Chapter Ninety-Eight: Outnumbered, the Road of No Return

Ying Xuan was deeply surprised when she saw Zhai Yin, Yi Xiaochuan, and Ying Que who came in a hurry, and she couldn't help asking, "Zhai Yin, Xiao Chuan, why didn't you leave?" ”

"Sister Xuan, we saw through the tiger talisman" Zhai Yin pursed his lips and then said, "Seeing that you will suffer, and you will encounter an accident." ”

"Oh, really?" Ying Xuan wrinkled her eyebrows slightly, she smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, but Zi Bu is silent, you are all right, you have also seen that everything is fine with me, let's go, Ying Que, you quickly take them out of here." ”

Yi Xiaochuan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, asked, "The patriarch took us away, but he was afraid of implicating us." ”

"Xiao Chuan's eyes are like torches, but it is just some ordinary transfers, the soldiers have been in one place for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some slackness, if there is a war, there may be variables, so I ordered some people to change places and set up camp, which can also prevent a sneak attack by the Chu army."

Zhai Yin also said in disapproval, "Sister Xuan, although this is not a road from ancient times in Huashan, but I see that the mountains here are steep, and there should be a great chance of winning according to the danger, unless you" Zhai Yin said and suddenly realized, "Unless you have other uses." ”

"It's just to leave a way back for the Qin army, don't worry about it."

————————————————————————————————————

Zhai Yin, who left the camp, said to Yi Xiaochuan: "I think Sister Xuan is afraid that she will have to make a big move. ”

Yi Xiaochuan said to Zhai Yin, "If it were you, why would you give up such a good terrain." ”

"This, if it were me, Bai Qi and they were fighting endlessly in the hinterland of Chu State, and now the Chu army and the Qin army on the opposite side are facing each other, it is absolutely inappropriate to make any changes at this moment, unless there are two possibilities, one is that Bai Qi's back road to return is cut off by the Chu army, well, there is another possibility, that is, because there are greater goals or interests. Uh, or, or maybe there's some intersection between the two, or even a combination of the two. ”

Yi Xiaochuan nodded and said, "It's roughly the same as I guessed." ”

————————————————————————————————————

In the mountains and forests controlled by the Chu army, Yi Xiaochuan and Zhai Yin captured a lower-ranking officer of the Chu army.

Although the man was bound by a rope, the thing that bound his hair fell off, his hair was scattered, and his sword was on his neck, but he was still extremely stubborn, and he did not say a word.

Zhai Yin stood behind this person and squinted her eyes slightly, she walked in front of the person who was tied, she took off the shoes of the captured Chu Jun, looked at it and said to Xiao Chuan with a smile, "Look, he doesn't look like our Qin people?" ”

The man sneered and said, "I am a dignified Chu national scholar, how can you be compared to your barbarian clan." ”

After Zhai Yin waved her hand to signal Xiaochuan not to be angry, she smiled and said, "Why don't I tell you a story, many years ago, Wei, Chu and other countries were deeply afraid of the Qin people, and they thought of a plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, they took away a group of orphans of the Qin people through business, and then focused on cultivating them, so that most of them became dead soldiers, so that in the future, on the battlefield, it was the Qin people who killed the Qin people themselves." ”

"You fart, I'm an authentic Chu person, I have relatives."

"You won't be so stupid, if a group of dead soldiers are all orphans, no matter how stupid the dead soldiers are, they will know that there are some problems with their origins, then what kind of dead soldiers are you, you really haven't heard of it at all."

"You, what evidence do you have to prove that I am from Qin."

Yi Xiaochuan pointed to the captive's foot and asked Zhai Yin, "Where are you talking about?" ”

Zhai Yin nodded, "His temperament is so strong, this makes me can't help but think of this, although he is young as a slave, you must know that the adult Ying clan man will tattoo the bird on his right arm, and the other Qin tribes will tattoo their own tribe's totem, but the Qin people, no matter which clan, have one point, that is, the toes, the little toes of the Qin people, whether left and right, are divided into two petals. ”

————————————————————————————————————

Zhai Yin and Xiaochuan learned through the mouths of the captives that the commander of the Chu army, Qi, sent people to make a detour to attack the Qin army, because of the passive fighting of Qi Rong, the Chu army captured a large number of Qin soldiers and local ordinary people, the Chu army detained all the prisoners in Jiangwangcheng, which is less than fifty miles away, and now the Chu army kills several Qin soldiers and ordinary people every day, Jiangwangcheng is already a purgatory on earth for the Qin people.

Yi Xiaochuan said: "Killing prisoners has always been the most taboo for people in the Warring States Period. ”

Zhai Yin said: "Killing prisoners is ominous, so it can be seen that the Chu army is probably jumping over the wall in a hurry." ”

"Zhai Yin, what you just said to the captive of the Chu State, well..."

"As the so-called soldiers are treacherous, what is the truth? What about the fake? Just listen to it, don't take it too seriously, if I were that person, I would never listen, after all, this is the battlefield, and this person's IQ can only be a low-level officer, boring. ”

"There were still many simple people in the Warring States Period."

"Well, the princes of the Warring States are contending with a hundred schools of thought, which is much stronger than the fact that under the rule of Confucianism in later generations, there were a group of people with rich hearts and two decent eyes."

Ying Que walked into the tent and saw Zhai Yin lying on the couch, she asked, "Sister, since Zhai Yin volunteered to go on your behalf, what is this?" ”

Ying Xuan was wiping her sword, and she replied, "Originally, for the sake of the people, I could only sacrifice her, but after thinking about it carefully, I finally thought that Zhai Yin was not good at it, so forget it." ”

"If the Chu army sees the death of the Ying clan patriarch, they will inevitably relax their vigilance, and we can rescue the hostages at the lowest cost."

Ying Xuan tapped his finger on the left back shoulder of the "three-star mark"

"Sister is saying that she is our offspring?"

"To be precise, she's a descendant of the Tori clan."

"Bird Custom, Bird Custom, ancestor Boyi was harmed by Xia Qi, his second son Dalian, Ruomu scattered and escaped, Ruomu descendant Fei Chang because of the merit of destroying Xia, among the nobles of the Shang Dynasty, the Bird Vulgar Clan's good divination is also a nobleman. However, I thought that the Bird Charm was good at divination through the Tiger Talisman, but the Tiger Talisman has always been in our hands, so sister, what kind of divination do you say the Bird Clan is good at? ”

"The last time I talked about the tiger talisman with Xiaochuan, I was very curious, since Da Lian and Ruomu each took a tiger talisman, then why did it come to the hands of the ancestor Ruomu, I copied a genealogy of the bird clan through the third uncle, and there was a record of one thing on it, saying that Da Lian was seriously injured, which caused the pursuers to chase after him, he did not fall off the cliff very much, fortunately a branch was hung to save his life, and then he was saved by a woman, the woman took care of Da Lian, and then the two became married."

"You mean, at that time, Da Lian used himself as bait to lure away the pursuers, so he left the tiger talisman to his younger brother Ruomu, uh, then he was lucky to fall off the cliff and be hung by a branch?"

"It is recorded in the book that the woman was called" Heavenly Maiden ", I think there are some reasons, when the Yellow Emperor once admired ghosts and gods and abandoned personnel, not to mention those powerful people, the family book records that the bird vulgar clan 'knows the ancient and modern, good at stealth, and travels thousands of miles a day without showing it', the bird vulgar clan became a nobleman earlier than us, and then their descendants all have a three-star mark of those who have special abilities."

"But Sister Yingyun also has this mark on her body?"

"That should be the beginning of intermarriage between our descendants, so some of our people also have this mark, you have seen a very shallow three-star mark when you were buried for Sister Yingyun, just now when Zhai Yin was about to change my battle uniform, I found that its mark is deep and clear."

"You mean, Zhai Yin is a descendant of the Heavenly Maiden, that's why you knocked her unconscious. But sister, have you forgotten the prophecy of the Tiger Talisman? ”

Ying Xuan was silent, and she couldn't help but read in her heart, "Bird Vulgar Clan, Bird Vulgar Clan, I left Zhai Yin for you, which can be regarded as a little compensation for Bai Qikeng's killing of many descendants of Bird Vulgar Clan." ”

In Jiangwang City, Qi was beating drums to gather generals, and he said to everyone: "According to the detailed report, the patriarch of the Ying clan has asked the King of Qin to order the mobilization of the surrounding Qin troops to feint against our army. ”

A general said to the coach Qi, "Whether it is a feint attack or a real attack, the boss, please rest assured, as long as this woman dares to come, we will definitely want this woman to be in a different place." ”

Qi sneered, "If King Qin's warrant can reach the Qin army, maybe this woman still has a chance, but look at it, what is this?" ”

Qi threw the warrant on the ground, and a military general stepped forward to pick it up and looked at it, laughing and passing it to his colleagues, "It seems that King Qin's order is in vain." ”

The crowd laughed and shouted, "Good." ”

After everyone laughed, Qi pointed to a place on the map and said, "We have set up an ambush here." The Qin army will be wiped out here. ”

————————————————————————————————————

In front of a narrow mountain peak, the silence was suffocating, Ying Xuan said to the dead man beside him, "It seems that the other party has already prepared, you wait to see, how quiet, it seems that this Qi still has some means." ”

The dead soldier beside him replied, "Patriarch, please rest assured, we are dead soldiers, and we have long left our lives behind, if we can bring a glimmer of hope to the people and soldiers of our Qin army to rescue Jiangwangcheng today, even if we die in battle, it will be worth it." ”

"Good, life can't be open-minded, although a hundred years of life, it is still a dead time. Today, I will go to Huangquan with all the soldiers, come to people, and bring wine. ”

"No." A dead man brought the wine.

Ying Xuan poured all the wine in the bag on the ground, and she said loudly, "The sky is above, the earth is below, the ancestors of the Ying family, listed as the sages, and now the unfilial descendants of Ying Xuan will go to the national disaster with the descendants of the Ying family, hand in hand with Huangquan, may my Great Qin shine forever on the land of China like the rising sun." ”

"Let's go to Huangquan, let's go to Huangquan together..."

"Forever in China, forever in China..."

The dead men shouted in unison.

————————————————————————————————————

The sound waves spread out with the air, and the first general of the Chu army, who was hiding in the shadows, said to Qi Yan, "Boss, it seems that the other party is aware of it, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to enter." ”

Qi sneered, "I ordered that all the captives be slaughtered before today." ”

"Boss Gao Jian, in this way, even if the patriarch of the Ying clan knows that there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of her, she has to do it."

"Hehe, although my king is virtuous, he doesn't love useless ministers, and without the defeat of the Qin army, where will there be our glory and wealth."

"The coach is wise, and my king is wise."

————————————————————————————————————

When Ying Xuan, who fell to the ground with several arrows in her body, saw Yi Xiaochuan and Bai Qi and the others, she finally closed her eyes with relief, and the corners of her mouth slightly upturned were the last expression she left in this world.

Bai Qi knelt on the ground, he gently hugged Yingxuan in his arms, and tears were silent.
