Chapter 111: Assassination
As night fell, bonfires were lit everywhere, and the cold wind did not discourage the soldiers at all, and the enemy soldiers were not happy to drink and have fun, but they did not know that a crisis could come at any time.
In the military camp of the Wei State, Lu Zhixing under a silver robe was even more sassy, seeing that his long sword was raised, he said to the soldiers who were ready to go outside the tent: "Soldiers, now the iron cavalry of the Qi State has stepped into our land, and along the way, we have also seen how many homeless people, the lives of the people are miserable, and the people are not happy. The war is indeed cruel, we can't let it continue, I don't go to hell, who goes to hell, we Wei Nan'er is like this long sword in my hand at this moment, defending the land and protecting the family. Would you like to go with me to drive out the enemy and raise the prestige of our country?"
The soldiers all had tears in their eyes, looking at the faces of His Majesty, who was still a little immature, after the previous battle, the soldiers were already convinced by this Majesty, and they shouted "Swear to defend the Wei State to the death and be loyal to Your Majesty!"
In our barracks, at this time, a small soldier came in and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, there is a secret report from the front, and the enemy camp has completely relaxed its vigilance at this moment, and it can wait for the opportunity to move." Lu Zhixing raised the token on the table and decisively ordered, "General Situ listens to the order, tonight I order you to personally order 200 elite infantry to kill the enemy camp tonight, and kill them by surprise." "The Minister's Order," General Situ said
"General Zuo Yang Yuan listened to the order, and I ordered you to wait with the left side of the valley for the opportunity, and wait for the drum to sound and take the opportunity to take away their grain and grass."
"Decree of the Minister". Yang Yuan replied.
"Hussar General Zhang Yuan, I order you to lead a detachment on the right side of the valley to bypass the rear of the enemy army, and as soon as the drums in front sound, the three armies will immediately turn around and kill them by surprise."
"Weichen Command," the generals said in unison. However, if someone had noticed the creep's last look, maybe the rest of the story wouldn't have happened, of course, that's all for later.
The night soon darkened, and according to the plan, as long as they crossed the valley ahead, they could go straight to the enemy camp, and after marching for several hours in the cold night, the group was fully equipped and crossed the valley.
"Prepare for the march!" General Situ gave the signal to advance.
When the team reached the middle of the valley, a bird slid by, and everyone's hearts were stirred, but fortunately it was fine, and then everyone's hearts were lifted again. Gusts of wind suddenly sounded on both sides of the valley, followed by a muffled snort, and General Situ was shot in the shoulder.
"Not good, there is an ambush", someone in the team shouted.
"Protect the emperor" and "quickly dodge" Lu and his party quickly issued an order. Even though the order was not too late, and then the swords that glistened with cold light were still stained red by the blood of the warriors, it was destined to be an unquiet night.
"Protect General Situ and quickly find a place to prepare for retreat," Lu Yixing said, turning around and knocking his sword away.
"No, Your Majesty, I heard from the ministers that no one else knows about our secret march this time, and this time we encountered an ambush, it must be a thief." As General Situ spoke, the blood on his shoulder couldn't stop flowing.
He took a breath and continued, "It is the honor of the old minister to be able to fight side by side with His Majesty this time, and the minister only hopes that His Majesty can return safely to find out the traitors, drive out the enemy country, and collect our land. Please Your Majesty retreat first, and the old minister will deal with the aftermath", General Situ half-knelt on the ground, and his eyes revealed a firm gaze.
There were screams in his ears, and even though he was reluctant, Lu Yixing bowed to the old general and said, "Retreat!" I will find out the culprit and get out of the encirclement as soon as possible, and the old general will take care. Several soldiers protected Lu and his entourage as they retreated. As soon as he got up, he was shot by an arrow that flew there.
Only one person remained, and the wounded Lu Zhixing broke out of the encirclement. Who would have thought that a battle that was supposed to be a sure chance of victory would not be successful, it is really embarrassing.
And at this moment in the barracks, there was a person who looked at the chessboard and raised the corners of his mouth, and under the light of the candle, he said slowly, "This time, they can't escape no matter what," a faint big net is slowly opening like Lu Yixing and others.
In the valley, Lu Yixing and the only remaining soldier finally broke out of the encirclement, but when they were about to go out of the valley, they encountered enemy soldiers, and one of the soldiers shouted: "The lord has a will, kill a Wei soldier and reward ten taels of gold, and two centurions will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold. The soldiers of Qi State showed a fierce light on their faces and rushed towards this wave of unfortunate squads, and Lu Zhixing was silent.
The two sides were fighting fiercely, and Lu Zhixing clenched the sword in his hand and prepared to fight hard for the last time. At this time, the sound of weapons and horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the distance, and it turned out that the hussar general had come to the rescue. "Wechen is late for rescue, and I ask Your Majesty to atone for your sins."
"It's okay, go to the rescue, General Situ!" Before the words fell, Lu Zhixing fainted.
"Pass my order, a group of people go to the valley to support General Situ, and a group of people follow me to protect Your Majesty and retreat!" The hussar general ordered with a frown. The group quickly retreated to the camp, "Quickly go to the military doctor, Your Majesty is injured!, remember that this matter must not be silenced," the hussar general ordered.
In the army, in the military medical department, a small soldier is eavesdropping on others' words, "I heard that Your Majesty was injured this time!"
"Where did you say it, Your Majesty is so heroic, where will you be hurt!" The two cooking attendants asked and answered.
One of them, with a hint of unhappiness after being hit, raised his head and said, "Can this be fake?" My uncle is a disciple of the hussar general, it is said that since the emperor came back last night, the military doctors have been waiting in the tent, and the brows have not been loosened for a day.
As he spoke, another soldier hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Oh, my little ancestor, we can't talk nonsense, be careful that the wall has ears." After saying that, he hurriedly left.
Jiang Wan, who was hiding on the side, listened to this and thought to himself: Lu Yixing is seriously ill? What's going on? Could it be that someone in the barracks wanted to kill him? Fortunately, he informed Jiang Huairen to come to the barracks first, so he should observe it secretly.
The hussar general looked at Jiang Wan and shouted, "Hey, who is that, you come here"
Jiang Wan reluctantly walked up to him and saw that it was an acquaintance, he was the general of the reinforcements, Jiang Wan was afraid that he would be suspicious of why he was not there, so he listened to him: "Where have you been these days?" You can't think that just because the emperor is special to you, you think you can be a concubine. Look at your thin skin and tender meat, the emperor is just playing, you can do it yourself. ”
Jiang Wan lowered his head and said: "The grass people know their identity, whether they join the army or serve the emperor, they are all for the country. ”
The hussar general glanced at him and said: "Longyang's goodness has no future, you let the emperor reward you with more things now, so that you can go home and marry a daughter-in-law, I don't know whether to say that you are lucky or unlucky." ”
Jiang Wan bit his lip and nodded, and the hussar general sighed: "Don't worry, it's just right, you will go and send this bowl of freshly boiled decoction to the tent to serve the emperor to drink, remember, this is the medicine that the emperor wants to drink, if there is a little mistake, ten heads will not be enough to compensate." ”
"The grass people will definitely send this medicine, thank you for the general's love." Jiang Wan was secretly happy as he spoke, and he was worried that he didn't have a chance to deliver medicine, but this was a good opportunity.
Jiang Wan looked at the medicine in the bowl, it seemed that the color was a little wrong, he took the silver needle and tried it, it was okay not to try, and Jiang Wan was secretly frightened when he tried it, the silver needle immediately turned black as soon as he entered, and it was so toxic that it was unbelievable.
"What kind of person is it that he actually stretched out his hand to the emperor." Thinking that he still didn't know Lu Zhixing's current situation, Jiang Wan briefly prescribed a pair of body-tonifying medicine with his previous knowledge and sent it over first.
The seemingly calm barracks are full of crises. This is also the first time Jiang Wan has saved Lu Yixing, and Lu Yixing has not realized at the moment that this woman will save him more times in the future, of course, this is all a later story.
No one noticed that a pigeon flew out of the barracks, and in the camp of Qi State, "I didn't expect to be escaped by Lu Yixing again," a man in a fancy costume was full of anger, and the carrier pigeon flew to open the note and wrote, "Lu Yixing is seriously ill, people are panicking, tonight, the guards are changing, the security is lax, you can take the opportunity to strike" The man looked at it and said fiercely, "Lu Yixing, you must not be able to escape this time." He burst out laughing.
The medicine was quickly decocted, Jiang Wan walked to the tent with the medicine, she was thinking about how to approach Lu Yixing and judge the condition, Mei Qiandu, who was next to Lu Yixing, saw the token on her body, and knew in her heart that this must be that Niangniang.
I saw him say calmly: "You guys go down to eat first, I'll just watch here." The rest of the generals were puzzled, but their rank was not high, so they had to retire first.
Mei Qiandu hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "See Niangniang, I don't know why Niangniang came here in this dress." ”
Jiang Wan hurriedly asked him to get up, "The general doesn't have to make this big salute, I went out of the palace with the emperor, but it was too late for the emperor to send me to deal with the trapped grain and grass troops halfway." ”
Mei Qiandu groaned and said, "The grain and grass troops? ”
"It's been arranged, I'll be there tomorrow at the latest. I also prepared a good gift for the general. Jiang Wan blinked and said, "This gift will be known when Jiang joins the army." She looked at Lu Zhixing on the hospital bed and asked, "How could the emperor be injured?" Could it be that there is a spy in the camp? ”
Mei Qiandu was stunned and said: "Niangniang is really ice and snow smart. ”
Jiang Wan waved his hand and said, "Has the spy found out?" ”
"This, the subordinates are derelict in their duties."
Jiang Wan nodded to indicate that he knew, and asked, "How is the emperor's condition?" ”
Mei Qiandu frowned and said, "The amount of bleeding is too great, so I can only see if I can survive tonight." ”
Jiang Wan sighed, reached out and touched Lu Zhixing's face, pressed his forehead and said, "Look, I told you, you are allowed to have an accident without me." She glanced at Mei Qiandu and said, "I have an idea, do you want to hear it?" ”
Mei Qiandu knew that she had arrived early, and she didn't dare to underestimate her, but after listening to her advice, she was shocked and said: "Niangniang, this is too dangerous, if the emperor wakes up, he will definitely not let you do this." ”
Jiang Wan still looked at Lu Zhixing, and just asked, "Do you think there is any better way besides this method?" ”
Mei Qiandu was silent and said, "That's it." It's troublesome for the mother to put herself in danger. ”
The maid appeared from the darkness, and Jiang Wan said: "You heard it, I need you to dress up as the emperor, it's not difficult for you, right?" ”
"Yes!"
