Chapter 238: The border is in an emergency
Two days later, Du Ruosheng and Xiao Xiao's people were ready to set off.
Before leaving, Lan Nian looked at her and handed her a white medicine bottle.
"This is the Aster Heart Protector Pill, which can save lives at a critical moment, you must put it away, this is the only one." Chen Yi told her everything, and Lan Nian did have some appreciation for the woman in front of her.
And the moon smoke on the side is also very admirable.
"Thank you, Lan Nian, senior, I will return safely." Du Ruosheng smiled lightly.
"Hmm." Lan Nian said.
When Du Ruosheng had already turned to leave, Xu Ling suddenly hugged her from behind, and her voice was full of worry: "Senior sister, you must be careful." ”
Du Ruosheng turned around, squatted down, stroked his head, and comforted him gently: "Xu Ling, listen carefully to Lan Nian's seniors and Sister Yueyan in the door, do you know, when the senior sister comes back, I will take you to the long street in Wanchao City?" ”
Xu Ling frowned, nodded, and then, stretched out a little finger and said, "Let's pull the hook." ”
Du Ruosheng stretched out a hand and hooked his hand, and said, "Pull the hook, never break your word." ”
After saying goodbye, Du Ruosheng knew that it was time to go, and under the worried eyes of everyone, she left with thousands of disciples of Qingxiao.
And in the city of Wanchao, Xiaoyi also set off with nearly 100,000 elite soldiers.
This time, Yan Qinghan stood on the high platform and looked at their mighty team, his face was indeed full of worry, he was worried about Du Ruosheng, and he didn't know if Xiaoyi could really protect her safety.
He swore in his heart that when he returned, he would never let Du Ruosheng leave him half a step away, even if he tied her, he would tie her tightly to his side.
I don't know when he can't leave her for a moment, and in the days when she is away, there is sorrow in his heart, and there is nothing else.
Maybe it's because he lost what he has learned to cherish, and now he feels the same way.
Du Ruosheng and Xiaoyi set off in two ways, so they couldn't meet each other.
At this moment, they are like a group of savage and ferocious wolves, devouring everything weak, showing their joy of victory and carnival, and Yan Qinghan's inaction has made them even more reckless and rampant, at this time, they are still celebrating, but as everyone knows, the lion is also approaching step by step, ready to eat them all.
Du Ruosheng was dressed in an emerald Luo robe, covered with a white veil, holding flowing water, and the silver-white sword body reflected the clothes, cold and elegant, like a fairy.
Behind her were thousands of Qingxiao disciples, all of whom were dressed in white and fluttering, like mortal immortals.
It's just that no one knows that they went there to kill the enemy in battle, and the rivers and mountains were stained with blood.
"Senior sister, we've been on a long journey, do you want to let the disciples take a break." A disciple named Liu Fang, who was following Du Ruosheng's side, proposed.
From the time they set off, it has been three or four hours until now, and everyone hasn't even drunk a sip of water, Du Ruosheng thought for a while and said, "Through the woods in front, there is a river and lake, let's rest there." ”
"Yes, Senior Sister."
Du Ruosheng has walked this road several times, and she knows the terrain and environment well, but even so, she doesn't dare to stay longer, they must dare to reach Dongchuan when Xiaoyi and the Manshi clan are in a head-to-head confrontation, and go straight to the border of the Wan Dynasty from Dongchuan.
After passing through the woods, Du Ruosheng stopped his horse, and everyone also stopped to rest and adjust here.
Du Ruosheng got off the horse and took a water bladder to the river to fetch water.
While fetching water, a disciple named Liu Fang walked to Du Ruosheng's side, "Senior sister, how long does it take to get from here to Dongchuan?" ”
Du Ruosheng roughly calculated in his heart and said, "It's about seven days, but now we don't have time, we have to arrive within four days." ”
The distance between them and Xiaoyi is different, if Xiaoyi's road is smooth, it will take about two days, and it is already the limit for them to arrive in four days, but even if the limit is still slow, they can only be faster, and they can't be slower.
"Four days, this. . . It's unlikely! Liu Fang was a little surprised, the distance from the Wan Dynasty to Dongchuan was hundreds of miles, if they reached Dongchuan in this situation, I was afraid that most of their physical strength would be wasted, and where would they have the energy to prepare for war.
"Have you ever heard of doing something you know you can't do? Believe in yourself, the limits of people are far more powerful than you think. Du Ruosheng patted him on the shoulder, said leisurely, and then walked towards the horse.
Liu Fang looked at Du Ruosheng's slender back, he really couldn't believe that your woman could be so tough, no wonder the master would accept her as a beginner disciple, it is indeed not to be underestimated.
"Okay, we're pressed for time, we can't stop anymore, there's still a long way to go."
Du Ruosheng turned over and jumped on the horse, and said to the disciples who were still resting.
Everyone then got on their horses, and the group continued to set off in the direction of Dongchuan.
And Xiaoyi with nearly 100,000 elite soldiers, the speed is naturally not fast, just this mighty army of soldiers and horses, everywhere he goes, there is dust, a sound.
With Xiaoyi, there are not only Jun Rong but also Su Que, the deputy general in Qi Guang's camp, in the eyes of others, there are such two right-hand men to help, Xiao Yi will definitely be able to win this way, but everyone knows that they have their own thoughts in their hearts, Jun Rong naturally does not need to mention, Xiao Yi knows that he must still be murderous to himself at this moment, as for Su Que, he not only led Qi Guang's soldiers, but now he has replaced Qi Guang's duties, and he can have a little surrender to himself in his heart.
"General, what are your chances of winning this time?" Jun Rong, who was following Xiaoyi, asked. Baixiao
Although he didn't know about the vicious battle between the Manshi clan and the Dongchuan Wan Dynasty before, but a small clan dared to compete with a big country like the Wan Dynasty, there must be a reason behind it, he saw that Xiaoyi had always been bound to win, full of confidence, but he was a little curious about what he was sure of winning.
"If not ninety, there are seventy or eighty, Manshina, how can we know what tricks they are playing if we don't go and find out."
Xiaoyi said lightly.
Su Que was silent on the side, he really didn't know what to say, he just knew that he just had to fight well with Xiaoyi, and he couldn't embarrass his general.
Wan Chao Border Pass.
The wind is in columns, the yellow sand is all over the sky, and a fight has just ended.
Several black crows hovered over several corpses that had not yet been completely buried in the sand, and the bodies of the dead were covered with wounds.
The smell of bloody death permeated the air.
In the border barracks.
A soldier shouted in his mouth and entered the military tent: "Report! General, news came from the imperial court that the general of the Fu army, Xiaoyi, had been sent to support with 100,000 elite soldiers. ”
Sitting in the military tent is the perennial town guard border pass general - Mo Xiao, about thirty-five or sixteen years old, when the first emperor was in power, he was following his father to guard the border pass, and later his father died, he naturally became the general of Zhenbei.
This person is upright, eight feet tall, his eyes are like copper bells, his appearance is quite handsome, hearing the return of his subordinates, Mo Xiao took a sip of water, and then said in a hoarse voice: "When did they set off?" ”
"About a day ago." The soldiers returned.
"A day ago—" Mo Xiao's deep voice repeated, as if thinking about something.
One day, they had to hold out for two more days, and now the soldiers in the barracks have suffered countless casualties, and these two days are full of challenges and tragies for them.
"How much grain and grass are there in the camp, and how many people are there?" Mo Xiao said again.
"There are not many left, and there are less than 10,000 or so people who can continue to fight." The soldier hesitated a little, such a situation even a young general knew that it would not last long, let alone a general who had already experienced a hundred battles.
When Mo Xiao heard the soldier's answer, his face did not change, and he still sat there as calm as water, "Before the reinforcements arrive, we must not let the border pass be lost!" Locked up in the people, locked up in the dead! ”
Mo Xiao held the heart of death and ordered.
"Yes, General!" The soldier replied calmly.
Once the border is lost, everyone in their town knows what it means, and it is better to fight to the death than to do so.
Two days is not long, not short, but for the soldiers at the border pass and the general of Zhenbei Mo Xiao, it is indeed like a year.
Xiaoyi didn't stop much, and he rushed all the way, but he also knew that Du Ruosheng and his disciples with Xiao Xiao must be more eager than him at this moment, so he couldn't be fast or slow.
Looking back at the palace of the Wan Dynasty, Yan Qinghan sat in the Chongzheng Palace, although he was reviewing the folds in his hand, he was already in Cao Ying, his heart was in Han, he was worried about Du Ruosheng all the time, I don't know if she is okay, whether this will go smoothly.
Just as he was thinking, a little eunuch suddenly broke in in a panic, and before Yan Qinghan could scold him angrily, he immediately opened his mouth and said, "Emperor.. Your Majesty, the concubine... Something happened to the concubine! ”
Yan Qinghan put down the fold in his hand, did not move, and raised his eyes to look at the eunuch, this eunuch was a face, and he had never seen it before.
"What's wrong?" Yan Qinghan's thin lips rose slightly, and he said lightly.
"Mother.. Had lunch.. I don't know why I suddenly had abdominal pain, but the guards didn't let me go to the Imperial Doctor, you... Go check it out. "The guards didn't let Imperial Doctor Xuan, so how did he come out, Yan Qinghan recognized the tricks of this little eunuch at a glance, but I'm afraid only his mother can do this.
In the end, Yan Qinghan still got up and walked off the high platform unhurriedly, the little eunuch saw this, as if he saw hope, and rushed forward, saying: "Your Majesty, go with the slaves." ”
Yan Qinghan directly crossed him and walked out of the main hall, while the little eunuch followed closely behind him, and the two of them headed in the direction of Xiukang Palace.
When he came to Xiukang Palace, the guards guarding the door saw Yan Qinghan, bowed down and saluted: "See the emperor." ”
"I heard that the concubine Niangniang has more than enough abdominal pain, so you don't let the Imperial Doctor Xuan enter the palace?" Yan Qinghan's voice was cold, and the two guards immediately knelt on the ground, and said with a blank face: "The subordinates don't know about this!" ”
Hearing what the two said, the little eunuch on the side also panicked, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't waste time with them, let's go see Niangniang quickly." ”
Yan Qinghan glared at the little eunuch, and stepped into the Xiukang Palace with a cold snort.
Before he entered the dormitory, Yan Qinghan heard Fang Lanzhi's cry of pain, the sound was comparable to the poignancy of childbirth, I didn't know if I thought that the concubine Fang Lanzhi was born prematurely.
Yan Qinghan didn't stop, and still entered the dormitory, and Fang Lanzhi, who was in pain on the bed at this time, didn't know that Yan Qinghan was coming, and she didn't know that all this was also designed by Lu Lan.
Yan Qinghan went straight to the inner hall, Wan'er heard the noise outside, and hurriedly rushed out, and was bumping into Yan Qinghan who came forward, with a frightened face: "Emperor... Emperor! How did you get here? ”
Her voice was enough for Fang Lanzhi in the inner hall to hear it, and when Fang Lanzhi heard Yan Qinghan coming, her screams stopped abruptly in an instant.
