Chapter 194 - Promises Like Gods
The deputy general of the northern border rode his horse and dashed towards Guo Que. As their weapons clashed, their swords flashed and their blades clashed.
Guo Que purposefully dragged things out for a bit, so he kept wasting time with the enemy. The enemy was ferocious, and each stroke of his saber was crisp and efficient as he used 100% of his strength.
Ye Han stood on top of the city gate tower and watched the battle.
Even after dozens of rounds, there was still no victory or defeat. Mu De sat on the horse's back, feeling his hair stand on end. He spat and told his trusted aides to come back.
Just as the man was about to turn his horse, Guo Que's halberd reached towards his waist and forcefully lifted him off the horse. There was a dull thud as the man made a large hole in the snow.
Guo Que rode his horse back to the city. He raised his hand in exasperation and ordered, "Attack the city!"
"Yes." The subordinate replied. At this time, a dozen soldiers pushed their carriages against the door, and some of them carried ladders as they prepared to climb up the stairs.
Guo Que was flabbergasted. "He must have been forced into a corner."
"Get ready." Ye Han's thin lips slightly opened, but there wasn't any emotion in his eyes.
The soldiers on top of the city gate tower threw rocks down, smashing down many of the enemy troops, they could only hear screams.
After that, the archers were ready as well. With Ye Han's order, the rockets rain down like rain, flying towards the enemies' location.
Muad held his knife in front of the rocket and let the men continue to smash the gate. All the way until the soldiers at the gates fell to the ground.
The situation was in a deadlock for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, not long after, a group of people were seen rushing to the city gate with food on their horses, and the one seated in front was Heavenly Dragon Country Vice General Li Weide.
Li Weide saw that Mu De was still clamoring at the door, and laughed: "Grandson, you're still in the mood to make trouble here huh."
The city gate slowly opened, Li Weide let the group of people return back to the city.
When Mu De saw the bags of food behind him, his expression turned ugly. "What do you mean by that?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I guess you're about to run out of rations. If you really can't do it obediently, return the city to us. After kowtowing ten times, I'll consider giving you some alms." Li Weide's words could not hide the happiness in his voice.
Mu De snorted lightly. "This father's grain is on the road. There's no rush. At most, I'll just slowly waste time with you. Let's see who wins and loses in the end."
Li Weide sneered, seeing that the child thought about it so beautifully, he could not help but tell him: "I'm afraid that you will only be able to drink the northwest wind when you go back."
"What do you mean?" Mu De realized that something was not right, and saw Li Weide's crafty smile, "You …"
"What 'I'? I'll know when I go back! Hahaha!" Li Weide patted his horse's butt and entered the city on his horse, then roared out, "Close the city gates — —"
"Not good, we've fallen into a trap. Retreat!" Seeing that Ye Han was also not seen on the city gate tower, he immediately understood why the other party had not stepped forward nor retreat, it was to delay the time.
Mu De led ten thousand men back to the camp.
Li Weide entered the city and laughed: "Your highness really has foresight, I intercepted the people from the northern border who delivered the food, and directly caught them off guard. If we go back to find out, we will probably vomit blood!"
Hearing this, Guo Que also could not help but laugh out loud, the respect he had for Ye Han in his heart increased a little.
"Mm, we'll wait two more days for them to starve to death, then we'll take the initiative and take them down." Ye Han said softly, thinking that once the battle here ended, he would be able to reunite with Yun Qin, and his mood couldn't help but become better.
Ye Han told Li Weide to inform the other generals, and they all gathered together to discuss the next attack. When they arrived, Ye Han sat on the chair and drank a mouthful of tea, and when everyone was gathered, he stood up and pointed at a few points on the map: "Dragon Coiling Mountain, Tiger's Feet, these two places need to send people to ambush. Here and here, Lieutenant General Li will lead a group of people to surround them, while Vice General Guo and I will face off the enemies together. The places marked out by the circles were all places that were easy to conceal. Do you all understand what This King has said? "
"Mu De is arrogant and impulsive. If he is provoked, he will definitely chase after us. Then, we will lure him to this place, where the tiger will occupy, and ambush him on the mountain with his archers." Ye Han continued.
Li Weide, Guo Que and the rest looked like they were under's command.
After Yun Qin disguised herself, she sat on the carriage and started her journey back to the Rosa. Along the way, she was bored to death, so she would glance outside the curtain every now and then. She could not help but think back to when Ye Han accompanied her back to her mother's house.
Although the Rosa was small, there were still many fun things about it. Yun Qin had always been reluctant to part with it, and adding that her mother was especially good to her, she even had the thought of not leaving. It was unknown why she suddenly agreed to follow Ye Han back then.
"What's wrong? You don't want to go anymore? " Ye Han's appearance was extremely warm and gentle.
"Yeah, why don't you go back by yourself?" Yun Qin blinked as she toyed with him, but he had one hand in her embrace as she guaranteed, "No, go back with this king. This king will accompany you back to your mother's home every three years."
One had to know that the water that the ancient married daughter poured out, not to mention that she was marrying a foreign country, how could she possibly go back? But he promised to take her back every three years, and in the end, hmph, it was just a big pig's hoof lying to a ghost.
She had been deceived by his gentleness at that moment!
Yun Qin rested her chin on her hand, feeling bored.
Jun Yi sent two of his subordinates to escort her. One of them rode on the carriage, while the other sat face to face with her.
The subordinate nodded slightly.
Yun Qin suddenly felt bored. Seeing that she had such little words to say, she said: "Are there any people that your shameless gang can't deal with?"
The subordinate shook her head.
The corner of Yun Qin's mouth twitched: "You don't seem to like to speak?"
At this time, the people outside the carriage could not listen any longer, and spoke out: "Princess, don't waste time talking to that idiot, and chat with this little one.
Yun Qin felt that she had regained her hope and asked again, "What's your name?"
"This one is called Xiao Dao, the one who doesn't like to talk is my brother, called Wood." The person outside the carriage said.
Yun Qin nodded her head, and then heard from Xiao Dao: "Princess, there is an inn in front that is rushing towards it, it will get dark soon, we might as well stay there for the night, the Lotus Leaf Chicken tastes the best!"
"That last sentence revealed my true nature." Yun Qin laughed, "Then let's stop at the front."
"Alright!"
The carriage jolted all the way to the entrance of the Floating Cloud Inn. Yun Qin followed suit and got off the carriage, stretching her back, only to see the sun still setting. The shop was at the foot of the mountain, but there were still quite a number of people resting inside, as soon as the carriage stopped, someone ran out to lead the horses.
