Chapter 14 Sending off
A white figure suddenly rushed over from outside the military tent, and kicked the assassin to the side of the military tent, "Cao Chongli!" A roar of gritted teeth brought back Lin Chengyu's sanity, and Chen Jingyuan, who was wearing a white nightgown, was catching him and going down. Cao Xian fell down, while pressing on the various acupoints on his chest. "Military doctor, call the military doctor!" Lin Shengyu rushed to Cao Xian's side in panic, but couldn't make a move.The guards rushing in from outside the door were momentarily overwhelmed by what they saw, and someone heard Lin Shengyu's shout, and rushed out to bring the military doctor in.
Cao Xian was carried to the bed by Chen Jingyuan, and gave way to the military doctor for rescue.Seeing the blood gushing out after the dagger was pulled out, Lin Shengyu quickly soaked the gauze pressed on it, and she burst into tears with anxiety. "It didn't hit a vital point, it's not fatal." Chen Jingyuan patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, then turned his head to pick up Cao Chongli, who had just got up, but he missed it and slipped to the door.A group of guards looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing whether to arrest their boss or not.
"As the captain of the guard, do you want to assassinate the prince?" Chen Jingyuan asked coldly.
"Is it the prince I want to kill?" Cao Chongli pushed aside the guards blocking the door and walked out.
"What are you going to do at a time like this?" Chen Jingyuan frowned,
"What is he going to do? Is he going to ruin the prince's reputation? I can't stand it!" Cao Chongli went out, and after a while there was a sound of horseshoes and he went away. He thought he was walking alone, but no one stopped him.
Ruined the prince's reputation?Is it still my problem?In Lin Shengyu's not so clear mind, only these two questions left him, which made him very sad.
The military doctor was so busy until it was daylight that he stopped the bleeding and bandaged him. After explaining that he must not move casually, he left in a hurry.Cao Xian fell into a coma and did not wake up.After Chen Jingyuan made sure that Cao Xian's life would not be in danger, he left first. By the way, he called all the guards out and stood guard at the door, leaving only Lin Shengyu to take care of him in the tent.Lin Shengyu's mind was constantly focused on the military doctor's instructions, changing water, wiping, and wrapping medicine powder as required... Only when the military doctor left did he pull up a stool and sit down, staring closely at Cao Xian's pale face, his whole body once again Overwhelmed by palpitations of fear, as soon as he closed his eyes, he saw the scene of a long dagger piercing Cao Xian's chest.Although Cao Xian has been a domineering and aggressive person since he was a child, he has suffered a lot of injuries, he almost demolished the school because of his impulsiveness, and received family law, but this time, it was because he almost lost his life. Lin Chengyu couldn't accept it, and was so frightened that he trembled all over.
After sitting there for a long time, Lin Chengyu didn't do anything.Two hours later, the military doctor brought in a bowl of dark medicine, and the two of them helped Cao Xian to feed it.Afterwards, Chen Jingyuan came over to take a look and brought lunch casually.Only then did Lin Shengyu remember to change out of her pajamas, barely took two mouthfuls of food and couldn't eat anymore.The whole team could only rest on the spot first. Chen Jingyuan said that he entered the assassin and seriously injured the prince.Hearing that the prince who came to rescue the big guy was actually assassinated in the barracks, the eyes of the surviving soldiers of the Western Shu Army were all red, and they all asked for orders to hunt him down.Chen Jingyuan said that the assassin was highly skilled in martial arts, and he played insidious means, to appease everyone not to move around, and lost their lives for no reason.Cao Chongli was originally a bodyguard who followed the prince closely, and he rarely interacted with people on weekdays, and no one noticed for a while after he left.
All day, until night, Lin Shengyu stood beside the unconscious Cao Xian, fed medicine and water, and even helped change the medicine once at night, but she didn't want to eat or drink, even when dinner was brought. move.Fortunately, although the person did not wake up, he seemed to be breathing smoothly, the wound did not bleed anymore, and even the fever only started a little. The overall situation allowed him to rest a little bit. After the night fell, sleepiness hit him, and he couldn't help lying on the bed. Cao Xian fell asleep on his side.
When Lin Chengyu woke up, he heard voices next to him first.When he opened his eyes, he was delighted to see that Cao Xian had woken up and was talking to Chen Jingyuan half lying down.
"Take him away first, and go back to the camp together with the people from Xishu. Zhou Qiyi's three thousand soldiers and horses will also accompany you. He came from the former imperial guards and is under your command. If He Zhiyi dares to do something, You don't have to be polite."
"I'm worried that something will happen here, Your Highness?"
"What can I do here? He will be in some trouble here. It's better to leave earlier." Cao Xian turned his head and saw Lin Shengyu rubbing his eyes just woke up.
"Cheng Yu, I just agreed with Jing Yuan to let him take you back first, it's not good for you to stay here."
"Well, it's better for me to leave." Lin Chengyu replied in a low voice, but his head was lowered. The hot eye sockets must not be seen by others. It's too shameful. How can you be so sad?So selfish!Obviously leaving is the right thing to do, and Cao Xian was so tired that he almost died. Even if he didn't mention it, he should have left voluntarily and completely severed the relationship. This is the friendship you should have, Lin Shengyu.
"Chengyu——" Cao Xian looked at Lin Shengyu's buried head, sadly raised shoulders, his eyes were full of entanglement, his still pale and chapped lips opened and closed several times, and finally said nothing.
Chen Jingyuan went out and began to summon the generals of Xishu, preparing to leave for the camp before noon.After Lin Shengyu pulled himself together to help Cao Xian wash up, he fed him medicine and liquid food, while calmly talking about some past events between the two of them, and also talked about the situation as usual, trying to keep the last time they spent together as before.After eating, Cao Xian asked Lin Shengyu to sit up straighter, and put on his coat to cover the gauze covering his entire chest.After a while, Chen Jingyuan led Zhou Qiyi in. After Cao Xian told him to go first with Chen Jingyuan and might help Yu and He Zhiyi in the fight, Zhou Qiyi simply said "Design" and agreed. He is down, and he is willing to obey Chen Jingyuan's orders. As Cao Xian said, he is very obedient to Chen Jingyuan.
After the two left, Lin Shengyu also wanted to gather and prepare to set off.
"You know best. With my body, I can jump on the ground after only three to five days of injury. Don't worry too much." Before leaving, Cao Xian lay down comfortably, comforting Lin Chengyu with a smile.Lin Chengyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and if he said yes, he knew that you were very capable, but this time you were seriously injured, at least take it easy, the military doctor said that you can't move or you should not move.
In the middle of the noon, the team split out. Lin Shengyu followed the clerk at the end of the line, galloping on horseback. As the temporary camp behind him gradually moved away, he gradually collapsed. He shrank and hugged the reins tightly, letting go The horse followed.
At noon, when the army was resting for a while, Chen Jingyuan rode his horse back and forth to inspect. When he saw Lin Shengyu who was holding on to the dry food in a daze, he got off his horse and came over.Sitting next to him, he snatched the dry food from his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.Seeing that her rations were gone, Lin Shengyu turned to look at Chen Jingyuan, but there was no reaction, she turned back and continued to be in a daze.
"As for it? You don't think about food and drink, your face is pale, this is marching."
"Oh." Lin Chengyu grabbed another piece of dry food, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed vigorously, thinking that this would be the end of it—the world is so cruel, the friendship of more than ten years was forcibly broken, and it was because of his wishful thinking that it hurt others After life.
"It's only been about ten days, and I've seen you again, so don't worry. But it's said that a little farewell is better than a newlywed. You two haven't seen each other for three years. It's really uncomfortable to leave after meeting." Chen Jingyuan clapped his hands. , straddled the horse neatly and walked away, leaving behind Lin Chengyu to stare at him as he ran away, with a silly expression on his face that I really don't understand what you are talking about.
After running all afternoon, Lin Chengyu finally realized how powerful he was. He didn't sleep for two hours at night, and he didn't eat well for more than a day. His body was so weak that he didn't even need to exert himself.Don’t dare to toss after dark, eat a good dinner and sleep until the end of the day. After dawn, the spirit is relieved, the reason is also returned, and the mind returns to the things that should be done in front of the eyes, repeating the old karma—no, It’s something I did not long ago-drawing the marching map. Katsuragi marched in a hurry when he came this way, and he didn’t have time to draw it. He just made up for it during the break when he went back, and the other clerks saw it and took the initiative to help, detailing the marching map This item seems to have become a new job for the clerk in the West Shu Army.
Three days later, the team returned to camp.Those who greeted them were Yan Changji who had withdrawn from Bingshu and a small number of left behind soldiers. He Zhiyi personally led the team to Liu'ao and Xigou, and did not turn back.Five days ago, the battalion received a report that a great victory was ahead, and the Burmese army was attacked by He Zhiyi with superior forces. They defeated the enemy with one blow, and the Burmese army was defeated and fled within a day.It stands to reason that He Zhiyi, as the new chief general, should be in a hurry to lead the troops back to the camp, incorporate Yan Changji's battalion, purge military affairs, and start to gain prestige. If he doesn't come back now, does he already know that the crown prince personally rescued Chen Jingyuan? He settles accounts and dare not return?Planning to support troops in Liu'ao?If this is the case, the Western Shu Army will be split into two teams, and the court will not ignore it.
Chen Jingyuan returned to the First Pioneer Battalion, and brought Zhou Qiyi's team back to resettle, in case He Zhiyi returned to the camp at any time to find trouble.Half of the soldiers of the First Pioneer Battalion who accompanied Chen Jingyuan also went for nearly half of this battle. Yan Changji had obviously heard about Yu Penghai's forced entry to Beijing and He Zhiyi's refusal to reinforce Geqiu. The backing, the three thousand soldiers sent by Zhou Qiyi, are enough to settle He Zhiyi and his own soldiers, and then return to Beijing to make the arrangement for General Yu to discern the right and wrong, and the gloomy expression on his face since the meeting was slightly loosened .
"For my own selfishness, I can abandon my tens of thousands of soldiers in Western Shu and put my territory in danger. How can such a villain allow him to steal my military power in Western Shu?"
"None of the generals of the Western Shu Army would vote for him. General Yu really shared the joys and sorrows of the top and bottom, and we are brothers and sisters with us. We will never abandon him!" Yan Changji's tone was firm, and other soldiers of the First Pioneer Battalion also followed suit. go along.
Chen Jingyuan calmed everyone's emotions, and arranged for urgent post-war pensions and other matters, before taking Lin Shengyu who was by his side to the backyard.
☆, accident
Lin Shengyu originally wanted to say hello and wanted to move directly to the camp clerk's residence, but Chen Jingyuan just told him to wait first.Now I took him to the inner courtyard, and walked past the barracks of the non-commissioned officers, and stopped near the medical hut. In front of the two of them were two independent sets of pointed tile-roofed houses, and surrounded a small courtyard with stone seats for leisure. .Compared with the simple two-bay room for the generals, everyone knows that the two luxurious suites in the First Pioneer Battalion are specially used for entertaining distinguished guests, and they can only be used for a few days a year.Chen Jingyuan stretched out his hand and pushed open a courtyard door, led Lin Shengyu in, pointed to the three doors of the small courtyard and said you can choose one to live in.
"..." Lin Chengyu felt that either his ears were broken, or Chen Jingyuan's brain was broken.
"I live here alone? Isn't that okay?" I had to carefully verify it first.
"The prince will also live here when he comes back, you stay here first."
Lin Shengyu was certain that Chen Jingyuan had made a mistake, "General Chen, this is absolutely impossible, I cannot live here."
"What's wrong, I can only place you here before the prince comes back. It's convenient, you don't have to move around when the prince comes, and it's safe here." Chen Jingyuan looked around and checked the house. Condition.
"General, Prince...I should not meet him in the future. It will damage...his reputation, and let him be in a dilemma in the court, and almost cost his life. He was right to let me go, for sure. It’s good to have a good relationship.” Chen Jingyuan couldn’t be allowed to misunderstand these things, after Cao Xian let him go, he should stay far away, how could he make things difficult for him?Lin Shengyu buried her head and finished speaking with difficulty, then slowly raised her head to meet Chen Jingyuan's surprised and inexplicable eyes.
"Oh, so you thought you were rejected, no wonder you are so sad."
"..." Is it such a simple thing to dislike?
"Just stay here, the prince will definitely look for you as soon as he comes back. Don't worry, he can't wait to keep you by his side all the time." Chen Jingyuan said with a light smile, turned around and was about to walk away up.
Lin Chengyu was at a loss, how could he just leave like this, and hurriedly called out, "General, please stop for a while, can you answer Shengyu's two questions?"
"Is the prince arousing criticism because of Shengyu in the court?"
"Even the guard captain wanted to assassinate me, so did the crown prince cause trouble in the army because of Sheng Yu?"
"Please tell me, the general, otherwise, how dare Sheng Yu meet the prince again?" Lin Sheng Yu bowed and bowed in begging pleading.
Chen Jingyuan had no choice but to turn around and help him up, frowning helplessly,
"Cao Chongli is not killing you, he will never come to kill you."
"But we have heard reports that there are indeed assassins coming to kill you, and they may infiltrate the team. The prince was injured again, so we have to take you first..."
"Cao Chongli didn't come to kill me, so he really went after the prince?" Lin Chengyu was shocked,
"But he clearly said that he didn't kill the prince? Why? Who did he kill?"
"...This cannot be explained now." Chen Jingyuan frowned.
"So he intentionally seriously injured the prince, but none of you arrested him?!"
"What happened to Cao Xian? Why did someone want to kill him?" Lin Chengyu suddenly felt chills in his heart. The dignified prince's life was actually ignored. What happened?
"You know someone is going to kill him, why didn't you guard him? He is seriously injured, if someone comes to kill him again, wouldn't it be very dangerous?" Lin Chengyu was flustered, and his tone couldn't help but rise.
"...Cao Chongli probably didn't really intend to kill him. Who knows why he suddenly went crazy..." Facing Lin Shengyu's questioning tone, Chen Jingyuan felt a little guilty, and unconsciously defended himself.
"It shouldn't be?! But in fact, it almost hit the nail on the head!" Lin Chengyu felt that he was going crazy, and his heart was full of doubts. Why did the captain of the guard want to assassinate the prince?Why does a confidant of the prince like Chen Jingyuan seem indifferent to the danger of the prince's life?Cao Xian, as a prince, did not see the supreme respect and favor that a prince should have. What has he experienced?He has just been seriously injured and needs to recuperate, will Cao Chongli take the opportunity to kill him again?This possibility is relatively small.Is there anyone else coming to kill him?Other guards?Other soldiers?assassin?He Zhiyi——?
"General Chen, please send scouts to investigate General He Zhiyi's movements. Hurry up, the signal has been sent. I suspect that he may detour to intercept the prince."
"...It is indeed possible!" Chen Jingyuan's expression changed drastically, and he and Lin Shengyu rushed to arrange scouts.During the last tree-joining trip, the scout team had learned the method of signal communication and practiced its convenience. After Lin Shengyu added some specific signal expressions, 20 people rushed out of the camp and went to Liu'ao Xigou And go, it is estimated that the message will be sent back at midnight tomorrow at the earliest.
"He Zhiyi must have received the news that the prince came to help him, and the general has been rescued, so he must understand that things can't go well. Going around and attacking the prince's soldiers and horses can take advantage of the opportunity, and he is the best choice." If the prince is seriously injured and the troops are sent to Chen Jingyuan to return The news from the camp is [-]% an excellent opportunity to completely kill the prince, and He Zhiyi will definitely not miss it. Lin Shengyu dare not say anything about the latter, and Lin Chengyu is very worried when he thinks that someone can easily attack the prince. He dare not think that Cao Xianruo is in a desperate situation... …
"Please, General, give me some elite soldiers all the way, and rush to help immediately, so that we will be prepared. If it is what I expected, it will be too late when the news arrives tomorrow."
"I'll take the vanguard battalion with me personally." Chen Jingyuan was also in a hurry, and explained the situation to Zhou Qiyi, "If we make the best mistake, He Zhiyi may return to the camp within a day. Anyway, you hold on for a while, we Come back quickly." Yan Changji had listened to the order and assembled a total of [-] Qingqiu brought back by Bingshu and other vanguard battalions. With an order, Chen Jingyuan and Lin Shengyu rode together and led the team to rush to Geqiu.
The hooves of the horses were up and down, flying sand and fog all the way. For the first time, Lin Chengyu felt that the speed of the galloping horse was too slow. All the routine breakfast, feeding, grooming, and queuing up are superfluous. I just want to set off immediately, arrive at the camp in an instant, and see people safe and sound.
Seeing Lin Shengyu's obviously abnormal state, Chen Jingyuan also had a heavy heart along the way, and arranged the team to hurry as soon as possible with few words.It was getting late one day, and there were still three or four miles away from the camp, when the screams of men and horses and the clash of weapons were faintly heard.Lin Jingyuan's face changed drastically, and he took the lead and rushed forward.The color on Lin Chengyu's face had long since faded, he beat the horse hard, and kept up with Lin Jingyuan regardless. A quarter of an hour later, the battlefield where the fighting was in full swing was close in front of him——
What happened to Cao Xian?He was seriously injured and couldn't even get up!All I could see was the shadow of a sword and sword, and blood splattered everywhere.Lin Shengyu was trembling with anxiety, gritted his teeth and urged the horse desperately, unknowingly passed Chen Jingyuan and rushed to the front, plunged into the battlefield.When Chen Jingyuan saw it, he had no choice but to catch up quickly to defend him from flying swords.
How can it be so easy to find someone in a chaotic battlefield?Lin Chengyu followed the direction of the main account and bent as close as possible, either catching the right, front, left, left, or right, or surrounding him until the enemy and us both wore the same fine armor and silver helmets, the only difference was that the sides of the armor and the edge of the helmet were red and gold. The edge of the border, obviously brothers and compatriots, but swords and swords are facing each other here, endlessly, why?The more Lin Shengyu looked at it, the more her heart ached.
"The prince is here, are you trying to rebel by doing this?"
"The prince is here, are you trying to rebel by doing this?"
During this trip, Lin Shengyu put on the black armored hedgehog of the Western Shu Army, with a black helmet, raised his arms and shouted, and galloped forward. Hundreds of people around were shocked and stunned when they heard about the rebellion. As a result, they had no choice but to dodge one after another.
"The prince is here, are you trying to rebel by doing this?"
"The prince is here, are you trying to rebel by doing this?"
"..."
Hundreds of people were connected in an instant, and the peak of the main tent and the yellow dust rising from the front of the tent could be seen in the distance. The most fierce battle was there!
All of a sudden, a man and a horse in front charged towards him, but before the man arrived, a section of the sharp spear pointed straight towards the door with trembling flowers, approaching in no time.Chen Jingyuan was a horse behind at this time, seeing that there was no time to help, his eyes were about to burst.A bright knife flashed out from the slanting stabbing, and with a bang, the tip of the spear was deflected. Lin Chengyu pulled the reins and turned the horse's head slightly, and a flying horse slammed into the wide-open chest door of the gunman in front of him. A long and narrow dagger was thrust hard into the chest and pulled out, blood gushed out like an arrow, and the man fell off the horse, killing him with one blow.
It's Cao Chongli!Lin Shengyu couldn't help but be deeply impressed by that dagger, and he recognized it at a glance. In such a situation, even though he had thousands of doubts, he couldn't care less about it.Lin Shengyu rode his horse again and went straight to the fierce battle in front of the main account, which was already a hundred meters away.Chen Jingyuan and Cao Chongli came up together, one on the left and one on the right, guarding his sides. There was no danger in the road ahead, and the horse's hooves stepped into the smoke and dust circle in a few breaths. The two teams in the outer circle were reciprocatingly attacking He Zhiyi's personal soldiers with red borders, while the besieged inside were the prince's guards and imperial guards, who were compressed into a small circle and divided into two teams to stagger forward and outward.Lin Chengyu caught sight of Cao Xian in the inner circle, wearing a silver helmet and wearing casual clothes without light armor, holding a long halberd tightly in both hands, commanding the two teams to charge back and forth in different directions, trying to tear a hole to break through .Lin Chengyu saw the glaring dripping bloodstains on his body, and the deep streak of blood on his chest was especially worrying.
Lin Chengyu kept silent, fixed his sights on a spot and charged forward, and thrust the light sword forward, poking into the back cheek of a soldier on the periphery.
Lin Shengyu and Cao Xian are completely different people in some aspects. Cao Xian has a headache when he reads articles and books, and it is also difficult for Lin Shengyu to wield swords and guns. Although he barely learned a little sword skills, it is just a show. This is the first time The sword in his hand is really pierced into the human body. Although the feeling of the diaphragm is forced by the situation, it is difficult to expect to kill everyone. Fortunately, Chen Jingyuan and Cao Chongli who are following are very powerful, and they will be overthrown in two or three hits. The encirclement was broken, and the encirclement was easily broken from the outside. Cao Xian seized the opportunity and rushed to break through the gap. Lin Shengyu immediately turned around and ran away with Cao Xian. Chen Jingyuan and Cao Chongli followed at the end to help. .
☆, prince
A group of people ran around the battlefield for half a circle, picked up hundreds of besieged Prince's troops, and gathered a few relatively neat teams. Thousands of troops gathered around Cao Xian, and the crisis was over.Only heard the sound of shouting and killing in the outermost circle, Yan Changji led the brigade to advance slowly.After the discussion between Chen Jingyuan and Lin Shengyu just now, news has been sent out that Yan Changji only needs to gather superior forces to sweep the battlefield bit by bit, kill the stubborn He Zhiyi's personal soldiers, and rescue the besieged prince's subordinates.In the time it took for a stick of incense, He Zhiyi saw that Cao Xian, who was calmly confronting the supporters inside, was hopeless, and he had no choice but to withdraw his troops when Yan Changji gradually encroached on the outside.The unexpected sneak attack was not successful, and the follow-up was even more hopeless. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses had to retreat slowly towards Geqiu.
The moment the soldiers retreated, Cao Xian tilted his body and got off his horse.Fortunately, Chen Jingyuan was close, so he caught him and saw that he had passed out, so he hurriedly got someone to carry him back to the main account, and called a military doctor to treat him.Lin Shengyu naturally followed. After seeing the military doctor take off his shirt for inspection, he found that there was no serious injury, but the burst wound on his chest was more troublesome, and he was just fainted from exhaustion.Finally, he could breathe a sigh of relief. After helping to wash and apply the bandages, Lin Shengyu sat beside the sleeping Cao Xian. Looking at his pale face without a trace of blood, he felt very lucky—fortunately, he came back in time!
Near midnight, Chen Jingyuan came in with some dry food to eat together, and looked at Cao Xian who was still asleep.Lin Shengyu asked about the situation of this battle. What is gratifying is that the result was good. Although the team was dispersed after the surprise attack on the camp, most of the soldiers did not panic. Small groups twisted up and fought back without being hit. And collapse, generally speaking, has a slight upper hand. "This team of personal soldiers has been for three years. Most of the time, the crown prince personally fights. I usually like to practice confrontation in small groups and small groups. I am very proficient in this." Lin Shengyu smiled clearly. When he was young, Cao Cao It is obvious that the earliest recruits were only a group of thin and weak children who were being bullied. They forced themselves to resist the local snakes. They used Lin Shengyu's flexible and maneuverable team strategy of staying away from each other.
After Chen Jingyuan left, Lin Shengyu also had to rest.When I went out to wash up, I was surprised to meet Cao Chongli at the door. It seemed that he had taken up the position of a guard, standing guard at the door?Seeing Lin Shengyu looking at him, he bent down and saluted.
"..." Lin Shengyu had a lot of questions in his head, and it was inappropriate to ask, so after thinking about it, he decided to give up, and went to sleep without saying a word.These things, there will be suitable people to ask at dawn.
The next day, Lin Shengyu got up late again, and when he woke up, he saw Cao Xian sitting on the head of the bed with a bowl to eat, just looking at the way he gulped happily, he couldn't imagine how he fainted and fell off the horse yesterday.Seeing Lin Shengyu open his eyes, Cao Xian said with a smile, "Chengyu, if you don't wake up, you're going to miss breakfast again."
Seeing his relaxed appearance, Lin Shengyu still had lingering fears when he thought of the scene of being besieged yesterday, so he didn't want to talk to him for the time being, and he wanted to ask questions later, and he had to brew his emotions.Without saying a word, I just got up, dressed, washed and ate.Occasionally, when I turned around, I saw Cao Xian slowly pawing rice and looking up at him cautiously, and couldn't help laughing.When Cao Xian was young, he was impatient and a bit crazy, he would go forward when things happened, he would rather bend than bend, and sometimes he was prone to disaster, just like the time when he beat the bastard son of the city lord's mansion, every time Lin Shengyu tried to save him from danger, he would feel distressed and angry at the same time. I don't want to pay attention to him, so he always sticks to his side and looks at him like this, with a small and careful look of grievance. Later, when he grows up, and his identity is there, he hasn't encountered any crisis for a long time.After so many years, Lin Chengyu couldn't help but see it again.
Seeing him smile, Cao Xian was relieved, and he finished the meal in a few strokes. He wanted to get up, but he couldn't force himself. He stood up and fell back.Lin Shengyu came over to help him tidy up, it was not suitable for him to get out of bed yet, so he had to put on a coat and sit more comfortably.After the arrangement was completed, Lin Shengyu pulled up the stool and sat upright,
"Tell me about your situation."
"I guess, is there something wrong with your prince's identity?"
"I feel, does it still have something to do with me?"
"..." Cao Xian opened his eyes wide in surprise,
"Don't tell me, if you don't tell me, then I'll ask Cao Chongli, he seems to want to say something to me all the time."
"Tell me, you're about to guess right without evidence, why don't you say it?" Cao Xian hastily grabbed Lin Chengyu who was about to leave, and raised his voice
"Hey, Lao Cao, are you there? Tell Chen Jingyuan to come over, and let's talk about it now."
There was the sound of footsteps leaving outside the tent, and soon the footsteps came back, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, Chen Jingyuan and Cao Chongli came in step by step, found a place to sit by themselves, and looked calm, obviously knowing what to say.
"Then let me start from the very beginning," Cao Xian said to Lin Shengyu, "20 years ago, the king was still the crown prince..."
It has been [-] years since the Dazhao Kingdom was controlled by the Yuan Dynasty. The prince of the Zhao Kingdom was a hostage in Licheng, and he became close friends with Lin Shizi, a feudal vassal who was also a hostage at the same time. In a few days, each had a son named Cao Xian and Lin Shengyu.It's just that within half a year, the Crown Princess died of illness, and Mrs. Lin took her good sister's son back and took care of her together.The prince was also invited to live with him, and the two families worked together as a family.Another half year later, the Lord of Zhao State passed away, and the crown prince was recalled back to take the throne.The Yuan State sent clerks to record the situation of the protons. Cao Xian at that time, and now Lin Shengyu experienced the twists and turns of his mother's illness and death. He was not well fed, and his body was thin and sick. Taking care of him, on the contrary, his son was healthy at a young age, so he was looked after by his servants, stumbling and running around the yard.The civil officials who came thought they were righteous, and casually arrested Lin Shengyu at that time, registered Cao Xian's name in the portrait, recorded the identity of the prince, and left.When Zhao Guozhu and Lin Shizi discovered the problem, they were too late to catch up. The Lin family somehow committed the crime of impersonating the prince, and they don't know how to explain it.Lord Zhao made his final decision: "Just let your Cheng'er take Xian'er's place. The title of Prince of Zhao is a disaster. Xian'er is so weak, maybe he will be gone at any time. Without this title." , maybe you can live in peace for a few years." So Cao Xian became Lin Shengyu, and Lin Shengyu became Cao Xian.Four years later, Lin Shizi and his wife were also recalled to the feudal domain, and Mrs. Lin's younger brother was entrusted to take care of the two sons who were held hostage.
"So I'm fake."
"Cheng Yu, you are the prince."
"..."
"Who told you these things?" Since the king and the elder son of the Lin family had made up their minds back then, they naturally hid the truth when they were still infants. How did Lin Chengyu's first thought be revealed?
"It's the king."
"He repented!" Isn't this too inappropriate?Isn't it killing people!
The other three looked at each other for a while, Cao Chongli dug out his chest, took out a folded portrait, spread it out in front of Lin Chengyu.Lin Chengyu saw that it was a delicate portrait, and when he looked at it again, this person looked very familiar, it seemed to be—"Me?" Lin Shengyu pointed at himself, but then he realized that it shouldn't be, so could it be?
"The lord's." Cao Chongli replied.
Sure enough, whoever's son is his son, and it's not something you can change if you want to.
"Just because of this, you're going to kill him?" Lin Shengyu glared at Cao Chongli angrily, it's unreasonable!This can't be blamed on Cao Xian's head.
Cao Chongli's hand that was scrolling the painting trembled, and he stared blankly at Lin Shengyu's fire-breathing gaze. He didn't understand why the blame was turned on him. Shouldn't the point be the changed identity?
"Old Cao misunderstood me, and because of your status as a military slave, there were gossip among the soldiers. He thought I had defiled your body, so he couldn't help it all at once, so he stabbed me. It wasn't fatal."
That's not OK!It was dangerous, Lin Chengyu continued to stare.
"I can't blame others for misunderstanding. I felt sorry for you when you were in the execution ground. As soon as I entered Beijing, I felt something was wrong when I met the king. After the king explained the reason to me, we decided not to involve you for the time being. The pro-Yuan faction in the court is arrogant, and the situation is dangerous. I don’t know what will happen if I change my identity rashly. I didn’t expect them to see the clue, and they directly framed the Lin family for rebellion and arrested you to Beijing. At that time, I wanted the king to explain you and me Identity saves you—”
"No! Then you won't be able to argue with a hundred words, and the crime will be added to the crime." Lin Shengyu turned his head and glared at Cao Xian. Although he knew that nothing happened, he thought that Cao Xian almost died so innocently, and it was very likely that he was tortured. When I die, my heart beats wildly.
"The lord is not allowed. He said that if I dare to do it, I will not save anyone, and I will send you to die together. At least I will give the Lin family an explanation." Cao Xian's voice seemed to still carry the painful entanglement at that time.
"The prince mentioned this to me a long time ago. I didn't really care. I really believed it when I saw your face. You are too similar to the king." Chen Jingyuan added calmly. It is obvious who the prince is, and he is not. Very concerned.
"Lao Cao was originally a person close to the king, sent to assist the prince, but..."
"The lord also told me, and asked me to protect the Lin family, but my old Cao only recognizes the real prince!" Cao Chongli interrupted Chen Jingyuan in a daze, with such stubbornness on his face.
"..." What can I do when I meet such an inexplicably stubborn person.
"Then you recognize me as the prince, right? Well, this is mine, you dare to touch him again! More than that, if he is in danger from now on, you will give your life to save him!" Lin Shengyu said rudely. Pointing to Cao Xian, let Cao Chongli confirm again and again that to accept his status as prince, he must accept his request to protect Cao Xian.
☆, land reclamation
"..." The father and son looked alike, and their virtues were similar, Cao Chongli sighed helplessly.
After recuperating for a day, Cao Xian's injury seemed to have eased a bit, and everyone decided to return to the camp as soon as possible, firstly, just in case He Zhiyi turned around to attack the camp, and secondly, General Yu was still in crisis and needed to return to the camp as soon as possible Arrange countermeasures.Lin Shengyu put a thick and soft mattress in the carriage, moved Cao Xian in, and he had to ride a horse and talk with him to relieve his boredom.The people and horses all the way walked slowly, and they returned to the camp smoothly after three days.
Cao Xian followed Lin Shengyu to live in a small building with a small courtyard in the First Pioneer Battalion, and even squeezed into a room, the reason being that they were injured and needed someone to take care of them.Lin Shengyu graciously followed his wishes, thinking that Cao Xian would be leaving in a few days, and it was good to stay together for a moment.
In the evening, all the generals of the Western Shu Army came. One day ago, the troops of Liu Ao and Xigou had withdrawn. It is said that He Zhiyi took all his own soldiers and set off one day earlier than them. No one knew that he actually took a detour to Geqiu to attack the crown prince. . "General Yu's hatred will naturally be blamed on him, and none of us want to take care of him." With Peng Hai's prestige in the Western Shu Army, it is really not easy for He Zhiyi to subdue this group of soldiers.It’s just that this group of people are all warriors, without counselors, and they would only be reckless if they wanted to resist. If Cao Xian hadn’t come out of the blue to save Chen Jingyuan, hindering He Zhiyi’s plan to gradually dismantle the suppression, he would probably have died unjustly in the end. "You still have to rely on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to return to Beijing to preside over General Yu's affairs." Indeed, this is the only way to go. Cao Xian agreed to return to Beijing after five days as a general. Lin Shengyu listed all the adults in the capital who might help Yu Penghai, Regardless of whether it is true or false, it can be regarded as a relief to them.
However, in the evening of the next day, Tan Ma came from the capital and brought the news that General Yu was all right, and the Lord personally rewarded him for his ten-year hard work in defending the land and borders, and he will return with honor in a short time.After hearing the news, the camp was full of joy!Lin Shengyu's talent
Cao Xian was carried to the bed by Chen Jingyuan, and gave way to the military doctor for rescue.Seeing the blood gushing out after the dagger was pulled out, Lin Shengyu quickly soaked the gauze pressed on it, and she burst into tears with anxiety. "It didn't hit a vital point, it's not fatal." Chen Jingyuan patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, then turned his head to pick up Cao Chongli, who had just got up, but he missed it and slipped to the door.A group of guards looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing whether to arrest their boss or not.
"As the captain of the guard, do you want to assassinate the prince?" Chen Jingyuan asked coldly.
"Is it the prince I want to kill?" Cao Chongli pushed aside the guards blocking the door and walked out.
"What are you going to do at a time like this?" Chen Jingyuan frowned,
"What is he going to do? Is he going to ruin the prince's reputation? I can't stand it!" Cao Chongli went out, and after a while there was a sound of horseshoes and he went away. He thought he was walking alone, but no one stopped him.
Ruined the prince's reputation?Is it still my problem?In Lin Shengyu's not so clear mind, only these two questions left him, which made him very sad.
The military doctor was so busy until it was daylight that he stopped the bleeding and bandaged him. After explaining that he must not move casually, he left in a hurry.Cao Xian fell into a coma and did not wake up.After Chen Jingyuan made sure that Cao Xian's life would not be in danger, he left first. By the way, he called all the guards out and stood guard at the door, leaving only Lin Shengyu to take care of him in the tent.Lin Shengyu's mind was constantly focused on the military doctor's instructions, changing water, wiping, and wrapping medicine powder as required... Only when the military doctor left did he pull up a stool and sit down, staring closely at Cao Xian's pale face, his whole body once again Overwhelmed by palpitations of fear, as soon as he closed his eyes, he saw the scene of a long dagger piercing Cao Xian's chest.Although Cao Xian has been a domineering and aggressive person since he was a child, he has suffered a lot of injuries, he almost demolished the school because of his impulsiveness, and received family law, but this time, it was because he almost lost his life. Lin Chengyu couldn't accept it, and was so frightened that he trembled all over.
After sitting there for a long time, Lin Chengyu didn't do anything.Two hours later, the military doctor brought in a bowl of dark medicine, and the two of them helped Cao Xian to feed it.Afterwards, Chen Jingyuan came over to take a look and brought lunch casually.Only then did Lin Shengyu remember to change out of her pajamas, barely took two mouthfuls of food and couldn't eat anymore.The whole team could only rest on the spot first. Chen Jingyuan said that he entered the assassin and seriously injured the prince.Hearing that the prince who came to rescue the big guy was actually assassinated in the barracks, the eyes of the surviving soldiers of the Western Shu Army were all red, and they all asked for orders to hunt him down.Chen Jingyuan said that the assassin was highly skilled in martial arts, and he played insidious means, to appease everyone not to move around, and lost their lives for no reason.Cao Chongli was originally a bodyguard who followed the prince closely, and he rarely interacted with people on weekdays, and no one noticed for a while after he left.
All day, until night, Lin Shengyu stood beside the unconscious Cao Xian, fed medicine and water, and even helped change the medicine once at night, but she didn't want to eat or drink, even when dinner was brought. move.Fortunately, although the person did not wake up, he seemed to be breathing smoothly, the wound did not bleed anymore, and even the fever only started a little. The overall situation allowed him to rest a little bit. After the night fell, sleepiness hit him, and he couldn't help lying on the bed. Cao Xian fell asleep on his side.
When Lin Chengyu woke up, he heard voices next to him first.When he opened his eyes, he was delighted to see that Cao Xian had woken up and was talking to Chen Jingyuan half lying down.
"Take him away first, and go back to the camp together with the people from Xishu. Zhou Qiyi's three thousand soldiers and horses will also accompany you. He came from the former imperial guards and is under your command. If He Zhiyi dares to do something, You don't have to be polite."
"I'm worried that something will happen here, Your Highness?"
"What can I do here? He will be in some trouble here. It's better to leave earlier." Cao Xian turned his head and saw Lin Shengyu rubbing his eyes just woke up.
"Cheng Yu, I just agreed with Jing Yuan to let him take you back first, it's not good for you to stay here."
"Well, it's better for me to leave." Lin Chengyu replied in a low voice, but his head was lowered. The hot eye sockets must not be seen by others. It's too shameful. How can you be so sad?So selfish!Obviously leaving is the right thing to do, and Cao Xian was so tired that he almost died. Even if he didn't mention it, he should have left voluntarily and completely severed the relationship. This is the friendship you should have, Lin Shengyu.
"Chengyu——" Cao Xian looked at Lin Shengyu's buried head, sadly raised shoulders, his eyes were full of entanglement, his still pale and chapped lips opened and closed several times, and finally said nothing.
Chen Jingyuan went out and began to summon the generals of Xishu, preparing to leave for the camp before noon.After Lin Shengyu pulled himself together to help Cao Xian wash up, he fed him medicine and liquid food, while calmly talking about some past events between the two of them, and also talked about the situation as usual, trying to keep the last time they spent together as before.After eating, Cao Xian asked Lin Shengyu to sit up straighter, and put on his coat to cover the gauze covering his entire chest.After a while, Chen Jingyuan led Zhou Qiyi in. After Cao Xian told him to go first with Chen Jingyuan and might help Yu and He Zhiyi in the fight, Zhou Qiyi simply said "Design" and agreed. He is down, and he is willing to obey Chen Jingyuan's orders. As Cao Xian said, he is very obedient to Chen Jingyuan.
After the two left, Lin Shengyu also wanted to gather and prepare to set off.
"You know best. With my body, I can jump on the ground after only three to five days of injury. Don't worry too much." Before leaving, Cao Xian lay down comfortably, comforting Lin Chengyu with a smile.Lin Chengyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and if he said yes, he knew that you were very capable, but this time you were seriously injured, at least take it easy, the military doctor said that you can't move or you should not move.
In the middle of the noon, the team split out. Lin Shengyu followed the clerk at the end of the line, galloping on horseback. As the temporary camp behind him gradually moved away, he gradually collapsed. He shrank and hugged the reins tightly, letting go The horse followed.
At noon, when the army was resting for a while, Chen Jingyuan rode his horse back and forth to inspect. When he saw Lin Shengyu who was holding on to the dry food in a daze, he got off his horse and came over.Sitting next to him, he snatched the dry food from his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.Seeing that her rations were gone, Lin Shengyu turned to look at Chen Jingyuan, but there was no reaction, she turned back and continued to be in a daze.
"As for it? You don't think about food and drink, your face is pale, this is marching."
"Oh." Lin Chengyu grabbed another piece of dry food, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed vigorously, thinking that this would be the end of it—the world is so cruel, the friendship of more than ten years was forcibly broken, and it was because of his wishful thinking that it hurt others After life.
"It's only been about ten days, and I've seen you again, so don't worry. But it's said that a little farewell is better than a newlywed. You two haven't seen each other for three years. It's really uncomfortable to leave after meeting." Chen Jingyuan clapped his hands. , straddled the horse neatly and walked away, leaving behind Lin Chengyu to stare at him as he ran away, with a silly expression on his face that I really don't understand what you are talking about.
After running all afternoon, Lin Chengyu finally realized how powerful he was. He didn't sleep for two hours at night, and he didn't eat well for more than a day. His body was so weak that he didn't even need to exert himself.Don’t dare to toss after dark, eat a good dinner and sleep until the end of the day. After dawn, the spirit is relieved, the reason is also returned, and the mind returns to the things that should be done in front of the eyes, repeating the old karma—no, It’s something I did not long ago-drawing the marching map. Katsuragi marched in a hurry when he came this way, and he didn’t have time to draw it. He just made up for it during the break when he went back, and the other clerks saw it and took the initiative to help, detailing the marching map This item seems to have become a new job for the clerk in the West Shu Army.
Three days later, the team returned to camp.Those who greeted them were Yan Changji who had withdrawn from Bingshu and a small number of left behind soldiers. He Zhiyi personally led the team to Liu'ao and Xigou, and did not turn back.Five days ago, the battalion received a report that a great victory was ahead, and the Burmese army was attacked by He Zhiyi with superior forces. They defeated the enemy with one blow, and the Burmese army was defeated and fled within a day.It stands to reason that He Zhiyi, as the new chief general, should be in a hurry to lead the troops back to the camp, incorporate Yan Changji's battalion, purge military affairs, and start to gain prestige. If he doesn't come back now, does he already know that the crown prince personally rescued Chen Jingyuan? He settles accounts and dare not return?Planning to support troops in Liu'ao?If this is the case, the Western Shu Army will be split into two teams, and the court will not ignore it.
Chen Jingyuan returned to the First Pioneer Battalion, and brought Zhou Qiyi's team back to resettle, in case He Zhiyi returned to the camp at any time to find trouble.Half of the soldiers of the First Pioneer Battalion who accompanied Chen Jingyuan also went for nearly half of this battle. Yan Changji had obviously heard about Yu Penghai's forced entry to Beijing and He Zhiyi's refusal to reinforce Geqiu. The backing, the three thousand soldiers sent by Zhou Qiyi, are enough to settle He Zhiyi and his own soldiers, and then return to Beijing to make the arrangement for General Yu to discern the right and wrong, and the gloomy expression on his face since the meeting was slightly loosened .
"For my own selfishness, I can abandon my tens of thousands of soldiers in Western Shu and put my territory in danger. How can such a villain allow him to steal my military power in Western Shu?"
"None of the generals of the Western Shu Army would vote for him. General Yu really shared the joys and sorrows of the top and bottom, and we are brothers and sisters with us. We will never abandon him!" Yan Changji's tone was firm, and other soldiers of the First Pioneer Battalion also followed suit. go along.
Chen Jingyuan calmed everyone's emotions, and arranged for urgent post-war pensions and other matters, before taking Lin Shengyu who was by his side to the backyard.
☆, accident
Lin Shengyu originally wanted to say hello and wanted to move directly to the camp clerk's residence, but Chen Jingyuan just told him to wait first.Now I took him to the inner courtyard, and walked past the barracks of the non-commissioned officers, and stopped near the medical hut. In front of the two of them were two independent sets of pointed tile-roofed houses, and surrounded a small courtyard with stone seats for leisure. .Compared with the simple two-bay room for the generals, everyone knows that the two luxurious suites in the First Pioneer Battalion are specially used for entertaining distinguished guests, and they can only be used for a few days a year.Chen Jingyuan stretched out his hand and pushed open a courtyard door, led Lin Shengyu in, pointed to the three doors of the small courtyard and said you can choose one to live in.
"..." Lin Chengyu felt that either his ears were broken, or Chen Jingyuan's brain was broken.
"I live here alone? Isn't that okay?" I had to carefully verify it first.
"The prince will also live here when he comes back, you stay here first."
Lin Shengyu was certain that Chen Jingyuan had made a mistake, "General Chen, this is absolutely impossible, I cannot live here."
"What's wrong, I can only place you here before the prince comes back. It's convenient, you don't have to move around when the prince comes, and it's safe here." Chen Jingyuan looked around and checked the house. Condition.
"General, Prince...I should not meet him in the future. It will damage...his reputation, and let him be in a dilemma in the court, and almost cost his life. He was right to let me go, for sure. It’s good to have a good relationship.” Chen Jingyuan couldn’t be allowed to misunderstand these things, after Cao Xian let him go, he should stay far away, how could he make things difficult for him?Lin Shengyu buried her head and finished speaking with difficulty, then slowly raised her head to meet Chen Jingyuan's surprised and inexplicable eyes.
"Oh, so you thought you were rejected, no wonder you are so sad."
"..." Is it such a simple thing to dislike?
"Just stay here, the prince will definitely look for you as soon as he comes back. Don't worry, he can't wait to keep you by his side all the time." Chen Jingyuan said with a light smile, turned around and was about to walk away up.
Lin Chengyu was at a loss, how could he just leave like this, and hurriedly called out, "General, please stop for a while, can you answer Shengyu's two questions?"
"Is the prince arousing criticism because of Shengyu in the court?"
"Even the guard captain wanted to assassinate me, so did the crown prince cause trouble in the army because of Sheng Yu?"
"Please tell me, the general, otherwise, how dare Sheng Yu meet the prince again?" Lin Sheng Yu bowed and bowed in begging pleading.
Chen Jingyuan had no choice but to turn around and help him up, frowning helplessly,
"Cao Chongli is not killing you, he will never come to kill you."
"But we have heard reports that there are indeed assassins coming to kill you, and they may infiltrate the team. The prince was injured again, so we have to take you first..."
"Cao Chongli didn't come to kill me, so he really went after the prince?" Lin Chengyu was shocked,
"But he clearly said that he didn't kill the prince? Why? Who did he kill?"
"...This cannot be explained now." Chen Jingyuan frowned.
"So he intentionally seriously injured the prince, but none of you arrested him?!"
"What happened to Cao Xian? Why did someone want to kill him?" Lin Chengyu suddenly felt chills in his heart. The dignified prince's life was actually ignored. What happened?
"You know someone is going to kill him, why didn't you guard him? He is seriously injured, if someone comes to kill him again, wouldn't it be very dangerous?" Lin Chengyu was flustered, and his tone couldn't help but rise.
"...Cao Chongli probably didn't really intend to kill him. Who knows why he suddenly went crazy..." Facing Lin Shengyu's questioning tone, Chen Jingyuan felt a little guilty, and unconsciously defended himself.
"It shouldn't be?! But in fact, it almost hit the nail on the head!" Lin Chengyu felt that he was going crazy, and his heart was full of doubts. Why did the captain of the guard want to assassinate the prince?Why does a confidant of the prince like Chen Jingyuan seem indifferent to the danger of the prince's life?Cao Xian, as a prince, did not see the supreme respect and favor that a prince should have. What has he experienced?He has just been seriously injured and needs to recuperate, will Cao Chongli take the opportunity to kill him again?This possibility is relatively small.Is there anyone else coming to kill him?Other guards?Other soldiers?assassin?He Zhiyi——?
"General Chen, please send scouts to investigate General He Zhiyi's movements. Hurry up, the signal has been sent. I suspect that he may detour to intercept the prince."
"...It is indeed possible!" Chen Jingyuan's expression changed drastically, and he and Lin Shengyu rushed to arrange scouts.During the last tree-joining trip, the scout team had learned the method of signal communication and practiced its convenience. After Lin Shengyu added some specific signal expressions, 20 people rushed out of the camp and went to Liu'ao Xigou And go, it is estimated that the message will be sent back at midnight tomorrow at the earliest.
"He Zhiyi must have received the news that the prince came to help him, and the general has been rescued, so he must understand that things can't go well. Going around and attacking the prince's soldiers and horses can take advantage of the opportunity, and he is the best choice." If the prince is seriously injured and the troops are sent to Chen Jingyuan to return The news from the camp is [-]% an excellent opportunity to completely kill the prince, and He Zhiyi will definitely not miss it. Lin Shengyu dare not say anything about the latter, and Lin Chengyu is very worried when he thinks that someone can easily attack the prince. He dare not think that Cao Xianruo is in a desperate situation... …
"Please, General, give me some elite soldiers all the way, and rush to help immediately, so that we will be prepared. If it is what I expected, it will be too late when the news arrives tomorrow."
"I'll take the vanguard battalion with me personally." Chen Jingyuan was also in a hurry, and explained the situation to Zhou Qiyi, "If we make the best mistake, He Zhiyi may return to the camp within a day. Anyway, you hold on for a while, we Come back quickly." Yan Changji had listened to the order and assembled a total of [-] Qingqiu brought back by Bingshu and other vanguard battalions. With an order, Chen Jingyuan and Lin Shengyu rode together and led the team to rush to Geqiu.
The hooves of the horses were up and down, flying sand and fog all the way. For the first time, Lin Chengyu felt that the speed of the galloping horse was too slow. All the routine breakfast, feeding, grooming, and queuing up are superfluous. I just want to set off immediately, arrive at the camp in an instant, and see people safe and sound.
Seeing Lin Shengyu's obviously abnormal state, Chen Jingyuan also had a heavy heart along the way, and arranged the team to hurry as soon as possible with few words.It was getting late one day, and there were still three or four miles away from the camp, when the screams of men and horses and the clash of weapons were faintly heard.Lin Jingyuan's face changed drastically, and he took the lead and rushed forward.The color on Lin Chengyu's face had long since faded, he beat the horse hard, and kept up with Lin Jingyuan regardless. A quarter of an hour later, the battlefield where the fighting was in full swing was close in front of him——
What happened to Cao Xian?He was seriously injured and couldn't even get up!All I could see was the shadow of a sword and sword, and blood splattered everywhere.Lin Shengyu was trembling with anxiety, gritted his teeth and urged the horse desperately, unknowingly passed Chen Jingyuan and rushed to the front, plunged into the battlefield.When Chen Jingyuan saw it, he had no choice but to catch up quickly to defend him from flying swords.
How can it be so easy to find someone in a chaotic battlefield?Lin Chengyu followed the direction of the main account and bent as close as possible, either catching the right, front, left, left, or right, or surrounding him until the enemy and us both wore the same fine armor and silver helmets, the only difference was that the sides of the armor and the edge of the helmet were red and gold. The edge of the border, obviously brothers and compatriots, but swords and swords are facing each other here, endlessly, why?The more Lin Shengyu looked at it, the more her heart ached.
"The prince is here, are you trying to rebel by doing this?"
"The prince is here, are you trying to rebel by doing this?"
During this trip, Lin Shengyu put on the black armored hedgehog of the Western Shu Army, with a black helmet, raised his arms and shouted, and galloped forward. Hundreds of people around were shocked and stunned when they heard about the rebellion. As a result, they had no choice but to dodge one after another.
"The prince is here, are you trying to rebel by doing this?"
"The prince is here, are you trying to rebel by doing this?"
"..."
Hundreds of people were connected in an instant, and the peak of the main tent and the yellow dust rising from the front of the tent could be seen in the distance. The most fierce battle was there!
All of a sudden, a man and a horse in front charged towards him, but before the man arrived, a section of the sharp spear pointed straight towards the door with trembling flowers, approaching in no time.Chen Jingyuan was a horse behind at this time, seeing that there was no time to help, his eyes were about to burst.A bright knife flashed out from the slanting stabbing, and with a bang, the tip of the spear was deflected. Lin Chengyu pulled the reins and turned the horse's head slightly, and a flying horse slammed into the wide-open chest door of the gunman in front of him. A long and narrow dagger was thrust hard into the chest and pulled out, blood gushed out like an arrow, and the man fell off the horse, killing him with one blow.
It's Cao Chongli!Lin Shengyu couldn't help but be deeply impressed by that dagger, and he recognized it at a glance. In such a situation, even though he had thousands of doubts, he couldn't care less about it.Lin Shengyu rode his horse again and went straight to the fierce battle in front of the main account, which was already a hundred meters away.Chen Jingyuan and Cao Chongli came up together, one on the left and one on the right, guarding his sides. There was no danger in the road ahead, and the horse's hooves stepped into the smoke and dust circle in a few breaths. The two teams in the outer circle were reciprocatingly attacking He Zhiyi's personal soldiers with red borders, while the besieged inside were the prince's guards and imperial guards, who were compressed into a small circle and divided into two teams to stagger forward and outward.Lin Chengyu caught sight of Cao Xian in the inner circle, wearing a silver helmet and wearing casual clothes without light armor, holding a long halberd tightly in both hands, commanding the two teams to charge back and forth in different directions, trying to tear a hole to break through .Lin Chengyu saw the glaring dripping bloodstains on his body, and the deep streak of blood on his chest was especially worrying.
Lin Chengyu kept silent, fixed his sights on a spot and charged forward, and thrust the light sword forward, poking into the back cheek of a soldier on the periphery.
Lin Shengyu and Cao Xian are completely different people in some aspects. Cao Xian has a headache when he reads articles and books, and it is also difficult for Lin Shengyu to wield swords and guns. Although he barely learned a little sword skills, it is just a show. This is the first time The sword in his hand is really pierced into the human body. Although the feeling of the diaphragm is forced by the situation, it is difficult to expect to kill everyone. Fortunately, Chen Jingyuan and Cao Chongli who are following are very powerful, and they will be overthrown in two or three hits. The encirclement was broken, and the encirclement was easily broken from the outside. Cao Xian seized the opportunity and rushed to break through the gap. Lin Shengyu immediately turned around and ran away with Cao Xian. Chen Jingyuan and Cao Chongli followed at the end to help. .
☆, prince
A group of people ran around the battlefield for half a circle, picked up hundreds of besieged Prince's troops, and gathered a few relatively neat teams. Thousands of troops gathered around Cao Xian, and the crisis was over.Only heard the sound of shouting and killing in the outermost circle, Yan Changji led the brigade to advance slowly.After the discussion between Chen Jingyuan and Lin Shengyu just now, news has been sent out that Yan Changji only needs to gather superior forces to sweep the battlefield bit by bit, kill the stubborn He Zhiyi's personal soldiers, and rescue the besieged prince's subordinates.In the time it took for a stick of incense, He Zhiyi saw that Cao Xian, who was calmly confronting the supporters inside, was hopeless, and he had no choice but to withdraw his troops when Yan Changji gradually encroached on the outside.The unexpected sneak attack was not successful, and the follow-up was even more hopeless. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses had to retreat slowly towards Geqiu.
The moment the soldiers retreated, Cao Xian tilted his body and got off his horse.Fortunately, Chen Jingyuan was close, so he caught him and saw that he had passed out, so he hurriedly got someone to carry him back to the main account, and called a military doctor to treat him.Lin Shengyu naturally followed. After seeing the military doctor take off his shirt for inspection, he found that there was no serious injury, but the burst wound on his chest was more troublesome, and he was just fainted from exhaustion.Finally, he could breathe a sigh of relief. After helping to wash and apply the bandages, Lin Shengyu sat beside the sleeping Cao Xian. Looking at his pale face without a trace of blood, he felt very lucky—fortunately, he came back in time!
Near midnight, Chen Jingyuan came in with some dry food to eat together, and looked at Cao Xian who was still asleep.Lin Shengyu asked about the situation of this battle. What is gratifying is that the result was good. Although the team was dispersed after the surprise attack on the camp, most of the soldiers did not panic. Small groups twisted up and fought back without being hit. And collapse, generally speaking, has a slight upper hand. "This team of personal soldiers has been for three years. Most of the time, the crown prince personally fights. I usually like to practice confrontation in small groups and small groups. I am very proficient in this." Lin Shengyu smiled clearly. When he was young, Cao Cao It is obvious that the earliest recruits were only a group of thin and weak children who were being bullied. They forced themselves to resist the local snakes. They used Lin Shengyu's flexible and maneuverable team strategy of staying away from each other.
After Chen Jingyuan left, Lin Shengyu also had to rest.When I went out to wash up, I was surprised to meet Cao Chongli at the door. It seemed that he had taken up the position of a guard, standing guard at the door?Seeing Lin Shengyu looking at him, he bent down and saluted.
"..." Lin Shengyu had a lot of questions in his head, and it was inappropriate to ask, so after thinking about it, he decided to give up, and went to sleep without saying a word.These things, there will be suitable people to ask at dawn.
The next day, Lin Shengyu got up late again, and when he woke up, he saw Cao Xian sitting on the head of the bed with a bowl to eat, just looking at the way he gulped happily, he couldn't imagine how he fainted and fell off the horse yesterday.Seeing Lin Shengyu open his eyes, Cao Xian said with a smile, "Chengyu, if you don't wake up, you're going to miss breakfast again."
Seeing his relaxed appearance, Lin Shengyu still had lingering fears when he thought of the scene of being besieged yesterday, so he didn't want to talk to him for the time being, and he wanted to ask questions later, and he had to brew his emotions.Without saying a word, I just got up, dressed, washed and ate.Occasionally, when I turned around, I saw Cao Xian slowly pawing rice and looking up at him cautiously, and couldn't help laughing.When Cao Xian was young, he was impatient and a bit crazy, he would go forward when things happened, he would rather bend than bend, and sometimes he was prone to disaster, just like the time when he beat the bastard son of the city lord's mansion, every time Lin Shengyu tried to save him from danger, he would feel distressed and angry at the same time. I don't want to pay attention to him, so he always sticks to his side and looks at him like this, with a small and careful look of grievance. Later, when he grows up, and his identity is there, he hasn't encountered any crisis for a long time.After so many years, Lin Chengyu couldn't help but see it again.
Seeing him smile, Cao Xian was relieved, and he finished the meal in a few strokes. He wanted to get up, but he couldn't force himself. He stood up and fell back.Lin Shengyu came over to help him tidy up, it was not suitable for him to get out of bed yet, so he had to put on a coat and sit more comfortably.After the arrangement was completed, Lin Shengyu pulled up the stool and sat upright,
"Tell me about your situation."
"I guess, is there something wrong with your prince's identity?"
"I feel, does it still have something to do with me?"
"..." Cao Xian opened his eyes wide in surprise,
"Don't tell me, if you don't tell me, then I'll ask Cao Chongli, he seems to want to say something to me all the time."
"Tell me, you're about to guess right without evidence, why don't you say it?" Cao Xian hastily grabbed Lin Chengyu who was about to leave, and raised his voice
"Hey, Lao Cao, are you there? Tell Chen Jingyuan to come over, and let's talk about it now."
There was the sound of footsteps leaving outside the tent, and soon the footsteps came back, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, Chen Jingyuan and Cao Chongli came in step by step, found a place to sit by themselves, and looked calm, obviously knowing what to say.
"Then let me start from the very beginning," Cao Xian said to Lin Shengyu, "20 years ago, the king was still the crown prince..."
It has been [-] years since the Dazhao Kingdom was controlled by the Yuan Dynasty. The prince of the Zhao Kingdom was a hostage in Licheng, and he became close friends with Lin Shizi, a feudal vassal who was also a hostage at the same time. In a few days, each had a son named Cao Xian and Lin Shengyu.It's just that within half a year, the Crown Princess died of illness, and Mrs. Lin took her good sister's son back and took care of her together.The prince was also invited to live with him, and the two families worked together as a family.Another half year later, the Lord of Zhao State passed away, and the crown prince was recalled back to take the throne.The Yuan State sent clerks to record the situation of the protons. Cao Xian at that time, and now Lin Shengyu experienced the twists and turns of his mother's illness and death. He was not well fed, and his body was thin and sick. Taking care of him, on the contrary, his son was healthy at a young age, so he was looked after by his servants, stumbling and running around the yard.The civil officials who came thought they were righteous, and casually arrested Lin Shengyu at that time, registered Cao Xian's name in the portrait, recorded the identity of the prince, and left.When Zhao Guozhu and Lin Shizi discovered the problem, they were too late to catch up. The Lin family somehow committed the crime of impersonating the prince, and they don't know how to explain it.Lord Zhao made his final decision: "Just let your Cheng'er take Xian'er's place. The title of Prince of Zhao is a disaster. Xian'er is so weak, maybe he will be gone at any time. Without this title." , maybe you can live in peace for a few years." So Cao Xian became Lin Shengyu, and Lin Shengyu became Cao Xian.Four years later, Lin Shizi and his wife were also recalled to the feudal domain, and Mrs. Lin's younger brother was entrusted to take care of the two sons who were held hostage.
"So I'm fake."
"Cheng Yu, you are the prince."
"..."
"Who told you these things?" Since the king and the elder son of the Lin family had made up their minds back then, they naturally hid the truth when they were still infants. How did Lin Chengyu's first thought be revealed?
"It's the king."
"He repented!" Isn't this too inappropriate?Isn't it killing people!
The other three looked at each other for a while, Cao Chongli dug out his chest, took out a folded portrait, spread it out in front of Lin Chengyu.Lin Chengyu saw that it was a delicate portrait, and when he looked at it again, this person looked very familiar, it seemed to be—"Me?" Lin Shengyu pointed at himself, but then he realized that it shouldn't be, so could it be?
"The lord's." Cao Chongli replied.
Sure enough, whoever's son is his son, and it's not something you can change if you want to.
"Just because of this, you're going to kill him?" Lin Shengyu glared at Cao Chongli angrily, it's unreasonable!This can't be blamed on Cao Xian's head.
Cao Chongli's hand that was scrolling the painting trembled, and he stared blankly at Lin Shengyu's fire-breathing gaze. He didn't understand why the blame was turned on him. Shouldn't the point be the changed identity?
"Old Cao misunderstood me, and because of your status as a military slave, there were gossip among the soldiers. He thought I had defiled your body, so he couldn't help it all at once, so he stabbed me. It wasn't fatal."
That's not OK!It was dangerous, Lin Chengyu continued to stare.
"I can't blame others for misunderstanding. I felt sorry for you when you were in the execution ground. As soon as I entered Beijing, I felt something was wrong when I met the king. After the king explained the reason to me, we decided not to involve you for the time being. The pro-Yuan faction in the court is arrogant, and the situation is dangerous. I don’t know what will happen if I change my identity rashly. I didn’t expect them to see the clue, and they directly framed the Lin family for rebellion and arrested you to Beijing. At that time, I wanted the king to explain you and me Identity saves you—”
"No! Then you won't be able to argue with a hundred words, and the crime will be added to the crime." Lin Shengyu turned his head and glared at Cao Xian. Although he knew that nothing happened, he thought that Cao Xian almost died so innocently, and it was very likely that he was tortured. When I die, my heart beats wildly.
"The lord is not allowed. He said that if I dare to do it, I will not save anyone, and I will send you to die together. At least I will give the Lin family an explanation." Cao Xian's voice seemed to still carry the painful entanglement at that time.
"The prince mentioned this to me a long time ago. I didn't really care. I really believed it when I saw your face. You are too similar to the king." Chen Jingyuan added calmly. It is obvious who the prince is, and he is not. Very concerned.
"Lao Cao was originally a person close to the king, sent to assist the prince, but..."
"The lord also told me, and asked me to protect the Lin family, but my old Cao only recognizes the real prince!" Cao Chongli interrupted Chen Jingyuan in a daze, with such stubbornness on his face.
"..." What can I do when I meet such an inexplicably stubborn person.
"Then you recognize me as the prince, right? Well, this is mine, you dare to touch him again! More than that, if he is in danger from now on, you will give your life to save him!" Lin Shengyu said rudely. Pointing to Cao Xian, let Cao Chongli confirm again and again that to accept his status as prince, he must accept his request to protect Cao Xian.
☆, land reclamation
"..." The father and son looked alike, and their virtues were similar, Cao Chongli sighed helplessly.
After recuperating for a day, Cao Xian's injury seemed to have eased a bit, and everyone decided to return to the camp as soon as possible, firstly, just in case He Zhiyi turned around to attack the camp, and secondly, General Yu was still in crisis and needed to return to the camp as soon as possible Arrange countermeasures.Lin Shengyu put a thick and soft mattress in the carriage, moved Cao Xian in, and he had to ride a horse and talk with him to relieve his boredom.The people and horses all the way walked slowly, and they returned to the camp smoothly after three days.
Cao Xian followed Lin Shengyu to live in a small building with a small courtyard in the First Pioneer Battalion, and even squeezed into a room, the reason being that they were injured and needed someone to take care of them.Lin Shengyu graciously followed his wishes, thinking that Cao Xian would be leaving in a few days, and it was good to stay together for a moment.
In the evening, all the generals of the Western Shu Army came. One day ago, the troops of Liu Ao and Xigou had withdrawn. It is said that He Zhiyi took all his own soldiers and set off one day earlier than them. No one knew that he actually took a detour to Geqiu to attack the crown prince. . "General Yu's hatred will naturally be blamed on him, and none of us want to take care of him." With Peng Hai's prestige in the Western Shu Army, it is really not easy for He Zhiyi to subdue this group of soldiers.It’s just that this group of people are all warriors, without counselors, and they would only be reckless if they wanted to resist. If Cao Xian hadn’t come out of the blue to save Chen Jingyuan, hindering He Zhiyi’s plan to gradually dismantle the suppression, he would probably have died unjustly in the end. "You still have to rely on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to return to Beijing to preside over General Yu's affairs." Indeed, this is the only way to go. Cao Xian agreed to return to Beijing after five days as a general. Lin Shengyu listed all the adults in the capital who might help Yu Penghai, Regardless of whether it is true or false, it can be regarded as a relief to them.
However, in the evening of the next day, Tan Ma came from the capital and brought the news that General Yu was all right, and the Lord personally rewarded him for his ten-year hard work in defending the land and borders, and he will return with honor in a short time.After hearing the news, the camp was full of joy!Lin Shengyu's talent
