Chapter 430 Don’t Judge a Person by Appearance

Then, she talked about the plan.

Everyone who heard it subconsciously straightened their backs, including He Lingchuan, but everyone looked confused at the same time, only General Nan Ke shouted: "Good, good! I think it's good!"

Wen Daolun couldn't help laughing: "General, this plan is great!"

General Nan Ke gave a thumbs up: "In this way, we don't have to wait for the order of the Bird King, we can leave whenever we want. General Hong is right, we don't want any of the choices they give us!"

Zhong Shengguang glanced at him, with a smile in his eyes: "The method is good, you can think about it carefully."

Zhao Xianhe couldn't help saying: "Wait a minute, didn't General Hong decide that we should stay in the wilderness and can't return to the country?" What does this mean?

Ling Chongshui had always been at odds with him, so he sarcastically said, "So does Lord Zhao want to stay or go back?"

"My stay or departure will be decided by Commander Zhong." Zhao Xianhe raised his eyebrows, paused, and said, "The capital secretly sent me a secret order, asking me to volunteer to lead the troops back east along the Jinxi Corridor. After returning, I will be promoted and enjoy special honors. I have reported this to Lord Zhong."

Ling Chongshui was furious: "The king wants to repeat the same trick and take away another commander and tens of thousands of elite soldiers from us?!"

The generals were also very angry.

The king did not want Zhong Shengguang to go back at all, but he hoped that the elite soldiers trained in the northwest wilderness could be transferred back to the country to help him stabilize his country, so he sent a secret letter to Zhao Xianhe.

When everyone was condemning him, Zhong Shengguang knocked on the table and said solemnly, "Okay, I have made up my mind."

As soon as these four words came out, no one else said a word. Commander Zhong had already decided, and no one here could shake it.

No matter how many questions there are, they can only swallow them.

"Just follow General Hong's plan."

Since he has set the direction, the generals began to discuss various details around this.

There are really many things, no matter how big or small.

He Lingchuan listened carefully and realized how much preparation is needed to fight a war.

It is more complicated than you can imagine.

War is an account. And no matter how thorough the preparations before the war are, it is far from enough.

Not to mention that Zhong Shengguang's dispatch of troops this time was a sudden impulse, fast and urgent.

The time to test Panlong City has come again.

After sorting out all these, more than an hour has passed. Zhong Shengguang drank a whole cup of hot tea to moisten his throat, and then he exhaled: "In short, now is a great opportunity. Next, let's assign tasks."

The lights in the hall of weapons were not extinguished until sunset.

After the meeting, all the officials left in a hurry, some to make preparations, and some to go home for dinner.

Everyone takes the pre-war meal very seriously, and most of them have to be served richly.

Wen Daolun was going home for dinner. When he walked to the door, he smiled at He Lingchuan and said, "You've worked hard, standing with us old men for a day."

He Lingchuan shook his head, "I'm shocked."

He had almost no experience in leading troops in battle, so this kind of listening was extremely beneficial to him.

He observed Wen Daolun carefully. This counselor that Zhong Shengguang relied on smiled very kindly, as if he had walked out of the grief of losing his son, but there were a few more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, his eyes were a little cloudy, and there were a few more strands of white hair on his temples.

"It's already this hour, is there anyone waiting for you at home for dinner?"

He Lingchuan said honestly, "No. I wanted to go to the Wenxuan Pavilion, but General Hong called me here to be on duty."

"Really? That means you are very valued." Wen Daolun patted his arm, "Do a good job, young man, I have high hopes for you."

For a closed-door meeting of this level, only the most trusted personal soldiers of Zhong Shengguang and General Hong are qualified to guard the door.

Otherwise, if the secrets here are leaked, it will cause a ripple.

At this time, Zhao Xianhe came over and called Wen Daolun to go out together. The latter said to He Lingchuan: "I'm leaving first."

Zhao Xianhe's eyes also swept over He Lingchuan without staying for long.

After Wen Daolun left, He Lingchuan's eyes fell on Zhong Shengguang and General Hong who were passing behind.

After experiencing the illusion of the ruins of Yuan State, he felt that there were more mysteries about Zhong Shengguang, and the relationship between him and the god Mi Tian was also confusing.

Now, where is the big square pot hidden by Commander Zhong?

Are all the consequences of paying tribute to the gods so complicated?

Sensing his gaze, General Hong suddenly said: "What are you looking at?"

Even through the mask, He Lingchuan could feel her eyes on him. At this time, the people in the Gange Hall were almost gone, and he answered directly:

"If you go according to your plan, the king still orders to move to An, what should we do?"

When he said this, Zhong Shengguang and General Hong looked at each other and knew that he had found the idea.

General Hong seemed to laugh twice: "What's wrong with Qian'an?"

"It's not easy to completely open up the road back to the east." He Lingchuan said very straightforwardly, "Otherwise we could have returned to the east earlier, why wait until now?"

Zhong Shengguang stared at him and said: "Do you think General Hong's proposal is inappropriate?"

"What if it's not satisfactory?"

"The worst result is just a return without success, why can't we bear it?" Zhong Shengguang smiled, "Do you think we have never been defeated?"

"The situation in war is unpredictable, and perfection is the most taboo." He said word by word, "There is no such good thing in the world."

He Lingchuan lowered his head: "I've learned."

"Go back and spend more time with your family tonight." Zhong Shengguang said, "We will set off soon, and this battle is crucial."

"Yes."

It was already dark when they left the Gange Hall, and the Wenxuan Pavilion was closed, so He Lingchuan had no choice but to walk back with two books in his arms.

On the way, he also turned a corner and went to the South Gate Square to look at the Juluo tree.

The small tree is growing well and is bright green. There is a nest of sparrows in the crown, and a new branch has grown on the trunk.

Compared with its sudden appearance, its current behavior is too ordinary, as if it is no different from an ordinary tree.

What does a big square pot need a Juluo tree for? He Lingchuan always couldn't figure it out.

Now that he had come here, he simply went to Shuanghe Restaurant for a sumptuous dinner. The place was still bustling with people, everyone was chatting and laughing without any idea that a new war was about to begin.

This time, it was Panlongcheng who took the initiative.

There were several comrades who came over to have a drink, one of them was Duan Xinyu who was exploring the Flesh Fortress with He Lingchuan.

Xinyu was already married at this time, and his newlywed wife was the girl who was angered by He Lingchuan's words of "either stupid or blunt".

Duan Xinyu's life after marriage was quite happy. His little wife gritted her teeth whenever he mentioned He Lingchuan, which made him feel happy. Therefore, when he saw He Lingchuan, he was very enthusiastic, grabbed him and thanked him repeatedly.

He toasted a few glasses, and others toasted a few more glasses. He Lingchuan's meal had to be extended to two hours.

After all, he knew very well that after the next long-distance attack, some people might not be there anymore.

When he returned home, as soon as he opened the door, he saw the light coming from the low wall:

The light comes on next door.

Sun Fuling is back?

He Lingchuan quickly fetched water to wash his face and rinse his mouth, and then smoothed his hair that was frizzy in the wind, then he leaned on the low wall and knocked on the tiles:

"Is Master Sun at home?"

"Not here."

"..."

With a creak, Sun Fuling pushed open the door and came out. She was dressed in white and her hair was half wet.

She raised her head and looked at He Lingchuan. The moonlight shone on her beautiful face like jade, giving it a hazy glow.

He Lingchuan immediately remembered the moonlight that night at the Yuan Kingdom's former site, which was also so shining.

"What's going on?" Sun Fuling waited for him for a while, then she had to ask.

"I thought you weren't here tonight."

"I was supposed to be on duty at Shuqin Academy tonight, but a command order came in the evening, requiring the academy to take a temporary holiday, so I came back." Sun Fuling sighed, "Is there going to be another war? Before every battle, Let the students go home and reunite with their families.”

He Lingchuan nodded.

"Then when will you leave?"

"It will be soon, maybe tomorrow, or in two days." He Lingchuan scratched his head, "It depends on the clock to give the order."

The wall fell silent.

After a long time, Sun Fuling said "Oh": "Is it so fast?"

"Yes." He Lingchuan stared at her, "Would you like to say hello to me?"

He pointed to the wine jar in the corner of the courtyard. Sun Fuling shook his head: "You smell too much. Be careful if you drink too much and you won't be able to get up tomorrow. We'll have tea instead of the bar."

With that said, she went back to the house to get some tea and an iron kettle, and jumped over the wall.

"This is a gift from a student. Her family is a tea farmer in Chipa Baiyuan. She gave me the first batch of spring tea picked in the garden this year."

He Lingchuan moved the stove into the courtyard and set it in water to make tea.

"You've heard a lot of rumors about the relocation order in the city these days, right?"

"Yes, there are discussions everywhere." Sun Fuling sat down, "I didn't expect that the monarch would rather take the risk and accept aid from a foreign country. It's clear that we are not at the end of our rope yet."

"Not yet?"

"No, there are at least two lines of King Qin's troops near the capital, as well as the Royal Forest Guards." Sun Fuling said lightly, "It boasts of unparalleled combat power, but I don't think it's very good. Otherwise, why not use them at this time?"

"After all, it is the capital of the country. These forces have to defend the capital fortress. They can't take the initiative to go out and suppress the enemy, right?"

"These armies haven't fought in 20 or 30 years. Who knows if they can still fight."

He Lingchuan knew that the residents of Panlong, including herself, hated their mother country, so he quickly changed the subject and told some anecdotes.

Sun Fuling also shared the daily life in Shuqin Academy.

As we chatted, the night got darker.

The street preaching ended long ago. The road outside was quiet, and no footsteps passed by for a long time.

At this moment, strange noises came from the neighbor's house.

The bungalow in the market place was too small, and the sound insulation effect was poor, so every sound reached their ears without missing a beat.

He Lingchuan thought of the ventriloquist performances he heard in Shihuancheng, but they didn't seem to be this intense. The quality of the neighbor's bed wasn't very good either, and it squeaked hoarsely.

Sun Fuling's smile slowly faded.

Creaky.

The two looked at each other in silence, neither knowing what to say.

Creaky.

Why did you choose this night? He Lingchuan listened carefully for a few times and found out that the guy next door had a good waist and was not as short as he looked on the surface.

People cannot be judged by their appearance.
