queen's captive gl

Guicheng, a border town in northern Saibei, was still miserable and desolate two months ago.One day, when the sunset glowed in the west, the twilight was dim, and the sky was filled with dust from the east. A team of soldiers with golden arms and iron horses came galloping, and they have been stationed outside the city since then.

Guicheng, Guicheng, also called ghost city.People of the older generation said that in the past there was a Great Wall of mountains and seas to resist foreign enemies, and Guicheng was a place where soldiers settled down with peace of mind.Afterwards the battle was defeated and the Great Wall was destroyed. Hundreds of miles around here were harassed by foreign enemies for a long time, and there were countless casualties and heavy hostility. Since then, foreigners dared not stay any longer. Only those who could not leave their hometown were willing to stay. It became a strange ghost town.

The scorching sun was in the sky, and on the top of the hillside, there was a man standing against the wind and looking far away. He was dressed in silver and thin armor, with a cloak added to his body, and the cold wind blew by and made a sound of hunting, showing a heroic and majestic temperament.

"Sorrowful, sad, and parting..." After chanting, the wine bag in his hand poured a mouthful of strong wine into his throat, burning down like a fire, and when he exhaled that breath, it was more like a sigh.

"What a sentence of farewell!" Hong Li jumped up the slope, her soft limbs were as light as a swallow, sliding down like a bright red shadow, and sneered: "If I remember correctly, there is a new sentence of "Le Mo Le Xi" below. I know each other. Heh, I have seen a lot of men who are ruthless and ungrateful, passionate prodigal sons and ruthless swordsmen, but I have never seen anyone who is dedicated. General, you are no exception."

Gong Ziling glanced at her: "How much do you know about the word love? It's pathetic for a joker to come back after going around in circles, thinking he knows everything!"

"Yo!" Instead of being angry, Hongli said with a charming smile: "The general is still a man of temperament. The woman who likes you has traveled thousands of miles to find you, but you are here thinking about another woman. You are very dedicated."

Anyone who hears these words will be angry, but Gong Ziling has a smile on his face: "Holy envoy, you have been here for so long and you have been complaining every day. You hurt me and I hurt you. Is it interesting?"

Hongli still couldn't get enough of it, and said boredly: "Otherwise, I am here to accompany you a group of old men, I will be bored to death!"

"Haha, interesting, the Queen of Mobei sent you to supervise me, but you took it for fun." There was an indescribable sarcasm in this tone.

But this sentence is not wrong, Hongli is charming and charming, her coquettish temperament is deeply rooted in her bones, she is bold and intelligent, generous and free and easy. Since these days, she has been wandering around, except for serious business, whenever she sees her, it is not To tease the men in the army with the sexy appearance of a woman is to pretend to be a feminine and handsome man to tease the women of the past. Women in the Northwest are used to rough and boring men, but they have never seen such a beautiful and knowledgeable man. The heart secretly promises.After coming and going, the men and women in Guicheng were all fascinated by this witch who brought disaster to the country and the people!

Gong Ziling has always had a good temper, even if they were enemies at the beginning, they would not feel hatred all their lives, but as soon as Hongli came, they made Guicheng a mess, and now they don't even have a good impression of her , I usually just ignore her.

Hongli narrowed her eyes halfway, pursed her red lips, and her glamorous face was even more radiant, "Your Majesty has never missed what you want. The so-called one who knows the current affairs is a hero. If you cooperate properly, you will naturally have no troubles. The general did not." I don't understand the reason."

Facing the wind and sand, Gong Ziling's eyelids were half closed, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile that was not a smile: "What orders does the Queen of Mobei have?" Every time Hongli comes, she always brings Wan Qixue's instructions, and this time is no exception, right? .

"For the second team, send [-] carts of weapons, [-] carts of jewels, and [-] cannons to Olzil. Someone will be there to meet them at that time." Speaking of serious business, Hongli suddenly became serious, as if she had changed her face.

Gong Ziling was startled secretly, a terrible thought came to his mind, but he didn't show it on his face, he just said "yes" lightly.

As usual, Hongli would leave after giving the order, but today she approached Gong Ziling instead, sniffing and sniffing her body like a puppy, Gong Ziling frowned and said loudly, "What do you smell?" ?”

"Smell, a...a woman's smell. Tsk tsk, the acting is so similar, it almost fooled me!" Hong Li smiled charmingly.

Gong Ziling's face turned dark, and she didn't want to entangle her. In fact, she really had important things to do, "The envoy can play by himself, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you." After speaking, he waved his cloak, turned and went down the hillside , went straight back to the base camp.

Show her face.Hongli's charming phoenix eyes widened, revealing the whites of her eyes, and she turned to smile lightly. After laughing, she sighed softly: "It's a pity that this fake son can't be used by His Majesty, otherwise I will be invincible in Great Xia and regain China!"

She was ordered by His Majesty to come to supervise Gong Ziling. This matter was of great importance and she did not dare to be negligent. She did some investigation together with Gong Ziling.Since getting along, Gong Ziling never looked at her directly. She was conceited of her beauty, and few men could escape her grasp, but when she met this gentleman who was called Liu Xiahui, she would admit defeat.As the days went by, she began to see something, it turned out that it wasn't her lack of charm, but that the famous Zhen Guo General was actually a woman disguised as a man!

At first, she was really curious, a gentleman who is as gentle as jade, who is obviously talented and has the edge of pointing out the country, but he is restrained and never aggressive, how does such a person manage the army and suppress the three armies?

It's a pity that she has never had the chance to see Gong Ziling's heroic appearance on the battlefield. This is a pity in her life!

Gong Ziling put the things on the table aside, and opened the sheepskin map of Huaxia.

She always thought that Wan Qixue would escort the treasure of Longyin back to the snowy area.However, according to her instructions a month ago, the first convoy sent [-] carts of gold, silver and jewels to Damla City. The journey was long and intentionally delayed, and it took more than a month.At first, she didn't understand why Wan Chengxue did this, sending out large quantities of jewelry, but she finally understood today.

Dabala City is the wealthiest border town in Mobei. It is close to Nanli, with convenient transportation and trade. As long as you have money, you will not worry about buying and selling.On the contrary, Olzil is the most bitter and cold place in the desert, and it has also been an indisputable place since ancient times. It is just conducive to the birth of the population, and there are many slaves in labor. What is lacking is the weapons to rise up.

Wonderful!Each takes what it needs, complements each other, and greatly improves efficiency.

If there is no accident, Wan Qixue wants to divide into five convoys and send them to five places respectively. Calculated according to the distance, the last three are closer than the first ones, within three months...

Gong Ziling gasped, and fell unconsciously on the seat. Wan Qixue's strategy was beyond her expectation, time was running out, and they must move faster than her.

Dip the pen and ink, and quickly write the numbers on the square rice paper.Carefully tear off the writing part, roll up the small note, put it into a small bamboo tube, and tie it to the foot of a carrier pigeon.

The homing pigeon croaked twice, flapped its wings and flew away.

"General, Princess Anqing is here." At this moment, the voice of the guard announced from outside.

"Enter."

As he spoke, Gong Ziling picked up a book and sat back on his seat, looking serious about reading. When he saw the person coming, he put down the book and smiled slightly: "Qinyi, why are you here?"

Seeing that gentle smile, Qin Yi lowered her head, and bent her mouth with a toothless smile, "Seeing that elder brother Ling has been tired and tired recently, Qin Yi specially ordered the back chef to cook soup for nourishing the mind, as well as medicinal food for recuperating the body. "

"Thank you Qinyi." Gong Ziling stepped forward, seeing Qinyi's red hands twisted with a handkerchief, and the faint smell of oily smoke on her body, it was not difficult to guess that this girl was appointed to cook in person again.He smiled and said, "Ask them to bring it in. I'll taste it, and I'm just hungry."

Qin Yi's brows were filled with joy, she nodded her head and called softly: "Come in, Rou'er."

As soon as the words were finished, the servant girl Rou'er led two soldiers in. Four baskets and six dishes were placed on the stage, and the aroma overflowed all around when the covers were uncovered. It was full of colors, and just looking at it made people's index fingers twitch .

"This is our princess personally—" Rou'er was about to say something, but Qin Yi quickly stopped her, "Rou'er, you go down first, as long as I'm here."

Rou'er smiled knowingly, bowed slightly, and led the people back out.

"There are too many meals. I can't finish them all by myself. You should eat some too."

"Yes." Qin Yi smiled calmly.

Gong Ziling then tasted it carefully and remained silent.

How could she not understand Qin Yi's feelings for her.Two years ago, she was sent to the border town to assist in guarding the border defense of Dachen. She met Qin Yi, the daughter of the king of the southern border. She has always been obedient and considerate to her. guilty!

Half a year ago, she wanted to go south to investigate the flame order, but she was a general with a post, and she was not allowed to return to the court at will without the imperial order, and she was not allowed to stay in other places. Leaving her post without authorization is a serious crime. .After Qin Yi found out, she proposed to her father that she had heard that there was a doctor in the south who was very good at acupuncture and medicine, and she had always wanted to visit him.Knowing that his daughter likes to specialize in medical skills, and it coincides with her birthday, the King of the South Region agreed, and in order to ensure her safety, he specially entrusted Gong Ziling to go with him.

At this moment, Qin Yi doesn't want to abide by the rules of eating and sleeping, she just wants to have a meal with brother Ling quietly, and at this time, there is always a feeling of happiness in her heart.

But Gong Ziling didn't think so, cleared his throat, and said: "You have been here for some time, tomorrow I will order someone to protect you and go home, so as not to worry the prince!"

She knew that Qin Yi never disobeyed her will, as long as she said it, no matter how reluctant Qin Yi was, she would still do what she said.

Qin Yi's hand holding the chopsticks froze, her eyebrows drooped, and her small chin was slightly retracted, "Qin Yi just wants to stay with Brother Ling, and promise not to cause trouble to Brother Ling."

Seeing her pitiful look, Gong Ziling couldn't bear it. She was the daughter of the king of the southern region, and she could come and go freely in the army with her status as the princess. If she didn't have a deep affection for her, why should she be so condescending. "You didn't cause me trouble, on the contrary, you helped me a lot. I don't know how to thank you!"

"As long as I can help Brother Ling, Qin Yi will be very happy."

Gong Ziling's heart moved slightly, and he said, "Don't you want to know the reason?"

Qin Yi shook her head and said, "Qin Yi believes that Brother Ling is doing great things for the country and the people."

Gong Ziling narrowed his eyes, and there was a trace of guilt on his face inadvertently, thinking silently, big things are indeed big things, but whether it is for the country or the people is not yet known.

In Qin Yi's heart, Gong Ziling may be a great hero, but unfortunately she is not!

Qin Yi never asked the reason for what she was going to do, and supported her wholeheartedly, not to mention his admiration, but it was a pity that one day she might be disappointed.

Qin Yi saw the faint sadness on Gongziling's face, thinking that he was worrying about himself, and was about to open his mouth to obey the arrangement, but there was a "report" from outside the tent, followed by: "Report to the general, we found it eighty miles away. Fifty thousand enemy troops are attacking our city gate. General Zhuo has prepared an urgent message and sent people to ask for reinforcements."

what!

Gong Ziling stood up all of a sudden, although the situation was critical, there was no panic in his eyes, his face was sober, and he said to Qin Yi: "This place is in chaos like Yun Han City, you go back and take care of yourself." At the end, he added: " I will arrange someone to take you back tomorrow."

Before she could answer, Gong Ziling shouted loudly, "Where is Rogge?"

A person walked in from outside the tent, nodded respectfully and said: "The last general is here!"

"The whole army is rectified and ready to go."

Gong Ziling led two thousand iron cavalry regiments, all the way north in the dust.

After coming out of the underground palace mausoleum, she found a hidden gap leading to Guicheng, so she recommended herself to the King of the Southern Realm to be dispatched here.At first, the King of the Southern Realm disagreed, saying that he was overqualified, but then he nodded for some reason. She thought, Qin Yi must be responsible for this.

It turns out that the feeling of being indebted to others is not easy to put in my heart!

The area around Guicheng is remote, with steep mountains and complicated terrain, so it is not an ideal place for military strategists to fight for.Occasionally there will be thugs and neighbors to harass, but it will not be a big deal, so don't worry too much.However, a few days ago, a mysterious regular army repeatedly invaded at night, murdered people without any means, and repeatedly occupied the villages outside Guicheng.

She brought not many soldiers to defend the city, only three thousand soldiers and horses.Excluding the guards and the soldiers who secretly dispatched Yunbao, there are only 2000 people left who can dispatch support.General Zhuo is the Dingyuan General who returned to the city. Because he was guarding a dead city, there were not many soldiers sent by the imperial court, only 3000.That is to say, this time there are only 5000 people defending at most, and the opponent's strength is several times theirs.

Speaking of General Zhuo, Gong Ziling was furious!

Under the city wall of Guicheng, the officers and soldiers guarding the city are in a line and have entered the alert. There is an atmosphere of gunpowder inside and outside the city. The war is about to break out, and the officers and soldiers of the city are ready to go.

"How's the situation?" Young Master Ling went up to the city wall, the city gate was closed, there was no one on the other side of the city, and the calm was the eve of the storm.

"General, it's great that you're finally here!" Zhuo De, who was dressed in armor, looked funny, not because he was inappropriately dressed, but because it didn't match his polite appearance.Seeing the savior, Zhuo De relaxed his tense facial muscles. This time, the enemy army was numerous and aggressive. If he lost the battle, the general was three ranks higher than him in terms of official rank. Don't be so flustered, you still don't forget to bow.

"Don't talk nonsense, report the situation." Gong Ziling said coldly, what she hates most on the battlefield is long-winded and not straightforward.

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhuo De nodded his head and said, "At noon today, someone reported that bandits were rampant at the head of Yang Village, and the lower officials sent Yang Baihu to lead troops to round them up, but there was no news after waiting for a long time. , sent another team of soldiers and horses to support, and later... only one escaped, saying that Yangcuntou had been occupied by the enemy!"

"anything else?"

Zhuo De's eyes were flickering, "And... and..." He hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't say it.

Gong Ziling glanced at him, and a sharp light like a blade flashed in his eyes, and said coldly: "The enemy is in front of you, and you don't even know who the opponent is, but you are still standing here majestically, waiting for the soldiers to come to the city so that you can pack your bags Run away?"

"I...I'm an official, don't dare!" Zhuo De was so frightened that his legs would go weak. This is a charge of desertion. According to Dachen's law, it is equivalent to treason.

"You reported that the enemy army has 5 horses, is it just a random guess?" Gong Ziling's voice was ice-cold, chilling to the bone.

"This, this... I'm going to investigate and collect information..." Zhuo De was trembling with fright, and he didn't have the demeanor that a general should have at all.

Gong Ziling's face was very cold, but his eyes were full of sadness.Taking a deep breath, he said coldly: "I have my own discretion in this matter, you go down and prepare to defend the city!" This Zhuo De is not usually unreliable, it seems that this city of return really needs to be rectified!

Zhuo De heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly responded, sweeping the end of his eyes back and forth, thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "General, this lieutenant general should stay here, he is under your orders, please take good care of—" before he finished speaking, Seeing Gong Ziling frowning slightly, Zhuo De, who has excellent eyesight, immediately stopped talking, laughed twice and went down.

Gong Ziling looked up at the blue sky, and took a long time to take it back slowly.Before she came here, she knew that Zhuo De was actually a civil servant in the court, and he was appointed to be stationed here half a year ago. I don't know if she was in a hurry just now, but what she gave was the courtesy of a civil servant.Eight years ago, after the imperial court implemented the "Forbidden Martial Arts Order", there were very few people practicing martial arts from the family of officials to the common people. In recent years, there have been many wars, and the military generals trained by the court have gradually failed to keep up with the speed of sacrifice. The civil servants make up the number.And this group of pedantic civil servants, let alone being upright, have no backbone at all. If such a person leads the army, how cowardly the soldiers under him must be!

Suddenly, Gong Ziling glanced at the person standing beside him, and after that inadvertent glance, he remembered what Zhuo De said just now, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he walked over.

The young man in front of him was about twenty years old, Yijia was a riding captain, he was tall and big, with dark skin, thick eyebrows and bright eyes, with a bit of fortitude on his body.However, the hand that should hold a broadsword and a longbow is holding a paper umbrella. There is rarely rain outside the Great Wall, and umbrellas of this literati are even rarer.He didn't show any special expression when he saw Gong Ziling walking over, he just nodded and bowed, which was probably regarded as respect.

"What's your name? Are you afraid of the sun?"

The young Cavalry Captain seemed not expecting the general to ask him something, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and said: "Back to the general, the humble name is Ban Long. Don't be afraid of the sun."

"Oh?" Gong Ziling smiled spontaneously, "So your general is afraid of being exposed to the sun?"

Ban Long's eyes flickered slightly, his lips were pursed into lines as hard as iron, and naturally he didn't speak.

"You bastard, the general asked you something—" This thick and powerful male voice came from Rogge, seeing his general being treated so arrogantly by the young general, he cursed out of anger.

Gong Ziling glanced lightly, stopping Rogge's irritable words.

The young riding captain was dissatisfied with their general, and there was a resentment in his heart but he suppressed it, and Zhuo De couldn't command his subordinates at all, so he pushed the lieutenant to her.

"Tell me what you think of this enemy attack..."

Suddenly, I came to talk about my opinion, which caused the light in Ban Long's eyes to fluctuate. After hesitating for a while, he expressed his own thoughts: "Since Guicheng was looted by Nanli Yanyang Army ten years ago, now It’s just a deserted city, there has never been a strong enemy, what is the intention of the invader this time? We have to find out before we can make a good defense and strategy.”

Gong Ziling said a good word, but his face was expressionless, he mused thoughtfully: "Is your surname Ban, then it should be from the Saichuan area." After talking to himself, he finally showed a smile and said: " Ban Duwei, are you interested in following the general to break into the Longtan and Tiger's lair?"

Ban Long's eyes froze, and that Muna looked a bit tiger-headed. He couldn't help but raise his eyelids to look at Gong Ziling. Everyone in the army knew the most famous war general in recent years.When he saw the real person, it was completely different from what he had imagined, and he was extremely disappointed.He has been in the army for ten years, and he has never seen such a good-looking man. Could it be that the rumors have been made up too much, but in fact, he is just a close friend of a certain royal relative in the court, and he has found a job to show off. .

No, knowing that Zhuo De lied about the military situation, he didn't pursue it, hum.Those sent by the imperial court are all officials to protect each other, all the way.Don't say that if you want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, if you stand in the sun for a while, you will be too delicate. Let him be a captain to do the work of a servant, how can he feel aggrieved.

Suddenly I heard him say, "Is your surname Ban, it should be from the Saichuan area." That's right, and there are very few people with this surname, how would he know?Before I had time to think about it, I asked, "Are you interested in following Ben to the dragon's pool and tiger's lair?" Then I thought about it: OK, I will see what skills you have.I gritted my teeth thinking about it, and said "I am willing to be humble".

The facial muscles of Rogge next to him twitched, resisting the urge to cut Ban Long, what kind of attitude is he, did you feed him?It is a supreme honor to be able to fight in all directions with the great general.

Gong Ziling didn't care. She had been in the army for many years and had a lot of experience. How could she not know what Ban Long was thinking? There were many people who questioned her.

"I just said, how can such a lively event miss me, Hongli?"

A charming female voice came, and when Gong Ziling tilted his head to look at it, Hong Li had already stepped closer. The difference from an hour ago was that she was dressed in tight clothes, a red cloud armor around her waist, and small animal skin boots on her feet. The whole person looks more energetic and heroic.

She smiled casually, but the officers and soldiers below looked straight at her.

Young Master Ling frowned slightly, eavesdropping is already a disgraceful thing, she still had the nerve to walk up and said coldly: "Holy envoy, let's go to business, not to play."

"Who said I went to play?" Hongli rolled her eyes, "Your Majesty wants me to come, not only to watch you, but also to save your life, you think I'm thinking!"

Gong Ziling turned his head to stop looking at her, feeling a little unhappy in his heart.
