Chapter 426: Disappearing day and night, bloody and pungent
"Retreat! Duan's retreat!"
The sound of the piano still echoed in the sky, I don't know who was the first to roar out, the meditating soldiers stood up and looked down at the city tower together, the corpses under the city tower were wailing all over the field, and the Duan army, which had almost attacked the city tower, had already retreated like a tide, Zou Qi and Lin Ci also looked down the city, and this look knew that they were defending!
The south of the city can be defended, but what about the west of the city?!
Duan Qi also sent troops to the west of the city-
Zou Qi suddenly, Lin Ci also turned to look in the direction of the west of the city, and some people said that the west of the city had died a wave, so now the west of the city is broken, but why is there no movement at all?
As soon as this idea came out, the heart-wrenching sound of the piano stopped suddenly.
As soon as the sound of the piano was heard, the roar in everyone's ears decreased sharply, and the anxiety and dullness in the atrium also dissipated a lot.
Zou Qi turned to look at Chaoxi, only to see Chaoxi coldly ordered, "Maybe there will be a second attack, you stay, and I will go to the west of the city to have a look." After saying that, he turned around and flew under the tower.
Zou Qi and Lin Ci opened their eyes wide at the same time, the morning and evening were not the stairs, she actually used martial arts, jumped down from the city tower, Zou Qi and Lin Ci almost at the same time stepped forward to look down the city tower, but saw that the morning and evening red clothes were like fire, steady and stable, turned over a horse, and galloped away in the direction of the west of the city as soon as the whip fell.
Mo said that Zou Qi and Lin resigned, but the pendant who had been following the day and night was stunned.
She never knew that day and night would be such a wonderful light work?!
It was her stunned kung fu, Chaoxia and a horse had rushed into the darkness, Shen'er suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly went down to the city tower to follow, although the south of the city was defended, but the patrol battalion and the newly transferred Royal Forest Army were killed and wounded, and there was really no force to send to the west of the city, and the Duan clan is retreating now, but it is very likely that there will be a second wave of strong attack, they still have to use flesh and blood to defend and carry it, so thinking about it, everyone does not feel that it is in danger, and the appearance of the battle platform Fuqin is deeply reflected in their minds, she is like a god who saves the world, giving all the soldiers incomparable hope๏ผ
"Scouts, go out of the city to explore, see if the Duan clan's army has really withdrawn!"
Most people are still immersed in the joy of guarding the city wall and the shock of the morning and evening qin music, thinking of the scene of the Duan army killing each other, Rao is these people are used to seeing the scene of flesh and blood flying in the past few days, and at this time they can't help but tremble in their hearts, what kind of song is that song, and how did Princess Shake Light do it?
Although the Duan army temporarily retreated, the dead and wounded soldiers on the city tower also urgently needed treatment, Zou Qi quickly rectified the battlefield, and Lin Ci also followed the west of the city without saying a word, but Lin Ci almost just got down the city tower, he saw the fast horse coming from the west side of the city, and a soldier turned over from the horse, "Great commander, the west of the city is saved!"
The soldier was wounded, and there were still blood stains on his face, but his tone was full of joy for the rest of his life, and his heart was lowered, and then he frowned, it was impossible for the day and night to pass so quickly, he raised his eyes and looked at the long street, the figure of the day and the night was gone, how did the west of the city survive, "How many brothers died?"
When he asked this, the soldier's face darkened slightly, "Yes, it's the first batch of ......" As he spoke, the soldier's eyes lit up and said, "Great Commander, reinforcements are coming! It was the reinforcements who saved us!"
Lin Ci's eyes lit up, they had been waiting for Zhu Qin's reinforcements!
"Where is Zhu Qin?!" Lin Ci immediately asked urgently, found Zhu Qin, and then could meet the enemy head-on with Zhu Qin's reinforcements, the voice settled, but the soldier shook his head suddenly, "No, no, it's not Zhu's reinforcements, it's Yan Guo-"
Lin Ci's eyes widened, "Yan Guo?!"
The soldier nodded, his eyes full of excitement, "Yes! It's the fire rider of the Yan Kingdom! Yan Shizi is here!"
Lin Ci was slightly stunned, and the taste in his heart was unclear for a while, "Where is Yan Shizi now?"
The soldier hurriedly said, "When his subordinates came to report, Yan Shizi arranged for someone to pursue the remnants of the Duan clan, Yan Shizi asked where Her Royal Highness the princess was, and now she should be rushing over here......
Lin Ci got on his horse instead, "You go up and tell Commander Zou that I will go to the west of the city." โ
Lin Ci's voice did not fall and the horsewhip was raised, the horsewhip was pulled down heavily, and the horse that sat down immediately galloped out, straight towards the west of the city, his horse was extremely fast, and the wind and lightning rushed over the long street, just turned a street corner, but saw a group of people and horses stopped at the end of this long street, so far away, the momentum of the person at the head of the face through the night was coming, Lin Ci almost recognized at a glance who the person was, Shang Jue, it was Shang Jue!
The moment he saw Shang Jue, Lin Ci's brows furrowed, and Chaoxi was also heading towards the west of the city, why didn't he see Chaoxi with him? Lin Ci looked at the past, but he saw Shen'er.
Lin Ci felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly sped up the horse's speed, and the horse soon arrived in front of Shang Jue, who was rushing all the way, dressed in dusty clothes, with an ink-colored robe, followed by more than a dozen black-clothed secret guards.
Seeing Lin Ci, Shang Jue also raised his chin slightly, and Shen'er said with an anxious face on the side, "Her Royal Highness the princess is heading towards the west of the city, and Her Royal Highness the prince didn't see Her Royal Highness the princess?"
It turned out that Shen'er also met Shang Jue on the way to the west of the city.
Shang Jue frowned, "She came to the west of the city, and she came to look for her because she never met me." As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Ci again, "Commander Lin?"
Lin Ci saluted Shang Jue on horseback, and hugged his fists again, "Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Prince came down in time, and Her Royal Highness the Princess knew that the west of the city was in danger, so a person rushed over first, and we all followed behind, and His Royal Highness the Prince has never seen Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
Shang Jue's brows furrowed, and he turned the horse's head at once, "She must have taken the path." โ
As he spoke, he waved his whip and hurried to the west of the city.
It was already late at night, and there were only a few dim lights on the main road, but if Chaoxi had taken the main road, how could he not have met him? The only explanation was that Chaoxi had taken the path, and if he had taken the path, he would have reached the west of the city by this time.
Shang Jue was impatient to see the morning and evening, the horsewhip fell sharply, Shen'er and Lin Ci followed behind, and the group returned to the west of the city in a mighty way, and walked less than a stick of incense to the west of the city, looking at the past from a distance, the west of the city is also a bloody mess, but at this moment the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom have stood on the city tower, and the surviving people of the Imperial Forest Army are carrying the dead and wounded Shu soldiers down from the city tower together with the newly arrived Yan soldiers, after cleaning up the battlefield, there may be a new round of war.
"Princess Shake Light has arrived?"
Far away, Shang Jue raised his voice and asked a young lieutenant of Yan Guo who was standing under the city tower.
The little lieutenant of the Yan Kingdom saluted with surprise on his face, and seeing his expression, Shang Jue's heart sank suddenly.
"Back to His Royal Highness, I have never seen Princess Shaoguang. โ
The avenue that Shen'er walked, and after meeting Shang Jue, it was delayed for a while, it stands to reason that Chaoxi should have arrived a long time earlier than Shen'er, but how could it not have arrived?
Shang Jue felt a wave of uneasiness in his heart, he turned around and looked at the darkness in the south and west of the city, "A few of you, go separately to find Princess Shaoguang, all the paths that can be walked on horseback from the south of the city to the west of the city." โ
At the sound of an order, the black-clothed dark guard behind him immediately rushed towards the darkness.
Shang Jue rolled his eyes, his eyes swept at Shen'er with a slightly cold look, Shen'er's heart trembled, and he immediately wanted to get off the horse and ask for guilt, Shang Jue saw her self-blame and panicked, and waved her big hand, "You wait here, maybe she spared the road instead, if she comes, send a signal." โ
As he spoke, he threw a signal pyrotechnic to the pendant.
Shen'er had a white face, pursed her lips tightly and took it, "Yes, Your Highness, the slave understands." โ
The words settled, Shang Jue looked at Lin Ci and said, "Zhan Jiucheng has taken 8,000 soldiers and horses to the periphery of the city to block the Duan clan, and this trip has only brought 10,000 horses, you go to deploy with Zou Qi, be sure to wait for Zhu Qin's idiot to come over." โ
After speaking, as soon as the horsewhip fell, he also galloped towards the private houses in the west of the city.
Shen'er sat on horseback and watched Shang Jue's back disappear, her heart was pounding, she was just a little slower, just a little slower, she didn't expect the speed of the morning and evening to be so fast, and she didn't take the avenue, and went, she faintly felt that there was an awe-inspiring strangeness in the morning and evening of Fuqin, she didn't know how to say this feeling, she only knew that she didn't follow the morning and evening, so that everyone lost the trace of the morning and evening, but don't do anything.
Lin Ci was in place, and also set his eyes on the misty night, from the south of the city to the west of the city, if you don't take the avenue, there are many more small alleys to walk, it is possible to go anywhere day and night, but it has been delayed for so long and has not appeared, why is it?
Lin Ci was a little uneasy, but at this time, stabilizing the overall situation is the most important thing, he is not Shang Jue, he can't ignore the overall situation to find the day, and Shang Jue is out of the horse, he believes that it is better than anyone else.
Turning his head, Lin Qi dismounted and looked at the lieutenant of the Yan Kingdom, "Is Your Excellency the leader of the Yan Army?"
Lin Ci swept the Yan army on the tower of the city, and the little lieutenant immediately laughed, and arched his hand at Lin Ci, "I don't dare to say that the leader, the last general is just an adjutant, the war general took people to chase the Duan rebels, and the last general is temporarily in charge of the garrison in the west of the city." โ
Lin Ci took a shallow breath, the lieutenant in front of him was also a dusty servant, he didn't have time to thank Shang Jue seriously just now, but at this time he said very solemnly, "Thanks to you for coming in time, otherwise this place would not be saved, hard work brothers." โ
When the lieutenant heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said with a smile, "The general doesn't have to be polite! Actually, we are here to greet you!"
The lieutenant smiled and showed a mouthful of big white teeth, but these words made Lin Ci's heart move slightly, these 10,000 horses came day and night, and even said that it was Shang Jue to welcome relatives, this welcome relatives are naturally not really welcome, presumably on the way Shang Jue knew what happened in Baling, but Shang Jue brought 10,000 horses, what he wanted to do most was to welcome his relatives, raised his eyes and looked at the sky, Lin Ci didn't know what time it was, but it must have passed, and it was the first day of November.
This day was originally the day when he got married and went to Yan Kingdom.
"Commander Lin! Fifty miles to the north, traces of a large army have been found, it seems to be an army in the direction of Xiangzhou-"
At the city gate, a group of fast horse scouts hurriedly entered the city, originally going to the south of the city, but saw Lin Ci, so he immediately came to pray, Lin Ci first read the word "Zhu Qin" with his eyes grinding his teeth, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
The flames of the Yan Kingdom have arrived, Zhu Qin has arrived, and at this point, the danger of Baling has been solved.
But, what about the day and night? Lin Ci turned around, his brows furrowed tightly.
And at this moment, Shang Jue is also anxiously looking for traces of the morning and evening in the dark, the south of the city is huge, and the west of the city is even more so, this large area is connected, it is impossible to find the morning and evening in the shortest possible time.
Shang Jue suddenly stopped his horse and snorted lightly, "Bai Yue-"
When the words fell, a shadow immediately appeared in the darkness of the street, and there was a rush at the city gate, Shang Jue was afraid that Bai Yue's appearance would cause panic, so he let it hide in the darkness, Shang Jue was galloping on the main street, and Bai Yue was also following him to the south of the city in the alley on the street.
Shang Jue frowned, "Bai Yue, you have to help me, let's find her together, huh?"
Bai Yue seemed to understand, but didn't seem to understand, still circling around the horse's legs, Shang Jue took a deep breath, dropped the horsewhip and galloped towards one path after another by feeling, in Shang Jue's heart, what he was most looking forward to was the signal of Shen'er, but two quarters of an hour passed, he didn't wait for the signal of Shen'er, and in the darkness around him, there was no trace of the day and night.
The houses in the west of the city were closed, and when the war was tense, the people hid early, and every path was so quiet, except for the occasional patrol guard, Shang Jue couldn't even see the shadow of a living person.
The patrol guards had never seen Princess Shake Light, and his secret guards had not heard any news, Shang Jue was only eager to transfer all the defenders at the city gate to find the day, he was just a little late, why did he miss it with her?
And what was it that delayed her? Was someone trying to harm her?
"Whew-"
The anxiety in Shang Jue's heart rose to a critical point, he hadn't been so anxious for a long time, he thought that he wouldn't see her for a few months, and he would be able to see her when he entered the city, but he didn't expect that she would disappear like this.
The anxious Shang Jue didn't pay attention to Bai Yue's movements, until Bai Yue stopped at an alley and roared softly.
Reining in suddenly, Shang Jue looked in the direction Bai Yue was facing.
It was a very narrow passage, and that direction had long deviated from the direction of the south of the city to the west of the city, where it was already a long distance from the south of the city, and he was going to the west of the city every day, and there was no reason to go back when he got here, and he analyzed it rationally in his heart, but in the dark, it seemed that something was inexplicably attracting him.
After a moment of hesitation, Bai Yue roared again, Shang Jue didn't know if it was the morning and evening that made Bai Yue anxious, but he wanted to go and see, thinking so, Shang Jue turned his horse's head and walked towards the alley.
Walk straight along the laneway, after going out, it is a remote and dilapidated house, the night is cold, the cold wind is cool, the house in the night gives people an incomparably desolate feeling, and Bai Yue stopped screaming this time, it rushed straight towards a house with a closed courtyard door in front of the left, Shang Jue's heart was cold, and he was busy beating his horse to keep up, but before he approached the door, a strong and pungent smell of blood passed through the high wall of the closed courtyard gate, and swept towards Shang Jue......
