Chapter 39: Whose Game of Chess

Before Ye Huaiyu and his people could touch the gate of Anqu County, they were first ambushed from behind.

Excited shouts echoed around the mountains and forests, and whistling with the clattering hooves of horses came all the way into his ears, although they were far away, but they gave him a dismount in terms of momentum.

The 1,000 elite soldiers sent to him by the emperor didn't know where the essence was, and he didn't even seize the opportunity to show off his skills, so he asked someone to overturn most of them directly...... Scared.

The combat effectiveness of the young master soldiers may not be as good as the rabble in Anqu County, which is about the same as the old eunuchs who live in the deep palace all the year round.

Ye Huaiyu was fashionable and calm, and hurriedly swept around, understanding that he was making dumplings.

In addition to the emperor and his father, the insiders of this purge were him and Cheng Jingxi, and in order to facilitate their actions, they also deliberately disguised the team as a caravan.

It is impossible for my father to leak information, and the rest ......

However, the other party did not give him time to think about it, and when a thousand elite soldiers were like headless flies and were about to put down the butcher knife in a daze, the other party did not arrive before the arrow arrived, and it took away another wave of combat power as if it was raining heavily.

Ye Huaiyu swung his knife and broke the arrow, dexterously avoiding the oncoming arrow rain, and while observing the terrain, he also roughly confirmed the other party's level in his heart.

It's not accurate, and the strength is not so strong, it all depends on the amount and the enemy is dark.

But even so, it is enough to deal with this group of old, weak, sick and disabled, because they can't stand it and send their heads to the other camp, and the degree of positivity is really breathtaking.

If he continues like this, he will have to become a plucked rooster in the end, Ye Huaiyu quickly judged the weakness of the other party's deployment, turned the horse's head and waved the big knife, "If you can still run, take the knife and gun and follow me!" ”

After saying that, he took the lead in whipping away, and everyone behind him seemed to have immediately found the backbone of the heart, and those who could get on the horse could only run in a hurry and run in a hurry, but they also unexpectedly followed.

It seems that when people are on the verge of life and death, their will to survive is still very strong.

Ye Huaiyu rushed over with people with a fierce momentum, raising a cloud of dust and sand along the way, in fact, it seemed quite like that, but the other party seemed to have long expected what kind of person he was carrying, and he had no scruples at all, and the bow and arrow were thrown at them one after another as if they didn't want silver, and a group of people were in chaos again.

"Find your own place to hide!"

Ye Huaiyu looked at them a little helpless, and even began to be superstitious in the interval between dodging, hating that he didn't insist on going to the temple with his mother to burn incense and worship the Buddha in the past few days, but at this moment, if he could suddenly realize that he had thousands of eight hundred hands, he would definitely not be so staggered.

Wield a knife to block the arrows coming from the wind, but Ye Huaiyu didn't have time to see what that person looked like, and the person who escaped was pierced through the heart by a bow and arrow shot from another direction, if that person could dodge in time, then the person who was hit by the arrow must not have time to dodge him!

Ye Huaiyu watched in horror as the blind person fell in front of his eyes, and he didn't know for a moment whether to say that the person was unlucky or his own life.

However, the situation at the scene was urgent, and in just such a moment, a few more arrows came quickly in it, and the abruptness of the strength and accuracy of the head made Ye Huaiyu immediately make a judgment, these few were obviously coming at him, and the gold content was quite high.

Bending down to avoid two of them, but the bow and arrow that followed behind couldn't cope with it no matter what, Ye Huaiyu immediately turned over and dismounted and rolled away on the spot, and when he finally hid in a shelter, there was a sudden neighing of horses in his ears.

The horse he had ridden earlier had now been pierced into a hedgehog.

It was a war horse, a gift from my father.

As if to leave the last dignity for himself, the war horse wanted to raise his front legs high again before he died, but in the end he was still unable to do it, and as soon as he left the ground, he knelt down with exhaustion, slowly fell to the side, and let out a mournful cry.

Ye Huaiyu's eyes turned red in an instant.

But now is not the time to grieve.

The terrain here can still be retreated, the opponent's arrow could not be implemented, the two sides briefly fell into a state of confrontation, and Ye Huaiyu finally had a moment of respite.

"Count the number of people!"

"Three Shao," I don't know who said in a trembling voice, as if he was also ashamed to speak, "a thousand...... There are only more than 200 elite soldiers left. ”

Ye Huaiyu laughed out loud as if laughing at himself.

In the imperial palace three hundred miles to the west, the emperor who had just taken charge of the government put down the music in his hand and glanced at the old eunuch standing quietly behind him.

The old eunuch has been in the palace all his life, and has assisted three generations of emperors so far, so he is naturally very good at observing words and feelings, and he dutifully walked over in small steps, did not speak, and only took out the ears on both sides of his head.

"Where did Ye Huaiyu lead the people?"

Only then did the old eunuch tear open the invisible seal on his mouth and said, "Back to the emperor, it stands to reason that it should be almost there." ”

The new emperor is 12 years old this year, and he has been raised as a prince in the palace for many years, and he has been precipitated in this dark palace for three years.

Listening to the old eunuch's words, he slowly raised his eyelids, his dark eyes stared in one direction, not happy or angry, and asked him leisurely: "According to whose reason, where should you go?" ”

The old eunuch's eyebrows changed slightly, and his body immediately stiffened.

The sound of horses' hooves gradually approached, and the shouts of the other party as if they were in circles after resting seemed to be close at hand.

This is probably the most depressing time since Ye Huaiyu's march and battle, the other party's face doesn't have to be exposed, and even shouting before the battle is saved, and when he comes up, he is directly beaten by a fat man with his head pressed.

The group of Shangjing children who beat them were all grizzled like lost dogs, and they didn't know where they were, and they didn't know who to find to avenge after they escaped by luck in the future.

But how could Ye Huaiyu let them succeed like this, if you don't show your face, I want to force you to come over!

Raising his hand to wipe away the blood splashed on his face, Ye Huaiyu picked up an arrow on the ground, split it into two, and then quietly hid in his arms, and at this moment the other party was already approaching.

The young master soldiers brought with him have probably never been on the battlefield in their lives, and even the palace wall is the first time in their lives, but the first time they went to die, it was unlucky enough.

More than 200 people who were lucky enough to be alive were so frightened that their lips turned white at this moment, their bodies trembled like chaff, and they couldn't control their hands and wanted to disarm and surrender, Ye Huaiyu had no time to care about him, and if he wanted to die, he didn't have the courage at the moment.

The other party mysteriously finally appeared, Ye Huaiyu probed over, but found that this group of people were still wearing cheap masks sold by vendors like cultists, so his heart was even more suspicious, and after thinking about it, he quietly clenched the big knife in his hand.

The old eunuch was able to maintain a calm appearance, although the emperor did not look at him, but he still felt that those eyes pierced his texture like a stinger, painful, and numb. He is indeed good at observing people's eyes, and he is naturally able to deal with it easily, but he has accompanied the emperor three times, and the third time should have been the most appropriate, but it was also this third time, and it was the most precarious.

What he is afraid of is not the emperor's moodiness, he is afraid of the emperor's cruelty.

The old eunuch cautiously replied, "Your Majesty, don't worry." ”

The emperor didn't say anything more, reached out and picked up the piece he had just read, and with a big stroke of his pen, he made a "may" on it.

The Criminal Department recently arrested a corrupt official, and he has chosen a day to behead, and the vacated seat has become the object of competition for many people.

Just as Ye Huaiyu was thinking about countermeasures in his heart, I don't know who stood up with his hands above his head first, and I don't know who first tore off a piece of the white lining of his clothes and put it on top of his head, which is really funny and embarrassing!

When Ye Huaiyu realized it, the two hundred or so people had already begun to tacitly understand that you learn from me and I will learn from you, and they threw the royal face neatly to eight hundred miles away.

The crude white flags of different sizes fluttered alone in the wind, and Ye Huaiyu didn't even see it himself, so he really didn't have a chance to get home.

The shouting of "Yo Yo" in the mask's mouth was unbearable, like a cult song.

In the midst of the teaching song, it was as if it was a soundtrack for the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the words seemed to be sifted out of a sieve, "We surrender...... Surrender...... Heroes spare their lives......"

Ye Huaiyu put his left hand on his right hand and slowly untied his sleeves.

An ingenious mechanism was hidden in it, and it was an emergency weapon that he had made when he was alone in the school yard a few days ago. Fu looked up at the crowd, and his body began to move slowly.

"Let your leaders come out, and I will spare you from death!" The "cultists" finally stopped singing and even started talking.

Ye Huaiyu, who was moving, moved in his heart, and at the same time as doubts flashed in his eyes, he silently rolled to a place where the young master soldiers could not see.

The wrecks made eye contact in private, and finally found out in despair that none of them could accurately tell Ye Huaiyu's hiding place, and their emotions suddenly got a little out of control.

Ye Huaiyu couldn't help but secretly spit out some dirty words, this group of young master soldiers who gave it for nothing not only gave the other party's head himself, but also sent his own to him!

They were already out of order, and their heroic posture before leaving Beijing was just for window dressing, so if they really encountered real knives and guns, their morale naturally plummeted without any surprise.

And their backbone does not know where they are, which makes them fall into an ice cellar and regret not being at the beginning.

Seeing this, the "cultists" immediately began to shoot arrows with bows and arrows again, and sent the few people standing in front of them to meet the king of Hades as if they were killing chickens and monkeys.

Ye Huaiyu rolled away again, thinking distractedly, they only dared to use arrows, they were clearly covering something!

Screams spread from the young master's soldiers, and seeing that the second wave of arrows was coming, the scene was almost out of control.

Here's his chance!

No one knows when and in what way Ye Huaiyu moved, in short, when he appeared, he was already standing behind the "cults".

There was confusion ahead, and the crowd felt that he was hiding in the middle of the surrenderers, so they had no time to care, so he took advantage of the chaos to shoot, and a small pocket arrow was shot silently, and the sharpened tip of the arrow flashed in the sunlight, and pierced into the neck of one of the men standing in the last row.

The man only wailed before he fell to the ground with a convulsion, his face quickly turning blue, and he soon fell unconscious.

He quenched poison in his arrows.

The masked man reacted quickly and turned his arrows to his side, but Ye Huaiyu's lone target was too small after all, and it was not easy for anyone to find it if he really had the intention to hide.

Ye Huaiyu, who was hiding in the tree, had a murderous look in his eyes, no one here had to care, but he wanted to avenge the war horse.

He struck again, targeting the leader who was heavily protected.

That man wants his life, so let's see whose life is bigger!

However, it is perhaps, that this is really a non-governmental cult organization, and even if there is a lesson from the past, people who perceive danger can still go forward and die for that leader.

At the last moment, the attendant standing next to the man resolutely blocked him with his chest, willing to be eroded by poisoned arrows.

But this also exposed the position where he was dodging, and the arrows that came in the same way came by mistake with his pocket arrows, Ye Huaiyu had no choice but to lean down, fell behind the big tree, and then dodged into the grass one person high, mosquitoes and flies suddenly flew in front of him, and there were many more big bags on his face, Ye Huaiyu held his breath and strode forward.

But his feet were always hard to beat his four legs, and the sound of horses' hooves came to his ears through the grass, like a talisman.

Ye Huaiyu stopped suddenly, his ears moved slightly to hear the position, and suddenly raised his hand to shoot an arrow to the side, and someone fell off the horse in response.

Hit!

Then he made another quick move, and with a few smacks, the arrow shot out in a semicircle, and the wail immediately filled the grass that covered the sky.

The sleeve arrow was empty, Ye Huaiyu quietly raised his foot and stepped out, snatched the horse whip in the hand of the person who was foaming at the mouth, turned over on the horse nearby, and galloped with the whip.

A group of people were just about to continue the pursuit, but the leader raised his hand slightly, and actually let the people go. Then he raised his hand backwards, and immediately they took up their bows and shot arrows.

After a while, with a few last whimpering and struggling with life, the most primitive silence returned to the jungle.

If Ye Huaiyu is still there at this moment, he will think again, if he doesn't say a word, is he also hiding something?

After passing through this grass and climbing over a mountain, we arrived at the destination of Anqu County.

Ye Huaiyu discerned the direction and ran wildly, but after a distance, he found that there was no one behind him, at first he thought that he was running fast and they couldn't catch up, but now he realized that the group of people didn't plan to chase at all.

Did they have the idea of just getting rid of him in the jungle?

So what if you can't solve it?

They didn't chase after them, but the task was not completed, which must not be allowed, then......

Ye Huaiyu looked at the direction of Anqu County in front of him, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow.

He must be waiting for him in front!

After the emperor finished approving all the pieces, his expression was a little tired, he raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, and asked casually, "How is the imperial sister lately?" ”

The old eunuch said: "Your Majesty, it's still the same as always." ”

The emperor rubbed his eyebrows for a moment, as if sighing, and said, "I haven't seen the imperial sister for a long time." ”

The old eunuch cautiously proposed, "Then why don't you summon the eldest princess into the palace?" ”

The emperor stopped rubbing his eyebrows, but there was still a trace of tiredness in his eyes, and when he heard that the tiredness seemed to be stronger, he shook his head and said slowly: "No, just ask the shadow to go and see her for me, and bring my words with you." ”

"Yes."

The old eunuch came out of the study and let out a long sigh of relief.

Without Ye Huaiyu at home, Cheng Jingxi felt empty when she stayed in the room alone, and he was often not at home in the past, but when it was time to eat, he would inevitably come back, and eating with her seemed to have become an unwritten habit.

It has also become her habit.

So if he didn't come back, Cheng Jingxi felt a little lonely in her heart, she silently looked at the food on the table, and silently thought that tonight's food was not delicious at all.

"Your Highness has no appetite?"

Cheng Jingxi was startled and almost screamed.

The man called the shadow suddenly fell from the roof, with no expression on his face, and fell to his knees and said, "Your Highness." ”

Cheng Jingxi didn't have a good face, "What are you doing here?" The emperor asked you to talk again? ”

The shadow said: "Back to His Royal Highness, the emperor asked his subordinates to bring a notebook, saying that Ye Huaiyu was not at home, and this notebook could be used for chatting and comforting." ”

Cheng Jingxi was suspicious, "What is it?" ”

The shadow really took out a notebook from his bosom and offered it with both hands, "Your Highness." ”

Cheng Jingxi raised her hand to take it, and flipped through it roughly, but she didn't see what it meant, could it be that the imperial brother has been too idle recently?

"Tell me, how did the emperor tell you to spread the word?"

The shadow said: "Back to Your Highness, my subordinates have made it very clear just now, the emperor is indeed asking the princess to read the book this time." ”

Cheng Jingxi looked at him with complicated eyes for a while, "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, it's gone."

"And what are you doing here?"

The shadow said with a sense of urgency: "Back to Your Highness, your subordinates will disappear." ”

After Cheng Jingxi confirmed that Bi'er was not there, she opened the things sent and looked at them.

It's a story that's not too long.,It's about the hero who was originally a royal child.,Once a soldier became a prisoner.,The hero is a do-nothing.,The new lord established the country and amnesty the world.,Also pardoned the hero.,Raise him in a remote but rich place.。

But the new master was worried in his heart, and he couldn't go against his golden words, so he asked the protagonist several times if this remote and rich place was good.

The protagonist was very happy, and said again and again, yes, yes, it's great.

When the people around the protagonist saw this, they taught him to speak.,Thinking about the next time the new master comes to ask, it's easy to answer.。

When the new master came to ask again, the hero said with tears in his eyes, my father, grandfather and great-grandfather were buried in Kyoto, and there was not a day in my heart that I didn't miss it.

The new master said that this is not like what you can say.,The hero knows that the lie has been exposed.,Under the big change in his face, he immediately decided to confess to the people around him.,It's him.,It's all what he taught me!

This is the end of the story, Cheng Jingxi started to read it with relish, but then it was not a taste, and when she finally closed the book, she couldn't help but sigh.

The emperor's tricks are really more and more, not only do they often send people to deliver messages to her, but they also write the content into the book for fear of being heard.

I never forget to remind her that no matter where she marries, she will never be able to take off the word "Cheng" on the top of her head.
