Chapter 129: Yan You Meets, Talks Before the War
Funan City, Qingyan and the others are still frowning around the portrait, thinking that even if it will be a little difficult to find General Jianwei here, there must be traces to be found, but now there are traces, but he has become a Jiangyang thief, although Nangong Shi is in a disgraceful role in this war, but after all, he is an official, and the people do not fight with the officials, not to mention that the external enemy has not retreated, and the internal worries have not decreased, at this time, for the people, being alive is the most important thing, so in this search, without much thought, you can be sure, The people of the whole city will stand by Nangong Shi's side, so it is impossible for General Jianwei to show up at all.
"Zhuge , you and Lu You find a way to inquire about the movements of Annan Kingdom to see if they are going to attack the city again, and if so, it means that he has really entered the city." After pondering for a long time, Qingyan Fang spoke.
"Does that mean it's easier for us to find him?" Although Lu You didn't know who this person was, he could see from the expressions of the three of them that he was by no means a Jiangyang thief, and he might be the key person to save Funan.
"Then it depends on whether the people of the whole city cooperate." Qingyan thought silently, if his identity was disseminated, there would be a few people who believed that there would be a few people who were willing to stand behind him and fight for that insignificant chance of victory.
"Lu You, are there any places in the city where people can be hidden? Like temples or something. ”
"There is a Guandi temple in the east of the city, and the incense is flourishing on weekdays, but now the outside is worried about internal troubles, and I heard that the temple Zhu and others inside have fled one after another; There is a land temple in the west of the city that has been deserted for a long time, in the past it was a gathering place for beggars, now there is a flood in Guangling, although the disaster in Funan is relatively small, but the people outside the north city gate have all lost their houses, I heard that part of the people who survived went to the east of the city, and part of them went to the west of the city. ”
"Young Master, where do you go first?" Qingping was a little impatient as long as he thought of the current situation.
"Let's go to the west of the city first, you go to inquire about the news, no matter what the result is, you will come back here in half an hour, if you don't find him, I'm afraid that you will have to think of another way at that time."
She took the lead in pushing open the door and disappeared into the darkness, Qingping didn't dare to slack off, followed closely, Lu You and Zhuge Rui glanced at each other, walked out quickly, and went straight to the south gate.
A hundred miles away from Funan City, Ling Shan's driving speed continued unabated, Yi Han and Yi Xuan, who were guarding the car to take care of the prince, were both top-heavy, Huo Dao sat firmly like a mountain, looking at the prince lying in the thick quilt without too much discomfort, and his ugly face finally eased a lot.
"What the hell are you anxious about? Guangling to Funan is a one-day trip at most, and it will be too late to speed up a little, you are driving so fast, what should you be guilty of if you hurt the prince? Zhang Li was not the one who could bear it, he rode on horseback and shouted angrily.
Ling Shan didn't even look at him, he only whipped the horse again, and suddenly the carriage was like an arrow from the string, instantly rushing out in front of him.
"You!"
"Say no more! At this time, it was wartime, and Zhenyu Junjun had already arrived in Funan City, and she should be anxious for public and private. Cheng Feng said silently, grabbed the horse's belly, and chased after the carriage in the distance.
Zhang Li looked at his back, finally swallowed back the words that came to him, and followed behind Ling Shan without complaining.
Funan City Guandi Temple
Chang Tianyou, dressed in a black robe, sat on the beams of the main hall, looking at all the people below who came to take refuge, holding a portrait in his hand, without thinking too much, he knew that it was his own.
Thinking of this, he felt extremely aggrieved, obviously he came to help, in order to protect the territory and the people, he even did something to cut first and then play, but Nangong Shi not only did not appreciate it, but also let him break off alone, if he was not skilled, how could he rush out in the midst of thousands of troops? But even so, he was seriously injured, and at this time, the old injury recurred, and he almost died in Huangquan.
Finally escaped, and saw that Funan was in danger, in desperation, he went out to fight with injuries, broke into the Annan military camp alone, burned most of the grain and grass, so that he had to temporarily retreat, waiting for the grain and grass at the same time, he also launched a pursuit of him, and only after several lives and deaths did he enter Funan City, avoiding the pursuit of Annan, but this injury also reached the point where it must be treated.
However, at that time, he was penniless, and it was wartime, so he didn't dare to go to the hospital with his injuries, for fear of causing unnecessary panic, so he thought of going to the Shouwei Mansion, just thinking of Nangong Shi's personality, he was afraid that he would be slashed by the other party as soon as he appeared, so he visited the government at night, stole a lot of medicinal materials, and stole a lot of supplements. After that, rumors spread that he was a Jiangyang thief, and portraits of him wanted were posted all over the city.
And this is not enough, even he can't help but sigh that Nangong Shi's shamelessness has reached the point of indignation between people and gods.
"Mother, I'm so hungry!"
Suddenly, there was a faint immature voice, and when he looked down, he saw a little girl of seven or eight years old, with chapped lips, lying weakly in a woman's arms, and the eyes that longed for food deeply moved him.
I couldn't help but scold Nangong Shi's greed, and it was just enough to occupy Funan City, but he took away most of the food of the people in the city for military use, and distributed steamed buns and gruel at noon every day, and it was extremely scarce, and it was impossible for everyone to receive food, which made the people who were already in a disaster year even more miserable.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the burden in his hand, there were still ten steamed buns in it, but there were twenty people in the hall, and each person could only get half of it, but it was better than nothing, but in this way, he couldn't stay here.
Walking out of the Guandi Temple, he looked at the starry night sky, thought of the surprised eyes of those people, and reluctantly jumped into the darkness, and after a while, a barren land temple appeared in front of him. It's just that before he walked in, he was attracted by a petite figure.
Although he was wearing men's clothes, although it was only his back, he still recognized it at a glance that it was Zhenyu Junjun - Qingyan.
How did she end up here? What is she looking for? How dare she come here when it's so dangerous? Thinking of this, a nameless fire burned from his chest, and his calm eyes exuded a devouring cold aura, which made Qingping stagnate, and Qingyan was a direct victim, his petite body trembled, turned around quickly, and almost instantly saw him standing on the roof.
"He's really here!" She was overjoyed, trotted to Qingping's side, whispered, and pulled down the latter's sleeve, and the two left here one after another, all the way to Lu You's house, and stopped.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, doesn't the general plan to catch up with the prince of this county?" She smiled, not hiding the joy of being reunited with him.
"General Ben underestimated you, and dared to come here alone, do you know that this place is at the heart of the war? Do you know what Nangong Shi's intentions are? Do you remember being a woman? Chang Tianyou walked out of the darkness step by step, and every time she said a word, the cold on her body became a little heavier, but she was unmoved, and still smiled and welcomed people.
"I don't know when the general cared so much about me?" She tilted her head, looked at his handsome features, and thought very happily: If you find him, there will be another fight.
"Humph! General Ben is afraid that you will cause trouble! His eyes narrowed slightly, and his words were sarcastic.
"You!" Qingping heard this, he couldn't bear it, but he didn't want to say it before he could say it, and he was stopped by his master.
"General, don't fight with me with your tongue, don't you want to beat the Annan country to the ground? Don't you want to punish Nangong Shi? ”
"What do you want to say?"
"At dawn, the prince will definitely arrive, and around the end of the day, there will be a thousand reinforcements, plus the defenders in the original city, can you be sure that you will hold this Funan City for three days?"
"You found the prince?"
"Not bad!"
"Have you arranged the reinforcements as well?"
"Not bad!"
"If so, not for three days, but for seven days!" He clenched his fists, and his long, narrow phoenix eyes burst with a dazzling light.
Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief, walked to his side step by step, and looked at the night sky in the south with his gaze: "It seems that I really didn't see the wrong person!" ”
"General Ben is wrong about you, you can't do martial arts, and as a daughter, you dare to come here with a guard, you know that you have the world in mind and worry about the people, but if you don't know, I think you love General Ben, so I chased here desperately."
She was greatly surprised, she had never thought about it in this regard, and now when she heard him, she somehow felt a sense of emptiness, and then she felt that her face was like fire, and it was scary, but fortunately, it was night, and she could still calm down: "The general is too worried!" ”
"Last night, we learned that Nangong Shi blocked all the news, and there was no way to spread the military information at the border pass, except for the people who fled before, no one left the city after that, but anyone who wanted to go out of the city was killed, if you didn't come this time, I'm afraid that something really would happen." He thought about it with trepidation, and when he looked at her again, he said with gratitude.
"Is there such a thing? I said how come it is that he has only met a small number of refugees, and it turns out that he is the one who is doing it, but what good is it for him to do so? Is it possible? ”
"Well, he collaborated with the enemy and reached an agreement with him, as long as he let him go, Annan will never touch a single grass and tree in the city, and then he will enclose the land as king."
"That straw bale, how dare he?" She was taken aback.
"Yes! It's obviously a straw bag, but he has to be a hero! He chuckled.
"Does that mean that if we don't move, Annan won't send troops?"
"No, at the latest, Annan will definitely attack the city."
"Why? Aren't they all already agreed? ”
"Because he didn't fulfill the only request made by Annan." He turned his head to look at her, even in the darkness before dawn, those peach blossom eyes were still bright and moving, and he thought that maybe he really had to lose his trust to the little chubby girl.
"Requirements? It can't be you, right? She looked down in thought, then looked at him with wide eyes in disbelief.
"I burned most of the grain and grass in Annan, this is tantamount to a fatal blow to them, you must know that it takes a lot of time for their country to collect these grains and grass, if they don't break through Zhennan Pass this time, with my single move, they will retreat without a fight." He was full of energy, and when he mentioned this matter in front of her, he actually faintly showed off.
Hearing this, she looked at him in surprise, this appearance successfully satisfied his vanity, but she didn't know, what she thought was that she was first broken alone, and then broke into the enemy camp alone.
"Young master, it's not good! Annan has sent troops! ”
Thinking of this, the courtyard door was vigorously pushed open, Zhuge Rui rushed in, roaring loudly, Lu You followed closely, gasping for breath, but he was directly stunned the moment he saw Chang Tianyou.
