Chapter 39: The Bright Sword
"Your Highness, Dongyuan City has been lost! Five days ago, the two grandmasters of Cai Guo made a move, the Taiwei and the general Wang were defeated, the city gate was broken, and the fierce battle lasted for a night, our side suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and the army was defeated and retreated. ”
"Now the army has retreated to the westernmost part of Dongyuan County, Guyuan City, and the reinforcements from all over the country have gathered to block the pace of Cai's army, and both sides are currently repairing, and the war may continue to break out at any time. ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince Regent issued a solicitation order, calling on all the strong and martial artists in Jingguo to go to Guyuan City to gather, and those who have made great contributions can be crowned as a military marquis!"
“......”
Li Yunyi returned to the General's Mansion, and Chen Zheng came to report as soon as possible. Li Yunyi opened the map and watched quietly, without speaking. Chen Zheng thought for a while and said: "Your Highness, the military situation is urgent, Jingguo is in danger, when will we send troops......?
Li Yunyi glanced over, his eyes were cold, Chen Zheng's body trembled, and he hurriedly bowed down.
Li Yunyi said coldly: "General Chen, are you teaching this king to do things? You can't do your own mess of things, the military situation five days ago, you only came to pass the situation when this king came back? The situation in Tiannan County, as well as the situation in the nearby cities, can you investigate the situation in the Huya Pass? If you can't do it well, this king can arrange for others to do it." ”
"Plop!"
Li Yunyi's voice was not too loud, but Chen Zheng was so frightened that he knelt down on his knees, and his back felt cold, and he said in a loud voice: "Your Highness, the last general will know your mistake, please give me another chance." ”
Li Yunyi didn't speak, nor did he let Chen Zheng get up, he continued to look at the map, flipping through the information that Chen Zheng handed in. When he turned to the last piece of paper, his face was gloomy again, and he said, "Why didn't you say anything about this letter just now?"
There is a letter under the information, which reads "His Royal Highness King Yi personally opened", but Chen Zheng did not report it just now, if Li Yunyi hadn't read it, it is estimated that it would have been missed. Chen Zheng glanced up and explained: "Your Highness, this letter is of unknown origin, it suddenly appeared in your study, and I want to report to you later......
"Humph!"
Li Yunyi snorted coldly, and opened the letter directly, only a few words were written on the letter: My dear Xiao Yiyi, I am very happy that you can come back alive, the situation is very bad, you find a way to rush to Chujing as soon as possible, if you need help, please find the shopkeeper of Fengyun Inn - the most handsome son in Jingcheng.
Seeing the familiar notes and the familiar tone, a smile appeared on Li Yunyi's gloomy face. He read it a few times in a daze, then picked up a pen and paper, wrote a paragraph, sealed it in an envelope, handed it to Chen Zheng and said, "Send this letter to the shopkeeper of Fengyun Inn, and tell them about their son-in-law." ”
"Whoa!"
Chen Zheng hurriedly went down with the letter, Xiao Anzi came over curiously, glanced at the letter a few times, and said, "Is it the letter from the son of Wu Prison?"
"Who else but him is so sassy?"
Li Yunyi nodded, and then sighed slightly: "These generals in Huya Pass are all ordinary generals, and it is okay to lead troops to fight, but it is still far from doing intelligence." It would be nice if Wu Ji was willing to come over to help me, but he would definitely not let him leave Jingcheng. ”
Xiao Anzi said disapprerovingly: "Wu Gongzi is a gentleman, and the slave heard that he hooked up with the wives and concubines of those officials in Jingcheng all day long. If his father wasn't the head of the Black Dragon Stage, he would have died a long time ago, I don't know how many times, what could he help his master?"
"Huh!"
Li Yunyi touched Xiao Anzi's head and said, "Don't underestimate our young master of the black chicken, don't look at him playing with women every day." His father is the head of the Black Dragon Terrace, and he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and his ability in intelligence is innate. And his father said it himself, this kid's talent in intelligence surpasses him. If this kid is willing to do it, his ability will surpass Chen Zheng by a hundred times. ”
"So powerful?"
Xiao Anzi's mouth opened slightly, he clenched his little fists and said, "The slave must work hard, and he will also help the master in the future." ”
"Hahaha!"
Li Yunyi laughed, and Xiong Jun asked to see him outside at this moment, and Li Yunyi asked him to come in. After Xiong Jun saluted, he said with an excited face: "Your Highness, guess what I found?"
Li Yunyi glanced at him, Xiong Jun didn't dare to sell Guanzi, he said: "Your Highness, didn't I mention that little Dao Gu to you before? Xiao Dao Gu who helped us twice, she entered the city, and now she is outside the General's Mansion. But when I let her in, she didn't want to, and she squatted alone beside the stone lion at the door, looking so pitiful. ”
Li Yunyi's eyes turned cold, Xiao Anzi's eyes lit up when he heard about Xiao Daogu, but after glancing at Li Yunyi's face, he didn't dare to speak.
"Your Highness, this little Dao Gu is a master of the Nine Grades, we should be a corporal of Lixian, or you ......"
Xiong Jun was still talking there, Li Yunyi's face sank, and he said: "Xiong Jun, are you too idle to do? If you are really idle, then the king of Ben appointed you as the generalissimo of Pingcai, and he will send you on the expedition now." ”
"Uh......"
Xiong Jun was stunned, glanced at Li Yunyi's face, and quickly closed his mouth. He touched his head, and he didn't understand why Li Yunyi was like this, but he knew each other very well, and said with a dry smile: "Your Highness, don't be angry, the last general is not idle, the last general suddenly remembered that there was one more thing that had not been dealt with, and the last general left first." ”
Xiong Jun hurriedly retreated, and Li Yunyi waved his hand and said, "Xiao Anzi, let Commander Lin prepare the medicinal powder, I want a medicinal bath." ”
Xiao Anzi got busy, and after half an hour it was ready, Li Yunyi took a medicinal bath, pricked his legs with needles, and then he retreated and practiced alone in bed. He will cultivate for a while on the road, and during this time, the Qi Sea Treasure Acupoint has become a lot bigger, but there is still a distance from the requirements of the gods and demons, and he must practice diligently.
Xiao Anzi waited for Li Yunyi to cultivate, and then sneaked out of the General's Mansion. He really found the little Dao Gu outside the gate of the General's Mansion, but there were no sergeants nearby. The two sergeants guarding the door just glanced at Xiao Daogu a few times, and Xiao Anzi came out and hurriedly did not squint.
Xiong Jun should have asked Li Yunyi's personal guards to inquire about something, and he specially explained it, but the sergeants didn't dare to deal with this little Taoist aunt, for fear of making Li Yunyi angry.
There were two stone lions outside the gate of the General's Mansion, and Xiao Daogu squatted behind the stone lions, holding a package and a long sword, and bowed her head. Xiao Anzi glanced at it a few times, ran into the general's mansion with a smoke, and after a while, he came out with a lotus leaf bag, squatted next to Xiao Daogu, handed the lotus leaf bag to Xiao Daogu and said, "Here you go, eat." ”
Xiao Anzi opened the lotus leaf bag, and inside was a fragrant roast chicken, Xiao Daogu raised her head and glanced at it, her big eyes were shining, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva in her throat, and her delicate little face was a little greedy, but she quickly shook her head gently, and lowered her head without speaking.
Xiao Anzi was a little anxious, he thought for a while and said, "Don't be afraid, the master is cultivating, he doesn't know." Even if I knew, I would scold me, not you. ”
Xiao Daogu still shook her head, Xiao Anzi waited for a while, put down the roast chicken, turned around and went back. Xiao Daogu glanced up slightly, looked at the roast chicken on the ground again, sniffled, and finally didn't move the roast chicken.
A few beggars in the distance, smelling the aroma of roast chicken, came over from afar. After observing for a moment, a beggar came running, grabbed the roast chicken and ran. Xiao Daogu didn't move, didn't even raise her head, and continued to squat behind the stone lion, with her head down as if she was asleep.
When the two sergeants guarding the door saw this scene, their faces sank and they glared at the beggar in the distance. If it weren't for the duty, plus Xiong Jun specially explained, they would have to rush over and beat up a few beggars.
......
Time passed quickly in the busyness, and the sergeants of the entire Huya Pass were busy.
The Shaking Mountain Battalion is training the military formation every day, the Blood Wolf Battalion is training the art of riding, the Divine Bow Battalion is practicing archery every day, the scout battalion is looking around for news, and the military battalion is preparing all kinds of baggage. Fu Gonggong recovered his body and strived to recover the combat power on the nine grades as soon as possible, Li Yunyi in addition to treating his legs, he was also cultivating the Qi Sea Treasure Acupoint. Xiao Anzi came to see Xiao Daogu once a day and sent a roast chicken, but Xiao Daogu didn't eat it, and was snatched away by beggars every time.
This little Taoist girl squatted behind the stone lion in front of the general's mansion all day long, ignoring people and not talking, but occasionally disappeared for a while, it should be to go to the river to bathe or solve a big problem or something. She had dry food and water in her package, and she secretly nibbled on it when no one was around, like a homeless stray kitten.
Half a month later, the military report from the front came again, Guyuan City was lost, and the entire Dongyuan County fell. Cai's army has invaded Tianjingjun, and Jingcheng, the capital of Jingguo, is like a weak girl, exposed to the iron hooves of Cai's army.
In the first battle of Guyuan City, the army of Jingguo lost nearly 10,000 again, the general Wang was severely injured, and the captain Zhou Xian was also injured. And there is no news about Li Hongtu in Jingcheng, Li Hongtu has not woken up for so long, which means that it is very likely that he will never wake up.
All of a sudden, the people of Jingguo felt that the black clouds were overwhelming, the building could collapse at any time, and Jingguo could be destroyed at any time. Jingguo sent more than a dozen envoys to Nanchu for help, but they were all like mud flowing into the sea, and there was no response.
Jingguo and Cai are both vassal states of the Southern Chu Dynasty, Southern Chu does not intervene, and the people of Jingguo feel powerless to return to the sky, many wealthy families began to arrange the back road, and the road to the north is full of carriages, taking the property and family members of those wealthy families away.
"Wait another half a month and it's almost over. ”
In the General's Mansion, Li Yunyi looked at the map on the wall, and several huge arrows were drawn with a brush on the area, and some cities and towns were also circled. Li Yunyi's eyes fell on Xiong Jun, Ding Yu, Chen Zhenglong, and Lu Youshan in the hall, and ordered: "In the past half a month, you have strengthened training on the one hand, and on the other hand, you have actively prepared for war, stockpiled all kinds of military materials, and the Huya Army will go out in half a month. ”
"Whoa!"
Xiong Jun and the others all shouted loudly, looked at each other a few times, and their eyes were full of excitement and excitement.
The hall is full of 3,000 drunk, and the 14 states are frosty with a sword, is Li Yunyi finally going to show his sword?
