Chapter 8: Scouting

Lian Jiu held the torch and turned to face the soldiers.

"When we burn these two women to death, we will break into the town of Beiguan at night, kill all their soldiers, kill all their people, and tell the Darong Imperial Court that our Beijin will definitely repay them a thousand times more than a thousand times!"

Lian Jiu shouted, and the soldiers raised their spears in their hands in response.

"Kill into Zhenbei Pass and avenge the general!"

"Snatch women, snatch food!"

"Let them pay for their blood tonight!"

Liu Yunxiang gritted his teeth and killed the general, Lian Jiu definitely saw him blind and made a temporary move, but his murderous intent was already there, just waiting for this opportunity.

Under the watchful eyes of all the soldiers, Lian Jiu threw the torch on the pyre.

The fire burned all at once.

The heat was fumigated, Liu Yunxiang didn't look down, still looking into the distance.

He'll come!

Remember the URL

Definitely!

But Yan Dusk, can you hurry up, no matter how late it is, you can only collect my body!

Finally, in the afterglow, she saw thousands of horses galloping towards her. The soldiers of Beijin might as well be stunned for a while, and even Jiu Jiu commanded in a hurry: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up to meet the enemy!"

Everyone hurriedly turned around, you touch me, I touch you, how can there be any formation, and they greeted them in a mess.

Lian Jiu calmed down and asked loudly: "Who is the leader of the troops?"

"General Hui, it's Yan Dusk!"

"Is that him?" Lian Jiu's eyes widened, "Isn't he already transferred to guard Shuoxi, how can he ...... He is not afraid that the Darong Imperial Court will condemn him?"

"Maybe it's to save these women. "That will be the general.

"Just for these women?"

However, before he could figure it out, the two sides were already at war.

The Darong soldiers were holding back the fire in their hearts, and the battle was extremely heroic, and the Beijin soldiers had not even come back to their senses, and they were forced to fight, plus there was no front-line command, and the battle was scattered.

The fire here is getting stronger and stronger, Liu Yunxiang has difficulty breathing, and then looking at Qu Mo Dye, he has already fainted.

She was in a hurry when suddenly a man flew up and cut the rope from her body and carried her away from the fire.

"Sister Qu...... Ahem, save her!"

"Anyone else?"

"Quick!"

"Emperor Lao Tzu is here, I have to save you first!"

Liu Yunxiang looked up at Yan Dui, and his face looked better under the light of the fire.

At this time, the fire frame collapsed, and when Liu Yunxiang was panicking, the beggar took Qu Moran out.

Fighting on all sides, Yan Twilight handed the two of them to the beggar, and then rushed in with a knife.

"Lianshan, where are you, Lao Tzu has taken your dog's head!"

Liu Yunxiang looked around, but didn't see Lian Jiu, and he couldn't take care of him at the moment, "Let's go to the tent over there to save people!"

When they came to the tent over there, the women didn't know what was going on, and huddled together until Liu Yunxiang came over and brought them out.

There were reinforcements in the rear of Beijin, and Yan Du brought out not many soldiers, so he didn't dare to fight, so he escorted these women and hurriedly withdrew to Zhenbei Pass.

But in this battle, it still suffered a heavy defeat to the Beijin army, with thousands of casualties.

On the upper floor of the Guancheng in the north of the town, you can still see the fire of the Beijin camp in the distance from here, and half of the sky is dyed red.

Shen Yunzhou sighed and said pretendly: "Yan Dui, you are too impulsive. ”

Yan Du snorted, "If Lao Tzu is not impulsive, your woman will be burned to death!"

Shen Yunzhou choked, "But this battle is tantamount to openly destroying the alliance between the two countries, and the imperial court will definitely blame it." ”

"Lao Tzu, you are very afraid. ”

"Hey!"

"You and I both know that the peace between Beijin and our Darong is just a delaying tactic, and sooner or later the two countries will have a war. Yan Du squinted, "It's better to fight late than early." ”

Shen Yunzhou was silent for a moment and said, "I will write to the imperial court and explain this matter in detail, I will not reveal the Liu family's involvement." ”

Yan Du smiled, "Brother Shen's mind is still sober. ”

"But I stopped you, because you didn't listen to the persuasion and rushed to send troops, so I don't have half of the responsibility for this. ”

Yan Dusk waved his hand, "Whatever." ”

Shen Yunzhou turned around and went down the city tower, and happened to run into Liu Yunxiang coming up.

Shen Yunzhou clasped his hands into fists and saluted Liu Yunxiang, "Thank you, Madame, for saving my son." ”

Liu Yunxiang sighed, "Sister Qu is seriously injured, Lord Shen should take good care of her." ”

After speaking, Liu Yunxiang turned sideways and went upstairs.

As soon as he walked out of the staircase, the cold wind was blowing in his face, and Liu Yunxiang looked at Yan Dusk standing on the city tower.

Even though she didn't know how much he loved her, when she decided to take food to the Beijin camp, she was sure that he would save her, even if he risked his own life.

She didn't even need to think about the situation he would face if he ventured to rescue her.

There was no need for her to think, because at that moment, he didn't even think about it himself.

Liu Yunxiang walked over and accompanied him to look into the distance.

"When I was eight years old, my father was ordered to guard the north pass of the town, and the night before the expedition, I hugged my father's thigh and said that I would follow him to the barracks and fight together. At that time, I was just reluctant to him, and I was just deliberately cheating, but I didn't expect my father to really bring me to Zhenbeiguan. In that year, my father ordered me to follow the soldiers to practice, get up early every day, splash cold water on my face, wear heavy armor, and start morning jogging, boxing, and two-person battles. One day I wanted to be lazy, and my father whipped me, saying that I was going to follow, my own choice, there was no way back, I had to grit my teeth and persevere. One day, he took me to the castle tower and pointed to the battlefield in the distance, saying that the soldiers were proud to die on the battlefield and ashamed to steal their lives. ”

Liu Yunxiang tilted his head and leaned on Yan Dui's shoulder, he had never mentioned his parents to her, like a fragile bubble, no one could touch it, not even himself.

"But what happened to him, fortunately I am not like him, I have no family and country, and I don't want to spill my blood. ”

Liu Yunxiang sighed, "But you saved those women, and the people of Zhenbeiguan and Yanguicheng are very grateful to you." ”

"Oh, not at all!"

After this battle, Beijin sent additional troops to Zhenbeiguan, and the two sides became tense again.

A month later, the imperial court really summoned and reprimanded the Zhenbei army, fined Lu, and reduced the salary.

"The order given by the marshal is that the marshal bears all the blame for the crimes, and the marshal will make up for your money. The reduced food and salary, Ben Shuai tried to raise it. ”

Yan Dusk's words, all the soldiers supported him very much.

As for Yan Dui, because of the tense situation, the imperial court did not dare to take back his military power, reprimanded a few words, demoted his rank, and punished him, which was not painful.

At the same time, Da Rong sent envoys to visit Beijin and brought tens of thousands of taels of gold as reparation.

Beijin asked for peace, and finally the result of Princess Darong Jiu marrying the third prince of Beijin as a side concubine was a good thing.

But when the news reached the Zhenbei Army, the generals were extremely angry.

"We are not afraid of bloodshed, they are content in the temple and actually knelt down first!"

But this has come to this, and no one can do it.

Before the beginning of spring, the ninth princess's send-off team arrived.

Liu Yunxiang realized that this ninth princess was not the Feiyu princess who invited her to visit the painting boat that year.

Among these princes and princesses of the royal family, the only one Yan Du is close to is this ninth princess.
