The giant rat and Xiaodian walked around outside the big tent for a few times, but could not get in. For a while, they scratched their heads and found that there was no Dongxia army guarding the area near the big tent.
Suddenly Ji Ling'er's voice came from its mind: Xiaodian, get under the ground! Be careful to hide!
The giant rat understood it. A gray light lit up on its body, and its body quickly shrank. In the blink of an eye, it turned into an ordinary little mouse, and its breath disappeared completely.
It found a position on the side of the tent, and quickly dug down with its two little paws, and soon dug a small hole and went in.
Suddenly a small hole opened in the tent, and a small head sneakily emerged.
At this time, there were two people in the tent, one of whom was Bai Guhan, and the other was Qi Guangren, the young master of the East Palace. Like a bolt of lightning, Xiaodian penetrated into a hidden corner and peered at them, but the two of them did not notice.
Your Majesty has already eliminated Bai Lingshuang for His Royal Highness. You are now the only heir to Dongxia. Don’t forget the promise you made to Your Majesty! Qi Guangren sat on the simple bed and said weakly.
That's natural. It's hard for Bai Lingshuang to achieve anything big. If he hadn't been born a few years earlier, who would have taken the crown prince's position. I have tolerated it for so many years. Bai Lingshuang thought that I would be able to assist him with peace of mind until he died. The guy with brains becomes the king of Dongxia, and Dongxia will be annexed by the enemy sooner or later.
Bai Guhan's eyes lit up as he spoke, and he continued to say proudly: When I become the king of Dongxia, I, the Dongxia Dynasty, will surely unify the Central Plains. The Dongxia Dynasty will create an unprecedented prosperous age, and I, Bai Guyhan, will become the leader of Dongxia. The founding emperor of the dynasty will be famous for generations to come!
Hearing this, Qi Guangren smiled and said: Your Majesty chose you because you are ambitious enough. It should be a good choice for you to end this troubled world.
Ling Shuang is too benevolent and has no ambition. Such a person is not suitable to be the hero who conquers the world. Although he can't bear it, he can only sacrifice him for the great cause. Qi Guangren's eyes dimmed a lot, and he looked melancholy. He seemed to feel a little guilty about Bai Lingshuang's death.
There's no one else here, so sir, you don't have to act like a cat crying like a mouse! Bai Guhan said with disdain.
Qi Guangren smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I cannot be as affectionate as His Highness the Second Highness. Ling Shuang grew up under my guidance, so he naturally has feelings."
Qi Guangren, you were the one who killed Bai Lingshuang. I can only sit back and enjoy the results. Put away your hypocritical face. The mockery on Bai Guhan's face became even stronger.
Believe it or not. Qi Guangren looked indifferent, then his face turned serious and he said: Your Highness, now that the war is over, what are your plans for the future?
Bai Guhan said angrily: "I am now the only heir apparent in Dongxia, Qi Guangren. You have called me your second highness over and over again. Do you think I won't kill you?"
Qi Guangren was a little stunned. After a moment, he stretched out a finger and said: I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made two mistakes. First, you can become the only Crown Prince of Dongxia not because of your strength, but because His Majesty chose you. Your Majesty can make you the king of Dongxia and can also make you fall from that position!
Bai Guhan's expression turned gloomy when he heard this, but he soon showed a respectful expression and said: "Sir, what you said makes sense, I lost my temper. He is completely different from the previous one. His face changed so quickly that it was staggering."
Qi Guangren, however, had no intention of showing mercy to others. He snorted coldly, and a black shadow suddenly appeared next to him. It was Qi Guangren in black who killed Bai Lingshuang.
After Qi Guangren in black appeared, he immediately attacked Bai Guhan. Bai Guhan was also a small master and a strong man, so it was impossible to sit still and wait for death. However, the two of them only exchanged a few moves, and Bai Guhan was already unable to parry. Qi Guangren in black was unable to parry. The short black blade was pressed against his neck.
Bai Guhan said in a panic: Sir, what does this mean?
Qi Guangren turned one finger into two and said indifferently: Secondly, Xiaguan is not a soft persimmon that His Highness can knead at will. You have mistaken the relationship of priority. Now you do not have the strength to challenge Xiaguan. , when you really become the King of Dongxia and want to deal with me, you have to think carefully, after all, you know very well who is behind me!
Although he called himself a lower official, his tone was not respectful at all, and his words were full of threats.
How could Bai Guhan dare to make a mistake at this moment? He immediately said: Sir, I don't dare anymore.
Qi Guangren ignored him, but cast his gaze not far away, where Xiao Jin was hiding. He snorted coldly: A little mouse actually ran in.
It's broken, it's been discovered, Xiaodian, run away! Ji Ling'er's panicked voice reached the sea of small computers, and Xiaodian immediately rushed into the hole.
Qi Guangren in black immediately chased out, but the small electric target was fast and its aura was well hidden, so Qi Guangren in black didn't even find it.
He just glanced outside the tent at the small hole made by the small electricity, and then returned to the tent. During this period, Bai Guhan did not dare to act rashly.
Seeing Qi Guangren in black coming back so soon, Bai Guhan was a little nervous and asked: Sir, what's going on?
Qi Guangren showed a playful smile and said: Your Highness, you are in trouble. The mouse that was eavesdropping just now should belong to Ji Ling'er, the daughter of the owner of the Valley of Beasts. You don't need to teach your highness what to do!
Ling'er Bai Guhan frowned deeply. He had feelings for Ji Ling'er, but now that something like this happened, he could only make a choice. After struggling for a moment, he said cruelly: Sir, I know what to do. Do!
After saying that, Bai Guyan walked out without looking back. Qi Guangren did not stop him. Qi Guangren in black disappeared the moment Bai Guyan walked out of the tent.
After leaving Qi Guangren's tent, Bai Guhan walked far away. He stopped, clenched his fists and said to himself angrily: Qi Guangren, I will remember today's humiliation. One day I will let you and your The master paid a heavy price for what happened today!
When Bai Guhan returned to the big tent, he immediately summoned the messengers to issue orders, and the entire army began to search for Ji Linger's whereabouts.
After Xiaodian escaped, he returned to Ji Ling'er's location at an extremely fast speed.
Just when Xiaodian approached Ji Ling'er, a light lit up on its head, and Ji Ling'er immediately woke up.
She said angrily: This Bai Guhan turns out to be this kind of person. Fortunately, I still like to play with him so much. This hypocrite is all pretending!
After being angry for a long time, she calmed down with a sad look on her face. She frowned and said: "It will be useless if I go back to report him. Brother Ling Shuang is dead. This guy is the only heir of Dongxia. Even if the King of Dongxia knows Most of these things about him are unlikely to do anything to him.
I don’t want to be the princess of such a person, but if he becomes the king of Dongxia, my father will not be able to protect me. What will I do? She said with a sad look on her face.
Although Ji Ling'er is playful and doesn't know much about men and women, she is not stupid.
Suddenly her eyes lit up and she said excitedly: Yes! In this case, I might as well leave Dongxia. The world is so big, there must be a lot of fun things!
Hey, but what will my parents do if I leave? Although even if this guy becomes the King of Dongxia, it is impossible for him to do anything to the Valley of Beasts, but dad and the others will definitely have no good results if they follow him. Her expression darkened again after a short time of excitement.
Forget it, just take it one step at a time. If something really happens, I will secretly return to the Valley of Beasts.
Ji Ling'er finally made up her mind. She called the two spirit beasts to her side, turned over and sat on the big yellow dog. At her signal, the little dian jumped up and landed firmly on her shoulders.
Let's go, let's go explore the world! Ji Ling'er raised her arms and shouted, and the big yellow dog flew away carrying a man and a mouse.
The Dongxia Army searched for a long time in a radius of dozens of miles, but found no trace of Ji Ling'er. Bai Guhan was not angry or afraid. He was even a little lucky in his heart. If Ji Ling'er was caught now, he would be forced to do so under the pressure of Qi Guangren. , he could only choose to sacrifice Ji Ling'er. Now this situation is what Bai Guhan is willing to see.
He could only lie that remnants of Taichu broke into the camp and kidnapped Ji Ling'er. Although the people in the Valley of Beasts didn't believe it, they didn't dare to offend Bai Guhan, so they could only send people to expand the search area, but Ji Ling'er Er had already left long ago, so they naturally returned without success.
Qi Guangren didn't mention a word about this matter after that, as if it was a trivial matter.
As for the hundreds of thousands of corpses on both sides, the surviving Dongxia Army could not bring them back. After the spring rain, the weather gradually became warmer, so Bai Guhan had to order them to be buried together.
Under Qi Guangren's persuasion, Bai Guyan ordered the corpses of Taichu soldiers to be buried in the same way.
Hundreds of thousands of corpses on the south bank of Yinmatan were all placed in two huge deep pits dug out. It looked particularly spectacular and sad. It took the Dongxia Army a whole day just to dig these two big pits.
There are much fewer corpses on the north bank of Yinmatan. There are many more Taichu soldiers who died there than those of the Dongxia Army. Burying corpses on the north bank is much simpler. The Luo River is too fast, especially after heavy rains. It was too difficult to transport the body from Yinma Shoal, so the only option was to bury it on the spot.
After the Dongxia Army was busy for a few days, Bai Guhan ordered the troops to return to the court. Although the soldiers were unwilling to do so, they had no choice but to break into Taichu with the few remaining troops. Not only would it be difficult to achieve success, but if they were unlucky, the entire army would Danger of annihilation.
The Dongxia army prepared and set off, leaving Yinmatan and entering the interior of Dongxia through Yinmaguan. There were only two huge tombs left not far from the south bank of Yinmatan, and two small tombs on the north bank. The erection of monuments and other matters will need to be arranged by the King of Dongxia in the future.
A few days have passed, and the traces of the fighting on the huge battlefield have begun to fade. As time goes by, one day there will be no traces of the great battle here, and no one will remember the victims except the relatives of the soldiers. name.
Just as the battle was taking place on Yinma Beach, outside Taichu Xuanjian City, Zhang Lingfeng and his more than 40,000 soldiers were already approaching the city.
Who is coming? A majestic voice sounded on the city wall, and the Dongxia army did not fire arrows immediately. In fact, most of the archers who surrendered from Dongxia were taken away by Bai Lingshuang, and there were very few left.
I am at Taichu Zhang Lingfeng! Which one are you? Zhang Lingfeng said proudly, as a general in the army, he naturally has his own arrogance.
Geng Jingzhong! The general on the city wall only said three words. The generals behind Zhang Lingfeng were in an uproar. Ordinary soldiers were frightened when they heard the name. Even Zhang Lingfeng himself was shocked.
Along the way to defend the city, Geng Jingzhong's reputation is even greater than that of contemporary famous generals such as Lin Chuhe and Sun Changqing.
One name could shake the enemy's morale. Geng Jingzhong was very satisfied with the effect and showed a proud smile.
Everyone in Zhang Lingfeng's account knew the purpose of coming here. With Geng Jingzhong and Xuanjian City as a big city, it was simply a dream to capture it with more than 40,000 troops.
Beside Zhang Lingfeng, an old general whispered: Lingfeng, it's not that I'm timid, but this city is difficult to attack, so our army should make other plans.
However, Zhang Lingfeng shook his head and said: Fighting requires courage. General Liang Da was afraid before the battle began. How can he be undefeated in this battle?
Liang Da looked ashamed when he heard this. After a moment, he said firmly: General Zhang is right. I am like a living dog at this age. I have not been able to fight clearly for so many years. I am afraid that he is just a master. Who is it? It's not like that! Liang Da is one of the two powerful masters under Zhang Lingfeng.
Brothers, do you believe it when they say that the Marshal is treasonous? Zhang Lingfeng ignored Liang Da and shouted loudly.
Do not believe! Do not believe! The voices of the soldiers rose and fell one after another. Although they were not uniform, they were loud and powerful.
Zhang Lingfeng continued to shout: Since the marshal has not treason, it is even more nonsense for the court to say that you and I are treason. This is our Taichu Xiongguan Xuanjian City, but now it has fallen into the hands of the Dongxia people. We are here today to tell you this. Dongxia people, Xuanjian City belongs to me, Taichu!
The soldiers were almost silent, and everyone's eyes seemed to be lit with fire, and the name of the fire was fighting spirit.
Today's battle is to clear your name and mine, and to clear Marshal Lin's name. This battle will be very difficult. If you want to leave, leave now. I will never stop you! Zhang Lingfeng drew his sword and shouted loudly.
Obviously, this is the last chance Zhang Lingfeng gives everyone to leave. If they don't leave, they will have to fight to the end!
Among the crowd, there was a thin figure moving towards the outside of the group, obviously wanting to leave. However, when he was about to walk out, a muscular man rushed up and beheaded him.
The strong man shouted loudly: "You are as timid as a mouse. It would be a shame for me, Zhang Yang, to become a robe with someone like you. Who would dare to leave?" Go through my publicity first!
The commotion here also attracted Zhang Lingfeng's attention. Zhang Lingfeng said dissatisfied: I will tell you the truth. Anyone who dares to take action on his own to prevent others from leaving again will be killed without mercy!
Zhang Yang was a little dissatisfied when he heard this, but due to Zhang Lingfeng's prestige, he could only say nothing.
After such an incident, very few of Zhang Lingfeng's troops left. These guys who followed Zhang Lingfeng from Huyang Canyon were those who regarded death as home. Needless to say, their courage was great.
Seeing that no one was leaving, Zhang Lingfeng pointed to the city wall and said: The man guarding Xuanjian City is Geng Jingzhong of Dongxia. Are you afraid?
Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!
There was another shout.
It's okay to be afraid. To tell you the truth, I'm afraid that I won't be able to take this city and that my brothers will all be trapped here because of me. But what I'm more afraid of is that people will call me a traitor and a coward! Zhang Lingfeng became more and more excited as he spoke and drew his sword.
Hanging Sword City is just ahead, brothers, follow me! Either take this majestic city that belongs to me in the beginning, or die on this battlefield to prove that you and I are not traitors! kill! Zhang Lingfeng dismounted from his horse and charged towards Xuanjian City with his sword in hand. When the soldiers saw their commander, they all started to charge, so naturally they were not to be outdone.
