"National Preceptor? I have heard a little bit. He is the pillar of the country. He also made many suggestions in this battle. I really want to talk to him."
As he said that, Su Ningqing wanted to go there excitedly. She really looked like a wild girl from the countryside and didn't understand any etiquette.
"Girl, don't go any further. Staying by His Majesty's side will ensure you a lifetime of prosperity and wealth."
The palace maids and eunuchs immediately stood in front of Suningqing, hinting her not to go. Not only were these servants afraid of being punished, they were also worried about Suningqing's safety.
"Okay, just don't go."
After saying that, Su Ningqing went back to the room. She rolled Lin Zixuan's body aside, occupied most of the bed, and slept lightly all night.
In order not to be discovered by Lin Zixuan, Suningqing got up early the next morning.
To say that His Majesty the Emperor is really big-hearted, the war is so urgent and the hardships of the people's lives are completely ignored by him. Su Ningqing can clearly hear the sounds of fighting on the battlefield in the palace, and this Emperor Lin Zixuan actually has
My mind is asleep in bed.
"Why did the girl get up so early today?"
As soon as Lin Zixuan opened his eyes, he saw that Su Ningqing had finished washing her clothes and was sitting at the table in a daze, her eyes no longer as alert as yesterday.
"Brother Zixuan, I'm afraid." Sun Ningqing said softly and pretentiously, as delicately as a little sheep.
"Don't be afraid, don't worry, we will definitely win this battle." Lin Zixuan said with confidence. As he spoke, he walked to Suningqing's side.
Hearing this, Su Ningqing was inevitably startled. She turned her head. Lin Zixuan was not far away from her at this moment. She could observe any small expression. Lin Zixuan's eyebrows stretched, with a slight smile on his face, that kind of
Confidence, Su Ningqing has never seen before, it is a confidence that even Shuojin rarely has.
"The sword has no eyes on the battlefield. Is Your Majesty so sure?"
Su Ningqing asked, Lin Zixuan was still confident.
"Don't worry, I believe in the strength of the national master."
Speaking of Imperial Master, Lin Zixuan smiled more confidently.
This was the second time that Su Ningqing heard the name of the Imperial Master. The first time was last night. The palace maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they lost their minds after just one glance at the Imperial Master's residence. They could not even speak properly.
The second time was today. At this moment, the war was urgent, but Lin Zixuan dared to sleep peacefully. It was because of the Imperial Master.
Did the Emperor Tianzhao's confidence come entirely from the Imperial Master? How capable must this person be? Suningqing secretly thought to himself that he must go to the Imperial Master's residence when he has time to see what the secrets are.
…………
After the war
The National Master's prediction was correct, and Lin Zixuan's confidence was not groundless.
Tianzhao Kingdom really won this battle. This battle was extremely brutal, thousands of times more brutal than the last time. Moreover, Hualing Kingdom was severely defeated in this battle.
This battle can even be regarded as the most tragic war in the history of Hualing Kingdom.
"Well done. The Imperial Master's methods are indeed very clever. I will reward you heavily."
At this moment, Lin Zixuan had just finished washing up when he learned such good news. This was a good time to treat all the soldiers to a delicious meal, and he had another excuse to live happily.
Su Ningqing, as a celebrity around His Majesty, naturally also attended this feast.
The topic everyone discussed at the dinner was very simple, and they were all about the joy of fighting on the battlefield.
The winner is always so proud.
"Haha, those people in Hualing Country only have so much ability."
"That's right, if you can't beat it, you'll just run away."
"They were so aggressive before, but it's ridiculous to think about it now."
"They are all rats who hide their heads and show their tails."
"I didn't expect those people to shout so vigorously on the battlefield, and they didn't hesitate at all when running."
"Hahaha, who says it's not?"
"I think they must have always been like this, a bunch of timid cowards."
…………
The group of people talked carelessly.
Many of the existing armies of Tianzhao Kingdom were temporarily formed. These people have only brute force, little culture, and their words are vulgar. They do not understand the ways of the battlefield and do not practice martial ethics.
Su Ningqing clenched her fists tightly as she heard this. She lowered her head slightly and remained silent, hiding all her depression, anxiety, grief and anger deep in her heart.
"Xiaoqing, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Sun Ningqing remained silent and neither ate nor drank, Lin Zixuan asked with concern.
"It's nothing. The little girl doesn't understand what happened on the battlefield." Su Ningqing put away her thoughts and managed a smile.
"Oh, then just eat. After you've eaten, go back and rest."
"Your Majesty, may I ask if the imperial master did not come today?" Su Ningqing asked boldly.
Just now, Suningqing glanced around and saw that the people below were actually some roughnecks in the countryside. They looked like some brave and foolhardy people. Since the national master could control all this behind the scenes, he must not be that flamboyant or rude.
people.
"Oh, the Imperial Master doesn't like to make noise. He never attends these banquets."
Lin Zixuan's words confirmed Su Ningqing's conjecture. However, her intuition told her that the reason why the Imperial Master did not come to a place like this was not because he did not like to make noise. There must be something hidden.
"I really want to meet this legendary figure." Su Ningqing pretended to be a nymphomaniac, full of admiration. At the end, he did not forget to add, "I think he must be an outstanding person like His Majesty."
"Okay, I'll let you meet me when I get a chance." Lin Zixuan smiled happily.
"Then your Majesty, please don't break your promise."
She smiled playfully. With such a guarantee, Su Ningqing felt a little more refreshed.
"Of course not."
After the banquet, Su Ningqing helped Lin Zixuan rest. She specially added a stronger amount of soothing incense to prevent Lin Zixuan from waking up easily, and she went to the military camp again.
The war had just ended at this time. Although the Tianzhao Kingdom won the battle, it was inevitable that some people would be injured. Naturally, she, a medical woman, could go to the wounded barracks for a walk. When going to the military camp, Su Ningqing made a special detour.
, walked past the door of the room where the Imperial Master lived.
Before she reached the door, Su Ningqing was very alert and listened carefully to every move inside. She did not dare to stop and pretended to pass by accidentally. From the outside, this room looked no different from other rooms.
, there was no movement inside at the moment.
When passing by the Imperial Master's room, Su Ningqing deliberately left something on the ground so that it would be easier for her to do things at night.
military camp
After arriving at the military camp, Su Ningqing was even more surprised. Everyone in Tianzhao Kingdom who was injured and uninjured were in high spirits. One by one, they sat together in groups, bragging about their military exploits. Of course, they did not forget to belittle Hua Ling.
country.
Suning Qing had just taken two steps in the military camp when he heard a lot of information about the war.
Although they were proud, the soldiers also regretted not annihilating the Hualing Kingdom in one fell swoop, but actually letting them run away. If they had wiped them all out at once, that would be enough for them to brag about for the rest of their lives.
While Su Ningqing bandaged them and treated their wounds, he briefly chatted with them, trying his best to find out about the situation in Hualing Country. Everyone present did not know what everything was about. Although they described the whole thing very mysteriously,
At least they all said the same thing.
Everything is weird.
"These people are really insidious and cunning."
"Yeah, it feels like they're like gophers."
"What secret method do you think they used? Why did so many living people suddenly disappear on the battlefield?"
"Who knows? Otherwise, we would definitely eat them alive."
"That's right, it's so exciting to kill them there."
"Recuperate here well! The Imperial Master will definitely be able to find the problem."
"Yes, the Imperial Master must have a way to deal with them."
"Next time, let these gophers have nowhere to hide."
…………
The more those people spoke, the more unpleasant they sounded. However, according to what they said, Hualing Kingdom was not completely wiped out.
According to the descriptions of the soldiers of the Tianzhao Kingdom, it is unknown what kind of strange secret method the Hualing Kingdom used to make thousands of living people suddenly disappear on the battlefield.
At that time, they were fighting fiercely, and the soldiers of Tianzhao Kingdom were preparing to pursue the victory. Suddenly, a large amount of smoke appeared on the battlefield, which made them unable to open their eyes and couldn't see clearly what was in front of them, but they felt uncomfortable.
It took a few minutes.
When the smoke dissipated, all Hualing Kingdom's troops disappeared.
You must know that the people of Tianzhao Kingdom did not even hear the clatter of horse hooves, and the enemy left quietly. They followed the trend and pursued for a while, but still found no trace of Hualing Kingdom.
They continued to move forward and found only a dilapidated military camp, but there was no one inside. Helpless, the soldiers of Tianzhao Kingdom had no choice but to return without success.
Therefore, Tianzhao Kingdom felt that Hualing Kingdom was like a gopher, drilling a hole in the ground, hiding itself, and then suddenly disappeared.
Su Ningqing chatted casually, deliberately pretending not to understand, and occasionally smiled knowingly.
After hearing the end, Suningqing vaguely felt that it shouldn't be that bad. If that was the case, Shuojin would be fine.
The descriptions of this group of people were so mysterious that Shuo Jin must have used some novel Qi Men Dun Jia, causing everyone to flee. Su Ningqing firmly believed that Shuo Jin would create a miracle! And she would also create a miracle for Shuo Jin!
In fact, all this was Shuojin's order.
Shuojin’s last order was: run!
Shuo Jin knew that if Tianzhao Kingdom still used the strange army from last time, his men would not be their opponents at all. Before he figured out a good countermeasure, he could not let his brothers take risks.
Since they can't defeat them, they should run away first and just hold on to the last line of border defense. Only by saving their lives can they have a chance to make a comeback.
Early in the morning, Shuojin asked General Liu and his group to pack their belongings and evacuate first. They almost completely moved the military camp and hid in the mountains.
Shuo Jin, on the other hand, led a small number of people, used blinding methods to hold back the enemy, and held on until the end.
Therefore, the tens of thousands of troops that everyone in Tianzhao Kingdom saw were actually only a dozen or so scattered people. They were just empty shells.
After that, Shuo Jin found the right opportunity and took advantage of Tianzhao Kingdom's unpreparedness. He used his homemade equipment to throw a large amount of smoke into the air, confusing Tianzhao Kingdom's mind. The smoke was not only to obscure Tianzhao Kingdom's soldiers.
His sight was designed to make them hallucinate.
Tianzhao Kingdom thought that Hualing Kingdom's army suddenly disappeared, but in fact it was not the case. Shuojin and the others just hid in the darkness first.
