Chapter 425: Assassination
King Xiyi is angry and angry, his brain is still very sober, after Mu Beituo dialed it a little, he became more and more sober, and now if the Yan army pursues and kills him, the Xiyi army will definitely be unable to parry, and there is only a dead end.
"Then, in your opinion, how should our army respond?"
"I can only rest the army first and boost morale, and nothing else can be done." Mu Beituo told the truth, in this battle, the Xiyi army was scared by the Yan army, the morale of the army was low, and many people had no intention of fighting again, just wanted to go home, so at present, the most important thing is to stabilize the morale of the army.
"Isn't that just resignation? What should I do if Yan Jun calls? ā
Mu Beituo lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then replied: "If the king wants to ensure that the remaining forces of Xiyi are not damaged in the slightest, there is also a way. ā
"Tell me quickly?"
King Xiyi's eyes lit up suddenly, but the answer he heard next was: "Withdraw the troops and return to Xiyi." ā
As soon as the troops came, it was the first time to lose a battle, or the most ruthless defeat in his life, where was the king of Xiyi willing to return to Xiyi so disgraced at this time? In any case, we must avenge this revenge.
"It is impossible to return to Xiyi, how to face the people of Xiyi when you go back after losing the battle? This king can't afford to lose this face! ā
Mu Beituo smiled slightly, and said: "The king doesn't have to worry too much, in my opinion, the possibility of the Yan army rushing over is very small, after all, outside Xilin Pass is Xiyi's territory, the Yan army is not familiar with it, and it is extremely dangerous to chase it out, Mu Liancheng will not take this risk easily." ā
"That's what you said before, but what about the result?" King Xiyi snorted coldly, and the fire that had finally been extinguished was surging up again.
Mu Beituo said: "I just do my best to do things in the next, I am a human being, not an immortal, I can pinch and calculate, not to mention that Mu Liancheng and his people are already scheming, and there are also people who can't guess him when they can't guess him. ā
He regarded death as home, and King Xiyi didn't want to attack again for a while, so he only waved his hand irritably and said, "Okay, you can retreat first." ā
"Yes, retire next." Mu Beituo walked out of the military tent neatly, looking at the dazzling sunlight in the sky, only then did he realize that his back was already wet with sweat, he was actually not sure whether the king of Xiyi would kill him, after all, the 80,000 army died under his mistake, and anyone who changed would have the heart to kill him to vent his anger.
This time, he lost, completely lost, but this defeat did not break him, and one day, he will give a beautiful counterattack.
After winning the battle and rewarding the three armies, Mu Liancheng explained the affairs of the army, and finally found time to come to Cui County and reunite with Feng Qingmad for a day.
He set off in the middle of the night, and it was dawn in the morning, Feng Qingfang was still asleep, and he didn't want to wake her up, so he freshened up first, and then tiptoed into the room and sat at the table to drink tea.
Feng Qingyan has not been in good spirits recently, she has slept very deeply, and there is a slight noise in the room, which can't wake her up at all, until the sun climbs to the top of the mountain, and the bright sunlight shines through the window lattice, and she wakes up naturally.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a blue silhouette, and I thought I was dazzled, so I rubbed my eyes vigorously, and when I saw that the figure was still there, I was convinced.
"Mu Liancheng? Why did you come here all of a sudden? ā
"Doesn't you seem to want to see me?" Mu Liancheng put down the teacup, turned his head and looked over with a smile, "I was so sad that I came to see you in the middle of the night, but I didn't expect it to be unpopular." ā
Feng Qingfang hurriedly lifted the quilt and got out of bed, forgot to put on shoes and socks, rushed over, hugged Mu Liancheng's neck from behind, pressed his cheek to the side of his face affectionately, and said with a smile: "Who said I don't welcome you anymore?" I was too excited to react. ā
Mu Liancheng found her barefoot and ran over, and hurriedly broke her over and hugged her in his arms, and let her sit on her lap, "It's cold on the ground." ā
Looking at it closely, Feng Qingyan clearly saw his two big dark circles, and the thick tiredness between his eyebrows and eyes, and he suddenly felt a pain.
"You haven't rested much in this time, have you? Look, what is this haggard into? ā
Mu Liancheng turned his face slightly, gently rubbed her soft palm, and suddenly felt that all the hard work had gradually dissipated.
"I'm fine, now that Xilin Pass has been recovered, the Xiyi army has also been hit hard, and there will be no more attacks in a short time, I can rest for a few days."
What he said about resting for a few days means that he doesn't need to dispatch troops, he doesn't have to worry about the enemy attacking, he just worries about arming defenses every day, and he can't stay in Cui County for more, and he has to rush back tonight.
"Then go get some sleep." Feng Qing struggled to come down, but Mu Liancheng was unwilling to let go, and put his chin to her neck.
"Don't move, just let me lean on for a while."
Feng Qing hugged him tightly, and he really didn't move.
Mu Liancheng's breathing was even and long, and the warm breath sprayed out slowly and rhythmically, making Feng's side neck crispy and itchy, which was a little unbearable.
However, it didn't take long for Mu Liancheng to open his eyes, raise his head, and say with a smile: "Hurry up and wash up, after breakfast, let's go out on the street." ā
"Aren't you resting?" Feng frowned slightly, and his face was worried.
"No, I'm not very tired." Mu Liancheng said that he carried Feng Qingfang back to the bed, and intimately helped her put on her coat.
It's not that he doesn't want to sleep, it's just that he finally has time to come over to accompany Feng Qingfang, and he doesn't want to waste all his time sleeping.
The two had breakfast together, and then walked out of the post house side by side.
Yunzhou is not like the capital, there are not many people, there are not many people on the street when you don't rush to the market, there are no stalls on the street, only the shops are open, and you can't help but feel a little deserted when you walk in it.
After walking around, the two walked into a teahouse and sat for a while, seeing that the sky was gradually getting gloomy, as if it was going to rain, and they planned to go back to the inn.
They had come out on foot, and they had not gone far, and at most they could go back with a pillar of incense, so they were not in a hurry, and continued to walk slowly, as they had come.
As they walked, the two suddenly heard a child's cry, and looked for a voice, only to see a person on the side of the road in front of them, and the child was sitting on the side crying.
"The man seems to have fainted, can he go over and have a look?" Feng Qingfang saw that the child was crying so pitifully, and he couldn't bear it.
Mu Liancheng nodded, and without thinking too much, he strode forward.
When he got closer, he saw that it was an old man with gray hair who had fallen to the ground.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Get up, woo woo woo ......" the child cried so much that his voice was hoarse.
Feng squatted down and comforted softly: "Don't cry, little friend, let's help you take grandpa to see the doctor, okay?" ā
"Really?" The little boy raised his head and looked at her with a pair of teary eyes, twitching, and his little shoulders shook and shook, which was very cute.
"Of course it's true." Feng took out a handkerchief frantically, wiped the child's tears, and then looked at Mu Liancheng, "Anyway, there's nothing urgent to do, just do a good deed, right?" ā
Mu Liancheng looked down at the old man who fell to the ground, and felt that something was wrong, but what was wrong, and he couldn't say it, so he hesitated for a moment, but decided to help.
So, he walked over and prepared to carry the old man and take him to a nearby medical center.
The old man looked thin and thin, but his body was not light, Mu Liancheng half-picked him up with some difficulty, and suddenly, the other party's eyes suddenly opened, a cold light flashed, and the snowy dagger flew out of his sleeve and rushed straight to Mu Liancheng's chest.
Mu Liancheng quickly sensed the danger, but because the two were too close, they couldn't dodge at all, and the cold knife pierced into the flesh like this.
Instinctively, he stepped back, clasping his opponent's wrist with one hand and attacking with the other, slapping him in the chest and sending him backwards.
This person is vigorous and strong, obviously not an old man in a sixtieth year, he is in disguise, Mu Liancheng covered his chest, which has been wet with blood, and the whole person can't lift a little strength, so he can only collapse to the ground, and his face is pale after only a while.
After the other party stabilized his figure, he continued to pounce with the knife again, seeing that the blade was getting closer and closer, Mu Liancheng was powerless to dodge, and a trace of despair poured into his heart.
At this moment, the "old man in the sixtieth armor" suddenly screamed and fell to the ground with a bang, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.
It turned out that the short knife in Feng Qingfang's hand stabbed two holes in his back.
These two stabs were extremely accurate, and the person was killed almost instantly, Feng Qingyan was probably the first time to kill, and he was frightened, and he was stunned for a while, as if he had lost his soul.
It wasn't until he heard Mu Liancheng's muffled snort that he suddenly came back to his senses and ran over to check on his injuries.
"Mu Liancheng, how are you?" Half of his robe was covered in blood, and the smell of blood filled the air, making Feng Qingfang almost suffocate and faint.
But she can't fall down at this time, Mu Liancheng is still dying.
"Don't be frivolous...... Don't worry, IāI'm fine......" He comforted her, but his voice was trembling, and his anger was like a gossamer, indicating that something was wrong with him.
"Don't talk, I'll take you to the doctor." Feng Qingfang couldn't care much, and hurriedly helped him up.
The kid who cooperated with the acting has long since run away.
When they came out, they didn't expect this to happen, the two of them traveled alone, and they didn't bring their entourage, and now Mu Liancheng was seriously injured, and Feng Qingfang could only hold him alone.
Fortunately, there was a medical center not far away, and Mu Liancheng gritted his teeth to hold on, and he didn't faint until he walked into the medical hall.
"Doctor, how is he?"
The doctor gave Mu Liancheng medicine to stop the bleeding, and after bandaging the wound, Feng Qing rushed over and asked eagerly, almost pulling someone's collar.
"For the time being, his life is saved, but the wound is very deep, he has lost too much blood, I'm afraid he won't wake up for a while, he has to take care of it, and he can't be sloppy at all, whether he can survive in the end, it's hard to say, I have to wait until he wakes up to see the situation."
Hearing this, Feng Qingfang only felt that the sky was spinning, his eyes were black, and he was almost unsteady on his feet.
