There was a river bank, and the river was rolling down, and the yellow sand rushing down from the upstream was making the river muddy. Yu Tianqi's vanguard troops were resting right there, waiting for the explosion at Ling Xiu's ambush point to finish. Then, they would attack with all their might, charge past Ling Xiu and straight towards Tai Zhou City, while Yu Tianqi's real army would go through the unsuspecting official road, and pounce towards Tai Zhou.
After Ling Xiu's explosives exploded, the Azure Bird King's flag rose up one by one. From the river of drums that had just departed, a group of black and dense fish backs suddenly appeared — —
"What is that?" Look! " Someone noticed the unusual movement in the river and cried out in alarm.
At that moment, the back of the fish in the river suddenly bounced up, and the river water splintered into pieces.
The people on the shore were shocked. Heavens, how was this a fish back?
It was clearly a group of men wearing fishskin clothes!
Like a dragon fish, they shot out of the water and fired a specially made crossbow at the people on the shore. No matter what they shot at, a dense cloud of green smoke exploded out.
Yulixiao had always loved using the sword as an edge and as a dangerous move.
He had a spy beside him, but he had never been able to find out who it was. Thus, he decided to lock in the information and only sent one person to do it in secret. He wanted to use this opportunity to make that spy reveal his true appearance.
Indeed, once the news of Lingxiu's ambush was spread out, only a few people knew about it. It would be much easier to investigate it thoroughly, and it wouldn't cause anyone to panic just by checking it out.
It was only because of the special medicine that Hao Hai gave him that he was able to resist the cold in the water. With the heavy rain and the bamboo pipe piercing through the water to breathe, it was impossible to tell if it was some random tree floating on the shore or something else.
This group of sailors had trained with great effort. They were as brave and ferocious as a dragon fish in the water. One of them borrowed the strength from the other to forcefully attack the shore.
The people on the shore were caught off guard and fell to the ground due to the fog. They had no strength to fight back and weakly fell to the ground.
The three thousand members of the vanguard camp were Yu Tianqi's elites, but after an hour or so, they fell to the ground in a mess. Some of them struggled to take out special bamboo tubes to release smoke and report to Yu Tianqi. But when the gunpowder shot out, it was eaten away by the rain and the mist, becoming hoarse.
"Send the signal." With a wave of his hand, the guard beside him immediately raised his crossbow, loaded a small arrow with the shape of a red arrow, and shot it into the sky.
The arrow exploded in mid-air, and a dazzling red light flashed.
"King Xiao, look, Yu Tianqi's vanguard camp is gone!"
The guard beside Yulixiao pointed to the sky and shouted in surprise.
Yu Li Rui only brought a hundred people with her to fight against Yu Tian Qi's thousand Death Soldiers. The battle was a scheme. There are many ways to fight, and there are none who are unscrupulous. In a battle between two armies, apart from bravery, one had to have intelligence. Who would be so stupid as to take a life with a knife? "How much strength can they have, and how many people can they cut down?
That day, there were a total of seven people who knew about the ambush. They knew who leaked the news, so they would know when they returned.
Also, there was Yun Qin. When fighting with him, he had his suspicions, but felt that with Yun Qin's character, he was definitely not ordered by anyone, and had probably become a chess piece, to be used by others. Therefore, he got his men to bring Yun Qin back to Chi Cheng to stop the Yun Family army from advancing forward. He brought Yu Yan over and put her under his nose to prevent Mo Wenli from seizing another opportunity to bring her away.
He put away his saber and coldly looked at the deathsworn. He said indifferently, "No one will save you. If you want to die here, do what you want. I won't accompany you. Retreat."
He rode back.
All the guards immediately retreated, they all mounted on their horses and chased after Yulixiao.
The people on the other side started to panic. The green light that they had arranged was the signal. Why had it turned red now? The appointed hour had come, but they did not see a single blue bird flag!
Some of them put down their sabers and looked in the direction where the red light flashed. Some of them wanted to pounce, but some of them started to retreat.
Yulixiao tilted his face slightly. Seeing a few more people among the guards, he asked unhappily, "Why are you here? Where's Xu Haifeng? "
"The Royal Concubine told me to wait here and help the Prince. Xu Haifeng will stay in the tavern to protect the Royal Concubine."
"Nonsense." Yulixiao frowned, and said indifferently. However, he was not angry. Instead, he felt somewhat happy. If she went back now, would she be standing by the door waiting, or would she be joking with Jin Cheng? He left her there without explaining the real reason. Was he afraid that she would be angry again? He was also a stingy little bun. As long as he didn't fulfill her wish, she would always be unwilling to come. Staring at him with a worried expression on her face would make him feel happy.
Only Yu Yan would dare to mess around like this in front of him. She was a woman who did not love him because he was a prince.
She touched her bosom and found that the red rope was still there. At night, she would use this to tie up her feet … Let's see how she's going to mess around!
He galloped off at top speed.
After shattering Yu Tianqi's Tai Zhou Dream, was firmly stuck in the southern corner. The Yun Family Army could not enter, and he was helpless and helpless.
"How can I possibly find the antidote?" Chen Yao muttered as she stared at Yu Yan's face.
They were both women, both of them in love with the same man, and both of them had their own personalities. They could not tolerate the other party trying to snatch the person they were most interested in, and at this moment, the two of them no longer wanted to hide their true emotions.
Chen Yao didn't move her body but lowered her head instead. She blew gently into Qingyan and said softly: "My dress has been damaged again … Am I incompatible with the skirt? One is broken every day, it's so worrisome. "
Chen Yao then sat down and looked at her for a while, she took down a small mirror from his waist and handed it to her, and said indifferently: "Take a look."
Yu Yan took it and slowly lowered her head.
The girl in the mirror was like a dark Rakshasi. The right side of her face was covered with red patches. Her hand slightly trembled as she stared at it for a long time.
Chen Yao turned her head and used a wooden ladle to stir the small pot of boiling medicine, and said softly:
"This poison is hard to cure, unless you want him dead. Do you know why I said there was no solution? The Forgotten Butterfly poison was made from the blood of the Forgotten Butterfly Stone, which had been collected into the water of the collarbone. So, in order to remove the Forgotten Butterfly, one must have the heart's blood of a true lover, the flesh of a true lover's heart, and the tears of a true lover's heart. "
As she spoke, the wooden spoon in her hand stopped. The hand holding the wooden spoon became tighter and tighter. She gave it a sharp look before she continued to speak hatefully:
"Yu Yan, if you want to live, he will have to use his own life in exchange for yours. Not to mention that he wouldn't be willing, I wouldn't be willing either. I only ask you now, do you have the heart to watch him die? He had suffered so much, she had suffered so much, he was about to become the world's leader, he was about to realize her dream! I can die for him, I'd rather die by myself, I can do anything for him … Even if you want my life in exchange for yours, as long as he's happy, I'm willing to … What about you? Do you really have him in your heart? "
Yu Yan did not make a sound, and only stared into the mirror.
She was half believing and half doubting Chen Yao's words. How could there be such a vicious medicine? She wanted his lover to die! She didn't want Yulixiao to die, and she also didn't want to die …
There must be a way! Mo Wenli might have known, but he should have asked others instead. She did not believe that his life was so miserable, and that the Heavens hated her so much that they made her feel lonely.
The dark sky seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.
Yu Yan hid her clothes tightly, preventing the wind from blowing through her neck, and turned to look outside.
Did he come back victorious? That's great, it must be something powerful!
Just as her lips raised into a smile, Chen Yao had already ran out quickly.
It had been a while since Chen Yao called him big brother Ning Xi. This was a reminder to her that she was only a passerby, and that after she died, Yulixiao would still be her big brother Ning Xi.
She picked up the half-mask, slowly stood up, and quickly put it on her face. The sound of the horse's hooves had already stopped outside the temple.
Turning around to look, he was wearing a light golden armor and a raincoat. He was standing at the entrance of the small temple.
Chen Yao tiptoed and helped him wipe the rain on her forehead. She asked with concern: "Is King Xiao injured?"
Yulixiao shook his head and turned to look at Yu Yan. She stood by the bonfire, his clothes already soaked in blood, his hair in a mess, one hand covering his face. A panic-stricken light quickly swam through his eyes.
Yulixiao's pupils darkened and his expression immediately changed.
Yu Yan powerlessly closed her eyes. She really was ugly, he really was detestable.
The sound of footsteps arrived in front of him, and with his long fingers supporting her lower jaw, her dark eyes stared fixedly at her right cheek. Yu Yan wanted to struggle free from his grasp, but she was suddenly hugged tightly by him, and her kiss landed on her right eye, and gently slid onto her cheek.
Yu Yan was actually extremely afraid. Really, she was afraid of death, very afraid, very afraid … She was afraid of death, she was afraid of pain, she was afraid of death, she was afraid of being looked at with strange eyes, she trembled with fear, her fingers pressed against his wet, cold armor, she looked up into his eyes, her lips trembling, she asked urgently:
"Yulixiao, am I your pet? "Isn't it?"
Yulixiao gently nodded as his hand stroked her cheek and he said in a hoarse voice: "It will be alright, my Yan'er. Even if I am to be covered by this red spot from now on, you will still be the best pet in my heart."
Yu Yan made a sound of acknowledgement before crying.
In this world, she had no one to rely on, no place to go. The wind and waves were strong, the sea was swaying, fish were free, but when it came to fish that had no one to rely on, she was pitiful. She had no home, no relatives.
"I'm afraid." She snuggled into Yulixiao's embrace, her hands constantly wiping away her tears, "I'm afraid of death, I don't want to die."
"He won't die, don't cry, he's going back."
"But, it's so ugly. If it was grown all over my face, wouldn't my head turn into a sweet potato? Do you want a princess who looks like a sweet potato? Your subjects will laugh at you, and your beauties will laugh at me … "
"I like sweet potatoes. We'll have sweet potatoes tonight." He bent down, picked her up, and strode out.
