Noble First Daughter-in-law

It was Song Shiyan who came from the direction of the valley entrance.

Yuwen Cheng had a bad temper and would hit or scold his soldiers and guards when he was angry. But Song Shiyan was different from others. He was Huang Gongyi's soldier, and this time, when he came back to deliver the news from Chang'an, he discovered that inside Taiyuan City The abnormal movements and timely warning allowed Yu Wencheng to escape.

Moreover, because of Huang Gongyi, Yuwen Cheng felt somewhat guilty when facing him.

But even though he felt guilty, Yu Wencheng still showed the momentum of his master, but he didn't beat or scold him at will, and asked: "What's wrong?"

Song Shiyan walked over, and the light from the bonfire next to him immediately illuminated his pale face, and his eyes that were bloodshot and red from being around for several days. Those eyes only glanced at the debris on the ground, and seemed to notice something, so they leaned over. He bowed and said, "Your Highness, there is something strange happening outside the valley."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Wencheng became a little nervous.

They have been besieged here for several days. They heard a noise outside before. It should be that the people sent by Tongguan to meet them were repulsed. After that, he has been waiting for Chu Zhengfei to regain his strength or Chang'an knows about his secret. situation, send an extra army to rescue yourself.

But now, before the reinforcements arrive, there are strange movements outside the mountain.

He hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"

As Song Shiyan spoke, he stretched out his hand to touch his face - these days, he had been guarding the entrance of the valley with his people almost without sleep, and had repelled several enemy attacks before the current confrontation situation was formed. This wiping of hands was like wiping off the rain and dew stained grass clippings, and it also wiped away all the fatigue of the past few days. I saw him saying with a vigilant face: "The general just heard something moving outside, so he asked people to come in." Looking from the top of the mountain, we saw that the men and horses besieging us outside were piling some hay and branches into the mouth of the valley."

Yu Wencheng's eyes widened: "They want to——"

"Fire attack,"

Song Shiyan said in a deep voice: "Now that the wind direction has changed, they probably want to light a fire at the entrance of the valley and smoke us out."

"..."

"If we don't go out and we run out of food and grass, we will be trapped to death even if we don't get smoked to death."

Yu Wencheng immediately panicked and looked down at the bowl he had just smashed in anger and the soup that had been soaked in the soil and could no longer be picked up. He immediately felt regretful and looked up at Song Shiyan: "Then, what should we do? ?”

Song Shiyan took a deep breath and said, "We have to break out."

"Breakthrough?"

These two words made Yu Wencheng's eyes light up for a moment, but then dimmed again: "But before, we failed several times to break through, and the reinforcements sent from Tongguan were also beaten back. What we want now Breaking through is basically——"

Song Shiyan shook his head and said, "Your Highness, we have been trapped here for these days. Even Tongguan sent people to help us. It is impossible that there is no movement at all in Daxing."

"..."

"Besides, given how much I know about the Second Young Master - His Highness, if he sends troops -"

"Second brother?"

As soon as he heard him talking about Yu Wenye, Yu Wencheng's face immediately showed indifference and an unspeakable gloom. He sneered and said, "He doesn't care about me."

As he said that, he gritted his teeth again: "He doesn't regard me as his younger brother."

Song Shiyan frowned and looked at him.

He didn't know the relationship between the two Yuwen masters, and he didn't know that Yu Wencheng had almost broken his neck because he beat an old beggar under Tinghe Tower. He simply thought that it was Because Yu Wenye lied about a plague in Taiyuan before, and lured out some people and events behind Yu Wenye, which made the third son who always admired and was closer to his eldest brother dissatisfied.He thought for a while and then said: "Your Highness, Your Highness will definitely not abandon you."

"..."

"Besides, the news of the fall of Taiyuan must have spread back to Chang'an. Your Majesty, the Duke, is even more unlikely to abandon Taiyuan and will definitely send troops to recover Taiyuan. Your safety, Your Highness, must also be their mission."

Yu Wencheng sneered and said: "If that's the case, then it depends on who will save me."

Song Shiyan shook his head and said, "But now, people outside have begun to pile up fodder and dry firewood. If we don't save ourselves, we will die."

Hearing what he said, Yu Wencheng's brows knitted into a knot.

He stood up, paced around angrily, and finally stopped, saying in a deep voice: "Then what should we do?"

Song Shiyan said: "As I said before, break out."

"..."

"If Chang'an receives the news and sends people again, according to the distance, they should be close to here. Only if we break through can we have the opportunity to meet the people outside and repel Wang Shaoji's people."

Having said this, he looked at Yu Wencheng with red eyes: "Your Highness, if we want to break out, we must gather soldiers now."

"..."

"Otherwise, when the fire outside is lit, we will really have no chance of survival."

After hearing his words, Yu Wencheng became more and more impatient, but at this time, there was really no other way. He gritted his teeth, took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I believe you."

"..."

"The 'Second Highness' you call me, it's best not to disappoint me."

After saying that, he turned around and shouted at the figures of sleeping soldiers all over the mountains and valleys, already illuminated by the faint morning light: "Get up!"

With Yu Wencheng's loud shout, the deep night above his head seemed to be torn open, and the faint morning light peeked out, lightly outlining the outline of the thousands of miles of mountains and valleys in Taihang.

After a while, the morning light became stronger, illuminating the entire Taihang area and also illuminating the busy figure outside the valley.

These people are Wang Shaoqiu's team responsible for chasing the rest of Taiyuan. The leader of them, General Yuan An of Youtun Guard, is a middle-aged man in his 30s with a medium build. At this moment, he is standing on a small slope, commanding his men. People piled all the dead branches of grass and trees collected in the nearby forest to the entrance of the valley. After a while, several haystacks as tall as a person were piled up.

At this time, a deputy general ran to the foot of the slope, saluted, and then asked: "General, is this enough?"

Yuan An raised his head and took a look. Those haystacks and firewood piles blocked the narrow road at the entrance of the valley. Moreover, at this time, the wind direction was just right. Once the fire was lit, the fireworks would float into the valley. Even if Yu Wencheng's people were so smoked that they rushed out and had almost no way to escape.

However, this is not enough.

He ordered the deputy general: "Let the archers prepare on the high ground on both sides. When one comes out, shoot the other one."

As he spoke, he said with a ferocious smile: "I want Yu Wencheng to die here!"
