When Ye Tianling left early in the morning, Qing Chen was in a deep sleep and didn't hear a sound. After waking up, my heart felt empty for a while, but I touched something warm and cool by my hand, and at first glance, it was the Xuanyu Dragon Talisman.
It's not that he forgot to bring it, it was specially left for her to keep. The dragon talisman is a very important thing. At this time, Ye Tianling left this for her, just like her husband said before going out, "I will leave the house to you to take care of." Qing Chen stroked the fluttering lines and smiled slightly .
The army took a brief rest and then set off, camped again and entered the border of Jizhou. It was previously reported by the military that the Xuanjia army had successfully captured Moyang, and they would be able to cooperate with the army to form a siege within two days at the latest.
Because he was still in the army, Qing Chen was still dressed in a long shirt and hair tied. Yin Caiqian begged Ye Tianzhan in every possible way, and was finally able to stay, but she didn't even take off her armor all day long, and she couldn't lose to men on horseback and archery.
At dusk, when the lights were turned on in the tent in the morning, Yin Caiqian stayed with Qing Chen for a while and suddenly remembered something, said "I'll go to brother Xia Zhan's place" and disappeared.
Qing Chen shook his head and smiled, nothing happened, so he took a bamboo branch and casually evolved the formation taught by Zuo Yuansun on the ground. From time to time, there was a wind blowing outside the tent, which made the curtains shake, and suddenly a whirlwind rolled something into the military tent, and the lights in front of the desk flickered violently. Qing Chen didn't use any force in his hands, and the bamboo branch snapped softly before his eyes unexpectedly.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt uneasy for no reason. She frowned slightly and looked at the formations on the ground for a while, then got up and walked out of the tent.
The sun sets on the long river in the sky, the setting sun is like blood, the new wind is blowing, and the desert is like weaving. The army was stationed along the river, tens of thousands of military tents rolled up and down, and the long flags were flying, all looming in the twilight.
She stopped in front of the tent and looked around, and a distant flute sounded in her ears.
The sound of the flute is flying over the boundless land of northern Xinjiang, but there is no sadness of lying drunk on the battlefield and burying bones in a foreign country. Turning in the high and far distance of Changsha in the wind, it flies up to a thousand passes, laughing at the strong barbarians, and even orders the three armies to fly. The boldness of Jian Changge. Qing Chen listened attentively, for a moment he forgot that it was cold and windy, the moon-white jade belt fluttered with the wind, brushing his face from time to time, and the last ray of the setting sun slowly receded into the depths of the earth.
The sound of the flute gradually faded away, and slowly fell silent. Qing Chen looked at the commanding camp of the army, with a smile on his lips through the dark twilight.
Someone was talking in front of the tent, Qing Chen turned his head to look and saw Wei Changzheng walking over with someone.
Wei Changzheng approached and bowed slightly: "Princess, the Chinese army has sent two teams of guards to strengthen the defense."
Qing Chen had already seen two teams of guards wearing armor and swords in front of the camp. The man in front of him stroked the hilt of his sword, bowed and said, "The last general Wu Zhao has seen the princess!"
Qing Chen recognized him as the deputy commander of the guards next to Ye Tianzhan, and looking at the clothes of those guards, they were all members of Ye Tianzhan's guards, and smiled: "I don't really need so many people here."
Wu Zhaogong said: "This place is too close to Jizhou. I'm afraid there will be a sudden war. At present, only half of the guards of His Royal Highness are here, so they will be ordered to protect the princess. It's windy outside, the princess should take a rest. .”
Qing Chen didn't say anything more, just said "Thank you" and went back to the tent.
The night was dark, and it was quiet for a while. There were no idlers walking around in front of the tent. You could almost hear the "cracking" of the campfire outside licking the firewood. Qing Chen calmed down, flipped through the book casually, and stroked Xue Zhan lying on his body.
Xue Zhan lay obediently on Qing Chen's knees, and it was very comfortable to press his ears back slightly, but suddenly he propped himself up and listened.
Qing Chen raised her head, and there were footsteps outside, she vaguely heard someone scolding: "Wu Zhao, you are so bold! Even I dare to stop you!"
The voice was still far away from the tent, and it sounded like Yin Caiqian. Ye Tianzhan's guards all recognized this lady of the Yin family, so they naturally knew her unruly temper, so how dare they really stop her? Sure enough, immediately after the curtain was lifted, Yin Caiqian entered the tent.
She brought a gust of cold wind into the tent, Qing Chen said with a smile: "You come here at this time, don't you want to sleep with me again?"
Yin Caiqian rolled down the hood of her cloak, revealing a slightly ruddy face due to the cold air, but a hurried and panicked expression was revealed between her bright eyebrows and eyes under the lamp. She took a few steps to the front of the case: "You still have the heart to joke with me, something happened to the Fourth Highness!"
Qing Chen was startled, his smile froze: "What's wrong?"
Yin Caiqian hurriedly said: "They met the Turkic army! Knowing that the situation was over, Yu Su colluded with the Turkic people and secretly sent 300,000 Turkic troops into the pass to counterattack Moyang. They only had 10,000 Xuanjia troops..."
Before Yin Caiqian could finish her sentence, Qing Chen stood up abruptly, Xue Zhan jumped away from the side in embarrassment in fright, the shadow of the lamp flickered for a while, her heart seemed to plummet down hard, and she felt the shock of suddenly stepping into the empty valley Fear, 300,000 Turkic army!
The flustered feeling came over my heart for a moment, "When did it happen? Who reported it?" Qing Chen asked immediately.
The sudden sharp light in her eyes startled Yin Caiqian, "I should have received the emergency report before nightfall. I came out from Brother Zhan and overheard them talking. They locked him up and wanted to hide the matter. Let the Fourth Highness die by the hands of the Turks!" Her voice was trembling slightly, she didn't know whether it was shock or fear.
This news was even more shocking than the previous one. Qing Chen clutched the book in his hand tightly, feeling cold all over his body, "Could it be that the Chinese army has been standing still for midnight?" She threw the book on the table and walked out quickly Go, but was stopped by Yin Caiqian. "Where are you going? You can't get out like this! Wu Zhao and the others were ordered to trap you and Mr. Zuo separately in the camp under the guise of safety. If they didn't dare to be presumptuous, I wouldn't be able to get in. You change my clothes first Let’s go out and talk about it, don’t blame brother Zhan, he didn’t send someone here.”
It's no wonder that the Chinese army suddenly wanted to deploy more defenses, and they found such a high-sounding reason that no one doubted that he was there. Qing Chen took the cloak from Yin Caiqian with one hand, but didn't put it on, and his mind was racing: "Does King Zhan know about this? Who gave the order?" She asked in a deep voice, her tone already An almost icy calm.
Yin Caiqian shook her head: "I don't know if brother Zhan has received an urgent report, it seems that he didn't, they are..." She hesitated for a moment, as if she didn't want to tell the person, Qing Chen said coldly: "Gong Sicheng! "
Yin Caiqian silently admitted her guess. After all, Gong Sicheng was a member of the Yin family, so she had to be scruples. Qing Chen immediately asked, "Why did you come to tell me?"
In Yin Caiqian's eyes, her calm and deep eyes instantly coincided with a person's, so similar eyes, cold light hidden deep, piercing the heart, Yin Caiqian seemed to feel a silent pressure, which was irresistible, and replied: "I don't want to be four Your Highness, and... There is also an accident with His Highness the Eleventh. You should quickly find a way, the Turks have a force of 300,000, and it will be too late."
Qing Chen stared at her for a moment, then handed her the cloak in his hand again: "Go to King Zhan now and try to let him know about it."
Yin Caiqian hesitated, and said something she didn't want to say: "What if he knew?"
Qing Chen closed his eyes slightly, took a breath of cold air, and opened his eyes: "If he gave all the orders, then you should try your best to make things big, at least to alarm Shi Zhonghou and Xia Bufeng."
Yin Caiqian lowered her head and thought about it, then bit her lips slightly: "Okay! I'll listen to you, so what should you do?"
"Let's work separately, people outside can't stop me." Qing Chen said, looking deeply at Yin Caiqian: "Thank you!"
Yin Caiqian raised her eyes and smiled hastily, and said, "You're welcome, I just think it's right to do so!"
After Yin Caiqian left, Qing Chen quickly recalled the military aircraft map that he had seen thousands of times. The situation around Jizhou had never been as clear as it is now, and the topography of the city was vivid.
After a while, she got up and went out of the tent and shouted: "Long Zheng!" Wei Changzheng didn't expect her to go out at this time, and asked in surprise, "Wangfei, do you have something to order?"
Near the camp was still the Xuanjia guards of Prince Ling's Mansion, and the people brought by Wu Zhao were all on the outskirts, and because of this, they could stop the people from the camp from afar, making it difficult for Wei Changzheng and others to notice the strangeness for a while.
Qing Chen glanced into the depths of the dark night: "Take someone and follow me!"
Wei Changzheng knew something had happened just by hearing his breath, so he led his people to follow immediately without further questioning.
At this time, Qing Chen's heart was like a frying pan, and he was extremely anxious. The victory or defeat on the battlefield is often only an instant, and maybe it is too late now.
No one thought that Yu Su would take such a risky move when he was at the end of his life. The Turks must have this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity because they wanted to destroy the sky first and then invade the Central Plains. As for Ye Tianzhan, Qing Chen didn't dare to bet, and he didn't have time to guess whether he had made up his mind to eliminate his opponent.
She can't afford to lose, he is the lover who is as elegant as jade in front of Xianyu Lake, and also the king Zhan who is as ambitious as the sky and as scheming as the sea.
She has no time to ponder anyone's role and purpose, and there is only one person's shadow left in her heart, that person's life, she lives, that person's death, she dies.
All sorts of schemes roiled her heart, and she held tightly the black jade dragon talisman in her hand. No matter what attitude Ye Tianzhan took, she had decided to send troops to help at all costs in the shortest possible time. She only hoped that Ye Tianling and Eleven Can rely on the bravery of the Xuanjia Army to support until that moment.
Sure enough, Wu Zhao brought someone to meet him after he had not gone far: "It's so late, where is the princess going?" He still had that respectful tone, with his eyes downcast, but he blocked the way. There was something strange.
Qing Chen smiled coldly, his face blurred under the campfire: "Where do I go, do I still need the permission of Commander Wu?"
Facing this sudden accusation, Wu Zhao was secretly startled, but still stood in front of him: "The general thinks it's too dangerous outside, Wangfei, please go back."
"Are you inviting me, or ordering me?" Qing Chen walked forward without stopping: "Get out of the way!"
Wu Zhao took another step forward and blocked the way: "If there is anything wrong with the princess, I will not be able to explain it!"
"You don't need to explain, since you are here to protect me, you can follow if you don't worry!" Qing Chen walked straight forward, Wu Zhao stood in front of her, with a look of surprise under the cover of the armor. Suddenly a pair of moon-white boots came into his vision, and the fragrance like water and orchids came over his face, which made him raise his head in a hurry, but just as the campfire flashed, Qing Chen's slightly hanging phoenix eyes were clearly visible in the bright light of the fire. The ground is like a blade of floating light across his eyes, straight to his heart, as cold as autumn water, condensed as a sharp edge.
Wu Zhao stepped back almost in embarrassment to avoid bumping into her. Qing Chen regarded him as nothing, and walked forward step by step. Wu Zhao had no choice but to back away in a panic. The other guards around were swept away by Qing Chen's gaze, and no one dared to look up at each other, let alone offend them, and retreated to the side one after another.
The coldness in Qing Chen's eyes forced Wu Zhao: "Long March, if someone dares to be presumptuous, you don't have to be polite!"
Wei Changzheng and the Xuanjia guards led by him put their hands on the hilt of their swords to follow the bodyguard, the cold air from the cold sword slowly spread, and Wu Zhao had no choice but to move aside.
With a flick of Qing Chen's sleeve robe, he walked away, and the white clothes that disappeared into the night flew dazzlingly, like a sharp whip slashed fiercely in front of Wu Zhao's eyes, and the wind behind him was cold, and he was already covered in cold sweat.
Seeing Qing Chen leading people straight to the Nangong Jingzhang camp, Wu Zhao smashed the hilt of his sword angrily, and shouted, "Report to Mr. Gong!"
Zhong Dingfang, Feng Changjun, Shao Xiubing and other generals close to the Yin family were sitting in front of the case in the camp at this time, but Gong Sicheng, who had always been calm, kept pacing with his hands behind his back, seemingly full of thoughts.
Since the dispute caused by Li Bu that day, Gong Sicheng has always been worried. Since the Emperor of Heaven was able to deliver even the Dragon Talisman to King Ling, it is hard to say whether there will be more things in the future. He has been classmates with Zuo Yuansun for many years, and he knows that Zuo Yuansun is arrogant and deeply attached to old feelings. Since King Rui's accident happened, he retired from officialdom and seldom interacted with others. Although Zuo Yuansun said that he came here for Conanxu this time, he obviously had an extraordinary relationship with King Ling. These two incidents made him vaguely aware that it was a bit unusual. The battle in Northern Xinjiang was for military power, but now that he thinks about it, he didn’t The slightest certainty.
"Mr. Gong!" Feng Changjun asked, "What are you worried about?"
Generals like Feng Changjun are different from Nangong Jing and the others. Their titles are all hereditary, and their status is somewhat similar to that of the imperial family and nobles. At this time, Zhong Dingfang was playing with the exquisite ornaments on the sword, and raised his head and said: "After all, what happened tonight is still hidden from His Highness. If you are worried, sir, it is reasonable." Even though he said that, he didn't feel anything wrong in his tone The meaning, on the contrary, brings out a bit of indifference.
Gong Sicheng stopped in his tracks: "I'm not worried that His Highness will know, even if this matter is reported to the commander-in-chief, His Highness will naturally know the pros and cons of it, and with our help, His Highness will be saved from embarrassment."
"What are you worried about, sir?"
Gong Sicheng was silent for a moment, then let out a sigh of relief: "King Ling's methods are extraordinary, if he can't succeed this time, I'm afraid there will be no such opportunities in the future."
"Hmph!" Shao Xiubing, who had been silent all this time, snorted coldly: "It's just that seductive woman who caused some trouble. The late emperor was harmed by her and died young in his prime. I don't know why the emperor also fell in love with this woman. No matter how powerful King Ling is, he is half of the blood of a foreign race, so what qualifications does he have to compete with His Highness?"
"General Shao speaks carefully!" Feng Changjun was more stable among the few people. Although Shao Xiubing said that he thought the same thing, but the trouble came out of his mouth. It's better not to say such a taboo thing.
Gong Sicheng also gave Shao Xiubing a cautious look, but he couldn't help but sighed again - even though that's the case, it's just that the emperor doesn't necessarily think so!
He was frowning and thinking, when suddenly Wu Zhao lifted the curtain and came in in a hurry, apparently in a hurry, he didn't even pay attention to the generals present: "Mr. Gong, something happened over there!"
Gong Sicheng was surprised: "What's the matter?"
"Concubine Ling knew the urgent report ahead, and led people out of the camp!"
"What?" Gong Sicheng couldn't help raising his voice slightly: "Where did you go?"
"Looking in the direction is Nangong Jing's tent."
Gong Sicheng was very annoyed: "I said a long time ago that Nangong Jing shouldn't have stayed in the first place!"
Zhong Dingfang stood up: "Hurry up and stop them, don't make a fuss!"
Shao Xiubing threw the jade in his hand: "I led people to seal the way out, I don't believe they can force their way in!"
Gong Sicheng raised his hand to stop him: "There's no need for such a big fanfare, just one word - procrastination! It's already past midnight, even if the Xuanjia army has the power to reach the sky, how long can they resist the 300,000 Turkic army?"
