Chapter 352: The conspiracy unfolds
Drive, drive, drive
In the Changbai Mountains and Forests, the cold wind was howling, and a cavalry team was whistling by, all of whom were wearing elite black armor, with a unique standard steel knife of the Jurchen tribe around their waists, and bows and arrows on their backs.
Even the dead trees on both sides of the road were shaken, and snow was constantly falling from above, smashing some deep craters in the ground.
At the front of this group of people and horses, there is a burly figure wearing black fur, this person has a broad face, a little blue and black stubble on his temples, thick eyebrows and big eyes, giving people a sense of not being angry and arrogant.
In his hand, he held a wide carved gold longbow, the bowstring was made of rare tiger tendons, which looked extraordinarily strong and luxurious at a glance, and the bow and arrow that was carried were inlaid with gorgeous feathers at the end, which was even more extraordinary
This person is the king of the northern courtyard of the Jurchen clan, and the great prince of the Jurchen who has the best chance to seize the throne now, Yelu Chang
"Right ahead"
Yelu Chang took the lead and roared along the mountain road, while his eyes were firmly fixed on the mountains and forests in the distance, and he saw the figure of a wild deer flying through the forest, jumping
bang
With a loud shout, the bowstring exploded, and the arrow burst through the woods, striking precisely at the neck of the wild deer.
A stream of red blood splattered out, and the wild deer was directly shocked by the huge force and flew out, and then fell to the ground, struggling a few times, and it was completely out of breath.
"The King's Good Archery"
The accompanying guards cheered one after another, and Yeluchang also showed a smug look on his face, and rode straight away, galloping towards the carcass of the wild deer, and many guards followed behind him.
shout
However, just when everyone came to the vicinity of the wild deer carcass, there was a sudden sound of breaking wind in the mountains and forests, and everyone was startled, and looked in the direction from which the sound came, and four or five black crossbow arrows shot out from the mountains and forests, all of which were accurately swept towards Yeluchang
"Be careful, King"
When Yeluchang's face was frightened, one of the generals behind him had already reacted, slapped his horse's back, flew up, and came to Yeluchang's side, and at the same time the scimitar swept and stopped on several crossbow arrows
bang
Most of the crossbow arrows were shaken down, but there was also a crossbow arrow that passed through the blade and stabbed deeply into the shoulder of the middle-aged general, the speed of the crossbow arrow was extremely fast, and the power was also very strong, and the general was directly shocked and flew off the horse
At the same time, black figures also appeared in the woods, all of whom were dressed in black, with bows and crossbows on their backs, and swords in their hands, and were rapidly blasting towards Yeluchang and the others
These people are extremely fast, and at first glance, they are all people with high martial arts, which is extraordinary
"Protector King"
These guards were all the elites around Yeluchang, and their reaction speed was extraordinary, they drew their swords one after another, and then rushed towards those black-clothed people, and at the same time, two of them were guarding Yeluchang's left and right, leading him back quickly
A mile away from this hunting ground is the wolf cavalry of the North Courtyard, and when you get there, you can be considered truly safe
They simply don't have too much to do with these assassins
burst
When Yelu Chang and the others retreated, the guards who stayed behind were already fighting with the black-clothed assassins, only to see the blade flash, and a guard on the horse was directly wiped off the neck, and then the human head flew out with blood
"Damn, where did this assassin come from?"
Yelu Chang turned his head to see this scene, the expression on his face was extremely hideous, and there was a thick evil aura.
"Don't worry, the king doesn't have to worry, withdraw first"
The two generals beside him didn't say much, the guards on his left and right, rode their horses and whipped towards the place where the wolf cavalry was stationed in the northern courtyard, and the sound of horses' hooves on the ground was rushing, rapid and awe-inspiring.
shout
However, not long after everyone ran out, there was a low sound of crossbow arrows on both sides of the woods, and the two generals looked horrified, and when they looked left and right, there were four black-clothed masters and galloping crossbow arrows
"And the Assassin King, you go first, we'll stop them"
The two generals looked solemn, and the back of the knife slapped on the back of Yeluchang's horse, the black war horse was in pain, neighed, and accelerated its pace, and at the same time, the two generals intercepted the black-clothed assassins on the left and right respectively
bang
The scimitar collided with the blade, erupting with a low muffled sound, and the dazzling sparks, and the two sides fought together.
drive
drive
Yelu Chang was also extremely nervous when there was no guard around him, he slapped the horse's back hard, and galloped in the direction of the wolf cavalry, and the speed was even faster
However, the assassination of the man in black was exquisitely arranged and continuous, and he drove about half the distance when a rope suddenly tightened between the mountain roads and intercepted the legs of the war horse
Herod
The war horse couldn't dodge, his hooves were broken, and he rolled forward, Yelu Chang is a general on horseback, and his own martial arts are not weak, at the critical moment, he slapped his palm on the horse's back, and the whole person rose in the air.
bang
He fell heavily to the ground, and rolled forward twice by inertia, barely resisting the inertia of the forward rush, and he looked up sharply, only to see two men in black flying from the dense forest
Almost in the blink of an eye, those two sword lights had already arrived in front of Yeluchang's face
Sharp and pressing
"Despicable villain, dare to assassinate the king"
"Get out of the way for this king"
Yelu Chang's face was fierce and fierce, and the scimitar in his hand swept forward violently, colliding directly with the two long swords, and with a bang, the invisible wave of qi spread, and both sides stepped backwards.
"Who are you, why do you want to kill this king, and who sent you?"
Yelu Chang leaned back against a big tree, stared vigilantly at the two men in black, and asked coldly.
"Die"
However, the two assassins didn't talk nonsense at all, and jumped up, and the two sword lights had already come to Yeluchang again.
bang
At the moment of life and death, Ye Luchang did not dare to be careless, his burly body flashed to the side, dodged the sword light, and then rushed behind a man in black, and the scimitar swept directly towards the opponent's neck
bite
The man in black turned around and swung his sword to resist, and was shocked by the tremendous force and stepped back two steps, but before Yeluchang could withdraw his scimitar, the sword light of another man in black had already come to him
Snort
Ye Luchang was stabbed in the shoulder, blood splattered, flesh rolled up, and he was also shocked and kicked backwards.
His complexion was also a little pale
"Die"
The cold color in the eyes of the two black-clothed men was even stronger, the two glanced at each other, and flanked Yeluchang left and right, respectively, the sword light flickered, and directly forced Yeluchang's face and heart
"Damn it"
The coldness in Yelu Chang's eyes also became more and more intense, he snorted coldly, and waved his knife to block with a brazen attitude.
bang
One slashed back one of them's sword, but another stabbed him in the left shoulder, blood splattering again, and his face pale
There was even a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth
"Dead"
Under the severe pain, Yelu Chang's body also erupted with unconcealable ferocity, only to see that he directly grabbed the long sword with his left hand, and swung the knife with his right hand, directly cutting off the head of the man in black
Blood splattered, and he stepped backwards with his sword
"Dead"
The other man in black still refused to stop, his eyes were extremely cold, and he swung his knife again, Yelu Chang's face was solemn, and he barely raised his strength to resist, but it was already the end of the crossbow.
With a bang, his whole body was shocked and fell backwards, half-kneeling on the ground.
He gasped for breath, blood staining his body red.
"You go die"
The man in black flew towards him with a fierce gaze, and the long sword stabbed into Yeluchang's face with an extremely sharp attitude.
"Stop"
And just when Yelu often thought that he was going to die, a crisp angry shout came from the dense forest not far away, and then an arrow flew through the bushes and came to the man in black
bang
The man in black turned around with a knife, directly cutting off the crossbow arrow, and then turned his head to see that dozens of men in rough fur animal clothes, led by a young girl, were hurrying towards this side
"Abominable"
The man in black frowned, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he turned around and stabbed at the seriously injured Yeluchang, but at this time, Yeluchang also saw life, and his body burst out with unimaginable potential
bang
He blocked the opponent's long sword with a sword, and then kicked the man in black in the chest, and both of them rolled backwards, finally opening up some distance
"Save me, I'm Yeluchang, the king of the North Courtyard. ”
Yelu often got up in a hurry, and ran wildly in the direction of the woman and the others
"Don't go"
The man in black got up from the ground and rushed towards Yeluchang again, but he didn't know whether he had accidentally stepped on something and slipped to the ground, either intentionally or pretendingly
And for this moment's delay, Yelu Chang was already surrounded by the woman and some of the people she led.
"Abominable"
The man in black stared at everyone for a moment, took a deep breath, turned around and blasted into the depths of the dense forest
There are many people on the other side, and he has only one person, and it is impossible to kill Yeluchang
You can only withdraw first
"How are you?"
The man in black retreated, and no one chased him, and people surrounded Yeluchang one after another, with nervousness and worry on their faces, especially the woman, who held Yeluchang in her arms, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of unbearable.
"Help me"
When Yelu Chang was unconscious, he saw this woman, her face was gentle and beautiful, giving people an indescribable wonderful feeling, he hesitated, grabbed the woman's shoulders hard, and said,
"I will repay you"
After saying that, Yelu Chang was completely unconscious.
"Take him back to the tribe"
The woman frowned, handed Yelu Chang into the hands of several guards beside her, and then whispered.
"Yes"
A few people nodded slightly, took Yelu Chang up, and then quickly swept towards the depths of the dense forest.
Soon after, it disappeared without a trace.
About half an hour later, the people led Yeluchang to a small tribe, which was located in the depths of Changbai Mountain, and the number of people in the tribe was not very large, only a few hundred.
A few tents stand here and there, resisting the wind and snow between heaven and earth.
When they returned to the tent with Yeluchang, they nervously called in a doctor to treat his wounds.
At this time, the woman appeared outside the tent, and opposite her was a woman who was also wearing a fur, with a charming and cold face, it was Xiao Yu'er.
"Lord Rakshasa, the plan is going well, Yelu is often seriously injured and was rescued by us, what should I do next?"
Zhao Ruwan said in a low voice.
After she came to Liaodong, she was sent to this tribe by Xiao Yu'er, and through some connections, she became the leader of this tribe, and this attack and the rescue of Yeluchang were also arranged by them
"Seduce him, make him like you, and then use your tribe to escort him back to the North Courtyard, on the way, we will arrange people to kill all these people in the tribe, so that your identity will not be exposed at all"
"And you are homeless, and you have a reason to stay in the North Courtyard. ”
"Next, someone will cooperate with you, get rid of the concubine of the North Courtyard, and then help you ascend to the throne, and then you can find a way to let the North Courtyard and the South Courtyard do it."
"For specific plans, someone will secretly contact you"
Xiao Yu'er crossed her hands in front of her chest, placed them in the purple fur sleeve robe, and whispered,
"This matter is not trivial, if there is the slightest mistake, the Overseer will never let you go, you have to be careful, understand?"
"Lord Rakshasa rest assured, Wan'er will do her best"
Zhao Ruwan hesitated for a moment, then raised her head to look at Xiao Yu'er, with a slight pleading tone in her tone, and said in a low voice,
"Lord Rakshasa, can I ask you to tell the Overseer one thing?"
"What's the matter?"
Xiao Yu'er's brows were slightly raised, and a trace of impatience flashed.
"After this Liaodong incident, Wan'er wants to quit the Qinghong Courtyard and live an ordinary life, hoping that the overseer can agree. ”
Zhao Ruwan frowned and said softly,
"Wan'er doesn't want to continue like this, please rest assured, Wan'er will never leak any news about Qinghongyuan and Lijinglou, Wan'er will stay away from the Central Plains, and will never show up again."
"I just ask the Overseer to give Wan'er a way out"
"You want to quit"
Xiao Yu'er looked at Zhao Ruwan, and her coquettish face showed a hint of surprise, but she didn't say much, but snorted and said,
"Just do things in peace, I'll tell the Overseer about this."
"Thank you, Lord Rakshasa"
Zhao Ruwan bowed her hand respectfully and said in a low voice.
Xiao Yu'er didn't pay attention to her anymore, snorted lightly, turned around and got on a jujube red war horse, which gradually disappeared into the mountains and forests with the sound of horses' hooves.
"I hope the Overseer will promise me, so that I can stay with you for a long time, and stay away from this place of right and wrong forever"
Zhao Ruwan looked at the wind and snow, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice.
There was a strong expectation on that delicate face.
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed
The sun was shining, and although the wind and snow were still rapid, the chill was not too cold.
Yelu often sat on the couch, let Zhao Ruwan untie the gauze on his shoulder, and carefully wiped the bloody scab with potion, although it was a little painful, he gritted his teeth and said nothing
As a general on horseback, these injuries were not too serious for him, and over the years, he had encountered many injuries in the southern and northern wars, which were not enough to care about at all
At this moment, he was looking at Zhao Ruwan carefully, and there was a trace of heat surging on his broad face.
"Your wound is healed, King"
Zhao Ruwan noticed Ye Luchang's fiery gaze, and a trace of unconcealable blush appeared on her delicate face, then lowered her head and said in a low voice,
"Although the injury is not very serious, it is best not to move in the next few days, otherwise it is easy to break the wound and it will be difficult to heal."
"Hmm"
Yelu Chang was in a trance, came back to his senses, stood up, and let Zhao Ruwan dress him.
"How's the news out there?"
After a slight hesitation, Yelu Chang raised his head, stared at Zhao Ruwan, and asked in a low voice.
He was assassinated, and then here for several days to recuperate, and now he is worried about what happened to the Jurchens.
There will be no turmoil
He suspected that all these assassinations had nothing to do with the Southern Courtyard.
"Our people have been to Yancheng, the news of your assassination has come out, and now the whole Yancheng is panicked and martial law, but there is no turmoil in the north courtyard."
"And in the South Courtyard, there doesn't seem to be any movement, but there are many people looking for you, the king. ”
Zhao Ruwan said softly while tying a belt to Yeluchang, when she spoke, she kept her head down, and the blush on her face became more and more obvious.
"They're all looking for me"
A trace of solemnity that could not be concealed flashed on Yeluchang's face.
His identity is special, and now there is turmoil in the Jurchen clan, if he doesn't appear for a long time, I'm afraid the concubine won't be able to control the situation, and many people will turn to the Southern Courtyard
At that time, the chances of the Southern Court competing for the throne will be greatly increased, which will be extremely unfavorable to itself
We must go back as soon as possible to stabilize the situation
"You prepare a fast horse for me, I want to go back to Yancheng"
After thinking for a moment, Yeluchang said in a deep voice.
"Ahh
Zhao Ruwan's eyes flickered for a moment, pretending to be extremely nervous, and grabbed Yeluchan's arm as if unintentionally, and said worriedly,
"You are going back to Yancheng now, your current situation is not good, and if you are found by those assassins on the way back to Yancheng, I am afraid that there will be great danger."
"You"
Zhao Ruwan's words stopped at this point, her eyes became a little red, and her lips were pursed together.
After receiving such a long time of training in Qinghong Academy, this set has long become instinct
"You're worried about the king"
Yelu often looked at Zhao Ruwan like this, the cold color in her pupils weakened a lot, and then hesitated, and also tentatively grabbed the back of Zhao Ruwan's hand.
"Me"
The shyness on Zhao Ruwan's face was even more obvious, she lowered her head and couldn't speak, giving people an indescribable sense of gentleness.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine"
Yelu saw that she did not resist, but also guessed her thoughts, and laughed loudly,
"I, Yeluchang, have been fighting in the north and south for so many years, and there are countless people who want to kill me, but in the end they didn't succeed, but I cut off their heads, those assassins, no matter where they came from, I can deal with them."
"But"
Zhao Ruwan pursed her lips, still worried.
The atmosphere in the tent became a little quiet, Zhao Ruwan stared at Ye Luchang with solemn eyes, her eyes suddenly became firm, and then said seriously,
"I'll send you back to Yancheng"
"You"
Yelu Chang was slightly stunned, a little incredulous.
Zhao Ruwan continued,
"Although our tribe is not big, there are some warriors, and we have some business contacts with Yancheng, you can disguise yourself as a member of our tribe and go to Yancheng with our business team."
"In this case, it will be much safer"
"That's a good idea"
Ye Luchang also showed a smile on his face, and then grabbed Zhao Ruwan's wrist and said,
"You're smart"
"I'm just worried about the king and don't want the king to take any more risks"
Zhao Ruwan lowered her head, and the coquettishness of her face became even stronger.
"Don't worry, you saved the life of this king, after returning to Yancheng this time, this king will definitely not treat you badly, nor will he treat your tribe badly"
Ye Luchang showed a trace of emotion on his face, grabbed Zhao Ruwan's hand, and said seriously.
"I don't ask for anything"
Zhao Ruwan said this, but there was a thick smile on her face, and there was a hint of happiness.
"Haha"
Yelu Chang looked at Zhao Ruwan like this, and felt even happier in his heart, and couldn't help laughing, and then hugged Zhao Ruwan in his arms and said loudly,
"Don't worry, this king counts when he speaks"
Yelu often had the urgency to return to Yancheng, and in the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Ruwan gathered the people in the tribe together, although there were not many people in the tribe, but they barely gathered fifty or sixty people
They loaded two wagons of animal skins, as well as some mountain ginseng collected from Changbai Mountain, pretended to be a convoy for business, and left the tribe, and then slowly drove in the direction of Yancheng.
At the same moment, this news, along with a white dove, appeared in the hut not far away.
At this time, Su Shan crossed his knees and closed his eyes, broke through the barrier of the Innate Great Perfection Realm, heard the sound of the white dove, and slowly opened his eyes, and in the pupils of his eyes, there was a faint fierceness.
"Overseer, everything is going well, they are leaving for Yancheng"
Xiao Yu'er glanced at the news on the white pigeon, and a faint smile appeared on her charming face, and she whispered,
"Our people, we can do it"
"This Zhao Ruwan, sure enough, didn't disappoint our family, and solved Yeluchang so quickly"
Su Shan's feminine face also showed a hint of a smile, and then got up and walked down from the bed, he stretched out his hands, let Xiao Yu'er put on the black fur coat for himself, and then smiled,
"Send the message out, let the people of the Blood Sword Tower get ready, and intercept it halfway"
"Acting on plan"
"Also, send another group of people over to Zhao Ruwan's tribe, and solve the remaining old and weak women and children, so that Zhao Ruwan's identity can't be leaked in the slightest."
"The slave understands"
Xiao Yu'er also put on a purple coat, and then followed behind Su Shan, walking out of the house one after the other.
Soon after, on the mountain road, there was a violent sound of horses' hooves, and the two figures flew away with endless evil spirits, facing the cold wind and snow in the sky
A huge conspiracy against the Jurchens is about to unfold slowly
