Chapter 74: Whispers in the Hall
After a while, Xuanyuan Lingling's powerless sob gradually weakened. She suddenly woke up and felt her mistreatment. She hurriedly lowered her head and quietly wiped the tears between her cheeks.
Wen Decun coughed lightly and said calmly: "Master of the Kingdom, we are going to go back to the capital to report now. It is rare for you to come to Fenglang City. Why not go nearby and have a walk."
Xuanyuan Lingling looked up slightly, stroked his emotions, and said softly with some embarrassment: "Didn't the Grand Sima want to summon all the soldiers to discuss matters related to the return of the army?"
Wen Decun smiled slightly and said, "The matters related to the return of the army are enough to be held by Lao Jiu and General Zhenbei." After a pause, Wen Decun continued to slowly say, "For the past three years, Meng Zhize has been living here. Don't the Master of the Guardian Kingdom want to take a look?"
"I……"
Xuanyuan Lingling wanted to speak but stopped. Her unintentional rudeness made her feel uncomfortable at this moment. At this moment, she did want to avoid it, but when she suddenly heard the three words "Meng Zhize", she was shocked again. After all, the woman was shy and a little difficult to speak.
Wen Decun naturally saw Xuanyuan Lingling's thoughts, and he immediately said slowly: "As far as I know, although the Meng family army died for the country, Meng Zhize is very likely to have broken out of the siege..." Wen Decun was silent for a moment, then said word by word: "Maybe he is still alive."
"He is really alive?" Xuanyuan Lingling's eyes lit up, and a hint of joy flashed between her cheeks.
"Meng Zhize, a genius boy who killed Lingyuan and eliminated demons ten years ago... Now, our northwestern border guard Meng Zhize is really alive?" Ye Qianxun was a little excited when he spoke, and cried with joy, his tone was particularly heavy.
Wen Decun was silent. Seeing that both of them were looking at each other inquiring, he hesitated for a while, and then nodded gently.
"That's great. Brother Meng is a rare talent in my country of Cyan. He is very likely to break through the bottleneck in his thirties and become an absolutely powerful golden-level warrior." Ye Qianxun was so excited that he almost stepped on his feet. He smiled silly and said to himself.
Xuanyuan Lingling was very happy in his heart, but on the surface he looked calm and unsuspecting.
"The Protecting the Country..."
Wen Decun called the Master of the National Guarding Three times in a row. Xuanyuan Lingling heard Wen Dexian calling him. She hurriedly raised her head and responded. Then she asked with a puzzled look: "Does the Grand Sima Ke have you ordered?"
"Uh, I just want to ask, do you want to go out and have a walk?" Wen Decun said.
Xuanyuan Lingling nodded slightly, then lowered her head and said nothing, which was considered to be a reply to Wen Decun.
"Then you go back first!" Wen Decun coughed lightly and said.
"Thank you, Grand Sima." Xuanyuan Lingling bowed to Wen Decun, then turned around and retreated. As soon as he took a few steps, Wen Decun's voice came from behind: "At the latest morning, the Master of the Guardian will be back."
"Okay." Xuanyuan Lingling replied, walking quickly outside the hall.
Wen Decun looked at Xuanyuan Lingling's back as he gradually moved away, suddenly sighed bitterly, and then shouted loudly outside the door: "Can the soldiers outside the door be there?"
"exist."
Two soldiers wearing armor and long swords on their waists hurriedly walked into the hall from outside the door, bowed to Wen Decun with fists, and responded in unison.
Wen Decun looked at the two soldiers and said in a plain tone: "Go and order all the generals to come here to discuss matters."
"Yes." The two soldiers were ordered to retreat quickly.
Ye Qianxun guarded the northern border for 34 years. If the king had not summoned him, he would rarely leave the northern border. Therefore, he knew very little about the matter of the younger generation in the capital. He had never heard of the emotional entanglement between Xuanyuan Lingling and Meng Zhize.
Just now, Xuanyuan Lingling lost his composure for no reason, and he was always confused. Seeing that the two soldiers were far away, only him and Wen Decun were in the hall. Ye Qianxun thought for a moment, but he couldn't help but ask Wen Decun: "Why did the Master of the Guardian cry so much? I guess the Grand Sima Ding understood the reason, so he asked the Master of the Guardian to go out for a walk. Can the Grand Sima solve the problem?"
Wen Decun stroked his long beard, nodded, and said, "General Zhenbei has been stationed in the northern border for many years, and it is not surprising that he does not know the reason. This is the emotional entanglement between young people. Ten years ago, the nameless abyss in the east, which is now called "Slaying Abyss" to eliminate monsters, has been rumored that the leader among the younger generation of our country, Meng Zhize and Xuanyuan Lingling are talented and beautiful."
Wen Decun said here, coughed dryly, and signaled Ye Qianxun to close the hall door.
Ye Qianxun naturally understood what Wen Decun meant, hurried to the door, looked out, then closed the hall door, returned to his original position, and whispered to Wen Decun: "There is no one near you, the Master of the Guardian has gone far away."
Wen Decun nodded, signaled Ye Qianxun to get closer, and then deliberately lowered his voice: "The king and the high priest secretly made a lot of efforts to match this matter. The king even conferred Meng Zhize as the general manager of the capital's imperial guard, so that the two could meet each other day. Whenever the high priest was free, he would invite Xuanyuan Lingling to give her advice. Alas... However, the king and the high priest had no experience in this area. They were all talking about war on paper. Naturally, the more they helped, the more they became more and more chaotic, which eventually led to Meng Zhize escaping from the northwest border."
"Oh, so that's it. Alas! What a pity, what a pity..." Ye Qianxun whispered, sighed, and said the word "What a pity" several times.
"Yes, it's a pity. Meng Zhize and Xuanyuan Lingling, a genius earth warrior and a genius magician, if they can really achieve the right result, it will be a great blessing for the Cyan Kingdom." Wen Decun also felt regretful and sighed.
...
In an instant, the two veterans who had always been respected in the army were like two women, and they sighed in a word.
“Well…”
Seeing that Ye Qianxun was about to say something else, Wen Decun suddenly made a ban gesture and said, "Someone is coming."
Ye Qianxun was shocked and hurriedly retreated to his original position. His seat was slapped by his palm, so he had to stand there honestly. After listening carefully, there was indeed a sound of footsteps coming from far to near.
After a moment, a gentle knock came from outside the door.
Wen Decun winked at Ye Qianxun. Ye Qianxun nodded and walked towards the hall door. When he opened the hall door, he saw more than a dozen generals divided into two rows, with men and women waiting outside the hall door.
"The Grand Sima has the order, all the generals will enter the hall to discuss matters." Ye Qianxun glanced at everyone and then took the lead in walking towards the inside of the hall.
The generals followed Ye Qianxun, and their steps were neatly divided into two rows, and walked into the hall.
"See Grand Sima, protecting the country... General Zhenbei."
The generals stood in the hall and took the lead in saluting Wen Decun. They were about to salute to the Master of the Guardian Kingdom. As soon as they shouted out the word "Guardian Kingdom", everyone could not find Xuanyuan Lingling in the hall. They looked at me one by one, and I looked at you, all with a look of surprise. After a moment, everyone simply jumped over the Master of the Guardian Kingdom and saluted Ye Qianxun one by one.
Wen Decun looked at everyone's puzzled look and raised his voice, "Master of the Guru Kingdom has something to do and leave for a while, generals, don't make a fuss."
"Affect the order."
Everyone answered in unison.
"I just discussed with the Guru Master and General Zhenbei for a while. This time, the king personally ordered the Yi Army and the Third Army to form a Northwest Army. He wanted our Northwest Army to teach the invading enemy lessons, but how could he know that the Dahu enemy retreated first, and it would be a blessing for us to win without fighting. After all, if our Northwest Army really meets the enemy, although we are sure to win, it will inevitably lead to casualties from our Northwest Army soldiers. Now God pity all living beings, let us retreat to the enemy with zero losses, which is considered to have completed the task." After saying this, Wen Decun coughed dryly, picked up the teacup on the side of his side, and drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat.
Wen Decun cleared his throat and smiled at everyone, "I just discussed things and talked a lot, and I'm a little dry. You guys laughed."
In an instant, there was a commotion in the hall, and the generals whispered to each other and whispered, all smiling.
"Thank you for your hard work in Grand Sima." A general standing behind Ye Qianxun clasped his fists.
Wen Decun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I haven't even fought a battle, how can I start with the word "hard work"?"
The general looked ashamed and lowered his head and said, "What the Grand Sima said is very true."
"The Grand Sima is going to speak." Ye Qianxun suddenly showed his hands on the platform, indicating that everyone was quiet.
The generals in the hall were silent in an instant, standing straight and waiting quietly for Wen Decun to speak.
Wen Decun stared at everyone and continued, "Since the enemy in Dalu has retreated, we will go back to the court to report. The border defense affairs of the northern border are heavy, so General Zhenbei also needs to rush back to the northern border to take over. The Meng family army, which was originally guarding Fenglang City in the northwest border, has sacrificed its life for the country, and Guiyi's army has been under the control of Lao Jiu. Lao Jiu was quiet for a few days and wanted to transfer a team from Guiyi's army to take over the city defense affairs of Fenglang City. Who among the generals is willing to take over this team?"
