Yu Jinchen sat in Songlin City, listening to his subordinate's report, and then waved him back.
Turning his head to look at Ah Ke next to him, a careless smile appeared on his charming face, "A Ke, you seem to have something on your mind."
Ah Ke quickly restrained his wandering thoughts and said in a clear voice, "My subordinates are just thinking about their purpose of guarding outside the city."
"Have you met Ming Si Qi?"
Ah Ke was startled, silently lowered his eyes, walked to him and knelt down on one knee, "Master, please punish me."
Yu Jinchen's eyes turned cold, "Do you know what is the crime of collaborating with the enemy before the war?"
"This subordinate is willing to be punished."
Yu Jinchen seemed a little tired and stood up. He brushed the messy hair on his cheeks and glanced at her, "Bring his head to me. It's still yours. Choose one." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Ah Ke knelt there quietly, with a complex look on his face. She knew that there was absolutely no room for change in the order given by the master. She should also execute it without hesitation and kill him, but... why
Will her heart refuse?
When Yu Jinchen walked into the study room and saw the eagle standing on the window sill, he walked over and took off the bamboo tube tied to its claws, patted the eagle on the back, and it spread its wings with a "swish" and flew up.
high altitude.
He took out the note from the bamboo tube, which was just two lines of small words: Chen, are you following my plan? I leave Ake’s good marriage to you! - Leer
He smiled helplessly, even he was surprised that at this critical moment when the two armies were fighting, he would help her do such a childish thing, and actually draw a red line for the two parties who were supposed to be enemies!
"Second Prince,"
The guard outside the door came to report, "Haoyue's army was ambushed by General Sun, and about two thousand people were injured."
"Only two thousand?" Yu Jinchen frowned. It seemed that Ming Cangxiang was smarter than he thought. According to his assumptions, he should have lost at least nearly 20,000 troops.
"Let's explore again."
"yes."
Along the way, although the Haoyue Dynasty's army fell into the traps set by Yu Jinchen several times and lost many soldiers and horses, Ming Cangxiang was able to crack them one by one, which is really admirable.
Finally, the army came to the city.
Looking at the rain falling all night outside the tent, Ming Cangxiang's thick eyebrows frowned. He has been fighting in the south all year round, and this was the first time he sent troops to the north. Although he had known that the weather would be abnormal, he was sure that he would be able to do it within three days.
Into the territory of Xiaoyun Kingdom. But this rain came at the wrong time. During the march, there were either ambushes or traps. It was obviously an extra day for the two-day journey. The soldiers were already a little tired, and now they are also
We can only wait until this scene stops.
Through the hazy weather, I looked at Songlin City, which looked a little desolate, and stared at Songlin City opposite with my cruel eyes.
I heard that Yu Jinchen is there.
In Songlin City, Yu Jinchen was also standing on the corridor, looking at the rain that kept falling. He raised the corners of his mouth in an evil way and said to himself, "What should I do? I'm afraid it's going to rain for three or four days."
Well. Ming Cangxiang, remember to watch the stars more before sending troops next time."
The rain became heavier and heavier, and it had not stopped raining for three days. The water outside the city began to rise, and it had already flooded outside the camp where the Haoyue Army was stationed.
Ming Cangxiang's face became uglier day by day. Who knew when the rain would last? He knew very well that waiting any longer would only weaken the fighting spirit of the soldiers.
He once again aimed his gaze at Songlin City, which was on a higher ground, and sneered, "It's time to find a place to take shelter from the rain."
*********
The guard hurriedly came to report, "Second Prince, the Haoyue Dynasty's army is ready to attack the city. They have set up ladders, and..."
Yu Jinchen waved his hand without changing his expression, "Give me the order, and after a stick of incense, abandon the city."
"……yes."
In less than a stick of incense, Ming Cangxiang attacked Songlin, and the army poured into the city with high spirits.
After Ming Siqi was ordered to settle the soldiers, he just walked into the house when a flying knife flew into his face. He instinctively reached out to catch it. He took down the letter on it doubtfully, opened it and looked at it with his eyes.
As soon as he lit up, "A Ke!"
He collected the letter, turned around and walked out.
The rain was still falling, the mist outside was very heavy, and the visibility was very low. Ming Siqi did not alert anyone, but only ordered his personal adjutant to go around the city and see the people who had not stayed in the city. After that.
Then he mounted his horse and galloped away south.
The southern part of the city is sparsely populated. When the Haoyue Dynasty army approached the city, all the people in the city were moved away. It looked even more depressed. If you continue walking forward, you will see an inconspicuous ruined temple.
Ming Siqi got off his horse and walked in quickly.
He took off the bamboo hat on his head, wiped the rain from his face, and looked around.
"Aren't you afraid that this is a trap?"
Hearing this voice, he smiled suddenly and looked at Ah Ke standing behind him, "The woman I like will never do such a thing."
Seeing his wet appearance, Ah Ke lowered his eyes and pulled out his sword, "Today, I must take away something from you."
Ming Siqi's smile gradually dimmed, "What?"
"Your life."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sword light came immediately.
Ming Siqi smiled bitterly and shook his head. He did not retreat or fight back, but just stood there steadily.
Ah Ke frowned. When the tip of the sword touched the center of his eyebrows by one centimeter, he stopped it abruptly and asked in a cold voice, "Why don't you fight back? Do you think I'm joking?"
He smiled and said, "I don't want to attack you anymore."
Ah Ke gritted her teeth and raised the sword several times but was unable to stab it. Finally, she put it down dejectedly and turned around, "I owe you a favor, and this time, I will give it all back to you."
Ming Siqi was startled for a moment. He always felt that Ah Ke was a little strange today. He walked over and asked, "A Ke, what happened?"
Just when he was about to approach her, Ah Ke suddenly turned around and reached out to touch his acupuncture points. She froze in place for a moment, "You..."
"After a few hours, the acupuncture points will open on their own."
Ming Siqi raised his eyebrows, "Are you hugging me back?"
Ah Ke didn't give any explanation and just said, "I don't like to owe others. Now, we don't owe each other anything."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the ruined temple.
"A'Ke! Don't go!" Ming Siqi was really complaining, and quickly begged with a smile, "Is it okay that I was wrong? I was wrong last time, I shouldn't have tapped your acupuncture points."
Ah Ke took his horse and jumped on it.
Seeing that she was not scaring him, but really wanted to leave, Mingsi Qi became anxious, "A'ke, you can't leave! I have to go back to the military camp! A'ke!"
Ah Ke looked at him, turned the reins and left.
"Ake!"
Ming Siqi stood there helplessly, looking at Ake Juechen's figure, and lamented, "You must never offend a woman."
Ah Ke knelt in front of Yu Jinchen, lowering his head and saying nothing.
Yu Jinchen looked at her who remained silent, "Is this the explanation you gave me?"
"If a subordinate betrays his master, he deserves death."
Yu Jinchen no longer looked at her, but ordered to the side, "Detain her, and she will be executed in public in three days."
Ah Ke's expression remained unchanged, he took off the sword from his waist, kowtowed to him three times, turned around and strode away.
The palace masters from the three, four, five, eight and nine palaces on both sides were there, and they all wanted to plead for Ah Ke, but Yu Jinchen waved his hands lazily, "Stop talking and spread the news."
Although everyone could not guess the master's thoughts, they could still get a glimpse of it. It seemed that this time, the left servant might not be in danger of his life.
Three hours later, when Ming Siqi finally opened his acupuncture point and returned to the city, he was stunned by the sight in front of him.
Dead bodies, dead bodies on the ground.
Rows of corpses lay on the streets of the city. Their faces were blackened and they were foaming at the mouth. It looked like they had been poisoned.
He rushed into the coach's camp, "Fourth brother! What the hell is going on?!"
Ming Cangxiang looked deeply at the corpse that was still being carried away, with unspeakable frustration and anger on his tough and stern face as if carved with a knife.
"The water in the city is poisonous."
Ming Siqi stood there blankly, "How is that possible? Didn't you test the poison?"
Ming Cangxiang withdrew his gaze, "If they can abandon this city, they won't give us a chance to notice."
Ming Siqi took a deep breath, "We... how many people died?"
"fifty thousand."
Without wasting a single soldier, they could destroy their 50,000-strong army. All of this must have been designed by Yu Jinchen.
"Damn it!" Ming Siqi punched the wall with both fists, and his chest heaved violently. Suddenly, he thought of a question. A Ke saw him and controlled his acupuncture points, it must be to save him.
"Fourth brother, what should we do next?"
Ming Cangxiang lowered his cold eyes, "Let's burn the corpses of these soldiers first."
"……yes."
Songlin City was filled with the smell of death. Fifty thousand corpses were burned for a day and two nights. Looking from a distance, the flames were soaring into the sky, and the smell of coke was everywhere. Although these losses were not significant to the 400,000-strong army.
It wasn't fatal, and even a head-on fight was enough to wipe out the Xiaoyun Nation's entire army. However, morale reached an unprecedented low.
In recent days, Ming Cangxiang's temper has been very irritable and irritable. Victorious General Huo Yanluo has never suffered such a loss. He really did not expect that Yu Jinchen would use such low-level and despicable tricks. He hated him in his heart.
, and it increased several times. But the other prince looked a little worried,
Ming Siqi had just received the news that A Ke was about to be beheaded because of him. He couldn't sit still anymore and only left a letter to Ming Cangxiang, then left under the cover of night to save people.
After Yu Jinchen left, Lin Leer started counting the days on her fingers again. Apart from eating and sleeping, life was so boring that it seemed like only these two meaningful things were left.
She would listen to the reports from the Lord of the Sixth Palace on the war situation between the two armies every day. After the Haoyue Dynasty lost 50,000 people due to mass poisoning, another spy incident occurred. It was said that someone from Yu Jinchen had sneaked in to act as a spy. The most serious one was
The food and grass were burned, making Haoyue's soldiers panicked and exhausted.
Finally, the two armies faced each other. Ming Cangxiang personally led an army of 300,000 to formally confront Yu Jinchen's 150,000 troops at Wuyang Mountain.
It was originally a battle with no suspense in the outcome. Who would have expected that at the critical moment, nearly a thousand eagles suddenly appeared in the sky, as fast as lightning, easily able to dodge the bows and arrows, and fly towards the people flying towards Ming Cang.
Sneak down and either peck out their eyes or snatch off a piece of flesh.
It is strange to say that these eagles seem to know people and only attack the enemy. In fact, the reason is very simple. The soldiers of the Haoyue Dynasty have a bunch of red cherry blossoms on their helmets. That is these well-trained eagles.
The target of the flying eagle's attack.
Because of their joining, the situation has undergone a dramatic reversal. At the last critical moment, all the masters of the twelve houses are dispatched.
In the end, Ming Cangxiang was defeated. This was the first defeat in his life.
After receiving the news of Yu Jinchen's triumphant return, the entire Bieyuan Garden was filled with joy. Lin Leer was so happy that she couldn't sleep. She got up early and waited for him outside the Bieyuan Garden. However, only Ah Ke and others came back, and he was the only one missing.
figure.
"Ake, where is Chen?" Lin Leer asked anxiously.
"The master has been announced to the palace by the emperor and the prince."
"Oh," Lin Leer was inevitably a little disappointed, but then she thought about it. After winning such a big victory and saving the country for the emperor and the prince, they should thank him.
She and Ah Ke hadn't seen each other for some time, so she quickly took Ah Ke to the room and asked some questions carefully.
"Ake, I heard that Chen wants to kill you. What's going on?"
Ah Ke glanced at her, "Isn't it because of the letter I sent for the lady?"
Lin Leer deliberately pretended not to understand, opening her big innocent eyes, "It's just a letter to Xiao Qi, what else could be wrong?"
"Collaborating with the enemy before war is a capital crime."
"Ah? Then why didn't you tell Chen that I asked you to give it to me?"
Ah Ke lowered his eyes lightly, "I'm afraid that the master suspects that you contacted him to inform Ming Cangxiang."
Lin Leer was moved after hearing this, and stretched out her arms to hug her, "Ake, you are so kind to me."
Ah Ke couldn't stand her sensational behavior, so he poked her away with a finger in disgust, then stared at her and asked, "Tell me honestly, what did you write in the letter to him?"
Lin Leer knew he couldn't hide it from her, so he smiled and stuck out his tongue, "Hey, it's nothing, I just entrust you to him."
Ah Ke's brows twitched and he glanced at her, but remained silent.
When Lin Leer saw her like this, she suddenly understood. She poked her with her elbow, "Hey, I also heard that when you were about to be executed, he was the one who saved you regardless of his status as an enemy general.
"
Ah Ke turned away as if escaping, "I didn't let him go." Thinking of the scene at that time, Ah Ke's heart is still beating fast.
Later she learned that Yu Jinchen didn't actually want to kill her, but just wanted to lure Ming Siqi over. Now, everyone knew that the fifth prince of the Haoyue Dynasty had gone to seek relief for her, a woman from an enemy country, regardless of his identity and status.
The second prince of the Yun Kingdom. After all, she owed him again.
Lin Leer couldn't help but felt aggrieved for Ming Si Qi, "Hey, I risked my life to save you, how could you remain indifferent?"
"He is an idiot and has fallen into the trap of his master. Do you still want me to sympathize with him?" Although she said something disdainful, the emotion that was not easily revealed on her face did not escape Lin Leer's eyes.
