Chapter 2: Bloodshed on the battlefield and escape from the Immortal Gate
Chapter 128 Retreat
The Wu army suffered heavy losses in this battle. Not only were a large amount of supplies used as bait burned, but the outflanking army also suffered a counter-ambush, losing tens of thousands of troops. Wu army corpses were everywhere within a ten-mile radius.
The contrast between the blood-stained ground and the surrounding white snow is even more shocking.
When the Wu Jun coach arrived, his vision went dark and he fell off his horse.
"Gather all the cavalry and chase after me!"
The coach of Wu Jun called Wu Qi. When he woke up, he almost shouted hysterically.
The Wu army assembled an extremely large force this time, with as many as 400,000 cavalry. The overall strength was by no means comparable to that of Jiang Jun. Wu Qi gave an order and the cavalry quickly gathered.
Soon the Wu army invested as many as 200,000 cavalry, and went straight to pursue Jiang Jun.
Of course, Wu Qi knew very well that at this time, the most important thing was to bite Jiang Jun. He knew very well that this Jiang Jun was alone. This was actually the hinterland of Wu Jun. As long as he was bitten and the army arrived, they
Death is certain.
Therefore, the Wu army did not wait for the Taoists to assemble before setting off together. Instead, they launched a pursuit in units of ten thousand troops, with two hundred thousand cavalry, and the battle line stretched for hundreds of miles.
Sure enough, you met Ji Wushuang halfway. Although you thought it was strange that she caught up with you from behind and looked very panicked, it was not a big deal. Besides, you were really drunk.
It was a bit big, so I didn’t say anything.
With Ji Wushuang, and she said she would send her sister back, you were indeed a little dizzy and wanted to sleep, so you said goodbye to them and returned by yourself.
The next day, while you were still sleeping, you were woken up and told that it was Ji Yuyan who came to see you. You were very surprised and thought something must be wrong, so you welcomed her in without even bothering to wash up.
Ji Yuyan looked very anxious, saying that her sister knocked out the groom last night, rode a fire dragon pony and left the general's mansion overnight, and she didn't know where she went.
You were startled and quickly went to the city gate to investigate. It turned out that she left the imperial city last night. Because she had a token from General Zhu Guo, saying that she had urgent military affairs, the city gate guards did not dare to stop them, so they opened the door.
The city gate let her out.
Ji Wushuang took the north gate, which was not in the east-west direction of the battlefield at all. It was obviously not a military matter. In fact, you and Ji Yuyan both knew that she should have gone to Wang Tiangang Villa, because it was about 200 miles away from the north gate.
It’s Tiangang Villa.
You don't know what's going on, and you want to find out, so you just decided to go to Tiangang Villa.
In the afternoon, you arrived at Tiangang Villa, and the sight in front of you was so overwhelming. There was no other villa here. What you saw was a ruins, completely burned by the fire, and there were still wisps of green smoke in some places.
cigarette.
Ji Yuyan was really anxious and called her sister loudly, but there was a dead silence and there was no sound. You all started searching everywhere together.
Ji Yuyan was a foundation-building monk, so it was not difficult to search. In addition, Tiangang Villa was not big, so it took less than an hour to search everything, and a total of 21 corpses were found.
Ji Yuyan stayed at Tiangang Villa for two years. There were not many people in the villa itself, so she knew the situation well. At that time, Ye Feng and Ji Wushuang came out of Tiangang Villa, and they happened to be 21 servants, including Hei Feng, who took care of Ye Feng's daily life.
Uncle is here too.
Not seeing the bodies of Ji Wushuang and Ye Feng made you feel relieved, but it also made you wonder where the two of them went.
The area here is vast and there are many mountains. It is impossible for you two to search it. However, there is a post station thirty miles away. You rush over and ask them to pass it to the court urgently.
Unfortunately, after two consecutive days of searching, even if Grandpa Huang personally came to participate in the search, nothing was found. The two people seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
A few days after this incident happened, General Zhu and the Crown Prince both returned to the court, and a few days later it was the missionary day that happens once every ten years. However, because of the incident at Tiangang Villa, most of the monks did not do this this year.
Some of the people who came were basically high-level monks, and they also participated in the investigation, but unfortunately they still had no clues.
At that time, Ji Yuyan was brought back to the Medical Valley again and was given a grounding order. It was already three years since he saw Ji Yuyan again.
After the incident at Tiangang Villa that year, Grandpa Huang was very angry, but he tried his best to get nothing. Not long after, he became disheartened and abdicated the throne to the prince. Donglai Kingdom also changed its name to Dayan, and the four
The first year of Dayan.
Four years later, you finally reached the ninth level of qi training and were ready to retreat to build the foundation. However, your father said that something went wrong with Yun Feiyang's training and that he was too violent. He asked you to accompany him for a year and practice with him every day to help him.
resolve.
You actually knew this, of course it was only when you were a child. After all, you basically practiced separately for many years afterwards.
A year later, Yun Feiyang's hostility was basically gone. Just when you were preparing to retreat and build a foundation, Donglai Academy sent an invitation, saying that there was a young people's Taoism conference.
It was an event for young people under the age of 25. It was held every five years. In the past, it was nothing more than teenagers in the Qi training period looking forward to the future, exchanging experiences with each other, and competing in traditional martial arts.
But this year is a little different, because there have been many outstanding talents. It can be said that there is a lot of talent. As a royal family, it is natural for someone to participate. You and Yun Feiyang are of the right age, so you accepted the invitation.
You were also on a whim at that time, thinking that you hadn't seen Ji Yuyan for a long time, so you used this conference to write a letter inviting her to attend.
There were indeed a lot of talents that day, and they were much more outstanding than previous ones. There were dozens of people who were above level eight during the Qi training period alone, and the most exciting thing for you was that Ji Yuyan actually came.
All the glory of that conference naturally belonged to Ji Yuyan, but there was also one girl who was very popular.
The girl's name is Bai Ling. She is the apple of the eye of the dean of Donglai Academy. She is one year younger than Ji Yanyu and is already at the ninth level of Qi training. This makes you look at her a few times, but that's all.
That's all, because she is really not on the same level as Ji Yuyan.
However, you noticed that Yun Feiyang was very interested in Bai Ling, and he stood in front of you intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was afraid that you and Bai Ling would get to know each other.
You can't help but feel a little funny in your heart. You already have someone you love, so how can you be interested in Bai Ling? Of course, if Yun Feiyang can get along with Bai Ling, you will be very happy.
Because you have always felt that Yun Feiyang's feelings for Ji Yuyan are a bit strange. At one time, you even doubted whether he also liked Ji Yuyan. You also asked him directly, but he said that he had regarded her as his sister since he was a child.
, he knows that you and her were once lovers, so you can rest assured.
