Chapter 326: Prelude to the Resurgence of the Great War
Finally arrived at Yuxiao Pass, Xu Muchuan hurriedly entered the customs and asked Zeyu to explain many matters such as grain and grass, and also talked about the old days with Huo Qingwen.
Xu Muchuan casually glanced at the soldiers in the Jade Xiao Pass, and he could feel a deep sense of urgency and depression permeating. The army of 100,000 Shu is stationed ten miles away, which is indeed difficult for people to eat, drink and rest.
"Brother Xu, do you think this Shu Kingdom will attack in the end?" On the city wall, Huo Qingwen didn't stick too much about etiquette, directly patted Xu Muchuan's shoulder, and asked with a chuckle.
"Yes, and it will." Xu Muchuan looked at the black pressure in the distance, and after muttering for a while, he responded solemnly.
The smile on the corner of Huo Qingwen's mouth slowly disappeared, and finally turned into a solemn and dull look: "Brother Xu, do you think we have a chance to win?" ”
"I don't know, ask the old general who has been in the world for decades, and he must know it." Xu Muchuan didn't dare to make a conclusion, so he could only perfunctory the past at will. It's just that in Xu Muchuan's heart, he really feels that if it is a big war together, the Jade Xiao Pass may not be able to hold it.
The siege of 100,000 Shu troops, even if it is a pile of human lives, it should be piled up to the city of Yuxiao Pass.
"Brother Xu, if this battle can be won, you and my brother are drinking hard, how about it?" Maybe in Huo Qingwen's heart, he already had a fixed number, but he didn't feel panicked and afraid, but was extremely indifferent.
"Okay." Xu Muchuan stared at Huo Qingwen and smiled lightly.
The next day, everyone had already settled their diet early in the morning.
Xu Muchuan sent a scout to the Shu camp and told the general of Shu that the body of Princess Ping'an had come, and for the sake of safety, both sides traveled five miles to send the princess's body back.
Soon, the scout who rode out on a war horse to deliver the letter rushed back, and walked straight to Xu Muchuan's side: "My lord, the Shu army agreed." ”
"Lord Xu, let the last general go!" Xin Xiongzhuang slowly stood up from behind Wen Zeyu and bowed his hand to Xu Muchuan.
"This time, the official will go in person." Xu Muchuan covered the small box on his chest and glanced meaningfully at the ice carved jade coffin placed not far away.
"No, adults, it's too dangerous. If there is any change in the Shu army, then the safety of the adults will be affected. Ran Hong, the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, was so worried that he had to speak and admonish.
"The official agreed to the princess's dying request, so naturally he can't go back. What's more, has there been less danger to this official in the past year? Not bad this time. Xu Muchuan seemed to put life and death aside, and said with a disapproving smile, but there was an indescribable surge in the depths of his eyes.
"In that case, let's go with you!" Ran Hong knew that he couldn't resist Xu Muchuan, so he had to take a step back helplessly.
Xu Muchuan didn't say anything more, nodded and agreed.
Click, click, click
The four horses pulled the ice-carved jade coffin, and under the gaze of Xu Muchuan and other ten people, they slowly marched forward. And at this moment, there are naturally people in the army of Shu who hurriedly come over.
The place where the two armies met was the center of the confrontation between the Yuxiao Pass and the Shu army.
Liang Yongfeng was wearing blood-red armor, which was extremely conspicuous in the crowd, so that Xu Muchuan noticed him at a glance. The two sides were fifty meters apart, and they both stopped in unison.
"Princess Ping'an's body is here, I don't know who came to pick it up?" Xu Muchuan took a deep breath and said loudly.
Liang Yongfeng looked at the ice carved jade coffin from a distance, and almost there was a mist in his eyes, but fortunately, Liang Yongfeng was able to grasp his thoughts, and quickly suppressed his emotions.
Just as Liang Yongfeng took a slight step forward, the soldier beside him hurriedly said: "General, this matter is still up to the last general!" The general must not be put in danger. ”
"She's back, and Ben should pick her up himself." Liang Yongfeng seems to have forgotten the tension between the two countries at this moment, and he is not worried about an ambush ahead.
"General, think twice!" A group of soldiers on Liang Yongfeng's side eagerly admonished.
"Stand down, Ben will know it in his heart, no need to say more." Liang Yongfeng had a solemn face, kicked the loess fiercely, and directly stepped on a five-centimeter-thick footprint.
Seeing Liang Yongfeng so resolute, the Shu army soldiers who came with him could only suppress the worries in their hearts and not say a word more. It's just that their hands are on the grips of sharp blades, presumably as long as Liang Yongfeng is in the slightest danger, they will rush out to rescue in an instant.
Da-da-da-
Step by step, Liang Yongfeng's heavy steps stepped on the loess sediment, directly sinking the loess and depositing the sediment. Whenever Liang Yongfeng took a step forward towards the ice carved jade coffin in front of him, his heart would pound heavily.
Xu Muchuan squinted his eyes, looked at Liang Yongfeng, who was getting closer and closer, and muttered, "I don't know if it's this person?" ”
After a while, Liang Yongfeng walked in front of Xu Muchuan and the others. However, he didn't stay for a moment, and directly crossed Xu Muchuan and the others and walked to the side of the ice carved jade coffin.
Liang Yongfeng's current face contains all kinds of complex emotions, which people can't see through at all. His hands seemed to stretch out a little tremblingly, wanting to touch Xiao Yuexue, who was sleeping in the ice carved jade coffin in front of him.
Hovering in mid-air, Liang Yongfeng's hands did not fall on the jade coffin after all, but slowly retracted it. Because he was afraid of the dirtiness of his hands, he defiled the sleeping Xiao Yuexue.
"Princess, I'll take you home." Liang Yongfeng regarded Xu Muchuan and the other ten people as air, as if there was no Xu Muchuan and the others in his eyes, and just said softly to the jade coffin.
Subsequently, Liang Yongfeng ignored Xu Muchuan and the others, directly took the reins of the war horse, and planned to leave with Xiao Yuexue's body.
Wen Ruofei and Huo Qingwen and the others looked at Liang Yongfeng's rude behavior, and their eyes showed a coldness, as if as long as Xu Muchuan opened his mouth, then they would pounce and bite like hungry tigers.
"I wonder what your Excellency's relationship is with the princess?" It wasn't until Liang Yongfeng took a few steps with the reins of the war horse that Xu Muchuan asked.
From the first moment Liang Yongfeng met Xu Muchuan's eyes, Xu Muchuan has been looking at Liang Yongfeng's movements and demeanor, wanting to see through Liang Yongfeng.
Liang Yongfeng heard Xu Muchuan's question, but he didn't pause at all, and slowly walked forward holding the reins with an expressionless face.
"Presumptuous!" Xin Xiongzhuang was stunned and reprimanded loudly.
However, Liang Yongfeng was still not the slightest moved, and did not respond at all. Because in Liang Yongfeng's heart, these people will soon become the corpses of his iron horse.
The beauty of Shu is called the moon and snow, the face of the city, and the appearance of the country.
From the moment Liang Yongfeng saw the ice carved jade coffin, he was so painful that he couldn't feel the position of his heart......
