The unexpected arrival of Qing Chen and Wei Changzheng surprised Nangong Jing, while Qing Chen was pleasantly surprised to see Shi Zhonghou and Xia Bufeng in his tent.
She didn't have time to go into details, and only briefly explained the matter. Xia Bufeng was so hot-tempered that he almost jumped up before the case and shouted: "How dare these sons of bitches..."
"Bufeng!" Nangong Jing stopped his rambunctious words in time: "Princess, we will mobilize our troops and set off immediately, but the original 100,000 vanguard troops have been brought under the command of the Chinese army, so I'm afraid there won't be enough troops."
Xia Bufeng said: "As long as there is an order, which of the brothers in the Shenyu Army will not serve His Highness? I am afraid that he will not have enough troops!"
Qing Chen said: "The Dragon Talisman is here with me now, we can use it to dispatch the Imperial Army."
Shi Zhonghou has never made a statement, but now he said: "It's too late, even if there is a dragon talisman, it will take time to mobilize the army, not to mention whether we can pass the level of King Zhan is unknown. Right now, the three of us probably have three soldiers that can be used." Wan, the matter is urgent, we can only reinforce first!"
"Just transfer the 30,000 first." Qing Chen thought for a while: "Leave immediately."
Nangong Jing and the others led the troops strictly under Ye Tianling's request, but within a short time, 30,000 soldiers and horses gathered together, and immediately went straight to the Yuanmen without stopping. Unexpectedly, the Yuanmen was already heavily guarded by soldiers, under two rows of unclear torches, Shao Xiubing and Zhong Dingfang rode out slowly, blocking the way.
Gong Sicheng stood in front of the two of them, saluted Qing Chen, and asked: "It's late at night, dare I ask where the princess is going?"
Qing Chen had hated people before, but so far in his life, he has never felt that anyone is as hateful as Gong Sicheng. Due to the situation, I have no time to chat with him, so I just said coldly: "Mr. Gong, please step aside, you know where I am going."
Gong Sicheng said: "I can't interfere with Wangfei's actions, but it seems inappropriate for Wangfei to lead troops out of the camp. I haven't heard of any military order to arrange this way tonight."
Hearing that he was not in a hurry, Qing Chen was entangled, and immediately understood his intentions. As time passed, hope sank. She immediately took out the dragon talisman and raised her voice: "Here is the dragon talisman, as if the Holy Spirit is here in person, dispatching troops and generals, all three armies must obey orders, and don't let go!"
Gong Sicheng didn't expect that there was a dragon talisman in Qing Chen's hand, so he was shocked, but he had a countermeasure: "The dragon talisman of our imperial army has always been handed over by the saint to the commander-in-chief to control the soldiers and horses. I heard that the princess of any mansion can use this to dispatch the army. We can't tell whether the dragon talisman in the princess's hand is real or not, so the talisman should be verified by the supervising barracks to make sure. If the dragon talisman is true and false, no one will dare Stop the princess again."
A sharp light suddenly appeared in Qing Chen's eyes, his face was covered with frost, and he was really angry. What's the use of giving her the 300,000 troops if this delay continues! She raised her eyebrows slightly, and scolded in a cold voice: "Presumptuous! Gong Sicheng, you are just an aide in Yin Xiang's mansion, why do you ask for a dragon amulet to be verified? The army in this battalion belongs to my celestial dynasty, the royal family, or you From the Yin family? It means that there is no precedent in my dynasty for a concubine to hold a talisman to transfer troops, do you have the right to intervene with General Nangong and the others? If you don’t get out of the way, don’t blame me for being rude!”
Gong Sicheng didn't want the usually calm and gentle woman to be sharp in every way once she had an attack, and a series of sharp questions made him unable to refute for a while. But Shao Xiubing led his horse forward: "Although Mr. Gong has no military rank, we are all generals in the army. Are we not qualified to ask about this matter?"
Nangong Jing glanced at him: "General Shao, you and I are both the leading generals of the third rank of the imperial seal, why should I explain to you when I dispatch troops with the Dragon Talisman?"
Shao Xiubing said: "General Nangong, don't forget that the commander-in-chief of the army at this time is His Royal Highness King Zhan. I was ordered to patrol the safety of the camp. How could there be no reason not to ask about the mobilization of so many soldiers and horses in front of me? Use it to verify the authenticity, otherwise no one can leave the camp without the military order of the Chinese army!"
Nangong Jing and other generals who were promoted by military merits, and Shao Xiubing and other high-ranking nobles had always had prejudices against each other, and the rift was deep.
Qing Chen and Nangong Jing glanced at each other, and their hearts were overwhelmed. Even if they verified the dragon talisman, it would not be difficult for them to find other reasons to stop them.
Xia Bufeng didn't have that kind of patience, he drew his sword and shouted: "Whoever dares to block the way and talk too much, I will take his life first!"
There were several "choking clangs", all the soldiers in front of the gate drew their swords out of their sheaths one after another, Shao Xiubing and the others were determined to reckless, their swords were on edge for a while. Nangong Jing's eyes flashed, and she raised her hand to give an order, when someone shouted, "Stop!"
The sound of slapping boots shook the ground, and the heavily armed guards quickly inserted between the two sides who were about to meet with each other, and another two teams of guards separated like wild goose wings, and after that, a steady stream of soldiers surrounded everyone in a short time. The sword armor is distinct and stands awe-inspiring.
With a flash of the black cloak, Ye Tianzhan was already approaching. The fire light reflected in his water-like eyes like a soft wave, but it made people unable to detect the slightest emotion. His eyes swept over the side, Gong Sicheng and others They dismounted one after another: "Your Highness!"
Ye Tianzhan's eyes did not stay in front of them, but fell directly on Qing Chen.
For some reason, the moment Qing Chen saw him, tears rushed to his eyes. Ye Tianzhan saw that she was looking at him motionlessly, but she seemed to be looking through him to an unknown distant place. In the depths of her clear eyes, there was joy, sadness, worry, and anxiety, and there was even a hint of pleading imperceptibly. It was a kind of look he had never seen before, and suddenly a vortex of heaven and earth was set off in his heart, almost taking his breath away.
Ye Tianzhan subconsciously clenched the hands hanging inside the cloak, but what caught everyone's eyes was still a chic look, and said, "Wang Zhang."
Following his elegant and peaceful voice, the commander of the army, Shi Wangzhang, knelt down in front of him, his voice trembling slightly: "Your officer... Your officer is here."
"Have you received the military report from the front tonight?" Ye Tianzhan asked lightly.
Wang Zhang trembled suddenly, raised his head hesitantly, Ye Tianzhan looked ahead and never looked at him at all, he turned to look at Gong Sicheng, but there was a hint of indifference in the gentle voice: "Truthfully Come on."
"Return to Your Highness, yes... yes..." Wang Zhang leaned over and replied.
"Why didn't you report to me?" Ye Tianzhan only glanced at him at this moment.
"At that time...received the military report...already...already reported to the commanding camp of the Chinese Army."
"Report to whom?"
"Reporting...reporting..." Wang Zhang didn't know whether he was nervous and frightened, or he didn't want to speak out, so he stuttered and couldn't explain why.
"Who do you report to?" Ye Tianzhan asked again, Wu Zhao and another deputy commander behind him took a step forward and knelt down with their swords: "Return to Your Highness, I was on duty at that time."
Ye Tianzhan's gaze moved to Wu Zhao. Wang Zhang only felt that the oppressive feeling in his body was relaxed, and he almost collapsed on the ground.
Seeing Wu Zhao's reply, Ye Tianzhan nodded with a light smile: "Have you informed me?"
Wu Zhao kowtowed and said: "The last general was negligent for a while, please punish him, Your Highness."
Ye Tianzhan said slowly: "You have followed me for many years, you should know the rules."
The surrounding guards and all the generals were shocked, and immediately knelt down on the ground, but no one dared to intercede, only Gong Sicheng said bravely: "Your Highness..."
"Huh?" Ye Tianzhan said lightly, and Gong Sicheng couldn't speak anymore.
"Military punishment." Ye Tianzhan said lightly, and immediately an executive officer stepped forward, escorted Wu Zhao and the others to the open space, raised the knife in his hand and dropped it, and within half a breath, he lifted two heads and returned to his command.
Wang Zhang was dragged down, sealed his mouth, and was punished with a stick. After the eighty army sticks were beaten, he was afraid that his life would be in danger.
The surrounding soldiers were dead silent. It's not that I haven't seen beheading in the iron-blooded military camp, but seeing King Zhan with a faint smile, gentle and elegant like a moon, beheading two guard commanders who have been with him for many years with a raised hand, it is only more palpitating than the thunderous anger.
In the eyes of thousands of people, Ye Tianzhan glanced at the head presented in front of him: "Be kind to your family." After saying that, he looked at Qing Chen: "What are you doing?"
Although Qing Chen saw that Ye Tianzhan dealt with several people in a row, he was still not sure whether he would send troops to rescue immediately, after all, it was easy for him to delay the transfer of troops. It was just a trick, and no one dared to suspect that he would be a hindrance, and nothing would be left behind.
As time passed, it was as if she was taking time out of her life, Qing Chen said: "It's past midnight for the urgent report, there can be no further delay, let us reinforce first."
Ye Tianzhan looked indifferent: "Isn't it nonsense to lead such a small force to fight against the 300,000 Turkic army? Go back to the camp first, and I will make my own arrangements."
Qing Chen couldn't hear his intentions, she had the guts to give it a go if she did anything, but at this time she didn't dare to bet the lives of Ye Tianling and Shi Shi anyway. Under the watchful eyes, he insisted: "I want to reinforce first!"
Darkness and complexity emerged from the bottom of Ye Tian's eyes, how could he not feel the distrust in Qing Chen's words? He asked slowly: "What if I never allow you to go?"
This sentence can turn clouds into rain, and change the sun into the moon.
Qing Chen looked at him silently for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and drew out a dagger on his horse. The sword light flashed and pointed at his heart. Ye Tianzhan shouted in amazement: "Qing Chen!"
Wei Changzheng, Nangong Jing and others were also shocked: "Princess not allowed!"
Qing Chen looked at Ye Tianzhan calmly, and said word by word: "Whether I want to go or not, life and death are up to him."
The sharp sword was held between Qing Chen's pale fingers and aimed at her heart, but it seemed to be hanging in Ye Tianzhan's heart. The cold air infiltrated inch by inch along the tip of the sword, making his whole heart gradually become hard and icy cold, and then suddenly shattered into powder under the collision of the short number, and every particle of powder scattered into the sword like sharp ice mercilessly. The blood actually brings a piercing pain.
Ye Tianzhan stood there looking at the determination in Qing Chen's eyes, his face turned livid, and finally threw a number between his teeth: "Let them go!"
Qing Chen relaxed when he heard the words, she won the bet! However, there was no joy in her heart, all the chips she used to fight were given by Ye Tianzhan, she bet everything he had on her, and also won everything he had with her total victory.
"Your Highness!" Gong Sicheng and the others wanted to save the situation, but what they wanted to say was suppressed by Ye Tianzhan's "let go".
Nangong Jing and the others immediately led the army out of the gate. Under the snow-rolling night, the cold light of the sword in Qing Chen's hand flickered slightly. She stared blankly at Ye Tianzhan, who was also standing not far away, with deep eyes It was all the shadow of her holding the sword in front of her.
Thirty thousand soldiers and horses were about to sink into the distant night, Qing Chen said to Ye Tianzhan in a trembling voice: "...Thank you." After saying this, Yun Cheng whipped his backhand, as fast as a light, galloped towards the direction of the reinforcements, leaving behind the dark night vast.
The smoke and dust all fell, eyes were full, and when one person and one horse were about to disappear, Ye Tianzhan slowly closed his eyes, but the white figure became more and more clear, deeply imprinted into the darkness in front of him.
Ye Tianzhan calmed down, opened his eyes and scanned for a week, turned and left without saying a word. Gong Sicheng, Shao Xiubing and others quickly followed.
After entering the handsome tent, Ye Tianzhan stopped in the tent, with his back facing the crowd, with his cloak hanging behind him, he remained motionless, cold and indifferent, extremely alienated.
The people behind them looked at each other, feeling uneasy. They are well aware of Ye Tianzhan's temper, and if he makes any mistakes in his daily actions, they can only reprimand him face to face. If he is really angry, nothing will happen. He hadn't spoken for such a long time, it hadn't happened in many years, no one dared to say a word for a while, and they all stood with their heads bowed.
I don't know how long it took, Ye Tianzhan said in a calm to cold tone: "You all heard clearly, King Ling can die by anyone, including my sword, but he must not die by the Turks. hands." He turned around slowly: "You are wronging the country!"
Such a simple sentence was already a heavy reprimand in everyone's ears, and everyone felt panic in their hearts since Gong Sicheng came down. Seeing them standing stiffly, Ye Tianzhan let out a faint hum: "Why, why are you standing here waiting? Do you want me to teach you what to do now?"
Zhong Dingfang came to his senses quickly, and immediately dragged Shao Xiubing secretly, and knelt down to accept orders: "The last general will make arrangements after this!"
The three of them hadn't quit the command post yet, but Ye Tianzhan said suddenly: "Wait a minute, there is one more sentence you should remember, I'll just say it once—your master is the royal family of the Ye clan."
As soon as this remark came out, Gong Sicheng's pupils tightened slightly, Ye Tianzhan didn't say the second half of the sentence, but the warning in it was very clear - your master is the royal family of the Ye family, not the Yin family.
Ye Tianzhan said to him in a low voice: "Mr. Gong, you should also know how to deal with the people sent back by the Xuanjia Army. Go ahead and do it quickly to avoid future troubles."
At this time, Gong Sicheng really couldn't figure out what Ye Tianzhan's plan was in mind, and now it's inconvenient to say more, so he bowed and quit the handsome tent.
After everyone left, Ye Tianzhan's suppressed anger couldn't be suppressed anymore, and the gentle smile on the corner of his lips dropped instantly. He looked at the front with a cold face, and subconsciously grasped something in front of the case in his hand. He heard a "ping", and a snow-colored jade lamp shattered into several pieces under his hand, and blood immediately dripped with the fragments. He didn't realize it.
"Brother Zhan!"
Ye Tianzhan was startled by the sudden cry, and only then did he remember that Yin Caiqian had been waiting for him to come back in the inner account.
Yin Caiqian hurriedly stepped forward to look at his hand, wanted to say something but hesitated, and asked in a low voice after a while, "Brother Zhan, will you kill Mr. Gong?"
Ye Tianzhan was slightly startled: "Why should I kill Mr. Gong?"
Yin Caiqian wrapped his hands with a silk handkerchief: "When you entered the tent just now, the look in Mr. Gong's eyes was terrible. What Mr. Gong did tonight was wrong, but it was for your own good."
"Scared you?" Ye Tianzhan smiled slightly: "Mr. Gong did nothing wrong, why should I take his life?"
Yin Caiqian was stunned: "Mr. Gong did nothing wrong? Then... Is it my fault?"
Ye Tianzhan said warmly: "You are right, I also want to thank you, otherwise, she doesn't know what will happen." He sighed very slightly, and the pain in the palm of his hand came into his heart at this moment, gradually Turned into exhaustion that soaked the mind.
Yin Caiqian frowned slightly, with a confused expression: "Brother Zhan, what are you talking about? Mr. Gong is right, and I am also right. I am getting more and more incomprehensible to what you are saying."
The luster in Ye Tianzhan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly: "Don't worry about this matter, everything is not only purely right or wrong, there are also right things that you can't do, and sometimes you have to do wrong things. will understand."
Yin Caiqian thought for a while and asked, "This is strange, so tell me what is right but cannot be done, and what is wrong but must be done?"
Ye Tianzhan shook his head slightly: "I can't tell you, maybe it's not a bad thing if you don't know about it."
Yin Caiqian looked at him and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhan, why are you different from before? I... am a little afraid of you."
Ye Tianzhan was silent for a while, a warm smile from the past appeared on the corner of his lips, it was rare for Yin Caiqian to bluntly say that he was afraid of him. He patted Yin Caiqian's shoulder dotingly: "You came here from the sky, didn't you gradually become different from before? If you keep being so mischievous, I will still be afraid of you."
Yin Caiqian relaxed slightly when he heard his tone, and the love she spoke seemed to be the same as when she was a child, so she couldn't help but raise her head and smile at him. Ye Tianzhan looked at her Mingyan's smile, but the haze couldn't be avoided in his heart.
Just now he resolutely executed the two guard commanders, but not only because of the crime of delaying the military situation, the Yin family can even instigate those who have followed him for many years, what else can they not do in the future? Relatives, valves, if he wants to use them, he must guard against them!
