Chapter 365: Race Against Time
Lingyang Jun drank a bowl of wine, put down the wine bowl, and said: "Although this Qin Qunian is very smart, I have never underestimated him, but no matter how smart he is, he has a belly of intrigues and tricks, and he will not have time unless he flies over." Moreover, our soldiers have been fighting for days and days, and they are already exhausted, so they must always rest, even if we set off overnight, we still have to rest tomorrow, and that is the same, sharpening knives and cutting wood. ”
Yu Congjun also picked up the wine bowl, drank half of it, and sighed: "I hope so." ”
Li Chongshan said at this time: "Then will our five-way soldiers and horses go straight to the Heavenly Fire Sect tomorrow?"
Lingyang Jun said: "Originally, I planned to divide it into two parts, one of them went straight to the Tianhuo Sect, and the other went to the Yandu North Thistle, and the two-pronged approach was to capture the Yan King alive, and it was foolproof." But I have now received a tip-off that the Heavenly Fire Sect has not moved yet, and has not transferred the alchemy furnace, and the Heavenly Fire Sect is close, and it can be reached in one day and one night, so I plan that we will go straight to the Heavenly Fire Sect, anyway, by the way. ”
Li Chongshan said: "What if they haven't started refining the Eye of Heaven yet, or if the hairpin of the Son of Heaven hasn't been sent over? After all, everything is just our speculation, so aren't we working in vain?"
Lingyang Jun said: "Then it depends on the will of heaven! Even if the hairpin of the Son of Heaven is sent over, we can also take the opportunity to destroy the Tianhuo Sect and rob them of their medicinal materials, after all, their medicinal materials have also been looted for thousands of years, so that they will no longer have the possibility of refining the Eye of Heaven, so that our Shandong Five Kingdoms can sit back and relax." ”
Xin Weijun said: "Yes, rob them, rob them all, snatch their pants, so that they have no heart." I also want to snatch Qin Qunian's scorched soul remnant sword by the way, then our trip will be perfect. ”
Lingyang Jun said: "Then when your Zhao army goes north, go to Qin Qunian to grab the scorched soul remnant sword, we won't be red!"
Xin Weijun said with a smile: "I'll just talk casually and play, no matter how important the scorched soul remnant sword is, it's not as important as the eye of the sky! I can't lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds! Come on, come on, drink!"
After speaking, he began to push the cup and change the lamp, and began to imagine a better future while drinking.
Because of happiness, several people drank until the middle of the night, the head of the drink was groggy, and the more they drank, the more they talked, although Lingyang Jun and Xin Weijun had fought to the death in the ghost city of Yinxu, and the hatred was as deep as the sea, but a few glasses of wine were delicious, and they were as close as friends.
But at this moment, a sentry shouted from outside the tent: "Report-"
A few people didn't expect that there would be intelligence in the middle of the night, disturbing their Yaxing, but after all, they were marching and fighting, although their heads were dizzy, they were also able to carry the weight.
Ling Yangjun said loudly with drunkenness: "Come in!"
The sentry walked in, holding a letter in his hand, walked up to Lingyang-kun, and handed it to him.
Lingyangjun took the letter, waved his hand lazily, and the sentry retreated.
Lingyangjun shook his head to make his head clearer, but after shaking it a few times, it seemed to be useless, so he opened the letter, unfolded the letter, and looked at it by the dim candlelight, with a drunken face, feeling that his eyes couldn't be opened, and he was drowsy.
As a result, before I finished reading a letter, it seemed that a basin of cold water was poured from my head, and my head, which was still groggy just now, couldn't wake up no matter how I shook it, and it was like beating chicken blood in an instant, extremely sober, and my eyes, which had already narrowed into a slit, opened up in an instant.
The other four saw that something was wrong, and they all stared at him tightly.
Yu Congjun said: "What's the matter?"
After reading the letter, Lingyang Jun was a little depressed, and muttered: "The Qin army has entered the customs!"
As soon as the four of them heard this, they all woke up from the wine, as if they had encountered a thunderbolt from the sky.
Xin Weijun jumped up all of a sudden, and said hurriedly: "Qin ...... The Qin army entered the customs? Flying...... Flew over?"
Lingyang Jun said: "As you guessed, the defenders of Zhenbei Pass took the initiative to open the city gate and let them in." ”
Xin Weijun hurriedly said: "What...... What did I guess? I was mocking him, can't you hear it? The Yan army in the south fought so bravely, preferring to die rather than surrender, why did the Yan army in the north be so cowardly? They actually took the initiative to open the city gate? The Yan army in the north and south were separated?
Lingyang Jun said: "It may be that Yan Guo and Qin Qunian have cooperated, it is believed that the defenders of Zhenbei Pass have been transferred to Beiji, leaving only an empty pass, and leaving a lot of grain and grass for the Qin army, so that the Qin army can eat and drink a lot, then it must be their cooperation." ”
Xin Weijun was shocked: "King Yan's brain is in the water? We are here to fight him, Qin Qunian is also here to fight him, our soldiers are still more than Qin Qunian's soldiers, besides, we are still old allies for many years, he doesn't cooperate with us, he goes to cooperate with Qin Qunian, his brain is sick?"
Yu Congjun sighed lightly at this time and said: "King Yan also sent an envoy to communicate with us, didn't he talk about cutting the land and suing for peace? But we can't cooperate with him, we are here to grab the Eye of Heaven, and the army must come in, so we must refuse him." Now that he is being beaten by us, Qin Qunian said that he wanted to enter the customs to help him, but he is now desperate, so he can only agree to lead the wolf and drive the tiger. ”
Lingyang Jun said: "That's right, it's because we fought too quickly and fiercely, and pushed Yan Guo to a dead end, so we made this decision, if we don't move and let Qin Qunian fight first, the result may not be like this." ”
Xin Weijun said: "In other words, we worked hard for a few days, but instead made a wedding dress for Qin Qunian?"
Lingyang Jun said: "That's right. ”
Xin Weijun tilted his head, his face twitched, and said: "We fought so hard, and we let us do all the things of the wicked, but we didn't get any benefits, and he can not only pretend to be a good person, but also drive into the customs for a long time, not only to be a bitch, but also to set up an archway? Can it be understood that way?"
Lingyang Jun said: "It can be understood in this way. ”
Xin Weijun said: "I want to vomit blood." ”
Why didn't the other four want to vomit blood? They fought bloodily for so many days, suffering countless casualties, but in the end, they let their family steal the fruits of their revolution, and the key is that this person is still their enemy. The most unbearable thing was that they were still sitting at the celebration banquet, and they had just laughed at the man who had stolen their fruits.
The four princes, there are three of them here, all of them are characters with heads and faces, they used to be pitted by Qu Nian alone, and that's it, now the three of them are making suggestions together, oh no, they also sent two, a total of five people gave advice, or let Qin Qu Nian give a hand, the depression in his heart can be imagined, and he can wring out water on his face.
Yu Congjun was still calm, and then asked, "Where are the 500,000 Qin troops going now?"
Lingyang Jun said: "After entering Zhenbei Pass, I have been going south, and my whereabouts are unknown, I must have gone to the Heavenly Fire Sect!"
"That's 100 percent. This bastard, he likes to do this kind of sneaky hookup, and he can think of it with his ass, they must have gone to the Tianhuo Sect. ”
Yu Congjun said: "At first, if you believed me, it would be good, set off overnight, we should be able to reach the Heavenly Fire Sect in front of them, and now we have wasted a few hours in vain." ”
Xin Weijun said: "What's the use of saying this now? Who would have thought that this dog would be so insidious?
Yu Congjun said: "Let's set off now, move forward quickly, maybe we can catch up with them." ”
"Then what are you waiting for? What kind of wine are you drinking? Let's go quickly! If I meet this bastard, I'm going to chop him into meat sauce." ”
Lingyangjun stood up and said coldly, "Okay! Let's go now." ”
Qu Nian led 500,000 Qin troops to rush overnight, and they didn't stop until noon the next day. When the news reached Beiji, the court of Yan State sighed with emotion, these Qin troops are really righteous!
Although Qu Nian didn't want to stop, the horse under the crotch was flesh and blood after all, and after running all night, the horse was tired, passing by a small forest, Qu Nian ordered to rest in place. The reason why he rested next to the grove was because he brought the two women Cicada Xi and Yushu, and it was always convenient for him.
And Qu Nian and Chu San dared to be more casual, so they poured a soak of urine on the side of the road, and as soon as they finished shaking the guys, Wan Ting and Xie Changhong came over.
Xie Changhong said at this time: "Childe, we have now gone deep into the hinterland of Yan Kingdom, we know that what Childe is looking for is relatively confidential and inconvenient to disclose, but as generals, we must always have an understanding, at least we must know where we are going and what kind of enemies we will encounter, and we can prepare in advance." Running south like this, he is about to meet the Five Nations Alliance, does Childe really plan to fight a decisive battle with the Five Nations Alliance?"
Qu Nian said: "How is it possible? Am I so stupid? Take my soldiers of the Qin State to work for the Yan Kingdom? We are going to the Heavenly Fire Sect!"
The faces of the two changed.
Xie Changhong said: "Tianhuo Sect, is the thing that Gongzi is looking for the Eye of Heaven?"
Qu Nian smiled: "I think you are crazy with the eye of the sky." If there really is an Eye of Heaven, will the Yan Kingdom put the Eye of Heaven in the Heavenly Fire Sect and wait for us to get it?"
Xie Changhong said: "But apart from the Eye of Heaven, there is nothing worth looking for by Gongzi Xingshi." Moreover, the five kingdoms of Shandong crusaded against the Yan Kingdom for no reason, probably for the eye of the sky, otherwise they would have no reason to work so hard!"
Qu Nian felt that this Xie Changhong was very smart, and with a little hint, he could deduce the ins and outs of the matter, but he didn't want to admit it, after all, there were many people here, and the more people who knew this secret, the worse it was. Then he said, "You think too much! I just went to the Heavenly Fire Sect to look for a few medicinal herbs. ”
Xie Changhong was stunned and said, "Medicinal materials, what medicinal materials are so precious, so that Gongzi attaches so much importance to them?"
Qu Nian said: "Medicinal materials that can prolong life." Once you get the medicinal herbs, it is not a problem to live for another thirty or fifty years. ”
Xie Changhong nodded and said, "I see." It's a good thing! No wonder Childe takes it so seriously. ”
Qu Nian said with a smile: "You guys work hard, and you can drink some soup in the future." ”
Xie Changhong hurriedly said: "Thank you, son!"
Wan Ting said, "Is this reliable? If this medicinal herb can really live for another thirty or fifty years, wouldn't it have been boiled into pots and pots of soup by the people of the Heavenly Fire Sect and drunk long ago?"
Qu Nian glanced at him and said, "Do you really think it's as simple as boiling into soup? Even if you boil soup, you need a lot of medicinal materials to boil together, and the most important one is on me." ”
Wan Ting nodded and said, "I see! Then the soup will be boiled, and the son must give me two sips to drink, I found that I have aged very fast in the past two years, and I have more than enough snacks in bed but not enough strength. ”
Qu Nian said: "No problem. ”
Cicada Xi and Yushu walked over at this time. Cicada Xi asked, "Young Master Qin, why didn't you see Lord He come back?"
Qu Nian said: "I have already explained to him that he will return to Qin State the same way after finishing his work, and now he has no use value." ”
Cicada Xi said: "Then will Yan Guo not let him go?"
Qu Nian said: "No! Since Yan Guo let us enter the customs, it means that they regard us as saviors, and our envoys are also envoys of the Shangguo, and they dare not be embarrassed." ”
Cicada Xi nodded and said, "That's good!"
Qu Nian said: "Take this opportunity, you should also take a good rest, and we will leave in half an hour!"
Cicada Xi smiled: "We're not tired, just let the horse eat some grass." ”
But at this moment, there was a chirping of an eagle falcon in the sky, which was crisp and pleasant. When everyone looked up, they saw a flashing blue eagle appear in the sky, circled a few times, and then swooped down and landed on Xie Changhong's shoulder.
Xie Changhong took the letter from the eagle's leg, unfolded it, his face changed, and he handed the letter to Qu Nian.
Wan Ting couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
Xie Changhong said: "The Five Nations Alliance has broken through the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, and it went north overnight last night, and the direction seems to be the Heavenly Fire Sect!"
Wan Ting was stunned and said, "Then they must also want to grab this medicinal material, and want to live thirty or fifty years longer than us?"
Xie Changhong said: "It should be?"
Wan Ting said: "Then where are these bastards now?"
Xie Changhong said: "It is estimated that you will be able to reach the Heavenly Fire Sect tonight!"
Wan Ting shouted and said, "Bring the map." ”
After reading the letter at this time, Qu Nian said: "No need to take the map, I know better where the Tianhuo Sect is, we don't delay now, we should be able to rush to the Tianhuo Sect before him." ”
Wan Ting was also anxious to live for thirty or fifty more years, and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go now!"
Xie Changhong looked worried and said, "I'm afraid that our war horses will not be physically strong!"
Qu Nian said: "We're okay, although we have gone through a long journey, but our war horses rested for a day and a night yesterday, you feel as if they are tired, it's no problem to run for a few more days, the war horses of the Five Nations Alliance are tired, we are tired, they will only be more tired, it depends on who can last until the last moment." ”
Wan Ting said: "That's right, the horse ran dead, just run with them on two legs, whether it is a person or a horse, my Qin State has never been afraid, after all, it has an extra thirty or fifty years of life, why don't you run?"
Qu Nian said: "That's okay, then let's go! We must rush to the Heavenly Fire Sect before them, otherwise we will fall short, and even lose our lives!"
