Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Valley of Butterflies

But I saw that the candle flame was poured down in an instant, igniting the paved lead below, and in a moment the fire was scattered, and the whole camp was burned, and it was red.

It turned out to be an empty account, is it just to lure the enemy in vain? Weiyang flew up in an instant, and when he was about to retreat on the way to and fro, a black shadow in the distance rushed to the sound of the gong, and he still carried a stunned soldier in his hand and threw it into the burning tent, pulled Weiyang up and left.

The two of them left the camp and headed north, and walked for an hour before stopping.

Weiyang shook off the man's hand, gently rubbed his painful wrist, glared at him with two big eyes, and was about to walk back.

"You can't listen to some words, fortunately the national teacher is not in the camp today, otherwise I won't be able to save you!" The man spoke, and although what he said was even far from the Chu language, he could understand it.

He saw that Weiyang stopped but didn't turn back, and stepped forward and pulled her wrist, "Go back to the valley first, but is it hurt?" ”

The voice is extremely spoiled.

Weiyang couldn't help but look up at him, although the night was dark, his eyes were extremely bright, as if he had seen it somewhere. Suddenly it occurred to me that they were my own eyes, and they were so similar.

"I'm ......" Before she finished speaking, the man unexpectedly clicked on the two acupuncture points on her body.

"If you don't behave, you have to do this, go back first!" The man couldn't help but say, carry her and leave.

Weiyang couldn't laugh or cry, he had never been so easily controlled by others since he became an artist. The man and himself were like himself and retreated from the camp at night, but the kung fu was not ordinary, since he was not the enemy, he should go.

She didn't bother to hit the acupoint, and dozed off on the man's shoulder comfortably.

I didn't think that this drowsiness really gave her sleep. When the two of them entered a valley in the moonlight, the man reached out and untied the acupuncture points on her body, and she woke up quietly.

"Go back to your room and sleep, good!" The man had finished speaking, and turned to leave.

Weiyang rubbed his eyes and just wanted to agree, but suddenly came to his senses, "Hey, where is this?" ”

The man paused at the sound of her voice, and his body seemed to freeze, and he did not turn back for a long time.

"You have to tell me where this is and where you want to go!" Weiyang's mischievous opening.

The man suddenly turned around and approached like lightning, and was about to capture her again, but she easily dodged her.

"Hey, you're unreasonable, do you want to come back after you click on my acupoint?" Weiyang is still a stubborn ruffian who is angry and does not pay for his life.

I saw the man with a dark face and asked, "Who are you, why are you pretending to be Lu'er?" He secretly cried out in his heart, the person he saved at this time was not Lu'er, wouldn't that Lu'er be more than lucky?

Weiyang rolled his eyes, "I'm like this, who knows what the way is, you carried me back by yourself!" After speaking, he looked at the man's face again, and was very annoyed, "Saved the wrong person?" I'll help you get it back! After speaking, he raised his leg and left.

She was thinking the same thing in her heart, afraid that the people he wanted to save would be more auspicious.

The man was angry, and his hands used his internal force to slash at Weiyang.

Weiyang only blindly dodged at first, but the man attacked more and more urgently. Weiyang also lost his temper, and the Red Flame Heart rose from the palms of his two hands, and he fought with the man.

The two fought for an unknown amount of time, no matter how good they were, neither of them was willing to let the other party take advantage of the slightest advantage, although they attacked more and defended less, but no one was a killer.

Just when she was inseparable, a crisp female voice sounded through the window, "Brother Xun, is Sister Luo'er here?" ”

The man was stunned when he heard this call, and he didn't have time to retreat, so he received a slap from Weiyang.

Weiyang also heard the call, but his palm had already been punched, so he had to unload most of his strength halfway, and when he reached the person, he would not hurt anyone.

"Lu'er?" The man exclaimed, "You didn't go to the camp?" ”

There was a light in the west chamber, and someone heard the sound of Suo Suo wearing clothes and shoes, "Didn't you let me go on an adventure?" Then he muttered: "Besides, I'm afraid that I really met Sister Luo'er, but she won't let me go easily!" ”

The man looked back at Weiyang.

The door opened, and a girl in a pale blue dress came out with a candlelight.

"Who is this man?" Hua Lu asked, raising her eyebrows.

Weiyang looked over, Hua Lu was only fifteen or sixteen years old, her skin was white, and her two big eyes were flickering, which was extremely cute.

The brother and sister looked at Weiyang in unison.

Weiyang was helpless, so he had to tear off the face covering and said very apologetically, "Thank you brother for saving your life, this will not bother, don't bother!" ”

Without waiting for the brother and sister to speak, they turned around and left.

"Wait!"

Weiyang turned around and looked at the man who had spoken.

"Brother Xun, apart from the two of us, even Sister Luo'er doesn't recognize the road to the valley, so I'll leave him for one night and leave tomorrow!" Hualu rarely sees outsiders twice a year, and this young man is extremely delicate, she likes it in her heart.

"Lu'er, this person can't leave him if he steals into the edict camp, since he is from the north, he should let him leave as soon as possible, so that the national teacher will find out the trouble of finding Butterfly Valley!" The man said coldly.

Weiyang opened his mouth and didn't speak, and his heart was full of joy because of that sentence in Butterfly Valley.

Of the thousands of possibilities originally envisaged, it was not as easy as it is today. She insisted on walking alone, in order to find this butterfly valley. The death of her parents is inextricably linked to this butterfly valley, and no one will tell her, so she will find out by herself.

"The little sister is willing to stay, and she will be bothered all night." put away the previous hippie pen face, and the essence between his eyebrows and eyes was shining, and he couldn't hide it.

Hua Lu took two steps forward and said with a pure face, "My name is Hua Lu, this is my brother Hua Xun, what is your name?" ”

"In Xia Weiyang!" Weiyang was infected by her cheerfulness, looked slightly, and said lightly.

The man named Hua Xun took a few steps forward and asked suspiciously, "But Gongzi Weiyang?" ”

"It's down there!"

Although Gongzi Weiyang is not among the six sons of Eastern Chu, his popularity in the rivers and lakes is far better than that of the six. Moreover, her calligraphy and painting are unique, comparable to the sage of painting back then.

Hua Xun's face looked better, "There are still two spare rooms in the east chamber, son, please be wronged for one night!" He took the candle flame from Hualu's hand and led the way.

The three of them all went back to their rooms, and none of them saw a dark blue butterfly the size of a palm, lingering for a long time where the three had just stood before flapping its wings and flying away.

Let's say that Hua Xun thought to himself: when he just came back, he was soft, light, and faintly smelled of a familiar fragrance. But how did it turn out to be a man, and he was too negligent, and he was indistinguishable between men and women. There is also a deep uneasiness in his heart, after all, he is a person from Dongchu, and now that the war is imminent, his purpose is self-evident.

Weiyang justifiably relied on the Butterfly Valley, and this residence was half a moon, while monitoring the movements of the southwest valley, while entangled with Huaxun Hualu.

In the past half a month, the capital has been in chaos.

Prince Yue was in a coma for five days before waking up, during which Qin Yan sent people to strictly guard inside and outside the palace, and almost every day there were people secretly coming and going, or being captured by Qin Yan or being injured and running away, and finally there were no more accidents.

Late this day and night, Qin Yan tiredly went out of the palace gate and returned home, just turned to the northbound of Suzaku Street, a person rode a fast horse to stop, rolled the saddle and knelt on the street: "General Qin, King Li is poisoned, Lord Jing invites you to come over!" ”

Qin Yan's eyes instantly flashed with coldness, Dongchu is now surrounded by strong enemies, and his two brothers don't know how to join forces to fight the enemy, but they kill each other for the emperor's position, what is the use of his talisman?

Before he could ride the horse, Ye Heng came.

"General Qin, I just received the news that the 300,000 troops of the Nanzhao Kingdom are gathered in a hundred miles south of Qixia Pass, please make a decision!"

Qin Yan's face was a little more ugly, "Ye Heng, beckon Tianqi and Wei Xiangdong to return to the city, wait for me in the Praetorian Guard Camp, and this general will go back as soon as he goes!" After speaking, he kicked the horse's belly and galloped towards the Liwang Mansion on the east side of the forbidden city.

Someone was already waiting at the door and took the reins of his horse, "General Qin, please!" ”

Qin Yan didn't answer, and entered a courtyard coldly.

Chu Jing frowned and paced at the door with his hands behind his back, and saw Qin Yan coming and hurriedly greeted him, "General Qin, show Xiao Liu!" ”

Qin Yan nodded and entered the inner room.

Chu Li's eyes were closed, and his face was dark.

Stretched out his hand to take the pulse, rolled his eyelids and lips and looked at them, wrote a prescription on the paper on the bookcase in the inner room and handed it to the entourage, and then washed his hands and came out.

"How is Little Liu?" Chu Jing asked with some concern.

Qin Yan looked at Chu Jing, who was still gray-haired a few days ago, but now there was no black hair, and he couldn't bear it.

"It's fine, ordinary poison." The time of poisoning is still short, it has not entered the heart and lungs, it is easy to solve and not easy to understand, and it is inevitable that Chu Li will suffer some hardship.

"That's good, there can't be any more accidents now, alas!" Chu Jing sighed helplessly.

Qin Yan gritted his teeth and endured the words he was about to exit, then turned around and walked out.

When he was far away, Chu Jing remembered that he didn't say anything, and he wanted to call him again, where was there a shadow, and he muttered to himself, "Why are you in such a hurry!" ”

In the Praetorian Guard camp.

Qin Yan picked up the information sent by each checkpoint in the past few days from the bookcase and read it carefully.

The information from Qixia Pass was only sent today, and the date was four days ago. From Qixia Pass fast horse transmission, every 500 miles of post stations to change horses without changing people, day and night four days is the limit.

"General!" A loud man's voice came from outside the door.

Qin Yan put down the fold in his hand, "Come in!" ”

Xiang Tianqi was in front, and Ye Heng and Wei Xiangdong were in the back.

"Jiang Tao!" Qin Yan shouted towards the door.

Jiang Tao entered the door, "Childe! ”

"Go out and guard the door, no one is allowed to approach, otherwise ......!" Qin Yan's voice was like frost, and he said that half of it was left and half of it was left.

Jiang Tao turned around and ran out, closed the door with one hand, drew his sword, and stood upright at the door.

Qin Yan glanced at the two, "Ye Heng, come on!" ”

"General, today the prince just woke up and reported that King Li was poisoned, this matter is ......!" Ye Heng spoke.

Qin Yan glanced at him, and Ye Heng instantly stopped his words.

"And no matter how the two of them fight, now that Qixia Pass is in an emergency, General Ben has no leisure to watch the two of them play!" Qin Yan narrowed his eyes, and he suddenly thought in his heart that the person sometimes narrowed his eyes like this, and it turned out that it meant like this. "Commander Wei, after dawn, you take my token to Zhongshan to transfer 300,000 troops, and wait for my order; Ye Heng, you are responsible for escorting the grain and grass, prepare immediately! ”

The two of them each received a token and went out to get on the horse and leave.

"What about me?" Xiang Tianqi asked with a twist of his eyebrows.

Qin Yan glanced at him and said indifferently: "You have your own place, what's the hurry?" ”

Xiang Tianqi was unhappy in his heart, he was impatient, and he couldn't bear it when he was used to it.

Qin Yan deliberately suppressed his reckless temper, restrained his temperament, and would be of great use when he went to the battlefield in the future.

"Prepare the horses!" Qin Yan ignored the annoyed Xiang Tianqi, and ordered Jiang Tao, who was still guarding the door: "Go and ask Prince Jing to go to the palace!" ”

After a while, Qin Yan got on his horse and went to the palace.

The three of them discussed until the time of the last dynasty, but there was still no result.

Qin Yan has already decided, "There are only 100,000 guards left in Qixia Pass, and this overturning of the Southern Zhao is to calculate the right time for the whole army to attack, and it must be unstoppable." Qin Yan only knows how to protect his family and defend the country, and if the territory is there, there will be a country to protect! ”

The prince covered his heart and wrinkled his eyebrows to death, "Now that the emperor is newly mourned, and the country has no right master, at this time it is time to make every effort to rectify the government, if the prince ascends the throne and the world is unified, how can he dare to be so arrogant with an army of 300,000 in Nanzhao!" ”

Qin Yan didn't answer, and Chu Jing was also in a dilemma.

Chu Jing was really afraid that if Qin Yan led his troops away, no one would be able to suppress the prince and Chu Li, and the fight would be turned upside down. Even if he wins the battle on the front line, and the country will be broken, what can he do?

At the end of the day, the three of them went to court.

Still inconclusive.

After the next dynasty, Qin Yan got on the meteor and went to the camp of Zhongshan in the north of the city.

Two days later, the 200,000 army was assembled and went to Ninggu Pass from Eastern Chu to the north, receiving Qin Yan's order to defend it. Outside this Ninggu Pass is Lucheng, which seems to be stable but the dark tide is turbulent for 50 years, and there is no leisure for a day.

Phoenix City only has 100,000 defenders, and it has been shared with the Western Tang Kingdom for fifty years. Now that the country of Eastern Chu is in danger, what he is most afraid of is the common disturbance of the neighbors, which will surely fall into a desperate situation in Eastern Chu, and he only hopes to rely on the dense forests of the western mountain roads and forests to carry out heavy troops, and he can defend the city for a while, and then continue the war after conquering Nanzhao, and then he will not be afraid of raising troops to attack.

The next day, 200,000 defenders rushed to Fengxiang Pass.

Ye Heng personally came to ask for instructions, "All the grain and grass are ready, just waiting for orders." ”

At midnight, Wei Xiangdong reported that the soldiers and horses of the three routes had been assembled.

At this point, there were only 100,000 guards and 20,000 Praetorian Guards left in Beijing, and Qin Yan returned to the city in the middle of the night with the order, and went straight to King Jing's mansion.

"Nanzhao is a small country, although it is not a matter of concern, it cannot be allowed to go wild, and it is the most difficult to solve when it becomes a neighbor to follow suit." Chu Jing said worriedly.

Qin Yan nodded lightly, "I will set off for Qixia Pass in the morning, and the affairs in the capital will also be settled by King Laojing." Now Ningguguan and Fengxiangguan have increased troops to defend the city, but they also need to stabilize the frontier in the palace to gain morale. ”

Chu Jing let out a long sigh and said for a while, "Why don't this king know the truth, just because now those two people are fighting to rise, and the first emperor has become their respective forces without restraint when he was alive, it's difficult!" ”

After dawn, the prince hurriedly edicted, and Qin Yan and Chu Jing both entered the palace.

The crown prince reversed the stop two days ago, and personally named Qin Yan as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and he arranged and dispatched all the affairs in the army, and led the army to Qixia Pass to resist the enemy.
