Chapter 561: Wind and Cloud (4)
The steppes sent a large number of horse teams, and they were able to successfully intercept the Iron Cavalry.
Small-scale ones can't be stopped, and large-scale ones can't catch up.
Moreover, where the steppe people are heavily defended, people will not stupidly run into it at all, so the steppe people are not able to be beaten by the attack tactics they are most familiar with.
can only strictly guard against the key positions, and the rest can only be declared to give up.
As for the warriors of Gao Xiuwei, they went to pursue.
The Iron Cavalry dares to gallop on the grassland, is it possible that there is no warrior of the same level to follow?
Therefore, in the end, the main reason for the retreat of the Iron Cavalry Army has not played a big role, and people have not come out of the door, which is a defense, and rushing up may not only have no effect, but also may be counterattacked.
After the withdrawal, they left behind one destroyed land after another on the grassland, so they were called demons among the grassland herders.
Even the Iron Cavalry can't do it, Yan Xuelan's troops are not sufficient, their cultivation is average, and there are not too many masters, what do you think? It's just nonsense!
Yan Zhaohui repeatedly warned his daughter not to run away, and he knew that according to her daughter's somewhat stubborn temper, it was estimated that the more she didn't let it, the more she wanted to do it.
So not only did he inform Jiang Wenhuan that he couldn't let Yan Xuelan run to the grassland, but he also sent a person, who was also a person who could control Yan Xuelan.
An old eunuch who has been in charge of taking care of Yan Xuelan in the palace since he was a child, Hong Zhenghai.
This person is Yan Xuelan's mother's concubine's cronies and eunuchs, and is her right-hand man, after Yan Xuelan's mother died, he was transferred to Yan Xuelan's side to take care of life and daily life until Yan Xuelan was able to leave the palace at the age of sixteen.
Yan Xuelan once wanted to invite Hong Zhenghai to go out of the palace with him to live in the eldest princess's mansion, but was refused, Hong Zhenghai didn't want to leave the palace, he still had to maintain the palace where Yan Xuelan's mother once lived, although few people have set foot in this place now, but he will clean it every day, as if someone is really a guest.
If it weren't for Yan Xuelan's death this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have left the palace easily, after all, in the palace, there is a palace in his heart that he belongs to, and he will not be moved by foreign objects easily.
If Yan Xuelan was not her mother's biological daughter, but an adoptive one, Hong Zhenghai would not care.
From childhood to adulthood, Yan Xuelan's diet and daily life have grown up under Hong Zhenghai's care, so Yan Xuelan is very close to Hong Zhenghai and regards him as her elder.
is also one of the few people who can persuade Yan Xuelan to live.
At the same time, Hong Zhenghai is also a martial artist with high cultivation, and the specific cultivation is Yan Xuelan can't see clearly, but she knows that many people in the palace have great respect for Hong Zhenghai and call him Gonggong Hong.
Although Hong Zhenghai is not one of the eunuchs of His Majesty Emperor Yan, Yan Xuelan once saw that her father's supervisor also respected Hong Zhenghai very much, and since then she has become more and more curious about Hong Zhenghai's identity, but he doesn't take the initiative to speak. Yan Xuelan was not suitable to ask.
And now this mysterious master, Hong Gong, is standing not far behind Yan Xuelan, guarding it.
The eyes have never left Yan Xuelan, and there is a rare trace of tenderness and nostalgia in her eyes.
Like, it's really too similar.
Hong Zhenghai muttered silently in his heart, sure enough, it was her biological daughter, almost carved out of a mold.
Hong Zhenghai hadn't been out of the palace for many years before, and the last time he saw Yan Xuelan was three or four years ago.
He didn't expect that Yan Xuelan had changed so much in the past three or four years, and she was becoming more and more similar to her mother, and her eyebrows and eyes were simply the same.
After watching it, it made people feel like she was alive.
"Grandpa Hong, what do you want? It's time for us to go. Yan Xuelan's voice suddenly appeared in Hong Zhenghai's ears, interrupting his memories.
"The old slave remembered some of the past just now, don't blame Your Highness, please let Your Highness go first, and the old slave will arrive later." Hong Zhenghai straightened his expression and followed Yan Xuelan away.
Left behind a few trembling men, including Chen Zheng, Shen Kuo, and Qin Qing. Gao Shun, Tan Daoji and others.
The object of their fear is not someone else but this old eunuch, ahhh It's my father-in-law.
This is all because they first discussed the issue of the steppe people going south this time in the council room, and then Hong Zhenghai suddenly appeared, they thought it was the attacker and did it without permission, and then they were directly suppressed on the spot.
And Hong Zhenghai had murderous intent in his eyes, if it wasn't for Yan Xuelan to stop him, it is estimated that these people would have been pinched to death by Gonggong Hong at that time.
They couldn't understand why Hong Zhenghai had such a strong killing intent because it was just a misunderstanding.
However, Yan Xuelan knows a little bit, she is not a simple Grandpa Hong, not only can't see through martial arts, but also martial arts are varied, the most interesting thing is that he knows a lot of Buddhist martial arts, but he is very murderous.
It's the kind of situation where he has a bad temper and a bad mood, and others may die if they look at him.
Especially this kind of person who shot at Hong Zhenghai at will, if he had beaten these people to death when he was young, it is estimated that there would not even be a whole corpse, and it would turn into meat sauce in minutes.
But Hong Zhenghai restrained the killing intent in his heart, and quickly changed from indifference to a kind old man, and smiled at Yan Xuelan.
And the few suppressed young men on the ground were a little miserable, with cold sweat on their bodies, almost scared to pee, and they were terrified in their hearts.
It felt like I had walked through the ghost door once.
Afterwards, Yan Xuelan asked Chen Zheng to apologize to Hong Zhenghai, and Hong Zhenghai accepted it with a smile on his face, and he couldn't tell that it was the kind of person who wanted to kill if he didn't agree with him.
Chen Zheng was afraid in their hearts but didn't dare to complain, this father-in-law didn't do anything just now, he just used his own momentum to suppress them, and his own strength was unimaginable.
