Text Chapter 647: A Letter From Home
When they returned to Winterfrost City, everyone was already exhausted. The 20,000 accompanying advance troops were killed, exhausted, and starved to death along the way, so that when they arrived outside Winterfrost City, there were only more than 11,000 people left. , About 200 of them were the people who raised the Wei Legion back then, and they were also the basis for Weihou Min Yulin's army to re-emerge. They stationed the advance army outside the city, and Min Yulin, Xu Ying and others followed Lin Muyu into Winter Frost City.
The damaged city walls in the tragic World War I a few years ago have been repaired, and even due to the arrival of the Gendan Camp, a new city was built outside Dongshuang City, which nearly doubled the city area. Most of the gatherings were attracted by the mine veins of Copper Helmet Mountain. Today's Winterfrost City is quite prosperous, and it is no longer desolate as before.
Lin Muyu rode on Treading Snow, and walked slowly with the crowd, while Min Yulin on the side rode a black horse, looking at everything around him, he was deeply moved. Back then, the Yangwei Legion was trapped in this deserted city, killing The horses ate meat, and eventually they dug up the earth to satisfy their hunger, and those despicable people in Shi Huo even cooked and ate the corpses of the war dead.
After seeing Min Yulin's thoughts, Lin Muyu smiled playfully: "Your Majesty, the population of this Winter Frost City is close to one million, and its military strength is nearly 200,000. "
Min Yulin had also heard a little about the wars between the empire and the demons, so he clasped his fists and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness has martial arts, without you, I am afraid that the Great Qin Empire would have been torn apart."
"Your Majesty's praise, I just did what I should do." Lin Muyu nodded and thought, he had received Qin Yin's kindness in Lanyan City, at least in this world, as a subject, as Qin Yin's Lovers, this is what I should do, because this is a man's due responsibility.
The city lord's mansion has been renovated and replaced with a golden plaque of "Qin Wang's mansion". Everything is handled by Situ Xue. This female general can defend against the enemy and manage the family. She is indeed a rare treasure of the Dragon Dan Legion.
Min Yulin looked up at the golden plaque, and felt very uncomfortable. Back then, Lin Muyu went out with the army as the chief deacon of the temple, and he even looked down on him, but now, this young man has overturned the world of the demons and the Yihe Kingdom, and single-handedly created This is the era when the three kings of the Great Qin Empire ruled the world.
After entering Prince Qin's mansion, Min Yulin said respectfully: "Your Highness, what city do you plan to arrange for the old minister to guard?"
Lin Muyu pondered: "More than a hundred miles east of Dongshuang City, there is a state and county called Dongyuan County, with a population of about 400,000. It is the largest state and county in Lingdong Province. The supplies are still abundant, and it is less than ten miles away from the steel parapet. , if the demons attack the steel wall from the east, Dongyuan County is a must pass, so it is also a strategically important place. A general must go to guard it. I have never had a suitable candidate before. Now that the king is back, it is just right to go. guard."
"yes."
Min Yulin gave a military salute and said, "Once the advance army is finished resting, my subordinates will immediately lead them to serve in Dongyuan County."
"No, don't worry too much." Lin Muyu smiled and said: "I still need to replenish your army with troops, equipment, horses and food, don't worry, besides, the advance army can no longer be called the advance army, it must be reorganized into Yangwei Army, I will replenish the Yangwei Army to 50,000 troops as soon as possible, and then ask Brother Feng and A Yan to mobilize new recruits from Lingnan and Lingbei to restore the Yangwei Army's 100,000 soldiers. It also needs to be recast, it will take time, before everything is complete, you can live in Prince Qin's mansion with peace of mind."
Min Yulin trembled all over, he was just a defeated general, and a general who defected to the enemy, how could Lin Muyu use him so much?
He hastily stepped back a few steps, knelt on the ground, and made a big salute: "Veteran... Veteran Min Yulin thanked His Royal Highness King Qin for his kindness in rebuilding."
Lin Muyu quickly helped him up: "You don't need to be polite, in my eyes, you will always be a minister of the empire. Although the demons are retreating to the Tongtian province, their strength is still there after all. The empire needs a general like you who can fight. "
"Yes, the veteran must die to serve the country!"
In fact, Lin Muyu knew very well in his heart that Min Yulin's self-esteem was too heavy, and he was not allowed to surrender to the demons under his iron bones, so that he would be imprisoned in the Demon Lock Valley for five years. The person who really surrendered was Min Yulin. Zhan and Xu Ying, but Min Yulin has never surrendered to the demons. As for Min Zhan and Xu Ying, Xu Ying had to do it for the safety of Min Yulin, while Min Zhan was eager to protect his father and was also scared by the demon army. Out of courage, it is human nature, and it can be seen from the fact that they did not kill innocent people when they besieged Shenying City, the old troops of this group of mighty legions still have a conscience, and they have always had a sincere heart towards the empire, which can be of great use.
...
After entering the main hall, a maid presented an exquisite cage to Lin Muyu. In the cage, the wings of the little green owl became fuller, and they spread out their immature wings as if they recognized their master and greeted Lin Muyu. Lin Muyu couldn't help but feel warm. , smiled and said: "Little guy, how are you doing in Winterfrost City by yourself?"
Xiao Qinghu chirped, but Lin Muyu couldn't understand what she wanted to say.
Situ Xue said respectfully: "Weihou's dinner party is already being prepared, and it will start in an hour. Please wait patiently."
Min Yulin, Min Zhan and others expressed their thanks one after another.
At this time, a general at the rank of ten thousand commanders came over, it was Feng Xi, clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness...His Highness Ning has an invitation, she said she has something to talk to you about."
"Feng Ning'er?"
"Yes." Fengxi smiled playfully, "Your Highness, you have returned from the blood-red abyss, and you have never met His Highness Ning. He has always been thinking about you."
"Understood, I'll go there now and lead the way."
"yes!"
Since Feng Ninger has something to say, he might as well listen to it. Anyway, the war between the empire and the demons is so stalemate that there will be no progress. The demons are afraid of the power of the magic crystal cannon and the steepness of the steel wall and cannot fight back. The Longdan Camp has been reluctant to get involved in the Tongtian Province because the demons have operated the Tongtian Province for many years, and the land is desolate, the official roads are in disrepair and cannot transport heavy artillery. This stalemate has lasted for four years. It's not bad to hear what Feng Ning'er wants to say.
...
Feng Ning'er's residence is in the elegant garden in the backyard of Prince Qin's Mansion. The scenery is truly amazing, with pavilions, towers, mountains, rocks and flowing water, and a bamboo forest swaying slowly in the breeze. The guards of the Long Dan camp even set up arrow boxes on the courtyard wall. The Long Dan camp valued this little demon princess too much, so they couldn't make any mistakes.
"Open the door." Fengxi whispered.
Several guards guarding the gate immediately saluted respectfully: "See Your Highness!"
After the door was opened, Lin Muyu stepped in. He didn't even have time to change the armor of the advance army, but it didn't matter. His handsome face was full of calmness and confidence. This kind of temperament is not recognized by ordinary people. Yes, no matter what clothes you wear, you can control it.
"Squeak..."
After pushing open the carved wooden door, Feng Ning'er stood up in a plain skirt, and said respectfully: "Feng Ning'er, see Your Highness King Qin."
"Your Highness Ning, you don't need to be polite, get up."
Lin Muyu stepped into the hall and said, "I don't know what is His Highness Ning looking for me?"
Feng Ning'er blinked her eyes and said, "Does His Highness King Qin know how many years the little girl hasn't seen her father?"
"Six years." Lin Muyu said without hesitation: "You were captured by the imperial army in April 7735, and today is August 21, 7741."
As he said that, he couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional, and said: "His Highness Ning'er has suffered, and was imprisoned for more than six years. If your father and emperor hadn't started this war, I think His Highness Ning'er should still be in Tongtian Gorge Enjoy family fun."
Feng Ning'er's beautiful eyes were clouded with mist, and said: "I believe His Royal Highness King Qin is not the kind of cold-blooded and heartless person, Ning'er wrote a letter from his family to Emperor Father, and hoped that His Royal Highness King Qin would send someone to present it to Emperor Father, May I?"
She took out a piece of letterhead.
Lin Muyu glanced at the yellowed rice paper in her hand, and said, "Your Highness, can I read the contents of the letter?"
"En." Feng Ning'er nodded, she knew that this kind of thing should not be done carelessly, after all, now Lin Muyu is the highest commander of the entire Lingdong Province, he dare not be careless.
After reading the letter paper, it was nothing more than some longing words. Lin Muyu used his divine power to observe carefully for a while. There was no tampering on the rice paper, let alone acrostic poems. He believed that it would not be a matter of conveying military secrets, so he nodded. : "Okay, I will send someone to deliver the letter to the demons, don't worry, Your Highness."
"Then... Thank you, Your Highness King Qin!" Feng Ning'er bowed slowly, and gave the imperial lady's salute. She stayed in the imperial territory for so long that she almost forgot that she was a demon.
"If there is nothing else, I will go back first. There are still many things waiting for me to do." Lin Muyu said lightly.
"And..." Feng Ning'er's eyes flickered with timidity, and he hesitated to speak.
"What else?" Lin Muyu turned around.
"Also, it's my birthday in half a month..." Feng Ning'er said.
"knew."
Lin Muyu turned around and left without looking back. Feng Ning'er had already mentioned in the letter that she hoped that the Demon Emperor and humans would have a truce, and that she could see her father who had been away for six years on her 22nd birthday.
truce?
The demons are willing, but humans are not. This land originally belonged to the empire. Even if the demons surrendered, Lin Muyu would sweep the entire Tongtian Gorge and let the demons pull out of this land. There are too many sins, and there is no right to be forgiven.
