Rebirth of the Golden Bastard

The military camp stationed was at the end of the desert, Cang Qiao and his party set off again, this time only Sikong Lang, Xia Yunqing and Cang Qiao were left.Hua Que didn't want to cause trouble for everyone, so she voluntarily stayed in Qingxia City and waited for them to come back.

After crossing the Liusha River, the original surface gradually began to be buried by yellow sand.When the entire Qingxia City turned into a blurred shadow, there were no people in all directions, and the fine yellow sand was blown by the wind, and the three of them wore high hats with veils. Wrap it around with a scarf to keep sand from getting into your clothes.

The horse walked a little hard on the soft sand, and every step made a shallow imprint, and all the imprints disappeared when the wind passed behind him.

There are a few soldiers leading the way in front of the three of them. They are familiar with the terrain here and are not easy to get lost.Fortunately, the desert was not covered too much. After walking for two days and one night, I could faintly see the military camp ahead.

Because it is close to the desert, there is a small village in front of it, and the vast sea is beyond the village.In order not to be blocked by the desert, the barracks built a huge castle with huge black stones, with towering walls on all sides, tower posts in four directions, and a huge iron gate in front of the main gate. Hang a plaque high and write "Wind Sand City."

Cang Qiao looked up, whistled and exclaimed.The soldier in front turned around and said proudly: "General Ying built this with us back then. Since we built this city, we don't have to worry about being blocked by wind and sand."

Cang Qiao nodded, "That's a good idea."

Speaking of which, the front door has slowly opened.The heavy iron gate made a terrible creaking sound when it opened, and with the yellow sand all over the sky behind it, the dark city showed a sense of solemnity.

After entering the iron gate, the whistling wind and sand stopped instantly.The buildings in the city are well-built, with a straight avenue in the middle, and along the avenue there are neatly arranged wooden houses. The wooden houses all look the same, small in size but practical.There are small stalls along the road on both sides, selling vegetables and melons.

The soldiers in the front introduced while leading the way: "These are all transported from the small village in front. The gates of Fengsha City are opened every day at Mao hour and closed at Si hour. .”

Although it's a "city", it's actually not that big, and the people living in it are all soldiers. Food, grass and horses can be seen everywhere. It doesn't have the excitement of a real city, but it's a bit serious and dull. The shops selling clothes here There was only one, and they wore heavy coats and felt hats. It was a hot day, so naturally there was no business to do.

The soldiers led the three of them to the end of Fengsha City, where there was a taller house that was different from other wooden houses.Go up the wooden ladder, one house is another house.

"Who is it?" The soldier guarding the door stretched out his hand to stop him, "The prince and general are discussing the war, and outsiders are not allowed to disturb him."

The soldier walking in front of Cang Qiao stepped aside, stretched out his finger and said, "See, this is the Eighth Prince and the young master of the Xia family."

The man hurriedly withdrew his hands and cupped his fists to salute, "I've seen the Eighth Prince!"

Sikong Lang waved his hands indifferently, relying on his status, he lifted his robe and crossed the threshold first, followed by Cang Qiao and Xia Yunqing.

The first room seems to be used for hospitality, with a screen in front, embroidered with white cranes spreading their wings in a lotus pond, landscape pictures hanging on all sides, a few potted plants under the windows, and eight fairy chairs lined up in a row. The low table and a large square chair under the screen have a calm and restrained feeling.

Going around the screen, there are several people sitting in another room.They gathered around a map, and the ones at the front with their heads bowed were the Ninth Prince and General Ying.

"My lord! General!" The leading soldier in front shouted like a bell, clasped his fists and said, "Here we are!"

Everyone who was talking turned their heads, and the Ninth Prince spoke first, "It's finally here!"

He stepped over in a few steps, and his heavy boots made a dull sound on the wooden floor.Sikong Lang and Cang Qiao bowed together and said: "Join the Lord, General!"

"It's all from my own family, where did so many rules come from!"

Sikong Ding laughed out loud, his voice shaking his chest.He raised his hand and patted Sikong Lang, "Good boy! I've heard about everything about Qingxia City, you did a good job! How about it, do you want to go to war with Uncle Huang!"

Sikong Lang's eyes lit up in an instant, and he was gearing up, "It's hard to follow the emperor's words! That's great! I've long wanted to beat up Jin Zhang's bastards who don't have eyes!"

Sikong Ding laughed loudly, "Okay! My Prince Yilan wants to be this kind of grandeur!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Xia Yunqing again, "Yunqing, how are you doing? Are you following your master?"

As soon as Xia Yunqing entered the barracks, all her childhood memories were recalled.Practicing martial arts in the morning, eating a big pot of rice with the soldiers, and falling asleep in the howling wind and sand at night, that is the freedom that men yearn for most, and the blood is hard to bear.

As soon as the Ninth Prince said, he clasped his fists and said, "I would like to follow the general!"

Yingyou also smiled rarely, stepped forward and nodded, "Good job, as expected of me to teach you."

Cang Qiao watched from behind, feeling a little envious.It was a kind of responsibility and responsibility that he didn't know about. He had never had this kind of emotion before, and he never had it now.

After finishing speaking here, the other generals also came over, "Participate in the Eighth Prince."

One of the bearded men said: "With the help of the Eighth Prince and Yun Qing, we are invincible!"

Another person who looked a little thin also said: "Yunqing, I haven't seen you for a few years, and I look more and more like an adult!"

Several other people looked at Cang Qiao, seemingly undecided.This barracks has always been full of big men with thick backs and thick backs. Their skins are as dark as those fished out of coal. How many years have you seen such a handsome man?

I saw Cang Qiao standing among a group of tall and thick men, looking more and more like a woman.Delicate and fair complexion, pink and moist lips, a pair of big black and white eyes shining like amber, dressed in moon-white clothes, and black hair in high buns, they are incompatible with these people.

"Is it possible that this person is..."

"Come, come!" Ninth Prince grabbed Cang Qiao's shoulder and introduced to everyone, "This is the young master of the Xia family, Yun Qing's elder brother. He is also Xia Fenghou, Xia Cangqiao, whom the emperor just decreed!"

The generals all took a deep breath, and the bearded man said: "My mother, if it wasn't for the prince, I really thought it was a big girl from some family!"

As he said that, he suddenly looked at Yun Qing again, "I said Yun Qing, why don't you look like your elder brother at all?"

Xia Yunqing said calmly: "Brother follows mother."

The bearded man said hi, "Your father is so lucky! You can tell how beautiful your mother is just by looking at you!"

Xia Yunqing nodded, but did not explain further.Cang Qiao didn't feel awkward being surrounded by her, she cupped her hands openly and said, "Cang Qiao has seen all the generals!"

The bearded man was taken aback for a moment, and laughed hahaha, "Sure enough, as the general said, this man is so strange! How can there be so many generals in one barracks? Isn't it a mess!"

Yingyou said at this time: "Cang Qiao has never been in a military camp, so it's okay if you don't know." He pointed to the bearded man, and introduced to Cang Qiao, "This is my vanguard officer, Hao Yi; this looks very handsome. The thin person is my military commander, Ge Zilin..."

Yingyou introduced them one by one, but there were too many people, and Cang Qiao couldn't remember all of them for a while, but seeing each of them confidently and flamboyantly, with the unique pride on the battlefield, Cang Qiao's mouth was broken, but he was honest. Actually, I didn't say much.

Hao Yi is open-minded and doesn't take anything to heart.After a while, they became acquainted with Sikong Lang and Cang Qiao.Sikong Lang was even commensurate with his brother, Hao Yi didn't have any tendons, but he didn't think it was wrong.

"There is no prince or prince here." Sikong Lang said, "They are all brothers!"

Hao Yi's affection for the eighth prince suddenly rose, and he said again and again: "Okay! I still think that all the people in the palace are delicate people, you! I like it!"

Cang Qiao looked at these two live treasures and started talking nonsense, he turned his head and walked towards Lord Ninth, "My lord, I heard that Mister Seven has appeared?"

Si Kongding and Yingyou looked at each other, and said: "I don't know what he's worried about, but he's at Jinzhang's side now. Jinzhang has changed hands now, the crown prince is detained by the second prince, and we can't contact King Jinzhang .”

Cang Qiao looked around, "Where's Mr. Park?"

"The prince's party has been dragged into the water. He and Tang Ben have already returned to Jinzhang." Yingyou said, "It's okay for Tang Ben to be the second prince. Park Mingze... We don't know his situation at the moment."

Cang Qiao frowned, this is great, the only person who can contact King Jin Zhang is gone.

Si Kongding looked at him and said suddenly: "It's really thanks to you this time."

Cang Qiao was taken aback, "Me?"

Yingyou also said: "You saved Qingxia City, which is a great achievement. It also hindered Jin Zhang's attack. To tell you the truth, if Qingxia fell, we would have fought by now."

Cang Qiao said, "What about the current situation?"

Yingyou pointed to the map and said, "Look, Jin Zhang has gathered all the warships together, targeting us. The person who sent to inquire about the news a few days ago said that the chariots and horses above are complete. There is also enough food and grass.”

Cang Qiao naturally knew nothing about fighting, but Yingyou explained it very carefully, so it was not difficult to understand.

Sikong Ding said: "Once they come, they will definitely break Fengsha City and Qingxia City, so that they can supply follow-up food and grass."

Cang Qiao understood that Qingxia City was easy to defend and not easy to attack. If the flood broke Qingxia City, Jin Zhang would naturally fire the first artillery fire.War is also inevitable.

Thinking of how many people there are in Qingxia City, and Fengsha City is an important place for military camps, the consequences would be disastrous if they were lost.

Several people sat down, and Cang Qiao told the Ninth Prince and others all the news they had learned along the way.Yingyou frowned tightly, "So they started planning many years ago, and we haven't heard any news!"

Si Kongding also had a rare expression on his face, "The opponent is taking every step of the way, and this battle may not be easy."

Naturally, Cang Qiao and the others did not reveal Mr. Qi's identity, but they had to do so, and they couldn't passively wait to be beaten.

Cang Qiao said: "To tell you the truth, I want to meet Mr. Seven in person."

Si Kongding was taken aback, "What's the use of seeing you?"

Cang Qiao said: "Of course I have my way."

Yingyou said: "No way! Don't say we haven't met Mr. Seven now, he is a very secretive person and his strategy is very strange. He seems to know our formation, and he can't take risks casually."

But Cang Qiao insisted: "The reason why he knows is because we have traitors." So he told everything about Shenyang.

Sikong decided to shoot the case, "There is such a big hidden danger around the emperor! How can this be done! Immediately send an order to summon people to rush back to Yilan..."

Cang Qiao raised her hand to stop, "Wait a minute, my lord, I have asked the general to send the letter to the capital in person. We can't startle the snake, otherwise there will be too many variables. I believe Feng Yasong can arrange this matter properly!"

Ge Zilin had been listening quietly to the side, and only now did he ask: "Who is Feng Yasong? Why have you never heard of such a person in the court?"

Cang Qiao smiled and said, "It's Murong Ya's nickname."

Ge Zilin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "That mean son actually has times like this, he has always been the one who bullies others in a condescending way, and he has never been bullied by others. Well, well, well, I've finally got what I wanted!"

Cang Qiao wondered, "Mr. Ge knew him?"

"More than just acquaintance!" Ge Zilin angrily said: "I once went to the capital according to the general's order, and I happened to meet Murong Ya when I was resting in a teahouse. Because I had a chance meeting when I was in the court, I chatted a few words casually, but I didn't want to be caught by him. I scolded a bloody dog."

Yingyou didn't seem to know there was such a thing, and asked, "What's going on?"

Hao Yi also laughed, "There are times when our military adviser can't fight against others?"

Ge Zilin snorted, "I told him about the frontier war situation. I advocated the recovery of the four places and Yilan as the king; but he, a weak scholar, scolded me for being too ambitious and hurting innocent people, and said that I should not do to others what I do not want to be done to others. , You actually described me as a big devil who kills people without batting an eye!"

Hao Yi laughed loudly, "I said military division, haven't you heard that a scholar meets a soldier, is there a reason for that?"

Ge Zilin snorted, obviously very dissatisfied with that humiliation.Cang Qiao laughed, "I think Feng Yasong is right."
