Scorching

[Eight], go through the fleeting year

??Xia Runie's injury was neither good nor bad. The military doctor insisted on changing his dressing every day, but he refused to rest, so that the wound healed a little before being dragged out again. The soldiers often saw it on Xia Runie's white robe. bloodstained.

??In the past, although Xia Runei was a little cold, she occasionally smiled at the corners of her mouth, but now, she exudes an aura of "do not approach".

??Qi Shuhan would deliver the medicine on time every day, and every time he would watch Xia Runie drink the medicine before leaving.At first, Xia Runei didn't cooperate, and kept watching various military newspapers, letting the medicine cool down.After Qi Shuhan discovered this situation, under Qi Shuhan's strong request, Xia Runei could only frown and take the medicine.

??Although the Tamu people married Ye, and the foreigners have retreated, the Yasukuni army is still stationed in the west, and the friction between the two armies is still constant.But Lu Moya disappeared, and was replaced by a general of Yasukuni.It's just that this general is a new face, he seems to have been promoted only recently, and it is said that he is Lu Moya's confidant.

?? With Lu Moya not around, the Jing Army did not launch a large-scale war, but was always on guard against Ye Kingdom.

?? Xia Ruxie couldn't help being annoyed seeing the military situation that hardly changed every day.After drinking the medicine, Qi Shuhan gave an order: "Call all the generals, I have something important to announce." Then he put on his armor and walked to the tent where the matter was discussed.

?? After everyone arrived, Xia Runei asked, "How is the current situation in each country?"

"General, everything is fine in Ye Kingdom, but Jing Kingdom..." A young general replied.

"Lu Moya is not here, could it be that something happened to Yasukuni?" Xia Ru'ne had already guessed this, but now seeing the performance of these generals, she is somewhat certain.

"Exactly." Qi Shuyuan got up and said, "Lu Moya killed his father and brother. He just ascended the throne not long ago, and his methods were extremely vicious. His court was greatly changed by him."

?? "Then why was this matter not mentioned in the military newspaper?" Xia Ru'ne glanced at the crowd coldly, and the cold eyes made people feel chills.

??When Xia Ruxie asked such a question, everyone didn't know how to answer, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

?? "I ordered people to ignore these contents." Qi Shuhan's voice suddenly sounded, "We were ordered to defend the west, and the general thinks that it is enough to know all kinds of affairs in the west. It's annoying, and the gain outweighs the loss."

??Xia Ruxie looked at Qi Shuhan, who was neither humble nor overbearing, and knew in his heart that he was doing it for his own good, but: "Indeed, as you said, but have you ever thought that Lu Moya has now ascended the throne, and with his ambition Will the army in the west be spared? He wants to annex Ye Kingdom and rule the world, and the west is so close to Ye Kingdom, if he launches a war, this must be the first battlefield!" Xia Rune suddenly raised his voice, "You are being smart You can't tell how much damage this will bring to our army! I am your general, if I can't even know the enemy, how can I survive a hundred battles!"

?? Hearing Xia Runei's words, everyone was speechless.

"The general will benefit a lot from what the general said, and the general is willing to be dealt with by the military law." Qi Shuhan saluted and pleaded guilty, and now he no longer has any worries in his heart. Since Xia Runei has said so, it proves: He has moved on from those things.This is the Xia Runie he knew, confident, proud, serious...

?? "Now is an extraordinary period, and the disposal will be discussed after repelling the Jing army." Xia Runei said lightly.

?? "Thank you, General."

?? Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief. Xia Runie's tone just now really made them very nervous. On the battlefield, no matter how powerful the enemy is, they have never felt this way before.Because they understand that Xia Runei is no longer the former him, if he really gets angry, the consequences will be disastrous.

?? "How is the situation in Ye Kingdom?" Xia Runie asked suddenly again.But his question was not answered.

"Ah... this... good news from the imperial capital," Qi Shuyuan bit the bullet and got up to respond when he saw the atmosphere was so deserted. Shu Han continued from the side: "Princess Ranning and the second son of the Duke's Mansion will get married in 20 days."

"Hmm..." Xia Runie seemed to be lost in thought, and after a long time, he said, "Go down, order all the troops to closely monitor the Jing army, and don't relax!"

"Yes." All the soldiers bowed and retreated.

??Xia Ruyi leaned back on the chair tiredly. He didn't expect that that beautiful girl had reached the age of marriage. Leng Ning got married and should have gone back to congratulate her. Now it seems that it is better not to go back First, the situation in the west is a bit severe, and second, if you go back, it will only increase your sadness...

?? the next day.

??Xia Runie was just about to leave the tent, but an unexpected guest ushered in the tent.Xia Runie became vigilant after feeling the strangeness of the visitor's breath. Since this person was able to escape the surveillance of Xuehen and Xueye and enter his tent calmly, he must have a very high skill.

"Heh... General Xia is really alert." A voice sounded from the corner of the tent.

?? "Fourth Prince... No, I should change my name to the movie king. I don't know what is the purpose of coming to my camp?" After Xia Ruyi heard the voice, she knew that it was Lu Moya who came.

??Slowly, Lu Moya gradually appeared in the corner. "You are welcome, general. I came here this time because I don't want to keep the general in the dark." Lu Moya walked forward slowly, and stood in front of Xia Runei, "Let's talk about some interesting things. " Lu Moya leaned over and smiled next to Xia Runie's ear, "They told you that Leng Ning is about to get married, did they tell you that the man you love made another woman conceive his child? Yes ?”

??Xia Runie was stunned. Qi Shuyuan's hesitant appearance that day made him feel that something was wrong, but he didn't care. It turns out... the real good news refers to this...

?? Xia Ru Nie smiled self-deprecatingly: "That's really troublesome to the actor, I really need you to miss me." Xia Runie looked straight at Lu Moya and smiled, "But the actor told me What's the purpose of these?" Xia Ru'ne's voice didn't change, but his heart was bleeding.

"Heh..." Lu Moya lightly lifted Xia Ru's chin, and smiled wickedly, "How about we make a deal?" Then he whispered something in Xia Ru's ear.Just as Lu Moya finished speaking, Xia Runie's voice came out: "What an honor it would be, to have the honor of being missed by the kings of many countries in my life."

??Lu Moya smiled instead of anger, let go of Xia Runie, and said with a smile, "I'm waiting for your answer." Then he disappeared before Xia Runie's eyes again.

?? After Lu Moya left, Xia Runie slumped on the stool powerlessly: "Snow marks."

"My lord." Xuehen stood quietly behind Xia Runie.

?? "You heard what you said just now." Xia Runie helplessly supported his forehead, "Is what he said true?" It's not that Xia Runie didn't believe Lu Moya, but he didn't want to believe it, he was still working hard to get it. ... lie to yourself, let yourself live in unreality.

?? "My lord... But do you want to tell the truth?" Xuehen couldn't bear to tell Xia Ruai the truth, but she refused to hide it from him again.

?? "Tell the truth."

??"exactly."

??Xia Rulian clearly felt the pain in his heart, "That's right", these four words kept lingering in his ears, and he refused to let go for a long time.No matter how willfully he wanted to leave, it was because he knew that Leng Zhuo would still be by his side, but now, it's time to wake up, isn't this his long-cherished wish?In this way, wouldn't he be able to take revenge without any scruples?In this way, he doesn't need to be sad any more...

??So, that's okay...

?? "Xuehen, go investigate the shadow guards around Lu Moya, and proceed with caution."

"Yes." As the voice fell, Xuehen's figure disappeared.

?? "Xue Ye, pass on my order to rectify the three armies, and return to Beijing in three days! Also, send someone to send news to the Jing army and just say 'deal'."

"Follow the order." Xue Ye followed Xia Runie's order and left quickly.

?? I would like to believe that it is not him, but you.Do not disappoint me.

??…

?? After Yasukuni got the news from Xia Runei.Lu Moya immediately retreated and wrote a letter of surrender to show his sincerity.After everything was ready, Xia Runie, Xuehen, Xueye, Qi Shuyuan, and Qi Shuhan left immediately, and the army was commanded by other generals, some of them stayed in the west and continued to defend, and some of them returned to Beijing to stand by .

?? When Xia Runie and the other five arrived in the imperial capital, they happened to host a banquet for all the officials to celebrate the wedding between Longzi and Princess Ranning.Holding the word 'burning' in his hand, Xia Runie led the four of them to the banquet location, Mingxin Hall in the back garden, without hindrance.

??At this moment, Leng Zhuo in the hall had a strong smile on his face. On the left was the beautiful imperial concubine Qianhui, on the right were Leng Qianshu and his wife and Leng Qianjing, the two siblings were in the lower ranks, and the officials were seated on both sides.

?? "Report to the king." The guard at the door suddenly came in to report.

?? "Speak." Leng Zhuo drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, responding in a good mood.

?? "'Simon' and the commander of the 'Beiling' army, Xia Runie, are asking to see each other!"

?? "Boom!" The guard's words struck many people's hearts like a thunderbolt, and the one who shocked them the most was the coldness.Hearing the three words "Xia Rune", Leng Zhuo squeezed the wine glass in his hand with force.Leng Zhuo has never received any news about Xia Runie's upcoming return to Beijing. He has arranged a lot of spies between the west and the imperial capital. If Xia Runie leaves the west, he will definitely receive the news. Now that Ya has ascended the throne, a war will definitely be launched, and if there is a war, Jing Ye's first battle must be in the west, but now that Xia Ru'ne has returned, what does this mean?Based on Leng Zhuo's understanding of Xia Runei, even if he is defeated, Xia Runei will never come back easily. If he is not defeated, that means...

"Please." Leng Zhuo said to the guard after drying his hands with a silk handkerchief.Not to mention him, even Bai Feng never thought that Xia Runie would come back so quickly. Although Tamu and other foreigners had retreated, the huge piece of fat in Jingguo could not be eaten so quickly.

??Xia Runie walked in with Qi Shuyuan and Qi Shuhan, Xuehen insisted on staying outside, while Xueye went to join the other hidden guards.Although the three of them were all wearing armor, many people still recognized Qi Shuyuan and Qi Shuhan, but they didn't dare to make a sound.

?? Yun Songyan, who was seated first on the right, was also delighted to see Xia Runie come back intact, but he must have already known what happened in the imperial capital. "Oh." Yun Songyan sighed softly, but heard his daughter Yun Wei talking to herself behind her: "Why has he changed so much?"

??Xia Runie's gaze has been locked on Leng Zhuo's body since entering the hall, never squinting.

?? "See Your Majesty." Still didn't kneel down to salute, but this time Xia Runie was not alone, Qi Shuyuan and Qi Shuhan were also included.

??All the ministers couldn't help being surprised, after all, not only Leng Zhuo, but also his parents, aunt and brother were present, but Xia Runie and the others still only bowed to salute.

"You don't have to be polite, Aiqing." Leng Zhuo said in a clear voice, he clearly felt the coldness in Xia Runie's eyes, and Xia Runie's eyes were so painful to him, "Give me a seat."

"Your Majesty's kindness, I accept it." Xia Runei remained expressionless, pointing to the letter that Qi Shuyuan had just taken out from his bosom and put it in his hand, "This is the letter of surrender from Yasukuni. Ya's seal is the proof."

??All the officials were in an uproar. Everyone present knew how ruthless Lu Moya's tactics were, and he would retreat so easily. Although they didn't know why, they had to reevaluate Xia Runei.

?? "Aiqing is really a blessing to our country of Ye! This good news really cheers us up." Leng Zhuo was taken aback for a moment, then smiled heartily.

?? "Your Majesty praised you. There is one more thing," Xia Runie took off the helmet that symbolized the commander, "I request to resign as the commander of 'Beiling' and 'Simon', and return to her hometown." The tone was neither humble nor overbearing, But every word pierced his cold heart, and the pain kept lingering in his heart, refusing to go away.

?? Leng Zhuo didn't know how to make a decision, so he just chuckled: "Today, the good news comes one after another, so it's inappropriate to discuss such an important matter, General Xia, let's discuss it another day."

?? "Resignation." Without waiting for Leng Zhuo's agreement, Xia Runie turned around and left without any hesitation, but heard a noble female voice behind her: "Wait a minute."

??The person who spoke was Leng Zhuo's aunt, Leng Qianjing. When she looked into Xia Runie's eyes, she always felt very familiar: "Where is the general's hometown?"

??Leng Zhuo was a little scared, he never thought that Leng Qianjing would stop Xia Runei.The situation is very bad now, although Xia Rune is not an impulsive person, but Xia Rune is angry with him, and Leng Zhuo is afraid that Xia Rune will conflict with Leng Qianjing in his anger.

??How could Xia Runei not know who the person who stopped him was? It was just for the sake of the overall situation that he could not have any emotional fluctuations or reactions.Xia Runie took a deep breath, turned around and looked at Leng Qianjing: "Princess Hui, I was an orphan since I was a child. Fortunately, I was adopted by the old general of Nangong, and I have achieved what I am today. As for my hometown, I don't know." People couldn't hear anything unusual, but Xia Runie's heart kept beating faster.

"I don't know how to return home?" Leng Qianjing continued to ask.

?? "The world is so big, the place where my heart is at ease is my hometown, and the place where my heart is at ease is my home." Xia Runei replied flatly.

"The general is going to resign and leave the court. So, he is telling me that your peace of mind is not in this imperial capital? Isn't it in this Ye Kingdom?" Leng Qianjing's tone was very calm, but it sounded like Unusual vitriol.

???? "My heart is at ease in the world, and this world already belongs to Daye." This answer, Xia Ruai would never say that before, he has always dismissed this kind of intrigue and word games, but time has passed Changed, and changed him.

?? "The general is really a loyal minister of my country of Ye," Leng Qianjing said slowly, "Then I wonder if the general has ever heard of the Xia family in Tuluo City?"

?? Originally, Leng Qianshu and his wife were wondering why Leng Qianjing would suddenly ask these questions, but now that they heard it, they understood that Leng Qianjing was afraid.

"Never." Apart from Xia Runie, only Leng Zhuo knew that the Xia family in Tuluo City that Leng Qianjing mentioned was actually Xia Runie's real hometown, and it was the place that Xia Runie didn't want to mention the most. place.

?? "I'm worrying too much." Leng Qianjing smiled gracefully.

?? "Resignation." This time, Xia Runie left without looking back. He knew that Leng Qianjing had never believed it, but she didn't point it out, so he didn't need to worry.

??Before Xia Runei reached the gate of the palace, he was stopped by someone. Looking back, Leng Ning ran towards them dragging a handsome man regardless of his appearance.

"My lord, you're back." Leng Ning stood in front of Xia Runie, panting, with joy on his face.Of course, he did not forget to introduce the people around him, "His name is Mu Jin, the second son of the Duke's Mansion, and it will be in a few days..." Leng Ning's pretty face flushed slightly, she was really cute.

"Well, I got it." Xia Runie's expression was rare and slightly soft, but it was still not what Leng Ning saw in the past, Xia Runie clasped his fists at Mu Jin, "Xia Runie."

??Mu Jin imitated Xia Runie's way and replied: "Mu Jin." The seemingly serious but more entangled expression made Leng Ning laugh.

"My lord," Leng Ning knew that Xia Ruyi must have been hurt too deeply because of Leng Zhuan's incident, so he explained, "You have to trust the second brother, in fact, he..."

"Princess!" An old man's voice interrupted Leng Ning's words. Leng Ning immediately knew that it was the old servant beside Leng Qianjing, and hurriedly said to Xia Runei: "My lord, you must believe that the two Brother, and, the day after tomorrow I get married, you must come, you must come." After speaking, Leng Ning took Mu Jin's hand again and ran towards the old servant.

??Xia Ruxie stared at the backs of the two of them, stayed there for a while, then turned and left.

?? "Ning'er, he must love the king very much." Mu Jin said affirmatively while looking at Xia Runie's back without looking back while running.

"How do you know?" Leng Ning looked at the man next to him who was about to become her husband, and every time he said something, she would be surprised.

?? "It's all written in his eyes." Mu Jin smiled brightly, and then said, "That's because love breeds hatred."

??Leng Ning looked at Mu Jin half-understanding, and wanted to continue to question, but was brought to Leng Qianjing's side eagerly by the old servant.

??…

?? On the day of Leng Ning's wedding, the imperial capital was decorated with lights and festoons, full of joy.

??Xia Runei only took Ayin to the Duke's Mansion today to congratulate him, but he didn't know that the surroundings of the Duke's Mansion were full of dangers.

?? When Xia Ru Nie arrived, Leng Zhuo and the others were already here. Xia Ru Nie did not look sideways, and found a relatively quiet place with very few people around to sit down.Not long after Xia Ru Nie sat down, a maid who had never met before quietly handed a letter to Xia Ru Nie. The maid did not speak, but left quickly.Xia Runie unfolded the letter, skimmed through it quickly, and understood the general idea, but even if he knew everything, what could he change?It had been arranged long ago, and the effect of this letter was too small.

??The number of guests increased one after another, and the time was approaching noon.

?? "Auspicious time! Please groom and bride!" The high-pitched voice of the ceremony officer rang in the ears of each guest, and all the guests were silent. Mu Jin was dressed in a happy dress with a bright smile on his face. On the other side, Leng Ning Covering his head, Xi Niang carefully supported him and walked to the lobby.

??The main seats in the lobby were the parents of Leng Ning and Mu Jin, and the left and right were filled by Leng Qianshu, Leng Qianjing, Leng Zhuo and others. Everyone's faces were filled with joy.

?? "Salute!" The ceremony officer followed the rules and shouted the same thing. Suddenly, a large number of men in black jumped in from outside, and the sound of fighting outside the mansion was also heard instantly.

??The appearance of the man in black, the hidden guards appeared in time, and the five hidden guards respectively protected the female relatives who had no martial arts, and dispersed to various places.However, because of Xia Ru's Nie's old injury, Xue Hen hid around Xia Ru's Nie and protected him.

??Frost Soul carefully protected the pregnant Asahi, but there were too many men in black, no matter how advanced her martial arts was, she could not cope.Frost Soul dealt with the enemy in front with all his strength, but unexpectedly, an enemy slipped by from the side, blocking Qian Hui's way, and the enemy raised his knife and slashed fiercely.

?? "Ah!" Qianhui's cry suddenly attracted the attention of Leng Zhuo and others.

?? "Qianhui!" After beating a man in black to death with a cold blow, he ran over in a hurry, but stopped halfway.The person who wanted to kill Qian Hui suddenly fell to the ground, and the one who killed him was Xia Ru'ne who was closest to there.

??Xia Runie glanced at Qian Hui, whose face was pale with fright, and killed another enemy who was attacking with his backhand. The blood of the enemy stained Xia Runie's white clothes red, with a cold expression, as if from Rakshasa-like from hell, it is frightening.

??Xia Runie grabbed Qian Hui and pushed her to A Yin's side, ordering Xuehen to protect her, but she was surrounded by men in black.

?? Leng Zhuo ran to Qian Hui's side at the fastest speed, expressed concern softly, and then said "Thank you" to Xia Ru Nie.

??Hearing Leng Zhuo's voice, Xia Ru Nian lost his mind and was stabbed in the shoulder by a man in black. Xia Ru Nian kicked him to the ground and stabbed the sword into the man's heart .

??Seeing that Leng Zhuo had arrived, Xue Hen wanted to rush to Xia Ru Nie's side in a hurry, but he was injured again.

??Due to the timely arrival of the Royal Forest Army, the scene was brought under control, and there were no casualties except for the family members of several officials who were injured.In the fight just now, the enemy was not targeting them coldly, but the pregnant Qian'ai.

?? In a panic, the hijab on Leng Ning's head fell to the ground. She watched Xia Runie get hurt protecting Qian Hui, and she watched Xia Runie's white robe and pure white face stained with blood.Is that still the gentle boy in white clothes who was so beautiful?Leng Ning asked himself feebly.

?? Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Xia Ruxie threw away the sword he had just casually picked up in his hand, and quietly left without attracting too much attention.
