Empress Fenghua

Chapter 79
After marching for many days, it happened to be rainy again.The mountain road along the way was very muddy, and the soldiers were exhausted one by one, Hua Zhong frowned and looked into the distance.Ye Yongjia's silver armor seemed spotless, shining forever.

Ye Yongjia looked at Hua Zhong with a haggard face, and the soldiers behind him were already complaining.I couldn't help feeling a little worried, and asked tentatively, "Hua Zhong, why don't you stop and take a rest, I see that all the soldiers are exhausted! You should also take a good rest!"

Hua looked back, looked sharply at the soldiers behind her, and shook her head, "No way! The journey is long and the weather is bad. Only by arriving at the destination quickly can we be safe. If we stop the army at this moment to rest, the soldiers will definitely Once you feel at ease, it will be difficult to leave quickly!"

Ling Yun beside Ye Yongjia frowned, and said in a low voice, "County Lord, now is not the time to be quick, the martial arts of the subordinates have always been better than the soldiers below, and now even I am exhausted, how can I be strong?" Victory in Xiaoyao Village?"

Hua Zhong's sharp eyes swept towards Ling Yun, and the whip in his hand ruthlessly lashed towards Ling Yun's back, leaving a bloodstain on Ling Yun's body with a bang.Ling Yun couldn't help gritted his teeth and looked at Hua Zhong in pain, "What does the county lord mean?"

Hua Zhong sneered and looked at Ling Yun's eyes full of unwillingness, "Now that you are injured, can you still destroy Xiaoyao Village for King Yong?"

"Even if this subordinate dies, he will clear Xiaoyao Village for His Royal Highness!" Ling Yun said firmly, his eyes glowed with loyalty.

"People are lazy. Now you can move, but they can't, so they should be beaten!" Hua Zhong's eyes were cold, "And now that you are injured and can march, it is fair to them. Now Do you have any worries?"

Ling Yun lowered her head and said, "This subordinate is guilty!"

Hua Zhong snorted coldly, "Is there anyone else who can't walk? The county lord doesn't mind giving you a few more whips!"

No one responded, and everyone bowed their heads in silence, but there was a hint of anger in their hearts.Gritting his teeth and bearing it, even His Royal Highness Yongwang listens to her, the county lord, what can these lieutenants and soldiers do?
The sharp rain revealed the chill of autumn, and Ning Liuchen's blue figure rode his horse back and forth among the soldiers, rushing towards Huazhong.Arriving at Huazhong's side, the horse's hooves let out a long howl, stopped, and circled a few times on the spot.

Ning Liuchen looked solemn, "The soldiers behind are exhausted, and they are all lying in the muddy water unwilling to get up. They say they won't leave!"

The lieutenant general in front frowned, his dark skin was glowing, and his appearance was rough, as if he had been marching and fighting for many years. "Prince Yong and the county lord may have to stop the army to rest now! The emperor sent a total of [-] troops, but the skills and equipment are not as good as King Cong's elite soldiers. If this continues..."

Ye Yongjia lowered his head and frowned, raised his eyes to look at Hua Zhong.Hua Zhong's eyes looked back, a little blurred and cold in the drizzle.

The lieutenant general thought that Huazhong was not good enough to go back on his word, so he quickly said with a smile, "Actually, the county master doesn't need to worry. It took more than half a month for King Cong's army to go, and we have just spent less than half the time now. Return triumphantly more quickly!"

Hua took a heavy look at the lieutenant general, with a rough appearance and sincere eyes, like a honest and loyal person.Hua Zhong asked, "What's your name?"

"The last general Song Mingdong!" The man clasped his fists respectfully.

"Song Mingdong?" The corners of Hua Zhong's mouth curled up into a smile, "You and Ling Yun followed the county lord to go to the rear to check, Ning Liuchen protected His Royal Highness King Yong, and everyone else kept their duties, so there must be no mistakes!"

"Yes!"

Ye Yongjia stepped forward to grab Hua Zhong's rein, and said in a low voice, "Hua Zhong, you are..."

Hua Zhong raised his head to look at Ye Yongjia's close face. Although his skin was still fair, he looked haggard and worried. "Yongjia don't have to worry! I, Ning Huazhong, will definitely let you return in triumph!"

After finishing speaking, Hua gave a big shout and drove the horse forward.The three of them turned around the bend in the mountain road and came to the rear of the march, and saw a large number of soldiers lying, sitting, lying on their stomachs or leaning on the mountain wall, crooked and distorted.

Hua Zhong glanced at the crowd, only to find that there was a man in the middle of the soldiers standing there upright.Hua Zhong smiled slightly, with some interest.Ce Ma looked at this man with bronze skin and resolute lines on his face, a pair of piercing eyes shining with firm light, and a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows with a bit of heroism.It is completely the image of a tough guy, but there is a bit of twinkle between the brows.

The corner of Hua Zhong's mouth curled up, and he pointed at him with a whip, "What's your name?"

The man replied loudly, "It belongs to Zhou Yiwei!"

Hua Zhong fiddled with the horsewhip in his hand, and said with a smile, "Zhou Yiwei? Good name! My county lord asks you, why don't you lie down or sit for a while like them, but stand here upright, waiting The county lord is here?"

Zhou Yiwei replied in a loud voice, "The general didn't let him rest, and his subordinates dare not act without authorization. And this is where the subordinates are in the team, and they dare not stand at the front with other soldiers. As a soldier, you must know that the military discipline is strict, The military order is like a mountain! The subordinates dare not disobey!"

Hua Zhong couldn't help smiling, and leaned over to look at Zhou Yiwei with some inquiring thoughts, "The county lord knows that the other soldiers lying on the ground are just because they disobey the county lord's rule and look down on me as a woman, why do you treat the county lord? Respectful?"

Zhou Yiwei snorted coldly, and the eyes in his smile gleamed brightly, "What a man can do is not necessarily something a woman can't do! Zhou Yiwei was born in poverty, but he has a heart of loyalty to the emperor, patriotism and great cause. Although the county lord is a woman, she is resourceful and resourceful. , martial arts riding and archery may not be equal to men. You must know that a hero does not ask where he came from!"

Hua Zhong couldn't help laughing, he didn't expect that among the three thousand soldiers, there were such kind-hearted people!Hua Chong smiled and said, "What Zhou Yiwei said is true. Every time a hero slaughters more dogs, a chivalrous woman has been born in the world since ancient times. If you really have the ability, why do you need to talk about high or low birth, male or female?"

Hua Zhong glanced at the crowd, his eyes were cold, "Are you sure you won't leave today?"

A man leaning on the mountain wall said disdainfully, "The county lord is walking in front and riding a horse, so he doesn't know the hard work of the brothers behind. Our shoes and socks have long been wet with muddy water. If we continue walking like this, I'm afraid the soles of my feet are soaked, how can I suppress the bandits?"

As if responding to everyone, the soldiers around were shouting, and there was a sudden chaos.Hua Zhong sneered, the aura around her was icy cold, like a demon walking out of hell.Hua slapped heavily, and the whip made a loud sound on the stone wall, and the stone fell into pieces.Everyone couldn't help being surprised, they all looked at Hua Zhong silently.

Hua Zhong rode his horse around for a few laps, "Now the county lord said for the last time, if you want to continue to follow the army, you should stand up for the county lord immediately. If you still don't want to go, then continue to lie down! The county lord will give Your last chance!"

The group of people hesitated for a moment, some in twos and threes stood up crookedly, and the rest were still lying on the ground like dead bodies.

Hua Zhong was silent for a moment, with a cold and sharp light in his eyes, and a bloodthirsty smile on the corner of his mouth, "Song Mingdong!"

"The last general is here!" Song Mingdong's steady voice sounded behind Hua Zhong.

Hua Zhong snorted coldly, "The remaining soldiers lying on the ground will be dealt with by military law, and none will be left behind!"

Everyone was in an uproar, looking at Hua Zhong in disbelief, of course there was also disdain in it...

Song Mingdong took a deep breath, "Master, there are probably more than 100 people left...Isn't this appropriate?"

Hua Zhong looked at Song Mingdong with sharp eyes, "What's inappropriate? Soldiers are more valuable than many! It's useless to keep this group of idiots. Killing one to scare the others!"

Song Mingdong gritted his teeth, "Yes!"

Suddenly, some of those people got up in fright and shouted, "The county lord, spare your life! The county lord, spare your life! This subordinate knows his mistake!"

The man who was leaning on the stone wall before was still sitting there with a sneer, "I don't believe that you can kill me. I have marched for 20 years. There is no credit but hard work. How could you be a little girl who killed me at will? Don't scare me!"

Hua Zhong smiled contemptuously, and looked at the group of soldiers who came back later, "Are you sure you can keep up with the army? If there is another time, I will kill you!"

"This subordinate is guilty! This subordinate is guilty!" All the soldiers quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

The man leaning on the stone wall looked at them with disdain, "Bah! I'm worthless..."

Hua Zhong snorted coldly, "Song Mingdong, then transfer all those who stand up to the rear armaments, and are not allowed to participate in the actual combat against bandits. Those who still haven't stood up, kill without mercy!" Hua Zhong glanced at Zhou Yiwei again , "Zhou Yiwei, can you still walk? Are your feet soaked in mud?"

Zhou Yiwei sneered, "There is nothing impossible to do in the world, I'm afraid I won't be determined! Not only can my subordinates keep up with the army, but they can also go faster than the army!"

Hua Zhong smiled and said, "Okay!"

Hua Zhong reined in his horse and rode away, splashing muddy water.

Song Mingdong stayed where he was, frowned and looked at Ling Yun in embarrassment, "Lieutenant Ling Yun, what should I do?"

Ling Yun's eyes were sharp, but they were full of excitement, "The order of Gaoyi County Lord is a military order, so it is natural to kill without mercy!"

Since then, no one dared to make trouble in the army, and within a few days, he arrived in Jingzhou smoothly and quickly, and set up camp...
