I am the carpenter king

Chapter 518 Retreat

Without the slightest melancholy, the girl came to Wei Chao's side, saluted respectfully, and said, "My daughter has met her father, and the matter that my father told me has been done. Both Granny Huang and Mr. Fan are inside, but my daughter has let me go." , there is no secret passage here."

Looking at the girl lovingly, Wei Chao's face flashed with joy, he nodded with a smile, and said: "Okay, very good! My father will ask the emperor for an imperial decree for you, and you will follow my father from now on! So many years It's really hard for you, I'm sorry for my father!"

Standing beside Wei Chao, Luo Sigong was stunned for a while, but he didn't expect that this girl was Wei Chao's daughter, the eunuch's daughter, which made Luo Sigong feel like he couldn't laugh or cry.But among the eunuchs, this kind of thing is not unusual, but Luo Sigong didn't expect Wei Chao to have a daughter.

In the Forbidden City, most of the eunuchs were sent to the palace when they were young, but some of them were not.These people were actually sent to the palace after they became adults. These people were forced by life, and it was not uncommon for them to have wives and children.

Although Wei Chao was only a teenager when he entered the palace, he already had a wife and a daughter at that time.Later, because of a disaster at home, he was separated from his wife and daughter, and after so many years, he was still found by Wei Chao.

"Eunuch Wei, what's going on? Is this your daughter?" After arranging the matter of arrest, Luo Sigong couldn't wait to come to Wei Chao and asked curiously.

"Yes! Our family had a wife before entering the palace, and this is my daughter. Speaking of this matter, I still have to thank Mr. Luo. The last time we learned from Mr. Luo at our house that there is a woman next to the Saintess of the White Lotus Sect. A very trustworthy maid, our family took care of it. While sending someone to the White Lotus Sect to be an undercover agent, we naturally checked this maid carefully. It doesn’t matter if you don’t check, we found out that Ping Ping’er was lost by our family Daughter!" Wei Chao's face was very excited, and his expression was full of gratitude.

It was a coincidence.After discovering this, Wei Chao met Ping'er in person and confirmed the father-daughter relationship between the two.After that, Ping'er became Dongchang's biggest undercover agent in the White Lotus Sect.

"Eunuch Wei has a generous heart, and he can let his own daughter risk her life, Luo is really admired!" Luo Sigong hurriedly saved his chest.He looked at Wei Chao sincerely, but there was an inexplicable taste in his eyes.

As the governor of Dongchang, Wei Chao is naturally extremely intelligent, and he understood Luo Sigong's meaning in an instant.Originally, I just thought that after my daughter made meritorious service, I would be able to obtain a legal identity for her daughter with Emperor Tianqi.Hearing Luo Sigong's words, Wei Chao suddenly changed his mind.

Knowing that this was Luo Sigong reminding himself, Wei Chao immediately nodded understandingly.If he said that he sent his daughter to the White Lotus Sect to be an undercover agent, then not only would her daughter be able to clean up her crimes, but she would also have the impression of being impartial and selfless.The credit is naturally great, and the benefits are naturally many.

Glancing at Luo Sigong gratefully, Wei Chao smiled and cupped his fists and said, "Master Luo is really thoughtful, our family knows it!"

While the two were talking, people from Jinyiwei and Dongchang had already rushed in. This was just a small courtyard, and there were not many people inside, so the battle didn't last long.Soon several people were escorted out.Naturally, there is the gentle and gentle Mr. Fan, and Granny Huang is also among them.

But when the two saw the girl standing with Wei Chao.His face was full of shock and disbelief.After figuring out what was going on, the eyes of the two were filled with hatred, as if they wanted to tear Wei Ping'er apart.

"Are you worthy of the saint? If it weren't for the saint, you would have starved to death on the street, and now you have betrayed the holy religion, you will not end well!" It seemed to express the resentment in my heart.Granny Huang stared at Wei Ping'er fiercely and cursed.

However, it was Dongchang's fan who was holding Granny Huang, and his expression became very ugly. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he took off Granny Huang's chin.Granny Huang could only make a humming sound.But the eyes became more severe.

Leaning her body in Wei Chao's arms, Wei Ping'er did not dare to look at Granny Huang, her face was full of inferior eyes, and her body was trembling constantly.

Gently stroking his daughter's back, Wei Chao's face was full of pity and regret at the same time.However, the gaze towards Granny Huang was unusually cold, as if she was not looking at a person, but a corpse.

Although Luo Sigong on the side saw Wei Chao's eyes, Luo Sigong didn't show the slightest expression, as if he didn't see anything.Luo Sigong was very clear in his heart that the life and death of these people was not up to him and Wei Chao, and he also believed that Wei Chao would not dare to do anything in private.

Although tossing and tossing all night, Luo Sigong didn't show the slightest tired look on his face, he was still full of energy, and he looked at the Forbidden City with relief.

At this time, on the land of Liaodong, Sun Chengzong could not breathe a sigh of relief. The battle that he thought would be smooth fell into anxiety.Fushun, which was originally thought to be taken soon, has been fought for three days but there is no sign of falling.

Looking at the map in front of him, Sun Chengzong frowned tightly. The weather was getting colder and colder, and it was becoming less and less suitable for the army to fight.In the past few days, more and more soldiers were unable to act due to frostbite. Sun Chengzong knew that if he did not retreat, he might not be able to retreat.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Sun Chengzong did not turn his head, but said in a slightly hoarse voice: "What's the matter? Don't disturb me if there is nothing!" In Sun Chengzong's view, in such a late night, the only way to disturb yourself is own soldiers.

However, Sun Chengzong's thoughts soon came to nothing, because Xiong Tingbi's voice sounded behind him, and he said with a little worry: "My lord, it's so late, why don't you rest?"

Xiong Tingbi came out to the training camp at night, but he didn't expect that Sun Chengzong's tent was still lit, so he walked over to have a look, but he didn't expect that Sun Chengzong was still asleep.

"Feibai! I'm too old to sleep!" Sun Chengzong saw that it was Xiong Tingbi, and a look of joy flashed across his face. He looked at Xiong Tingbi with a smile, and said in a confident voice.

"My lord, your health is not very good in such a cold day, you should rest early! It doesn't matter if we can't win Fushun now, we can come again, your lord's body is much more important than Fushun city!" Xiong Tingbi knew that Sun Chengzong drank a lot of tea again, and his brows frowned.

Although Sun Chengzong was in good spirits and in good health on weekdays, Xiong Tingbi knew it very well.For Sun Chengzong, who is over sixty years old, the bitter cold place in Liaodong is really not suitable.But Xiong Tingbi also knew that this land of Liaodong could not live without Sun Chengzong, otherwise it would be very troublesome.

"Feibai! The weather is so cold now, and Fushun City is ready. It seems that it is not easy for us to take Fushun City!" Looking deeply at Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chengzong had a trace of hesitation on his face. At this time, Sun Chengzong Also a little undecided.

Sighing lightly, Xiong Tingbi naturally knew the meaning of Sun Chengzong's words, but Xiong Tingbi had no good solution.If you give him a month, it will be enough to take down Fushun City, but now it is powerless.

Lowering his head and thinking for a while, Xiong Tingbi said in a deep voice, "Master, now we have two choices. First, we withdraw as soon as possible to reduce losses. Second, continue to attack Fushun and take Fushun City regardless of losses."

"What do you think?" Looking at Xiong Tingbi with a smile, as if all worries were gone, Sun Chengzong returned to his original demeanor.

"My lord, I think the troops should be withdrawn now!" Looking up at Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi's tone was very serious, and a firm light flashed in his eyes.

Nodding with a smile, Sun Chengzong's face flashed a touch of relief, and he said in a relaxed tone: "Tell me why?"

"My lord, Fushun is just a city, and there will be opportunities to take it down in the future. Those outside are all Ming soldiers, and they are even elite soldiers from Liaodong. We can't afford their loss!" Xiong Tingbi's face flickered. Painful, with unshakable determination in his tone, he looked at Sun Chengzong with piercing eyes.

Sighing, Sun Chengzong said with a smile on his face, "In that case, then withdraw the troops!" (To be continued...)
