Act 195 [Reunion]
Seeing Zhai Wenli after Ye Chen, he couldn't believe his eyes. Because in his memory, this person had died many years ago in the "Chiyan Rebellion" between Xia and Han and the Chiyan warriors.
At that time, Ye Chen was the same age as Zhai Wenli. It stands to reason that if Ye Chen was still alive until now, he would not be as young as he is now. However, Ye Chen, who appeared in front of Zhai Wenli now, did not have much change in appearance compared to twenty-one years ago.
Zhai Wenli, who was rickety in the wind and snow, showed a look of fear after seeing Ye Chen at this time: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! I remember that you are dead! At that time, I saw with my own eyes those warriors in black and blue heavy armor cut off your head. ”
Ye Chen smiled but didn't answer, but saw Zhai Wenli looking back at the warriors who surrounded him. Through their outfits, Zhai Wenli couldn't distinguish what the identity and background of these people were, so a bad idea arose.
After a brief period of panic, Zhai Wenli fell silent for a moment. He began to wonder if what was happening in front of him was true or false. The frost and snow on your face are like pins pricking, and you can feel the bitter cold.
Ye Chen didn't speak, but looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a smile. When his gaze inadvertently fell on the wound on Zhai Wenli's wrist. An inexplicable sense of sadness suddenly surged in Ye Chen's heart.
Before he could express his sympathy to Zhai Wenli, Zhai Wenli suddenly sighed and said, "So, am I already dead?" Are you going to take me out of here? ”
Zhai Wenli's words made Ye Chen stunned for a moment: "General Zhai Wenli, how can you say this?"
Zhai Wenli's face was as dead as ashes: "In my memory, you are a person who has been dead for more than 20 years, but now you have appeared in front of me in the form of more than 20 years ago. If I hadn't died, how could I have seen you here? ”
Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile and said, "General Zhai is not dead, and Ye Chen is not dead. We did come here to take the general away, not to collect the general's body. ”
After hearing Ye Chen's words, Zhai Wenli frowned slightly: "You...... Are you still alive?"
Ye Chen smiled slightly, slowly got out of the carriage, and invited Zhai Wenli to get into the carriage. Looking at the handsome boy in front of him and his appearance in Zhai Wenli's memory, Zhai Wenli said in fear: "Impossible, this is impossible!"
"In this world, nothing is impossible. Ye Chen said lightly, "I think General Zhai Wenli has already seen the Chiyan warrior with a dark blue flame tattooed on his chest, as well as some things that shouldn't exist in this world. Including me who appears in front of you now. So, is General Zhai Wenli ready? ”
Zhai Wenli looked at the young man in front of him suspiciously, and did not speak. Seeing this, Ye Chen didn't urge him. Obviously, after listening to Ye Chen's words, Zhai Wenli was really difficult to calm down his emotions for a while.
It always felt like a dream.
Just when Zhai Wenli was still thinking about the authenticity of Ye Chen's words, Ye Chen suddenly gave Zhai Wenli a condition, which directly cut off Zhai Wenli's hesitation.
His gaze fell on Zhai Wenli's broken wrist, and Zhai Wenli subconsciously showed an embarrassed look. At this time, he heard Ye Chen say: "As long as General Zhai Wenli gets into this carriage, Ye Chen has his own way to return the general's complete hands." ”
Zhai Wenli was suspicious: "Is this true?"
Ye Chen asked Zhai Wenli rhetorically: "At this moment, if I can appear in front of General Zhai Wenli alive, how credible does the general think what I said will be?"
Zhai Wenli didn't answer Ye Chen's words, but he already showed a willingness to give it a try. Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "Please." ”
This time, Zhai Wenli did not hesitate any longer, but boarded Ye Chen's carriage with the help of these warriors. In the wind and snow, the horses neighed and the wheels turned. Soon, the snow will obscure everything that has happened here. As for the doubts that lingered in Zhai Wenli's heart, they would also be answered one by one with his trip.
......
After the assassination, Lei Che sped up his journey to Flowing Cloud City. During this period, after unloading Zhai Wenli's hands, the army of the Tianwu Kingdom planned to use the hands of the commander of the Xia Kingdom's Wind Tiger Cavalry as a meeting gift with the lord of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom.
At this time, Lei Che was ambitious and vowed to take Liuyun City. Only by taking Liuyun City can Lei Che continue to march north with confidence. He plans to take the whole of Jibei before the end of this winter. Only by quickly taking the entire Jibei can Lei Che have sufficient capital and confidence to get involved in the entire Dongji.
Compared with this grand cause, the life and death of Lei Yi, who was a prisoner in Bright Moon City at this moment, was really insignificant. The mighty army of the Thousand Thunder Country marched day and night in the vast snow.
Gu Yu, who had fallen into madness because of a strange flute sound before, was now like having lost his soul, his eyes were hollow, and his face was expressionless, like a walking corpse. At that time, the confrontation with the greedy war bear caused her to be very traumatized, and even after so many days, she could not fully heal.
The heavy fluff made Gu Yu a little breathless.
At this moment, Gu Yu was wearing Lei Che's robe, riding an armor-piercing war bear to keep pace with him. They walked in the center of the army, and at the forefront were Nangong Jinyan and Brother Wei Chi to clear all obstacles. He was surrounded by Lei Che's personal guards, who were responsible for guarding his safety.
The greedy war bear has been in charge of the break.
Lei Che didn't use it as a mount on this trip.
This may be because he has something to communicate with Gu Yu, and he doesn't want to disturb her with the greedy war bear by his side. To be honest, the greedy war bear did move his killing intent against Gu Yu that night. If Gu Yu hadn't rushed into the night sky in time at the moment of crisis, perhaps the greedy war bear would have torn her into pieces on the spot to vent his anger against the Black Sky Sect that had accumulated for thousands of years.
Whatever the reason, though.
Lei Che didn't want to see this happen for the time being.
If Gu Yu hadn't helped in the previous battle of Yaoguang City, the long-range catapult matrix and the giant crossbow platform of the Mo Kingdom would have dealt a very fatal blow to the army of the Thousand Thunder Country. With the help of Gu Yu and other fallen feathers, the city fortifications that the Mexican Kingdom was proud of were cut by black flames.
The various parts of the city are isolated.
This was an accident that the Mexicans did not expect.
Or rather, it was the cruel reality that Han Ming, who was the lord of Yaoguang City at the time, had predicted but underestimated. With the help of the Black Sky Sect, the army of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom easily plunged the Mexican army into chaos. In this process, Han Ming did nothing to calm the chaos.
Of course, it can also be said that he has no way to calm the chaos. All he could do was minimize the damage caused by the chaos to their Mexican army, and it was a pity that Lei Che seized the moment of chaos and inflicted heavy damage on the Mexican army.
The fortifications of the entire Yaoguang City were also useless in front of the army of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom. Now, Lei Che took Gu Yu and headed towards Liuyun City. He wanted to use Gu Yu's power to repeat the scene in Yaoguang City before. Although not all the troops that followed Lei Che on the expedition this time were the elite troops of the Thousand Thunder Country, with the Tianwu Kingdom joining the battle, Lei Che was still very confident that he would take advantage of the next battle of Liuyun City to wash away the shame of the previous Battle of Jingwei Pass.
When you raise your eyes, frost and snow are mixed with the cold wind, sweeping the heavens and the earth.
The sonorous sound of armor accompanied by the wheezing of tens of thousands of war bears one after another, making Lei Che's thoughts drift away gradually. Gu Yu, who was already pale, looked even more haggard under the cold wind.
Lei Che, who noticed this detail, didn't look at Gu Yu's eyes, but he didn't forget to care: "The injury on Mr. is still painful now." ”
Gu Yu didn't answer Lei Che's question, and asked him, "Dare to ask the Lord of the Nation, how long do we have to arrive in Liuyun City." ”
Lei Che was silent for a moment, and then pondered: "At this current rate, there should be two or three days to go." ”
Gu Yu frowned slightly: "Doesn't the Lord of Tu China plan to stop for a while, or is it said that after arriving in Liuyun City, he will directly start a war with the Dongji countries?"
Lei Che asked puzzledly, "Why do you stay?" ”
Gu Yu said: "Now stationed outside Liuyun City, there are the army of the Shu Kingdom and the army of the Xia Kingdom. With our current strength, if we directly start a war with the Dongji countries, I am afraid that the outcome will not be optimistic. I think that the Lord of the Kingdom needs to find a suitable place to rest his army for the time being before arriving in Liuyun City, wait for the army of the Heavenly Martial Kingdom to join the Lord of the Kingdom, and then rush to Liuyun City together. ”
After hearing this, Lei Che became more suspicious in his heart: "Did Mr. already have an eyeliner in Liuyun City, why was he able to learn about the movements of Liuyun City so quickly." ”
Gu Yu said lightly: "The followers of the Holy Sect are all over the world, and we are just following the guidance of the God of Eternal Night to do what we should do. ”
Lei Che asked, "According to what Mr. said, it must be that the god of eternal night who is believed in by the Holy Sect must have foreseen these things that happened to Mr. Night?"
Gu Yu: "The god of eternal night, omniscient. ”
Lei Che asked, "What does Mr. think about this?"
Gu Yu was puzzled: "Gu Yu doesn't understand what the lord of the country means. ”
Reichur: "I mean, since the god of the eternal night has foreseen this, why don't you tell him in advance, and wait for him to get hurt instead of preventing this from happening." ”
Gu Yu said: "The mind of the gods cannot be said. ”
Lei Che guessed, "Could it be that this god of the night that the Holy Sect believes in is actually not as powerful as Mr. said?"
Gu Yu frowned: "The lord of the country is testing something." ”
Lei Che: "The widow is wondering how much of what the gentleman said is true and how much of it can't be taken seriously. ”
Gu Yu: "The lord of the country means that Gu Yu is lying?"
Lei Che: "The widow is just worried that the gentleman will be deceived by the magic stick. ”
Gu Yu: "Gu Yu thinks that the lord of the country is too worried. ”
Lei Che listened and smiled: "I hope so." ”
After some embarrassment, Lei Che asked Gu Yu again: "I just heard that Mr. mentioned the matter of fattening back with Tianwu Kingdom, so Sir must know where the army of Tianwu Kingdom is now, right?"
Gu Yu nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Lei Che asked again, "How long will we meet?" ”
Gu Yu: "Half-day journey." ”
Lei Che: "Where is the direction?"
Gu Yu: "Straight ahead." ”
