Chapter 457

At this moment, Huaiqing felt a "boom" in his mind. He had a sense of panic that he had hidden the deepest secret and was mercilessly punctured, which made him feel slightly at a loss.

He, he knows I'm number one. He already knows who I am?!

He has been sending me letters in private these days, and he has repeatedly wanted to meet me, but I severely refused. He, what he thought at that time, must have a secret smile in his heart, no, even a direct smile...

he not only knew my identity, but also announced it in front of Li Miaozhen...

the emperor's eldest daughter's beautiful and refined face froze and opened her eyes slightly With her ingenuity, this is a very poor performance.

Li Miaozhen's eyes immediately glared, and her small mouth was so long that she could insert eggs. She didn't expect to hear such powerful news.

Number one is Huaiqing, the princess of the royal family, and the eldest daughter of emperor Yuanjing?!

After the shock, Li Miaozhen thought of his own mantra in heaven and Earth Society: "I want to stab emperor Yuanjing to death", "is emperor Yuanjing dead?" When will emperor Yuanjing die

Tianzong saint's scalp is a little numb, and her neck is bulging with goose bumps. She has the impulse to rush out of the room and jump into the well.

Embarrassment made her feel almost ashamed.

Huaiqing's eyes flashed for a moment, and he regained his cool composure. He said faintly: "when did you know that, Yunlu academy student, Mr. Xu..."

Huaiqing is really an old Yin Yang person! Xu Qian's expression was slightly stiff, coughed and said quietly:

"recently, for example, his highness was extremely clever and instructed Lin'an to borrow books from Wenyuan Pavilion."

When speaking, Xu Qi'an took a look at Li Miaozhen on his side. He said that it was so good that everyone died together.

Huaiqing nodded and his face was calm: "Mr. Xu is really smart. He deserves to be a scholar who has read the books of sages and sages. He is no worse than your elder brother who stood alone against eight thousand rebels in Yunzhou."

Xu Qi'an nodded slowly: "I'm flattered. Your highness is the most intelligent person in the heaven and Earth Society. He arouses Lin'an's interest in hunting by taking advantage of the autumn hunting map, and hides himself very well."

Huaiqing said with no expression: "Mr. Xu is so powerful, do other people know?"

"Don't, don't talk..." Li Miaozhen covered her face in silence.

Xu Qi'an and Huai Qing were silent at the same time, and they kept silent.

As long as we are not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.

Xu Qi'an looked at the emperor's eldest daughter, who was as calm as usual, and muttered a few words in his heart:

If I hadn't seen you just now, I would have thought you didn't have a sense of shame and a clear conscience...

Li Miaozhen cleared his throat, looked at them, and proposed: "today's event is only for the three of us, how about it?"

"I don't mind." Xu Qi'an nodded calmly.

Wonderful, great assists!

Huaiqing nodded, looked at him lightly and said, "who else knows your identity?"

Xu Qian replied, "no, just the two of you."

Automatically ignore Lina.

And silence for a moment, Huaiqing back to the topic of the right way, said: "the case has been found out?"

Xu Qi'an said, "well, before that, you two answer me a question, your highness, are you the fragments of the land book you got six years ago?"

Huaiqing was stunned and did not refute.

Xu Qian asked again, "Miaozhen, you are the fragments of the earth book that Taoist Jinlian gave you when he went to Tianzong."

Li Miaozhen was surprised: "how do you know?"

My conjecture is not wrong, right...... "Xu Qi'an breathed out a breath and said:" I really find out the case. First of all, I want to tell you one thing. Taoist Jinlian is the head of the local clan. "

Huaiqing and Li Miaozhen's expression is frozen in an instant.

Huaiqing's face was solemn and serious, and he said, "what's going on?"

"The Taoist priest of the land clan was possessed, but he didn't fall into it completely. His good thoughts split and he became the Taoist priest of Jinlian. Miaozhen, you should remember that when guarding the lotus seed, Taoist priest Jinlian entangled heilian alone and entangled with his wisp of demons. " Xu Qi'an looks at Tianzong saint.

Li Miaozhen frowned: "I was really confused at that time. Even if it was a wisp of demonic ideas, it was also the demonic ideas of the second grade. Taoist Jinlian was not even the third grade. How could I fight against it? It's just... "

it's just that you don't bother to think! Xu Qian make complaints about himself.

If Huaiqing was present at that time, he would think about more things. Unfortunately, Huaiqing is a weak chicken and has no accomplishments.

Xu Qi'an did not stop. He retelled his and Luo Yuheng's conjecture to them. In this retelling, Luo Yuheng's work and name were hidden, but they did not appear.

It is not easy for him to tell the secret friendship between himself and the national teacher, unless the national teacher allows it.

In the process, Huaiqing's face changed greatly, stunned, angry, gloomy... In the end, his face was as deep as water, silent, as if he lost the function of language.Li Miaozhen's expression solidified into: stare and open mouth. It's like a solidified puppet.

In those days, the Taoist priest of di Zongdao seemed normal, but in fact, he had the sign of being possessed. Huaiwang and Yuanjing met him in Nanyuan, so they were polluted and turned into a madman who seemed normal, but in fact had a distorted psychology.

So the king of Huai slaughtered the city and made alchemy for his own sake.

Therefore, Emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty knew that Qi transportation could not prolong his life, but he didn't believe in evil.

Normal people don't do this, but what if they are half crazy people with distorted mentality?

"It turns out that the culprit of all this is Taoist Jinlian..." Li Miaozhen murmured in a sigh like tone.

"So, you asked me to meet in private that day, instead of using the land book to send a letter, because you were afraid of being seen by Taoist priest Jinlian. You didn't trust Taoist priest Jinlian." Huaiqing whispered.

"Yes, I'm not sure Taoist Jinlian knows these things. I, I don't believe him any more." Xu Qi'an sighed.

Huaiqing nodded, for everyone will be like this, thought to be trusted predecessors, found that is the culprit of all.

"Is the abnormality of the Dragon underground another incarnation of Taoist Jinlian?" Li Miaozhen asked.

Damn, I didn't infer the truth of the case at all. I fell behind Xu Qian so much because he didn't share the clue with me..... The holy daughter of Tianzong bowed her respect.

"I don't know. In half a month, I will explore the dragon vein again. This time, there will be results." Xu Qi'an did not explain why there was a result this time.

Li Miaozhen and Huaiqing did not ask much.

"So, the soul pill is actually the one needed in the underground dragon veins, and so is the pill refined by my father these years?" Huaiqing pondered.

"It should be." Xu Qian said.

Hesitating for a moment, she asked, "can father still clean up the pollution?"

"First of all, we need to understand the nature of pollution. If a person's nature changes, it is difficult to recover," Xu said. If he is under control, Taoist Jinlian may have a way

The former is that one's own nature has gone bad, and it is difficult to recover. The latter only needs to be released.

Hearing this, Li Miaozhen broke in and said, "no, even if his nature is bad, if Buddhist monks can help, Yuan Jingming will be able to see his nature and restore his true nature."

Huaiqing's eyes are slightly bright.

"By the way, do you want to tell Lina about these things?" Feiyan asked.

"Tell her what to do?" Xu Qian asked.

Huaiqing didn't speak, but looking at Li Miaozhen's eyes, he was also expressing the same meaning.

"Just shout at her when you fight. You don't have to use your head. Don't embarrass people." Xu Qian said.

That makes sense! Li Miaozhen nodded slowly.

Agreed to wait half a month later, Xu Qi'an sent Huaiqing out of the house.

Before leaving, Huaiqing lowered her voice and said, "in half a month, if all the truth is revealed, you don't have to leave the capital."

All the officials and supervisors will try their best to solve the problem of half madness.

Don't you want to leave me?... Xu Qi'an smiles and doesn't answer.

After a pause, Huaiqing said: "during this period, I will resume all the clues. If there is any problem, I will inform you."

Then she got into the carriage and drove away from the street.

...

the broken city, inside the urn.

The senior generals of Dafeng gathered together and quarreled fiercely.

Wei Yuan turned a deaf ear and stood in front of the Canyu map.

Ten days have passed since the city of Dingguan was defeated. Under the leadership of Wei Yuan, the army attacked the city and pulled out the stronghold, like a sharp knife, penetrating into the hinterland of Yan state.

Now it has captured seven cities and advanced hundreds of miles. The city it is now in is called Xucheng, which is the last pass of the capital of Yan state.

It's only one step short of hitting the capital of Yan state. In ten days, Wei Yuan just lost his armor and abandoned his armor in this country, which is known as innumerable dangers.

As for the capital of Yan state, there are serious differences among the generals of the army whether to fight or not.

Because Dafeng's army was in a state of extreme distress and lack of food!

"Why hasn't food and grass come yet? According to the previous deployment, the first batch of food and grass should have arrived three days ago. We can't fight any more. The battle line is too long. Our supply line is broken. How can we fight without food, without artillery, without crossbow? "

A young general stood up with a grim face and said, "from Dingguan city to Xucheng, we have lost more than half of the taxi drivers. The capital of Yan state is surrounded by mountains on both sides. We can't chew it with our present troops. If there is no accident, there must be a shaman in the state of Yan. "

Zhao Ying, a young general, was born in the imperial army. He was a master of four grades. He was an outstanding member of the Dafeng young and strong school.

He was the leader of the conservatives who advocated retreat.

The radical faction, led by Nangong qianrou, advocated to attack the state of Yan with one drum."Another 60 miles to the northeast is the capital of Yan state. After the capture of Xucheng, our food and ammunition have been replenished, and we are able to support another battle." Nangong qianrou said faintly:

"we can get here by the four words of" the army is expensive and the speed is high ". Once we retreat, it will give Yanguo a chance to breathe. But if we capture Yandu, we will be able to replenish our armaments and supplies. "

To get such a big victory, it all depends on the quick decision of the adoptive father, who almost put all his eggs in one basket, and defeated the momentum of the Yan army. Now the Fengjun army is full of momentum. It's time to work hard.

Once retreated, the invincible trend subsided. Facing such a precipitous city as the capital of Yan state and the reinforcements of Kang state, it was difficult to win.

Zhao Ying stares at Nangong qianrou fiercely and says in a deep voice:

"it's not suitable for Yandu. Yandu is surrounded by mountains on both sides. It's easy to defend but hard to attack. There are flying beasts in the mountains, which is far from comparable to other cities. In addition, we even slaughtered seven cities. Along the way, the common people, the people in the rivers and lakes, and the defeated soldiers of Yan kingdom are all fleeing to Yandu.

"If the city is broken, everyone will die. This is their consensus. Today, Yan city must unite as one and stick to the city. We can't afford it. And once we lose a lot in the siege, it's the other side's counterattack, which may lead to the collapse of the whole army.

"It's better to retire for a while, rest, replenish our supplies and armaments, and come back again."

Yandu is easy to defend but hard to attack. Most of the generals here have no confidence, so there are more conservatives than the main fighters.

The reason why they are still arguing is that they still have expectations for Wei Yuan.

"Rest all night, start tomorrow, and the army will be in the city." Wei Yuan pointed to the capital of Yan state on the map.

The dispute died down.

Sixty miles away, the capital of Yan state was built in a huge valley. The towering city wall, stretching 300 feet, connects the two peaks.

The mountain is steep and precipitous, the city wall is towering and tall, supplemented by artillery, bed crossbow, rolling stone and other defense equipment, which can be regarded as solid as gold. Any military strategist will be amazed to see this city.

Throughout history, since the establishment of the capital of the state of Yan, the city has only broken once in 1400 years. That was the peak of the Zhou Dynasty. A prince of the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty, he Daowu Fu, er pin, led his army into the capital of Yan.

According to the historical records of the state of Yan, the war was very fierce. A rain master (second grade) and a Linghui (third grade) were killed by the sorcerer. Finally, the sorcerer himself killed the prince of second grade.

It's not that Yandu's defense is not good, but that the opponent's combat power has stood at the top of Kyushu.

National capital, palace.

Nuerhega, the monarch of Yan state, is still big despite his gray hair. He has great talent. He took the route of martial arts when he was young. After the peak of four grades, he never made any progress.

Then he transferred to the wizard system. After four grades, he entered the bottleneck again.

Two systems are very rare. It's not that different systems will repel each other, but that it's difficult to practice. Only by focusing on one system can we go further.

Nuerhega, who is over 50 years old, is no longer qualified for the three categories, whether it is the Wufu system or the wizard system.

He doesn't think it's a pity that the top three are rare, and it's normal that they can't be repaired. And his dual system, single combat effectiveness, is better than any system of four.

He Nuer sat on the throne and listened to the heated discussion.

Yanguo's high-level officials were not depressed and angry because of Wei Yuan's strength, so they had already prepared for a big defeat.

"Wei Yuan has captured Xucheng, and tomorrow he will be at the foot of the city."

"How can he break seven cities in a short period of ten days?"

"Can the kingdom be held?"

Inside the hall, the atmosphere was dignified, and the ministers of the burning state looked grim, as if they were facing the enemy.

At this moment, some of the old ministers seemed to return to the Shanhaiguan campaign, recalling the fear and shame dominated by Wei Yuan.

"According to the news from the dog holding scouts, there are only 50000 troops left in the Fengjun army at most. No matter how Wei Yuan uses his troops like a God, it is extremely difficult for him to break the capital with 50000 troops."

"Today, the whole city is united as one, with sufficient garrison, armament and food. It's a big deal to fight with Wei Wei. "

"..."

nurhega couldn't help looking at the old man, who was wrapped in a robe, wearing a hood and holding a gold staff inlaid with gems, and said respectfully, "what's your opinion, master irbu?"

In the three northeastern countries, each country has a Sanpin Linghui as its national teacher, who usually does not participate in government affairs, but has a higher status than the monarch of a country, because they represent the general arena and the sorcery.

Yierbu, who was lucky enough to recover his life in Chuzhou, held a golden staff and said in a deep voice: "fifty thousand troops of Kang have entered the territory of Yan state. In five days at most, they can form a encirclement with us."

Nuerhega nodded: "Yandu has been standing for more than a thousand years and has experienced many wars. It has only been broken once. Wei Yuan wants to break the city, but he can't do it in a short time. But for Fengjun now, time is crucial. They are short of food and grass. "The officials in the hall nodded slowly:

"even, as long as the Kang army cut off their food and grass supply routes, we can keep the city, and within three days, we can make Wei Yuan withdraw."

"It depends on Wei Yuan how to fight this battle."

Ilbo's eyes went through the door and looked out into the blue sky.

Wei Yuan, you think you are the most intelligent and resourceful. You think everything you did last year is watertight. Oh, I don't know we are waiting for you.

It's a fool's dream that less than 100000 troops want to fight in the general arena.

At the end of the broken city, Wei Yuan was dressed in a dark blue cloak. Looking down from a bird's-eye view, a great soldier pushed a flatbed cart and threw a corpse into a pit and a torch.

The smoke rose, mixed with the smell of flesh and blood burning.

There were not only the soldiers and common people of Yan Kingdom, but also the soldiers of Dafeng.

In a short period of ten days, the great Fengjun army destroyed more than 30000 generals and soldiers.

The soldiers act in silence. The war in recent days and the baptism of blood and fire make the soldiers silent. The brave spirit is hidden in the silence.

Nangong qianrou came to Wei Yuan's back and said in a low voice, "adoptive father, after this battle, you can't escape the curse of the Qing Dynasty."

In Nangong qianrou's opinion, there is nothing wrong with killing JIANGZU. Dafeng's army is a lonely army that goes deep into the enemy's belly. Instead of killing JIANGZU, they are tired.

We should not only worry about the rebellion, but also have more mouths to eat and consume food and grass.

But killing the people is a taboo of the military, not to mention slaughtering seven cities. Even if he returns to the DPRK triumphantly, he will be criticized by those Taoists.

Since the troops were sent out, the grain and grass from Dafeng had never been here. All the way, they burned, killed and plundered, and supported the war with war. What they plundered were all the grain and grass and armaments of Yan state.

This is not a good phenomenon.

The generals of the new generation only said that they were the adoptive father's unique mode of leading the army, and they were very excited after tasting the sweetness one after another. But now, I gradually realize that something is wrong.

So the new generation chose to withdraw.

The new generation of generals are still like this, not to mention Nangong qianrou, who has followed Wei Yuan for more than ten or twenty years.

"There will be no food."

Wei Yuan's smile was as gentle as ever, and his tone was as plain as ever: "as much food and grass as we bring, there is only food and grass. Dafeng will not give any more grain. "

"Who dares to run out of food?" ***

"The whole Dafeng, who else is there?" Wei Yuan asked with a smile.

The pupil contracted violently.

"I know that you want to win Yandu in one go, and then take advantage of this dangerous situation to deal with the reinforcements of Kang state, and surround the reinforcements of Kang state with the reinforcements of Jingxiang and Henan. Unfortunately, Yan is a hard bone to chew. We can't chew it any more. I've transferred all the troops of the three states elsewhere. "

Wei Yuan's expression remained unchanged, looking at the flames burning and licking the corpses, he said faintly: "tomorrow the army will advance 50 Li, and will confront Yandu for three days. Three days later, you leave with ten thousand riders. The others don't care. They have to stay here. "

Then he took out two brocade bags from his arms, one purple and one red.

"Three days later, open the purple brocade bag and it will tell you where to go. When you get to your destination, open the red brocade bag and it will tell you what to do in the future. "

In the setting sun, Xu Xinnian commanded soldiers to burn corpses and dissect horses. They just won a small-scale battle.

It is a gratifying victory to annihilate 800 enemy troops and lose 1000.

A few days have passed since the attack that night. That large-scale attack has scattered the Alliance forces of yaoman and Dafeng.

The Yasukuni army is ready to make a decision, divide and pursue!

In these days, Xu Xinnian has a deeper understanding of the cruelty of war and the bravery of the Huojia army. I can see the strange and terrible way that the wizard wakes up the corpse and turns into a corpse soldier.

There are heavy cavalry and necromancers who can manipulate corpses. The great Fengjun army is completely using their life to fill in the corpses.

When the Allied forces were dispersed, Xu Xinnian and Chu Yuanzhen had only 600 soldiers with them. After so many days, they collected and merged the remnant forces, and the number of them increased to 1700.

Now there are only seven hundred left.

After burning the body, Xu arranged scouts to patrol in the new year, and immediately asked the soldiers to set up a pot to cook horse meat.

The soldiers skillfully cut the horse meat, and then several people join forces, wave the sword that just killed people, chop the horse meat to be rotten, and then cook it in the pot.

This is the way that Xu Xinnian came up with. Horse meat is rough and hard, tastes very bad, and is not easy to digest. It's OK to eat it once in a while, but the soldiers can't stand it if they eat it for several days.

No shit.

Therefore, Xu new year proposed to chop up the horse meat, and then boil it in the pot, so as to increase the taste and promote digestion.

"If we don't have brother Chu, we'll have to die a few hundred more people to eat this wave of enemy troops."

Xu Xinnian goes to Chu Yuanzhen and takes off the water bag.Chu Yuan Zhen Gulu drank half a bag, and said with a lonely smile:

"when he was young, he spent several books on military affairs and thought he was a wizard who led the army to fight. Now I know that I am not that material when I go to the battlefield. But it's you, growing up rapidly. Which one of these soldiers doesn't agree with you? "

Xu Xinnian laughed: "everyone has his own strong points. If I don't have this talent, my teacher won't ask me to major in the art of war. I understand that in the battlefield, there are few people who use tactics. Most of the time, we still have to rely on our troops. Armed forces and military forces play a vital role. Unfortunately, only three guns and six crossbows were brought out. "

To be replaced by Xu Erlang before he went to the battlefield, he should be holding his chin high, with a proud face, but hypocritical and modest words..... Chu Yuanzhen sighed again.

Just then, a scout galloped up and said in a high voice: "Xu Jinshi, I found a remnant army, 30 people."

If there is no trumpet, it means that it is Dafeng army and its own people.

Xu Xinnian and Chu Yuanzhen get up, the former ponders: "let them come."

After that, he turned to Chuyuan with a bitter smile: "fortunately, there are not many people, and the rations can be kept."

In a short time, the scouts came with a remnant of 30 soldiers, who also carried a gun and a dozen shells.

Their faces were tired and dusty, their armor was broken, they had knife marks, everyone had wounds.

It looks as if they've just had a fight.

Looking at the steaming iron pot, smelling the smell of meat soup, two hundred foot soldiers swallowed saliva.

Xu new year to welcome up, said: "who is the highest position, come forward to speak."

A bearded man came forward. He was nearly forty years old and said, "I'm Zhao Panyi, the general banner of baihusuo in yongzhouxi county."

Xu Xinnian nodded his head and said, "I'm the official of the state. I'm the official of the state. I'm the official of the Imperial Academy. I'm the scholar of the Imperial Academy. I'm Xu Xinnian."

After hearing this, Zhao Panyi's face changed. He glared at Xu Xinnian fiercely, hummed coldly, and turned to leave.

Xu Xinnian was stunned for a moment. A dazed color flashed on his face. He frowned and said, "Zhao zongqi, stay. Do you know me?"

"I don't know!" Zhao Panyi said in a dull voice.

I don't know. I thought I robbed your daughter-in-law when I didn't know about it..... Xu Xinnian was upset and frowned more tightly:

"since I don't know Zhao zongqi, why?"

"It's really elegant to speak. It's worthy of being a scholar. Xu Pingzhi's son of a bitch gave birth to a seed of reading. I heard that Xu Yinluo's cousin was in the army, but I didn't expect to meet him today. " Zhao Panyi sneered and said:

"I don't know you, but I know you Laozi. We were brothers during the Shanhaiguan campaign."

Are you a brother? Xu Erlang was shocked.

"Zhao zongqi and my father have old grudges?"

"There's no old grudge. I just can't bear to see him as an ungrateful man."

Zhao Panyi gave a "bah" and said:

"during the Shanhaiguan campaign, Xu Pingzhi and I were in the same team, and there was another man named Zhou Biao at that time. The three of us have a great relationship. We can give our backs to each other's brothers.

"At the end of the Shanhaiguan campaign, we were sent to intercept the corpse soldiers of wushenjiao. In the fierce fight, Zhou Biao blocked your father's sword and died on the battlefield. Xu Pingzhi swore at that time that he would take Zhou Biao's mother to the capital to support him and bring up his children.

"Damn it, I learned later that this ungrateful thing didn't go to Zhou Biao's hometown to meet people. Laozi is a dog, but what kind of good man is his son? They are all bad people. Even if Zhao Panyi starves to death, he will not eat you a mouthful of rice or drink you a mouthful of soup. Pooh
