Chapter 14: Night Attack on Xicheng
The atmosphere was awkward, Yu Jinfan's eyes inadvertently swept over the messy stone hill, and asked casually, "Do you know the messy stone hill?" ”
Shen Rui touched her nose, swept away the annoying embarrassment, and raised her chin to point at the stone hill: "But where is it?" I heard a few veterans mention that there is an alliance with the west on the left, and a narrow back road on the right, and this chaotic stone hill is the fortress ahead. ”
Yu Jinfan didn't want to ask, but when he heard her say this, he was really interested and asked, "Do you know where the danger is?" ”
"A lot of rocks?"
"Nanmu only knows one thing, but doesn't know the other." Yu Jinfan said, looking at the rocky place, his eyes became sharper and sharper: "Have you ever heard of Prince An Zaimao of Rampant Ping?" ”
"You say it stinks-" Shen Rui hurriedly retracted the flaw that almost came out, and smiled at Yu Jinfan's puzzled gaze: "That is rampant and arrogant, and the prince must not be very good." ”
"Nanmu is wrong." Yu Jinfan said, his eyes turned back to the chaotic stone, and his brows were knotted: "The chaotic stone formation in this chaotic stone hill is what he did." ”
"Stone Henge?"
Yu Jinfan nodded, his mind heavy and unconvinced: "Even if it's me, I haven't found this way to break the formation." ”
When Shen Rui heard this, she couldn't help but look at the pile of rocks a few more times: "Except for chaos, I really don't see any fame." ”
Yu Jinfan saw her eyebrows knotted sideways, smiled slightly, and explained: "Look at that place, look at that place, what can you find?" ”
Shen Rui carefully compared what she said, and after a while, she was surprised: "If this place is reversed, it is exactly the same as that place!" ”
The smile on Yu Jinfan's face deepened: "Nan Mu is smart." ”
Shen Rui raised her chin unceremoniously and said proudly: "Shizi is right, I have no other skills, but I have been smart since I was a child." ”
Yu Jinfan couldn't help but laugh at her smug appearance, shook his head and smiled: "It's the first time I've seen someone boast so much about their faces." ”
"Because I'm telling the truth." Shen Rui curled the corners of her lips, although she was proud, she didn't forget the doubts in her heart, and asked, "Does the prince know what this formation is?" ”
"Yin and Yang Array." Yu Jinfan is colorful.
Shen Rui was stunned: "Yin and yang? But the five elements of yin and yang? ”
"Nanmu has also studied?" Yu Jinfan was shocked.
Shen Rui hurriedly shook his head: "It's not me, it's - I've only heard others talk about it." ”
Yu Jinfan glanced at her suspiciously, but didn't ask again.
At that time, the capital of Southern Chu.
When the border battle situation reached the palace, the king of Southern Chu was overjoyed, and praised Shizifan's extraordinary ability when the dynasty praised Shizifan's mother, Mrs. Tong, with ten thousand taels of gold.
After retreating, Yu Chenghai walked out with a gloomy face.
"Second brother, wait." Yu Yunyan called and hurriedly chased after him.
"Seventh brother is looking for me?" Yu Chenghai smiled and said with a smile.
"Naturally, I'm looking for the second brother to celebrate!" Yu Yunyan smiled harmlessly.
Yu Chenghai frowned: "What is there to congratulate?" ”
"The fifth brother has won the lesson, how can you not congratulate such a happy event?" As he spoke, Yu Yunyan leaned his head in front of Yu Chenghai, revealing a puzzled look: "Huh? The second brother doesn't seem to be very happy? ”
"How could it! The fifth brother has made meritorious contributions, and I am naturally happy for her. ”
Yu Yunyan blinked: "Really? ”
Yu Chenghai squeezed out a smile and shirked: "It's not a coincidence, the queen mother has been unwell in recent days, and I am about to visit." ”
"It's really a coincidence like this," Yu Yunyan showed a look of pity, and said respectfully: "Then please ask the second brother to say hello to the queen mother on my behalf." ”
Yu Chenghai said yes, turned his head and left, his face instantly turned pale.
Yu Yunyan looked at his back, straightened his sleeves with satisfaction, and turned around to go to the Qianhua Palace where Mrs. Tong lived.
In Qianhua Palace, Mrs. Tong was sipping tea leisurely, obviously just an ordinary action, but in her, it became elegant.
"Mother, mother."
Before seeing him, he heard his voice first, and Mrs. Tong put down the teacup with a warm smile, sat up straight, and straightened out her clothes. In a few moments, the excited man ran in, his face full of cheerfulness.
"Mother, the fifth brother was defeated and retreated rampantly at the beginning of the battle! Win! ”
"Really?" The smile on Mrs. Tong's face deepened, and her uneasy heart in the past few days has been relieved a lot.
Yu Yunyan nodded, stepped forward and took her hand affectionately: "My father also praised the fifth brother in the court, and I am afraid that the reward of the mother concubine will come in a while." ”
Mrs. Tong patted her chest: "It's okay for her to be fine." As she spoke, she noticed that the person in front of her was drenched in sweat, and hurriedly called: "Fuxiu, quickly pour a cup of tea for Gongziyan." ”
Yu Yunyan squinted and asked Mrs. Tong to help him wipe his sweat with satisfaction, and proudly told him about meeting Yu Chenghai when he came. "The mother concubine didn't see how ugly the second brother's smile was." Yu Yunyan clutched his stomach and smiled.
Mrs. Tong poked his forehead through the silk handkerchief and reminded: "You kid, you have no mouth again." ”
Yu Yunyan pulled her arm and coquettishly said: "The fifth brother is not here, and I can only dare to be presumptuous in my mother's concubine." ”
"You." Mrs. Tong shook her head and smiled, pulling the person to her side to speak. Sure enough, within a while, the people of the inner court came with the reward of gold and silver.
Qianhua Palace is festive, and the Baizhan Palace, which is not far away, can be described as gloomy.
"Not even a single soldier was captured, the king actually rewarded the fox with ten thousand taels of gold, if the prince really fought the battle, the king would not give her the throne!" Queen Zhong was so angry that she slapped her palms on the table.
"Queen Mother, we can't sit still anymore, otherwise this Nanchu country will really fall into the hands of others!" Yu Chenghai said urgently.
Queen Zhong's eyes swept towards him: "What does Hai'er want to do?" ”
Yu Chenghai's eyes were full of murderous intent: "Isn't she at the border?" Then we'll keep her there forever! ”
The days are fleeting, ten days have passed, the rampant grain and grass will be exhausted, and Xicheng, who has been robbed of grain and grass, has been hungry for two days, and has fallen to the point of digging grass and killing horses to satisfy hunger.
Calculating the right time, Yu Jinfan summoned Wu Gong and Dong Zhun late at night without warning, and the three of them discussed, Dong Zhun led 5,000 cavalry to attack the Xicheng camp at night, and Wu Gong led the troops to stay in case of emergency.
Shen Rui was sleeping sweetly, when she suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the tent, and sat up in shock. Bimachi, who had always been alert, woke up before her, and when he came back from outside the tent, he saw that she was awake, and said, "It seems that the cavalry is traveling." ”
Shen Rui frowned, a trip at night? She put on her shoes and walked out of the tent to see it herself. The moonlight was faint, and the bustling herds of horses ran out, and it was difficult to tell the numbers.
Bi Ding came out to help her put on her clothes, and looked at the horses that were gradually moving away: "In that direction, it should be the Xicheng battle camp." ”
"I heard that Rampant Ping has robbed all the grain and grass in Naxicheng." Shen Rui bit her finger and said, suddenly, she smiled: "You sleep first, I'll go back when I go." After that, before Bicho could speak, the man disappeared like an arrow from the string.
The main tent was brightly lit, Shen Rui's eyes rolled, and she quietly approached the tent window.
Shen Rui was shocked, and quickly retreated to dodge.
The man moved very fast, and soon followed, every punch and leg were very spicy, and Shen Rui, who thought he was good at kung fu, also felt struggling. "Who are you to dare to be presumptuous in the main tent!" Shen Rui shouted when she was tired from fighting.
Listening to her voice over there, she hurriedly stopped her movements: "Nan soldiers? ”
When Shen Rui heard this, she called out: "Min Hyuk?!" ”
Min Hyuk ignored her surprise, frowned and said, "What are you doing sneaking around at night in the next world?" ”
"Let's play chess with the world." Shen Rui said.
Min Hyuk's eyes lit up dangerously: "Playing chess and not going to the main gate? ”
Shen Rui shrugged: "It's not that I'm afraid that the prince will sleep, let's make sure first." ”
"Sure? I think you're plotting against you! Min Hyuk said coldly, his hands already in a fist.
"Minhyuk, let her in." Yu Jinfan's calm voice came from inside the tent.
Min Hyuk glared at Shen Rui fiercely, turned around and entered the tent through the main entrance.
"Little girl, it's pretty powerful." Shen Rui hooked her lips and entered the tent through the main entrance with regret.
"It seems that Nanmu doesn't like to go through the front door." Yu Jinfan looked up at the people who came in, and his face was cold and cold, and he couldn't see joy or anger.
"Shizi, this person is sneaky in the middle of the night, he must not be a good person!"
"Stop, I'm just going to jump out of the window at most."
Min Hyuk raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "Didn't you just say that you visited the son of the world to sleep, why did you become a window jump now?" ”
"If I tell you to jump out of the window, you won't abolish me on the spot." As she spoke, Shen Rui muttered: "I knew that you were powerful, but I didn't expect it to be underestimated." ”
"Shizi, this person is dangerous." Min Hyuk said urgently.
"It's going to be dangerous, it's going to be dangerous." Shen Rui said, smiling evilly, and there were words in his words: "You don't know, the first time I and the prince and I met was not the main gate, right, the prince?" ”
Min Hyuk wondered, "Didn't you save the son in the water?" ”
"Yes, in the water." Shen Rui said, looking at Yu Jinfan with a smile.
Yu Jinfan glanced at Shen Rui coldly and turned to Min He: "Min He, you can rest." ”
Min Hyuk glared and pointed at Shen Rui in disbelief: "Shizi, she-"
"Rest obediently, don't disturb us to get down to business." Shen Rui waved her hand lazily, and didn't want to throw an ambiguous look at Yu Jinfan.
Yu Jinfan didn't look at her at all, and his eyes signaled that Min Hyuk was relieved.
Minhyuk stomped his foot in frustration and reluctantly left the tent.
"Nanmu, are you guilty?" Coldly, Yu Jinfan asked.
Shen Ruijing took the tea in front of her and took a sip: "Good tea." Putting down the teacup, she looked at Yu Jinfan with a smile: "Before the prince asks about the crime, why don't you ask me why I visited late at night?" ”
Yu Jinfan took a new cup and filled it with tea, and said without raising his head: "Why did Nanmu visit late at night?" ”
"Those cavalry who traveled were attacking Xicheng camp at night?" Shen Rui asked.
Yu Jinfan didn't hide it either, and nodded.
Shen Rui smiled and asked again: "The prince took the opportunity to fight Xicheng, have you ever thought about completely ruining the rampant Xicheng Alliance?" ”
Yu Jinfan's eyes flashed brightly, and when he saw her confident face, there was a smile on his face: "It seems that Nanmu has a good plan." ”
