Feng Mou Tianxia: General Yuhua is very enchanting

Chapter 11
Xi Xi frowned: "Before I hooked up with you, I heard soldiers gossiping about you behind my back. In order not to damage your reputation, I avoided it. Originally, I didn't care about these things. If you are hesitant to talk to me Yes." Yan Xi has been in the army for many years, and she is still different from those who abide by the etiquette in the court, but when it is time to pay attention, I still pay attention to it, because I see that Wuya doesn't care, so I have these actions.

Wu Ya pulled out the folding fan, then opened it and placed it in front of Yan Xi: "Don't forget the fan you agreed to."

Yan Xi looked down at the plain white fan, and smiled: "After tonight's work is done, I will be with you, don't worry."

Wu Ya stretched out his hand to hold Yan Xi's left hand: "I'm not in a hurry, and I'm not worried about your repudiation. I just want you to remember what you owe me, and there are many, many more."

Yan Xi was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly showed a gentle smile, with a little doting: "Yes... yes, I will never forget that I owe Wuya a lot."

Wu Ya let go of his hand, took the night clothes in the package next to him, and turned behind the screen.

Yan Xi continued to eat, and saw the person behind the screen come out, Yan Xi got up and picked up the night clothes, after changing, she sat in front of the dressing table and rolled up the black hair that hung loose on her shoulders.

Wu Ya took out a black hair tie, Yan Xi reached out to take it, but saw that he changed his hand by mistake and pressed it on the bun she had made.Yan Xi let go of her hand and let Wuya tie her hair.

"Go directly to the city wall tonight?" Wu Ya asked softly.

Xi Xi looked at Wuya's slightly drooping side face in the mirror: "Yes, the ballista is on the city wall. Now is the time when they have just handed over, and they are in good spirits. After another hour, the soldiers guarding the city will gradually become exhausted. , it’s a good time to do it.”

Wu Ya lowered his hand: "How long will it take to fix it?"

"When it's time for a stick of incense, can you buy an incense for calming the nerves?"

"Naturally." Wu Ya took out a wooden box from his bag and handed it to Xi Xi.

Xi Xi took it and opened it, saw a small piece of incense in it, and hurriedly closed it: "Very good, then in another quarter of an hour, we will leave and go to the city gate to check it out."

In the middle of the night, only the voice of the watchman was heard on the road.Yan Xi and Wu Ya leaned on the eaves of the tower, observing the situation below.

Seeing that the captain guarding the city had just left, the two threw the dyed Anshenxiang into the gun tower.

"Just watch!" Yan Xi said nervously, after finishing speaking, she turned over and entered the gun tower, where two or three soldiers had already fallen asleep.Yan Xi tiptoed in, carefully moved the mechanism under the ballista, then opened it little by little, and bent down to get under the ballista.

Wu Ya, who was guarding above, was vigilant about the situation around him. There was a new moon in the sky, so the night would be much darker. It was a good time to do it when the night was dark and the wind was high. , Wu Ya is really not sure.After all, the current Yan Xi is no longer the famous General Huoyun, and he doesn't have a hundred thousand troops in his hands, and he doesn't even have the minimum title of title.Almost self-made, this is a very serious challenge, but since it is Yan Xi, then he Shui Wuya is willing to follow, and the only person he approves from the beginning to the end is Yan Xi.

Thinking this way, they saw the people below striding out and made a gesture to themselves, so the two got up and ran to the next blockhouse.

There were four ballistas in Longcheng, and the first three were successfully solved. When the fourth one was reached, Wu Ya, who was really going to do the same, was stopped by Yan Xi.I saw Yan Xi frowned, pointed at the people below and said in a low voice: "It's General Fan."

"Why is she here?" Wu Ya raised his eyebrows.The general can't stay in the general's mansion, what are you doing in the gun tower on the city wall in the middle of the night?
Xi Xi pondered for a moment: "I'm afraid I know the coalition forces of Wu and Qi, so be on guard in advance." Before Wu Ya could speak, he saw Xi Xi jumping up and jumped down. Wu Ya frowned, but could only stay Watch from above.

"Who is it!" Fan Sukui yelled, and looked in the direction where Yan Xi had landed.

Yan Xi waved her hand: "General Fan, long time no see." Step by step, she walked to the light.

Fan Sukui gasped: "Huo...General Huoyun."

"I'm no longer General Huoyun, Sukui." Yan Xi showed a kind smile.

Fan Sukui frowned: "Are you a human or a ghost?"

Yan Xi pointed sideways at the shadow on the ground: "I am a man or a ghost, didn't General Fan see Qingming by himself?" The smile was light and breezy, as if it was just a chance encounter with an old friend.

Fan Sukui stepped forward quickly, looked Yan Xizai up and down carefully, and then sighed: "Fortunately, you are fine."

Seeing the joy in Fan Sukui's eyes, Yan Xi gained a little confidence.The reason why I couldn't lead the soldiers back was because the soldier talisman was stolen, and there was no soldier talisman. Even though the soldiers recognized him as a general, they couldn't follow a general who didn't have a soldier talisman in the face of the oath of loyalty.I didn't want to fall into the predicament of those soldiers being unfaithful, so I chose my own destiny alone, but this time it was different. Seeing the army attacking, it was different for me to take back my own army and take back the country of the Ji clan , this is saving the country.

"How is General Fan these days?" Yan Xi greeted Fan Sukui leisurely.

Fan Sukui smiled wryly: "Now that the country has been given to that thief, how can it be good?"

Yan Xi pursed her lips, and suppressed a trace of guilt in her eyes. The Yue Kingdom has become what it is today and has nothing to do with her, and it is precisely because of this that she should take this responsibility even more. Yan Xi pursed her lips: "Su Kui can Will you help me?"

Fan Sukui's eyes widened, because every time Yun Jingyue was mentioned in front of Yu Xixi, she avoided it, but now that she took the initiative to bring up this topic, Sukui's voice trembled a little: "General... the words of the general... are... ..."

Seeing that Fan Sukui was moved, Yan Xi bit her lip, this step must be cautious, if she said that she belonged to Wu country, with Sukui's sincerity, she might not agree.

After straightening her expression, Yan Xi took another step forward and looked at Su Kui intently: "Su Kui is willing to plot against me." This sentence was terrible, and a crack exploded in Su Kui's heart like a thunderbolt.

Sukui's heart trembled, and she swallowed her saliva: "General... general... can Rong Chen consider it?"

Looking at Sukui's expression, Yan Xi's heart was a little bit drummed. I have to say that now Yan Xi is still a little bit confused, and she is a little unbelievable about her current impulsiveness, but if she doesn't do it now, the sooner the better for many things , the more you delay, the easier it is to fail.

Xi Xi stretched out her hand and patted Su Kui's shoulder twice: "Don't be afraid, Su Kui, I never thought of forcing you. It's okay if you don't want to speak up. Now, even though the internal worries of the Yue Kingdom have been eliminated by Jing Yue , but this foreign aggression..." Yan Xi did not continue, for the military defense of the Yue Kingdom, losing General Huoyun is like losing a protective barrier for the country, if no one can be found to replace him, I believe it will It won't be long before the land of Yue State will be divided up by Wu Qi and even a family outside the Gobi.

Fan Sukui raised her eyes: "General, it's not that Sukui doesn't want to help, it's just that the Yue Kingdom can no longer hold on..." When she said this, Sukui's eyes were filled with tears, her trembling body was weak. She slipped and fell to the ground, and she looked up at Yan Xi: "I only found out last month that Yue has no military pay, the treasury is empty, and there is no defense at all against the iron cavalry of other countries. Wu Qi two The Allied Forces will arrive soon, for the sake of the people of Longcheng, I am ready to surrender."

Yan Xi took a deep breath: "General Fan, what do you say?"

"The Yue Kingdom has long been unable to sustain itself. The general has been fighting abroad all year round. How could he know that the Yue Kingdom has been suffering from severe drought in the past few years. Only Longcheng can barely support it, and the surplus is also given to the Imperial City. Except for these two places, the Yue Kingdom will not be able to survive. There is no room for people." Fan Sukui choked up every word.

"My military salary..." I have dealt with Murong Lian in the Gobi for the past few years. Although it was hard work, at least the military salary has never been cut off. Naturally, I never thought that the country of Yue would be so miserable.

Fan Sukui lowered her eyes: "It was given to you by the late emperor after using the annual birthday banquet and reducing the palace's expenses, and part of it was the silver taels from the Yun family."

"The Yun family?" Yan Xi asked in confusion, why did the Yun family pay this tael of silver.

"Although it was paid by the Yun family, Master Yun Jingchou wanted to pay the money himself." Fan Sukui said hesitantly, because Jingchou never wanted this to be known by Yan Xi.

"Jingchou?" Yun Jingchou is the young head of the Yun family, so he can naturally take out this money, because the salt industry of the Yue Kingdom has been handed over to the Yun family for many years, but Yun Jingchou took out the accumulation of the family business for so many years Doing military pay for yourself must have met with a lot of opposition.Xi Xi suddenly felt that after knowing so many things in one night, the Yue Kingdom could no longer hold on, so all the plans he had made at the beginning were useless, and it was really unbelievable that the Yue Kingdom could do all these things: "This is why no other country has received any news about these things?"

Fan Sukui hesitated for a moment, and seemed a little reluctant to mention it: "Except for Longcheng, the Yue Kingdom is locked and no outsiders are allowed to enter."

"Is no one escaping?" Yan Xi's eyes widened, suddenly realizing that the motherland she was so familiar with had become so strange.

"Because there is a plague..." This sentence almost exhausted all of Sukui's strength, because the plague was so serious that almost everyone who knew about it died of the plague, which is why the news did not spread. .

Yan Xi sat paralyzed on the ground and murmured: "Is this the sky that wants to destroy my country?"

Yan Xi exhaled, and reorganized her thoughts: "Is there a reason for the plague?"

Fan Sukui shook her head: "I don't know, but the plague usually occurs in places where the drought is the most severe and the food shortage is the most, so it did not affect Longcheng and the imperial city."

Yan Xi frowned, then stood up, and then helped Fan Sukui: "Then, Sukui, since the Yue Kingdom is about to perish, what is Jingyue King doing to seize such a country?"
