Chapter 170: Capture the thief and capture the king
was disgusted by Night Shadow in public, but Night White didn't react, but got a little closer again.
"Your Highness, is this a great thing? It's windy in the city, so you might as well rest inside. ”
Yebai was so happy that he almost danced on the spot, the master was so good, the confidence in his heart increased by five points, not to mention the 30,000 army pressing the border, and 100,000 was not a problem!
"Your Highness, naturally, it's windy here, you speak carefully and flash your tongue."
Night Shadow glanced at him, with some pride on his face to see his own children grow up, they arrived from the other party's scolding of the city, and watched the night white boy unhurriedly throughout the whole process, sure enough, he grew up in the northern army, which is solid enough!
"Hey, hey, I'm not worried......"
Yebai smiled and touched his nose, and found that Tsing Yi had already stood beside the Tianqing County Lord, and sighed silently.
It seems that he is still not so reliable, at the critical moment, Sister Tsing Yi only thinks about the county lord of Tianqing, and even he, a person with a big heart, can't help but feel a little surprised.
"Alright, let's all go inside, get ready for the night attack."
Xiao Chen seems to be used to them losing each other like this, and he hasn't gone out for a long time, and when he finally comes out, he is naturally in a good mood.
Nan Jinyu glanced at the Huainan army in the smoke and dust, and her eyes touched the miserable siege vehicles under the city, and her mood was a little complicated.
At first, when the army besieged the city, it was rushed to their lives, but the other party did not expect that they used a small strategy to successfully repel the advance force, and the camp was completely destroyed overnight, so that the people who were thrown to their grandmother's house could only retreat with their tails between their legs.
Now that the Huainan army is coming back again, it is naturally murderous and they will not die, just look at this carefully armed siege vehicle, the other party is determined to put them to death.
"Childe, it's windy outside,......" Tsing Yi reminded her softly that there were only the two of them left on the castle tower.
Nan Jinyu looked up, the sunset on the horizon had already set into the mountain stream, and only a golden afterglow remained, which looked a little unreal.
"Hmm."
The master and servant went down from the city tower to the second floor, and in the closed space, except for Xiao Chen, most of them were shadow guards she had never seen, and they were all nervous.
"Childe, shall we go in?"
Tsing Yi noticed Nan Jinyu's hesitation, so he stopped.
"Hmm."
Nan Jinyu nodded, walked into the room, and saw Xiao Chen's unfolded military topographic map and the grim-looking shadow guards around him, so he simply walked to the table in the corner and sat down, and drank tea in silence.
Night Shadow has been away for so long to move the rescue troops, but the other party has taken advantage of the natural geographical advantages of the Huainan Army to surround Luoxian County, and they are actually still out of disadvantage, no matter how powerful Xiao Chen's shadow guard is, if he really makes a move, it is inevitable that there will be casualties, and it is the people of Luoxian who will suffer.
"According to the subordinates, the Huainan Army has bad intentions to lead the war, and if it does not fight back with all its might, it will be looked down upon wherever it goes in the future."
"That being said, but now Luo County is still besieged, and if you can't stop the malicious fight in time, it will be the people who will lose."
"Isn't the Southwest Army already united with the Dongchuan New Army? If it really starts, the Huainan army is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, but Luoxian is only afraid that it will suffer. ”
"Why don't you abandon Luo County and make plans again? No matter how the Huainan Army is, it won't make a move against the people, right? ”
……
Everyone chatted and argued for a long time, but no one noticed that someone was drinking tea in the corner, and their brows became more and more wrinkled.
"Abandon the city now? Do you want the city guard of Luo County to sacrifice the sword for you? ”
Nan Jinyu finally couldn't help but speak, and her tone sounded strange and angry.
After all, she was just a small strategist, but she dared to be so arrogant on such an occasion, and the unsuspecting shadow guards all looked at her angrily, especially ...... One of the women was born with a romantic and heroic appearance, and at first glance she knew that she was the kind of chic child of the rivers and lakes.
"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, Luoxian is just a small city, and it is right to sacrifice the small self for the sake of righteousness, and their families will get a lot of resettlement fees for this."
The woman raised her eyebrows, her eyes fell on Tsing Yi, she was slightly stunned, and then turned away disdainfully.
His Royal Highness would actually send a shadow guard to protect a little male pet, which shows that this person is scheming, but whether it is a strategist or a male pet, it is not worth mentioning in front of the interests of the master, it is just grandstanding!
"Placement fees? Is it a lot of silver? ”
Nan Jinyu said calmly, her gaze stayed on the woman's disdainful face, and slightly hooked the corners of her lower lip.
She had seen Xiao Chen's shadow guard in Yanjing more than once, and the leaders of all the departments had also looked for a face, but there was no woman!
But the woman in front of her is different, her clothes are the same as those of the branch leaders, and since she just came in, she has been pointing fingers at others, I have to say that it is really a bit of an eyesore.
"A thousand taels of silver per household is enough for ordinary people to have no worries about food and clothing for several generations."
When the woman saw her so unseen, her tone naturally contained a little contempt.
The master never brought a male pet by his side, and it was originally just a rumor, but now he really brought a living person, and he was so short-sighted......
"Well, a thousand taels of silver per household, there are hundreds of guards in this Luo County, but tens of thousands of taels of silver are enough."
Nan Jinyu sneered, most of the shadow guards of the night generation were silent, it was not that they were not good at words, but they had already known Xiao Chen's plans, so there was no need to argue.
Only these branch leaders who want to show on the periphery are a little aggressive.
"Even if you still have some knowledge, the master is not short of silver, and this is also the best plan."
Seeing that she had softened, the smile on her face was a little proud.
She has been out for three years, and in the past three years, she has been thinking about returning to Yanjing and returning to her master, although there are some idle people around him now, but it doesn't matter, among the seventy-seven leaders of the shadow guards, she is the only one who is a woman, and she is the only one who is different......
"So your life is the same number?"
Nan Jinyu yawned and glanced at her nonchalantly.
The shadow guards who were still watching the excitement were in an uproar, after all, a male pet is just a man, and the fact that the master spoils him does not mean that he can bully people like this, plus the spirit pigeon is the only woman among them, and the popularity is naturally very good.
"What do you mean by that?"
The spirit pigeon's face was displeased, and his gaze stayed on the young man's somewhat dazzling face, but it was not as shy as a woman should be, but it looked stiff and arrogant.
"Literally. When the girl opened her mouth, it was a matter of dozens of lives, dozens of households and 10,000 taels of silver...... That's it, I'm really curious, is your life worth more than them? ”
Nan Jinyu stood up, walked in front of the other party's overly self-righteous tall figure, and actually pressed half of the opponent's head steadily, but the figure looked a little thinner, but it looked like a very weak male pet.
"It's not something you can ask!"
Lingge's face was blackened directly, his eyes stayed on Tsing Yi, and he said unhappily: "How did you teach such an unruly person?" How can such a person serve His Highness's daily life well? ”
Tsing Yi blinked speechlessly, revealing a helpless smile: "Lingge Hall Master, subordinates have no right to criticize the child." ”
"Humph! When I was in the Shadow Guard Camp, I thought you couldn't become a climate, but now it's really like this, you can only be a maid by this kind of person? I'm sorry for you! ”
In addition to the provocation of the spirit pigeon, he did not forget to suppress the identity of Tsing Yi, after all, there are few women in the shadow guard camp, and there are even fewer who can finally learn to become a shadow, and serve by the side of a male pet, which shows how good her academic skills are.
"Spirit Pigeon Hall Master, I advise you to be cautious in your words and deeds."
Tsing Yi raised his eyebrows, and his flat face was obviously a little ugly.
Isn't this kind of malicious and provocative thing only done by the ladies who compete for favor in Yanjing? Lingge, as the branch master, is so ...... Sure enough, the master is still charming, and he accidentally provoked others!
The shadow guards of the night generation have numb scalps, what are the pigeons crazy at this time? Is she blind so she can't see the eyes of her master looking at the county lord? actually provoked the county lord like this, it was really a god who couldn't save her!
"Hey, this eldest sister, you speak so ugly, you come up and engage in life attacks, do you have bad breath for 10,000 years or take the route set up by brain-dead people? The little cutie in Tsing Yi may not be able to beat you, but don't you feel ashamed to bully your juniors like this? ”
Nan Jinyu is straightforward, even a fool can see that this woman is hostile to her, the reason for this is naturally self-evident, but the matter they are discussing is very important, not when children love to fight for men!
"Poof!"
Yebai didn't hold back, he laughed directly, originally he couldn't get used to seeing the spirit pigeon bullying his little cutie in Tsing Yi, and he didn't know his parents who were scolded at this time, not to mention how happy he was in his heart!
"Ahem!"
Night Charm held back a smile, and the dowry cough resolved the embarrassment, and turned her head to the side by the way.
Only the night shadow looked at the spirit pigeon expressionlessly, thinking that this girl was really crazy, and she was transferred out of Yanjing a few years ago because she wanted to be wrong with her master, why is she still obsessed with it now?
"Who's your name, big sister! Yes? You're just a nameless male pet, and you dare to be so arrogant, don't think you can do whatever you want just by being favored, you ......"
Lingge was so angry that she wanted to roll her eyes directly, she couldn't care about the self-respecting lady's image, she strode forward and pointed at Nan Jin and yelled, which was the posture of a shrew in the market quarreling.
Before she could say anything more unbearable, Xiao Chen had already interrupted her coldly and walked to Nan Jinyu's side: "She can do whatever she wants, Lingge, you are excessive." ”
"Your Highness, Your Highness...... The spirit pigeon is for your sake, the spirit pigeon can't get used to her...... "I want to read it."
"Enough! Xiao Yu is right, the number of guards in Luoxian County is not large, if they abandon the city, they will become victims, human life is not child's play, not something that can be measured by silver, and they will not retreat. ”
Xiao Chen said with a cold face, his gaze stayed on Nan Jinyu's somewhat dark face, pulled her to his side, and no matter what everyone's expressions were, he imprisoned people by his side.
"But in this way, Your Highness will be very dangerous......"
"Is it safe to escape? No matter how bad the Huainan army is, it is 30,000 people who are overwhelmed, and how many people have to be sacrificed in exchange for stability, your Royal Highness disdains. ”
Nan Jinyu glanced at her, this woman is afraid that she is carried away by love, so that her brain is not normal, right?
Being able to achieve the position of the branch hall master shows that her business ability must be outstanding, but what is going on with this brainless posture? She really deserves to be a little disgusted!
"Everyone is acting according to the original plan, tonight's night attack needs some gimmicks to drag the other party's attention, since the big fish has appeared, let's catch it directly."
Xiao Chen curled the corners of his lower lip appreciatively, as if showing off how smart the person in front of him was.
"Capture the king?"
The shadow guards exploded in an instant, it had been a long time since they had returned from the north, and they had not experienced an exciting battle for a long time, and the thought of going to the enemy camp to capture the king almost jumped up with excitement.
"Yes, defending the city is just a cover, and the quickest solution is to capture the coward hiding behind it and put an end to this pointless fight."
Nightshade explained, handing out the plan she had prepared the morning.
If he hadn't come back late, he wouldn't have needed such a dangerous plan, but now it's too late to say anything, the master made the right decision, and the only way to avoid the greatest damage is this!
"Subordinates take orders!"
Everyone replied in unison, and many people had forgotten Nan Jinyu, the arrogant male pet, only the spirit pigeon standing in the crowd with red eyes, and her resentful gaze never left her figure.
It was night, and the moon was hanging high.
Nan Jinyu changed into night clothes and was about to go out, but found that the person who was flipping through the book outside happened to raise his eyes and looked at her calmly.
"Where are you going?"
Yubai's knuckles slammed on the table, as if to examine what kind of way she was doing.
"Huh! Get out! Your Highness doesn't go out so late? ”
Nan Jinyu said with a smile, his eyes stayed on the book that he hadn't turned the pages at all, and he was even more sure of the thoughts in his heart.
This guy is waiting for her to fall asleep! What happens after falling asleep? Is he going to go out by himself and not take her with him?
It's a beautiful idea!
“……”
Xiao Chen pursed his lips, glanced at the quiet direction of the West City Gate, and couldn't help but think: "The night attack is not a joke, it is very dangerous outside." ”
"Your Highness is right, but it's dangerous for me to stay here! Since the enemy intends to attack at night, he will definitely put his forces on the night attack, and the enemy camp is the safest place! ”
Nan Jinyu retorted with a smile, if this demon made up her mind not to take her, she would definitely have to stay aggrieved, but then she couldn't let go of her heart and didn't say anything, it was really not safe at all, okay?
"You ......"
Xiao Chen pursed her lips, she had guessed what she was going to do early in the morning, and it was unintentional to say more at this time, but it was too dangerous to take her, and she couldn't help but be entangled in her heart.
"I'll follow you! I promise not to mess with you! Oh, you're going to take me with you...... Good no good? ”
Nan Jinyu smiled well-behaved and cute, hugged his arm and shook it.
It stands to reason that her kung fu is definitely above that spirit pigeon, but she has too little actual combat experience, and she will inevitably suffer, so although she is nervous to go out, it won't be a drag!
"Ahem! Master, as you expected, the East City Gate was attacked and a signal was sent, did you set off? ”
Night Shadow stood outside the door, looking at the silent Night Charm with an embarrassed expression, as long as he dared to speak.
In the morning, Night Charm took him back to the room and left, not even giving him half a look, and when he came out of the shower and changed his clothes, he saw Night Charm and Mu Bai talking and laughing, and they were a little different from ordinary people......
"Let's go!"
Xiao Chen answered, stretched out his hand to take Nan Jinyu into his arms, and flew downstairs.
As soon as he left the post station, he heard a loud noise from the east, Nan Jinyu turned around, caught a glimpse of the skyrocketing fire, and his heart trembled.
"Skyfire Bomb."
"Well, there are few people in Luo County, and it is more effective to use heavenly fire bombs to deter the other party than to kill people." Xiao Chen explained, feeling that there was no need to whitewash the peace.
Nan Jinyu was silent, and it was him who was talking about the rainy day, but she still couldn't calm down when she really encountered the war.
The group changed carriages and went out of the city and quietly entered the woods outside the city.
Walking along the path by the Huai River, I soon found the enemy camp stationed, and the gorgeous huge tent in the middle was very eye-catching.
"That's it......"
Nan Jinyu was a little surprised, after all, she didn't expect the mastermind behind the scenes to be so arrogant, what kind of person could make Xiao Chen lay out for so long, and even risk his life?
"Good eyesight."
Nightshade praised, but turned his head to see the Nightshade glancing at him sewitchingly, as if to say you idiot again, but without waiting for him to speak, the other party turned his eyes away and looked ahead lightly.
"Night Charm invites me to explore the way, please ask Your Highness for permission."
"Exactly."
Xu couldn't stand the night shadow's eyes that were too full of meaning, and the night ghost slipped away as soon as he turned around.
"How are we going to get it?"
Nan Jinyu pursed her lips, she had seen Xiao Chen's demonic ability, but the person who needed him to go out in person would naturally not be a good stubble, and besides, his skills at the beginning of his serious illness had not fully recovered, and this trip might not be so smooth.
"Does Childe fight......
Nightshade rubbed her eyebrows, for fear that this person would accidentally hurt them, after all, she used poison, and those who heard about it would die.
"Hmm!"
Nan Jinyu nodded seriously and put her hand on the sword at her waist.
Xiao Chen sighed, quietly pulled her to his side, and said, "You don't need to make a move, just look at it, you don't need to be so nervous about catching a mouse." ”
"Oh......"
Nan Jinyu nodded, feeling a little lost in her heart.
So, is the "king" of this enemy camp just a showmanship? She happily followed!
After a while, the night ghost who was investigating returned, and the guards patrolling nearby were also solved by him, as if they were in a no-man's land.
"Dead?"
"Can't! It's just a fainting. ”
Night Shadow asked knowingly, and Night Charm answered extremely perfunctory, not bothering to give him half a look.
"Where are the people?"
Xiao Chen held Nan Jinyu's hand, as if he was worried that she was nervous or scared.
"Back to the master, people are indeed in the main account, but things are not easy to handle......
Night Charm pursed her lips, pointed to the gorgeous main tent that was bright and bright, and said, "The state capitals and county orders of the Huainan Army are also in it!" ”
"Oh?" Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows, and a sneer appeared on Yubai's face, "Such a coincidence!" ”
"What to do? So many people ......"
Nan Jinyu was a little worried, after all, there were only four of them, no matter how they could fight, they couldn't capture the coach without moving, right?
"What to do, let's go."
Xiao Chen smiled, took her hand and slowly came out of the darkness, and walked towards the bright and gorgeous main tent.
