I am a cat in the palace

Sister Liu Yanyu was sent away, and younger brother Qiushan chose to stay. Although he was younger than Liu Yanyu, his heart was much clearer than Liu Yanyu.What's more, he was still young when Ling Wuzheng was taken to his side. In his heart, the relationship between him and Ling Wuzheng's father and son is as important as the relationship between siblings.

Ling Wuzheng didn't change his attitude towards Liu Yanyu because of Liu Yanyu's incident.

Soon, midsummer is coming, and the midsummer at the foot of the snow-capped mountains is not hot at all. Even if the sun is shining, the melting water of the snow-capped mountains will still bring the smell of ice and snow.

As the time sequence progressed, the Yu State army also completed its assembly at the border, and the first confrontation on the frontal battlefield began on the day of the summer solstice!

That was the first time I went to the battlefield, and it was also the first time that Rourou went to the battlefield.

Before entering the battle, Zhen and Rourou stood on the city wall in high spirits.

I originally thought that with my ability, I could take the head of an enemy general out of a thousand armies, but when I really rushed into the sea of ​​people with Rourou, all I saw were those rushing towards Rourou The whole body is covered in blood and flesh, and the enemies who can't see their faces at all, as well as those hard-to-defend hidden arrows, those gleaming spears, and those weapons that may attack the flesh and blood from any corner, may even be A chopped off human head or a flying horse leg.

Time seemed to be frozen, when the sound of the golden gong that seemed to never sound finally sounded, it became the most beautiful sound I have ever heard in my life.

I followed Rourou back to the city, and I only had one thought in my mind at that time——I never want to go to the battlefield again.

And Rourou, back in the city, with a pale face and trembling hands, still insisted on patrolling all the battlements of the entire pass, and forced himself to eat a large bowl of gnocchi mixed with mutton soup at night— —Even though he vomited it all up shortly after returning to the tent after eating.

"Although His Royal Highness King Zhen is young, he is not something in the pool."

"Only speaking of being a prince, who dares to personally kill the enemy in the army, since the founding of the country, I have only seen one of our little highnesses."

"Haha, Old Xu, I remember that when you first joined the army, you came down from the battlefield for the first time, but you didn't dare to see meat for three days, and when you smelled meat, you vomited like a pregnant woman Same."

"Fuck you, you were so much better than Lao Tzu back then. When you rushed up for the first time, when you saw Yu Manzi slashing at you, your fucking legs were weak. If I hadn't pulled you , now the grass on your grave has to be as tall as a man."

Of course, these are already things at the beginning of the war.

No one expected that the war with Yu would last so long and be fought so hard.

In the past three years, the Yanwei army lost more than half, and even Shengyuguan narrowly lost several times.

When the Yanwei army was short of food and wages to fight against the ever-increasing army of Yu State, the battle for the throne in the Central Plains between the false emperor, the old ghost, and King Shun gradually became fierce.

In the second year of the stalemate between the Yanwei Army and Yu State's army, they had already seen that Yu State was coming aggressively this time, and they saw that the Yanwei Army would not escape for a while, and they actually regarded the Yanwei Army as a resistance The only barrier of Yu State's army began to attack each other in the vast Central Plains.

The Yanwei Army only had 30 troops, but the Dongye King and the Third Prince Situ Mao of the Kingdom of Yu had the will to win, and they used the power of the whole country to fight. The initial army had a full 50 troops, and the number of troops continued to increase after that. They even dug passages in the mountains many times in an attempt to bypass the heavily guarded Shengyu Pass.

However, the Cangjun Mountains are steep and steep, and the rocks are steep and hard. It is not easy to temporarily dig a mountain path for the army to pass, not to mention that there is still me in the Yanwei army.

After several landslides and avalanches buried their [-] elite soldiers, the army of Yu State, who firmly believed that the Cangjun Mountains were protected by mountain gods, would no longer dig other mountains to find roads, and could only fight hard to win Yuguan with the tactics of crowds.

"Those two bastards! The second one doesn't even care about his own mother, let alone the one in the capital. He only cares about spending time and money in the harem every day. Seeing that winter is coming again, the military salary can't be paid, and he doesn't even have the money to buy winter clothes. I can't even get it. Look at the wounded barracks. The medicinal materials for stopping the bleeding are almost bottomed out. How can we fight this battle? Let me tell you, just let all those Yu savages come in, and let the puppet emperor and the second child, Those women and soldiers under King Shun have also tasted the taste of Yu Manzi's scimitar, and they know what life our Yanwei army is living in." Just resisting a siege battle, the bearded man will calm down the wounded soldiers He entered the general's tent through the curtain, and sat down so angry that his beard was about to explode.

"Old Xu, what nonsense are you talking about? If you shake the morale of the army again, you will be punished with military sticks!" Ling Wuzheng frowned, but he was also full of worry.

"If you are punished, you will be punished, and I have to say that we are going to eat up all the money we have saved for so many years. Seeing that winter is coming, should we let the brothers go hungry and shirtless with Yu?" What are the savages doing?" The bearded man poked his neck, his eyes almost slanted to his eyebrows.

"General! Vice-General Xu is indeed right. It is already the end of July, and it will snow in the mountains at the end of August. Even if the military salary can be owed, the military rations, winter clothes and medicines are also indispensable. Otherwise, this winter will be over. , The Yanwei Army is also finished." Wei Yin suppressed Ling Wuzheng who was also a little irritable, and told the truth about the predicament that the Yanwei Army was facing.

"Have the envoys who went to the capital and Jingzhou come back?" Ling Wuzheng turned to ask the guard next to him.

Several personal guards looked at each other, obviously they didn't receive any reply.

"These sons of subjugation!" Ling Wuzheng raised his hand bitterly and broke a teacup in hand.

The dispute has no result, so they can only find ways to raise money, send more envoys to the court to urge them to pay, and ask the south for food and clothing, but everyone knows in their hearts that the demands of the Yanwei Army may continue to be ignored.

Rourou hugged me and sat on the side without saying a word.

Turning his head and coming out, he went straight into Wei Yin's tent, um—well, it's actually Ling Wuzheng's big tent.

On the battlefield, you can squeeze when you need to, and the vacated tents can just be used to accommodate wounded soldiers.

"master."

"Shang Xin? Why don't you go to rest?" Wei Yin saw Rourou come in, left Ling Wuzheng who was disarming and walked over.

"Xin came to discuss something with Master and Uncle." Rourou said calmly.

"what's up?"

"Master, do you still remember this?" With that said, Rourou untied the pair of "cat cards" around Zhen and his necks and put them on the table.

Wei Yin was startled, and Ling Wuzheng's expression changed when he came over and saw the sign of Rourou on the table.

"Back then, the State of Yu came to attack with all its strength. It originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that the father was killed, the false emperor and the treacherous concubine pretended to seize the throne, and when our country was in chaos, it was a quick victory. Sixteen states."

"The purpose of everything is to give the three princes of the Yu Kingdom an advantage in the battle for the throne, but they didn't expect that we didn't do what they wanted, and we only relied on the 30 Yanwei army to hold them back for more than three years." The military strength of the Yu State is several times that of ours, and the consumption of manpower and material resources is also far more than ours, especially in their western borders where there are Langhu people watching."

"This winter is our difficulty, and it should also be their last persistence."

Rourou spoke his thoughts in a very calm tone.

Neither Wei Yin nor Ling Wuzheng spoke, expressing their acquiescence, but their eyes were fixed on the pair of "cat cards" on the table with complicated expressions.

"If my uncle hadn't recognized this black dragon key, I'm afraid I still don't know what it is. Ten years ago, when my father gave the black dragon key to me and Daxian, he didn't tell me what it was, just smiled. He said to me, this is my Great Xia's 'inheritance', let me and Daxian take good care of it."

"I don't know if the father foresaw something, but since the father gave it to me and Daxian, then I have the right to control it."

"It's already the autumn of my Great Xia's life-and-death crisis. Now is the time to use this 'inheritance'. I just don't know if that 'inheritance' can really save the Yanwei Army from life and death." Rourou Looking at the pair of "cat cards" on the table that have never been used, I am not completely sure.

Wei Yin and Ling Wuzheng glanced at each other.

"Then try it. Although you shouldn't count on the protection of your ancestors, you don't care much about it now." Ling Wuzheng finally nodded.

"It's just that I'm looking for..."

"Leave this matter to me and Daxian. According to my judgment, the location of the treasure house is in Tongzhou, and it doesn't need too many people. It is enough for me and Daxian to take Guanwei and Yinger to go there."

"Xin'er seems to have a plan in mind?" Wei Yin looked at the fleshy expression, slightly relaxed the frown that had been locked for many days, and revealed a smile.

Rou Rou replied with a faint smile. Three years of military service had grown his body and made his mind.

The 16-year-old boy has a calmness that doesn't match his age. Apart from the numerous scars, the killing and fighting have added a lot of majesty and solemnity to him, but day after day, the smile on his face is getting more and more serious. Come less and less.

"Go hunting for treasure?" Lin Guanwei was secretly summoned to the meat tent, and when he heard what he was going to do, he jumped almost half a day high, almost touching the top of the tent.

This young man who is a few years older than Rourou is now a vanguard officer under Ling Wuzheng's camp, but instead of restraining his childhood temper in the army, he became gangster because of hanging out with those generals for too long. It's even heavier, and he has long sideburns at a young age. If it weren't for those big black eyes and a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows, he could still look a bit young and heroic. Only the lower half of his face is not eighteen at all. , The handsome appearance of a nine-year-old youth.

"Yes, it is." Rourou nodded.

"Haha, this is so interesting. When are we going? Where are we going?" Lin Guanwei asked eagerly.

"Let's go tonight, operate secretly, and don't mention this to anyone. As for where to go, there is only a general direction, but you can find it when you get there, so you don't have to worry about it."

It's not superfluous, it's just that the pair of "cat cards" is said to be a treasure house built by Emperor Taizu of Daxia after he raised his troops and established the country. There is no certainty that it will be found.

It is said that at the beginning, this treasure house was only a material treasure left by Taizu in order to prevent the defeat of the army and to make a comeback, but he did not expect that the journey went straight to Jiuding, and the things in this treasure house have not been used.Later, when Taizu was in power, the world was not peaceful, so he started to hide treasures and prepare for war.And the days of the subsequent emperors were not very peaceful, so according to the order of Taizu, they kept filling this treasure house and used it as the foundation of the Great Xia, in case of emergencies.

This pair of "cat cards" is the key to this treasure house, but Ting Ling Wuzheng said that when the emperor told him about the "cat cards", he told him that the cat cards were only passed on to the empress, but not I don’t know why the old emperor passed this pair of "cat cards" to Zhen and Rourou. Even though he thought that the second prince was too weak and wanted to cultivate Rourou as the heir to the throne, he tied the other one around my neck. Meow really couldn't figure it out, what was he thinking at that time?
