Chapter 99 Spring Blossom
"Marshal, now the rumor of going to the capital has spread to the ears of Empress Dowager Xiao. Empress Dowager Xiao recruited Yanrong back three days ago, and the next day Yanrong stopped his move..."
In the military account, Mu Guiying nodded slightly relaxed after listening to the detective's report. Then, he ordered, "Tell our people not to relax their vigilance first. Be sure to closely monitor his actions to prevent him from acting in secret.
"Yes." Although the spies did not understand why Mu Guiying paid so much attention to Yanrong's 'zheng ding', Mu Guiying's increasing majesty made him dare not neglect him.
After Jiang De recovered from his injury in the capital, Hu Xiuying began to prepare for his trip back to Song. As Mu Guiying guessed, more than ten days after Mu Guiying left, maybe Empress Dowager Xiao really thought that Jiang De had left, and the tense atmosphere in the capital returned to normal. Hu Xiuying covered Jiang De up a little and left the capital smoothly.
On the way back to Song, Hu Xiuying's caravan found many Liao soldiers requisitioned a large number of civilians to Jiulong Mountain near Shangjing. Jiang De was curious for a moment, so he asked Hu Xiuying to help him inquire. Unexpectedly, I didn't know whether those Liao soldiers didn't know or were too strict. Hu Xiuying didn't find out anything.
Jiang De also came into contact with Yanrong when he was in Jiulong Mountain. To be honest, Yan Rong is a sinister person in his heart. This strictness not only believes in anyone, but also has a lot of doubts. The most important thing is that Yan Rong has his purpose in doing everything. That is to say, he will never 'request' for no reason.
Jiang De kept this matter in mind and planned to talk to Mu Guiying when he reached the border. Let's see if she can guess what Yanrong wants to do, so that Mu Guiying can be prepared.
Because Hu Xiuying also thought of 'joining the army' at the border gate, Jiang De accompanied her home first and handed over the caravan to Hu Xiuying's father Hu Wenyong. After that, Jiang De and Hu Xiuying came to the border with a strange atmosphere. This strangeness comes from Hu Xiuying's parents, and Jiang De can't say anything. However, along the way, Jiang De looked at Hu Xiuying from time to time, thinking, which made Hu Xiuying shy and a little uneasy. Fortunately, Hu Xiuying's home is not far from Gaoyang Pass. After she and Jiang De arrived at the border, they were busy, and the superficial 'unusual' slowly disappeared. As for whether the two people's hearts are as good as when they first met, it is unknown.
Besides, Mu Guiying was shocked when she learned of Yan Rong's behavior. Unconsciously grasping the jade pendant hanging from his waist, Mu Guiying remembered the scene when he was watching the yin qi in the Tianmen array with the tree spirit of the dragon tree in Jiulong Mountain. Could it be that Yan Rong knew about this and wanted to harm innocent people and gather yin again?
When it comes to 'yin qi', Mu Guiying didn't tell anyone. She believed that except for the Master Li Shan and those hidden masters, even Mrs. She would not believe this matter too much. Therefore, when Mu Guiying heard about this again, she didn't know who to discuss it with, and finally had to let people carefully monitor Jiulongshan.
Fortunately, the generals at the border gate were busy with this 'public election', and not many people noticed Mu Guiying's behavior. Yang Liulang, who noticed, just thought that Mu Guiying wanted to grasp the movement of Jiulong Mountain and didn't pay special attention to it. Mu Guiying also secretly congratulated herself that there was no need to explain this 'gloomy' incident.
A few days later, Mu Guiying got the news that Yan Rong was indeed conscripting a large number of poor people to Tianmen in Jiulong Mountain. Although it is clear to help strengthen the settings in the Tianmen array, in fact, no people who have entered have found anything to transport out. Maybe Yanrong doesn't want to attract people's attention, and there are not many people who bring him to Tianmen array every time. However, what if you allow Yan Rong to harm the innocent and let the Tianmen array gather a lot of yin qi?
So Mu Guiying sent people to the capital to spread rumors that Yan Rong was a demon, using the Tianmen array to mutilate the Liao people and practice evil arts. Sure enough, a few days later, Empress Dowager Xiao, the powerful person in Liao, learned about this and specially recruited Yan Rong back to the capital. After that, Yan Rong returned to Jiulong Mountain and stayed in the Tianmen array honestly without any changes. Mu Guiying was worried and sent people to monitor secretly. It was not until the spring was warm and the Song army was about to break the battle.
......
When winter goes and spring comes, everything revives.
All the soldiers in Gaoyang Pass are secretly fighting, waiting for Mu Guiying's order to attack Jiulong Mountain. Since the public election, the soldiers of the three armies have been divided into several teams. Under the leadership of their generals, they have conducted a winter of training and many 'exeres'. The experience made them full of confidence in breaking the Tianmen array and looked forward to the day when they went to war.
In fact, not only these soldiers are looking forward to it, but also Mu Guiying himself is looking forward to the warm weather. She hopes to end the battle as soon as possible and leave the border as soon as possible. Because not long ago, Mu Guiying found out that she was pregnant. Although the time is still very short, Mu Guiying is also from that life and still knows some knowledge in this regard. It has been almost two months.
In order not to let the Yang family be distracted by this, Mu Guiying did not tell anyone. Just concentrate on deferring the process of breaking the array, so as to win the battle in the shortest time. In this way, she can return to Bianliang City to wait for delivery at ease.
"Gui Ying, you see, the weather is already very warm. Can we get ready?"
On this day, Yang Liulang and the Eighth Prince followed Mu Guiying to inspect the training of the soldiers in the barracks, and Yang Liulang suddenly mentioned the matter of breaking the battle.
When Mu Guiying heard Yang Liulang's inquiry, he immediately nodded and said, "Father Shuai is very true. Gui Ying has also been thinking about this matter during this period. Detectives from Jiulong Mountain came to report that some Liao generals were impatient because they knew when we were going to break through the Tianmen array.
"Oh?" Yang Liulang paused and then said, "So, the military spirit of the Liao army has fluctuated, which is a good thing for us."
The Eighth Prince has been at the border for so long and also knew something about the military, so he nodded and said, "So, we can go to war."
Seeing Yang Liulang's deep feelings, Mu Guiying was secretly happy, but said tentatively, "Then Guiying will talk to the generals about breaking the array tomorrow. Three days later, we will raise our troops to Jiulong Mountain."
Although Mu Guiying is the commander of the three armies, Yang Liulang is the deputy commander and Mu Guiying's father-in-law. In public and private, Mu Guiying will ask Yang Liulang about any military affairs. In this regard, although Yang Liulang is very comfortable, his intention is to cultivate Mu Guiying. In most cases, Yang Liulang will not default to Mu Guiying's request. Therefore, Mu Guiying smiled when he saw that Yang Liulang did not object, but did not make a sound.
I have come to the border for so long, experienced so many things, and met so many people. Now that he is finally going to fight the final battle with Liao, Mu Guiying suddenly became a little complicated. However, thinking of the thing that no one knew, Mu Guiying looked back to the north and gently covered her lower abdomen. At the same time, she also said secretly in her heart, baby, let's go home soon.
There are many matters involved in the expedition of the army, and this is still a battle. Mu Guiying is not only busy dealing with these affairs, but also has to explain to all the generals who have been elected to lead the team what their broken arrays are like and how to crack them. Originally, Mu Guiying wanted to explain to all the generals after the election, but Yang Liulang was afraid of leaking the news and let Yan Rong make some changes to the Tianmen array, so he stopped Mu Guiying.
Therefore, during these three days, Mu Guiying went out early and returned late, and did not say a few words to Yang Zongbao all day long. Yang Zongbao saw Mu Guiying fall into ** as soon as he came back. Without waiting for him to say a few words, he could hear the snoring, which was very helpless. However, seeing Mu Guiying's tired look, Yang Zongbao was a little distressed. In a word, his mood is very repetitive.
For good, the night before the three armies were ready to leave the customs, Mu Guiying finally returned to the camp early to rest. Because in order to make the soldiers of the three armies energetic, Mu Guiying specially ordered to rest early tonight. Therefore, except for the soldiers and generals guarding at the whole border gate, everyone rests in their own tents. Even Mrs. She specially told the younger generation of the Yang family to have a good rest and not have to sit in her camp because she wanted to lead the army.
Yang Zongbao can finally sit down with Mu Guiying and have a good talk before the war. But there was no reason. When Yang Zongbao's full words were to Mu Guiying, he couldn't say anything. Finally, he squeezed out a sentence, "Tomorrow, I won't be by your side. You should pay more attention to your safety."
Mu Guiying didn't expect to wait for such a long time to say such a sentence. Seeing that Yang Zongbao seemed to be a little angry, Mu Guiying couldn't help laughing. Yang Zongbao was laughed inexplicably by Mu Guiying, but he couldn't help laughing at the thought of what he had just said. However, Yang Zongbao had a slight regret in his heart and could not protect his wife behind like other men. I'm afraid that few people can hurt her by letting him marry such a cruel wife.
After laughing, Mu Guiying thought that on the battlefield, she was really eyeless, and no one could guarantee that anything would happen. Although Mu Guiying knew from the commentary on the opera that Yang Zongbao was still living well after the Tianmen array, she couldn't help worrying. After thinking about it, Mu Guiying once again explained to Yang Zongbao how the copper light array and starlight array in the Tianmen array he was responsible for attacking were set up. And, what kind of unexpected situations may occur and how to deal with them.
Yang Zongbao saw that Mu Guiying was worried about himself and listened to it again patiently. In fact, he has long remembered everything about the bronze array and starlight array. In his spare time, he often imagines what kind of unexpected things will happen. However, Yang Zongbao liked Mu Guiying's nervous appearance and did not stop her nagging.
Finally, Mu Guiying was a little tired and fell asleep in Yang Zongbao's arms. Yang Zongbao looked at Mu Guiying's appearance with a smile on the corners of his mouth and said softly, "Guiying, don't worry. In any case, I won't let anything happen to me. I remember my promise to you..."
