he wanted to say, but he couldn't hold back a word when he was facing each other, looking at Ling Xueman's pure and clear eyes. After a long pause, Ling Xueman, who was waiting, rolled his eyes impatiently and planned to urge him, and then asked gently and in a very serious tone: "Manman, do you have a man you like?"
"Huh?" Ling Xueman stunned, staring at Mo Qiming's handsome face in amazement. There was no ordinary coldness or smile on this face. If he was cautious, how could he ask such a question? Ling Xueman pursed her lips subconsciously, and whispered in a dull voice: "You, what are you asking for?"
"I want to know, I want to hear you tell me in person." Mo Qiming said stubbornly.
Ling Xueman lowered his eyes, took a step back unconsciously, and spit out hardly: "No, no."
"Really?" Mo Qiming's pupils tightened suddenly, staring at Ling Xueman's eyes a bit sharper, and slowly said, "I don't believe it!"
"Why don't you believe it? Who can I like? I am a widowed concubine. Apart from the widow who keeps my husband's peace, who do I dare to like?" Ling Xueman raised her eyes, looked straight at Mo Qiming, and asked calmly. .
Mo Qiming's big imaginary hand in his sleeves tightened, and he took a step closer, "I just don't believe it! Can a person's heart be controlled by identity? Do you dare to swear by the heavens that you have no distracting thoughts and did not make a point? Sorry for the fourth brother's thing?"
Ling Xueman trembled, looked at him blankly, and muttered: "Why do you force me to swear? What does my matter have to do with you?"
"How can it be okay?" Mo Qiming's heart was full, and his emotions were a little out of control and growled: "Everything about you has something to do with me. Tell me, which man do you like?"
"I...I don't know!" Ling Xueman's heart was beating fiercely, feeling cold sweat on her forehead. Mo Qiming always asked her some strange questions from time to time. Every time, he felt a heavy oppression. She has seen everything about her, leaving her invisible.
"You are not allowed to avoid me! Long, can you tell me? I really, really want to know, who is that man? I also want to know how I am compared with that man, so that you only have him in your heart. I can't see anyone else!" Mo Qiming clasped his hands on Ling Xueman's shoulders, a little light flashed in his eyes.
Ling Xueman was deeply shocked, her brain was blank, she blurted out and asked: "You, why do you compare with him?"
"He? Who is he?" Mo Qiming raised his eyebrows lightly, with a soft voice with a bit of magnetic charm, "It must be compared, tolerating you so much because I and my second brother have the same mind. "
"What, what?"
Ling Xueman was shocked again, her legs softened, Mo Qiming took her into her arms and said softly, "Manman, if I didn't like you, how could I apologize to you in a low voice? Will allow you to yell at me, whatever you want?"
Ling Xueman's brain was completely blank, his ears were instinctively flushed with Mo Qiming's hot breath, his breathing was disordered, and his heartbeat increased. His big hands held her tightly, making her chin rest on his broad chest. He can also hear his heartbeat clearly.
"Manman, tell me, who is that man? I just want to know. I don't mean anything else, let alone telling your father to be punished. Manman..."
Mo Qiming's bewitching words blew softly in Ling Xueman's ears like a spring breeze. He lifted her chin with one hand and made her look at him. His lips were pressed down unexpectedly and pressed against her soft lips. The cold touch spread from the lips to the limbs, making her suddenly regained from the sluggishness, and his words convolved in her mind, "Who is that man?"
姘头...姘头...
Ling Xueman's open eyes blinked, and a strong sense of guilt almost immediately hit her heart. She didn't know where she was, and she suddenly broke free of Mo Qiming, but because of too much momentum, she staggered back two steps and sat down on her ass. On the ground, he raised his eyes and murmured in horror: "You...how can you...can kiss me?"
Mo Qiming's face turned pale, his condescending body trembled lightly, looked at her, and asked in a low voice unwillingly, "Why push me away? Why can't I kiss you? Is it all because of the man you like? What is so good about him? Why is he only in your eyes?"
"No! I don't have anyone I like, no..." Ling Xueman shook her head in a flustered manner. The moment she thought of her concubine, her reason all returned. The desire to protect her concubine overwhelmed everything. She would never say a word, she wanted her The man was safe, even if she did this to his lifelong underground lover, she didn't want him to make any accidents.
"You lie to me! If you don't have a man you like, then don't reject me, Manman, I can care nothing, as long as you are willing to try to accept me, like me, I will treat you better than him!"
Mo Qiming's eyes were red as bloodshot, and his eyes were burning as if he was about to burn Ling Xueman. He squatted down and reached out to her, hiding his heart full of pain and hatred of being taken over by others. Softly said: "Give me your hand, it's cold on the ground."
