Chapter 423: Turning the Tide
Lan Ziyi was originally reluctant to fall asleep, the distorted feeling of half-dreaming and half-waking in his previous sleep was very torturous, and he didn't want to fall into that refreshing nightmare again. Lan Ziyi wanted to chat with his two brothers until dawn, and he did so, but his eyelids became heavy as he chatted, and he didn't know when Lan Ziyi entered his dream again. Lan Ziyi only remembered that the last thing he discussed with everyone before he fell asleep was the issue of setting up the decisive battle tomorrow, and Lan Ziyi couldn't remember what happened after that.
This time his sleep was very deep, so deep that Lan Ziyi didn't even dream, he slept very comfortably. It is precisely because he sleeps comfortably that Lan Ziyi prefers not to wake up and sleep well.
If this wish is naturally easy to achieve in normal times, no one will come to disturb Lan Ziyi's dream, but now it is different, now it is really in the barracks, and after sleeping this night, it will be a desperate battle between the official army and the demon thief. Once this thought came to mind, it would turn into a red-hot soldering iron and plunge into Lan Ziyi's heart. Lan Ziyi was burned by this soldering iron and trembled, and the sleepiness wrapped in his heart like a misty veil was burned to ashes in an instant, and his waking consciousness pulled Lan Ziyi back to reality like a wild horse.
This kind of sober process is definitely one of the feelings that Lan Ziyi is most unwilling to experience, such a sober person is only partially sober, and he can't think about the problem clearly in a short time.
Lan Ziyi opened his eyes dizzily, he took a few deep breaths and wanted to put his heart back in place, but at this time, the sound of the drum in Lan Ziyi's ears made it difficult for him to calm down.
Lan Ziyi got up from the bed, he held his breath and listened, this is the drumming of the official army, it is the drumming of the march, the sound is far away from the military tent here, and it is no longer advancing. And in addition to the drums of the officials and soldiers, there are many noisy shouts and blowing sounds, this noise Lan Ziyi is really familiar, it is the shouts of demon thieves.
Lan Ziyi, who had just woken up from his sleep, heard the sound of drums and his blood surged, and his body that had not yet woken up formed a stark contrast with his soaring heart.
Lan Ziyi was anxious to know what was happening now, and he shouted loudly:
"Someone! Come on! β
But when he roared, he found that Tao Zhulu was already waiting by the bedside.
Lan Ziyi looked at Tao Zhulu and asked:
"Second brother, could it be that the official army has already gone to war?"
Tao Zhulu looked at Lan Ziyi and nodded a little embarrassed. In fact, Lan Ziyi knew that the official army had already set off, how could he hear the sound of the drums if he hadn't set off, Lan Ziyi just didn't want to admit such a reality.
Tao Zhulu nodded and asked Lan Ziyi:
"Didn't the young master notice that there was no sound in the camp anymore?"
Lan Ziyi only reacted when he heard this, it was true, if it was noisy in the camp, how could he hear the drums in the distance.
Lan Ziyi leaned on the bed with his hands on his hands, he looked around the tent, and then asked:
"Second brother, what about the eldest brother? What about the two gentlemen of the enemy family? β
Tao Zhulu shook his head and sighed:
"When I set out for the expedition half an hour ago, Father-in-law Yu sent someone to take the eldest brother and the two gentlemen of the Qiu family away."
Lan Ziyi said:
"Half an hour? Half an hour has passed? So when is it? β
Tao Zhulu replied:
"Back to the young master, it's already hour."
Lan Ziyi sighed when he heard this, and he said:
"If my father-in-law sends someone to give an order, the movement must be not small, why haven't I been woken up?"
Peach replied in embarrassment:
"My father-in-law was worried about the young master's condition, so he specially instructed him not to wake up the young masterβ’β’β’β’β’β’"
Lan Ziyi interrupted Tao Zhulu and asked:
"Then why didn't the second brother wake me up for such a big thing?"
ζ‘ζ΅ιΉΏ says:
"Young master, as I said just now, my father-in-law understands the young master's condition, and specially instructed me not to wake up the young master."
Lan Ziyi sighed bitterly when he heard this, he turned over and jumped out of bed, stood up and wanted to find his clothes, and at the same time Lan Ziyi said:
"Second brother, second brother, if the third brother is confused in this matter, I will admit it, but why are you also confused? Where does Father-in-law Yu care about my condition, it is obvious that King De doesn't want me to disturb him anymore, so he doesn't let you tell me, second brother, why are you so confused. β
Although Lan Ziyi jumped up, as soon as he landed on the ground, there was a heart-piercing pain in the center of his right foot, if it wasn't for Tao Zhulu helping Lan Ziyi up from the side, he would definitely fall to the ground.
Lan Ziyi forgot that he had an injury in the heart of his foot and couldn't stand at all.
Tao Zhulu helped Lan Ziyi sit back on the bed, and he said to Lan Ziyi:
"Since the young master understands that King De intends to interfere, then the young master naturally knows that even if I call you at that time, you will be stopped in the camp by King De with other excuses."
Lan Ziyi was silent when he heard this, and sighed and didn't know what to say. After thinking about it for a long time, Lan Ziyi said to Tao Zhulu:
"Second brother, hurry up and get my armor on."
Tao Zhulu nodded when he heard this, and quickly brought clothes and armor for Lan Ziyi, but after a while, the two of them were dressed neatly, and then Tao Zhulu helped Lan Ziyi to walk out of the tent.
Lan Ziyi, who was being supported, looked at the pair of two-gear armor hanging on his body and asked Tao Zhulu and said:
"Second brother, where is my shining silver light armor?"
Tao Zhulu replied:
"Didn't you forget, young master, that the camp was burned, and your armor was in the tent at that time. Now that the army is in chaos, no one is looking for it, but I guess even if someone is sent to find it, that armor will not be used. β
Hearing this, Lan Ziyi looked at Tao Zhulu, and what he was wearing was not the usual set of armor. Seeing this scene, Lan Ziyi had to sigh.
As soon as Lan Ziyi came out of the tent, he couldn't open his eyes because of the dazzling sunlight, and he raised his arms to block his eyes for a long time before he could get used to it.
Tao Zhulu helped Lan Ziyi and said:
"Young master, if you are shaking your eyes, why don't I help you go into the tent first?"
Lan Ziyi shook his head and threw out the remaining stars that were beating back and forth in his eyes, and at the same time, he also used this action to tell Tao Zhulu that he must go.
Lan Ziyi stepped on the stirrup and stepped on the war horse with the help of Tao Zhulu, and then whipped the horse's butt and accelerated to the outside of the camp.
The old, weak, and sick people left behind in the camp saw Lan Ziyi rushing out with a whip and hurriedly jumped to the side of the road, for fear that they would be seriously injured if they blocked the way forward for the two horses. Lan Ziyi drove his horse galloping through the camp, looking at the sparse people in the camp and asked the peach deer behind him:
"Second brother, why are there only these few people left in the camp? Or are they all old, weak, sick and disabled? Where are the rest of the Beijing troops we brought back last night? β
Tao Zhulu replied:
"The Jing army was taken out by King De early this morning."
Lan Ziyi was shocked when he heard this, and he said:
"Could it be that King De is going to fight in Beijing today?"
Tao Zhulu replied:
"Young master, it is said that King De is going to replicate the victory of the Taiwei a few days ago today, and the Jingying will be entrusted with an important task today."
When Lan Ziyi heard this, he punched the saddle, and he said hatefully:
"This stupid pig, is he blind and can't see the courage of Jingying, and he can't fight again today? Isn't it a joke to pull people out and entrust them with heavy responsibilities now? β
Although Lan Ziyi didn't say who the stupid pig was, Tao Zhulu understood that Lan Ziyi was scolding King De. Tao Zhulu saw that the feud between the two was deep, and secretly sweated, if this continues, how can Lan Ziyi stay in King De's mansion in the future?
Lan Ziyi also sighed after scolding, and stopped talking for a long time, or maybe he noticed his gaffe. After a while, Lan Ziyi asked:
"Then second brother, do you know how King De is going to replicate the exploits of the Taiwei that day?"
Tao Zhulu shook his head at Lan Ziyi, and he said:
"I don't know."
Lan Ziyi asked:
"Where are the eldest brother and Mr. Qiu arranged?"
Peach Road:
"The eldest brother was called by Father-in-law Yu to command Tiefutu, and the two gentlemen of the Qiu family were waiting for dispatch by Father-in-law's side."
Lan Ziyi nodded when he heard this, judging from this arrangement, at least Gonggong Yu was not as crazy as King De.
Then Lan Ziyi asked:
"Where are the two armies fighting?"
Tao Zhulu replied:
"It's in the southeast, young master, please come with me!"
After that, the peach took the lead and took the lead in the front.
