Chapter 747: Bright Moon, New Bone City, Night Crow's Old Bridge (Part 2)
The sky turned from dark to bright, then bright and dark again. The worn-out bicycle frame clanked on the road, causing unbearable bumps. The surrounding scenery also changed frequently. Dwarf woods, barren fields, and barren fields.
Tidal flats, broken bridges, deserted villages with dead bones... Wanyan Qingjue, with her hair disheveled, looked at everything that gradually appeared and then moved away with a wistful expression. Occasionally, when there was some movement, he would subconsciously and covertly cast his gaze.
Then the eyes became hollow again due to disappointment.
While the car was driving, the turmoil in his heart had not stopped, so his head was filled with chaotic emotions. Fear was the overwhelming majority, followed by doubts, and the further fear behind the doubts...
When he left the north, he brought under his command an elite team that was probably one of the best in the world. What he was thinking about was to achieve a series of achievements that would frighten the southerners. It would be best if they could kill Lin after being trained.
A strong man like Zongwu would eventually travel to the southwest and bring back the heads of his inner demons who may not be dead yet - these are all achievable goals.
This sudden impact was too heavy, and it suddenly shattered all possibilities. When he was immediately knocked down by the crowd last night and chose to surrender, the thoughts in his heart were still difficult to summarize. Black flag? Who knows if it is? If not,
Who are these people? If so, what does that mean...
In short, it is obvious that everything is gone.
He has a good background and is apprenticed to the God of Ceres. In the past, he was always high-spirited. Even when he went south, what was given to him was the best bargaining chip. Who knew that he would lose the first battle - not just a defeat, but the entire army
Destruction - even in the best scenario, this will have a huge impact on his future, but the most important thing is whether he still has a future.
The array surged in like black water, sucking Lu Tuo into it, and the scene of him being killed with a loud bang the next moment was always replayed in Wanyan Qingjue's heart - those who achieve great things need not be discouraged by mere setbacks, but
Everyone naturally has a self-awareness of the limits of their abilities. How do you compare to Mr. Lu? As soon as such a question flashes through his mind and he looks at the figures around the carriage, it is difficult for him to imagine certain possibilities.
Beside them, Qiu Tianhai and others also lowered their heads with empty eyes. It's not that no one resisted. Not long ago, there was someone who claimed to be the hero of the green forest and demanded respect and friendly treatment. Where did he go?
Oh, he was dragged down and his head was chopped off with a knife.
Simple killings cannot suppress green forest heroes like Qiu Tianhai and others. What can really silence them may be those figures that occasionally appear beside the carriage. I only know the one-armed towering sword Du Sha, so they naturally know him.
When she regained consciousness and cheered up, Wanyan Qingjue also asked Qiu Tianhai in a low voice about the possibility of escaping, but the other party just shook his head miserably: "Don't think about it, little prince... The leader is Ba Dao Liu Dabiao, and...
...Black Flag..." Qiu Tianhai's words were muffled due to his low tone, but Black Flag's name was also even more frightening.
Over the past few years, it has been a testament to its strength.
Lu Tuo died immediately. Wanyan Qingjue knew that just a few people or a dozen people who escaped, plus the "masters" responsible for contact, wanted to rescue him from this black flag team.
It is more unrealistic than trying to seize food from a tiger's mouth. But occasionally he would think that if he was captured, the defenders near Dengzhou and Xinye would definitely be dispatched. Would they, was it possible, that they happened to come here... So he occasionally thought
They just watched, and occasionally watched, until it was getting late. They had walked a long way and were about to enter the mountains. Wanyan Qingjue's body started to tremble. She didn't know what kind of fate and encounters were waiting in the future...
************
Cars rattled and horses rustled.
Under the gloomy sky, a strong wind blew up, rolling up the leaves and dead grass, scattering them into the sky. The crowds of people on their way passed through the wilderness and woods, and entered the rugged mountains one by one.
The carriage was about to be removed from its frame. Ning Yi stood on the big rock and looked into the distance with a telescope. Watermelon, who ran to fetch water, tore up the steamed buns and came over.
The small episode outside Xiangyang City was indeed unexpected, but it did not stop them from returning. Killing, arresting, and rescuing people in one night was not a big pressure for the team under Ning Yi. As early as a few days ago,
Months ago, they had had several conflicts with the Mongolian cavalry on the Ningxia grasslands. Although the tactics were different from those against the Green Forest people, to be honest, they were more familiar with the fighting against the Green Forest people.
After sending Yue Yun to Gao Chong and Yin Ping, Ning Yi also looked at Yue Fei's two children from a distance, then grabbed the prisoners and began to retreat - until soon after, there was a sudden movement of the army near Dengzhou, and the prisoners were also briefly interrogated.
Later, Ning Yi learned that something unexpected happened during the rabbit hunting this time, which made the scene a little embarrassing.
When the young prince disappeared, the army near Dengzhou almost went crazy, and the cavalry began to scatter in all directions. So the group's speed increased again to avoid having to fight with the army.
"We are already far away. After entering the mountain, Dengzhou's army and horses should not follow us again."
The front of the queue has contacted the two Zhuji members who are arranged to do exploration and guide here. As Xigua said, he handed the steamed bun with pickles to Ning Yi's mouth. Ning Yi stuttered and put down the telescope.
.
"Wanyan Sakai's son... is really troublesome." Ning Yi said, but couldn't help but smile.
"If you give in, we'll put him back."
"Fighting the Jurchens, that's what you say, right? I still want to live in peace for a few years, and now I've arrested the young prince. Wanyan Sagai has done a great job against the Jurchens. If he gets angry, he really sends troops.
Now, what should you do, right?"
"It's really not good." Xigua agreed.
"But you've already been arrested. If you give in now, people will think you're easy to bully, so they won't beat you right away."
"You shouldn't blink when you're facing a tiger." Eat the steamed buns and nod.
"The arrests have already been made. Look at the people next to you. They may have beaten others, and the bad impression has already been left." Ning Yi pointed to the people around him with a smile, and then waved his hand, "Otherwise,
Let's stab him to death and hang him on top of Xiangyang City at night. This will be Yue Fei's fault. Hehe... By the way, Fang Shuchang, I'm looking for you. Tell me, have you ever beaten the young prince?
Go apologize."
"What are you apologizing for?" Fang Shuchang walked over quickly from a distance. He was slightly stunned at this moment, and then smiled and said, "That little prince, who asked him to take the lead and rush towards us, of course I have to stop him.
, he dismounted and surrendered, I hit him on the neck to knock him out, but who knew he fell to the ground and hit his head, why should I apologize if he's not dead...right, I don't need to apologize if he's dead."
"He is a Jurchen young prince. If you beat him and refuse to apologize, then you can only do this. You take the knife from the car, the Yue Family Army's knife you picked up on the road, and stab the young prince to death. Then
Find someone to go to Xiangyang City in the middle of the night and let Yue Fei take the blame." Ning Yi clapped his hands and said with great interest: "Yes, Xigua and I both think this idea is good."
Fang Shuchang burst into laughter and looked at Xigua's expression over there: "That's too much. We also know General Yue. Isn't this bad?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong with saving his son and daughter and asking him to help take the blame?"
After all, the battle last night went smoothly. The tactics used to deal with the Green Forest Grandmaster were put to the practical test here, and Yue Fei's children were saved. Everyone was actually quite relaxed. Fang Shuchang naturally knew that Ning Yi was joking on purpose.
, coughed at this time: "I came here to tell you information. Originally, I said that I had captured Yue Fei's children, but both parties were relatively restrained and careful. In the blink of an eye, it turned out that the young prince was missing, and everyone in Dengzhou went crazy.
Tens of thousands of cavalrymen were divided into dozens of groups and they were looking for them. They collided with the Beiwei Army at noon. By this time, it was probably a big deal."
"...Now my brains are going to be knocked out." Ning Yi nodded and was silent for a moment, then breathed out, "Let's leave quickly and ignore them."
"good."
Fang Shuchang waved his hand, and someone brought the horse over. Ning Yi and Xigua got on the horse one after another, and the group set off and headed towards the mountains. Before completely entering the mountains, Ning Yi looked back and saw that the ridge was facing the gloomy sky.
It is swallowed up by the relatively open area below.
"This time, I did a big favor to General Yue."
Having lived in the mountains all year round and possessing strong martial arts skills, Xigua drove his war horse through the mountain roads as if they were walking on flat ground, and came over easily. Ning Yi nodded: "Yes, we can't escape a big victory.
After two consecutive battles within two months, he, Junwu and his gang would have a much better time in the Wu Dynasty court. We have captured the young prince, and we can also understand the situation of Wanyan Xiyin and others within the Jurchens.
I got more, and it was quite a harvest this time.”
"When the time comes, I will use this young prince to negotiate some terms and do some business with the Kingdom of Jin." Xigua clenched his fist.
Ning Yi laughed: "We'll see when the time comes, anyway..." he said, "...go home first."
Wanyan Qingjue's status among the Jurchens is too high. The Daqi regime in Dengzhou and Xinye cannot afford such losses. It is very likely that the searching army is still chasing after her. For Ning Yi, the next step is just to relax
It was the end of the journey home. The weather in late summer and early autumn was gloomy, and we didn't know when it would rain. After trekking in the mountains for an hour or two, the team of nearly two hundred people stopped and set up camp.
Among the two hundred people, there were the special teams who followed Ning Yi northward, as well as a group of Black Flag lurkers who first evacuated from Tian Hu's territory. Naturally, there were also the captured prisoners - Ning Yi had never been with Wanyan Qingjue and others.
Those who appear in front of people often communicate with those lurkers who have withdrawn. These people have been lurking inside the Tian Hu court for two or three years. Many of them have even become officials with high levels, and they instigated this incident.
The rebels have a lot of practice and leadership experience, and they can be regarded as elites even among the Bamboo Records. Ning Yi is naturally very concerned about their situation.
The retreat to the south went smoothly, and everyone was quite happy. The conversation covered everything from the situation in Tian Hu to the strength of the Jurchens and Nanwu, to the situation in Xiangyang this time. The chat lasted until midnight before they dispersed.
Ning Yi returned to the tent. Xigua did not go out for night patrol. At this time, she was mending a torn sock with her poor needle skills under the dim lights in the tent. Ning Yi frowned and wanted to go over to help. At this moment,
At that moment, an unexpected sound sounded in the night.
First there was some sound of fighting in the distance, and then a loud sound resounded through the forest.
"Mr. Ning! An old friend came from afar to ask for a visit. I hope I can take the time to meet him——"
This sound was made by internal force. After it fell, there were still echoes of "meet you in time" and "meet you" all around. Xigua frowned: "It's amazing...what old friend?" She looked at Ning Yi.
This was a completely unexpected sound. It shouldn't have happened. It couldn't happen here. Ning Yi was silent for a moment.
"...Yue Fei." He said the name and thought for a moment: "Nonsense!"
"He shouldn't know that you are tricking you," Xigua said.
Naturally, Ning Yi could understand. He looked gloomy and tapped his knees with his fingers. After a moment, he took a deep breath.
He slowly shook his head.
"never mind……"
*************
The night wind whimpered as it passed overhead, and there were vigilant warriors ahead. It was about to rain. Yue Fei held the gun in both hands and stood there, quietly waiting for the response from the other side.
Coming to this trip was a bit impulsive, and in the eyes of others, it would be an inappropriate decision.
However, to achieve great things, you don’t have to be like everyone else.
Just as Zhou Tong picked up his spear and wanted to assassinate Nianhan. At this moment, Yue Peng ran for hundreds of miles, closed his eyes, and waited for a certain possibility to appear.
If... Mr. Ning is still alive...
Except for the sound of the wind, the woods far and near are silent. (To be continued.)
