The general said she doesn't take a wife
Chapter 65 Military Order
Lin Aoxue read this short letter over and over again, her heart ached, her throat choked up, she couldn't speak, but she couldn't hold back her tears in the end.
A line of warm tears gushed out of her eyes, slid down her cheeks, sank into the soil under her feet, and soon disappeared.Her nose was astringent, and the uncontrollable pain rolled in her heart, making her red eye sockets reveal her fragility without any cover.But she quickly covered her face with her cuffs, hiding the broken and noisy pain at that moment.
Yingsi was by the side, watching the tears fall from the corners of Lin Aoxue's eyes, both shocked and moved.
Men don’t cry when they cry, in the eyes of Yingsi, Lin Aoxue is a man of indomitable spirit, she has military talents, and she is unparalleled in bravery. Once on the battlefield, she can take the head of an enemy general among thousands of troops, and she can win the championship In a fit of anger, he privately mobilized soldiers and horses for Yunyan to break out of Xingbeiguan, with a magnificent momentum that is second to none in the world.
But it was such an upright person who shed tears fragilely the moment he saw Yunyan's handwriting.
He saw everything that Yunyan did for Lin Aoxue. He thought that Lin Aoxue was not worthy of Yunyan's attention at all. Lin Aoxue was in the army, and when he was busy, he didn't even bother to go to the hospital to see Yunyan. Compared with Yunyan's treatment of Lin Aoxue Lin Aoxue's tenderness and affection can be described as ruthless and ungrateful.
However, at this moment, that tear washed away all the dissatisfaction and blame towards Lin Aoxue in his heart, so it turned out that such a iron-blooded man would cry.
He lowered his head silently, tried his best to look away, and stopped looking at Lin Aoxue.
Lin Aoxue tried her best to calm the turbulent emotions in her heart. When she put down her sleeves, the expression on her face had returned to normal.She folded the letter and put it back into the wooden box, then took out the two jade pendants, put the golden key on her body into the wooden box, closed the box lid, and handed it to Yingsi :
"You lock this thing up again and bury it on the spot."
Shadow Si is one of the shadow guards, Yunyan handed over the shadow guard transfer order to Lin Aoxue, and that shadow guard also obeyed Lin Aoxue's orders, if there was a little reluctance in his heart before, now those slight grievances have disappeared.
He took the wooden box from Lin Aoxue, and locked the mechanism lock on the wooden box in a different way than before. After confirming that it was correct, he re-buried the box on the spot.
In order to prevent people from identifying the difference between the new mud and the old soil, he also found some withered grass and fallen leaves, and spread a layer on the roots of the trees, completely covering up the traces left after the digging.
After everything was done, Lin Aoxue hammered her head and asked him:
"What do you plan to do next?"
While cleaning up the traces under the tree, Yingsi replied:
"As a shadow guard, I naturally have to perform the duties of a shadow guard. Miss Yun asked me to be loyal to you, and I will be at your command, join the army with you, and be ready for orders at any time."
Lin Aoxue frowned, and glanced at the knife wound on Yingsi's waist:
"But you still have injuries."
Yingsi's brows and eyes slanted, and the look in his eyes was cold:
"It's just a small injury, nothing serious."
He felt that Lin Aoxue was questioning his ability.
Lin Aoxue blinked, seeing Yingsi persisted, as if if she said one more word, this person would fight her to prove that he still had strength.Since Yingsi insisted, she couldn't say anything more, so she sighed helplessly and said:
"Follow if you want, but act carefully, and be careful not to let the wound worsen. It's best to get well sooner, so as not to cause trouble."
Lin Aoxue understood Yingsi's temperament a little bit, so she also changed her wording to another way that Yingsi could accept.
Yingsi snorted coldly and didn't answer, but Lin Aoxue knew he had listened.
Lin Aoxue let out a foul breath, and said again:
"Let's go, lead the way, get out of here, and go back to the barracks."
This forest is arranged according to the rules in Qimen Dunjia, Lin Aoxue doesn't know much about it, if you just walk in any direction, you will probably get lost.
Ying Si didn't hesitate, turned around and left, with windy steps under her feet, Lin Aoxue felt a little funny in her heart, this Ying Si looked calm and stable, but it seemed extraordinarily naive in these small places.
It was late at night when she returned to the barracks, and the guards stationed outside the tent were so sleepy that although they stood at the door, they shook their heads with the guns in their hands, and might fall asleep at any time.
Lin Aoxue came out from the darkness, walked carefully between the two guards, returned to her tent, lay down on the bed with her clothes on, and began to think again.
She got too much information today, about the barbarians, about Beichen, and even about Yunyan.
Yunyan is indeed a formidable woman. Under Bei Chenhe's nose, she can cultivate her own cronies, and there are as many as 11 of them, all of whom are good hands.Now, she has handed all of this, the power she has cultivated with all her efforts, into Lin Aoxue's hands without reservation.
This is not only a huge force, but also Yunyan's unreserved trust in Lin Aoxue and her fiery sincerity.
Its heaviness was enough to make Lin Aoxue's brains go crazy, and she gave all her affection for it.
Feeling a little dizzy from the forehead, she has been running around for several days, leading troops back from the Central Plains battlefield, galloping thousands of miles to aid Yiping, and then sending troops to Xingbei Pass to regain the lost ground, and then led the troops to chase out of the pass, and at night, they fought with Xuan He again, After getting what Yunyan handed over from the studio, she was already exhausted and exhausted.
What's more, when she was outside the customs, because of Yunyan being captured and she was impotent, she was rushed and suffered internal trauma. At this moment, her mind was slightly relaxed, and she became sleepy and unbearable.
She closed her eyes, pressed her forehead, and took a light sleep for a while. No matter how many things she had to do, she should take time to rest for a while, otherwise, once her body was exhausted, she would have no money to save Yunyan.
Lin Aoxue closed her eyes, her consciousness was in a daze, and it didn't take long for the sky outside to light up.
The sound of the horn in the morning woke her up. She turned over and sat up, shook her head vigorously, and immediately got up and splashed cold water on her face to wake herself up faster. Today is the seventeenth day of this month, and there is no fighting in the camp. In the future, she will go to Fuyun Village to contact the son of her father's old department.
But before that, there should be some important things to deal with.
As soon as she washed her face, a messenger came outside the tent, and Pei Qing invited her to discuss matters in the tent.
Lin Aoxue didn't stay in the house for too long, after she packed her clothes, she went to see Pei Qing.
Pei Qing waited for her to come and asked her to sit down, then said to her:
"Yesterday evening, I sent messengers to Yiping to report the battle situation at Xingbei Pass to the general. The military order has arrived this morning. The general said that he is not feeling well and needs to stay in Yiping for a while to recuperate. He sent the two of us." Continue to garrison Xingbeiguan to prevent the barbarians from coming again."
Lin Aoxue nodded, remembering what happened when she led troops out of the city yesterday, so she asked:
"Regarding the matter of my privately sending troops to chase after the barbarian team yesterday, does the general say how to deal with it?"
Hearing this, Pei Qing showed a smile on his face, shook his head lightly, and said:
"General Lin Pian doesn't need to worry. I talked with the general about this matter. After we discussed it, we sent troops to pursue it. As for the detailed matters outside the pass, the general didn't ask in detail. It should be safe in a short time."
Lin Aoxue never thought that Pei Qing would reply her like this, she opened her mouth in astonishment, and it took a while to realize that Pei Qing had suppressed the matter for her.
If there is no accident, Bei Chenlong will have the energy to pursue the matter after his injury recovers, but when Bei Chenlong recovers from his injury, we don't know how long it will be. Today's battle did not produce any bad results, and there will inevitably be some side changes in the middle of the time. Beichenlong Whether it will be pursued is also uncertain.
Pei Qing abused her personal power and played a cover for Lin Aoxue.
Lin Aoxue was extremely shocked, she stood up suddenly, and bowed respectfully to Pei Qing:
"General Pei's kindness, I will remember it in my heart."
Pei Qing waved his hands, quickly stepped forward to help her up, and said with a smile:
"General Lin Pian doesn't need to be like this. You and I are both generals of Beichen, so we should protect and support each other. Now that the barbarians are around outside the pass, and the country is in chaos and turmoil, under such circumstances, among our army, we really shouldn't If there are more civil strife, the generals of the Chinese army will be damaged for nothing.”
Lin Aoxue was quite moved by Pei Qing's righteousness, she sighed in her heart, if all the generals in Beichen Army were like Pei Qing, there would be fewer fights in Xing Beiguan.Yang Jin and Guo Wencheng, who were killed by Bei Chenlong, were also such good generals, but these two lacked Pei Qing's courage to judge the situation and be able to bend and stretch, and died for no reason before their wings were full.
Lin Aoxue felt emotional in her heart, so she discussed with Pei Qing about the garrison arrangement in Guanzhong in Xingbei, without any thanks.
It was almost noon after she came out of Pei Qing's tent, Lin Aoxue went to the school grounds to supervise the soldiers' drills, since she was promoted to a county lieutenant, she seldom supervised the soldiers' training in person, there are always too many things to keep busy on weekdays Right now, if she wants to send troops outside the customs, she can't be in a hurry. She has a rare moment of free time, so she comes to the school grounds to have a look.
The soldiers on the school ground were shouting loudly during the drill, Lin Aoxue approached the school ground, and suddenly thought of going to see how Lu Sheng was doing in the army recently.
Lu Sheng has been fighting with Lin Aoxue since two years ago. Although he is not as brave as Lin Aoxue, he still has outstanding military exploits. He survived the battlefield and accumulated a lot of military achievements. He has now been promoted to a thousand households. Have a certain reputation in the army.
At that time, Xu He, who often followed Lu Sheng and saddled Lin Aoxue, also sat in the position of a hundred households from an ordinary pawn. His official position was not high, but their promotion speed was extremely fast among the whole army.
When Lin Aoxue came, Lu Sheng was supervising the drills of the soldiers on the school field, talking to his soldiers about the usage of weapons and how to kill the enemy faster and protect himself on the battlefield.After he became a thousand households, he gradually used his time to study the way of forming troops, and his own martial arts also increased year by year, and his progress was rapid.
Lin Aoxue looked at it from a distance, and suddenly picked up a stone with her toe, and flicked it towards Lu Sheng with two fingers.
Lu Sheng, who was talking to his soldiers in detail, suddenly moved his ears, and was keenly aware of the subtle sound of the stone piercing through the air. He turned the simple knife in his hand, pointed it vertically behind him, and smashed the flying knife with the face of the knife. The shot stone bounced off, leaving only a small white mark on the dark silver body of Pu Dao.
The soldiers under his command clapped their hands and applauded in an uproar.
Lu Sheng looked back, but seeing Lin Aoxue smiling with satisfaction and nodding towards him, Lu Sheng was overjoyed, turned his head and scolded, telling the soldiers to stop making noise and practice hard, then he quickly walked towards Lin Aoxue and cupped his hands Said "Pian Jiang".
With a smile in her eyes, Lin Aoxue praised with relief:
"Not bad, not bad, even in the army, I haven't let down my vigilance, and I can be alone."
Lu Sheng was praised by Lin Aoxue, but his face showed a bit of embarrassment. He smiled and touched the back of his head, and said:
"Thanks to the general's cultivation, Lu Sheng's success today is definitely inseparable from the kindness of the general."
Without Lin Aoxue, let alone become a thousand households, it is still unknown whether he would have survived the first few battles when he first entered the barracks.Although his great hatred has not yet been avenged, he is no longer the cowardly person who was emptied of his thoughts by hatred, and indeed, as Lin Aoxue said, he can be alone.
Lin Aoxue heard Lu Sheng's words, but said with a smile:
"What others can help you is limited after all. Your achievements like this are mostly due to your own efforts. Remember to guard against arrogance and impetuosity. Go ahead and keep practicing."
Lu Sheng always cared about what Lin Aoxue said, and when Lin Aoxue said it, he said obediently:
"Yes, my subordinates remember it."
After Lu Sheng turned around and returned to the front of the formation, and continued to instruct the soldiers to practice, Lin Aoxue walked around the school field again, and suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Bei Chenji for a long time, she frowned slightly, guessing that Bei Chenji might follow Bei Chenlong went to Yiping together, so he stopped paying attention, then left the barracks and went to Fuyun Village.
After she came to Fuyunzhuang, she found the wine table mentioned in the letter Yunyan left her, ordered a jug of wine, and waited by the window for herself.
From the window of this wine table, one can see the closed door of Yanxue Medical Hall.
There are still not many pedestrians on the street, and the business in Fuyunzhuang is not as prosperous as usual. There are a few drinkers sitting in the hall, which is less than [-]% of the heyday.The impact of the war on Xingbeiguan is obvious. Even the people living in Xingbeiguan all year round cannot return to their normal state soon after encountering the danger of Xingbeiguan breaking down the city.
Lin Aoxue sighed softly, every war will bring countless pains, and also destroy many things, feelings, money, all of which will be burned.
She put the sapphire obtained from Yunyan on her waist, and sat at the table, having a drink from time to time, she didn't appear to be in a hurry, nor did she look like she was waiting for someone.
About half an hour later, a person came up from the stairs, crossed the hall and stood behind Lin Aoxue, raising his hand to press her shoulder.
Lin Aoxue fought back and pinched the man's wrist, not allowing him to get any closer.
As early as this person walked up the stairs, Lin Aoxue heard the sound of footsteps coming from the steps. The footsteps of martial arts practitioners were completely different from the footsteps of ordinary drinkers. Lin Aoxue was surprised.
This person walking behind her confirmed Lin Aoxue's guess.
But when she turned her head, she was still shocked by what she saw.
She never expected that the person standing behind her was Pei Qing.
Pei Qing wore plain white clothes for this trip, he looked less like a general, but more refined. He had a gentle expression, and even though Lin Aoxue grabbed his wrist, he didn't feel annoyed at all. Instead, she smiled and nodded towards Lin Aoxue, winking and jokingly said:
"There are so many affairs in the army, General Lin Pian unexpectedly came out to drink in his busy schedule. I caught him this time. Be careful, I will report this matter to make you suffer."
Lin Aoxue's mind was in a mess, and she couldn't distinguish the current situation. When she saw that it was Pei Qing, she immediately lost her words, and even the manuscript she had typed earlier was useless.
"General Pei also came to Fuyunzhuang to drink?"
She was a little uncertain whether Pei Qing was passing by unintentionally, or if he really came to meet her.
Just when she was puzzled, Pei Qing sat down on the other side of the wine table, took the wine glass and jug without any notice, poured himself a glass of wine, and said with a smile:
"Yes, today I heard that Xingbei's Jade Ware released a new artifact. It is said to be made of Yuezhou's sapphire, but it is a good treasure. Will Lin Pianjiang be interested in seeing it?"
Lin Aoxue's ears twitched, and the words "Yuezhou Qingyu" attracted her attention, because the sapphire used as a keepsake was also made of Yuezhou sapphire.Because of this, Lin Aoxue immediately understood Pei Qing's identity, and Pei Qing really came to meet her.
She felt absurd and fortunate, and at the same time, she still had a sense of understanding that Pei Qing, who had been taking good care of her in the army, was actually the informant who contacted Yunyan from her father's old department. As well as the magnanimity of handing over 20 soldiers and horses to Lin Aoxue for no reason earlier, there are reasonable explanations.
Lin Aoxue put down the wine glass in her hand, and with a smile on her face, she replied:
"Since it is General Pei's invitation, Lin Aoxue should naturally accompany her."
Pei Qing laughed, turned around and called the waiter from the villa, ordered some appetizers, chatted with Lin Aoxue while eating.
"General Pei and senior Qin Nan'an are old?"
During the dinner, Lin Aoxue lowered her head and asked in a voice that only the two people at the table could hear.
Qin Nan'an is Lin Aoxue's father's old department, and is a senior with the same seniority as Sui Liang. Yun Yan's letter to Lin Aoxue said that the person who joined him was Qin Nan'an's son, but the person who appeared in front of Lin Aoxue was Pei Qing. Lin Aoxue naturally felt suspicious. Is it possible that Qin Nan'an's son, like Yun Yan, was unable to attend the meeting in person for some reason, so he used the hands of others to complete the meeting.
Pei Qing raised his head and glanced at Lin Aoxue, the corners of his lips curled up, revealing a hearty smile, and also lowered his voice, and replied:
"Qin Nan'an is my father."
Lin Aoxue stared, rather shocked.
Knowing what she was wondering about, Pei Qing said:
"Back then when something happened to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, the Qin family was also secretly targeted. My father was worried that I would be implicated, so he adopted me to an ordinary farm family as an adopted son, and at the same time changed my name. It is the name I have now. His original surname was Qin, and his last name was Yueqing."
After hearing Pei Qing's explanation, Lin Aoxue suddenly understood, no wonder Pei Qing changed her surname to Pei instead of following her father's surname Qin.
After Pei Qing explained this sentence, there was another smile in his eyes, he looked at Lin Aoxue and said:
"I originally thought that Lin Pianjiang and Miss Yun just had a good relationship, but I didn't expect it to be so good. No wonder Lin Pianjiang became so angry yesterday that he became a beauty."
Lin Aoxue showed a look of embarrassment, how could she know that the person who came would be Pei Qing, so that she seemed to have all the handles in this person's hands.She shook her head helplessly, and said with a wry smile:
"General Pei will stop laughing at me."
The smile on Pei Qing's face remained undiminished, and he took another two mouthfuls of side dishes, then he calmed down and said:
"About our meeting, how much did Miss Yun tell you?"
Lin Aoxue paused for a moment with the chopsticks in her hand, then continued to pick up the vegetables with the chopsticks and put them in the bowl:
"Yan'er only left me a letter, asking me to take the jade pendant to join Qin Nan'an's son, and didn't say anything else."
Now that Pei Qing knew about the close relationship between Lin Aoxue and Yunyan, Lin Aoxue didn't deliberately hide anything, and called Yunyan "Yan'er" openly.Pei Qing didn't take it seriously either. Hearing Lin Aoxue's answer, he pondered for a moment and asked again:
"Then do you know the golden key?"
Lin Aoxue nodded, but a trace of doubt floated in her heart, since Yunyan had already made arrangements, why did she feel that Pei Qing didn't know that she had another golden key.Lin Aoxue blinked, but still didn't tell the fact that the second golden key was in her hands.
She lowered her head and thought for a while, then suddenly realized.
Thinking about coming to Yunyan, she had her own considerations. It wasn't that she didn't have the opportunity to tell Pei Qing about it, but because she didn't want to expose Lin Aoxue's identity. The process of Lin Aoxue obtaining the golden key was extremely secretive, and it was easy for people to doubt her true identity. Pei Qing is the son of Lin Aoxue's former subordinate, just to be on the safe side, Yun Yan did not mention this matter to Pei Qing.
The deeper she understood Yunyan, the more painful Lin Aoxue's heart became, and the softer and more moved she was.
Yun Yan is as meticulous as a hair, and she paves the way for her seriously and caringly. She is such a timid and cowardly person. Facing the hot and fiery sincerity, she thinks about how to protect herself and how to escape. She also selfishly said that she wanted Yunyan to wait until she finished avenging her family.
Her heart seemed to be blocked by a ball of cotton, and her breath was entangled with countless threads of unreasonable sorrow.
Even though she was so ungrateful and ungrateful, Yun Yan was as gentle as ever. This friendship made her ashamed, like a needle piercing her heart. The cold and sharp feeling was accompanied by the sour and unspeakable longing in her chest, which made her eyes roll involuntarily. redness.
If she can bring Yan'er back this time, then they will get married.
She no longer wants that hatred to restrict their pace, and because she doesn't know when accidents and misfortunes will happen, she should cherish those who are still around.
She suddenly wanted to settle down and give Yunyan a hug where she could see hope. At least, even though her body was like duckweed, she wanted to give them a home with peace of mind.
Thinking of this, she suddenly smiled, as if she had unloaded the burden that made her exhausted, and when Pei Qing looked up, she said:
"Yan'er once told me that there are three golden keys in the world. They were prepared by the Duke of Zhen in case of personal accident, and they were handed over to someone close to him to take care of them. One is in her hands, and the other two are in the hands of the former Duke of Zhen. But I don't know, what important secret is hidden behind this golden key?"
Picking up the wine glass, Pei Qing took a sip, remained silent for a moment, as if deliberating his words, and then replied:
"It seems that Miss Yun trusts Lin Pianjiang very much. In this case, I will not treat you as an outsider. Let me tell you directly. Originally, these three keys were a secret move prepared by Lord Zhen Guo to prevent accidents. Unexpectedly, the emperor The attack was too fast, and the Zhen Guogong was unable to defend against it. In one night, more than 100 people in the general's mansion were all stabbed to death, and the Zhen Guogong's mansion was burned to the ground, leaving no clues."
"After this incident, the emperor secretly ordered to check the number of charred corpses in the mansion of the Duke of Zhen, and confirmed that there was no one alive in the mansion. After the accident in the mansion of the Duke of Zhen, my father and two other close friends left the Duke of Zhen at the same time. However, in fact, they all felt that the incident in the Zhenguo Mansion was too strange, so they turned from the light to the dark and investigated the truth of the incident in the Zhenguo Mansion."
"In order to avoid the limelight, they all resigned from office and went back to seclusion. They cut off contact with each other, and agreed to use the golden key given to them by the Zhenguo bus as a token. Every three years, they would send their trusted people to be in the middle of the summer by Zhanyang Lake in Beijing. Gathering in the Canary Tower, next year will be another third year."
"Because it has been more than ten years since the original incident, Beijing and China have not been so closely watched. Since the last meeting, the three parties who have the golden key still have some connections with each other. However, there have been many changes this year. Miss Yun told I, Senior Sui Ling who had another golden key in my hand was captured alive by Prince Zong, the current situation is unknown, and the golden key has disappeared, as for the other party, there has been no movement yet."
While Pei Qing was talking, he was paying attention to the changes around him. His voice was kept very low to ensure that it would not be heard. Lin Aoxue listened intently. This part, Yun Yan had also roughly talked to her before, although she did not Pei Qing spoke in such detail, but she also knew the general idea.
There was a look of doubt in her eyes, she turned her head and asked:
"Since that's the case, why did this golden key fall into Yan'er's hands? You have been secretly investigating for more than ten years, and have you gained anything?"
Hearing this, Pei Qing smiled casually:
"Don't be in a hurry, Lin Pianjiang. This matter is a long story, just let me tell you in detail."
He paused, sorted out his thoughts, and then continued:
"My father and his three friends secretly investigated the change of the Zhen Guo Gongfu. In the process, they discovered that another force was also investigating the original incident. Do you know where this group of people came from?"
Pei Qing made a fool of herself on purpose, Lin Aoxue frowned slightly, showing doubts:
"where?"
Pei Qing glanced around and let Lin Aoxue listen to her.
Lin Aoxue's eyes became more suspicious, she leaned forward, and when she got closer, she heard Pei Qing whispering in her ear:
"It's from the clan prince's mansion."
Lin Aoxue was startled when she heard the words, a green bean she had just picked up in her hand fell back onto the plate, the shock on her face could not be concealed, but when Pei Qing tapped the table lightly, Lin Aoxue suddenly came back to her senses, the expression in her eyes The light was dim, and he asked in a low voice:
"How could it be someone from the Zongqin Prince's Mansion? Something happened to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, and the Zongqin Wang couldn't tell the difference, so how could they secretly investigate this matter?"
Pei Qing signaled Lin Aoxue to be safe and calm, then took the flagon, filled another glass for Lin Aoxue, and explained at the same time:
"This wave of troops was not sent by Prince Zong, but Princess Ling!"
Bei Chenling!
Lin Aoxue choked for breath, with a serious expression on her face, she kept her mouth shut.The thoughts in her mind turned quickly, and when she thought of the relationship between Yunyan and Beichenling, she faintly felt a little unusual, and then recalled her brief contact with Beichenling when she was in the capital during the New Year's Eve, and she couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Behind this incident, is there any secret that she has never known?
"Why did Bei Chenling participate in this matter?"
She couldn't help but ask the question in her heart.
Pei Qing took a piece of beef and put it into his mouth, swallowed it in two mouthfuls, and then replied:
"At first, my father also thought he couldn't understand it. We investigated what happened at the beginning, and we vaguely got part of the truth. The murderer who framed Duke Zhen was probably the prince of the clan. But at this time, the princess intervened, and we were facing an enemy. We secretly confronted each other. It also cleaned up a lot of people under the princess."
"It was only later that we learned that Bei Chenling had been deeply concerned about the murder of General Ning's family. The inkstone on which the evidence of secret letters was found was prepared by her father, Bei Chenhe, and given to General Ning's daughter by her hand. Ning Muxue, bring it back to the Duke of Zhen’s mansion, she has been guilty and blamed herself for many years, and secretly searched for evidence in order to return the man’s innocence to the Duke of Zhen’s mansion!”
The more Pei Qing went on, the more shocked Lin Aoxue became. When she said this, Lin Aoxue was completely stunned, unable to speak for a while.
Could it be that she has been wrongly blaming Bei Chenling all this time?
Her face was pale, her lips were pursed tightly, and the hands clenched on the bamboo chopsticks were trembling involuntarily. Pei Qing looked at her in surprise, a little surprised why Lin Aoxue's reaction to this matter was so intense.
Lin Aoxue quickly noticed Pei Qing's suspicious gaze, she suppressed the doubt deep in her heart, and asked:
"and then?"
Pei Qing saw that she recovered quickly after the brief shock, although there was a trace of doubt in her eyes, but she didn't hold on to it, but continued to say:
"Princess Ling secretly provided us with help and covered Beichenhe's eyes and ears for us. After confirming that Beichenhe framed General Ning, she did not stay out of the matter, but continued to support our actions, intending to justify Zhenguo's grievances! In exchange, my father gave the golden key to Princess Ling, saying that although he trusts Princess Ling, he will not help Princess Ling get the other two keys, it depends on her own ability."
At this point, Lin Aoxue also had an answer in her heart, she let out a long sigh, and answered:
"So, the informant on Princess Ling's side is Yan'er."
She didn't have a deep understanding of Bei Chenling, but she understood Yunyan better. The person who secretly worked on this matter for Beichenling was Yunyan. Lin Aoxue had to believe that this was the truth.
Therefore, the golden key that should have been in Qin Nan'an's hands was in Yunyan's hands. She knew everything clearly, but she didn't show it.Lin Aoxue's feelings for Yunyan are also very complicated, she admires and admires Yunyan, but also feels pity and admiration. For every achievement Yunyan has gained in this chaotic situation, behind it is hidden several times the effort.
Come to think of it, after Yun Yan knew her identity, she didn't mention to her the things she and Bei Chenling did for her behind her back. First, it was because Yun Yan didn't know Lin Aoxue's hatred for Bei Chenling in her heart. Second, it was also because Lin Aoxue hadn't The ability to bear these pressures, the more you know, the easier it is to get burned.
Pei Qing nodded:
"That's right, so I have been in contact with Miss Yun since the year before last. This is the first time Miss Yun hasn't come here in person."
Lin Aoxue let out a "huh" and glanced sideways at Pei Qing with an inexplicable look on her face.
Seeing the resentment in Lin Aoxue's eyes, Pei Qing's heart shuddered, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized, he picked up a chopstick of beef and stuffed it into Lin Aoxue's bowl, and snorted angrily:
"You don't suspect that there is an unclear relationship between me and Miss Yun, do you?"
Lin Aoxue's eyes flashed, and then she glanced away.Of course she wouldn't doubt Yunyan, but she just learned that Yunyan would secretly meet with Pei Qing every once in a while for the past two years, even though she rationally knew that the two of them had business talks, she still couldn't help feeling sour Astringent, there is a feeling of suffocation, and it can't go up or down.
Xu made a decision in his heart. In her opinion, Yunyan was already hers. If others took a second look, they were trying to rob her. What's more, Pei Qing's contact with Yunyan was a fait accompli that she couldn't stop. While annoying her, she directly transferred her indignation to Pei Qing.
Pei Qing sneered, squinting at Lin Aoxue:
"You really have a villain's heart! Besides, even if I have thoughts about Miss Yun, Miss Yun won't look down on me!"
Lin Aoxue nodded when she heard the words, and muttered:
"That's true."
Pei Qing was so angry that his lungs exploded, he almost jumped off the spot and fought Lin Aoxue in the restaurant.He stomped the wine glass in his hand on the table, gritted his teeth and said:
"I'll settle this account with you when I go back. Let's get down to business first."
When Pei Qing started talking, Lin Aoxue's face turned serious, and she stopped talking and laughing with him, and sat upright, waiting for Pei Qing's next words.
"The news came from my father in Beijing a few days ago that they organized people to go to the clan prince's mansion to rescue Senior Sui Ling, but Senior Sui Ling was severely punished and his legs were disabled."
This news made Lin Aoxue's heart tighten, her face was congealed, and a feeling of guilt could not be restrained in her heart.
If it wasn't for hiding her identity for her, Sui Liang would not have sacrificed himself to be captured by the prince of the clan. Although he saved his life in the palace of the prince of the clan, the blow of losing his legs is definitely not something ordinary people can bear, let alone Sui. Mu Mu is also a master with extremely high attainments in martial arts.
Pei Qing glanced at Lin Aoxue, seeing that he suddenly fell silent, presumably because this topic was a bit heavy, he said again:
"Father learned from Senior Sui Ling that Duke Zhen's beloved daughter, Ning Muxue, is still alive!"
If Lin Aoxue was surprised when she learned that Bei Chenling secretly assisted her father's old department to investigate what happened back then, at this moment, she was terrified.Her face turned pale, she didn't know how to reply Pei Qingzhi's words, after a moment of hesitation, she frowned and asked:
"Senior Sui Liang, can you tell me where Ning Muxue is?"
Pei Qing shook his head when he heard the words:
"No, Senior Sui Liang only said that this girl is alive, but he didn't reveal any other information. Presumably there are some unavoidable reasons."
"Then did he confess this matter to Prince Zong under severe torture?"
Lin Aoxue asked again:
Pei Qing looked serious, and answered seriously:
"Senior Sui Liang is tough, even though his legs were crippled by Bei Chenhe, he didn't reveal the news at all."
Lin Aoxue breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Sui Liang didn't tell her about her, at least Bei Chenhe wouldn't suspect her before she returned to Beijing, and she still had time to deal with it.Now that Pei Qing has brought this news to her, at least she has made some preparations in her heart. I am afraid that the secret of her identity will not be kept secret for a long time.
Then, she must have the power to deal with Bei Chenhe before her identity is revealed, otherwise, Bei Chenhe would not be able to tolerate her.
Lin Aoxue let out a foul breath, rubbed the center of her eyebrows vigorously, and said:
"It's hard for senior Sui Liang to bear this hardship."
No matter what, at least she knew that she was not struggling alone. Behind her, all her father's old minions and Yun Yan protected her and became her final belonging.
Afterwards, Pei Qing and Lin Aoxue talked about some things in the capital, and after a table of food was finished, the two left Fuyun Manor together, because they were good friends on weekdays, this time they went to Fuyun Manor together Drinking doesn't look weird either.
When Lin Aoxue returned to the barracks, she still felt in the fog, more and more things were overwhelming her, and she was in a hurry to deal with it, feeling powerless.Pei Qing patted her on the shoulder, and invited her to go to the main tent to continue studying the military defense. Lin Aoxue did not refuse, and walked towards the main tent together behind Pei Qing.
When the two of them opened the curtain and walked in, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes outside the tent, Lin Aoxue and Pei Qing stopped at the same time, but saw a messenger coming on horseback, shouting "urgent report" and rushed into the barracks, Finally, it stopped in front of Pei Qing and Lin Aoxue.
The messenger was panting heavily because he was in such a hurry, and his face was flushed red. He got off his horse, walked quickly to Pei Qing and Lin Aoxue, knelt down on one knee, took out a roll of military orders from his arms, He raised it above his head, handed it to Pei Qing respectfully, and said:
"General Pei! General Lin! The general has an urgent order!"
Pei Qing showed hesitation, Lin Aoxue also frowned, there have been a lot of strange things recently, Bei Chenlong was recuperating in Yiping, why did he suddenly issue an urgent order?
"Let's open it first."
Lin Aoxue raised her chin towards Pei Qing, signaling to Pei Qing to read what was written in the military order first.Pei Qing nodded, and slowly unfolded the volume of military orders.
"what?!"
After a while, when Pei Qing saw the writing on the military order clearly, his expression changed, and the hand holding the military order trembled, showing a look of surprise in his eyes.Seeing this, Lin Aoxue's face darkened suddenly. Before she could ask, Pei Qing threw the military order at Lin Aoxue:
"look by youself."
Lin Aoxue took the object in doubt, and the handwriting caught her eyes, she was shocked and inexplicable.
"Send troops to fight against the prairie barbarians?"
Bei Chenlong wrote in this military order that he ordered Lin Aoxue to be the main general, leading 15 troops, to send troops to the grasslands, and go deep into the hinterland of the barbarians to fight against the barbarians.
Lin Aoxue's heart skipped a beat, and she carefully checked the military order several times. She was sure that it was written by Bei Chenlong herself. She gritted her teeth, her heart pounding.
Xuanhe moved too fast!
Yesterday he told Lin Aoxue in detail that the barbarians secretly communicated with Beichenhe, and wanted to use Beichen's soldiers to quell the civil strife among the barbarians. Today, the military order was issued to Lin Aoxue. Such efficiency sent chills down Lin Aoxue's spine, and at the same time realized the extremely critical One point, there must have been some unusual changes in Beijing, otherwise Bei Chenhe wouldn't be in such a hurry!
The author has something to say: _(:з」∠)_Oh, I also need to give you a lot of advice for the new volume. Alas, this article is halfway through, and I feel that it hasn’t been long since I started it...
Routine comments please accept please click!
A line of warm tears gushed out of her eyes, slid down her cheeks, sank into the soil under her feet, and soon disappeared.Her nose was astringent, and the uncontrollable pain rolled in her heart, making her red eye sockets reveal her fragility without any cover.But she quickly covered her face with her cuffs, hiding the broken and noisy pain at that moment.
Yingsi was by the side, watching the tears fall from the corners of Lin Aoxue's eyes, both shocked and moved.
Men don’t cry when they cry, in the eyes of Yingsi, Lin Aoxue is a man of indomitable spirit, she has military talents, and she is unparalleled in bravery. Once on the battlefield, she can take the head of an enemy general among thousands of troops, and she can win the championship In a fit of anger, he privately mobilized soldiers and horses for Yunyan to break out of Xingbeiguan, with a magnificent momentum that is second to none in the world.
But it was such an upright person who shed tears fragilely the moment he saw Yunyan's handwriting.
He saw everything that Yunyan did for Lin Aoxue. He thought that Lin Aoxue was not worthy of Yunyan's attention at all. Lin Aoxue was in the army, and when he was busy, he didn't even bother to go to the hospital to see Yunyan. Compared with Yunyan's treatment of Lin Aoxue Lin Aoxue's tenderness and affection can be described as ruthless and ungrateful.
However, at this moment, that tear washed away all the dissatisfaction and blame towards Lin Aoxue in his heart, so it turned out that such a iron-blooded man would cry.
He lowered his head silently, tried his best to look away, and stopped looking at Lin Aoxue.
Lin Aoxue tried her best to calm the turbulent emotions in her heart. When she put down her sleeves, the expression on her face had returned to normal.She folded the letter and put it back into the wooden box, then took out the two jade pendants, put the golden key on her body into the wooden box, closed the box lid, and handed it to Yingsi :
"You lock this thing up again and bury it on the spot."
Shadow Si is one of the shadow guards, Yunyan handed over the shadow guard transfer order to Lin Aoxue, and that shadow guard also obeyed Lin Aoxue's orders, if there was a little reluctance in his heart before, now those slight grievances have disappeared.
He took the wooden box from Lin Aoxue, and locked the mechanism lock on the wooden box in a different way than before. After confirming that it was correct, he re-buried the box on the spot.
In order to prevent people from identifying the difference between the new mud and the old soil, he also found some withered grass and fallen leaves, and spread a layer on the roots of the trees, completely covering up the traces left after the digging.
After everything was done, Lin Aoxue hammered her head and asked him:
"What do you plan to do next?"
While cleaning up the traces under the tree, Yingsi replied:
"As a shadow guard, I naturally have to perform the duties of a shadow guard. Miss Yun asked me to be loyal to you, and I will be at your command, join the army with you, and be ready for orders at any time."
Lin Aoxue frowned, and glanced at the knife wound on Yingsi's waist:
"But you still have injuries."
Yingsi's brows and eyes slanted, and the look in his eyes was cold:
"It's just a small injury, nothing serious."
He felt that Lin Aoxue was questioning his ability.
Lin Aoxue blinked, seeing Yingsi persisted, as if if she said one more word, this person would fight her to prove that he still had strength.Since Yingsi insisted, she couldn't say anything more, so she sighed helplessly and said:
"Follow if you want, but act carefully, and be careful not to let the wound worsen. It's best to get well sooner, so as not to cause trouble."
Lin Aoxue understood Yingsi's temperament a little bit, so she also changed her wording to another way that Yingsi could accept.
Yingsi snorted coldly and didn't answer, but Lin Aoxue knew he had listened.
Lin Aoxue let out a foul breath, and said again:
"Let's go, lead the way, get out of here, and go back to the barracks."
This forest is arranged according to the rules in Qimen Dunjia, Lin Aoxue doesn't know much about it, if you just walk in any direction, you will probably get lost.
Ying Si didn't hesitate, turned around and left, with windy steps under her feet, Lin Aoxue felt a little funny in her heart, this Ying Si looked calm and stable, but it seemed extraordinarily naive in these small places.
It was late at night when she returned to the barracks, and the guards stationed outside the tent were so sleepy that although they stood at the door, they shook their heads with the guns in their hands, and might fall asleep at any time.
Lin Aoxue came out from the darkness, walked carefully between the two guards, returned to her tent, lay down on the bed with her clothes on, and began to think again.
She got too much information today, about the barbarians, about Beichen, and even about Yunyan.
Yunyan is indeed a formidable woman. Under Bei Chenhe's nose, she can cultivate her own cronies, and there are as many as 11 of them, all of whom are good hands.Now, she has handed all of this, the power she has cultivated with all her efforts, into Lin Aoxue's hands without reservation.
This is not only a huge force, but also Yunyan's unreserved trust in Lin Aoxue and her fiery sincerity.
Its heaviness was enough to make Lin Aoxue's brains go crazy, and she gave all her affection for it.
Feeling a little dizzy from the forehead, she has been running around for several days, leading troops back from the Central Plains battlefield, galloping thousands of miles to aid Yiping, and then sending troops to Xingbei Pass to regain the lost ground, and then led the troops to chase out of the pass, and at night, they fought with Xuan He again, After getting what Yunyan handed over from the studio, she was already exhausted and exhausted.
What's more, when she was outside the customs, because of Yunyan being captured and she was impotent, she was rushed and suffered internal trauma. At this moment, her mind was slightly relaxed, and she became sleepy and unbearable.
She closed her eyes, pressed her forehead, and took a light sleep for a while. No matter how many things she had to do, she should take time to rest for a while, otherwise, once her body was exhausted, she would have no money to save Yunyan.
Lin Aoxue closed her eyes, her consciousness was in a daze, and it didn't take long for the sky outside to light up.
The sound of the horn in the morning woke her up. She turned over and sat up, shook her head vigorously, and immediately got up and splashed cold water on her face to wake herself up faster. Today is the seventeenth day of this month, and there is no fighting in the camp. In the future, she will go to Fuyun Village to contact the son of her father's old department.
But before that, there should be some important things to deal with.
As soon as she washed her face, a messenger came outside the tent, and Pei Qing invited her to discuss matters in the tent.
Lin Aoxue didn't stay in the house for too long, after she packed her clothes, she went to see Pei Qing.
Pei Qing waited for her to come and asked her to sit down, then said to her:
"Yesterday evening, I sent messengers to Yiping to report the battle situation at Xingbei Pass to the general. The military order has arrived this morning. The general said that he is not feeling well and needs to stay in Yiping for a while to recuperate. He sent the two of us." Continue to garrison Xingbeiguan to prevent the barbarians from coming again."
Lin Aoxue nodded, remembering what happened when she led troops out of the city yesterday, so she asked:
"Regarding the matter of my privately sending troops to chase after the barbarian team yesterday, does the general say how to deal with it?"
Hearing this, Pei Qing showed a smile on his face, shook his head lightly, and said:
"General Lin Pian doesn't need to worry. I talked with the general about this matter. After we discussed it, we sent troops to pursue it. As for the detailed matters outside the pass, the general didn't ask in detail. It should be safe in a short time."
Lin Aoxue never thought that Pei Qing would reply her like this, she opened her mouth in astonishment, and it took a while to realize that Pei Qing had suppressed the matter for her.
If there is no accident, Bei Chenlong will have the energy to pursue the matter after his injury recovers, but when Bei Chenlong recovers from his injury, we don't know how long it will be. Today's battle did not produce any bad results, and there will inevitably be some side changes in the middle of the time. Beichenlong Whether it will be pursued is also uncertain.
Pei Qing abused her personal power and played a cover for Lin Aoxue.
Lin Aoxue was extremely shocked, she stood up suddenly, and bowed respectfully to Pei Qing:
"General Pei's kindness, I will remember it in my heart."
Pei Qing waved his hands, quickly stepped forward to help her up, and said with a smile:
"General Lin Pian doesn't need to be like this. You and I are both generals of Beichen, so we should protect and support each other. Now that the barbarians are around outside the pass, and the country is in chaos and turmoil, under such circumstances, among our army, we really shouldn't If there are more civil strife, the generals of the Chinese army will be damaged for nothing.”
Lin Aoxue was quite moved by Pei Qing's righteousness, she sighed in her heart, if all the generals in Beichen Army were like Pei Qing, there would be fewer fights in Xing Beiguan.Yang Jin and Guo Wencheng, who were killed by Bei Chenlong, were also such good generals, but these two lacked Pei Qing's courage to judge the situation and be able to bend and stretch, and died for no reason before their wings were full.
Lin Aoxue felt emotional in her heart, so she discussed with Pei Qing about the garrison arrangement in Guanzhong in Xingbei, without any thanks.
It was almost noon after she came out of Pei Qing's tent, Lin Aoxue went to the school grounds to supervise the soldiers' drills, since she was promoted to a county lieutenant, she seldom supervised the soldiers' training in person, there are always too many things to keep busy on weekdays Right now, if she wants to send troops outside the customs, she can't be in a hurry. She has a rare moment of free time, so she comes to the school grounds to have a look.
The soldiers on the school ground were shouting loudly during the drill, Lin Aoxue approached the school ground, and suddenly thought of going to see how Lu Sheng was doing in the army recently.
Lu Sheng has been fighting with Lin Aoxue since two years ago. Although he is not as brave as Lin Aoxue, he still has outstanding military exploits. He survived the battlefield and accumulated a lot of military achievements. He has now been promoted to a thousand households. Have a certain reputation in the army.
At that time, Xu He, who often followed Lu Sheng and saddled Lin Aoxue, also sat in the position of a hundred households from an ordinary pawn. His official position was not high, but their promotion speed was extremely fast among the whole army.
When Lin Aoxue came, Lu Sheng was supervising the drills of the soldiers on the school field, talking to his soldiers about the usage of weapons and how to kill the enemy faster and protect himself on the battlefield.After he became a thousand households, he gradually used his time to study the way of forming troops, and his own martial arts also increased year by year, and his progress was rapid.
Lin Aoxue looked at it from a distance, and suddenly picked up a stone with her toe, and flicked it towards Lu Sheng with two fingers.
Lu Sheng, who was talking to his soldiers in detail, suddenly moved his ears, and was keenly aware of the subtle sound of the stone piercing through the air. He turned the simple knife in his hand, pointed it vertically behind him, and smashed the flying knife with the face of the knife. The shot stone bounced off, leaving only a small white mark on the dark silver body of Pu Dao.
The soldiers under his command clapped their hands and applauded in an uproar.
Lu Sheng looked back, but seeing Lin Aoxue smiling with satisfaction and nodding towards him, Lu Sheng was overjoyed, turned his head and scolded, telling the soldiers to stop making noise and practice hard, then he quickly walked towards Lin Aoxue and cupped his hands Said "Pian Jiang".
With a smile in her eyes, Lin Aoxue praised with relief:
"Not bad, not bad, even in the army, I haven't let down my vigilance, and I can be alone."
Lu Sheng was praised by Lin Aoxue, but his face showed a bit of embarrassment. He smiled and touched the back of his head, and said:
"Thanks to the general's cultivation, Lu Sheng's success today is definitely inseparable from the kindness of the general."
Without Lin Aoxue, let alone become a thousand households, it is still unknown whether he would have survived the first few battles when he first entered the barracks.Although his great hatred has not yet been avenged, he is no longer the cowardly person who was emptied of his thoughts by hatred, and indeed, as Lin Aoxue said, he can be alone.
Lin Aoxue heard Lu Sheng's words, but said with a smile:
"What others can help you is limited after all. Your achievements like this are mostly due to your own efforts. Remember to guard against arrogance and impetuosity. Go ahead and keep practicing."
Lu Sheng always cared about what Lin Aoxue said, and when Lin Aoxue said it, he said obediently:
"Yes, my subordinates remember it."
After Lu Sheng turned around and returned to the front of the formation, and continued to instruct the soldiers to practice, Lin Aoxue walked around the school field again, and suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Bei Chenji for a long time, she frowned slightly, guessing that Bei Chenji might follow Bei Chenlong went to Yiping together, so he stopped paying attention, then left the barracks and went to Fuyun Village.
After she came to Fuyunzhuang, she found the wine table mentioned in the letter Yunyan left her, ordered a jug of wine, and waited by the window for herself.
From the window of this wine table, one can see the closed door of Yanxue Medical Hall.
There are still not many pedestrians on the street, and the business in Fuyunzhuang is not as prosperous as usual. There are a few drinkers sitting in the hall, which is less than [-]% of the heyday.The impact of the war on Xingbeiguan is obvious. Even the people living in Xingbeiguan all year round cannot return to their normal state soon after encountering the danger of Xingbeiguan breaking down the city.
Lin Aoxue sighed softly, every war will bring countless pains, and also destroy many things, feelings, money, all of which will be burned.
She put the sapphire obtained from Yunyan on her waist, and sat at the table, having a drink from time to time, she didn't appear to be in a hurry, nor did she look like she was waiting for someone.
About half an hour later, a person came up from the stairs, crossed the hall and stood behind Lin Aoxue, raising his hand to press her shoulder.
Lin Aoxue fought back and pinched the man's wrist, not allowing him to get any closer.
As early as this person walked up the stairs, Lin Aoxue heard the sound of footsteps coming from the steps. The footsteps of martial arts practitioners were completely different from the footsteps of ordinary drinkers. Lin Aoxue was surprised.
This person walking behind her confirmed Lin Aoxue's guess.
But when she turned her head, she was still shocked by what she saw.
She never expected that the person standing behind her was Pei Qing.
Pei Qing wore plain white clothes for this trip, he looked less like a general, but more refined. He had a gentle expression, and even though Lin Aoxue grabbed his wrist, he didn't feel annoyed at all. Instead, she smiled and nodded towards Lin Aoxue, winking and jokingly said:
"There are so many affairs in the army, General Lin Pian unexpectedly came out to drink in his busy schedule. I caught him this time. Be careful, I will report this matter to make you suffer."
Lin Aoxue's mind was in a mess, and she couldn't distinguish the current situation. When she saw that it was Pei Qing, she immediately lost her words, and even the manuscript she had typed earlier was useless.
"General Pei also came to Fuyunzhuang to drink?"
She was a little uncertain whether Pei Qing was passing by unintentionally, or if he really came to meet her.
Just when she was puzzled, Pei Qing sat down on the other side of the wine table, took the wine glass and jug without any notice, poured himself a glass of wine, and said with a smile:
"Yes, today I heard that Xingbei's Jade Ware released a new artifact. It is said to be made of Yuezhou's sapphire, but it is a good treasure. Will Lin Pianjiang be interested in seeing it?"
Lin Aoxue's ears twitched, and the words "Yuezhou Qingyu" attracted her attention, because the sapphire used as a keepsake was also made of Yuezhou sapphire.Because of this, Lin Aoxue immediately understood Pei Qing's identity, and Pei Qing really came to meet her.
She felt absurd and fortunate, and at the same time, she still had a sense of understanding that Pei Qing, who had been taking good care of her in the army, was actually the informant who contacted Yunyan from her father's old department. As well as the magnanimity of handing over 20 soldiers and horses to Lin Aoxue for no reason earlier, there are reasonable explanations.
Lin Aoxue put down the wine glass in her hand, and with a smile on her face, she replied:
"Since it is General Pei's invitation, Lin Aoxue should naturally accompany her."
Pei Qing laughed, turned around and called the waiter from the villa, ordered some appetizers, chatted with Lin Aoxue while eating.
"General Pei and senior Qin Nan'an are old?"
During the dinner, Lin Aoxue lowered her head and asked in a voice that only the two people at the table could hear.
Qin Nan'an is Lin Aoxue's father's old department, and is a senior with the same seniority as Sui Liang. Yun Yan's letter to Lin Aoxue said that the person who joined him was Qin Nan'an's son, but the person who appeared in front of Lin Aoxue was Pei Qing. Lin Aoxue naturally felt suspicious. Is it possible that Qin Nan'an's son, like Yun Yan, was unable to attend the meeting in person for some reason, so he used the hands of others to complete the meeting.
Pei Qing raised his head and glanced at Lin Aoxue, the corners of his lips curled up, revealing a hearty smile, and also lowered his voice, and replied:
"Qin Nan'an is my father."
Lin Aoxue stared, rather shocked.
Knowing what she was wondering about, Pei Qing said:
"Back then when something happened to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, the Qin family was also secretly targeted. My father was worried that I would be implicated, so he adopted me to an ordinary farm family as an adopted son, and at the same time changed my name. It is the name I have now. His original surname was Qin, and his last name was Yueqing."
After hearing Pei Qing's explanation, Lin Aoxue suddenly understood, no wonder Pei Qing changed her surname to Pei instead of following her father's surname Qin.
After Pei Qing explained this sentence, there was another smile in his eyes, he looked at Lin Aoxue and said:
"I originally thought that Lin Pianjiang and Miss Yun just had a good relationship, but I didn't expect it to be so good. No wonder Lin Pianjiang became so angry yesterday that he became a beauty."
Lin Aoxue showed a look of embarrassment, how could she know that the person who came would be Pei Qing, so that she seemed to have all the handles in this person's hands.She shook her head helplessly, and said with a wry smile:
"General Pei will stop laughing at me."
The smile on Pei Qing's face remained undiminished, and he took another two mouthfuls of side dishes, then he calmed down and said:
"About our meeting, how much did Miss Yun tell you?"
Lin Aoxue paused for a moment with the chopsticks in her hand, then continued to pick up the vegetables with the chopsticks and put them in the bowl:
"Yan'er only left me a letter, asking me to take the jade pendant to join Qin Nan'an's son, and didn't say anything else."
Now that Pei Qing knew about the close relationship between Lin Aoxue and Yunyan, Lin Aoxue didn't deliberately hide anything, and called Yunyan "Yan'er" openly.Pei Qing didn't take it seriously either. Hearing Lin Aoxue's answer, he pondered for a moment and asked again:
"Then do you know the golden key?"
Lin Aoxue nodded, but a trace of doubt floated in her heart, since Yunyan had already made arrangements, why did she feel that Pei Qing didn't know that she had another golden key.Lin Aoxue blinked, but still didn't tell the fact that the second golden key was in her hands.
She lowered her head and thought for a while, then suddenly realized.
Thinking about coming to Yunyan, she had her own considerations. It wasn't that she didn't have the opportunity to tell Pei Qing about it, but because she didn't want to expose Lin Aoxue's identity. The process of Lin Aoxue obtaining the golden key was extremely secretive, and it was easy for people to doubt her true identity. Pei Qing is the son of Lin Aoxue's former subordinate, just to be on the safe side, Yun Yan did not mention this matter to Pei Qing.
The deeper she understood Yunyan, the more painful Lin Aoxue's heart became, and the softer and more moved she was.
Yun Yan is as meticulous as a hair, and she paves the way for her seriously and caringly. She is such a timid and cowardly person. Facing the hot and fiery sincerity, she thinks about how to protect herself and how to escape. She also selfishly said that she wanted Yunyan to wait until she finished avenging her family.
Her heart seemed to be blocked by a ball of cotton, and her breath was entangled with countless threads of unreasonable sorrow.
Even though she was so ungrateful and ungrateful, Yun Yan was as gentle as ever. This friendship made her ashamed, like a needle piercing her heart. The cold and sharp feeling was accompanied by the sour and unspeakable longing in her chest, which made her eyes roll involuntarily. redness.
If she can bring Yan'er back this time, then they will get married.
She no longer wants that hatred to restrict their pace, and because she doesn't know when accidents and misfortunes will happen, she should cherish those who are still around.
She suddenly wanted to settle down and give Yunyan a hug where she could see hope. At least, even though her body was like duckweed, she wanted to give them a home with peace of mind.
Thinking of this, she suddenly smiled, as if she had unloaded the burden that made her exhausted, and when Pei Qing looked up, she said:
"Yan'er once told me that there are three golden keys in the world. They were prepared by the Duke of Zhen in case of personal accident, and they were handed over to someone close to him to take care of them. One is in her hands, and the other two are in the hands of the former Duke of Zhen. But I don't know, what important secret is hidden behind this golden key?"
Picking up the wine glass, Pei Qing took a sip, remained silent for a moment, as if deliberating his words, and then replied:
"It seems that Miss Yun trusts Lin Pianjiang very much. In this case, I will not treat you as an outsider. Let me tell you directly. Originally, these three keys were a secret move prepared by Lord Zhen Guo to prevent accidents. Unexpectedly, the emperor The attack was too fast, and the Zhen Guogong was unable to defend against it. In one night, more than 100 people in the general's mansion were all stabbed to death, and the Zhen Guogong's mansion was burned to the ground, leaving no clues."
"After this incident, the emperor secretly ordered to check the number of charred corpses in the mansion of the Duke of Zhen, and confirmed that there was no one alive in the mansion. After the accident in the mansion of the Duke of Zhen, my father and two other close friends left the Duke of Zhen at the same time. However, in fact, they all felt that the incident in the Zhenguo Mansion was too strange, so they turned from the light to the dark and investigated the truth of the incident in the Zhenguo Mansion."
"In order to avoid the limelight, they all resigned from office and went back to seclusion. They cut off contact with each other, and agreed to use the golden key given to them by the Zhenguo bus as a token. Every three years, they would send their trusted people to be in the middle of the summer by Zhanyang Lake in Beijing. Gathering in the Canary Tower, next year will be another third year."
"Because it has been more than ten years since the original incident, Beijing and China have not been so closely watched. Since the last meeting, the three parties who have the golden key still have some connections with each other. However, there have been many changes this year. Miss Yun told I, Senior Sui Ling who had another golden key in my hand was captured alive by Prince Zong, the current situation is unknown, and the golden key has disappeared, as for the other party, there has been no movement yet."
While Pei Qing was talking, he was paying attention to the changes around him. His voice was kept very low to ensure that it would not be heard. Lin Aoxue listened intently. This part, Yun Yan had also roughly talked to her before, although she did not Pei Qing spoke in such detail, but she also knew the general idea.
There was a look of doubt in her eyes, she turned her head and asked:
"Since that's the case, why did this golden key fall into Yan'er's hands? You have been secretly investigating for more than ten years, and have you gained anything?"
Hearing this, Pei Qing smiled casually:
"Don't be in a hurry, Lin Pianjiang. This matter is a long story, just let me tell you in detail."
He paused, sorted out his thoughts, and then continued:
"My father and his three friends secretly investigated the change of the Zhen Guo Gongfu. In the process, they discovered that another force was also investigating the original incident. Do you know where this group of people came from?"
Pei Qing made a fool of herself on purpose, Lin Aoxue frowned slightly, showing doubts:
"where?"
Pei Qing glanced around and let Lin Aoxue listen to her.
Lin Aoxue's eyes became more suspicious, she leaned forward, and when she got closer, she heard Pei Qing whispering in her ear:
"It's from the clan prince's mansion."
Lin Aoxue was startled when she heard the words, a green bean she had just picked up in her hand fell back onto the plate, the shock on her face could not be concealed, but when Pei Qing tapped the table lightly, Lin Aoxue suddenly came back to her senses, the expression in her eyes The light was dim, and he asked in a low voice:
"How could it be someone from the Zongqin Prince's Mansion? Something happened to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, and the Zongqin Wang couldn't tell the difference, so how could they secretly investigate this matter?"
Pei Qing signaled Lin Aoxue to be safe and calm, then took the flagon, filled another glass for Lin Aoxue, and explained at the same time:
"This wave of troops was not sent by Prince Zong, but Princess Ling!"
Bei Chenling!
Lin Aoxue choked for breath, with a serious expression on her face, she kept her mouth shut.The thoughts in her mind turned quickly, and when she thought of the relationship between Yunyan and Beichenling, she faintly felt a little unusual, and then recalled her brief contact with Beichenling when she was in the capital during the New Year's Eve, and she couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Behind this incident, is there any secret that she has never known?
"Why did Bei Chenling participate in this matter?"
She couldn't help but ask the question in her heart.
Pei Qing took a piece of beef and put it into his mouth, swallowed it in two mouthfuls, and then replied:
"At first, my father also thought he couldn't understand it. We investigated what happened at the beginning, and we vaguely got part of the truth. The murderer who framed Duke Zhen was probably the prince of the clan. But at this time, the princess intervened, and we were facing an enemy. We secretly confronted each other. It also cleaned up a lot of people under the princess."
"It was only later that we learned that Bei Chenling had been deeply concerned about the murder of General Ning's family. The inkstone on which the evidence of secret letters was found was prepared by her father, Bei Chenhe, and given to General Ning's daughter by her hand. Ning Muxue, bring it back to the Duke of Zhen’s mansion, she has been guilty and blamed herself for many years, and secretly searched for evidence in order to return the man’s innocence to the Duke of Zhen’s mansion!”
The more Pei Qing went on, the more shocked Lin Aoxue became. When she said this, Lin Aoxue was completely stunned, unable to speak for a while.
Could it be that she has been wrongly blaming Bei Chenling all this time?
Her face was pale, her lips were pursed tightly, and the hands clenched on the bamboo chopsticks were trembling involuntarily. Pei Qing looked at her in surprise, a little surprised why Lin Aoxue's reaction to this matter was so intense.
Lin Aoxue quickly noticed Pei Qing's suspicious gaze, she suppressed the doubt deep in her heart, and asked:
"and then?"
Pei Qing saw that she recovered quickly after the brief shock, although there was a trace of doubt in her eyes, but she didn't hold on to it, but continued to say:
"Princess Ling secretly provided us with help and covered Beichenhe's eyes and ears for us. After confirming that Beichenhe framed General Ning, she did not stay out of the matter, but continued to support our actions, intending to justify Zhenguo's grievances! In exchange, my father gave the golden key to Princess Ling, saying that although he trusts Princess Ling, he will not help Princess Ling get the other two keys, it depends on her own ability."
At this point, Lin Aoxue also had an answer in her heart, she let out a long sigh, and answered:
"So, the informant on Princess Ling's side is Yan'er."
She didn't have a deep understanding of Bei Chenling, but she understood Yunyan better. The person who secretly worked on this matter for Beichenling was Yunyan. Lin Aoxue had to believe that this was the truth.
Therefore, the golden key that should have been in Qin Nan'an's hands was in Yunyan's hands. She knew everything clearly, but she didn't show it.Lin Aoxue's feelings for Yunyan are also very complicated, she admires and admires Yunyan, but also feels pity and admiration. For every achievement Yunyan has gained in this chaotic situation, behind it is hidden several times the effort.
Come to think of it, after Yun Yan knew her identity, she didn't mention to her the things she and Bei Chenling did for her behind her back. First, it was because Yun Yan didn't know Lin Aoxue's hatred for Bei Chenling in her heart. Second, it was also because Lin Aoxue hadn't The ability to bear these pressures, the more you know, the easier it is to get burned.
Pei Qing nodded:
"That's right, so I have been in contact with Miss Yun since the year before last. This is the first time Miss Yun hasn't come here in person."
Lin Aoxue let out a "huh" and glanced sideways at Pei Qing with an inexplicable look on her face.
Seeing the resentment in Lin Aoxue's eyes, Pei Qing's heart shuddered, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized, he picked up a chopstick of beef and stuffed it into Lin Aoxue's bowl, and snorted angrily:
"You don't suspect that there is an unclear relationship between me and Miss Yun, do you?"
Lin Aoxue's eyes flashed, and then she glanced away.Of course she wouldn't doubt Yunyan, but she just learned that Yunyan would secretly meet with Pei Qing every once in a while for the past two years, even though she rationally knew that the two of them had business talks, she still couldn't help feeling sour Astringent, there is a feeling of suffocation, and it can't go up or down.
Xu made a decision in his heart. In her opinion, Yunyan was already hers. If others took a second look, they were trying to rob her. What's more, Pei Qing's contact with Yunyan was a fait accompli that she couldn't stop. While annoying her, she directly transferred her indignation to Pei Qing.
Pei Qing sneered, squinting at Lin Aoxue:
"You really have a villain's heart! Besides, even if I have thoughts about Miss Yun, Miss Yun won't look down on me!"
Lin Aoxue nodded when she heard the words, and muttered:
"That's true."
Pei Qing was so angry that his lungs exploded, he almost jumped off the spot and fought Lin Aoxue in the restaurant.He stomped the wine glass in his hand on the table, gritted his teeth and said:
"I'll settle this account with you when I go back. Let's get down to business first."
When Pei Qing started talking, Lin Aoxue's face turned serious, and she stopped talking and laughing with him, and sat upright, waiting for Pei Qing's next words.
"The news came from my father in Beijing a few days ago that they organized people to go to the clan prince's mansion to rescue Senior Sui Ling, but Senior Sui Ling was severely punished and his legs were disabled."
This news made Lin Aoxue's heart tighten, her face was congealed, and a feeling of guilt could not be restrained in her heart.
If it wasn't for hiding her identity for her, Sui Liang would not have sacrificed himself to be captured by the prince of the clan. Although he saved his life in the palace of the prince of the clan, the blow of losing his legs is definitely not something ordinary people can bear, let alone Sui. Mu Mu is also a master with extremely high attainments in martial arts.
Pei Qing glanced at Lin Aoxue, seeing that he suddenly fell silent, presumably because this topic was a bit heavy, he said again:
"Father learned from Senior Sui Ling that Duke Zhen's beloved daughter, Ning Muxue, is still alive!"
If Lin Aoxue was surprised when she learned that Bei Chenling secretly assisted her father's old department to investigate what happened back then, at this moment, she was terrified.Her face turned pale, she didn't know how to reply Pei Qingzhi's words, after a moment of hesitation, she frowned and asked:
"Senior Sui Liang, can you tell me where Ning Muxue is?"
Pei Qing shook his head when he heard the words:
"No, Senior Sui Liang only said that this girl is alive, but he didn't reveal any other information. Presumably there are some unavoidable reasons."
"Then did he confess this matter to Prince Zong under severe torture?"
Lin Aoxue asked again:
Pei Qing looked serious, and answered seriously:
"Senior Sui Liang is tough, even though his legs were crippled by Bei Chenhe, he didn't reveal the news at all."
Lin Aoxue breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Sui Liang didn't tell her about her, at least Bei Chenhe wouldn't suspect her before she returned to Beijing, and she still had time to deal with it.Now that Pei Qing has brought this news to her, at least she has made some preparations in her heart. I am afraid that the secret of her identity will not be kept secret for a long time.
Then, she must have the power to deal with Bei Chenhe before her identity is revealed, otherwise, Bei Chenhe would not be able to tolerate her.
Lin Aoxue let out a foul breath, rubbed the center of her eyebrows vigorously, and said:
"It's hard for senior Sui Liang to bear this hardship."
No matter what, at least she knew that she was not struggling alone. Behind her, all her father's old minions and Yun Yan protected her and became her final belonging.
Afterwards, Pei Qing and Lin Aoxue talked about some things in the capital, and after a table of food was finished, the two left Fuyun Manor together, because they were good friends on weekdays, this time they went to Fuyun Manor together Drinking doesn't look weird either.
When Lin Aoxue returned to the barracks, she still felt in the fog, more and more things were overwhelming her, and she was in a hurry to deal with it, feeling powerless.Pei Qing patted her on the shoulder, and invited her to go to the main tent to continue studying the military defense. Lin Aoxue did not refuse, and walked towards the main tent together behind Pei Qing.
When the two of them opened the curtain and walked in, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes outside the tent, Lin Aoxue and Pei Qing stopped at the same time, but saw a messenger coming on horseback, shouting "urgent report" and rushed into the barracks, Finally, it stopped in front of Pei Qing and Lin Aoxue.
The messenger was panting heavily because he was in such a hurry, and his face was flushed red. He got off his horse, walked quickly to Pei Qing and Lin Aoxue, knelt down on one knee, took out a roll of military orders from his arms, He raised it above his head, handed it to Pei Qing respectfully, and said:
"General Pei! General Lin! The general has an urgent order!"
Pei Qing showed hesitation, Lin Aoxue also frowned, there have been a lot of strange things recently, Bei Chenlong was recuperating in Yiping, why did he suddenly issue an urgent order?
"Let's open it first."
Lin Aoxue raised her chin towards Pei Qing, signaling to Pei Qing to read what was written in the military order first.Pei Qing nodded, and slowly unfolded the volume of military orders.
"what?!"
After a while, when Pei Qing saw the writing on the military order clearly, his expression changed, and the hand holding the military order trembled, showing a look of surprise in his eyes.Seeing this, Lin Aoxue's face darkened suddenly. Before she could ask, Pei Qing threw the military order at Lin Aoxue:
"look by youself."
Lin Aoxue took the object in doubt, and the handwriting caught her eyes, she was shocked and inexplicable.
"Send troops to fight against the prairie barbarians?"
Bei Chenlong wrote in this military order that he ordered Lin Aoxue to be the main general, leading 15 troops, to send troops to the grasslands, and go deep into the hinterland of the barbarians to fight against the barbarians.
Lin Aoxue's heart skipped a beat, and she carefully checked the military order several times. She was sure that it was written by Bei Chenlong herself. She gritted her teeth, her heart pounding.
Xuanhe moved too fast!
Yesterday he told Lin Aoxue in detail that the barbarians secretly communicated with Beichenhe, and wanted to use Beichen's soldiers to quell the civil strife among the barbarians. Today, the military order was issued to Lin Aoxue. Such efficiency sent chills down Lin Aoxue's spine, and at the same time realized the extremely critical One point, there must have been some unusual changes in Beijing, otherwise Bei Chenhe wouldn't be in such a hurry!
The author has something to say: _(:з」∠)_Oh, I also need to give you a lot of advice for the new volume. Alas, this article is halfway through, and I feel that it hasn’t been long since I started it...
