Raising Wolves - v2 Chapter 94
Lu Qing felt a lot more at ease because he figured out Ning Juan’s plan. After he slept that night, he no longer had bizarre dreams, and slept steadily all night.
The next day, before dawn, the drills had already started in the barracks, and Lu Qing woke up without Xiao Jin calling.
Before Ning Juan came back, Lu Qing needed to shock Ning Jing and the entire camp. Now that he had the power over the camp, he naturally had to inspect it.
Before patrolling, it is necessary to discuss with the two generals again.
Lu Qing washed his face, hurriedly used some soft food specially prepared by Xiao Jin, put on the soft armor sent by Xiao Jin, and went to the main tent to discuss the scope of today’s patrol with the two generals. .
As soon as the scope was roughly delineated, Ning Jing came.
The three of them tacitly closed, and General Tao on the left took advantage of the situation to put away the camp’s defense map.
Ning Jing felt unhappy in her heart.
When he was a prince, he was not favored because of his status as a mother and concubine. He was the most marginal one among princes. When he was a prince, he still had no sense of existence and was sent to a remote rural area.
Naturally, he was unwilling, taking every step of the way, waiting for the opportunity to make a move.
Back then, when the eunuchs messed up the government, Ning Jing hesitated for a while, and Wei Herong took the opportunity away. Losing his reputation on the side of Qingjun, it was not easy to take action. Now, he finally waited for the opportunity again. .
He wants to let all those who once looked down on him watch him ascend to the throne aboveboard.
As a result, the obstacle of Lu Qingze jumped out again.
Seeing that Lu Qingze’s face seemed to be better than last night, Ning Jing raised her eyebrows and asked deliberately, “Looking at His Highness, could it be that His Majesty’s situation is better?”
Judging from the current situation, Ning Juan’s life and death are uncertain, and there is a high possibility that he is already dead.
When these words fall into my ears, they are naturally harsh.
However, Lu Qing had already guessed Ning Juan’s situation, so he didn’t have much trouble in his heart, but after a short pause, in a second, the corners of his brows and eyes became a little more gloomy, and his tone was light: “It’s better. already.”
Ning Jing knew very well that the tent guarded by Jin Yiwei must be empty.
Zheng Yao’s loyal and vicious dog still leads people outside, searching for traces of the little emperor everywhere without giving up.
But it has been so long, I am afraid that even if I find it, it will be too rotten.
Ning Jing glanced at the emotions that Lu Qingze tried to hide, and taunted the corner of his mouth.
I was almost deceived by Lu Qing last night.
If he hadn’t had some thoughts on Ning Wan, why would Lu Qing have to come all the way? With the power and the tiger talisman in his hands, let alone being a regent, he just kicked the little prince in Beijing and took the throne himself, and no one could stop him.
It is disgusting that they are clearly teachers and students, but they can still have these thoughts.
Ning Jing felt a faint contempt in his heart.
Since Lu Qing also felt tired in his heart, it was much easier to deal with than a simple, stubborn, ignorant and loyal minister.
After all, the former is blinded by those worldly loves.
Besides, Lu Qing is a civil servant. What do you know about marching and fighting?
Lu Qing walked out of the main tent as if he didn’t see a few traces of fierce light that Ning Jing unintentionally revealed.
Xiao Jin just happened to bring the horse, and he didn’t need anyone else to help him. He grabbed the reins of the horse, jumped lightly, fell onto the horse’s back like a cloud, and nodded slightly towards Ning Jing: “It’s dangerous outside, the lord is in the camp. Zhonghaosheng stay here and take the first step.”
This remark is more like a warning than thoughtfulness.
Ning Jing’s brows twitched.
Yeah, he almost forgot.
Even Lu Qing doesn’t know how to fight, but now he is in power, and his people are ten miles away, with only a few confidants by his side.
Lu Qing was afraid of the 20,000 private soldiers and did not dare to touch him, but in the same way, Lu Qing was an empress with a special status, and he had the emperor’s secret decree and tiger talisman in his body, so he didn’t have to be afraid of his royal status.
So he is also equivalent to being trapped in this camp.
Ning Jing’s eyes were heavy, staring at the back of Lu Qing who was riding away in support, and then slowly glanced at the direction of the rebel camp, thinking about it.
Lu Qing said that on purpose.
After patrolling the camp, the team left the main camp, and Xiao Jin followed by the side, and said in a low voice: “Master Lu, after you arrived, King Jing seems to be a little bit restless, in case he colluded and betrayed. military…”
Lu Qing smiled slightly: “It’s okay, you all stare at him as usual, don’t be too tight, and don’t be too loose.”
His demeanor was calm and smooth, and listening to his voice, his emotions could be soothed a lot.
The anxiety in Xiao Jin’s heart was relieved a lot, and he nodded silently. Seeing that Lu Qing was not in a hurry, he took a breath.
Lord Lu has a deep relationship with His Majesty, but he can still maintain his composure in this situation, and he can’t mess up.
The rebels had only raided once the day before yesterday, but today it was relatively peaceful, and there were no accidents on the way.
While patrolling the surroundings, Lu Qing communicated with Xiao Jin about the situation on the side of the rebels.
Ning Sheng had been dormant for many years, and he was able to pretend to be a weak and incompetent person without anyone finding out the slightest clue. His personality was obviously very cautious.
Shuzhong is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as he hides in it and cannot come out, it will be extremely difficult for the Daqi army to take down Shuzhong, and the price to be spent will be enormous.
Therefore, even if the news of His Majesty’s unforeseen encounter came out from the Daqi military camp, the emperor himself had not appeared for more than ten days, and Ning Sheng was still testing it and did not dare to send troops immediately.
He was worried that this was Ning Juan’s tactic to lure snakes out of their holes.
Ning Sheng’s excessive caution was also a problem.
But with Ning Jing’s help, this trouble will be resolved soon.
Lu Qing held the reins on his horse and thought casually that after the Qianyuan Festival, he secretly sent a message to Shuzhong, informing Ning Sheng that the king of Shu should be Ning Jing.
Ning Cong gritted his teeth and went to Beijing for the safety of his only surviving, beloved son, but he didn’t expect his son to rebel when he heard the news that he had been arrested into the ancestral mansion.
In the name of saving his father, he did not care about his father’s safety.
It’s quite a fatherly kindness.
Lu Qing pondered the news about Ning Sheng he had found out, and suddenly noticed something strange.
Ning Cong lingered on the flowers so much, no matter what, he shouldn’t have such a thin child.
And no matter what, he is also a rich and noble prince. Even in this age of underdeveloped technology, the probability of raising children is much higher than ordinary people. The children born after hard work will be carefully cared for, but they are still one after another. All dead, no matter how you think about it.
In fact, he thought it was strange before, but it was a matter of Ning Cong’s back house, and Ning Juan didn’t want him to think of Ning Cong more, so he didn’t bother to think about anything.
Now, it seems that with Ning Sheng’s ruthless demeanor… Couldn’t it be his secret hand?
This thought flashed through Lu Qingze’s mind, and he didn’t stop there any longer.
It was just a hint of possibility deduced from Ning Sheng’s behavior, without any basis.
After patrolling around the camp, Lu Qing went to the wounded barracks at the rear.
In addition to a stockade in Guizhou, the wounded barracks, in addition to the soldiers who were wounded on the battlefield, many were also injured by the mudslide.
Fortunately, the hottest time in the south has passed, and Xu Shu is sitting in town again, and no disease has spread.
During the march, the conditions of the wounded barracks were not very good, they were very crude.
Many of the wounded soldiers had broken arms and legs, many of them tossing and turning in pain and couldn’t sleep. Even if they fell asleep, they would cry in low pain. At first glance, it was like purgatory on earth.
The **** smell and the strong smell of medicine floated faintly on the tip of the nose.
However, in addition to the military doctors, there are even some civilians who are helping to take care of the wounded soldiers.
The people in Qianzhong were disturbed by the war, the imperial army repelled the rebels, and Ning Juan ordered them not to interfere with the people. The local people had a good impression of the imperial army and sent many things.
Xiao Jin and others have long been accustomed to this scene, only worried that Lu Qing will be uncomfortable, and kept peeking at his condition.
Lu Qingze’s face was still calm, not frightened by those **** scenes, he dismounted and followed Xiao Jin through the entire wounded barracks, and then looked behind him.
Behind the camp of the Daqi army, among the vast mountains and forests, there are small villages one after another in Guizhou.
The war has not yet spread to the past, and everything seems to be peaceful.
But as long as the scourge of the rebels is not eliminated, these people will be shrouded in the shadow of war for one more day.
Ning Wan used the natural disaster to hide from the trail, and stood behind to lure Ning Sheng out. He also wanted to capture Ning Sheng as soon as possible, end the war, and restore peace to the southwest.
This is the case with Guoguo from his family. He is never soft-hearted towards his enemies, he treats his subjects with dignity and indifference, but he still treats the people with a benevolent heart.
Xiao Jin asked questions from the front, turned around and ran back and said: “Master Lu, Doctor Xu heard that you are here and rushed to the camp, just missed us, you have seen the left and right wounded barracks, why don’t you now? Back to camp?”
Lu Qing regained his senses, thought for a moment, shook his head and whispered, “I want to go to the place where His Majesty disappeared.”
Xiao Jin’s heart is sour.
From arriving at the camp yesterday to now, Lord Lu has not mentioned anything about His Majesty.
Compared with them, Master Lu should be more sad and tormented.
He nodded, led Lu Qingze out of the wounded barracks, mounted the horse again, and led Lu Qingze over.
It’s not too far from here, and there are still Daqi soldiers who are still searching and digging, so it’s not dangerous.
The speed of riding is fast, and the time for half a stick of incense is here. The traces of the debris flow are obvious. A large area of nearby trees has been dumped. Rolling stones and silt are piled up everywhere. At a glance, you can imagine the thrilling day.
Fortunately, there has been no heavy rain in the past few days. After the drizzle yesterday, it was clear today.
According to the people in the camp who can deduce astronomical phenomena, it should not rain any more recently.
He rode his horse around the disaster-stricken area for a half-circle and met Jin Yiwei who was digging. It happened that a corpse was dug out of it, which was covered with mud and could not be seen clearly.
Even if they didn’t know Lu Qingze, several people knew Xiao Jin. Seeing that Lu Qingze was at the head, they quickly put down the body and bowed: “I’ve seen your lord.”
Lu Qing glanced at the corpse, closed his eyes and exhaled softly. When he opened his eyes again, he looked away and asked, “You are the only ones nearby? Where is Commander Zheng?”
“Master Hui, it is not only us here, but also the private soldiers of His Royal Highness King Jing, who are also searching for His Majesty.” Several Jin Yiwei glanced at each other and replied, with some hesitation about whether to respond to the second question.
Xiao Jin nodded and said, “Go and send a letter and say that it is Lord Lu who is here.”
One of the Tsing Yi Jin Yi Wei responded, got into the woods, wiped his hands, put it into his mouth not too dirty, and whistled, crisp and tactful, the sound was very like a bird in the woods.
It didn’t take long for the sound of the eagle to respond from the other side of the woods.
Jin Yiwei, who went to deliver the letter, came over and bowed: “Master Lu, please wait a moment.”
Lu Qing nodded, and while waiting, his eyes fell on the corpse on the ground again, and he couldn’t help but tighten the reins.
Even though he guessed that Ning Juan should be fine, his heart speeded up a little, cold sweat soaked his back silently, and he was clammy and cold when blown by the cold wind in the mountains.
This kind of terrifying natural disaster, no matter whether you are an ordinary person or a phoenix, if you don’t pay attention, your life will be involved.
He couldn’t imagine if the person lying there was Ning tired, could he still be able to maintain the current silence.
After a while, the sound of Rulei’s hooves came from far to near. Zheng Yao rode a fast horse and rushed over. Seeing Lu Qingze, who was riding a horse in the crowd and was out of tune with the surrounding environment like a piece of snow, he immediately gasped. With a cold breath, he blurted out: “Ancestor, why are you really here?”
There might still be King Jing’s eyeliner or someone from Ning Sheng staring at him, and it was impossible for Ning Juan to show up and follow him.
Lu Qing couldn’t be more clear in his heart, but when he saw that Zheng Yao was the only one who came, he couldn’t help but feel a little lost, he lowered his long eyelashes, and said in a low voice, “Your Majesty is missing, and King Jing has come to the southwest again, since Your Majesty is relieved Entrust the power to me, and I must come.”
Zheng Yao didn’t know that Lu Qing had already guessed the situation, so he scratched his head immediately.
When he sent a letter to the capital, he did not know that His Majesty was all right. Later, for the sake of confidentiality, it was not easy to continue sending letters to the capital to explain the situation.
He really wanted to make it clear to Lu Qingze, but the current situation was not easy to explain.
Lu Qing turned over and got off the horse, as if his feet were unstable, his thin body swayed.
He was already very thin, and when he rode on a horse and walked on the road, people worried that he would be blown down by the wind.
Zheng Yao didn’t even think about it, and quickly reached out to support him: “Lord Lu, be careful.”
Lu Qing secretly stuffed something into his hand.
It looks very similar to the touch… tiger talisman.
Zheng Yao was startled, but he didn’t show the slightest expression on his face, and quickly hid the thing in his sleeve.
Lu Qing also used his strength to stand firm, his face was bloodless, and his eyes seemed to be slightly red: “If Commander Zheng finds His Majesty, please let me know as soon as possible no matter what.”
Does he know?
This thought popped into Zheng Yao’s heart, and he was slightly surprised. He retracted his hand and hid things in his sleeves. He used the comforting words that everyone would use: “Don’t worry, Your Majesty is lucky, there will be no accident.”
Lu Qing reluctantly pulled the corners of his pale lips, looked at the corpse on the ground again, and sighed silently: “I’m sorry Commander Zheng, I’ll go back to the camp first.”
Zheng Yao lowered his head: “You must take care of your health. If Your Majesty knows that you are in the southwest, you will definitely be very worried.”
Lu Qing said expressionlessly, let him worry.
The purpose of coming here has been achieved, and the performance has been completed. He returned to the horse, pulled the reins, and prepared to return to the camp.
I have to continue to fool Ning Jing to work.
After returning to the camp, Lu Qing continued to provoke Ning Jing intentionally or unintentionally.
It will not force him to rebel immediately, and it will make him impatient.
Ning Jing occasionally looked at Lu Qingze with a murderous aura that he couldn’t hide.
After a few days like this, Ning Sheng sent someone to attack at night.
Ning Sheng did this, firstly, to find out if Ning Juan really had an accident, and whether he was still in the army, and secondly, to kill the fighting spirit and energy of the Daqi army, and frequently harassed them, making them exhausted.
The night attack this time was as usual, but Daqi’s army was busy with chaos.
As Ning Jing expected, Lu Qing was leading the troops for the first time and was very unfamiliar.
After all, he is just a weak civil servant who can only talk about military tactics on paper. Even if he really has a strategy for governing the country, with the assistance of the cabinet, he can keep the rear safe and secure, but the battlefield is not like that.
It seemed that everything was arranged properly, but he still made a mistake and was accidentally invaded by the rebels in the camp.
Even in the second half of the night, Lu Qing drove the rebels out of the camp and fought back, but he still let Ning Jing take advantage.
Ning Jing’s people peeked at the defense map and the battle book that the two guards had been hiding and covering, not showing him a glance.
These things were hidden in the tent where Lu Qingze lived, and the emperor, who was said to be recovering from his injuries, was not there unexpectedly.
Taking advantage of the chaos in front of him, Ning Jing sat firmly in the camp and watched his subordinates silently produce the blueprints and battle books. After arriving from Lu Qingze to the southwest, the sullen qi that had accumulated in his chest finally dissipated. .
After drying the ink, he handed over two rolls of parchment and asked, “My lord, we now know their defense and patrol route. What are you going to do? Kill the one named Lu?”
Ning Jing turned the wrench on his thumb and shook his head: “Why do we need to do it?”
Jinshi lowered his voice: “You mean…”
“This king wants to sit on the throne dignifiedly, so naturally he can’t attack Lu Qing.” Ning Jing said leisurely, “Send these two things to Ning Sheng and tell him that Ning Juan is indeed dead. , Anxin is a oriole.”
After more than ten days of testing, Ning Sheng couldn’t sit still, seeing the situation tonight.
Ning Sheng came out and fought against the Daqi army. When both were lost, he called in private soldiers to rescue him. Lu Qing died at the hands of the rebels. It had nothing to do with him.
The near subordinate patted his head: “You still think far-reaching, the subordinate will do it now.”
There was chaos in the camp tonight, and Lu Qingze’s people could no longer keep an eye on them, so they could sneak a message out.
Ning Jing raised his hand: “Go, hide your actions.”
While Ning Jing was discussing with his close relatives, the chaotic camp was slowly returning to peace, while Lu Qing sat in the main tent and listened to Xiao Jin’s whispered report: “As you expected, while we were defending against the rebels, King Jing’s men slipped into your tent and peeked at the information.”
After being busy all night, Lu Qingze’s body was exhausted to the extreme. Not only was his body heavy, but his brain also began to feel drowsy, his chest was full of stuffiness, his consciousness was strong enough to keep his body from falling, and he smiled slowly: ” It’s good to be in a suit.”
“Then are we going to guard against King Jing?”
What Lu Qing left in the tent was mixed, not all of them were fake. Ning Jing himself was in the army, so even if he didn’t have access to secrets, he could tell one or two things. It can be seen that he cannot be deceived.
But this also poses a certain threat to Lu Qingze’s safety.
Now in the entire camp, the person Ning Jing hated most must be Lu Qingze, who frequently hindered him.
Lu Qing squeezed his forehead, shook his head and said hoarsely: “No, it’s mainly to guard against the rebels. Ning Jing now wants to take over power logically, and he won’t shoot me directly unless he has to, he should let someone pass the news. In the rebel camp, I want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.”
Xiao Jin frowned and said, “What should we do then?”
When the rebels came out in full force, they had to deal with it with all their strength, and they had no spare energy to guard against Ning Jing in the rear.
Lu Qing said: “Don’t worry, just wait for the real oriole to fly.”
Xiao Jin’s face was blank.
As soon as the two of them finished talking, the curtain of the tent was lifted. Xu Shu took a bowl of medicine and walked in cursingly: “Don’t go to rest? Do you want to be seriously ill for half a month and make trouble for me.”
Lu Qing didn’t even have the strength to drink the medicine. If it wasn’t for the environment, he might have fallen asleep while sitting on a chair.
He took the medicine bowl that Xu Shu handed to his mouth, and took the medicine several times before swallowing it.
However, after drinking a bowl of warm soup, the strong discomfort in the body was relieved a lot, and after saving a bit of strength, Lu Qing felt that he could do it again, and stood up from the table and said, “Xiao Jin, follow me to check again. Fan.”
Xu Shu was annoyed: “Can you calm down? Why is it like your Majesty? I really doubt that you came to the southwest to anger me.”
Lu Qing blinked and caught the point: “Like Your Majesty, what do you mean?”
Xu Shu was too lazy to give him a good look: “If you are injured, you can’t take good care of it. It’s not like there is no one else in this camp. Do you have to go through everything in person?”
Lu Qing thought to himself, sure enough, as he thought, the battle reports sent from the southwest to the capital were all good news. His Majesty the Emperor himself was injured, but he concealed the reports again and again.
On the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes, how can they really not be injured.
Lu Qing wanted to use shackles to lock people’s hearts, which was another point.
The night was extremely chaotic. Fortunately, there were no casualties, and everything seemed calm.
Five days later, the rebels attacked again.
This time, it was no longer a petty fight, but as Lu Qing had predicted, they came out in full force and launched a surprise attack.
Ning Sheng repeatedly confirmed for more than ten days, and after Lu Qing’s chaotic resistance that night, he received a tip from his uncle.
Although he didn’t fully believe it and knew that Ning Jing wanted to hide in the back to find out, but the opportunity was rare.
Now the coach of Daqi is an inexperienced and weak official. If he does not go out now, when will he be?
If he continued to wait and let Ning Jing get the power of the Daqi army, Ning Jing would be the next powerful enemy.
He had endured shrinking in the middle of Shu for so long, and finally he couldn’t bear it any longer.
Fortunately, the Daqi army made preparations early and was not caught off guard.
The two armies handed over, the war trumpet sounded, and a deafening roar broke out.
Lu Qing sat in it calmly, listening to the report from the frontline scouts.
In fact, the fighting strength of the rebels is not as strong as the three battalions, and Ning Juan’s fighting style is extremely sharp, which is why Ning Sheng has always been reluctant to fight head-on.
Lu Qingze’s behavior is the opposite of Ning Juan’s.
Softer like water, but hard to break through.
However, when they met at the beginning, the different fighting styles gave the rebels a great boost. They felt that the Daqi Army had really been drained of their fighting spirit and energy, and they were not as brave as before.
Ning Jing watched the battlefield. Seeing that the rebels did not do what he thought, they easily rushed into the main tent to capture Lu Qingze, and his brows darkened.
He still underestimated Lu Qingze.
But he is not without a back-up move.
Ning Jing whispered an order to his close relatives, who nodded, quietly backed out, and gave a secret signal.
Not long after, the scout suddenly came to report: “Report! Master Lu, a rebel army suddenly attacked from the rear!”
Xiao Jin didn’t dare to take the risk of Lu Qingze’s safety, he stood up holding the knife, his face solemn: “Master Lu, King Jing still can’t help but take action, he knows you are here, it’s too dangerous here, you can follow us Hide somewhere else.”
Before Lu Qing spoke, another scout came to report: “Report! Several unidentified troops have appeared in the southeast and southwest, and they are coming at full speed!”
Before Xiao Jin could speak again, Lu Qing, who heard this, suddenly got up, opened the curtain and walked out.
At the rear of the camp, the rebels disguised by King Jing’s people were coming, and the 3,000 elites who stayed behind were defending against this team.
After a short period of time, the thunderous hoofs of the army galloped, shaking the ground, as if the ground chirped.
Ning Jing, who was waiting to get Lu Qingze’s head, suddenly changed his face.
After the loud noise of the fire gun, the smell of gunpowder faintly brushed the tip of the nose.
Lu Qing stared at the other side without blinking. Amid the billowing smoke, a tall and slender figure riding a fast horse jumped out of the black smoke.
The people around him exclaimed in disbelief, “How could it be Your Majesty?”
“His Majesty!”
“Your Majesty is leading the army here!”
Lu Qing’s eyes reflected the galloping shadow, and a smile appeared on his lips unconsciously.
His oriole flew over.
The author has something to say:
Ning Juan: sudden change of species
Ning Juan: Who wants to be a stinky bird, I’m a dog hook!
