Chapter 33 Troubled Times: Xiahou Ying's Choice

Meng Yan had a big dream, he remembered that he was hit by an arrow when he was eating wine with Zhong Roulan and returning to the camp, but in the dream, he was floating in the clouds, as if he had seen his father and mother who had never seen him, but he couldn't see their faces clearly, his father and mother pulled him to run out of the clouds, he kept running but never felt tired, and opened up layer after layer of soft clouds, and suddenly those clouds turned into dark clouds, and the dark clouds had a bloody mouth as if they were going to swallow the three of them, when he suddenly heard the voice of Cang Shu Haoyue, He looked back and saw a dark cloud flying in front of him to cover his eyes, it took a lot of effort to see Haoyue's fleshy face clearly, the tears on his face had not yet dried, and the hair ornament was also crooked, he wanted to raise his hand to tidy up Haoyue's hair ornament but couldn't lift it, so he had to say something, he suddenly found that he couldn't speak, as if something was stuck in his throat, he held his breath and wanted to cough it out, who knew that a large mouthful of black blood spurted out of his throat.

"Okay, the poisonous blood is spit out, just keep it, you can't die." Ye Bohuai breathed a sigh of relief, but that hateful mouth was still cheap.

Meng Yan didn't bother to deal with him, and said with difficulty: "Yue'er, why are you here?" ”

Cang Shu Haoyue was already in tears at the moment, she couldn't say anything, only crying, Zhong Roulan, who was standing in the distance with tears in her eyes, gently leaned against the door frame, Meng Yan woke up, and she decided to leave.

"Is Shaonanguan still there?" Meng Yan suddenly thought of what happened before he fell unconscious.

"You are still lying in Shaonanguan, don't worry, I'm here, and if I lose Shaonanguan, won't it seem that I have no ability?" Ye Bohuai quipped.

"Who is it?" Meng Yan asked.

"Gu Yingfeng, he has been caught, tied up in prison, waiting for you to wake up and skin him, think about what knife to use, I think the cow bone knife is suitable." Cang Shu Haoyue was stunned, but Ye Bohuai understood what he meant.

Meng Yan looked around the room, suddenly smelled a familiar smell, looked at Ye Bohuai, who was harmless to humans and animals, and said, "Ah Yue, I'm hungry, give me something to eat." ”

Cangshu Haoyue looked at him with his eyes, knowing that Meng Yan was going to talk to Ye Bohuai, and said knowingly: "You just woke up, don't talk less, don't be too tired." ”

Cang Shu Haoyue walked to the door and wanted to pull Zhong Roulan with her, but after thinking about it for a while, she gave up, and whispered: "Roulan, look at him, don't make him angry." ”

"He's been here?" Meng Yan said weakly.

"Here, I'm called, three days and three nights to heal your wounds, cross the qi, the first half of the day left, that's it, what else do you want to know." What should come will always come, Ye Bohuai is not a person without responsibility, it is better to make it clear than to deceive.

"Sanniang helped me up." Meng Yan struggled to get up, but he couldn't do it.

Zhong Roulan helped him up expressionlessly, he looked at Ye Bohuai in disappointment, puzzled and sad, and finally wanted to ask clearly: "Did he let you come to me?" ”

"No, when he left the Central Plains that day, we let us choose for ourselves, I want to come to you myself, that's it, I have never deceived you except for his affairs." Ye Bohuai said very calmly.

"Why did he betray me?" The question mark that pressed on the bottom of Meng Yan's heart may be answered today, whether it is good or bad, he only wants a result.

"I don't know!" Ye Bohuai replied very simply, "I really don't know, I was still in Jincheng that day to deal with affairs, and suddenly received a secret letter from him asking me to immediately leave the Night Guard and gather at the stronghold on the outskirts of Luochen City, and when I arrived, the other senior brothers had already decided to take refuge in Dongyang City." ”

Meng Yan was silent, this question mark is still unknown, Ye Bohuai will not lie to him in this matter, with Ye Bohuai's temperament, he has never been a person with Yang Boyao, and only Ye Bohuai will ask why, Meng Yan decided to believe Ye Bohuai, he believes that the day when things will come to light, "How many people have you lost?" ”

Ye Bohuai smiled, he knew that Meng Yan chose to trust him, "The five battalions were injured by a third, and Meng Huan's battalion was damaged by most of them. ”

"Now that the military affairs are handled by you, how do you plan to deal with Gu Yingfeng?" Meng Yan had thought that he would lose a lot of people, but he didn't expect so much.

"The current situation is that Gu Qufeng can't get in, and we can't afford to fight out, so I think it's just like this, after all, our current advantage is that there is no shortage of food and grass." Ye Bohuai made his decision clear.

"What about Gu Yingfeng? Fifth brother, you have been avoiding this matter. Meng Yan also felt that Ye Bohuai's handling was no problem, and he seemed to have reservations about Gu Yingfeng.

"I didn't think about it, it's a pity to kill it, it's not cost-effective to send it back, there may be unexpected variables when you are in Wuyang City, and I also have a headache."

"Why don't you give it to me and take it with you?" Zhong Roulan, who had been silent, said calmly.

"What do you want him to do?" Meng Yan asked puzzled.

"Suffering a loss in the south, do you think the royal family will not find a place to vent their anger? I received a letter from Brother Fan yesterday, Yu Jun is restless, that is my fiefdom, I have to deter Fan Lihu in Chuzhou. What Zhong Roulan said is reasonable.

"Are you going to make a show of Gu Yingfeng? But the Gu family is not of the same mind as the royal family, will the royal family of Gu Yingfeng's life and death Ling Dynasty care? Besides, are you planning to go back to Dongyang? Meng Yan said it in one breath, and his chest suddenly felt blocked and he coughed.

Zhong Roulan habitually rubbed his back to give him relief, and said with a perfunctory smile: "Anyway, I am still from Dongyang City, and Yujun is my fiefdom, so it's not good to stay in the south all the time." ”

"What did you hear?" Meng Yan frowned, in the past few years, there have been good rumors that Zhong Roulan has a personal affair with him, he has never taken it seriously, and now it seems that things are developing in the wrong direction.

"It's nothing, really, second brother, don't think too much about your body, it's not like I'm not coming back, you have to keep my room in your house." Zhong Roulan forcibly regained her previous expression, but her eyes were much more complicated.

Meng Yan did not refuse Zhong Roulan's request to take Gu Yingfeng away, and she was a little reluctant to see Zhong Roulan's figure disappear into her eyes, and the back had a kind of goodbye.

At this time, Ye Bohuai said tremblingly: "Persistence, I have to remind you that people will become, and the appearance of Shixing Gong has caused variables between several of you, so you should be ready to meet the first difficulty in your life." ”

Meng Yan lay down quietly and said slightly: "Fifth brother, it's better to remind me like this, we actually don't have our own thoughts, and what the wind and rain will be in the future, just come." ”

The situation in Shaonanguan is already a chicken rib, it is only a matter of time before the two sides retreat, but Yinqing Dao has always been a tense confrontation, Ma Tong does not seem to intend to let Xiao Yu have a good time, in order to increase the cost of the fight, both sides consciously secretly increased the troops, Xiahou Ming used his power to privately transfer some government soldiers to support Xiao Yu, the person who led the troops was Xiahou Ying, Xiahou Ming really couldn't resist his daughter's request.

"Why are you here? The battlefield is not where you should be. Xiao Yu was not surprised by Xiahou Ying's arrival, but more disgusted.

"I don't feel at ease when others come, if you don't like me here, I'll leave tomorrow." Xia Houying felt sour when she heard Xiao Yu's words.

"It's all here, it's not safe to go back at this time, just stay here, don't run around, it's no better than home." Xiao Yu didn't want to treat her like this, and when she saw Xia Houying's disappointed expression, she still softened.

"I came over just now and saw that the opposite side is also being repaired, Ma Tong is planning to spend it with you, this situation is very unfavorable to us, most of our soldiers and horses are newly recruited, and the battlefield strength is not as good as the opposite side." Xia Houying analyzed.

"Yes, this is the problem now, it seems that we are stuck in Yinqing Road so that they can't go south, but in the long run, the soldiers' hearts will not be able to stand it, and once one person collapses, the entire team will collapse in an instant." Xiao Yu's face was sad.

"Actually, Ma Tong is not having a good time, before he came, my father said that the war in Shaonanguan was basically over, but Shaohou was seriously injured in assassination, and it was difficult to help us for a while, Gu's side is obviously short of food and grass, and Ma Tong's army must also be short of food, what if we organize a sneak attack?" Xia Houying entered the role.

Xiao Yu shook his head and said helplessly: "In the past few days, I have been sneaking up and robbing the camp continuously, but in the end, I failed because of the fear of the soldiers, and even Uncle Cong was injured. ”

Xiahou Ying seemed to think of something, and said, "Is there any Yuan Changli in Ma Tong's army?" ”

Xiao Yu's expression lit up and then instantly became gloomy, staring directly at Xiahou Ying and said gloomily: "Yuan Changli's matter is top secret, how do you know?" ”

"My father and Yuan Changli are old friends, and when I was sorting out the letters for my father, I saw that the prince had handed over the matter of contacting Yuan Changli to my father." Xiahou Ying met Xiao Yu's eyes and said without reservation.

Xiao Yu's expression softened, leaned back on the chair with a desolate feeling, and said faintly: "The matter with Yuan Changli was originally entrusted to me by my uncle, but now I don't know that Lord Xiahou is in charge, Ying'er, do you say that I am a failure." ”

Xiahou Ying moved behind Xiao Yu and gently softened his temples for him, and said softly and gently: "Since I am married to you, I am your Xiao Yu's woman, you and I are husband and wife, no matter what happens in the future, I am willing." ”

"Ying'er, that's your father." Xiao Yu enjoyed Xiahou Ying's massage.

"I know my father's mind, and if you need it, I will fight for my father." Xiahou Ying said with determination.

"The nephew of the king of the north of the dignified town, the prince of Zhanchuan County, in the eyes of outsiders, I am infinitely beautiful, who knows that my life is so unbearable, I am at odds with the princess, my uncle has been estranged from me a lot over the past year, do you know that the information of the General Administration Department for me here is not as timely as that of Meng Yan." Xiao Yu said resentfully.

"I know you have big ambitions, don't care about other people's eyes, don't care about other people's jealousy, we can only be strong ourselves, and it is unknown who will be in the world in the future." Xiahou Ying changed her low voice in front of Xiao Yu in the past.

"Ying'er, what you said is right, you can't do big things if you are afraid of wolves and tigers, and you will see who will kill in this prosperous world." Xiao Yu suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, "Ma Tong's deputy general Duan Wan is Xu Shaoting's person, I have dealings with him, would you like to run for me." ”

"When to go." Xiahou Ying agreed without thinking about it.

"I'll let Uncle Cong accompany you tomorrow night," Xiao Yu hesitated, "Ying'er, it's dangerous to go, you don't have to agree." ”

Xiahou Ying said with a rare smile: "How can you forget, we are husband and wife, you will not care about my safety, besides, my own martial arts practice is no problem to save my life, since you have a relationship with Xu Shaoting, I think this Duan Wan will not do anything out of line, as long as you allow me two things, I will definitely bring Ma Tong's head back." ”

"Oh, what's the matter, tell me about it?" Xiao Yu was interested, he didn't expect Xiahou Ying, who had always been indifferent to the world, to have such a side.

"One is grain and grass, the other is to wait and see, Ma Tong's army is short of food, as long as he gives enough Wan grain and grass, he will not disagree, as long as you wait and see and do not send troops to let them return safely to Lincheng Ma Tong's head." Xia Houying was full of confidence.

Xiao Yu thought for a while, and felt that it was really a bit of a loss to give up attacking Lingling, but if Ma Tong's head could really be obtained, let Lingling hold it in the hands of the Gu clan for a while, and besides, the imperial army's retreat to Lingling, the Gu clan would not be too welcome.

"Ying'er, have you thought about it, if we do this, it will be tantamount to betrayal, are you sure to go down with me?" Xiao Yu asked solemnly.

"I came up with all the ideas, what does betrayal have to do with you?" Xiahou Ying smiled, smiling very happily, as cold and beautiful as a blooming snow lotus on an iceberg.
