Chapter 52 Gathering in the Palace

"Why haven't you left yet? Didn't you go back to the palace early to rest? Don't wait for me?" He looked at Zhuo Ruitong happily, with mixed feelings.

"How can I rest in peace without seeing you come back?" Zhuo Ruitong frowned, "What's the matter? Huanying, you look wrong!"

He lowered his eyes happily, "No, it's okay. The Empress Dowager asked me to talk for a while, so it was too late."

"Really? You didn't lie to me, Huanxuan. Let me tell you. You don't have to take it to heart what she says after my mother. When she is old, her temper will become weirder, but she just talks about it. You can't do anything. You can completely listen to it. If you feel wronged, tell me, I'll persuade her another day..." /P>

"Okay, my lord, you don't care about your mother-in-law. It's really just a narration. The Empress Dowager didn't mention Ning Tanger at all, so you put your heart in your stomach and go back to bed, okay?" Huanxuan squeezed out a smile at Zhuo Ruitong, and his voice became particularly soft.

Zhuo Ruitong stared at Huanxuan suspiciously, "You and I haven't seen your mother many times. Are there so many old things to talk about? Don't lie to me, Huanxuan. I'm leaving tomorrow. I don't want you to be affected by this!"

"What can be affected!" Huanxuan smiled and said, "It's just that you are affected at most. You are so nervous that I can't leave at ease."

"Okay, I'll go back first. You can rest early. I'll see you off at the dark road tomorrow morning!" Zhuo Ruitong was helpless. Although he didn't believe in Huanxuan's narrative, he was afraid that it would affect their rest, so he had to give up and go back to the bedroom for the time being.

After Zhuo Ruitong left, when Xiaoci served Huanying to wash and help Huanying remove the hairpin, Huanying asked Xiaoci, "How familiar you were with King Wei before. Why do you know the origin of this hairpin?"

Xiaoci was stunned for a moment, "Madam, did you hear what the old empress dowager say? Xiaoci doesn't know the origin of the hairpin!"

"Then why did you look at me with such a special look when I first picked out the hairpin from the jewelry box?" Huanxuan's tone was a little unpleasant, "You and I are in the same spirit now. What can't we say clearly? Do we still need to hide it?"

Xiaoci realized that Huanying must have suspected that she was lying, so she was not fast and quickly explained, "Madam, you misunderstood. I really don't know the origin of the jade hairpin. The king of Riwei took some clothes and a box of jewelry to the maidservant. Of course, the maidservant should open it and check it, so as not to accidentally lose one or two. Isn't it that you can't explain it clearly? Anyway, when you are in the palace, all the jewelry that slaves and maidservants have to check, not to mention guard the palace? The maidservant was on the right time, but the king of Wei suddenly said, there was another one. Let's put it together. With that, he took out a brocade bag from his arms. When he opened it, it was the white jade hairpin. When the maidservant saw King Wei's behavior, he suspected that the hairpin must be a special thing for King Wei. Otherwise, how could he hold it alone in his arms? Later, madam Unexpectedly, I even chose a white jade hairpin from a box of jewelry. Naturally, I felt so strange. It turned out that my wife and the prince were really predestined!"

"What fate is not fate? It's just a coincidence, but I misunderstood you," Huanxuan said, "When I chatted with the Empress Dowager at night, she said that this jade hairpin was very suitable for me, so I suddenly remembered what happened that day."

Xiaoci pouted in the mirror and said, "Madam, everything is fine, but it's embarrassing when you are suspicious. Madam is suspicious of me. You won't even doubt the prince. Fortunately, the jade hairpin was chosen by your wife herself, otherwise it must be that I colluded with the prince. Maybe they are angry. I also dropped the jade hairpin!"

"Oc's it, okay, I won't ask too many questions, but it makes you think so many associations. I think you want to go out for a long trip. You're too excited!" Huanxuan glanced at the little porcelain with dissatisfaction, put the jade hairpin aside casually, picked up the comb, and combed his head by himself.

Seeing this, Xiaoci smiled and grabbed the comb to help Huanling comb. "When it comes to travel, I'm really a little excited. The furthest time I've been running since I can remember is to take you here from the capital. But at that time, you slept in the car, motionless, no different from a dead man, and I was terrified. In the rushing day and night, I can hardly take care of anything except driving and running. Especially at night, on the dark official road, there is only a carriage left for me and a woman who doesn't know whether she is dead or alive. If you are really afraid, you will be as scared. I also think, in case you don't take the antidote, you will suddenly wake up and be stunned. Sitting up in a guise, is it a deceptive corpse, or has it become a ghost?

"Bah! Just make it up, Xiaoci. I really want to suddenly sit up from behind you, with my hair spreading teeth and claws, and a grunting sound in my mouth. I'm scared to death!" Huan lingered at the front, but his heart was full of love for Xiaoci. In that case, whoever drove, I'm afraid it was the seven souls who ran away from the three souls.

"It's unreasonable for my wife to say this. What will happen to my wife if I dress up as a ghost one day?" Xiaoci knew that Huanling was joking with her, so she continued to joke.

"What will it look like? What do you think will happen?" Huanxuan suddenly jumped up from the stool, and his teeth and claws went to squeak Xiaoci. Xiaoci dropped the comb and dodged while looking for the right time to return his hand. The night before the goblet palace broke the silence all the time, and there was a rare sound of two women playing and laughing until late at night.

I don't know how long she slept, but Huanying was suddenly awakened by the sound of knocking. As soon as she heard that it was still an hour before departure, she gently pushed away the small porcelain leaning against her body, moved out of the bed and pushed open the window. The silver moonlight outside the window sprinkled in, which was refreshing.

On the dressing table, the white plum jade hairpin lay quietly in the moonlight, which looked more transparent and crystal clear. It lingering for a long time. Finally, I didn't touch it, but turned around and opened the door and went out. Because of the moonlight, the courtyard is particularly refreshing. Although the wind can't help but hold her robe tightly, she can't help but want to sit in the cloister. If it were in the capital, such a good night with the moon would not be so cold.

Even if he has seen Huanying's uniform, Zhuo Ruitong is still moved. Today's Huanying seems to be particularly refreshing and capable, and the black veil that has not yet been covered hangs on one side, which sets off her white and soft cheeks, like a pearl coming out of the dust. Zhuo Ruitong came forward and looked at Huanying for a long time, but he couldn't say a word. Out.

Huanxuan was also a little silent. After thinking for a long time, he said, "After I leave, don't forget those things that Huanxuan has explained to pay attention to. Everything should be the big picture first. Don't be angry, and..."

"I will, I will remember, I will take care of myself, waiting for the good news of you and Nie Kong, so are you, remember that the separation was for a better meeting!" Zhuo Ruitong took the stubble without waiting for Huan Ying to finish speaking. He solemnly promised and made a solemn agreement.

Huanying nodded, "The message of Mingsha Camp is all transmitted by the eagle falcon. In case of an emergency, the prince must put two more to avoid missing information!"

"I know, whether your situation is going well or not, you should send messages regularly, so that I know how the progress is. Maybe I can help you come up with ideas. After all, Nie Kong and I have some successful experiences."

"Good!" Huan ling smiled, "Then let's go?"

"Bear the horse here!" Zhuo Ruitong shouted to the guard and couldn't take his eyes off the joy, as if he wanted to put the appearance of the joy deep into his mind. "Be careful all the way, be careful!"

"Wei Wang is very important!" Huanxuan and Xiaoci turned over and said, "That's goodbye, King Wei!" The two fast horses crossed the path in the forest, quickly disappeared at the end of the tree, and went in the direction of Weijun City. Zhuo Ruitong sighed deeply, "Let's go, it's all gone. The huge Wei Palace, now I only have a humanoid shadow, only lonely and clear."

Huan Ying and Xiao Ci met Lu Zisong, who had been waiting for a long time outside the city gate. The three of them were no longer speechless and rushed to Lingshan Palace. Lu Zisong asked Huan Ying, "Madam must have never been to Lingshan Palace. I'd like to go to Lingshan Palace with General Manager Nie, or I'd better lead the way before running!"

"There is General Lu!" Huanying slowed down the reins and deliberately let Lu Zisang ride to the front. "Have you sent the person you sent back the news? Is everything going well? Has everyone assembled?

"As of last night, only the people of Zhongsheng Camp in the east have not arrived, and the rest have been assembled. Only those who have been sent to pick up Zhongsheng Camp have not come back yet, but according to the distance, they can arrive at the latest tonight or tomorrow morning," Lu Zisong said.

"Well, even if we arrive at the Lingshan Palace today, I'm afraid it will be evening. If the people of Zhongsheng Camp haven't arrived yet, we will rest for a day tomorrow and turn around the day after tomorrow."

"Good!" Lu Zisang shouted, "Follow me and take a shortcut. We will arrive before evening."

All the way to the north, the shortcut that Lu Zisong said was to cross a mountain. The mountain road was not steep, but for Xiaoci, who had no experience in mountain road riding, he suffered a lot. Lu Zisong had to stop from time to time to wait for Xiaoci who did not follow. Finally, Lu Zisong simply helped to hold the reins and take Xiaoci away. This I finally continued to go on the road safely.

Sure enough, as Lu Zisong expected, the three of them came to the foot of the Lingshan Palace before the evening. If it hadn't been delayed for some time on the small porcelain road, it should have arrived earlier. The Lingshan Palace was built on a whole hill, surrounded by the fruit forest and the wall. After passing through the desolation along the way, they sighed the Lingshan Palace. The location is really unique.

The three of them got off their horses at the foot of the mountain, walked up the stone steps through the main gate, and said happily, "Fortunately, the Lingshan Palace is big enough, otherwise how can 2,000 soldiers settle down?"

As he was talking, a man dressed as a general came down and arched his hand and said, "General Lu, Mrs. Ying, the last general Shi Feng has been waiting for the three for a long time. You have finally arrived. I'm sorry for the late arrival!"

It turned out that this person was the general sent by Lu Zisong to settle down in Lingshan Palace. After a greeting, Huanying learned that the soldiers from each battalion were temporarily under the unified command of Shi Feng. Everyone had already rubbed their fists and waited for Huanying to arrive, but the people of Zhongsheng Camp were still somehow still It hasn't arrived yet.

It seemed that she had to take another day off. Under the leadership of Shi Feng, Huanxuan first went to see where she and Xiaoci lived, and then ordered Shi Feng to inform all the staff to gather in the hall before dinner. She had something to say. Shi Fengying agreed to retreat, and Lu Zisang also went to find a place to live. Huanying and Xiaoci brought cold water, washed his sweaty face, and then took the lead in going to the hall to wait for everyone.

After a while, the generals came one after another. Huanxuan was quite satisfied with the assembly speed of everyone. After all, it was the first time to teach, and it was impossible to be too demanding, but such a speed must not be allowed in the future.

"I know that you are all elites selected from each camp. General Shi Feng must have told you the reason why you gathered here, but do you know what kind of place the Mingsha Valley we are going to?" Huanxuan opened his mouth and asked.

Many people looked at each other in consternation and shook their heads, while others boldly replied, "I heard that you are going to pass through a maze of Death Valley?" We won't get lost inside, will we?

Another person said, "Is it to gather us to Mingsha Valley for training? What's the difference from our usual training in the barracks? Why do we go to such a strange place?"

Huanying nodded and nodded, "Good to say, today I can clearly tell you that King Wei has hidden a secret army in the Mingsha Valley for many years, that is, the Mingsha Camp to which Shi Feng and this General Lu Zisong belong. After years of special training, it has become the most powerful surprise brigade in Weijun, and choose Your purpose is to expand the strength of this surprise brigade. We hope that when we need it, Mingsha Camp can become the sharpest knife and go straight into the enemy's throat. Are you willing?

"Of course I do! We can't wait for a long time!" Next, he answered with one voice this time.

"As for the difference between the training of Mingsha Camp and the training of your usual military camp, I think you will soon see that our Weijun is located on the border. The first enemy to guard against is Beirong, which has been staring at me. They are brave and good at fighting, good at attacking thousands of miles, in the face of such a strong enemy, I ask you to give me twelve points of energy from the moment you set foot on the Mingsha Valley and go all out for future training and against the enemy. I promise that the day of becoming a Mingsha Camp will be the most glorious and unforgettable day in your life. You will not only establish great achievements, but also become famous in the world and let all When the enemy heard the three words of Mingsha Camp, he was frightened by the wind! Can you do it?"

"Can!" Once again, the soldiers spoke with one voice.

"Me! I didn't hear it clearly!" Huanxuan paused and said coldly, "I want you to answer me again with the momentum that makes the enemy afraid!"

"You can do it, kill the enemy and make contributions, and be invincible!" This time, the thunderous roar spread throughout the Lingshan Palace, which shocked the vegetation.

Huanling finally smiled with satisfaction, "We will leave early the day after tomorrow, and you still have one day to consider quitting, but when you decide to take the first step to the Mingsha Valley, you must be prepared to face all difficulties without flinching. Otherwise, who wants to half If you escape on the way, you will be guilty of escaping from the battle, and there will be no mercy!"

The bottom is silent, but everyone's expression is much more solemn and solemn than when they first entered the hall. They said happily, "That's all I want to say. Next, General Lu Zisang will briefly introduce the discipline and precautions on the way. In the future, your training will be mainly handled by General Lu Zisang. People's actions must also be under the command of General Lu. If anyone dares to violate it, the military law will deal with it! General Lu, please!"

After the end of the lecture, all the generals were taken to the canteen by Shi Feng to have dinner. Lu Zisong, Huanying and Xiaoci finally walked out of the hall. Lu Zisong arched his hand to Huanying and said, "Madam, what you said just now really impressed the last general. Although the lady is a female, she is born with a general, which is really better than the last general. Bei, I think these soldiers must be the same as the last generals, who have completely changed the idea of looking down on women and throwing their wives to the ground!"

Huanying smiled faintly and said, "General Lu praised it. It's still early to completely change everyone's presceptions, but I think it's a good start. At least in the future, we can work together to train Mingsha Camp better and stronger, and I will do my best to take on what I should be responsible. General Lu's training, General Lu, please rest assured!"

Lu Zisang also smiled, "With a lady in charge, the last general has a lot in his heart. The last general swears here that he will do his best to satisfy his wife."

"Well!" Huanxuan made an affectionate gesture and motioned to Lu Zisang as he walked and said, "Actually, I have never led a soldier, and of course I have never trained a soldier, so if I make a mistake, General Lu, please don't have to take care of my face and point it out bluntly, okay?"

"Okay, the last general will know everything," Lu Zisang said, "Does the lady go to the canteen to have a meal with the generals, or will the general ask someone to send the meal of the lady and the little porcelain girl to your room alone?"

"It's okay to send it to my room alone today. After running for a day, I'm fine, but the little porcelain girl is not good at riding. I'm afraid she's too tired to eat. I'll take her back to the house to let her have a good rest. Starting tomorrow, I'll have dinner with the generals!" Huan Ying looked back at Xiaoci and said to Lu Zisuan.

"Okay, then send someone to deliver the dinner!" Lu Zisong bowed his hand and said goodbye, "Madam, you can have a good rest, otherwise it will be much harder to go all the way to the Mingsha Valley than today!"

"Wait!" Huanying called Lu Zisong, who was about to leave, "Tomorrow morning, you come to pick me up. Let's go to inspect the residence of the soldiers and the Lingshan Palace. It's not easy to come, so we have to look around. In addition, when the soldiers of Zhongsheng Camp arrive, they should inform me immediately no matter how late it is!"

"Yes, the last general knows!" Lu Zisang was ordered to leave. When there were only Huanying and Xiaoci left, Huanying smiled at Xiaoci and said, "I'm not too tired. Come on, let's get some hot water and wash our feet. You will be much more comfortable."
