Chapter 117 Good Errand
Deng Ming felt a little guilty. He knew clearly that the group of killers were coming for the general, but he didn't stop them in time.
With a guilty look on his face, he said, "I'm sorry, General."
"What's wrong with you? It's the old man's carelessness. It has nothing to do with you." Old General Lin Xiong still had a warm expression on his face.
"Needless to say, what's going on in the army now." Lin Xiong wanted to sit up, but the captain next to him hurriedly helped him up.
Hearing this, Deng Ming and the captain's expressions were a bit ugly.
Seeing the changes in their expressions, Lin Xiong raised his head slightly and said, "What's wrong?"
"There is no news from Liangcheng so far, and there is neither food nor support." Deng Ming was a little difficult to speak.
"It's impossible for Liangcheng to have no news. Even if there is no support, I will let you know. I'm afraid the news hasn't arrived."
Deng Ming and the captain looked at each other. They also knew that although Liangcheng's guards were small but capable, even if they did not support them, they would show other signs.
But this time there was no letter, which was very strange.
If it was the entire Dajing Dynasty, who most hoped that the border town could be defended?Liangcheng can rank first, and other places can't even rank second.
After all, Liangcheng was also the most wealthy in the entire Dajing Dynasty. If the border city was destroyed, Liangcheng would definitely not be able to escape the poisonous hands.
"Send a reliable person to Liangcheng to spread the news." The faint pain from the wound made Ling Xiang's attention gradually dissipate.
Looking at the sleepy Lin Xiong, the two of them couldn't bear to continue talking.
But this is related to the life and death of all soldiers, so we can only continue to talk about it.
But Deng Ming was still unable to speak. This was a serious crime of beheading, and no one could be held responsible.
Lin Xiong braced himself, looked at Deng Ming who was hesitant to speak in front of him, and started to joke.
"What's going on these days? You actually learned how to be coy. Tell me!"
"I want the army to retreat to the border town."
Lin Xiong looked straight at Deng Ming, "You didn't come up with this idea, right? You can't come up with such an idea."
"Tell me, who came up with the idea."
"Prime Minister He Qingfeng's second son, now goes to the barracks to practice and take up the post of captain."
"Cough cough cough." Lin Xiong put his fist to his mouth and coughed, making his pale face even weaker.
"General." The two of them rushed forward and looked at Lin Xiong who was coughing.
Lin Xiong gently pushed the hands of the two away, his face remained calm, "It's okay, I can last a little longer."
"As expected of the former prime minister, I thought I couldn't get up, but I didn't expect the He family to revive." There was a sneer on his face, and his mouth was merciless.
The relationship between myself and He Qingfeng is not good. In the court, civil and military confrontation is the most common.
What's more, he can fight in the court, but it has to be said that He Qingfeng is not a simple character.
Turning to look at the two of them, he threw the question back again, "Do you think this method is feasible?"
Deng Ming and the captain looked at each other and nodded slightly.
It was undeniable that they had not thought about He Xuan's idea, but they had always kept it in mind. They were just worried about being punished by the emperor.
But now, so many soldiers have neither enough food nor clothing to keep warm. How can they continue to fight against foreign countries?
You know, Fanbang is a nomadic people, the most powerful, how can the soldiers fight against them?
Lin Xiong closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.
"I'll send someone to notify the border town later and set off tomorrow. If nothing happens, go down."
"Yes, General."
Lin Xiong's eyes were tightly closed, and he opened them slowly when the tent was empty, and sighed deeply.
He has only one daughter in his life, and he is married to an ordinary soldier. Is it possible that the emperor is still worried that his achievements will overwhelm his master?
The captain who had just stepped out of the tent said, "Come here, Captain Qujiang Hexuan is here."
"Yes." The soldier quickly left after hearing the order.
"You plan to let him go to Liangcheng to deliver a message. Do you know how dangerous it is?" Deng Ming looked at the captain in shock.
The captain chuckled, "It's dangerous. He should have thought of it when he planned to come to the military camp. This is not a place for them to play."
Deng Ming still couldn't bear it. After all, he had just entered the military camp and sent him to deliver the message.
You must know that the sentinel they sent to deliver the message has not yet returned. I thought it was the snowstorm in the past few days that delayed the time to return to the city.
But usually it only takes three days to come and go, but today is already the 6th day. Not only did the sentry not come back, but there was no news from Liangcheng.
I'm afraid something has happened.
"We can't let him die in vain, and it will add to the conflict with He Qingfeng." When Deng Ming said this, his language was a bit harsh.
The captain suddenly stopped and turned to look at Deng Ming.
"What? Am I wrong?"
The captain sighed helplessly and explained to Deng Ming, "I usually say that you are careless, but you still don't believe it. Look, there are 11 people following him. Except for Li Yang who went to study poisons, there are ten others. He looks ordinary, but the killing intent in his eyes cannot be stopped."
"Those 10 people are not good people, and they are more than enough to send messages, not to mention who in our barracks can spare time to send messages."
Deng Ming was speechless when he said this. What Lao Zheng said did make sense. They could indeed retreat to the border town during this festival, but it was not a long-term solution.
He shouted a little irritably, "Okay, okay, just as you said, don't forget to tell those who have to be told, I should go to preside over the departure." After speaking, he left in a hurry.
Zheng Yan looked at his appearance and shook his head helplessly. He also knew that sending He Xuan was a bit risky.
But now they not only have to be on guard against Fanbang's attack at all times, but also return to the border town carefully.
He Xuan looked like a frail scholar, but the ten guards behind him were as powerful as Deng Ming.
The letter will definitely be delivered to Liangcheng successfully. Deng Ming also knows that this is the best arrangement, but he is worried that He Xuan will die just like that.
When He Xuan received this order, he was a little surprised. He thought that only someone they trusted would dare to rely on the matter of delivering the letter.
I didn’t expect that this errand would actually fall on me. In that case, let’s set off.
He Xuan took the people away in a hurry, and did not forget to leave a person with a little medical knowledge to monitor Li Yang.
He was afraid that Li Yang would sneakily kill old General Lin Xiong while he was delivering the letter, and then he would not only pay his wife, but also several concubines.
Less than six hours after entering the military camp, He Xuan led others out again.
The soldier guarding the gate couldn't help scoffing at their backs in a hurry.
He secretly slandered in his heart, how could this noble young master run so fast, could it be that he was afraid?
These young men are running so fast. Is there going to be a big battle?
In the past few times, Fan Bang had not only formally called back to the door, but also sent people to harass him the rest of the time.
Looking at the back of this noble young master, I feel more or less uncomfortable. These noble young masters can leave whenever they want, and they don't have to worry about someone punishing them.
And their small crime is a life.
