The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 180 Unexpected change
Because of Ye Junyan's sudden situation, in order to chase Ye Junyan back, all the people followed Ye Junyan, running east and west, causing a commotion. On the mountain in the distance, there was a sentry who was closely observing the movement down the mountain. Seeing the changes at the foot of the mountain from a distance, he frowned and reported back to the leader in charge.

"What did you say? You don't want to run in the opposite direction? What's going on? Did they find out?" A burly man said in the report of the sentry tonight.

The person next to him looked at the search team that was wandering around, frowned and said, "It doesn't make sense, their search team hasn't left yet, so it's impossible for them to find us from afar."

"But now they have obviously retreated. If these opportunities are missed, I don't know if there will be another chance in the future. What should I do?" The burly man asked anxiously.

The other person glanced at the crowd rushing down the mountain, frowned and said, "Don't you think they are running in a strange direction? You don't seem to be a hind leg, you seem to be chasing something for some purpose?"

The burly man glanced at the running crowd, and said disdainfully: "Maybe they are using a trick to make us think that they are chasing something, and they don't really want to retreat, so as to prevent us from chasing, maybe they stay behind." The search team below is also a cover-up, used to confuse us."

The person next to him, after contemplating for a moment, said: "It is indeed possible, whether it is or not, first send someone to kill the search team, and contact the other side of the mountain to discuss countermeasures."

"Okay." The burly man said, and he ordered a subordinate next to him to take dozens of people to surround the search team on the side of the mountain, and send people to the top of the mountain to send a signal to the opposite side. Condition.

After listening to the report, Li Gaoxiang couldn't tell whether the other party was really retreating with a blind eye, or was really chasing something, so he bowed his head in silence for a while, and finally decided to chase down the mountain. Just in case, he must not main idea.What's more, no matter whether the opponent is retreating or has other reasons, Ye Junyan must be among them. As long as Ye Junyan is there, they are worth pursuing.

On the contrary, if you choose to let go of this opportunity because you are afraid of falling into the trap of the other party, if you let the night escape, or let them return to the southern border to ask for help, then your mission will be considered a failure. I will never let myself go.

Li Gaoxiang originally hoped that after the opponent entered his trap, he could save some manpower and sacrifice less, but now it seems that he can't take care of these anymore. Besides, the opponent's number and training quality are not as good as his own, so it should be difficult to deal with them. It will be too difficult.

After making the decision, Li Gaoxiang ordered both sides to chase down the mountain at the same time.

The crowd chased Ye Junyan, chased and chased, and suddenly they couldn't see Ye Junyan. Li Mu became anxious and ordered the crowd to disperse and search everywhere. Ying Shui'er and Ying Lian also helped to search around.

After searching for a long time but still not finding it, Ye Junyan was in the cave, listening to the shouts of the crowd outside, turning a deaf ear to it, and after an unknown amount of time, Ye Junyan fell asleep unknowingly.

And not long after Ye Junyan fell asleep, Li Gaoxiang also rushed over with a team of thousands of people, and rushed the already scattered and disorderly team even more scattered. After a while, more than one-third of the people were killed or injured.

Some of them walked farther, but they couldn’t find Ye Junyan after walking a long distance. They thought that they were going in the wrong direction, so they turned around and came back. As soon as they returned to the original place, they saw corpses everywhere. When they figured out what was going on, they chopped or shot with a knife or an arrow. In less than half a day, the team led by Li Mu was almost wiped out.

However, Li Gaoxiang took people to clean the battlefield carefully, but he still did not find Ye Junyan's body. Li Gaoxiang muttered to himself: "Why is there no Ye Junyan? Could it be that he ran away long ago? Or did he not die at all?" Didn’t you leave Southern Border? Have all of us been tricked by the High Priest?”

A handsome young man next to him stepped forward and said, "What should we do now? Should we tell the prime minister first, and then make a decision."

Li Gaoxiang hesitated for a while and said: "Well, send someone to notify the prime minister immediately, just in case, to avoid Ye Junyan, using these people as bait to mislead us to retreat and then pass, we will stay here temporarily and wait for the prime minister Your Excellency's further instructions."

After Li Gaoxiang finished speaking, he cast his eyes on the other small leaders in southern Xinjiang. They looked at each other and nodded, and said to Li Gaoxiang: "The prime minister actually ordered that this operation is all up to Mr. Li, and we will just let it go." Master Li dispatched."

This sounds modest and polite, but Li Gaoxiang doesn't think so. Li Gaoxiang thinks that these people are just trying to shirk their responsibility. If the superiors blame them, they can say that all actions are under Li Gaoxiang's command , even if there is a mistake, it is Li Gaoxiang's fault, they are just following orders.

Thinking of this, Li Gaoxiang couldn't help cursing in his heart: "M, who said that the people in southern Xinjiang are bloody, loyal and brave, and they are straight-hearted. I think they are playing tricks, and they are no worse than ours in Zhaoxuan Kingdom. .”

But I wanted to think about it, but I couldn't say it out of my mouth, so I could only force a smile and say: "Okay, then I will send someone back to Southern Xinjiang to notify the Prime Minister, and several team leaders will lead people back to the mountains on both sides. Leading people, ambush here, if Ye Junyan reappears, he will be intercepted and killed at both ends, so that he can't escape."

"Okay, everything is up to Mr. Li." After the little bosses in Nanjiang finished speaking, they turned around and led the people to the hills on both sides. Looking at the backs of everyone leaving, Li Gaoxiang's eyes were full of contempt, and his heart was full of contempt. He said silently: "Listen to me, M's, it's nice to say, but I don't know if I have credit for everything?"

After muttering indignantly in his heart, Li Gaoxiang sighed and asked people to clean up the corpses on the ground, so as not to be discovered by those who came again and dare not pass through.

After disposing of the corpse, Li Gaoxiang ordered everyone to lie in ambush in the forests on both sides to hide their whereabouts.At the same time, they sent people back to southern Xinjiang to report to Prime Minister Ran Hai about the situation here.

Ying Shui'er and Ying Lian searched for a long distance, but seeing that Ye Junyan was nowhere to be seen, they turned around to look behind them, and the people who followed them had already retreated one after another, leaving only the two of them , looking forward like a headless chicken.

Seeing that the sun has set to the west, and soon, the sky will be dark. In the mountains and forests ahead, there is no bottom, let alone how many beasts and dangers are hidden. When the two were nervous, they suddenly felt A gloomy cool wind blew, and the two looked at each other, each swallowing their saliva.Ying Lian said, "Shui'er, if you go further, you don't look like someone. Your Majesty, he shouldn't have come so far."

Ying Shui'er glanced at the dark and deep forest, nodded and said, "That's right, it shouldn't be, we won't run so far, why don't we go back and discuss it with Master Li after seeing Master Li?" Where to find it?"

Ying Lian nodded quickly and said, "Yeah, this is the best way. There are many people and strength, and it's easy to find people."

"Well, then let's go back!" Ying Shui'er said while pulling Ying Lian to turn around, and started to go back the same way.

When the two passed by a small river, they found several dead bodies near the small river. The two were startled. When they got closer, they found that the dead people were the team escorting the emperor through the clothes they were wearing. And looking around, there are many dead bodies in front of them, most of them are people in the team protecting the emperor, and there are also some people who are dressed in black or gray clothes and cover their faces.

The two immediately realized that something must have happened.Ying Lian almost blurted out: "What happened? Why are all the people dead? Let's go over and see if Mr. Li and the others are still there." Ying Lian said and ran to the place where she stopped before.

Ying Lian had just run two steps, when she was grabbed by Ying Shui'er, Ying Shui'er frowned and said: "Wait, something is wrong, I'm afraid there is an ambush in the place where we are resting, and now we are in a trap .”

Ying Lian took a breath and said, "You mean, Mr. Li is already in danger?"

Ying Shui'er nodded and said: "It's probably not wrong. The other party may have ambushed nearby and set up a trap. We threw ourselves into the trap last week, but then the emperor ran away suddenly and attracted everyone to chase him. The other party must have thought we discovered it. They wanted to retreat, that's why they rushed over, they dared to act, they must be sure, so, Lord Li's team is probably completely wiped out now."

"Ah!" Ying Lian couldn't help but cried out softly, and quickly asked: "Then what should we do? Shui'er, why don't we go back to the southern border and report to the high priest? Fortunately, the emperor did not fall into their hands. Hurry up and grab the high priest and send more people to find the emperor."

Ying Shui'er lowered his head, frowned and thought for a while and said, "However, if you go back to southern Xinjiang from here, it will take you and me to walk back without a horse or a car. Wouldn't it take several days? During these few days, Anything can happen, the emperor is mentally incomplete now, if he doesn't know how powerful it is, he may accidentally bump into the opponent's ambush, and then we will become sinners of the two countries."

After hearing this, Ying Lian couldn't help but feel a chill down her back, and asked anxiously, "Is it really going to be this serious? We...we are just slaves in charge of serving the emperor, so we shouldn't risk our lives for this, right?"

"The emperor is alone, and the two countries are stable physically and mentally. Now go back rashly. Don't say that we can't prove our innocence. Even if everyone is willing to believe me, just one charge of unfavorable escort is enough to kill you and me ten times." Ying Shui'er Almost helplessly sighed and said.

After hearing this, Ying Lian sat down on the ground and began to cry: "Everyone is slaves, why is our life so hard? I thought that following the emperor to Zhaoxuan Kingdom would lead a good life, why is it halfway through?" I'm about to put my life into it, if I knew it was like this, when the high priest asked, I would not take this job, woo woo woo" Ying Lian began to cry as she spoke.
