Chapter 8 The Return

Gu Zhiqian's army, who had penetrated deep into the hinterland of Wu Meng's forces, seemed to shrink the encirclement without hesitation, and pointed their whips at Hangzhou. Will automatically gave up Hangzhou, but before leaving, he took away all the grain in the city.Gu Zhiqian's army was exhausted after trekking all the way, and they began to rest when they entered Hangzhou city. The Wumeng army outside the city was overjoyed when they saw this, and planned to surround Gu Zhiqian to death in Hangzhou city.

Originally, everything seemed to be developing in a direction beneficial to the Wumeng army. Gu Zhiqian's army was running out of food and grass, and their morale was low. Just when the army outside the city planned to counterattack Gu Zhiqian's cronies and wipe out Gu Zhiqian in one fell swoop, an army came from the north of the Yangtze River. Arrived at the foot of the city of Hangzhou silently, before the Wumeng army could figure out whether it was an enemy or a friend, the city gates of Hangzhou were opened wide, and the hungry peasant army rushed out desperately, and the army that had just arrived also showed its sword , the horse neighed, and rushed into the camp of the Wu Meng army from behind.

The Wumeng army was caught off guard, and soon collapsed under the attack of the two armies, and the two armies did not rest, and chased the defeated army to Yangzhou in a fit of anger. Hurrying to go south, after half a month of running around, they were completely wiped out.

Wu Meng lost tens of thousands of elite soldiers in this battle. At this time, Fuzhou City had been besieged for two months. A death order is issued, and Fuzhou must be breached within ten days!

Before ten days had arrived, the 20 Saint King army had already built another encirclement circle around the Wu army.

Shocked, Wu Meng still forced himself to calm down. This battle is not over yet, and he still has a hundred thousand troops in his hands. Fuzhou City is already at risk. As long as he wins Fuzhou City, he will not lose.The outer battle line was too long, and it was impossible to tell the winner for a while. He only needed to concentrate all his strength on Fuzhou City, and within three days, he would definitely be able to break through the city!

However, his plan still fell through.On the fourth night of the fourth month of April in the third year of the Holy King Yuanlong, a light cavalry army of a hundred men quietly left the Holy King's camp. In front of them was the Bian Wumeng army camp that could not be seen. The hundred men did not hesitate at all, and the spears in their hands gleamed in the night. The bloodthirsty cold light headed towards Wanren Mountain in the west of Fuzhou City, and when it came out of Wanren Mountain again, it had already bypassed the outermost layer of tents of the Wumeng Army.

"kill!"

There was a sudden cry, and before the sleeping soldiers of the Wumeng army could react, a black-armored and masked army descended like a divine soldier. The spear with the breath of death streaked across the night sky, and the first drop of blood fell on the sky. Fainted in the night.

"Attack the camp!" Someone reacted and yelled at the top of his voice. The camp was in chaos for a while, and the Qingqi was unmoved, and rushed towards Fuzhou City at an undiminished speed.

Wu Meng in the middle camp immediately understood the purpose of this army when he heard the news, and hurriedly ordered to stop them, but when the order was issued, the hundred-man light cavalry was about to kill the city gate up.

"Shoot the arrows, let the arrows go!" The general who was sitting on the last line of defense was quite calm, and seeing that he couldn't stop him, he immediately ordered a volley of arrows to be fired.Qingqi, who was about to leave Wumeng's barracks, was in a melee with Wumeng's army. Arrows shot at them, and immediately there was a scream.Some soldiers who attacked the camp fell from their horses with arrows, and more often Wu Jun, who had just woken up and held a weapon with a dazed face, fell into the random arrows.

People kept falling under the rain of arrows. Only less than 30 of the hundred warriors who attacked the camp at the beginning were left, and the leader was also hit by an arrow in his left arm. Go to Fuzhou City.

Someone on the top of Fuzhou City had seen the chaos in Wu Meng's barracks, and immediately reported to Yang Zhixiao. Yang Zhixiao stood at the top of the city, watched the bloody troops coming from a distance, and ordered people to put down the suspension bridge.

"His Royal Highness! We are sent by King Xin. Please send someone out of the city from the east gate to fight. King Xin will send troops from the east to respond!" The leader shouted loudly before reaching the city gate.

This is the west gate, Wu Meng probably never imagined that just after the camp was attacked in the west, chaos would start in the east.

Yang Zhixiao thought for a moment before issuing the military order. The east gate opened wide, and the soldiers who had been trapped for three months rushed out of the moat with shouts.As for Gu Zhiqian, who was stationed on the high ground in the distance, when he heard that fighting started on the east side, he also decisively issued an order.Tens of thousands of torches were lit in an instant, and half of the sky was illuminated red. The sentries of the Wumeng army looked at the torn night in surprise. , Thousands of rockets roared through the sky.

Before the chaos in the west had subsided, the east was in complete chaos. He opened the military tent and looked at the red-hot night in the distance. Wu Meng suddenly felt a chill in his heart that spread to his limbs and bones.

The sound of fighting did not gradually subside until the afternoon of the second day. After a night of bloody battle, Wu Meng's army suffered countless losses, and a piece of military camp was engulfed in flames. Everyone was shouting to capture Wu Meng alive, and it was hard to tell whether it was in Fuzhou city or outside. In the army of the Holy King, Wu Meng was in a state of confusion. He changed into a soldier's clothes and was escorted by his cronies to flee northward.

In this battle, half of Wu Meng's army of more than [-] troops was wiped out, and the remaining defeated soldiers panicked and fled in all directions. Most of them went north. Xu Zhao, who was robbed of his head last night, heard that Wu Meng had fled. Only one confidant was left to report to the Holy King, and he led [-] elite soldiers under his command to chase him out.

Yang Zhixiao heaved a sigh of relief after accepting the siege of Fuzhou. This plan was too risky, even a desperate one. In each link, whether Xu Zhaohe can go from Shu to the north in time, and whether Zhu Shiqi will let Xu Zhaohe go as agreed Hangzhou, whether Gu Zhiqian can persist in Hangzhou until Xu Zhaohe comes, and whether Fuzhou City can wait for the rescue, as long as there is a mistake in one of the links, it will be him who will be irreversible.In order to give Wu Meng a fatal blow, he made the most dangerous move since he started his army. If he was asked to choose again, he might not have the courage.

Although the risks are high, the rewards are also huge. Wu Meng is no longer able to resist him. When he will occupy Jiangnan depends on his mood. Since then, no one in the south of the Yangtze River can compete with him.

King Mu did not return to Fuzhou. Although the tense atmosphere during the siege was gone, the atmosphere was far from relaxed. Now that King Xin made his first contribution to enter the city, they should keep a low profile and wait for news from King Mu.

During this period of time, Ji Xunyue's life was not good even though she had nothing to do. Xu Zhaohe was not in the house. No matter how much she was favored before, she was just a small concubine. Withdrew, it was a blessing that the people in the house could deliver three meals on time, and she seemed to be forgotten again, but this forgetting was pure enjoyment in her opinion.

She didn't care if Xu Zhaohe returned or not, but another piece of news made her so excited that she couldn't sleep for several nights. Xin Wang returned to the city, and his adopted son Zhilou, who made great contributions this time, has also returned to the city. The city was rewarded.

He came back, but when did he come to find himself.

Ji Xunyue was looking forward to it, and the brilliance she hadn't seen for a long time appeared on her face again.

Zhilou didn't show up right away, but he didn't make her wait too long either.

On the afternoon of the seventh day when King Xin returned to the city, Ji Xunyue sat in the courtyard with a small stove in front of him.She learned tea art in Mianyue Building before, but since she entered the palace, she has become unfamiliar. It is spring now, and the flowers in the courtyard are blooming just right. Ji Xunyue saw it a few days ago and suddenly missed the taste of scented tea. I couldn't hold back anymore, so I asked Cai Ying to find a stove teacup. Although it was a bit crude, it still followed the steps of tea art, not sloppy at all. I thought that if I practice well, I can invite him when Zhilou comes. A cup of tea.

After washing the tea, he was about to call Caiying over to have a taste, when he looked up and saw the young man standing at the gate of the yard, his mind went blank for an instant.

I haven't seen him for a few months, and he has grown a lot, and the childishness in his whole body has receded, and he is a little more calm and steady. He really doesn't look like a child anymore, but his eyes have not changed at all.

"Sister." Zhilou grinned, but didn't take a step.

"Zhilou!" Joy surged in Ji Xunyue's heart immediately, she put down the teapot, got up and went to meet her.

He really grew taller, as if he was already taller than her, but the slight upward look suddenly made her feel a little dazed.We parted in a hurry that day, but when we saw each other today, I had an illusion, as if the last time we met was a breakup, I had waited for him for a long time, and he finally came.

When he got closer, he realized that Zhilou's face was a little pale, as if he had suffered a serious illness.

"Are you unwell?" She touched his forehead worriedly, but luckily he didn't have a fever.

"It's nothing, what is sister busy with?" Zhilou looked at the stove in the courtyard with curiosity on his face.

"It's a coincidence that you came here, come and taste this freshly brewed scented tea." Ji Xunyue was still very happy in her heart, she walked back and picked up the teapot again, and looked back at Zhilou, full of anticipation.

Zhilou pursed her lips, and walked over slowly, he walked a little slowly, Ji Xunyue looked at him, but the joy in her heart gradually cooled down.Although he tried his best to hide it, she could still tell that his walking posture was a bit strange.

There was a small stool by the stove, Zhilou sat down, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and looked up at Ji Xunyue.

"Is sister not willing to offer tea?"

A playful tone.

Ji Xunyue stared at him for a while, then sat down, put down the teapot, reached for a cup, heated it, and handed it to him.

Zhilou put the cup under his nose and smelled it, and praised: "It smells so good."

Ji Xunyue remained calm, picked up the teapot, leaned slightly to pour tea for him, and poured another cup for herself.

When Zhilou drank the tea and savored it with her eyes closed, Ji Xunyue said coldly, "What's wrong with your legs?"

Zhilou froze, and opened his eyes in a panic. Facing Shangji Xunyue's cold eyes, the aura suddenly disappeared, blinked his eyes, and said cautiously: "I was hit by an arrow, and I have been raising it for a few days. almost done."

When they attacked the camp that day, Gu Zhiqian refused to let him go, but who knew that he secretly led the horse and mixed with the team, and he almost killed the city gate all the way, when the arrow rain hit him, he was shot in the right thigh and under the ribs, but Fortunately, he gritted his teeth and rushed to the city gate.After receiving the reward, he recuperated in the house. The two arrow wounds were deep, especially the one on his leg. Walking became a problem. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have endured all these days to come here.He was able to walk just the day before yesterday, but he didn't want to be spotted by Ji Xunyue. He waited for two days before coming, but he was still spotted by her. Zhilou couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. Moon sees.

"Is the injury serious? Where else is it injured?"

Ji Xunyue sighed secretly, she couldn't imagine what the battlefield looked like, but as soon as she thought of the person in front of her once brushing shoulders with death, she felt a chill, if... If he really can't come back, this time I am the only one left in the world, and there is no one to say that full of words.This is the first time she has such lonely thoughts, and it is also the first time she realizes that she has become dependent on this life.

"It's okay, it's just a small injury, it's okay."

Ji Xunyue didn't believe what he said, although she didn't know why he wanted to hide it from her, but she also concluded that what he said was just to appease herself.The softest part of her heart was touched, she also softened her voice, let's let this topic go and get down to business.

"Before you left in a hurry, there is something I want to tell you."

There was another pause, and she didn't know where to start, "Don't take what you said that day to heart, I said it in a moment of confusion, I didn't really think that way, I..."

I can't go on, I have rehearsed the words in my heart many times before, but now I can't think of it at all. She knows that what she said that day hurt him, but she doesn't know how to express herself, telling him that she is not trying to please Xu Zhaohe, tell him that he understands what he means, but he just doesn't want to involve him, so he doesn't want to leave with him?Is this what he wants to hear?

"I understand. Zhilou was impulsive. I didn't know how to think about my sister. It's not my sister's fault. What my sister said that day was not the truth. Zhilou could hear it, but she still played with her temper and made her angry with her. My sister was worried. Right. But since my sister still told me these things, I think she must forgive Zhilou."

Ji Xunyue was taken aback for a moment, Zhilou's words were beyond her expectation, how could it be her apology turned into Zhilou's apology?But facing Zhilou's eyes full of sincerity, her tongue seemed to be tied, and she didn't say a word.

"Sister, was your dance that night for Uncle Wu?"

As soon as this question came up, Ji Xunyue immediately came to her senses, and hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, that's, that's the birthday present I wanted to give you, but you've already set off, so..."

A smile bloomed from the corner of the young man's mouth, the smile filled his eyes, almost overflowing, Ji Xunyue stared at it, his heart moved inexplicably, a red cloud appeared on his cheeks, and he hurriedly lowered his head to cover it up.

"My sister's gift is so precious. I finished reading it outside my sister's door that night. This gift is not a loss. It's just that next time my sister has such a surprise, please tell me, lest I almost give it up. I'm dead!" Zhilou seemed to be very happy, stood up at once, and walked towards Ji Xunyue a little staggeringly, with his palms spread out, like a child offering a treasure, "Sister, this is a gift I bought for you. "

Above the palm is a jade hairpin decorated with butterflies. The jade color is pure and there is no magazine. It looks like a high-quality jade. : Love each other and laugh at the spring breeze.

The heart contracted violently, and a strange feeling permeated, filling the heart in an instant.

The snowy night turns into a butterfly, and the world smiles at the spring breeze.
