Chapter 558: The Great Prince of Dongying
Lin Kite has lost the mysterious person several times recently, no matter how she pays attention, that person will always disappear out of thin air after drawing the topographic map, the only thing that is certain is that the person came out of the palace, Lin Kite was puzzled, worried about the progress of the war, so he had to give up tracking for the time being.
When Lin Yuan got the news that Dongying Kingdom had withdrawn from the army, he wanted to go to the bottom of the valley to take a look, Lin Yuan was a little apprehensive, and always felt that how could a person disappear out of thin air. When she reached the valley, Lin Kite searched around, and now she finally understood why the mysterious man had disappeared out of thin air here.
It turned out that there was a tunnel in the hidden part of the valley, and sure enough, everything could be explained very well. Lin Kite walked into the tunnel and found traces of people living here all year round. A large dormitory, judging from the furnishings of the room, the person who lives here should be a woman.
Lin Kite looked around the room and found nothing useful, but in the corner of the room, he found a hairpin. Lin Yuan picked up the hairpin, kicked it into his pocket, and then left in a hurry.
"I think this is where the mysterious man is hiding." Lin Kite muttered to himself, intending to find a suitable opportunity for this person to appear on his own. Lin Yuan gathered all the people who remained in the palace, including some guards and palace maids and eunuchs.
Lin Yuan looked at the people in front of him and said, "I have found the mysterious person who stole the route of the retreat from southern Xinjiang this time. Lin Yuan carefully looked at the expressions of the people below, "And as far as I know, this person should have accomplices." ”
The people below looked at each other and talked about it for a while.
Lin Kite continued to speak, "Although we only caught one mysterious person. But as long as we find a way to torture him, we can always pry something out of his mouth. ”
A palace maid asked in a low voice, "Won't his accomplices come to kill us?" ”
"His accomplice should run for his life at this time, we don't have to worry, the room where the mysterious man is held is in the dark room to the west, you have to be careful to detain him, you must not let him escape, you know?"
Everyone nodded in agreement. Lin Yuan noticed that a little palace maid in the corner had a sad face.
In fact, of course, Lin Kite didn't catch any mysterious people, and the reason why he said this was purely to lure out the person under the valley. According to himself, the man must have gone to the hint room in the west to rescue his accomplices.
Lin Kite hid in the dark room and waited quietly for the fish to take the bait, and sure enough, in the middle of the night, someone picked the door lock. Lin Kite suddenly lit the candlestick. As soon as the man saw Lin Kite's face, he knew that all this was to lure himself out.
immediately started to fight with Lin Kite, that person's martial arts were invincible, and he was quickly controlled by Lin Kite.
Lin Kite called someone to tie up this person, "What? Don't you have anything to say? ”
The man suddenly laughed, "Sure enough, it's still you, I have nothing to say when I was caught by you." ”
Lin Yuan felt that this person's voice seemed to have been heard somewhere. When I stepped forward to check, sure enough, the mysterious person was wearing a human skin mask, and under the mask was the little girl who came to the door that day.
Lin Yuan was puzzled, "It's actually you, why did you steal the route of retreat?" Who are you? ”
The girl suddenly burst into tears, "Actually, I'm glad you caught me." I finally don't have to do things I don't want to do. Thank you for freeing me, you can kill me. ”
Lin Yuan hurriedly asked, "I won't kill you." If you are forced, I can save you, because I think you are also a good person. ”
The girl gave her a grateful look, "Can you really help me?" Do you mind if I say I like your husband? ”
Lin Yuan shook her head, "I did mind a little at the time, but later I found that you didn't like it in your eyes." I guess that's not true. ”
The girl began to tell her story. "I have lived on the border of southern Xinjiang since I was a child, where I am poor and miserable, and if we like the low-level people want to survive, we have to rely on the help of others, when the Dongying people came, they threatened our whole village to work for them, and my father also promised them, they saw that I was more clever, and kept letting me enter the palace to find an opportunity to steal information."
Lin Yuan frowned, "Then why did he save you last time?" ”
"It's those Dongying people who want to insult me, and that son can't bear to save me, but I don't dare to resist, and I continue to work for them. That's why I went to find that child. It's just to find a place of refuge in this troubled world. ”
The girl seemed to be very calm, but the tears in the corners of her eyes kept staying, Lin Yuan frowned, "I will help you, don't be sad, I don't blame you for this matter, because you are also forced to be helpless." ”
Lin Kite asked the girl to leave, but the girl insisted on not leaving, saying that she would stay and help them. Lin Kite did not refuse. It was night, Lin Kite sat on the roof, looking at the starry sky overhead, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
She thought she was a modern person and could make herself live. But then I found out what kind of things were going to happen in what kind of environment. Even if he doesn't belong here, he can't change anything, there are too many regrets to ask, not to say, and not to forget.
On the other side at the same time.
Zhao Yun and Jiu Gu were still glad that they had repelled Dongying with a stratagem this time, but they also understood that their troops were insufficient now, and if Dongying attacked again, they would be completely powerless.
Just as the two were discussing how to arrange the route, a subordinate hurriedly ran into the camp.
"Report ...... The Eastern Ying Kingdom is attacking again with a large army! ”
Jiu Gu stood up from his chair all of a sudden, "What did you say!" Here they go again? ”
The subordinate hurriedly replied, "They are less than thirty miles away from our camp, and now the situation is critical. Please also ask the emperor to order earlier. ”
Zhao Yun also began to get nervous, they really can't hold on much now, if this continues, I'm afraid that Southern Xinjiang will really die.
However, the two countries have already begun to fight, and there is blood and rain on the battlefield. The soldiers of southern Xinjiang all waved their swords desperately. If this battle is lost, they will have nothing. For a time, the people in the army were panicked.
When Lin Yuan heard the news, he hurried to the camp, and the soldiers in southern Xinjiang suffered many casualties.
The war was going on outside, and the wounded kept coming here. The military doctors were also overwhelmed, and Lin Yuan helped those military doctors to heal the soldiers' wounds. There were red blood stains everywhere, the smell of rot in the air, and the looseness of people's hearts.
"You bear with me, I'm going to pull the arrow out, it might hurt." Lin Kite said to the wounded soldier in front of him.
The soldier shook his head, "Niangniang, don't worry, this pain of a manly husband is nothing." ”
Lin Kite looked at the wounded soldiers all around, and couldn't help but feel sad, he lived before the 21st century, and had not really experienced the horror and pain on the battlefield, until he faced these wounded and roaring soldiers and saw the blood flowing on his hands. Sometimes it's not easy to be alive.
Just when Lin Kite was still emotional, a man in black in the corner sneaked into Lin Kite's tent, Lin Kite bandaged for a long time, and his tired waist couldn't stand up but insisted on bandaging the wounds of the soldiers.
When he returned to the tent, Lin Yuan hurried to the bed and lay down, saying in his mouth, "Whew, I'm tired to death." ”
It was at this time that the black man suddenly appeared. Lin Kite was knocked unconscious before he could resist.
At the same time, the war outside has gradually become polarized. The previous Dongying was like a bamboo, directly causing southern Xinjiang to retreat, and Jiugu and Zhao Yun supported it to the death, but at this time, Dongying retreated.
Those soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Jiu Gu also relieved his heart, but Zhao Yun frowned, "Fox, don't you think this thing is a bit weird?" ”
Jiugu was puzzled, "What?" ”
"They have a lot of strength now, and the battle plan is perfect, and it is only a matter of time before they capture us. But why did you give up such a great opportunity and quit halfway? Zhao Yun said as he suddenly remembered Lin Kite who was still in the camp, "Let's go back quickly, I'm worried about her." ”
Zhao Yun hurried back, he always felt that Lin Kite would be unsafe, and kept praying that he was too worried, but when he returned to the tent, he didn't find Lin Kite, Jiugu and Zhao Yun searched all over the camp and didn't see Lin Kite. When I asked the soldiers, they all said that they had bandaged the wounded and returned to the tent and had never been seen again.
"Who the hell is it?" Jiu Gu was very anxious. I owe too much to the two of them, and the guilt in my heart is beyond words, which I can't say.
Zhao Yun pondered, "I think it can only be the Dongying Kingdom, their troops can't bypass us and go directly to the palace, they can only send troops to lure out Lin Kite, but we can't be sure now whether Lin Kite is still in their battle camp, or was taken to other places." ”
Zhao Yun frowned, he was so worried that something would happen to Lin Kite, and he blamed himself, thinking that he could protect her, but in the end, it was often Lin Kite who endured so much.
Zhao Yun felt that the place in his heart hurt so much, it turned out that the person had already passed and became an indispensable part of his life. Zhao Yun planned to go to Dongying's camp to investigate the situation and rescue Lin Kite.
Dongying Camp.
I saw that Lin Kite was still fainting in a tent, and there was a man in a black robe standing in front of him, the man's black hair was like paint, and his brown eyes kept staring at Lin Kite in front of him. Lin Yuan woke up slowly and touched the back of his neck, which was still aching. At a glance, he saw the man standing in front of him.
"Who are you, and what did you bring me here for?" Lin Yuan sat up and asked, his eyes full of vigilance.
The man said lightly, "You don't have to be nervous, I won't kill you." I am Dong Linxuan, the eldest prince of Dongying. ”
"Are you from Dongying? What exactly do you want to do? ”
"This time, my father sent me to attack the southern frontier, and the southern frontier must be surrendered! Of course, I know that the current southern Xinjiang is not strong enough, and I can indeed attack it. But when the time comes, when the forces of the Central Plains turn around, we will already be seriously injured, and we will definitely not be able to hold on. ”
