Chapter 129: A Piece of Nonsense
Chapter 129: Nonsense
In the deep and mysterious cave, the dim firelight flickered, illuminating an ancient stone wall.
Liu Heiying, Yarong and Lu Yunyi sat around a bonfire, their figures lengthened in the firelight, and complex emotions began to spread.
Yarong was still as elegant as ever, wearing a decent dark blue gown embroidered with intricate and delicate patterns.
Even in this simple cave, it is eye-catching.
Her long hair fell like a waterfall, gently draped over her shoulders, and her pretty face showed a hint of sadness.
Liu Heiying and Lu Yunyi were dressed in Ming army armor, which shone with a cold luster, making them look heroic and mighty.
Lu Yunyi's eyes were calm, while Liu Heiying's eyes were full of complexity.
A low voice sounded in the cave, telling what had happened in the past few days.
The campfire crackled, and sparks occasionally jumped, illuminating the different expressions on the three people's faces.
After an unknown amount of time, Liu Heiying's voice stopped.
Silence returned to the cave, with only the faint sound of the fire.
Yarong was already in tears at this moment.
She curled up her legs and rested her head on her knees, tears dripping down her face, her big, bright eyes filled with confusion.
The powerful royal court was destroyed in just a dozen days.
The Khan was dead, the princess was dead, and Tianbao Nutaiji was nowhere to be found.
The important figures in the royal court were imprisoned one by one.
Even His Highness Arsileng, who had always been brave in battle, and the general became generals of the Ming Dynasty.
Yarong tilted her head and looked straight at Liu Heying. Her slightly brave and handsome face was full of fatigue, and one could even see a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
Yarong suddenly felt distressed, and she moved closer, stretched out her hand, and gently held Liu Heiying's hand.
At this moment, a strange look flashed in Lu Yunyi's eyes. He slowly stood up, left after saying a few words.
"Black Hawk, tell her what we are going to do."
Lu Yunyi took a step forward and soon arrived outside the cave.
From here you can see the huge lake of Fishing Lake in front of you, and the endless mountains all around.
And the vast wilderness,
Lu Yunyi's mind was empty and he just stood there motionless.
Inside the cave, Liu Heiying had already embraced Yarong in his arms, and his rough hands wiped away her tears.
"General, what do you and His Highness Arsleng want to do?"
Yarong's big eyes were filled with fear.
The shock of the fall of the royal court has not yet passed, but they are faced with the confusion of returning to the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Heiying sighed and said, "The reason why the royal court failed is that the speed at which the Ming people arrived was beyond our imagination.
There is someone in the royal court colluding with the Ming army, I don't know who it is yet,
But we have found the man in the Ming army. The royal court was destroyed, and most of the soldiers and horses of your highness and I were killed or wounded.
Although I am now a Ming army, I cannot give up the hatred in my heart.
We can't kill those bigwigs in the Ming army, but it's possible to kill those who are in collusion with the royal court dignitaries."
"It's dangerous."
Yarong's face was full of fear. She kept shaking her head and grasped Liu Heying's clothes tightly with both hands.
"We have to do it even if it's dangerous. Our subordinates, who we have worked so hard to train, have been treated as abandoned pawns by the bigwigs in the royal court. We must avenge this."
Liu Heiying pursed his lips, his face showing hatred, and continued:
"That day, His Highness Arsleng and I were ordered to lead 20,000 soldiers to the south to clean up the spies who had appeared.
But the Ming army had already ambushed there and killed most of our 20,000 men.
Their dying faces are still echoing in my head.
We live in order to take revenge one day."
Liu Heiying smiled, a hint of fear flashed across his eyes, and he couldn't help but slightly tighten his arms around Yarong:
"Fortunately, you and Ortai left the king's tent early, otherwise
Otherwise, I may only be able to find you among the pile of corpses as high as a mountain."
There were sparks of fire in Yarong's eyes, and the loneliness of these days had long since disappeared.
She was very grateful at this moment, grateful that she had met the general, which at least allowed her and her son to live in this world.
Yarong raised her head and looked at Liu Heiying, biting her teeth lightly, her cheeks slightly red.
She reached out and gently stroked the crack on his face, a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes, and her voice was soft:
"General, are we going to Mingdi from now on?"
Liu Heiying nodded:
"I will send you to Liaodong first. When Your Highness and I go to Ming, I will help you make things happen and make you become border residents of Ming.
As for what happened on the grassland, forget it, start over, and live a new life. "
Yarong cried silently, tears streaming down her fair cheeks, her eyes filled with pain:
"But the people of the royal court"
"They will also become border residents of the Ming Dynasty. They will no longer have to starve in the royal court, be used as targets, or lose their lives in vain."
Yarong leaned her head against Liu Heiying's chest and nodded gently:
"Okay, I'm going to give you a baby."
"Okay, but only after we kill someone. If we fail, you can live peacefully in Ming Dynasty.
I will leave you a large sum of money, enough to keep you safe."
Liu Heiying pursed his lips, exuding a fierce murderous intent. His small eyes narrowed slightly, flashing a cold light.
He stretched out his hand, took out a piece of letter from his arms and handed it over:
"Look at these names. Do you recognize them all?"
A trace of doubt flashed across Yarong's eyes. She took the paper and tilted her head to check it.
"I know Sarengaowa. He is very strong. The people who raise horses often ask him to help and give him food.
I also met Su that day. He was not smart, but very capable, and the princess had praised him before.
Huugjil is a good boy. Ulan Tuya: He seems to have joined the cavalry of King Duoerzhi.
Yarong called out the names one by one, memories flashing in her eyes, her hand holding the letter tightened little by little, her lips pursed tightly,
She thought of the children of the royal court, who would gather around her fearfully yet lovingly, waiting for her bean flour.
Now I don’t know how much is left.
"General, I know these children. They are very well behaved and smart.
I often do some odd jobs in the Second Prince's camp, and they really like the bean noodles I make."
After a long time, Yarong handed back the tear-soaked paper and spoke softly.
Liu Heiying suppressed his excitement. Things were going so smoothly.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Heiying said softly:
"These people are among the tribesmen under the care of His Highness Arsleng.
We are surrounded by eyes, so His Highness Arsleng wants to use these people to kill the great man of the Ming people. Can you help me?"
"How. How can I help?"
A trace of fear flashed across Yarong's eyes, but it soon disappeared, replaced by a strong determination.
On the contrary, Liu Heiying's eyes were gradually filled with gloom, and he sighed softly:
"I am now a general of the Ming people, and I have killed people from the royal court.
They will not trust me, nor will they obey my orders, and they will not believe that His Highness Arsileng and I will avenge our people.
So I need your and Ortai's help."
Liu Heiying spoke in a calm, hoarse voice, with a hint of deep sadness.
This made Yarong frown, and tears immediately filled her bright eyes.
Yarong hugged him tightly with her arms.
Through the thick armor, she could feel the complexity and sadness in his heart.
"General, if you don't do this, you can become a general of the Ming people, live a good life, and don't have to come to me, just let the royal court disappear."
Liu Heiying looked determined and shook his head slowly:
"There are always things to do in this world. The Naiman tribe has declined.
Your Highness and I cannot go back. We had planned to settle down in the royal court, but a disaster suddenly struck the royal court, and thousands of our people died.
I can't take it anymore, we have to do something.
Are you willing to help me? They will definitely listen to you.
When this is over, we will have a child and let him live in Ming, free from the chaos of war."
Yarong choked up and nodded gently:
"Good General."
"Just wait for me here. When I get to Daming and settle everything, I will send someone to pick you up and take you to Liaodong." Liu Heiying pursed his lips, his voice a little hollow, and asked again:
"Is there anything else you need? I can bring it to you. The army is fishing in the sea now, so it's quite convenient."
Yarong pursed her lips, as if she remembered something, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said softly:
"No need, General. You have prepared everything. The hundred sets of clothes are more than I have at home and they are even more beautiful."
Liu Heiying smiled gently: "Even if you flee, you will not lose your beauty. Wait for me to come back."
Yarong pursed her lips slightly, her cheeks slightly red.
He looked at the winding cave entrance, slowly stood up, and took Liu Heiying's hand:
"General, don't leave yet, follow me."
Liu Heiying had a strange look on his face, but after thinking for a while he decided to follow him.
With Yarong's light steps, she held Liu Heiying's hand and stepped into the luxurious tent hidden in the cave. The entrance of the tent was covered by a layer of soft silk, which was embroidered with intricate and exquisite grassland flowers, colorful and shining.
When you lift the silk, a warm and fragrant scent hits you in the face.
The tent is spacious inside, with a large, gorgeous cashmere bed in the center, covered with soft satin bedding in rich colors and beautiful patterns.
A light gauze curtain hung beside the bed, also embroidered with exquisite patterns.
The tent walls are made of soft silk and heavy felt.
The tent is decorated with exquisite tapestries and colorful wall hangings, making it look like a dream palace.
In the corner stands a uniquely shaped copper stove inlaid with various gems, sparkling with dazzling light.
In a corner of the tent, there is a small and exquisite desk, on which are placed writing brushes, inkstones, and an exquisite vase.
Arriving here, Yarong couldn't help but smile. She gently turned over and hooked her arms around Liu Heiying's neck:
"General, this place is more beautiful and luxurious than my military tent in the royal court."
"As long as you like it." Liu Heying put his arms around her slender waist with a smile on his face.
The importance of Yarong is self-evident. He spent six thousand taels of silver to decorate the cave completely.
More than a hundred people lost their lives for this, after all, this place is a secret.
Yarong gently pushed Liu Heiying onto the big bed and said softly:
"General, I want to have a child for you."
Having come this far, Liu Heiying licked his lips:
"Then I'll be quicker, so as not to keep Your Highness waiting."
Yarong's eyes were charming, she bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, and nodded with a red face.
Half an hour later, Liu Heiying, wearing armor and scratching his head, walked out of the cave. His legs and feet were a little weak, and he staggered when he stepped on stones. His face was slightly red.
Walking out of the cave, the cold wind blowing in his face dissipated some of the beauty in his mind, and his head became clearer.
But what followed was deep fatigue.
Lu Yunyi was lying on two war horses at the moment. When he saw him coming out, he smiled and joked:
"General, why are you so fast? Are you tired?"
Liu Heiying's face froze, and a hint of uneasiness flashed in his eyes.
He quickly ran up to him and punched Lu Yunyi a few times, bang bang bang!
"Brother Yun'er, please don't make fun of me."
Lu Yunyi laughed loudly, stood up straight, jumped off his horse, and looked him up and down:
"When you are well fed and warm, you will think about sex, Black Eagle. You need to eat more, or you may not be able to have children."
"How could that be? I'm fine."
Liu Heiying's eyes rolled around, and he moved closer and asked in a low voice:
"Brother Yun'er, we train all day and we are exhausted, but why... why don't we improve?"
"It's you, not me." Lu Yunyi emphasized, and stepped forward to pinch his arm, each muscle was full of strength.
"You train your body, but you can't train your little eagle."
"Eagle?"
A look of doubt flashed across Liu Heiying's eyes, but he quickly reacted and punched Lu Yunyi a few more times, bang bang bang.
"Brother Yun'er, if you have a good idea, please tell me. Give birth to a son sooner and feel at ease sooner. Even if the truth is exposed, it doesn't matter."
A sneer flashed across Lu Yunyi's face, and his white teeth were particularly obvious under the moonlight. He patted Liu Heiying's shoulder hard:
"The battle is over. I'll prescribe some nourishing medicine for you when I get home. The most important thing is to go to bed early and get up early.
Don't let that Li Mama eat your marrow and drink your blood all day long. These prostitutes like you pure-hearted and innocent men the most."
"What blood?"
"One drop of semen and ten drops of blood."
Lu Yunyi looked indifferent, jumped on his horse, and raised his eyebrows at Liu Heiying who was standing there in a daze:
"Get on the horse and go see how Ortai is doing."
"okay."
After being stunned for a long time, Liu Heiying climbed onto his horse and looked towards the cave behind him reluctantly. He could vaguely see a figure in a long robe.
"Stop looking, let's go."
"it is good."
Half an hour later, it was midnight.
The two came to a small wooden house hidden in a valley and met two confidants who were still staying there.
Coming here, Lu Yunyi is much happier.
Seeing the two slightly depressed soldiers, Lu Yunyi hurriedly stepped forward with a smile, opened his arms and embraced them.
"Qingfei, Jianing, long time no see."
Li Qingfei is very handsome, with a face like pine or cypress, a high nose bridge and eyes like stars.
Lin Jianing is also very handsome, with a face like a jade, eyebrows like distant mountains, and hair like flowing springs.
Both of them are under 20 years old and are native to Gyeongju.
He has known Lu Yunyi since childhood. They played in the mud and played house together when they were young, and studied in the same school. He is his fellow townsman and confidant.
"Brother! You are finally here. We are almost bored here." Li Qingfei was extremely happy and said excitedly.
Lin Jianing was not good at speaking, so he nodded frequently and called out "Big Brother".
Then they looked at Liu Heiying and called out "Brother Heiying".
Liu Heiying was very happy to see them and kept smiling.
Lu Yunyi looked at Liu Heiying and said, "Go see Ortai and tell him about the arrangements."
"okay."
Seeing Liu Heiying leaving quickly, Lu Yunyi turned to look at the two people in front of him, patted their shoulders vigorously, and whispered:
"My identity has not been exposed."
"Don't worry, big brother. Ortai has always regarded you as Arisleng."
Lu Yunyi nodded, a smile appeared on his face, and he whispered:
"The war is over, we have won a great victory.
I have arranged your merits,
You alone led the cavalry to break through the enemy's formation and were the first to reach the enemy's territory.
One man fought bravely in battle, defeated the enemy chief, and achieved extraordinary feats.
There are also some minor contributions, which I have written down above. ”
As he spoke, Lu Yunyi took out two letters from his pocket and handed them over:
"Remember the above and destroy the letter.
I will arrange your rewards, and you can take up your posts immediately after you return."
The two took the letter, their faces showing excitement, Li Qingfei said:
"Brother, we didn't fight with you, so it's not appropriate to take this reward."
Lin Jianing raised his arm and pushed him: "Just listen to what Big Brother says and follow Big Brother's arrangements."
Lu Yunyi smiled and lowered his voice:
"What you share is all my credit. As long as you and I don't tell anyone, no one will know."
"That's even worse." Li Qingfei suddenly became anxious, and so was Lin Jianing.
Lu Yunyi waved his hand: "I have contributed too much to this trip, so it won't make a difference if I share this little bit."
As he spoke, Lu Yunyi handed over another letter:
"This is what happened after you left the camp. You must also write it down and then destroy the letter."
Li Qingfei took it from behind, a firm look flashed across his handsome and tender face, and he nodded vigorously:
"Don't worry, brother. We will remember this."
Lu Yunyi smiled and touched their heads:
"Well, you guys continue to stay here and keep an eye on him.
I will send someone to inform you when I return to Gyeongju.
You may have to take people to Liaodong before returning to Qingzhou."
When the two heard the order, they nodded vigorously without hesitation and said, "I understand."
Lu Yunyi was very satisfied with the two of them, so he took out three pots of wine from his horse bag and handed them over:
"Come and taste the new wine of the army,
When you return to Gyeongju, I will welcome you back.
Then we can go to the capital and try our luck and see if we can make a name for ourselves."
Li Qingfei raised his wine jug with excitement, while Lin Jianing also raised his wine jug with a reserved look.
"Cheers, big brother."
Lu Yunyi smiled happily and bumped the wine jug in his hand against it:
"drink."
