Chapter 48 Tenderness is hard to cut

This exercise lasted until dusk. Before the end of the afterglow, Zhuo Ruitong returned to the palace with Huanying and the guards. Zhuo Ruitong, who was sitting in the car, was still immersed in the excitement brought by the drill. He quietly asked Huanying, "Well, did you give Bei Rong a down today?"

Huanying opened the curtain and looked out. Seeing that Wen Jian was riding in front of the team from afar, he put down the curtain of the car and whispered to Wei Wang, "Although today is a play for Wen Jian, which makes Bei Rong dare not easily commit soldiers, but Wen Jian inadvertently broke our shortcomings on the parade stage. Didn't the king of Wei hear the clue? "

"Defects?" Zhuo Ruitong thought for a moment and said, "What we practice today is not the key formation, and it is impossible to show our most important formation practice to Wen Jian. Even if there are defects, it is inevitable. It doesn't matter!"

"That's not what I mean, Wei Wang. I mean the difference between us and the Bei Rongjin Brigade!" Huanxuan looked at Zhuo Ruitong, "King Wei, why don't you think about it again?"

"I don't understand... you mean..."

"The Beirong Army is fierce and brave, but they never rely on any formation to fight. On the contrary, they are good at surprise attacks, like the tides and the wind. Judging from the experience of being disturbed in the past, we often have not had time to fight, and they have been successful. By the time we organized people to pursue, they had already disappeared without a trace. Therefore, our formation of fighting in the Central Plains is not applicable to the enemy's Beirong.

"But if you don't arrange troops, how can we fight this battle?" Zhuo Ruitong said, "The key to our victory over the enemy is often in the formation. If we don't even have this advantage, do we still have a chance of winning?"

"I'm also thinking about this question. The reason why Nie Kong and others took such a big risk to change horses in Leeds is to strengthen the mobility of our cavalry, but our cavalry are often trained in cooperation with the formation, and the fortress is thousands of miles away. Unless Bei Rong is like us, Chen Bing Lie Ma, what should we do? What about moving the formation to fight against them?

Zhuo Ruitong pondered for a moment, "What Huanying said also makes sense. That is, we are single-mindedly want the two armies to fight against each other and fight with real guns and swords. But in case Beirong is cunning and does not fight head-on with us, but adopts the method of sneak attack and attacking the battalion, what should we do?"

Huanying nodded, "This possibility cannot be ruled out, because I know that the former emperor and Beirong fought because of the different tactics of the two armies, and they have suffered a lot of losses. However, the strength of Beirong in those years was far less than that of the previous emperor's army, so after they were defeated by the former emperor, they moved to the north of the royal court, and they had been waiting to be raised for a long time. He was almost sharp, and then he gradually moved back to the south. When the ancestors saw that Beirong did not have too many crimes, they also thought that the labor expedition was a depletion of national strength. In order to let the people rest and recuperate, they endured them. Now, after many years of troops, Beirong has not been the same as before, but we don't have the strength of the previous emperor in those years!"

After listening to this, Zhuo Ruitong's mood suddenly plummeted. He said in frustration, "Can we really continue to endure and eliminate this big hidden danger in one fell swoop?"

"Why do you have to be discouraged? Fortunately, don't we find the gap early now? It's better than losing money when it comes to war. I think it's man-made. Before the war, we can always think of a way to deal with Bei Rong!"

Zhuo Ruitong was not happy because of Huanling's persuasion. He fell into silence in frustration, looking heavy and confused.

"Look at you, can't stand such a blow?" Huanxuan whispered, "It's all my fault. You were quite happy. If I had known you, I wouldn't have told you this."

"How can that work? Do you want all the good soldiers of the Guard to be sacrificed in vain? Zhuo Ruitong said bitterly, "It's not that I can't stand the blow, but I have been preparing for so long, but I still can't find a way to deal with Beirong. How can I face my soldiers and the people of Weijun!"

"King Wei, this is not good. Everything you have done is enough to stand upright. Today, you have heard that all the soldiers are excited and have the same hatred for the enemy. They are ready to fight for King Wei. Huanying feels that everything is born and overcome each other. If we can find a way to fight against the enemy with our own strength. Weak, why don't you solve Bei Rong? You are the king of a country. First of all, you can't show others your frustration. No matter how big the dilemma is, you must be full of fighting spirit first!" Huanxuan said and picked the curtain again to see if anyone could hear their conversation.

"Yes, you're right. I know I shouldn't be depressed and happy. I'm sorry. I lost my temper just now. Don't blame me. I just feel that all the hope has become elusive for a moment, and my mood is particularly heavy, but don't worry, I will never show any loss in front of others. There is still For a long time, we can still be more prepared, don't you think?

"Well, you look like Zhuo Ruitong in my impression," he smiled happily. "That wild boy who is not afraid of heaven and earth is really much cuter than the serious prince!"

Zhuo Ruitong also smiled, "I'm secretly telling you that when no one is around, I'm still a fearless wild boy. I'm serious. It's for those who have to be serious, hehe."

"Is that right?" Huanying shook her head and turned her eyes, "But why did you never have a formal figure in front of me before?"

"Prejudice, absolute prejudice!" Zhuo Ruitong patted the back of Huanxuan's hand. "You have never looked at me seriously. How do you know that I'm not in shape?" Besides, anyway, you're used to looking at the wild boy. It doesn't matter, right?

Huanying couldn't help nodding, leaning on the back of the chair, and picking up the curtain to look at the scenery outside the window. At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the whole team hung on the windlight and slowly walked back to the palace. The shaking lights and the shadows of the forest were intertwined, forming a strange atmosphere. The sense of separation brought by darkness and dimness made Huanxuan fell into a deep and uncontrollable loneliness.

Zhuo Ruitong witnessed Huanling's look and did not dare to disturb her. Sometimes he would do the same. There was always those unforgettable pain in everyone's heart. It seemed to be well hidden, but inadvertently, it would be easily touched, especially like Huanxuan. She needed more time to repair and even release.

When I returned to the Wei Palace, it was already time. The carriage stopped quietly outside the Goblet Palace, but no one in the car came down. Not long after, Wei Wang's hand stretched out from the window and waved, signaling the guards to disperse. When Wen Jian saw it, he quietly withdrew, leaving only the person in charge of driving.

It turned out that she was too tired. She didn't know when she fell asleep in the carriage and leaned her head on Zhuo Ruitong's shoulder. Zhuo Ruitong couldn't bear to wake her up, so she had been waiting for her to wake up.

Time passed slowly. When even Zhuo Ruitong almost fell asleep, Huanxuan suddenly stood up in shock, "King Wei, where are you? Have you returned to the palace?"

"Well, yes, it's already outside the goblet palace. Are you awake?" Zhuo Ruitong looked at Huanying with a smile and love. Under the faint light in the carriage, Huanying looked a little messy, especially the desire to protect her.

"I'm so sorry, I don't know how... What time is this?" Huanling lingered up awkwardly. She didn't want to go back to the goblet palace and be seen by Xiaoci, which caused an unexplained misunderstanding.

"Three Moments!" Zhuo Ruitong turned his eyes to the window on his side. The more he liked a person, the more he should respect her. Don't look at her if it's rude!

"Why is it so late?" Huanying asked puzzledly, "We didn't walk so long when we went to the air camp in the afternoon? What's going on on the difficult road?

"Ha ha, what can happen in the territory of Weijun?" Zhuo Ruitong replied with his back, "It's not that I see you sleeping soundly. I'm afraid that the bumpy road will disturb your good dreams, so I let everyone walk quietly. Unexpectedly, you are really like a pig. You have been sleeping and sleeping all the time, and sleeping outside the goblet palace for nearly an hour. It's over!"

"Realally!" Huanxuan was so ashamed, "Why didn't you wake me up early? You asked you to wait for me for so long. You haven't had a good rest. You should have called me long ago!"

"I'm sorry!" Zhuo Ruitong said gently.

"What?" Huanxuan almost thought that he had misheard it. "Why did you say sorry to me? It's me who should say sorry?"

"I'm sorry," Zhuo Ruitong turned his head and said, "I shouldn't have let you work hard with me. In the Weiwang Palace, you can live a carefree life. No one dares to embarras you, but now..."

"Why do you say this again?" Huanying in the faint light and shadow, he also stared at Zhuo Ruitong, "It's all my own will. What does it have to do with you? I once had it, but what can I do? Ruitong, you are the one who understands me, right? Then don't say these words again, because I don't want to repeat my past fate again.

"Never! I promise!" Zhuo Ruitong lovingly put a wisp of scattered hair behind Huanxuan's ears, "As long as I exist for a day, no one can hurt you again!"

Huanying's heart trembled and made fun of people. When she was deeply hurt by Yuan Can, she got the care and solemn promise of another man in Weijun. Did she pay the wrong person for her affection, or did God play an absurd joke on the three of them?

"Okay, go back quickly and rest early. You must be exhausted today!" Zhuo Ruitong said gently, but he was also gently rushing to get out of the car. He was afraid that if he stayed a little longer, he would have an impulse that he could no longer control.

"You too!" Huanxuan got up and wanted to leave, but suddenly stopped again, "Don't be so stupid next time. What if I sleep until dawn?"

"Then I'll wait. I can wait for you all my life!" Zhuo Ruitong smiled faintly.

Huanxuan stared at the other party for a long time and said no more. He turned around and got out of the car and waved goodbye. Zhuo Ruitong's carriage slowly left and disappeared into Huanxuan's sight.

"Why did you go there for so long?" Xiaoci greeted Huanying sleepily and picked up all the lamps in the bedroom. "I waited for my wife to fall asleep. I thought my wife wouldn't come back tonight!"

"How come?" Huanying changed her clothes and smiled and said to Xiaoci, "Where will I sleep if I don't come back? Do I sleep in the camp where those stinky men sleep?"

"Madam seems to be in a good mood?" Xiaoci looked at the words and looked at the color, and picked up the clothes that Huanying had changed. "Are you hungry, madam? Do you want Xiaoci to make some supper?"

"Forget it, it's so late. It's hard enough for you to toss you up and serve you. Go get some hot water and go and have a rest!"

"I have nothing to do in the palace. I've been resting all day. What is this?" Xiaoci curled her lips and said, "Madam didn't take me when she went out, which made me extremely bored. Oh, by the way, the fear of the leisure pavilion came over and asked her when she was free. Her Ning Ji wanted to hold a banquet to apologize for her."

"Oh? It's strange. Why did she suddenly want to invite me? Huanying answered puzzledly and asked, "Then how did you get back?"

"I said that my wife has been busy recently. I'm afraid I'm not free. I'll make an appointment when my wife comes back."

"Uh-huh!" Huanxuan nodded, "Today, Wen Jian went out of the palace with us. Ning Tanger was afraid that she was suspicious and cheated, so she came to test the truth. It doesn't matter. You can reply to her tomorrow and say, "I'll take her heart. When I'm free, I'll treat her at the Liu Goblet Palace!"

"Yes, I see!" After picking up the clothes, Xiaoci changed Huanxuan's nightgown and said, "Madam, wait a minute. I've already prepared the hot water. I'll call you!" After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Little porcelain!" Huanying stopped Xiaoci and smiled, "Xiaoci, it's not that I don't take you with me, but I'm going to the barracks with the prince today. I'm afraid it's inconvenient to take you. After all, it's..."

"Xiaoci understands, madam doesn't need to explain," Xiaoci sighed, "It's just that if you want to travel far away, don't leave Xiaoci!"

"Don't worry, I won't, I promise!" Huanxuan's smile was brighter, but the word "I promise" reminded her of Zhuo Ruitong, so her smile froze on her face until she saw Xiaoci out of the room.

"It's so late, madam, why don't you rest?" Xiaoci came back after pouring the washing water. Seeing Huanxuan sitting in front of the dressing table, she didn't know what to think. "A day when I'm working out, isn't you tired? Why don't you go to bed early?" Xiaoci persuaded.

"I'm not tired. I slept in the car for a long time!" Huanxuan didn't look back and was still in a trance, but her answer was obviously very clear, "You go to bed first and let me sit by myself for a while."

Xiaoci didn't understand. Huanxuan seemed to have something on her mind, but she seemed to be in a good mood. Did something happen with Wei Wang all the way? Xiaoci suddenly felt a little tingling in her heart. If that's the case, it's okay. At least, she still has a chance to stay by Wei Wang's side. Xiao Ci comforted herself like this.

Xiaoci didn't make a sound. She quietly took the brocade, quietly came behind Huanxuan, and put it on her body for Huanxuan. "It's cool at night, madam, don't sit for a long time!"

One hand had not left, but it was pulled by Huanxuan. Huanxuan turned around and looked up at Xiaoci, "What's the matter, madam?" Xiaoci asked.

He was eager to speak and stopped. He stared at Xiaoci for a long time, and finally shook his head. "Nothing, thank you. Go ahead. I'll sit down and sleep for a while."

Xiaoci gently shook back with the hand held by Huanxuan, "Madam's mind should not be too heavy. Everything is as it is. You can't be forced!"

He smiled happily, "I'd like to persuade you with this. Well, we both know it, and no one should comfort anyone. Go ahead, I'm fine!"

On a cool moon night, it was hard to sleep on the side of the goblet palace, and it was hard to sleep in the leisure pavilion. In the dark, Ning Tanger heard a familiar signal again. She hesitated for a moment and hurriedly slipped out of the pavilion like a spirit cat and came to the back garden. A dark shadow was already waiting for her behind the rockery.

"Have you heard that Nie Kong has returned to his hometown, but I suspect that he must have another task!" Ning Tanger frowned when she saw the dark shadow, and she didn't seem to be reluctant to meet this time.

"I know that from all kinds of signs, Wei Wang seems to really intend to go to war!" The shadow replied in a muffled voice.

"Does he really want to concentrate on us? Why do I always think there is fraud? Now that we can't take much advantage of the war, and we will be dragged by the guards at the border and consume our supplies and food.

The shadow muffled for a while and said, "I'm not sure, but I think Wei Wang is likely to suspect me. Today I'm going to the plane camp..."

"Did you go to the guard's air-camp? What's the situation?" Ning Tang'er was shocked.

"I always feel that there are many arrangements that Wei Wang deliberately showed me. Ning Ji, you should also be careful. If the situation is not right, it is best to go!"

"I already feel more and more bad!" Ning Ji said hatefully, "Since the appearance of Mrs. Shadow, everything has been in a mess, but in addition to requiring us to continue to spy on the military situation, Wang Ting did not mention what to do if we are exposed?"

The shadow glanced at Ning Tanger in the light of the moonlight, "You're right. Many things seem to be aimed at us recently, but you have to try to delay for a period of time, because I received the news that Wang Ting is waiting for the best time. At that time, it may break through the defense line of the guard in one fell swoop, ** Central Plains."

The best time? What other best time is there? Wei Wangming ignores the Central Plains and keeps him in Wei County. As long as he refuses to give up Wei County for a day, what else can we do in addition to deal with it?

"That's not necessarily the case!" The shadow contemptuously said, "If the situation in the Central Plains changes, it is up to him to guard the county alone. What Wang Ting means is that the Central Plains has another echo and has promised success, the whole Wei County's territory will be attributed to Wang Ting's account. So as long as we endure until that day, will Wang Ting not reward us?"

"Is there any other echo?" Ning Tanger said suspiciously, "Didn't Wang Ting say what kind of power?"

"How can Wang Ting easily leak such a military event? Well, you and I are good for this. The most important thing is to keep yourself first. If you find a major movement of the guard, you must immediately communicate with each other and pass the news out in time!"

Ning Tanger sighed deeply, "I know. I'll try my best to spy!"

The shadow nodded and soon disappeared behind the rockery, while Ning Tanger went back to the leisure pavilion alone. However, with the departure of Ning Tanger and the shadow, a dark shadow appeared behind the rockery and stood quietly for a long time.
