Chapter Ninety-Five: The Battle of Yuncheng (Second Watch)
"I followed the prince to Jingzhou, but on the way, I was arranged by the prince to follow the Jiangmeijiang divine doctor to Jingling."
"What? The prince came to Jingzhou? The landlord stood up and interrupted when he heard this, as if he was a little excited and surprised.
"Yes, the prince is in Yuncheng now." Dongcheng replied.
The landlord put his hands behind his back and paced to Dongcheng's side, "He wants to defend Yuncheng?" He paused for a moment, then said, "We will attack from behind, just in time to defeat Xu Xiaoyuan and recapture Jingling." ”
"Yes!" The disciples in the hall responded.
"Yi Qing, you go and gather our men and horses, and gather outside the city at four o'clock!" He commanded aloud.
"Yes!" The man named Yi Qing walked towards the outside of the temple with two subordinates after receiving the order.
The landlord turned his head, looked at Dongcheng and asked, "You said you came to Jingling with that medical girl?" What did she do in Jingling? ”
"I don't know the specifics, every time she discusses things with Mu Shizi, we stand far away, and after she arrives at Jingling, she only lives in the Pinglan Inn, and she doesn't see any movement. I always thought she was weird, but I couldn't see the slightest problem. Dongcheng frowned and replied, all the way down, he really didn't see Jiang Mei's road clearly.
He remembered the contest with Jiuzhu on the boat, so he added: "However, there is a master by her side, named Jiuzhu, Jiuzhu went to protect the prince, and I was brought to Jingling by Jiang Mei. ”
The landlord nodded slightly, "No matter where she comes from, I don't think she can make any waves as a medical girl, you go back to her first, and then make plans when we return to the city." ”
"Yes, then Dongcheng went back first, the landlord should pay more attention to safety!" After saying that, Dongcheng saluted the landlord, and then left quickly without looking back.
Outside the city at four o'clock, there was smoke and silence, and the cold wind blew the leaves rustling. A strong army dressed in black gathered in a col outside the city, and they waited quietly for their master.
After half a column of incense. There was the sound of horses' hooves, and after a while, everyone saw a man with a silver mask riding a tall white horse towards the col.
The soldiers were all admiring and solemn. The horse stopped at the front of the line. In order not to be discovered, the soldiers just quietly looked at the master on the horse.
I saw that he was tall, with a straight waist, a silver armor shining in the moonlight, and he was wearing a silver mask. But the dark eyes behind the mask shone brightly, and wisps of smoke swept past him, revealing his independence in the thick of the night.
Yi Qing's scorching eyes looked at the man in armor on the horse, and his heart was extremely shocked: no wonder he always felt that the landlord had an indescribable temperament, but now when he looked at it, the majestic and heroic body, the majestic and neat look, today I know that it is an innate military temperament. That moment. He was glad that he had followed such a master, even if he was in the heat of the fire, he would not give up.
"Let's go!" The owner of the silver armor raised the sword in his hand and said in a loud voice.
With his order, the black-clothed soldiers followed their leader in the direction of Yuncheng with neat steps.
On October 24, the 14th year of Dahuan Jingxi, as soon as the sky was bright, a guard hurriedly ran to the house where Mu Xiaohe lived in Yuncheng, and he ran all the way to the study where Mu Xiaohe was.
"Shizi—" he said as he stepped into the study, panting.
Mu Xiaohe had already calculated that Xu Xiaoyuan should come today, so he woke up early. Waiting for news in the study.
"Hurry up and say what it looks like, slowly." Mu Xiaohe didn't raise his head, but just commanded lightly.
"It's... The prince, Xu Xiaoyuan came in the direction of Yuncheng with 20,000 soldiers and horses. It is believed that they will reach the city in a few hours. The guard slowly calmed down and replied.
"I see, you go down first!" Mu Xiaohe still looked peaceful, and he didn't look like he was facing a great enemy.
As soon as the guard stepped out of the study, Jiuzhu came in, and he took a piece of silk cloth and handed it to Mu Xiaohe. "Shizi, this is Miss's flying pigeon biography."
Mu Xiaohe saw that it was Jiang Mei's letter, his expression moved, and he immediately took the silk cloth, he opened it and saw four elegant and chic handwriting - "Okay, don't read it!" He smiled on his lips, then rolled up the strip of cloth and lit it on the candle flame.
"Jiuzhu, you go and call the guards of Yuncheng to come over." Mu Xiaohe looked at the strip of cloth that was about to burn out and commanded.
Jiuzhu answered and immediately walked out of the study.
Not long after, Song Qi, who was dressed in military uniform, heard that Mu Shizi wanted to see him, so he immediately changed his clothes and rushed to his house.
Jiuzhu led Song Qi into the study and said, "Shizi, Lord Song is here." He stood aside.
"Song Qi has seen the son!" Song Qi arched his hand, his expression was very respectful, he never thought that he could see the dignitaries of the imperial court in such a remote town.
Mu Xiaohe turned around and said with a smile: "Call Lord Song so early, don't look at your lord!" He was still humble and courteous.
"The prince of the world must not be polite, the Song period is terrified!" Song Qi bowed his head again and said.
"Lord Song, now Xu Xiaoyuan has come to Yuncheng with troops, and Yuncheng only has 5,000 soldiers, I hope that your Excellency will obey my dispatch and defend Yuncheng together." Xiao and Zhengsedao.
"But by the command of the Son!" Song Qi also replied with a calm expression. If he had been so frightened that he couldn't sleep earlier, although there were only 5,000 soldiers, as soon as he saw Mu Xiaohe, he felt that Yuncheng was worry-free. The Mu Shizi in front of him has a reassuring and convincing temperament. Therefore, you just have to follow his arrangement.
"Alright, then please go and arrange according to my instructions, and remove all the guards of the city wall and the city gate first." Before Mu Xiaohe finished speaking, Song Qi's eyes widened in surprise, he really didn't understand what this move meant?
Mu Xiaohe ignored his surprise first, and then said: "Your Excellency with five thousand soldiers is guarding the south side of Yuncheng, waiting for my flag order. ”
Song Qi only understood what Mu Xiaohe meant, but he still couldn't help but ask, "Shizi, isn't it too dangerous for you to do this?" ”
Mu Xiaohe said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements, you can do as I say." ”
Song Qi saw that his expression was relaxed, and although he was hesitant in his heart, he still nodded heavily, "Obey!" After saying that, he saluted Mu Xiaohe and retreated.
Two hours later, Xu Xiaoyuan's army arrived at the city of Yuncheng after a night of rapid travel. Although Yuncheng is a small city, its geographical location is quite important, so Xu Xiaoyuan also cheered up and looked at Yuncheng, but he couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at it.
I saw that although the gate of Yuncheng was closed, the suspension bridge was long and the quaint city wall was quiet and quiet under the light of the morning sun, and the whole small city was shrouded in a peaceful scene.
At this time, the deputy general beside him also noticed something unusual, frowned and said: "General, why is this Yuncheng so strange, there is no military flag on the city wall, and there is not a single guard on the second, is there something strange?" (To be continued.) )
PS: Hee-hee, tomorrow, let's watch Mu Shizi show his might.
