Chapter 155

It was already dark when Long Da came back. He first went to the military tent to listen to the reports from the soldiers and generals, and then went back to his own tent. In his hand was a bouquet of flowers in a large bowl. That’s what I saw on the way back. The flowers bloom just right, pink in color, small ones, but grow into a large cluster, swaying in the wind, the flower branches stretch, and you can smell a faint fragrance when you get close.

Long Da didn’t know the name of this flower, but it reminded him of An Ruochen – if you don’t pay attention, it’s easy to miss it. But if you really get close, you will find beauty.

General Long pulled up the bunch of flowers with roots and soil, turned around and saw the strange expressions of the accompanying soldiers, and ordered them each to pull out a bunch of flowers and take them back to the camp.

“General, what’s the use of this?” a guard asked.

“Go back and plant at the gate of the camp.”

“What are you doing?” asked another.

“Do you still need to ask such trivial matters?” Long Da said with a straight face.

Don’t you need to ask? But I really don’t understand. The generals didn’t ask any more questions, and they were worried that they would not be enough, so they almost pulled out all the flowers on the hillside. A group of people came back with a large bunch of flowers in their arms, and they were very eye-catching. After returning to the camp, everyone gathered together to cross flowers and plant them together. Long Da walked away calmly holding his bunch of flowers. If you don’t have a vase or pot, find a big bowl to put it in. After dealing with the military affairs, he asked An Ruochen about today’s news, and returned the account with a flower bowl.

When I got to the tent, I was a little ashamed, and after pondering some arguments in my mind, I opened the door of the tent.

Going in and taking a look, Bai was nervous. An Ruochen fell asleep lying on the table.

Long Dafang stepped lightly, and gently placed the flower bowl on the table. Looking at An Ruochen, she didn’t wake up. The face is leaning on the side of the arm, the long eyelashes cast two curved shadows on the face, the delicate nose and the pink lips look delicate and delicate.

Long Da knew what it looked like when she wrinkled her nose and made a grimace, and she knew what it looked like when she curled the corners of her mouth and smiled, she looked delicate and weak, but he knew that she was not delicate at all.

Long Da couldn’t help but bowed his head and kissed her forehead gently. He also knew how it felt to hold her, how soft her lips were, how cute she was biting her lips, and how her eyelashes trembled when she was shy. By the way, he also knew that she didn’t sleep honestly and would kick people in the middle of the night. He accused her of brutality, but she still didn’t believe it. Finally, she managed to figure out a reason, saying that she probably wasn’t used to sleeping with other people.

Is this something you can’t get used to? Long Da kissed her forehead again. He also just practiced sharing the bed with someone, so he didn’t kick her. Well, fortunately, he didn’t have the bad habit of pushing and kicking people in his sleep, otherwise no one would make him happy if he kicked her to death.

The more I watched, the happier I was, but I still didn’t wake up. Looking at An Ruochen’s sleeping face, Long Da suddenly felt moved, took off two flowers, and pinned them gently in her hair. Quite good looking. Pick a few more flowers and don’t go up. This makes the face more colorful. It’s a pity that the other half of the head is pressed down, Long Da continued to put flowers on An Ruochen’s head while thinking, accidentally put too many flowers, just about to pick a few flowers and adjust them, An Ruochen suddenly moved.

Long Da hurriedly turned his hands away, coughed lightly, An Ruochen opened his eyes, saw the person in front of him clearly, and exclaimed in surprise: “General, you are back.”

“That’s right.” Long Da said seriously, “I heard that you ate too little for dinner.”

An Ruochen rubbed his eyes, and said in a soft voice after waking up, “I’m waiting for the general. If the general comes back and has nothing to eat, I’ll eat with the general.”

Long laughed and pinched her face, his wife’s face is really easy to pinch. “I’ve had my meal. Are you hungry? I’ll ask them to prepare some more.”

An Ruochen shook her head hurriedly, the military camp was always worried about delaying the official business of the military men. “General, I have something to discuss with you.” An Ruochen pulled Longda to sit down.

“En.” Long Da sat down. He knew that An Ruochen had gone to see Lu Zheng today, and he was still thinking about how to criticize her tactfully. Since she wanted to mention it herself, it was just right.

What An Ruochen said was indeed about meeting Lu Zheng. She said everything she had said to Lu Zheng and what Lu Zheng had explained to her. At the end, he said: “General, you said that you have sent General Jiang back to Zhonglan City to take charge of the affairs. Does that mean that there is no serious danger, can I go back? There are still many things to do there, I want to go back.”

“What is there to do?”

“To deal with Brother Tian’s funeral, to rectify Li Changshi’s name, to ensure the safety of Aunt Lu’s whereabouts, and to take back my fourth sister, plus my second sister’s poison, we must find an antidote. If there is such a medicine, Lu Zheng will If you didn’t bring it with you, it must be in Zhonglan City. There is also the Lu Bo that Lu Zheng mentioned, we have to check.”

“Why do you have to investigate?” Long Da asked again.

An Ruochen opened his mouth, but couldn’t answer.

Long Da said again: “If I asked you this question when I first rescued you, you would probably be able to give several reasons. Now, do you know why you can’t answer it?”

An Ruochen shut up, because the present is not what it used to be, and it’s not because of her.

“At that time, you were the only person who fought against Matchmaker Xu. You were the witness and the target, so you are better than others when you handle things. But now that you have a different status, it’s not your turn to investigate Lu Bo. “Long Da patiently said: “Didn’t I tell you that I have made arrangements?”

“Yes.” An Ruochen agreed, but she was still worried.

Long Dao: “When I was young and a forward general, I was the one who opened the way in the first battle. I led the people, faced the enemy head-on, and fought a **** road for the army behind to enter the city. Later, I became the chief general , then ordered the forward and rear guards, and arranged the formation strategy. In the future, I will be a general, and I will fight fewer battles. Maybe it is like this now, just sitting in the tent and talking. Maybe it is with my generals Discussing the military situation, maybe negotiating with the enemy generals. Battles still have to be fought, but when I need to do it myself, it must be a very, very important and tough battle.”

Long Da looked into An Ruochen’s eyes and said, “Do you understand what I mean?”

An Ruochen nodded.

“The identity is different, and the things you do are also different. It seems that you are getting more and more free, but it is actually getting more and more difficult. Because you make more decisions, and these decisions have a greater impact.” Long Da asked An Ruochen : “You are the general’s wife now, do you know what the general’s wife needs to do?”

An Ruochen didn’t know, she frowned at Long Da, thinking that if the general said the answer was “serving the general”, she would not be able to refute, but she would feel uncomfortable. Long Dao: “The general’s wife wants to share weal and woe with the general, and help the general solve problems together.”

An Ruochen’s eyes glowed, and he looked at Long Da with admiration. General, you are so eloquent, no wonder your reputation spread far and wide, you could write a book “New Biography of General Dragon”.

“At this time, you should ask what problem to solve with the general.” Long Da gently reminded.

An Ruochen hurriedly asked obediently: “General, what problem are we going to solve together?” She thought she knew, didn’t she just capture Lu Bo, interrogate Lu Zheng, find the antidote for the second sister, capture the teacher, and let The fourth sister went home, robbed Qian Pei, found evidence to clear the prefect’s grievances, exposed the true colors of Qian Shixin and King Hui, and sought justice for those who died unjustly, ended the war, and restored peace between the two countries. Look, she really knows everything, but she is a good wife, let the general tell her about it again.

Looking at An Ruochen’s expression, Long Da knew that she had a lot of ideas in her head, so he asked again: “I just said, what does the general do?”

“Fighting tough battles, and sitting in the tent to chat.” An Ruochen answered quickly.

Long Da poked her on the forehead: “What are you talking about? Decisions are thousands of miles away.”

“Okay, the general makes decisions for thousands of miles.” An Ruochen used the flattering tone quite skillfully.

“So the general’s wife must not be running errands.” Long said.

An Ruochen’s face collapsed. Meaning she used to be an errand runner? Well, there is nothing unconvinced, she was really an errand runner in the past, she was in charge, and she still wanted to continue running errands now. An Ruochen understood what the general meant, but she didn’t have the ability to make decisions for thousands of miles, so she thought it was suitable for her to run errands.

“Also, although not all of the things I ordered you are like this, there must be some important reasons for some particularly important things. For example, I told you not to go to see Lu Zheng, but I also briefly explained to you You agreed for a reason, but today you went against my wishes and went to see him privately.”

An Ruochen argued: “That’s because the general is not here today. I am thinking about Brother Tian’s whereabouts. Someone should know whether he is alive or dead, and where the body is. The general also said last night that he has not been interrogated from Lu Zheng.” Come to think of it, I just wanted to test it out…”

“You violated my authority.”

An Ruochen was stunned, speechless. She wanted to say but at least she found some clues, but she didn’t dare to contradict Long Da.

“Lu Zheng joined the army. He listened to military orders and obeyed military prestige. He is a spy, but the influence of these trainings is still there. I ordered people to tie him to the school grounds and torture him for interrogation. It was also to show the soldiers. This is how soldiers end up. Lu Zheng was humiliated in front of his former comrades, which made him suffer more than being tortured. He has survived for a few days. He is a man. You have your own calculations, and these calculations can only be obtained by submitting to me and giving clues. Including if he wants to blackmail you or bargain with you, he has to go through me. This is negotiation, and it is a bargaining chip.”

An Ruochen bit her lip, she made up her own mind, let Lu Zheng take the lead, and the general lost his bargaining chip.

“So now that Lu Zheng got his wish, he must be very satisfied and happy. What he can reveal to you, Lu Bo, can naturally also reveal to me. What clues can be given, what information can’t be revealed, you think he has no idea?”

“I was wrong.” An Ruochen was very sad, and the joy of asking for clues disappeared. Lu Zheng asked her to tell the general that he would only reveal the news to her in the future, and he presumably planned to do so. It broke the general’s authority and made it difficult for the general to use it on his side. These are indeed caused by her ignorance.

Looking at her expression, Long Da sighed: “It’s because I didn’t teach you before, you don’t know, it’s good to understand now. It’s not a big mistake, but you also asked something, at least we know whether Lu Zheng is People from Great Xiao, he has to marry a wife and get naturalized to mix into the army, so he might be from South Qin. As for Lu Bo, I will ask Jiang Song and Gu Wenda to investigate separately.”

Long Da paused, seeing that An Ruochen was still listless, he coaxed her: “Okay, haven’t you made it clear? Maybe in two days, Lu Bo will be captured, and Qian Pei is still there. Can we interrogate her?” A lot of clues came out.”

“General.” An Ruochen said: “You go and tell Lu Zheng in a while, if you do a little trick, he will say everything, everything is just as you expected.”

Long laughed, is this to pretend that An Ruochen was sent there on purpose? “It’s good to **** him off like this, I still want to keep alive.”

An Ruochen smiled through tears: “General, don’t tease me.”

When she smiled, Long Dashi also became happy, rubbed her face, and still liked her happy appearance.

“The general is always dishonest, and sometimes I can’t guess whether the general’s words are true or not.”

Long Da sternly said: “This is sophistry, isn’t it. This general has always been serious and speaks clearly.”

“I don’t know the rules in the army. The general should teach me more. The general is busy, so I can ask the guards to stop me. If I can’t do anything, just teach them not to let me do it.”

“How can I do that? I don’t ask them to do that because you also need authority. You are my wife, so why don’t you still have to be pointed out by them to not allow this or that?”

“But I’m ignorant, and I embarrass the general.”

“How could it be?” General Long An Ruochen put his arms in his arms: “Everyone in the army does not know that this general’s wife is beautiful and smart, intelligent and brave, and is very much loved by this general.”

An Ruochen pursed her lips tightly to hold back her laughter, feeling that General Long said such disgusting love words in such an authoritative tone, it was really—too delightful.

“General.” An Ruochen saw the bowl of flowers on the table. “Why are there flowers on the table?” It’s so ugly, who would put flowers in a sea bowl, and many flower branches are bald.

Long Da looked at her expression and eyes, cleared his throat and said: “The soldiers were playing around on the way back today. They dug up a lot of flowers and said they would plant them in front of the camp, so I just pulled some from the front of the camp and brought them back to you. Look.”

An Ruochen laughed, everyone still likes to grow flowers. “It’s pretty.” She comforted the general.

Long Da nodded: “Well, I will return it to them tomorrow and let them plant it back again. By the way, since we are talking about business, I have to talk to you carefully.”

An Ruochen sat up straight from his arms, and the topic jumped to the business again, so she listened carefully.

Long Da said solemnly: “I just said that the key is to make a long-distance decision.”

An Ruochen nodded, she didn’t run errands, she remembered. If you want to run, run the key legs.

“So we have to judge and deal with it in a timely manner based on the implementation of the plan. If the plan goes well, the Emperor of Nanqin will come here, and Lord Liang will also come. If the plan does not go well, the Emperor of Nanqin will not be able to come, and Lord Liang will also come. ”

“Master Liang is the key point?” An Ruochen asked.

Long Da nodded, and said in a low voice: “If the Emperor of Nanqin can’t come, it will be a little more troublesome. Because King Hui won half of the victory, and he ascends to the throne of Nanqin, things will be more difficult. But we still have a chance.”

“Are we going to help the Southern Qin Emperor regain the throne?”

“Of course not. If the Southern Qin Emperor cannot come, it means he is dead.”

An Ruochen was startled.

“The affairs of other countries, the emperors of other countries, have nothing to do with us. But King Hui has his accomplices in seizing power. He won the throne, what did his accomplices get? This has nothing to do with us. This is not our border. Qian Shixin is just a pawn, not to mention a county magistrate, but a prefect, how can he be able to find his way out? The biggest crisis is in the capital.”

Beijing? That’s a long way off. An Ruochen listened carefully to Long Da’s analysis of the situation and his arrangements, and finally understood what it means to make a long-distance decision.

An Ruochen was seizing the opportunity to ask questions, but heard a guard report from outside the tent: “General, a carrier pigeon has arrived.”

An Ruochen hurriedly jumped up, ran to the tent at a flattering speed, opened the tent door for Long Da with a respectful and humble attitude as a wife, and announced in a crisp voice, “General, the guards are here.”

Long Da couldn’t stop him, so he had to watch An Ruochen open the door eagerly, and meet the guard outside the door.

Seeing An Ruochen, the guard dropped the small letterbox in his hand to the ground with a “snap”, his face was terrified and he was stunned.

An Ruochen didn’t know why, so she just subconsciously looked down at the letter box. With this bow, a small flower floated down and landed beside the letter box. An Ruochen stared blankly at the flower, touched her head, and touched the flower on half of her head.

One grab is a handful.

An Ruochen stared at the flowers in her hands, and looked at the general suspiciously. Long Da looked innocent, and the guards outside the door were even more innocent.

An Ruochen touched the flowers on her head again and understood. She sighed, turned to the frightened guard and said, “I’m trying to make the general happy, thank you for your hard work, is this the letter?”

The guard nodded.

An Ruochen didn’t expect any normal reaction from him, she knelt down to pick up the letter, and asked the guard kindly: “Is there anything else?”

The guard shook his head blankly.

An Ruochen smiled dignifiedly: “Thank you, you have worked hard. Trust me and take it to the general.”

The guard nodded again blankly.

An Ruochen continued to smile. The authority of the general, she has worked so hard to maintain it.

After the tent door was closed, An Ruochen turned to look at Long Da.

Long Da spread his hands, with an innocent expression on his face, and said, “Since it’s an emergency military report, let me read it quickly.”

Can I not give it? An Ruochen stuffed the letter into Long Da’s hand with a straight face. Long Da opened it, and there was only a horizontal line on the letter. An Ruochen ignored him and turned to look for the mirror. While looking for it, I stared at the ugly bowl of flowers, no wonder there are a bunch of bald flower branches, no wonder!

An Ruochen couldn’t laugh or cry in the mirror, he really wanted to beat the general on his leg. After picking all the flowers, he turned around and saw Long Da’s smile.

An Ruochen smirked back at him, General, you have the nerve to smile.

Long Da laughed outright, and came over to hug An Ruochen into his arms. “Ma’am.” Long Da asked her, “Have I ever praised your beauty?”

An Ruochen was upset.

Long Da whispered in her ear: “Madam, the Emperor of Nanqin has been rescued. They are rushing here.”

Does that mean the general’s plan succeeded? An Ruochen was overjoyed. Standing up straight, Long Dayi pecked on his lips, he said: “I’ll make arrangements, someone has to come and meet me.”

Long Damei walked out happily, halfway picked a flower and turned back, and put it on An Ruochen’s temples, “It’s pretty good to wear only one, really.” After speaking, he ran away quickly.

An Ruochen stared at his back, but couldn’t see it anymore, then turned to the mirror and adjusted the position of the flower: “This way it looks good, idiot.”

Cao Yihan panted heavily, and supported Emperor Dezhao to run desperately: “Your Majesty, work harder, you will be fine after crossing this mountain.”

Emperor Dezhao’s feet were weak, and he almost fell to the ground with Cao Yihan. He gritted his teeth and stood up, unable to speak, so he had to run after Cao Yihan.

Suddenly a person jumped out from the side, it was Xie Gang, he shouted in a low voice: “Don’t call him the emperor, call him Shunzi.”

Cao Yihan didn’t dare to refute, but he didn’t dare to call Shunzi either. Shunzi was Emperor Dezhao’s personal eunuch. He ran with them at first, but was killed by an arrow on the way. In order to deceive others, they hurriedly made Qin Dezhao and Shunzi exchange clothes, and then pushed Shunzi’s body into the river.

Sure enough, after that, someone shouted that Emperor Dezhao was shot by an arrow, and someone shouted to get the corpse quickly so that he could go back and explain, and even more people shouted to continue chasing him, don’t leave anyone alive.

Cao Yihan obeyed Xie Gang’s instructions and dragged the emperor towards the hill. Xie Gang and the others are not many, there are only eight of them, it is not known how many will be left in this scuffle. Seeing that Xie Gang had appeared now, Cao Yihan felt a little more at ease, at least Master Xie was still there, if he was the only one left, he was not sure that he would be able to take the emperor out safely. Now who are King Hui’s people and who are loyal to the emperor, he can’t tell.

Emperor Dezhao couldn’t tell why his own soldiers wanted to kill him, but Da Xiao’s soldiers wanted to kill him.

The night quickly wrapped the mountain forest, and the moonlight could not see clearly. Emperor Dezhao felt that his face was wet, but he didn’t know whether it was tears or blood. Everything happened so suddenly, completely by surprise.

He just received Dongling’s envoys last night, and that group of soldiers will come to greet Dongling with the will of King Dongling as a show of respect, and express that Dongling will spare no effort to fight against Xiao , never retreat.

Emperor Dezhao was deeply moved, and immediately rewarded him with swords and jade to show his gratitude for the alliance. After the banquet, he came back to Defang, only to see Cao Yihan. He was surprised, thinking that Cao Yihan had already gone with Huo Mingshan.

Cao Yihan took out the letter written by Huo Mingshan himself, saying that everything was a conspiracy by King Hui. The royal conquest was also a trick of King Hui. Cao Yihan said that he had gone through twists and turns to see the emperor, and King Hui’s eyes and ears were everywhere, so he should not take it lightly.

Emperor Dezhao read the letter and fell into deep thought. The pain caused by the news of Huo Mingshan’s death has long since passed, and now he has to ponder over his teachings during his lifetime. King Hui wanted to seize the throne, but he was afraid that his reputation would not be right, and he would fall into the situation that his officials were attacking five years ago, so he lured him out of the palace and started fighting outside? Give him the reputation of dying on the battlefield? Since he died in battle, and his emperor’s son was young, the imperial power naturally fell into the hands of the emperor’s uncle.

“But now that I’ve come here, how do I turn back?” Emperor Dezhao asked Cao Yihan, “Six thousand soldiers on the front line fell into Da Xiao’s hands, and I abandoned them, how do I turn back?”

“Your Majesty.” Cao Yihan said according to Xie Gang’s explanation: “Your Majesty can order the army to continue marching, and let people pretend to be the Emperor to continue walking with the army. And the Emperor will quietly go to Shilingya with us on the other way. General Long Teng hopes to meet the Emperor.”

Emperor Dezhao stopped him: “We? Who are you?”

Cao Yihan hesitated, but he still said that it was the Great General Xiao Longteng who sent someone willing to **** the emperor to Shilingya. Emperor Dezhao was furious immediately. Does he, the majestic Southern Qin Emperor, want to collude with the enemy generals and leave the army privately? When the news spread, it was not necessary for King Hui to send someone to kill him, the army, civilians, and ministers all had to attack him. Emperor Dezhao immediately shouted, there are 30,000 troops around him, if Long Teng wants to meet, he will meet at Shi Lingya.

“For the sake of Mr. Huo, I won’t kill you. But you don’t want to appear in front of me again.” Emperor Dezhao drove Cao Yihan out. Afterwards, eunuchs and guards were summoned to question, but no one found out how Cao Yihan got in.

Holding Huo Mingshan’s letter, Emperor Dezhao fell into a deep sleep near dawn. Near noon on the second day, everyone woke up from the hangover of the previous night and wanted to gather the team to continue to set off, only to find that Emperor Dezhao’s guards were all dead. Emperor De Zhao immediately thought of Cao Yihan who sneaked in, but General Ren Zhongshan, who led the team to protect him all the way, quarreled with Dongling’s mission. . The Dongling Mission naturally refused to admit it, and instead asked Nan Qin what he meant. After several quarrels, Ren Zhongshan drew his sword and yelled to protect the emperor, while killing the generals of the Dongling Mission.

Ren Zhongshan’s subordinates surrounded Emperor Dezhao, and then Emperor Dezhao suddenly understood what Cao Yihan said. King Hui really wanted to put him to death, but they didn’t mention killing him in the border battlefield.

Now is the time! It turned out to be his own Southern Qin general!

Emperor Dezhao yelled to make those people back down, but obviously they let Chongshan do it better. There are still some loyal guards and father-in-laws around Emperor Dezhao, but they are no opponents. At this time, Cao Yihan reappeared, bringing soldiers from the enemy country with him.

“Your Majesty.” Cao Yihan’s call woke up Emperor Dezhao, or he was awakened by the cold. He actually fell asleep in the mountains?

“Don’t call the emperor.” Xie Gang popped up again. Throw over two sets of clothes. Emperor Dezhao was still in a daze, Cao Yihan quickly changed his clothes. “My lord, we have to hurry up. If they find the corpse, they will know it’s not you.”

“Where are we going?” Emperor De Zhao finally spoke, and he found his voice hoarse.

“Shi Lingya, see General Long.” Xie Gang replied.

“how to get to?”

“I used to walk before I found the horse.” Xie Gang replied. When their horses fled, they ran desperately, but two legs were the most reliable.

Emperor Dezhao was tired, hungry and thirsty, Shi Lingya, it was so far away, and there were pursuers behind him. It’s a good answer.

“Your Majesty.” Cao Yihan called out.

“Don’t call me the emperor.” Xie Gang drank again. “If you can’t change it, I’ll beat you up.”

Cao Yihan pursed his lips: “Mr. Huang, Mr. Huo trusts General Long, so let’s trust him too.”

Xie Gang looked around, and a subordinate came out and gestured to him. Xie Gang buried the clothes that Cao Yihan and the others had changed, and said to them, “Let’s go.”

Cao Yihan was exhausted, but he still rallied to support Emperor Dezhao, followed Xie Gang with one foot deep and the other shallow, and ran forward. From the left and right back, three people jumped out, protecting them in three directions, and heading towards Shilingya together.

“Your Majesty, work harder. Oh, don’t hit me.” Cao Yihan felt wronged.

It took a while. “Your Majesty, you can rest soon. Oops.” Xie Gang patted Cao Yihan’s head again.

Wait a while. “Your majesty… lord… Oops, hit again. Didn’t you change your mind?” Cao Yihan was so tired that he wanted to die, so wronged that he simply burst into tears, “The emperor hit me, the emperor came to me, woo woo…” Weeping and procrastinating Run with Emperor Dezhao.

Emperor Dezhao looked pale, if he didn’t have the energy to speak, he really wanted to beg Xie Gang to beat Cao Yihan until he stopped crying, it was really too noisy to cheer up.
