The cold rain was like stars, and a pitch-black rope swayed gently under the cover of dusk, and reached the top of Yanliang City silently.
Wan Teng Shuofeng exerted a little force on his hand to test whether the rope was secure. A little bit of drizzle washed his eyebrows and eyes to shine, and the black clothes fit close to his body, outlining his powerful figure. Under the dim light, he looked like a leopard ready to go.
Qing Chen looked around and found that this was a dead corner of Yanliang City. Although it was difficult for a large army to attack the city, it was not a big deal for Wan Tushuofeng to bring a person into the city.
"It's ok." Wan Tuo Shuofeng said in a low voice, and when he turned his head to see Qing Chen staring intently at the top of the city, he showed a smile that was not a smile: "So anxious?"
Qing Chen withdrew his gaze and said softly, "He's waiting for me to go back."
Wan Tuo Shuofeng was about to speak, but suddenly there was a trace of solemnity on his face, he turned his head to look in Yanliang City, and then a very obvious puzzlement appeared in his eyes.
Qing Chen caught the change in his expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wan Tushuofeng frowned and said, "What happened to Ye Tianling? He took the initiative to lure the Turkic army to attack the city."
Qing Chen's eyebrows frowned slightly. At this time, through the looming drizzle, the sound of the battle could be heard clearly, and an ominous feeling inexplicably surged in her heart. She and Wan Chengshuofeng suddenly looked up at each other at the same time, their eyes showed that they thought of the same thing.
"Ye Tianling actually took the risk for you. If he is not careful, he will have no advantage at all." Wan Tushuofeng wrapped the rope with one hand and shook it lightly, calmly said.
Qing Chen's heart was burning with anxiety, but his face was calm and unwavering: "If you go back on your word, it's still too late."
Wan Chengshuofeng laughed loudly: "You don't have to use aggressive methods. I said that I always like to take risks. If I make a decision, I will never go back on my word."
"I didn't intend to provoke you." Qing Chen didn't seem to be joking with him: "If you are not determined, you will inevitably implicate him. If you have the slightest wavering about this matter, turn around now, otherwise it will be of no benefit to both parties. "
Wan Teng Shuofeng raised his eyebrows, and looked at her again: "You have planned carefully for him. If I turn around, will I take you back to Turkic?"
Qing Chen said indifferently: "Listen to your honor." Before she finished speaking, Wan Tuofeng's strong arms were already around her waist, and her wild smile was close at hand: "I will return such a rare princess. Ye Tianling should be grateful anyway." After saying that, Qing Chen felt his body lighten, Wan Tuo Shuofeng borrowed the strength of the rope, and climbed to the top of Yanliang City after a few ups and downs.
"Who is it!" Although this place is secluded, there are soldiers patrolling it. Wan Tuo Shuofeng didn't deliberately hide his tracks and was discovered immediately.
Two long spears pierced the air and struck, Wan Tuo Shuofeng stepped on strange steps, his body moved, and there was a harsh friction of "Clang!", the broad knife did not come out of its sheath, and it seemed to penetrate the gap between the two spears in a seemingly ordinary way, but with The force of the attack will resolve the fierce pincer attack invisibly. The two soldiers only felt a strange real force going up the spear, and the spear was almost unsteady. They took a few steps back and stood still. Qing Chen shouted loudly: "Stop! It's me!"
The general leading the troops saw clearly that it was Princess Ling through the faint rain, and was overjoyed, and bowed down: "Princess!"
The sound of the clash of swords and guns and the neighing of war horses became clearer at this time, Qing Chen asked anxiously, "Where is the Fourth Highness?"
"His Highness is in Qiancheng."
When Qing Chen learned that Ye Tianling was still in the city, his heart fell like a heavy stone, "Take me there quickly!"
There were cold arrows shooting frequently in the mid-air, and the rain blocked the evening sky, constantly washing away the flames of war and blood, and the strong murderous atmosphere in the middle of the night licked the already cracked and mottled city wall.
Dead and wounded soldiers fell one after another from the top of the city, and the huge bluestone was soaked in layers of blood and washed away by the rushing rain.
Broken swords and broken arrows, dead bodies everywhere, the Turkic people are fierce and brutal, the defenders of the city are already red-eyed, there is no one but you.
Under the continuous and gloomy rain, the edge of Ye Tianling's lips was half-hidden and half hidden, engraving an unshakable composure. Even though thousands of troops were beheaded and the battle was fierce this day, the battle armor on his body did not seem to be stained with blood, and there was a natural nobleness in his coldness, just like the calmness in his eyes.
Every vibration of the city wall under his feet represented a wave of formidable confrontation. Because he took the initiative to attack, he was able to lure the enemy and defeat the enemy, and he proceeded in an orderly manner according to certain established traces. The Xuanjia Army's usual inhuman training showed incredible resilience at this time, and the Turkic army seemed to be extremely passive between offense and defense.
Before nightfall, the 500 soldiers from the Shenji Battalion on the 11th Belt and the brothers from Mingyilou who came with the army had already left the city in batches. Ye Tianling made the battle more and more complicated, almost causing most of the enemy troops to be involved in chaos. There was a little emptiness in the back camp, and they had an opportunity to take advantage of it on eleventh.
With a panoramic view of the dark field from the high place, Ye Tianling kept his eyes on the back of the army. But after a while, through the cold rain, a thick black smoke could be seen suddenly rising from the distance of the battlefield. The corners of his lips twitched imperceptibly, besides the Xuanjia Fire Thunder from the Shenji Camp, what else could cause fire and chaos in the rain
The saber at his waist sounded softly, he inadvertently turned his head sideways, and suddenly caught a white figure out of the corner of his eyes. As if a thin thread had been drawn through his heart, he turned around abruptly. Under the night not far away, unexpectedly it was Qing Chen running towards this side.
Ye Tianling suspected that his eyes were dazzled, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurried forward.
"Fourth brother!" Qing Chen called him from a distance, and when he got to him, he saw his appearance clearly, and was stupefied for a moment, stopping on his feet.
Facing each other so close, Ye Tianling's eyes and heart suddenly shrank, and he stretched out his hand and brought Qing Chen into his arms. The tenderness within reach is so tangible, the faint fragrance like water is so familiar, the person in his arms leans over in front of him, and he can feel her slight breathing, rapid ups and downs through the cool armor. He lowered his eyes slightly, and Qing Chen raised his head to meet his gaze. This look seemed to have gone through several lives and deaths, separated by several yin and yang.
Ye Tianling's eyes were filled with surprise and joy, the feigned anger that had surged up in the depths disappeared into the joy that burst into Qing Chen's eyes, and it disappeared.
Qing Chen tremblingly said: "Fourth Brother, I'm back."
Ye Tianling's arms tightened even more, and he suddenly raised his head and smiled, "That's great, I don't think Eleventh Brother could rescue you so quickly!"
Qing Chen was surprised when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked: "I didn't see Eleven, what did he do?"
Ye Tianling frowned: "The eleventh brother came to the rescue, why didn't you see him?"
Shock filled Qing Chen's eyes: "I'm not in the Turkic camp at all!"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Tianling's complexion changed slightly. He looked back at the center of the battlefield filled with beacon smoke, knowing that something was wrong: "Not good! Eleven is dangerous!" He immediately sent an order to dispatch troops, turned around and held Qing Chen's shoulder: " I need reinforcements myself."
Qing Chen said bluntly: "Yanliang has me."
Ye Tianling looked at her deeply, she nodded, and he turned around and walked.
At this moment, Wan Teng Shuofeng suddenly said by the side: "I am most familiar with the layout of the Turkic camp, so I can accompany His Highness for a walk."
Ye Tianling had seen him and Qing Chen coming all the way before, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it. Hearing this, he glanced over. Wanqi Shuofeng clasped his fists and said, "Wanqi Shuofeng, my late father was the sixth prince of Rouran Kingdom and the brother of Princess Molian. Your Highness, I am honored to see you again."
Qing Chen said: "Fourth Brother, he was the one who helped me get rid of the Turks."
Ye Tianling suddenly heard that his mother and concubine had the title of the Rouran clan, and Wan Qishuofeng's identity shocked him slightly. The situation is urgent, no matter who Wan Tuo Shuo Feng is, Qing Chen has confirmed that he is trustworthy, and that is enough. He also raised his hand and returned a salute: "It's so kind."
The city is heavy at night, and the cold rain splashes like flying.
Swords, lights and swords, people roaring and horses neighing, are only mixed sounds and lights and shadows reaching the top of the city. Being in the army, going in and out of life and death, seeing a mountain collapse in front of him without blinking, blood splattered three feet and his heart like still water, even the murderous aura that blocks the sun is nothing unusual.
Qing Chen raised his hand to support the city wall, the bluestone was hard and cold at the tentacles, and the icy rain pierced his bones. She stood there quietly, watching the battle between the two armies. The fierce killing seemed to retreat to calm in this corner, and a cold calm filled the air.
Nangong Jing hurriedly stepped up to the top of the city: "Princess, all the arrows in the city are ready."
Qing Chen nodded and said: "Once they lead the army back to the city, they will immediately use all their strength to suppress the enemy army, and there must be no loss."
Nangong Jing bowed and said: "The last general obeys, Wangfei..."
Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Qing Chen asked, "What else is there?"
Nangong Jing had a hidden worry on his face: "Most of the soldiers are exhausted. Once the arrows in the city are exhausted, we may not be able to hold on for long. The last general is bold, and I ask the princess to persuade the two Highnesses to leave first."
Qing Chen's eyes were clear: "You have been with His Highness for so many years, how can you say such a thing?" Her voice was slightly solemn, making Nangong Jing unable to answer for a while. She turned her head and smiled faintly, "As long as we survive tonight, the reinforcements will arrive."
Nangong Jingdao: "Whether the reinforcements will arrive or not is unknown, how can King Zhan dare to say whether the troops will not move?"
Qing Chen looked at the endless night in front of him, and frowned slightly: "If Your Highness makes mistakes in the northern border, what will happen to the Celestial Dynasty, can you imagine?"
Nangong Jing couldn't figure out why she asked such a question, but answered truthfully: "Since my 15th year of pilgrimage to Shengwu, the burden of the four borders has almost been on the shoulders of His Royal Highness. Now that internal troubles are present and foreign enemies are oppressing the border, if His Highness In case, who can take care of the security of the frontier country again? I am afraid that everyone in the world can see this, and the general will never doubt it."
Qing Chen still stared at the distant and pitch-black sky: "Then what do you think, King Zhan is better than His Highness?"
Nangong Jing was taken aback for a moment: "The last general dare not make rash comments."
Qing Chen pursed his lips silently: "But it's okay to say."
Nangong Jing raised her eyes to look at her, thought for a while, and replied: "In all fairness, King Zhan's intelligence and methods are not inferior to His Highness, and even his reputation in the court is even better than that."
"How can he not know what everyone can see?" Qing Chen sighed very lightly: "Even though he has thousands of plans, he is definitely not a foolish person who misleads the country. In fact, I should have thought of this a long time ago. Yes." She suddenly remembered the pain in Ye Tianzhan's eyes when she aimed her dagger at her chest in front of the barracks, and his spring-like smile was swept away like a landslide. In addition to the sudden panic, there was also the anger aroused by her suspicion. It's just that at that moment, no matter how much she knew Ye Tianzhan, she didn't dare to put all her eggs in one basket. She was not fearless, she was just a woman.
Nangong Jing suddenly realized that the situation is different now, the princess is also in Yanliang, King Zhan may really not stand by and watch. But these words cannot be said, they twirled around his lips, and then fell back into his stomach.
"King Zhan will send troops. Although Turkic may not be so easy for him to reinforce, it is time to arrive." Qing Chen looked away from a distance, and the rain had dyed his hair black like strands, and it was crystal clear.
At this moment, suddenly a group of Turkic troops rushed out and headed straight for Yanliang, followed by the Turkic cavalry in hot pursuit.
Immediately, two people turned around and fired arrows, and immediately several people in the Turkic army were hit by arrows and fell off their horses one after another.
Seeing this, Nangong Jing shouted: "It's His Highness Fourth and Eleventh! And General Shi!"
Qing Chen took a few steps forward: "Bow and arrow cover!"
As Ye Tianling, Eleven and the others got closer and closer to Yanliang City, within a certain range, Nangong Jing gave an order, and thousands of arrows were fired from the top of the city. He was blocked by the dense arrows.
At this moment, several ropes fell rapidly outside the city, and Ye Tianling and others took advantage of this gap to abandon Madden City. But then dozens of soldiers turned around and rushed into the enemy's formation by coincidence, desperately blocking the pursuers with their flesh and blood.
With such a good opportunity in front of them, the Turks would easily give up. While chasing after them, they mobilized their archers, and all of a sudden, arrows flew all over the city, attacking everyone's vital points.
Ye Tianling was like a feather, borrowing strength from mid-air, the long sword in his hand turned into an impenetrable light shield, and the enemy's cold arrows were shot down by the sword energy, making it difficult to get close to him.
Shi Shi, Wan Qi Shuofeng, Shi Zhonghou, Ming Zhi and others followed closely on the left and right, using body skills to avoid the rain of arrows, and within a few ups and downs they were close to the top of the city.
The sharp arrows around are like flying stars, suddenly there is a strange sound, and an arrow flies in, the strength of the arrow is extraordinary, it is very different from ordinary arrows.
A cloud of light rained up in Ye Tianling's hand, the blade of the sword slanted, blocking the arrow, and his arm felt a little numb.
After one arrow, powerful arrows came one after another, and the arrows never left Ye Tianling and Eleven Zhou. The archer seemed to be looking for the two of them and wanted to take their lives.
Wan Tu Shuofeng knew something was wrong when he heard the wind, and recognized Mu Chisha, the number one warrior under Shiluo Khan's tent. This person is very good at martial arts and archery, and even he is not easily provoked.
Among the few people, Mingzhi's lightness kung fu is the best. A black shadow is as swift as light smoke, and it lands on the top of the city first, and turns around to help the soldiers around him pull the rope. , was actually shot off in the sand of the wooden chin.
Mingzhi retreated a few steps uncontrollably, and rushed back to the top of the city in shock, only to see Eleven's figure plummeting, and the tide of enemy soldiers approaching outside the city, already seeing the glint of the sword.
At this time, Ye Tianling let go of Wan Tu Shuofeng almost at the same time, and the momentum of falling caught up with Eleven.
Ye Tianling was the closest to Eleven, with his long sword flying across the sky, Eleven turned around, touched the tip of the sword, and pulled up suddenly.
In this fleeting gap, arrows in mid-air approached him, approaching his eyes.
Wan Teng Shuofeng swung quickly holding the rope with one hand, the light of the knife flashed rapidly, and blocked most of the long arrows aimed at Ye Tianling, but the sharpest arrow pierced through the air, bringing out a howl like a gust of wind , heading straight for Ye Tianling's heart, but it was inevitable.
Everyone could see it clearly, Qing Chen only felt the blood all over his body was emptied in an instant, and the world was spinning before his eyes: "Fourth brother!"
At the very moment, Eleven's originally upward figure suddenly tumbled down rapidly, and went down in mid-air, blocking Ye Tianling in front of him.
An arrow pierced his chest, blood spattered all over his chest.
Ye Tian yelled sharply: "Brother Eleven!" At the same time as he caught Eleven's falling body, he had turned over the top of the wall.
When Shuofeng and others landed one after another, Qing Chen didn't care about other things, and rushed forward to check on Eleven's injuries.
Ye Tianling hugged eleven and leaned in his arms, and asked anxiously, "How is it?"
Blood was flowing from the tentacles, Qing Chen's fingers trembled uncontrollably, and he could hardly answer.
The long arrow pierced through the chest and was at the critical point. The corners of Eleven's lips kept choking blood, and his breath was short of breath. He didn't know whether it was rain or blood on the armor, and there was no trace of warmth, and it dripped coldly all over the ground.
Qing Chen tore the skirt of his clothes with his backhand, pressed Shiyi's wound and looked around, but there was nothing, the equipment and medicine she knew were nothing!
It's not that she can't be saved, she knows how to save her, but she is helpless! He could only watch Eleven's blood spread over his palms, dye his clothes, and wind down the bluestone washed by the torrential rain at the top of the city, as if he had taken away his fresh life and disappeared into the dark night.
The arrow was in front of him, and any movement would be fatal. Qing Chen knelt beside Ye Tianling, and kept applying the only wound medicine he could find around the wound. Eleven coughed violently, raised her hand to stop her, and said with difficulty: "Don't...don't bother..."
Qing Chen bit his lip and shook his head, tears fell like rain in an instant, pattering down on Eleven's hands.
Seeing her tears streaming down her face, Eleven smiled slightly: "I promised... you... did everything... you remember you promised me..."
Qing Chen's heart ached like a knife: "I know, I remember! Eleven, hold on, I'll find a way..."
Ye Tianling put his palm on Eleven's vest, pouring in a steady stream of true energy to protect his heart. Eleven seemed to cheer up a bit, with a handsome and handsome smile on his face all the time, he looked up at Ye Tianling: "Fourth Brother...you...you owe me a drink..."
Ye Tianling's eyes were red, and he nodded to show that he knew, but he only felt that the infuriating energy poured into the sea was like mud, and Eleven's breathing became weaker and weaker. He said hoarsely, "Don't talk..."
Sure enough, Eleven stopped talking, smiled and closed his eyes, but the hand beside him slowly dropped.
Qing Chen couldn't feel any vitality from him anymore, so he cried out: "Eleventh! I'll find a way... Don't fall asleep!"
However, Eleven never answered her again.
Ye Tianling held Eleven tightly in his arms, and didn't say a word for a long time, then suddenly raised his head to the sky and let out a mournful cry that shook the sky.
At this time, earth-shattering shouts of killing sounded in the field as dark as an abyss. The mountains and plains were full of wind and rain, and there seemed to be a billowing dark cloud covering the Turkic army in the sky.
The mountains and fields are verdant, the green forest branches are as bright as water, and the blue sky passes through the clouds with faint shadows, as chic as a man's clear smile.
The breeze is gone.
