On the 12th day of the third month in the first year of Longsheng's reign (Wuyin), Ji's city was destroyed and Yong's army burned the city. Although Ji's defenders were expected to move to Anze, there were countless people who were old and weak and unable to walk. Ji's casualties were numerous, and the king of Qi showed
The evil reputation has become more and more popular, but upon closer inspection, there is no massacre of the city.
——"Zi Zhi Tong Jian·Yong Ji San"
Just at the critical moment, a sharp shout came, and a spear flew out from the grass on both sides of the road, hitting the middle of the horse. The horse deviated in some directions, but still shot towards Su Qing, but
This short time has allowed Ruyue to move. She rolled off the horse with Su Qing in her arms and fell into the dust. At this time, her mount seemed to be frightened by the sound of wind and thunder.
The horse's body, the horse neighed and fell to the ground. As soon as Ru Yue fell under the horse, he hugged Su Qing and rolled to the side. The heavy horse body was crushed by Ru Yue's side with only a slight difference.
Almost at the same time, Duan Lingxiao noticed the endless murderous intent coming from both sides of the road. He jumped up subconsciously. When he jumped into the air, countless crossbow arrows were shot at him. Duan Lingxiao took a deep breath of Qi, and his body moved strangely.
He turned around in the air and flew sideways. The flying crossbow arrows almost collided with each other. At the same time, the war horse he grabbed also fell to the ground with a scream. Duan Lingxiao flew to the ground and jumped out of the rocks and deep grass on both sides of the road.
Eight young warriors wearing black riding uniforms and soft armor surrounded Duan Lingxiao. Each of these young men held swords and shields in their hands. Almost everyone was between the ages of twenty-five and thirty.
One person has a calm demeanor, the dust under his feet is solid but not scattered, and his eyes are shining. At first sight, you can tell that he is one of the best among the Yong army. There is another person who is about twenty-eighty-nine years old, with a simple appearance, but his eyes are cold.
He shot, with murderous intent hidden all over his body. Just by looking at his expression, he knew that this person was the leader. He also had a horizontal sword in his hand, and a small stainless steel shield in his left hand. However, the horizontal sword was not unsheathed at the moment, and he was stuck in his waist.
Armed with two short spears, it was this man who saved Su Qing.
Duan Lingxiao sighed: "Who are you, and how could you intercept me here?"
The leading young man said loudly: "His Majesty Emperor Dayong, the deputy commander of the tiger and bodyguards in front of the emperor, and the commander of the guards of the Marquis of Chuxiang, Hu Yanshou, are here to wait for you on the orders of the Marquis of Chuxiang."
A cold light flashed in Duan Lingxiao's eyes, and he said: "Is Master Jiang setting up a trap to lure me into an ambush? Then he doesn't care about his subordinates too much. Are you confident that you can stop me?"
Hu Yanshou said loudly: "Your Excellency, there is no need to sow discord. Your Excellency has a clever calculation and knows that if you are still here, there is a high probability that you will attack General Su. Therefore, you ordered us to follow you secretly. When General Su was attacked, we had already sent the warning
According to reports, General Su risked his life and ran away the way he came, luring you into a dead end. We have recently learned a set of sword formations, and we are here to learn from you."
Duan Lingxiao said lightly: "The Marquis of Chuxiang is indeed cautious enough. If I don't take action, he is just being meddlesome. If I take action, he can find my traces, but his heart is vicious enough. If Su Qing doesn't have the ability,
After escaping, he soon lost one of his capable subordinates. Isn't it a pity that a talent like Miss Su was sacrificed by him? Moreover, he sent someone to set up an ambush, but he did not let his confidant Evil Shadow Li Shun come.
You came here to die, are such cruel, greedy and fearful people worthy of you risking your lives for him?"
Anger flashed in Hu Yanshou's eyes, and he said coldly: "It's not your turn to judge how good my family is as a person. He is ruthless and ruthless. He is a good man in nature. If you say that you are greedy for life and afraid of death, you would not have behaved suavely in front of the master of Fengyi Sect in the past.
To put it mildly, what’s more, Mr. Li is your lord’s personal attendant, so he doesn’t have to go into battle to kill the enemy. We have all been taught our martial arts skills by Mr. Li, so how about you give me some advice?”
Following his words, the tiger guards each took a step forward, and the momentum of the suddenly shrinking formation suddenly increased. However, Duan Lingxiao, who was quite skilled in the transformation of the Qimen Dunjia formation, seemed to have many flaws. He couldn't help but notice it slightly.
At that time, Hu Yanshou had already pulled out his horizontal sword and stepped forward with his shield. 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
It was a sword formation formed by merging the positive and negative nine palaces. Unexpectedly, the real number of people was nineteen. The original plausibility made him, a person who knew some formations, despise him. But after Hu Yanshou entered the formation, a dragnet was formed. This kind of
A sudden blow can be enough to frustrate the morale of the person trapped in the formation. If the person who set up the formation is aiming at himself, then his ambition will be too terrible. Duan Lingxiao finally couldn't help it. Before the sword formation was activated,
He asked: "Who taught this sword formation? Is General Huyan always the last to enter the formation?"
Hu Yanshou was slightly stunned, and the words he was about to order to fight were blocked. He thought to himself, even if you want to delay the time, it doesn't matter. At this moment, there are more than a hundred cavalry coming here. When they arrive, you will
Even with three heads and six arms, he couldn't escape, so Hu Yanshou replied: "The formation was taught by Mr. Jiang, and the sword skills were personally taught by Mr. Li. It was originally used to protect the master, but today it is used to eliminate evil spirits. It is also a good thing."
Duan Lingxiao smiled slightly when he heard this. He had used the secret method of the Demon Sect to detect two armies running from different directions within a few miles. The enemy situation was clear and he could escape now, but this sword formation was not
It can be understood in a short time that the most likely reason is that he killed most of the tiger guards, but was trapped by Yong's army. He was in a dilemma of life and death. Fortunately, he already had a plan to escape.
Duan Lingxiao laughed loudly in the sword formation, stood with his hands behind his hands and said: "It's strange, it's strange, Duan heard that Fengyimen is a traitor to Dayong, and everyone can be punished, but I didn't expect that now I see Fengyimen."
A disciple of Fengyi Sect serves in the army. Miss Su Qingsu, you are the direct disciple of Fengyi Sect Master Fan Qinghui. That’s not right. The direct disciples of Fengyi Sect Master all have names and surnames, but I have never heard of anyone with the surname Su.
, but Miss Su’s martial arts skills can be regarded as the best among the second and third generation disciples of Fengyi Sect. I wonder who Miss Su learned from?”
His words were like thunder, and even the iron-hearted warriors of the Yong Army could not help but look at Su Qing in shock. Su Qing, who had been lifted up by the maid, was already pale as snow and was shocked by these words.
Shocked, there was an aura of extreme despair all over his body. Even the most ignorant person could understand that Duan Lingxiao had revealed the most ulterior secret in Su Qing's heart. At this moment when the breath was stagnant, Duan Lingxiao had already caught a gap in the sword formation.
, everyone was caught off guard, and flew out, his body turned into a flowing rainbow, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. His cold voice came from the wind: "Su Qing, your martial arts background has been leaked, I want to see how you do.
Stay in Yongjun."
There was silence in the field, and countless eyes fell on Su Qing. She stood proudly, as strong as a snowy plum in winter, but her expression was extremely sad and sad. It can be seen that what Duan Lingxiao said was not to sow discord, she was really a phoenix. Disciple of Yimen.
Fengyi Clan, that name that used to be so famous but is now avoided is still deep in everyone's heart. It once controlled the government and the public for many years, and had all the power in the world. However, it fell apart due to conspiracy and rebellion. The former Fengyi Clan Except for those who escaped without a trace, most of the remaining disciples have become victims of the struggle for imperial power. Some were forced to run away from home because of the incompatibility of their parents and husbands. They even spent the rest of their lives living in Qingdeng Ancient Buddha, and some received His family protected him, but he has been depressed since then and will never see his former glory again. The military is trying its best to eliminate the influence of Fengyi Clan. Once it is related to Fengyi Clan, it is impossible to stay in the army even if it is not dead. However, , Su Qing, the dignified Dayong Si Wen Cao's North Commandery Division's Northern Han intelligence network's general, a third-grade general, an outstanding female figure, turned out to be a disciple of Fengyi Sect, how could it not be shocking when word spread.
Several cavalrymen who had seen the fight between Su Qing and Duan Lingxiao just now felt uneasy. Su Qing's sword just now was like a frenzy, gorgeous and magnificent, and indeed had the shadow of Fengyi Sect's swordsmanship, but they had never had such an idea, so they did not realize it. , Duan Lingxiao must have known the Fengyi Sect’s martial arts very well, so he discovered Su Qing’s true inheritance. Unknowingly, everyone surrounded Su Qing.
Ruyue looked at the indifferent Su Qing and suddenly said loudly: "You are going too far. Miss has been fighting for Dayong for many years. She just escaped from the Northern Han Dynasty not long ago. If Miss didn't fight to the death today, how could Lingxiao have fallen into this trap?" Ambush, you would rather trust the words of an enemy than a colleague who lives and dies together. What's the truth?" After speaking, she was already filled with grief and anger. She hugged Su Qing and burst into tears. Everyone looked at each other, especially The Yong Army warriors who had just seen Su Qing's bloody battle with Duan Lingxiao looked even more guilty.
Hu Yanshou coughed and asked: "General Su, is what that man said true? If he is lying, please speak clearly to General Su, and we will defend General Su." Everyone knew what he meant, and as long as Su Qing said If it is not the truth, then he is willing to conceal the matter. Everyone thinks so in their hearts. No matter what Su Qing's background is, they only need to know that this woman, like them, will not hesitate to live for Dayong, and that is enough.
At this time, smoke and dust were billowing in the distance. The Dayong cavalry who came to support finally arrived. When they got closer, they were shocked by the strange atmosphere. They automatically stopped their mounts and looked at the crowd inexplicably. The cold wind blew by and they were surrounded by more than a thousand people. Among them, a woman in green clothes stood there with an expression as cold as ice. There was silence between heaven and earth. Except for the sound of wind and the occasional horse neighing in a low voice, there was no other sound.
Su Qing broke away from Ruyue's support, walked a few steps forward, walked to Hu Yanshou, and smiled slightly. The smile was as bright as a ray of sunshine in winter, but it was also as desolate as a flash in the pan. Her every word, her voice was like gold and stone, He said loudly: "Duan Lingxiao is not a trap. My mentor, Su Qing, is the first disciple of Fengyi Sect, Wenshi Ziyan. Although Su Qing is only a registered disciple of my mentor, my mentor's kindness is profound. Su Qing still admires me in his heart. Although he is forced to Due to the situation, I dare not say it clearly, but I, Su Qing, have never forgotten the deep friendship that my mentor saved my life and taught me the swordsmanship. However, I, Su Qing, have never forgotten that I am the general of Dayong, and I think I have never done anything. I'm sorry for the imperial court's affairs. Today's matter has been leaked. After all, it is difficult to hide it from the eyes and ears of the world. Su Qing is here. You can do whatever you want. But although Ruyue is my maid, she doesn't know about it. I Among the many brothers under my command, no one knows the origin of me, Su Qing, and I would like to ask you all to testify and clear their names." Just after saying these words, Su Qing felt dizzy, internally injured and disheartened. She was unable to hold on, and the moon-like call came to her ears. Su Qing only felt her limp body falling into a warm embrace. She sighed softly, that's all, let God decide her fate, 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 she has returned to the old life of a protected, carefree and frivolous young lady. In the haze, she feels like she was lying in her mother's arms when she was a child, listening to her mother whisper.
Singing nursery rhymes, I let myself fall into a deep sleep willingly. Unknowingly, a crystal teardrop slipped from the corner of my eye, thinking about the happy life that I would never find again, and the parents and relatives I would never see again.
Opening his eyes hazily, Su Qing felt the existence of life again. He had worked hard every day for many years in the Northern Han Dynasty, and was always alert to the warning signs around him even in his sleep. After returning to Dayong, the heavy burden in his heart still existed, so Su Qing
It had been a long time since Qing had such a sound sleep. She sat up and found herself lying on a warm and comfortable soft couch, with low curtains and the smell of high-quality incense in the air. Su Qing will
The quilt was pulled off, and she saw that she was wearing a white coat, and it seemed to be a change of clothes that she had brought with her. She opened the curtain and found that the surroundings were surrounded by wooden boards, the ground was shaking slightly, and there were no windows, but the air in the room was not
It's not dirty, this must be a cabin on the ship. Looking around, I saw that there wasn't much decoration in the room, but there were tables, chairs, bookshelves, an incense burner on the bedside, and paintings and calligraphy hanging on the wall. It looked very...
Fresh and elegant. Su Qing was shocked. Even if she woke up and found herself in jail, she would not be so surprised, but she was particularly surprised to receive such preferential treatment on the battlefield.
She saw a set of blue military uniforms and soft armor placed on a chair next to her. They were all her own clothes, but they had been cleaned and mended. She put on her clothes, put on her combat boots, and placed her own weapons on the desk.
She also put away the hidden weapons and hidden weapons one by one. It seemed that she had not been dismissed from the military, and Su Qing felt a little relieved. After arranging her clothes, Su Qing suddenly felt hungry in her belly, and she didn't know how long it had been since she had eaten.
Just looking at her internal injuries, she knew that she had been injured for at least two or three days. Just as she was about to push the door open, the hatch was opened from the outside, and Ruyue walked in with a slightly sad look on her face.
When she saw Su Qing, she rushed over with great joy, hugged Su Qing's body and cried loudly. Su Qing's heart warmed up, and he didn't push her away, saying: "Silly girl, my clothes are all wet from your crying."
." Ruyue quickly let go of her hand and said while wiping her tears: "The supervisor said that the young lady is about to wake up and asked me to come and take a look. He said that if the young lady wakes up, please go to the front hall to have a meal."
Su Qing was shocked and looked a little pale. Some things cannot be avoided after all. She forced a smile and said: "Really? I have been in a coma for a few days. Why am I so hungry?" Ruyue said: "The young lady was injured and unconscious that day. Hu Yan
The general brought the young lady back to the ship, and after checking her pulse, the military supervisor said that the internal injuries of the young lady were not serious, but that she was just a little overtired and suffered a psychological shock, which is why she fell into a coma. The gentleman said that the young lady should have a good rest for a few days.
So I added sleeping medicine to the wound medicine, and now it is the fourth day. In addition to taking medicine these days, the lady has also taken ginseng soup, no wonder she is so hungry."
Su Qing hesitated and asked: "Ruyue, does the supervisor already know about that matter?"
Ru Yue secretly glanced at Su Qing's face and said: "The supervisor issued a gag order not to leak out the events of that day. After that, he left the young lady on the ship to recuperate from her injuries. I don't know anything else."
Su Qing felt uneasy and said, "Take me to see Mr. 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 could not overcome the temptation of food. She almost exhausted all her body energy.
She had the strength to resist the urge to pick up the chopsticks immediately. But one of Jiang Zhe's movements made her completely lose control. Jiang Zhe pointed his finger at the table. This was an action with clear meaning. Su Qing almost jumped on it without even saying hello.
At the table, she began to feast. It was not until she was full that she returned to normal thinking. Thinking of the blunder just now, Su Qing's face turned red, and she stood up and said, "I'm sorry, sir. Please forgive me."
I have been watching Su Qing's actions. Speaking of which, this woman is indeed from a famous family. Although she devoured her food, she still maintained her basic manners, but her movements were a little faster. But I could understand her mood, hunger and relaxation.
It makes people unable to control themselves. If she were in the hands of an opponent, she would never relax like this. The hesitation in my heart these past few days suddenly disappeared, 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 and had been helping with the dishes, and was actually protecting me personally, and asked Su Qing, "General Su, I wonder if you can tell me more about the commander?"
Su Qing knew that the honor and disgrace of his future life and death would be at this moment, and he did not dare to neglect at all, saying: "After Mo Jiang broke up with Duan Wudi seven years ago, because he was so sad and angry, he fled into the mountains. He didn't know how long he walked before he passed out.
There are many tigers and leopards in the mountains, and Mo Jiang was already determined to die. However, when he woke up, he found himself in a cave, surrounded by campfires and wild game. Someone rescued Mo General and placed him there. The person who saved Mo General was
The late master heard about Zi Yan. After the late master asked about my life experience, he was very sympathetic. Seeing that the general had learned martial arts when he was young, he intended to take the general as his disciple. However, after the late master asked the former master, he knew that the Fengyi Sect disciples needed
He had to obey the order of the sect master, and it was even more impossible to join the army to kill the enemy. He was about to escape from death. He had made a vow in his heart that he would join the Yong army and avenge his hatred, so he declined the kindness of his master. After his master knew Su Qing's intention, he was very happy.
He appreciated it, and deliberately stayed for ten more days to teach Su Qing swordsmanship and martial arts. However, in order to avoid being known by others, and seeing that the mental methods learned by the last general were authentic Taoists, the master did not teach Fengyi Sect internal skills to Su Qing.
The swordsmanship taught was also the killing move that the master had learned by himself. Although they had a master-disciple relationship, they had no formal status. Later, after Su Qing mastered swordsmanship, he became famous in the Central Plains and successfully joined the Yong Army. The last general and the first
The contact with my master was even more secretive. Apart from meeting once a year in the cave where my master and apprentice met, we never met again. My first master said that she was deeply favored by her master and would never abandon her, no matter life or death, good or bad.
Bu Li, the disciple just learned some rudimentary sword moves, and she didn't want the disciple to get involved in a power struggle. So no one in the Fengyi Sect knew about the last general and the former master. The former master had left her in the cave before the incident in the Hunting Palace.
She gave the swordsmanship experience and a suicide note to the general, saying that she would be a great treason by leaving the master's school. If it succeeds, that's all. If it fails, let the general not bear the grudge against the person who killed her. She is willing to be the master.
At the end of the sentence, Su Qing was already filled with tears. She stood up and bowed down and said: "Sir, although the late master has done something treacherous and unethical, please remember that the late master is really burdened by foolish loyalty and foolish filial piety.
Su Qing is allowed to go and pay homage to his ancestor."
After listening to what Su Qing said, I just felt sad in my heart and said: "Although my commander did something wrong, even the emperor said that her marching and fighting were in harmony with the art of war, and her temperament was unparalleled. That day, my commander personally led an army to chase and kill the emperor.
, defeating more with less, almost forcing the emperor into a desperate situation. Afterwards, Lingshi and Xiao Shunzi fought in front of the formation. After losing, he committed suicide. His temperament was strong, and the emperor also lamented it. The Blood-Handed Rakshasa was indeed the master of Fengyi Sect.
The most proud and outstanding disciple, now I know the past events from your mouth. Wen Nuxia was still a strange woman who could distinguish right from wrong. Unfortunately, she was trapped by loyalty and filial piety, which led to her death and reputation. General Su and the emperor also told Wen that day.
The female hero admired her so much that she was secretly buried in Lishan Mountain. If you go to the imperial capital in the future, I will send someone to take you there to worship."
A look of gratitude flashed in Su Qing's eyes, and she kowtowed respectfully a few times. At this moment, Xiao Shunzi suddenly said coldly: "Don't you remember grudges against me?"
Su Qing glanced at Xiao Shunzi and said calmly: "Master, if you seek benevolence and get benevolence, what's the point of resentment?"
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 gag order on your matter, there is no airtight wall, so I will report it secretly."
Your Majesty Ming, but the Emperor is magnanimous. General Su is loyal to the court and has contributed to the country. The Emperor will not blame him. I am not sure how the Emperor will deal with the arrangements so far and in the future. But don't worry, General Su. You can at least see the demise of the Northern Han Dynasty."
Su Qing was overjoyed and worshiped again: "The only wish in Su Qing's heart is to see the Northern Han Dynasty destroyed. If this wish can be fulfilled, even if the emperor sentences me to a serious crime, Su Qing will die without any regrets. Please allow Su Qing to return to the throne."
Return to the battlefield and serve Dayong."
I stretched out my hand to support him and said, "I will explain to the King of Qi that he will not object to this matter. General Su will be able to leave after one more day's rest. Now there is a great need for General Su to scout military planes outside."
Su Qing stood up and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Supervisor. Su Qing has fully recovered and can go into battle now. I wonder what the military situation is outside?"
I smiled and said: "Yesterday, our army captured Jishi. Jishi's defender evacuated the civilians to Anze in advance. He escaped overnight after holding on to the city for a day. Our army burned Jishi. The flames have not been extinguished to this day. Qi Shi
His Royal Highness led the army directly to Anze, and the navy is also heading towards Anze. However, the navy's baggage was damaged in the past few days, and the subsequent baggage will not arrive until two days later."
Su Qing said: "Anze is guarded by Duan Wudi himself. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. I am afraid it will be difficult to capture. If the general had sent people to spread rumors, he would say that Duan Wudi framed Shi Ying and convicted him. There are different opinions, and it would be difficult for Duan Wudi to tell the truth.
What do you think, sir?"
I raised my hand and said with a smile: "It's exactly what I want. Even if General Su doesn't wake up today, I will still give orders to proceed like this. In addition to Duan Wudi's direct descendants, the Anze garrison also has many old Quartz troops. If they can jump to Anze
If there is civil strife in Anze, our army can easily capture Anze."
Su Qing said cautiously: "My lord, although Duan Wudi did not have any outstanding achievements in battle, he was unable to do anything. Today, although he used tricks to alienate his military morale, please tell His Highness the King of Qi not to underestimate the Anze defenders."
I nodded and said: "You are right. If not, Duan Wudi would not have become Long Tingfei's most reliable right-hand man. If Ghost Faced General Tan Ji is Long Tingfei's spear, Iron Wall General Duan Wudi is Long Tingfei's spear."
Ting Fei's shield, now that the spear has been destroyed and the shield has been damaged, I would like to see how Long Ting Fei directs the battle."
A trace of lament suddenly flashed through Su Qing's heart. Facing the heavy pressure, how would Duan Wudi respond? I want to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty, and you have to protect the Northern Han Dynasty. I don't know who among you and me can fulfill our wish, but Su Qing
She knew in her heart that no matter who could fulfill their long-cherished wish, there was no room for change between her and Duan Wudi.
