Chapter 138: Face
"Your Excellency, wolf smoke has been released on the border!"
The official Su Bantou shouted in panic to drive the carriage fast, Yan Qing looked out the window and did not say a countermeasure, Xiang Feiyue had already protected him and jumped out of the carriage, the two hugged each other and rolled into the depths of the grass on the side of the road, Xiang Feiyue was heavily pressed under Yan Qing.
Immediately after that, dozens of darts were shot out of the bushes in front of them, and with a "bang", the carriage was planted diagonally into the trees not far away, and the secluded tree-lined path was quiet again.
Yan Qing was just about to get up, but he was directly wrapped around his waist by Xiang Feiyue, and the two of them maintained this posture until Su Bantou, who jumped out of the car, crawled over from the shadows.
"My lord, what should I do?"
Su Bantou bent his body and lay on the ground and didn't dare to make a big move, stretched his neck and asked in a low voice, Yan Qing couldn't think quickly with his current posture, and the dart just now was clearly a hidden weapon often used in the rivers and lakes, and the tricks on the rivers and lakes should be more familiar to Scarlet Yue.
"We won't survive if we speak out!"
Xiang Feiyue glared at Su Ban angrily, the most important thing to think of should be her, Yan Qing usually looks thin and doesn't pull a few places, but there is some weight on her, plus the clothes of the two are wet by the rain and are really heavy, and the gravel under her body also makes her hurt.
Su Bantou obediently shut up, and just when the three of them were holding their breath and concentrating, the group of Jianghu people who had just shot out actually touched it silently, Yan Qing was really startled, and almost screamed, but fortunately, Xiang Feiyue reached out in time to cover his mouth.
She could see Scarlet Moon's face up most clearly, there were six people in total. They were dressed in black and their faces were covered, they couldn't see their faces clearly, they only communicated with gestures, and they couldn't tell whether they were Qin Huan's people at all.
At this time, it was already dark, and dense raindrops continued to hit people's faces, and a thin layer of mist gradually rose on the ground. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the grass where the three of them were hiding, Yan Qing's heart rose to his throat, and he secretly made a gesture to Su Bantou to Scarlet Yue, Su Bantou raised his arm and fired three or four short arrows and flew quickly in the direction of the man in black, and the two men in black fell down in an instant.
"Kill!"
Xiang Feiyue forcefully pushed Yanqing into the trees farther away, the double blades on her waist were instantly unsheathed, she used a long and short sword, holding a long sword in her right hand and a short dagger in her left hand. One long and one short, one virtual and one real, coupled with Xiangjia's unique light skills, is extremely dexterous when facing the enemy, just like her people, fluttering, like smoke and fog, which makes people unable to grasp.
The remaining four men in black were already panicked, they never expected that someone would blatantly hide in the grass on the side of the road, and just reacted to the fact that three people had fallen, and only one person was about to be killed, and suddenly spit out a black smoke from his mouth and committed suicide.
"Is this a signal?"
Yan Qing poked his head out of the bushes, and just as he wanted to get closer, Su Bantou ran over to stop him and said, "Poisonous!"
Su Bantou said as he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out an antidote pill for Yan Qing to swallow, and Yan Qing looked at the pill and had to put it in his mouth obediently.
On the other side, Xiang Xuanyue quickly swallowed the antidote pill and covered his mouth and nose with bated breath. The vicious move of poison smoke signal is not commonly used even by dead soldiers, and these people must not be simple. She walked over to the corpse of the man in black who had been killed earlier and squatted down, quickly looked for clues on them, and accurately found the tattoo of the dead soldier of the Qin family on them, which was correct as she expected.
"Lord Yan, they are all Qin Huan's dead soldiers."
Yan Qingyi grinned and swallowed the pill stuck in his throat, just as Mo Yan expected, the news that Qin won the third princess in Youzhou really sent troops in advance, and he really couldn't wait.
"Xiao Su, you quickly go back to Youzhou City to inform Lord Mo that Qin Ying has entered the circle and can close the net. You also want to trouble Xiang Nuxia, take me into the barracks and deploy troops to support the border and Youzhou City as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
The two of them gave up their orders and whistled to the scarlet moon, and a horse came out of the forest, the same one she rode out of the city. Xiang Feiyue got on the horse and stretched out his hand to Yan Qing, Yan Qing skillfully held it, jumped on the horse with strength, and sat directly behind her and hugged her waist.
"Drive!"
Raising the reins to Scarlet Moon, the steed led the two into the rain. When Su Bantou arrived at Youzhou City, the city gate was early
The walls of the confined city were full of sentinels patrolling, and it must have been Lord Mo in the city who saw the wolf smoke on the border and quickly issued an order to seal the city.
"Su Bantou, the official of the state government, brings the Zhizhou banquet to the people of the state to pay homage to Lord Mo!"
After a while, the city gate was opened, and Su Bantou was led into the city by the deputy general who defended the city, and the state government at this time had already become a temporary military camp, and everyone was always ready for the enemy to attack.
"How about Lord Banquet and Scarlet Woman?"
Wen Ye looked anxious, although this change was done by Xiang Feiyue, but in the final analysis, it was because of her.
"Mrs. Wen, don't worry, the Scarlet Woman is very familiar with Youzhou, and she will be fine."
Wen Ye heard him say this, and temporarily reassured, although Xiang Feiyue is not very good at strategy, her swordsmanship and familiarity with Youzhou are unmatched.
Su Bantou replied, and as soon as he gave up his hand, he retreated, and before he had gone far, Lu Tong stopped him.
"Su Bantou, do you know the origin of this Mrs. Wen? Regardless of whether the Scarlet Lady listened to her orders, Qin Ying also changed her plan to enter Beijing because of her."
Su Bantou smiled, his eyes drifted to the dark place behind Lu Tongju, he knew it in his heart, but he couldn't say this death.
"Who are you listening to when you say this, if Qin Ying really came to slaughter the city, it is also because of Master Mo, Lord Lu has forgotten about the border of Liangzhou?"
The two looked at each other and nodded, Mo Yan faked his death and Mo Hou Ye's grievances, and no one in the court knew about it.
"You kid can, no wonder you can follow Lord Yan!"
Lu Tongju raised his hand and patted Su Bantou's shoulder, and couldn't help but respect him, people who have been in the rivers and lakes see things thoroughly. He grinned, thinking in his heart that he would be closer to Su Bantou in the future, and then tiptoed to hook Su Bantou's shoulder.
"Don't be idle, follow me to the city wall, if there is Qin Ying's secret agent sneaking in, it will not be easy."
"Walking!"
Su Bantou couldn't ask for it, so he immediately agreed, and walked outside the state government with Lu Tong's judgment.
"Poof!"
Wen Ye, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't hold back any longer, and burst out laughing, Su Bantou was Bixiao's helper by Yan Qing's side, and he also made up for the lack of shadow guards.
"Do you hear that? You weigh more in their eyes than I do!"
Mo Yan walked over with an umbrella, he never cared about this, and strode closer to see that she was dressed in red clothes and white armor under the poncho, and his heart suddenly tightened.
"You will go with me to meet the enemy?"
Wen Ye nodded happily, her eyes were firmly mixed with a hint of expectation, no matter how the situation developed, she really wanted to face it with Mo Yan.
"Mo Lang, I don't want to be a shrunken turtle anymore, if Qin Ying's target is me, I will meet him and save him from breaking the city and disturbing the people. Don't worry, Ming'er, they're ready in the city, and I'll be fine."
"Okay, I'll be with you."
Mo Yan smiled brightly and hugged her into his arms, Wen Ye looked up at his deep eyes, and the joy in his heart was overflowing.
"Mohiko, thank you......"
Before the words fell, the paper umbrella fell to the ground, and the lips touched, full of heartfelt complaints. Wen Ye's body went weak and fell into his arms, Mo Yan got up and let her go, the corners of his mouth were full of evil smiles.
"As I said, the third lady is not allowed to say thank you to me."
