Chapter 238: Night Meeting
Gan Cheng smiled and said, "Your Highness is really filial to the Queen Mother." ”
Yin Xuan thought to himself, is it filial? Sort of, he just didn't want to disturb her sleep, so she didn't sleep well after marching all the way, and he didn't know if she slept peacefully tonight, but whether she slept peacefully or not, he didn't want to disturb her.
Besides, even if she didn't sleep, she would be worried.
And he really didn't want her to worry about it.
It is better to wait for the dust to settle during the day and bring her good news.
Of course, along the way, the invincible soldiers of Da Yin have been invincible, and every time is good news, but this time is different, this time he will definitely get Qu Shang's action route from Huatu's mouth, and go all out to arrest this person.
Yin Xuan didn't respond to Gan Cheng's words, after drinking a cup of tea, he got up to get a pen and paper, wrote a reply, agreed with the words of surrender written in Huatu's letter, and attached the place and time of the evening appointment, the place was in Jiaolin Luting, and the time was quiet.
After writing, he put down his pen, dried the ink with internal force, and asked Gancheng to hand it over to the person sent by Huatu to deliver the letter, and let the messenger take it back to his monarch to see.
After the man left, Gan Cheng came in again, but when he saw Yin Xuan walking out, he followed him out.
After walking out of the tent, Gan Cheng asked Yin Xuan, "Where is Your Highness?" ”
Yin Xuan said: "Go find Feng Chang." ”
Gan Cheng sighed and followed.
Feng Chang had also fallen asleep, was woken up by Yin Xuan, had to get up again, just lit a candle and sat firmly, and didn't ask him what he was doing here without sleeping in the middle of the night, is there a situation on the enemy's side? As a result, a piece of letter paper was handed in front of him.
Feng Chang looked at the letter paper, and raised his eyes to look at Yin Xuan after a long time.
Yin Xuan said: "Huatu was sent by someone, you can take a look." ”
Feng Chang stretched out his hand to pick it up and asked, "What is it?" ”
Yin Xuan hooked his lips, and said in a tone that was not shallow or light: "Surrender to the book." ”
Feng Chang was stunned when he heard the words 'Toucheng Shu', then laughed again, unfolded the letter paper, and looked at the words on it one by one.
After reading it, he raised his eyebrows and said, "It's really a letter of sincerity." ”
Yin Xuan said: "Of course, I can still joke with you." ”
Feng Chang said: "In the middle of the night, you must not be in the mood to make this joke with me, I just think it's strange, it's only been a day of fighting, judging from today's battle, the combat power of this northern land is not weak, how can you surrender." ”
Yin Xuan said: "It's not the entire northern land, it's just the northern kingdom of Suijin." ”
Feng Chang said: "That's even more strange, the northern country of Suijin is the first country in the entire northern region, and other small countries have not yet surrendered, he is good, take the lead to be a bad pacesetter first, you said that if Qu Shang knows, he must not die?" Oh, the letter also said that as the sincerity of Toucheng, Huatu will present the whereabouts of Qu Shang, which is really interesting, retreat before fighting, surrender before defeat, unlike what a powerful country does. ”
After a pause, he touched his chin and said: "It's probably a trick to invite you into the urn, to coax you out, and then to encircle and suppress, it is written in the letter, both sides do not bring troops, and negotiate peacefully, but in fact, isn't it aimed at your Son of Heaven Sword?" The last time Qu Shang exposed his purpose obviously, he wanted to get the sword of the Son of Heaven, and he also wanted to kill you and the Queen Mother. ”
Yin Xuan lifted his lips lightly and sneered: "Indeed, his purpose is obvious, and Huatu's intentions are quite obvious, but I also know my intentions." ”
Feng Chang looked at him: "Do you want to know Qu Shang's whereabouts?" ”
Yin Xuan said: "Yes." ”
Feng Chang said: "So you have agreed to meet Huatu at night?" ”
Yin Xuan said, "Hmm. ”
Feng Chang glared at him twice, got up and went to call someone, and let people call Qi Yu.
After Qi Lu came, Feng Chang showed the letter to Qi Yu, and after Qi Lu finished reading it, without waiting for him to ask anything, Feng Chang ordered: "Go and select a thousand soldiers, and they must be good at hiding and ambushing." ”
Qi Yu had already read the letter, although he didn't understand what was happening, but according to the content of the letter, and according to the orders of the general L army, he almost guessed seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and knew that there would be an ambush battle at night, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment, handed the letter back to Feng Chang, and immediately went down to pick people.
Because the time was relatively short, Yin Xuan also sent Gan Cheng to help.
After Gan Cheng and Qi Yu left, Feng Chang asked Yin Xuan: "Did you send someone to tell the Queen Mother about this?" ”
Yin Xuan said: "No." ”
Feng Chang said: "If you don't pass the word, what if the Queen Mother is to blame?" ”
Yin Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "If we get the whereabouts of Qu Shang, the Queen Mother will not blame, but if we don't get the whereabouts of Qu Shang and lose our troops, then we will definitely be blamed by the Queen Mother, so in order not to let the Queen Mother blame, you and I can't return in vain." ”
Feng Chang rubbed his brows and sighed lightly: "You, this is forcing me to stick a knife in your ribs." ”
Yin Xuan smiled: "You don't need to stick a knife in your ribs, just block the knife behind your back." ”
Feng Chang choked.
Yin Xuan said: "Our side is ambushed and deployed, and Huatu will definitely be ambushed and deployed, not only do you have to protect my back, but you also have to quietly annihilate all the ambush soldiers on their side, so your task is very heavy, I am simple, I am only responsible for negotiations." ”
Feng Chang said: "If you can't find out the whereabouts of Qu Shang, let me be blamed by the Queen Mother, and I will destroy you." ”
This time, Yin Xuan choked.
Yin Xuan stroked his forehead speechlessly, and said to him, "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to get Qu Shang's whereabouts." ”
Feng Chang said: "I believe in you, but I'm still a little worried, anyway, you just have to be careful in everything." ”
Yin Xuan snorted, nodded, and waited for Qi Yu and Gan Cheng to select a thousand soldiers, and Huatu on the other side had also received Yin Xuan's reply.
Huatu read the letter and passed it to Wang Qizhi.
After reading it, Wang Qizhi passed the letter to the monarchs of other small countries.
Because Huatu and Wang Qizhi had to come forward to see Yin Xuan, and there were many ministers and generals in the northern kingdom of Suijin, but Huatu didn't bring many people when he came out to fight, because he had to guard against a sneak attack from behind, so there were still a few generals guarding the country.
Huatu only surrendered in the name of the northern kingdom of Suijin, even if he was ambushed, he only used people from the northern kingdom of Suijin, but after he and Wang Qizhi went to meet Yin Xuan, the soldiers in ambush had no one to command, so after the monarchs of several small countries unanimously discussed, the monarchs of the Weijin country volunteered to serve as the commander of this ambush.
After discussing the combat methods, Huatu took Wang Qizhi and two personal guards and rode to Jiaolin Luting.
Yin Xuan also took Gan Cheng and two soldiers and rode to Jiaolin Luting.
It is said that it is a peaceful surrender, but both sides know what kind of meeting this is, you want to catch my turtle in the urn, I also want to catch your turtle in the urn, the role of the ambush is not to tear up, but to ensure that you can retreat with your whole body.
But no matter how the ambush is, on the surface, it will be treated as if there is no such thing.
Therefore, after Yin Xuan left with his troops for a long time, Feng Chang's side acted secretly, and the ambush on Huatu's side did not dare to show up, and they all lurked around silently, just waiting for the other party to make a move, and then they pouted their backs.
Yin Xuan and Hua Tu arrived at Jiaolin Luting almost at the same time.
In the dead of night, the Jiaolin Deer Pavilion is very quiet, and the moonlight shines on the sky above the woods, showing a little cold.
Jiaolin Luting as the name suggests is Jiaomu Forest, Luhua Pavilion, is a very desolate place, so there are no villagers living in the mountains.
One side dismounts on the south side of the Luhua Pavilion, and the other side dismounts on the north side of the Luhua Pavilion.
After the two parties got off the horse, Yin Xuan took the lead in walking in front and entered the pavilion, Huatu took the lead in walking in front and entered the pavilion, Gan Cheng followed Yin Xuan into the pavilion, Wang Qizhi followed Huatu into the pavilion together, and the other two guards on each side guarded outside the pavilion and were on guard.
The pavilion was empty, and there was no place to sit, so all four of them stood.
Yin Xuan went straight to the point, and said to Huatu: "Tell me your sincerity." ”
Hua Tu's eyes lowered, and he glanced at the sword of the Son of Heaven pinned to his waist, thinking about how to get the sword and retreat with his whole body.
Of course, Huatu also knew that Yin Xuan would not really come empty-handed, without a single soldier, on the surface, he really didn't bring it, but he didn't know how many soldiers were ambushed behind his back.
So he can't take any chances.
Hua Tu smiled and said, "Qu Shang is already on his way to the Northland. ”
Yin Xuan sneered: "Don't fool me, there are many roads to the Northland, what I want is a specific route, one city and one pool, not bad at all." ”
Huatu pondered for a while, and said with some embarrassment: "Although we small countries obey the dispatch of Qu Shang, and will also contact him by letter, knowing that he is rushing to the north, but after all, we are only in a cooperative relationship with him, and he will not tell us his whereabouts one by one, I know the approximate route, but you have to ask for a specific city and a pool, I really don't know." ”
Yin Xuan narrowed his eyes, raised his right wrist, held it on the sword of the Son of Heaven, and said lukewarmly: "So you tricked me in order to lure me out?" ”
When Yin Xuan put his hand on the sword of the Son of Heaven, Gan Cheng also raised his hand to clasp the sword in his waist, and the two soldiers standing outside the pavilion also held the sword.
Wang Qizhi also followed and held his sword.
Although Hua Tu still stood there and did not move, he did not reach out to hold his sword, but even so, the small Luhua Pavilion seemed to be in a saber rattling all of a sudden.
Huatu hurriedly said: "I don't dare to deceive you, it's not what you think, but the truth is like this, I'm really here to surrender." ”
Yin Xuan immediately drew his sword, and pointed the tip of the sword at him: "I only need the trace of Qu Shang, since you are here, then you should also know, if you can't say it clearly, don't want to bring back your tongue and your head." ”
Hua Tu smiled and stretched out his hand to remove the tip of the sword that Yin Xuan pointed at the tip of his nose, his action was really just to move the tip of the sword, and there was no other meaning.
And because everyone could see that he had no other intentions, they didn't care about his action.
When he reacted, Huatu had already entered a strong internal force, and with a burst of shouting, his fingers grabbed Yin Xuan's fingers and wrists in the form of eagle claws, to grab the sword of the Son of Heaven, saying that it was too late and that was fast, Yin Xuan's hand holding the sword shrank back, and the other finger grabbed Huatu's arm, but before he could catch it, he was blocked by the aura shot by a cold light sword, Wang Qi's sword blocked Yin Xuan's hand, and Gan Cheng next to him saw this, a sword was raised, stabbing at Wang Qizhi's shoulder, Wang Qizhi dodged and took a step back, and then Yin Xuan saw the opportunity, A slap on his shoulder.
Hua Tu only advanced and did not retreat, he saw the palm that Yin Xuan hit, but he couldn't dodge, because he wanted to grab the sword of the Son of Heaven.
After Shengsheng received a palm, his hand also grabbed the hilt of the Son of Heaven Sword.
Not only did he grab the hilt of the sword, but he also grabbed Yin Xuan's right hand.
Yin Xuan sneered, on that side, Wang Qizhi had already been entangled with Gan Cheng first.
And on this side, when Huatu's hand grabbed Yin Xuan's hand, Yin Xuan's wrist flipped, and the sword qi swept towards Huatu's arm from the bottom up.
If you can't avoid this, your wrist will be cut off by sword qi.
Huatu had no choice but to retreat.
But as soon as he retreated, Yin Xuan attacked.
Seeing that the people in the pavilion were fighting, the two guards outside the pavilion also fought outside.
In close combat, everyone has a reason to win, so no one will admit defeat.
Gancheng fought against Wang Qizhi and was obviously defeated.
Huatu fought against Yin Xuan, and was obviously also defeated.
Seeing that Gancheng was losing and retreating, Yin Xuan slapped Huatu on the back shoulder, knocking him back several steps, and before he could stand firm, Yin Xuan had already split Wang Qizhi's sword with a sword, shaking Gancheng out of the pavilion.
Wang Qizhi stared at the sword in Yin Xuan's hand: "The Sword of the Son of Heaven really lives up to its reputation, no wonder Qu Shang is bent on getting it." ”
Yin Xuan sneered: "So you are coming for my Son of Heaven Sword, and you still say anything about surrendering, but it doesn't matter, even if you are pretending to surrender, but I really want to force you to tell the traces of Qu Shang, if you don't say it, then you will be buried here." ”
Yin Xuan can see that although Huatu and Wang Qizhi are the relationship between the monarch and the minister, they can be like brothers, just like Yin Xuan treats Feng Chang, Yin Xuan treats Feng Chang like an eldest brother, so if you want to pry Huatu's mouth open, you have to take Wang Qizhi's method.
After analyzing this, Yin Xuan spared no effort to deal with Wang Qizhi.
Even if the Wang family's swordsmanship is very powerful, he has to break him!
After shaking Wang Qizhi's sword away, Yin Xuan stabbed him in the waist with a sword.
Wang Qizhi snorted, blood flowed out of his waist, and the whole person stumbled violently, Huatu saw this and shouted: "Qizhi!" ”
He angrily stabbed Yin Xuan's heart with a sword, but unfortunately, Yin Xuan avoided it.
Yin Xuan elbowed Wang Qizhi's other body, looked at Hua Tu, who was almost angry, and said: "If you want to keep him, tell Qu Shang's traces, otherwise, I will abolish him." ”
Huatu gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.
Yin Xuan immediately stepped on Wang Qizhi's bare feet, grabbed his hands and feet, and abolished his martial arts.
Wang Qizhi let out a big cry of pain, seeing that Huatu was red-eyed and killed, but he bit not to mention the trace of Qu Shang, after Yin Xuan blocked Huatu with the sword of the Son of Heaven, he was about to kill Wang Qizhi with a sword, Huatu screamed in fright, and immediately said: "I said!" I say! You don't want to kill Qizhi! ”
Yin Xuan stopped his sword and looked at him: "Tell the truth." ”
Hua Tu moved his lips, looked at Wang Qizhi with his eyes, and told Yin Xuan about Qu Shang's traces, but Yin Xuan only let them go, and wanted to tie them up to the place where the Great Yin garrison was stationed first.
Huatu was furious, and slashed at the pillar of the pavilion with a sword, and as the pillar was cut off, the tall pavilion also "snapped" and disappeared.
As soon as the soldiers of the northern kingdom of Suijin who were ambushed in the distance saw this signal, where could they still hide, they rushed out one by one, shouting and shouting and killing.
And when they rushed, Feng Chang, who was ambushed in the shadows, also rushed out with the soldiers.
In the chaos, Huatu still escaped with Wang Qizhi.
Although he escaped, Huatu was injured, Wang Qizhi was also injured, and both of them were seriously injured, so they could only recuperate and could no longer lead the troops to fight.
The soldiers who were in ambush on both sides were each injured and retreated.
Feng Chang rushed to the dilapidated pavilion and saw that Yin Xuan was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked him, "Have you asked about the trace of Qu Shang?" ”
Yin Xuan said: "I asked it, but I don't know if it's true or false." ”
Feng Chang said: "Tell the news to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will distinguish the truth from the false." ”
Yin Xuan said, "Hmm. ”
Thinking of Nie Qingwan, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he quickly sank down again, not letting anyone see it.
He walked up to Gan Cheng and asked him how he was.
After Gan Cheng said that he couldn't die, Yin Xuan left him alone and asked the soldiers to take him back and recuperate.
Yin Xuan and Feng Chang returned to the camp, and this time they could sleep steadily.
But Yin Xuan took off his clothes and lay on the bed, but he couldn't sleep again.
He wanted to see Nie Qingwan.
It's just that he hasn't seen her for a day, and he starts to miss her.
There were still two hours to go, and Yin Xuan reluctantly let himself sleep, because he still had to go to see her during the day and talk about tonight.
It was almost a squint, and the sky was dawning.
Yin Xuan quickly dressed, stepped on the gray and white sky, and went to find Feng Chang.
Feng Chang went back last night and fell asleep, so he was in good spirits, and when Yin Xuan came to look for him, he had already left the camp and was moving his muscles.
Seeing Yin Xuan coming, Feng Chang called him to eat.
After breakfast, Feng Chang asked him: "Do you send someone to send a message to the Queen Mother, or do you go there in person?" ”
Yin Xuan said: "You stay here, I will go to see the Queen Mother, Huatu and Wang Qizhi were seriously injured last night, today the small country should be in peace for the time being, even if the small country is restless, without Huatu and Wang Qizhi, those people are not worried, my soldiers are at your disposal, if the small country is in trouble, you should fight." ”
Feng Chang nodded, and raised his hand to signal him to hurry up.
Yin Xuan didn't bring anyone, and went to see Nie Qingwan alone.
The place where Nie Qingwan is stationed is called the cave gang, which is a very secret terrain in the rear of the northern kingdom of Suijin, and Nie Qingwan was just about to have breakfast when Yin Xuan came.
The battle ahead has been communicated to her, so she knows what is going on during the day, but she really doesn't know at night.
Hearing that the people outside were saying that Yin Xuan was coming, Nie Qingwan was stunned for a moment, and passed the word in with a smile.
Yin Xuan came in and greeted her first.
And when he asked Nie Qingwan for peace, Ren Ji and Nie Yin also greeted him at the same time.
Yin Xuan waved his hand at the two of them, and turned to look at Nie Qingwan.
Nie Qingwan asked him, "Have you had breakfast?" ”
Yin Xuan said: "I have eaten it." ”
Nie Qingwan pointed to the chair on the side and motioned for him to sit.
Yin Xuan sat down.
Nie Qingwan heard him say that he had eaten, and he didn't force him to eat again, but just picked up the chopsticks and ate his own, while asking him: "Come to me at this time, do you have something to say?" ”
Yin Xuan said, "Hmm. ”
Nie Qingwan picked her eyelids and looked at him: "What's the matter?" ”
Yin Xuan glanced at her again and told him what happened last night, and when he finished speaking, Nie Qingwan pinched the hand of the chopsticks for a moment, and looked at him with obvious consternation: "This kind of thing happened last night?" ”
Yin Xuan said, "Hmm. ”
