Xia Lingcang listened to Baihua's words and did not speak. Among the three armies, the local armies, although they are the most numerous, are the weakest. This may sound like a contradiction, but in reality, it is not.

In fact, in this Nanqing army, it seems that the three forces are not compatible, but in real terms, it is because the local armies of the 12 cities have their own commanders. Xia Lingcang, the nominal general of the local army, is actually no different from these local military commanders. In general, whether in the eyes of others or in his own eyes, his identity is one level lower than Liu Dabeard and Xie Xunxiong. He did...... It's unwilling.

"The commander of the Twelve Cities, I have already asked people to do it in the name of the Hundred Flowers Palace, and now, as long as General Xia, you make a statement...... It's all at your fingertips! Baihua saw that Xia Lingcang didn't speak, so he said again.

Xia Lingcang still didn't say yes or no, but turned to look at Baihua, "I want to know, how sure can General Shi hold Jinling?" ”

Baihua didn't expect Xia Lingcang to ask such a question, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. This heard Xia Lingcang continue: "If this Yangzhou City can't be defended, even if I am a real local military commander, it will only be a dream in danger...... If so, it makes no difference between doing and not doing. ”

Baihua suddenly smiled, "I didn't expect General Xia to think a lot." ”

"It's not that I think too much, if he Shiyuan can really hold Yangzhou, even if I don't be the commander of this local army, there is nothing. If he can't keep it...... It's the same for everyone. Xia Lingcang paused when he said this, "And, according to my inference, the form of this capital city should be very unoptimistic, right?" There is Qinglian Sect in the south, and Beiqing in the north...... I'm afraid this Nanqing won't last long! ”

Xia Lingcang's words can already be said to be quite bold. However, Baihua did not answer, but nodded, "That's right! Nanqing really won't last long, but ...... Jinling is still there! ”

Baihua's words were quite vague, but an old fox like Xia Lingcang immediately understood the meaning of her words: she was hinting again that Shi Yuan would replace Nanqing!

"I didn't expect the dignified palace master of the Jinyi Palace to say this. That is the case, it seems that I, Xia Lingcang, have no choice! ”

"That's true! Yesterday, I believe you also saw the weapon in General Shi's hand, as well as the sound of Fang Cai...... Therefore, it is still unknown whether the Beiqing army can reach Yangzhou City! ”

Baihua's words couldn't help but make Xia Lingcang's heart move: Can't the Beiqing army reach Yangzhou City? But then he shook his head, "Although the weapon in General Shi's hand is powerful, it is only stronger than a bow and arrow, and even if he can blow up the city gate...... But the march and the war are no more than anything else. The weapon in the hand is the utensil after all, and the real difference between victory and defeat still depends on strategy! ”

"Strategy? General Xia, maybe you don't know him well. After a pause, "He's the kind of person who makes people completely unpredictable......"

Baihua's eyes were a little misty when he said this, and Xia Lingcang on the side couldn't help frowning when he saw him dressed in men's clothes: That General Shi, is there any special habit?

After a short period of confusion, Baihua reacted again, calmed down, and said to Xia Lingcang: "Since this is the case, General Xia, you can go down and pack up the people!" The inspectors outside the northern city, I'm afraid...... It's a bit of a hassle! ”

Outside the north of Yangzhou City, Shi Yuan looked at the empty open space, and didn't know what to say for a while. Although this scene was expected by him...... But now seeing such a scene, he is still a little annoyed! It seems that these people don't take themselves seriously at all!

"Brother Shi, this ...... Why don't we go back? Qiao Cannon on the side seemed to be aware of Shi Yuan's suppressed anger, so he asked in a low voice.

Before Shi Yuan could reply, Liuli on the side added fuel to the fire and said, "Brother-in-law, it seems that you, the general of Pingnan, are very unlucky!" He also said that he would bring me to inspect the army today, tsk...... What a pity! After saying that, she actually shook her head pretendedly!

Qiao Cannon saw it in his eyes, his heart was anxious, and he hurriedly looked at Shi Yuan, "Brother Shi, don't be angry, let's go back and arrange it again!" ”

"Brother Qiao, you don't have to worry, this kind of thing won't make me angry! And...... I've already made arrangements in the city! It just so happens that I have something to do, so you can wait here! ”

After Shi Yuan finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Liuli, "Little Liuli, come with me!" ”

"I'm not going!" Liuli, who thought she would be full of promises, refused without thinking about it at this time, "It must be some boring thing, you want me to be your bodyguard...... Go yourself! ”

Liuli's tone made Shi Yuan a little embarrassed, but at this time, anything can happen in Yangzhou City. Therefore, he finally chose to compromise, "Liuli, alas, even if I beg you, come with me!" ”

Liuli had also been explained by Baihua before, in fact, even if Shi Yuan didn't say so, she would still follow in the end. I didn't expect Shi Yuan to beg her, which made Liuli feel slightly proud.

Seeing that Liuli agreed, Shi Yuan drove his horse forward...... He wanted to worship Lin Yingyue's mother. This is also what Lin Yingyue specially explained before leaving.

Shi Yuan didn't know where Lin Yingyue's mother's grave was, and kept following the route Lin Yingyue said and walked into a bamboo forest. Only then did I see a cemetery, and the stone tablet in front of the tomb read: The tomb of Jun Yan in the Yan Kaolin Mansion. The inscription reads: The unfilial daughter Lin Yingyue stood in Daqing Kant for 12 years, and then briefly wrote about her life......

Needless to say, this must be the cemetery of Lin Yingyue's mother. It wasn't until now that Shi Yuan knew why there were so many bamboos planted in Lin Yingyue's yard...... This is probably what her mother loved!

Liuli also clearly saw the words on the tombstone, and she also had several relationships with Lin Yingyue, but because of the relationship between her senior sister Baihua, she didn't have a good feeling. Of course, it's not annoying.

"It's all like this, and you're still in the mood to do this kind of thing." Liuli looked at Shi Yuan, who was kneeling in front of the tomb, and muttered in a low voice.

Although Shi Yuan heard clearly, he didn't reply, but knocked three songs at the tombstone. It wasn't until he was done that he stood up again and smiled at Liuli beside him, "Little Liuli, have you ever thought about your master?" ”

Liuli was asked by Shi Yuan, stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously, and muttered: "I don't know why, since I came out of the mountain, I often think of Master, and I always feel ...... I guess I forgot something......"
