I am trapped, I don’t know whether I will live or die.
How could it be? That was Yan Er, who swept the world and later even surpassed his father in meritorious deeds.
How could he lose the battle? How could he fall into someone else's trap? How could he lose his whereabouts?
"Where's the battle report?" Xu Yin asked hoarsely.
"The prince's place."
After getting the answer, Xu Yin rushed out.
Yan Cheng was discussing something, and the guard guarding the door was pushed away by her: "Princess Princess."
Xu Yin ignored them and walked quickly to Yan Cheng: "Brother, Aling..."
Yan Cheng waved away the guards, sighed silently, and handed her a battle report.
Xu Yin finished reading quickly and his face became even paler.
Just a few days ago, Jiang Yue made a sneak attack on the grain road, and Yan Ling led people to chase him. But it was a trap. As soon as he entered the boundary of Feilong Mountain, Jiang Yi surrounded him and pushed down rocks to block the narrow road. The terrain of Feilong Mountain is steep.
, this is the only way to connect with the outside world. In this way, Yan Ling became the stuffing of dumplings. King Zhao sent spies several times but could not find his whereabouts.
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and you can't get the full picture just by looking at the battle reports, but one thing is for sure, Yan Ling is in a dangerous situation. He doesn't have many people with him and even less rations. Now he is trapped in the vast mountains, surrounded by Jiang Yi's ambush and large army.
Unable to support, there will be no return if one thing goes wrong.
"Brothers and sisters, this is the news from a few days ago. Xiaoer may have escaped from danger. With father here, you don't have to worry too much."
"Thank you, brother." Xu Yin handed back the battle report and floated out like a ghost. I don't know if he listened.
Yan Cheng couldn't help but worry, but he couldn't say too much, so he could only sigh and sit back.
Xu Yin returned to her father's place, sat down on a chair and stopped moving. Xu Huan and Ji Jing wanted to ask but didn't dare, so they exchanged glances, shook their heads and let her go.
After sitting blankly for a long time, Xu Yin suddenly thought of something and stood up suddenly: "No, we can't let mother know."
Seeing that she was about to walk out, Xu Huan stopped her: "Do you want to tell the Crown Prince? The Crown Prince has just sent someone here."
Xu Yin said "Oh" and sat back.
It was only then that her mind slowly recovered.
Xu Huan shook his head and said, "I don't think you should go back to Prince Zhao's Mansion tonight. Go home with your father."
Xu Yin knew that he was not in good condition, and Princess Zhao would definitely notice it when he returned, so he responded: "Okay."
When they arrived at the Yamen, the father and daughter collected their things in silence and took the car back to the Duke of Chu's Mansion.
She usually comes back to stay from time to time, and no one in the house feels anything is wrong.
After the meal, Xu Huan asked her to sit in the warm pavilion, warming herself by the fire and talking.
"Don't worry too much. Aring is such a talented general. It's just that he is missing. Maybe he is hiding and waiting for an opportunity."
Xu Yin nodded.
"Besides, King Zhao is still there. How can he not be devoted to his son? He will definitely try his best to rescue him."
Xu Yin continued to nod.
Seeing her reaction, Xu Huan had no choice but to say: "Besides, I remember you said what happened in the dream. Isn't he safe?"
Xu Yin finally reacted. She raised her head and said, "Father, you told me before not to get caught up in things in dreams. Some things have gone through differently, and of course the final result will be different."
"..." Xu Huan regretted that he was talking about Concubine Liu, but now she was using it.
"But this shows that Aling is so capable, right? Didn't Jiang Yi lose to him in your dream?"
"But at that time, he was already twenty-six or seven years old!"
Xu Huan was speechless. Yan Ling was only twenty now. Six or seven years was too long for war, enough to train a young man into a veteran.
"Father, I made a mistake." Xu Yin said softly, "When he went out to fight, I was always reassured, thinking that I had seen the future and nothing would happen. But this perception itself is wrong.
This world is completely different from my dream, so how could the result be the same?"
In fact, Xu Huan had thought about this before, but because she was so confident, he didn't pour cold water on it. Now that she realized it on her own, she felt a little distressed.
"As a father, I still say the same thing. Arling is an unparalleled general and will not be defeated so easily. There is no definite news yet, so we have to believe in him."
Yes, he has been through a lot of dangers. Now he is just missing, which is not too bad news. Wasn't he surrounded less often before? When he attacked Yuzhou, he often used less to defeat more, so he broke through again and again.
.
Xu Yin reluctantly persuaded himself and went to bed.
This sleep was destined to be restless. In the dream, Yan Ling was sometimes fighting alone, and sometimes he was covered in blood.
I don’t know how many times I woke up, but Xu Yin finally gave up.
She lit a lamp and sat in front of the window, looking through her things.
Her boudoir was still preserved in the Duke's Mansion, and the furnishings were almost the same as before she got married. All kinds of bits and pieces had the shadow of Yan Ling.
The hairpin in the box, the mojole on the shelf, the sweeping lady hanging in front of the window... and the dagger she carries with her.
She pulled out the dagger inlaid with gems, its blade gleaming with cold light. It had followed her for six years in her previous life, and finally accompanied her in revenge. She didn't know who its owner was until this life.
Sometimes she felt it was amazing that there was someone who had cared about her for so long without her knowing it.
Yan Ling's feelings have always been sincere and passionate. In his previous life, he was trapped in hatred and did not bother her. He just paid attention to her silently until he finally sent her away. In this life, Yan Ling pursued her openly as soon as he fell in love with her and tried every means to treat her.
She is good, give her your heart.
In comparison, she was not so enthusiastic. Perhaps because of the heavy memories of her previous life, she was always more passive towards him. She agreed to marry him but was moved by his perseverance.
So, is her love less?
Xu Yin held his chest, his heart pounding inside. On this night when he disappeared, the emotions that had been sealed by reason burst out.
Of course she loves such a bright and sincere young man, and his appearance dispels her hidden haze. Sometimes she finds it unbelievable. If it weren't for Yan Ling, it might be difficult for her to give up this heart in this life.
It was he who let her know that she was a treasure in this life, and so was she in her previous life.
Because of his presence, she knew that the bleak life in her previous life was still shining brightly.
Xu Yin made up his mind and stood up suddenly.
"Xiao Man, Xiao Sang!" Her voice was full of tenacity, "Get up, let's pack our luggage!"
…
Xu Huan got up earlier than usual today. He didn't sleep well last night and wanted to see how his daughter was doing.
But before he asked, the steward said: "My lord, the third lady has left! I packed my luggage before dawn and said I was going to find the second Young Master Yan!"
