Chapter 169: Harassment
Xi Ruhai heard Zhou Linlin say this, and was so frightened that he fell to the ground and didn't dare to get up, and hurriedly said: "How can Her Royal Highness the princess say this, Lao Chen, I am loyal to the king and Her Royal Highness the princess, Zhou Hesheng is just a villain who usurped the throne." At this time, Xi Ruhai was already sincerely afraid, and even called Zhou Hesheng a villain.
Zhou Linlin glanced at Xi Ruhai at this time, and suddenly drew out her bow and arrow and aimed at Xi Ruhai. At this time, Xi Ruhai did not dodge, but just lay on the spot motionless. Zhou Linlin continued to ask at this time: "If one day you meet your son Xichen on the battlefield, what will you do?" At this time, Zhou Linlin's bow was already full, and the arrow would leave the string at any time.
Mu Xiaofeng saw that the situation was too tense, and hurriedly dissuaded Zhou Linlin, telling her not to embarrass Xi Ruhai, Mu Xiaofeng has always believed that Xi Ruhai is a good person. I saw that Xi Ruhai suddenly stood up at this time, pulled out the short knife on his waist, and then cut his palm, and blood flowed out of the old man's palm.
"I swear to the sky that if I have two hearts today, I have a trace of selfishness for Xi Chen, and our Xi family will die all over the house. I am willing to assist Her Royal Highness the princess to ascend to the throne and go to the soup and die forever. Xi Ruhai actually made such a ruthless oath, which made Zhou Linlin startled, and the strings in his hands were accidentally released.
I saw a sharp arrow slashing past Xi Ruhai's ear, just rubbing off some of his white hair, but in the face of Zhou Linlin's attack, Xi Ruhai still didn't dodge, and his eyes were full of determination. Zhou Linlin finally believed Xi Ruhai at this time, a smile appeared on her face, and then she hurriedly apologized to Xi Ruhai and found someone to treat and bandage him, and then took Xi Ruhai into Qu Yifeng's mansion together.
Several people came to the hall, and then sat down under Qu Yifeng's arrangement. Zhou Linlin sat in front of the hall door, while Mu Xiaofeng sat next to Zhou Linlin. Qu Yifeng and Xi Ruhai sat on either side closest to Zhou Linlin, while the others sat down in the back row according to their eldest and youngest children.
Zhou Linlin knew that Xi Ruhai and Qu Yifeng would never help themselves unconditionally, as this cruel real world, they must have interests to help themselves. "Let's talk about it, if one day I can really kill back to the royal capital, what do the two city lords want?" Zhou Linlin glanced at Xi Ruhai and Qu Yifeng with her eyes.
Xi Ruhai knows that Zhou Linlin, a little girl, is not simple, she is young but knows people's hearts, Xi Ruhai naturally told the truth, "Our Xi family has been guarding Huguan City for Junguo for many years, I hope that my grandson Xi Mo can enter the royal capital to serve, so that the Xi family can have children and grandchildren to stay in the royal capital." ”
Xi Ruhai's request is not simple, if Xi Mo really enters the royal capital, Xi Ruhai has troops in Huguan City, and the future influence of the Xi family should not be underestimated. But at this juncture, Zhou Linlin also has a way, she must use Xi Ruhai's troops, so she can only nod slightly and agree. At this time, Zhou Linlin set his eyes on Qu Yifeng again, and motioned for him to also say his demands.
Qu Yifeng stroked his beard at this time, then laughed out loud and said, "Has Her Royal Highness forgotten that you and my grandson Mu Xiaofeng have a marriage contract." It was only natural for me to help my granddaughter-in-law. ”
Zhou Linlin was stunned when she heard Qu Yifeng say this, she almost forgot that Mu Xiaofeng was her nominal fiancé. Zhou Linlin secretly glanced at Mu Xiaofeng, and then lowered her head with a flushed face with shame.
Mu Xiaofeng couldn't sit still at this time, he hurriedly stood up and explained to Qu Yifeng: "Grandpa, this was the will of the king before, and now the king is gone. Besides, I have a clear relationship with Zhou Linlin, and I was only forced to accept the king's will at the beginning. The princess had promised me that she would find a way to break the marriage. ”
Qu Yifeng's face turned blue when he heard Mu Xiaofeng say this, he slapped the chair, and then scolded angrily: "Parents are in charge of all major matters in marriage, not to mention that we are following the will of the first king, and it is really unfaithful and unfilial for you to say such things again." ”
Zhou Linlin saw that the situation was out of control if it continued like this, she got up and walked to Mu Xiaofeng's side, pulled the corner of his clothes, and asked him to sit down. Then he said: "I will not deny that Mu Xiaofeng is my fiancé, as long as you can defeat my brother for me, I will naturally marry Mu Xiaofeng." ”
At this time, Qiao Zi heard Zhou Linlin finish saying this, stood up silently, and then left the hall. Xi Mo saw Qiao Zi running out, and he was a little relieved in his heart, so he immediately chased him out.
At this time, Mu Xiaofeng was just about to get up, Qu Lingsha shook his head at Mu Xiaofeng, Mu Xiaofeng could only give up, sat in his position and sighed, but Mu Xiaofeng still did not suppress his emotions, and it didn't take long for him to stand up and run out despite the reprimands of his mother and grandfather.
However, Xi Mo had already caught up with Qiao Zi and grabbed Qiao Zi's hand, only to see that Qiao Zi was already crying like a pear blossom with rain.
Xi Mo didn't say much, hugged Qiao Zi in his arms, and then comforted softly: "Don't be sad, I'm still here." Qiao Zi was in turmoil at this time, she wanted to break free from Xi Mo, but her strength was not enough, so she could only throw herself into Xi Mo's arms and cry loudly.
At this time, Mu Xiaofeng also chased out, but when he saw Qiao Zi in Xi Mo's arms, he silently turned around and left. He knew that Qiao Zi and Xi Mo also had a marriage contract, maybe Qiao Zi would choose Xi Mo sooner or later, and the relationship between Mu Xiaofeng and Qiao Zi had cracked again.
Mu Xiaofeng and the others rested in Luohai City for a few days, and they had been observing the movements of Zhou Hesheng's troops. According to the report of the spies, Zhou Hesheng did not come to the front line in person this time, and this time it was Xi Ruhai's son who led the troops - Xi Chen. Xichen came here with about 50,000 horses, but the combined strength of Luohai City and Huguan City was less than 10,000.
Fortunately, Xichen's strength is not high enough at the moment, and he can only open the seven yuan solutions. And Huguan City has Dean Kajia who can open nine yuan solutions and Xi Ruhai who can open eight yuan solutions, plus Qu Yifeng in Luohai City can also open eight yuan solutions. Although Xichen couldn't defeat these masters one-on-one, his two fists were hard to beat with four hands, and this advantage in strength also gave him the confidence to raise troops to attack.
Zhou Linlin studied the map of the distribution of forces for several days, but she knew that if the two armies clashed directly, they would definitely lose to Xichen. Since the troops were stationed in the field, the military food supply had to be transported, and the only way to harass them was to do so.
Zhou Linlin called Zhang Wenyu and Xi Ruhai at this time, both of them are powerful shadow people, Zhou Linlin saw the two of them and then ordered: "I hope that the two of you can take two troops to explore Xi Chen's supply routes, once discovered, Zhang Wenyu will go up to lead the battle, and he must provoke the other party." Then he pretended to be invincible, left some treasure and fled. ”
Zhang Wenyu smiled and nodded, then looked at Xi Ruhai beside him again, and asked, "What should the seniors do then?" ”
Xi Ruhai laughed at this time, he stroked his beard to show that he had understood Zhou Linlin's intentions, he explained: "I must find a way to set fire to their supplies, and then fight Zhang Wenyu back and forth, right?" ”
Zhou Linlin nodded at this time, and asked Zhang Wenyu to call Mu Xiaofeng and Yun Jie over. After Mu Xiaofeng and Yun Jie arrived, Zhou Linlin ordered the two of them to follow Zhang Wenyu and them with a force of warriors, and as long as they saw a fire in front of them, they rushed up to support and cover the retreat of the Shadow Cultivators' troops.
After Mu Xiaofeng and Yun Jie received the order, they also went to lead the people and horses to follow Zhang Wenyu and them to set off. This force first bypassed the camp of the troops in the evening and penetrated behind them. The Shadowmen then scattered around in search of a supply route for the Sunset Army.
Half a day later, the Shadowmen returned, and they had figured out the supply route for the Sunset Army. So Xi Ruhai and Zhang Wenyu took the Shadow One step ahead and ran directly in the direction of the supply troops, while Mu Xiaofeng and Yun Jie's troops followed.
It didn't take long for Zhang Wenyu to see the supply force, only to see Zhang Wenyu rushing over directly, stopping the way of the troops, pointing at them and saying: "This mountain is my territory, if you want to pass from here, you can leave something." ”
The leader of the supply force was furious when he saw that Zhang Wenyu, a hairy boy, wanted to block the road and rob, he immediately opened the five yuan solutions on his body, raised the sword and shield in his hand and rushed towards Zhang Wenyu.
Seeing that the other party was menacing, Zhang Wenyu hurriedly raised the short knife in his hand to defend. But this leader is strong, and he knocked Zhang Wenyu away with a sword. Zhang Wenyu spat out a mouthful of blood, knowing that the gap between his strength and the leader of the five solutions in front of him was too big, and he hurriedly ordered a retreat.
When Zhang Wenyu fled, according to Zhou Linlin's instructions, he threw all the treasures he was carrying on the ground. And when the chief saw the money, he hurriedly beckoned the brothers to go up and rob the treasures of the earth.
Seeing that the formation of the supply troops was completely chaotic, at the sound of an order, hundreds of Shadow Men came out from the side and burned all the supplies.
At this time, the leader of the supply force saw that his supplies were all gone, and he was angry, and gathered all the vitality of his body to his feet, and his speed burst out to catch up with Zhang Wenyu who had fled.
Zhang Wenyu saw that the supply troops were in chaos, so he knew that his time had come to counterattack, and commanded his troops to turn back and counterattack.
But Zhang Wenyu saw that the leader had chased after him, and he was still not the opponent of this leader. I saw the leader sweep towards Zhang Wenyu with a sword, and Zhang Wenyu dodged lightly. He knew that even if he defended with a short knife, he would not be able to catch the leader's attack.
The leader was upset and irritable by Zhang Wenyu, who was hiding around, only to hear the leader roar, and then threw the shield in his hand, and the flying shield hit Zhang Wenyu.
Zhang Wenyu was hit by the leader's flying shield, and the whole person felt dizzy and a little unsteady. The leader took the opportunity to rush up at this time, and cut off Zhang Wenyu's head, Zhang Wenyu couldn't dodge anymore this time.
"Don't touch my brother!" Suddenly, Mu Xiaofeng's shout came from behind Zhang Wenyu, Mu Xiaofeng was covered in purple vitality, protecting Zhang Wenyu's body, and the heavy sword in his hand directly stopped the leader's attack.
But Mu Xiaofeng, who had only opened a Yuan solution, was still repelled by the strong power of the leader, but fortunately, Zhang Wenyu was successfully protected.
