Liu Ling came out of the Ministry of War and did not go to the palace again. Instead, he returned directly to the palace. Ji Chengyun had been arranged to ambush in front of Pei Hao's palace. Now that the military situation was urgent, Pei Hao's affairs were no longer important. After returning to the palace,
He asked Zhao Da to send a message to Ji Chengyun and come to the palace to see him in the evening. As for Pei Hao, he left it alone.
Liu Ling has already thought about it. After all, Pei Hao is still a good person and cannot be abandoned. For now, he can only take this guy to the south. If he makes some achievements in the south, he will return to the court in the future.
It would be easier to talk.
As for Sima Lu, and the person behind Sima Lu, we can only let it go for the time being. Sima Lu and the master behind him are not fools, and they understand the principle of the tree falling and the hozen scattering. As long as the Northern Han Dynasty exists, they can still live in corruption and violation of the law.
They are carefree and carefree, counting a lot of money. If the Northern Han Dynasty falls, they will also die together. Therefore, Liu Ling believes that neither Sima Lu nor the person behind him will come out to cause trouble at this time.
.
Taking the troop deployment order from the Ministry of War, Liu Ling called Zhao Er and Huasanlang over.
He handed a token to Zhao Er and said: "You take two hundred soldiers, take this token, and then my king's military order, under the banner of my loyal prince, quickly go to Meizhou Jianxiong Army."
The first battalion is stationed. Directly send an order to the general of the first battalion, Tuoba Lu, telling him that he must lead the army and horses to leave on time. If he delays or resists the order, you will directly kill him and seize the military power!"
Zhao Er took the order talisman, clasped his fists and said: "I obey the order!"
Liu Lingyou said to Hua Sanlang: "Sanlang, you also take two hundred soldiers and go to Meizhou to build the second battalion of the Xiong Army under my banner. Tell Pang Wandong, the general of the second battalion, that if I can't see you after three days after arriving in Yingzhou,
For the soldiers and horses of his second battalion, let him commit suicide. Just like Zhao Er, if Pang Wandong has any objections, he will be punished on the spot!"
Hanasaburo took the order and said loudly: "I have the order!"
Liu Ling waved his hand: "Go ahead and pick fast horses from the Ministry of War, two for each person. Don't worry about the horse power. The faster the better!"
The two of them knelt down at the same time, said something to please the prince, and then turned around and left in a hurry.
After sending Zhao Er and Hua Sanlang away, Liu Ling called a soldier and said: "Pass my order to have Chen Yuanshan, the commander of the Gyeonggi Camp, General Du Wei, General Hao Lianshan, General Liu Zhen, and General Zhao Ba come to the palace to see you immediately.
I! Send an order to ask General Zhaoxian of the Auxiliary State, General Sun Sheng of the Wei State, Liu Mao, the Marquis of Huting, Wang Banjin, the Marquis of Zhongyi, and Cheng Yihou, the Marquis of Sanjiang, to come over to discuss matters!"
The soldier responded, quickly turned around and ran away.
These soldiers all lived life and death with Liu Ling in the south. They usually don't show much. Now when the war is about to begin, the quality of these soldiers is fully revealed. At this time, Liu Ling's words are more effective than the imperial edict.
. As long as Liu Ling said a word, they would not hesitate at all even if they knew that they were going to die. Whatever Liu Ling asked them to do, they would risk their lives for it.
After calling another soldier, Liu Ling said: "Go and see if Zhou Yangong has woken up. If he does, tell him to come over and see me!"
The soldier responded with a shout, turned around and ran towards Zhou Yangong's yard.
After making these arrangements, Liu Ling ordered a soldier: "Gather all the soldiers in the mansion and ask them to wait in the martial arts field."
After saying that, Liu Ling walked to the study room.
Liu Meier seemed to have heard something, and she and Minhui were waiting for him at the door of the study. When he saw Liu Meier's worried eyes, Liu Ling felt warm in his heart. This little girl, her whole mind was on herself.
On her body. In her heart, maybe Liu Ling is more important than her own life.
Just when Liu Mei'er was about to speak, Liu Ling waved his hand and did not shy away from Minhui. He took Liu Mei'er's hand and said, "I'll give you two choices. One, rest in peace and I will give you a status when I come back. Two, follow me.
Go to the south, then serve the prince, eat, drink, bathe and sleep."
Liu Mei'er was stunned for a moment, then quickly raised her hand and stretched out her index and middle fingers to make a gesture, with a soft smile on her face but she said one word decisively: "Two!"
Liu Ling couldn't help but feel a little sorry for this little girl's stubbornness. He rubbed Liu Mei'er's forehead lovingly and said, "Well, you are indeed good enough. Why don't you choose to wait for me at home?"
Liu Meier didn't understand what Liu Ling meant when he said she was good enough. She only knew that if she didn't stay with the prince this time, she would regret it for the rest of her life. She didn't want to think about anything now, she just wanted to be with him all the time.
By the prince's side. Even if I can't do anything to help, I just look at the prince from a distance. If the prince is tired, I will stand behind the prince and give him a massage. If the prince is tired, I will prepare for the prince.
Hot water, rub the prince's back.
If...if something happens to the prince, then I will accompany the prince. Together, they will have a companion on the Huangquan Road. When they get down there, I will be a maid for the prince! No matter what status he has or not,
As long as I can stay with the prince every day, I will be happy even if I am a maid for a lifetime, ten lifetimes or a hundred lifetimes!
Liu Ling smiled and said: "Go ahead and prepare a table of food and wine. Your Majesty, I will treat someone to dinner later."
Liu Meier responded and happily pulled Minhui away. When the two of them turned around, Liu Ling saw the little girl Minhui looking at him with a resentful look. From her eyes, Liu Ling seemed to see something that did not belong to her.
The sentiment of age. This look in his eyes made Liu Ling feel panicked, but he immediately laughed at himself for being too preoccupied. He was just a thirteen-year-old kid.
Liu Ling pulled Minhui and chuckled: "Don't be so shabby. We invite generals who are good at conquering and fighting. We need more wine and more meat. Don't be reluctant to part with it."
He paused and said word by word: "No one knows how many of the men who came to the house for dinner today will come back alive..."
Liu Meier and Minhui were both stunned, and it took them a while to recover. At this time, Liu Meier's face no longer had that cheerful expression. Like Minhui, she had a sad look on her face. Together they gave
Liu Ling saluted and said solemnly: "I know this, slave, don't be reluctant, have more wine and more meat!"
Liu Ling nodded and immediately walked into the study.
When he entered the study, Zhao Da was already waiting for him inside. He stood at the door of the secret passage, with half of his body hidden in the secret passage. Seeing Liu Ling come in, Zhao Da knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.
head.
"Your Majesty, Ji Chengyun has already sent a message."
Liu Ling nodded and said, "Get up."
Among the people around Liu Ling now, only Zhao Da knows about the existence of Ji Chengyun's group. Even Zhao Er, Hua Sanlang, and even Liu Mei'er don't know that Liu Ling has such a group of loyal and loyal soldiers. But Liu Ling does not.
The reason for hiding this from Zhao Da is simple. In a sense, Zhao Da is a dead person just like Ji Chengyun.
"How many people are there in the Shadow Guard now?"
After Liu Ling sat down, he looked up at the portraits of his parents and asked.
Zhao Da Dao: "My subordinates just rearranged the Shadow Guards a few days ago. There are now 468 Shadow Guards in total. My subordinates have divided them into four levels according to their personal abilities. The lowest is in terms of physical ability.
There are three hundred and sixty people in total. They are all the lowest-level shadow guards. Their subordinates call them iron-clad shadow guards, wearing black clothes. Those who are one level stronger than them are called bronze-clad shadow guards by their subordinates.
There are eighty-six guards in total, wearing red clothes. No matter how strong they are, their subordinates will call them silver-clothed shadow guards. There are only twenty people, wearing white clothes. These twenty people are currently the most powerful among the shadow guards.
A person who can defeat hundreds of enemies!"
"The highest level, the subordinates call them the Golden Shadow Guards, there are only... two of them."
"oh?"
Liu Ling became interested and asked: "How are the Iron-clad Shadow Guards' skills?"
Zhao Da Dao: "With my subordinate's skills, I can deal with at most six or seven people, and I can escape with my life. If there are more, I will die."
"Where is the bronze-clad shadow guard?"
"With the skills of my subordinates, it is already the limit to deal with two or three people. I will lose but never win."
"Silver-clad Shadow Guard?"
"With my subordinates' skills, I may be invincible one-on-one, but I am certain to die against two-on-one."
"Where's the golden-clad shadow guard?"
Liu Ling was already excited at this time. Let’s not mention the iron-clad shadow guards and the bronze-clad shadow guards for now. The silver-clad shadow guards are simply treasures. Twenty people with the same skill as Zhao Da can be used to sneak attack, assassinate, and steal on the battlefield.
The intelligence was like a special operations team! The silver-clad shadow guards were already like this, and Liu Ling became even more interested in the gold-clad shadow guards, who were so few in number that there were only two of them.
Zhao Da took a breath and said with a serious face: "My subordinates don't know."
Liu Ling was stunned, and then asked: "I don't know?"
Zhao Da solemnly nodded and explained: "With my subordinate's skills, I can't test the depth of these two people's cultivation. I just know that any of these two people can be killed easily."
Subordinates. With their abilities, there is no way to know how strong they are!"
Hearing this, Liu Ling couldn't help but take a breath. This Zhao Da is indeed a talent. I don't know what means he used to recruit two such top masters! You must know that Zhao Da is more skilled than him.
His younger brother Zhao Er was even that much stronger, and the two golden-clad shadow guards were able to defeat Zhao Da casually. This shows how powerful these two people are.
I wonder what it would be like if I faced Ji Chengyun?
"Where did you find these two golden-clad shadow guards?"
This is the issue that Liu Ling is most concerned about right now. If those two people come from evil sources, no matter how powerful they are, they will not be able to use it, and they will even have to kill them to silence them. Liu Ling can't think of any reason why they would be willing to do so for such outstanding people.
Be a shadow guard living in the shadows! You won't be famous, and no one will know about it even if you die.
Zhao Da saw Liu Ling's worries and explained: "These two people are twin brothers. The elder brother is called Nie Rendi and the younger brother is Nie Renwang. They were introduced by Ji Chengyun. Ji Chengyun said that these two people had rescued
He is someone who can be trusted with his life. Moreover, these two people must find a place to hide because of something they cannot tell anyone. His subordinates also asked about the origins of these two brothers, and Ji Chengyun also said that he did not know.
It is said that these two brothers have great backgrounds, but their enemies have even greater backgrounds, so these two brothers came to him when they had no choice but to introduce him to Shadow Guards."
Liu Ling nodded and said, "Everyone has their own secrets, which is understandable. However, are you sure you can control such a person?"
Zhao Da nodded: "Your Majesty, my subordinates have observed these two people. With their skills, they must be famous figures in the world. However, my subordinates have checked and found that there is no famous pair of twins in the world.
The brothers are called Nie Rendi and Nie Renwang. Obviously, they concealed their real names. People with such cultivation level need to hide their names to avoid being hunted. This shows how powerful the enemies of the two brothers are."
"but……"
Zhao Da said confidently: "The more this happens, the easier it is to control such people!"
Liu Ling smiled and said: "Okay, since you are so confident, I won't interfere much. But you have to remember that the shadow guards are your people, they are responsible for you, and you are also responsible for them. And you are my people, you
Be responsible for me, and I must be responsible for you, don’t let me down!” (To be continued)
