Uncle, I didn't mean to tease you

Under the moonlight, the elite of the Northern Army gathered quietly.

The soldiers were full of murderous intent, they were like dragons trapped in the shoal under the pressure of the past few days, eager to find a chance to show their talents.

If the surprise attack tonight goes well, it will turn the tide of battle in Beijiang.

Liu Jing stood tall, standing in front of the soldiers, holding a gleaming long knife in his hand.The blood on his armor was not cleaned, but it aroused fighting spirit among the soldiers.

Everyone knows that this battle is tantamount to breaking the boat.

The Henan camp is still being repaired, and both sides suffered heavy casualties during the daytime station. Now under the leadership of Liu Jing, the Northern Expedition Army has gradually regained its former glory. Although Henan still has the advantage, everyone knows that They won't last long.

Liu Jing led people to take advantage of the night to attack the enemy. First, he asked the scouts to unplug Henan's secret sentry, and then let the vanguard battalion abandon their horses and run to the front of the camp. on the way.

With an order, the soldiers rushed forward.

Henan didn't expect that he would be attacked that night after experiencing such a fierce battle during the day, so he was caught off guard.When the two armies clashed, Hernan suffered a great loss because of his loss.

Someone in the northern army took kerosene and set fire to the camp during the fierce battle.The weather in Beijiang was originally abnormally dry, but now with kerosene to support the combustion, the sky-high flames suddenly illuminated half of the night sky.

The morale of the Zhengbei army was greatly improved, and Liu Jing was even more red-eyed. Wherever the long knife passed, the enemy's flesh and blood were ruthlessly torn apart, and his battle armor was stained with blood. Make the enemy shudder.

After arriving in Yuzhou, Yang Zheng disguised himself as a passing caravan, went straight to the prefect's mansion at night, and kidnapped him while the prefect was sleeping soundly.

Following Liu Jing's words, Yang Zheng asked the whereabouts of General Zhongyong in the first sentence after tying up the prefect.

The prefect was very innocent, shouting that he was wronged, and also said that he admired Liu An quite a lot, and he was also very surprised that Liu An disappeared, and he would never take the initiative to harm him.

Seeing his sincerity, Yang Zheng ordered someone to chop off one of the eunuch's fingers as Liu Jing wanted.

The prefect immediately passed out crying.Yang Zheng splashed water on him to wake him up, without talking nonsense, he asked him directly, "Where is General Zhongyong?"

"I don't know..." The prefect cried miserably.

Yang Zheng raised his hand, just as the finger-cutting person stepped forward, the eunuch hurriedly shouted: "I say, I say, let me go..."

"Say, where is General Zhongyong? If you can't tell, cut off your remaining fingers and toes, and wipe your neck if you can't tell." Yang Zheng said without emotion.

The prefect cried and said: "I said I said... I really don't know where General Zhongyong is at the moment."

Seeing Yang Zheng frowned, the prefect hurriedly said: "I'm telling the truth. On the day he left Yuzhou, I sent someone to escort him. At that time... At that time, I was fascinated by ghosts for a while, so I asked someone to take him on the way..."

"And then?" Yang Zheng asked sharply.

The prefect said: "None of the people I sent to kill him came back. Logically speaking, if they succeeded, they should have returned to Yuzhou long ago, but I didn't see a single person. I really didn't lie this time. General Zhongyong is Dead or alive, I really don't know, let alone where he is."

Yang Zheng's heart sank when he heard the words, he knew that what the prefect said was probably the truth, but since Liu An was not killed by the prefect, where could he go?Moreover, the person who went to kill him has disappeared, which is unbelievable.

"Clean up the blood on the ground and find a pen, ink, paper and inkstone." Yang Zheng said, and someone responded immediately.

Yang Zheng said again: "Write a brochure to Beijing, and explain clearly the whole story of your attempt to murder General Zhongyong. I know you belong to Pan Wenjie, so you can decide for yourself what to say in the brochure. If something like this happens, You should know what to do for yourself, right?"

"I know..." the prefect said.

His calculation of Liu An was just on a whim, and he never considered such consequences at all.However, this one finger of Yang Zheng chopped off his only hypocrisy and self-esteem. Now he only wants to save his life, and he doesn't care about other things.

As for Pan Wenjie, all he did was for the other party.Moreover, he knew very well that Pan Wenjie would no longer be able to protect him after such a thing happened, so how to write this note was really worth considering.

This time, the right is to steal the chicken without losing the rice.

Yang Zheng told his subordinates to stare at him and raise his hands, while he himself left the cell.Jin Lusheng had just returned from the caravan in the city, and happened to bump into Yang Zheng in the courtyard.

"Did he say it?" Jin Lusheng asked.

"He answered after only asking twice." Yang Zheng said.

Jin Lusheng did not become relaxed when he heard the words, and asked: "He sent someone to carry out the assassination in the name of escort, is that what he said?"

Yang Zheng was taken aback, and asked, "How do you know?"

"The caravan has gained a bit. Among the guards left by the young marshal to Liu An, one of them was seriously injured after fighting with someone and fell into the river. Later, he floated to the bank and was rescued by a passing caravan. Oh, that guard was seriously injured, and he could only speak yesterday, before we arrived in Yuzhou, the caravan sent someone to send a message to Beijiang, but we didn't meet him when we took a detour," Jin Lusheng said.

Yang Zheng asked, "Did he say...how is Liu An?"

Jin Lusheng said: "I was injured, and my whereabouts are unknown."

Things hit a dead end again.

Although Yang Zheng had clues about Liu An and knew what he had experienced, he still had no clue about Liu An's whereabouts.For now, we can only find people to search everywhere, and at the same time use the power of the caravan to investigate.

Beijiang Camp, the night is already deep.

The good news from the front line never came back.

Yuzhu treated the wounds of the wounded soldiers in the tent, while Uncle Liu decocted medicine outside the tent.

After the previous plague was over, the imperial physicians had already returned to Beijing, and Uncle Liu was always worried that Liu Jing would drive him away by the way, but unexpectedly Liu Jing let him stay.

Even today, Uncle Liu is not a qualified doctor. He can do bandages and dressings for minor injuries, but he still dare not even look at wounds that are too shocking.

In contrast, Yuzhu is already a very calm military doctor.

The night wind suddenly picked up, and the fire in the medicine stove was blown a little unstable. Uncle Liu got up and changed direction, intending to block the wind with his body.

At this time, he raised his head inadvertently, but saw a group of shadowy figures appearing in the distance.He was overjoyed and shouted that they had returned.

However, the next moment, a flash of fire flashed in front of his eyes, and he noticed that the tent in the distance was on fire.Uncle Liu was shocked. He stood up and took a closer look, only to find that those shadowy figures were not wearing military uniforms of the Zhengbei Army.

Henan's army actually used the same trick as Liu Jing and directly hit the rear.

Uncle Liu didn't know anything about fighting, so he couldn't judge how Henan's army did it, but he knew that they were probably going to be more or less fierce at this time.

Almost subconsciously, he ran towards the tent, shouting as he ran.At this time, there were very few soldiers stationed in the camp, and most of them were wounded, but they were still very vigilant, and they noticed something strange almost at the same time as Uncle Liu.

So, in an instant, the entire camp was on alert.

All the wounded soldiers, as long as they still had strength, came out of their tents with weapons.Uncle Liu entered the tent in a hurry, and was surprised to find that everyone in the tent was up at this time.

At this moment, a horn came from his ear, and he realized that most of the Beibei Army would blow a special horn when there was a crisis, so everyone could prepare in the shortest possible time.

"Yatzhu..." Uncle Liu picked up a long knife from nowhere and held it in his hand, while holding the hem of Yuzhu's clothes with the other hand, he refused to let go.

Yuzhu turned to look at him, Uncle Liu was panicked, but murmured: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you, I am the son of the commander of the Zhengbei Army!"

Yu Zhu stretched out her hand to cover the back of his hand, pulled his hand away from her clothes, then held it in her hand, and said, "Follow me, don't run around."

Uncle Liu was startled, and immediately held Yuzhu's hand firmly.

Even if the soldiers tacitly divided into two groups, one group led people to meet the incoming enemy army, and the other group was responsible for escorting the wounded and retreating in the other direction.

Uncle Liu recklessly followed the man with a knife and was about to charge upwards, but Yu Zhu firmly shook hands with the man and said: "Follow me, don't run around."

The two immediately picked up a seriously injured soldier, and ran in the opposite direction from the enemy's attack.The flames and shouts of killing were left far behind.

The crowd retreated in the direction of Beijiang City with the wounded. Seeing that they had already seen the shadow of the city gate, a group of He Nanjun suddenly rushed out from the middle.

The wounded were not afraid, even though they knew they were invincible, they still drew their swords and stepped forward.

Uncle Liu has never experienced this kind of battle. Although he has a knife in his hand, he swings it out of order.If he wasn't afraid of hurting his own people, he would probably have closed his eyes and slashed randomly.

Fortunately, Yuzhu had practiced with the soldiers in the commander's mansion in the past few years, so she was not so embarrassed.It's just that he was worried about Uncle Liu's safety, and he also had to take care of the wounded soldiers, so dangers abounded all of a sudden.

Just when everyone was clearly at a disadvantage, the city gate of Beijiang suddenly opened, and a pair of city guards rushed out with torches.

He Nanjun panicked immediately when he saw this, but Uncle Liu didn't give up at the moment, he swung his knife and slashed, and slashed on the back of a He Nanjun impartially.

The other party fell to the ground suddenly, and Uncle Liu stood there in a daze for a long time.

A gust of wind passed by, Yuzhu frowned, and looked at the person who fell to the ground just now, and saw that there was fire on the person.

"There is fire/powder, be careful." Yuzhu said and pulled Uncle Liu to her side, then turned around and threw him to the ground.

Uncle Liu's mind was blank, he hugged Yuzhu almost instinctively and rolled, and his whole body fell on Yuzhu's body.

At the same time, the corpse on the ground exploded suddenly, and with a loud noise, the air was filled with the smell of sulfur and saltpeter, as well as a strong smell of blood.

Yu Zhu looked at Uncle Liu who was lying on her body through the thin night, and the other party's eyes were slightly out of focus, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

For a moment, Yuzhu felt that her eyes were red, and even the night seemed to have changed color.
