Chapter 219: The county lord ran away
Hua'an led a thousand soldiers to the captive camp, and quietly arrived at the north gate, the defenders of the north gate immediately opened the city gate, Hua'an rode out of the city alone, and after seeing that there was indeed no enemy army outside the city, he made a big move, and a thousand subordinates ran outside the city one after another.
The soldiers of the capture battalion, the people with the rank of horses, did not raise torches, and quietly walked in the direction of the Valley of Ten Thousand Wolves by the moonlight.
Less than a mile out of the city, the soldiers could see the large bonfire outside the West Gate, the Zhao army's camp, at this moment, the enemy soldiers should be cooking for the fire, and it looks so ordinary.
Hua An was burdened with a heavy responsibility, and he had no intention of admiring the bonfire of the Zhao army's camp, he had only one thought in his heart, to enter the Valley of Ten Thousand Wolves, and burn tens of thousands of deniers of the enemy's military rations with one fire.
"Brethren, speed up." Hua An pressed his throat and urged.
Hearing the order, the soldiers slaughtered towards the Valley of Ten Thousand Wolves at a faster speed.
######
After Hua An led the soldiers of the capture battalion to run out of the north gate, the north gate of the Great Thorn City was closed again, and the soldiers responsible for guarding the north gate were still holding weapons and guarding near the city gate.
......Just then, a soldier in armor rushed from inside the city.
"Stop, someone." Xiao Xiaoping, who was guarding the city gate, raised the weapon in his hand and scolded loudly.
The person who came was not in a hurry, took out a token from his arms, put it in front of Xiao Xiaoxiao, and said loudly: "On the order of King Yan, go out of the city to spy on the enemy, and open the door quickly." ā
Seeing that the token in the hand of the person who came was indeed the token of the Yan Wangfu, the little colonel hurriedly ordered: "Open the city gate." ā
"Click......"
There was a heavy click, and the north gate of the Great Thorn City opened.
The cavalry soldier put away the token in his hand, tightened his horse's belly, let out a loud shout, and rode out of the Great Thorn City.
"Driving ......"
As soon as the cavalry soldiers left, the city gate was closed, and a dozen men on horseback rushed over.
Xiao Xiao looked up, and was taken aback, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "The villain sees the fourth prince." ā
That's right, the dozen or so horsemen who rushed over were led by Murong Ke, the fourth son of King Yan.
Murong Ke saw that the city gate had been closed, and said urgently: "How long has the county lord been out of the city?" ā
The little colonel was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly replied in a daze: "That person was the county lord just now, and he has been out of the city for a while. ā
A civilian-looking person behind Murong Ke pointed at the junior colonel and shouted, "Bastard, why did you let the county lord out of the city." ā
Xiao Xiao felt wronged, and hurriedly shouted: "Fourth prince, the villain is wronged!" The county lord is dressed as a soldier, and there is a token in his hand, the villain doesn't dare not open the door! ā
Murong Ke frowned and pondered for a moment, then said loudly: "Open the city gate and chase me." ā
"Fourth prince, the county lord has been out of the city for a while, but I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up." A military general spoke up to stop.
Murong Ke naturally understood that it was impossible to catch up at this time, but he didn't know how to explain to his father Murong Hao, and he was in a dilemma for a while.
"Fourth prince, we have to go back and report to the king truthfully." The civil official behind him built yƬ road.
Murong Ke lowered his head and closed his eyes, took a breath, and said loudly: "Go back to the palace." ā
"Driving ......"
Murong Ke turned his horse's head and led more than a dozen horsemen and horses towards the Yan Wangfu in the middle of the Great Thorn City.
And the reason why Murong Yan dressed as a soldier and secretly ran out of the Great Thorn City was because she overheard the conversation between the fourth brother Murong Ke and her uncle Murong Khan in the mansion.
From their mouths, Murong Yan learned that Hua An would lead the captive camp deep into the Valley of Ten Thousand Wolves to carry out an extremely dangerous mission, and it was very likely that there would be no return, and the two even sighed again and again.
Murong Yan had already had a love for Hua'an, and how could he sit still when he heard the news, so he dressed up as a small soldier and rode out of the Great Thorn City.
By the time Murong Ke, who got the news first, arrived at the north gate, Murong Yan had already walked away.
#######
Murong Ke and more than a dozen subordinates hurried back to the palace, and as soon as they entered the main hall, they saw Murong Haozheng and several family members discussing important matters.
"Father, Yan'er is out of the city." Murong Ke hurriedly reported.
"Hmm." Murong Hao replied casually, paused for a moment, and said in surprise: "What, Yan'er is out of the city, when." ā
Seeing that his father was in a hurry, Murong Ke told Murong Yan the details of going out of the city pretending to be a soldier.
Murong Hao was in a hurry, this was his most beloved daughter, the reason why he named his daughter Murong Yan was for his dreams, when he was young, he hoped that he would be fortunate enough to establish the Great Yan Kingdom in the future, and secondly, in his heart, his daughter and the Great Yan Kingdom were equally important.
"Shi Hu's army of hundreds of thousands is just outside the city, she is a girl, what are she doing out of the city." Murong Hao became anxious.
Murong Ke and Murong Khan glanced at each other, their faces twitched a few times, obviously they knew some reasons.
Murong Hao caught the abnormality of the two, looked at Murong Khan, and asked, "Seventh brother, you once said that Hua'an once saved Yan'er in Yecheng, and he can be regarded as Yan'er's life-saving benefactor, is the relationship between them just benefactors?" Are you hiding something. After speaking, he stared at Murong Khan.
Murong Khan naturally concealed the fact that Murong Yan loved Hua An, because Hua An was already the general of the Great Jin Dynasty at this time, and it was impossible for him to be loyal to Da Yan, and Murong Khan was not optimistic about the relationship between the two, so he concealed this matter and did not tell Murong Hao truthfully.
Seeing that Murong Khan didn't speak, Murong Hao already understood, it turned out that his baby daughter was in love with Hua An, and it was easy to explain that Hua An was in danger and risked out of the city.
"Father, Yan'er must have gone to the Valley of Ten Thousand Wolves, what should we do." Murong Ke asked anxiously.
Murong Hao pursed his lips and bowed his head silently, was silent for a long time, looked at Murong Khan, and said, "Seventh brother, how many soldiers and horses are there in the city. ā
"Brother Wang, it's less than 10,000." Murong Khan replied truthfully.
When Murong Jun, the prince of the world, heard this, he felt that his father was showing signs of leading troops out of the city, and he was immediately anxious, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Father, there are 100,000 Shihu troops outside the city, and you must not risk your life!" ā
"Then don't you care about Yan'er?" Murong Hao was a little dissatisfied.
"As the head of a country, my father must consider Dayan's society, Yan'er has made a mistake by going out of the city without permission, and we can't destroy our society for Yan'er alone." Murong Jun said.
What Murong Jun said was righteous words, after Murong Hao heard it, he was both happy and disappointed, happy that Murong Jun had a sense of the overall situation, understood the importance of Jiangshang Sheji, and even did not hesitate to sacrifice his own sister to hand over Dayan's country to him, he was very relieved.
And the disappointment is that Murong Yan is his own sister after all, when he heard that his own sister was in danger, his face showed no signs of anxiety, for the sake of the country, he didn't even care about the most basic family affection, if he really handed over the country to him, would his other heirs be able to live?
