PS: Sincere thanks to Wei Ningxiang for her explosive reward.
PS2: I didn’t come home until 7 o’clock in the evening from my classmates today. After playing for a long time and a whole night, this chapter was rushed out. A large chapter of 5,700 words will not be divided into two chapters. Tomorrow is the last day of the holiday.
I don’t know if I have time to code more. Before the holiday, I planned to code a lot of words, but unfortunately it was just a beautiful fantasy. There are too many trivial things, so I’m sorry. Also: Please add it to your collection.
Hearing Minhui's words, Liu Ling's heart moved inexplicably. For some reason, the anger in his heart also disappeared a lot. Maybe it was because of Minhui, maybe because of her words.
Looking at the military order he had written down, Liu Ling re-examined his previous decision in his mind. He turned around and said to Minhui with a smile: "It's too late, go to bed first, don't wait for me."
Minhui showed her beautiful teeth and smiled and said: "I missed the sleepiness and can't fall asleep. Please make tea for the prince."
Liu Ling knew that although this little girl looked gentle, she was actually a decisive person. If she refused to sleep and didn't want to sleep, she might not be able to sleep even if he pushed her onto the bed.
"Okay, let's make tea. Just..."
Liu Ling paused for a moment, looked at Minhui's questioning expression and said with a smile, "Stop taking the medicine."
Minhui blushed, did not dare to speak, lowered her head and went to pack the tea-making utensils. Liu Ling looked at Minhui's busy appearance, and the irritability in his heart became weaker. He was indeed angry before, and for the first time
He was so angry that he could hardly control his emotions. He knew that in the position he was in now, he could no longer express his emotions and emotions. But as he said himself, he was not a saint who was impervious to water and fire.
.This accidental anger can be regarded as a manifestation of true temperament.
In fact, to be honest, he was not very angry, but more disappointed. He was disappointed with Wang Banjin and disappointed with himself. Although Minhui's few words were simple, they had nothing to do with Wang Banjin.
But it touched the depths of Liu Ling's heart. He suddenly thought, was he too demanding on his subordinates? Or was he just like a parent, arranging everything properly, and the children would be without him?
The room for exertion may give rise to some rebellious psychology.
Didn't Wang Banjin think at that time that it might be a trap by the party members? Perhaps he just wanted to show something and declare that he could do better.
Liu Ling smiled and used children and parents to compare the relationship between the generals and himself. I don't know if it is very appropriate. But thinking about it, it is not much different. If Wang Banjin wants to fight a beautiful victory, he must not
I type it for myself, which is the same as when a child gets good grades and shows off in front of his parents.
You can't just beat a kid to death who accidentally fails.
Thinking of this, Liu Ling crumpled the military order he had written before into a ball, turned around and stuffed it into the small fire that Minhui had just lit. The flames suddenly became stronger.
"Order, Sanjiang Marquis Cheng Yihou leads his army to attack Suizhou and Yinzhou to relieve the pressure on Lanzhou."
"Order, Jinzhou Tongshou Maoyuan reorganizes his troops and pays close attention to the situation in Lanzhou. If anything goes wrong, he will immediately send his troops north and set up defenses in the Jingzhou and Shizhou areas. Don't let Dangxiang's army besiege Taiyuan."
"Order Zhongyihou Wang Banjin to write down the process of defeat and reflection and send someone to Zhaozhou. He will be demoted by two levels and fined for two years. He will temporarily retain the post of marshal of the Western Army. If he behaves unwisely again, he will be punished.
If the army is damaged, it will not be pardoned! From now on, any deployment of more than 20,000 horses by the Zhenxi Army must be carried out with the consent of both Wang Banjin and Zhou Yangong."
After writing these three points, Liu Ling continued to write to Zhou Yangong.
The letter only started at the beginning and could no longer be written. Liu Ling didn't know what words to use to comfort or praise Zhou Yangong. Since the old prime minister Lu Sen gradually faded out of the court due to health reasons two years ago, Zhou Yangong has now
Replacing him as the head of the civil service. Although he does not have the title of prime minister, he still exercises the power of prime minister. It can be said that he is an indispensable figure in the Han court today. There is no way to pull him out of the court and send him to the border. If
Wang Banjin, a veteran who had been on the battlefield for many years, had to rely on a scholar to rescue him in the end. In fact, in a sense, it was the shame of the soldiers and the glory of Zhou Yangong.
Liu Ling gave him a lot of what Zhou Yangong deserved, including being a high-ranking official and a noble man. Liu Ling treated Zhou Yangong as a national scholar, and Zhou Yangong repaid him as a national scholar. In fact, there was no need to use gold, silver, etc. between the two of them.
What does it mean to express something, and Zhou Yangong’s pursuit is to assist Liu Ling to become the supreme king in the world, and to assist the Han Dynasty to become the strongest in the world. This is his dream and his pursuit.
In the end, Liu Ling only wrote one sentence, about a dozen words, in that letter.
But when Duke Yan of Zhou came to his senses and saw these words, he laughed with relief and shed tears.
"If you continue to despise life and death so much, I will never erect a monument for you."
It was already late at night after Liu Ling finished handling the matters at hand, and the candlelight on the carriage was still bright, but Minhui couldn't help but fell asleep on the desk. One of her delicate hands was still placed on the inkstone to keep it steady.
He was holding a grinding posture, his small nose flapped gently, but he did not sleep soundly. His brows were slightly wrinkled, as if he had something on his mind. Liu Ling stretched and sat up straight, the joints on his body
There was a snapping sound. He looked back at Minhui and smiled, then picked her up and put her on the bed.
Minhui opened her hazy sleepy eyes and looked at Liu Ling apologetically. She opened her mouth to say something but was sealed by Liu Ling's lips.
"Go to sleep and don't say anything."
Covering Minhui with the quilt, Liu Ling looked at the hourglass and estimated that the time was around three in the morning. Although he felt a little sleepy, he thought that it was not long before dawn, so there was no need to sleep anymore. He jumped from the carriage
He got down and casually took off the scimitar hanging at the door of the carriage.
In the open space not far from the carriage, Liu Ling flashed his robe, jogged a few times, and then began to practice sword skills. It was said to be sword skills, but in fact, there was no routine for him to use the sword like this.
His sword skills are all techniques for fighting enemies that have been honed on the battlefield. Therefore, the movements may seem simple and clear, but their power cannot be underestimated.
When he practiced swordsmanship, he did not follow a certain routine. Instead, when he started practicing swordsmanship, he began to imagine in his mind that the enemy would attack him from a certain direction with a certain weapon and a certain move. Then he would
The knife in his hand is used to find the opponent's flaws. Therefore, his movements when practicing the knife are not very coherent and thorough. When others watch him practice the knife, it is difficult to see how superb his knife skills are.
One second he imagined an enemy stabbing his throat with a knife from the left side. After this image appeared in his mind, he immediately made a response. He used a knife to break the throat. The next second, maybe he thought of the enemy stabbing him with a knife.
Attack him from behind and chop him on the back of the neck, and then think of ways to defeat the threat of this knife. So sometimes his knife suddenly stops while it is whirring and chopping, and he stands there thinking hard.
This is a very targeted sword-training method that relies entirely on his own imagination. Liu Ling doesn't know if he was the first to think of this method. But there is no doubt that this method has helped him a lot. No.
It's beautiful, incoherent, not majestic, and doesn't have the momentum of an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. This is the scene of Liu Ling practicing his sword.
Therefore, many of his generals could not understand why the prince could not see how mysterious he was when practicing his swordsmanship. Why did the prince hardly encounter any opponents on the battlefield? They did not know that Liu Ling had to fight to survive.
After a lot of hard work, he clearly understood the advantages and disadvantages of every weapon in this era, and then thought about how to use the knife in his hand to break the moves and routines of those weapons one by one.
In order to make his reactions more sensitive and his strikes faster, he would practice the simplest chopping movements hundreds or even thousands of times a day. Now, when his mind
Li only imagined where the enemy would attack with what weapon, and at the same time, his body was already able to make corresponding movements.
This is just like a table tennis player who has to practice the action of drawing the ball many times every day. When the opponent hits the ball in the right position, he will naturally draw the ball.
In his last life, he was a cripple who was paralyzed in bed and unable to move. Since he was born very healthy in this life, he must make himself stronger to maintain his health.
Liu Ling never concealed that he was afraid of death, and it was precisely because of his fear of death that he forced himself to work harder and harder.
At some point, when Liu Ling was covered in sweat and stopped to rest, he realized that Nie She was standing beside the carriage watching him practice his sword. Liu Ling picked up a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, grabbed his robe and walked over.
Asked: "Why did you wake up so early, or did you never sleep at all?"
Nie She did not answer his words but asked: "Your sword skills are very confusing and I can't understand them."
He stretched out his fingers one by one and said: "In the first move, you should use the sword to break the sword. What you should practice is the sword technique of fighting immediately, so the movement looks very awkward, but there is no doubt that from that direction
All the attacking routes were blocked by you. In the second stance, you used your sword to break the sword, and suddenly you changed from a strong and domineering sword stance to a light and elegant one. The transition was too abrupt, and it looked even more...
Awkward. In the third move, you break the gun with the knife, dodge, and then press the blade of the knife on the gun shaft to sweep across the enemy's arms. This move is very cruel and spicy. With the speed of your sword, the enemy's hands must not be protected. Obviously
Next, you can cut off the enemy's head with a knife, but why do you suddenly change your movement in the next move and stab backward with the knife?"
Liu Ling laughed and said: "It looks weird? You can see so much and it's already a mess. If you don't understand some parts and you have doubts, that's because I don't have any rules at all in my practice."
Nie She frowned and said: "There is another question. You are obviously afraid of death. I know this clearly, but why are there so many life-threatening moves in your sword skills?"
Liu Ling explained: "On the battlefield, even if I am afraid of death, sometimes I still take life very lightly."
"You are a strange person."
Nie Shedao.
Liu Ling wiped his sweat and said, "I have always been a strange person. Did you just discover this now?"
Nie She said: "No, I just don't understand. With your skills and cultivation, Yu Xiaolou may not be able to hurt you. Since you have already calculated that Yu Xiaolou will attack on the boat, you have calculated his escape route."
Why are you still trying so hard to find me a way out?"
Liu Ling said sincerely: "Because I'm afraid of death."
He smiled sincerely: "I have never fought against Yu Xiaolou, so I don't know if I can stop him. Even if I knew that Yu Xiaolou and I were in the same league, I still wouldn't relax. No.
With you, I'm only 50-50 sure. But with you, I'm 100% sure. Do you think I would give up victory and choose narrow victory?"
Nie She suddenly said: "That day on the big ship, I used Yu Xiaolou's blood to kill his man. I never saw that man's body afterwards, but now I want to see it."
"People have been burned to ashes long ago, and you can't see them anymore."
Liu Ling smiled and said: "I can tell you that the man you killed was the most capable one among Yu Xiaolou's men. His name was Huang Han. He was indeed penetrated by a drop of blood you shot with your finger in the forehead.
And when he died, there was a hole the size of his butthole on his forehead."
He paused and said, "He also has a hole in his heart."
Looking at Nie She's serious expression, Liu Ling said helplessly: "I shot it with the wrist crossbow on my wrist."
He raised his arm and said: "It's this kind of thing. It can shoot three plants in a row. It's a little less powerful, but it's still enough to kill people. You know, I'm very afraid of death, so I always have a lot of life-saving things on me."
. Things like wrist crossbows, poison needles, poisonous sand, ecstasy, and thunder bullets are all things that cannot be missed."
Nie She sighed: "I finally know now that even if you and Yu Xiaolou were to fight head-on, he would not be able to kill you. Perhaps, he would be forced into a panic by your unsavory tricks. But, since I
You’ve already killed him, why do you still need to refill that crossbow?”
Liu Ling said: "Double insurance, so I can feel more at ease."
"People who are greedy for life and afraid of death are always very cautious."
Nie She said: "You asked people to burn Huang Han's body so quickly. Are you afraid that people will find out? In fact, you are just a little slower than the unparalleled Mr. Nie in the world? You also don't want people to know that you have
Are there so many weapons for self-defense?”
Liu Ling said: "Both, and the other thing is that the crossbow arrows are poisonous. If his body is thrown into the river, I don't know how many fish and shrimps will be poisoned. The poisons developed by the Fifth Division of the Supervisory Yuan are always very powerful.
."
"You're a freak!"
Nie She said: "You are cruel and ruthless, killing people without blinking an eye, but you still think about not poisoning those fish and shrimps?"
Liu Ling spread his hands and said: "My heart is indeed very cruel, and I kill a lot of people. But one thing is for sure, I have more people alive. Sometimes in order to let myself live well, in order to let more people live well
As long as you live, killing is inevitable."
Nie She said: "I can't understand you more and more."
Liu Ling asked with a smile: "So you plan to stay with me for a while?"
Nie She said: "Please stay for a few more days. I will leave after the war starts again."
"Why?"
"You know, I'm not used to war."
Nie Shedao: "What you said is correct. After all, I still can't get used to the smell of blood. You don't want me to hinder your progress. If you want to frighten the enemy, you can kill thousands of people in one breath like you did in Laihe County."
There are only a few heads left. I don’t know if I have the courage to look at the heads that can pile up into a mountain. If you use fire attacks to burn tens of thousands of enemy soldiers to death in one breath, I don’t know if I will not be able to help you for a while.
Being patient will ruin your plan. If you finally win and slaughter the Khitan race in one breath, I don't know if I can't help but point a sword at your throat to force you not to do that."
Liu Ling said: "Maybe... after seeing it too much, you won't care so much."
Nie Shedao: "You and I are still different after all. Although you and I are each other's only friends in this world. Although you intend to change me, I have never intended to change you. You have a brilliant future, but I still only want to change you."
Just be a bystander. Being able to witness is enough."
Liu Ling thought for a while and said, "Give me a few years. In a few years, maybe I will change something."
Nie She smiled and said: "You are changing the world. If you still haven't changed in the end, that's what I want to see."
Liu Ling said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. What I am thinking about is where are you going to go after you leave?"
Nie She did not answer him immediately. After a long time, he said: "Jinling."
"I want to wait for you in Jinling. There... I once saw there, soldiers holding plaster flags and holding strange firearms massacred hundreds of thousands of people. I went there once, but I didn't know you at that time.
I still don’t have a thorough understanding of killing. Now that I want to face it head-on, I plan to go see it again. As for you, you will have to go to Jinling sooner or later. I will wait for you there first. I hope that you will not
Do what I saw."
Liu Ling nodded and said: "Don't worry, everything you saw in Jinling, I will do it on the other side of the sea. I have secretly gathered a large number of craftsmen to build a shipyard in Huazhou. After the matter in the north is settled,
I must go to the sea. I have killed countless people in my life, and I don’t care if I carry a few more murders. Killing a clan is actually not that difficult as long as you pass the test in your heart."
"Those soldiers are from the other side of the sea?"
Nie She asked.
"Yes."
Liu Ling replied: "It is said that they were immigrants from the pre-Qin period, but they later forgot their ancestral roots. Since it is a deformed branch, no matter how glorious and powerful it is in the future, it will still be annoying after all. I am a person who always does things based on my preferences.
According to this, if I like him and he is wrong, I can give him a chance to correct him. If I don't like him, even if he is right, I still don't like him."
Nie Camera shook his head and said, "I don't know why, but the first time I heard you say you wanted to massacre a nation, I didn't feel much resistance."
"I'll take you to see it then?"
Liu Ling asked with a smile.
Nie She asked: "Will your ship be very big?"
"It's big."
"How big is it?"
"Is that the kind of guy who can ride a horse and gallop on a boat?"
"Okay, I'll go take a look."
Liu Ling thought there was some profound meaning in Nie She's words, but before she could figure it out, she heard Nie She say shyly: "Because I get seasick and will vomit while on a boat."
He smiled and said, "You know, Sword Immortal is a human being too, and he can also vomit."
The two of them talked endlessly, and the topics were as wild as they came. One moment they talked about the ocean to the mountains, and the next moment they talked about the aircraft carrier to the monster Godzilla. Anyway, Nie She asked all the questions he could think of, while Liu Ling asked what he knew.
Tell them all. That distant era long, long ago made Nie She yearn for it very much.
"When I was in Jinling, I once saw in my vision a fire-breathing iron bird flying in the sky. It was huge and terrifying. Is that true? What kind of monster is that?"
"That's called an airplane. It's a machine that can fly in the sky."
"Man-made?"
"Well, that's right."
"How high can it fly?"
"The highest one can fly out of this world and beyond the sky."
"Can I borrow time and space and fly to this world?"
"It seems... impossible, unless it's a plot thought up by those boring Internet writers. Time travel is no longer impossible."
"I hope I can board the flying chicken you mentioned, and then go to the world you came from to see."
Liu Ling thought for a while and said seriously: "According to probability, you will be struck by lightning faster, but there is no guarantee that you will reach your expected destination. Maybe you will go to a brand new world, where there will be no fancy and colorful things."
The magic is only the fighting spirit that has been multiplied to its peak!"
(Haha, I just wrote it like this. If you don’t change it, let it be. This sentence is the most meaningless sentence in the conversation between Liu Ling and Nie She today. It has no meaning at all. But for other words, see
It sounds like the words used in chatting and spanking are all foreshadowing. Where Mr. Nie will go in the future may be hidden in these words.)
After saying this, Liu Ling smiled.
Chatting with Nie She always brings back too many memories. (To be continued)
