Chapter 72(1/2)

At the third update, Nam Feng, who was almost dozing off, was alarmed by an unusual sound.

"Who?" Nan Feng jumped up from the grass and shouted loudly.

Could it be the woman named Bai?

I opened the jungle and looked at the set trap. The set trap had been hung. It was obvious that someone had accidentally touched it, but it was not put into the rope. There was something bright in the dark. Nan Feng picked it up and saw that it was an exquisitely crafted embroidered shoe.

"Old Gao! Come and see!"

Nan Feng yelled, and Lao Gao immediately came out of the forest, "What's the matter? Is the mountain dog?"

"It's a woman, look at these shoes!"

On the side edge of the embroidered shoes, you can see several characters as thin as needle tips in the moonlight - the mansion of the Prince Consort.

"It's from the Prince's Mansion."

"It must be that woman named Bai!" Nan Feng was overjoyed, "Just just passed and almost fell into the trap. Grandma's, must be nearby!"

The person at the dark card was also alarmed by his yell, "Nan Feng, what's going on?"

"Boss, the woman named Bai is in the woods. This is her shoes."

The impatient fatigue of the past few days was stimulated by the embroidered shoes and disappeared. Everyone was excited, "Hehe, I still want to escape after entering this forest?"

Two hunting dogs, half a person tall, were immediately led over, lowered their heads and sniffed them on the embroidered shoes, and immediately barked wildly, almost breaking away from the leather chain on their necks.

The leader untie the hunting dog's leather chain and "Chasing!"

The hunting dog rushed into the forest frantically.

The night wind was soaring, and a group of men, like wild beasts, were picked up.

"Hey, brothers, come on!"

"No, it's time for the boss to go first!"

"Catch those two little girls!"

The sword was unsheathed, and the cold light shone. Several tall figures rushed into the forest, following the agile hunting dog.

"outflank!"

"Don't let them run away!"

Several men were sweating profusely and chased to the edge of the spring. Two hunting dogs that had been barking were plunged into the water and started drinking water in big gulps.

"Continue chasing! What water should I drink at this time?" The hunting dog was kicked and screamed, but he still refused to leave the water source.

No wonder they are. The medicinal powder on the embroidered shoes is specially made by Pingting. When the hunting dogs sniff, they feel like they are poisoned by fire. They are thirsty and uncomfortable, and they are crazy looking for the nearest water source.

Everyone chased to the stream and saw two hunting dogs who were drinking water desperately. They were surprised, "Where is the person? Why don't you chase him?" I don't know who happened to step on the stones that Pingting set up the mechanism.

Before he finished speaking, a round of arrows broke through the air.

"Ah!" Lao Qi was shot in an arrow on his shoulder and screamed.

"Sneaking! Grandma, there are bows and arrows on your hands!" Everyone cursed angrily, lowered their heads to look for cover. Just as they were shocked, they hid their good body, and the arrows stopped.

He stretched out his head and another sound of breaking through the air came.

"careful!"

In the darkness, they didn't know how many arrows were flying. They wanted to catch two women, and they had swords enough. They didn't carry bows and arrows around them. They were attacked from a long distance and were so angry that they cursed.

"The little bitch is shooting arrows again!"

"Catch her and ask her to live and die!"

This time the arrows were shot not far away, and they fell one after another before they reached the stream. The boss was experienced and said in a deep voice: "They are shooting and retreating, chasing!"

A group of subordinates crossed the stream with sharp blades, splashing countless water. As soon as they passed the stream, the third round of arrows arrived again, and it was even further away.

"Chasing!"

"Grandma, she's running so fast!"

Everyone was in a forbidden manner, holding weapons and covering the arrows. The pursued women fled farther and farther, the arrows shot were too accurate. Except for the first time, Lao Qi was caught with an arrow without any defense, no one was injured, but it seemed to point out the direction of their escape. The angry man was angry, thinking about how to revenge on these two bold women, and the more they chased them, the tighter they were.

The night is vast, and the strange rocks in the forest are rugged, casting huge shadows.

After the seventh round of arrows flew, there was no movement again.

Nan Feng smiled and said, "Hehe, they have no arrows. Brothers, come on!"

Everyone was relieved and excited. They had been guarding here for a few days and were already familiar with the terrain. There was a dead end in front of them. Where can the two women escape? The encirclement gradually narrowed. However, a strange expression appeared on Nan Feng's face, which had been smiling lewdly. "My feet..." The pain of the heart scratching was straight up along his thighs. The iron sword fell on the stone with a clang. Nan Feng twisted his face and hugged his feet, "It was so itchy, so itchy, ahhh!" He reached into his boots and scratched it, and it hurt like a layer of skin was peeled off, and he screamed.

The boss roared, "Nan Feng, what are you playing with at this moment? Huh..." He also noticed the strange feeling on his feet. The slight pain and itch instantly turned into undepressing pain.

A group of people around him also fell to the ground, screaming and holding their feet.

"Ouch...ah! That bitch... hurts! The bitch poisons!" Several men roared like wild animals, while twisting their hideous faces intermittently.

The old man trembled with itchiness, scratched the itchy area, but shivered in pain, and gritted his teeth and said, "Who is guarding the level now?"

"All...all brothers came to encircle... Who... Who... Damn it, it's so itchy... Who will still be guarding the level!" Lao Qi was most unlucky. He suffered a minor injury on his shoulder and was poisoned again. He couldn't bear the itch. He scratched bloody marks on his feet with his nails, which was so painful.

"Oh no, I've been trapped!"

It was about to be bright, and the gray sky gradually raised its eyebrows as if it was ridiculing.

No wonder the Prime Minister repeatedly ordered that he should not underestimate the woman named Bai.

hateful!

On the road to the border between Yunchang City, the gorgeous carriage was surrounded by guards. The messengers who reported the news frequently came and reported the news to the people in the carriage.

Both things are bad news.

The news from Prime Minister Gui Changqing's office was endless, one after another. First, Bai Pingting disappeared in the capital, and then the people who were sent to guard the mountain road were defeated and returned. He also suffered a strange disease. Gui Changqing used almost all the secret power in his hands to set up various traps on the road leading to the capital to the northern desert, but was broken one by one without ever confronting his opponent head-on.

Bai Pingting and her maid Zuiju were only passing the test, not killing the generals, as if the dragon had seen its head but not its tail. It was not until a recent letter that someone finally found the traces of these two people at a checkpoint. They were already quick to capture it. I don’t know what medicine they used, but they were so fascinated that they were so weak that they had to watch them go away.

"What a Bai Pingting." Princess Yaotian read Gui Changqing's letter, approached Huozhu, looked at the letter slowly burned to ashes, and asked in a low voice, "Have those people ever exposed their identities?"

"Report to the princess, everyone has been severely warned by the Prime Minister, and only pretended to be a bandit, and never leaked a word in front of Bai Pingting." The messenger knelt in front of Princess Yaotian, "She should not know that she is our person."

"It's hard to say." Princess Yaotian sighed faintly, "But even if she knows, what can she do? She is unharmed and has no real evidence. Even if she says it, she cannot win the trust of others. Forget it, go back and tell the Prime Minister, don't waste your time with Bai Pingting. We have failed repeatedly, but God does not agree with this approach. Since people are gone, why bother to force each other?"

The envoy responded respectfully: "After the princess's orders, my subordinates have recorded all the instructions. When I go back, I will tell the Prime Minister without missing a word."

"Get out."

Seeing the messenger disappear outside the curtain, Princess Yaotian's sorrowful sigh sounded in the spacious carriage. Various dazzling decorations hung in the carriage according to her favorite appearance, making the space look like a fairyland like a dream. Princess Yaotian had no interest in viewing at this moment.

Another bad news about something was waiting for her.

After receiving Bai Pingting's letter, she entrusted all the matters in the capital to Gui Changqing, and immediately ordered that the regent princess' cumbersome etiquette should be ignored and set off to the border as soon as possible. Compared with her desire to end the battle that was in vain to save innocent lives, the fighting between Chu Beijie and He Xia seemed even more anxious.

Princess Yaotian is still on the road, and the two armies have had two tentative confrontations.

The first battle took the Zongyang Plain as the battlefield. Chu Beijie forced He Xia to retreat twenty miles, and Yunchang's army suffered thousands of casualties.

The second contest was still in the Zongyang Plain, but the center moved to the east. He Xia deserved to be a famous general. Knowing that Chu Beijie was eager to attack, he refused to confront the main force of the Donglin Army head-on, and instead dealt with his right-wing single army, luring Donglin general Jiao Bang deep into the Zongyin Forest. If Chu Beijie had not seen through it early and the flying cavalry informed Jiao Bang to retreat, Donglin's right-wing single army would have been wiped out. This fire had already made Chu Beijie vigilant, and the Donglin army would no longer advance.

Princess Yaotian went on a long journey day and night to stop the war, but she received reports of casualties along the way. Not only did the troops lose their strength, but the Yin Forest, which was rich in ginseng, and the nearby people also suffered heavy losses due to the war, and the people urgently needed comfort.

Yun Chang could no longer have unnecessary sacrifices, she had to arrive as soon as possible. Chu Beijie was stationed at the foot of Bianfeng Mountain, and his son-in-law He Xia stationed his troops at Jiubokou. Once the formal war begins, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The news sent by He Xia and the generals were all at hand.

He Xia was light in the battle situation, his handwriting was upright and vigorous, full of confidence, and most of the military newspapers with more than a hundred words were greetings to him. However, the generals were more attentive to the war and vividly described the tragic story on the battlefield.

"The main troops of Chubeijie were all elite, well-trained, and coming and going like the wind. In the battle of the Zongyang Plain, the essence of Donglin's training can be seen.

"The sword light soared into the sky, and the corpses attracted countless vultures. My Yun Chang Xiaoqiu cavalry's third guard faced Chu Beijie head-on, and almost none of them survived.

"The power of Chu Beijie is unstoppable. Except for the prince-consort, no general can face him for ten rounds. The prince-consort is actually the bravest general of my Yun Chang.

"The prince-consort's plan is very appropriate. First cover the forest with oil, and then lure the right-wing single army of Donglin.

"The fires surged into the sky and did not disperse for two days and two nights. The shade forest stretched for thirty miles, and now it was all turned into ashes.

"If there is no son-in-law, there is no hope for this battle.

"I have been leading the army for many years, but I have never seen such a strong army and such a strong fighting spirit. The war is coming, and although the prince-consort is capable, I am still afraid that both sides will be injured. I beg the princess to issue a king's order and order the prince-consort not to respond urgently.

"Yun Chang got such a brave general in his son-in-law, and God blessed me. If the Donglin army is defeated this time, I will be the leader of the four countries forever.

"If there is a victory in Chubei in Donglin for one day, I will never start the battle lightly. I will report to the emperor to the death and pray to the princess to think twice."

Each individual memorial was filled with hundreds of words. No matter what opinion it was, the passion of the Yunchang soldiers was boiling.

Princess Yaotian carefully looked at the entire stack of reports sent from the front line, rubbed her temples and lifted the curtain on the side window.

Yun Chang was very quiet under the night sky. The shadow of the battle would come out from the ground at any time and crawl into the deep and deep place.

"Send the order and get a little faster. Rong'an, how far is we from the camp?"

Rong An, the captain of the guard who was in charge of personal guards, rode his horse to the carriage and replied: "Report to the princess, after passing the mountain ahead, it is Jiubokou. You will definitely arrive before noon tomorrow."

"Does the people in the camp... know I'm on the way?"

"According to the strict order of the princess, messengers are not allowed to disclose the princess whereabouts. The camp does not know that the princess is about to arrive." Rong An whispered, "However, it would be bad if she was regarded as an enemy. I requested that the princess's flag be high on the carriage tomorrow morning to indicate her identity, so as not to misunderstand."
To be continued...
