Strong Woman: The Secret Service Concubine

Chapter 3: Attack of the Sand Pirates
"Is the news accurate?" The man on the seat wore a half black and half silver mask, and his voice was even colder to the bone.

The room was empty and unlit, and the darkness gave people a very uncomfortable feeling.

"According to the investigation of my subordinates, since Long Xinyu fell into a coma, Long Qingshan's health has been worsening day by day! It was even worse a few days ago, and Long Xinyu has already woken up. My lord, this is the best time for us to attack the border. !" The man standing on the ground lowered his head, he didn't dare to look at his master, the man who existed like a god in his heart

"Okay! The old man Longqingshan has guarded here for 30 years, and he has suffered a lot. This time, let him have a taste of suffering!" The man on the seat suddenly laughed, It looks like the whole world is respecting me.

"Young Master Yun is really in a good mood! What's the matter? Could it be that some young lady is going to snatch her to be Mrs. Yazhai!" A voice came from a distance, "I'll have to wait for this matter, I'll help you!"

"Swallow stealing, your sound transmission skills for thousands of miles have improved! I snatched it to be Mrs. Yazhai, and I didn't steal it. What's the use of waiting for you?" The men standing on the ground couldn't help but covered their ears with their hands. Now, those who are sensible quickly backed out, or they would be shocked to death by this sound wave.

"If you want to rob me, you can't miss me, Master Yun!" A voice reached the man's ears again, and the man couldn't help laughing, "It turns out that he is the most famous brother Qianjin in the world! When will you Messed with that dead swallow?"

"He told me, Young Master Yun, you have fun things to do, and you're offering good wine and meat, so I'll come here and ask for a drink!" The man who called himself Wanqianjin spoke in a rough and powerful voice.

"Look at what Brother Qianjin said. Back then, Brother Qianjin challenged the top ten masters of the rivers and lakes by himself, and you lifted up a thousand-jin heavy stone at once. Come to drink here to save face!" The young man smiled and said, "I'm going to ask someone to prepare to receive the two of you!"

"It's all in the past, so Yun Shao still remembers that there is such a number one person as me!"

"Okay, okay, don't be polite here, who doesn't know the origin of your name Wanqianjin! Besides, what kind of person is Yun Shao, and what is going on in the world, nothing escapes his eyes! I want Hurry up and drink some good wine." The man who was called Swallow Stealing relied on his outstanding lightness skills, and disappeared in an instant, leaving Wan Sanqian laughing heartily.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them had already arrived at the man's room. The man named Yan Zi had a face with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. , the ground trembled slightly.

"Brothers have been waiting for a long time!" The person who came in was wearing a mask, but his figure was very elegant, and one couldn't help but imagine what a handsome face was underneath the mask.

"Young Master Yun!" The two clasped their fists at the same time, and bowed, showing that they were afraid of admiring the visitor from the bottom of their hearts.

"My brother, please be polite!" The man who was replaced by Yun Shao went to the chair and sat down and continued, "Since the two brothers are here, I really have something to ask for!"

"But listen to Young Master Yun's orders!" The two said it almost in unison. This combination of tall, short, fat and thin really makes people feel a little funny.

"It's nothing important, come on, let's sit down and talk while drinking!" The two of them quickly ran to the chairs and sat down. Really good wine! Good wine!"

After drinking for three rounds, the man who was replaced by Yun Shao stood up and said to the other two, "I'm going to lead the sand bandits to attack the border this time, and divide the troops into three groups. There is no shortage of generals in the sand bandits, but like the two brothers There is really no such master, I wonder if the two of you are willing to help the next one?"

Hearing that the border gates were going to be attacked, Yanzi woke up half of the time by stealing thousands of catties of wine. People in the Jianghu have an unwritten rule, that is, they must not get involved with the government or form hatred. Make things difficult for them.

"Don't worry, brother. I just hope that the two brothers can help me lead the Sand Bandits to disperse most of the army. There is no need to start a real war. What I want is the leader!" His eyes glowed coldly and bloodthirsty , "If the two brothers help me, I and all the Sand Pirates will be grateful!"

"I said Yun Shao, I, Yanzi, secretly helped you with this matter, but can you tell me how beautiful that leader is!" Yanzi secretly hiccupped while talking, reeking of alcohol.

"Young Master Yun, I, Wan Sanqian, have the brute force. I am lucky to be appreciated by you, and I will take care of it!" Wan Sanqian gnawed on a leg of lamb.

"Then I will thank the two of you here first!" He took a small glass of wine and drank it down, followed by hearty laughter.

In the military barracks at the border, a group of people sat together, talking about discussing the military situation, but the room was so quiet that even the sound of a needle dropping on the ground could be heard.Everyone frowned solemnly.

"You guys are talking, there is no way to go on like this. According to the report from the spies, the sand bandits are planning to attack the border on a large scale this time, and people from the Jianghu will join them!" Seeing that no one spoke, a younger general couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"What can I do! The old general's health is getting worse day by day, and you have also seen the martial arts of the leader of the sand bandits, Hongyun. Besides the old general, who can be his opponent?"

"Then let's invite the old general! Maybe he can find a solution!" A general who was also very young suggested
"No, you can't tell the old general!" Many people shouted in unison. These people had fought with Long Qingshan through life and death.

"You're right, you can't tell the old general. With his current body, going to the battlefield is going to die! We are all subordinates brought out by the old general, how can we let the old general go to die?" An older general stood up. Said, "If the sand bandits attack, we will fight together, even if the last drop of blood is shed, we must also protect the old general and the border!"

"Confused! Why I haven't come to the barracks for a few days, are you going to rebel?" Long Qingshan walked in from the outside without anger and prestige. Although he could still see the fatigue in his battle robe, he was more energetic than usual Quite a few, Long Xinyu secretly dressed up as an attendant and followed her father out, but she didn't expect him to come to the military camp.

"See General!" Seeing Long Qingshan, everyone knelt down. This person who has guarded the border for more than [-] years for his own country is worthy of everyone's respect and admiration.

"Get up! If there is any movement from Sand Pirates, report it quickly!" Long Qingshan sat on the main seat, and frowned when he saw the information presented, "Is it accurate?"

"Returning to the old general, I have already sent spies to confirm that the sand bandits have dispatched almost all of their staff this time, because they know that the old general is ill, and they are planning to break through the border in one fell swoop!"

"Then do you have any countermeasures?" Long Qingshan handed the information to Long Xinyu who secretly followed him, and looked at the generals sitting below.

"Reporting to the general, we are going to fight to the death with the sand bandits!" A general knelt on the ground with a righteous look, "Swear to the death to live and die with the border!"

The voice echoed in the room, and the determination of the soldiers could be heard.

"Confused!" Long Qingshan stood up angrily, walked in front of him and said, "You can die, I can die, anyone in this room can die! But the border gate must be guarded, you know? Our duty is to guard At the border, there are countless innocent people behind us. We are small individuals, but the people in the whole city and even the whole country are big! Go back and reflect on yourself!"

"Yes, General!" The man kneeling on the ground retreated, and there was no sound in the military tent for a while.Long Qingshan sat at the table, picked up a pen and quickly wrote a letter, walked up to a general and said: "Qingguan, you take my letter and token, and go to Beijing right now! Ask the emperor to send someone to support!"

"General, I want to be with you!" The general named Qingguan is not old, he looks 27, he is a general who followed Longqingshan after joining the army, and his relationship is naturally close.

"The task I give you is the most important. I tell you, you can die, but the information and letters must not be lost. They must be sent to the emperor. The lives of thousands of people at the border are on you. This is a military order! "Long Qingshan also patted him on the shoulder reluctantly, and couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: Qingguan, Qingguan, you are the general I value most, you can't let me down!"

"The last general takes orders!" Qingguan left the military tent with the information and letters, and the tent was still dead silent, waiting for the old man who was about to be over fifty years old to continue giving orders.It seems that with him, there is hope for everything.

"Wei Liang, Zheng Guanyi, Qi Xi, go back and organize your army well, and follow me when the sand bandits attack!" Long Qingshan sat back on his chair again, "The other generals should also be ready when we go back. If you don’t come back, if the sand bandits come to attack again, you must stick to the border and not fight until Qingguan returns, do you hear me?”

"The last general takes orders!" All the generals knelt on the ground, whether they were about to go to the battlefield or to defend the border, there was a firm light in their eyes, not as desperate and helpless as they were at the beginning.

Long Xinyu raised her head and looked at Long Qingshan. He held his head up, and his resolute face became even firmer. She suddenly felt very proud, proud of having such a stalwart father!
"Get up! Everyone is tired, go back and rest! The day after tomorrow I will come to the army to watch everyone's exercises, I hope you can rectify well when you go back, this time the war is not as usual, do you understand?" Long Qingshan got up and walked out , Long Xinyu hurriedly lowered her head and followed her out.

"Xiao Yizi, you go back first! I want to walk alone!" Long Qingshan said to Long Xinyu who was behind him, "You are not allowed to mention what happened in the military camp today, including Miss and Xi'er!"

Long Xinyu wanted to ask him where she was going by herself, but she was afraid that her identity would be exposed if she opened her mouth, so she could only lower her head and go back to the General's Mansion first. Along the way, she could see many unknown Xiaohua, but Long Xinyu's heart is extremely heavy. It can be heard that the attack of the Sand Pirates has left the entire army helpless. Her father is still ill for a long time now. To fight is nothing more than to die, but what can I do if I refuse to fight?

As soon as she entered the bedroom, Long Xinyu saw the sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus seed soup that Xi'er put on the table. Looking at the bowl of soup, she secretly had some plans in her heart.
