Chapter Forty-Four: Apology
After asking for the address, Fengling rushed there. Now that the army has arrived, plus 50,000 reinforcements, Licheng is very crowded, and they can only be stationed in the suburban open space outside the south gate. The elite battalion is also one of the battalions, and it certainly cannot be changed alone.
The injured are probably in the dormitory.
After exiting the south gate, you can see at first glance that the camp is very large, but this is probably just a stronghold, and there should be several camps some distance back.
She observed the camp and was unable to determine whether the elite battalion was inside, so she approached the entrance. The soldiers standing guard at the entrance stopped and asked: "Stop, what are you doing? You are not allowed to trespass in important areas of the army."
"I am a soldier in an elite battalion."
The other party looked at Fengling's outfit with disbelief: "How come a soldier from the elite battalion is out there alone? What's your name?"
Just as Fengling was about to speak, she heard movement behind her. It was the sound of a horse riding over. At the same time, someone called her name: "Chen Ling!"
She turned her head and saw her cousin wearing armor and riding a horse, leading two young girls to charge majestically. After reining in the horse, she did not dismount. She looked down at the two people standing guard and said: "She is my soldier, let her go."
."
The two men immediately changed their attitudes and said very respectfully: "It turns out they are soldiers of General Dingyuan. I am clumsy. General, please forgive me."
Fengling was surprised when she heard this. When did my cousin get promoted?
Chen Juanjuan looked serious: "Well, it is right not to let an unknown person in easily. He deserves to be crowned."
"Thank you, General." The two of them were excited.
"Why are you standing there stupidly? Do you want me to carry you on my back?" Chen Juanjuan's cold shout made Feng Ling confused. Why was he so fierce all of a sudden?
"Follow me." She glanced at Fengling and rode forward, leaving Fengling behind, but her speed was obviously to take care of the injured person behind.
Seeing her deliberately ignoring her back, Fengling couldn't help but laugh. She recalled that when she was a child, whenever she made her cousin angry, she would look like this arrogant and arrogant person now, with a fierce mouth, but everyone knew it.
The eldest sister of the Chen family loves her younger siblings from the bottom of her heart.
The injured Fengling was limping forward with his hand on the broomstick. Everyone who passed by looked at her pitifully. Even Chen Juanjuan's little follower couldn't stand it anymore. He hesitated to speak for her: "General, Chen Ling's injury is not stable yet."
, will walking like this aggravate the injury?"
Chen Juanjuan snorted coldly: "If you don't let her suffer, how can she have a long memory? A moment of bravery is just for a common man. Her life was bought by many soldiers. If she can't bear this pain, how can she be worthy of the dead soldiers."
"
Fengling knew that these words were meant for her.
In the eyes of most people in yesterday's battle, she and a few people from the elite battalion bravely broke into the enemy's camp to burn food and grass, and sacrificed their lives to delay time for Li City. This was a vigorous victory.
However, looking at it from another perspective, it was Fengling who fought against an army of 100,000 people in order to save her companions. The Fengyang army who was originally defending in the city risked his life to go out for her. She survived, but half of the people who came after them sacrificed.
Although this battle was won, it was actually a failure.
Fengling wanted to understand this, so she didn't say anything and followed behind with her eyes lowered silently.
However, Chen Juanjuan in front felt very uncomfortable after she finished her sarcastic remarks. She wanted to look back at that smelly girl many times, but she couldn't bear to say nice words to comfort her. So the two attendants saw that her face was getting more and more smelly, and her atmosphere was getting worse.
Don't dare to breathe.
All the way to the elite camp area, he took Fengling to Chen Juanjuan and left. Looking at her back, Fengling sighed, turned around and walked inside.
"Chen Ling? Why are you returning this?
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Are you walking? Aren't you seriously injured?" Soldiers from an elite battalion were surprised to see her on the road.
"Why is she still holding a broom? Come on, sisters, let's help her."
As soon as they were greeted, they were very enthusiastic and planned to resist. Fengling opened her mouth to say something, but because she didn't know how to face them at this time, she was stunned and was resisted away.
Fengling:......
They took Fengling directly to the injured area, and successfully saw Zhang Baoxuan and others lying on the bed drinking medicine. Mu Mingran was not there, and they were surprised to see her.
But Fengling's eyes stopped after scanning Tang Shi's eyes closed and motionless on a bed in the corner.
She waved away the two people who were supporting her and stepped forward, each step feeling as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold. She squatted down in front of Tang Shi's bed and stared at this pale face.
Finally, the sourness in my nose couldn't stop, and it suddenly came out like a flood from a dam.
Looking back, her eyes were already red and unseemly. She glanced at the wounded one by one and felt the urge to swallow more, but her words became hoarse under her pressure.
"Sisters in the elite battalion, my impulse caused your casualties. Once again, I solemnly apologize to you." She stood up, bent down deeply and bowed deeply.
When they heard that Fengling was back, many people from the elite battalion came here to take a look. It was crowded with people. She didn't expect that she would come out like this, and she was immediately panicked.
Some people helped Fengling to stand up, while others comforted her with words.
"It's okay, it's none of your business..."
"You are our role model..."
"We can't bear it..."
"..."
It was very noisy, but none of them meant to blame Fengling. Fengling's eyes were filled with tears, and he waved his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and continued: "No matter what, the sacrifices of the elite battalion and the soldiers of the Licheng garrison are a fact.
Without my impulse, you would not have chosen to go out of the city to fight head-on. You knew...knowing that you would never win with such a power disparity, but you still chose to go to the battlefield. Without you, I would have been a mess.
, instead of talking to you here. So, I thank you, and I will keep your kindness in my heart."
After speaking, Fengling bowed again.
This time they didn't speak anymore, they all looked at her in silence, as quiet as death. But if you look closely, you can find that there were tears in their eyes, and their faces were complicated. The tears were because of those comrades who had sacrificed their lives.
It's complicated because Fengling has the courage to shoulder the responsibility on one person.
At this time a voice broke the atmosphere.
Xiao Sesu walked out from the corner, stood in front of Fengling, and helped Fengling up.
Fengling looked at her.
She said: "Although you all say that I am stupid, there are some things that I know in my heart. These words should be said by me, and this apology should also be made by me."
She knew that if Fei Ling had not come out to shoot those two arrows, her head would have fallen to the ground and Fei Ling would not have been discovered. Not only did she save her, she also chose to rush into the enemy group to protect herself with her life.
"Thank you." She saluted Fengling, then turned around and said to everyone, "I'm sorry, it was me who dragged you down and hurt you."
Xiao Sesu, who was usually annoying, would one day put down her arrogant head, bow her head for the comrades she once looked down upon, and say something like this. Everyone present, those who hated her and those who despised her, were all here.
For a moment, I lost all my previous prejudices and looked at this person again.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Fengling looked at Xiao Sesu who was standing in front of him without saying anything, and his eyes moved slightly.
"Ouch, what's wrong? I just took a nap, and the bedside was already reciting my words." Suddenly, Tang Shi, who was mistakenly thought to be seriously injured and unconscious, woke up, looking as if he had been woken up.
"Sleep?" Feng Ling looked at her with raised eyebrows, her fists a little itchy.
But it is undeniable that she feels a lot more relaxed.
Tang Shi sat up and said to her: "Xiao Lingling, I heard everything you just said. I don't agree with this. We are not fighting for you alone. There are no cowards in the elite camp, and the barbarians are here.
How can we watch them trample on our Fengyang dignity? Even without you, we will still go down and beat the enemy until they pee. I had already thought about it when I chose to join the army. Even if I die, as Fengyang Army,
I will die on the battlefield too!"
"Yes! Even if you die, you will die on the battlefield!"
"Fight for the dignity of Fengyang! Fight for the people of Fengyang!"
"Fight for Fengyang's dignity!"
"..."
The uniform shouts went straight into the sky and spread throughout the camp.
What Tang Shi said inexplicably touched their psychology. This is what they wanted to say, there are no cowards in Fengyang Army.
Looking at the crimson-faced people and the wounded lying on the bed unable to move but still shouting, Fengling raised a smile.
Mu Mingran came over and put his hand on her shoulder to convey his support. Fengling said nothing and responded by covering the back of her hand.
Behind her, another hand stretched out to cover her, and when she turned her head, she saw Tang Shi smiling with his teeth exposed.
With this move, Zhang Tingyan and Zhang Baoxuan also gave their hands to her, and they also supported Fengling.
Fengling looked at them deeply, her smile unabated, and then from the corner of her eye, she glanced at Xiao Sese, who was looking at him with envy. She stretched out her other hand to her, palm upward, conveying a friendly invitation.
Xiao Sesu was dumbfounded by the stretched out hand. He looked at Fengling and then at the others, all with non-hostile eyes. Suddenly, a warm current surged in his heart, which was unspeakably complicated.
"Hurry up! It's so annoying."
Tang Shi still scolded her, but Xiao Sesu could feel that there was something else hidden in the scolding this time, something not annoying. She hesitated for a moment, and stretched out her hand tremblingly, but she was a little afraid to touch Fengling's hand. Fengling
When she saw someone grabbing her, her body stiffened subconsciously.
Fengling smiled and put her hand on the overlapping hands on her shoulders, which was covered by Tang Shi's slap.
"No matter what happened in the past, in the future, we will be a group, a group of friends and colleagues who trust each other, help each other, sleep together in difficulties, and enjoy blessings together." Fengling said to several people seriously.
Tang Shi disagreed: "Does it need to be said? We have always been this kind of people."
Xiao Sesu was about to cry. This was the first time since she was a child that she had such a thing as friends, and she had so many at once. Her mother had been the Minister of the Ministry of Finance since she was born, and everyone around her was flattering her, with a glamorous appearance.
However, the Queen received no attention from her mother at home, simply because she was not outstanding enough to bring honor to her mother's family.
Her mother only liked her eldest sister, and she either scolded her or disliked her because she was an embarrassment. So she had always imitated the playboy, offending others outside, and only then could she live up to her shameful reputation. And because she was a playboy, she was surrounded by people who flattered her at every opportunity.
Damn it, no one has ever treated me sincerely.
But now, she feels a different "friend".
