Chapter 25

Yan Xi sighed: "That's all, I just want to know now, is it true that my mother died of illness?"

Jingyue met Shang Yanxi's gaze firmly: "It's a death."

Yan Xi looked at his serious expression, and pulled out a smile: "Remember what you said today, if the Queen Mother's death is really not because of you, then the account between us can be written off after this incident is over."

Jingyue lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Yan Xi bit her lip: "I have something to ask you to do."

"But it doesn't matter."

Xi Xi said in a deep voice, "Find a trustworthy and skilled craftsman to make an identical copy of that thing... no, there is a slight difference, and only we know about it."

Jingyue pursed her lips: "Understood, please leave this matter to me."

Yan Xi lowered her eyes, the value of this thing being used now is really too high, the Empress Taizu really gave it a good move.Yan Xi looked at Jingyue beside him, since the eldest son of the Yun family has been burdened with all this for generations, why is Yun Jingyue the only one out of the ordinary.Did he really do all this just for his own ambition?Or is there another reason?Thinking of this, Yan Xi shook her head, what was wrong with him, how could he find a way to excuse Yun Jingyue by himself, and he still didn't give up after being tricked by him so much, if there was really something hidden, he could tell it by himself, so why bother? I am here to help him make excuses.

Yan Xi got up and left Jingyue's room. From the beginning to the end, Yun Jingyue didn't say a word.

Yan Xi is really tired, and interacting with Yun Jingyue really exhausts her physically and mentally, every time she has to guess what he is thinking and what he wants her to do.Perhaps Yun Jingyue's situation appeared because the eldest son of the Yun family was burdened too much, but in the end, Yan Xi didn't want to guess any more, so she simply didn't know if she didn't know.

Ten days later, Yan Xi and Yun Jingyue set off, traveling to Huawu in a bullock cart in order to conceal their identities along the way.Speaking of which, according to the letter sent by the vanguard a few days ago, Murong Lian did not prohibit the residents from entering the city, nor even forbidding the residents to leave. Huawu City was already full of barbarian soldiers, and the number far exceeded the initial five Thousands, and the entire Huawu's gold, silver and grain were left to be plundered by them.

Although Yan Xi and Yun Jingyue had already guessed that this situation would happen, what they didn't expect was that Murong Lian let go of the people of Huawu City. According to their past style, they would definitely kill the men and take the women away. , the children were sold as slaves.

As for the reason why Murong Lian did this, let's not talk about it for now, judging from past experience, Murong Lian should be waiting for an opportunity to enter the Central Plains.The barbarian territory is desolate, so they have always coveted the resource-rich Central Plains.They have always had such ambitions, since the time of the Fire Phoenix Empire and even earlier.

Yan Xi sat by the fire at night, and Yun Jingyue beside her was just looking at the map in her hand intently.

"Is there anything you care about?" Xie Xi asked.

Jingyue raised her head, shifted her gaze to Xixi, and then handed her the map: "I heard that you have an excellent military adviser by your side, and I should be able to tell something from his words. It’s really not very good at it.”

Xi Xi took it and spread it on her lap, well, generally speaking, she is responsible for defending the city, but now defending the city has become a siege, but it is not easy to simply explain the strategy.However, after seeing the map, Yan Xi noticed the back mountain behind the imperial city. Originally, she wanted to attack directly, but now she has people lurking in the back mountain, which is convenient for observing the situation and making a surprise attack.If possible, Yan Xi didn't want to destroy the palace, but now Murong Lian is staying in the palace.

Fire attack is a commonly used method of war, convenient and powerful, so it is listed as the first choice. After all, the imperial city is full of wooden buildings, and fire attack is the best choice.

Yan Xi raised her head and asked, "How many war horses can you prepare?"

"Because we have to hide our identity and go forward, it's not convenient to send the horses there." Jingyue frowned slightly.

Yan Xi shook her head: "If you want to make a surprise attack, the cavalry is the number one combat force."

Jingyue was startled, and he stood up hastily: "I understand, I'll find a solution right away. How much do you need?"

Yan Xi frowned slightly: "You probably won't be able to bring much for a while, you can bring as much as you can, because you are cavalry, you can stay away from Huawu."

Yan Xi bit her lips, she was too careless, she didn't even have the most effective cavalry, but she forgot that the opponent was Murong Lian who had the strongest cavalry.

Yan Xi turned her head to the side: "Adjutant Zhang is leading the cavalry, just leave the horses you brought to her."

Jingyue nodded and quietly left the team.

Jingyue has been away for three days, and Yanxi and his party have already traveled half of the distance. He came back in a dusty suit, which surprised Yanxi. In the impression that he is always meticulous about his appearance, he has never seen him appear in front of him with a disheveled face. .

"What's going on?" Xie Xi asked nervously.

Jingyue nodded: "It's done. The horses are placed in the back mountain of the imperial city. The man who trains the horses will stay there. If the horses are scattered, it will not be easy for people to notice."

Yan Xi's eyes flashed, it seemed that he also noticed the back mountain that was suitable for hiding.Yan Xi pulled Jingyue up: "I've wronged you for running around for so many days."

Jingyue's body trembled, this was the first time Yanxi spoke to him in a gentle voice after meeting again, he knew that what he had done had hurt her severely, and he thought that he would never see her smile at him again.

Yan Xi was also a little uncomfortable, she turned her face away: "I...I mean, you have worked hard."

"It's not hard work, all of this is for the country of Yue." Jingyue shook her head, and couldn't help but take Xixi back and hold her hand.

Jingyue's hand was always cold, Yan Xi looked down at the back of his white hand, her throat moved, and she still pulled out her hand: "Yun Jingyue, I'm tired, you should go and rest too."

Jing Yue withdrew her hand and clenched her fists after watching Yan Xi turn around.

Yan Xi stared blankly at her familiarity, and sighed with a wry smile: "I still can't forget it? I'm such an idiot!" However, when Yun Jingyue said that he was for Yue Guo, Yan Xi didn't think he lying.But if he was really for Yue, why did he seize the throne of the Yan family? Yan Xi would never believe that the mother emperor would really pass the throne to Yun Jingyue, that mother emperor who is gentle and values ​​the people would do such a thing matter.

Time passed quickly, and the group of soldiers pretending to be refugees sneaked into Huawu. There were many empty houses, and there was a place to live.

Every day there were hordes of barbarian soldiers on the street, and it was overwhelming. This number of patrols did not include those in the palace, and Murong Lian seemed to have most of the soldiers stationed in the palace.

Now there are about 1 "refugees" resettled in the deserted city, because they dare not arrange too many people, and among these 1 people, hundreds of children are also arranged to confuse the public.The combat effectiveness of these 1 people is insufficient, but they can achieve a good surprise effect.

Yan Xi quietly went up the back mountain, night fell, today is the beginning of the month, everywhere is pitch black, especially on this forested mountain, in order to hide, they dare not light a fire.However, it is a good time to do it, because the stars are extremely bright tonight, showing the fine weather, and the wind is blowing in gusts. Such a strong wind is simply God's help.

Wrap the horseshoes with cotton cloth, and enter the city carefully. The soldiers defending the city were shot and killed by the archers before.And next, the 1 people hidden in the city will deal with the patrolling barbarian soldiers.

He led five hundred cavalry straight to the palace, and shot at the buildings of the palace with oiled arrows. With an order, rockets shot towards the wooden buildings.

Taking advantage of the wind, the fire became more and more intense, and seemed to be uncontrollable. Yan Xi waved his hand and led the team to retreat, while the other soldiers followed the order to withdraw from Huawu City as early as the moment they saw the fire igniting.

This fire not only burned the entire palace, but also affected the entire Huawu City. Even the bibliography on the back mountain was ignited by the sparks brought by the wind. This kind of autumn, when it is dry, is the best way to attack with fire. good timing.

Safely set up camp five miles away in front of Huawu City. There are no trees around, so there is no possibility of being affected.

But watching the barbarian soldiers fleeing from Huawu City in a hurry, they were relentless, killing one by one, and killing two by one.

Until Murong Lian rushed out with his most elite troops in a panic, and they fought a bloody road. These soldiers of his were obviously invincible, so they could only barely entangle them.Knowing that Murong Lian saw Yan Xi's face glowing red in the flames, she was not wearing any armor, but was riding on a horse in a coarse embroidered skirt, looking at him quietly, with a beautiful smile on her lips.

"Xi Xi!" A surprised call, followed by another: "Xi Xi." She gritted her teeth, and naturally understood who was responsible for the embarrassment at this time.

Yan Xi cupped her hands leisurely and said: "Murong Lian, this time I have accepted. It can be regarded as revenge for the raid on my Huawu City last time!"

Murong Lian took off his helmet and angrily threw it in the direction of Yanxi, but turned around helplessly, withdrew from Huawu, and fled towards the west where the Gobi is.

Others want to chase, Yan Xi raised her hand: "Don't chase anymore." First, if you want to take Murong Lian's head, you don't know how many soldiers will be lost, and the Yue Kingdom is currently extremely short of manpower, so it is impossible to do such a thing. unfavorable thing.Secondly, Yan Xi feels that Murong Lian has not been eliminated yet.Getting rid of Murong Lian means that the general Yan Xi dominates alone, so Wu and Qi are likely to join forces to attack Yue.Originally, because Yan Xi had been entangled by Murong Lian, the other two countries did not resist the existence of Yan Xi too much.

Xi Xi recalled the soldiers, because the entire Huawu City was destroyed, and everyone else sat on the ruins and had a meeting.Yan Xi ordered people to quickly spread the news that he had expelled Murong Lian, and then asked Yun Jingyue to restore Huawu City. This place is very suitable for a capital city. It is next to the canal, and the food transportation is also convenient. It is used as a capital city. Good place.
