Chapter 57: Culpability

But where is this person at the moment?

Yun Yanzheng's face was gloomy, and his eyebrows were tight. She really didn't know if Gu Shezhi would be watery or not, and whether she could escape in the water, but she realized that everyone was being tricked by him along the way, and she inevitably had a lot of resentment and suspicion in her heart. also subconsciously thinks that he is very powerful, so strong that no matter what happens, he has the means to turn the crisis into safety, or even turn the tide. Her mood is extremely contradictory, not only jealous of his ability, but also very trusting of his ability.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have put him on the ship without thinking. In fact, he prepared a pivotal position to turn the tide.

Now, unexpectedly, the warship sank and the people were nowhere to be found......

was in such a fiery and anxious mood, but what was waiting for was a spy report that he was missing. Even waited for the return of the four hundred soldiers who were sunk and disappeared with him, and did not wait for any trace of him. The starry shadows of her subordinates searched and tracked everywhere, but they didn't get the slightest news about him, and this person seemed to have disappeared out of thin air the moment the Changyan River warship sank.

Ask the sergeant who was on the same ship at the time, how he returned safely.

Guard Lin Jun said: "Gu Junshi has already learned of the trick at the bottom of the boat, and when he arrived at Bibo Bay, we let a group of soldiers with the best water nature dive into the water with him at night to intercept and kill the water ghosts lurking in the river, and then changed clothes with them one by one, and changed them to the boat. ”

"We tightened the chains at the bottom of the ship and dragged the ship to Bibo Bay at an accelerated pace. Then Gu Junshi returned to the boat and changed Yun Shuai's clothes with me, so that we could gather the soldiers under the water to escape together before we reached Bibo Bay. But he deceived the eyes and ears of the enemy on the ship, until the ship was blown up and sunk by the enemy! ”

Lin Jun's voice said this, trembling slightly, and his handsome face was also a little pale.

Xu Wei couldn't help but said angrily: "Yun Shuai asked you to protect the safety of the military division, why are you greedy for life and afraid of death and only care about your own escape?" ”

Lin Jun anxiously retorted: "That's not the case! We refused to leave, but Gu Junshi said that Yun Shuai would hand us over to him, and he would save the lives of our 400 people. Now that the border city battle is imminent, the man should throw his head and spill his blood to defend his family and country, but he must not throw away his life here and die at the hands of rats and thieves. And...... And he said that only when we were all out of danger would he be able to deal with the enemy alone, and that he would no longer care. We have witnessed the amazing skills he showed in Kyoto and in the water, and we are even more untouched, and we cannot help but be convinced that he will be able to enter the water to protect himself in the end. ”

"And then?" Yun Yanzheng interrupted Lin Jun's somewhat repentant words and asked lightly.

Outside the lobby, more than 30 soldiers knelt in a neat and orderly manner, but they were silent.

In the lobby, the sunlight shining through the window, everyone's expressions are delicate.

Lin Jun glanced up at Yun Yanzheng, only to see that her beautiful face was indifferent, and she couldn't see her expression, but her face was red and white by Xu Wei's eyes, and she said in a low voice: "We tried our best to avoid the dangerous shoal, and when we swam into the river, the warship was already shining in the water. Later, when he almost reached the shore, there was a burst of explosion on the lake. By the time we had quietly reached the shore and looked back, the ship had toppled into the river. We hid in the shadows, and waited anxiously, seeing that the warship was completely submerged in the river, and finally even the fire was extinguished, and the enemy had dispersed, and we never waited for the figure of Gu Junshi! In order to avoid the enemy's round-up, we followed the instructions of the military advisor to go in batches, but after waiting and searching for several days, there was still no trace or news of Gu Junshi, guessing that he might have gone to Huicheng alone to join Yun Shuai, so we also quietly followed the road in batches to Huicheng to return to the camp......"

His voice grew lower and lower, almost bitter.

Others risked their lives, and they escaped safely, even without regard for their duties.

Lin Jun knelt on the ground with a "poof", and said bitterly: "My subordinates are derelict in their duties, and they are greedy for life and afraid of death, please Yunshuai military law to deal with me and give me death." However, the other brothers still want to help Yun Shuai guard the border city, and ask that they be allowed to make meritorious contributions and atone for their sins! He bowed his head heavily, and he apologized for his sins.

Then he took out a package from his pocket, opened the wrap and oiled paper, revealed two familiar porcelain bottles, and handed them to Xu Wei on the side with both hands. Lin Jun whispered like a brother's instructions, and said solemnly like a last word: "The military advisor entrusted me to deliver these two porcelain bottles to you, both of which are medicines to treat the old wounds on your waist. He told you to remember to apply and ask someone to follow the fingering techniques he taught you, so that you could recover quickly and move freely. ”

Xu Wei's lips and teeth were vain, and his fingers trembled slightly as he took over the pair of cold porcelain bottles. Lin Jun's crime is already a capital crime of disobeying military orders, but he has been a brother for many years, how can he bear to see him die like this, but how can he open his mouth to plead? There is no order in the army, and military orders cannot be violated, this is the gist of the march, and it is also their duty as soldiers to obey thoroughly. His face was pale, and he lowered his eyes to look at Lin Jun who was kneeling on the ground, and between his eyes, he only felt that his throat was difficult, and he couldn't speak. Just now, he blamed and scolded Lin Jun, firstly, he didn't believe that Lin Jun was a greedy person who was afraid of death, so he escaped alone; Second, I also wanted to take the opportunity to give Lin Jun a chance to explain.

Now, he is caught between a dilemma, and his words of plea can no longer be expressed. could only look at Yun Yanzheng sitting in the lobby, and his eyes couldn't help but faintly carry a thousand pleading.

Yun Yanzheng's face was cold, and his gaze swept over Lin Jun and Xu Wei like a knife and arrow. None of them dared to meet the cold glint in her eyes, and they all lowered their heads. After a long time, I heard her voice come from that distant place, with a majesty that could not be misunderstood: "The rest of the people have permission from the commander to escape for their lives in distress, but you must follow the military advisor closely, and now you have indeed committed this capital crime of dereliction of duty!" Now that the war is tight, instead of letting your blood splash the camp to make your relatives hurt and your enemies happy, it is better to send you to the bloody battlefield to repay your family and country. This is also the original intention of Gu Junshi to protect you from danger. And as the personal guards of the commander, you should lead by example, so you go down to each lead the army for fifty sticks, and after three days of recuperation, you will be ready to go to General Su Chengwen's subordinates to assist. After that, it is life or death, but it depends on your own ability, if you can save your life, then you will be rewarded! ”

"Yes!"

Lin Jun in the lobby and more than 30 guards kneeling together outside the hall all responded with a shout, all of which were the promises of hot-blooded men.

After Xu Wei and Lin Jun hugged each other and everyone retreated together, Yun Yanzheng sat alone in the Ming Hall, and his heart flocked to him. In the end, he smiled angrily, and the corners of his lips slightly outlined a bright smile like ice and charm. She has never been a bully, but this person is playing with her in the palm of his hand. In the palace, it is better to present a letter to the royal brother to change the medicine for her; It is also good to wade into danger on the Changyan River to support medicine; Whether it was planting chess pieces to assist the battle in Lu Cheng, all of this was planted in her heart day and night. Even though she suppressed it again and again, she still found that this seed sprouted uncontrollably in her heart, and gradually grew strong and grown, giving birth to an unusual kind of branches, leaves and flowers.

She was jealous of his intelligence and hated his intelligence, and was willing to be close, but could not help but be wary; She was both a monitor of his manners and a curiosity about his intentions; deliberately put him in danger, and couldn't help but care about his safety. She knows that this is by no means the love between men and women as everyone thinks, and it is different from the sympathy of chess opponents, nor is it the late meeting of confidants and friends, but a complex and indescribable emotional bond of mutual jealousy and hatred, and mutual killing.

Was he aware of her twisted thoughts in his heart? Therefore, she disappeared on the Changyan River and did not return for a long time, but she left all kinds of questions and speculations for her to think about?

He was a master at playing with people's minds, and even the people around her fell into the fishing nets he had laid one by one. She was the only one left sober and lonely to fight against the tide of the times. The funny thing is that she feels that she is powerless to resist such a stormy wave.

Yun Yanzheng let out a slow breath and reached out to rub his painful eyebrows. In the clear phoenix eyes on the pale and cold face, the resolute and decisive color once again appeared. The Yu army once again launched a full-scale war towards the Wei country, she couldn't be distracted at this moment, she consumed extra energy, and the faint pain on her left arm that had not stopped for several days, I don't know why?

She took the battle report on the case, and Wenyuan and Guhe in Suzhou City had also been at war for several days. Both of them are capable generals and resourceful figures under the commanders of both sides, and they are both proficient in the art of war. Now there are many battles in which there is no winner. Next, it only depends on how the coaches of both sides should arrange the battle situation of receiving and strrangling.

Helian Hongyu doesn't know if he has joined Qingyan at this moment? Is it possible to find a shortcut through the path provided by Gu Xi to sneak up on the back of the lockdown city? There are many strange mountains and mountains in that area, and the dense forests are obscure, I wonder if Helian Hongyu and his party can pass through safely? Will she be able to get to the predetermined direction safely and implement the plan she has set?

From the intelligence of the secret sentinel, it is known that there are frequent bandits in the Central Plains of the Ul Kingdom at this time. In addition to always resenting the invasion of the Yu State, more than that, he was dissatisfied and complained that the Wei State's own army was incapable of guarding its own city, so that the city fell into the Yu army. Not only are the officers and soldiers of the state government unable to protect the people from being violated, but now the army is attacking but is in a stalemate and is unable to counterattack the Yu army, sweeping it out of the territory of the Ul country in one fell swoop, so that the current Ul country has fallen into this situation of strong enemies and tigers outside, and wolves and bandits are rampant inside.

Yun Yanzheng suspected that the appearance of these bandits was not accidental, or someone deliberately did it. Only at the beginning of her expedition, she has been sending secret sentinels to monitor the movements of Kyoto and Jizhou. These days, it's been peaceful. But the bandits suddenly burst out in this calm, and it made people very confused.
