"Hiss!" Amidst the loud neighing of the horses, a group of cavalry wearing bright armor also appeared at the entrance of Beishan Village. Everyone's face was full of Wwん. la
This is a well-trained elite cavalry, and each cavalry has a blood-red triangle pattern printed on its armor.
Red Feather Guards, the bodyguards of the Northern Desert Divine Marquis Mansion!
"He's from the Northern Desert God's Palace!"
"Master Hou... Mr. Hou is here in person!"
"See you, Mr. Hou!"
When the villagers saw the patterns on the cavalry's armor, they all quickly recognized them, and then they knelt on the ground one by one.
Chi Hong, the Marquis of Shenhou Mansion, who was wearing a large purple robe right in front of the crowd, looked at the villagers in front of him and then at the white cloth hanging high in the village, and his expression changed slightly.
"What happened?"
"Reporting to Lord Hou, yes, the devil came and killed our village chief..." The villagers cried immediately after hearing Chi Hou's words.
After all, in the eyes of the villagers, the Bei Desert Shenhou Mansion is the pillar in the hearts of the people in the Bei Desert, and it is an existence that can compete with the demons.
"Devil? Is it a demon?" Chi Hou's expression changed, and then his eyes turned cold: "Where is Yan'er? How is she? Is she in your Beishan Village?"
"Go back to your lord, the princess is at Fang's house."
"Quick, take me there quickly!"
"yes!"
…
A group of cavalry soon appeared at the entrance of Fang's courtyard, which caused the villagers surrounding the entrance of Fang's courtyard to make way for them.
But Chi Hou obviously didn't care too much now, and rushed towards the Fang family's small courtyard in three steps and two steps at a time, obviously extremely eager.
"Master Hou." A voice rang at this time, and then Wu Yuer, wearing a black gauze dress, also appeared at the door of Fang's house.
"Wu Yu'er?" Chi Hou frowned, and then spoke again: "How is Yan'er? I heard that Yan'er was in a coma. Have you woken up now? Why didn't Yan'er come out to see me? Didn't something happen? Where is Fang Zhengzheng? Where is that kid? "
A series of questions came out of Chi Hou's mouth. It can be seen that Chi Hou is really in a very anxious mood now.
After all, Chi Guyan is his life's hope and his greatest pride.
"Master Hou should not be here now." Wu Yu'er did not answer Chi Hou's question, but stopped at the door and said.
"What's the meaning?"
"It's at least ten days' journey from Jinlin City to Beishan Village. The Marquis hasn't answered me yet, why did you show up here so soon?" Wu Yu'er continued to ask.
"Do I have to answer your question?" Chihou frowned slightly.
"yes!"
"Well, the news of Fang Zhengzheng's return to Daxia has long spread throughout the Northern Desert. I got a secret report that Yan'er was seriously injured and unconscious, and Fang Zhengzheng will definitely return to Beishan Village as soon as possible, so I Hou Zai had already rushed towards Beishan Village at starry night ten days ago... "
"Where did Mr. Hou get the secret report?" Wu Yu'er didn't wait for Chi Hou to finish, but directly interrupted Chi Hou and asked again.
"This is a military secret. I naturally have my own intelligence channels, so you don't have to..."
"I see." Wu Yu'er interrupted Chi Hou again, then frowned and looked at the rising sun: "Yun Qingwu... is indeed amazing!"
"What Yun Qingwu? What do you mean... Do you mean?!"
"Yesterday, a demon army appeared in Beishan Village. It came over from Cangling Mountain. If my guess is correct, this group of demon army should not be the only ones launching this attack. What does Chi Hou think I am talking about? mean?"
"You, you..." Sweat suddenly appeared on Chi Hou's face, his body trembled, and his large purple robe was completely soaked in an instant.
"Master, please come in!"
"I... I was meant to be... now..."
"You don't need to think about it anymore. By the time you rush back to Jinlin City, Jinlin City has already been captured. Now what you need to consider is how to apologize to the Emperor of Daxia."
"..." Chi Hou moved his mouth, wanting to say something more, but after moving his mouth for a long time, he still didn't say another word.
Because he knew very well that if it was true as Wu Yu'er said, then the fall of Golden Scale City would have become inevitable, and not even a glimmer of hope would be possible.
After all, the opponent he faced was Yun Qingwu!
Moreover, the most important thing is that this plan was obviously decided by Yun Qingwu early in the morning. If he was prepared, he would have nothing to say if he lost.
…
Three days later, Saint Tianxu rushed to Beishan Village and arrived at the Fang family courtyard immediately. He checked on Fang Zhengyi, who was unconscious. Then, he shook his head and said nothing.
Two days later, the village chief Zhang Yangping, Mr. Mo Cheng, and the twenty-three corpses found on Cangling Mountain were buried behind the village in Beishan Village.
For five days, Chi Hou stayed in Beishan Village, guarding Chi Guyan's room, without leaving or walking out of the room.
Time passed quickly, and soon, another five days passed.
"Report, report to the Lord Hou, Jinlin City... Jinlin City has been lost... has been captured!"
"I know." Chihou looked at the sergeant who was kneeling at the door of Fang's courtyard, shook his head gently, and then returned to the house again.
On a bed covered with animal skins, Chi Guyan lay quietly, his pale face had become extremely calm, but his breathing rhythm was very slow.
"Yan'er, I'm sorry for you as my father, and I'm also sorry for Your Majesty. As a father, I can't protect you, and as a military commander, I can't protect the people of Jinlin City. My father is useless, it's useless..."
“…”
In the small courtyard.
Wu Yu'er, who was wearing a long black gauze dress, was watering a pot of flowers in the courtyard while looking back at Chi Hou who was walking out of the house.
"Are you planning to go to Yanjing City to plead guilty?"
"Yes, please ask Wu Clan Master to take good care of Yan'er. I'm very grateful!" Chi Hou was slightly startled, glanced at Wu Yu'er, and finally nodded.
"Master Hou is not going to take Chi Guyan away?"
"I am a sinner now. Yanjing City is probably going to be in trouble this time. How can I bring Yan'er with me?" Chihou's face was filled with loneliness.
"Well, that's right." Wu Yu'er was not too surprised, and then gently put down the water ladle in his hand: "Now that Mr. Hou is gone, I am really not afraid that I will never see Chi again." Are you alone?"
"Yan'er, I..."
"I have a suggestion. I wonder if Master Hou is willing to listen to it?"
"Master Wumen, please speak!"
"Although Golden Scale City has been lost, the foundation of the Five Prefectures in the Northern Desert still exists. If Lord Hou can issue military orders with the intention of recapturing Golden Scale City, the troops of the Five Prefectures in the Northern Desert will surely be able to regroup. With the current situation, Lord Hou's As long as we have an army in our hands, how can Yanjing City dare to convict the Marquis?"
"What do you mean, do you want me to commit treason?!"
"Haha, Mr. Hou is a smart man. Why is he so ignorant? Why don't you think about it carefully first? You will naturally understand the meaning of my words soon."
"..." Chi Hou was silent, his brows furrowed, but soon, his eyes lit up slightly, and his fists were clenched: "Do you want me to be guilty and meritorious?"
"Sure enough, Mr. Hou can understand everything at once. Let me ask, in the entire Great Xia, who else knows the Northern Desert better than Mr. Hou, and who is more suitable to lead the army of the five prefectures in the Northern Desert than Mr. Hou? I think Mr. Hou should You understand what I mean. If Lord Hou goes to Yanjing City like this now, then even if the Emperor of Daxia does not want to kill you, under pressure, he still has to convict Lord Hou. Even if it is the lightest crime, it is probably If he is imprisoned to await trial, then the five northern desert mansions may really become the territory of the demon clan." Wu Yu'er continued.
"So, you want me to gather the army and retake Golden Scale City?"
"No, since Yun Qingwu has taken action against Golden Scale City, it is impossible for Mr. Hou to recapture Golden Scale City in a short time. I just want Mr. Hou to be patient for the time being and preserve the strength of the five northern desert houses." Wu Yu'er shook his head. shook his head.
"You want me to watch the people of the five Northern Desert Prefectures suffer and stand still here?! This is impossible!" Chihou shook his head without thinking.
"The Marquis can consider for himself whether to choose to preserve the foundation of the Five Houses in the Northern Desert and wait for the opportunity, or to make a fearless sacrifice now." Wu Yu'er said casually.
"Wu Yu'er, you... okay, tell me your plan first!"
"I sent you a request to Yanjing City first, saying that you have used Golden Scale City as bait to control a city of demon soldiers. Please ask Yanjing City to send troops and food to help you encircle and suppress!"
"I lost Golden Scale City, and you still want me to ask for merit?!"
"Does the Marquis want to plead guilty? If so, the imperial court's decree to convict him will probably be issued soon. By then, the Marquis will lose his position as military marquis, and he may really become a rebel."
"..." Chi Hou's lips moved, his brows furrowed tightly, and his fists were clenched until they turned white. But after a moment, he looked at Wu Yu'er again: "Say, after submitting the request for merit, and then What should I do?”
"Master Hou has lost Jinlin City. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that. At this time, it is impossible for the court to approve the request for troops to be in Liangliang. I am afraid that the officials of Chaoyan will already know about Master Hou's order." The rebellious spirit of the Lord, if my guess is correct, there should be courtiers who want to kill the Lord Hou soon."
"Go on!"
"If it were normal, the imperial court would have immediately sent troops to suppress it. However, under the current situation, it is impossible for the imperial court to do so. They did not even dare to issue an order to punish the marquis because they had to worry about the enemy in the hands of the marquis. It is absolutely impossible for our soldiers and horses to force the Marquis to rebel at this time!"
"Keep talking!"
"In order to appease the Marquis, the imperial court can only acquiesce to your request for merit. In this way, the Marquis will still have meritorious service on the surface. He will still be the military marquis of the Five Prefectures of Bei Mo, and the army of the Five Prefectures of Bei Mo will still be With the Marquis in charge, although the imperial court would definitely use various words to refuse to send troops or food to the Marquis, on the other hand, the Marquis could use the imperial court's excuse of not sending troops or food to live in peace and contentment in the Northern Desert. , and, the most important thing is... "
"What is it?" Chi Hou asked anxiously.
"Do you think the current Saint is a fatuous and incompetent person?"
"Bold, the Holy One is unparalleled in wisdom, and has always made clear rewards and punishments. How can he be a fatuous and incompetent person!"
"Isn't that right? Mr. Hou has always been loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty, and now he suddenly does such a treacherous act. Do you really think that the current Holy Emperor can't figure out the meaning?"
"This... I understand. No wonder the Shadow Sect can become the number one sect in Daxia. I have indeed learned a lesson today. I would like to thank the Lord of the Wu Sect for his great kindness!" After Chi Hou said, he also went to the He bowed to Wu Yu'er, then turned around and left the Fang family courtyard, quickly walking towards the entrance of the village where the Red Guards were stationed.
Wu Yu'er slowly turned around and looked at Fang Zhengzheng, who was lying naked in the room, with a hint of sadness in her dark eyes.
She knew that Chi Hou had accepted her suggestion, and as the leader of the Shadow Sect, she did not actually need to participate in the military affairs of the Great Xia Dynasty.
However, she still participated...
The reason is that she knows that the next period of time will determine whether humans can continue to survive on this land.
"Shameless guy, I will help you prepare everything. You must wake up soon, I will wait for you!" After Wu Yu'er finished speaking, she walked into the house and slowly came to Fang Zhengzheng's bedside. He looked back, and then quickly pressed his red lips on Fang Zhengzheng's mouth.
Instantly separate.
However, there were already two blushes on Wu Yu'er's cheeks.
"Ahem... Yu'er, is Zheng'er still not awake?" Qin Xuelian's voice sounded faintly at the door of the house, not too loud, but very clear.
"Ah?! Ah... No, I'm not awake yet..."
“…”
…
A month passed quickly like a fleeting cloud.
A full two and a half months have passed since the battle at Tianchan Mountain. Beishan Village has once again returned to its former peace. The difference is that there is an elite Red Feather Guard stationed around Beishan Village. , as well as a large number of sergeants from the Five Prefectures of the Northern Desert hidden in the mountains and forests.
As for Fang Zhengzheng and Chi Guyan...
Still unconscious.
"It's been a month, it's been a whole month, shameless guy, why don't you wake up yet? Do you know that the world has completely changed in this month?" Wu Yu'er said almost every day this month She was really tired from being by Fang Zhengzheng's side all day long.
However, she didn't want to rest because she was afraid that Fang Zhengyi would wake up suddenly, and she was afraid that Fang Zhengyi would not be able to see her immediately after waking up.
But she was really tired, so tired that she couldn't open her eyes.
"Shameless guy... Integrity, Yu'er will wait for you. When you wake up, Yu'er has prepared everything for you, just waiting for you to wake up..."
“…”
The night gradually deepened, and the bright moonlight fell, shining in the small courtyard. Through the windows of the small courtyard, it shone on Wu Yu'er's back, covering Wu Yu'er's body with a light silver makeup.
Wu Yu'er's body was lying gently beside Fang Zhengzheng's bed, her eyes were closed, her breathing was a little heavy, and there were still tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.
At this moment, Fang Zhengzheng, who had been unconscious all this time, suddenly moved, and then his eyes suddenly opened.
