The next day, Lin Wanyue and Li Xian were having breakfast together in the Marshal's Mansion.
The concierge ran in panting and knelt at the door: "Commander, princess, the herald asks to see you."
Lin Wanyue put down the chopsticks in her hand: "Let him in!"
…
"Report to the commander, the scout found a group of Xiongnu chasing a woman dressed as a Xiongnu 50 miles away. The woman seems to be fleeing from Yangguan City, please show me the commander."
Lin Wanyue looked at Li Xian, who nodded.
Lin Wanyue got up: "I'll go take a look."
"I'll go with the concubine, the concubine doesn't recognize the man."
"Alright."
Lin Wanyue and Li Xian came to the city wall, and after a stick of incense, flying dust appeared in their sight.
Lin Wanyue had rich experience in fighting against the Huns. He could roughly judge the number of Huns by listening to the sound of horses' hooves or observing the range of dust.
"Princess, look... the number of Xiongnu cavalry is more than a thousand."
Li Xian looked into the distance and shook her head, "I still can't see clearly."
The soldier on the side asked Lin Feixing for instructions: "Commander, are you playing trumpets and drums?"
Lin Feixing frowned: "Don't do it now, tell General Wei to personally take two vanguards to stand by in the city, and the archers are ready!" After thinking about it, he added: "There is no need to alert the two deputy commanders and others, this is sent by the commander. People, it's a private matter."
Last night, Lin Wanyue had a secret conversation with Li Xian Bingzhu. Li Xian told Lin Feixing that when she first came to the north three years ago, she had infiltrated a secret agent into the Xiongnu...
Lin Wanyue didn't expect Li Xian's plan to start from the first time she came to the North, she deliberately took everything on her own.
Now the situation in the northern border is full of strangeness, and there are countless pairs of eyes staring in the dark. Lin Wanyue doesn't want the people Li Xian sent out to be exposed to the three armies, even if Lin Wanyue knows that with Li Xian's mind, she will be able to get it later. Although she made a reasonable statement, she still didn't want to push Li Xian to the light. Lin Wanyue herself couldn't explain this kind of thinking.
Fortunately, there were not many people chasing after the Huns, and the two pioneers were enough to deal with them.
As the rumbling of the hooves got closer and closer, Lin Wanyue saw the Huns cavalry chasing a woman. Although the woman threw a distance from the Huns, she seemed to be injured. unstable.
"Consort, save people!"
"The archer shoots the arrow! Don't shoot the woman! Let the rope go down, and the cavalry under the city will be in place?"
"Go back to the commander, the cavalry is already in place!"
"The cavalry rushed out to cover the woman and annihilate this group of Huns!"
"Yes!"
The heavy gate of Yangguan City was pushed open, and the two vanguard cavalry rushed towards the Huns. At this time, the Huns and the woman were already very close to the city. In order to prevent the mutation, after the cavalry rushed out, the soldiers rushed out. The gate of Yangguan City was closed tightly.
The two groups of cavalry soon came to a fight, and the archers stopped firing their arrows.
With the cover of the cavalry, the woman felt much more relaxed. She looked at the city wall and showed a relieved expression. She covered her bleeding arm with one hand, jumped off the horse, and stumbled to the ropes hanging on the city wall.
"Prepare to pull people!" Lin Feixing ordered while paying attention to the situation under the city. She noticed that as the woman got closer to the rope, the Huns under the city became more and more restless. The soldiers picked up their bows and arrows and aimed at the woman!
Lin Wanyue's eyelids twitched, the Huns cared so much about this woman, and this woman must have acquired important information!
Lin Wanyue's heart hung up, nervously looking at the woman under the city, watching her grab the rope and wrap it around her waist, and shouted, "Pull!"
Following Lin Feixing's order, the four soldiers exerted their strength in unison, and the woman under the city showed a painful expression on her face.
At this moment, the Xiongnu cavalry rioted again, and more people picked up bows and arrows and shot at the woman!
Lin Wanyue never imagined that this group of Huns would be so desperate, and this woman would become a living target in a blink of an eye!
"Let it go! Quick!"
The four soldiers let go of their hands in unison, and the woman fell down quickly. There was no difference between the front and the rear, and dozens of arrows were nailed to the city wall just where the woman stopped just now!
The rope was also hit by several arrows. Fortunately, the rope was lowered. If it was pulled up again, even if the woman was not shot, the rope would definitely break due to the lack of weight.
This height must kill the woman!
Lin Wanyue was lying on the city pier and looked down at the city. She, who was already injured, was unable to stand still after such a fall. She leaned against the city wall weakly, and her body slowly slid down.
Although the Xiongnu under the city were killed a lot, there were still people who kept shooting arrows at the woman, but fortunately none of them were hit!
Lin Wanyue sweated anxiously on her forehead. The more she did, the more important the information this woman possessed!
She gritted her teeth and shouted, "Bring the big shield!"
Li Xian was shocked when she saw that Lin Feixing had actually pinched two strands of rope around her waist, "Consort!?"
"Princess, I'm going to rescue her, wait for me!"
Li Xian grabbed Lin Feixing's arm and said, "The concubine's status is precious, and he is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, so let's go!"
"No, they are all too heavy. Even though I tied two strands of rope, the rope would inevitably be shot. If there was only one strand of rope left, it would not be able to bear the weight of two people plus the large shield. The woman under the city was seriously injured. I'm afraid that I won't survive a fall, so let the hands and feet of the person pulling the rope be faster, we will be able to come up safely, you can rest assured!"
After Li Xian listened to Lin Feixing's words, her dignified restraint disappeared: "Her mission has been completed, so there is no need to save her."
Lin Wanyue looked at Li Xian in astonishment. Li Xian's words deeply hurt her heart. Li Xian's attitude towards the abandoned child was so heartless, even to the point of despising her, Lin Wanyue suddenly felt that Such Li Xian was so unfamiliar.
She couldn't help thinking of herself, if one day, she also completed the "mission", would she end up the same as the women in the city? A bitter sadness welled up in my heart.
Lin Wanyue has been in the army for five years. Although she is used to seeing life and death, her attitude towards life is completely different from Li Xian's: it is precisely because she has experienced too many deaths that Lin Wanyue cherishes every life. Bloodshed in war is inevitable, but Die well too! She can accept a person dying on the battlefield, and she can accept a person dying on the way to complete a mission, but she can't accept being abandoned by her own people when she returns from a mission.
The unfamiliarity and disappointment in Lin Feixing's eyes went straight to Li Xian's heart; Li Xian could feel Lin Feixing's deep sadness when she looked at those eyes. This feeling touched Li Xian's heart, but she still didn't have the slightest bit of grief. The meaning of concession, one hand tightly grasped Lin Feixing's forearm, his fingertips turned white.
The soldier on the side was carrying a large shield and looked at the marshal and the princess with a bewildered expression. Lin Wanyue felt the soldier's gaze, closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, her eyes became calm. Down, hidden the fluctuation of the right talent.
Lin Wanyue knew that this was not a place to argue with Li Xian, and she also knew that she had no ability to change Li Xian, but she must save this person!
Now the woman in the city is no longer simply a spy, she bears the different attitudes of Lin Wanyue and Li Xian towards life.
Li Xian felt that the hand holding Lin Feixing's arm was already aching.
However, this amount of strength was simply insignificant to Lin Wanyue.
Li Xian felt a pain in her hand, as if a vise was pinching her hand. Lin Wanyue was not reluctant to exert any force, but relaxed, breaking apart Li Xian's fingers one by one.
Lin Wanyue wrapped the rope around her waist three times, pulled it hard, and took the big shield from the soldier's hand.
She gave Li Xian a deep look, with stubbornness in her eyes.
Li Xian clearly felt a burning pain on the back of her hand. She also looked at Lin Feixing with a cold face, and didn't say a word.
Lin Feixing carried the big shield and easily collapsed onto the city pier. The soldiers quickly lowered the rope.
Lin Wanyue came to the woman, carrying a large shield, the woman was holding the injured arm, her face was pale, and she was dying; blood was dripping down her arm.
"Girl?" Lin Wanyue called out, but the woman didn't respond.
There was a muffled sound of "touch", and an arrow hit the big shield. Fortunately, the big shield was made of three-inch thick hardwood, and it was difficult for ordinary bows and arrows to penetrate.
Lin Wanyue picked up the woman with one hand, and carried the large shield with the other hand on her shoulders.
"pull!"
Li Xian, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up, and ordered with a sullen face, "Come and pull together with a few more people!"
"Yes!" Immediately, an archer put down the bow and arrow in his hand and joined the team of pulling people.
Lin Wanyue hugged the woman and carried the large shield, and slowly lifted into the air. When it reached a height of ten feet, muffled noises began to be heard frequently from the large shield.
General Wei Meng Ni Da looked at Lin Feixing hanging on the city wall, and scolded: "Go to Lao Tzu and kill all these Huns!" Meng Ni was sweating in a hurry. These Huns were crazy, holding mortal dogs Risk the arrow, and shoot the arrow before you get killed!
When it reached the height of two feet, Lin Wanyue's body sank with a burst of exclamations on the city wall!
"What's wrong!?" Li Xian asked with a gloomy face.
"Back to the Princess, the rope seems to have been shot by the Huns, and it broke!"
"Steady first, throw a few strands of rope down!"
"Yes!"
Lin Wanyue looked up and was unfortunately caught by her words: The rope was hit by a strand, and they stopped in mid-air, and she didn't know if the strand could withstand it!
Just as Lin Wanyue was worried, a few strands of rope hung down from the city wall.
Li Xian couldn't hold back in the end, she lay down on the city pier and looked down.
"His Royal Highness Princess!" The soldier carried a large shield and guarded Li Xian's side.
Li Xian saw: Lin Feixing was holding the large shield full of arrows in one hand, and holding Youqin tightly in the other hand. Youqin had already lost consciousness.
Li Xian couldn't help shouting, "Consort! Leave her behind! Grab the rope!"
Lin Wanyue raised her head with difficulty when she heard Li Xian's voice, and the two looked at each other in the air.
Lin Wanyue saw the worry in Li Xian's eyes, and her heart warmed; the rope was shaking slightly, and a rope really couldn't bear this weight!
It's time to make a choice!
Li Xian's eyebrows were raised, her eyes fixed on Lin Feixing, both angry and worried: Why is this person so stubborn? Why don't you just listen to yourself!
Suddenly, Li Xian saw: Lin Feixing, who looked up at her, laughed.
Li Xian's heart skipped a beat, and sure enough, under Li Xian's gaze, Lin Feixing threw away the big shield in his hand, freed up one hand, and grabbed the rope that was thrown down.
Li Xian's pupils shrank, and fine beads of sweat ooze out from her palms: "Pull it!" The tone was no longer dull.
Losing the heavy shield, the speed of the ascent was much faster. However, when he was less than ten feet away from the entrance of the city pier, Lin Wanyue saw an arrow flying towards the two of them at a very fast speed. !
Lin Wanyue's hands should not be empty, and she was in the air without any help! It's too late to dodge!
At the critical moment, Lin Wanyue stomped on the city wall behind her with her right foot. With force on her waist, she held the unconscious woman in a circle in mid-air, pressing the woman against the city wall and hugged her in her arms. His back was completely exposed to the air.
"No!" Following Li Xian's exclamation, the arrow stuck in Lin Feixing's back heart.
"Hmm!" Lin Wanyue snorted in pain, her body rose quickly, and she was pulled up to the city wall.
