Chapter 271: One Horse Retreats Ten Thousand Armies
Hearing that Cheng Yue had come to Hongzhou, Wu Zizheng was very taken aback, and hurriedly put down his errand to defend the city and ran to the teleportation array to see Cheng Yue. And Cheng Yue didn't wait in the teleportation array, as soon as the teleportation array started, he rushed to the city gate facing the border, so, without any suspense, Cheng Yue and Wu Zizheng bumped into each other halfway through.
"Master Guoshi, what are you going to do when you come back this time?" Wu Zizheng saw that Cheng Yue was followed by Nangong Mei, and there was not even a single soldier or general, so he knew that this thing was definitely not here to support Hongzhou, but had other plans.
Cheng Yue didn't mean to hide it, and said generously: "I plan to go to Bianjing of the Jin Kingdom to clarify the misunderstanding." ”
"What?!"
Wu Zizheng was dumbfounded at that time, he never thought that Cheng Yue would do such a stupid thing. Just kidding, is there any essential difference between this and a meat bun beating a dog?
"Master Guoshi, don't joke with me, this joke is not funny at all. Wu Zizheng said with a smile that was uglier than crying.
Cheng Yue rolled his eyes, God is pitiful, it is rare for him to tell the truth, why does no one believe it?
"I'm going to Bianjing, Jin Kingdom, you wait to open the city gate, I want to go out of the city. Cheng Yue said with a serious face.
Wu Zizheng saw that he was coming for real, and suddenly his expression fell as if he had lost millions of taels of silver in a bet.
Cheng Yue didn't talk nonsense with Wu Zizheng anymore, just urged the horse to gallop, and soon came to the south gate of Hongzhou.
"Open the city gate!" Cheng Yue commanded in a deep voice.
Wu Zizheng persuaded with a bitter face: "Master National Teacher, you won't think about it anymore?"
"What are so many words?" Cheng Yue glared at Wu Zizheng impatiently, "Old Wu, can't you still believe it?"
Wu Zizheng sighed, didn't say anything more, walked to the city gate, and ordered the guards to open the city gate.
"Squeak!"
With a tooth-aching sound, the tall and wide gate slowly opened, and the drawbridge facing the gate was lowered.
"I'll be back in a few days. Cheng Yue said to Wu Zizheng, then whipped the horse and galloped out of the city. Nangong Mei urged Ma to follow closely, looking at her expression without hesitation, don't say it, it's really a bit of life and death.
At this time, the Jin army outside the city was sorting out the formation, preparing to attack the city, and suddenly saw the city gate wide open, and thought that the Snow Country army was going to launch a counter-charge, and was very frightened, and under the orders of officers at all levels, they hurriedly put on a posture like a great enemy.
After seeing that there were only two horsemen out of the city, these Jin soldiers even had the heart to scold their mothers.
"It doesn't matter if you two are tired of life and want to die, but don't scare grandpa?
The other Jin soldiers and this soldier had similar thoughts, but they didn't say it.
"Shoot these two deadly ones into a sieve for me!" ordered the Jin general, who commanded the crossbowmen, in a loud voice.
"No!"
The crossbowmen answered neatly, and immediately bent their bows and arrows, pointing their longbows diagonally towards the sky.
"Put!"
General Jin gave an order.
"Buzz!"
The next moment, in the neat sound of the bowstring, countless arrows gathered together and flew into the sky like dark clouds!
"Mei'er, hide behind me!" Cheng Yue hurriedly reminded loudly.
Nangong Mei pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice, "I didn't intend to stand in front of you." ”
Cheng Yue didn't hear what she was muttering, and at this time his attention was completely focused on the rain of arrows that had crossed the parabola and were falling towards his head!
"Barrier!"
Cheng Yue burst into a shout, pushed forward with both hands, and two layers of True Xi Barrier suddenly emerged from the void, blocking the top of his and Nangong Mei's heads.
It's too late, it's fast, and the rain of arrows will arrive in a blink of an eye!
"Ding, ding, ding!"
The sound of the arrow hitting the barrier immediately sounded rapidly, occasionally mixed with the "click" sound of the True Dawn barrier shattering, and the dense sound was simply numb!
"Sister, it's too much!"
The sweat on Cheng Yue's head immediately fell, but after a breath, his True Xi barrier was smashed hard, and when the arrow rain all fell, he and Nangong Mei were afraid that they would have to become hedgehogs!
"Taiyin armor, armor ice wall!"
Cheng Yue frantically urged the power of Taiyin in his body, and built another wall of ice in front of him at an angle of forty-five degrees to the ground, just enough to cover the ice wall above his and Nangong Mei's heads.
"Ding!"
As the last arrow slammed into the ice wall and bounced off, the rain of arrows was finally over.
Cheng Yue wiped the cold sweat on his head and walked out from behind the ice wall with Nangong Mei.
Two layers of True Dawn armor and a wall of Xuanxi, there is only one person in the world who can build such a defense system, seeing this, the Jin army on the opposite side instantly knew who the people who went out of the city were, and they all shouted:
"Cheng thief! It's Cheng thief who goes out of the city!"
"Kill him! Avenge Master Lu!"
"Two people dare to go out of the city to invite battle, and there is no one to bully me?!"
The more Cheng Yue listened, the more wrong he became, and he hurriedly explained in a loud voice: "I'm not out to fight with you, I'm going to Bianjing to see your king, before I come back, you'd better stop all siege operations!"
"What did I hear?" a Jin general looked at his colleague with a confused expression, "Cheng Thief said that he was going to Bianjing to see the king?"
His colleague shook his head: "That's right, that's what he said. ”
"Hahaha!" General Jin laughed heartily, tears were about to fall, "Everyone in my Jin country was punished by him, he still wanted to go to Bianjing, could it be that he took the wrong medicine and lost his mind?"
My colleague also laughed: "Who knows? Maybe I didn't take medicine today and got sick!"
For a while, the laughter in the Jin army continued to sound, and everyone looked at Cheng Yue as if they were looking at a neurotic, even the snow army at the head of Hongzhou City also looked strange, and they didn't know what to say about their national teacher......
"Laugh at it?"
Cheng Yue's brain jumped when he heard this, and he glanced at Jin Jun and said loudly: "I have obtained conclusive evidence that I was not killed by Master Lu, and this time I went to Bianjing to clarify everything! You and I are allies between our two countries, and seeing each other with swords and soldiers can only make the relatives painful, and the enemies are happy, don't you understand this truth? Now that we finally have a chance to end this farce, don't you want it?"
When Jin Jun heard what he said, he couldn't help but stop laughing and looked at each other.
"How do I know you're not playing a delaying tactic?" a Jin general asked aloud.
Cheng Yue rolled his eyes and looked at the man: "Have you ever seen someone who even got into it with himself as a delaying tactic?"
The Jin general was speechless for a moment.
"Don't you want to retreat back to the camp?" Cheng Yue asked sharply.
The generals of the Jin army all set their sights on their commander, Liu Yuangu, the envoy of the Jianwu Army.
Liu Yuangu pondered for a while, and said loudly: "Cheng Yue, the marshal only gives you three days, if you don't come back with the truce order of the imperial court within three days, this Hongzhou city marshal still has to fight!"
Cheng Yue glanced at the general in gold armor, nodded, and agreed: "No problem, I will definitely come back with a truce order in three days!"
"Withdraw the troops!" Liu Yuangu did not hesitate any longer, waved his hand, and gave the order to withdraw and return to the camp.
"Whew!"
The defenders at the head of Hongzhou City, including Wu Zizheng, all breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Cheng Yue with a complicated expression, not only admiring Cheng Yue's courage, but also worried about Cheng Yue's future.
Cheng Yue jumped off the horse and stretched out his hand to Nangong Mei behind him: "Come down, it's time for us to change flights!"
Nangong Mei nodded softly, turned over and dismounted, and threw her delicate body into Cheng Yue's arms.
Cheng Yue didn't delay any longer, grabbed Nangong Mei's slender waist, and rushed into the sky with Lin Ying steps, heading straight to Bianjing, the capital of the Jin Kingdom.
Rushing at twice the speed of sound is naturally much faster than riding a horse, and at noon that day, Cheng Yue and Nangong Mei came to the gate of Bianjing City.
Cheng Yue originally wanted to fly directly into the royal city, but was persuaded by Nangong Mei, for no other reason, it was too abrupt to fly directly into the royal city, coupled with Cheng Yue's sensitive identity, maybe the people of the Jin Kingdom would not listen to Cheng Yue's explanation at all, and they would fight with Cheng Yue endlessly.
However, Nangong Mei did not let him go through the formal envoy interview process, but asked him to find a related acquaintance.
"Go to Ji He?!" Cheng Yue looked at Nangong Mei with a stunned expression.
"Yes. Nangong Mei smiled and nodded, "Right now, Ji Xuan is dead, the second prince Ji He is the most popular candidate for the next generation of kings of the Jin Kingdom, and he has a lot of power in his hands, although your relationship with him is not as close as Xue Yu, but it is also a lifelong friendship, if you can get his support, the success rate of this trip will be much greater." ”
"Mei'er, you're so smart!I love you so much!" Cheng Yue was overjoyed, and couldn't help hugging Nangong Mei and kissing her the cheek.
"Badass!"
Nangong Mei wiped the saliva on her face with a handkerchief, and said with a disgusted expression.
