Chapter 758: Triumphant Return with Destroyed Corpse and Destroyed Traces (8)
Chapter 758 Returning triumphantly, destroying corpses and destroying traces (8)
His face was covered by the helmet, only revealing a pair of violent eyes. Huangfuyan was surprised that she could still see so clearly from such a distance, and vaguely... there was a trace of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
She clenched her fists, her nails dug deep into the flesh.
She, Huangfuyan, will definitely remember these eyes for the rest of her life!
Princess Qu Bijian stared at the chaotic battlefield, and it was not difficult to see her anger and unwillingness. She obviously calculated everything seamlessly, lured Xuanyin into the city, and caught the turtle in the urn. She didn't need to abolish a single soldier of her own, and only Su Mu's Yunzhou army could completely annihilate the Xuanjia army. However, no one expected that Xuanyin saw through their plot so quickly, killed Su Mu's lieutenant general, and even pretended to attack the North Gate, attracting Su Mo's army. Xuan Yin himself brought a group...a group of lunatics, and killed them without fear of death!
Obviously there were only two thousand troops, but they exhausted their 10,000 troops.
"They are all lunatics, not human, absolutely not!" Qu Bi said tremblingly, "Princess, let's go! Su Mu's army is not here... Xuan Yin will soon attack the South Gate, and by then, he will not be able to leave even if he wants to." Already!"
Huangfuyan stared at Xuanyin with burning eyes, as if staring at a heinous enemy.
"Princess! It's too late! Let's go! Keep the green hills here, no fear of running out of firewood! Go!" Qu Bi grabbed Huangfuyan's wrist and dragged her away from the tower.
Unexpectedly, just as he took a step, a lightning-fast arrow pierced through his shoulder, and the huge impact nailed him to the city wall!
Huangfuyan was startled, looked down, and saw Xuanyin sitting on a steed, covered in blood, like a hellish Shura, aimed at her, and drew the bow and arrow of death.
Phew!
She shot the arrow in her hand first!
She has always been careful with her archery skills, even the commander-in-chief may not be able to avoid it.
However, what surprised her was that Xuanyin didn't even dodge, and just let the arrows nail into his armor.
Then-
He pulled out the arrow and threw it coldly on the ground!
Huangfuyan was startled, she clearly pierced through his armor, why didn't she hurt him? Could it be that he has cultivated the indestructible body of a diamond?
Of course she didn't expect that Xuanyin was wearing silk soft armor, making her invulnerable.
Soon, it was Xuanyin's turn to shoot arrows.
The moment the arrow left the string, the whole world seemed to be pierced through the sky. The arrow pierced through the city wall protecting Huangfuyan, and also pierced her shoulders. The city wall was shattered into flying ash. Huangfuyan froze and fell into the moat from a height of tens of meters.
Xuan Yin tightened the bow and arrow in his hand, he originally aimed at her heart, but—
His hand trembled.
…
The news of the victory quickly spread to the Xuan family's camp in the capital, and everyone felt sincerely surprised. Although Xuan Yin successfully rescued Xuan Bin from the enemy camp of 30,000 people, as Xuan Zhao said, it was With cleverness and courage, the aides and generals who believed that Xuanyin would win have followed Xuanyin. Now those who stay in the capital camp are those who think Xuanzhao is more suitable, and they are not optimistic about Xuanyin's this time. expedition. Therefore, when they heard that Xuanyin successfully wiped out 10,000 enemy troops with 2,000 men, they were all dumbfounded.
Of course, they were not the only ones dumbfounded, but also the one in the Golden Throne Hall.
The emperor once discussed Xuanyin's chances of winning with Sikong Shuo, and Sikong Shuo told him that if Su Mu helped Xuanyin, Xuanyin's chances of winning would be zero; if Su Mu ignored Xuanyin, Xuanyin's odds of winning would be half. But Su Mu obviously betrayed the princess of Nanjiang, why did he call that **** Xuan Yin to win?
It's not that he is not happy that Yunzhou has been regained. In fact, he is quite happy. But the people sitting on the dragon chair often have different ideas from ordinary people. If this battle was fought by someone else and won by someone else, he probably wouldn't have any scruples, but why did it happen to be Xuan Yin and the Xuan family army? While he was happy, he was also worried that the Xuan family would rise too fast and make great achievements.
After all, he, the emperor who usurped the country halfway, was always worried that he would be usurped by others one day.
"Your Majesty, our army has finally won the victory, why not take advantage of the victory and pursue it, and take back Liaocheng and Linzi!" In the court hall, a general seconded the proposal.
Another military general also said: "Yes, Your Majesty, King Yinjun has greatly frustrated the enemy's spirit this time, let's take advantage of the victory and pursue it!"
Soon, not only generals, but even civil servants joined the ranks of seconding the proposal. They all believed that Xuanyin should lead the army to the south and recover the city. They have been aggrieved for too long, and they finally feel proud, how can they not fight to the end in one breath?
But the emperor doesn’t think so, the older you get, the easier it is to be suspicious, obviously it wasn’t like this when you were young—
His bored eyes turned to Sikong Shuo who was at the side: "What does Ai Qing think?"
Sikong Shuo is a fine man, he could see at a glance that the emperor was not willing to let the Xuan family continue to grab military merits, he smiled lightly and said: "First the crown prince died in Nanjiang, and now a princess is missing, life and death are unknown, my minister I think that at this juncture, even if they want to continue to invade the rivers and mountains of my Daxin Dynasty, I am afraid they will be powerless. And our soldiers of the Daxin Dynasty also need a period of time to rest and recuperate. It is better to let King Yinjun return to Beijing to receive the reward , and then move south.”
The emperor glanced at Sikong Shuo approvingly, he still won the emperor's heart, then looked at King Zhongshan and said, "What does King Zhongshan think?"
King Zhongshan arched his hands, his expression was cold, and he couldn't see his thoughts: "The minister agrees with Zhong Changshi's proposal."
Count your senses! The emperor nodded in satisfaction, and said to the civil and military officials: "Just do as Zhongchang Shi said, and the king of Xuanyin County will return to the court!"
…
In the hot basement, Ning Yue crushed the last piece of medicine and put it into a purple jar. Then put the jar into a large box with the words "Guyuan Paste" written on it.
Geng Zhongzhi took off his mask and packed the box.
Ning Yue was too tired to move, so she took off her mask, gloves, and overalls, and threw them into the fire to burn them clean.
Geng Zhongzhi loaded the box into the carriage, left Huichun Hall, and drove towards Qionglou.
Ning Yue took out the cheap lipstick she bought from the market and threw it into the secret room.
The fire burst into flames.
Spread from the chamber to the basement, melting all the ice.
"Ah—it's the water! It's the water! Come on! It's the water—" the man found the fire and shouted desperately. Attracted by his cry, everyone raised buckets and rushed to put out the fire.
Ning Yue tightened her skirt, and walked out from the other side of the fire with no expression on her face. The thick smoke was getting farther and farther behind her until it disappeared.
