Playful Queen

Chapter 191

Outside Yancheng, the Jin army set up camp at Yanqi Mountain Pass.

The bright moon rises high in the mountains, and the clear silver light is like frost and snow, sprinkled all over the peaks and peaks of the barracks, patrolling soldiers criss-crossing and shuttling, and the guards are very strict.

In the tent right now, discussions are under way for tomorrow's battle, and this battle is related to whether the lost Yuncheng can be captured.

The first seat, Xia Xuanlie, wore a black military uniform, with a gloomy expression, and stared coldly at the military newspaper in his hand. The four around him were the four lieutenants of his right-wing army, and two other lieutenants of the left-wing army. Afterwards, Xia Xuanlie was temporarily in command, and they followed Xia Xuanlie for the time being, but their hearts were always full of hatred for the commander's death. Tomorrow, no matter what, they had to take back Yuncheng and regard death as home.

However, before the battle, there was another imminent matter waiting for them to deal with.

"General, the military rations were robbed halfway this time. Since the day before yesterday, our soldiers have not had food for two days." Chi Yang, one of the deputy generals of the right-wing army, was the first to speak, wearing blue armor with a dignified expression.

"If this continues, the soldiers will become more and more tired."

"General Xia, no matter what, the soldiers of our left-wing army will avenge General Shen!" Qian Shuo, the left-wing army, had a deep hatred in his expression. After so many years of life and death with the general, he is already like a family. When he thinks of the enemy He was so angry that he was treated like this.

"General, absolutely not. Under such circumstances, sending troops rashly and forcing a fight may backfire." Another senior lieutenant general was not as excited as Qian Shuo. After thinking for a while, he said to Xia Xuanlie.

In fact, Xia Xuanlie is very clear in his heart. The hard work of the soldiers in the past two months, coupled with the blow of General Shen's death, the soldiers are already physically and mentally exhausted. Now that they don't even have food, they will feel even more depressed. The momentum in the army is getting worse day by day.

Thinking of this, Xia Xuanlie slapped the military newspaper on the table, and the atmosphere in the tent froze instantly.

At this time, a long announcement broke the stalemate in the tent, and a small soldier who announced hurriedly ran in, cupped his fists and said respectfully: "General Qi, there is a team of bodyguards outside the camp to deliver food to us." coming!"

Send food?Xia Xuanlie raised his eyes and looked at the person who came in to report, "Escort? Invite someone in!"

Although he doesn't know what's going on, sending food at this time is like sending charcoal in a timely manner. However, as a soldier of the country, he must ask clearly about such food sent for no reason. The several lieutenants all glanced at each other.

Soon, Tieniu in a black cotton robe came in under the leadership of the soldiers. He was bigger than anyone here, but his expression looked a bit naive. Seeing the figure of the master, I was very worried. Based on the time calculation, shouldn't the master have already arrived at the barracks?
Just as Tieniu was thinking, a deep voice came from above.

"Did you send those food?"

"Back to the general, the grass people are just escorts. The guests handed over the food to our bodyguard bureau and arranged for us to send it to the military camp outside Yancheng for General Xia. As for the rest, the grass people don't know anything about it." Since Tieniu took over the bodyguard bureau, he has never spoken. He was so rude before, and, in addition, these words were taught to him by the head of the family early in the morning, so he naturally answered fluently. However, it is really strange, how did the head of the house know that the general would ask himself such a question.

Asking the Escort to deliver the food to him made Xia Xuanlie even more curious, and raised his handsome eyebrows, "Who is the guest who asked you to deliver the food?"

"The grass people are just doing business. Of course, we can't say anything about the things that the guests need to keep secret. However, the guests have said it, please rest assured, the general, there will be absolutely no fraud in it. These are the wishes of the common people for you. I hope the general will get it back soon. Yuncheng, Jintian is peaceful."

It was very difficult for Tieniu to finish these words in one breath. He had said it countless times along the way, for fear that he would forget it for a while, and this was how he crackled like firecrackers and said all that he had confessed to him, and he finally let go. in one breath.

Although he was still worried, he had to admit how important the food was at this moment. He finally accepted the food and immediately sent an order to let the kitchen prepare it immediately so that the soldiers could fill their stomachs and prepare for tomorrow's retake The battle in Cloud City.

Tomorrow's battle, he must take back Yuncheng, and take Aoyun's body back to the capital!
At night, the wind howled.

Mengli, who was dressed in men's clothing, finally arrived at the barracks, but was stopped by soldiers as soon as he reached the door, and two soldiers with indifferent expressions looked him up: "What are you doing here!"

"I have an urgent matter with General Xia."

"Looking for General Xia? How can we meet General Xia just as soon as you say!" The soldier pushed the thin-looking man away unceremoniously, and said angrily, "Go, go! Don't mess around here. , or we will be impolite!"

"Just go and say that the person looking for him is Shen Mengli!"

Shen Mengli?Did he hear wrong?Xia Xuanlie frowned, unexpectedly hearing these three words, he turned towards
"What are you doing?" The tall body came over, the facial features as deep as a knife formed a rough and masculine face, wearing a dark black robe, the skirt was half opened, revealing bronze skin, and a broad chest looming Now, when the soldiers saw that it was General Xia, they immediately said respectfully: "General!"

Xia Xuanlie lowered his head to see clearly the man standing outside the barracks. In an instant, his entire face darkened, "You? Why are you!" The handsome face was clearly shocked. Although he was wearing a man's attire, he still glanced at him. I recognized it, it was Shen Mengli, no, it should be the empress!

Why did she come to the barracks!
Mengli looked at his surprised look, she must not know the news that she had left the palace. It seems that Zi Yechen has kept this matter a secret, but now she doesn't have the heart to think about it, she came to find him Xia Xuanlie naturally had more important matters, otherwise he would not have appeared so boldly.

Seeing the strange expression on the general's face, the soldiers on one side thought they had made some mistake again, so they immediately said, "General, this man said he wanted to find you, but..."

"Come with me!" Xia Xuanlie said coldly, interrupting the soldier's words, and the soldier immediately closed his mouth. It turned out that this man really knew General Xia, but they were all puzzled, this man looked so petite. Who will the person be?
Xia Xuanlie pulled Mengli into her military tent in a hurry, once inside, she put down all the curtains, then turned around, looked at Shen Mengli dressed by the man in front of her, countless questions came to her mind, she Why did she appear here, shouldn't she be in the palace?Could it be that something happened these days?
