"Girl." Bai Hua looked at Ning Jiuwei, his eyes finally relieved of worry.
Ning Jiu nodded slightly and said, "Let's go, tell me something on the way."
"Girl, I don't need to say anything more, you follow me into the Dabie Mountains and you will understand everything." Bai Hua frowned and said.
The four people got off their horses and led their horses into a cave in the Dabie Mountains. The cave was one meter wide and pitch black, illuminated only by the occasional weak candlelight. The cave was very long.
"This is this?" Qi Lexuan looked around and asked curiously.
Bai Hua said: "Girl, my subordinate specifically checked the location of Liangcheng, and found that Liangcheng and Yingcheng are very close to each other. They are only separated by the Dabie Mountain. If there is this tunnel, it will take less than half an hour. Can reach the south gate of Ying City."
"So the purpose of Di Qingchen digging this tunnel is to reach Ying City." Ning Jiuwei's eyes were cold, and everything was explained clearly.
While talking, Ning Jiuwei suddenly remembered that Su Yu seemed to have less than a hundred soldiers with him, and General Chen Gu was not with him, so where did they go
"No, Bai Hua, if I guessed correctly, Chen Gu should have sent people to attack Ying City. Qin Lin is in danger." Ning Jiuwei suddenly changed his expression and said.
Hearing Ning Jiuwei's words, Bai Hua also changed his expression. If this is the case, then Yingcheng is really in danger, and the fourth master is even more dangerous. Di Qingchen has such a cruel mind.
"Let's go." Ning Jiuwei said, speeding up her pace. If there was light, she would definitely find fine beads of sweat on her forehead.
…..
At this time in Ying City, Qin Lin was bandaging wounds in the tent. Because of yesterday's raid, five thousand people robbed a hundred tons of food and grass, and the rest that could not be transported back was burned directly.
Three thousand of the five thousand people died in the sneak attack, and Qin Lin was also hit by an arrow in his left shoulder. But for Yingcheng, this was undoubtedly a victory, and they cheered endlessly.
Qin Lin's reputation in the army has also improved a lot. The soldiers now all obey Qin Lin's words. Shen Jiang was very pleased to see this scene.
"Report~"
Shen Jiang looked at the sentry kneeling on the ground, frowned, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Mei Yao...is attacking the city again." The sentry sighed and said with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
Qin Lin looked at Shen Jiang, then at the sentry, and said, "Bring the map here, let me take a look."
"What's the problem, Fourth Master?" Shen Jiang asked.
"Mei Yao comes three times a day, without interruption every day, and he doesn't really fight every time. Doesn't the general think there is something wrong?" Qin Lin asked with a frown.
Shen Jiang nodded and said, "So what does Fourth Master think Daliang has up to?"
"There must be a conspiracy, but we don't know what conspiracy it is yet. We must be on guard against it." Qin Lin said.
When Qu Liang heard the two men talking, he raised his hands and said, "Fourth Master, General, I would like to send you a tassel to meet the enemy."
"Qu Liang, you lead 50,000 people out of the city to meet the enemy, and outflank them from the east and west, and try to capture them in one fell swoop," Shen Jiang said.
"Yes." Qu Liang nodded and said.
Qin Lin looked down at the map, frowning, lost in thought, pointing on the map, wondering what he was thinking, and said nothing.
"General Shen, here." Qin Lin stretched out his slender index finger and tapped Liangcheng on the map.
Shen Jiang glanced at the location pointed by Qin Lin and said, "Although Liangcheng is very close to us, it is separated by the Dabie Mountains. It will take at least three days to cross the mountains, so Fourth Master does not need to worry."
"Yeah." Qin Lin nodded slightly.
Qin Lin, who was still a little worried at first, put down the map in his hand after hearing Shen Jiang's words, even though Shen Jiang had not been back for a long time.
But he was the general of Yingcheng back then, and no one was more familiar with the geographical location here than him, so there was no reason not to believe what he said.
"Go out of the city to meet the enemy." Qin Lin stood up and walked out of the hall.
Shen Jiang nodded and followed Qin Lin. The two of them went up the city tower one after another, while Qu Liang opened the city gate and led 50,000 troops out of the city to meet the enemy.
"Who is the general on the other side of Daliang?" Qin Lin stood on the city wall and asked with his eyebrows slightly moved.
Hearing Qin Lin's words, Shen Jiang felt a little confused. He looked up and saw that it was not Mei Yao who fought in the past, but a young man in silver armor, a handsome man in his twenties.
"It's not Mei Yao today? Who is this person?" Shen Jiang said, turning his head to look at the deputy general on the side.
The lieutenant general who was being stared at shook his head. He had never seen this general in all his years in Yingcheng. He was probably the first to fight in a war because he had just taken office. He was young.
"Let Qu Liang come back. Today I will personally go out of the city to meet the enemy." Qin Lin caught the actions of Shen Jiang and the two men in his eyes, turned around and walked under the city wall, his black cloak rustling in the cold wind.
Shen Jiang hurriedly followed him down the tower and said, "Fourth Master, you must not do it. Your injuries haven't healed yet, so you'd better let me go."
"No need, I want to compete with him personally." Qin Lin said with an expressionless face and a cold voice.
Seeing that Qin Lin was determined, Shen Jiang knew that it would be useless to talk more, so he asked, "Fourth Master, do you know this person?"
However, Qin Lin did not answer him. Instead, Mo Yu, who was following him, looked at Shen Jiang and said, "The newly appointed Emperor of Daliang, Di Qingchen."
Hearing Mo Yu's words, Shen Jiang was stunned. He didn't expect that the silver-robed general turned out to be Di Qingchen. He was indeed a young hero, but he had just become emperor, so why was he so eager to start the war.
But just because Di Qingchen came in person, it also showed one thing, that is, this war is different from the past, and if we don't prepare for it, we will definitely fail miserably.
Thinking of this, Shen Jiang's expression suddenly became solemn, and he turned around and strode up the city wall. No matter what, Qin Lin must not be allowed to have any accidents, and Ying City must not be lost.
Di Qingchen sat on the horse, facing the dazzling sunlight, and looked at Qin Lin, who was wearing black armor at the gate of Ying City, with a nice curve on his lips.
"Long time no see, you don't look too good." Di Qingchen stared at Qin Lin's left shoulder and couldn't help but sneered.
Qin Lin's eyes were indifferent, not affected by Di Qingchen's words at all, and his voice was as cold as ever: "Even if you are injured, I will still be able to deal with you, so there is no need to worry."
As soon as these words came out, Mo Yu, who was following Qin Lin, couldn't help but chuckle. His master's words were as cold and sharp as ever, and the knife pierced his heart.
Di Qingchen's expression changed slightly, and then he smiled warmly and said, "I hope your ability is worthy of your pride."
"As an emperor, are you as verbose as you?" Qin Lin raised his eyes slightly, his voice cold with a bit of disdain, and even a bit of malicious sarcasm.
"Do it." Di Qingchen's eyes flashed with gloom, and his voice penetrated the cold wind and reached the ears of every soldier.
The sound of clashing weapons, the roar of soldiers, and the red and black flags under the sun were constantly fluttering in the wind. What was flowing in the fierce cold wind was blood.
Qin Lin glanced around, his legs on the horse's back, the Qingshuang Sword was pulled out from his waist, passed over dozens of soldiers, and pointed the tip of the sword directly at Di Qingchen in the center.
Di Qingchen looked at the sword blade that was close at hand, turned his head to the right, blocked it directly with the sword hilt in his hand, and then pulled out the sword blade with his right hand at a tricky angle.
The battle was raging on the battlefield, and Qin Lin and Di Qingchen were equally fierce and indistinguishable. Two figures, one black and one white, were fighting in the snow.
Qin Lin pressed forward step by step, and the sword in his hand pressed against Di Qingchen's sword, creating a spark that disappeared in an instant, forcing Di Qingchen to take two steps back before he could stabilize himself.
Then Di Qingchen drew an arc with his right foot on the snow, unsheathed his long sword, and pointed it towards Qin Lin's heart. However, it was blocked by Qin Lin's scabbard and turned to the side, directly piercing his injured left shoulder.
Seeing this scene, Shen Jiang was anxious. He was about to leave the city to support one or two, when he was suddenly stopped by a sentry covered in blood. He shouted: "It's not good, general. I don't know where 70,000 troops came from. Nan The door is about to be lost.”
"What?" Shen Jiang was shocked, and without any time to think, he got on his horse and headed straight for the south gate.
