Noble First Daughter-in-law

The night wind is like a hand, and the pine needles are like strings, playing low music like the rolling waves, singing endlessly.

In a blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

When Nie Chong returned to the mountain wall, his clothes soaked with night dew, the stars in the sky had shifted and the wind gradually calmed down.

However, when he returned to the original place, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Because the top of the mountain, which was just overgrown with weeds, is now flattened, as if something has rolled over here, and the night dew condensed on the grass tips has also disappeared, and the ground is so dark that it is almost disturbing. It's hard to tell where is the ground and where is the person dormant here.

It wasn't until he heard the heavy breathing of the two people that he figured out the direction and immediately leaned over and walked over.

"Your Highness, Mr. Shen——"

As he approached, Nie Chong was stunned again.

These two people were not lying down in the posture when he left just now, but half-crouched on the ground. It didn't look like they were looking out at the valley ahead, but rather like they were confronting each other; moreover, their clothes were darker than before. There was some color, and it was still full of moisture. It was obviously soaked. If you look closely, it was stained with a lot of grass clippings and soil. He was even more embarrassed than he had been crawling on the hillside for a long time just now.

Even their hair and clothes seemed a little messy.

Just when Nie Chong was a little stunned, Yu Wenye had already raised his head. The sky was dark, and his face was a little gloomy. But when he spoke, except for the uneven breath, his voice was calm and as steady as ever. calm.

"How?" he asked.

"Uh, yes."

Nie Chong immediately came back to his senses, raised his hands and gave a simple salute, and then said: "My subordinates were just halfway up the mountain and heard the conversation of those people guarding the valley. As expected by His Highness, these people were indeed preparing to attack. Tomorrow we will attack with fire to force His Highness King Qi to come out of the valley. Now, some of them are guarding the entrance of the valley, while others are collecting branches and dead grass nearby to prepare for tomorrow's use."

This is not too surprising.

Yu Wenye just nodded, and then asked: "They said, when will they start?"

Nie Chong said: "At dawn, set fire to it."

This is not surprising.

Although the other party's purpose was different from theirs, the bright sky was conducive to them catching the general among the rebels.

Although the other party may not yet know that Yu Wenyuan has proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an City, and that Yu Wencheng's identity is no longer the third son of Sheng Guogong in the past, but His Highness Prince Qi of the Dasheng Dynasty, but even if he is the third son of Yu Wen His identity is enough for the other party to take him seriously.

As long as they catch him, Taiyuan will be equivalent to catching one of Yu Wenyuan's weaknesses.

Therefore, tomorrow, we must win the battle!
Yu Wenye let out a deep breath, and then said: "Okay, I understand, let's go back now. Let our people be ready, and in the early morning-"

Before he finished speaking, Nie Chong added: "By the way, my subordinates also heard some other news."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, both Yu Wenye and Shen Wuzheng turned their heads. Because they were so close, Nie Chong could faintly see that there seemed to be some traces on their faces that were not there before, but he did not ask any more questions, and he did not dare to. Look more - after all, he was on the mountainside just now, and he could hear the low voices of those people talking at the entrance of the valley several miles away. How could he not hear the voices coming from the top of the mountain? - He just lowered his head and replied solemnly: "My subordinates just heard that it turns out that it was not Wang Shaoji who conspired with the Western Turks to capture Taiyuan City, but Wang Shaoqiu's men."

"What?!" "Yes, it was Wang Shaoqiu who led a group of troops to go north first and conspired with the Western Turks to capture Taiyuan."

"..."

At this time, the entire mountaintop fell silent.

Not only Yu Wenye, but also Shen Wuzheng, who was lying next to him and only a little distance away from him, also frowned. Although the two people no longer looked at each other or spoke, the dull and anxious aura exuding from their bodies was exactly the same. .

The two brothers Wang Shaoji and Wang Shaoqiu actually divided their forces? !

This must be Wang Shaoqiu's idea!

Yu Wenye narrowed his eyes slightly, his sharp gaze like a cold light coming out of its sheath in the night, and he became calmer.He clearly remembered that during the previous rebellion in Jiangdu Palace, although Wang Shaoji seemed to be in charge of the overall situation, the person who was really planning everything behind him was Wang Shaoqiu, who was not obvious but had everything in his hands.

This time they led the army to the north. According to Yu Wenye's previous prediction for them, they must pass through Luoyang. Most of Wang Shao and his troops were old troops that Chu Yang took away from Luoyang. These people must want to go back. , Therefore, they must have a duel with Liang Shide.

It was also because of this that Liang Shide did not fight with them to the end in order to preserve his strength.

Unexpectedly, they did the opposite, conspired with the Western Turks, crossed the eastern capital Luoyang, and went straight to Taiyuan, winning a place for them to settle down.Now that we have a base, our subordinates will not have to flee in all directions, and it is not far to the east, so we can appease the old troops, and we can also advance westward and press into Guanzhong.

This move was very steady and could be described as "far-sighted". It was indeed not something that a short-sighted person like Wang Shaoji who was greedy for petty profits would do.

Yu Wenye frowned, and the expression on his face gradually darkened.

He lowered his head and meditated for a long time, then raised his head to look at Nie Chong, and said in a deep voice: "Have those people said where Wang Shaoji's men are now?"

Nie Chong shook his head: "No."

"..."

"My subordinates listened for a long time, just trying to find out where Wang Shaoji's men are now. But these people just kept bragging about Wang Shaoqiu's abilities, but did not mention Wang Shaoji's whereabouts again. My subordinates guessed that maybe after they divided their troops , even our own people don’t know their whereabouts.”

At this moment, Shen Wuzheng on the side said: "No matter what, the two brothers may separate their forces, but they cannot separate their paths."

"...!"

Hearing this, Yu Wenye turned to look at him: "What do you mean-"

When they looked at each other, a refined and sharp light burst out in their eyes, as if they both felt something.

But at the same time, after that moment of looking at each other, the eyes of the two people became cold again, as if the temperature of the night dew that had just touched their bodies had also touched each other's eyes. Although there was no change in expression on their faces, the surroundings The air suddenly condensed.

Even Nie Chong felt something, but he remained silent and lowered his head.

After an unknown length of silence, Yu Wenye stood up, took a deep breath, and then said, "Go back first, and then we'll talk later."
