Knight of the Blue Lagoon (The Past of Tao v)

8. Your Majesty

, the horse is as fast as a horse, and the bow is like a thunderbolt.

~

On the battlefield, it was already late autumn, the cold wind was blowing, and the feeling of coolness was still there, the war songs were ringing, and the blood was boiling.

The general in blue is looking at a map in the tent. He likes to look at maps. There is hometown on the map. Although the number of people in this rebellion is small, they are quite cunning. They have been fighting for a long time, but they have never been able to confront them head-on. They have been looking for their entrenched position for the past few days. Once they find it, they can catch them all.

Li Lai suddenly said:"I heard that this knight's meeting is to recruit princesses, and all the officers and soldiers of the left and right vassals can participate."

Suo Suo immediately asked:"Which princess?"

"It’s Princess Baiyun whom I met at Qujiang Market last time."Li Lai.

Suosuo's heart skipped a beat at first, and he stared at Lan Yi intently, with a slightly nervous look on his face:"Do we also have to go back to participate? Lan

Yi's eyes did not leave the map:"The mission of the soldiers is to win the war, not to participate in recruiting brides." Li

Lai seemed to be complaining:"They are busy in Xidu, but we are fighting on the battlefield. Isn't it fair?""

"There is nothing unfair, everyone has to do it. It is actually a good thing to stay away from the place of right and wrong. The battlefield has the purity of the battlefield." Lan Yi has always been very calm about the Knights Conference in Xidu. What he is most concerned about right now is where these traitors are hiding.

Suosuo smiled knowingly:"That's right, we are warriors, and warriors should be on the battlefield, Xidu. How complicated."

Li Lai looked at his sister. She usually wanted to run to Xidu when the defense was deployed, but today's reaction was a little abnormal.

Suosuo noticed his brother's expression:"There are too many overt and covert fights in Xidu, isn't there?"

"Compared to the struggle in the Western Capital, the relationship on the battlefield is simpler, and it is indeed a good thing to be able to stay away." Li Lai sighed.

Li Lai remembered that when he and his sister were living on the streets of Xidu, one time his sister was molested by a group of young masters from Dongfu Country in Xilu Country. He was beaten to the head and bleeding, and lay on the ground. They couldn't move on the ground. It happened that Lan Yi changed his defense and returned to the Western Capital, so he ordered Chenggang to severely repair those wealthy young men, break their legs, and let them go back lying down. Because Lan Yi was a soldier of the Zuo Fan, and Those people were not from the Xilu Kingdom, so the matter could only be settled. However, it still offended some connected forces in the DPRK and brought a lot of trouble to Lan Yi.

"Fighting is everywhere, who can really escape! If there is no unnecessary fight, just give in if you can bear it, and avoid it if you can. Sometimes you may not be able to give in even if you want to, and there is nowhere to avoid it if you want to." Lan Yi turned around and said seriously.

"Yes, the struggle between North Korea and China has always been cruel."Li Lai

"What do you think of this Knights Conference?"Lan Yi turned around and asked Li Lai. Li

Lai thought for a while, but before he had time to express his thoughts, the Crown Prince burst into the account excitedly and said excitedly:

"General, General, they have found their entrenched position. After fighting for so long, the enemy troops are exhausted and have retreated to the river. Tonight I will lead a dark attack and kill them all. I also just received a letter from my father, saying that General Transcendence will participate in this Knights Conference. Let us quickly meet with the Western Capital to indicate that the General will also participate. The General will make good adjustments in the account tonight and wait for my good news. Let them know how powerful this prince is."

There is a tradition in the Xilu Kingdom that all the descendants of the royal family have to train in the army for a period of time. The prince once served in the young prince's left army, and the third prince fought in the old prince's right army. Other royal families only need to be in good health. Many people will go to the Xilu Army to gain experience. On the one hand, they can get to know the Xilu Army, and on the other hand, they can establish relationships with the military generals and plan for the future. Because of this, the Zuo Fan Army supports the prince, and the third prince has a certain influence in the You Fan Army. Influence.

As the beloved son of the young prince, he is indispensable to be taken care of by all parties in the Zuo Fan Army. The old general arranged for him to be in the blue-clothed general's account. It is self-evident that he is to let the prince fight more victorious battles with Duoneng. Establish prestige in the army so that they can succeed the young prince in charge of the Zuo Fan Army in the future.

The prince's intrusion disrupted their thinking. Although the rebellion was put down in the name of the prince, everyone knew that the prince's safety was the most important. Several times in the past, they used the name of the Crown Prince, but they always rushed ahead, cleared the obstacles, and then allowed the Crown Prince to symbolically win. Over time, the Crown Prince felt that he was being overprotected, and this time it was difficult to find the traitor. He decided to lead his troops there alone, eager to prove his strength.

"Your Majesty, although we have found their den, these rebels are very cunning and it is too dangerous to attack at night."Li Lai

"I know you are worried about my safety. When my father asked me to join the army, he also wanted me to perform meritorious service based on my true abilities. There is no risk in fighting. How can a soldier be greedy for life and afraid of death?"Seeing that General Lan didn't say anything, the prince explained

"Your Majesty, they have been dealing with us for so long, so don't act impulsively."Li Lai

"A few thieves are already at the end of their rope, how can they still make a huge difference? Don't worry too much."The prince is full of confidence

"Your Majesty, remember not to act too hastily. I think Zhou Xiang should plan his attack before attacking. Besides, the army also needs time to prepare."Li Lai

"I'm going to make a sneak attack tonight. I don't need too many troops. Those people are usually enough. You also say that they are cunning and have long nights and many dreams, lest they run away tomorrow, and tonight when the fire is blazing, they will truly realize the power of our Zuo Fan army. Tomorrow we will set off back to the Western Capital with the good news."The prince said firmly.

"Your Majesty, war is not a child's play."Lan Yi

"That's it, they are already grasshoppers after autumn, unable to do anything."The Crown Prince

"Your Majesty, don’t take it lightly, just in case……"soso

"I have been in the army for many days, and I know in my heart that if something goes wrong, you can rest assured that you will not be implicated. I will make a document that this time my son will decide to attack, and I will bear all the consequences."The Crown Prince

"this……"I always look at Lan Yi and don’t know what to do

"Don't worry, I'll write another letter to my father to explain the situation."The prince is very insistent. He understands that Lan Yi and the others are also thinking about him. His father's letter mentioned that the morale of the Youfan army is very high. The prince wants to increase the morale of the Zuofan army through this victory.

"Your Majesty, I will immediately go explore the terrain again."Li Lai

"I am already very familiar with this area, so you can rest assured in your camp and prepare for the return journey. This battle will definitely boost the military might of our Zuo Fan Army."After saying that, the Crown Prince went to prepare.

Suosuo looked at Lan Yi and said helplessly:"The Crown Prince is so stubborn, what should I do?"

"Go and find out if the Crown Prince's news is accurate. We will follow you tonight. You go and prepare."Lan Yi.

Before paying the bill, Suosuo complained:"These royal relatives came to the battlefield just to cause trouble."

"Don't talk nonsense. The prince has always worked hard and abided by the rules of the army. He has never acted recklessly because he is the prince. He is just eager to prove himself."Li Lai was also helpless.

After walking a few steps, Suosuo turned around and asked again:"Brother, will the general really go to that knights conference?"

"I don't know, but the general has never been interested in knights' conventions."Li Lai

"If we were to participate, do you think the general would win compared with Chao Chao?"Sosuo

"He is the number one general in Blue Lake, and his martial arts skills are naturally high."Li Lai

"I heard that he is very cruel. What will happen if the general is injured? Let's stop the general from participating."Sosuo

"This is an order from the little prince, how can we stop it."Li Lai

"Then we can’t just ignore it?"Suosuo is very worried.

"The general also has things he can't help himself with. Don't worry, sister, General Jiren has his own destiny."Li Lai.

Suosuo became worried.

This night, it was pitch dark, the stars were hiding in the darkness, the fire on the horse's back was looming, countless figures were swaying around, the fire was shouting in the wind, and it was impossible to tell whether it was the enemy or the Hokage. The prince's army has set off, and Lan Yi and the others quietly follow behind.

"There are rebels ahead."The prince shouted and rushed forward.

"Prince, be careful."The people around me shouted.

It was a small group of people, and they started fighting immediately. Li Laisuo and Lan Yi arrived. They didn't see the prince, but only heard the sound of fighting in the distance. They felt something was not good, so they rushed forward immediately. At this time, random arrows were shot out from nowhere. In the darkness, Li Lai's arm and back were hit by arrows, and Suosuo's horse was also hit by several arrows. Unexpectedly, these rebels were prepared. Although the soldiers suffered some injuries, they were not serious. He had no intention of staying at this time and continued to move forward without stopping. Fighting was already secondary, finding the crown prince was the key.

Like a storm, the rebels were quickly wiped out and the original calm was restored, even worse than before the war. Be quiet, the road is dark and far away, and even the wind is deliberately avoided. The soldiers stand in the dark night, and this long night may be difficult to end. At this time, there is a sound, which is the cry of a horse. They When they came looking for the sound, they saw the prince lying in a trap, being pressed by a horse. He was dying. A sharp wooden stake had pierced his body. He was covered in blood. He didn't know how much of it was the horse's blood.

Chenggang jumped. He went down and tried to help the prince up, but Lan Yi stopped him:"As soon as the wooden stake is moved, the horse will move. Once the wooden stake is pulled out, the prince will die." Chenggang drew out his sword. Although he couldn't bear it, he could only end the horse's life with one sword. He muttered:"I would rather kill ten thousand people than one war horse."

Then the soldiers carefully dug out the wooden stakes, and the prince said with difficulty:"General, you are right, the battlefield is not a child's play, it is life and death. I have hurt everyone.""

"Prince, stop talking."Lan Yi took the prince's hand.

After digging out the wooden stakes, he prepared to take the prince back to the camp together with the wooden stakes. The first few steps were bumpy and the prince was in pain. The soldiers had to stop first and then try to move forward slowly. Okay, before they had gone very far, the prince asked the soldiers to stop and took out a letter from his body with difficulty:"I know I can't survive. Please pass this letter to my father."……"

The Crown Prince died before he finished speaking, and everyone fell into silence. Death on the battlefield was a destiny for the battlefield, but this fate definitely belonged to the Crown Prince.

After a long time, Suosuo asked:"General, what should we do now?"

"How to explain to the little prince! Chenggang lamented that the soldiers could no longer take care of the pain on their bodies.

"The prince is magnanimous and hard-working, but being born into a prince's family limits his talents."Li Lai sighed.
