Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Crisis Rises Again

"Newspaper—newspaper—"

The advancing Underworld Army was suddenly stopped by the soldiers who rushed in a hurry, only to hear the soldier gasp and say:

"No...... Oh no, the enemy ...... The enemy suddenly attacked our troops......"

Xie Lingxu was taken aback, thinking to himself what was the name of this sudden attack?

The king turned his horse's head and galloped forward. Looking at the back of the former, Xie Lingxu couldn't help but feel that the sudden changes in the battle were really easy to catch people off guard, and only people like Youwang who were not surprised and did not panic in the face of danger had the ability to lead the elite and outstanding underworld army, and he ...... Not even qualified to be a real fighter.

Seeing that there seemed to be another fierce battle in front of him, Xie Lingxu frowned, turned his head to look at the carriage where the emperor was, and thought to himself that it seemed that someone was determined to take the emperor's life this time......

"Kill ...... for me, leave no ...... for me"

"Brothers, give it to me, and I must not let the emperor escape—"

"Kill—"

The battle ahead became more and more intense, and the king of Youwang struggled to resist under the rapid attack of the enemy, and was instantly entangled and unable to pull away.

The number of enemy reinforcements is too large, and the oppressive numerical superiority makes the Underworld army particularly passive in the face of confrontation.

The current situation is extremely unfavorable, and if there are no reinforcements to reinforce us, our combat effectiveness will be weakened, and there will be no time to turn over......

Xie Lingxu felt a burst of worry, now that he was seriously injured, he was unable to fight on the front line, and this feeling of sitting in the rear waiting to die was even more disturbing......

The target of the enemy army is nothing more than the emperor's life, Xie Lingxu thought secretly for a moment, and still jumped into the emperor's carriage with a heart-

Looking at the people sleeping soundly in the special carriage, Xie Lingxu couldn't help but want to slap the emperor, damn the fight outside is in full swing, you still have peace of mind to sleep here-

Xie Lingxu just wanted to pull up the person in front of him at this time, and tell him that you don't know that all the bloody wind outside the carriage now, the killing and conquest are all for you, as the emperor, how can you stay out of the matter, and completely ignore the people who gave their lives for you-

Looking at the former's quiet side face, Xie Lingxu sighed helplessly. Luo Fan is not the emperor's material, it is impossible for him to think and do things like a king, the real king is either as scheming as the king of Shang, or as calm and introverted as Shen Su, or as talented as King You.

Xie Lingxu gently shook the emperor's shoulders:

"Your Majesty...... The Emperor ......"

The former opened his eyes slightly:

"What's wrong—"

Xie Lingxu exhaled:

"The enemy army has attacked us, and your majesty is in danger now."

The emperor's face finally showed a little panic:

"Attack? So ——, what now? ”

Xie Lingxu: "King You, they are fighting against the enemy, Your Majesty, you have to prepare to flee for your life at any time." The situation is really critical—"

Xie Lingxu's cold voice filled the small space, making people feel an indescribable oppression......

Pulling the emperor's cuffs, the two of them just got out of the carriage when they were stopped by an unknown minister in front of them.

"Your Majesty, please stay."

Only feeling that he didn't have the slightest impression of this plump and ruddy official, Xie Lingxu couldn't help but be suspicious......

Chu Xiu, who came with the former on the side, said: "Lingxu, this is Prime Minister Yuan, who was ordered to come to rescue the emperor." ”

Xie Lingxu raised his eyebrows, and saw the man in front of him called Prime Minister Yuan Cheng make a gesture towards the emperor and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister deserves death for being late in saving the driver!"

Seeing that he looked sincere and sincere, he looked like a child who was not deceived, and Xie Lingxu listened to him and then spoke:

"The enemy army is numerous, and now that the reinforcements of our army have arrived, please ask the emperor to move and escort the emperor back to the palace by the ministers."

Hearing the emperor's response without thinking, Xie Lingxu felt a little uneasy in his heart:

"Does King You know that you are going to send the emperor back to the palace? He agreed? ”

Prime Minister Yuan: "Now that the situation is urgent, King You is fighting fiercely with the enemy, and there is no time to report to King You right now." ”

"But ......"

Prime Minister Yuan: "Who is this girl?" Could it be that you still want to hinder the reinforcements to save the saint? ”

Xie Lingxu was stunned for a moment, his eyes were slightly lowered but he still said:

"Without King You's order, you can't take the emperor away at will."

The eyes of the predecessors gathered:

"Joke——, I'm a first-class official of the imperial court, isn't it as important as your woman's words?"

The emperor: "Ling, you told Youwang Zhen and Shen Su to return to the palace with Prime Minister Yuan Cheng first." ”

Prime Minister Yuan Cheng insisted on taking the emperor away, but it is not clear whether the former is black or white, and the latter has always looked like he has no head and no brains, and is at the mercy of others. Xie Lingxu couldn't help but feel speechless and helpless for a while, feeling that the emperor always hit someone else's knife with a tendon, and he broke his heart for him as if he was full......

"But—"

Xie Lingxu's brain hurt for a while, not to mention Prime Minister Yuan, it is still very difficult to say what Shen Su's mind is, how can the emperor be so careless?

It was only now that Xie Lingxu realized that he had always trusted the person the most...... It's actually the king of you.

The emperor: "Prime Minister Yuan, I will go with you." ”

Xie Lingxu: "Your Majesty, I'll go with you." ”

The emperor turned his eyes to look at the solemn woman in front of him, and seemed to be a little unexpected:

"Spirit, you don't have to follow me." Immediately, he smiled nonchalantly: "But Ling, if you really want to follow me, follow me!" ”

Groove ...... Who the wants to follow you!

Prime Minister Yuan looked disdainful, looked at Xie Lingxu with cold eyes, turned to the soldiers behind him and said:

"Escort the emperor back to the palace!"

Xie Lingxu grabbed Chu Xiu, who was about to go to fight against the enemy, and said in a low voice:

"Who is this Prime Minister Yuan?"

Seeing that the person in front of him looked worried, Chu Xiu patted the former on the shoulder:

"Lingxu, you are too careful, Prime Minister Yuan Cheng is the emperor's uncle, he has treated the emperor like his own son since he was a child, it is impossible to be a spy sent by the enemy."

Xie Lingxu: "Uncle? Pro-or cousin? If he is not a spy——, there is no guarantee that he will not take advantage of the chaos to seek power and usurp the throne......"

Chu Xiu scratched his head:

"No, I think Lingxu has been suspicious lately."

Xie Lingxu smiled helplessly, thinking that it wasn't the successive broken things around him that scared him.

"Perhaps...... It's true that I'm thinking too much. ”

Chu Xiu: "Prime Minister Yuan is a good and honest official, he has always been praised by the people, and King You also respects him very much. Prime Minister Yuan Cheng has brought reinforcements to the Underworld Army many times when it is in distress, and he is an indispensable backing for our military......"

Listening to Chu Xiu's crackling and praising Yuan Chengxiang's merits, Xie Lingxu waved his hand to stop him-

"Okay, I know, it's me who has the eyes to slander good people."

Xie Lingxu turned around and followed the person in front of him, turned around and instructed Chu Xiu:

"Tell King You that the emperor and I will go back to the palace with Prime Minister Yuan first."

The army led by Prime Minister Yuan Cheng surrounded the emperor's carriage, and Xie Lingxu looked at the cloudy sky in the distance through the curtains that floated in the wind, thinking about his thoughts.

Now that reinforcements are coming, the war in King You's place shouldn't be a problem, I hope ...... Let's hope there aren't any surprises.

"Huh......" Xie Lingxu sighed, thinking that he was really tired.

"What's wrong?" I thought that the emperor who was napping was already asleep, but I didn't expect him to speak suddenly, which really scared Lingxu.

Emperor: "Are you worried about King You?" ”

Xie Lingxu: "After all, the enemy's reinforcements are huge, and their strength cannot be underestimated, and the underworld army has suffered serious losses, so I am afraid it will be very difficult to deal with such an enemy army." ”

The emperor took a sip of tea from the teacup in front of him, thinking that the former had not actually answered his question.

Sleepy in the carriage, Xie Lingxu took a nap, and when he woke up, the sky gradually sank again......

I opened the curtain and looked at the surrounding scene, and I was frightened What kind of deep mountains and old forests are here?

The carriage stopped, and Prime Minister Yuan stepped into the threshold, listening to him say to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, the front is the camp where our army is stationed, and I ask the emperor to move to the courtiers."

The emperor answered, and left with the former, Xie Lingxu followed behind, and faintly felt that Shen Su, who was walking beside the emperor, looked a little strange.

Approaching the camp, Xie Lingxu looked at the surrounding scene, only to feel that the terrain of this place was a little strange, there was no hidden open area that was not at all like a suitable place for the army to camp, and the surrounding area was full of steep cliffs, and it was easy to be outflanked by the enemy. If they are attacked by arrows, the people in the middle will not be able to escape......

Could it be that there is some mystery in choosing this kind of place?

Prime Minister Yuan: "It's not early, the emperor should rest first." ”

Xie Lingxu looked at the man who turned around and was about to leave, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. Not caring about the former's unkind eyes, Xie Lingxu asked:

"How far is this place from the King of You?"

Prime Minister Yuan: "What are you asking for?" ”

Xie Lingxu raised his eyebrows: "The Underworld Army is fighting against the enemy, don't you contact the King of You?" Don't you go for reinforcements? ”

Seeing the former's gaze move:

"It's natural to send reinforcements, you don't have to worry about this matter yet!"

Prime Minister Yuan glanced at Lingxu coldly: "It's not your turn to bother a woman about political matters!" ”

Looking at the back of Prime Minister Yuan Cheng turning around and walking away, Xie Lingxu couldn't help but think: Sure enough, the people who are close to King You are all virtuous......

Walking towards the emperor, Xie Lingxu faintly felt that something was wrong, it seemed to be Prime Minister Yuan's words - political matters ......, why do you say that?

If Prime Minister Yuan really sent additional reinforcements to King You, then there should be a messenger to convey the battle situation......

Xie Lingxu suddenly felt a little urgent in his heart, turned around and trotted all the way to catch up with Yuan Chengxiang, who had already left far away, and on the way passed by a small eunuch with a fruit basket and a short stature, Xie Lingxu was hit hard by the former and almost fell to the ground, listening to him say sorry, he didn't care much, and then chased forward......

Running and running, Xie Lingxu slowed down...... No—no—no—how could the muscles of a thin and weak little eunuch just now be so strong......

Oops-

Xie Lingxu turned around, only to see that the person had indeed entered the tent where the emperor was located, and a strong uneasiness suddenly rose in Xie Lingxu's heart......
