The general said she doesn't take a wife
Chapter 28 The Capital
Lin Aoxue brought Yunyan back to Yong'an. Yunyan already knew about the situation in Yong'an Town, but when they saw each other again, she still felt extremely sad.
The news that Lin Aoxue came back with a hundred light cavalry reached Yang Jin's ears. His tense face finally relaxed a little. After he sighed helplessly, he asked the guards to comfort the frightened doctors and let them take a look at the injured town. civil.
Yong'an Town is already uninhabitable, and the 300-[-] people who survived are basically separated from their wives, their families were destroyed, and the whole family escaped the disaster, which is really very rare.
During the time when Lin Aoxue led the troops out to rescue people, Yang Jin ordered the army to collect the corpses of the townspeople. The townspeople who survived cried hoarsely, the scene was desolate and sad, and many soldiers had red eyes.
The soldiers gathered all the dead people in Yong'an Town together. There were more than 300 corpses in total. These dead people were just the most ordinary people.
Lin Aoxue clenched the handle of the gun tightly. She saw the guards who stopped them in front of the town gate that day to prevent the wounded soldiers from entering Yong'an. He had two scimitars pierced into his body. Lin Aoxue recognized that it was the leather of the barbarian's clothes.
Although this person is not likable, he has shown rare fearlessness and bravery in the face of the righteousness of his family and country. He died to protect Yong'an Town. He is a person worthy of respect.
Yang Jin's face was ashamed, this tragic situation was like a hell on earth, he was silent for a long time, and then let everyone retreat with red eyes, in order to prevent the corpse from decomposing and causing a more serious plague, he endured heavy pressure and heartache and ordered a fire these corpses.
The living townspeople burst into tears, refusing to leave the dead bodies of their loved ones. The soldiers who tried to keep calm raised them up, ignoring their hard-hitting fists and feet on their faces and bodies, pulled them aside, and covered their ears and eyes .
When the fire ignited, it was like the desolate and sad mood when we cleared the battlefield and bid farewell to those dead comrades-in-arms, but there was more indescribable grief and indignation. The process is long and cruel, and it seems to be endless, which makes people feel unreasonably desolate.
As soldiers in the northern border, they can only go to the battlefield again and again, watering this thick land with their own blood and the blood of the enemy, looking forward to the day when beautiful flowers will bloom under the warm sunshine.
No one left until the fire burned out and the sky turned from blue to gray.
When the pattering rain swayed down from the sky, Yang Jin seemed to get away suddenly, and knelt on the ground with a plop. The cold rain hit his shoulders, bent his spine, and made him look several times older. age.
The townspeople's cries gradually subsided, Yang Jin rubbed his eyes vigorously, the tears dripped down mixed with the rain, and soon disappeared.
He stood up staggeringly, Yong'an had no place to hide from the rain, and he asked the guards to escort the surviving townspeople to settle in Poyan. When the group left, the wind was rustling and whimpering, as if the clouds in Yong'an town were also wailing. cry.
Yun Yan also followed in the team, Lin Aoxue took off the leather armor on the outside of her clothes and put it on Yun Yan's head to protect her from the rain, Yun Yan raised her eyes and smiled at her, did not refuse her kindness, but asked her again:
"It's good that you're hurt, it's raining again, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold when you go back."
One autumn rain and one cold, the sky is getting darker and colder. When this kind of rain falls on the body, it brings a deep chill and will erode the human body.
Lin Aoxue sullenly let the rain flow down her cheeks, and calmly replied:
"It's okay. We haven't seen any kind of ghostly weather when we are marching outside. This bit of rain is not bad."
Yun Yan tilted her head thoughtfully, thinking of making some ginger soup for Lin Aoxue to relieve the cold after returning home.
Lu Sheng led some of Lin Aoxue's soldiers back a little further. The atmosphere in the team was dull, everyone's heart was heavy, they were witty, and no one made any jokes at this time.
They walked very fast. The townspeople who had just experienced a disaster and couldn't support them were carried by the soldiers on their backs. Not long after they left Yong'an, the rain gradually stopped. After walking for another half an hour, they finally arrived at Poyan.
The team stayed in Poyan to rest, and Yang Jin personally went to resettle the refugees from Yong'an. They stayed in Poyan for five days. Sure enough, many of the soldiers and refugees caught the cold after being exposed to the rain. Fortunately, Yunyan had expected it. The medicine was prescribed early, and Lin Aoxue was asked to report to Yang Jin, and the medicine was distributed, and the illness was quickly suppressed.
Five days later, the situation in Poyan finally stabilized. Yang Jin left 2 soldiers and horses to continue stationing in Poyan, while he himself led the remaining [-] people to return to Xingbei Pass to return to Xingbeiguan, and discussed with Bei Chenlong about the situation this time. The situation of the war and the reasons for the outbreak of the war.
The barbarians' attack on Poyan was too sudden this time, and they did not disclose at all. How they quietly moved tens of thousands of troops to Poyan is a question that urgently needs to be answered.
Yunyan left the barracks and went back to Xingbeiguan, it seemed that she had no other place to go except to go back to the Yanyu Building.
Lin Aoxue was going back to Xingbei Pass with the army. Before she left, she went to Yun Yan and asked her if she wanted to go back to Yanyu Tower, but Yun Yan shook her head at her and said softly:
"Aoxue, the end of the year is approaching, I have to go back to the capital."
Hearing this, Lin Aoxue was stunned for a moment, she didn't understand why Yunyan wanted to go to the capital at the end of the year, isn't she from the north?What surprised her even more and didn't understand was that Yunyan was obviously the oiran of Yanyulou, why did she go to the capital?
She remembered what Yunyan had said to her before, that Yunyan was sent to Yanyu Building by her father, did her return to the capital have something to do with her father?
What exactly is Yunyan's identity?
Lin Aoxue has always been curious and confused about Yunyan's identity. An ordinary oiran is never as free and unrestrained and versatile as her, but everyone has their own secrets, and she will not make Yunyan feel embarrassed.
She is just a little bit reluctant. Since more than ten years ago, she has been alone. Now she finally meets a Yunyan who knows her secret and is willing to treat her tenderly. Even though she cannot enjoy this tenderness to herself, she also finds it difficult. let go.
"Then will you still come to the north?"
Lin Aoxue clenched the handle of the gun tightly, pursed her lips, pretending to be unintentional, but asked extremely nervously.
Yun Yan looked at her with a smile, blinked her eyes delicately, moved closer, and asked in a low voice:
"Then you want me to come back?"
Lin Aoxue's face froze, she turned her head and refused to answer.
Yunyan pretended to be disappointed, took two steps back, pretended to wipe away the tears that she didn't have at all, lowered her head and murmured:
"You don't think about me, and you don't want me to come back, so what's the point of me coming back?"
Lin Aoxue gasped for breath, because she tilted her head, so she couldn't see the expression on Yunyan's face, nor did she see the sly smile in the latter's eyes. She held the gun handle tightly and tightly, and her front teeth almost bit her lower lip to bleed Come.
After a while, with her heart clamoring, arguing, and clamoring fiercely, she finally closed her eyes and replied:
"I think, I want you to come back!"
She speaks very fast and does not stutter at critical moments.But her face was ugly, as if she was about to go to the battlefield to fight, and she was forced by Yun Yan to become a prostitute.
Yunyan couldn't hold it back for a while, and laughed out loud, Lin Aoxue realized that she had been tricked again, she was extremely annoyed, desperate to die of shame, she clenched her fists tightly with her teeth gritted, her face was as black as ashes under a boiler .
Seeing Lin Aoxue like this, she knew she was mad at Lin Aoxue, Yun Yan laughed enough to stop her voice, and quickly stepped forward to grab Lin Aoxue's sleeve, and flung it coquettishly:
"In the spring of next year, I will come back and open a pharmacy, what do you think?"
Being pulled by Yun Yan like this, Lin Aoxue immediately forgot her resentment, and became nervous again awkwardly. After Yun Yan finished speaking, she widened her eyes and asked in surprise:
"The pharmacy? What about the Misty Rain Building? Are you going back?"
Yun Yan also stared at her, pretending to be angry and asking:
"Why, Bei Chenlong paid the ransom, you still want me to jump in there again?"
Lin Aoxue straightened her back and shook her head again and again:
"You know I don't mean that."
She was just wondering, if she could leave the Yanyu Tower so easily, why did Yunyan stay there for so long before? She left the Yanyu Tower to go to the barracks earlier, and it can also be said that the deterrent force of the northern barracks is there. Only because of Beichenlong's official prestige did he let go.
But Yunyan wants to open a pharmacy alone, how easy is it?
Lin Aoxue couldn't figure out how Yunyan acted, and she couldn't figure it out, but Yunyan only looked at her and smiled. Lin Aoxue couldn't possibly know the price behind that smile for this willful and selfish decision.
It is not an easy task for a person who is stuck in the quagmire to get out of the rotten quagmire and retreat.
So she is going to the capital to exchange her own value for more freedom and rights.
When the army returned, Yunyan sent Lin Aoxue outside the temporary camp, and watched Lin Aoxue walk back to the army, the smile on her face slowly dissipated.
A carriage approached slowly and stopped firmly behind Yunyan. The door curtain was lifted, and a respectful call came from inside:
"Miss Yun."
Yun Yan took another look at the camp in the distance. Even if she looked far away, she couldn't see the figure she had just sent away.
She turned around and got into the carriage, sighing softly:
"Back to the capital."
The battle situation was initially decided, and Lin Aoxue followed Yang Jin's army back to Xingbei Pass. The senior officials in the pass discussed the attack on Poyan for a whole day. After Bei Chenlong sent a large army to reinforce Poyan that day, he sent another person to check the barbarians. The route of the invasion found that all the outposts on the road had been removed.
The barbarians moved quickly and silently. Obviously, someone sent a message to the barbarians from inside the pass, letting them know the regularity of the guard changing at the outpost, and bought enough time.
Bei Chenlong was furious, and there was an inner ghost in the army. Not only should this matter not be publicized, but it should be suppressed as much as possible, and then secretly investigated.As for how much time it will take, he is not sure at all.
Lin Aoxue showed great power in the battle to recapture Poyan, killed hundreds of enemies, broke open the city gate, and made outstanding achievements. Bei Chenlong finally promoted her to a thousand households. She is also the first in the history of the northern border. Then he was promoted all the way from the corps leader to the soldier of a thousand households.
Since then, Xingbeiguan has been waiting in full force, but the barbarians did not come to invade again until late autumn passed and early winter came. The first snow fell on the land of Xingbeiguan, dyeing everything silvery white, and it also turned the past year on this land. The blood flowing on the ground hides silently.
With winter approaching, the soldiers in the northern border finally had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief. Bei Chenlong also ordered the recruitment of new soldiers as in previous years.
The end of the year was approaching, and an urgent order came from the capital, the emperor asked Bei Chenlong to send military officers above the general level back to Beijing to report on their duties.
The moment Bei Chenlong received the imperial decree, Bei Chenlong's face turned pale, and the war situation at the border would be compiled by the warlord every other month and sent back to the capital.
Obviously, Yang Jin has already submitted all the battles of Xingbei Pass this year. Even if Bei Chenlong won several battles before and finally regained Poyan, he could not cover up the guilt of Poyan's capture and Yong'an's destruction.
The emperor will not ask about the process, he only looks at the final result, and will never make mistakes.
Because of this, Bei Chenlong felt great pressure, and he had to carefully consider the candidates he sent to Beijing this time.
The closer it is to the New Year's Eve, the more worried Bei Chenlong will be. Even in a place as bitter and cold as the Northern Territory, every Chinese New Year is full of joy, but the army remains bleak as always. reverberate.
The weather was getting colder, and the soldiers all put on thicker clothes. Lin Aoxue came down from the school grounds and rubbed her hands with her silver gun. She glanced in the direction of the capital. It had been more than a month since Yunyan left the northern border. up.
She didn't know how Yunyan was doing after going to the capital, and whether she could really return to the north to open a small pharmacy next spring.If it is really possible to live a stable and peaceful life after returning home as Yun Yan imagined, Lin Aoxue also thinks it will be good.
As for herself, she still had a big revenge, and another year has passed in a hurry, and she will be one year older in the coming year.
She doesn't think much about it on weekdays, but sometimes, when the New Year's Eve is approaching, other people's family reunions, even the soldiers in the barracks, some people come from outside the barracks to visit, and she is alone, still Feeling sad for no reason.
She returned to her tent, lit the lamp as usual, opened the book to study the art of war, but Lu Sheng's rough and unrestrained voice sounded outside the door:
"Thousands!"
Lin Aoxue was promoted to a thousand households, and Lu Sheng was also promoted through the battle of Poyan. He ran in with a jug of wine, and sat down on the floor in front of Lin Aoxue, holding the wine jar and Lin Aoxue with a smile:
"I went to the market just now and passed by Fuyun Manor, so I brought back a jar of wine. Anyway, I will have a rest tomorrow, why don't Qianhu have a drink?"
Lin Aoxue put down her book and saw that Lu Sheng had fetched two wine bowls on her own. She carefully noticed that Lu Sheng's eyes were a little red. She thought that when she went to the market just now, she was touched by the New Year's atmosphere in Guanzhong.
She breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on her face, and didn't try to pierce Lu Sheng's small thoughts, just said:
"Okay, fill it up!"
Lu Sheng happily poured wine for Lin Aoxue, the two sat opposite each other and drank, after drinking, Lu Sheng and Lin Aoxue chatted about the past family affairs, he said that he had a wife and a two-year-old daughter , both parents are there, and every Chinese New Year, the family is also lively.
As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and tears soon flowed down his cheeks. The hot tears fell into the wine bowl, making the just-warmed wine dizzy and bitter.
It was supposed to be a happy family, but during the autumn harvest last year, due to the invasion of the barbarians, the homeland was flattened, and all the happiness became shattered, just like... the Yongan Town that was just destroyed this year.
Lin Aoxue said that the wine in the bowl poured down her throat, she was silent, not knowing how to comfort her, she just let out a long sigh and smiled wryly:
"I was just like you 13 years ago."
People who have not experienced it personally will never be able to empathize with it. This kind of knife cut in the heart, even if the wound slowly heals and grows as time goes by, the pain will be doubled every new year.
Lu Sheng was silent for a long time before he shook his head and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp. After the wine was swallowed, he laughed twice again with tears in his eyes, and then suddenly burst into tears .
Men don't flick their tears lightly, and crying like this is even more difficult.
Lin Aoxue patted Lu Sheng on the shoulder, and didn't continue to comfort him. It was better to release her emotions than to hold them in her heart.
That night, Lu Sheng got drunk, Lin Aoxue dragged him back to his place by his collar, threw him on the bed, covered him with a quilt, and went back.
Early the next morning, Bei Chenlong sent messengers to call Lin Aoxue over.
Lin Aoxue drank some wine last night, and she was resting again today, so she woke up a little later. When she heard Bei Chenlong's sudden summons, she got up in a daze and went to Bei Chenlong's camp with the messenger.
Besides Bei Chenlong, there were two other people in the tent, the military governor Yang Jin and the general Guo Wencheng.
When Lin Aoxue came, Bei Chenlong and Yang Jin were discussing matters, and when they heard the messenger outside the tent saying that Lin Aoxue was coming, Bei Chenlong beckoned the guards to let Lin Aoxue in, and after Lin Aoxue saluted, Bei Chenlong said:
"Aoxue, you have been to the capital before!"
Hearing this, Lin Aoxue felt a little inexplicable, why did the good-natured Bei Chenlong suddenly mention the capital?With a calm face, she replied calmly:
"Yes, many years ago, I went to the capital to find relatives but failed, and lived on the streets. If I hadn't met my master by chance, my subordinates might not have survived that winter."
Bei Chenlong nodded:
"Well, what happened in the past few years is embarrassing, but now you are a thousand households, even if you go to the capital again, you will have a good time."
Lin Aoxue suddenly heard Bei Chenlong say this, she was stunned, looked up at Bei Chenlong, and said doubtfully:
"What does the general mean by that?"
Bei Chenlong didn't make a detour, walked over from behind the table and patted Lin Aoxue's shoulder:
"The imperial edict came to ask me to send someone to Beijing to report on my duties. I plan to send Guo Wencheng, and you will accompany me."
Lin Aoxue is the best recruit in the Northern Territory this year, and she has participated in every battle completely. Bei Chenlong intends to train Lin Aoxue. This time, going to Beijing to report on her duties is also an opportunity to perform. In the eyes of the emperor, Lin Aoxue's appearance can represent the lower-level soldiers in the Northern Territory. Her quality, her position is neither high nor low, just right.
After choosing left and right, he decided to let Lin Aoxue go with Guo Wencheng.
After Bei Chenlong finished speaking, Lin Aoxue's expression was rather shocked. After a while, she finally understood, knelt down on one knee, and saluted Bei Chenlong:
"The subordinates will live up to the general's high expectations."
There are so many soldiers in the northern border, and after a lifetime of fighting, few can enter the capital. Of course, Lin Aoxue knew that this was a rare opportunity to enter the capital. Being lenient, you will not be too harsh, and you can get many rewards.
Naturally, Lin Aoxue didn't go for those rewards. If possible, she actually didn't want to go back to the capital right now. The more familiar the place is, the easier it is to show its flaws and be discovered by others.
But she couldn't refuse Bei Chenlong's arrangement, this was an errand that everyone wanted, and if she showed any reluctance, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
Lin Aoxue's reaction undoubtedly satisfied Bei Chenlong. He nodded and smiled, and said another sentence:
"The important place in central Beijing is not as important as our northern border. You can't act recklessly, but remember to listen to General Guo's arrangements, you know?"
"Subordinates respectfully obey the general's instruction!"
Lin Aoxue responded repeatedly, and when she got up, she turned her head to look at Guo Wencheng, who smiled and nodded at her, Lin Aoxue immediately clasped her fists at him:
"Please take care of General Guo."
Bei Chenlong also laughed:
"Well, the end of the year is approaching, pack up your things after you go back, and start as soon as possible, don't miss the time."
Lin Aoxue and Guo Wencheng retreated under orders, leaving only Yang Jin in the tent to discuss matters with Bei Chenlong.
On the way back, Lin Aoxue first went to look for Lu Sheng, who had just woken up. Lin Aoxue told him that she was going out for two days. This time, she went to the capital, and she might not be able to return until years later. There are many things that need to be arranged .
When Lu Sheng heard that Lin Aoxue was going to the capital, he was extremely shocked, but soon, he became happy again, sighing that the capital is a good place, while jumping up and down, he said that he would help Lin Aoxue pack his things, but Lin Aoxue sternly refused.
After Lin Aoxue explained the affairs in the camp, she met several hundred households under her command. She didn't say what she was going to do, but said that she had a mission for the past two months. A few hundred households supervise and urge the soldiers to practice well, and they must not slack off.
After arranging everything, Lin Aoxue returned to her tent, prepared two sets of clothes for washing, brought some dry food, and there was only one gun left, nothing else.
There was nothing to say all night, and in the early morning of the second day, Lin Aoxue waited at the gate of the camp half an hour earlier. After a cup of tea, Guo Wencheng also arrived earlier. in rush.
The capital city is located in the south of the Beichen Kingdom, and it takes more than half of the Beichen Kingdom to get from the northern border to the capital. Lin Aoxue and her two raced fast and ran for more than 20 days, and finally arrived at the capital before the New Year's Eve.
Lin Aoxue looked at the increasingly clear city gate in the distance with deep eyes.
She hasn't come back to this place for ten years. Ten years can change a lot of things. Those who died and what happened have gradually faded from the memory of others, and few people mention it anymore.
Lin Aoxue didn't know what the original Zhenguo General's Mansion looked like now, and she didn't want to know.This time returning to Beijing was all accidental, and she would not be distracted by other things. The right way was to complete the tasks arranged by Bei Chenlong with peace of mind, and then return to the northern border, and continue to hide her strength and bide her time.
Approaching the magnificent city gate of the capital, Lin Aoxue suddenly flashed clouds and smoke in her mind, the corners of her lips pursed, and a faint smile appeared on her face.Yunyan is also in the capital, although Lin Aoxue understands that it is impossible for them to meet by chance in the huge capital, but having this fate to celebrate the New Year together in the capital is also considered a happy thing.
Horses were not allowed in Beijing, so Lin Aoxue and Guo Wencheng reined in in front of the city gate, jumped off their horses, checked their identities at the guards outside the city gate, and then were allowed to lead the horse into the city.
Lin Aoxue followed Guo Wencheng into the gate of the city, and she saw a wide and flat street. The roads in the middle of the capital extend in all directions, and there are many shops and pavilions, which are extremely prosperous.
Those small stalls that can be seen everywhere in the northern market are not allowed to be placed in Beijing, and they are all grouped in a corner of the city.
Lin Aoxue walked on the streets of the capital, and at the same time looked around. She hadn't returned for ten years, and there was basically no change in the capital, except that the shops opened new businesses, or the restaurants and teahouses changed to other owners.
"You've been to the capital before, but you haven't been to these places, have you?"
Seeing Lin Aoxue looking around, Guo Wencheng couldn't help asking with a smile, as if he was sighing.
Lin Aoxue knew that he didn't have any malicious intentions, she was just explaining the fact that beggars are not allowed to beg in the main streets of the city.In order to ensure the cleanliness of the city, peddlers and beggars were driven away and could not stay here.
So he said that Lin Aoxue should have never been here before, and he didn't mean to ridicule.
Lin Aoxue nodded generously and admitted:
"At that time, I only dared to beg near the market in the west, and I had never been to these places."
Guo Wencheng laughed:
"Then after the face saint, you can go out for a stroll. There are many interesting things in the capital."
Lin Aoxue replied yes, and chatted with Guo Wencheng for a few more words.
Guo Wencheng's father was a civil servant of the third grade and owned a family business in central Beijing. Although Guo Wencheng had been guarding the border for many years, he grew up in Beijing when he was a child, so he was quite familiar with the capital.He went against the official career path arranged by his father and insisted on following his best friend Yang Jin to the border. It has been 11 years since he left Beijing.
When he returned to Beijing this time, his mood was also very complicated. He didn't know whether he would be kicked out by his old father directly after returning to the Guo Mansion.
Lin Aoxue and Guo Wencheng felt sorry for each other, but they were speechless for a moment.The two walked forward for a while, and after a corner, there was the inn.
Guo Wencheng led Lin Aoxue towards the inn, and Xiaoer, who was soliciting customers outside the inn, quickly stepped forward to take the reins from the two of them. They were about to enter the door, when suddenly there was a loud noise from the street, Lin Aoxue stopped and turned around. He turned his head in the direction of the sound.
There was a carriage speeding on the street, the horses seemed to be frightened and out of control, running extremely fast, the servants driving the carriage turned pale with fright, and pedestrians on both sides of the road gave way in panic.
When the fast-moving carriage was about to pass by the place where Lin Aoxue was standing, the wheel was crushed by a stone on the ground, the body trembled, and the wheel on one side was lifted.
There was a terrified scream from inside the car. The servant sitting in front of the car failed to hold on to the shaft and was thrown from the car by a huge force. He fell to the ground and rolled several times, bleeding all over the ground. It is dead or alive.
The out-of-control carriage continued to speed forward, but it had completely deviated from its original direction, one wheel was hanging in the air, and it was rushing towards Lin Aoxue!
Lin Aoxue frowned, she was standing on the edge of the street, with the inn beside her, she could dodge sideways, but the carriage would definitely crash into the gate of the inn, hurting the passers-by beside her, and even the guests in the inn .
Guo Wencheng had already been attracted by this movement. Seeing the carriage rushing towards Lin Aoxue, Guo Wencheng's complexion changed drastically, and he shouted loudly:
"Danger!"
He subconsciously reminded Lin Aoxue to avoid it, and when Lin Aoxue sensed the direction of the carriage, she also sighed in her heart. Her gaze was fixed, her toes lightly tapped the ground, and she jumped up, advancing instead of retreating. Guo Wencheng was shocked. In his eyes, he rushed towards the carriage.
She jumped onto the shaft of the carriage, grasped the fast-swinging rein with quick eyes and hands, stepped hard on the side of the wheel, and pushed the raised wheel back to the ground. At the same time, she pulled the rein with both hands to force the mad horse to turn.
The bumpy carriage passed by like lightning in front of the inn, and the waiter, who was too late to retreat in the future, was so frightened that he slumped on the ground.
After Lin Aoxue led the horse to the right path, she simply jumped onto the horse's back, clamped the horse's belly tightly, pulled the reins, controlled the horse's running speed, and slowly stopped the frightened horse with extremely superb skills.
"What a handsome kung fu!"
As soon as the carriage stopped, someone gave a loud admiration, and the people on both sides of the street applauded one after another. For a moment, the whole street was thunderous with cheers, and the scene was quite spectacular.
Guo Wencheng was awakened by the cheers, and he asked Xiaoer to see how the coachman who fell off the carriage just now was doing, and then walked towards Lin Aoxue quickly:
"Lin Qianhu!"
Guo Wencheng yelled, and when she got closer, Lin Aoxue had already rolled off the horse and landed on the ground, and turned her head to gently stroke the horse's neck to express comfort.The red-brown horse snorted and kicked and kicked in place, looking a lot more docile.
"Okay, you are really amazing!"
Seeing that Lin Aoxue was unharmed, Guo Wencheng gave a thumbs up in admiration.
"Let's go, it's alright."
Lin Aoxue let go of the reins, turned around and thanked the neighbors for their compliments, and prepared to go back to the inn with Guo Wencheng.
But she didn't take two steps, and suddenly there was a soft drink from behind:
"Wait a minute!"
Lin Aoxue stopped again, turned around and looked towards the carriage, and saw that the curtain of the carriage was raised, revealing the figures of two women, one of them was a woman in a palace dress with a beautiful face, and her two eyes were very light-colored, as if shining from the sun. come out from inside.
There was still a flustered expression in her eyes, and the other party had lingering fears about the accident she had just experienced, but in front of outsiders, she still forced herself to be calm in order to show her noble identity and virtuous character.
The maid beside her lifted the door curtain of the carriage for her, and the woman leaned forward slightly, looking at Lin Aoxue:
"Thank you for your help. I don't know if you can leave your name, this county... I will definitely send someone to thank you in the future."
With a cold face, Lin Aoxue cast a sideways glance at the woman, and said:
"You don't need to say thank you for your effort."
After saying that, she turned around and left. Seeing her indifferent attitude, Guo Wencheng didn't want to stay longer, so he hugged the girl in the carriage, turned around and rushed to Lin Aoxue's side, and walked into the inn together with her.
The people in the carriage obviously did not expect Lin Aoxue's attitude to be so indifferent, she froze for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, Lin Aoxue and Guo Wencheng had gone away.The maid beside her also widened her eyes, looked at Lin Aoxue's back like a ghost, and murmured:
"Wow, princess, this person is too courageous."
Bei Chenling withdrew her gaze, thoughtful, and did not express her opinion on the maidservant's words of praise.
The boy who fell off the carriage just now broke his head and bled all over the place. Fortunately, he happened to have a medical clinic next to him. Big problem.
The boy got up and thanked the doctor, left the money, then ran back to the carriage with the wound on his head, and confessed to the master in the carriage.
Bei Chenling saw that he fell miserably, was covered in ashes, and the gauze that had just wrapped his head was still soaked in blood, so he didn't criticize him harshly. He only asked the doctor in the mansion to prescribe some medicine for him after returning home, and then signaled to the maidservant Help yourself out of the car.
Today she sneaked out without an attendant, she didn't dare to sit in this carriage anymore, this place is not too far from the palace, so she walked two steps back.
The servant led the carriage and followed them. Bei Chenling took a few steps, and the panic in her heart gradually dissipated. Only then did she recall the person who had saved her just now, a strange man wearing half a mask.
She turned to the maid beside her and asked:
"Yun'er, what did the gray-clothed gentleman call the black-clothed gentleman just now?"
The two of them didn't leave their names, so it's really not easy to call them.
Yun'er heard the words, tried hard to think back, and answered with some uncertainty:
"It seems to be 'Lin Qianhu'."
The situation was urgent just now, who cares about these other things.
Bei Chenling let out a "huh" and said nothing.
On the other side, Lin Aoxue and Guo Wencheng walked back to the inn side by side, the waiter kept thanking Lin Aoxue, if Lin Aoxue hadn't shown his skills just now, he would definitely be the first person to be hit by the carriage.
How could he bear such a carriage rushing towards him, and he would have to lie in bed for several months if he didn't want to die.
Lin Aoxue was expressionless from the beginning to the end, and there was even a faint evil spirit on her body. After dismissing the waiter in the shop, she asked the shopkeeper to open two upper rooms. Lin Aoxue and Guo Wencheng said that they were a little tired, so they went back to their own. Room.
Guo Wencheng was already used to Lian Aoxue's fierce look, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He was already tired from the long journey, and after what happened just now, it's normal to feel tired and tired, so he didn't leave Lin Aoxue out for dinner. Said to ask Xiaoer to deliver the food to her later.
Lin Aoxue went back to the room, closed the door, put her back against the door panel, held the mask on her face with one hand, clenched her fist with the other, her eyes seemed to be covered with frost, revealing an undisguised killing spree. hatred and hatred.
"Oh... what a coincidence."
She didn't expect that she ran into Bei Chenling just after returning to the capital.She couldn't guarantee that if she walked a little later, she would be so angry that she would break the woman's neck on the spot.
Bei Chenling, the Princess of the Zongqin Prince's Mansion, is the jewel in the palm of Zongqin Wang Beichenhe.
Also... 13 years ago, I gave her a barbarian document that I didn't know where to hide in the inkstone, and asked her to take it home. Later, people sent by the emperor searched the document from the dark layer of the inkstone, so Convicted her father and ransacked her house.
When she was young and ignorant, she was used by others, and she once regarded this girl as her closest friend.
Lin Aoxue clasped her chest with her backhand, and bursts of piercing pain rolled over her heart, causing her to arch her body involuntarily. After a while, she gradually recovered, but her face was completely pale, and her back was wet with cold sweat one slice.
After that incident, she hasn't seen Bei Chenling for 13 years. Bei Chenling has changed a lot. She has lost her childish innocence and become mature and graceful. A strong arm.
Although she has changed a lot, and she can no longer see her childhood appearance, Lin Aoxue can still recognize her eyes even if they are reduced to ashes.
Lin Aoxue panted hard, expelled the stuffy air that was stuck in her chest, and then laughed at herself, regretting why she had to rescue her just now, and let the carriage crash into the door of the inn, it would be great.
She walked to the bed in two steps, lay down with all her clothes on, stretched out her hand and tore off the quilt, and covered her head with the quilt, she planned to have a good sleep and calm down.
When Lin Aoxue fell asleep, she dreamed of the scene when she visited the clan's prince's mansion when she was young and recited poems with Bei Chenling.
It was supposed to be a peaceful scene, but suddenly the surrounding scene changed, Bei Chenling stood in the sea of flames, stabbing Lin Aoxue's heart with a sharp dagger in her hand, but tears were streaming down her face, her lips opened and closed unknowingly said something.
Lin Aoxue woke up suddenly, someone knocked on the door, and there was a clear knocking sound.
She wiped the cold sweat off her forehead, feeling that she would be better off not sleeping this time. Although most of what she saw in the dream was forgotten after waking up, the feeling of exhaustion remained on her body, making her limbs weak and weak , very uncomfortable.
She struggled for a while, sat up from the bed, then got out of bed, went to open the door, the waiter came over with food, Lin Aoxue asked him to put it on the table, then went out to fetch water, and cleaned up a bit, Just sat down to eat.
After dinner, it was still early in the day, Lin Aoxue knocked on the door of Guo Wencheng's room, and found that he was not in the room after going out, so Lin Aoxue left the inn on her own, intending to take a stroll nearby.
She paced slowly along the street, because the end of the year was approaching, the capital city was at the foot of the emperor, and there were lights and festoons everywhere, very beautifully decorated.
Lin Aoxue was walking, and was about to cross a street, but suddenly heard a melodious qin sound coming from a distance. The melodious qin music seemed familiar, and it passed through the long street with people coming and going, and got into Lin Aoxue's ears.
She froze for a moment, then subconsciously turned her head to look, only to see a pavilion standing in the depths of the long street, with exquisite and elegant decoration, majestic and majestic.
In the open space in front of the building, many romantic and talented scholars gathered, admiring poems and paintings with each other.In the middle of the attic, there is a qin platform slanted outward on the second floor, and a woman plays the qin on the platform, with a soft rhythm and a moving temperament.
Lin Aoxue was far away, so she couldn't see the appearance of the person on the stage clearly. She hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards the small building.
The entrance of the street is not far from the small building, about a hundred steps, when she approached, the sound of the qin had stopped, and the person playing the qin just now also left the qin platform, and there was only one guqin left on the qin platform, which looked particularly desolate.
Her gaze was lowered a bit, and she saw a plaque hanging on the door beam of the entrance to the house on the first floor, which read:
Misty Rain Building.
The author has something to say: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha"
Yanyu Building: Sorry, we are a chain!
That's right, I changed the time again, I'm updating at six o'clock in the morning now!Cross your waist for a while.jpg
Routine comments please accept please click!
The news that Lin Aoxue came back with a hundred light cavalry reached Yang Jin's ears. His tense face finally relaxed a little. After he sighed helplessly, he asked the guards to comfort the frightened doctors and let them take a look at the injured town. civil.
Yong'an Town is already uninhabitable, and the 300-[-] people who survived are basically separated from their wives, their families were destroyed, and the whole family escaped the disaster, which is really very rare.
During the time when Lin Aoxue led the troops out to rescue people, Yang Jin ordered the army to collect the corpses of the townspeople. The townspeople who survived cried hoarsely, the scene was desolate and sad, and many soldiers had red eyes.
The soldiers gathered all the dead people in Yong'an Town together. There were more than 300 corpses in total. These dead people were just the most ordinary people.
Lin Aoxue clenched the handle of the gun tightly. She saw the guards who stopped them in front of the town gate that day to prevent the wounded soldiers from entering Yong'an. He had two scimitars pierced into his body. Lin Aoxue recognized that it was the leather of the barbarian's clothes.
Although this person is not likable, he has shown rare fearlessness and bravery in the face of the righteousness of his family and country. He died to protect Yong'an Town. He is a person worthy of respect.
Yang Jin's face was ashamed, this tragic situation was like a hell on earth, he was silent for a long time, and then let everyone retreat with red eyes, in order to prevent the corpse from decomposing and causing a more serious plague, he endured heavy pressure and heartache and ordered a fire these corpses.
The living townspeople burst into tears, refusing to leave the dead bodies of their loved ones. The soldiers who tried to keep calm raised them up, ignoring their hard-hitting fists and feet on their faces and bodies, pulled them aside, and covered their ears and eyes .
When the fire ignited, it was like the desolate and sad mood when we cleared the battlefield and bid farewell to those dead comrades-in-arms, but there was more indescribable grief and indignation. The process is long and cruel, and it seems to be endless, which makes people feel unreasonably desolate.
As soldiers in the northern border, they can only go to the battlefield again and again, watering this thick land with their own blood and the blood of the enemy, looking forward to the day when beautiful flowers will bloom under the warm sunshine.
No one left until the fire burned out and the sky turned from blue to gray.
When the pattering rain swayed down from the sky, Yang Jin seemed to get away suddenly, and knelt on the ground with a plop. The cold rain hit his shoulders, bent his spine, and made him look several times older. age.
The townspeople's cries gradually subsided, Yang Jin rubbed his eyes vigorously, the tears dripped down mixed with the rain, and soon disappeared.
He stood up staggeringly, Yong'an had no place to hide from the rain, and he asked the guards to escort the surviving townspeople to settle in Poyan. When the group left, the wind was rustling and whimpering, as if the clouds in Yong'an town were also wailing. cry.
Yun Yan also followed in the team, Lin Aoxue took off the leather armor on the outside of her clothes and put it on Yun Yan's head to protect her from the rain, Yun Yan raised her eyes and smiled at her, did not refuse her kindness, but asked her again:
"It's good that you're hurt, it's raining again, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold when you go back."
One autumn rain and one cold, the sky is getting darker and colder. When this kind of rain falls on the body, it brings a deep chill and will erode the human body.
Lin Aoxue sullenly let the rain flow down her cheeks, and calmly replied:
"It's okay. We haven't seen any kind of ghostly weather when we are marching outside. This bit of rain is not bad."
Yun Yan tilted her head thoughtfully, thinking of making some ginger soup for Lin Aoxue to relieve the cold after returning home.
Lu Sheng led some of Lin Aoxue's soldiers back a little further. The atmosphere in the team was dull, everyone's heart was heavy, they were witty, and no one made any jokes at this time.
They walked very fast. The townspeople who had just experienced a disaster and couldn't support them were carried by the soldiers on their backs. Not long after they left Yong'an, the rain gradually stopped. After walking for another half an hour, they finally arrived at Poyan.
The team stayed in Poyan to rest, and Yang Jin personally went to resettle the refugees from Yong'an. They stayed in Poyan for five days. Sure enough, many of the soldiers and refugees caught the cold after being exposed to the rain. Fortunately, Yunyan had expected it. The medicine was prescribed early, and Lin Aoxue was asked to report to Yang Jin, and the medicine was distributed, and the illness was quickly suppressed.
Five days later, the situation in Poyan finally stabilized. Yang Jin left 2 soldiers and horses to continue stationing in Poyan, while he himself led the remaining [-] people to return to Xingbei Pass to return to Xingbeiguan, and discussed with Bei Chenlong about the situation this time. The situation of the war and the reasons for the outbreak of the war.
The barbarians' attack on Poyan was too sudden this time, and they did not disclose at all. How they quietly moved tens of thousands of troops to Poyan is a question that urgently needs to be answered.
Yunyan left the barracks and went back to Xingbeiguan, it seemed that she had no other place to go except to go back to the Yanyu Building.
Lin Aoxue was going back to Xingbei Pass with the army. Before she left, she went to Yun Yan and asked her if she wanted to go back to Yanyu Tower, but Yun Yan shook her head at her and said softly:
"Aoxue, the end of the year is approaching, I have to go back to the capital."
Hearing this, Lin Aoxue was stunned for a moment, she didn't understand why Yunyan wanted to go to the capital at the end of the year, isn't she from the north?What surprised her even more and didn't understand was that Yunyan was obviously the oiran of Yanyulou, why did she go to the capital?
She remembered what Yunyan had said to her before, that Yunyan was sent to Yanyu Building by her father, did her return to the capital have something to do with her father?
What exactly is Yunyan's identity?
Lin Aoxue has always been curious and confused about Yunyan's identity. An ordinary oiran is never as free and unrestrained and versatile as her, but everyone has their own secrets, and she will not make Yunyan feel embarrassed.
She is just a little bit reluctant. Since more than ten years ago, she has been alone. Now she finally meets a Yunyan who knows her secret and is willing to treat her tenderly. Even though she cannot enjoy this tenderness to herself, she also finds it difficult. let go.
"Then will you still come to the north?"
Lin Aoxue clenched the handle of the gun tightly, pursed her lips, pretending to be unintentional, but asked extremely nervously.
Yun Yan looked at her with a smile, blinked her eyes delicately, moved closer, and asked in a low voice:
"Then you want me to come back?"
Lin Aoxue's face froze, she turned her head and refused to answer.
Yunyan pretended to be disappointed, took two steps back, pretended to wipe away the tears that she didn't have at all, lowered her head and murmured:
"You don't think about me, and you don't want me to come back, so what's the point of me coming back?"
Lin Aoxue gasped for breath, because she tilted her head, so she couldn't see the expression on Yunyan's face, nor did she see the sly smile in the latter's eyes. She held the gun handle tightly and tightly, and her front teeth almost bit her lower lip to bleed Come.
After a while, with her heart clamoring, arguing, and clamoring fiercely, she finally closed her eyes and replied:
"I think, I want you to come back!"
She speaks very fast and does not stutter at critical moments.But her face was ugly, as if she was about to go to the battlefield to fight, and she was forced by Yun Yan to become a prostitute.
Yunyan couldn't hold it back for a while, and laughed out loud, Lin Aoxue realized that she had been tricked again, she was extremely annoyed, desperate to die of shame, she clenched her fists tightly with her teeth gritted, her face was as black as ashes under a boiler .
Seeing Lin Aoxue like this, she knew she was mad at Lin Aoxue, Yun Yan laughed enough to stop her voice, and quickly stepped forward to grab Lin Aoxue's sleeve, and flung it coquettishly:
"In the spring of next year, I will come back and open a pharmacy, what do you think?"
Being pulled by Yun Yan like this, Lin Aoxue immediately forgot her resentment, and became nervous again awkwardly. After Yun Yan finished speaking, she widened her eyes and asked in surprise:
"The pharmacy? What about the Misty Rain Building? Are you going back?"
Yun Yan also stared at her, pretending to be angry and asking:
"Why, Bei Chenlong paid the ransom, you still want me to jump in there again?"
Lin Aoxue straightened her back and shook her head again and again:
"You know I don't mean that."
She was just wondering, if she could leave the Yanyu Tower so easily, why did Yunyan stay there for so long before? She left the Yanyu Tower to go to the barracks earlier, and it can also be said that the deterrent force of the northern barracks is there. Only because of Beichenlong's official prestige did he let go.
But Yunyan wants to open a pharmacy alone, how easy is it?
Lin Aoxue couldn't figure out how Yunyan acted, and she couldn't figure it out, but Yunyan only looked at her and smiled. Lin Aoxue couldn't possibly know the price behind that smile for this willful and selfish decision.
It is not an easy task for a person who is stuck in the quagmire to get out of the rotten quagmire and retreat.
So she is going to the capital to exchange her own value for more freedom and rights.
When the army returned, Yunyan sent Lin Aoxue outside the temporary camp, and watched Lin Aoxue walk back to the army, the smile on her face slowly dissipated.
A carriage approached slowly and stopped firmly behind Yunyan. The door curtain was lifted, and a respectful call came from inside:
"Miss Yun."
Yun Yan took another look at the camp in the distance. Even if she looked far away, she couldn't see the figure she had just sent away.
She turned around and got into the carriage, sighing softly:
"Back to the capital."
The battle situation was initially decided, and Lin Aoxue followed Yang Jin's army back to Xingbei Pass. The senior officials in the pass discussed the attack on Poyan for a whole day. After Bei Chenlong sent a large army to reinforce Poyan that day, he sent another person to check the barbarians. The route of the invasion found that all the outposts on the road had been removed.
The barbarians moved quickly and silently. Obviously, someone sent a message to the barbarians from inside the pass, letting them know the regularity of the guard changing at the outpost, and bought enough time.
Bei Chenlong was furious, and there was an inner ghost in the army. Not only should this matter not be publicized, but it should be suppressed as much as possible, and then secretly investigated.As for how much time it will take, he is not sure at all.
Lin Aoxue showed great power in the battle to recapture Poyan, killed hundreds of enemies, broke open the city gate, and made outstanding achievements. Bei Chenlong finally promoted her to a thousand households. She is also the first in the history of the northern border. Then he was promoted all the way from the corps leader to the soldier of a thousand households.
Since then, Xingbeiguan has been waiting in full force, but the barbarians did not come to invade again until late autumn passed and early winter came. The first snow fell on the land of Xingbeiguan, dyeing everything silvery white, and it also turned the past year on this land. The blood flowing on the ground hides silently.
With winter approaching, the soldiers in the northern border finally had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief. Bei Chenlong also ordered the recruitment of new soldiers as in previous years.
The end of the year was approaching, and an urgent order came from the capital, the emperor asked Bei Chenlong to send military officers above the general level back to Beijing to report on their duties.
The moment Bei Chenlong received the imperial decree, Bei Chenlong's face turned pale, and the war situation at the border would be compiled by the warlord every other month and sent back to the capital.
Obviously, Yang Jin has already submitted all the battles of Xingbei Pass this year. Even if Bei Chenlong won several battles before and finally regained Poyan, he could not cover up the guilt of Poyan's capture and Yong'an's destruction.
The emperor will not ask about the process, he only looks at the final result, and will never make mistakes.
Because of this, Bei Chenlong felt great pressure, and he had to carefully consider the candidates he sent to Beijing this time.
The closer it is to the New Year's Eve, the more worried Bei Chenlong will be. Even in a place as bitter and cold as the Northern Territory, every Chinese New Year is full of joy, but the army remains bleak as always. reverberate.
The weather was getting colder, and the soldiers all put on thicker clothes. Lin Aoxue came down from the school grounds and rubbed her hands with her silver gun. She glanced in the direction of the capital. It had been more than a month since Yunyan left the northern border. up.
She didn't know how Yunyan was doing after going to the capital, and whether she could really return to the north to open a small pharmacy next spring.If it is really possible to live a stable and peaceful life after returning home as Yun Yan imagined, Lin Aoxue also thinks it will be good.
As for herself, she still had a big revenge, and another year has passed in a hurry, and she will be one year older in the coming year.
She doesn't think much about it on weekdays, but sometimes, when the New Year's Eve is approaching, other people's family reunions, even the soldiers in the barracks, some people come from outside the barracks to visit, and she is alone, still Feeling sad for no reason.
She returned to her tent, lit the lamp as usual, opened the book to study the art of war, but Lu Sheng's rough and unrestrained voice sounded outside the door:
"Thousands!"
Lin Aoxue was promoted to a thousand households, and Lu Sheng was also promoted through the battle of Poyan. He ran in with a jug of wine, and sat down on the floor in front of Lin Aoxue, holding the wine jar and Lin Aoxue with a smile:
"I went to the market just now and passed by Fuyun Manor, so I brought back a jar of wine. Anyway, I will have a rest tomorrow, why don't Qianhu have a drink?"
Lin Aoxue put down her book and saw that Lu Sheng had fetched two wine bowls on her own. She carefully noticed that Lu Sheng's eyes were a little red. She thought that when she went to the market just now, she was touched by the New Year's atmosphere in Guanzhong.
She breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on her face, and didn't try to pierce Lu Sheng's small thoughts, just said:
"Okay, fill it up!"
Lu Sheng happily poured wine for Lin Aoxue, the two sat opposite each other and drank, after drinking, Lu Sheng and Lin Aoxue chatted about the past family affairs, he said that he had a wife and a two-year-old daughter , both parents are there, and every Chinese New Year, the family is also lively.
As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and tears soon flowed down his cheeks. The hot tears fell into the wine bowl, making the just-warmed wine dizzy and bitter.
It was supposed to be a happy family, but during the autumn harvest last year, due to the invasion of the barbarians, the homeland was flattened, and all the happiness became shattered, just like... the Yongan Town that was just destroyed this year.
Lin Aoxue said that the wine in the bowl poured down her throat, she was silent, not knowing how to comfort her, she just let out a long sigh and smiled wryly:
"I was just like you 13 years ago."
People who have not experienced it personally will never be able to empathize with it. This kind of knife cut in the heart, even if the wound slowly heals and grows as time goes by, the pain will be doubled every new year.
Lu Sheng was silent for a long time before he shook his head and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp. After the wine was swallowed, he laughed twice again with tears in his eyes, and then suddenly burst into tears .
Men don't flick their tears lightly, and crying like this is even more difficult.
Lin Aoxue patted Lu Sheng on the shoulder, and didn't continue to comfort him. It was better to release her emotions than to hold them in her heart.
That night, Lu Sheng got drunk, Lin Aoxue dragged him back to his place by his collar, threw him on the bed, covered him with a quilt, and went back.
Early the next morning, Bei Chenlong sent messengers to call Lin Aoxue over.
Lin Aoxue drank some wine last night, and she was resting again today, so she woke up a little later. When she heard Bei Chenlong's sudden summons, she got up in a daze and went to Bei Chenlong's camp with the messenger.
Besides Bei Chenlong, there were two other people in the tent, the military governor Yang Jin and the general Guo Wencheng.
When Lin Aoxue came, Bei Chenlong and Yang Jin were discussing matters, and when they heard the messenger outside the tent saying that Lin Aoxue was coming, Bei Chenlong beckoned the guards to let Lin Aoxue in, and after Lin Aoxue saluted, Bei Chenlong said:
"Aoxue, you have been to the capital before!"
Hearing this, Lin Aoxue felt a little inexplicable, why did the good-natured Bei Chenlong suddenly mention the capital?With a calm face, she replied calmly:
"Yes, many years ago, I went to the capital to find relatives but failed, and lived on the streets. If I hadn't met my master by chance, my subordinates might not have survived that winter."
Bei Chenlong nodded:
"Well, what happened in the past few years is embarrassing, but now you are a thousand households, even if you go to the capital again, you will have a good time."
Lin Aoxue suddenly heard Bei Chenlong say this, she was stunned, looked up at Bei Chenlong, and said doubtfully:
"What does the general mean by that?"
Bei Chenlong didn't make a detour, walked over from behind the table and patted Lin Aoxue's shoulder:
"The imperial edict came to ask me to send someone to Beijing to report on my duties. I plan to send Guo Wencheng, and you will accompany me."
Lin Aoxue is the best recruit in the Northern Territory this year, and she has participated in every battle completely. Bei Chenlong intends to train Lin Aoxue. This time, going to Beijing to report on her duties is also an opportunity to perform. In the eyes of the emperor, Lin Aoxue's appearance can represent the lower-level soldiers in the Northern Territory. Her quality, her position is neither high nor low, just right.
After choosing left and right, he decided to let Lin Aoxue go with Guo Wencheng.
After Bei Chenlong finished speaking, Lin Aoxue's expression was rather shocked. After a while, she finally understood, knelt down on one knee, and saluted Bei Chenlong:
"The subordinates will live up to the general's high expectations."
There are so many soldiers in the northern border, and after a lifetime of fighting, few can enter the capital. Of course, Lin Aoxue knew that this was a rare opportunity to enter the capital. Being lenient, you will not be too harsh, and you can get many rewards.
Naturally, Lin Aoxue didn't go for those rewards. If possible, she actually didn't want to go back to the capital right now. The more familiar the place is, the easier it is to show its flaws and be discovered by others.
But she couldn't refuse Bei Chenlong's arrangement, this was an errand that everyone wanted, and if she showed any reluctance, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
Lin Aoxue's reaction undoubtedly satisfied Bei Chenlong. He nodded and smiled, and said another sentence:
"The important place in central Beijing is not as important as our northern border. You can't act recklessly, but remember to listen to General Guo's arrangements, you know?"
"Subordinates respectfully obey the general's instruction!"
Lin Aoxue responded repeatedly, and when she got up, she turned her head to look at Guo Wencheng, who smiled and nodded at her, Lin Aoxue immediately clasped her fists at him:
"Please take care of General Guo."
Bei Chenlong also laughed:
"Well, the end of the year is approaching, pack up your things after you go back, and start as soon as possible, don't miss the time."
Lin Aoxue and Guo Wencheng retreated under orders, leaving only Yang Jin in the tent to discuss matters with Bei Chenlong.
On the way back, Lin Aoxue first went to look for Lu Sheng, who had just woken up. Lin Aoxue told him that she was going out for two days. This time, she went to the capital, and she might not be able to return until years later. There are many things that need to be arranged .
When Lu Sheng heard that Lin Aoxue was going to the capital, he was extremely shocked, but soon, he became happy again, sighing that the capital is a good place, while jumping up and down, he said that he would help Lin Aoxue pack his things, but Lin Aoxue sternly refused.
After Lin Aoxue explained the affairs in the camp, she met several hundred households under her command. She didn't say what she was going to do, but said that she had a mission for the past two months. A few hundred households supervise and urge the soldiers to practice well, and they must not slack off.
After arranging everything, Lin Aoxue returned to her tent, prepared two sets of clothes for washing, brought some dry food, and there was only one gun left, nothing else.
There was nothing to say all night, and in the early morning of the second day, Lin Aoxue waited at the gate of the camp half an hour earlier. After a cup of tea, Guo Wencheng also arrived earlier. in rush.
The capital city is located in the south of the Beichen Kingdom, and it takes more than half of the Beichen Kingdom to get from the northern border to the capital. Lin Aoxue and her two raced fast and ran for more than 20 days, and finally arrived at the capital before the New Year's Eve.
Lin Aoxue looked at the increasingly clear city gate in the distance with deep eyes.
She hasn't come back to this place for ten years. Ten years can change a lot of things. Those who died and what happened have gradually faded from the memory of others, and few people mention it anymore.
Lin Aoxue didn't know what the original Zhenguo General's Mansion looked like now, and she didn't want to know.This time returning to Beijing was all accidental, and she would not be distracted by other things. The right way was to complete the tasks arranged by Bei Chenlong with peace of mind, and then return to the northern border, and continue to hide her strength and bide her time.
Approaching the magnificent city gate of the capital, Lin Aoxue suddenly flashed clouds and smoke in her mind, the corners of her lips pursed, and a faint smile appeared on her face.Yunyan is also in the capital, although Lin Aoxue understands that it is impossible for them to meet by chance in the huge capital, but having this fate to celebrate the New Year together in the capital is also considered a happy thing.
Horses were not allowed in Beijing, so Lin Aoxue and Guo Wencheng reined in in front of the city gate, jumped off their horses, checked their identities at the guards outside the city gate, and then were allowed to lead the horse into the city.
Lin Aoxue followed Guo Wencheng into the gate of the city, and she saw a wide and flat street. The roads in the middle of the capital extend in all directions, and there are many shops and pavilions, which are extremely prosperous.
Those small stalls that can be seen everywhere in the northern market are not allowed to be placed in Beijing, and they are all grouped in a corner of the city.
Lin Aoxue walked on the streets of the capital, and at the same time looked around. She hadn't returned for ten years, and there was basically no change in the capital, except that the shops opened new businesses, or the restaurants and teahouses changed to other owners.
"You've been to the capital before, but you haven't been to these places, have you?"
Seeing Lin Aoxue looking around, Guo Wencheng couldn't help asking with a smile, as if he was sighing.
Lin Aoxue knew that he didn't have any malicious intentions, she was just explaining the fact that beggars are not allowed to beg in the main streets of the city.In order to ensure the cleanliness of the city, peddlers and beggars were driven away and could not stay here.
So he said that Lin Aoxue should have never been here before, and he didn't mean to ridicule.
Lin Aoxue nodded generously and admitted:
"At that time, I only dared to beg near the market in the west, and I had never been to these places."
Guo Wencheng laughed:
"Then after the face saint, you can go out for a stroll. There are many interesting things in the capital."
Lin Aoxue replied yes, and chatted with Guo Wencheng for a few more words.
Guo Wencheng's father was a civil servant of the third grade and owned a family business in central Beijing. Although Guo Wencheng had been guarding the border for many years, he grew up in Beijing when he was a child, so he was quite familiar with the capital.He went against the official career path arranged by his father and insisted on following his best friend Yang Jin to the border. It has been 11 years since he left Beijing.
When he returned to Beijing this time, his mood was also very complicated. He didn't know whether he would be kicked out by his old father directly after returning to the Guo Mansion.
Lin Aoxue and Guo Wencheng felt sorry for each other, but they were speechless for a moment.The two walked forward for a while, and after a corner, there was the inn.
Guo Wencheng led Lin Aoxue towards the inn, and Xiaoer, who was soliciting customers outside the inn, quickly stepped forward to take the reins from the two of them. They were about to enter the door, when suddenly there was a loud noise from the street, Lin Aoxue stopped and turned around. He turned his head in the direction of the sound.
There was a carriage speeding on the street, the horses seemed to be frightened and out of control, running extremely fast, the servants driving the carriage turned pale with fright, and pedestrians on both sides of the road gave way in panic.
When the fast-moving carriage was about to pass by the place where Lin Aoxue was standing, the wheel was crushed by a stone on the ground, the body trembled, and the wheel on one side was lifted.
There was a terrified scream from inside the car. The servant sitting in front of the car failed to hold on to the shaft and was thrown from the car by a huge force. He fell to the ground and rolled several times, bleeding all over the ground. It is dead or alive.
The out-of-control carriage continued to speed forward, but it had completely deviated from its original direction, one wheel was hanging in the air, and it was rushing towards Lin Aoxue!
Lin Aoxue frowned, she was standing on the edge of the street, with the inn beside her, she could dodge sideways, but the carriage would definitely crash into the gate of the inn, hurting the passers-by beside her, and even the guests in the inn .
Guo Wencheng had already been attracted by this movement. Seeing the carriage rushing towards Lin Aoxue, Guo Wencheng's complexion changed drastically, and he shouted loudly:
"Danger!"
He subconsciously reminded Lin Aoxue to avoid it, and when Lin Aoxue sensed the direction of the carriage, she also sighed in her heart. Her gaze was fixed, her toes lightly tapped the ground, and she jumped up, advancing instead of retreating. Guo Wencheng was shocked. In his eyes, he rushed towards the carriage.
She jumped onto the shaft of the carriage, grasped the fast-swinging rein with quick eyes and hands, stepped hard on the side of the wheel, and pushed the raised wheel back to the ground. At the same time, she pulled the rein with both hands to force the mad horse to turn.
The bumpy carriage passed by like lightning in front of the inn, and the waiter, who was too late to retreat in the future, was so frightened that he slumped on the ground.
After Lin Aoxue led the horse to the right path, she simply jumped onto the horse's back, clamped the horse's belly tightly, pulled the reins, controlled the horse's running speed, and slowly stopped the frightened horse with extremely superb skills.
"What a handsome kung fu!"
As soon as the carriage stopped, someone gave a loud admiration, and the people on both sides of the street applauded one after another. For a moment, the whole street was thunderous with cheers, and the scene was quite spectacular.
Guo Wencheng was awakened by the cheers, and he asked Xiaoer to see how the coachman who fell off the carriage just now was doing, and then walked towards Lin Aoxue quickly:
"Lin Qianhu!"
Guo Wencheng yelled, and when she got closer, Lin Aoxue had already rolled off the horse and landed on the ground, and turned her head to gently stroke the horse's neck to express comfort.The red-brown horse snorted and kicked and kicked in place, looking a lot more docile.
"Okay, you are really amazing!"
Seeing that Lin Aoxue was unharmed, Guo Wencheng gave a thumbs up in admiration.
"Let's go, it's alright."
Lin Aoxue let go of the reins, turned around and thanked the neighbors for their compliments, and prepared to go back to the inn with Guo Wencheng.
But she didn't take two steps, and suddenly there was a soft drink from behind:
"Wait a minute!"
Lin Aoxue stopped again, turned around and looked towards the carriage, and saw that the curtain of the carriage was raised, revealing the figures of two women, one of them was a woman in a palace dress with a beautiful face, and her two eyes were very light-colored, as if shining from the sun. come out from inside.
There was still a flustered expression in her eyes, and the other party had lingering fears about the accident she had just experienced, but in front of outsiders, she still forced herself to be calm in order to show her noble identity and virtuous character.
The maid beside her lifted the door curtain of the carriage for her, and the woman leaned forward slightly, looking at Lin Aoxue:
"Thank you for your help. I don't know if you can leave your name, this county... I will definitely send someone to thank you in the future."
With a cold face, Lin Aoxue cast a sideways glance at the woman, and said:
"You don't need to say thank you for your effort."
After saying that, she turned around and left. Seeing her indifferent attitude, Guo Wencheng didn't want to stay longer, so he hugged the girl in the carriage, turned around and rushed to Lin Aoxue's side, and walked into the inn together with her.
The people in the carriage obviously did not expect Lin Aoxue's attitude to be so indifferent, she froze for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, Lin Aoxue and Guo Wencheng had gone away.The maid beside her also widened her eyes, looked at Lin Aoxue's back like a ghost, and murmured:
"Wow, princess, this person is too courageous."
Bei Chenling withdrew her gaze, thoughtful, and did not express her opinion on the maidservant's words of praise.
The boy who fell off the carriage just now broke his head and bled all over the place. Fortunately, he happened to have a medical clinic next to him. Big problem.
The boy got up and thanked the doctor, left the money, then ran back to the carriage with the wound on his head, and confessed to the master in the carriage.
Bei Chenling saw that he fell miserably, was covered in ashes, and the gauze that had just wrapped his head was still soaked in blood, so he didn't criticize him harshly. He only asked the doctor in the mansion to prescribe some medicine for him after returning home, and then signaled to the maidservant Help yourself out of the car.
Today she sneaked out without an attendant, she didn't dare to sit in this carriage anymore, this place is not too far from the palace, so she walked two steps back.
The servant led the carriage and followed them. Bei Chenling took a few steps, and the panic in her heart gradually dissipated. Only then did she recall the person who had saved her just now, a strange man wearing half a mask.
She turned to the maid beside her and asked:
"Yun'er, what did the gray-clothed gentleman call the black-clothed gentleman just now?"
The two of them didn't leave their names, so it's really not easy to call them.
Yun'er heard the words, tried hard to think back, and answered with some uncertainty:
"It seems to be 'Lin Qianhu'."
The situation was urgent just now, who cares about these other things.
Bei Chenling let out a "huh" and said nothing.
On the other side, Lin Aoxue and Guo Wencheng walked back to the inn side by side, the waiter kept thanking Lin Aoxue, if Lin Aoxue hadn't shown his skills just now, he would definitely be the first person to be hit by the carriage.
How could he bear such a carriage rushing towards him, and he would have to lie in bed for several months if he didn't want to die.
Lin Aoxue was expressionless from the beginning to the end, and there was even a faint evil spirit on her body. After dismissing the waiter in the shop, she asked the shopkeeper to open two upper rooms. Lin Aoxue and Guo Wencheng said that they were a little tired, so they went back to their own. Room.
Guo Wencheng was already used to Lian Aoxue's fierce look, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He was already tired from the long journey, and after what happened just now, it's normal to feel tired and tired, so he didn't leave Lin Aoxue out for dinner. Said to ask Xiaoer to deliver the food to her later.
Lin Aoxue went back to the room, closed the door, put her back against the door panel, held the mask on her face with one hand, clenched her fist with the other, her eyes seemed to be covered with frost, revealing an undisguised killing spree. hatred and hatred.
"Oh... what a coincidence."
She didn't expect that she ran into Bei Chenling just after returning to the capital.She couldn't guarantee that if she walked a little later, she would be so angry that she would break the woman's neck on the spot.
Bei Chenling, the Princess of the Zongqin Prince's Mansion, is the jewel in the palm of Zongqin Wang Beichenhe.
Also... 13 years ago, I gave her a barbarian document that I didn't know where to hide in the inkstone, and asked her to take it home. Later, people sent by the emperor searched the document from the dark layer of the inkstone, so Convicted her father and ransacked her house.
When she was young and ignorant, she was used by others, and she once regarded this girl as her closest friend.
Lin Aoxue clasped her chest with her backhand, and bursts of piercing pain rolled over her heart, causing her to arch her body involuntarily. After a while, she gradually recovered, but her face was completely pale, and her back was wet with cold sweat one slice.
After that incident, she hasn't seen Bei Chenling for 13 years. Bei Chenling has changed a lot. She has lost her childish innocence and become mature and graceful. A strong arm.
Although she has changed a lot, and she can no longer see her childhood appearance, Lin Aoxue can still recognize her eyes even if they are reduced to ashes.
Lin Aoxue panted hard, expelled the stuffy air that was stuck in her chest, and then laughed at herself, regretting why she had to rescue her just now, and let the carriage crash into the door of the inn, it would be great.
She walked to the bed in two steps, lay down with all her clothes on, stretched out her hand and tore off the quilt, and covered her head with the quilt, she planned to have a good sleep and calm down.
When Lin Aoxue fell asleep, she dreamed of the scene when she visited the clan's prince's mansion when she was young and recited poems with Bei Chenling.
It was supposed to be a peaceful scene, but suddenly the surrounding scene changed, Bei Chenling stood in the sea of flames, stabbing Lin Aoxue's heart with a sharp dagger in her hand, but tears were streaming down her face, her lips opened and closed unknowingly said something.
Lin Aoxue woke up suddenly, someone knocked on the door, and there was a clear knocking sound.
She wiped the cold sweat off her forehead, feeling that she would be better off not sleeping this time. Although most of what she saw in the dream was forgotten after waking up, the feeling of exhaustion remained on her body, making her limbs weak and weak , very uncomfortable.
She struggled for a while, sat up from the bed, then got out of bed, went to open the door, the waiter came over with food, Lin Aoxue asked him to put it on the table, then went out to fetch water, and cleaned up a bit, Just sat down to eat.
After dinner, it was still early in the day, Lin Aoxue knocked on the door of Guo Wencheng's room, and found that he was not in the room after going out, so Lin Aoxue left the inn on her own, intending to take a stroll nearby.
She paced slowly along the street, because the end of the year was approaching, the capital city was at the foot of the emperor, and there were lights and festoons everywhere, very beautifully decorated.
Lin Aoxue was walking, and was about to cross a street, but suddenly heard a melodious qin sound coming from a distance. The melodious qin music seemed familiar, and it passed through the long street with people coming and going, and got into Lin Aoxue's ears.
She froze for a moment, then subconsciously turned her head to look, only to see a pavilion standing in the depths of the long street, with exquisite and elegant decoration, majestic and majestic.
In the open space in front of the building, many romantic and talented scholars gathered, admiring poems and paintings with each other.In the middle of the attic, there is a qin platform slanted outward on the second floor, and a woman plays the qin on the platform, with a soft rhythm and a moving temperament.
Lin Aoxue was far away, so she couldn't see the appearance of the person on the stage clearly. She hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards the small building.
The entrance of the street is not far from the small building, about a hundred steps, when she approached, the sound of the qin had stopped, and the person playing the qin just now also left the qin platform, and there was only one guqin left on the qin platform, which looked particularly desolate.
Her gaze was lowered a bit, and she saw a plaque hanging on the door beam of the entrance to the house on the first floor, which read:
Misty Rain Building.
The author has something to say: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha"
