Chapter 452: The Wind and Snow Outside the Tent Are in Full Bloom
Why are the Thorns here?
This is a question well worth studying.
If you have to go back to the roots, in fact, everything is because of one person.
The beloved daughter of the commander of the Thorn Army, the eldest lady of the Ye family, Ye Xiao'e.
In the battle of the Jinyuan Secret Realm, Ye Xiao'e's whereabouts were unknown, and his life and death were unknown, Ye Jiang, who was originally stationed in Xiling, did not wait for the order, braved the awe-inspiring wind and snow, and personally led 10,000 elites of the Thorn Army back to Beijing to report on their work.
In order to find Ye Xiao'e's whereabouts and track down the truth of the battle of the Jinyuan Secret Realm.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Ye Jiang took his three most trusted brothers into the palace, talked with Jindi all night in the imperial study, and then only stayed in the capital for three days, and then led the army to Nanchuan.
What did Emperor Jin and Ye Jiang say that night?
Only six people knew about it.
Now Emperor Jin is dead, Ye Jiang is dead, and Gonggong Zhao is also dead.
Wu Tong and Shen Mu were deeply involved in the war in Mocheng, and they still don't know whether they are alive or dead.
Therefore, the last person in the know is the fat man who is called General Tanma!
Ye Jiang left the fat man in the capital, in order to let him continue to search for Ye Xiao'e's whereabouts, but in fact, the general did not stay in Luoyang for too long, and almost at the same moment when Emperor Jin announced that he would hold a ceremony to worship the heavens in Changbai Mountain, he returned to Xiling with a military talisman in his hand.
Bring back the remaining 50,000 troops of the Thorn Army!
When the country's righteousness and private emotions were placed in front of Ye Jiang, the coach who had been in charge of his life chose the former.
Similarly, when Ye Jiang's entrustment and Ye Jiang's own life safety were placed in front of the fat man, he chose the latter.
The fat man's name is Chen Zhong, loyal to the liver and courage.
He did not follow Ye Jiang's order before leaving Beijing, but went to Xiling and returned with 50,000 brothers.
For the sake of reinforcing Nanchuan!
Chen Zhong knew how difficult the demon clan people were, and he even knew that once the demon clan army penetrated deep into Nanchuan, the 10,000 people in Ye Shuai's hands would not be enough to fight at all.
Jindi asked Ye Jiang to exchange his life for a victory.
Ye Jiang agreed.
But Chen Zhong disagreed!
He doesn't care about what he does, and he doesn't care about the so-called overall situation, he only hopes that his eldest brother will not sacrifice needlessly, and he won't bury the entire Ye family for Emperor Jin!
But it's a pity that Chen Zhong is still one step late.
Because he never thought that Ye Jiang and the 10,000 elites in his hands would be defeated so quickly.
It was even more impossible for him to expect that the Mo family was reversed.
The most shocking thing to the world is that the demon clan has one more holy order.
However, to this day, the news of the 10,000 elite troops of the Thorn Army being annihilated, and Ye Shuai's death on the battlefield is still tightly sealed by the Mo family, and it has not been transmitted back to Luoyang for the time being, and naturally it has not been transmitted to Chen Zhong's camp.
Therefore, Chen Zhong didn't know that Jiujiang County had already fallen, and he didn't know that the demon army had broken through all the way and had begun to cross the Shuo River.
But the good news is that Chen Zhong personally led the Thorn Army of 50,000 horses to the south, and the speed was naturally not as fast as the 10,000 elites led by Ye Jiang to run for a long time, and Chen Zhong came all the way from Xiling to wear the stars and the moon, and in terms of distance, it was also farther than the distance from Luoyang to Mocheng.
Therefore, the Thorn Army had just left Yangcheng last night, and now it was still hundreds of miles away from Xiucheng.
Coincidentally, he happened to bump into three people who were hurrying north from the Moon Wheel Grassland.
It was Ye Xiao'e, Ning Zheng and Bi Qingwen who were separated from Xia Sheng halfway!
Ye Xiao'e's appearance surprised Chen Zhong inexplicably, but it also invisibly delayed the progress of the Thorn Army, and the whole army repaired on the spot, and it was delayed in continuing to move.
Because Chen Zhong and Ye Xiao'e had a serious disagreement on something.
"Since my father is in danger in Nanchuan now, it is impossible for me to return to Beijing alone, so I will go with you. ”
"No way!"
Chen Zhong's attitude was very resolute: "This is a war, not a one-on-one contest between cultivators, the strength of the individual is very weak in the fight of more than 100,000 people, although the young lady has been exposed to it since childhood, but after all, she has never fought with the army, if she is accidentally surrounded by enemy troops, I am afraid that it will disrupt the deployment of our army!"
Ye Xiao'e's face was full of stubbornness, and she said bluntly: "Since I am marching and fighting, I am no longer a big lady, but just a personal soldier in your hands Uncle Chen, I will naturally obey your orders, if you are worried about my safety and don't let me go into battle to kill the enemy, I will definitely not move half a step!"
Chen Zhong has watched Ye Xiao'e grow up since he was a child, where does he not know her temperament, although he has calmed down a lot after returning from diving in the Netherworld with Tam Dali, but Chen Zhong still doesn't dare to rest assured, not to mention, if something happens during the march, Ye Xiao'e's identity is likely to make the whole army in a dilemma.
If the handsome and the young lady are surrounded by enemy troops at the same time, which one should be saved first?
Chen Zhong insisted on his own judgment and believed that even if Ye Shuai was here, he would make the same choice.
But knowing that his father might be surrounded and suppressed by the demon army in Nanchuan, how could Ye Xiao'e return to Luoyang at this time?
Neither of the two could convince anyone, and Ning Zheng and Bi Qingwen, as two "outsiders", had no position to persuade them, so they could only stand aside and remain silent.
Compared with Ning Zheng, Bi Qingwen is obviously more anxious, because when he comes back this time, he is most concerned about Shantang and the young master, if it weren't for the three years in the secret realm that made him and Ye Xiao'e also form a very deep friendship, I am afraid that at this time, I would have left this eldest lady of the Ye family and rushed to Luoyang alone.
Ye Xiao'e was reluctant to return to Beijing, and Chen Zhong didn't let her follow the Thorn Army south, in order to prevent Ye Xiao'e from going to her father alone, he even refused to reveal the route and destination of Ye Shuai's army.
The snow outside the tent was falling even more, and if we couldn't get to Xiucheng before dark, if the road was blocked by heavy snow, the whole army's journey would probably be delayed for some time.
A partial general surnamed Qiao had already come to the tent curtain and urgently asked: "Please make a decision as soon as possible, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, do the brothers leave or stay?"
For General Qiao Bi, as a professional soldier, even if Ye Xiao'e is the daughter of the marshal, at this time he only obeys the orders of one person, that is, the general of Tanma, Chen Zhong, who is holding a talisman.
Hearing this, Chen Zhong walked outside the tent with some annoyance, and said to General Qiao Bi: "Tell the brothers to prepare to leave, you are responsible for sending the young lady back to Luoyang!"
Slightly stunned, General Qiao bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”
However, when the words fell, a dark cyan aura suddenly rose from the tent, and a layer of crystal clear ice armor floated on Ye Xiao'e's body, and she said without retreating: "Uncle Chen, if you want to drive me away, I'm afraid it's difficult." ”
Seeing this, Chen Zhong's eyes suddenly widened, and he exclaimed, "Miss is already the Spirit Emperor?"
Ye Xiao'e nodded: "Please believe in me, Uncle Chen, even on the battlefield, I have enough power to protect myself!"
For a while, Chen Zhong was a little embarrassed, and at this time, an even colder cold wind fell from the sky and poured into the tent fiercely.
A voice resounded in front of the three armies.
"All the officers and men of the Thorn Army obeyed the order and immediately followed me to Buju Mountain to defend against the enemy!"
Before the wind and snow fell, Xia Sheng was carrying four wings, holding a large jade seal, standing proudly in the sky.
appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
