Chapter 155

All the way forward, they saw a raging fire, but in the camp outside the city gate, although they were full of discarded pots, bowls and gourds, and although the ground was in a mess, clearly visible horse hoof prints and human footprints crisscrossed, but there was no shadow of half a person.

"It's strange that there's no one here after only a moment!"

Yun Ling looked around and saw no trace. He was a little discouraged and rode back.

"Come here." Yun Xueyao didn't answer. This time, people withdrew cleanly. I think they have already understood the opportunity. However, the Wuling king has surrounded the city for many days. He will never retreat so easily because of some changes. Something must have happened. Thinking about this, a person's face suddenly jumped into his mind.

The spy immediately heard the voice and stood out: "what is your royal highness command?"

"Is Cheng Yuan in the Wuling army?" Yun Xueyao looked at him and asked.

The probe seemed to have no response at all, and was slightly stunned. Then he said, "return to your royal highness. Yesterday, your subordinates did find traces of the prince. However, they did not know whether he had gone to the camp of Wuling, and the spy was still probing."

He hasn't finished yet. Yun Xueyao stretched out his hand to stop his words: "well, the Wuling army's decision to retreat is obviously that we had expected that we would pour out at the moment, so we left in a hurry regardless of the camp fire."

As soon as his voice fell, he heard the sound of the horse's hooves coming back from the spy. Seeing the people in front of him, he quickly turned over and dismounted and greeted them: "princess, the army of the cloud country has withdrawn from the city and camped thirty miles away."

Yun Xueyao nodded, and Yun Ling on one side ruthlessly usurped the usurper's heart. He looked at Yun Xueyao and sighed: "it seems that you expected it well. Cheng Yuan has already understood the opportunity and is really powerful."

Yun Xueyao didn't speak. At the moment, he was only thinking repeatedly. Now, around Chongzhou City, it has been surrounded by the army of Wuling king. Where did the arsonist come from?

"Have you ever inquired about the fire in this camp?"

The spy twisted his eyebrows and thought for a moment before reporting: "Princess Hui, my subordinates found a rocket with tung oil on the burning grain and grass. It seems that someone sneaked into the camp and set fire to the grain and grass." when the spy said that, he took out a fire arrow from his sleeve and put his hands on it.

Yun Xueyao took it in her hand and looked at it carefully with a low eyebrow. Sure enough, she found a small word "Xiang" in the humble place of the arrow. She suddenly felt a sudden. It was him.

"Since those people shot arrows to set these grain and grass on fire, it means that the archer hid nearby, but all around has been surrounded by the Wuling King's legion. Where did these people come from?"

"Well... In fact, my subordinates don't understand. Can those people fall from the sky?" the spy tightened his eyebrows when he heard the speech.

When they said this, they all paused briefly. Suddenly, the spy seemed to think of something and said, "although we Chongzhou city are surrounded by Wuling army, there is a cliff on the other side of the back mountain, which is unguarded. If there are people with excellent martial arts, it is not impossible to climb from there."

As soon as he said this, the people were in high spirits. Yun Xueyao also raised her eyes and looked at the direction of the cliff. Without saying a word, she took the lead in walking towards which side.

Sure enough, when I saw the traces of rope rope under the cliff, I was sure. It seems that as the spy said, those people really climbed the cliff from here.

"Chen Yun Jing saw her royal highness." Yun Xue Yao was looking at the footprints in front of him, and suddenly heard a very familiar voice behind him.

Looking back, the Cloud View and several accompanying bodyguards were not far behind in black.

With her eyes facing each other, Yun Xueyao was immediately happy. She hurried forward in person, helped him up from the ground and looked up and down at the clouds in front of her: "how are you here? You really climbed up from here. You set fire to the food and grass of the king of Wuling?"

At first sight of the old servant, Yun Xueyao seemed to be excited for a moment, and even asked a series of questions incoherently.

The other party got up and nodded: "go back to the princess. It's really our subordinates who climb the rock. It's really us who burn the grain and grass of the army, but such a clever plan is directed by your highness Xiangwang."

"Was it his idea?"

"Yes, my subordinates planned to sneak into the city and meet the princess after burning food and grass. King Xiang reminded the Cheng army that since we were surrounded by Chongzhou City, we couldn't sneak into the city at all. Instead of taking risks, we might as well wait for the princess at the edge of the cliff. We were worried that the prince of Cheng would come here first. Wouldn't we have nowhere to hide then , King Xiang was sure that the princess would arrive first. "At this point, the other party was full of admiration and difficult to implement." it seems that your highness is right. The princess really came first. "

It turned out that everything was Xiang Wang's idea,

He is so good at planning people's hearts. He has already calculated exactly. In order to save the siege of the cloud country, the cloud scene has always been loyal. This time, even if he tries his best, he will definitely climb the cliff and win this rare opportunity.

After they burned the food and grass of the Wuling king, he also expected that Cheng Yuan would not dare to stay for a long time. He would seize the time and withdraw empress Cang, thus saving the lives of many guards of the cloud state.

Moreover, he also expected that after he learned that the other party's food and grass were burned, he would lead the crowd out. When he came here, he would certainly jump into the air. Then he would go to the cliff and successfully meet these bodyguards, so as to know all this.

Thinking about this, the corners of her mouth could not help but tilt slightly. The cloud plume on one side sighed: "the king of Xiang really planned strategies and won thousands of miles."

"But I don't know one thing. Where did all your fire bombs come from?" Yun Xueyao looked at the battlefield filled with gunsmoke and suddenly remembered that their spies responded to the first few fire bombs, but they didn't know where they came from.

……

"Damn it, I've led the army for so many years and haven't suffered such a great loss." the king of Wuling paced back and forth in the camp. As long as he remembered that he was forced to retreat by the falling army of the cloud kingdom a few days ago, so that he lost his helmet. So far, the king of Wuling felt that he was holding a bad breath in his chest and couldn't get smooth.

He sighed deeply and knelt down heavily in front of Cheng Yuan: "this time is all because of the old minister's momentary negligence, which has implicated his Highness the prince. I hope his highness will forgive me."

At the moment, Cheng Yuan's mind has been thinking about who these people are struggling to climb the rock? Although I speculated that they were the feudal army who came to support. But after all, I didn't go to find out the true face of these people. I always felt a little uneasy in my heart.

After all, this heavy state guard general Yun Ling is not an ordinary person.

This time, it seems that he had already contacted the people who granted the country. What worried him most was the bullets from unknown sources.

These things are very powerful. If you don't withdraw quickly, I'm afraid the other party will use these things to greet the Wuling army. At that time, I'm afraid it won't be possible to retreat thirty miles away. If you don't do it well, you will be defeated.

And since the Xiang king has planned everything, he has already shown that he has participated in it, but why is it that the army has withdrawn thirty miles away and there is no sign of him at this moment.

"My uncle doesn't have to blame himself. Yun Ling is not an ordinary person. Besides, he planned with King Xiang first. At the moment, instead of blaming himself, we might as well calm down and know everything properly in case of need."

"Your Highness reminds me that the old minister is confused." hearing this, the Wuling king, with a loud voice, quickly reached out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead and nodded again and again.

Wuling Shizi standing aside quickly ordered people to strengthen the layout of each pass.

The people were relieved when they heard another noisy sound of footsteps outside. They looked at each other. They were surprised. Before they opened their mouth, they saw a guard stumble in: "Your Royal Highness, report to the prince, the kingdom is sealed, and the army of the kingdom is attacking..."
