Chapter 620
The speaker has no intention, but the listener can download the TXT with intention. It sounds like Ning Guo is very anxious to negotiate peace with himself. Why is this? Tang Yin picked up the cup again and toasted to each other with Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi. Then with a bright and harmless smile on his face, he asked as if chatting: "How is Prince Ning doing lately?"
After two glasses of strong wine, Shi Tinghan was already a little tipsy. His face was rosy, and without thinking, he smiled and replied: "Everything is well with my king."
"Oh! That's good." It seems that there is no problem with Prince Ning. Tang Yin rolled his eyes and asked: "How is the war in the north of your country? It is said that Du Ji's invasion was very fierce."
Shi Tinghan nodded and said: "Du Ji's invasion did cause our country to suffer a big loss at the beginning, but now our country's more than 200,000 Central Army troops have rushed to the north and reversed the disadvantage. After all, Du Ji is a small country with few people. , We are short of supplies and we probably won’t be able to hold on for long.”
What he said was similar to what Tang Yin learned. Tang Yin continued to probe downwards and asked: "Master Shi, General Yuan Hong was seriously injured a while ago. I wonder how he is recovering now?"
Seeing Tang Yin asking about the eldest son Yuanhong again, Shi Tinghan, who had been answering fluently just now, began to hesitate again. He forced a smile and said cheerfully: "It's okay, it's okay, it's nothing serious."
Tang Yin was so smart that there was no dust in his eyes, but Shi Tinghan's sudden change in demeanor could not be hidden from his eyes. He picked up the wine glass again and said with a smile: "It's good that nothing is wrong. This will make me feel at ease." After speaking, he raised his glass and said: "Master Shi, Master Qin, do it!"
"Do it!" Unable and daring to shirk Tang Yin's toast, Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi drank another drink. This time, both of them were a little dizzy.
Tang Yin deliberately sighed and said quietly: "Although General Yuanhong and I have different positions and different camps, we have sympathy for each other. After the negotiation is reached, I will go to Ningguo to visit him and take the opportunity to ask him for advice. One or two.”
Hearing what he said, Shi Tinghan was filled with emotions. What kind of general can be called a famous general? It must be like Changsun Yuanhong, who can not only make his own soldiers sincerely admire him, but also convince his enemies and opponents. Even Tang Yin, the monarch of Feng Kingdom, respected General Yuan Hong so much, which shows his extraordinary ability. But the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable Shi Tinghan felt. The fate of such a general and a famous general was hanging by a thread. If Changsun Yuanhong had three shortcomings, it would undoubtedly break one of Ning Guo's arms! Thinking of this, Shi Tinghan felt sad in his heart, his eyes became hot, and tears rolled in his eyes.
Seeing his tearful look, Tang Yin was stunned. Could it be that something happened to Changsun Yuanhong? Thinking of this, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated and his nerves became tense, but he did not show any signs of it and asked pretending to be concerned: "Master Shi, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, nothing!" Shi Tinghan touched the corner of his eyes with his sleeve and waved his hand at the same time.
His expression said it was nothing, but even a fool could see that he was lying. Tang Yin sneered in his heart, but on the surface he still looked concerned. He suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, our army's military doctor Su Yelei, Dr. Su, has ancestral Jinchuang medicine, which is very useful. Waiting for you to return home." I just happened to take some away and give them to General Yuan Hong. It will definitely help his injury." As he spoke, he raised his hand and said to Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao behind him: "Please hurry up and ask Su. The medical officer comes here!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Shangguan Yuanbiao agreed and made a gesture to walk out.
Seeing this, Shi Tinghan waved his hands hurriedly and choked with sobs: "No... no need."
Tang Yin asked: "What?"
Shi Tinghan stood up, bowed deeply to Tang Yin, and said, "I would like to thank the king for Yuan Hong, but... General Yuan Hong no longer needs the golden medicine..."
Tang Yin was stunned and said blankly: "Why is this? Has General Yuan Hong's wound been healed?" After hearing this, the other generals in the tent raised their heads and looked at Shi Tinghan. Did Changsun Yuanhong's injury heal so quickly? This is incredible, and this is definitely bad news for our own side.
Shi Tinghan shook his head repeatedly. The tears in his eyes could no longer be suppressed and flowed down. He said intermittently: "It's... General Yuanhong's injury has worsened and he has become ill from overwork. I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's been a long time." Not much!”
"What?" This sentence shocked everyone present, including Tang Yin. As soon as Shi Tinghan finished speaking, the cup in Tang Yin's hand was slapped heavily on the table, and he stood up straight, his eyes shot out two rays of lightning, staring straight at Shi Tinghan, without speaking for a long time.
Changsun Yuanhong is dying. If this is really the case, then our plan to advance westward and destroy Ning will come to light again. However, is this true? Tang Yin's wide eyes slowly narrowed, and his clenched fists unclenched and then clenched again.
Unexpectedly, Tang Yin would have such a big reaction. Shi Tinghan was stunned. He looked up at Tang Yin with a confused face and stammered: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... what are you..."
Tang Yin took a deep breath, stood up and slowly sat down again. He snorted heavily and said in a feigned displeasure: "Although I have fought against General Yuan Hong several times on the battlefield, I have also I admire General Yuan Hong’s talent from the bottom of my heart. Even if Mr. Shi is the envoy for the peace talks, if he dares to curse General Yuan Hong unabashedly, don’t blame me for turning against him! "
Shi Tinghan was full of injustice. Why did he curse the eldest son Yuanhong? What I just said is obviously the truth. Besides, I don’t want eldest son Yuanhong to die of illness! He turned to the side, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, even if I have the courage, I would not dare to curse General Yuanhong to death! What I have said is the truth. Please be aware of it, Your Majesty!"
"Impossible!" Tang Yin said with a cold face, "General Yuanhong Lingwu is so powerful, how can a mere stab wound be fatal?"
Shi Tinghan said hurriedly: "This is what I saw with my own eyes, and there is absolutely no lie. Moreover, General Yuan Hong's injury is much more serious than the rumors, and he has no time to recuperate. He has been managing the army personally." The injuries have worsened due to overwork, medium and large affairs, and now...now he is terminally ill! Ugh..." At this point, Shi Tinghan couldn't help crying on the ground, and Tan Yi on the side also kept wiping tears. .
Now Tang Yin could see that Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi were definitely not acting. People's expressions can pretend to be sad, but the emotions naturally revealed cannot be faked. It seems that Changsun Yuanhong is indeed critically ill. . Thinking of this, Tang Yin raised the corner of his mouth, and then said seriously: "Master Shi and Master Qin are both drunk. Come, send these two adults to the camp to rest, and take good care of them!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Following Tang Yin's words, four guards walked in from outside, helped Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi, turned around and walked out.
"Your Majesty, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk..." The banquet was only halfway through, and the key peace negotiations had not yet been finalized. Of course, Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi couldn't leave like this. However, Tang Yin didn't give them a chance to talk at all. While waving his hand, he said, "Let's talk about the peace tomorrow!"
"Your Majesty..."
Shi Tinghan still wanted to speak, but the two guards who supported him forced him out of the Chinese military tent.
After Shi and Tan left for a long time, the quiet tent suddenly exploded with a bang like a pot exploding. People's expressions were all surprised and happy, and they were talking among themselves. Changsun Yuanhong is critically ill. This is great news. As long as Changsun Yuanhong dies, no matter how powerful Ning Guo's navy is, it will not be able to stop our own army.
Xiao Muqing walked up to Tang Yin with a smile on her face and asked excitedly: "My lord, do you think this is true or false?"
Tang Yin's eyes flickered and he looked at Xiao Muqing and asked, "Mu Qing, do you think Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi are lying?"
"This..." Xiao Muqing thought about it seriously, then slowly shook his head and said, "The general doesn't think it's the case."
"Yes! I feel the same way." Tang Yin held his chin and fell into thought.
Xiao Muqing rolled his eyes, suddenly remembered something, and asked urgently: "Was the sword that the king wounded the eldest son Yuanhong heavy?" The sword in the back of eldest son Yuanhong was stabbed by Tang Yin. Will he become critically ill as a result? Nature has the most say.
The question he asked was exactly what Tang Yin was thinking about. He murmured: "Although that knife was not fatal, it contained the fire of darkness. Although Changsun Yuanhong was able to offset the fire of darkness that entered his body with spiritual burning, he would definitely suffer severe injuries if he did so. If an ordinary person suffered internal injuries, there would be no chance of survival, but with Changsun Yuanhong’s profound cultivation, I really can’t say whether he can survive.”
Tang Yin has never met anyone who survived the fire of darkness, and now he doesn't know what to do.
Xiao Muqing said thoughtfully: "The fire of darkness is fatal enough if it enters the body. If the fire of darkness is put into the body again, even if the fire of darkness is offset, it will only add to the injury. Moreover, Changsun Yuanhong is critically ill." And since Shi and Tan saw it with their own eyes, I think this must be absolutely true."
"Yes! What General Xiao said makes sense!" At this time, other generals gathered around and nodded to express their agreement with Xiao Muqing's statement.
One or two people said this, and Tang Yin might still have doubts in his heart, but with everyone saying this, Tang Yin's doubts were gradually dispelled, and he was convinced that the eldest son Yuanhong was indeed critically ill. He put his hands behind his back, couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said, "God help me!"
As he spoke, he suddenly stopped smiling, looked around at the generals in front of him, and said seriously: "Tonight, our army will fight it again across the river!"
"Ah?" After hearing this, everyone was shocked and asked one after another: "How will the king attack? Where will our army attack?"
Tang Yin chuckled and asked: "Where was our army defeated last time?"
"It's a place twenty miles away from the south camp!" Everyone replied blankly.
"If you were on the west bank of the Zhang River now, would you still guard the place where our army had just been defeated?" Tang Yin narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.
