Chapter 144: Interception

"You........ Aren't you locked up in a stone chamber waiting to die? ”

Wu Yi was terrified as if he had seen a ghost, and he was obviously panicked when he saw Liu Siyi's figure.

"If we two sisters don't make a good show, how can we deceive you and your master?"

Wu Yi turned his head back and forth to look at the two of them, and said angrily: "You have been lying to me!" It turns out that you have hooked up with those people from the Western Regions a long time ago! ”

Ning Er slowly pulled out the soft sword at her waist, held it in her hand, and said expressionlessly: "It seems that you lied to us first, you dog thing that eats inside and out!" ”

If Wu Yi's three-legged cat kung fu can still be compared with Ning Er twice, then when Liu Siyi is added, he will have no room for survival.

The four thousand heavy cavalry under Wu Yi's hand were still staying in the guillotine cliff, and under Ning Er's instructions, as soon as he walked on his front foot, the two heavy tiger head gates on his back foot fell.

Even though they didn't receive Wu Yi's arrows, how could those heavy cavalry not know that something was wrong? One by one, the horses were urged to break open the big tiger's head gate,

But these two gates are so heavy that manpower can shake them?

Until the crossbowmen under Ning'er's ambush slaughtered all the people and horses, they never left a single white mark on the tiger head gate.

Besides, in this Taiping Hall, Ning Er and Liu Siyi joined forces, and soon separated Wu Yi's head and body, Ning Er was full of hatred and put his head in a sandalwood box, wrapped in red cloth, and sent it to Zhu Zongchen,

This incident made Ning Er feel very angry, after all, Ning Er had always been obedient to Zhu Zongchen, and he took care of the Wugu Sect little by little to make it bigger and stronger, but he didn't know that in the end, he became a thorn in the side of others, a thorn in the flesh, and a stone blocking the feet of others, kicking away at will when he was not needed.

In fact, when Liu Siyi mentioned it to Ning Er for the first time, Ning Er had already paid attention to it, and some of Zhu Zongchen's abnormal fatwa also aroused her vigilance, and some opportunities by accident brought her into contact with Nie Upari, and the two almost hit it off, Ning Er also planned to listen to Liu Siyi's words and live for herself.

Ning Er knew that Zhang Yu was definitely unwilling to follow her, so she found Liu Siyi and asked her to cooperate with her, and acted in a good show of seizing power.

Although Liu Siyi and Ning Er had more or less conflicts, she was still a person who remembered the old love, so she accepted it, and it should be regarded as a thank you gift to Ning Er for helping her get out of the Wugu Sect smoothly.

To be on the safe side, she didn't even tell Ziyun.

Ning Er was very successful in using her ambition to "make it clear", but instead made Zhu Zongchen think that she was a person who could not control her desires, and she would kill herself, and let down her vigilance, and then used this gap to gradually control the Wugu Sect, and also increased the bargaining chips with the people of the Western Regions.

Ning Er watched the sandalwood box being carried out of the hall, and then let out a heavy breath, and said to Liu Siyi: "Thank you, now that you are completely free, you can go back to Chengdu to find your sweetheart." ”

Liu Siyi raised his head lightly, met Ning Er's gaze and asked, "Do we still have a chance to meet?" ”

Ning Er lightly covered her red lips with her sleeve skirt, revealing the shallow pear vortex on her cheeks, and said with a smile: "It won't be long before my sister is already staying in the gentle township, where can I still think of seeing my sister." ”

Liu Siyi smiled sweetly: "You are a national teacher, how can a bird like me know your ambition." ”

Ning Er smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Honghu is also forced to become Honghu, how many women in the world can have a good life like my sister." ”

There was a hint of envy in her eyes that could not be concealed when she looked at Liu Siyi, but she quickly carefully hid it in her heart.

"Okay, sister, go back quickly, I'm afraid that your lover is not worried, and I will be ready to leave here."

Liu Siyi also nodded heavily, and drew a deep crescent moon on Ning Er's face: "That........ We'll meet later!"

After speaking, she turned around and walked out of the hall, the feeling of relief made Liu Siyi feel a little lighter under her feet, and now she can finally pursue everything and accept everything without distraction.

Ning Er looked at Liu Siyi's petite back, and also smiled deeply, and muttered in a low voice:

"May ........ Let's cherish each one. ”

Chengdu

Less than half a day after An Yi came out of the political envoy department, the news of the death of Zeng Ziren, the commander of the Sichuan Metropolitan Commander, came, but no one could tell how this young master, who was once known to everyone in Chengdu, died.

According to the inspector Zhou Rulin, when collecting evidence and investigating according to the law, the Chengdu garrison general An Yi only said that it was because he led his troops to pursue the Liao army fleeing north without notifying anyone, and was accidentally ambushed and killed, and Zhao Shuang, the garrison general of Long'an Mansion, was used as a witness.

The most unexpected thing for Zhou Rulin was that when he went to the Political Envoy Department to understand the situation, Zhu Zongchen actually said seriously that he saw Zeng Ziren leading his troops out of the city after nightfall, and when he wanted to send someone to intercept him, he had disappeared into the night.

Including the royal palace sent to the northwest Chongzheng table in front of the case, he also asked the saint to pursue the courage to serve the country and bravely pursue the enemy.

The royal government, the political envoys, and the green camp have a rare word of public opinion, so that even if Zhou Rulin is suspicious, he has no way to refute it, so he can only record the criminal department according to the original words, and at the same time include it in the Chengdu Prefecture Chronicle of Sichuan:

In the 40th year of Chongzheng, Sichuan commander Tongzhi Zeng Ziren pursued the Liao army alone, and finally died in battle because of the exhaustion of artillery.

After comfortably and successfully hanging Zeng Ziren on the wall, Zhu Zongchen also handed the information he wanted to the garrison office on time, and he ordered more than 10,000 people from Chengdu and Long'an that night, marched day and night, and surrounded the direction of Wugujiao Dazhai.

The battle of Chengdu was tragic, but let these new young men under An Yi's hands completely experience a baptism of war, although the number is not as large as before the war, but the combat effectiveness is no longer the same.

According to Jiang Shang's words, these current soldiers are the battleable army that can really be pulled into the battlefield.

The Wugu Sect set off at the same time as An Yi, and they didn't directly cross the Qingchuan River to the north, because it was the camp of Yelu Xiuke, and the little prince was deflated in Chengdu, and he had no place to send it when his stomach was on fire, so Ning Er would not touch this frieze.

She took the integrated Wugu Sect with nearly 40,000 people, and planned to enter the border of Long'an Mansion from the Huling Fortress, and then go all the way to the north, when she was close to the boundary of Lintao Mansion, she inserted it into the territory of Long'an Mansion for about 300 miles and turned directly into the northwest, which is equivalent to completely bypassing the defense area of the Liao army, just passing through one or two small county towns under Long'an Mansion.

Ning'er still doesn't pay attention to these places, and if she doesn't give them, she will fight.

It's just that

Heaven always likes to make the same joke in the same place,

An Yi led the army to the northwest on this road, and due to the advantage of distance, he arrived at the particularly critical Huling Fortress half a day earlier than Ning'er, and after receiving the news that the Wugu Sect army was about to arrive at the fortress from the sentinel cavalry, he decisively ordered to fortify here.

"Lord Protector God, our sentry has found out that the fortress is the green battalion soldiers and horses of Chengdu and Long'an, and there are more than 10,000 people at a rough glance."

A sect member Pegasus rushed back to Ning'er's horse to report.

3,000 people went to this fortress, and the remaining more than 7,000 soldiers and horses were all stationed on the ridge.

Ning'er definitely doesn't want to be tough, the smaller the movement, the less the loss, she doesn't know if this official army is not good to stay in the city after the battle, what are you doing here, but since the two governments are all in the army, it is estimated that Zeng Ziren commanded, this little young master's reason must not make sense, only beat him up first,

So she ordered to set up a battle and storm Huling, planning to let Zeng Ziren suffer a little loss first, so that she could also increase her chips when she talked next.

Fox Ridge Fortress

An Yi didn't know what the meaning of this Wugu Sect drove the army here, but before he could figure it out, he saw the Wugu Sect people and horses in front of the ridge from a distance, rushing towards the Fox Ridge like a tide, he turned his head and commanded Jiang Shang: "General Jiang, since others have already made a move, no matter what their intentions, they will be subdued first!" ”

"Yes!"

Ning Er in front of the ridge saw that the 5,000 men and horses she sent out were fallen in pieces like cutting leeks by Jiang Yun's Chinese military camp with a salvo, and then the two cavalry in the fortress and Lingbei went out, and directly killed her sect members who had not yet reacted from the sound of the drums.

In less than a stick of incense, after leaving behind the corpses of the sect members, they retreated in a hurry.

Ning Er didn't know how this Zeng Ziren's men and horses had become so powerful, the originally low Fox Ridge looked as if it was thousands of feet tall today, standing in front of them, insurmountable.

"Forget it, take it all down, stop fighting."

She gritted her teeth and commanded the sect members on the side with a cold face,

Ning Er knew in her heart that how many people she had in her hands would directly determine the courtesy she would receive after arriving in Wusun, if she fought all the people here, even if she fought Huling to the Western Regions, it would just be to suffer the eyes of others.

She instructed the sect members beside her: "You two and I carry two wooden boxes to knock on the pass, and say that the protector god of the Five Grains Sect has a gift to offer to the envoy of Commander Zeng." ”

At the moment, it seemed that she could only try the negotiation path, and her mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to fool this little young master.

But An Yi didn't expect this Dharma Protector to react "so quickly", and he was about to come to negotiate if he couldn't make a wave of losses.

But since the Wugu Sect is willing to negotiate, it would be better, An Yi is not a Zhu Zongchen, the reason why he said before that he wanted to exterminate the Wugu Sect was because Ziyun brought back Liu Siyi because of the news of the death of the Wugu Sect, killed his beloved An Yi, can he still vent his anger with the Wugu Sect?

But now that Zhu Zongchen told him that Liu Siyi was still alive, then in fact, as long as this Dharma Protector God handed over the person, everything could be talked about for him.

The Huling Fortress was burned clean by the fire set by Zhang Yu before, and now it is difficult to find a piece of tile, so he ordered someone to bring the Dharma Protector to his Chinese army tent.

Ning Er, dressed in a riding uniform and behind the leading sergeant, went to the big tent of the Chinese army and untied the soft sword at his waist, and walked in.

It doesn't matter what this look is, she and An Yi said almost in unison:

"How are you?"

"How are you?"

Ning'er was puzzled that she was looking for Zeng Ziren, the commander of the capital, why did she bring her to the comfortable tent, so she said: "What I want to find is the commander Zeng, what does Lord An mean by bringing me here?" ”

An Yi is puzzled, isn't this person the little maid beside Gao Yingshu, Ning Er, who later fell off the cliff and disappeared?

"Should I call you Ning'er? Or should I call you the Dharma Protector? ”

"Political envoys can be sect leaders, what? Master An thinks that Ning'er can't be the protector god? ”

An Yi looked her up and down and said: "I just said that a maid horse is so good, I remember that you also said at the time that you had a brother in the border army, and now it seems that you have hidden deep enough, and even the Shu Wangfu can penetrate into it." ”

Ning Er argued: "At that time, each was his master, and it was in the past, why should Lord An be so mindful." ”

He just smiled and was not annoyed, and asked her: "Okay, since the Fa God has spoken, then I won't talk about the past, let's talk about the present, why did you come to our army in person?" ”

"I have something to offer to Commander Zeng, please take me there."

An Yi put the brush in his hand on the edge of the inkstone, stood up and walked in front of Ning Er, pointed to the brazier in front of Shuai'er and said, "If there is really something dedicated to Zeng Ziren, then you may have to burn it to him." ”

"What do you mean?" Ning Er was a little puzzled,

An Yi pointed to the mahogany chair next to him, motioned for Ning Er to sit down, and then sat on the top position with Erlang's legs crossed, and said absent-mindedly: "Contemptible people, these officers and soldiers are under my command right now, tell me if the Dharma Protector God has anything, as for the former commander, you can give him your own dream when you are free."
