Chapter 108 Painful Memories
"I don't blame you for this. I underestimated Xiao Langtian too much. It seems that since he was demoted to a commoner, he is no longer the Xiao Langtian he used to be. Don't worry about other things. Stay here and recuperate.
Come on, wait until you are ready, and then go to the battlefield with me to avenge those three thousand soldiers!"
Xiao Langmo said coldly, and then turned and left. Zhanfeng glanced at Ziye and followed Xiao Langmo out.
"Your Highness, we have lost so many elite soldiers, what should we do next?" Zhan Feng asked carefully from the side.
"What should I do? Xiao Langtian wiped out so many of my elite soldiers at once, and also convinced Duanmu Yun
Joining forces with him, if I guessed correctly, Duanmu Yun has now become another ace in his arsenal, right? Humph! This Xiao Langtian is really cunning.
;amp;#8226;amp;#8226;amp;#8226;" Xiao Langmo snorted coldly.
"Then Xiao Langtian now has the assistance of Nanling Emperor and Duanmuyun?!" Zhan Feng suddenly realized something and exclaimed.
"Yes, so far, with my military strength, I am definitely no match for them. Coupled with Xiao Langtian's own strength, it is simply an egg hitting a stone. But fortunately, in the Ganquan Palace just now, my father has handed over all the military power to me. In this way
At first, I could barely resist him, but there is still a huge disparity in strength. Now I can only take one step at a time." Xiao Langmo sighed silently in his heart and went back to the dormitory to rest. It was a tiring day today.
It’s better to rest early and recuperate your energy.
Early the next morning, Xiao Langmo did get the news from Yumo that Duanmu Yun would cooperate with Xiao Langtian, but this was what he expected.
Nie Mengdie has been imprisoned there by Xiao Langmo for the past few days. She has tried every means to embarrass him and found countless excuses to escape, but all of them have failed.
On this day, Xiao Langtian came to see her, and Nie Mengdie did not challenge him for the first time, because she knew that not only was this place so heavily guarded, but also the people who brought her meals and the maids who served him, as well as the door
The guards never talked to her, not because they didn't know how to speak, but because they didn't dare, because the maid last time was a living example.
In this way, she had no chance to escape, but Xiao Langtian finally came to see her, and it was good to have someone to chat with.
"Hey, you've been locking me here all day with no one to talk to. If you suffocate me to death, let's see how you explain to my father!" Nie Mengdie pouted and said angrily.
.
"Okay, how about this prince come and chat with Her Highness the Princess?" Xiao Langtian sat down and looked at Nie Mengdie with a smile.
"Although you are not a good person, having someone to chat with me is better than nothing." Nie Mengdie glanced at Xiao Langtian with disdain.
"Then what does the princess want to talk about?" Xiao Lang was too timid to argue with her, and just smiled lightly.
"I miss my father, so let me share with you what happened when I was a child!" Nie Mengdie then started talking to herself.
"I am the only princess of Nanling Kingdom and my father's only daughter. Because my father loved my mother very much, he only married my mother, and my mother only gave birth to my daughter.
But I seem to have heard from my father that I had a sister who was later separated. I don’t know if that’s true.
Therefore, my father loves me very much. I remember that I was very naughty when I was a child. One time I was feeding fish by the pond and accidentally fell into it. My father was also there at the time. He jumped down immediately without even thinking about it.
I was rescued, but my father also contracted the cold because of rescuing me. For this, my mother scolded me for several days, but my father didn't even say a word of reproach, and instead cared for me even more than before.
Already.
There was another time when I was sick and had a high fever, and all the imperial doctors were helpless. It was my father who refused to give up and was always by my side to protect me. He also personally went to find an expert from outside the world to treat me. If it hadn’t been for my father,
, I almost died•••amp;#8226;
"That's enough! Stop talking!" Just when Nie Mengdie was talking enthusiastically, Xiao Langtian suddenly roared, startling Nie Mengdie.
"Hey, why are you so crazy!" Nie Mengdie stroked her chest and yelled angrily.
Xiao Langtian looked at the angry Nie Mengdie and realized that he had just fallen into memories, because many of the childhood memories Nie Mengdie recounted were similar to what he saw when he was a child.
It's just that those favors don't belong to him, but to Xiao Langmo.
When he was a child, he always saw his father accompanying Xiao Langmo and his mother for a walk in the imperial garden, but rarely accompanied him and his mother, and every time he could only hide behind the rockery and peek. Xiao Langmo was sick.
When he was young, his father was always by his side, but when he was sick, only his mother was by his side. Although he had called his father countless times in his heart, hoping that he would come and see him, what he expected every time was
Disappointed, even if my father came, he would only stay for a while and then leave.
Whenever Xiao Langtian thought of these things, his heart couldn't stop hurting, so Xiao Langtian secretly swore since he was a child that he would kill Xiao Langmo in the future, so that no one would compete with him for his father's favor.
Nie Mengdie looked at his absent-minded look and waved her hand in front of his eyes, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh, it's nothing." Xiao Langtian came back to his senses and replied coldly.
"Then let's continue talking. Where did I just talk about it? Forget it, I won't talk about it. How about you also talk about your childhood?" Nie Mengdie said angrily, blaming him for disturbing her thoughts.
was interrupted.
"There's nothing much to say about what happened when I was a child!" Xiao Langtian sighed and smiled lightly.
Laughed.
"How could you not tell me? There's no one here anyway, so just tell me." Nie Mengdie suddenly became curious about Xiao Langtian's childhood.
Xiao Langtian looked at Nie Mengdie's innocent smile, pondered for a long time, and then slowly said: "When I was a child, I was not as happy as you, and I did not live as happily as you did, because my father did not love me.
He only loves my younger brother. No matter what delicious food or fun things he has, he will give them to him first.
I remember one time when I was a child, my brother and I were robbing something. My father had just come back from court and saw me. He beat me hard and took the things away to my brother to make him happy. Later, I tried to please my father.
, I could make a pair of puppets with my own hands, representing me and my father respectively, but my father threw away the puppets without even looking at them."
Xiao Langmo laughed to himself. He was so stupid at that time. He only wanted to be loved by his father, but his father never looked down upon him.
"Ah, why did your father treat you like this? But you shouldn't steal your brother's things.
, After all, the eldest brother should let his younger brother go!" Nie Mengdie picked up a piece of pastry sitting on her desk and said casually.
Xiao Langtian suddenly raised his head and looked at her. Was it really his fault? No! He didn't do anything wrong. It was all because of that scoundrel Xiao Langmo, who had robbed his father's love!
A chill.
"So I have sworn since I was a child that I will kill him in the future. However, my father has always taken good care of him and sent people to protect his safety. Therefore, I failed time and time again. In the end, I was framed by him, which hurt my other father.
The emperor was expelled from the palace and demoted to common people." When Xiao Langtian said these words, his eyes were filled with hatred.
"This is your fault. It's not his fault that your father treated him well. Why do you blame him? Also, if you hadn't wanted to kill him, how could he have been forced to do so?
To frame you? Besides, I don’t think your father is as hard-hearted as you say. If he was really that cruel, he would have killed you long ago. How could he just demote you to a commoner and still keep your life? Explanation
Your father still loves you." Nie Mengdie analyzed matter-of-factly.
Xiao Langtian looked at her blankly. He had never thought about these words. Could it be that he had wrongly blamed his father? But why couldn't his father treat him equally as a son?
"Hey, why aren't you talking again!" Nie Mengdie stood up with her hands on her hips. Really, she wasn't focused at all while chatting with her. It was so disrespectful to herself!
"I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." Xiao Langtian said with a dull look, then stood up and left. He was afraid that if he continued to chat with her, his determination would be shaken, and he couldn't!
When he reached the door, Xiao Langtian stopped again, turned back to Nie Mengdie and said with a smile,
"I advise you not to think of any crooked ideas, let alone think of escaping, because not even a fly can fly out of here."
"Humph! Got it!" Nie Mengdie snorted, made a face at him, and sat down on the stool in anger.
After today, the war drum has officially sounded. No matter what happened in the past, no matter whether he did anything wrong, when this war is won, he will be the emperor of Shuxing Kingdom. He will no longer need to ask for anyone's love. At that time, he will only have the love of others.
Kneel at his feet and beg for his love!
Xiao Langtian looked at the gray sky with a cold smile on his lips.
At this time, the imperial capital of Shuxing Kingdom was still sleeping, and only the military camp thousands of miles away from the imperial capital still had lights on all night long, because they knew that the battle would start in two hours, and for the safety of their loved ones behind them, they must always
Stay vigilant and never allow the enemy to take advantage of you.
Time is passing by bit by bit, and the battle is gradually approaching. As time is delayed, the sky has gradually begun to turn fish belly white. Just when the first ray of light of the sun shines on the earth, a drum beats loudly, and the battle begins.
Finally started!
"Kill!" the generals of both sides roared, and waved their flags. Like an army composed of tens of millions of ants, they all rushed towards the other side desperately.
The enemy troops are like dark clouds pressing down on the country, and the dangerous city seems to be destroyed; The sun shines on the armor like fish scales, and the golden light shines. Bugles are heard everywhere, and the horns sound soaring into the sky; The soil is like rouge, and the cold wind is blowing the red flag.
, the morning fog and frost soaked through the drum skin, making the drum sound particularly low.
In order to boost morale, this time Xiao Langmo went to the battlefield in person and charged at the front of the army.
Xiao Langmo was riding on a sweaty horse. He was wearing white armor and a red shirt. He was invincible among the rebellious army and seemed to be brave enough. The enemy generals beside him fell off their horses one after another.
, was defeated. At the same time, the Yue Ling Army led by Xiao Langmo behind him also rushed forward in a bucket-shaped battle formation surrounded by the enemy generals, one to ten.
After the first round, Xiao Langmo's side was defeated. Although Xiao Langmo himself was brave and good at fighting, Xiao Langtian's side had a large number of people, strong soldiers and horses, plus Duanmu Yun's 500 Dark Night Army and his 1,000 Red Shadow Army.
, such a top killer army caught Xiao Langmo's side even more unprepared. But fortunately, his elite troops are still there.
Xiao Langmo was defeated and retreated ten miles back. He stationed his army in Pingcheng. Due to the cruelty of the war, many wealthy families in the city fled. Only the poor families who were old, weak, sick and disabled could only stay in the city, waiting for death.
It's not because they don't want to escape, it's just that they don't have the strength to escape, and there is no place to escape. If they stay here for a day, they still have a mouthful of food to eat. If they escape to other cities, they will only starve. Moreover, this is exactly
When the war is in chaos, who will pity you?!
At this moment, Xiao Langmo was also discussing the war with the generals at the Pingcheng County Magistrate's Mansion.
"Given the current war situation, head-on confrontation is definitely out of the question. It seems we can only resort to trickery." General Li sighed sadly.
"Yes, General Li is right, I just have a plan here." Xiao Langmo pondered for a while and said with a smile.
"His Royal Highness, if you have any clever ideas, you might as well tell them." General Wang looked at Xiao Langmo with excitement.
"Capture the thief first. Capture the king first. I will go with you to the enemy's tent tonight. I will be responsible for finding Xiao Langtian's tent. You ambush around the enemy's tent, surround them, and wait for me to sneak into Xiao Langtian's tent."
, after catching him, you all rise up and rush into the military camp."
"However, the military camp where Xiao Langtian is must be heavily guarded. It is surrounded by heavy soldiers and patrolled day and night. How can His Highness get in?" General Wang looked at Xiao Langmo with a worried look.
"Haha, this prince has his own way." Xiao Langmo glanced at the generals, his face
A confident smile from the previous one.
"Well, I think this method is feasible. After a fierce battle today, the enemy army must be exhausted and depressed. They will definitely think that our army is recuperating like them and getting ready for the next battle. If we make a surprise surprise attack tonight, we will definitely
It will work!" General Li said with admiration.
"Well, my prince has the same idea as General Li, so let's arrange our own ambush places now." Xiao Langmo nodded and said with a smile.
"I am lying in ambush in the east!"
"I am lying in ambush in the west!"
