Chapter 161. Followers of the Speaker (2)
After this reminiscence, with Ember Shadow personally appearing, the Yan family was naturally given the title of "National Teacher Guard" and became a family that only obeyed her orders.
In order to show his sincerity, the monarch of Li State personally issued an edict:
Except for Ember Shadow, within the territory of the Li Kingdom, the Yan family no longer has to obey anyone's dispatch.
This is the face given to Ember Shadow by the royal family of the Li Kingdom, but the Yan family did not act recklessly because of this.
Even, they are more cautious, and for the Li country, they have never missed half a cent of courtesy, and no one can find the fault of his Yan family in this.
At the end of the winter of the fourth year, news of a great victory came from the east of the Li Kingdom.
According to rumors, the territory that has been persevering in provoking war over there was directly beaten by the army led by a female general.
Retreated thousands of miles away overnight.
Later, I heard that this female general went deep into the enemy camp alone and picked off the head of the enemy general who had slaughtered a city in the Li Kingdom.
When this news came out, the whole country of Li was boiling and running to praise.
Hearing the good news, the monarch of Li was even more overjoyed, waved his hand, and gave a bunch of rewards.
But there are rumors that the female general did not look at such a reward at all, and exchanged all the silver taels and materials and distributed them to the soldiers and the people.
This adds a lot of "legendary" to her.
In a short period of time, the degree to which it was sung and spread was close to the ember of the god of war of the "plain clothes and white yarn".
This sixteen-year-old female general really became famous in World War I.
In the winter of the same year, when the whole country was celebrating, Li specially recalled several military generals who were abroad.
Among them is this female general who has shined in the barracks in the past two years.
She was the most striking of them all.
During the period of fame, she rejected all the courtesies of the forces, and turned a deaf ear to the explicit hints of all parties.
There is no such resourceful "smoothness" as she is on the battlefield.
And her name has gradually fallen into the ears of various forces far away in the court.
Yan Shuyu.
No one expected that the full name of this "fierce general" would be so gentle and demure.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Guo intends to reuse her.
However, before the banquet, everyone thought that this was just a reckless man who relied on his military exploits and was lucky to soar.
Even if you can't get it, it's not a pity.
But after the banquet, all parties were shocked to learn that she was actually the daughter of the Yan family.
And he is the most dazzling genius in that powerful Lingwu family.
At the age of twelve or thirteen, she entered the military camp alone, without the support of her family or the protection of her identity.
Just by virtue of her own ability and wisdom, in a short period of time, she has grown into an invincible heroine.
All of a sudden, the whole country was in an uproar.
was also shocked, as well as Ji Linxing, who had heard of this "Yan Shuyu" for a long time.
None of them thought that under such circumstances, they would listen to this person's legendary story again from another aspect.
"No wonder she mentioned Yan Shuyu at the time, and her expression was still a little nostalgic." Ji Linxing said in a low voice, "And this senior is really worthy of the word 'amazing talent'."
Several people nodded in agreement.
Jiang Xiaoyue said softly, "I'm afraid she will enter the barracks for Miss Yan."
Wen Jinfang and the others didn't know about this "Yan Shuyu", and when they suddenly heard them say this, they were a little puzzled.
Seeing this, Yan Ling thought about it, and quickly said it again as he had said before.
After listening, Li Yuzhi and Wen Hanchi were silently in awe.
Even in the Lingwu world, a person like Yan Shuyu, the Lingwu family can produce one for thousands of years, and they are all blessed by the ancestors of this family.
Basically, there is no possibility of being "free-ranged" by the family, let alone directly incognito into the barracks.
The shadow of the ember is above the court
, although the ability is extraordinary, but after all, it is alone.
If she wasn't for Ember Shadow, no one would believe her!
And as the time of the illusion flies, things gradually go in the direction they guessed.
After Yan Shuyu's identity was made public, the Yan family's status and reputation, which were already at the peak, broke through to the extreme again.
But except for Yan Shuyu returning to the barracks and continuing her duty to defend the territory, the Yan family has never made any major moves.
Even the discipline of the children of the clan has become stricter.
Except for the matter of Ember Shadow, the Yan family has never participated in any struggle, and the meaning of their existence seems to be just to maintain this national teacher.
All the best is to prevent any possible reason for Ember to be attacked.
However, no matter how cautious they are, some people end up with a lack of heart.
The longer and longer retreat of the Ember Shadow made the heart of the Li royal family start to stir again.
But they didn't dare to make a big splash after all, so they could only do it secretly in private.
Ember Shadow came to the eighth year of the Li Kingdom, late autumn.
The Li State suddenly sent troops to the Nangong State in the northwest.
Over the years, the national strength of Li has long surpassed that of other neighboring countries.
Nangong Country is located in a cold land, and the cold winter is even more unfriendly to them.
In order to survive the coming cold, they had to start preparing in the fall.
Under such a "heavenly time and people", the sudden attack of the Li State was very effective, and it quickly broke through the border pass of the Nangong State.
All the way is like a bamboo, straight to the "throat" of the Nangong country - Xinglu Mountain.
This is the natural protective line of the Nangong Kingdom, once it is broken, the entire Nangong Kingdom will completely become the caged rabbit of the Li Kingdom.
Seeing that victory was imminent, the morale of the Li *** team soared.
However, on the night when the army camped in Xinglu Mountain, a woman in red clothes and black hair blocked the army's way alone.
Under the cold moonlight, the woman was wearing a long red dress, the skirt was decorated with silver fireworks, and she was holding a slender spirit sword, conspicuous and arrogant.
In the inky night, the moonlight poured down, and then someone recognized the cold and quiet beautiful face.
"It's Yan Shuyu! It's General Yan!"
One exclamation after another, piercing through the night, startled a flock of mountain and forest birds.
In this way, Yan Shuyu had one person and one sword, coupled with his superb formation technique, and kept it all night.
She didn't hurt a single person, but she made it impossible for the army to march half a step into Lushan.
When the morning light was faint, the prince of the Li Kingdom appeared in Xinglu Mountain, and he brought about 200 monks, all of whom belonged to the "monk army" formed by the Li State in recent years.
The momentum is huge, and you can see the momentum from the sky.
However, under such heavy pressure, Yan Shuyu still did not give an inch.
After fighting all night, Yan Shuyu's face was also a little tired, and in the face of the eldest prince's pressing step by step, she didn't say more, pulled the sword lightly, and made a move back-
In the middle of Xinglu Mountain, as if he should be ordered by her, dozens of figures suddenly jumped out.
They wore gray robes with the Yan family crest painted on them, and each of them was energetic and had a strong breath.
Although the number of people is not comparable, they are all in a better state than the "monk army" that has been driving for half a day.
Because of such an unexpected situation, the eldest prince was so angry that he shook his fist fiercely, and said with some annoyance, "She actually hides her strength!"
Yan Shuyu is famous for her brilliant resourcefulness and extraordinary skills as a monk, but no one has ever heard of her, she is still a formation master!
And he is a formation map master who can draw on the spot to stop thousands of troops!
If it weren't for her ability, how could she have lasted all night in the hands of the army?
Someone timidly replied: "The Yan family follows His Highness the God of War, I heard that over the years, every time he is on vacation, this General Yan will always stay by the side of the God of War, I'm afraid it will ......."
already
It has withstood the true transmission of the ember shadow.
The entourage didn't dare to finish his words, but the eldest prince didn't dare to venture in.
As a last resort, he could only try the method of attacking the heart first:
"General Yan, are you trying to betray your family and country like this now? As a general, you are highly regarded by the king, is this your reward?"
Yan Shuyu's long sword pointed diagonally at the ground, her face was light, and she couldn't see her emotions: "The Yan family is following the God of War, and I have not betrayed my family. As for the identity of this general, you can forget it from the moment I appeared."
The eldest prince was a little annoyed: "Yan Shuyu, today you alone can't stop my army at all. What's in it for you to end up losing both?"
Yan Shuyu quietly raised her eyes, her gaze gently swept over the Li army in front of her, and those who met her gaze turned their eyes away in fear.
"Your Excellency said that it is forbidden for the Li country to start a war, and she can't be empty now, but the Yan family is not an ornament."
In and out of the words, they will never give up their plans to stop them.
With a wave of Yan Shuyu's long sword, a huge array of spiritual light rose from the ground, instantly trapping the troops present.
"Up! Break through their defenses at all costs!" The eldest prince gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
This battle lasted for another day and a night.
The Yan family was concerned about not hurting people's lives, and the eldest prince brought a lot of elixirs and wood monks, so the situation gradually became extremely unfavorable to the Yan family as time passed.
But the Yan family seems to be not afraid of death, even if they fall behind, they are becoming more and more courageous one by one.
Everyone's wounds gradually accumulated, especially Yan Shuyu.
Although her cultivation is not the highest in the Yan family in the field, she can block many attacks at the same time, and after such a long period of consumption, she has approached the limit several times.
And just when she forced back the army's attack again, her spiritual power suddenly became restless.
Her face turned red in an instant, as if she had been eaten by something, she snorted, and the blade of her sword turned, inserting it into the ground and barely supporting her body.
"She's going to advance!"
"Oh my God! She's less than twenty!"
Exclamations came from all sides—
The monks present at the Yan family were almost exhausted, but seeing such an abnormality as Yan Shuyu, they still held their bodies in front of her.
The eldest prince snorted coldly: "Take advantage of her illness and kill her!" Give it to me! Not a single one will be left."
The army and hundreds of monks are forced to hold up and rush forward!
When Ji Linxing saw this, he couldn't help but burst out foul language.
Jiang Xiaoyue and the others were even more anxious and subconsciously rushed over.
No one wants to see that such an amazing and brilliant person will be buried in the hands of the villain for this reason!
