The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone.

The wind was blowing noisily, and the sunlight in the east reflected the battlefield behind Chu Ying.

The desert was lonely, and Chu Ying, the king of Jiangling, led 100,000 horses to be placed in Songshan to pacify the Chuyan war. Under the bloody sun, Chu Ying was dressed in a red robe, and the wind god was handsome. The soldiers behind him looked solemn, and their eyes were determined to see death as if they were home. At that moment, the sunset was shining, and the army of the Yan Kingdom was opposite. Yan Wang Yuanyi sat on the horse and drove the expedition in person. The armies of both sides stood there in silence with each other, and the dark tide surged, one after the other, and it was only at this moment of opportunity that it could swallow everything.

Chu Ying looked at this solemn everything and tightly grasped the long sword in his hand. A sharp arrow suddenly slashed through the air, and immediately after, hundreds of sword feathers shot in unison. Tens of thousands of soldiers rushed forward with shouts, and in an instant, swords were like light, and blood flowed like rivers. Chu Ying rode away and immediately became submerged in the magnificent battlefield.

Zhou Chuan saw Chu Ying rushing in the direction of Yan Wang Yuanyi, and there were hundreds of cavalry behind Yan Wang ready to attack, Zhou Chuan immediately came to his senses and shouted loudly, "Cover the prince-"

Heaven and earth, a slaughter. The wind winds around the valley, and the hollow valley transmits. Zhou Chuan looked at more and more people who fell in front of him, and the remnant sun was like blood, reflecting the whole land.

The battle between the two sides was fierce, and the Yan army saw that the general situation was not good, so they quickly dispatched reinforcements to guard the siege of Songshan and besiege Chu Ying's army.

Chu Ying's knuckles holding the long sword had turned white, he clenched the reins, single-handedly, and stood out of the encirclement with lightning speed, and before everyone could react, a Xueliang long sword had already been placed under the throat of Yuan He, the general of the Yan Kingdom.

Won Hyuk's face turned pale, and he looked at the group of soldiers in front of him who were brandishing knives and guns, but they were all standing still, and shouted in a hissing voice, "What are you still doing in a daze?!" Leave this king alone, kill him! ”

None of the soldiers on the left and right dared to rush up, Yuan Yi's face was pale, and there were faint green tendons on his forehead, he looked at Chu Ying, faintly with a blade out of the sheath, "Let my brother go, I'll give you a way out." ”

Chu Ying held his sword and coerced Yuan He, and said calmly, "The general is now in my hands, if the people of your Yan Kingdom dare to make a move, I will kill him immediately!" ”

"You dare!"

The strength in Chu Ying's hand was even closer, "What does King Yan think?" ”

Zhou Chuan and the others were behind Chu Ying, swords rattling, ready to fight to the death at any time.

Yuan Yi glared angrily, "What do you want?" ”

"I want you to quit."

Yuan Yi's face became more and more ugly, as if he was holding back great anger, he raised his hand and shouted, "Retreat!" ”

"Third brother! Can't listen to him! Yuan He gripped the blade of the sword hard, wanting to slash it at his neck, but Chu Ying choked him fiercely, Yuan He's face turned red, but he could only watch Yan Jun retreat all the way.

Chu Ying's eyes swept away, and Zhou Chuan immediately understood, and led his troops to break out of the encirclement. When the army of Chu State withdrew, Yuan Yi saw that his younger brother was already safe, so he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, Huo Ran raised his voice outward, "Release the arrow!" ”

Chu Ying brought soldiers and horses to protect the last, Zhou Chuan had just evacuated, but suddenly saw an ambush of infantry on the top of the mountain not far away, they were holding bows and arrows, and they all aimed in the direction of Chu Ying.

"Lord, danger—"

In an instant, a flock of chaffinchs spread their wings and flew high, and the sound of flapping their wings resounded through the valley. The finch flew by, and the sky and the earth seemed to suddenly darken.

In the battle of Songshan, the prince was seriously injured.

Chu Ying was lying on the makeshift wooden couch, he opened his eyes slightly, and saw a group of people in front of him busy all the time. He had lost most of his consciousness, and he only felt that blood was pouring out of his body, but he was so numb that he couldn't feel the pain.

Broken swords were pulled out of his legs, and he was drugged again, and he only felt that his consciousness was getting more and more blurred, and his eyes were also hazy.

Zhou Chuan looked at the puddles of black blood on the ground, his heart was sour, but in a blink of an eye, he saw the movements of the military doctor Li Yuanhua slowly swallowing, and couldn't help but be annoyed, "What's the matter with you!" Delayed the prince's injury, can you afford to be guilty?! ”

Li Yuanhua was frightened, and immediately fell to the ground and said, "General Zhou, it's not that you don't do your best, it's that there are not many herbs and materials here......

Zhou Chuan's face turned pale for a while, he clenched his fists, and said sharply, "It's important to save the prince first!" If something happens to the prince, General Ben will pay for your life! ”

"Yes, yes......" Li Yuanhua was so frightened that he was dripping in cold sweat, and hurriedly walked to the prince's side.

Chu Ying half-closed his eyes and listened to the conversation between the two to his ears, his arm moved slightly, Zhou Chuan immediately stepped forward, lowered his voice a little and said, "Lord Wang, you are awake." ”

Chu Ying frowned slightly, his lips moved, but he couldn't say a word. He tried to move, but found that his legs were completely unconscious.

After a long time, he opened his lips slightly, but his breath was extremely weak, "You guys don't care about me, I'm like this now, it will only drag you all down." ”

Zhou Chuan shook his head with difficulty, "The prince is the general of our Chu State, and all of us can't do without a commander. ”

"I can't go to the battlefield, and it's a burden to follow you." Chu Ying frowned slightly, and said forcefully, "I'm not here, Zhou Chuan, you are the boss, you must lead the Chu army and attack the Yan Kingdom." ”

Zhou Chuan's eyes were red, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, "Our best military doctors are here, and the prince will be fine." ”

As he spoke, he pushed Li Yuanhua forward.

Chu Ying raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Yuanhua, and said slowly, "This king is too seriously injured, it doesn't matter if he can't be cured or not, you can go and see the others." ”

Li Yuanhua was startled when he heard this, and said hesitantly, "Lord Wang, this ......"

Zhou Chuan was frightened in his heart, he knew that he couldn't contradict the prince at this time, so he said, "Let Li Yuanhua treat the prince's injuries first, and there are other people watching the soldiers on the side." ”

Chu Ying's eyebrows furrowed tightly, he covered the wound on his leg hard, and shouted, "The military order is like a mountain, whatever this king says, do it quickly!" ”

Zhou Chuan stood in embarrassment, so he had to break away from Li Yuanhua first, stay in the camp tent by himself, and said silently, "Then my subordinates let other military doctors treat your injuries......

"No need." Chu Ying closed his eyes heavily, "You go out too." No one is allowed to come in without the king's command. ”

"Lord ......"

"Get out."

Although Zhou Chuan hesitated, the military order was like a mountain, so he had to quietly retreat outside the camp.

And so the night passed.

In the middle of the night, Yan Jun's grain and grass suddenly caught fire. The monstrous light of the fire suddenly reflected the entire summit of Songshan Mountain.

Zhou Chuan was woken up by a loud noise, and the soldiers who came to report almost cried with joy, "General! The granary of the Yan Kingdom is on fire! ”

Zhou Chuan was overjoyed, and immediately said, "Go and tell the prince!" ”

After a while, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and the visitor almost forgot the rules, and fell to his knees at once.

"General...... Rajah...... The prince is gone......"

There was a loud rumble in Zhou Chuan's head, and he followed the soldiers out of the camp tent, watching the flames in the sky scorching and illuminating half of the sky.

His hands were secretly clenched into fists, and tears flowed from his eyes. Those tears can't tell whether they are joy or sorrow.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why Yan Jun's grain and grass warehouse was on fire for no reason.

Songshan was victorious, but Chu Ying's whereabouts were unknown, and the only thing he took away was the long sword he wore all year round.

The soldier kneeling at the bottom trembled and asked in a trembling voice, "General Zhou, can you ...... But you have to tell the emperor......"

Zhou Chuan covered his face with his hands and wiped away a trace of tears from his eyes, "The emperor always knows." ”

In November of the sixteenth year of Yongchang, the soldiers on the border quickly sent a letter to the capital.

Chu Luo had just received the news of the victory in Songshan, and before he had time to entertain the soldiers, he learned the bad news that King Jiangling was seriously injured and missing.

Chu Luo's face deteriorated rapidly, and the hands holding the letter trembled uncontrollably, "King Jiangling was seriously injured and died, this ...... What does this mean......"

The soldier at the head of the head looked complicated and indescribable, and said in a deep voice, "When the prince led his troops to break through, he was ambushed by the enemy, and he was hit by several arrows, and his whereabouts are ......unknown."

"Make it clear to me! It's good, how can it be missing! Chu Luo's eyes flashed with deep pain, and his eyes sank minute by minute, "Send someone to find it immediately!" Whatever method you use, be sure to find someone! ”

With just this sentence, Chang'an was on the verge of fainting. She stood up with Wan Xiang's hand and quietly retreated from behind Chu Luo, with every step she took, she felt that she was standing on the blade of a knife, and there was a pain to the bone. Tears poured out of her eyes uncontrollably, and one of her hearts almost plummeted to the bottom, with no power to turn back.

Missing in such a place, there is only a glimmer of hope for survival.

Chang'an sat down on the ground, and there was a suffocating pain in his heart.

Late at night, there was silence in Taoyao Palace.

Chang'an held the white jade pendant in her hand, her nails scratched the table again and again, and there was a piercing sound, she closed her eyes for a moment, and tears finally fell.

Wanxiang quietly walked in, and Chang'an saw her coming, and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"What's the matter?"

Wan Xiang was silent for a moment, and then said slowly, "Master, the news from Concubine De Niangniang's side says that General Zhou has sent people to garrison Songshan and is looking for the prince. ”

Chang'an raised his eyes slightly, wanting to speak, but his eyes turned red first, "Is there any news?" ”

Wanxiang shook her head silently, "Not yet." ”

Chang'an's heart was cold, and the strength of holding the jade pendant in his hand involuntarily increased a little, "Is he still alive?" ”

Wan Xiang's eyes were sour, and she said with relief, "Don't worry, Niangniang, Wang Yeji has his own natural appearance, and he will be safe and sound." ”

A bright spark suddenly burst out in the wick of the candle in front of the table, and it was instantly eclipsed. Chang looked at it quietly, and before he knew it, tears hazy his eyes.

Chu Ying is a person who is destined to live and die for the country.

When he walked out of Taoyao Palace that day and looked back at her, she knew that he was going out with an attitude of seeing death as home.

She could understand him, but she couldn't help but be sad.

Whether it is life or death, Chang'an has a faint premonition that Chu Ying will probably not come back.

In this world, she is really the only one left.
