However, in just ten days, the two armies have fought several times, most of which ended in Yin Xia's disastrous defeat.

Su Qingyao worked hard for ten days, his physical strength was weak, and he knew that if it weren't for the other party's intention to be humble, the county would have been broken long ago.

They are not attacking the city, but attacking the heart, the successive defeats have made Yin Xia have already lost morale and the people's hearts, the victory or defeat has actually been seen, and now it is just a battle of trapped beasts.

And on the twelfth day, the county was broken, and Su Qingyao led his troops to retreat to Jicheng in a hurry.

The morale of the whole army was low, and some soldiers fled one after another, Su Qingyao ordered that the fugitives would be killed, so he could barely suppress this momentum, but unfortunately, it was not a long-term solution after all.

The soldier complained that he had no intention of fighting.

In the royal city, the pedantic people who sang and danced all day long finally sensed the crisis from the border pass and began to panic.

Above the court, the atmosphere became more and more stiff.

Su Qingluo's body was already weak, and he had not slept for a few days, but when the autumn wind just rose, he caught a cold, and the cold disease recurred, and he coughed continuously for several days, and his body deteriorated more and more.

In the cold East Palace, Su Qingluo leaned back in his chair, listening to Su Qingqian report on the battle situation at the border, he was angry for a while, and coughed again and again, Su Qingluo hurriedly patted his back, Su Qingluo waved his hand, coughed for a while, his pale face turned red, and finally stopped.

Su Qingqian said: "This Yu Sheng is really a strange person, these battles have been fought so smoothly, how can a person as arrogant as the second brother withstand such a blow?" ”

Su Qingluo took a sip of tea, but felt bitter in his throat, "Ah Yaosu is self-defeating, and he should also be allowed to sharpen his sharpness." ”

"But my brother's move is too dangerous, and now the people's hearts are shaken, and Yin Xia's foundation is unstable, can he really put it to death and live in the future?"

"Today's situation has far exceeded my expectations, I'm afraid even Chengye couldn't have imagined that Dongyan would have such a capable person." He suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Chengye hasn't arrived at the barracks yet, right?" ”

"No, now he is still using the name of Lan Ruoxuan to travel with Princess Yue outside."

"The night has not yet arrived, which means that the map has not yet arrived at the barracks?"

"Maybe he handed it over to Yu Sheng, but I don't know? Otherwise, how could Yu Sheng break through three cities in a row, like divine help? ”

"No, a person who is so cautious will never give the map to someone else, let alone someone he has never met?"

Su Qingluo pondered: "Before the night comes, Dongyan has broken my three cities, if the night arrives......" He coughed twice, "It seems that I underestimated Dongyan?" ”

"So what are we going to do? Just sit back and wait? ”

"Naturally not. Yu Sheng is the son of Yu Xin, and he inherited Yu Xin, and the only one in the world who can match Yu Xin is Shen Ji. ”

"What does my brother mean is to let Marquis Yu go to the battlefield in person?"

Su Qingluo nodded, "Shen Ji's talent, the world knows it, if he is willing to go to the battlefield in person, he will definitely be able to appease the people and boost morale." ”

The two went to Yuhou Mansion that day, but Shen Ji was not there, so they went to the Ming Wangfu to find Su Shenyu, and the two went to the Ming Wangfu.

Recently, the border war has been tight, Su Qingluo's mood has always been bad, and the time to set foot in the Ming Palace's mansion is less, even if he comes, he will not stay for long. Su Shenyu occasionally saw him, and he looked in a hurry. It's a little strange to see him come with Su Qingqian today.

After the two of them understood their intentions and analyzed the current situation, Shen Ji also nodded.

At this time, Su Shenyu said: "If the master wants to go, then I will go too." ”

"Nonsense, that's a battlefield, how can you be allowed to play!" Shen Jidao.

Su Qingqian was about to agree, but Su Qingluo said, "Let her go." Put her by my side, I'm afraid my husband can't rest assured. ”

Shen Ji thought about it, he had already abandoned her once, how could he not let her stay alone in the land of right and wrong,

So I had to agree.

On the evening of the second day, Su Qingluo held a small banquet for Shen Ji to practice for him.

In the early morning of the third day, Su Qingluo arranged a carriage for them and also arranged guards to escort them away.

Before leaving the city, Su Qingluo and Su Qingyu came to see them off, and Su Qingyu also followed, reluctantly pulling Su Shenyu's sleeve and refusing to let her go, pitiful, tears were about to fall.

Su Qingqian touched his head and comforted: "It's not that you won't come back, what are you crying about, a manly man, how can you cry casually?" ”

Su Qingyu cried even more fiercely, "I heard my master say that a few people came back to fight in ancient times, and the battlefield was so dangerous, can my sister not go?" Is it okay to stay with Ayu? ”

Su Shenyu didn't know how to comfort him for a while, but Su Qingyu relieved the siege and said, "Your sister Shenyu is not going to fight, so don't worry too much." ”

Li Qiu arched his hand, "Your Highness, don't worry, with me, it will be fine." ”

Su Shenyu hugged him, "Ah Yu is good, my sister will be back soon, how can my sister be willing to leave you." ”

Su Qingyu snorted, "Really? Really coming back soon? ”

"Of course it's true." The two of them learned from the children and hooked again, so Ah Yu didn't make trouble.

Twenty miles away from the city, looking at the city gate that was getting smaller and more blurred, Su Shenyu thought that she would never come back in her life.

Yuyu Chonglou, after all, is just a dream, she has never belonged to this place.

As for Ah Yu, she is about to break her promise.

Rong Yuan looked at her a little melancholy, and asked her, "The county lord is reluctant to leave?" ”

She shook her head, smiled slightly, and said, "No." ”

Shen Ji thought that she was worried about the danger of the battlefield and the uncertain future, shook her hand and said, "Don't worry, the master is here." ”

She smiled and approached his arms, feeling grounded in her heart. She thought, although the world is big, she is only him. He alone, it's enough.

When I arrived in Jiangzhou, it was dusk a day later, different from when I came, now it is autumn, and it has rained some time ago, the river breeze is too cool, and standing on the shore is like a cold winter.

A group of eight people, including eight guards, hired a small boat and sailed downstream.

That night, the moon rose in the middle of the sky, and there was silence on all sides, except for the boatman and the guards who kept vigil, and the rest of the people fell asleep. Suddenly, the sound of the waves arose, and the guards were unaware at first, until the hull of the ship was turbulent and someone broke out of the cold water, and they were shocked to wake everyone up, and hurriedly woke everyone up.

However, it was too late, and the Assassin killed the boatman and one of the guards, and the blood boiled on the river for a while, and the moonlight in the water was dyed red.

A fight to the death begins.

There were many people on the opposite side, the origin was unknown, the hull was narrow, they were surrounded in the middle, they could not be used, and they were at a disadvantage at all.

Rong Yuan doesn't know martial arts, although Su Shenyu has studied with Li Qiu for a few days, he can only do a little bit of fur, and he can't parry such an attack at all, so he can only hide behind them. They were outnumbered, and naturally fought a little hard.

Those assassins were very good at water, and every time they were about to hit, they slipped into the water, and then suddenly burst out, like fish, and could not catch them at all.

Su Shenyu hid behind, looking at the sword light and sword shadow, his eyes were shook, and he was flustered, so he could only hold on to Rong Yuan. When it was, a knife light suddenly came, and she pulled Rong Yuan and hurriedly ran back, only to run two steps, and was intercepted by the person in front of her.

Seeing that the blade was about to slash in front of her, she remembered what Li Qiu had taught her, and hurriedly pushed Rong Kite out, while she quickly became shorter, and staggered the distance from the assassin, but it was just a little delay, the assassin's movements were faster than her, and in the blink of an eye, he was forced up.

Fortunately, Li Qiu's eyes were sharp, and he hurriedly helped her block it, and the sword rubbed, and with a "stab" sound, a string of sparks was rubbed, and Su Shenyu breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, the body was pushed violently, and the whole person fell to the ground with Rong Kite, and when she came back to her senses and looked again, Shen Ji pressed on her, and she was hit by an arrow in her left arm, which was bleeding.

Su Shenyu immediately panicked, at a loss, and said incoherently: "Master, are you okay?" As soon as the words fell, a few more arrows flew in, Shen Ji's eyes were quick, he pulled her to roll on the spot a few times, avoided the arrows, and hurriedly picked up a wooden plank to block the front.

The arrow had come from another ship not far away, and the Assassins were supposed to have come by boat, and only jumped into the water when they got closer, where they were taken by surprise.

After fighting for a long time, everyone also saw that the assassin was coming for Su Shenyu.

But who would have a grudge against a little girl?

Seeing that there were more and more arrows, like a torrential rain, some of the guards had already been injured, and they were still struggling to hold on, Su Shenyu was protected by Shen Ji, looking at the situation, he was heartbroken, picked up an arrow in his hand, pushed Shen Ji to get up and ran out, Shen Ji was about to call her, but saw her piercing an arrow on one of the assassins, and blood stained her hands in an instant.

The assassin was caught off guard, and as soon as he turned his head, he was about to raise his sword and slash her, but she dragged him down. The center of gravity was unstable for a while, and with a "poof", both of them fell into the water.

This move stunned everyone present.

The water splashed and the moonlight was boundless.

The Assassin didn't think much of it, and immediately changed direction, and the arrows shot into the water. Shen Ji watched the chaotic arrows rain down, and he was so anxious that he jumped into the water as well.

The guards had time to kill a few people in a hurry, and they also jumped into the water to find someone.

Under the moonlight, red blood soon floated up on the surface of the river, and the assassin was not reconciled, and shot countless arrows in succession, and even stabbed the knife in his hand into the water. For a while, there was no movement. He withdrew his hand and left by boat.
