Chapter 64: Shocking Secrets
Old General Li Qingfeng looked at the map and sighed: "Even if we can grasp their movements, we still don't have an advantage. The difference in numbers and the elite of the army are incomparable, after all. Don't be careless. ”
"Thank you for the reminder." Yue Qingrou nodded and said: "Indeed, we are facing the army of the Steppe Wolf Court, and the result is probably not optimistic, I don't know if you have any good solutions."
"Facing the army of the Steppe Wolf Court head-on, our chances of victory are basically small." Leng Ling'er drew her finger on the map: "Judging from their disappearance in this area, they should also have plans to fight with us, so they entered the plain, the place where they can give full play to the advantages of cavalry." In my opinion, we only have to defend to be the best policy. ”
"What you said is light, we are simply defending, if they don't attack, it's just a joke." Yue Qingrou retorted.
"Hmph, how do you know that they won't come to attack us, our number is smaller than them, we are at a disadvantage, and there is a high possibility that they will attack." Leng Ling'er slapped the table suddenly, crawled forward with her hands on the table, and glared at Yue Qingrou.
Yue Qingrou also stared at her with the same table: "We didn't have the opportunity to wait for this possibility, and our food and grass won't last that long." You must know that because of their plunder, the surrounding nobles have already drawn a large part of their supplies to appease the homeless. Their support for our food and grass is already the last part. ”
"Can you two stop arguing?" Yun Qing felt a little headache, and looked at Li Qingfeng and Hong Xiao as if asking for help, but saw that one of these two closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep, and the other looked up at the top of the tent, and had no intention of helping at all.
"Shut up." At two o'clock, he shouted at Yun Qing: "You say, is it wrong for this woman to say?"
"What you're saying is wrong. Phew, don't learn me to speak. I'm right."
The two women spoke in unison, saying exactly the same thing, and then the two glared angrily again.
Yun Qingxin said that you want me to shut up, and asked me who is right, how can I speak
"Well, I thought of a way for them to be able to attack us." Yun Qing laughed, he finally had a way to divert the attention of these two people.
"What way" The two women asked at the same time, and then when they heard each other's words, they snorted coldly again, and each turned his head.
"Aren't they looking for something" Yun Qing laughed: "As long as we find that thing first, and then let the wind out." How do you say they will choose, firstly, because there is a huge gap in strength between us and them, and secondly, the purpose of their entry into the empire this time, what they are looking for, falls into our hands."
The two women rolled their eyes at the same time: "Don't be stupid, we don't know what they found." "Do you know what they're looking for?"
"Go and ask the villagers they've captured. Maybe they'll hear something during their captivity. Yun Qing walked out with a smile: "Han Zhen, Chen Xun, the two of you take a few soldiers and ask those villagers if they have heard any news, such as what the troops of the Steppe Wolf Court are looking for." ”
The two men who were waiting outside the tent were immediately ordered to go down.
"I'll ask the girl." Yunqing turned his head to the two women who were still in the tent and said, "You continue." ”
"Who's going to continue, shut up," the two women replied in unison.
Now that I think about it, the divine light in the depths of the girl's eyes is exactly the same as that of the shopkeeper of Yanyulou, by the way, who else seems to be the same, does this girl have a third identity Yun Qing suddenly remembered something in his heart, and secretly wondered.
Yun Qing returned to his big tent, looked at the girl who was still pale and lay in the bed, and asked slowly, "Are you the shopkeeper of Yanyu Building?"
Looking at the look of surprise in the girl's eyes, Yun Qingxin said, it seems that she guessed correctly: "Okay, don't talk nonsense." I want to ask you, do you know what the army of the Steppe Wolf Court is looking for Now that we are at a disadvantage, it is impossible to defeat them head-on. The only way to lead them to attack is to rely on our geographical advantage to defend and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. If only we could know what they're looking for."
"You're right." The girl finally spoke, her voice was crisp and pleasant, which made people feel refreshed: "I am indeed the shopkeeper of Yanyu Building." ”
Yun Qingxin said, sure enough.
"With your identity, how did you come here" Yun Qing was a little curious, the shopkeeper of Yanyu Building, such a mysterious figure in the legend, it seems that he shouldn't have appeared here
There was a hint of helplessness in the girl's eyes: "Yunqing, what I say next will be something that can turn the entire empire upside down, can I trust you?"
Yun Qing was stunned when he heard this, what does this mean to make the empire turn the world upside down, what kind of joke is it possible that the Great Emperor Ling Tianhe has already died, but if this is the case, wouldn't the old thief of the East China Sea Gong already tell the world, and then find a way to put his nephew on the throne
Seeing that Yun Qing was stunned and did not answer, the girl asked again, "Can I trust you?"
"Of course." Yun Qing came back to his senses: "Now the empire has been turned upside down. What could be more important than now."
The girl smiled wryly when she heard this: "Indeed, it has been turned upside down now. Well, I'll just trust you. Yunqing, I am Ling Yue, I am the crown prince Ling Yue. ”
"What" Yun Qing was stunned for a moment, and then looked incredulous: "Don't lie to people, although I don't know much about the affairs of you princes and nobles, I still know the difference between men and women." ”
As he spoke, Yun Qing reached out and lifted the quilt, put his hand on the girl's chest, and then pinched it: "It's so soft, it's obvious that it's a woman." ”
The girl's pretty face turned red to the base of her neck in an instant: "Yunqing, you, you, you are looking for death, I will kill you." ”
This is like what the prince said. But you're a woman. Yun Qing reluctantly took his hand back, feeling so comfortable.
"You" The girl gasped for a while, her injuries were not healed, and she was weak, and she even said so many words with her breath, which made her tired and panting, and sweat flowed down her forehead.
"Okay, okay, I apologize. I'm just confirming. Yun Qing was worried that she would tear the wound in anger, which would not be good.
"I don't need you to confirm, I know I'm a woman." The girl gritted her teeth and glared at Yun Qing: "I am indeed a woman, but I am also indeed a prince." Because when I appeared with my father, I always dressed up as men. From beginning to end, there was no prince in the royal family, only a young one was born nineteen years ago, but the father announced to the public that the queen mother gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses. Do you understand?"
Speaking of this, Yun Qing still doesn't understand. The emotional emperor Ling Tianhe has been childless since the inexplicable death of those princes, and after having such a little princess in his later years, he is riddled with illness and knows that he may not be able to have children in the future. So he hid it and claimed that he had given birth to twins.
"Since he was a child, his father tried not to let the prince show up in the name of guarding against assassins, and only the little princess Ling Yue'er often appeared. It wasn't until I became sensible that my father told me a qiē, and from that time on, I became the crown prince Ling Yue, often accompanying my father and the emperor, and began to appear in front of ministers. Of course, these alone can't hide from those old foxes, so my father took great pains to send to the islands inhabited by overseas orcs, and found the fox tribe to make props for camouflage, so that I could not be recognized, and I could change my voice to a male voice. Ling Yue'er said softly.
"It's not easy for you." Yun Qing agreed with Ling Yue'er's words, she was so tired of pretending to be someone who looked the same, not to mention that she had to play the roles of princess and prince.
"yes. Sometimes I often think that it would be nice if this kind of life could be over. But I also knew I couldn't do that. Once my identity is revealed, the ministers and nobles will not support me. The empire will also be torn apart, and when war resumes and the people are displaced, what I carry on my shoulders is the stability of the empire and the peace of millions of people. No matter what, I'm going to grit my teeth and hold on. Ling Yue'er's voice was full of determination.
"Then why don't you pretend now," Yun Qing asked.
"It's all to blame Sun Canghai and his son." Ling Yue'er's voice was full of hatred: "He drugged my food that day, but it was found out by the guards around me. Then he sent a martial arts powerhouse who was secretly brought in the military camp to besiege me. If it weren't for the sacrifice of many of my guards to escort me out of the barracks, I am afraid I would have died at his hands. ”
"I see, when I said I wanted to see you, he first said that you were going out to make an inspection, and soon he transferred me away in the name of transporting grain. Later, he took over the military power in the name of your acute illness, hum" Yunqing only then understood the situation at that time.
"yes. But that's not all. In order to prevent defeat, they actually made a deal with the Steppe Wolf Court, don't you want to know what the army of the Steppe Wolf Court is looking for Yes, what they are looking for is me, the Imperial Prince Ling Yue. Ling Yue'er said coldly: "It's just that they couldn't have imagined that when I broke through, the props used for camouflage were shattered by a strong man who attacked, and I couldn't keep my disguise anymore, and the identity of Prince Ling Yue, in a sense, was completely dead." Thankfully, my guards were loyal to me, and even when they found out who I was, they continued to protect me, moving from village to village under my command to evade the Steppe Wolves' army. It's just that after rescuing the villagers, I don't know how many of them are still alive. ”
Yun Qing nodded: "I believe what you said." ”
"Why aren't you afraid that I will lie to you," Ling Yue'er asked curiously.
"Eyes." Yun Qing laughed: "Thinking about it now, whether it is you now, the shopkeeper of Yanyu Building, or the prince Ling Yue, the divine light in the depths of your eyes is exactly the same." ”
