Early the next morning, Xuanyuanyi and his party, Shang Jun, Shang Xiao, Murong Shuqing, and Qin Xiuzhi were sitting in the flower hall. Xuanyuanyi, who had been silent last night, got up and said straight to the point: "Shangzhuang master, I don't want to waste any more. Everyone's time, breaking the formation is very important to our army's battle, I implore you to help. If the village owner feels that it has nothing to do with him, then Xuanyuan Yi will no longer be difficult for others."
While blowing the tea in his hand, Shang Jun asked with a smile: "Tell me what you think, I will help you break through the battle, and you will be sure to win?"
Is he interested? Pei Che quietly glanced at Murong Shuqing, who was leisurely eating pastries. What they said seemed to have nothing to do with her. Last night, Shang Jun's attitude was very tough, why did it change so early in the morning
Xuanyuan Yi said loudly: "I already have a new offensive strategy. You command the front to break the formation. Our army is divided into two groups, walking all the way to Qushan, bypassing its formation range, and attacking directly from the rear. Focus on the formation, our army's rear surprise attack will definitely be unexpected, if you succeed in breaking through the formation, you will surely win by attacking from the front and back. , burn his grain and grass, and treat his body with his own way."
Murong Shuqing was right, Xuanyuan Yi did have a good plan, but... Lord Shang put down the tea in his hand, changed his sloppy attitude, and analyzed seriously: "Three-way attack is indeed a good method, but first, you know the enemy The correct location of military grain storage? Second, this strategic method requires a lot of time. Can you guarantee that the cooperation will be just right? Third, I have met You Xiao, and based on my understanding of him, he will never You may think you can rest easy with just one formation. So, is your three-way attack feasible? You are afraid that you will fall into someone else’s trap at that time.”
His opinion made Li Ming put away his disapproving expression, and it even made Xuanyuan Yi's eyes brighten, and he also became interested. He took out the topographic map he carried with him from his arms, spread it out in front of Shang Jun, and said, "Our army has identified the location of the granary. As for the attack time, it will start when you break the formation. You enter the formation and send out a signal. The other two started to attack. As for You Xiao, after two months of fighting, I already know his cunning, but he also has a weakness, that is, he is too arrogant. He has pulled the battle to a great extent, and he is confident that no one can break him. Therefore, after the battle, there is another hidden ditch agency, and there is no other defense, so the three-way attack is still feasible."
Shang Jun looked at the topographic map carefully, and the route details were clearly marked on it. He also admired Xuanyuan Yi at the moment, and immediately smiled: "Okay, I promise."
"Really?!" Li Ming exclaimed, agreed so easily
Pei Che was also shocked by Shang Jun's change. When he looked at Murong Shuqing again, he still had a leisurely attitude of staying out of the matter. Wasn't it really because of her
Shang Jun smiled and said, "Am I joking? Let's go. Solve this matter as soon as possible." She couldn't wait.
Qin Xiuzhi, who had been sitting next to him, suddenly stood up, clasped his fists and asked, "I wonder if Qin can go with him?" He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he just wanted to stay by his side. He should like Murong Shuqing. Otherwise, it is normal to like a lively business smile, but he found that the one who thinks the most in his mind is Shang Jun. He should run away, stay far away from him, but why do you want to follow along all the way
Before Shang Jun had time to speak, Shang Xiao, who was beside him, jumped up and said, "I'm going too."
Shang Jun shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "Xiaoer, this is not to play."
"Brother, let me go." She knew that this battle with Cang Yue was related to avenging her parents, so she must go.
Shang Jun wanted to say something, but was stunned by Shang Xiao's firm gaze, and finally nodded gently.
Pei Che felt that the atmosphere was a little sluggish, and said with a smile, "Okay, since everyone wants to contribute, let's go together."
Unexpectedly, a good intention was exchanged for Shang Xiao's scornful sneer, "It's not helping you, it's a lot of work." Now the atmosphere is lively, and there is a burst of laughter in the flower hall, but Pei Che can't laugh or cry, who is he recruiting Who did you offend
A group of people just sneered, but Murong Shuqing saw a very interesting scene, Xiu Zhi's clear eyes never left you, maybe spring is coming soon.
"No way!" In the main tent, several people around the military topographic map agreed, but the three people who were sitting idle and drinking tea shouted at the same time.
Just because Shang Jun proposed to enter the formation alone to check.
The first to attack was Shang Xiao, "Brother, you didn't come here for your life!" What kind of formation, just listening to them just now was terrifying, it was both snow and wolf, why didn't they go in and check it out by themselves? !
Qin Xiuzhi also frowned and asked, "Is there any other way?"
Murong Shuqing also disagreed, "Jun, this is too dangerous."
Shang Jun's heart is very warm and moved by their love for her, but their reaction is so big, it still makes her a little funny, "You are too nervous, you want to break through the battle, don't enter the battle to check, how to deploy?" They thought she had already To be able to rely on imagination
Having said that, but her sister is her only relative, Shang Xiao still said relentlessly: "You can command, why do you want you to go? Can't they go?!" After that, he stared fiercely. One look at these so-called generals, a group of big men, but also let her take risks alone.
Shang Jun sighed and said solemnly: "Xiaoer, I don't understand the formation, what can I say? Go back to the villa if you are self-willed." She knew that Xiaoer was for her good, but there was no way out.
Shang Xiao pursed his lips in grievance and looked at Murong Shuqing pitifully, she would definitely listen to Sister Shuqing's advice.
Feeling Shang Xiao's eyes asking for help, Murong Shuqing was also very contradictory. She didn't understand these formations, and she was also worried about Shang Jun, but what Shang Jun said was the truth. Murong Shuqing thought for a while and asked, "Then according to what you see now, what kind of formation is this?" If there are traces to follow, is there no need to enter
Shang Jun pointed to the topographic map and said: "According to the outside, the formations are made of mountains, rocks and trees, mostly five-element formations, which generally make people lose their way, and then it is convenient for the enemy to scatter and kill the enemy. However, according to the generals, after entering There was no sound, no sound of fighting, but in the end, it was taken out by the snow wolf, there may still be a battle in the formation, so I have to go in and check it myself before I can think of a way to break the formation." In fact, she was helpless to enter in person. One of the people who entered the formation for the second time survived, and they could briefly describe the situation inside, or if they knew the name of the formation that You Xiao set up, she could study the method of breaking the formation, but now she has no idea about the formation , what would she say if she didn't go in
Murong Shuqing wanted to say something else, but Shang Jun shook his head gently, making her swallow what she had to say. She should believe her. Since it was her decision, she had no choice but to support it.
Shang Xiao knew that Shang Jun had made up her mind, and she was in meditation this time, so she pleadingly said with tears in her eyes: "Then you don't need to go alone, there are so many people, let them accompany you, okay?"
Xuanyuan Yi is also well aware of the danger of this battle, no matter what the reason is, Shang Jun is willing to help, and he doesn't want to see him hurt, "Shang Zhuangzhu, let a team of people accompany you, it will help you to check The battle is to protect your safety."
At this time, Lei Yi took a step forward, clasped his fists and said loudly, "I am willing to go." Since entering the Misty Villa, he has not had the opportunity to thank the villa owner along the way. Even if he said it, the villa owner may not remember it. This time he entered the battle, and he also knew the worst, but he still hoped to follow the Shangjun and protect him with all his heart, which was also considered a life-saving grace.
Shang Jun shook his head with a smile, and said, "Thank you for the good intentions of the general, but the formation is unusual. I just went to check the formation. It is less dangerous to enter alone." She entered, hoping to touch the organs inside as little as possible, and With her martial arts skills and understanding of the Five Elements Formation, it shouldn't be difficult to come out. If you add this team of people, it will be difficult to say.
Giving Shang Xiao a hearty smile, Shang Jun slightly bowed his hands to everyone and said with a smile, "Don't worry, everyone, I will go back when I go." After speaking, he left the tent neatly.
Everyone also followed Shang Jun to the tent. In the afternoon after the snow melted, the air was not only cold but also mixed with a faint fragrance of plum. Shang Jun came to her treading snow, stroked the horse's head lightly, and suddenly said to Murong Shuqing, who was standing at the end, "Qing, I have something to tell you."
Murong Shuqing was puzzled, but he still quickly walked up to Shang Jun. I saw Shang Jun lowered his head slightly and whispered a few words in Murong Shuqing's ear. After speaking, she was about to get on the horse's back, but Murong Shuqing opened his eyes and grabbed Shang Jun's arm, but refused to let go. Shang Jun shook his head helplessly, and sighed in her ear: "I mean if, believe me."
After a long time, Murong Shuqing slowly let go of his hand, Shang Jun turned over, got on the horse, and ran like an arrow from a string on the snow. Murong Shuqing stared blankly at the back of Shang Jun leaving. She didn't know if she would let her go and regret it forever, because what Shang Jun said in her ear was, "If I can't come back, help me. I take care of Xiaoer."
A pair of strong arms took her into his arms. He didn't know what Shang Jun said to her, which made her feel lost. He didn't like her staring at another man's back like this, but he was more worried about her. Bewildered look. Gently patted Murong Shuqing's back, Xuanyuan Yi asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"I'm fine." Taking a deep breath, he gently broke free from Xuanyuan Yi's embraced arms, and Murong Shuqing walked towards the tall white plum tree.
Xuanyuan Yi looked at the figure of Murong Shuqing who was flying away. When would she be willing to rely on him, tell him what she was thinking, and let him protect her
Murong Shuqing leaned against the tall plum tree, and the petals of plum kept falling in pieces, like a rain of petals following the cold wind. Murong Shuqing stretched out his hand to take a white plum that slowly slipped into his palm, and kept praying in his heart: Lord Shang, Lord Shang, you must not be in trouble!
Holding the white plum in his hand, Murong Shuqing closed his eyes quietly.
"Master." Fan Feng stood silently behind Murong Shuqing. Murong Shuqing leaned on the tree trunk and did not reply, Fan Feng continued, "Yanyu is back, there is news about the person you are looking for."
Murong Shuqing opened her eyes and asked uncertainly, "Really?" She heard right, did he say that Mo Can has news? Before he could answer, Murong Shuqing trotted towards her tent.
Entering the tent, Murong Shuqing was panting and asked anxiously, "Yanyu, did you find Mo Can?" Her heart was beating wildly, and she didn't know whether it was because she ran all the way, or because she was about to Hear the news of Mo Can.
Yan Yu met Murong Shuqing's waiting gaze and replied affirmatively, "Not yet, but there is news. In Yun Town, thirty miles away from Fengshan, someone has seen Mo Can."
Although a little disappointed, there was finally news of Mo Can, Murong Shuqing said anxiously, "Are you sure it's him?"
"It should be, the body shape and appearance have been checked one by one." In order to confirm that it was Mo Can, he also took Mo Can's portrait and asked almost all over the town. Eight people were sure that the man they saw at that time was the portrait. A middle-aged man can be confirmed by comparing his temperament and behavior.
"He really isn't dead." Although she had always believed in her heart that Mo Can was not dead, the lack of news for the past month still made her heart hang. Taking a long sigh of relief, he said, "Keep looking, you must find it."
"Yes."
When Yan Yu turned to leave, Murong Shuqing suddenly stopped him and asked, "Wait a minute, how is Yan Rui's situation now?" Dongyu is currently preparing to fight back in an all-round way. She needs to know what is the alliance between Hongming and Cang Yue. time to break.
"Feng Yi has quietly transported the high-quality seeds that he bought one after another back to EAST, and the purchase is still in progress. With his intentional drive-up and negotiation, most of Yan Rui's landlords believe that cotton and hemp planting is very profitable, except for the regulations of the imperial court. Except for several places in China, most of them are ready to change to cotton and linen. An Qinxuan purchases a large amount of rare medicinal materials from Yanrui and resells them to nearby small countries. At present, the price of Yanrui medicinal materials is continuing to rise. Shen Xiaoyun will spread the news you want to spread at a high price. It was sold to several princes of Yan Rui."
Murong Shuqing nodded and replied, "I see, you can go."
"Yes."
Murong Shuqing shook his head with a chuckle and walked out of the camp. The two of them really never forgot how to make money. In modern times, they would be excellent capitalists, so it was easy to cooperate with them, and it was profitable.
Night has come, and the moonlight shines through the plum trees, casting a mottled fragmentary shadow. After the sun disappears, all that is left is the bitter north wind, the melted snow, and the residual fragrance that seems to exist. Murong Shuqing sat on a bluestone under the plum tree. It had been three hours since the Shangjun left. It seemed that only under this cold wind and arrogance did he feel calmer.
Next to the boulder not far away, Qin Xiuzhi also leaned against the stone wall and looked up at the stars in the sky.
Murong Shuqing got up, walked slowly to Shang Xiao's side, hugged her shoulders, and said encouragingly, "Xiaoxiao, don't worry too much, it's alright." This is comforting her and herself.
Three hours later, the tears of Shang Xiao, the moment Murong Shuqing hugged her lightly, could no longer be controlled, she buried her face in Murong Shuqing's shoulders, sobbed and whispered: "Sister Shuqing, I'm so scared." She is only a relative of her sister, and if she loses her, she doesn't know if she still has the courage to live.
Shang's laughter and crying were like a heavy hammer, hitting Murong Shuqing's heart. She didn't know what to say to comfort Shang Xiao, and she seemed so powerless. Murong Shuqing could only hug her tightly, feeling her trembling shoulders, followed by her own heart.
"Look, it's the owner of the merchant village!" Suddenly, Lei Yi, who was standing at the camp gate, cheered, and everyone outside the tent looked up and saw a horse galloping, accompanied by the rising smoke, and soon, one person A horse returned to the camp. Shang Jun rolled over and dismounted, still smiling, but the tired look on his face could not be concealed.
Shang Xiao ran to Shang Jun, took her hand, looked up and down, and hurriedly asked, "Brother, are you all right!" Shang Jun just patted her hand and nodded lightly.
Seeing the return of Shang Jun, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Pei Che smiled and asked, "Shang Zhuangzhu, how is it?"
Shang Jun didn't answer right away, but just cupped his hands and replied: "I have already roughly understood, and I have to read more about how to break it. Please come back, and discuss with the generals in the tent of General Xuanyuan tomorrow morning."
The generals looked at each other in dismay, waiting for so long, just wanting to hear his opinion, what's going on? Although Pei Che was also a little disappointed, but in the past three hours, Shang Jun did not know how many dangers he experienced. Seeing that he was full of tiredness, he was not good at being strong, so he nodded and replied: "Okay, the business owner has also worked hard. go to bed early."
Murong Shuqing frowned slightly and said, "Zhuang Zhu, Shu Qing has something else to ask for advice, may I ask?"
Shang Jun nodded and replied, "Let's talk in the tent."
Murong Shuqing followed Shang Jun and Shang Xiao and entered the tent. As soon as he entered the tent, Murong Shuqing immediately stepped forward and supported Shang Jun, Shang Jun also leaned on Murong Shuqing, "Sir, what's the matter with you? ?"
When Shang Jun got off the horse, she felt that her face was very wrong. When she walked to her side, she gave her another wink, and she knew that there must be something wrong with Shang Jun. But it seemed to everyone that they were men and women, so she had to quickly find an excuse to follow up.
Shang Jun didn't answer, just a mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth, and then she couldn't stand and fell down softly. When she fell, Shang's smiling face instantly turned pale with fright, and she shouted at a loss: "Ah—Shu Qing Sister, what should I do?!" What's going on, wasn't it okay just now!
Shang Jun suddenly fainted, Murong Shuqing couldn't hold it, and the two fell on the wool cushion together. Murong Shuqing pulled Shang Jun with difficulty, and said to the frightened Shang Xiao, "Don't yell, help me."
With the joint efforts of the two, they finally carried Shang Jun to the bed. After a lot of tossing, Shang Jun also slowly woke up, but his face was terrifyingly pale, sweat dripped from his head, and he was panting hard. . Murong Shuqing helped her wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth and asked, "Jun, how are you?"
"I, I'm going to find a military doctor." Shang Xiao's eyes were full of tears, seeing the blood still pouring from the corner of Shang Jun's mouth, he was about to rush out of the camp.
The already weak Shang Jun suddenly sat up, grabbed Shang Xiao's hand, and said anxiously, "Xiao'er, don't go." , Shang Xiao was so worried that he didn't dare to take another step. Shang Jun eased his cough and said in a low voice, "The military doctor is here, my identity..."
Hearing what she said, Shang Xiao couldn't help but exclaimed, "You can't even give up your life!" She knows all too well the pain of her sister's disguise as a man over the past few years, why don't she even want her life for this!
Shang Jun wanted to say more, but he was unable to speak, so he could only hold Shang Xiao's hand tightly. Murong Shuqing sighed, how could these sisters be so stubborn! Murong Shuqing said to Shang Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, don't get excited, sit down first."
Murong Shuqing brought a cotton cloth, wiped the sweat and blood on Shang Jun's face, and untied the cloth that bound Shang Jun. She herself had disguised herself as a man, and she knew that she was entangled in layers and breathless. After the cloth was undone, a clear dark red palm print appeared on Shang Jun's right chest. Murong Shuqing took a deep breath. What kind of palm strength was this caused by? Murong Shuqing helped her cover the quilt and asked softly, "Jun, how are you feeling now?"
The congestion in her chest had just spit out, and Murong Shuqing had untied the cloth around her chest for her. Shang Jun felt that her breathing was much smoother, and it was no longer as uncomfortable as being pressed by a big stone, so she took a deep breath. With a breath, he whispered back: "I slapped a palm in the chest. That person's inner strength is extremely deep, and the meridian has been injured."
