Zhang Ye's guards looked at each other, feeling stupid, unable to understand the meaning of the prince's and princess's expressions and words. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When they were about to ask a question, Lu Ye, who was standing on the side behind Qing Ran, curled the corners of his mouth, stepped forward happily, and said in his usual uninhibited tone, "Night attack." Interesting!"

Zhang Ye's officials looked at Lu Ye who suddenly came out to speak, they didn't know who he was, looking at the color of Lu Ye's clothes, it seemed that he was just an ordinary guard, and looking at the way he spoke, he didn't look like a guard. How could an ordinary guard be so presumptuous on such an occasion.

"Who is this?"

"Don't blame you. Qingran said, "He has always spoken so bluntly, and he has no intention of being offended." ”

"What did the prince say? "Now is not the time to count the etiquette," but just now he said that the night attack, do you want to take the initiative?" Zhang Ye's guard asked hesitantly.

"Yes. He replied categorically.

Although it is only the vanguard, the opponent's strength is still very strong. Shouldn't they think about how to hold on first? One of Zhang Ye's guards questioned.

"If the opponent's forces are gathered, just holding on, I'm afraid it won't be enough. Qingran said.

"So......" Lu also took Qing Ran's words, "since they are more numerous than us, we will make them smaller." Since they are deploying troops, we will disrupt their deployment. Weaken the opponent's forces and make them similar to us, so that we can hold on...... I'm the best at doing this kind of thing, let me go. Lu also said happily, looking eager to try and impatient.

Although they felt that Lu Ye's behavior was a bit exaggerated, the guards also understood the prince's intention to take the initiative, and they were risky and bold. In the situation that the enemy is outnumbered, while the opponent is scattered, they carry out effective strikes and balance forces, and their eyes light up. Then, they saw another beautiful young man in the clothes of a guard step out from behind Prince Qingran, staring at Lu Ye with his eyes fixed.

Lu Ye also stared at him, "You go too, I won't let you go, you won't follow me, why are you still looking at me like this." He said helplessly.

Zhang Ye's people looked at these two people in strange behavior, and the people around the prince and princess were not strange, and they were strange in their hearts.

Qing Ran didn't pay attention to the different behaviors and thoughts of the people in the house, he didn't want to kill, but this was a war, a battlefield. Although his heart was unbearable, he still had to harden it. Seeing that everyone had no opinions, he began to assign tasks. He divided the men in charge of the night raid into two groups, one of which was led by Lu Ye.

Although Lu Ye was born as an official slave, when Qingran first met him, he had seen his way of using soldiers. At that time, he was an official slave, driving officials to resist the enemy, more than flexible, and clever, the people in this house, except for Yu Zimo, I am afraid that no one can compare to him.

The other way, led by himself.

"Go and get ready, let everyone hurry up and rest, and we'll set off after midnight. Qingran said to Lu Ye.

Everyone didn't expect Qingran to go in person, so they all stepped forward to dissuade him, the prince is the commander, how can he easily send troops to make a mistake.

"As a commander-in-chief, you should naturally take the lead. Qingran said.

"You are the master of everything, and what do you want us people to do? Probably Lu didn't expect Qingran to go too, so he thought about it and said. Tonight's night battle was destined to be a bloody killing battle.

Qingran waved his hand, signaling everyone not to say much. This night attack is very important, it may be related to their future war, he must go, he understands Lu Ye's good intentions, but since he has to face it in the end, it is nothing sooner.

The prince and Lu also wanted to go, and Changming naturally wanted to go together, so Qingran asked him to stay and protect Yu Zimo and Qingyao. Chang Ming silently received the order.

The four lieutenant generals stepped forward to ask to follow, Qingran thought for a while, took Li Kang and Wang Duo, and left Zhang Jianlin and Chen Shi behind, "When I am not in the camp, everything in the army is at the disposal of the princess." ”

The people took the command. Qing Ran made some detailed arrangements again, and asked the people participating in the night attack to go down and prepare for themselves. Qing Yao and Chang Ming went out together to arrange the princess's living room and protect the princess. Zhang Ye's guards also went out to arrange their own defense.

Only Qing Ran and Yu Zimo were left in the hall. Xiao Qingran let out a long breath. Although he seems to be so calm and commanding, in reality, he has not yet fully adapted to his new identity. The broad shoulders were a little tired, but firm and unwavering.

"The other party's general has been through the battlefield and is a veteran general, he may have expected our sneak attack and prepared in advance. Qingran and Yu Zimo said.

"It's not impossible. Yu Zimo glanced at the chair behind him, frowned, reluctantly sat down, and said, "When we suddenly appeared, the other party was caught off guard, so we will temporarily retreat." They don't know about you, they won't be afraid, but they won't be too underestimated by the enemy, at least in the battle just now, the other party must understand that you are not here to send you to death, and they will definitely be on guard. What are you going to do if the other party is ready?"

"Zhang Ye's situation is flat, with almost no shelter. Even if they were prepared in advance, they would definitely be inside the camp and would not set up an ambush and besiege outside. So as long as you pay a little attention, act flexibly, and make the necessary preparations, you should be able to deal with it. Qingran said, although he was a little nervous, he still had unconsciously confidence in his tone.

"Looks like I don't have to worry about it......"

"Hmm. Qingran's face was relieved.

Yu Zimo smiled slightly, "I'll go rest first, this body of dust." She stood up with the table in hand, "What kind of wood are the tables and chairs here?"

"I let them swap it out. Qing Ran saw that Zi Mo was not used to the tables and chairs here, and said.

"Well, though, let Changming do these things. Night raids are all about cooperation. You're used to night activities, and those soldiers don't necessarily do well, so go check it out. Although Lu Ye is clever, it is not enough to rely on him to command the response. Yu Zimo said.

"It's okay, I'll ask Qing Yao to make you a pot of medicinal tea, and you can rest early. Qingran said.

……

This night, the wind outside Zhang Ye City blew extremely violently, and the dust rolled up blurred the already unclear moonlight in the sky. Fragile branches shake and break in the wind.

The night before the rooster crows seemed to be the thickest, so thick that it swallowed out the sharp wails and the short knife chirps.

When the first rays of white light rose in the sky, the outside of Zhang Ye seemed to be as quiet as before. The gray and yellow dust and mist gradually dissipated as the wind stopped, revealing a bloody breath that made people palpitate.

……

When Qingran came back, Yu Zimo was still asleep in bed. Although he had changed his clothes, there was still blood on his body, and he did not approach the bedside.

Yu Zimo seemed to hear the sound of Qingran coming back, turned over lightly on the bed, his eyes were still closed, and whispered, "I'm back?...... How?"

"Well, annihilation. Qingran was silent for a moment and replied in a deep voice.

Yu Zimo didn't speak, and neither did Qingran. There was a moment of silence in the room.

After a long time, Yu Zimo slowly opened his eyes on the bed and sat up.

Qingran stepped forward, took Yu Zimo's fur from the hanger on the side, draped it on Yu Zimo's body, and then retreated. "I still have the smell of blood from outside. ”

"It doesn't matter. Yu Zimo wrapped the thin fur on his body tightly, and a pair of plain hands gently landed on the quilt.

Qingran walked over cautiously and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Yu Zimo held Qing Ran's hand. Those hands that were originally flexible and warm were a little stiff and cold at the moment. "Tonight is just the beginning, and you should be mentally prepared for this. She whispered, with a rare seriousness and gentleness.

Qingran nodded silently. This night was undoubtedly cruel, but it also made him see the path he was about to face, and his heart became more resolute.

"What about the casualties on our side?" asked Yu Zimo.

"Fortunately, the other party is prepared, we are also prepared, Lu is also very volatile, and we have few casualties. Qingran replied.

"Where's Luya?"

"He's fine, he's a little excited, he seems to be very comfortable with this way of fighting. Qingran said.

Yu Zimo smiled faintly and asked again, "Is Xiaohai injured when he follows him?"

"Nope. ”

"His mind is not very stable yet, and he should not be allowed to see such a scene. Yu Zimo said helplessly.

"I ignored it. In the future, I will try to let him go to war as little as possible. "Strictly speaking, Xiaohai is still just a child.

"Let's let him follow. Yu Zimo said, "Only he can entangle Lu Ye, as for the impact of the battlefield on him, I will find a way." ”

"Why do you have to follow Lu Ye in Xiaohai, aren't you worried about Lu Ye?" Qingran has always been very strange, Zi Mo's attitude towards Lu Ye seems to care very much, and there seems to be no concern, both valuing him and not worrying about him, and the way he treats Lu Ye is also full of contradictions. For example, tonight, Zi Mo reassured himself to take Lu Ye with him, saying that Lu Ye would definitely do a good job, help himself, and let him have no worries, but let Xiao Hai follow and monitor Lu Ye - knowing that the battlefield had an impact on Xiao Hai, he still refused to relax for a moment.

"It's not that I'm not worried, it's that I don't want him to have anything. Yu Zimo explained perfunctorily.

"You care about him very much?" Qing Ran pondered and couldn't understand Zi Mo's thoughts.

"It's not that I care about him, it's that he needs to be cared for. ”

Qing Ran was almost confused by Yu Zimo's words.

"You also regard Lu as a friend, don't you?" Yu Zimo changed his words.

Qingran nodded. Lu was indeed his first, if not only, friend.

"Whatever his identity?"

"It doesn't matter who he is. It doesn't matter if he's an official slave or a guard. ”

Yu Zimo looked at Qingran's face, smiled slightly, and had no further explanation.

Qing Ran didn't continue to ask. He knew that if she wanted to explain, she would be very patient to explain it to herself, and if she didn't want to say more, there must be a reason for her. He believed her, trusted her judgment, and believed her concealment. Zi Mo has insight and judgment beyond ordinary people, he can't perceive it, but he chooses to believe it.
