Six-tailed love

Chapter 6 Trapped
The people in Linyao City were talking about the wedding yesterday. The groom, Lin Changjing, had just paid homage to Princess Chunhua, and rushed to the battlefield before he even had time for the bridal chamber.In the hearts of the people, Lin Changjing is undoubtedly their hero, and they also feel sympathy for the newlyweds who cannot stay together.

Ye Chunhua was naturally anxious when Lin Changjing set out to fight.She knew that Lin Changjing had experienced many battles, but the sword had no eyes, and no one could tell what happened on the battlefield. Only when he came back could she let go of her hanging heart.However, more than ten days later, what Ye Chunhua waited for was bad news.

"Brother Huang, what's the matter? When will the general come back?"

"Oh, Chunhua, to tell you the truth, Lin Changjing is in trouble this time."

Ye Chunhua was startled: "What trouble has he encountered?"

Ye Tianyan sighed, and said: "This time the opponent's general is Dingyuan King of Chen Kingdom—Dongfang Bo."

"King Dingyuan? Dongfang Bo?"

"Prince Dingyuan is the uncle of Emperor Chen. He is narrow-minded, cruel and ruthless, so this time Lin Changjing is not easy to deal with. I just received the news this morning that Lin Changjing's army was besieged in Xiling City. It’s not much, I’m afraid it won’t last long.”

"Then, what should we do then? Brother Huang, help the general!"

"Chunhua, don't be in a hurry. I'll ask my father to send troops to Lin Changjing. As long as the reinforcements arrive, he will be able to return to the court safely."

Rong Ying had been hiding in the dark and eavesdropping. When Ye Tianyan left, she quietly followed him.Ye Tianyan got into a carriage after leaving the Lin Mansion. The carriage drove all the way north, but instead of entering the palace, it turned and drove into another mansion.Rong Ying saw that the words "Taiwei's Mansion" were written on the plaque at the gate of the mansion.

Ye Tianyan and Yao Qianshou were sitting in a closed study room, and Rong Ying was sitting at the same table with them, but they couldn't see them.

"The emperor has read the urgent message sent by Lin Changjing, and has ordered me to dispatch reinforcements to him."

"Are we going to miss such a good opportunity?"

"The emperor's order must not be violated."

"But last time we didn't succeed, he must have held a grudge. If we ruin the opportunity again this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get rid of him again."

Yao Qianshou sneered, but did not speak.

Ye Tianyan narrowed his eyes, and asked, "Could it be that your lord has already made up his mind?"

Yao Qianshou said: "The tiger talisman for dispatching troops, the old man has already sent people to the western frontier according to the emperor's request, but I don't know if this tiger talisman can be delivered to Lin Changjing..."

Ye Tianyan was taken aback, and then laughed loudly: "So that's the case, brilliant trick, brilliant trick!"

Rong Ying frowned, turned into a white light and flew away.

When Rong Ying found a bamboo forest on the outskirts of the city, she found a horse that was left unattended.The horse stood alone in the woods, with a saddle on its back, obviously a domestic horse, but its owner was nowhere to be seen.After Rong Ying fell to the ground, she found some uncoagulated blood on the ground in the forest. It seems that the fight took place not long ago.She walked up to the horse, asked it a few words, and then chased in the direction it suggested.

Rong Ying quickly caught up with a man in night clothes, who was carrying a dead soldier on his back, and wanted to throw him off the cliff to destroy his corpse, Rong Ying immediately fixed his body .She conjured up a veil to cover her face, then walked to the man in black and found the tiger charm from him.Afterwards, she knocked out the man in black, summoned the horse in the bamboo forest, and galloped towards Xiling City.

It has been ten days since Lin Changjing led a thousand fine cavalry to rescue the defenders of Xiling Mountain and retreated to Xiling City.If reinforcements do not arrive, Xiling City may not be able to survive.

"General, why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet? The court won't ignore us, will it?"

"No, reinforcements must be on the way, hold on for a while."

Lin Changjing's expression was so resolute that no one dared to doubt him, but he knew in his heart that the reinforcements hadn't arrived at this time, so something must have happened midway.We can't wait any longer, and we can only take extraordinary measures at a critical moment.

There is a Qingguo garrison stationed on a hill fifty miles away from Xiling City. If they can make peace with Xiling's army internally and externally, the siege of Xiling will be resolved.However, the general here, Zhao Hu, was as anxious as Lin Changjing. He also wanted to send troops, but he couldn't send troops if he couldn't find the soldiers.

While the two parties were waiting anxiously, Rong Ying had already entered the boundary of Xiling on her horse. She turned into a soldier and galloped on the only way to the reinforcement barracks.Suddenly three woodcutter-like people rushed out, but they all had murderous eyes, how could they look like ordinary woodcutters?

"Who are you?" One of them asked Rong Ying.

Rong Ying frowned: "Who are you?"

"Stop talking nonsense with him, he must be from the Qing Dynasty to send the soldier talisman. Kill him and grab the soldier talisman!"

The three of them couldn't help but attack Rongying, while Rongying undid the move, she thought to herself, could it be that Yao Qianshou sent someone to intercept it?No, not so fast.So... from the Chen country?Rong Ying wanted to get rid of the three of them as soon as possible, but she couldn't kill them, so she changed her mind, pretended to be stabbed, and fell off the horse.The three of them thought that Rong Ying was dead, they came over to take a look, they happened to see a sign in her hand, they broke her hand and snatched the sign.

"It's a tiger talisman! Go, go back and report to the prince!"

After the three of them left, Rong Ying got up from the ground, didn't she look a little hurt?

"Hmph, it really is from Chen Country." She got on her horse and continued on her way.

A small boat was parked on the Yao River at the border between Chen State and Qing State, and the sound of Cheng Ran's zither came from the boat.One person knelt on the shore and said to the people in the boat: "Your Majesty, King Dingyuan sent someone to intercept Qingguo's messenger and take away Qingguo's tiger talisman. Turned into a pool of loess."

The sound of the piano stopped suddenly.

"Suddenly turned into loess?"

The sound is as clear as the flow hitting the stone, and it seems to have a three-point smile.

"Yes, I held it in my hand, but it turned into loess in an instant. King Dingyuan was furious and killed those three people."

"Hmph, he's always been so reckless. Any news from Xiling City?"

"In the past two days, several people have been thrown out of the city one after another. It is said that a plague broke out in the city, and many people have died."

The people in the boat were silent for a moment, and then asked: "Is it like this for two consecutive days?"

"Yes, it has been like this for two consecutive days. Our soldiers dare not approach the place where they dumped their corpses, for fear of contracting the plague."

"That is to say... that area is not guarded by our soldiers?"

"It's not a big area. Our army didn't deploy much troops there. Your lord...do you think there is something wrong?"

"Heh, when dealing with people who died from the plague, they should be burned to ashes instead of being thrown away at random. It is impossible for Lin Changjing not to know that this matter is [-]% a trick."

"Then do you want to tell King Dingyuan?"

"Tell him? When did he need you to tell him? He has always been self-willed, and this sneak attack on the Qing army is also his own initiative. Why did the king intervene?"

"Then... the prince means... not to help?"

"Don't help? The emperor relies heavily on him, but the king is nearby but doesn't help him. Doesn't the emperor want to blame the king?"

"This... this subordinate is stupid, please make it clear to the prince."

"Help, of course I want to help, but...the time has not come yet."

Chen Kingdom's defenders stationed on the outskirts of Xiling City have been a little lazy in recent days. After more than ten days of siege, the city has already failed to break through, and dead people have been thrown out of the city in the past few days. Obviously, the enemy is about to attack. I can't stand it anymore.How did they know that several elite soldiers in Xiling City had slipped along the city wall to the outside of the city while they were in a state of indifference, and sneaked into their barracks.

"It's not good! There's a fire!"

A burst of panic shouts startled the slack soldiers of Chen Guo. They looked in the direction where the shouts came from, and saw thick smoke billowing from the place where the grain and grass were stored.

"Quick! Put out the fire!"

There was a fire at this end, and the Xiling city gate that had been closed on the other side suddenly opened, and the green soldiers rushed straight into the Chen Bing camp, catching Chen Bing in the chaos by surprise.The bearded Dongfang Bo rode on the horse and yelled loudly, but he couldn't stop the chaotic situation, a silver spear stabbed at him, Dongfang Bo blocked it with a big knife, and glared at the man angrily.

"Lin-chang-jing! This king cut off your head and used it as a wine jar!"

Dongfang Bo's murderous aura was soaring, and Lin Changjing's eyes were filled with coldness. After dozens of rounds of fighting between the two, Dongfang Bo was gradually defeated, but his eyes were already red, how could he admit defeat?
"My lord, let's go!"

It wasn't until a few Chen soldiers rushed over to block Lin Changjing's gun that Dongfang Bo suddenly realized that the Chen army had been defeated, and only the few Chen soldiers were left.He was shocked, knowing that if he didn't escape, he would have no chance.Under the cover of those Chen soldiers, he turned his horse's head and killed all the way.After Lin Changjing dealt with those Chen soldiers, he galloped towards the east and chased after them.

Dongfang Bo ran wildly all the way, and was about to run into Xiling Mountain. Once he ran into Xiling Mountain, it was almost impossible to catch him.Lin Changjing stopped the galloping horse under him, reached out to take out the bow and arrow hanging from his back, and aimed at Dongfang Bo in front of him.The arrow flew out with a whoosh, but at the same time, a long arrow flew in front of Dongfang Bo, one step earlier than the one shot by Lin Changjing, and hit the horse under Dongfang Bo.The horse wailed, and fell to the ground together with Dongfang Bo. Lin Changjing's arrow flew past Dongfang Bo's head.

Dongfang Bo got up from the ground and was about to curse, when he saw the arrow stuck in the ground not far from him, he suddenly understood what happened.He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, looked up and saw the Chen Guo army appearing on the hill, and immediately became hopeful, he quickly stood up and ran forward desperately.

Lin Changjing looked up at the man holding a bow and arrow on the hill in the distance, and couldn't help frowning.Deputy General Meng Cheng drove to Lin Changjing's side and asked, "General, why don't you chase after him?"

Lin Changjing stared at the mountain in front of him without moving his eyes, and he asked, "Do you know who the archer is?"

　Why didn't Rong Ying fly to Xiling?Because the road is too far away, I am tired from flying!And it would be suspicious to run such a long distance without transportation!
