Chapter 648: The clouds are rolling away
The night was very heavy, mixed with a sultry breath swirling in the forest, and the heavy armor made the skin always wet with beads of sweat, which felt very bad. Mosquitoes have begun to wreak havoc, and as long as the skin cannot be covered, small red bumps will protrude every night, itching and unbearable, making people upset.
The reinforcements from the eastern capital who went to Jiuyuan have been stationed here for two days, and the torrent in the town in front of them has been vented, the roads are muddy, and the horses are difficult to travel.
"My lord, although Lord Xiangguo and Master Hou have said that we should delay the march, but this Su Nan's behavior is too much, I am afraid that it will backfire, and the rest of the people are okay to say, that Mu Feng and Su Chong are not easy to provoke, in case they can't hold back and make any moves, the Mo family army has 50,000 people, and Su Chong is with the old department of General Zuo Li Qiongchi, adding up to more than 30,000 people, so if you count it, it is the same as the number of us and Xiangguo Mansion. β
Gao Mian listened to Shi Jinqian's words, couldn't help but bow his head and meditate for a moment, and then said: "Two days ago, I saw that Mu Feng and Su Chong had never greeted each other in the tent, Su Chong was arrogant, although his father was always against Xiangguo Mansion in the court, but he didn't take the initiative to find Mu Feng, so it is unknown whether they will join forces." β
Shi Jinqian nodded after listening, as for Su Chongqi, as long as he has been in contact with him, everyone knows that although he is not very old, he is so proud. His father was a doctor of the imperial history, and he himself had been by the side of General Zuo Li Qiongchi since he was a child, and he had been on the battlefield and made meritorious achievements, so he would not take it seriously at all. Although Mu Feng is the right-hand man by Mo Han's side, it is absolutely impossible for Su Chong to take the initiative to find him.
"What about Mu Feng's side, will he go behind our backs to catch up with him?"
Mu Feng was as usual every day, but Fu Chao beside him looked very angry. β
"How big a wave can a Royal Forest Army make, order it to go down, let people keep an eye on Su Chong and Mu Feng, and report it as soon as there is any trouble. β
"Yes. β
It is true that a Royal Forest Army can't make many waves, but this Royal Forest Army plus the Mo Family Army, plus the 30,000 horses in Su Chong's hands is enough to overturn this entire backup army!
The sky thundered, the hot wind blew, and the leaves rattled softly, making you fall asleep even more. In the middle of the night, even the soldiers on patrol dozed off in twos and threes. This is not a battlefield, there are no forces from other countries, and everyone's purpose is the same, so what else do you need to guard against?
The entire army was divided into several pieces and distributed in front of and behind this Yinghua City, according to the convention, the troops should march in several ways, which could relieve the pressure on the road and speed up, but now because of the delay, so many people were ordered by Su Nan to take the same road, so although it was convenient for him to control, it also buried hidden dangers that he could not predict - he underestimated Mu Feng's means and courage, and also underestimated Su Chong's humility in front of the overall situation.
The sound of rustling was endless, as if it was the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, and it seemed that a huge number of people and horses were quietly approaching. The soldiers on patrol felt a little uneasy, their eyes widened vigilantly, and they raised their torches to shine where the bonfire could not reach, and the sound suddenly stopped, because the wind also stopped, and the leaves were still in the treetops, and there was no longer the slightest movement.
The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, looking at each other's nervous expressions, and they couldn't help but laugh at each other.
With so many people and horses, who dares to have such the courage to come and attack, these 200,000 people are enough to chop them into meat sauce with one knife per person. The body relaxed, the spirit also relaxed, the sleepy eyes were awake because of the moment, and it was difficult to sleep after a long night, some people began to laugh, and some people got together to gamble on a game to pass the time.
The darkness was hidden for a while, and no one knew what would happen on this seemingly ordinary night, and when the lightning tore through the night sky and the rain fell overwhelmingly, a bow and arrow ready to fire slowly emerged from the darkness.
There was a candle flame in the tent, and the figures could be clearly reflected, but now the people in the tent had slept, soβ
The sound of arrows rising into the sky is tantamount to a sign of danger to those who need to be vigilant even when they sleep, and no one with a modicum of common sense will sit still, and that is what those who hide in the darkness are waiting for.
"There's an Assassin - Protect the General!" the commotion paused, and in an instant, a figure was reflected in the tent, and the personal guards swarmed up, shielding the panicked man with their bodies.
"Someone, mobilize men and horses for me to killβ" Panic was followed by infinite anger, Su Nan grabbed the armor beside the couch and buckled it indiscriminately, then drew his long sword and roared, "Inform all the troops to come and exterminate the bandits, dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, and live impatiently." β
Except for the sound of arrows just now, there was no movement outside, Su Nan became more and more annoyed, he knew that there were many people in this army who were dissatisfied with him, but he didn't think that they dared to take the risk of taking the helm, listening to the sound outside, he only said that someone was dissatisfied and deliberately rectified him, so he threw the long sword to the ground, and ripped off the armor that was just buckled and slammed it, and roared: "Go, call Gao Mian to me, whoever dares to make me feel bad, I will cut him three layers of flesh and skin, so that he can't live or die!"
Seeing this, the guards all flashed to the side, bowed their heads and retreated, and in that gap, sharp arrows glowing with cold light whistled through the air, and between the lightning and flint, they shot into the back of Su Nan's neck, pierced through the Adam's apple, and threw him down on top of the tent.
The blood stained the tent red in an instant, and the guards couldn't react for a while, and they all froze in place.
The splattered blood covered the entire ground with a steaming heat, and Su Nan's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what had happened until he died.
They did it, and they did it......
The unconscious "gurgling" sound in his throat, Su Nan's body twitched, his hands were clenched tightly due to spasms, but he was no longer able to struggle, and when the guards reacted and squatted to help him up, they found that his eyes had lost color, and in a few moments, he became a silent corpse.
The silent darkness suddenly set off a stormy wave, and when the earth-shattering sound of fighting sounded, the entire city of Yinghua trembled.
In April of the 21st year of the Jin calendar, the Northern Expeditionary Army sent by Emperor Wen of Jin to Jiuyuan had a civil strife in Yinghua City, and the deputy general Mu Feng joined forces with the pioneer Su Chong, leading 80,000 soldiers to kill the commander Su Nan to seize the Shuai Yin, and wiped out more than 40,000 of his subordinates and allied troops overnight. The rest of the people in the Northern Expeditionary Army were intimidated by Mu Feng's might, and unanimously elected him as the new commander, commanding the remaining 120,000 horses day and night, and went straight to Jiuyuan;
"Childe, come and see, the cliffs on both sides of the strait are almost within reach. "The water suddenly narrows, and the cliffs on both sides are overhung with vines, revealing a lush color under the snow, which makes the eyes light up and the heart relax.
The fifth bend has passed, but there is a collision when the boat turns, and finally reached a place where the water flow is gentle, Jian Yude ordered to anchor and repair, these days and nights have not stopped taking turns to paddle, everyone is very tired, at this moment, everyone is taking advantage of the gap Everyone is hurrying to rest. Because of the fever and fear of Bai Yan's worry, Flawless has been in the cabin for a day and a night, at this moment he heard that the ship was going to stop to rest, he knew that he would be suspicious if he hid again, so he took Xian Yi to the deck to breathe fresh air.
The weather is still cold, even if he is lightly furped, surrounded by fox fur, Flawless still feels cold, he knows that his body is not as good as before, but he is greedy for this fresh breath, and he is reluctant to turn back. Xian Yi held the side of the boat and stretched out his hand to pull the plants on the cliff wall, turned around and smiled: "We haven't seen such green plants for a long time, the winter in the north is so long, fortunately we don't live here permanently." β
Flawless didn't speak, only looked up at the stone cliff that seemed to extend to the horizon with a hint of loneliness, and looked at the goshawks hovering above the cave sky from time to time, and slowly became obsessed.
If it weren't for Bai Yan, maybe he would still be in the midst of constant running and intrigue at this moment, indifferent and ruthless as before. People say that Leng Gongzi has no heart and no tears, but have you ever thought that he will have a day when he will cry for love and go crazy for love.
The slender fingertips slowly caressed the green vines, and the eyebrows overflowed with all kinds of tenderness, spreading wantonly, flawlessly raising his head, revealing a sweet smile.
No, I am already pursuing what I want in this life, Brother Liu is right, if a person has love in his heart, then the hatred will slowly fade away. From childhood to adulthood, all he thought about and did was how to be invincible to defeat all enemies, to take revenge, to consolidate his power and fight against the Great Jin Dynasty, but now, what he wants is so simple, he just wants to be by Bai Yan's side, watch him, guard him, even if he doesn't do anything, even if he is laughed at and stupid, he doesn't care, because the world that can be seen by his eyes now is only him!
"Adult, the villain has a grievance to be redressed. Two extremely ugly small-faced people suddenly appeared in front of them, and Flawless did not look back, but laughed out loud.
The man behind him cleared his throat, coughed twice, and said in a pinched voice: "Childe's anger has disappeared, if not, the villain will pinch you again, but it may not be more beautiful than this." β
Looking at the wrinkled face in front of him, Flawless sighed lightly and said: "There is a thick-skinned person like you in this world, except for lingering or maybe there is really no more, Uncle Li doesn't know how much torture you have suffered before you made such two ugly people." β
"Wrong, I'm so smart that I can naturally learn it as soon as I learn, and I'm afraid that if I continue to learn, Uncle Li will have nothing to do and lose his job. Bai Yan poked his head out with a grin, stuffed the face man into Flawless hands, and then hugged him from behind, and said softly: "Don't you be angry with me." β
How can Flawless be angry with you, Flawless is only afraid that he will not do enough for you, and he will never be enough.
"I'm not angry when you drink medicine with me tonight. β
"Come again, Flawless, let's discuss, can we add some sugar ointment to that medicine......"
"Nature...... No......"
ββ¦β¦ That's halved. β
"No, what are you dragging me again...... Let go...... Let it go!"
"If I don't let go, I want to hold on to you, and I won't let go for the rest of my lifeβ"
Until the green silk and white hair, buried in the ground, don't let go!
