Brocade legend

Chapter 96

And Wang Qiong, as a veteran minister of the Ming Dynasty, has his own gaps in his heart, and he is even more clear about who is who?

Lu Bing looked at Wang Qiong again, and understood in his heart that Wang Qiong was an old man of several dynasties, and he was very clear about the court. What he said was probably not just after he came to power, but also now, the Mashi case .He wants to let himself know that there are too many people involved behind this, some of them are not involved intentionally, so don't make too much trouble and try to solve it in a low-key manner.

Lu Bing knew that Wang Qiong must have seen that he did not want to bring the blood of the North into the capital, so he came to persuade him, because Wang Qiong knew that he must understand.

Lu Bing sighed, feeling sorry for this old man, who is dying of illness and still cares about the world.

Lu Bing said: "Don't worry, my lord, Lu Bing knows what's in his mind, whether it's now or in the future, he will think twice."

After listening to Lu Bing's words, Wang Qiong nodded reassuringly, and said with a smile: "With Master Lu's words, I can go on the road with peace of mind, but there is still one thing I need to trouble you with."

"My lord, please tell me." Lu Bing said
"Right now, the little prince is already approaching the outside of Yulin City, right? This little prince Bodi is the strongest Khan in Mongolia today, and he can control [-] strings under his command. I'm still worried when I go." Wang Qiong worried.

Lu Bing reassured him: "Master Tang Long is here, you can rest assured, my lord has some communication with Mr. Tang, and Mr. Tang is not someone who doesn't understand weapons."

Wang Qiong sighed: "Although Mr. Tang has a heart and is capable of literary and military skills, the old man is always worried. The little prince will not retreat. The old man really can't go back to Beijing with peace of mind. Can you take the old man to the city defense? Just to encourage the soldiers, The old man can also feel at ease. If I can see the Mongols retreating with my own eyes, the old man will die and rest in peace."

"This... I'm sorry, I can't take the boss's body as a risk." Lu Bing hesitated for a while, but still firmly refused. Qiong opened her mouth to argue again, and said directly: "However, the lower officials can give the boss a high-five as an oath, and before the boss arrives in the capital, there will be a good news soon!"

Seeing Lu Bing's resolute expression, Wang Qiong thought of a series of things about Lu Bing, so he shook his head and said with a smile: "Since your lord is so resolute, I have no choice but to obey!"

Lu Bing took the initiative to extend his hand, Wang Qiong looked at Lu Bing and said with a smile: "It's fine to clap your hands, as long as you remember what you said."

Lu Bing firmly said: "There is no proof in words, high-five is an oath!"

Seeing Lu Bing's serious and confident expression, Wang Qiong also restrained his smile. In fact, he didn't quite believe Lu Bing's words. Maybe Lu Bing and Tang Long could make the little prince retreat by relying on the behemoth Daming.But he didn't believe it was possible to do it in such a short time before he arrived in the capital.So he didn't want to high-five with Lu Bing, he wanted to leave a way out for Lu Bing, lest Lu Bing break his promise and affect his prestige in the end.But at this moment, seeing Lu Bing's confident expression, he couldn't help but want to believe it.

Wang Qiong stretched out his hand, clapped three times firmly with Lu Bing, and made an agreement.

Wang Qiong laughed and said: "The old man will leave for Beijing tomorrow, and wait for the good news from your lord."

Lu Bing nodded, and said: "Your Majesty, I will set off immediately with Master Tang, and set up defenses outside the city, waiting for the little prince. I can't come to see you off tomorrow, please forgive me."

Wang Qiong said with a smile: "Your Majesty Lu is very polite. I have already urged Master Tang to leave, but he insisted on waiting for Your Excellency to come. It was also my proposal to let him go today. Why should I blame you? However, if you want to Arm your defenses, the old man has a proposal."

"My lord, it's okay to say." Lu Bing cupped his hands
"Okay." Wang Qiong said solemnly: "The old man has been here for many years, and he has a little understanding of the terrain here. He went out of Yulin in the north and walked five or six miles along the Yuxi River. There is a red stone gorge. The old man has visited it. The terrain there It is dangerous, strangling the throat of Yulin. On weekdays, the old man only set up an outpost there, with beacons, and warnings at any time, so as to block the way for the Mongols to go south. In wartime, it can be used as a natural line of defense, and Yulin City has more Provide a guarantee. Mr. Lu can go to Hongshi Gorge first to have a look and think about it."

Lu Bing clasped his fists and said, "Your official must go."

After Lu Bing left Wang Qiong's residence, he took Huang Duxian, Shitou, Yang Sen, Liu Biao, Xue Yang, Li Jin and others to follow Tang Long all the way to Hongshi Gorge.

The next day, Wang Qiong, who had been in the Northland for many years, finally left the city in a carriage and several guards when the fuel was exhausted.

Wang Qiong on the carriage bid farewell to the officials, generals, and common people who were seeing him off, and lay on the carriage and gradually traveled far away.

Wang Qiong was lying on the car, calculating involuntarily in her heart, and after a while, she suddenly shouted: "Stop!"

With the help of her family, Wang Qiong stood on the shaft of the car, looking at Yulin City in the distance.

Having been here for many years, Wang Qiong knows Yulin well.From the moment he left the city gate, he could not help but silently calculate.

At that moment just now, he knew in his heart that if he walked a few more steps, he would not be able to see Yulin City at all.

He finally couldn't help it, and wanted to take another look at Yulin City, because maybe after this farewell, he would never see this place again, the place he had been fighting for for the rest of his life.

He stood on the shaft of the car, looking at the hazy silhouette silently, as if he could still hear the cries of different races and spoken languages ​​in the city.You can still hear the clinking of swords and armor on the city wall, as well as the strong smell of mutton soup mixed with wind and sand.

Wang Qiong suddenly felt a sore nose, the secret path was bad, and it was too late to control it.

He sighed in his heart, he was old and couldn't even control his tears.

Wang Gongzi Wang Chaoli stepped forward and said: "Father, there is a lot of wind and sand outside the car, let's go in and rest." While talking, he raised his head and saw tears on his father's face, he couldn't help being stunned.

Wang Qiong sighed and motioned for his son to help him down.

After Wang Qiong finally lay down in the car again, Wang Chaoli opened the leather water bag, moistened a cloth towel and offered it to him.

Wang Qiong took it, wiped his face covered with wind and sand from tears, and said, "Let's go!"

The carriage started on the road again, and after a while, a voice came from the carriage: "Son, after I die, send me back to my hometown, but I will be buried in a place far away from the north."

"My son knows." Wang Chaoli said sadly in his heart.

Wang Qiong then embarked on the road back to Beijing. At this time, Lu Bing and Tang Long had already led an army of [-] to set up defenses outside the city. They had already arrived in Hongshi Gorge yesterday evening.
