Chapter 46: Falling apart [2]
The sun is getting higher, but it makes people feel a little lazy, not as vicious as summer, but not as warm as spring, like an old man in his old age, barely maintaining his vitality, the boundless silver-white in the mountains, like a merciless mockery, mocking its weakness.
The iron-like camp at the foot of the mountain seemed to be emitting bursts of ridicule, laughing at the top of Shu Mountain, this group of cowards who couldn't shrink from the turtle.
A touch of cold sweat appeared on Si You's forehead, in the snowy winter, his heart seemed to be burning in the fire, looking at many Shushan disciples, fighting desperately for survival, while he was here to escape responsibility, such a sense of powerlessness made his heart like a knife.
Suddenly, there was an intoxicating warmth behind him, such warmth seemed to be able to dispel the cold of the world, and dispel all the troubles in the world, a lock of beautiful hair flying gently, slender willow eyebrows, a pair of eyes looking forward to charming, a straight nose, slightly reddened cheeks, dripping cherry-like lips, white as snow delicate and crystal like jade, jade grease-like skin complexion, slender figure, demure and calm.
But it was his fiancΓ©e, who was honest and sacrificing.
"How did you get back?" Si You was a little surprised, at this time on weekdays, she would never appear here.
"All the responsibilities, all the pain is chosen to be borne by one person, have you forgotten it, I am your wife?" The man in front of Lian Zhen was completely reversed, looking directly at the once arrogant eyes, but at this moment, all he saw from them was the heaviness that could not be dissolved.
"I'm sorry, A-Ruo, for worrying you...... Tell me about coming here, what's going on, I know your character all too well. Si You looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with a bit of fortitude, and finally had a smile in his eyes.
"Huh...... Sure enough, you know me best, I just received the news that Mingchuan sent his people down the mountain to assassinate Princess Yuyang......"
Speaking of this, Lian Zhen stopped sacrificially, because Si You's face had changed, becoming a little blue, and the corners of his eyes were twitching, "Mingchuan! Idiot. At this point, he stubbornly suppressed his anger and tried to calm his emotions and asked, "What is the result?" Is there a result? β
"The result is not yet, the people who went are Ling Yun, Ling Zhuo, and the two brothers...... I think even if it doesn't work, there should be no problem with getting out of the way! The priest thought about it and said with some hesitation.
"Is the Cangyu retreat over?" The priest seemed to be a little distracted, and just asked to himself.
"It just ended yesterday, and since the last time the Night Emperor broke his [Archery Technique], he has been in retreat, and he just came out of the customs yesterday." Priest Lian Zhen said slowly, and seemed to have guessed Si You's thoughts in his heart.
"In that case, you go to Cang Yu and ask him to take someone down the mountain to find out...... By the way, have you checked clearly, when did the two brothers of the Ling family go down the mountain? Si You asked.
"According to the disciple on duty yesterday, it seems that in the evening, he went down the mountain with the warrant of Mingchuan." Priest Lian Zhen recalled for a while, and then said with certainty.
"Yesterday evening? Then according to Mingchuan's previous habits, the time he chose should be around midnight, you go and find Cangyu now! His eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart was already rapidly calculating all possibilities, but the priest had already left.
If the plan of the priest of Mingchuan succeeds, then Shushan will never have peace, and it is really an extremely terrible thing to assassinate an imperial princess, and she is also the most favored princess of Yingzheng.
If Yingzheng gathers heavy troops to avenge Princess Yuyang, then Shushan will turn into a scorched earth in an instant, and there is absolutely no doubt about this matter.
Back then, in the face of the attack of the Qin army, Shushan could only choose to assassinate middle and low-level generals to disintegrate the combat system of the Qin army.
Now, the only hope is that Princess Yuyang is not dead, but she is injured, and the main general is injured and forces the Qin army to retreat, this is the best result, only with this result, Shushan can get a chance to breathe.
"Ming Chuan...... Mingchuan ...... Have your brains been eaten by dogs! Damn it! Thinking about it, Si You couldn't help but scold, his face was a little pale with nervousness, and he didn't notice that the priest of Lian Zhen behind him was going and returning.
There was also a person beside him, it was Xie Cangyu, the [Arrow King] of Shushan that Yan Hong met that day.
"Cang Yu see Lord Priest!" Facing the back of the priest Si You, Xie Cangyu saluted respectfully.
"Huh?!" It wasn't until this moment that Si You was awakened by the sound of talking, took a long breath, and turned around, "Cang Yu, how did you get the results of your retreat?" β
"Returning to the priest and the priest, and the subordinates retreat to get something."
Looking at the young man in front of him who was getting sharper and sharper, Si You's heart flashed with a rare hint of relief.
"Cang Yu, take your headquarters to the Qin army camp, pick up Ling Yun and Ling Zhuo brothers, and find out what the Qin army camp is, remember, I want to know everything clearly!"
The last few words, there was actually a chilly air, Xie Cangyu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, and then his face became extremely solemn, "Subordinates obey orders!" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The sun has gradually risen to the middle of the sky, but today is surprisingly quiet, walking between the rugged mountain roads, Xie Cangyu can't help but feel a little strange, this is already extremely close to the position of the Qin army's camp.
If it were in the past, with such a sunny weather, you should have been able to hear the shouts of the Qin army's training soldiers, but why is it so quiet today.
After walking for another two miles, Xie Cangyu finally ordered the team to stop, "First squad, go to the front to see what happened to the people of the Qin Kingdom." β
"Yes, sir." Ten people were instantly separated from the team, and their body changed sharply, so as to quickly copy the Qin army camp and leave.
After about a cup of tea, three of the first team returned, all unscathed, and the first person reported that "Lord Cangyu, the subordinates have found Ling Yun and Ling Zhuo, but the Qin army camp is a little strange!" β
"Strange? How strange is it? Xie Cangyu asked suspiciously.
"The camp of the Qin army is full of alum, and the soldiers are wearing white headbands."
"Shhhh Something is wrong. As soon as these four words came out, Xie Cangyu's figure shot out like an arrow from the string, remembering the instructions of the priest just now, Xie Cangyu's palms broke out in a cold sweat.
White silk, white sails, white turbans, all prove that there are people killed in the Qin army, and at this moment, what can make all the Qin troops collectively wear white silk is that Princess Yuyang is alone!
In the rapid gallop, Xie Cangyu's cold sweat had soaked him tightly, and his brows were tightened more and more, and he could already see the anger of King Yingzheng of Qin in his mind, which was a father's anger, and it was also the anger of a king who overrode all living beings and ruled the emperor of the world, such a result was really unbearable for Shushan today.
Even if the elders of Shushan make a move together, as long as Yingzheng can invite the person from the Yin and Yang family, the destruction of Shushan will only be a matter of moments!
It's not that the Eastern Emperor can overthrow Shushan in an instant, but with the Eastern Emperor's extremely strong strength, he will definitely be able to contain the Shushan elders, in that case, the rest of the masters of the Qin State can completely smash the foundation of Shushan in a very short time.
"Priest Mingchuan, can't you even think of this?!" This sentence was Xie Cangyu's roar in his heart.
At this moment, his vision was even a little blurry, and his hands had begun to tremble, because standing on this abrupt rock wall, Xie Cangyu's eyes could clearly see the flying white silk in the Qin army camp, and a depressing atmosphere permeated the entire Qin army camp, which was not decadent, let alone collapsed.
It's hatred, it's the flame of revenge that is being compressed to the extreme, but when this flame is suppressed to the extreme, and when it breaks out, Shushan will turn into a dead silence, and the consequences are terrible!
