This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 344 It's all over

It's getting late.

In the distance, another boy surnamed Ji rushed towards this direction.

"His Royal Highness, King Zuo Xian of the Huns led less than [-] soldiers through the mouth of the gourd, and was ambushed by General Ye. Under the rolling stones and arrows, the other party suffered heavy losses. General Ye led the soldiers of the Black Cavalry Battalion and returned to the forest, but Zuo Xianwang returned without success."

"Afterwards, 28 miles away from Yanziguan, King Zuo Xian of the Huns ordered to bury a pot to make rice. At this juncture, General Ye suddenly appeared on his left wing again, and he was caught off guard by the attack. Kill more than [-] enemies and then walk away."

"Two consecutive harassments left less than [-] enemy troops, and all of them were exhausted. Afraid that General Ye would appear again, King Zuo Xian led his soldiers straight to Yanziguan. Seven miles away from the gate of Yanziguan At this place, the Xiongnu army was ambushed by General Ye again, although there is a difference in numbers at this moment, the soldiers of the Black Cavalry Battalion are all brave and good at fighting, King Zuo Xian was defeated and was forced to flee to Luoyin Mountain."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Xiqiu spoke in admiration: "I've heard about the name of the Great Zhou Black Cavalry Battalion for a long time, but now I see it today, it really lives up to its reputation. It's even more amazing that a mere three thousand troops can kill tens of thousands of troops like this." Forcing Zuo Xianwang to flee to Luoyin Mountain, it is really powerful, I admire it!"

Wen Ruyan also chuckled, and said, "It's just a matter of intentional calculation and no intention. Ye Linxue will naturally get a lot of results after waiting for work."

"This time, King Zuoxian's overall situation has been decided, and we are waiting for the news from Running, but it should come soon." Mu Xiqiu said flatly.

His expression was calm, as if the defeat of the Huns had nothing to do with him.

The two chatted happily, but at this moment Ji Yun couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, there are still no less than five thousand Huns guarding Yanziguan. There is a big battle seven miles away. How could they not receive any money?" The sound of the wind, and such a short distance, they can arrive in a moment, but why don't they send troops to support?"

"The Xiongnu soldiers in the West Court had already lost a battle, and their strength was insufficient. Although there were guards at Yanziguan, most of them were from the East Court. And when a civil war broke out in the East and West Courts in Running City, they would naturally be able to accept them. After hearing the news, at this moment King Zuoxian is ambushed, how can the soldiers of the Eastern Court send troops to support him?"

Everyone present looked at him in shock after hearing his words.

How could this person calculate to such an extent?What exactly is in his mind?Is it really the reincarnation of a monster?
Just when everyone fell silent, another boy surnamed Ji rushed over.

"It seems that there is also news from Running." Mu Xiqiu said lightly.

After the young man approached, he clasped his fists and said, "His Royal Highness, two hours after Zuo Xianwang left Running, His Highness the Crown Prince reorganized the three armies and launched an attack there. King Xian resisted for less than half an hour, Running City was broken, King Youxian fled to Nianze with his remnant soldiers, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already taken advantage of the victory to pursue."

As soon as the news came, the young man surnamed Ji standing behind Wen Ruyan all heaved a sigh of relief.

The expressions of the old Taoists and the others were the opposite. At this moment, there was a faint hint of frustration on their faces.

All of them could see that under the current situation, the Huns had lost their power and could not recover, and their trip to the northern border had come to an end.

Peng Hai sighed deeply, and said: "Young Master, the Right Wise King of the Xiongnu is too useless, even if he fought with the Left Wise King and parted ways, he still has no less than [-] soldiers under his command, why? Running will be lost within half an hour?"

Mu Xiqiu calmly replied: "It's not that he's a waste. How can he be a waste if he can achieve the position of the master of the East Court?"

"That"

Mu Xiqiu glanced at him, and said: "First, the Huns invaded the northern border of Great Zhou every year. If it comes to attacking the city, they still have some experience, but when it comes to defending the city, they are a bit powerless. Second, As soon as Zuo Xianwang left the crown prince, he led the army to attack the city. How can You Xianwang not know that he has been fooled at this time? He must be furious at this time, how can he still be rational? It is not bad to be able to defend for half an hour."

Speaking of this, Mu Xiqiu glanced at Wen Ruyan again, and said, "Your Highness is really a good method, a good plan, and a good strategy."

Wen Ruyan was a little embarrassed to say the word "good" three times in a row.

But without waiting for him to speak, Mu Xiqiu stood up directly after saying this, and said: "Since the matter has come to this, I should take my leave."

As soon as he said these words, the faces of the group of teenagers surnamed Ji and the old Taoist priest all became serious.And those boys surnamed Ji glanced at each other, moved a few steps slightly, and formed a half-surrounding trend towards the old Taoist priest and others.

As long as Wen Ruyan speaks, they will strike immediately.

Since the battlefield is already a matter of victory, this group of teenagers surnamed Ji will of course plan to keep these people in front of them. After all, the pressure that Mu Xiqiu has brought to them today is too great. Always a scourge.

When the old Taoist and others saw their actions like this, they naturally had to take precautions carefully.

Ning Wan'er was taken away by Wen Ruyan in front of them, which was already a shame for them, after all, they were all well-known masters in the Jianghu, and they were taken away without even seeing the person they were protecting. gone.

If another accident happened to their young master now, they might as well just apologize with death. What face do they have to live in this world?

Even Ning Wan'er looked at Wen Ruyan solemnly at this moment. In fact, she was also afraid that Wen Ruyan would leave them here. After all, she had learned Wen Ruyan's skills. Which one is his opponent?Even my own elder brother, I'm afraid.
The amiable atmosphere just now suddenly became tense.

But under this tense atmosphere, Wen Ruyan still had a slight smile on his face, making it hard to guess what he was thinking.

But Mu Xiqiu was similar, with a calm expression on his face, as if he wasn't worried about what would happen next at all.

In fact, Wen Ruyan didn't intend to fight with them, just like what he thought before coming here, as long as he can hold Mu Xiqiu here, as for keeping them?Oh, forget it
In fact, why did Wen Ruyan never want to keep Mu Xiqiu?But given the current situation, not to mention that he couldn't keep them at all, even if he could, the young man surnamed Ji on his side would probably lose a few of them under the other party's desperate efforts, which Wen Ruyan didn't want to see of.

If he was in his heyday, he could still give it a try, but now that he is injured, it would be fine if he did some out-of-the-ordinary moves, but if he were to fight against this group of people with high martial arts skills, I'm afraid he would be a little powerless.

Besides, he has always been unable to see through the depth of Mu Xiqiu. To be reasonable, Ning Wan'er's martial arts are so powerful. If it is said that Mu Xiqiu doesn't know anything about martial arts, how can Wen Ruyan believe it?

It's just that the two of them have dealt with each other several times, but they have never seen him make a move. Why is this?
There are only two reasons, one is that he really doesn't know martial arts, and the other is that he hides his secrets.

And if Wen Ruyan had to choose between these two reasons, he would definitely choose the second one without hesitation.

So far, as originally planned, let them go.

This can't be blamed on Wen Ruyan, since he wants to hold Mu Xiqiu here, he can't bring a large group of people here. His subordinates are all masters, so how could they not be aware of his ambush here?
If it made the other party feel vigilant, how could he still come to the appointment?Knowing that something will happen and still coming, do you really think he is a fool?

If he didn't come to the appointment, wouldn't everything he had arranged in advance be useless?

On the other hand, Mu Xiqiu seemed to have guessed Wen Ruyan's state of mind at the moment, and he was really not in a hurry.

In fact, he can almost see Wen Ruyan's personality now.

You know, Ye Linxue blatantly resigned from Wen Ruyan's marriage in the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Under this humiliation, he was able to risk his life to save her, and in the end, he and her both fell into the sky. High cliffs.

If he did this to save a person who had humiliated himself, how could he put these young boys who had followed him for several years behind him in danger?
Mu Xiqiu also knew very well that if he really took action at this moment, at least half of these young boys would be lost, and Wen Ruyan absolutely didn't want to see this scene.

So he is very confident.

Seeing him like this, Wen Ruyan shook his head slightly, and then said to the young man surnamed Ji behind him: "Mr. Han and Miss Ning are my distinguished guests, why do you need to do this?"

As soon as he said this, the group of youngsters surnamed Ji became anxious, and saw Ji Yun shouting eagerly: "Your Highness!"

Wen Ruyan waved his hands and said, "I have my own opinion."

Seeing that His Royal Highness was so determined, Ji Yun and the others put down their guard and took half a step back.

When the old Taoist and others saw them like this, they also took a look at Mu Xiqiu.

Mu Xiqiu chuckled lightly, and said: "Today, His Highness and I are just reminiscing about the past, so you mustn't be rude."

"Yes."

After they also backed away for half a step, Mu Xiqiu bowed slightly to Wen Ruyan, cupped his fists and saluted, "Your Highness is very affectionate."

"They all grew up with me since childhood, how can I bear it?" Wen Ruyan replied.

Mu Xiqiu pondered for a while, then said directly and solemnly: "If it were me, I would definitely not be like His Highness."

Wen Ruyan said with a smile: "Mr. Han, isn't he afraid that the people behind you will have resentment against you when he said this?"

Mu Xiqiu shook his head slightly, and said: "They know me very well, but they still choose to follow me. Naturally, there is a reason, and I also believe that they will not feel resentful towards me because of this."

Wen Ruyan smiled helplessly.

Mu Xiqiu went on to say seriously: "It's a good thing for ordinary people to value friendship, but people like you and me are born to be ruthless. If you want to achieve great things, even your closest relatives can be killed! Your Highness let me see one of you today." Achilles' heel."

Wen Ruyan was silent.

In fact, to be honest, in the face of the current situation, we should desperately keep this person, don't say that half of my side will be lost, even if it is all lost, so what?If Mu Xiqiu is let go today, it is unknown how many people will suffer indiscriminate disasters in the future.

Wen Ruyan also understood this truth, but he couldn't do it.

If Yang Ping or Ye Linxue were here at this moment, he would have to be said to be indecisive.

From the point of view of the righteousness of the world, this approach is the most correct.

But Wen Ruyan really couldn't bear to see any young man surnamed Ji being damaged here.

After all, they all grew up with him!He is also a person of flesh and blood, and this kind of feeling, which is almost regarded as a close relative, can't be said to be thrown away.

You can talk about it, but how many people in the world are willing to sacrifice their brothers for righteousness?
He was silent for a while, then said calmly, "I'm not the same person as you."

Mu Xiqiu looked at him in surprise when he heard this, but Wen Ruyan had a smile on his face, and said: "Everyone in the world knows that I am just a dandy who cannot be supported by mud. Prince, and I am also willing to be such a person, you are ambitious and ruthless, but I just want to be an idle prince, why do I need to be like you?"

Mu Xiqiu sneered, and said: "Your Highness, don't you think your words are a bit ridiculous? If you really want to be an idle prince, then why did you take the risk and come to this northern border?"

"The idle prince is also a prince! When Da Zhou needs me, I will naturally stand up, but when he doesn't need me, I'm just a dandy. Why worry so much? Tired!"

"But after this battle in the northern border, I think everyone in the world will look at you differently. In the past, all civil and military officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty looked down on you, but this time when you return to Yanjing, there will inevitably be some people who are ready to move. Under the general trend of the world, How can you still be a fool?"

Wen Ruyan chuckled again, and said, "The Battle of the Northern Territory was all due to His Royal Highness planning the strategy, so what does it have to do with me? Although the Black Cavalry Battalion has made great achievements, how many people know about it? Just need to explain Yang Ping and Gao Yu will be fine."

Even Mu Xiqiu, who was extremely well-off in the city, couldn't help being startled when he heard Wen Ruyan's words.

"You really don't want any credit for this day's great work?"

Wen Ruyan also stood up gently at this moment, and said in a deep voice, "Flick off your clothes when it's over, and hide your achievements and fame!"

As soon as these words were uttered, even the men present seemed to be overwhelmed by Wen Ruyan's unrestrained demeanor for an instant.Not to mention the woman Ning Wan'er.

She froze in place for an instant, staring at Wen Ruyan intently.

This man has such a temperament
I saw that Wen Ruyan also bowed slightly to Mu Xiqiu, cupped his fists and said, "Let's just leave today, Mr. Han, Miss Ning, we will meet later!"

Mu Xiqiu also took a deep look at Wen Ruyan, clasped his fists and said: "There will be a period later! I hope to be able to compete with His Highness in the future!"

Before leaving, Ning Wan'er gave Wen Ruyan another meaningful look, the complexity in her eyes made Wen Ruyan a little incomprehensible.

September 23, the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Huns were defeated!
Under the pursuit of Prince Wen Ruyu, King Youxian fled Yanziguan with less than [-] remnants of defeated generals, but King Zuoxian was forced by Ye Linxue to flee into the Luoyin Mountains, and then under Ye Linxue's pursuit, he left three The corpses of more than a thousand Hun soldiers fled back to Beimo in embarrassment.

Afterwards, the soldiers of the Black Cavalry Battalion were divided into two, one part returned to Yanzi Pass to join the Prince, and the other part disappeared into Luoyin Mountain with the Zuoxian King, without a trace.

As soon as the victory is passed back to Yanjing, the whole country celebrates!
Countless soldiers and civilians wept bitterly!

God knows how terrified they were when they heard that three cities were lost in the northern border, and the Huns' army forced them to the city of Yunzhou a few days ago.

After the great victory, the crown prince stayed in the northern border to deal with all the post-war matters, while countless soldiers and civilians waited eagerly for the triumphant return of the northern army.

But this has nothing to do with Wen Ruyan.

September 24.

Wen Ruyan and his entourage stood at the gate of Yanjing City, full of sobs.
