1But it seemed as if something had happened. At least the two of them now felt completely different from each other, as if they were closer by a bit, and more concerned and attentive to each other. From the looks of it, they were more like a intended family members.
The quick change in the relationship between Tang Yin and Ling Shuang surprised the soldiers of the Wind Jade Army, but everyone was happy, the princes of the two countries were getting closer and closer, then the relationship between the two countries would naturally develop more smoothly.
Whether it was in terms of Feng Country or the current situation, everyone hoped that the alliance between the wind and jade would continue to stabilize over the long term.
Before Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen had rushed to the Zhenjiang, news suddenly came from the Zhenjiang camp. The commander of the original Zhenjiang Navy, Gao Hang, and the general of the original East Sea's water master, Gong Wen Dao, had led two armies of water masters to descend and gather outside of the Zhenjiang camp, asking Tang Yin to decide what to do.
Hearing the news that Gao Hang had come down on his own accord, the General of Feng Country s were all shocked. Without waiting for the bystanders to speak to Tang Yin, Sun Bing and the two generals immediately expressed to Tang Yin that they definitely could not accept Gao Hang's surrender.
Gao Hang had a blood feud with his side, the entire army of a hundred thousand water soldiers had been wiped out by Gao Hang alone. At that time, if it wasn't for Sun Bing and his determination, even if they were to fight to the death, they would have been killed by Gao Hang.
Towards Gao Hang, they were both afraid and afraid. Moreover, with Gao Hang's ability, if he really was accepted by the Feng Country, the position of the water army general between them would not be preserved either.
In the Zhenjiang battle this time, although the water army that was led by Sun Bing and Xu Yan was ruined, and almost lost their lives as well, Tang Yin not only did not blame the two of them, he even rewarded them with a great deal of points, and gave them the respective titles of Middle General.
The reason was simple, although they had lost the battle, it was not shameful to lose. They had unleashed the aura of Feng Army that was more akin to shattering jade, and most importantly, they had succeeded in attracting the Zhenjiang army led by Gao Hang, paving the way for the smooth smuggling of Pingyuan Army and Feiyu Army. It could be said that since Feng Army was able to take down the entire Mo Country Capital in one go, even if Sun Bing and Xu Yan's contributions weren't at the top of the list, they were still among the top.
Tang Yin still valued the opinions of the two of them. However, if they were to reject Gao Hang's surrender, it would be too much of a pity. He pondered for a long time, and in the end, still decided to meet Gao Hang.
Tang Yin's orders were spread to the Zhenjiang Battalion, and after that, the main general of the Zhenjiang Battalion passed Tang Yin's orders to the remaining soldiers of the water army.
Seeing Tang Yin's decree, it was not clear that he wanted to accept Gao Hang and the others as their captive. As long as Gao Hang went to the Zhenjiang to bear the consequences, Gong Wen Dao, who was once under his command, advised worriedly, "General, from what I see, Feng King wants to kill the general. The general absolutely does not want to be tricked, he cannot go to the Zhenjiang!"
Gao Hang laughed bitterly, although Zhenjiang Navy and water masters from the Eastern Ocean were now united, with a total of more than a hundred thousand people in the army, and nearly a thousand large and small warships, but all the counties with Mo Country had already fallen into the hands of the Feng Country, and their own army had already become a lone army. Over a hundred thousand brothers needed to eat and drink everyday, but where did the food come from? Where did the pay come from? Without the land supporting him, how could his huge navy support him? He heaved a long sigh and said, "If I can use my life in exchange for the lives of the entire army, it would be worth it!"
"General ?" Gong Wen Dao became anxious and said with a trembling voice, "Feng Ren hates General to the bone, General's trip this time will definitely be disastrous. Please don't!"
Gao Hang waved his hand, and said: "If my Zhenjiang is truly unable to return this time, and I do not have any intention of accepting my troops, Wen Dao, you can let all the brothers who want to return home to live a safe life leave. If there are still brothers that do not wish to leave, you ? However, there are many islands in the East China Sea that will lead them away. Even though pirates are wreaking havoc here, I believe with your abilities, you can definitely lead your brothers and conquer this land. "
After hearing that, Gong Wen Dao cried on the spot. He held onto Gao Hang's sleeves choked with sobs and said while wiping his tears: "Why didn't General bring us along? As long as the general is here, the hearts of the warriors will not disperse. No matter where we go, we will not dishonor the name of our great water master! "
Gao Hang shook his head and said: "Leaving one's home is not something that I wish for, nor is it what all the other brothers wish me to do. That is a method that I truly have no other choice in the end, as long as there is still a sliver of hope, I must strive hard to let the warriors stay in my homeland and reunite with my family.
Since he said all this, Gong Wen Dao was no longer able to persuade him. The latter said, "If the general insists on going, let me accompany him!"
"No way!" Gao Hang rejected bluntly, and said sternly: "There must be someone in charge in the army, I will go alone, and even if there is an accident, with you here, if you and I were to travel together, and if we were to die together in Zhenjiang, wouldn't over a hundred thousand of brothers fall to their deaths?"
It was a principle, but Gong Wen Dao couldn't bear to see Gao Hang's sheep entering the tiger's mouth.
In the end, Gao Hang did not accept Gong Wen Dao's persuasion. Riding on a small boat, only bringing a row of sailors, he left his side of the water army and headed towards the Zhenjiang camp that was already occupied by the Feng Army.
The main general of the Zhenjiang Army had never thought that Gao Hang would actually obey the orders of the King and come here alone.
When Gao Hang arrived, the Feng Army Master actually wasn't prepared enough. He was at a loss on what to do, not knowing whether to tie him up and escort him to Zhenjiang to denounce him of his crimes, or to invite him to Zhenjiang with the ceremony.
After thinking about it, since the other party had taken the initiative to come here, he shouldn't appear too stingy either. The Feng Army Master had sent a large group of people to 'escort' Gao Hang to the Zhenjiang. The Zhenjiang camp to the Zhenjiang City was very close, and the journey was only more than two hours.
Very quickly, Gao Hang was' escorted 'by the numerous Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army s to the inside of the Zhenjiang City and straight to the entrance of the palace.
Gao Hang, who was sitting inside the horse carriage lifted the curtains and looked out. Seeing the majestic and vast palace standing right in front of him, he sighed in his heart. Not long ago, this was still the Mo Country's palace, and it had been doing so for thousands of years. But after just a few days, the Mo Country had passed, and the palace had also fallen into the hands of the Feng Army. Looking at the surroundings of the palace, the guards there were all wearing black armor, and they had red hair.
Sigh! Who would have thought that they would end up in such a miserable state? Who the hell was going through this? Thinking about it, Gao Hang slowly put down the carriage's curtain, and leaned against the carriage wall, sighing towards the sky.
The palace guards spread the news to the palace and reported it to Tang Yin. When the latter heard it, he did not even raise his head to say yes, and just remained silent.
The Generals And Soldiers s below were anxious. Now that Gao Hang had arrived, they had a chance to see if he was dead or alive, the King had to say something!
Thinking that Tang Yin did not hear the guard's report clearly, Sun Bing and Xu Yan looked at each other, then walked out of the procession and cupped their hands in greeting towards Tang Yin, reminding him in a low voice: "Great King, Gao Hang has already been brought to the palace entrance!"
"Yes!" Tang Yin's gaze was still fixed on the zither, his eyelids did not raise at all, but he still replied vaguely with a casual tone.
"Then... Does the King see you or not? " Sun Bing asked impatiently.
Tang Yin finally put down the report in his hands, smiled at Sun Bing, and said: "It seems that General Sun is even more anxious than this duke!"
Sun Bing was shocked, he immediately lowered his head and muttered: "This lowly general does not dare."
"Since Gao Hang came here alone, it means that he really does have a wish to seek refuge ?" Tang Yin muttered to himself, then picked up his tea again, took a sip, and continued: "However, I heard that he is naturally arrogant, so let's just let him wait outside, and grind his arrogance!"
Sun Bing and Xu Yan secretly grinned, looks like the King intends to tame Gao Hang. If he wants to kill him, there is no need to waste so much effort, you can just directly behead him. Sun Bing still wanted to speak, but at this time, Xu Yan shot him a glance, signalling him not to speak anymore. Sun Bing understood what Xu Yan meant and helplessly shook his head. He cupped his hands and bowed to Tang Yin once more, and then retreated back to his original position with Xu Yan.
Outside the palace, the soldiers of the Zhenjiang Army had sent Gao Hang to the palace and considered it as having completed their mission. After handing him over to the guards of the palace, they left Gao Hang behind and returned to the Zhenjiang Army Camp.
The Feng Army of the Zhenjiang Army had left, but the guards did not bring Gao Hang into the palace. There wasn't even anyone who talked to him, and he was just left outside by himself.
It was already the middle of summer and the weather was hot. Gao Hang stood alone under the sun for only a short while, drenched in sweat.
He did not understand what Feng Army meant by not killing him and not bringing him to see the Feng King. Just like that, he ignored them, as if he did not exist.
But then she thought about it, and understood in her heart, that this was definitely not Feng Army's intention, but rather Feng King's intention. Presumably, Feng King wanted to lower her spirit before meeting him again!
Gao Hang laughed bitterly, he had already become a general of a dead nation, how could he still have any spirit? As long as he could ensure the lives of the soldiers, he would have no regrets in his death this time.
When he thought here, he calmed himself and stood under the scorching sun with his eyes closed, completely motionless.
Seeing the beads of sweat that dripped from Gao Hang's face from time to time, the Guard of Feng Army opposing side secretly admired him in his heart.
Gao Hang stood at the entrance of the palace for nearly two hours, then a high-pitched voice came out: "Pass down the Royal Medallion, summon Gao Hang into the palace ?"
After hearing the King's orders, even the Guard of Feng Army sighed for Gao Hang. She estimated that if she continued to wait, Gao Hang would definitely die from the sun. Two guards stepped forward quickly and cupped their hands, "General Gao, the King has requested your presence!"
Gao Hang's patience and mental fortitude were worthy of admiration. Guard of Feng Army's attitude towards him was also polite, and his words were filled with admiration. Gao Hang swallowed his saliva, moistened his dry throat, and cupped his hands to the guards: I will have to trouble the two of you to lead the way.
"General Gao is polite, please come in!" While talking, the two guards moved to the side for Gao Hang to go first.
