Chapter 89: Xu Zhaohua's Disappearance
After a long time, when Zhou Shengcuobai came back, he saw that Xu Zhaohua was still studying combat strategies in front of the candlestick, and he looked at the woman in front of him and felt a little distressed inexplicably.
She has already done more for Dongqi.
Zhou Sheng Cuobai didn't bother her, but quietly stood behind her and watched quietly, Xu Zhaohua was still writing and painting with pen and ink, and didn't notice the person behind him coming.
Before he knew it, it was already the time for the rooster to crow, Xu Zhaohua got up and stretched his waist to look at the moon in the sky, and Zhou Shengcuo, who was standing behind, smiled: "Guanghan is good-looking?" ”
Xu Zhaohua turned around and saw Zhou Sheng Cuobai: "When did Cuobai come?" ”
"Not long after I arrived," Zhou Shengcuobai said, "It's too hard to make a crisp." ”
Xu Zhaohua looked at the moon in the sky: "It doesn't matter if it's hard or not, it's the key to end this battle quickly." ”
Zhou Sheng Cuobai also sighed and looked at the moon in the sky with Xu Zhaohua, it was not very round, it was like a moon cake with a corner missing, like his mood now, he has everything, there are rivers and mountains, there are his beloved, the only regret is that this struggle is not over.
It has to be over quickly.
A gust of wind suddenly rose, Xu Zhaohua felt a little cool, and Zhou Shengcuobai closed the window in time
"Mengdong is coming, and you should pay attention to the cold."
Xu Zhaohua nodded and stood up and walked to the bedside, it was not early and it was time to rest, and soon the candlelight in the room was extinguished.
Sui Feng on this side of the woods looked at the light over there and looked at the moon on the trunk of the tree, the wind was blowing gusts, blowing the hem of his clothes, and the moon today was just like his mood.
After dawn, Su Mingtuo and Su Qinfeng led the troops to pursue and attack Daduan, and the army led by Sui Chen retreated one after another, and the good news was sent to Zhou Shengcuobai and Xu Zhaohua one by one.
Su Mingtuo, who was on the battlefield, sighed and said that thanks to the combat strategy given to him by Xu Zhaohua this morning, otherwise they would not have defeated Dongqi so easily.
"Daddy, how did my cousin come up with it, why can't I think of it?" Su Qinfeng asked.
Su Mingtuo glanced at him and then snorted coldly: "You ask yourself, if you stinky boy have half of your cousin's intelligence and strategy on the battlefield, I will be thankful." ”
Su Qinfeng was a little ashamed, but he was still happy in his heart, after all, such a powerful person was his cousin and not someone else.
There were unforeseen circumstances, just as the two fathers and sons of Ersu led the troops to force the Daduan army to a dead end, and they were about to be annihilated in one fell swoop, suddenly the soldiers of Daduan became different from usual. Their combat effectiveness has increased a lot, and not only that, but even the soldiers have become much braver, and they rush forward as if they are not afraid of death.
At first, Su Mingtuo thought that maybe they also realized that this was the last desperate fight, so they wanted to fight back and fight the last one, but then Su Mingtuo found that it seemed that the truth was not only that, those soldiers seemed to be bloodless at all, and they had become invulnerable, and soon Daduan won the battle, and they still had the intention of continuing to pursue.
After many years of battlefield battles, Su Mingtuo was keenly aware of this early, and he promptly ordered the soldiers of Eastern Qi to retreat first, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties, they retreated to a mountain top to temporarily recuperate here, and wrote down the situation here as the secretary ordered people to send it to Xu Zhaohua and Zhou Shengcuobai quickly.
The small number of soldiers in the Eastern Qi army can be stationed on the top of the mountain, which is a position in their favor, and Sui Chen also knows this, so he did not rashly let the Daduan soldiers attack, so the scene between the two sides was so deadlocked.
Xu Zhaohua received the secret report from Su Mingtuo's fast horse whip It was close to dusk, he and Xu Zhaohua were a little surprised, and asked Yide if a similar situation had happened when he led the troops in Daduan before, Yide was also very surprised after hearing it, saying that this was something that had never happened before.
At this time, Xiao Su had already walked in, and saw someone else saluting her as usual: "Queen Mother Wan'an." ”
Xu Zhaohua motioned for her to get up.
"What's the matter with the queen calling the slave maid?" Xiao Su asked.
Xu Zhaohua told the things on the front line at the moment and Xiao Su's reaction was the same as Yide's after hearing it, saying that there had never been a group of big-end soldiers like this, but after thinking about it, she continued: "But now when I was in the palace, I had not paid attention to hearing some palace people privately talking that Miss Xianyue had arrested a few palace people for nonsensical reasons, and they came back a few days later, but they were still sane and clear, but they just didn't feel pain, and even more after being injured, they stopped bleeding. When I asked them what was going on, they wouldn't say if they were alive or dead. ”
After finishing speaking, the room was silent, and Xu Zhaohua seemed to understand what was going on: Xian Yue knew how to use witchcraft, and she had captured a few palace people to test whether her witchcraft worked, and it seemed that the current batch of invulnerable big-end soldiers was also designed by Sui Chen to let Xian Yue use this method, but according to the secret report, those soldiers seemed to have lost consciousness.
"Xiaoxu, do you know what disadvantages this method has for people?" Xu Zhaohua asked.
"Back to the queen's words, at first, those palace people found out their characteristics and then deliberately cut their own flesh by themselves or let others take a knife because of curiosity and other reasons, because they would not feel pain and blood, so they didn't care about the body at all, so they became even more intense, and took pride in it, feeling that this was a function that God rewarded them. But then ......" Xiao Su stopped.
"What happened?" Zhou Shengcuo asked.
Xiao Su recalled and continued: "Later, one day there was a scream from the West Third Palace, and the other palace people didn't know what was going on, but no one dared to take a look, and the voice was so miserable that most people who wanted to go to the bottom stopped when they heard it. At daybreak the wailing ceased, and when the brave men went to investigate, they let out a scream, and then ran out in panic, shouting the bloodiness of the scene. ”
Xu Zhaohua thought that he had also secretly explored the West Third Palace, which was the place where the wrong concubine was held, why those palace people lived there, and it was also deliberate by Sui Chen, the West Third Palace was far away from all palaces, and in the remote place of the Daduan Palace, where it was not easy to attract people's eyes.
"The people who came out said that the skin of the people inside seemed to be separated by many layers, but those who were willing to find that the place where their skin was cut was the same as the place where they themselves deliberately cut it with a knife some time ago to show off in front of people. Then there were soldiers who rushed to hear the news, and after the crowd dispersed, the West Three Palaces were sealed, and the palace people said that this was the gods who took back the reward given to them, and a small number of palace people suspected that all this was related to the fact that they were taken away by Xianyue some time ago, but after all, they were all people above, and they didn't dare to talk about anything anymore as slaves. ”
Xu Zhaohua suddenly understood, Xianyue's witchcraft was only temporary, and when the time passed, those soldiers would naturally feel pain like those palace people, and then bleed to death, it was only a matter of time, for fear that the soldiers would try it themselves because they found themselves invulnerable and couldn't feel the pain, causing unnecessary bloodshed in the future, which would also cause damage to Daduan's future troops, so they lost consciousness.
It's a really ruthless move.
At this point, Xu Zhaohua was not at ease, she decided to go to the Daduan military camp to inquire about the situation in person, but how to tell Zhou Shengcuobai this time, will he agree?
Thinking that she had said goodbye to Zhou Shengcuobai twice, she didn't want to hide it from him this time, so she casually found a reason to send everyone away and looked at Zhou Shengcuobai, at this moment he was looking at the front without saying a word, Xu Zhaohua didn't know where he was looking, but Xu Zhaohua understood him, and Zhou Shengcuobai must be thinking about things at this moment.
"Cuobai." Xu Zhaohua finally spoke.
"Don't go." Zhou Sheng Cuobai gave her three words.
Xu Zhaohua sighed, sure enough, they were the ones who knew each other best, and he knew what he was going to say before he could say it, and what he said was also within her expectations.
"Who else is it?" Xu Zhaohua did not try to convince him, but continued to ask.
Zhou Sheng Cuobai didn't expect her to ask herself like this, and she suddenly didn't know what to say, and finally said slowly: "I'll go."
"You can't go, you are the king of Dongqi, if you have some mistakes, what should Dongqi do?" Xu Zhaohua opposed him.
Zhou Shengcuo smiled whitely: "But what about you, crispy, you are my wife and the queen of Eastern Qi, if you have a mistake, what should I do." ”
After speaking, he looked directly at Xu Zhaohua, Xu Zhaohua did not avoid his eyes, but slowly met his gaze: "The person who can go can only be me, and only I can sneak into the enemy camp." ”
Zhou Sheng Cuobai did not deny this fact, now Su Mingtuo and Su Qinfeng are dealing with the soldiers of Daduan, and the only person who can sneak into the Daduan military camp is Xu Zhaohua except himself, he knows that he can't go, and the military spirit of Dongqi will be scattered, obviously this burden is handed over to his crisp.
Zhou Sheng Cuobai has never been so powerless, and the people he wants to protect are always in danger for himself.
"Cuobai, let me go." Xu Zhaohua's voice was not like a request, but a notice, an order.
Zhou Sheng Cuobai knew that once she spoke to herself in this tone, it showed that she had already made a decision in her heart, no matter who persuaded her, it would not work, even if she didn't let her go, she would do everything she could to go.
"Okay." Zhou Sheng Cuobai nodded, this good word meant too much to each other, it meant that she would go into danger alone, it meant that they were about to be like participating in business, and it meant that he would not be able to see her for several days.
With Zhou Shengcuobai's consent, Xu Zhaohua breathed a sigh of relief, let him go to rest first, and then he went to pack up his things and prepare to leave, taking advantage of the night is the best time, this matter cannot be delayed, wait for a moment more, the soldiers of Dongqi will be in danger for one more moment.
At this moment, Zhou Shengcuobai naturally couldn't sleep at night, and after hearing Xu Zhaohua go out, he opened his eyes, trying not to look back at her, so as not to regret it.
Looking at the moon tonight, Xu Zhaohua suddenly realized that today was the New Moon, and Sui Feng should suffer from illness on this day, Xu Zhaohua remembered his agreement with Sui Feng that day and immediately ran to the woods.
When Xu Zhaohua arrived in the woods, Xu Zhaohua didn't find Sui Feng, she looked around anxiously with the pill in her hand, if she couldn't find him in time, it would be a bad thing, I don't know if he could survive alone, just when Xu Zhaohua was anxious, there was a thin sound not far away, Xu Zhaohua followed the sound and walked over, and sure enough, he saw Sui Feng curled up on the ground in the innermost corner of the woods.
She ran over and helped Sui Feng on the ground up, Sui Feng's body was soaked, it seemed that he had been sick for some time, I don't know if the clothes on his body were soaked with sweat or he deliberately used cold water to relieve his pain, Xu Zhaohua hurriedly gave Sui Feng the pill he had developed in the last few days, which she specially developed according to Sui Feng's illness when he was sick, which could greatly alleviate his pain.
Gradually, Sui Feng showed less pain, but what followed was extreme thirst, which Xu Zhaohua never expected, he kept drinking water as if he was crazy. Xu Zhaohua soaked his own clothes in the nearby river and screwed him into his mouth, but Sui Feng didn't seem to be satisfied, and suddenly he grabbed Xu Zhaohua's arm and bit it down, Xu Zhaohua felt that his blood was losing rapidly.
She thought of those dry corpses, and quickly slapped Sui Feng's neck with her palms of both hands, and Sui Feng immediately fainted to the ground. Xu Zhaohua stood up and was about to leave, but looking at Sui Feng on the ground, she stopped again, took out a short knife and cut it an inch above her wrist, blood suddenly gushed out, she put her arm to Sui Feng's mouth and poured it into him.
Then Xu Zhaohua sprinkled some powder to stop bleeding on his wrist, placed Sui Feng in place, put a small jar of pills on his body, and left.
This is the only place where she can repay him.
Before leaving the Eastern Qi Dynasty, Xu Zhaohua went to the place where the prisoners were held in the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and although the current Daduan soldiers became invulnerable, some of them were still captured. When Xu Zhaohua went in to see the Daduan captives, he found that they hadn't even slept, it was already midnight at this time, which was really strange, could it be that they no longer slept after being sorcered, and the war could be fought day and night?
After getting this conclusion, Xu Zhaohua was shocked, glad that he came to the place where the prisoners were held at this moment and found this characteristic of them, it seems that he must go to the Daduan military camp immediately to find out, otherwise, with the combat effectiveness of the Daduan soldiers after being witchcrafted, Dongqi is in a great disadvantage, and will soon be threatened.
Under the moonlight, Xu Zhaohua rode a horse between the mountains and mountains, and when she arrived at the Daduan military camp, it was not yet dawn, and she was dressed in the cloak of night to cover her and make her not so easy to be discovered.
As she expected, at this moment, the soldiers of Daduan did not go to the barracks to sleep, but stood in a very regular manner, row by row, and no one spoke, as if they could send troops to fight at any time. Xu Zhaohua still doesn't know where their weaknesses are, but she firmly believes that no matter how powerful witchcraft is, it has its unknown loopholes, and as long as she can find this loophole and attack on it, she can defeat them.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhaohua quietly approached these soldiers, and slowly she smelled a strange fragrance of flowers, this kind of floral fragrance was very familiar, thinking about it, Xu Zhaohua felt as if something was gradually slipping away from her mind, she tried her best to control her consciousness but found that this feeling was getting weaker and more blurred, and when she realized that something was wrong, her feet no longer obeyed her command, as if she had a thousand pounds of weight, and she couldn't move......
After dawn, Sui Feng got up and saw the medicine bottle on his body and realized that Xu Zhaohua had come last night, he suddenly found that the blood stains on his body were desolate in his heart, looking around and no one's body was nearby, and there was no wound on his body when he touched it, until he returned to the tree where he woke up and saw a short knife, the knife wound left a dried blood stain, Sui Feng knew this knife, this is the knife that Xu Zhaohua used to defend himself.
Sui Feng immediately understood what was going on.
On the other side, Zhou Shengcuobai had no sleep, he seemed to have returned to the days when Xu Zhaohua sneaked into the Daduan Palace, Xu Zhaohua agreed with Zhou Shengcuobai before leaving this time that he would give him a book every half a day.
Zhou Sheng Cuobai waited until lunch, and he didn't wait for Xu Zhaohua's news, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and he couldn't read it, so he simply put it aside and didn't care about it, looking at the food in front of him, Zhou Sheng Cuobai didn't have the idea of eating it, and his heart had already followed Xu Zhaohua to the military camp in Daduan.
After about an hour, there was no news, Zhou Shengcuobai couldn't hold it back and began to pace around the room, Song, Zhubai persuaded him to eat something, and he barely swallowed some food, but he felt tasteless.
Xiao Su also learned the news that Xu Zhaohua went out this morning, but she didn't know where she went, after all, this was a military secret of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and she was not easy to ask as an outsider.
Just thinking about it, Xiao Feng suddenly saw a familiar figure coming out of the woods, she was very happy that the prince of Feng finally came out, but when Sui Feng walked in, she saw the blood on his body, and almost cried out in a hurry, Sui Feng walked over to her, and the first thing she said was to ask Xu Zhaohua's whereabouts, Xiao Su shook her head and said that she didn't know.
"Is there any injury on the prince's body?" Xiao Su asked.
Sui Feng shook his head and left, he just wanted to find out where Xu Zhaohua was now.
Zhou Sheng Cuobai on this side also sat in front of the window and looked at the sky, there was a group of swallows flying south, he had to stand up in a hurry, he was worried about whether it was because of the cold weather or the hunter's shooting that the pigeon was injured halfway, but the person who sent out to look for it at noon had come back and said that he did not see any traces of falling pigeons on the road, and he repeatedly asked the same answer.
There were a lot of people he sent out, and they were divided into several teams, and they searched almost every corner in the direction of Daduan and did not find any traces of pigeons, so there is only one possibility, that is, Xu Zhaohua did not pass the book to him at all, she has always been punctual, so there must have been something wrong in the military camp in Daduan.
Puff pastry is dangerous!
This is the conclusion reached by Zhou Sheng Cuobai, and at the same time, a guard came in to report: "Emperor Wan'an, the prince of Sui Feng in Daduan has asked for an audience." ”
Zhou Sheng Cuobai couldn't help but be a little curious when he heard Sui Feng wanting to see him in addition to his annoyance: "Oh? Declare! ”
After Sui Feng came in, Zhou Sheng Cuobai saw the blood stains on his body and had an ominous premonition: "What is the matter with the prince of Sui Feng looking for this emperor?" ”
"Where is Xu Zhaohua?" Sui Feng asked coldly.
Zhou Sheng Cuobai didn't speak, Sui Feng immediately knew that he didn't know, and then turned around and left, Zhou Sheng Cuobai clenched his fists, now he didn't have the heart to compete with Sui Feng, and then he had a good fight with him after he found Crispy, he wanted to prove to Sui Feng that Crispy only had himself in his heart, and he couldn't pretend to be a second person, so that he stopped daydreaming.
"Loose!"
Song heard Zhou Sheng Cuobai tell him to hurry in: "The subordinates are here."
"Hurry up and tell General Su that the emperor will go to the barracks immediately and personally lead the troops to the field!" Zhou Shengcuobai said.
He was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted: "Obey." ”
Immediately, the sound of horses' hooves outside also took away Zhou Sheng Cuobai's thoughts, his crispy crisp can't be hurt in the slightest now, if she has any three strengths and two weaknesses in Daduan's military camp, he will definitely use all his strength to destroy Daduan City, and now he can't bear the pain of losing Xu Zhaohua again!
Zhou Sheng Cuobai arrived at the Eastern Qi front line at the same time as the sound of horses' hooves, and at this moment he couldn't wait for a moment, after arriving at the destination, Zhou Sheng Cuobai inspected the situation of the Eastern Qi soldiers and saw that many soldiers were injured, but at this moment Zhou Sheng Cuobai had no intention of continuing to wait.
"Take a good rest recently, and when we wait for the next big end attack, we will no longer retreat and take the initiative to face the battle!" Zhou Sheng Cuobai ordered.
Su Mingtuo hesitated a little, but he still stopped, and it was very clear in the letter that Xu Zhaohua went to the Daduan military camp alone, and now his whereabouts are unknown, and the emperor has no way to do it when he is in a hurry.
Su Qinfeng is very supportive of Zhou Shengcuobai's approach, and it is a big deal to fight to the death with Daduan.
Came to the camp tent, Zhou Sheng Cuobai was in a daze at the map, Su Mingtuo walked in at this time and happened to see this scene: "Your Majesty, we are at the top of the mountain at this time, this is the only place where we have the first opportunity, the top of the mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, I'm afraid Sui Chen is afraid of this slow refusal to attack." ”
Zhou Sheng Cuobai nodded, he knew all this, what he was worried about at the moment was how to deal with the invulnerable soldiers at this time, and how to make Xu Zhaohua return to him exactly when attacking Daduan.
"Did General Su find any weaknesses in these sudden vision-stricken Daduan soldiers?" Zhou Shengcuo asked.
Su Mingtuo shook his head, he didn't know where the weaknesses of these soldiers were, he only cared about fighting on the battlefield and didn't have the leisure to find the weaknesses of those soldiers.
Seeing that Su Mingtuo didn't know, Zhou Sheng Cuobai fell into deep thought, since this was the case, then things would not be easy to do, they had to think of a way to stop these invulnerable people from continuing to move forward.
"Major General Xuansu." Zhou Shengcuobai said.
Soon after, Su Qinfeng also came here, Zhou Shengcuobai asked him the same question, Su Qinfeng thought about it and said with some uncertainty: "When I think about it, I found that those soldiers seemed to be very afraid of strong sunlight on the battlefield, but I am not sure if this is the case or just accidental." ”
