Rain will eventually fall, but obviously not at this time. No matter how much Ning Nan studies, it will never rain on this day. Of course, Ning Nan actually doesn't study for long, just because he writes.
Lin Chongming, who was writing quickly, had already written everything that should be written, but when he saw Lin Chongming holding his hands in a hurry, he
Zhang's letter, he blew on the wet ink, looked at it for a while, and after confirming that it was wrong, he sealed the letter, but did not hand it to Ning Nan, but pondered for a while.
Said: "Guard Ning, I have an important task now, which may affect the overall situation and make you survive nine deaths. Do you dare to answer it?"
"Sir, don't worry. I have often heard your Highness say: If you want to benefit the country, you will live or die, so what's the point of fearing death? Moreover, even though I am a common man, but Your Highness treats a certain national scholar, I should repay him with my life and death. As long as there is a destiny
, Don’t dare to disobey!” Although Ning Nan is only proficient in writing, he has been with Xiao Wei all the year round, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, his impassioned words can still be said with some literary talent.
"Okay, if Guard Ning can accomplish this feat, he will have a promising future. Lin will not say more, and this letter will be handed over to the Princess by Guard Ning. After submitting it, there is no need to stay, and he will leave the city in disguise immediately.
Let's go to Sichuan to look for His Highness." Lin Chongming looked at Ning Nan's face and saw that his words came from his heart, so he didn't think much about it and handed the letter into Ning Nan's hands and gave a few words of caution.
.
"Yes, I obey!" Ning Nan answered the doctor, hurriedly took the letter with both hands, stuffed it into his arms cautiously, turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly stopped, confused.
Looking at Lin Chongming, he said: "It's okay for a certain family to go to Sichuan, but I should tell His Highness something serious and ask Sir to explain it clearly." [
"The princess will explain it to you, so there is no need to ask any more questions." After Lin Chongming said this, he paused for a moment, frowned and said: Well, if the princess doesn't say anything, you will also rush to Sichuan and see His Highness.
Say two words - hidden arrow."
"Hidden arrow?" Ning Nan was confused by what it meant. He was stunned for a moment and repeated it with his forehead full of confusion.
"Yes, these are the two words. Remember, this journey is very dangerous. If you encounter a strong enemy, you can die. But these two words cannot be spoken. If you are sure, you don't have to force yourself to go."
." Lin Chongming didn't intend to explain the meaning of these two words to Ning Nan, but just gave him some careful instructions.
"Yes, even if I die, I won't say it to my mouth. Without further ado, I will say goodbye now. Take care, sir!" Ning Nan is not a person who likes to get into trouble. Since he can't figure it out, he simply doesn't bother.
After thinking about it some more, he hurriedly responded and hurriedly exited Shuixuan Pavilion, leaving aside all arrangements for himself.
"It's going to rain, what will happen?"
Lin Chongming didn't try to persuade Ning Nan to stay. He just watched Ning Nan leave the courtyard. He stood in the pavilion blankly. After a long time, he shook his head slightly and let out a long sigh... "Left Wing No. 1
The four teams rotate ten steps sideways!"
"The third team on the right wing moves twenty steps to the side, and the second team rushes forward!"
The midsummer in central Sichuan is so sultry and hot that sweat breaks out at the slightest movement. Especially when it's almost noon, the temperature is so frighteningly high that eggs can be fried on the stone slabs under the sun, but Xiao Wei doesn't.
Don't care at all, let the sweat soak through the heavy armor
, but still stood fearfully on the high platform, waving a small red flag in his hand, and kept issuing various commands. Amidst the sound of the horn, groups of armored and armed men below the high platform came and went in accordance with the orders, and smoke and dust billowed.
, murderous intent rose into the sky.
The weather was really too hot. Even Xiao Wei, whose martial arts was basically strong enough to withstand the cold and heat, still felt extremely uncomfortable from the heat, not to mention the ordinary soldiers under the high platform who had been subjected to high-intensity training for more than ten days.
” After practicing, all the sergeants were exhausted. From time to time, someone in the queue fainted and was carried aside for treatment by his colleagues. However, Xiao
However, Xiao Wei showed no mercy at all and still directed the drills meticulously. This was not because Xiao Wei was cruel, but because Xiao Wei knew very well the principle that soldiers are good at training but not at play. The current situation of the government is unclear, and now
A great change is imminent. If a powerful iron army is in hand, the situation will be really worrying. Therefore, it will be useless if we don't take advantage of the quiet gap before such a great change to train troops.
Although the training was hard, many soldiers also complained. The reason was not only because Xiao Wei had a high prestige in the army, but also because Xiao Wei had placed a heavy bet on this army - fighting.
The pensions for the dead soldiers were doubled, and the disabled were sent back to their hometowns with heavy sums of money. All the soldiers who remained in the army were given heavy rewards, and all of this was due to the lack of funds from the imperial court.
Under the circumstances, Xiao Wei paid for it in advance out of his own pocket. Furthermore, when the troops were training, they were given medicine for their injuries and doctors for their illnesses. Xiao Wei himself was the example of leading the troops, so the officers and soldiers were very motivated during training.
, in just ten days, he had mastered the eight-door golden lock array, the four-phase array and other arrays. Xiao Wei was very pleased with the rapid progress.
"Your Highness."
Just as Xiao Wei was commanding the military formation to change, Bai Changshan, with his shoulders wrapped in thick gauze, hurriedly walked up the steps to the high platform, got behind Xiao Wei, and called out in a low voice.
"Well, Changshan, didn't I tell you to recuperate in the camp? Why are you here?"
In the battle a month ago, Bai Changshan's troops were overrun by the Tubo cavalry. In addition to heavy losses, he himself was seriously injured. However, Xiao Wei knew that this was not due to his commanding ability, but to the enemy.
Because the force was too great, he did not blame him, but told him to rest peacefully and did not let him participate in the large-scale military training. At this moment, seeing him arrive in a hurry, Xiao Wei couldn't help but have doubts.
Then he asked a question.
"Your Highness, Commander Ning Nan and Commander Ning are here." Bai Changshan looked around and replied in a low voice.
"Oh?" When he heard that Ning Nan had arrived, Xiao Wei's heart suddenly froze. He knew that something had happened in the capital, and he couldn't help but frown.
"Your Highness, Commander Ning is seriously injured. The general has placed him in the rear camp and is guarding him with Wang Zhi and others. Please make a decision." Seeing that Xiao Wei's face looked a bit ugly, Bai Changshan hurriedly suppressed him.
The voice explained.
He was injured, and it was serious? Damn it! When Xiao Wei heard that Ning Nan was seriously injured, he couldn't help but become a little anxious. He called Yan Yunxiang to his side with a sullen face, and ordered him to continue to "train" the army, but he himself
He hurriedly got off the small platform, got on his horse, and galloped towards the camp.
"See Your Highness."[
Wang Zhi was also one of the injured. He was hit by a knife and two arrows on his left shoulder. Although it was not very serious, it was quite difficult to move. He had not participated in the training since then. At this time, he was leading several people who were also slightly injured.
The palace guards were standing in front of a small tent. When they saw Xiao Wei coming, they hurried forward and bowed respectfully to greet him.
"No need." Xiao Wei was anxious to find out what had happened in the capital, so he was nagging. He waved his hand, signaling to Wang Zhi that there was no need to be polite, but his footsteps did not stop for a moment, and he just walked to the tent.
at the door,
After a brief pause, he ordered without looking back: "You guys are staying here. Anyone who dares to come within three feet will be killed!" As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't care about the reactions of the guards, and teased him.
The curtain of the tent went in.
"Your Highness, Your Highness..."
The tent was not big, and it was closed airtight. Even if a few oil lamps were lit, it still looked extremely dark. Xiao Wei, who had just entered the tent, had not had time to adapt to the sudden darkness. He was originally lying on the camp bed.
Ning Nan screamed with a trembling voice and struggled to get the medical officer to prescribe a bandage for him.
"Lie down and don't move!"
Ning Nan is Xiao Wei's oldest subordinate, and the relationship between them is extraordinary. When he saw that Ning Nan's body was intact, Xiao Wei couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and he hurriedly grabbed it.
He stepped forward, put a hand on Ning Nan's shoulder, and gave instructions in a low voice.
"Your Highness, General, I finally see you alive, General..." Ning Nan couldn't break free from Xiao Wei's hand, so he could only lie down and murmured with tears in his eyes.
"Medical Officer Liu, how is General Ning's injury?" Although Xiao Wei was anxious to know the situation in the capital, he did not rush to ask. Instead, he looked at the medical officer who had retreated to the side and asked calmly.
"It's very serious. The external injuries are not serious. He was hit by a knife on his shoulder and chest, an arrow was hit on his leg, and he was also injured on his back. The trouble is that Commander Ning's internal organs were severely shocked, and his meridians were severely damaged. Internal injuries
It is difficult to recover and must be raised for more than a year." Doctor Liu was also a member of the palace guards. He knew the position of Ning Nan in Xiao Wei's heart. When Xiao Wei asked about it, he did not dare to hide anything.
He quickly answered in detail.
"Thank you, Medical Officer Liu, please take more care. Please step aside first and go back to tending to Commander Ning's injury. No matter the cost, we must ensure Commander Ning's safety at all costs." When Xiao Wei heard that Ning Nan was seriously injured, his mood immediately became extremely bad.
With a dark face, he nodded and gave careful instructions.
"Yes, I'll take my leave first." Medical officer Liu knew that Ning Nan must have important matters here, and he didn't dare to participate casually, so he hurriedly responded and retreated.
"Ning Nan, who hurt you?" After Medical Officer Liu retreated, Xiao Wei looked at Ning Nan with pity and asked angrily.
"I don't know. I came here and was robbed and killed all the time. It was all done by masked men. I was afraid that I would miss His Highness's important event, so I didn't dare to investigate in detail. I was lucky enough to get to the bottom of the field. Unfortunately, I will be with you."
The seven people who came out, including Liu Qi, Wang Fang, etc., all... alas, all
I can't blame my subordinates." Ning Nan was grateful for Xiao Wei's concern. After explaining a few words, he quickly turned to the topic: "Your Highness, the general came here on the secret order of Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin
There are two words that I will convey to His Highness - an arrow in the dark!"
"Hidden arrow?" As soon as Xiao Wei heard these two words, his expression changed instantly, but he did not explain in words, but pondered for a while and said: "What is the situation in the capital? You will know
Everything comes from the Tao."
"Your Highness, since you left the capital..." Although Ning Nan was quite curious about the meaning of the word "hidden arrow", since Xiao Wei didn't tell him, he didn't dare to ask, so he sorted out his thoughts and told Xiao Wei
The situation in the capital after leaving was described in detail, and Xiao Wei's brows furrowed into a big "chuan" when he heard it, and the coldness on his face was so thick that it was almost dripping with water...
