Inside the camp tent of the captain of the Yulin Army.

"Gong, Gongzi, eat steamed buns today, steamed buns."

April, who was also the commander of the Yulin Army, personally delivered the daily meals into the camp tent.

He put the food on the table, looked at the princess, and sighed.

Ordinary people wear ordinary black clothes, but the person in front of them is fair-skinned, with red lips and white teeth, which makes her even more indistinguishable, handsome and beautiful.

The girl's dark eyes were bright and clear, like two pure black jades.

"Today's food is good, there are barbecue and stew."

Chu Yi looked at the meal and sighed.

April stammered, "Meat means that the city is going to be attacked."

His eyes burned with fierce intent.

Next to him, Xiao Yan stretched out his hand and gently took off the heavy helmet for Chu Yi.

"In the tent, it doesn't have to be like this, your ears are red." He looked at her ears, which were squeezed red by the helmet, and the fingertips touched it gently, it was a warm and soft touch.

Chu Yi felt that his ears were not red originally, but they were red when he touched them.

She covered her ears with one hand, picked up a piece of meat with the other, looked at Xiao Yan, and asked calmly, "Do you think that bell that uncle said really has anything to do with you?"

Before, Wei Yuanshan told Xiao Yan and her about the blood of the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, and when he mentioned the high priest, Wei Yuanshan casually said that the token of the high priest of the past dynasties was an artifact called "Soul Bell".

Chu Yi suddenly remembered the bell-shaped scar on Xiao Yan's chest, as well as the bell sound he heard before he died in his previous life.

Maybe she can be reborn and can already enter Xiao Yan's dream, which has something to do with that bell.

You'll have to see with your own eyes to find out.

Xiao Yan thought the same thing, he said that the scar on his chest appeared suddenly, and he also wanted to find out about it.

"At least, that soul bell is the only clue at the moment, and we have to look to find out." Xiao Yan said.

He clearly remembered that he didn't have the bell scar on his chest in his previous life.

"Along the way, the princess and the ministers have been running together."

Chu Yi bent his eyes and ate steamed buns: "Fortunately, I have been winning battles, and it is not hard at all."

She was escorted by Yongjun from Shangjing to Yedu, traveled thousands of miles, slept in the open air, and just lost all her relatives and became the princess of the dead country.

With the help of the Yulin army of Yan State, and the desire of the people of Jin State, the army led by Wei Yuanshan marched all the way, and everywhere he went, the defenders and Taishou of various states and counties of Jin State chose to surrender, and they returned to Jiangcheng in only ten days.

As far as Chu Yi knows, there are already people in Jiangcheng, and the new emperor may not have imagined that he has just ascended the throne for more than a month, and he is probably about to abdicate.

No one knew that among the nearly 100,000 troops, there were actually princesses of Yanguo and protons of Yongguo.

Xiao Yan's identity as a proton originally couldn't easily leave Shangjing, let alone leave Yan Kingdom, but ...... It was Princess Yongning who left Beijing, and Xiao Yan was just the princess's guard.

Chu Yi dressed up as an ordinary pawn and did not publicize his identity, but the people of the Yulin Army had seen their faces in the army, so they naturally knew that the princess was in the army.

None of them showed anything unusual, because only in this way would the princess be safest.

Yin Bing's eyes are too special, many people know that Princess Yongning has a blue-eyed Hui palace maid next to her, and she can't wear a hat with three hundred taels of silver in the army, so this time, she stayed in the capital, and the person who protected Chu Yi's safety became April in the Yulin Army.

After a while, Chu Yi finished his meal, put on his helmet and walked out of the camp.

In the distance, a group of black-armored soldiers were patrolling the camp under the leadership of Cen Xiao, and Cen Xiao, who was the leader, was wearing Xuanjia and hanging a sword from his waist, and he walked majestically, he saw Chu Yi, but he bowed slightly.

The black armor of the Yulin Army has the breath of cold wind and blood.

Before, the Yulin Army only invested, and there was no return, and the hundreds of Dingyuan soldiers who returned to Beijing with Chu Rin also laughed at them, and they had never seen blood, counting

What strong army?

——This is also the reason why Chu Yi persuaded Chu Tingxiao to let Cen Xiao lead the troops to help Wei Yuanshan, without an army that has been on the battlefield with real swords and guns, it cannot be called a strong army after all.

The sweat and efforts they have paid countless days and nights are for the spear to point, invincible, this more than a month to protect Wei Yuanshan back to the Jin Kingdom, every Yulin army soldier has riveted their strength to prove themselves, whenever the new emperor sends people to attack the camp or harass, they will rush to the front.

After these trials, Chu Yi dared to conclude that there was a Yulin army in Shangjing, and even if there was a situation in the future where Yongguo and Manrong cooperated to attack Shangjing together, they could still hold the capital, and they could even take the initiative to attack.

However, in this life, the Yan Kingdom is already strong, and Xiao Jixing is not a fool, so he should not attack the Yan Kingdom again.

Even Wei Yuanshan sighed that if he succeeded in seizing the throne, as long as the Yulin Army was in the country for one day, the Jin Kingdom would never have any bad thoughts against the Yan Kingdom.

April followed Chu Yi step by step, like drinking ice possession.

Xiao Yan frowned, and said expressionlessly: "April, the city is about to be attacked, didn't you use several arrows yesterday, don't you prepare for it."

"Then, I, I'll go and replenish, quiver," April hesitated for a moment, then turned back to his tent, "Thanks, Childe reminds me."

Chu thought he was leaving, and then said, "You lied to him again, in fact, it is very likely that there is no need to attack the city, even if the city is really attacked, the Yulin army is all cavalry, or Yan Guo, I will not let them participate in the battle for the throne of the Jin State."

Although they are here to help Wei Yuanshan, they will not be too involved, after all, it is the political affairs of the Jin State.

Xiao Yan looked at the towering walls of Jiangcheng and said, "How does Ah Yi know that Uncle won't attack the city?"

"Go to the army to fight, then attack the enemy, then attack the army, and attack the city," Chu Yi said, "Attacking the city is a last resort, the general trend is ours, why damage the troops, if I guess correctly, my uncle should have a way to enter the city a long time ago."

She glanced at the Jin soldiers again: "What's more, the army has been encamped for an hour, and no one has ordered the manufacture of the necessary equipment for the siege, just one meal and two servings of meat, which can only mean that there will be a battle tomorrow, but it is not necessarily a siege."

Xiao Yan hooked his lips and nodded, "You're right, we really don't need to attack the city."

Speaking of military affairs, the two returned to the camp tent and spoke in detail.

"There is already my uncle's strategy in the city, tomorrow morning the army feints, someone will open the city gate, when the time comes, my uncle and I will enter the city in two ways, he will enter the palace to control the new emperor, I will go to the high priest's palace, save the princess Hanyan, and then find the bell."

Xiao Yan thought of the bell scar in his heart, and his eyes darkened a little.

Chu thought that Wei Yuanshan had all been arranged, so he asked a little excitedly, "What about me?"

"You don't have to go into the city with us, you just need to let the Yulin army guard the city gate with Cen Xiao to prevent the new emperor from escaping." Xiao Yan's tone was gentle.

As he spoke, he moved the charcoal basin in the tent to Chu Yi's side: "The weather is still cold, the princess can sleep until three poles in the sun tomorrow, and then, wait for us to triumph."

Chu Yi pursed his lips and didn't speak.

He pulled a grain of candy out of his pocket, "Isn't the princess happy?"

At this time, Wei Yuanshan walked into the tent from the outside: "Huh? You're done eating?"

He was wearing golden armor, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, majestic and mighty, and he couldn't see the shadow of the serious injuries he had been injured before.

Chu Yi coughed, took the candy in Xiao Yan's hand, quickly stuffed it into his mouth, and then sighed pitifully: "Yes, Xiao Yan is telling me that tomorrow you will attack the city and let me guard the camp alone."

"Uhhhh

It's finally confirmed, Ah Yi really doesn't like to eat sugar.

The corners of Wei Yuanshan's mouth twitched and looked away.

As long as he doesn't lean in front of them, he won't be able to see their young people!

"Little princess, this is the battlefield, although the enemy is weak and I am strong, Qingrong and they have been defeated all the way, but after entering the city, you have to face the battle, there will be danger, you are in the camp, and ensuring your safety is the most important thing." Wei Yuanshan said in a deep voice.

say

With that, he walked up to the sheepskin Gyeonggi city defense map unfolded in the camp tent, and pointed to a certain place:

"Ah Yan, let me tell me where you will enter the city tomorrow, by the way, there should be a secret room in the High Priest's Palace, I have been there many times, and according to my guess, the most likely place to be a secret room is his study and the room in the back garden......

Chu Yi suddenly asked, "Uncle, is the official position of the high priest of your Jin Kingdom hereditary?"

Wei Yuanshan was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and explained: "No, the selection of the high priest is very special, neither the imperial examination recommendation, nor the hereditary replacement, but the previous generation of high priests to accept some small apprentices, and after the junior apprentices and crowns, the high priest is selecting the best one, and the one who is selected is the next generation of high priests.

Of course, you can also accept only one apprentice, such as Qingrong, who is the only apprentice of the previous high priest."

"Master and apprentice?" Chu Yi was very surprised, "Why did you choose this?"

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes, as if he remembered something.

"The first generation of the high priest of the Jin Kingdom, is the sworn brother of the Emperor Taizu of the Jin Kingdom, when he fought with the Emperor Taizu in all directions, all five sons were killed in battle, and the two daughters also committed suicide in the hands of the enemy, and after the establishment of the Jin Kingdom, he was already old, leaving only one apprentice as his descendant." He said lightly.

Wei Yuanshan was very surprised, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect Ah Yan that you actually know so clearly about the affairs of the Jin Kingdom, could it be that Ru Dai told you before? She...... After all, she still has Jin Guo in her heart."

Xiao Yan lowered his eyes, and couldn't bear to tell Wei Yuanshan that Wei Rudai had never said half a word about Jin Guo in front of him.

He just felt that in his previous life, he should have asked Wei Yuanshan these questions like Chu Yi, so he already knew the answer.

"The first high priest had no descendants, and there was no clan lineage, so Taizu let his apprentice inherit his official position, and also married the princess to the apprentice, and later, there was a rule that the princess should marry the high priest."

Chu Yi said: "Your royal family of the Jin Kingdom has been inherited for a hundred years, and the high priest lineage has also been passed down for a hundred years, they are survival of the fittest, they have no blood relationship, and they know many secrets, maybe they are smarter than your royal family."

Wei Yuanshan's face sank: "You're right, after all, the third child is a waste, but Qingrong can deceive me."

"So uncle, don't you think we've all had a smooth journey? Qingrong and your third emperor brother are really so stupid, obediently waiting for you to come back in the city and overthrow them?"

Xiao Yan frowned slightly: "You mean, perhaps, they want to open the city gate for us to enter, and then catch turtles in the urn."

Chu Yi shook his head: "There are not so many people hidden in Jiangcheng, now there are nearly 100,000 troops of King Qin, they want to put us in, they are killing themselves, I think they may strike first, tonight, or tomorrow after the army enters the city, it will be more dangerous for me to stay in the camp!"

Wei Yuanshan couldn't help but nodded: "What the little princess said is very reasonable, it is worthy of joining the army of your Yulin Army."

He thought for a moment and said, "In order to prevent such a thing from happening, tonight I will send a team of elites to ambush outside the camp tent in advance to prevent them from attacking the camp, and tomorrow after Ah Yan and I lead the troops into the city, we will also leave enough soldiers to ensure the safety of the camp tent and you."

Whoever let him have more soldiers, even if they are scattered, they will exceed the forbidden army and the defender army in the city.

When Chu Yi heard his arrangement, he immediately became depressed.

"Tomorrow, Ah Yi will go into the city with me, and I will be responsible for her safety." Xiao Yan said suddenly, touching Chu Yi's hair.

Chu Yi nodded immediately, his eyes shining: "Okay!"

Wei Yuanshan: "What?"

Chu Yi had already quickly arranged: "I will go to the High Priest's Mansion with Xiao Yan to rescue Princess Hanyan, the Yulin Army has a special identity and will not enter the city, I will let them ambush near the camp to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp."

What can he say? The Yulin Army is the army of the Yan Kingdom, Chu Yi did not let them enter Jiangcheng, she even considered this, and he could only agree.

Wei Yuanshan reacted in hindsight: "So what you just said, little princess, is actually ...... You just don't want to stay at camp?"

Xiao Yan nodded imperceptibly.

Every time Chu Yi said that it made sense, he must have his own purpose.

Chu Yi said, "It's not that I don't want to stay in the camp, I don't want to be separated from Xiao Yan."

Wei Yuanshan turned his head and left: "...... Farewell."

At night, there was no movement in Jiangcheng.

Before dawn, in the dim darkness of the night, the huge and heavy city gate was slowly opened from the inside, making a "buzzing" sound.

Nearly 100,000 soldiers who were pressed by the black pressure had already gathered outside the city gate, and for some reason, the defenders in the city may have slept too soundly, and no one found out.

Wearing golden armor and a jade dragon cloak, Wei Yuanshan rode his horse and stood at the front of the soldiers, his eyes were extremely sharp.

The man who opened the gates for him was an old general in battle armor with gray hair.

Behind the old general, there were countless people holding torches, mixed with the generals who were defending the city.

Xiao Yan rode Xia Ying behind Wei Yuanshan, while Chu Yi pretended to be his personal soldier and hid himself in the shadows.

"Father-in-law, why are you?" Wei Yuanshan hurriedly dismounted and helped the old general up, very respectful.

The old general looked at him, tears glistening in his eyes: "This matter is handed over to others, and the old man is not at ease. Your Highness is safe and sound, great, the people of the Jin Kingdom, they have been waiting for you to come back for a long time!"
