Chapter five hundred and eighteen withdrawal
Without any melancholy, the girl came to Wei Chao's side, bowed respectfully, and said: "My daughter has seen her father, and the things her father told her have been done. Granny Huang and Mr. Fan are both inside, but my daughter has done it."
, there is no secret passage here."
Looking at the girl lovingly, Wei Chao's face flashed with joy, he nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, very good! My father will ask the emperor for an imperial decree for you, and you can stay with my father from now on! So
I’ve been really hard on you for so many years, I’m sorry for you as a father!”
Luo Sigong, who was standing next to Wei Chao, was stunned for a while. He didn't expect that this girl was actually the daughter of Wei Chao, the daughter of a eunuch, which made Luo Sigong feel dumbfounded. However, among eunuchs, this kind of thing is not uncommon.
Luo Sigong did not expect that the Wei Dynasty would have a daughter.
In the Forbidden City, most of the eunuchs were sent to the palace when they were young, but some of them were not. This group of people were actually sent to the palace after they became adults. These people were forced by life and had wives.
Children are not a rare thing.
Although Wei Chao was only a teenager when he entered the palace, he already had a wife and a daughter at that time. Later, because of a disaster at home, he was separated from his wife and daughter. After so many years, Wei Chao still found him.
.
"Eunuch Wei, what's going on? Is this your daughter?" After arranging the arrest, Luo Sigong couldn't wait to come to Wei Chao and asked curiously.
"Yes! Our family had a wife before entering the palace, and this is my daughter. Speaking of this, I have to thank Mr. Luo. Last time, our family learned from Mr. Luo that there was a saint around the White Lotus Sect.
A very trustworthy maid, our family took it seriously. While sending people to the White Lotus Sect as an undercover agent, we naturally checked the maid carefully. It doesn’t matter if we don’t check. After checking, we found out that Ping Ping’er was separated from our family.
Daughter!" Wei Chao's face was very excited and his expression was filled with gratitude.
It was a coincidence. After discovering this incident, Wei Chao met Ping'er in person and confirmed the father-daughter relationship between the two. After that, Ping'er became Dongchang's biggest undercover agent in the White Lotus Sect.
"Eunuch Wei is so broad-minded that he can let his own daughter risk his life. Luo really admires him!" Luo Sigong quickly protected his chest. He looked at Wei Chao with a sincere face, but there was an inexplicable smell in his eyes.
As the governor of Dongchang, Wei Chao was naturally extremely intelligent, and he understood what Luo Sigong meant in an instant. Originally, he just wanted his daughter to have a meritorious service, so that he could obtain a legal identity for his daughter with Emperor Tianqi. Hearing this
Luo Sigong's words made Wei Chao suddenly change his mind.
Knowing that this was Luo Sigong reminding him, Wei Chao immediately nodded with understanding. If he sent his daughter to the White Lotus Sect as an undercover agent, then not only would his daughter be able to clear her name, but she would also have the impression of being selfless. The credit would be huge, and the benefits would be natural.
There are also many.
Glancing at Luo Sigong gratefully, Wei Chao smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Master Luo is indeed thoughtful, and our family knows it!"
While the two people were talking, people from Jinyiwei and Dongchang had already rushed in. This was just a small courtyard, and there were not many people inside. The battle did not last long. Several people were quickly escorted out. This
Naturally, there was the gentle Mr. Fan inside, and Granny Huang was also among them.
But when the two of them saw the girl standing with Wei Chao, their faces were full of shock and disbelief. After they figured out what was going on, their eyes were full of hatred, as if they wanted to tear Wei Ping'er to pieces.
Same.
"Are you right about the saint? If you hadn't been a saint back then, you would have starved to death on the streets. Now you have betrayed the holy religion. You will not end well!" As if to express the resentment in her heart, Granny Huang said cruelly.
He stared at Wei Ping'er fiercely and cursed loudly.
However, the person who was escorting Granny Huang was Dongchang's fanzi, and his face suddenly became very ugly. He stretched out his hand and took off Granny Huang's chin. Granny Huang could only make a whining sound. But her eyes
But he became even more fierce.
Leaning her body in Wei Chao's arms, Wei Ping'er did not dare to look at Granny Huang, her face was filled with a look of superiority, and her body was trembling constantly.
Gently stroking his daughter's back, Wei Chao's face was full of pity, and at the same time there was a hint of regret. However, the eyes he looked at Granny Huang were unusually cold, as if he was not looking at a person, but a person.
A corpse.
Although Luo Sigong on the side saw Wei Chao's gaze, Luo Sigong didn't show any expression at all, as if he didn't see anything. Luo Sigong knew very well that the life and death of these people was not decided by him and Wei Chao, and he also believed that Wei Chao
I dare not do anything in private.
Although he had been working hard all night, Luo Sigong's face did not look tired at all. He was still full of energy, and he looked at the Forbidden City with relief in his eyes.
At this time in the land of Liaodong, Sun Chengzong could not breathe a sigh of relief. The battle that he thought would go smoothly fell into anxiety. Fushun, which he thought would be captured soon, fought for three days but showed no signs of falling.
Looking at the map in front of him, Sun Chengzong frowned tightly. The weather was getting colder and colder, and it was becoming less and less suitable for large army operations. In the past few days, more and more soldiers were unable to move due to frostbite. Sun Chengzong knew whether to retreat or not.
I'm afraid it won't be possible to withdraw.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Sun Chengzong did not look back, but said in a slightly hoarse voice: "What's the matter? If you don't have anything to do, don't disturb me!" In Sun Chengzong's view, in such a late night, the only thing that can disturb him is
His own soldiers.
However, Sun Chengzong's idea soon came to nothing, because Xiong Tingbi's voice sounded behind him, and he said slightly worriedly: "Sir, it's so late, why don't you rest?"
When Xiong Tingbi came out to the training camp at night, he didn't expect that the lights in Sun Chengzong's tent were still on, so he came over to take a look. Unexpectedly, Sun Chengzong was not asleep yet.
"Fei Bai! I'm old and can't sleep!" When Sun Chengzong saw it was Xiong Tingbi, a joyful light flashed across his face. He looked at Xiong Tingbi with a smile and said angrily.
"Sir, your health is not very good in such a cold weather. You should rest early! It doesn't matter if you can't take Fushun now. We can come again. Your body is much more important than Fushun City!" he said while looking at it.
Xiong Tingbi knew that Sun Chengzong had drank a lot of tea, and his brows suddenly wrinkled.
Although Sun Chengzong is usually energetic and in good health, Xiong Tingbi knows very well. For Sun Chengzong, who is over sixty years old, the bitter cold land of Liaodong is really unsuitable. But Xiong Tingbi also knows that this land of Liaodong cannot be
Without Sun Chengzong, I'm afraid it would be very troublesome.
"Feibai! The weather is so cold now, and Fushun City is well prepared. It seems not easy for us to capture Fushun City!" Looking deeply at Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chengzong had a trace of hesitation on his face. At this time, Sun Chengzong
I am also a little undecided.
Sighing softly, Xiong Tingbi naturally knew what Sun Chengzong meant, but Xiong Tingbi didn't have any good ideas. If he was given a month, it would be enough to take down Fushun City, but now there is nothing he can do.
After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Xiong Tingbi said in a deep voice: "Sir, now we have only two choices. First, we withdraw our troops as soon as possible to reduce losses. Second, we continue to attack Fushun and capture Fushun City regardless of losses."
"What do you think?" He looked at Xiong Tingbi with a smile, as if all his worries were gone, and Sun Chengzong returned to his original demeanor.
"Sir, I think we should withdraw our troops now!" Looking up at Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi spoke in a very serious tone, with a firm light flashing in his eyes.
Smiling and nodding, Sun Chengzong's face flashed with relief, and he said in a relaxed tone: "Tell me why?"
"Sir, Fushun is just a city, and there will be many opportunities to capture it in the future. Those outside are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and they are also elite soldiers and generals of Liaodong. We cannot afford any loss from them!" Xiong Tingbi's face flashed.
He expressed pity, with unshakable determination in his tone, and looked at Sun Chengzong with piercing eyes.
