In the early morning, the mist lingers on the river, like a ghostly shadow, with teeth and claws.
The flames of war spread down the winding river surface, covering the entire Quewu Mountain and lingering.
At this time, it was already Chen Shi, but the fog was thick and the vision was not very clear. In a mountain field near the river, there was nothing strange from a distance. Only when you got closer did you see thousands of soldiers and horses dormant.
in.
This team is well-equipped and well-disciplined, but it is not difficult to find that they are a little tired, and many soldiers are injured.
On the edge of the army, on a high ground, stood a man, wearing jet black armor, covering his slender and straight body. His red lips were stained with bloodlust, and his ice blue pupils slowly scanned the surroundings.
His thin lips were pursed tightly, his exquisite face looked a little solemn, and his low and hoarse voice was gentle, "Is there any news about the queen?"
Leng Feng, who was behind him, shook his head and replied in a deep voice, "After the Lord went to sea, we lost contact. In the past few months, no news has been sent back. The ships we sent out to search for him also returned in vain.
"
Lord, where have you been?
Even if the person doesn't come back, at least he has to send a message, right?
There is no news at all. Could it be that he doesn’t plan to come back or has encountered some danger?
Beichen Yan took a deep breath, his eyebrows were cold and his eyes were cold, and he said nothing more.
"emperor."
Someone is coming from behind.
Bei Chenyan looked back.
The cold eyes made Ma Long tremble. He clasped his hands, not daring to talk nonsense, and said quickly, "Your Majesty, spies have come to report that an army of the Xilan Dynasty was found ten miles away to the northwest, and ten miles away to the southeast.
The Longxiang Dynasty's army is also approaching, and my subordinates estimate that they want to encircle them again."
Bei Chenyan looked back and glanced at the surrounding terrain again, "Gather the generals."
A few simple and clear words dropped the ice, and after saying that, he walked away.
Ma Long looked at Leng Feng with horror on his face: What's wrong?
The emperor seems to be in a bad mood...
Moreover, this emotion is definitely not caused by the current difficulties.
After so many years of marching abroad, there were many more difficult situations, and the emperor did not change his expression.
As an old man who has been with Bei Chenyan all year round, he can naturally feel Bei Chenyan's emotions.
Leng Feng shrugged, gave the past a very helpless look, and opened his mouth silently: What else can be done?
Ma Long understood immediately, but it was also a headache, but what could they do? As long as the empress did not come back for a day, they would not have a good day. The most important thing was that the emperor was worried that there would always be a problem in his heart, and he would not be able to get through it.
The emperor must be feeling uncomfortable, he knows it.
Not to mention the emperor, he really couldn't figure out why the queen had to leave. Even if you said it was time to leave, she still went with that person, oh yes, Nalan Xueyi and his party.
How can this not be misunderstood?
It’s hard not to think too much about it!
Leng Feng and Ma Long looked at each other and forced out the same wry smile.
In the center of the camp, the generals gathered in a circle, all of them looking solemn and solemn.
Wei Qi held a wooden stick and gestured on the sand while describing the serious situation at hand, "Now the army of the Xilan Dynasty has reached the mountainous area ten miles to the northwest. It only takes two days at most to search here.
Three days."xdw8
He waved his hand, pointed to the other side, and tapped the ground, "The army of the Longxiang Dynasty is coming from the southeast. The terrain is flat, so it may not take that long, so my subordinates estimate that it will take less than three days to defeat Southwest and Longxiang."
The two armies will form an encirclement."
Wei Qi pointed to the central position and said, "Your Majesty, we must find a way to leave this place as soon as possible, otherwise, we will become turtles in the urn."
"But with such a terrain, where can we evacuate?" Ma Long frowned, "The southwest is the Wujiang River, and it is the place with the most rapid water flow. It is impossible for boats and people to pass. The northeast is the snow-capped mountains, which are even more difficult to cross.
The natural moat."
Bei Chenyan looked at the sand under his feet and fell into deep thought.
"Xi Lan and Long Xiang must have realized something, so they accelerated their advance." Wei Qi looked at Bei Chenyan, his expression a bit anxious, "Your Majesty, with the current situation, I'm afraid we can't wait any longer."
"Do as I say, or else I'll fight them!" A general said.
"It's better to die in the worst case than to keep holding on here forever." The deputy general next to him also suggested, "Before the Xi Lan and Long Xiang armies reunite again, forcefully collide with one side and fight a bloody path!"
"It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate." Wei Qi waved his hand quickly, "At this time, we are the ones who will suffer in a head-to-head confrontation. Besides, we haven't reached the point of death yet. It's not worth taking such a desperate risk."
Ma Long asked, "Is there any news from Beiyi?"
Wujiang is at the junction of Xilan Dynasty and Tianlin Dynasty, close to Beiyi.
Compared with other big ones, the pass where troops are stationed is much closer, so the best way is to let the reinforcements from the Northern Yi come to help.
"We have been trapped here for half a month, and the news from Beiyi has been temporarily cut off." Wei Qi muttered, "But the eldest princess has received the news, and the young marquis is also in Beiyi. At that time, troops will be sent out. According to the normal time, no
If something unexpected happens, it will only last a few days."
Beichenyan pursed her thin lips into a straight line and listened to everyone's urgent discussion without making a sound.
"Based on time, the reinforcements from outside Quewu Pass should be arriving soon." Ma Long nodded and looked at Bei Chenyan, "If our reinforcements and Beiyi's army arrive faster than Long Xiang and Xi Lan's,
That was our comeback!"
Just like a big gamble, if there is a slight mistake, it will be doomed!
The wind on the road became stronger and stronger, causing the fog to fill the air.
"But if the reinforcements from Quewu Pass and the eldest princess and the others slow down a step, wouldn't we become turtles in a urn?" He Fei disagreed very much, and he even said bluntly, "Besides, Beiyi has just belonged to me, Tianlin, and the foundation has not yet been established.
Steady, if they turn against us and don't recognize us, they'll catch us off guard with a feint."
Some people agreed: "General He is right."
"This is a last-ditch battle. We may take such a risk again and put the winning bargaining chip on a Northern Yi with extremely unstable relations." He Fei originally disagreed, but at this time he had to say, "My subordinates know,
Beiyi was captured by the Queen herself, and everyone trusts her..."
He didn't realize that Bei Chenyan, who had been calm as a mountain next to him and showed no expression, had a face that was as cold as ice.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Ma Long clenched his fist to his lips and coughed violently.
"Of course, I also trust your Majesty..." He Fei, who was heartless, didn't realize Ma Long's crazy hint at all, and kept talking. It wasn't until Ma Long's voice was too loud that he looked away, his eyes filled with concern.
, "General Ma, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Do you need to see a military doctor?"
"Cough, cough, cough!" This time, Ma Long coughed even more fiercely.
