In the empty camps in the suburbs, the evening breeze blew with torches, and it was lifeless, and even the soldiers patrolling and guarding seemed listless.
Shangguan Wanning deliberately changed back to women's clothing and sneaked into the camp under the escort of Huo Gang and two secret guards. The whole process was much easier than she thought.
"These guards are so relaxed that if the enemy launches a night attack, the entire army will be wiped out if they are not careful." The secret guard lowered his voice and said.
Shangguan Wanning couldn't help but sigh secretly.
She had seen Mu Jingrui lead his troops, and if this happens, he will definitely punish him severely.
"Miss, we don't know what Jin Ruhong looks like. Anyway, it's time to do this. Please catch someone and ask." Huo Gang suggested.
Shangguan Wan pondered for a moment and nodded.
Huo Gang quickly took a patrol soldier and found out Jin Ruhong's residence without much effort.
The group came outside Jin Ruhong's military tent, and Jin Ruhong was about to go to bed after dinner.
Suddenly, he felt a breeze rising, and a figure flashed by, and a powerful palm force came towards his face.
After all, Jin Ruhong has been through the battlefield for a long time, and his reaction is very fast. He dodged sideways and grabbed the other party's pulse.
The other party seemed to have expected it, and his body shook and his backhand grabbed his throat.
"Who are you? What kind of hero is you a sneak attack behind your back?"
Jin Ruhong is a northern man with a burly figure, a dark face full of beards, a pair of dark eyes, stubborn and unyielding.
"The love is a must, please don't be surprised by General Jin Shen."
Jin Ruhong was stunned.
He heard a crisp female voice, and then the curtain of the military tent was lifted up, and a beautiful girl walked in surrounded by two men.
"Brother Huo."
Shangguan Wanning winked at Huo Gang, and Huo Gang let go of Jin Ruhong, took a few steps back and came to Shangguan Wanning's side.
"Who are you? Do you know that trespassing into the imperial camp is a death sentence?"
Shangguan Wanning smiled slightly, sat down at the table calmly, and looked up at Jin Ruhong.
"Of course I know. But it doesn't matter if I die. Is General Jin willing to sacrifice his country for his life in such a cowardly battle?"
Jin Ruhong heard something in Shangguan Wanning's words.
His eyes glanced at the three men following him.
Any of them were the best masters in the world, but it seemed that they were just the followers of this woman.
If you can get such treatment, this woman's identity must be not simple.
Jin Ruhong sat down opposite Shangguan Wanning and sneered coldly: "Is it that the girl wants to help me?"
"good."
"Hahaha." Jin Ruhong laughed loudly, "I hope to hear it carefully."
"I know that the current military strength of the imperial court is enough to resist the Turkic army, but there is only a lack of a person who leads troops to fight. I hope General Jin Shen can stand up and be this person."
Jin Ruhong's face gradually became gloomy, and his eyes were even more unkind when he looked at Shangguan Wanning.
"I think, do I have this qualification? Everyone knows the current situation. So what if I stand up? If I win, the credit will be the most important thing; if I lose, I will lose my life."
"I have seen all the experiences of Jin Shen General. Before you were transferred here to be a general, you had followed Yi Yonghou to fight. He was a person he trusted very much. You have followed Yi Yonghou for many years and must have learned a lot of marches and wars.
abilities.”
"Besides, given the current situation of the court's food and grass and abundant military strength, if someone really knows how to lead the troops, it will be difficult to lose."
Jin Ruhong still didn't respond, but just smiled contemptuously.
"You are a little girl, but you know a lot."
Shangguan Wanning's expression became serious.
"General Jin, I think you don't want so many soldiers in comrades to die worthlessly, right? If you are willing to stand up and lead the troops to fight, I promise you that if you win, I will recommend you to the Minister of War.
I will ensure that your career will be smooth in the future; if I lose, I will let my father save your life and give you enough silver.”
Jin Ruhong's smile gradually solidified, and he looked at Shangguan Wanning carefully again.
"Who are you? What a big tone. Did you say you can see the Minister of War just by saying you want to see it?"
"Mu Jingrui, Minister of War, is my fiancé, and the prime minister Shangguan Yue is my father. The brave and brave marquis..." Shangguan Wanning's heart suddenly felt a sense of grief, "It's my grandfather. General Jin Shen, I just promised you.
Things can definitely be done."
Jin Ruhong's face changed drastically, and the cold eyes gradually became warm.
"You... are you really the Marquis' granddaughter?"
Zheng Guoxun was kind to Jin Ruhong for his kindness, and he was always resentful of his benefactor's death.
Shangguan Wanning took out a jade pendant from her arms and handed it over. "This is my grandfather's belonging. You have followed him for many years and should recognize him."
Jin Ruhong took his hands and spread them in his palm and looked at them carefully. "Yes... This is the Marquis's. He said that this was the gift given to him by his daughter when he celebrated his fortieth birthday. He kept it with him...
”
After saying that, Jin Ruhong knelt down.
"See the princess." Jin Ruhong held the jade pendant in both hands and gave it to Shangguan Wanning. "What is the princess's order? Even if he has any instructions, he will not refuse even if he is crushed to pieces."
"Get up quickly."
Shangguan Wanning helped Jin Ruhong up and said, "The peace of the border and the safety of the people will be entrusted to you, Jin Shen."
Jin Ruhong nodded heavily.
He always had a heart to serve the country, but his luck was not good. Except for the years he followed Zheng Guoxun, he was not valued at all.
After Zheng Guoxun's death, he was even more excluded.
Now, with Shangguan Wanning's guarantee, it means having Shangguan Yue as his backer. He suddenly became energetic.
When the Turkic army was preparing to attack again, Jin Ruhong bravely stood up and volunteered to be a vanguard.
This surprised everyone.
However, if someone is willing to take the blame in front of the situation, everyone is reluctant to ask for it.
Jin Ruhong quickly ordered his troops and led a team of troops to fight against the Turkic army according to his formation.
This battle lasted for a whole morning, and the Turkic troops fled everywhere, winning a great victory, and morale was greatly boosted for a moment.
"You must hand this letter back to Jing Rui in person." Shangguan Wanning handed the secret letter written to the secret guard.
"Miss, do you want to... let the post station send you away? I will stay to protect you?"
"No, the letter is about border wars, I'm not at ease to leave it to others."
"Of course, people will report to the court for 800 miles in a hurry."
"I'm worried... it may not be. No matter what, be careful to sail the ten thousand years of ship. Go quickly and be careful all the way."
