The reborn abandoned woman reigns

Chapter 162 The Secret of Identity

Taking two steps forward, holding the hand of Changsun Jingrong, Sima Xukong said, "Why did you go out with so little clothes on? What if it's freezing?"

"It's not that you are pushing so hard that I can't even sleep." Changsun Jingrong withdrew his palm, and at the same time found that although the officers and soldiers around him were not looking sideways, there was a strange light flashing in their eyes, and there was a little bit of disagreement at that moment. , said in a cold voice, "They say they are afraid that I will be cold, why are you still standing outside? Is the fire in your tent so precious that others can't use it?"

"How come, the mirror is here, I definitely want to add more flames," Sima Xukong smiled flatteringly, and then welcomed him into the tent.

Looking up at the tall and spacious camp, Changsun Jingrong found that although the facilities here were simple, everything was available, which was in line with Sima Xukong's tough image.

With no outsiders around, Sima Xukong didn't have so many worries. He directly put his eldest grandson Jingrong on his knees, and the two of them sat together by the fire, and rubbed her palms for her. The officers and soldiers are here, you reprimand me, and you don't save me any face!"

"Whatever my business, why don't you cover the ears of those officers and soldiers," Changsun Jingrong said with a bit of reproach that he didn't notice, "you definitely didn't ask me to come here to discuss these things." Now, tell me what you think."

"I received a message from you, did you see Helian Zilin today?"

Nodding silently, Changsun Jingrong said: "Well, he originally wanted me to leave the capital, but I discovered his identity during the conversation. Why do you think Helian Zilin chose Xu Zizheng? What good can Zizheng do for him? I don’t think Helian Zilin is short of anything, so why bother with Pepper Milk?”

"There are so many questions, which one do you want me to answer first?" Sima Xukong said, patting the forehead of Changsun Jingrong with a smile, "I think that Helian Zilin's helping Xu Zizheng may not be for profit, I also think, I can’t help myself.”

"Can't help yourself?" Changsun Jingrong said disdainfully, "With his identity as Mr. Zi Lin, no matter whether it is in the world or in the court, he is a figure who can be called by everyone. Who can blackmail him?"

"Things in the world are unpredictable, just like we never thought, Xu Zizheng will also be a prince, maybe Helian Zilin also has his unspeakable secrets."

Looking at Sima Xukong suspiciously, Changsun Jingrong raised his eyebrows and said: "You are really strange. A few days ago, you were talking to Mr. Zilin in a strange way. Why are you talking good things about him now? Women are said to be fickle, but I See you are more fickle than a woman!"

Feeling the warmth of Changsun Jingrong's palm, Sima Xukong let her go and said, "I'm just discussing the matter. He's always trying to get your attention. Of course I have to be on guard against him, but morally speaking, I really can't find anything wrong with Mr. Zi Lin. After such an analysis, Mr. Zi Lin may have something to hide."

Stretching out her hand to explore beside the fire, the light of the fire made the eldest grandson Jingrong's face turn red, and after a while, she said: "Mr. Zilin doesn't care about fame and wealth, but he values ​​loyalty. Xu Zizheng must use this to make use of Zilin Sir, let him work for him. However, I can see from what he said yesterday that Mr. Zilin will not oppose the people in the capital because of Xu Zizheng's relationship. His function should be to serve Xu Zizheng Make suggestions. However, Mr. Zi Lin travels to and from the capital as if entering no man's land, and he does not know how many secrets he will discover. If we can know his identity earlier, we can also make preparations earlier."

Seeing that Changsun Jingrong was annoyed, Sima Xukong comforted him and said, "Don't worry, the secret weapon is well protected by me and will never let anyone take advantage of it. No matter who he is or how old he is, Ability, as long as I decide to protect something, there is absolutely no possibility of being discovered!"

Seeing Sima Xukong's self-confidence, Changsun Jingrong's heart relaxed a little, and then asked: "Then, have you been guarding against Helian Zilin for a long time, or are you guarding against other people?"

"I never thought that Helian Zilin would be someone next to Xu Zizheng. It's just that years of court life made me used to it." Sima Xukong said as he straightened his eldest grandson Jingrong's long hair with a smile, "And as soon as possible Knowing that is good for us. Besides, I don’t think one more Helian Zilin will change the situation much. The victory in this battle will eventually belong to us!”

Sima Xukong's carefulness seemed to have infected Changsun Jingrong, and she couldn't help but relax her tense state of mind, and said slowly: "Since you have prepared the countermeasures, why did you ask me to come here? "

Grinning, he approached his eldest grandson Jingrong, Sima Xukong flattered him like a dog, and said, "We haven't seen each other for several days, don't you miss me? Now there is a chance for you to come to the barracks , isn't that good."

Although He Nuo now showed a very well-behaved appearance, but the eldest grandson Jingrong didn't buy it at all, he pushed it aside with one hand, and said, "I'm very tired now, if I'm fine, I want to go back and rest first."

"Don't be kidding, it's so late, and the road back to the palace is rough and dangerous." Sima Xukong tried his best to stop him, "You don't want me to work hard for many days, and you have to worry about your safety. That's good Already, you can temporarily stay in the barracks for one night today, and then go back to the palace tomorrow, okay?"

Looking at Sima Xukong's bloodshot eyes, Changsun Jingrong sighed faintly, thinking to himself that this accident was quite a challenge for Sima Xukong.Thinking about this in his heart, he couldn't speak again if he refused, so Changsun Jingrong could only say: "Okay, let's deal with it for one night first. Then which tent should I live in?"

"That..." Sima Xukong smiled reluctantly and said, "There are no extra tents in the barracks, otherwise, you can spend the night here first."

Upon hearing this, Changsun Jingrong's expression changed instantly, and he stood up abruptly, and said angrily, "Sima Xukong, you did it on purpose!"

Seeing that the eldest grandson Jingrong was angry, Sima Xukong quickly explained: "Jingrong, don't worry, you can sleep on the bed alone. I still have a lot of memorials to read, so I won't be able to sleep tonight."

Changsun Jingrong didn't expect Sima Xukong to answer like this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said in an indistinct voice: "How can I do without rest, isn't my body exhausted? Now Long Rui can count on you, if you fall If you get off, it’s really a group of dragons without a leader.”

With a wry smile on his face, Sima Xukong said: "But if I don't do it, it will accumulate more and more, and it will still be a problem in the end. And it's just a few nights without sleep, it's nothing."

How many nights?

Changsun Jingrong raised his eyebrows, and asked in a bad tone: "What do you mean by that? Could it be that you haven't slept in the past few days?"

"Uh... I have rested too. I take a nap when I have time." Sima Xukong saw that the eldest grandson Jingrong's complexion was a little dark, so he hurriedly defended himself, "I know my body well, but Jingrong just Don't worry about me! After you leave tomorrow morning, my memorial is almost finished reviewing, so you can take a rest. Don't worry, I will take care of myself. If you feel tired, you don't need to tell me, I will be fine Can't stop."

Seeing that he couldn't convince Sima Xukong, Changsun Jingrong couldn't help feeling annoyed, wondering when did this man become so stubborn?He dared not even listen to his own words!
Patting Changsun Jingrong on the shoulder, Sima Xukong spread the bed and said, "Okay, stop arguing about this, come and lie down for a while, my bed is not as soft as in the palace, but it is quite comfortable .”

But when the eldest grandson Jingrong just sat on the bed, he felt that the simple bed was extremely hard, it was really uncomfortable, it was really far from being comfortable.However, the tiger fur quilt prepared by Sima Xukong was warm and soft, covering his body, he could feel warm after a while.

Raising his eyebrows and looking at Sima Xukong, who was seriously reviewing the memorial under the light, Changsun Jingrong's heart became like this soft light, as warm as water and sparkling.

At some point, Changsun Jingrong fell into a dreamland, and almost as soon as she fell asleep, Sima Xukong turned his head, looked at her peaceful sleeping face, and showed a faint smile.

Although the place was changed, the eldest grandson Jingrong slept very peacefully that night, as if he felt at ease because of the protection of others.And when she woke up, Sima Xukong was no longer in the camp, and only after calling Lei Qing'er did she find out that he had already led the soldiers to drill.

"What, didn't you say that I will rest when I wake up? Why did you go out to practice?"

Changsun Jingrong murmured a little depressed, but Lei Qing'er didn't hear what she said clearly, and was about to ask, but heard Bao'er greeted Ann outside the door.

Changsun Jingrong asked Lei Qing'er to clean up for him before calling Bao'er in.

First he bowed to his eldest grandson Jingrong, and then Bao'er said: "My lord, my lord has told you that after you wake up, someone will arrange breakfast for you."

"Forget it, it's getting late, you just go about your own business, I'm going back too." Changsun Jingrong got up and walked outside the tent without giving Bao'er a chance to refute.

Looking at the bright sunshine outside, Changsun Jingrong stretched out his hands to cover it, and then seemed to think of something suddenly, turned to look at Bao'er, and ordered: "Bao'er, watch your master rest well, if I come next time If I find that the prince doesn't sleep well, then I'll take you as a question!"

Although the eldest grandson Jingrong's tone was a little fierce, but there was also deep concern, which made Bao'er feel comforted for Sima Xukong, so she nodded hurriedly and said, "Don't worry, princess, the little one will definitely take care of you." It’s from the prince. It’s just that the prince hopes to have breakfast with the princess, or you are waiting.”

"No, he still has so many things to be busy with. If I stay, it will only delay his progress." The time Changsun Jingrong spoke, he had already walked to the carriage, and boarded the carriage neatly.The moment the curtain was put down, Changsun Jingrong turned back to look at Bao'er, and urged again, "Don't forget what I told you!"

"Yes, yes!" He bowed and saluted the eldest grandson Jingrong again, and when Bao'er got up again, he could only see the shadow of the carriage leaving.

Slowly standing up straight, Bao'er said to herself with a smile: "The concubine actually cares about the lord, it seems that the lord is going to watch until the clouds open and the moon shines!"

On the carriage, Lei Qing'er kept secretly looking at the side face of the eldest grandson Jingrong, and when she was discovered by the eldest grandson Jingrong for the third time, under the stern gaze of the eldest grandson Jingrong, Lei Qinger said intermittently: "That, The slave has just overstepped the bounds."

"Why are you always staring at me secretly?"

Biting her lip, Lei Qing'er said: "Because this servant always feels that Miss is a little different from before."

Looking at himself, Changsun Jingrong felt a little inexplicable, and asked, "What's different? I haven't even changed a piece of clothes."

"This, the servant girl can't tell."

Caressing his own cheek, Changsun Jingrong thought of the peace of the night, and said, "Maybe I've rested well and my spirits are better."

"Maybe," Lei Qing'er nodded in agreement and said.

When mentioning this matter, Changsun Jingrong thought of something else and asked, "By the way, there are no extra tents in the barracks, so where did you rest?"

This made Lei Qing'er feel inexplicable, and said: "No way, the slaves are resting in the tent that He Nuo helped to pack up, that guy also said that he wants to recruit more recruits in a few days, and he has prepared a lot of tents .”

These words stunned Changsun Jingrong, and his face gradually turned black, he patted the cushion and said angrily: "You bastard, how dare you lie to me!"

Lei Qing'er didn't expect that her words would make her eldest grandson Jingrong fly into a rage, and she was a little at a loss at the moment, not knowing why her eldest grandson Jingrong was angry.

But after getting angry, Changsun Jingrong thought about it carefully, and felt that Sima Xukong didn't take advantage of him, but instead allowed him to rest well.Comparing like this, the anger in my heart gradually calmed down.But the forgiveness this time does not mean that he will easily bypass him next time. When we meet again, we must teach this man who dares to lie a lesson!

After nearly a month of confrontation, Xu Zizheng lost his temper at first, and planned to send a team to test Sima Xukong's strength.

Although this team has only 50 people, each of them has unique skills, and one is equal to ten.When attacking, spread out and attack the officers and soldiers defending the city at night.

After discovering the enemy army, the guard immediately blew the horn, which rang in the ancient capital, and the people who were anxious for a month finally smelled the smell of gunpowder.

Before Sima Xukong had time to rest, he put on his battle robe and boarded the tower with several generals and lieutenants, watching the enemy army appearing like a lone wolf in the night.Narrowing his eyes slightly, Sima Xu asked coldly, "Can you tell how many people are there?"

"I can't speculate at the moment, but I'm sure that the number of them is definitely a small pioneer team. They don't aim to win, but just want to test our reality."

"Exploring the truth? Hmph, let all the people who came here never return, I want to see who will go back and report to Xu Zizheng!" Sima Xukong looked arrogant, and his tone was full of confidence.

After hearing Sima Xukong's words, one of the lieutenants asked, "Does the lord want to use the crossbow now?"

"How can we use a sledgehammer to kill chickens? To deal with them, we only need a conventional method, sending out a vanguard, and killing them all!"

"However, the speed will be slower in this case, and we don't know how many people are on the other side. I'm afraid there will be casualties. It's better to use the crossbow to give the other party a shock!"

The color of the bottom of his eyes gradually darkened, and Sima Xukong said: "No, we must preserve our strength now, and we must not reveal our trump card easily. No one knows when the other reinforcements will arrive, and whether their arrival is to help or to counterattack. ?”

After hearing this, no one around made a sound, and felt a little more uneasy.

Sima Xukong's worries were not without reason.Originally, when the emperor passed away, the most active people were the people headed by the second prince, but now Xu Zizheng suddenly appeared to share the money with them, and I would not let him take advantage of it.However, if Sima Xukong lost his troops and withstood Xu Zizheng's attack, and if the other princes had evil intentions, how could an army that endured the devastation of war withstand successive challenges?Before finding out the opponent's intention, it is still necessary to preserve strength.

"Listen to my king's orders, the third vanguard team, and wait for orders!"

"Yes!"

The iron chain on the vulgar wrist was twitched with a "crash", the city gate was lowered, and a group of brave soldiers rushed out in the direction of Xu Jiabing.

Although there was a huge gap between the two sides, Xu Jiabing seemed to understand the terrain better, and when he saw something was wrong, he hid in the dark and ran for his life first.Long Ruibing, who had been chasing closely behind him, could only passively meet him, exhausting his physical strength.

Seeing that the situation was not conducive to Long Rui, Sima Xu adjusted the battle plan in a hurry, and informed the generals in front with whistles of different tones, letting him pretend to be injured and run towards the city gate.When those Xu family soldiers gathered at the gate of the city, they will be wiped out.

After receiving the order, Long Rui's officers and soldiers began to retreat, and Xu's soldiers did not dare to rush after them, they just scattered around in place and continued to blend into the darkness.

"It seems that Xu Jiabing is not fooled." Someone said with a little frustration when he saw this situation.

However, Sima Xukong was not discouraged. After the vanguard team returned to the city, after explaining a few words to him, he let the vanguard team go out of the city again to attack the Xu family army.

This time, the vanguard's attack was fast and fierce, without giving the opponent a chance to breathe, three or two people surrounded one person, killed him, and then continued to search for the next target.

In the night, a bloody atmosphere gradually filled the air. Seeing that the defeat was certain, Xu Jiajun turned around and retreated.

"well!"

The officers and soldiers in the capital rose in momentum and cheered constantly, and the vanguard who was encouraged also planned to chase the enemy bravely and wipe out all the enemies.

Sima Xukong, on the other hand, was quite calm, and ordered the messenger to call back the vanguard, and not to chase the enemy.

The generals and lieutenants standing on both sides were all in high spirits, and they were quite excited about this long-awaited victory.They communicate enthusiastically in twos and threes, as if they have already taken the first step towards success.
