Chapter 38 Cold
For example, at the south gate of Dongling Tomb, thousands of Yun and Qin soldiers passed through the city gate tower one after another.
Most of them were supporting each other and had injuries on their bodies. Some of them were so serious that they were being carried on stretchers and could not even stand upright.
Even the most elite Yunqin soldiers are still humans, not machines, so the military department has its own considerations and will rotate some of the exhausted soldiers on the front lines to the rear to rest.
This group of wounded people were all removed from the front line of Nanling Province. Just looking at the damage of their black armor, you can already imagine what kind of cruel battles they went through. For these people who defended the dignity and dignity of Yunqin with their lives
The soldiers in the territory and the people of Yunqin naturally have the highest respect.
Therefore, even though his own life has become embarrassing due to the war, there are still countless people in the mausoleum city to welcome him. From time to time, some people stuff into the hands of these wounded soldiers some food that they would normally be reluctant to eat.
Naturally, there were also people from the military who welcomed these warriors returning from the front line.
Many generals and sergeants lined up solemnly, paying military salutes to these warriors who came from the blood and fire.
The eyes of the thousands of Yunqin soldiers who had withdrawn from the front line to rest were originally filled with excitement and emotion. However, when they saw the official uniforms of several officers in the queue, the eyes of many of these wounded became angry and cold.
, many people spit on the ground fiercely when they passed in front of these officials.
The faces of these officials from the military headquarters turned white.
They lowered their heads, their bodies trembling slightly with anger and humiliation.
They understood why these soldiers who had returned from the front line acted like this, but they could not be angry because of these soldiers. They could only be angry and humiliated because of themselves. A few days ago, an official in their central office had already
He committed suicide out of fear of guilt, but not to mention that others didn't believe it, even the officials in their own central office didn't believe it. The official who committed suicide out of fear of guilt betrayed that team for no special reason.
However, no matter what, until the truth is completely revealed, their center must bear this shameful name. All of them, even if they risk their own lives, want to kill the mastermind behind the scenes, but now they can only bear this
humiliation and anger.
…
As the first snow fell in the south, there were fewer and fewer battles in Nanling Province, and both the Yunqin and Damang armies also ushered in their own breathing time.
However, as some problems arose in the military, and as a Qingluan student died in battle, an increasingly heavy shadow fell over the hearts of all the high-ranking generals of the Yunqin military.
"Are you sure there is nothing wrong with this message?"
In Zhongzhou City, Feng Qianhan, the deputy chief of the Zhengwu Division, took a deep breath to calm down completely. Even though he knew that there could be no problems with the information passed to him, he still couldn't help but move towards Standing
The official in front of him asked this question.
The gray-haired official from the Military Intelligence Department of Zhengwu Division in front of him swallowed hard, looked at him, and nodded, but his voice was still dry: "No problem."
In front of Feng Qianhan is the charcoal brazier.
He threw all the secret reports into the charcoal brazier and burned them. The charcoal brazier burned brighter, but Feng Qianhan's hands became even colder.
"So judging from the current intelligence, he is heading towards Zhongzhou City?"
"What does he want to do when he comes to Zhongzhou City?"
Even though he told himself to calm down completely, the mountain of pressure still made Feng Qianhan lose his temper and utter these two sentences in succession.
The gray-haired senior official of Zhengwu Division shook his head with difficulty.
Of course he couldn't know what Lin Xi was thinking, and he certainly couldn't know the answer to such a question.
Except for the people at Qingluan Academy, no one knew that Lin Xi had decided to send his parents and sister to Tang Zang when the dispute between the emperor and Wen Xuanshu ended. Tang Zang was the safest place for Lin Xi’s family.
At the same time, it was equivalent to a promise to Tang Zang, and Lin Xi didn't know when the emperor would suddenly make a move, so he was in a hurry to hold a happy event and send his family away.
But precisely because it was impossible to know what Lin Xi was thinking, the Yunqin military and many powerful people believed that Lin Xi suddenly sent away all his family members after the accident in that team, and the Yunqin military has not been able to find out Lin Xi so far.
Where did he send his family... Lin Xi's decision, which had actually been made before, now seemed particularly terrifying in the eyes of the Yunqin military and some senior officials in the court.
What makes many people feel even more frightened and worried now is that no one knows where Lin Xi sent his family, but Lin Xi's own whereabouts are not kept secret.
And judging from all the current signs, the carriage Lin Xi was riding in was heading towards Zhongzhou City in a leisurely manner.
After the team that retreated from the front line had an accident on the south bank of Falling Star Lake, and Lin Xi's friend from Qingluan Academy died in the battle, the eyes of all the real dignitaries and real big shots in the world were always firmly focused on Lin Xi.
on the body.
At this moment, not only Feng Qianhan, but also many people knew that a carriage was carrying Lin Xi, heading towards Zhongzhou City in a hurry. In the days since Lin Xi left Yanlai Town, all Lin Xi's behaviors were extremely...
However, this kind of calmness, as if nothing had happened, made the big shots in the Yunqin Empire even more frightened.
…
"Send all your family members away and come to Zhongzhou City. What are you going to do?"
Di Choufei, who was wearing casual clothes, stood in the stable, washing two old horses, and smiled sarcastically at the counselor who reported to him: "Do you still dare to come and kill me or the Holy Emperor?"
The first counselor under him, Xu Ziqing, did not look relaxed. He was thinking coldly and nervously that this was not impossible.
"If he were elsewhere, he might still have such courage, but this is in Zhongzhou City. Does he want to drag many people from Qingluan College to die in this city?" Di Choufei could tell that his advisers
He shook his head and said calmly and confidently: "He is not the kind of person who has the heart to drag many people to die together. Wenren Cangyue also let his friends die in Biluoling, but now, Wenren Cangyue
Isn’t Yue still alive and well?”
"What's more, it's impossible for him to find any clues from those dead people. There is no evidence at all to show that Li Kaiyun's death has anything to do with me. Except for the Holy Emperor's decree that I marry the daughter of the Leng family, he doesn't have much to doubt me.
Even if there is suspicion, he will not have any evidence. Without any evidence, how can a person like him still go on a killing spree in Zhongzhou City like those practitioners of the Jiang family?"
Di Choufei looked at the still heavy face of his confidant with a slight irony, and added: "Don't forget that the laws of Yunqin are all set by Qingluan College and the late emperor. If Lin Xi ignores the laws of Yunqin, it will be quite serious.
When he overthrows Qingluan Academy, how will he be different from the Jiang family figures and the criminals wanted by the court? Of course, if you are still not at ease, you can naturally make some preparations and treat him as if he has
There may be an assassination attempt on me, so prepare."
Hearing Di Choufei's words, Xu Ziqing's heavy face softened slightly, and he nodded: "I will try my best to be prepared."
Di Choufei put down the bucket, brushed the horse's back with a dry brush, and said slowly: "But I don't understand, since he is coming to Zhongzhou City... Qingluan Academy has a sacred tree called Feihe, why doesn't he just ride on the sacred tree?
Feihe came over, why did he have to spend an extra half month on the road? What did he secretly do during this period, who did he come into contact with, and where did Jiang Xiaoyi and the others go? I am very interested.
I want to know, this is what scares me the most."
"His whereabouts are not secret." Xu Ziqing said solemnly: "I will have people investigate more carefully."
…
When a carriage carrying Lin Xi was slowly traveling on the official road of Yunqin, walking in the winter of Yunqin.
Jiang Xiaoyi, Bian Linghan, Qin Xiyue, and Hua Jiyue were sitting on the back of a sacred tree flying crane, flying in the extremely cold sky.
The four of them were silent.
Even though the news had been coming for many days and had been confirmed repeatedly, the four of them still couldn't believe that the passionate bumpkin classmate had left them forever and would never be seen again in the future.
"He has always been the guy Lin Xi was most worried about." Jiang Xiaoyi controlled the sacred tree Feihe, suddenly slowed down, and made a sound in the cold air.
Bian Linghan, Qin Xiyue, and Hua Jiyue looked at his frost-covered back, wondering what Jiang Xiaoyi meant by saying this at this time.
Because everyone's emotions were difficult to accept, they had avoided mentioning Li Kaiyun's name among themselves these days, and they had not even had a conversation about Li Kaiyun and Lin Xi.
"Lin Xi knew him earlier than all of us. He met Li Kaiyun and Meng Bai on the first day he arrived at Lingxia Lake to participate in the Qingluan Examination." Jiang Xiaoyi's voice rang out again.
: "I still clearly remember the way he helped Kaiyun Li make plans."
"In his heart, I'm afraid Li Kaiyun is not only a good friend, but he also treats him as his younger brother."
"I'm always worried that he will do something crazy after receiving this news. But he is exactly the same as usual. He is doing what he should do, as if he has not heard the news at all." Jiang Xiaoyi replied
Turning around, he looked at the three people whose clothes were also covered with hoarfrost: "Lin Xi is too calm... He has always been a very calm person before. When I was with him in the past, I couldn't help but think, such a calm person
What will happen if a person goes crazy? Now I have seen... when he goes crazy, he becomes completely cold and calm."
"He has gone crazy." Jiang Xiaoyi looked at Bian Linghan and others, nodded slowly and hard, and said softly but firmly, "He can do anything."
