"How long has it been?"

Ye Ying pinched the paper crane, looking a little irritable.

Gu Xin calculated, "It's been almost an hour." ”

Her tone was much more relaxed than Ye Ying's, but it still revealed her nervousness.

She slowly tightened her hand, her throat choked slightly, "Madam, you say, can they succeed?" ”

"I don't know."

Ye Ying pursed her lips and glanced in the direction of the imperial city.

The sky over there was a little gloomy, and her heart was falling.

But the news didn't come after all, that is, there was still hope.

After waiting like this for a long time, she finally heard a movement from the courtyard.

After glancing at Gu Xin, they immediately ran over there.

Seeing the person who came back, the solemn look on her face did not slow down by half a minute, especially when she saw the blood on Xiaoxue's body.

"Quick, close the door."

Ye Tingwa quickly shouted, and nodded his head at Ye Ying's gaze.

Ye Ying's eyebrows loosened slightly, but she still didn't dare to relax, "What is the emperor's reaction?" ”

"I'm angry, I ran back with her by myself."

Ye Tingwa gasped and said, "I don't know if he realized that we did it, but he will definitely be angry with our Ye family." ”

He carefully took out a tiger talisman from his arms, "You take it, go quickly, and leave the city immediately before he notices, he can't find the tiger talisman, and naturally he won't touch the Ye family." ”

Ye Ying took the tiger talisman with great care.

She didn't know if it was true or not, but just last night, she had figured it out, whether it was true or not, she could use it.

Gritting her teeth, her slightly trembling hand suddenly clenched the tiger talisman, and a determined light projected in her eyes, "I will join the general as soon as possible, father, you take care in the capital." ”

She glanced at Xiaoxue again, and there was a dark color in her eyes, "From now on, you will be the young lady of the Wanhu Hou Mansion." ”

Xiaoxue was overjoyed, and immediately went to see Ye Tingwa, and when she saw that he did not object, she felt her heart pounding.

The injuries on her body, at the moment, really don't seem to be nothing.

took a deep breath, and just as Ye Ying was about to turn around and leave, she saw the housekeeper hurrying over, and said with a panicked face: "Oh no, master, miss, there is news from the front line that something happened to the general." ”

Ye Ying paused and turned her head sharply.

She strode up to the butler and looked at him with an extremely cold look, "What do you mean something happened?" What's going on? ”

The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and said quickly: "According to the news, the general and Jin Shui were calculated by the other party and trapped in the valley, and their life and death are unknown. ”

Gold water?

No way, Jin Shui is here to help him.

Could it be that the emperor's soldiers have arrived?

But didn't he just send it out?

Ye Ying looked at the talisman in her hand, and only felt heavy.

It seems that the old emperor also kept a hand and did not tell Ye Tingwa the exact time, but he was afraid that on the day Qi Muyuan sent his troops, he had already sent that army.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Ying looked at Ye Tingwa and said, "Father, I have to leave now, and the matter in the capital is left to you." ”

After saying this, she turned around without hesitation, asked the butler to prepare the horse, simply packed a small package, and immediately crossed the horse out of the city.

Taking advantage of Nangong Ming's lack of reaction, she went out of the city smoothly.

And when Nangong Ming knew, there was no longer a tiger talisman in Ye Mansion.

Nangong Ming was furious, and coldly ordered: "Send someone to chase Ye Ying, you must stop her." ”

The man kneeling on the ground replied with a blank face, "If you resist, what should you do?" ”

Nangong Ming closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was only bloodthirsty and ruthlessness inside, "Kill." ”

Ye Ying didn't know that there was already someone chasing her behind her.

Because she was alone and a weak woman, she did not dare to stop or rest for half a minute on the road, and every time she arrived at a post station, she changed her horse and continued to hurry.

-

within the valley.

Qi Muyuan and hundreds of soldiers were trapped in it.

A young general slammed his fist against the wall and said indignantly: "I didn't expect to be calculated by my own people, it's really hateful." ”

Gu Lin leaned against the wall and looked at him lightly, "Don't do meaningless things, save your strength, I don't know if the people outside can rush in to save us." ”

The young general said, "After they drove us into this valley, they have been surrounding us outside, fighting against our army, but they will not kill us, military advisor, what do you think they have in mind?" ”

Gu Lin said coldly: "What else can you think, the general is poisoned and unconscious, and we can't go out for help, as long as they keep guarding it in the name of the enemy army and not the general, the general will only have a dead end." ”

Now the two groups of people outside are facing each other, but there is no real fight.

If Qi Muyuan was still awake, everything would be easy to say, he could have rushed out with these people, and then ordered the three armies, but he was poisoned and unconscious, although he was a military advisor, he was still young, and he couldn't command so many people at all.

Turning his head to look at Qi Muyuan, who was next to him with his eyes closed and his face pale, he sighed deeply and muttered, "General, when will you wake up?" ”

As long as Qi Muyuan opens his eyes, even if it is a little time, and hands over the talisman to him, then he can command the three armies.

If it weren't for the fact that he wasn't very familiar with the people here, he would have taken the talisman privately.

The soldiers in this valley have eaten very little in the past few days, and at this moment they are all in a trance, wilting.

I am afraid that when Qi Muyuan breathes, the people in this valley will also die.

Gu Lin looked at the young general and asked, "How much grain do we have?" ”

The man did a rough calculation, "If it is calculated according to the normal amount, it will only be enough to eat a meal and a half." ”

One and a half meals......

Gu Lin closed his eyes and slowly got up.

He looked at the soldiers present, and in a hoarse voice, asked, "Do you want to go out?" ”

Everyone looked at him, their eyes were heavy, there was no hope, they were just waiting for death now.

Gu Lin bit his lip and said to them: "It's not the last time yet, we can't give up, presumably the news that we are trapped has been passed back, and someone will definitely come to save us." ”

A general near him smiled bitterly: "But aren't the soldiers outside from the capital?" ”

"No, someone will come." Gu Lin said firmly, "Someone will come to save us, so I suggest that the rest of the food be left, and we will be hungry for a few days, and when the rescue comes, we will take it out and eat it again to fight well." ”

He said it with great determination, looking into the distance, as if he had seen something.

The young general looked at him stunned for a moment, and his eyes flickered, "Will anyone really come to save us?" ”

"Yes." Gu Lin nodded, and said firmly, "It will be." ”
