Chapter 266: At the Princess's Command
Obviously, Yan Xi also heard the sound of the quarrel that came from the wind.
"City Lord Liu, you follow closely. This place is set up in formation, and it will be dangerous to go wrong. Yan Xi said a word to Liu Shaoqing, looked at the surrounding layout, and walked forward with a route that seemed extremely strange to Liu Shaoqing.
In a short distance, if you go straight, you only need half a pillar of incense to walk over, but Yan Xi has to go around, a while forward, a while and a back, a full two quarters of an hour.
Just when Liu Shaoqing was about to be stunned by Yan Xi, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. In the dense woods in front of me, some tents that had never been seen before gradually appeared.
Liu Shaoqing looked back at the road, his eyes were full of surprise. There is a formation arranged nearby, and these thousands of people can be quietly hidden in the deep mountains. If you are not familiar with this formation, even if you turn over the mountains that stretch for thousands of miles, I am afraid that you will not be able to find any trace of these people.
"Let's go." Yan Xi and Liu Shaoqing greeted each other, and walked towards the tent hidden in the dense forest.
walked to the outside of the largest camp, and the soldiers guarding outside were about to greet Yan Xi, but were stopped by Yan Xi. Liu Shaoqing followed, looking at Yan Xi with curiosity in his eyes.
Why didn't Miss Yan go in? Is she going to listen to the corner outside? Isn't she afraid of being discovered by the people inside, let alone saving the prince when the time comes, both of them will probably be unable to protect themselves.
"Yan ......" was about to persuade Yan Xi to say a few words, when a roar suddenly came from the camp, and Liu Shaoqing was so startled that he closed his mouth suddenly.
I only heard the sound of fierce quarrels in the tent.
"Jiang Xiuwen, are you stupid to read, the prince has also been arrested by the king of Southern Xinjiang, do you still have the heart to wait here?" A gruff voice came out.
"Jiang Chengwu, calm down! Let us wait here for the command, it is the order of the king. A somewhat weak voice came, dissuading the man who had spoken before.
"Waiting for orders? Now that the prince has been arrested, how can he still command? Jiang Chengwu asked, the voice landed, and there was a sound of footsteps in the camp tent, and then, Jiang Chengwu continued, "If you want to stay here and wait, you will wait by yourself." Anyway, I can't wait, I'm going to save the prince now. ”
Then, the curtain of the camp tent was lifted, and Jiang Chengwu walked out with an angry face. Jiang Chengwu was in a hurry and almost bumped into Yan Xi's body.
Yan Xi glanced at Jiang Chengwu coldly, chuckled, and said mockingly, "Yo, I haven't seen you for a few months, Commander Jiang is so majestic?" ”
Jiang Chengwu's face turned red, he looked at Yan Xi with embarrassment, and he was speechless for a long time.
Hearing the sound outside the tent, Jiang Xiuwen also walked out. Seeing that the person standing outside was indeed Empress Yan Xi, Jiang Xiuwen's eyes flashed with joy, and he saluted Yan Xi and said, "My subordinates have seen the princess." ”
Seeing that Jiang Chengwu was still stunned, Jiang Xiuwen touched his arm with his elbow.
Jiang Chengwu reacted, looked at Yan Xi, and muttered, "I've seen the princess." ”
"Alright, let's go inside." Yan Xi waved his hand and walked straight towards the tent.
Jiang Xiuwen followed closely behind Yan Xi, and Jiang Chengwu no longer shouted that he wanted to take someone to save Xiao Zhihan, and obediently followed Yan Xi into the camp.
Liu Shaoqing, who was on the side, plucked out his ears, almost thinking that he had heard it wrong behind his ears.
What are the names of those two people just now? Princess? The prince actually got married, how could he never have heard of it!
Liu Shaoqing always thought that Yan Xi was a favorite concubine by Xiao Zhihan's side, and at most she was promoted to a lady or something. never expected that she would be Xiao Zhihan's princess. At this moment, Liu Shaoqing only felt that his back was already wet with cold sweat. The brain, which was a little sluggish because of too many things that had happened, also ran rapidly, recalling every scene he had with Yan Xi, judging whether he had inadvertently offended Yan Xi.
"Lord Liu, what are you doing in a daze?"
When Liu Shaoqing was recalling, Yan Xi's voice came from the camp. Liu Shaoqing's body shook, opened the curtain and walked in.
"This is Liu Shaoqing, the city lord of Wan'an City, these two are the two generals under the command of the prince, Jiang Chengwu and Jiang Xiuwen." Yan Xi looked at the three people in the camp and introduced them.
After the introduction, Yan Xi looked at Jiang Xiuwen and asked, "Are all the things I asked you to prepare before?" ”
When she left Qingfeng Cliff, she once gave Jiang Xiuwen some prescriptions, as well as how to make poisonous explosive bombs. In order to use poison bombs to carry out a surprise attack when facing the army of southern Xinjiang. In addition, there are some small traps that are not complicated to make, but when they can be used, they have great power.
Jiang Xiuwen nodded and said to Yan Xi, "Don't worry, princess, it has been prepared according to your requirements." ”
"Princess, when are we going to save the prince?" Jiang Chengwu, who was anxious, held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking.
Yan Xi glanced at him and said, "Do you know where the prince is being held?" How do you go about saving him? Could it be that you plan to use these thousands of men and horses outside to fight with the king of Southern Xinjiang is 100,000 army? ”
"What about the 100,000 army, these soldiers outside are all good at being able to be ten, as long as they cooperate well, it is definitely not a problem to rescue the prince." Jiang Chengwu replied with confidence on his face.
"In the army of the king of southern Xinjiang, in addition to the 100,000 soldiers, there are thousands of poisonous snakes and beasts! Even if these soldiers outside can be ten with one, can they dodge the fangs of poisonous snakes and the claws of fierce beasts? You don't know anything, so you rushed forward like this, not to save your prince, but to take these horses of his to the king of southern Xinjiang to die! Yan Xi said sharply.
She knows Jiang Chengwu's temperament, and he is definitely a good hand when he fights and trains soldiers. But when it comes to wisdom and strategy, he is far worse than Jiang Xiuwen. In order to prevent Jiang Chengwu from doing bad things, she can only say it ruthlessly now.
Jiang Chengwu was blushing at what Yan Xi said, and imagined the scene that Yan Xi said in his mind, and lowered his head and kept silent.
Seeing that Jiang Chengwu had stopped, Yan Xi spread a map of Wan'an City on the table, pointed to the terrain of Wan'an City, and said, "When the king of Southern Xinjiang enters Wan'an City, he will definitely choose to live in the city lord's mansion, and Fang Qi will naturally not choose another place to live." In order to look at your prince closely, Fang Qi would definitely not let the prince stay too far away from him. Therefore, the prince was either locked up in an empty room in the City Lord's Mansion by Xiao Zhihan and sent someone to guard him strictly, or he was locked up in the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion......"
Yan Xi analyzed the situation in Wan'an City, and Jiang Chengwu and others cooperated with each other with all their might. Especially Liu Shaoqing, his admiration for Yan Xi at this time is no less than Xiao Zhihan, and almost all of the questions raised by Yan Xi are answered.
After lowering his head and observing the structure of the City Lord's Mansion for a long time, Yan Xi raised his head, looked at Liu Shaoqing and asked, "City Lord Liu, is there a secret passage in the City Lord's Mansion?" ”
Liu Shaoqing raised his head and looked at Yan Xi for a long time. Walking up to the map, he drew a mark in the northwest corner of the Lord's Mansion. After putting down the pen, he said to Yan Xi with some embarrassment, "This is still when the City Lord's Mansion was repaired a few years ago, just in case, I specially asked the craftsman to dig out the secret passage, which leads directly to the deep mountains behind Wan'an City." ”
Yan Xi looked at the place where Liu Shaoqing had marked on the map, his eyes lit up, and he already had an idea in his heart. Bringing Liu Shaoqing and the three of them together, Yan Xi pointed to the map and ordered, "Tonight, we will enter through this secret passage and ambush in the city lord's mansion. You three ......"
Hearing Yan Xi's arrangement, Liu Shaoqing and Jiang Xiuwen both looked at Yan Xi with admiration, although Jiang Chengwu didn't know what Yan Xi's purpose was, he obediently obeyed her orders.
Jiang Xiuwen seemed to suddenly remember something, looked up at Yan Xi, and asked, "What about you, princess?" ”
Yan Xi sneered and said, "Naturally, I'm going to find the King of Southern Xinjiang and Fang Qi's dignitaries!" ”
"Absolutely not, Da Bai killed Hademi, the king of Southern Xinjiang hates you and Da Bai to the core. If you go, you'll be caught in the net. Liu Shaoqing was startled and hurriedly stopped, "In case you have another accident at that time, even if we rescue the prince, we can't explain to him!" ”
Yan Xi completely pretended not to hear Liu Shaoqing's words, pointed to a few places on the map, and continued, "When the time comes, you will first solve the southern Xinjiang soldiers in the City Lord's Mansion, and then ambush in these places and listen to my signals." As soon as you hear me shouting "Do it," you rush in. When he captured the king of southern Xinjiang, his eyes lit up. The people of Southern Xinjiang are full of Gu all over their bodies, if you run into a variety that I am not sure of, you will wait to suffer! Alright, let's go down and get ready, and in half an hour, set off for the entrance of the secret passage! ”
"Yes, my subordinates know." Jiang Xiuwen and Jiang Chengwu saluted Yan Xi, then turned around and left to do the preparations.
Seeing that Jiang Xiuwen and Jiang Chengwu didn't have any intention of worrying about Yan Xi, Liu Shaoqing's face became more and more anxious, and he said to Jiang Chengwu and Jiang Xiuwen's backs, "How can you be like this?" It's a persuasion to Miss Yan! ”
How could these two do that? Isn't Miss Yan their princess? How can they be so indifferent?
Hearing Liu Shaoqing's words, Yan Xi, who was looking down at the map, raised his head and said to Jiang Xiuwen and Jiang Chengwu's backs, "You two, invite the Liu City Lord out." ”
Jiang Xiuwen and Jiang Chengwu took a break and walked to Liu Shaoqing's side.
"Lord Liu, please." Jiang Xiuwen was still more gentle, looked at Liu Shaoqing who was full of worry, and said with a smile.
Jiang Chengwu was not as good at talking as Jiang Xiuwen, and without waiting for Liu Shaoqing to react, he reached out and put his hand on Liu Shaoqing's neck, and dragged him towards the outside of the tent.
Yan Xi raised his head and looked at Liu Shaoqing, who was brutally dragged away by Jiang Chengwu, and couldn't help laughing.
Outside the tent, Liu Shaoqing struggled to break away from Jiang Chengwu's arm, and said angrily, "In case something happens to Miss Yan, how are you going to explain it to the prince!" ”
Jiang Chengwu smiled and turned to leave without saying a word. Jiang Xiuwen glanced at Liu Shaoqing sympathetically, shook his head, and said, "City Lord Liu, the princess is not as weak as you think. ”
Looking at the back of Jiang Xiuwen leaving, thinking about what he said, Liu Shaoqing couldn't help but think of the scene of Yan Xi's murder he saw in the Evil Ghost Cliff. Shivered involuntarily, Liu Shaoqing's worry still existed, but he dispelled the idea of stopping Yan Xi.
