There were still two days away from Ningzhou. Yun Buhui, Bingyue, and Li Yue stopped in a small town for the night. During dinner, a caravan that had escaped from Ningzhou stayed. Yun Buhui asked them about Ningzhou.
How was the war going? The man told him that King Zhao and Cheng Mubai fought four battles in Ningzhou, all of which were commanded by King Zhao himself. King Zhao won three times and lost one. Cheng Mubai won that time because of his good luck. King Zhao attacked with fire, and
The weather changed, giving him time to redeploy.
Yun Buhui knew that if Cheng Mubai and King Zhao met on the battlefield, it would definitely end in life and death. King Zhao was now angry, helpless, and confused. He needed a channel to vent, and the battlefield was his best outlet.
Xiaobai, don't let anything happen to you. Don't let anything happen to you.
"Miss, don't worry, the prince will be fine," Bingyue said.
Yun Buhui said, "In a forest of swords and arrows, the sword has no eyes. Who can guarantee that everything will be fine?"
No one can guarantee anything unless she sees Cheng Mubai well with her own eyes.
The war situation in Ningzhou was tense, and most of the wealthy households in this area moved their families. Yun Buhui felt heavy in his heart when he saw the desolation along the way.
There was a robbery by robbers in the small town at night. Yun Buhui was awakened by the sound of crying. Bingyue and Li Yue appeared in her room after getting dressed. Yun Buhui dressed up and Li Yue walked to the window and looked down.
, a group of robbers entered the inn opposite, killed, burned, and robbed, causing commotion throughout the town. People hid in their homes and did not dare to come out. Nowadays, wars and robbers are rampant, and such things happen everywhere.
"Miss, this town is not safe either. Let's leave as soon as daybreak." Li Yue said.
"Oh my God, they won't continue to rob." Bingyue exclaimed. The bandits came out from the inn opposite, snatched their trophies and put them in the car. They set the inn on fire. Yun Buhui saw a woman on the second floor.
He broke out of the window and fell on the street, with blood all over his body. Yun Buhui closed his eyes subconsciously. Li Yue and Bing Yue were worried, fearing that they would rob the inn.
The doors and windows of the inn had been closed for a long time, and the guests were all awake, but no one dared to make a sound for fear of attracting robbers. Yun Buhui said, "Today I saw two caravans staying opposite. I don't think these robbers will."
If we rob this house again, we might end up doing it tomorrow night."
Yun Buhui was right. After they burned down the inn, they left quickly with the loot. People in the town hurriedly came out to put out the fire. After a busy night, everyone seemed to have a fire in their hearts.
"Miss, are you really going to the battlefield? It's probably even scarier."
"I am the daughter of a general. If I don't even have the courage to do so, wouldn't it be an embarrassment to my father?" Yun Buhui said calmly. He lay down tiredly and went to sleep. This time he did not dare to change his clothes and sleep, lest something unexpected happen again and he would not be able to escape in time.
The second half of the night passed very peacefully. Yun Buhui was tossing and turning, feeling a little sleepy. It was already dawn.
They hurried on after breakfast. Everyone in the inn discussed the robbery last night. Yun Bugui did not participate in the discussion. Robbery and robbery were so normal these days. Several people abandoned their carriages and bought three horses to set out on their way.
We arrived in Ningzhou at noon. There are many cities in Ningzhou, and the smell of gunpowder smoke here is very strong. From the beginning of Ningzhou, we can feel the warriors on the battlefield, charging into battle.
As soon as Yun Buhui arrived in Ningzhou, he heard the news of King Zhao's victory. It was rumored that it was the biggest battle since the Ningzhou War. King Zhao was slightly injured, and the opponent's coach was seriously injured and his whereabouts are unknown.
Yun Buhui choked on his breath and felt a dull pain in his chest. Isn't the coach of Beijun Cheng Mubai? His whereabouts are unknown? That means he was seriously injured, otherwise how could he be missing?
"Miss, we don't have a clear idea of what's going on right now, so don't worry. Misinformation sometimes happens on the battlefield." Bingyue said, and Yun Buhui asked, "Am I anxious?"
Bingyue didn't know how to answer her for a moment.
Yun Buhui was restless for the next time. She didn't come back to her senses until she was in the fifth city of Ningzhou. Now the city gate has been closed and no one is allowed to leave the city. When she arrived in Ningzhou, she found an inn to stay.
Yue went to inquire about the news.
The city gate has been completely closed, how can she get out of the city?
Bingyue said, "Miss, why don't we go find the prince and ask him to let us out of the city."
"Confused!" Yun Buhui said, "When is this the right time to go to the prince? Besides, he can't open the city gate. If he knew I was here, he might not know what he was thinking."
She is the wife of the commander of Nanjun, but she appears in the enemy camp. How will the generals and soldiers of Nanjun feel?
The life of the people in the city is still orderly, and there is no chaos at all. Everyone's face has the smell of war, but everyone is living actively. This is an indestructible city. They seem to trust their prince and believe that he can
Defend this city.
Li Yue came back soon. He talked about the recent battle. Cheng Mubai attacked the city. Although he was defeated, there were not many casualties. However, the Zhao army suffered heavy casualties. Cheng Mubai was seriously injured and King Zhao was slightly injured. There was a truce for three days.
Yun Buhui's heart twitched. Was he seriously injured? How serious was it? She anxiously walked around the room, distressed, wishing she could put on her wings and fly out of the city gate. Bingyue asked, "Can I leave the city?"
?"
"In order to prevent spies from sneaking into the city, the prince has long ordered the city gates to be closed." Li Yue said.
"Then how do we get out of the city?" Bingyue felt uneasy. If she had known better, she would have taken a detour to Beijun and then come back. Although it would take an extra seven or eight days, it would still be better than being trapped in the city. Yun Buhui was absent-minded and worried, and suddenly raised his head, "
I think my father once said that Ningzhou is the most rampant place for bandits. Later, the Thirteen Cities of Ningzhou were built as a military fortress. In the past, this was a bandit den, so there must be a bandit road, and it is impossible to have only a city gate to get out of the city."
"What do you mean, miss?"
"Go and ask the local elders and tell them that we need to leave the city in an emergency. The locals in Ningzhou must know how to get out of the city. There won't be only one way." Yun Buhui said, and Li Yue nodded and went out to inquire.
"Miss, how could there be other roads? After the city is built, there is usually only one road, and the other roads are blocked." Bingyue said, "There are no other roads out of Fengcheng."
"Fengcheng is different from Ningzhou." Yun Buhui said lightly.
As Yun Buhui expected, Li Yue found out about a way out of the city behind the city gate, which was a bandit road. Before Ningzhou was built, this road was a road that bandits often used to attack villages. Later, Ningzhou was built.
In the Thirteenth City of Prefecture, this road was still a sneak attack route for bandits. Later, the general sent troops to exterminate the bandits, and the road was sealed. But there is a big mountain behind this road, and over the mountain is a town. Ningzhou is also
There were frequent wars and the city gates were often closed, so the residents in the city remembered this road and used this bandit road when leaving the city.
The common people and the soldiers guarding the city had different ideas, and there was no problem in passing a small group of people on this road, but it was a problem in passing a large group of people, so no one paid attention to it, and the locals would not tell the generals guarding the city without any reason.
There is a road out of the city. As long as there is no war, they all take the city gate. Except for the locals, few people know this road.
The reason why Yun Buhui remembered the bandit road was because he heard his father mention it when he was a child. He had walked this road and was worried about the many bandit roads in the city, because the enemy troops could easily sneak into the city. A large group of people could not get through, so a sneak attack was not a problem.
Li Yue inquired about the route, and they rested one night at the inn. They went out early the next morning and walked towards the back mountain. From the back mountain, there was a river under the city wall. The river was not deep. There was a stone bridge in the river. They all walked on the stone bridge.
After crossing the river, we had to climb over mountains and ridges. The mountain road here was very steep and very long. It seemed that no one had walked on it for a long time. The mountain road was full of thorns, so the three of us walked very hard.
"Sure enough, it's a bandit road. If people know this road, they can't attack in a big way. They just enter a small team." Bingyue muttered. Yun Buhui smiled. The mountain is very high. Bingyue said, "I regret it. If I ride a horse
That’s good, this is clearly a horse trail.”
"Stop complaining. We've been walking all morning and haven't reached the halfway point of the mountain. You don't want to go until dark," Yun Buhui said with a smile.
At noon, they ate some dry food and continued on their way. Yun Buhui accidentally scratched his arm. Bingyue felt distressed and quickly bandaged it up for her. Yun Buhui was afraid of pain the most, so he made a big cut and his eyebrows were twisted.
After finally reaching the top of the mountain, standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the continuous city of Ningzhou, and you can also see the enemy's military camp. Yun Buhui had a smile on her face because she saw the military camp of Nanjun.
It's not far from the foot of the mountain. The distance is very far, but because standing on the top of the mountain, it seems that it is at the foot of the mountain. This feeling of being so close makes Yun Buhui very happy. She will be able to see Cheng Mubai soon.
Bingyue pointed to the military camp excitedly. Yun Buhui nodded with a smile and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She said softly, "No wonder no one is blocking this mountain road. No one can block such a horse road."
.”
Maybe King Zhao didn't know that there was this road. Maybe he knew that Yun Buhui couldn't touch it. Even if he knew, he probably wouldn't be worried. This road can only pass a hundred people, and from the military camp to Ningzhou Fortress.
It was a long journey, the mountain road was rugged, and not many people could pass it. A sneak attack by a hundred people would be a recipe for death, so King Zhao was very relieved.
"Miss, let's go quickly." Bingyue said, while Liyue was looking for a way ahead. Going down the mountain was a big forest road, which was equally rugged and difficult to walk. They would have to spend the night in the mountain, and they would definitely not be able to go down the mountain before dark.
of.
In the evening, Bingyue heard several wolf howls, which made her skin crawl. Yun Buhui was also a little scared. There were many wild wolves in the mountains. Li Yue said, "Miss, let's find a place to spend the night and walk around in the dark.
