Chapter 173: Mountain Rain is Coming (Part II)
Yang Yi was shocked when he heard that Han Chang said that his edict was false. But his face was silent, and he still pretended to be in the dark and asked: "Brother Han doesn't dare to talk nonsense, how can this edict written by the Holy Lord be fake?"
Han Chang knew that this edict was fake, and he also knew that he Yang Yi was knowingly asking, so he pointed it out and said: "It is indeed difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the handwriting and the seal alone, but although this edict is also used in cloud brocade, it is not a real dragon embroidery." The first two can be faked, but the royal embroidered brocade in this palace cannot lie. Let me ask General Yang a sentence for you, what are your intentions for deceiving the two of us with a fake edict!"
Jin Yang hurriedly took Jiao Zhao from Han Chang's hand, and his face instantly became solemn. Then he said, "General Yang, what are you doing? Falsely preaching the holy decree, but it is a capital crime!"
Yang Yi clenched his fists and sighed. He didn't care much about it, and said directly to the two: "Yes, this edict was drafted by me for the saint, but there is a reason why I asked the two of you to return to the garrison." ”
Both of them listened to the frowning of their eyebrows, and listened to what he explained next.
"Previously, the demon army gathered in Shuozhou, and it happened that the strength of the Nine Shadows Sealing Demon Sword Array was also weakening, so I thought they were going to attack Tianding Pass, so I asked Your Majesty for help. But what I didn't expect was that I received a report a few days ago, saying that the demon army in Rover City was divided into two routes, marching towards the east and west. At this point, I suspect that the real purpose of the demon army is not my Heavenly Pass, but Binghe Gorge and Ningpu Port!"
"What!" The two of them were shocked, this Binghe Gorge and Ningpu Port are their own stations, once they are lost, the demon clan will be involved in the Central Plains, and it is inevitable that the common people will be catastrophic.
"In that case, you are afraid that returning this matter to the Holy Lord will more or less delay time, so you take a risk, and do not hesitate to deceive to get the two of us to go back. Although Jin Yang's words were strong, he felt in his heart that Yang Yi had good intentions.
"Yes, at a critical juncture, you have to be flexible, and it's okay to cut first and then play. But it was Mu Yuncheng who explained for Yang Yi on the side.
"Who are you?" The two saw that Mu Yuncheng was not wearing armor, so he should not be a general in the army. And he wears a long sword at his waist, and he doesn't look like a strategist's staff, so he has this question.
Mu Yuncheng bowed and saluted, neither humble nor arrogant: "Yunzhou Longxiang Mu Yuncheng, meet the two generals." ”
Seeing that Mu Yuncheng was polite and handsome and extraordinary, the two of them also appreciated and loved it, so they nodded and said: "I have heard that Longxiang Mufu has many talents, and today I can see that its rising star is so outstanding, and I suddenly feel that my dynasty is blessed for a long time, and there are still such descendants who have exhausted their efforts for our dynasty and done their best." ”
"The general has won the award, Yun Cheng is just an ignorant descendant, and he relies on his friends and elders in the family. This time I came here to ask the two generals to return their troops to the station. Mu Yuncheng bowed again, but it made the two of them feel quite embarrassed.
This assistance in defending the Heavenly Determination Pass is the will of the Holy Lord, and the Demon Clan's attack on Glacier Gorge and Ningpu Port is only based on analysis. In case the demons attack from Tianding Pass, their own head will not be guaranteed. Now if you want stability, you are pretending not to know about this matter, and you are still stationed in Tianding Pass, if the demon army really attacks these two places, then you can play the saint, and it is okay to return the troops to the station.
It's just that some people will have to be sacrificed in this way.
Seeing that the two of them were reluctant to reply, Mu Yuncheng had already guessed what the two of them were thinking, if they returned to the army, they must be afraid that the saint would be held accountable for this matter.
"If the two generals are for their own selfishness, the people in the two places will be rested, if they return the army now, they can still stop the invasion of the demons, but once they hesitate, the demon army will capture these two places, and it will be too late to regret it!" Mu Yuncheng persuaded him hard, he knew that Mo Yiyue and the others were on the front line at the moment, once the demons attacked, and the reinforcements were delayed, their situation would definitely become very dangerous.
"Two generals, if the Holy Lord is held accountable for this matter, I, Yang Yi, am willing to take full responsibility. It is only said that I forged the decree and deceived the two generals, and you have no knowledge of it. Yang Yi saw that the two of them were still ambiguous about Mu Yuncheng's attitude, so he stepped forward and vouched for the two of them.
Seeing Jin Yang shook his head, he said earnestly: "It's not that I'm cowardly and afraid, it's just that I haven't figured out the attack route of this demon clan yet, in case the two of us lead the troops back, the demon clan will not attack from these two places, but still attack from Tianding Pass." At that time, the lives of the two of us will be small, if we lose three levels, but it will affect the common people!"
Seeing this, Mu Yuncheng immediately became serious, and saw him take off the family jade plate from his waist, and swore with both fingers to the sky: "I guarantee with the reputation of the Mu family, the demon army will definitely attack Ningpu Port and Binghe Gorge." ”
Jin Yang sighed, turned his head and looked at Han Chang, and after his mind met, he nodded together: "Okay! ”
But Mu Yuncheng and Yang Yi shook their heads together, and said in unison: "This is not a bet, we will not bet on the common people." ”
If the demons knock on the Tianding Pass, with a few masters sitting here, there are still guards in this pass. But if the demon army is attacking Ningpu Port and Binghe Gorge, it will be a flat river, and no one can do it.
"Two generals, if you are going to leave for your return immediately, Yun Cheng has another suggestion here. ”
The two were just about to leave the tent, but they heard Mu Yuncheng calling from behind, so they turned around and listened to him continue.
"I heard that General Yang has a secret agent in Youzhou Rover City, and he can report the movements of the demon army at any time. Since our army has secret agents, the demon army must also have an eyeliner in our army. If the two generals leave, they should not make a big fuss, they should leave the camp tent, keep the organization to cover people's eyes and ears, and then march at night to successfully avoid the eyes of the demons planted in our army. ”
Jin Yang and Han Chang nodded their heads again and again when they heard this, and Yang Yi was even more impressed by Mu Yuncheng. It's really rare to think that he is so young and thinks about everything so thoroughly.
Night, just around the corner of the day.
Mo Yiyue stood on the tower of Ningpu Port and looked into the distance.
Tonight, the stars and the moon were dim, and there was a faint murderous intent permeating the sea. He tried to keep himself awake and did not dare to slack off, but the sleepless days made him almost exhausted at the moment, and his heavy eyelids were open and closed, making his eyes hazy. Someone suddenly slapped him on the shoulder from behind, and when he looked back, it was Chu Shuiyu who brought a bowl of hot wontons.
It's true that I haven't eaten a thing tonight.
"Brother Mo, eat it while it's hot, I'm afraid it's a little cold all the way. With that, she handed the soup bowl with the wontons to Mo Yiyue.
Through the steaming heat, the girl's beautiful face is like a flower, like a jade fragrance, very lovable.
And at this moment, a trace of emotion arises spontaneously in my heart.
A dull horn suddenly sounded on the distant seaside, Mo Yiyue hurriedly turned her head, and saw that the originally quiet and deep night sky was suddenly illuminated by a firelight, the crimson light swallowed up like the mouth of a giant beast, and the rain of fire in the sky fell like a meteor, smashing on the ships moored on the shore of Ningpu Port, the entire port instantly turned into a sea of red flames, and the buildings and ships were immediately turned into charcoal and fly ashes.
It seems that the evil spirit has launched a night attack on Ningpu Port!
