〖Wuyin, the first year of Longsheng, on March 12th, the city of the Ji family was destroyed and the Yong army burned the city. Although the guards of the Ji family moved to Anze, the old and the weak were unable to leave. The murderous reputation has become more prosperous, but after careful inspection, there is no massacre of the city.
— "Zizhi Tongjian·Yongji III"〗
Just at the critical moment, a loud shout came, and a spear flew out from the grass on both sides of the road, hitting the middle of Ma Xing, Ma Xing deviated from some directions, but still shot at Su Qing, but This short period of time has already made Ruyue move. She rolled off her horse with Su Qing in her arms and fell to the dust. At this time, her mount seemed to be startled by the sound of wind and thunder, and her hoofs rose up, and the horse lance penetrated The body of the horse, the steed neighed and fell to the ground. As soon as Ruyue fell under the horse, she hugged Su Qing and rolled to the side. The heavy corpse of the war horse was crushed beside Ruyue by only a tiny margin.
Almost at the same time, Duan Lingxiao noticed the endless murderous intent coming from both sides of the road, and he jumped up subconsciously. When he jumped into the air, countless crossbow arrows shot at him, Duan Lingxiao took a deep breath, and his body was weird. Turning around in the air and flying to the side, the flying crossbow arrows almost collided with each other, and the warhorse he grabbed fell to the ground with a neigh. Duan Lingxiao flew to the ground, and from the rocks and deep grass on both sides of the road, eighteen young warriors in black riding suits and soft armor jumped out, surrounded Duan Lingxiao. Everyone is between twenty-five and thirty years old. All of them have a calm demeanor, the dust under their feet will not disperse, and their eyes are shining. At first sight, they know that they are the best players in the Dayong army. There is another person who is about twenty-eight or nine years old, with a simple appearance, but his eyes are cold, and his murderous aura is hidden. Just looking at his demeanor, he knows that this person is the leader. He also had a horizontal saber in his hand, and a small steel shield in his left hand, but at the moment the horizontal saber was not sheathed, and there were two short spears stuck in his waist. It was this man who saved Su Qing just now.
Duan Lingxiao sighed: "Who are you waiting for, why would you stop me here?"
The leader of the young man said loudly: "His Majesty the Dayong Emperor is the deputy commander of Hu Jiwei, and Huyanshou, the guard commander of the Marquis of Chu, is here to welcome you."
A cold light flashed in Duan Lingxiao's eyes, and he said, "Is this Master Jiang setting up a plan to lure me into ambush? Then he is too unloving of his men. Are you confident that you can stop me?"
Huyanshou said loudly: "Your Excellency doesn't need to stir up discord. Your lord has a clever plan. You know that if your Excellency is still here, there is a chance that you will attack General Su, so he ordered me to follow in secret. When General Su was attacked, the warning was already issued. It was sent back, so General Su gave his life to flee the way he came, and lured your Excellency into a dead end.
Duan Lingxiao said lightly: "The Marquis of Chu Xiang is really cautious, if I don't take action, he'll just be troubled, if I take action, he can find my trace, but his heart is vicious enough, if Su Qing doesn't have the ability When he escaped, he soon lost a competent subordinate for nothing. Isn't it a pity that such a talent as Miss Su was sacrificed by him? Moreover, he sent people to set up an ambush, but he did not let his confidant, the evil shadow Li Shun, come. You come here to die, is such a ruthless person who is greedy for life and fear of death worth your life for him?"
Anger flashed in Huyanshou's eyes, and he said coldly, "How can my lord not be judged by Your Excellency? He is cruel and ruthless. He is the true nature of a good man. Let’s talk about it, not to mention that Master Li is an adult’s close attendant, so he doesn’t have to go into battle to kill the enemy, so I have all been instructed by Master Li, so please advise me on how?”
Following his words, the tiger guards each took a step forward, and the momentum of the shrinking formation suddenly rose, but Duan Lingxiao, who was quite refined in the transformation of the dungeon armor formation, seemed to have a lot of flaws, so he couldn't help but bask in it. At that time, Hu Yanshou had already pulled out the horizontal sword and stepped forward with his shield in his hand. Just after he entered the formation, the sword formation became strict and all the flaws had disappeared. Duan Lingxiao was shocked. He originally thought that this sword formation was a combination of positive and negative nine palaces, but unexpectedly the real number was nineteen. The original plausibility made him who knew some formations despise him, but in Huyanshou After entering the battle, the net of heaven and earth has been completed. Such a sudden blow is enough to frustrate the will of the people who are caught in the battle. If the people who set up the battle are targeting themselves, then his will is too terrifying. Duan Lingxiao finally couldn't help it. Before the sword formation was launched, he asked, "Who gave this sword formation, is it always the case that General Huyan entered the formation last?"
Huyanshou was stunned for a moment, and the words that he was going to order to kill were blocked. He thought, even if you want to delay time, it doesn't matter. At this moment, there are more than 100 iron cavalry rushing here. When they arrive, you will be With three heads and six arms, he couldn't escape, so Hu Yanshou replied, "The formation technique was taught by Master Jiang, and the sword technique was handed down by Master Li. It was originally intended to protect the safety of the master, and it is also a beautiful thing to use it to eliminate adultery today."
Hearing this, Duan Lingxiao smiled slightly. He had used the secret transmission method of the Demon Sect to detect two armies running from different directions within a few miles. The enemy's situation was clear, and he could escape now. It can be understood in a short time, the most likely is that he killed most of the tiger guards, but was trapped by Yong Jun, and he was in a dilemma, but fortunately he already had a plan to escape.
Duan Lingxiao laughed loudly in the midst of the sword formation, and stood with his hands behind his back: "Strange, strange, Duan heard that Fengyimen is a Dayong traitor, and everyone can be punished, but now I can see Fengyimen. The disciple of Fengyi works in the army, Miss Su Qingsu, you are the direct disciple of Fengyi Sect Master Fan Huiyao, that's not right, all the direct disciples of Fengyi Sect Master have names and surnames, but I have never heard of anyone with the surname Su. Yes, but the girl's martial skills are considered outstanding among the second and third generation disciples of Fengyi Sect, I don't know who Ms. Su inherited?"
His remarks sounded like thunder, and even those brave warriors of the Yong Army couldn't help but look at Su Qing in astonishment, and Su Qing, who had already been lifted up by the maid, was already pale as snow, and was shocked by these words. Shocked, there was an air of despair all over the body. Even the most ignorant person knew that Duan Lingxiao had said the most unspeakable secret in Su Qing's heart. At this moment of stagnation, Duan Lingxiao had already caught a gap in the knife array. , everyone was caught off guard, flew out, turned into a flowing rainbow, disappeared without a trace, and his cold voice came from the wind: "Su Qing, your martial arts origin has been leaked, I want to see how you are doing. Stay in Yong Jun."
There was silence in the field, and countless eyes fell on Su Qing. She stood proudly, as strong as a winter snow plum, but her expression was extremely dreary and sad. It can be seen that what Duan Lingxiao said was not to sow discord, she really was Feng Feng. Yimen disciple.
Fengyimen, that famous name in the past, which is now unavoidable, is still deeply embedded in everyone's heart. He once controlled the government and the opposition for many years, and had power all over the world, but because of his treason and crime, he became disillusioned. Except for those who disappeared without a trace, most of the remaining disciples of Fengyi Sect have become victims of the struggle for imperial power, and some are parents. Husband's family was not allowed to, so he was forced to leave home, and even the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng spent the rest of his life, and some were blessed by their families, but since then they have been depressed, and it is difficult to see their former glory, and the army has tried their best to influence Fengyimen. Excluded, once they have a relationship with Fengyi Sect, even if they don't die, they don't want to stay in the army. However, Su Qing, the dignified Dayong Siwen Cao, the head of the Sibeihan espionage network in Beijun, the third-rank general, and the female middle school Yingjie, turned out to be a disciple of Fengyi Sect.
A few cavalrymen who had seen the scene of Su Qing and Duan Lingxiao fighting just now felt uneasy in their hearts. Just now, Su Qing's sword was like a frenzy. , It must be that Duan Lingxiao knew a lot about Fengyimen's martial arts, so he discovered Su Qing's true teacher. Unconsciously, everyone surrounded Su Qing.
Ruyue looked at Su Qing with an indifferent expression, and suddenly said loudly: "You guys are too much, Miss has been dying for Dayong for many years, and she only escaped from the death of Beihan not long ago. Ambush, you would rather trust the words of an enemy than a colleague who lives and dies together, what is the reason?" After speaking, she was already full of grief and indignation, holding Su Qing in tears. Everyone looked at each other in dismay, especially the Yong Jun warrior who had just seen Su Qing bloody fighting Duan Lingxiao, even more guilty.
Huyanshou coughed and asked, "General Su, is that person's statement true? If he lies, please tell General Su clearly, and I will explain it for General Su." Everyone knew what he meant, as long as Su Qing said If it wasn't the truth, then he would rather conceal this matter, and everyone thought the same, no matter what Su Qing's background was, they only needed to know that this woman, like them, did not hesitate to sacrifice her life for Dayong, and that would be enough.
At this time, the smoke and dust billowed in the distance, and the Dayong cavalry who came to support finally arrived. When they got close, they were shocked by the strange atmosphere. They automatically stopped their mounts and looked at everyone inexplicably. The cold wind was blowing, and more than a thousand people were surrounded. Among them, a woman in Tsing Yi stood there with a frosty expression on her face, and there was silence between heaven and earth. Apart from the sound of wind and the occasional neighing of horses, there was no other sound.
Su Qing broke away from Ruyue's support, took a few steps forward, walked to Huyanshou, and smiled slightly. That smile was as bright as a ray of sunshine in winter, but it was also like a short-lived desolation. Her voice was like a stone. Loudly said: "Duan Lingxiao is not a frame-up, my teacher Su Qing is the first disciple of Fengyi Sect Wen Shiyao Ziyan, although Su Qing is only the teacher's named disciple, but the teacher's kindness is very deep, Su Qing still admires her heart, although forced. Due to the situation, I dare not say it outright, but I, Su Qing, have never forgotten the deep friendship of my mentor who saved my life and passed on my swordsmanship. However, I, Su Qing, have never forgotten that I am a general of Dayong, and I admit that I never did I've been sorry for the imperial court Paoze. Today's matter has been leaked. After all, it is difficult to hide from the eyes and ears of the world. Su Qing is here. How do you deal with it? It's up to you, but Ruyue is my maid, but she doesn't know about it. I There are many brothers under my command, and no one knows the origin of my Su Qing, and I also ask you to testify to clear their innocence." Just after saying this, Su Qing only felt dizzy, hurt and disheartened, and asked her to do it again. She couldn't support it, and Ruyue's cry came from her ear. Su Qing only felt that her soft body fell into a warm embrace. She sighed softly, that's all, let God decide her own destiny, and give up completely After that, Su Qing fell into the deepest coma.
It's so warm, Su Qing seems to be having an endless dream, as if returning to the life of a protected and frivolous daughter of the old days, as if lying in her mother's arms when she was a child, listening to her mother's low voice. Singing the nursery rhyme, let yourself fall into a deep sleep willingly, and before you know it, a crystal teardrop fell from the corner of your eyes, the happy life that will never be found, the parents and relatives that will never be seen again.
Hazy opened his eyes, Su Qing felt the existence of life again. Over the years, he worked hard every day in the Northern Han Dynasty. Even when he was sleeping, he was always on guard against the warning signs around him. After returning to Dayong, the burden in his heart still existed, so Su Qing hadn't slept so soundly in a long time. She sat up and found herself lying on a warm and comfortable soft couch, the curtain was lowered, and there was a high-quality incense smell in the air. Su Qing pulled the quilt off, and saw that she was wearing a white t-shirt, and it seemed to be a change of clothes that she carried with her. She lifted the curtain and found that all around were wooden slats, the ground shook gently, and there were no windows, but the room was full of wood. The air inside is not dirty, it must be the cabin of the ship. Looking around, I saw that there was not much makeup in the room, but the desks, chairs and bookshelves were readily available, the incense burner was placed by the bedside, and the paintings and calligraphy were hanging on the wall, which looked very fresh and elegant. Su Qing was startled, even if she woke up and found herself in prison, she wouldn't be so surprised, but receiving such preferential treatment on the battlefield made her extraordinarily surprised.
She saw a set of cyan military uniforms and soft armor on a chair next to her. They were all her own clothes, but they had been cleaned and sewed. She put on her clothes, put on her combat boots, and placed her weapons on the desk. And the hidden weapons, she also put away one by one, it seems that she has not been dismissed from the military, Su Qing's heart is slightly relieved. After finishing her clothes, Su Qing suddenly felt hungry in her stomach. She didn't know how long she hadn't eaten. Just by looking at her internal injuries, she knew that it would be at least two or three days. She was about to open the door, but the cabin door was pulled open from the outside, and Ruyue walked in with a faint sad expression on her face. When she saw Su Qing, she rushed over with great joy, holding Su Qing's big body. cry. Su Qing's heart warmed, but she didn't push her away, and said, "Silly girl, my clothes are all wet from your crying." Ruyue quickly let go, wiping her tears and saying, "Master Supervisor said that Miss is fast. Wake up, let me take a look and say that if the lady is awake, please go to the front hall to have dinner."
Su Qing was shocked, her expression was pale, and some things could not be avoided after all, she forced a smile and said: "Yes, I have been in a coma for a few days, why am I so hungry." Ruyue said: "That day Miss was injured and unconscious, Huyan The general brought the young lady back to the boat. After the supervisor checked the pulse, he said that the internal injury of the young lady was not serious, but that she was overworked and suffered a mental blow, so she was in a coma. So I added a sleeping medicine to the wound medicine, and now it's the fourth day, and in the past few days, in addition to taking medicine, Miss is taking ginseng soup, so it's no wonder she is so hungry."
Su Qing hesitated for a moment and asked, "Ruyue, does Lord Superintendent already know about that?"
Ruyue took a peek at Su Qing's face and said, "Your Excellency the supervisor has issued a password prohibition, not allowing the incident of the day to be leaked. After that, the young lady will be left on the boat to recover. I don't know about other things."
Su Qing felt uneasy and said, "Take me to see Lord Jiang."
Walking into Jiang Zhe's cabin, Su Qing was almost immediately attracted by the sumptuous dishes on the table. At this time, even her future and destiny couldn't overcome the temptation of food. She almost exhausted her whole body. Strength resists the urge to pick up chopsticks immediately. But one of Jiang Zhe's actions made her completely lose control. Jiang Zhe pointed his finger at the table, which was a clear gesture. Su Qing almost threw himself to the table without even saying hello, and began to feast until she ate. After he was full, he returned to normal thinking. Thinking of the gaffe just now, Su Qing blushed, stood up and said, "I will be rude at the end, please forgive me."
I have been watching Su Qing's actions. Speaking of which, this woman is worthy of being from a famous family. Although she devoured her food, she still maintains a basic demeanor, but she moves faster, but I can understand her mood, hunger and relaxation. It will make people unable to restrain themselves. If she is in the hands of the enemy, she will never relax like this. It can be seen that she really regards me as a reliable and reliable boss, so she will be so relaxed. At least, she is invincible to me. meaning. The hesitation in my heart for the past few days suddenly vanished, and I finally made a decision on how to deal with Su Qing.
I exchanged glances with Xiao Shunzi, who was standing at the table to help the dish and was actually protecting me, and asked Su Qing, "General Su, I wonder if you can tell me the details of your teacher?"
Su Qing knew that his future life and death was at this moment, and he didn't dare to neglect him at all, and said: "After the last general broke up with Duan Wudi seven years ago, because of the grief and anger in his heart, he fled into the mountains, and he passed out in a coma after walking for a long time. There are many tigers and leopards in the mountains, and the last commander already had the will to die, but when he woke up, he saw that he was in a cave, surrounded by bonfires and game. Someone rescued the last commander and placed it there. My first teacher heard Ziyan. After my first teacher asked me about my background, I was very sympathetic. Seeing that Mo Jiang had learned martial arts when he was a child, he intended to take him in as an apprentice. You have to obey the order of the sect master, and it is even more impossible to join the army to kill the enemy. In the end, he will escape from death. He has made an oath in his heart that he must join the Yong army and take revenge. Appreciate it, I deliberately stayed for ten more days to teach Su Qing swordsmanship and martial arts, but in order to avoid being known about this, the master did not teach the internal skills of Fengyi Sect to Su Qing because he saw that the mind method learned by the last general was authentic Taoism. The swordsmanship taught is also the ultimate move of the master himself. Although they have a master-disciple relationship, they have no official status. Later, after Su Qing practiced swordsmanship, he became famous in Zhongyuan, and he joined the Yong Army more successfully. The contact with the teacher is even more secretive. Except for meeting once a year in the cave where my teacher and apprentice meet, they never meet again. The former teacher said that she was greatly favored by the teacher, and she would never abandon her regardless of life or death. Don't leave, the disciple just learned some superficial swordsmanship, she didn't want the disciple to fall into the power struggle. So no one in Fengyi's family knew about the last general and the predecessor. Before the change of the hunting palace, the predecessor left her in the cave. The swordsmanship experience and a suicide note were given to the last general, saying that she would take the teacher's sect as a great rebellion. If it succeeds, that's all. If it fails, let the last general not hold grudge against the person who killed her, she is willing to be the teacher The door is buried." At the end of her speech, Su Qing was full of tears, she stood up and bowed: "Sir, although the teacher has done a great act of treason, but asking the teacher to read the teacher is really burdened by the ignorance of loyalty and filial piety, Allow Su Qing to go to pay homage to the master."
After hearing what Su Qing said, I only felt sad in my heart, and said: "Although your teacher has done something wrong, even the emperor said that her marching and fighting were in harmony with the art of warfare, and her temperament was even more unparalleled. , Victory with less, almost forced the emperor into a desperate situation, and then ordered the teacher and Xiao Shunzi to fight in front of the battle. After losing, he committed suicide. His temperament was strong, and the emperor also lamented for it. Bloody Rakshasa is indeed the master of Fengyi. The most proud and outstanding disciple, now from your mouth, I know the past, Wen Nvxia is still a strange woman who can distinguish right from wrong, but unfortunately she is trapped by Zhongxiao, causing her to die and her name to disappear. General Su, the emperor also spoke to Wen on that day. The heroine is quite rewarding, so they are secretly buried in Mount Li, and if you go to the imperial capital in the future, I will send someone to lead you to worship."
A grateful look flashed in Su Qing's eyes, and he respectfully kowtowed a few times. At this time, Xiao Shunzi suddenly said coldly, "Don't you remember to hate me?"
Su Qing glanced at Xiao Shunzi and said indifferently, "My first teacher asked for benevolence, so what is there to complain about?"
Xiao Shunzi looked at me and remained silent. I knew he had agreed with my decision, so he said, "General Su, although I have issued a ban on your matter, but there is no airtight wall, so I will secretly report to you. Emperor Ming, but the emperor is magnanimous, General Su is loyal to the imperial court and has meritorious deeds, the emperor will not blame him, and I am not sure how the emperor will deal with the arrangements so far, but please rest assured General Su, you can at least see the fall of the Northern Han."
Su Qing was ecstatic, and then said: "The only wish in Su Qing's heart is to see the fall of the Northern Han Dynasty. To be able to fulfill this wish is that the emperor convicted me of a serious crime, and Su Qing died without any complaints. Please allow Su Qing to be remorseful. Go back to the battlefield and serve Dayong."
I stretched out my hand and said: "I will explain to King Qi that he will not object to this matter. General Su can leave after a day's rest. Now, General Su is very much needed outside to be in charge of scouting the military aircraft."
Su Qing got up and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Supervisor. Su Qing has fully recovered and can now go into battle. I wonder how the military situation is outside?"
I smiled and said: "Yesterday our army captured the Ji clan, and the Ji clan guards evacuated the civilians to Anze ahead of time. After he defended the city for a day, he fled overnight. His Royal Highness led the army straight into Anze, and the navy is also heading towards Anze, but the cargo of the navy was damaged a few days ago, and the subsequent cargo will not arrive until two days later."
Su Qing said: "Anze is guarded by Duan Wudi himself. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but I am afraid that it is difficult to capture. If he will send someone to spread rumors, he will say that Duan Wudi framed Quartz to commit crimes. What do the adults think?"
I slapped my palms and smiled: "It's exactly what I want, even if General Su is not awake today, I have to send orders to go on like this. In addition to Duan Wudi's direct descendants, Anze's defenders also have many old Quartz troops. If there is civil strife in Ze, our army can easily capture An Ze."
Su Qing said cautiously: "Sir, although Duan Wudi has no illustrious achievements in the battle, it is difficult to start. Although he is trying to alienate his military heart today, please report to His Royal Highness King Qi, and don't despise Anze's defenders."
I nodded and said: "You are right, if it weren't for this, Duan Wudi would not have become the left and right arm of Long Tingfei's most relied on. If the ghost-faced general Tan Ji is Long Tingfei's spear, the Tiebi general Duan Wudi is Long Tingfei's spear. Tingfei's shield, now that the spear is destroyed and the shield is wounded, I want to see how Long Tingfei commands the battle."
Su Qing suddenly flashed a sigh in his heart, how will Duan Wudi deal with the pressure as heavy as Mount Tai? She knew in her heart that no matter who could fulfill her long-cherished wish, there was no room for change between her and Duan Wudi.
