The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 225 Night Attack
Is she trying to appease him?

Jiang Nian lightly touched the catkin overlapping his abdomen, stroked it a few times, and turned to look at her.

"No way, my husband is timid, unlike a lady..."

When he said this, he deliberately lengthened the ending, and then opened the window that had just been closed with his backhand.

There seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the air, and there were chaotic shouts.

Ning Yuezhao glanced over Jiang Nian, and could see from a distance that Ming Han and Yiyi on the execution platform were no longer in human form. It should be said that they were two skeletons with flesh and blood.

Such a picture... She seemed to have a familiar feeling.She was sure that she had never watched the execution scene, but just now she was lying on the couch, listening to the excited voices of the people outside, she felt that she didn't want to face it.

Although he knew that Minghan's Yiyi deserved death for what he did, but what was the unbearable feeling in his heart?

Looking at her gloomy face, Jiang Nian turned around and closed the window silently.

He just knew she was not asleep, but he didn't point it out. He thought she didn't want to see those bloody scenes.He originally wanted to open the window on purpose, and she would throw herself into his arms because she didn't want to see those pictures.But she didn't, instead she looked thoughtful, which made him flustered for no reason.

Only then did Ning Yuezhao's eyes shift to Jiang Nian, trying to find a trace of other emotions on his face, but his face was calm.

This kind of quietness is different from the gentleness of the past, with an indescribable depression.

All this while, the weird feeling she had so often ignored came back to her again.

From the Lu family case back then to the last arson case in the Green Bamboo Pavilion.He was obviously relentless when it was time to strike, so why did he act like he couldn't bear it afterwards?

How can it be so contradictory?
For a while, both of them were silent.

He didn't know how to explain, she wanted to ask if he was hiding something from her.

The silence was suffocating. Jiang Nian put his arm around her shoulders, shortened the distance between them, and pressed against her forehead, "Azhao..."

Ning Yuezhao sighed softly with three points of helplessness, put his arms around his waist, and swallowed all the doubts.

"It's time to go back to the palace. It's time for Fu Liao to give you an injection."

Seeing that she didn't ask anything, Jiang Nian felt guilty in his heart.

They are the closest couple, even if he wants to hide some things, he will inevitably show his feet sometimes.

If she had asked just now, he might have told her the reason desperately.

In the next few days, according to estimates, the news of Yiyi's execution should have spread back to Beiqi, but there was no movement from Beiqi, and the silence was disturbing.

Compared with the hesitant ministers in the court, the two chess players in Qifeng Palace are very calm at the moment.

"Did you expect that Bei Qi would swallow his anger, that's why you dealt with those two people in such a big way?" Ning Yuezhao narrowed his eyes, looking at the people who were focused on the chessboard.

"Yi Chu fought back to ascend to the throne under extreme conditions. He can endure what ordinary people can't bear. There has been no movement in the past few days, not because he swallowed this breath, but because he is waiting."

Jiang Nian's eyes moved slightly, and he made a precise move.

Ning Yuezhao picked up a chess piece and placed a seat seemingly at random.

"Are you waiting for the great chaos in the Northwest to take advantage of it?"

Jiang Nian glanced at the chessboard and smiled silently.

Ning Yuezhao has never won against him, but even though he knows that he is superb at chess and goes all out in every game, there is absolutely no reason to retreat without a fight.

At this time, on the road leading to the northwest, the army marched forward quickly and neatly.

The leader, Xiao Jingtian, held the reins tightly, with a cold expression on his face.

From afar came riding Juechen, reined in and dismounted in front of him——

"Report! General Qi, we found Lieutenant Luo's troops thirty miles ahead!"

Xiao Jingtian glanced at the sun that was gradually setting to the west, and said coldly: "Go ahead and camp at Baixipo tonight!"

At the current speed, the people on both sides will meet tomorrow.

The empress has long since rectified his name and ordered him to be an army to go to the northwest to appease the change. The news should have spread to the northwest, but according to the inquiries of the sentinels, Luo Feng not only did not stop his progress, but accelerated it instead.

The imperial army led by Yan Mo set off earlier than him, but so far, he has not found out that he and Luo Feng's troops are facing each other, as if the 3 troops disappeared out of thin air.

Several high-ranking generals under Xiao Jingtian also had doubts, because some people suspected that Yan Mo might have been assassinated, and the empress never actually sent 3 troops to help them.

This speculation was immediately dismissed by Xiao Jingtian, and he ordered his subordinates not to talk about the empress's intentions.

"Have you forgotten that the clothes and food we brothers are wearing now all depend on His Majesty, regardless of past suspicions. Your Majesty is magnanimous, how can we judge a gentleman with the heart of a villain!"

As soon as he said this, several generals were a little ashamed.

Originally, Luo Feng took care of the supplies in the Northwest Army, but now the clothes used by the troops stationed in the army are all rough and inferior products, and most of the grain stored in the warehouse has been replaced with moldy old rice.Those spare knives, guns, swords and halberds are also unusable.

For a while, the soldiers stationed near Gyeonggi were all indignant!

Luo Feng turned his back on Xiao Jingtian, and also put aside the lives and deaths of these brothers.If Xiao Jingtian hadn't arrived in time to force them to lay down their weapons and continue to fight with the forbidden army, the final result would have been that they were all encircled and suppressed by the forbidden army.And after the chaos is established, Luo Feng, who has a lot of supplies, will go all the way north, like a broken bamboo.

Although their armaments were lax, the imperial army could not do nothing to encircle and suppress them. In the end, the damaged imperial army faced the menacing Luo Feng, and the result could be imagined.

Now that Xiao Jingtian had expressed his absolute loyalty to the empress, as his subordinate, it was naturally impossible for him to clamor for dissatisfaction with the empress after receiving the royal favor.

However, the whereabouts of Yan Mo and the [-] forbidden troops became a doubt in everyone's mind.

That night, Xiao Jingtian's men camped in Baixipo.

The second watch had passed, Xiao Jingtian's armor had not been removed, he was gently wiping the sword that had accompanied him through life and death for many years, and several high-ranking generals were also sitting in his tent.

Not long after, the sound of fighting was heard from outside the tent.

A young general opened his tent and entered, reporting: "General, Luo Feng's troops really attacked at night! Now it is less than five miles away from Bai Xipo!"

The expressions of several high-ranking generals changed, and they looked at Xiao Jingtian.

"The general really knows things like a god!"

They set up camp at dusk to the west, but Xiao Jingtian ordered the entire army to be on guard all night, and also dispatched 1 horses to wait where Luo Feng must pass in the night attack.

"Report!" Another soldier came into the account and shouted loudly, "Luo Feng led the attack with 5000 troops as the vanguard. According to the general's order, his subordinates are now facing the vanguard!"

They were all brothers who were born and died, but now some of them have become rebels.Because before Luo Feng shoddy, intending to use them who were stationed in the capital as a stepping stone to destroy the imperial army, they had long been chilled and wished to catch Luo Feng and execute him on the spot.

Xiao Jingtian smiled coldly, threw off the cloth, put the sword back into its sheath, and stood up while pressing the hilt.

"Everything is still the same as the previous deployment, and I will go and capture the traitor!"

After speaking, he took big steps and stepped out.

The wind is strong at night in the northern region, and the temperature is as low as early winter.

The soldiers had brought the horses for Xiao Jingtian, he stepped on the horses, and galloped west with the cavalry in full gear.

When Xiao Jingtian led a team of elite soldiers to the battle between the two armies, the familiar atmosphere of the battlefield came over his face.

Roars, weapons clashing, flames and swords intertwined.

Looking at the men and horses fighting fiercely, under the moonlight, the chill in Xiao Jingtian's eyes became even more intense.

The soldiers led by Luo Feng were also trained by him, so naturally they were not made of paper, the troops on both sides had the intention of never ending a fight.

"Xiao Jingtian is here. If you still miss the friendship of guarding the frontier together, put down your weapons!" The powerful voice was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears through internal strength.

The people on both sides stopped their hands almost at the same time, and they stared in the direction of the sound in a daze.

"General, the general is still alive!"

A joyful voice came from the desolate battlefield, and the situation suddenly changed.

Under the light of the torch, Xiao Jingtian's face was a little unreal in the night, but the icy aura emanating from his body made many people have no doubts.

"Everyone, don't be fooled by this person. He is not our general at all. Before Vice General Luo left the imperial capital, the general had already been killed by that innocent king. Now this person is a fake!"

I don't know who yelled such a sentence, and the soldiers who were already a little shaken were also confused.

Xiao Jingtian squinted his eyes, whipped his horse, and the black steed under him led him into the position. Some soldiers tried to stop him, but the whip in Xiao Jingtian's hand was not a vegetarian, and immediately whipped away those who tried to stop him. People and horses, go straight to the opponent's camp.

The person who shouted was taken aback, he didn't expect the other party to ride his horse in front of him so quickly, so he instinctively rode his horse back.

The sword blade in Xiao Jingtian's hand came out of its sheath, and slashed off the two front legs of his horse.

The horse suddenly collapsed, and the man was thrown off the horse.

Only then did Xiao Jingtian see clearly that this person turned out to be a general who often followed Luo Feng.

"It's going to be fake?" His voice seemed to be soaked in ice.

At this time, Xiao Jingtian was in the enemy's formation, and the soldiers around him saw his face clearly.

"It's really a general!"

The vanguard officer in charge of leading the team was originally Luo Feng's confidant in the army, but he suddenly fell off the horse just now, and his calf bone was already broken.

Among the soldiers who were coaxed by Luo Feng, some of them reacted immediately and knelt down towards Xiao Jingtian.

"General forgive me!"

Just now the lieutenant general clutched his calf in pain, and shouted loudly: "Xiao Jingtian is now the empress' lackey, do you think you can survive if you put down your weapons now? The empress is narrow-minded, can you let you rebels go? ? Don’t be naive, those who know the current affairs, continue to obey General Ji, and General Ji will forget the past!”
