Aifei, I won't let go

Chapter 69 The situation is not optimistic

Deputy General Lin was stunned, and said angrily, "Why does the prince want others to destroy his own prestige? My subordinates have also heard of the power of gunpowder, but this thing that appeared out of nowhere is only the size of a palm. How can it break through the city of Yue Kingdom? "

"Deputy General Lin," Shangguan Mu Chen said with a squinting look at him, "the truth is unpredictable, whether it is true or not, we will know in a few days. And, if the fact is so, what should you do?"

"I..." He opened his mouth, wanting to refute him, but he couldn't say anything.

If this is the case, what can he do?If that's the case, Zhou Guo used a palm-sized thing to break through the city, then the cities of Yue State will fall one by one, and Yue State...

Vice General Lin's face turned livid, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

Under the night, Shangguan Muchen's face didn't look real. Vice General Lin looked at him for a while, then raised his head, looked at Yuekong, and said in his heart, I hope everything is not as bad as the prince said.

After traveling for a few more days, the large army finally arrived in Yecheng.

Entering the camp, everyone on the left and right saluted Vice General Lin, but no one saluted Shangguan Muchen.

From time to time, someone looked at Shangguan Muchen with weird eyes, and a contemptuous expression on his face.

Shangguan Muchen pursed his lips and automatically ignored the group of people around him.In fact, he should have expected this situation.

When the last attack on the Zhou Kingdom, Su Yong, the great general of the Su family, did not participate, but this time the emperor specially ordered him to accompany him and handed over the military talisman to him. Most of the soldiers in the barracks are probably facing Su Yong .

However, such a result is undoubtedly the worst. She still remembers that Mu Yun once said that the Su family and the State of Zhou had an ulterior secret. If this is true, the State of Yue really has no chance of winning. .

After entering the camp, Shangguan Muchen saw Su Yong sitting in the main seat leading a group of generals to drink wantonly.Deputy General Lin has always lived in Saibei, where the military discipline is strict, and he has never seen such a situation. For a while, he was also very angry, but he also endured and did not say it.

After Su Yong drank a glass of wine, he raised his drunken eyes and seemed to see Shangguan Muchen, and said in surprise, "Oh, my lord, you are back, and you will be negligent in the end. You really deserve death..." As he spoke, he staggered to Shangguan Muchen's side, not looking like a general at all.Some of the generals who were sitting down also seemed to have just seen it at this time, and they knelt on the ground and saluted casually, "I have seen the prince."

Shangguan Mu Chen's face turned cold, and he said coldly, "From now on, drinking is not allowed in the army, they are all withdrawn!"

"Yes!" Seeing their reply, Shangguan Mu Chen left the camp with a livid face, and Deputy General Lin followed suit.The generals behind him immediately gathered beside Su Yong and said, "General Su, look at this kid is crazy."

Su Yong snorted and said, "He will suffer in the future, when the time comes on the battlefield, his dead flesh and blood will be scattered everywhere, and no bones will be found!"

"General Su?" A general beside him looked at him in surprise, not understanding what he meant.

After getting out of the tent, Shangguan Muchen walked all the way into his tent, turned around and said coldly to Deputy General Lin, "What are you following me for?"

Deputy General Lin moved his lips, and finally said, "I finally understand why the prince said that that day. The way the army is like this is really infuriating!"

"Not only that..." Shangguan Mu Chen stared into General Lin Fu's eyes repeatedly, and saw that he was serious and upright, so he sighed and said, "Su Yong can't be trusted."

Deputy General Lin was stunned, and asked in surprise, "What does the lord say?" Shangguan Mu Chen shook his head and stopped talking. There are rebels inside and threats from unknown weapons outside. How should we fight this battle?

Mufu.

After Shangguan Mu Chen left, Mu Yun sat peacefully in the room, and didn't make a fuss about going out or complain about being bored.She picked up the jade pendant that Shangguan Mu Chen had given her, and remembered what he said before he left, "Marrying hair as a husband and wife, love and love will never change. Life should be reunion, and death should be long-term lovesickness." She couldn't help but felt a sense of sadness.

She murmured in her heart, Brother Chen, did you realize something, that's why I said these words?

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she remembered that Mu Haoran told her father earlier that General Su Yong was a traitor in the army, and the chances of Yue Kingdom's victory might have been lost when the emperor decided to hand over the military talisman to him.

Already lost?That's right, the [-]% chance of winning is just to comfort herself. Her soul is a modern person, how could she not know the power of gunpowder.

She walked out the door, looked at the blue sky, and thought, this world is not still in its heyday, so why is gunpowder so early?Could it be that everything is fate?She came to this world for no reason, but in the end she was with Shangguan Muchen under such circumstances.

In the courtyard, there was no one in silence.Lian Er came from a distance, and Yan Shan followed behind her.

"Lian'er, how is sister Mu?"

Lian'er sighed and said, "Since the prince left, he has been depressed."

Yan Shan frowned and said, "Sister Mu is afraid that she is worried about the prince? Now there is no news from Yecheng, so I don't know what to do?"

Lian'er felt sad for a while, she stopped talking, and when she led Yan Shan to Dongyuan, they saw Mu Yun standing at the door crying softly.

Lian'er and Yan Shan were shocked, and hurried over, shouting, "Miss (Sister Mu), what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Yan Shan, Mu Yun immediately hugged her and cried, "What should I do, brother Chen won't come back."

Yan Shan was taken aback, hugged her and comforted her, "Sister Mu, the two armies have not started fighting yet, how could Sister Mu say such a thing?"

Mu Yun shook her head, crying more and more sadly.In fact, it's not that she wants to think about the bad, it's just that such an indefinite wait now makes her panic.

"Sister Mu," Yan Shan said with a sigh, "I know you are worried, but have you forgotten? We also domesticated a group of hidden guards, so I will help you, and Gu Yan will help you too. Therefore, Mu Elder sister, don't worry too much, because you still have us."

Hearing this, Mu Yun let go of Yan Shan and asked in a daze, "Yinwei, what Yinwei?"

Yan Shan wiped away her tears with a smile and said, "Anyway, Sister Mu will wait with peace of mind. After we discussed with Mr. Mu a few days ago, Gu Yan and I have already decided to go to Yecheng. At that time, even if we can't Helping the prince on the battlefield can also save the prince in a critical moment."

Mu Yun was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and suddenly, she grabbed Yan Shan's hand and said, "I want to go with you."

"No," Yan Shan immediately rebuffed, "Sister Mu doesn't know martial arts, and it will only be more dangerous if she goes there. If one day Zhou Guo's cavalry enters Yue Kingdom, then the Mu family will definitely not be spared. At that time, Sister Mu I will take Mu's family to Tianyuan Mountain and wait for news there, and I will keep Yin Luo there."

Mu Yun's face turned pale, she shook her head and took two steps back, she didn't want to wait like this, she wanted to go together.

"My brother will take care of the whole Mu family for me."

"Sister Mu," Yan Shan said, "you must stay here, so that everyone will feel at ease."

Mu Yun fell down on the chair and finally nodded.She doesn't know martial arts, so if she goes, she is indeed a burden.

"If something happens, you must take good care of Brother Chen for me."

"Okay." Yan Shan nodded and stopped talking.

……

At the beginning of March, there was still no movement from Zhou Guo.This made Yue Guo Manchu civil and military discussions endless.

It is said that Zhou Guo's gunpowder is only fake, so they dare not attack Yue Guo.

It is also said that Zhou Guo is just recharging his energy, and when Yue Guo relaxes a little bit, he will be caught off guard.

What's more, Zhou Guo is just scaring people, and in a few days, he will automatically withdraw his troops... But all kinds of words can't make the Mu family let go of their worries.

Perhaps, Zhou Guo was just admiring a rabbit waiting to be killed, and when the rabbit had struggled enough, Zhou Guo would strike without mercy.

In mid-March, Zhou Guo finally ordered an attack, but no gunpowder was used.There was a stalemate in twos, and there was still no change.Su Yong was still drinking and having fun, and joked that Zhou Guo was a moron and there was nothing to worry about.

Shangguan Mu Chen was cold, and his heart became more and more worried. It stands to reason that if Su Yong is a traitor, he should be able to cooperate with the inside and outside, and break through Yue Kingdom without any effort, but what is the purpose of this stalemate now?And even gunpowder was never used, which is really puzzling.

The Artemisia fire burned more and more vigorously, and the jumping flames dazzled Shangguan Muchen's heart.He took out the purse from his pocket, looked at the crooked and ugly big red flowers embroidered on it, and couldn't help laughing.

Yuner, do you miss me?The emotion surging in the dark eyes is getting deeper and deeper, now, he is no longer alone, he still has Mu Yun, the woman he loves so much.

Thinking of this, his heart softened even more.

Deputy General Lin looked at Shangguan Mu Chen who was sitting beside Haohuo, stepped forward, and said jokingly, "My lord, seeing that you are wearing it so close to your body, isn't this a purse embroidered by Miss Mu's family?"

Shangguan Mu Chen Junyi's face turned red, and he said awkwardly, "Is General Lin okay?"

"It's nothing." He sat next to Shangguan Mu Chen, and said calmly, "Not long ago, the prince said that Zhou Guo would use gunpowder to attack the city of Yue Kingdom in one fell swoop, but now there is no movement, why?"

"How can I know this? In short, the general should not slack off." After speaking, Shangguan Muchen stood up, and was about to go to the tent.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the tent on the right burst into flames.In the barracks, those officers and soldiers ran away in fright.

"What's going on?" Vice General Lin's eardrums buzzed from the shock.

"It's gunpowder!" Shangguan Mu Chen said this coldly, with a little panic on his face, "Quickly order the troops to withdraw!"

Deputy General Lin was shocked, and opened his mouth to shout "withdraw troops!" He heard another "bang" from the camp on the left, and he and Shangguan Mu Chen rushed to the ground again, and then the fire ignited and spread to the entire camp.

"My lord," Deputy General Lin turned pale, and after standing up quickly, he said hastily, "I don't care, my lord, the incident was too sudden, and the entire tent was already engulfed by fire. Please run away quickly!"

Shangguan Muchen pursed his lips and looked into the distance. With the light of the fire, he clearly saw a black spherical thing flying towards him quickly.
