night enchanting

Chapter 78
The border of the closed country, Huangcheng.The war continued and the flames raged.

The other hall is the dormitory of King Chen.The wind came in through the window, the air was cold, and the room was silent.

Nangong Ye, who had been in a coma for many days, breathed steadily as usual, but his complexion became pale as paper.His eyes were closed tightly, and the eyebrows were still lightly furrowed in a coma.

The enemy army attacked again outside the city, and everyone was ready to fight, leaving only Yi Yu to guard him alone.With a worried face on his face, he whispered: "Third brother, when will you wake up?"

The person on the bed didn't respond and remained motionless.

In the chaotic space of consciousness, there is endless darkness.He was erratic, as if he was struggling to find a little bit of light that belonged to him.

"Ye..." Someone seemed to be calling him.Such a clear and gentle voice, so familiar, seems to have missed countless days and nights.

Blindly looking around, no one was there, and after a long time, the voice sounded again: "Ye, you have slept for too long, it is time to wake up. Only when you wake up can you catch up with me. I will wait for you in front, Come quickly, otherwise, if you are late, I will leave."

Mo'er? !It was Mo'er's voice, she was calling him, with her waiting in front, he didn't want to sleep anymore.He tried hard to open his eyes, but found that he couldn't open them no matter what, and his eyelids were as heavy as lead.

Darkness, everything around him was in darkness, and he couldn't find the exit.

The familiar voice sounded again, as if guiding him to an unknown direction.

Mo'er, where are you?Wait for me... He wanted to call her, but he couldn't make a sound. He was very anxious in his heart, and he searched for the sound, but there was no one but the sound.

Moer...

Moer...

One call after another, but the throat seemed to be blocked by a hard object, and the sound could not be uttered.He became more and more anxious, he had to yell out, otherwise, Mo'er would disappear, she couldn't disappear, she couldn't.

Desperately opening his lips, with a meager consciousness, he exhausted all his strength and shouted loudly: "Mo'er—"

The hoarse voice was originally weak, but it reverberated heavily in the silent space. Because of the suddenness, Yi Yuteng jumped up in shock, and was in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.

The narrow and long phoenix eyes slowly opened, and after a short period of confusion, the mind gradually became clear.Due to sleeping for too long, his body was limp and weak, and his whole body was sore.Turning his head slightly, he saw Yi Yu staring at him with wide eyes, as if he didn't realize what happened.He pretended to cough lightly, but his throat was burning like a fire, and he tried to get up with his own strength.

Only then did Yi Yu come to his senses, his expression of joy suddenly appeared, and he immediately came to help him, his movements were not unfamiliar, and he said happily: "Third brother, you finally woke up."

Call softly, third brother!It made Nangong Ye startled. He was a little surprised to see Yi Yu taking care of him after waking up, but seeing that she was so close to his elder brother who had always hated him, she even called him... Third Brother? !

The past emerged, he had been looking for her for more than ten years, and when they met, she faced her with a sword.The hatred at that time was so strong, if it wasn't because of Rumo, his heart couldn't help but feel cold.At this moment, her sudden change made him feel at a loss for a while.

Yi Yu has become a habit of taking care of him these days, and the third brother called him a few times and he said it smoothly, so he didn't notice his change at the moment, he just helped him up, half got up, and put the soft pillow on the bed Behind him, he poured another glass of water for him, and said naturally: "If you don't wake up again, we will all die of panic."

Turning around and handing him the cup, he saw him staring at her in a daze, only to think of the way they got along before. These days, she is used to it, but he must not be used to it.Twitching the corners of his mouth, he said in embarrassment, "Third Brother, you won't blame me for what happened before, right?"

He thought that in his whole life, he would never hear her call him brother. Everything in the past was caused by himself, and she was so angry because she was nervous about Mo'er, so don't blame her.Now, he is very pleased to have her forgiveness, after all, only her and Ao are left as his relatives.Just as he was about to smile slightly, he suddenly remembered something, immediately stopped smiling, and said in a gentle tone of a brother: "Yu'er, you are not wrong."

After that, he raised his hand to take the cup and put it to his lips.Hearing what he said, Yi Yu's heart immediately lightened up, and she smiled as he drank half of the glass in one gulp, then stopped suddenly.

His hand...can move? !Nangong Ye looked at his hand holding the cup in shock, and couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes. He raised his other hand and it moved freely.Yi Yu also reacted, and smiled happily: "Third brother, your meridians have been restored! Qi Che said that as long as you can move your hands freely after waking up, then you are fine. However, you still need to cultivate for a while , it is best not to use force in a short time."

Nangong Ye nodded, looked around the room, feeling a faint sense of loss filled his heart, and his eyes dimmed.How could he expect that she would stay by his side.

Yi Yu knew the reason at a glance, raised his lips, and said with a bright smile, "Are you looking for Rumo? She said she has something to do, so she left first. However, before she left, she left you a note." After finishing speaking, he took out a small note from his pocket and handed it over.

Nangong Ye's eyes lit up immediately, like stars in the night, the hand that took the note trembled slightly, such a light piece of paper felt very heavy in his hand.I really wanted to open it immediately, but I paused again, my heart was ups and downs, a little hopeful and a little worried.He laughed at himself, when Nangong Ye, whenever he encountered something about her, would worry about gains and losses and be timid?

Turning his eyes to look at Yi Yu, Yi Yu curled his lips and smiled secretly, but also said wisely to help him get some food.

The moment the door closed, he finally unfolded the note.

The moonlight shines through the window, and the silvery white is sprinkled on the ground, overlapping and merging with the warm yellow lamp shadow.In the quiet room, the sound of heartbeat can be faintly heard, fast and powerful.

His slender, white fingers clamped the edge of the paper, carefully, for fear that it would damage even a little bit if he was not careful.His eyes stayed on the words for a long time, and the deep affection and excitement in his eyes seemed to overflow.

"Ye, wait for me." He seemed to spend his whole life reading such three simple words, and he couldn't read them all.It was her handwriting, unmistakable.The style of the pen is elegant and serious, and you can tell that you have poured your emotions into it at a glance.

Mo'er, what does it mean she asked him... to wait for her?Does it mean that she forgave him and is willing to let go of everything in the past and start anew with him?Can he understand that?

His eyes were full of anticipation for the future, and his grinning mouth could not be closed. For more than 20 years, he had never smiled so disregarding his image like this moment.The joy from the heart made his pale cheeks blush, and his handsome face became more vivid.

I thought there was no hope in this life, but I didn't want to survive the desperate situation.Immediately, all kinds of tastes are in my heart, ups and downs.How could the word "excited" describe his state of mind at the moment.

This time, he must cherish this hard-won happiness, and no one can destroy it.

When Yi Yu came in again, he saw the unconcealable joy on his face, his face was radiant, completely different from his weakness and paleness when she went out, and he didn't look like he was just recovering from a serious illness.Can't help but smile happily, watching him finish the porridge.

Nangong Ye's stomach was full, and his energy was better. He asked Yi Yu, "Do you know where Mo'er went? What are you going to do?"

Yi Yu was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Ru Mo told you not to ask anything, just trust her."

Nangong Ye was startled, telling him not to ask anything?Didn't she go back to the magic palace? "It's not that I don't believe her. I'm just worried about her. Will she be in danger?"

Yi Yu smiled reassuringly, and said, "Don't you know about Rumo's ability? Well, you just woke up after sleeping for so many days. Don't worry too much about it, take a good rest."

As he was about to help him lie down, Nangong Ye shook his head, thinking that he only saw Yi Yu after waking up, which was a bit unusual.Ordinarily, when he wakes up, Ao and Qi Che should come to see him soon. Could it be that something happened?Thinking of this, he frowned and asked, "Yu'er, did something happen? Why didn't you see Ao and Qi Che?"

Yi Yu stopped helping him, smiled forcedly, and said hesitantly, "They..."

"Tell me the truth." He propped himself up, sat up straight, his eyes fell into her eyes, penetrating into people's hearts, causing her to swallow the words that were already on her lips. Looking at each other, she said discouragedly: "They are defending the city." .In the past few days, the Jin army has come to attack the city every night. They have so many more troops than us, and this battle has become more and more strenuous."

Since coming to the border this time, she has seen what war is. Compared with this, the struggle in the rivers and lakes is nothing.As a member of the royal family, she should do her part to seal the country and share her brother's worries. If it wasn't for the eldest brother who insisted on her staying to take care of the third brother, she would also want to go to the battlefield to fight the enemy together.

Seeing her sad face, Nangong Ye stretched out his hand to pat her arm, his phoenix eyes were slightly closed, his expression was calm and composed, and he gave people strength invisibly.War has never been in his eyes. In this world, apart from that woman making him powerless, there is nothing that can hinder him. "Don't worry, wars won't be won if there are more people. If I'm here, no one will invade my territory, offend my rivers and mountains. Wherever they came from, I'll let them go back."

A few sonorous and confident words lifted Yi Yu's heart, swept away the sorrow just now, and showed a bright smile.That's right, why did she forget that the third brother is the God of War, with him around, there is nothing to worry about.However, he has just woken up, and he is not suitable for using force. The situation in front of him is already very tense, and he may not be able to wait.

Nangong Ye got off the bed, Yi Yu was startled, and quickly stopped him: "What are you doing?"

Nangong Ye said, "I'll go out and have a look."

"No, you just woke up and your body hasn't recovered yet, so you need to rest more." She was in a hurry, the third brother had managed to save his life, so he couldn't be allowed to take risks.

At this moment, footsteps sounded in the distance, but they didn't seem to be coming this way.Nangong Ye turned her phoenix eyes, and said to Yi Yu who was holding his arm firmly, "Go and see, if the siege is over, tell them to call the generals of the camp to discuss matters."

King Chen has avoided seeing him for many days, causing suspicion in the camp.In recent days, the Jin army has vigorously attacked the city, and the main force of the Feng army is defending the city. It is obviously in a weak position, and the morale of the army will inevitably decline.Now, an order to convene a discussion was issued, and all the camps were boiling.

As soon as Nangong Ao heard the news, his footsteps were windy, and his joy was beyond words.Pushing open the door, I saw that he was neatly dressed, sitting upright in the main seat, full of energy.He strode forward and said excitedly, "Ye, it's great that you woke up!"

Nangong Ye got up, seeing his tired face, he felt ashamed, originally he should have done these things, but because of his selfishness, brother Wang was tired and suffered from the war all day long.

Arms were supported, the two brothers looked at each other, and the friendship was surging. There was no need to say anything, but they nodded heavily, each clearly understood.

"My lord, you are awake." Qi Che said lightly. His medical skills have been greatly improved after passing this time. He looked sideways at Yi Yu who was smiling and smiling, his expression could not be concealed. Joy and pride.

Leng Yixiao looked at each other with relief, from anger to gratitude to this former friend, it was all because of her sister.If Yan'er received the news, she would be very happy. Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing.

Mo Cange looked indifferent, standing spontaneously in an inconspicuous corner.Nangong Ye woke up, he could finally leave.Since the head of a sect in Jianghu, he has now become a general of an army of tens of thousands of people. Although he has just come here not long ago, with his superb martial arts, no one in the army is dissatisfied.Although I have gradually adapted, but after all, my heart is not here.

The other generals of each battalion had been unable to see each other for a month, and now they finally saw each other, all of them were happy and excited, with solemn and respectful expressions.

Nangong Ye greeted him, and briefly said that he was unwell a few days ago, without further explanation.When his eyes touched the expressionless Mo Cange, he paused slightly. On the day he came, the battlefield was chaotic, and his body was only in a state of being unable to hold on, so he didn't notice him, but he had heard that Yi Xiao He is here, but he doesn't know that Mo Cange is also there.Based on his understanding of Mo Cange, there is only one possibility to appear on the frontier battlefield.

Yi Yu saw that the two men were looking at each other. Although there was no gunfire in their eyes, they were rivals in love after all, and each had their own conflicts. In this extraordinary period, he was afraid of a civil war between the two, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Third brother, what's the matter with you?" Fortunately, there is Can Ge to help you force out the cold air that has invaded your heart, otherwise, only Qi Che will not be able to save you. You have to thank him very much."

Nangong Ye was slightly taken aback, would Mo Cange save his life?His expression remained the same, but his expression softened unconsciously. Before he could speak, he heard Mo Cange's emotionless voice: "You don't need to say thank you. I owed you my life last time. This time, I owe you both."

In Liangqing, Nangong Ye smiled wryly, even if he had never saved Mo Cange, I believe he would not refuse to save him.For the two of them, no matter who saved the other, it was just to prevent that woman from being sad.Because they all understood that the two of them had different positions in her heart, but they were equally irreplaceable.

Nangong Ye nodded in agreement, and said no more on this topic, and sat side by side with Nangong Ao.

Everyone sat down one by one.

Qi Che briefly introduced the big and small battles that have happened during this period of time, the military strength of both sides, and the current situation. Nangong Ye quietly listened to him, picked some key issues for further understanding, and came to a conclusion : First, there is a huge difference in military strength, and the enemy is outnumbered.Second, the enemy troops stationed in dangerous places can advance or retreat, attack or defend. Our army cannot attack and can only stick to the city gate and be passive.Third, the enemy army wins more and loses less, and its morale is strong. Our army only defends but does not attack. There is no hope of victory, and morale is low.

Everyone also expressed their opinions, and finally looked at King Chen unanimously, waiting for him to make up his mind.

Nangong Ye has always been the backbone of the army, this is an unchangeable fact for many years.

I saw his handsome face was calm and calm, the shadows of his slightly drooping eyelashes in the candlelight covered the expression in his eyes, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking at the moment.Looking at the temporary hand-drawn topographic map on the table in front of him, his slender fingertips slid across the place where the enemy camped in the picture.Surrounded by cliffs on three sides, it can resist the invasion of cold wind, and the steep mountain, the snow does not melt, it is difficult to climb, and it can prevent the enemy from going up the mountain to make a surprise attack.There is an exit at each end of the valley, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

According to common sense, it is indeed a good place, but it is a pity that Yang Xiang met him, Nangong Ye, so he can no longer speculate according to common sense.

After contemplating for a moment, he raised his head to look at the crowd, his eyes were piercing, his lips were slightly hooked, his smile was half a smile, but he looked confident.The sentence is sonorous, and the voice is majestic: "Pass down this king's order, tonight, the whole army will practice overnight without rest. At noon tomorrow, this king will personally lead the army and fight the enemy to the death."

Everyone was shocked and looked at each other.Judging from the current situation, let's not talk about our military strength, but the enemy's terrain. Isn't this an obvious way to die?
"Ah? My lord, why is this..." The lieutenant general of the first battalion blurted out doubts, but he shuddered under the not so cold and stern eyes he cast, and quickly stopped talking, leaning over to plead guilty: "At the end Will... be convicted."

Several other battalion generals also looked puzzled, but no one dared to ask.Questioning the general's order is never allowed in the army.

The three battalion masters stood up, knelt on one leg, touched the ground with one hand, raised their heads and looked up in reverence, and said firmly, "I respect the order. I believe that the prince's decision must have been carefully considered and he is sure of victory." After experiencing the last turmoil, Nangong Aonian thought that he was a general and was instigated by others, so he was not demoted and only rewarded him with a hundred army sticks.Before he could finish his sentence, the other battalion generals fell to the ground and took orders together.

Nangong Ye stretched out his hand to take the tea at the side, and drank it gracefully, noncommittal to what they said was sure of victory.His army is to believe in him unconditionally, no matter what he decides.He got up, walked a few steps unhurriedly, came to the first battalion lieutenant general, took a deep look, his fingers loosened, the cup in his hand fell to the ground with half a cup of unfinished tea, and the teacup immediately fell to the ground. It was crushed, water splashed, and the sleeves of the person lying on the ground were wet. It was completely cold to the touch, without a trace of heat.

Seeing the person in front of him tremble, he turned his back with a sneer, and ordered in a tone that no one could question: "Tonight, this king will hear the loudest sound of military training. If anyone's voice is softer... ...Military regulations. Let's all go down."

The battalion generals immediately took orders, and after saluting, they quickly retreated.In the house, there were only six of them left.

Yi Yu called someone over, cleaned up the debris on the ground, and sat next to Qi Che naturally.

Nangong Ao leaned against the back of the chair, with an evil and beautiful face, a relaxed expression that he had never seen in many days. He looked at Nangong Ye with a smile and asked, "Ye, what's your plan? Tell me."

Qi Che was also excitedly waiting for his answer.I have heard the name of King Chen's God of War, and seen his prestige in the army, but I have never seen his resourcefulness and strategy.

The cold and elegant face is indifferent, neither anxious nor impatient.

Mo Cange still had an indifferent expression, as if what happened right now had nothing to do with him, he was just a spectator.

Nangong Ye walked back to his seat unhurriedly, sat down again, stretched out his hand, pointed to a place on the topographic map, said with a firm expression, "If I remember correctly, this Linjue Valley is on a mountain to the west. There should be a lake, and it's not too small."

The two countries of Jin and Yi are strong enemies of the feudal country.Especially the Kingdom of Jin, which has stationed troops at the border gates in recent years, staring at it like a tiger.Therefore, although there has been no war in these years, he has sent people to carefully investigate every city and every mountain near the border between Jin and Yi. , he knew everything about it.

After Qi Che heard this, his eyes lit up, and while thinking, he said, "There is actually a lake on this mountain? Then, what does the prince mean..."

"Fry the lake." Nangong Ye's two simple words decided the fate of the enemy.Ice water in the twelfth lunar month poured into the valley, if you don't drown, you will be frozen to death.

Nangong Ao was startled, this is indeed a good idea, but the mountain is not easy to climb.After pondering for a while, he frowned and said, "I sent people to check those mountains before. The mountains are steep and covered with snow and ice, and they can't go up at all. How can they blow up the lake?"

Nangong Ye said: "Because of this, we have a chance. If everyone can go up and the enemy army is not so easy to retreat to the valley, then what's the point of our overnight training?"

Nangong Ao, Qi Che and the others suddenly realized that the order to attack the mountain and the overnight training was actually to create momentum and spread a message to the spies who had not been eliminated in the army.Yang Xiang was extremely cautious in marching and fighting. At present, in order to facilitate the night attack, the whole battalion has been pulled out of the valley. If he learns that they will take the initiative to attack tomorrow, he will definitely feel suspicious.King Chen has not shown his face for many days, and if he shows up, he will lead his troops to death. No one will believe it. If they listen to their military training momentum, they must suspect that they have dispatched reinforcements secretly. To be on the safe side, it is only natural to retreat into the valley first to defend and attack. .
