Dare to Believe the Country and Live Up to Your Honor Ⅲ

"It's nothing." Gongsun Mingyue raised her head and threw away the straw that had been wrapped into a ring. "It's just that I feel uncomfortable seeing so many people die."

"Really?" Ponce's tone showed obvious distrust.

After Gongsun Mingyue sighed softly, she turned her head to look at him, and said with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, "Otherwise, what do you think it is."

After Gongsun Mingyue finished speaking, he coughed twice, and Pang Ce patted him on the back, and said worriedly, "How is it? The cold has struck again?"

"I'm fine," Gongsun Mingyue said with a sigh of relief, "The last time I came here with Suzaku, I found a hot spring not far away. To be honest, I really want to go to the hot spring."

"Soaking in hot springs will definitely help your body. If you want, there are many hot springs around Yanzhou, and I can take you there." Ponzer pulled his cold hands, there was no trace of temperature, making people feel as if they were already fast Lost anger.

"Are you with me?" Gongsun Mingyue turned her head, looked at him curiously and asked.

"Yes, I'm with you." Pon Ce smiled ambiguously, and Gongsun Mingyue suddenly understood the meaning of his words.

He pulled out his hands, bowed his head unnaturally and said, "Forget it, I'll let Suzaku take me there."

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Mingyue stood up, brushed the withered grass off her body, and said, "It's getting late, let's go back to the barracks, I want to see what's going on at Haoshuichuan? And I also need to prepare, I'll go to the other side tomorrow to see .”

"Do you have to go?" Ponce asked with his head bowed without getting up.

"What do you think?" Gongsun Mingyue lowered his head and asked.

Ponce stood up, sighed deeply, and then said with a smile: "Go, of course. Let's go."

Pang Ce didn't look at Gongsun Mingyue, turned around and left, leaving Gongsun Mingyue alone as if he had lost something.

When they returned to the barracks, Suzaku was already waiting in front of the camp. Seeing them coming back from Pang Ce, he immediately greeted them and said, "General, my subordinates have been waiting for you for a long time."

Pang Ce jumped off the horse with one step, and said, "Why are you here? How is Yanzhou?"

"My subordinates have already arranged everything in Yanzhou," Suzaku said after Pang Ce, "and the Nanxia Army has already retreated to Tianming Village. I think they must be busy now, and I'm afraid they don't have time to greet us."

"Then why are you here?" Ponce asked as he walked.

"My subordinates heard that there were poisonous substances in the Zhuhe River, so I was worried and came to see if there was any need for help." Suzaku said, "After all, the team here has already suffered a lot of casualties."

After standing still, Pang Ce asked, "How are Shi Yuan and Zhu Guan doing?"

Suzaku said with a gloomy face: "The injury is too serious, it's already..."

"How could this be?" Ponce didn't understand why so many people died.

"General, this time the South Xia army not only threw stones, but also fireballs. They soaked wood in tung oil and set it on fire before throwing it. Wherever it fell, it would cause a raging fire. Many of us were burned to death. , including Ren Fu and his son." There was endless hatred in Suzaku's eyes, and the Nanxia Army really did everything they could.

"These bastards." Pang Ce said angrily, "Is there Nanxia Iron Harrier Army here in Haoshuichuan?"

"Yes, this time Li Binghao put the Iron Harrier Army in Haoshuichuan. None of us thought of it. Maybe this is the result they wanted. We transferred the Feiyun cavalry to Zhuhe and Yanzhou. There are no powerful cavalry here. , it’s no wonder that so many of us died,” Suzaku said.

Gongsun Mingyue also listened to it at random, and probably knew the situation of Hao Shuichuan, but he still didn't quite understand how Suzaku managed to sneak attack.

"General Zhu, you have done a great job this time!" Gongsun Mingyue walked up to Suzaku and patted him on the shoulder.

"Mr. Gongsun, it was because of the general that he was able to repel the enemy so quickly." Suzaku said a little embarrassed.

"I'm very surprised how you all sneaked into Nanxia's rear?" Gongsun Mingyue asked suspiciously, "The 36 Jinming villages are now within Nanxia's sphere of influence."

Suzaku smiled and said: "Didn't many sons in Yanzhou surrender? We just wore their clothes, and then selected a few soldiers who were also under the general's command before, and let them lead the way in. The journey was unimpeded."

Gongsun Mingyue looked at Pon Ce with an expression of approval in his eyes. He is really not simple.

Pang Ce pretended not to see Gongsun Mingyue's expression. He looked into the distance and said, "Didn't someone say that we reckless people use force to solve problems, and smart people should use wisdom?"

"Did I say something wrong?" Gongsun Mingyue put away her approving eyes, glanced at him and said.

"How could the smart Gongsun be wrong?" Pang Ce joked again, "Of course the ones who are wrong are reckless like us."

Gongsun Mingyue looked at Pang Ce and said arrogantly, "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Pang Ce said and walked towards the commander's account. Now that Liu Yang and Shi Yuan are dead, he has gained the most here, and the army left by Liu Yang will naturally be under his leadership.

Although this result has always been what he wanted, the price he paid was a bit high.

Pang Ce was sitting in the commander's tent. He decided to keep a small part of the team stationed on the top of the mountain, and bring all the other teams back to Yanzhou, as the last barrier of the imperial court in front of Nanxia, ​​which must not be lost no matter what.

But Gongsun Mingyue was going to the other side of the river, who would accompany him? This was the most troublesome problem for Pon Ce.

Suzaku looked at Pang Ce and then at Gongsun Mingyue, and couldn't help laughing. Every time they saw the two bickering, it was very funny.

"General, I think it's better for me to take the soldiers and horses back first. Mr. Gongsun is not in good health, so I don't think we should hurry." Suzaku suggested.

"Who says I'm not in good health?" Gongsun Mingyue said unhappily, "I'm very well now, I don't want to go back, I have to go to the other side of the Zhu River to have a look."

"Mr. Gongsun, are you kidding? How can we go to the opposite side of the river now? We don't know anything about the situation on the other side." Suzaku said in amazement.

"Who said they didn't understand?" Gongsun Mingyue sat on the chair and continued, "Didn't the spy say that Li Binghao had informed them to evacuate, and they brought back a person a few days ago, I am very curious about this person. "

"What do you think?" Ponce didn't say any more.

"Yes, that's what I think, but how can I know if I don't go and see?" Gongsun Mingyue did not forget his mission this time.

"But it's really too dangerous to go like this." Ponce said melancholy

"It doesn't matter, you can let General Zhu accompany me." Gongsun Mingyue looked at Suzaku and said, "General Zhu will not be unhappy, right?"

"Master Gongsun was joking, how could I not want to." Suzaku laughed awkwardly.

"No, Suzaku can't go." Pang Ce refused.

"Why can't you go?" Gongsun Mingyue stood up and looked at him puzzled. He always cared about himself, didn't he?

"If I say you can't go, then you can't go," Pang Ce looked away from him, "find someone else."

"Since Suzaku can't go, then you can go." Gongsun Mingyue said unhappily, "He disappeared at your home anyway."

"I...I wish I could accompany you, but..." Ponce stopped talking.

"What do you mean? You can't talk about this, and you can't talk about that. You don't want me to go?" Gongsun Mingyue's voice was obviously much higher.

"I don't want you to go," Pon Ce's tone was slightly sad, "Is this also wrong?"

"You're right, it's okay if I'm wrong, right?"

"Well, although I don't want you to go, I know no one can stop you." Ponce's tone was a little sad.

"It's good to know." Gongsun Mingyue turned around and stopped looking at Pang Ce. "If you don't accompany me, I will go alone. I don't believe it. I can die in Nanxia."

After speaking, he was about to walk out of the tent, but was stopped by Pon Ce: "Why are you so impatient? Am I still thinking about candidates?"

When the two were deadlocked, a person came in, Qiu'er.

"General Zhu, General Pang, everything has been packed outside, and you can leave for Yanzhou at any time." Qiu'er touched the sweat on her forehead and said slightly panting.

Suzaku saw the joy in Qiu'er's eyes, turned around and said to Pang Ce, "The candidate has been found."

Qiu'er looked at the three people inexplicably, and these three people were all staring at her at the same time. Could it be something bad?

Qiu'er tentatively asked, "General, who is the candidate?"

Pang Ce was not at ease, he asked Suzaku: "Are you sure this little one can take on this important task?"

Suzaku smiled and said: "General, although Qiu'er is young, he is very smart. He is proficient in military strategy and formation. He has made many military exploits since I was with him, and he even saved General Wu's life. I believe he will be able to complete the task well.”

Pon Ce still didn't quite believe it. This matter is so important, wouldn't it be too much fun to let a kid go?

"I think it's pretty good, so I'll choose Qiu'er." Gongsun Mingyue walked up to Qiu'er, stroked his head and said, "Come with me to the other side of the Zhu River?"

"Really? Can I really go with you?" Qiu'er hugged Gongsun Mingyue excitedly. He dreamed of following Gongsun Mingyue to learn more knowledge and make himself smarter.

Pang Ce coughed lightly, Qiu'er's hug made him a little unhappy, did Gongsun Mingyue say that he could hug her?

Gongsun Mingyue broke away from Qiu'er's embrace, and said with a smile: "Of course it's true, you hurry up and get ready, we'll go tomorrow morning."

Qiu'er happily ran out.

Pang Ce got off the chair at this time, came to Suzaku and said, "You'd better make sure that this little guy can really protect Gongsun Mingyue, otherwise if anything happens, I will only ask you."

"General, don't worry, Qiu'er is absolutely fine," Suzaku looked at Pon Ce's eyes, and then at Gongsun Mingyue who was smiling behind him, and said, "This subordinate should go and explain to him the seriousness of the matter now, and let him He gets attention."
