In the military headquarters of Yunqinru Dongling, briefings and military information from the front lines are still flowing in and out like a flowing stream.
Meng Bai's main work in the Central Military Intelligence Center has been from reviewing whether there are any errors or omissions in the military orders issued a month ago, to now starting to judge whether the military information transmitted is completely correct, whether there is any element of luring the enemy by the other side, and starting to coordinate the mobilization of the army.
.
Although everyone in the military still thinks of him as timid and cowardly, his ability has won everyone's respect. He has become one of the most important strategists on the front line at an astonishing speed.
Although some of his plans and maneuvers appear to be moderate and conservative in the eyes of the military, the Yunqin army does not seek quick success and quick gains, but only prudence and stability. Therefore, as long as he maintains such performance, he will definitely be among the frontline troops.
occupy a more important position.
Faced with the casualty figures in the briefings one after another, Meng Bai seemed to be used to it. No matter what emotions he felt in his heart every time he saw the numbers in the briefings that represented a loyal and brave Yunqin soldier, at least his expression had changed.
Able to be numb and calm.
A briefing document containing the news of the deaths of more than ten sergeants was delivered to him.
Such a number was considered extremely small in the course of the entire war. However, the moment he saw this briefing, his white and fat fingers kept trembling. His hands could not even squeeze out this thin sheet.
Thin paper.
He began to sob softly, sobbing so hard that his whole body seemed to be convulsing.
The thin piece of paper fell to the ground between his violently trembling fingers.
The sky in Nanling Province has been gloomy for several days.
At the moment when this briefing fell from Mong Bai's hands, it seemed as if the heavens were also sad and angry, and finally began to fall lightly.
A priest who was leaving a military camp somewhere in Nanling Province looked up at the sky.
He was certain that the snow would last for several days, and by then most of the land in Nanling Province would be covered in pure white snow.
Only the pure white snow can cover up the filth on the soil, but can it cover up the ugliness and conspiracy of the human heart?
The priest looked at the snowy sky and remained silent for a long time.
Fine snow was falling on the top of the military tent, and all the Yun and Qin generals in the tent had angry and ashamed expressions on their faces.
"Why was this Da Mang army able to discover General Li and his whereabouts! Why was this Da Mang army able to penetrate deep into the south bank of the Falling Star Tomb!"
A general kept asking questions in an extremely angry voice. Because of his anger, the knuckles of his hands were whiter than the white snow outside. This general was Zeng Rou, one of the highest generals in the entire southern army. During the Battle of Dong Jingling,
The top general of the military.
No one answered.
Because all the generals present know the answer.
That's why their faces were filled with expressions of anger and shame.
The orders and orders for the deployment of troops and generals on the front line come from the military headquarters.
If it was a large-scale mobilization, with the number of troops in the thousands, it might be possible to attract Da Mang's attention. However, a team of more than ten people had already evacuated from the front line to an area considered safe by the military... and was then intercepted by the enemy at night.
, this possibility is infinitely close to zero.
In fact, because there are important students of Qingluan in this team and outstanding generals who have performed extremely well on the front line, the entire dispatch is more secretive and less likely to cause trouble.
So there is only one possibility.
Zeng Rou's angry and stern questions only reminded them of the possibility: this team was betrayed by one of their own!
Only if someone from the military headquarters betrays the marching route of this small team to the enemy, will this small team fall into the enemy's siege.
To die in battle is a very common and honorable thing for any general in this big tent.
However, the death of these empire's best soldiers due to the conspiracy of their own people was enough to completely annihilate their reason with anger.
And for these soldiers, protecting their families and country and fighting for the empire are their own duties. The practitioners of Qingluan Academy and other practitioners of Yunqin are just helping the military with a fearless spirit...
But now, this team died because of problems with the military and because of betrayal by people within the military.
So they felt deeply ashamed and extremely ashamed.
"You are all those who participated in the battles of Dongjing Tomb and Shaohua Tomb. You also saw with your own eyes how Master Lin and the practitioners fought for Yunqin. I can tell you that Master Li is a good friend of Master Lin...
I don’t know how many military achievements he made on the front line and how many fights he experienced, but he did not die in those fights, but died in the hands of his own people!" Zeng Rou’s calm and cold face in the past became a bit ferocious, and he looked at everyone present.
The general said in a cold voice: "I don't care who is behind this secretly. I only know that this is the biggest shame of our military... No matter who it is, we must find out clearly! Will this be investigated clearly?"
Find them!"
In Nanling Province, where fine snow was falling, on a hill, two black-robed professors from Qingluan College stood silently.
"Do you want to tell Lin Xi the news?" One of the bookish female professors in black robes asked softly.
"It is impossible to hide this news. Since Vice President Xia supports all his decisions, all we can do is tell him the news." The one-eyed professor next to the female black-robed professor narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Whatever he wants to do, he does it."
…
Yanlai Town.
The sound of thousands of horses galloping suddenly sounded on the calm river surface.
As several gates of the river dam were opened at the same time, the river water accumulated in the reservoir behind the river dam rolled out like millions or tens of millions of fierce horses. The water level in the shoal suddenly rose steadily.
There were cheers on the river.
Dozens of huge merchant ships loaded with tung oil and other goods took advantage of the brief rise in water levels and the wind to sail past the shoals that had become impassable during shallow water seasons in previous years.
Suddenly, many townspeople and people on merchant ships watching the excitement on the riverbank let out a loud exclamation and admiration.
A small boat, sailing upstream, is unimaginably stable in the rolling river water, like a sharp arrow breaking through the water.
"It's King Zhang Long!"
Many people reacted, and a tsunami-like sound sounded.
When Zhang Longwang quietly left Donggang Town, not many people knew about it except for his brothers who were making a living on the river. However, today, all the people along the Xizi River know that their River Dragon King has become the Falling Star Lake Dragon King, and they all heard that.
It was said that this man in the world secretly performed many great deeds for the navy trained by Gu Yunjing in the Falling Star Mausoleum.
Lin Xi stood on the river dam and smiled as she looked at Zhang Longwang coming against the wind and waves.
Compared with when he returned to Yanlai Town a few days ago, the people in the town were no longer as excited as when they saw him. They only responded with respect from the bottom of their hearts. This also gave Lin Xi finally a few days of real peace and quiet.
of time.
Gao Yanan, who has completed the transformation from a beautiful girl to a woman, is even more indescribably beautiful, her eyebrows are more gentle, and she is overflowing with happiness.
Lin Xi waved to King Zhang Long.
Zhang Longwang saluted Lin Xi, and there was another roar of applause along the coast and on the river.
The atmosphere is warm and happy.
Everyone hopes to continue to be so happy and enthusiastic.
It's just that the townspeople around Yanlai Town knew that the Lin family had to go on a long trip for some business. Shopkeeper Lin also apologized when he handed out wedding candies and red eggs from door to door. He said that he would go on a long trip soon after the wedding. This seemed a bit inappropriate.
It makes sense, but there is indeed something urgent, so I can only wait until I come back from a long trip before inviting the neighbors to get together.
Because now everyone knows that Mr. Xiao Lin is not an ordinary person. Regarding the Lin family's eagerness to travel far away, all the neighbors did not inquire in detail about the reason. They just discussed it in the town and finally agreed with Jiang Shang's business to use this method to open the door.
The way of releasing water from the sluice to allow boats to pass was to see Mr. Xiaolin off.
This river dam was planned and built by Lin Xi. With this river dam, more tung oil produced in the upper reaches of the Xizi River will flow into various places in Yunqin.
This is Mr. Xiaolin's achievement. They know that Mr. Xiaolin must also like to see such a scene.
"It's a coincidence that you came back in time. Otherwise, if you were late tomorrow, I would have just left Yanlai Town and missed it."
Seeing Zhang Longwang holding his pennies in the water, jumping onto the river dam, and jumping in front of him, Lin Xi smiled and said: "Zhang Longwang is truly successful now, and from now on he will hide his fame and play in this river.
Between."
"I just wish it wasn't He Baihe and Master Lin, otherwise I could have put in more effort." Zhang Longwang looked at Lin Xi and Gao Yanan with emotion, "It's just a pity that I missed the big day."
Lin Xi smiled and said, "That will require a few more glasses of wine."
King Zhang Long smiled brightly and said, "If Mrs. Lin doesn't stop me, I can accompany you a thousand cups of wine and I won't stop getting drunk."
Hearing the word "Mrs. Lin", Gao Yanan's jade face, wearing a long coat with a white fox fur collar, which looked particularly pink and jade-like, suddenly turned slightly red.
At this moment, Lin Xi raised her head and looked at the sky in front of her.
In the rushing river, above the tall masts of the huge merchant ships, a faint yellow light emerged from the higher clouds.
Looking at the sacred tree flying crane that ordinary people couldn't see clearly, Lin Xi thought, wondering who from the academy had arrived.
The sacred tree flying crane flew closer, and a sound of wind fell.
An arrow with a pinched head fell towards Lin Xi.
Lin Xi's brows frowned slightly, and she held the feather arrow that fell from the sky.
Lin Xi untied the small sheepskin roll on the feather arrow and unfolded it.
Then the feather arrow and the small sheepskin scroll fell from his hand and fell into the foaming river in front of him.
The smile on Gao Yanan's face quickly faded. She wanted to ask Lin Xi what news she had received, but Lin Xi just held her hand.
She felt Lin Xi's hand was extremely cold, extremely cold.
"Let's talk about it when we go back." Lin Xi said this softly, and then said goodbye to the surrounding people in Yanlai Town one by one, and left Jiangba.
(Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow I’m going to Shanghai to talk about publishing and the subject of the next book, as well as the internal testing of the online game Fairy and Demon Transformation, etc. I have to go back to Wuxi on Friday, and the updates during the period may be very unstable. I hope you can forgive me. But good news
The simplified Chinese publication of Fairy and Demonic Transformation has been finalized. And Immortal and Demonic Transformation has just entered the final stage of the book, and there is still some time to go. Since all aspects of copyright management are going well, I also want to try my best to write more.
It's better, so don't push too hard. As long as I finish these few days and can sit down for more time, I will write a chapter that is as good as the previous chapters.)
