Chapter 251: Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant
Shrouded in moonlight, Zuo Xingyan was as light as a cat, carefully avoiding the patrolling soldiers and sneaking towards Wei Wuji's camp.
She knew that this mission was fraught with danger, but she was willing to take the risk in order to be able to end this senseless war as soon as possible.
Jing Beihan followed, his serious face being sprinkled by the moonlight, giving him extra majesty.
His eyes flashed with determination, and he held the dragon-shaped jade pendant tightly in his hand.
This was given to him by his father, proving that he was the rightful heir of the Great Liang, and it was the most important token of his life.
The two of them were like two night owls, dodging the light and avoiding the eyes of many patrols, and finally managed to infiltrate Wei Wuji's camp.
Wei Wuji sat in the center of the tent, holding a complex battle map in his hand, his eyes sharp as a knife, trying to find out the weaknesses of the rebel army.
Suddenly, he felt a strange breeze on his cheeks, cool, very different from the warm breeze around him.
He was just about to raise his head, when he suddenly felt a cold and sharp sensation in his neck, as if he was touched by a cold blade.
His hand froze slightly, but the expression on his face did not change at all, but the sharpness in his gaze increased a little.
"Wei Wuji, your opponent is me."
Zuo Xingyan's voice sounded softly from his ears, and the voice was like a ghost in the dark night, faint and cold.
Her dagger clung to Wei Wuji's neck, the sharp tip of the knife almost cutting through his skin, leaving him with no room to resist.
Zuo Xingyan stared at Wei Wuji closely, and looked straight at him with a sharp gaze, "General Wei, you are also a person from Daliang, can't you see the corruption of the imperial court and the suffering of the people? Our target is the corruption of the imperial court, not the innocent people. "
Wei Wuji didn't move, the cold sting of the dagger made him sober, and he raised his eyebrows, "I, Wei Wuji, have seen a lot of treacherous things in the name of righteousness, do you think this will make me believe you?"
Before he could finish speaking, he felt a more familiar aura. Jing Beihan took out a dragon-shaped jade pendant from his sleeve, and the clearly visible dragon-shaped depiction shone brightly, which was the token of the person in his memory, the former prince.
"Look clearly, General Wei." Jing Bei said coldly, "This is my father's jade pendant, do you recognize it?"
Wei Wuji's thoughts were suddenly pulled back to the past.
Many years ago, Wei Wuji was just a reckless man, with no family background, let alone the favor of the powerful.
At that time, he was framed by some malicious magnates, just because his martial arts were strong and threatened their position.
However, at the most critical time, it was the first prince of Daliang who stood up to protect him and saved his life.
The first prince included him in his personal guard, which gave him the courage to face life and the possibility of climbing up.
The kindness and resourcefulness of the first prince deeply touched Wei Wuji.
He vowed to serve the former prince, and even between life and death, he was fearless.
However, the sudden death of the former prince made him lose his direction, and he was like a shell that had lost his soul, living aimlessly.
Many years later, when he saw the dragon-shaped jade pendant in Jing Beihan's hand, the emotion in his heart instantly surged into his heart.
Jing Beihan in front of him was actually his orphan. Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, "Okay, I promise you."
In this way, the crisis in Changling was easily resolved, and the rebel army became even more imposing.
The strength of the various cities was constantly replenished, and the personnel and weapons of the rebel army were replenished.
The Bright Moon Merchant also procured supplies for the rebels across the continent, and it was only a matter of time before they invaded the capital.
On this day, Zuo Xingyan was meditating and resting in the tent.
The jade dragon in the space suddenly spoke: "I suddenly have a bad premonition, the weather is going to change, you have to be careful recently." ”
During this period of fighting, Zuo Xingyan had no time to communicate with Yulong, she thought that Yulong had been recuperating.
"I will." Zuo Xingyan agreed.
The jade dragon's hunch was not wrong, and it didn't take long for the sky to start raining heavily.
At first, everyone thought that it would stop soon, but the heavy rain continued for several days and nights, and there was no sign of stopping, and everyone began to worry.
Jing Yannian came to Jing Beihan's tent.
"Brother Han, this heavy rain continues, and it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time." Jing Yannian has grown into a small pioneer who can lead troops to fight at this time.
The rebels were now located in a low-lying river valley, and the heavy rains had raised the water level of the river so much that it was no longer suitable for garrisoning troops.
"Yes, we drove overnight and continued north." Jing Beihan said, pointing to a location on the map.
"Come here and rest and wait for the weather to clear."
After the order was given, the rebels quickly moved.
But the rain became heavier and heavier, and people couldn't even open their eyes.
The march of the army in the rain was extremely difficult, the muddy ground made people weak under their feet, and even the horses slipped and fell several times.
Jing Beihan and Zuo Xingyan led the team side by side, soaking wet, but they did not complain in the slightest, which boosted the morale of the soldiers.
On the way to their march, several large stones suddenly rolled down from the cliff, and the army fell into chaos.
Zuo Xingyan exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly used her wind ability to push the stone away, protecting most of the people, but a few soldiers were still injured.
Seeing this, Jing Beihan hurriedly sent people to rescue the wounded, and ordered the army to stand by to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to attack.
But the heavens did not follow people's wishes, and the enemy army appeared at this time.
Wearing hats and robes, and holding bloody blades, they rushed into the crowd while the rebels were unprepared, slashing left and right.
In the midst of the raging storm, the enemy's surprise attack hit the rebels like a heavy blow.
They thought that the heavy rain would be able to cover their whereabouts, but they did not expect to be used by the enemy army, making them passive.
On a night of torrential rain and thunder and lightning, Jing Beihan and Zuo Xingyan were leading the rebel army to fight fiercely with the enemy.
They rode their horses, soaking wet, and were surrounded by layers of shadows of the enemy's shadows looming in the light of lightning.
During an onslaught of enemy forces, Jing Beihan and Zuo Xingyan were forced to separate, and they tried to defeat the enemy and reunite.
However, the weather was almost undiscerning, the wind blew their vision, and the heavy rain washed the ground into mud, and their horses were in trouble.
Just as Jing Beihan was looking for Zuo Xingyan in the rain, his horse's hooves suddenly slipped, and the man and the horse fell into a stream with an undercurrent.
Jing Beihan struggled, but the heavy rain and icy water made him unable to control his direction, and he could only let the stream wash him away.
The same predicament happened to Zuo Xingyan, her horse stumbled on a steep slope, and she was thrown out of her horse and rolled into a dense jungle.
