Cang Ri Qing Lan

"Brains..."

It is impossible for a person who is not familiar with this place to catch up with Zematar who is far away in the jungle, Cang Lan sighed, and smiled at Yi Yan with a not-so-worried expression: You are startled, this time the person ran away, what should I do?"

Naturally, Yi Yan had no intention of reflecting on what he had done wrong first, and rushed to him, anxiously wanting to confirm whether he was injured but didn't know what to do.

On the side, Xing Ye stared blankly at Cang Lan, everything that happened just now seemed to be a dream, except for the humiliating mark that still clearly appeared in front of his eyes, he didn't dare to infer what happened, the person he was determined to protect to the death ... A surge of self-blame blocked his throat.This is his responsibility, as a bodyguard's biggest dereliction of duty, even if he risked his life, he shouldn't let such a thing happen:

"Your Majesty, please come down!"

Cang Lan turned her head and glanced at Xing Ye who was kneeling on the ground, and took off her torn robe. Although the sword wound on her back was long, it was very shallow, far less than the old wound that had almost healed:

"... Get up, and make a note of this time in advance." He raised his hand to wipe off the blood, and said, "Don't ask me again in the future, I don't need you to remind me when I want to punish you."

"……Yes."

Standing up with difficulty, Xing Ye no longer looked at the brand mark on Cang Lan's back, because that mark had already been branded into his heart, he just stood with his head bowed and his lips pursed tightly.Cang Lan's squatting figure suddenly came into view, and he almost staggered in shock.The instigator ignored him, and neatly tore Xing Ye's trousers open to make a bigger opening:

"Fortunately, the artery was not injured," frowned slightly, "take off your pants first and deal with the wound."

"……Yes……"

With an obvious hesitant tone, Cang Lan raised her head, the man's pale face mixed with bewilderment, she slightly moved the corner of her mouth, and immediately saw a trace of tangled panic responding to him, this situation is really familiar:

"Didn't you want me to help you? I'm still angry. If your sword stabbed Zematar instead of your own leg, we wouldn't have to postpone our departure."

Xing Ye's last sword pierced his leg, and he regretted it when he woke up a little bit, regretting that he hadn't done that earlier.

And what made him regret even more was that he failed to stop that brand from appearing!Haoxuan Guang'an actually branded this kind of imprint on this person!How dare he!To him, the brand was almost branded by himself! ...It was a long time later that he realized that Cang Lan's casualness at this time had more or less saved him.

Seeing the sun slowly rising into the sky, scorching the entire desert golden, and then gradually losing its edge and sinking into the horizon, Shen Haozhe has been waiting.But Jun Hui never showed up. As time went by, the soldiers became a little impetuous, but the general was so calm that they had to calm down.

Almost when the fighting spirit of the Jun army was worn down to the lowest point, the gate of Xiaocheng suddenly opened, and the Hui army rushed out of the city wall like a dike. After setting up the formation, after a lot of fighting, they gradually lost without any suspense.

"General, the Hui army has retreated." He Jing touched Shen Haozhe's front and back with a gun, looking eager to try: "Should we chase after them and take the opportunity to reduce their strength."

"...not yet." The general hesitated when speaking: "As long as they are not allowed to break through, the orders are not to be pursued."

There was indeed something wrong, Hui Jun rushed out of the city gate more than a dozen times, but no matter which time there were too few troops, it was clear that they only came to disturb them.

Shen Haozhe understood what was wrong—why did Helian Yuya use such an obvious tactic to exhaust the enemy?Is it to let him be negligent or to lure him to hunt and kill him?He must make a judgment as soon as possible...

Perhaps the time to draw conclusions has been missed.When Shen Haozhe saw that the soldiers pouring out of the city gate greatly surpassed the previous few times, his heart sank suddenly.

Yi Yan thought that Cang Lan would be angry at Bra's betrayal, but he didn't show any displeasure, and instead offered to help them.When he persuaded them to put their chips on him and said "please believe me" with a smile, Yi Yan once again firmly believed that what he was looking at was the wolf god.No one can calmly and confidently face so many people who accuse him of bringing disasters like him, so that later the high priest Bra said that the reason why the tribe was hostile to him at the beginning was because he hadn't thought about getting them. goodwill.

"Maybe they really came here to arrest me, but isn't it already a fact that the Jing Kingdom sent troops to invade the Green Sea? You won't forgive foreigners for entering the Green Sea, right? They didn't formally negotiate with the wolf descendants, but used force Letting you submit is enough to prove that they are not your friends. There may be no loss to you by handing us over to Jing, but are they really mobilizing the army just to catch me? If I really have that value, why don't you believe me once."

Cang Lan didn't seem to think that it was too late to show his friendship now, but in fact most people couldn't understand what he was talking about. The one who was really shaken by his words was the High Priest. Bra had been involved in the wolf fight for a long time. Undoubtedly, he has to consider more than anyone else when making decisions about the size of the ethnic group:

"...Let's not talk about whether you have the means to defeat the Jing Kingdom. Handing over you is just a means to confuse the Jing Kingdom. The wolf descendant has no intention of compromising. You are also a foreign race, we don't..."

"I can enter Wolf's Valley once—according to your rules."

Cang Lan paused before Brah could say that she couldn't cooperate:

"Please believe me." The last sentence was actually spoken in the wolf-born language, and only this sentence seemed to calm everyone's emotions.

Only death and killing remained at the foot of Xiaocheng. For the soldiers at the front, the only two things they could do on the battlefield were kill and be killed.Everyone's instinct from the bottom of their hearts made them scream, and the voices mixed together and hit the eardrums, making them unable to hear other sounds except for the orders to move forward and back.

Shen Haozhe definitely has no intention of repeating the battle of Xiaocheng at the end of autumn, let alone his own army who was flanked in the middle.If the equipment for defending the city had not been withdrawn, it would be a real reappearance of the battlefield of that night.He knew that Helian Yuya had predicted that he would not attack the city, and while harassing the army with a small team, he was recharging his energy, and he was also sure that they would not be able to rush out of Xiaocheng unless most of the army was left behind...

But now Hui Jun appeared behind him—this support army really caught him off guard!

He Lian Yuya actually had such a strategy to exhaust the army?

"Yu Ya, you...you don't mean to call in the army to stockpile food and grass?!"

Bofei always thought that the eagle released by Helian Yuya was asking the king to send reinforcements, but judging by this speed, no matter what he thought, there were only a few thousand people in the grain battalion.As if seizing the opportunity, the general who was taunted by Helian Yuya the day before yesterday immediately said:

:

"Is it really an army hoarding food? If something happens to the food..."

But it seemed that he didn't hear what he had left to say, Helian Yuya remained silent for the first time.

Haoxuan Canglan must have been watching his defeat in the same place that day.Helian Yuya stood on the high battlements, overlooking the purgatory at the corner of the city. The situation there had gradually turned towards Hui Jun. Even though Shen Haozhe adjusted his formation as quickly as possible, once the balance of victory tilted towards Hui Jun It can no longer be undone.

It was a confrontation between them that if there was a slight mistake, it would be irreversible.

"We are trapped here, what's the use of food safety?" After a long while, he suddenly squinted at Bofei, and finally sneered: "Besides, is it really necessary to continue to stockpile our food and grass quantity? The enemy If our deployment remains unchanged to cooperate with us, it is not a daydream to play a very competitive role."

The daydreamer was stunned by Zhengcai, and then with a pale face, he expressed that he had understood the sarcasm in the words, but of course Shen Haozhe would not cooperate with him, but the fact that they were evenly matched made sense.

At this point, Shen Haozhe knew that the established strategies of both sides had been disrupted, and the original last move to win could only be launched in advance.

Following the rising of a whistling and shining signal, Helian Yuya's face suddenly changed, and the entire battlefield seemed to be silent. Then, on the other side of Xiaocheng, the sound of siege drums faintly spread through the huge city. .The situation that Shen Haozhe has set up for Helian Yuya here is exactly what he is most worried about - the situation where Xiaocheng is trapped inside and outside!

The high priest has a feeling of being tricked. Cang Lan did go to the Wolf Valley in Enuo, but she went with their patriarch and the clansmen. In this way, all kinds of dangerous existences in the Wolf Valley, including guarding there The wolf king at the end of the green sea food chain will not be a threat to him.In the end, even Bra himself didn't know why, so he acquiesced.

"Are you really going to follow? I don't like being held back by anyone."

"This subordinate would rather die than hurt His Highness any more."

Hearing this answer, Cang Lan's smile floated on his face again, but it was far from reaching his eyes.

Xing Ye was suddenly uneasy, but just because of his status as a bodyguard, he couldn't stay and wait for the news. Similarly, he couldn't dissuade Cang Lan from going to Wolf Valley, even the phrase "Maybe Zematar wasn't sent by Master Ye" In a word, he couldn't find a chance to say it, even if he wanted to insulate him from all possible harm so much.And whether Cang Lan changed his mind because of this assassination and decided to fight Qingling, he couldn't tell, let alone ask.

The dark sky weighs on everyone's heart. Although the Beijing army is numerous, the eyes of resentment constantly flashing in the dense forest make them feel that the entire strange and mysterious green sea is rejecting their arrival together with the wolf descendants.Fear caused the hostility of the Beijing army to expand infinitely, and they wished to eliminate these unpleasant sources immediately.

"My lord!"

Qing Ling unconsciously urged the mount forward, in front of him, Cang Lan had that smile that never seemed to disappear as before.Only now they are standing in front of the two opposing teams.

"Your Highness, for various reasons, if you don't retreat, I can only ask you to go out in the most certain way, or... stay forever." Cang Lan was still laughing when she said this, her tone was soft.

Qingling turned pale, everything he did was definitely not for the purpose of becoming Cang Lan's enemy, he opened his mouth, before Cang Lan stopped his dry voice, he raised his hand to let the people behind him help him Putting up the bow and arrow, he could no longer read the meaning of the deep color in the silver eyes:

"Don't delay any more, I don't want to hear any reason, you just need to answer whether you want to retreat or not."

"...Prince" uttered several broken syllables, Qingling finally turned around: "The whole army obeys the order immediately..."

However, before his hoarse words could be understood by the soldiers, a whistle shot across the sky above his head, and in the tense atmosphere, there was no end to thunder.The wolf-born archers were all too familiar with the sound of the clan's specially made whistle arrows, and whoever loosened the bowstring in shock, accompanied by the Jing soldiers protecting the prince, rushed out of the formation, and the scene suddenly got out of hand.

"Stop! Go back to me!"

Qingling hissed loudly, and the rusty taste immediately rose from his throat, but the voice was so hoarse that he couldn't hear it, and it couldn't reach the soldiers' ears at all.He watched in despair as the teams on both sides rushed forward and began to fight, and the calm eyes of that person in the gap between the swaying figures.

The scuffle didn't last long, and the wolf descendants gradually retreated into the forest.

In the chaos, Qingling just rushed forward desperately, chasing the white shadow in the retreating wolf-born team, completely ignoring the fewer and fewer soldiers guarding around.

When he was getting closer to Cang Lan, his horse tripped over something and fell forward suddenly, throwing him heavily on the ground, turned over and didn't care to check if he was injured, Qingling only wanted to find The shadow of the front.But to his surprise, that person didn't go any farther, but slowly backed away.

"...you" Cang Lan sighed slightly, her expression looked complicated.

A burst of ecstasy welled up in his heart, he finally gave him a chance, but Qingling's words could only be judged by the shape of his mouth:

"My lord..."

"You know why I lured the Beijing army here, don't you?"

Qingling was startled, the things that were still overflowing in her heart suddenly emptied out, just watching Cang Lan getting closer and closer,

"Anything to say? I can hear you before your soldiers arrive."

"...I... never wanted to hurt you..."

Qingling answered silently, he no longer cared and didn't want to pay attention to the surrounding situation.

"I know." Qing Ling was not the only one who was surprised by Cang Lan's answer, he was already smiling: "It's your sincerity that blinded me. If it wasn't like this, I wouldn't be able to hide many things from me."

"I……"

"Is it your intention to send me to Jing as a hostage? You want me to avoid Haoxuan Guang'an..."

"Tell the emperor, you are the one who has Shen Haojin in my mansion, right? To make Shen Haozhe support your actions."

"Then...the reason why you came to Lvhai to look for me this time is also to bring me back to Jing Kingdom."

"My lord...! Come back to Jing Kingdom with me, you can't go back to Jing Kingdom, Haoxuan Guang'an has already usurped the throne! I..."

"I know." Cang Lan was still very calm, so calm that Qing Ling felt that he didn't believe what she said at all.

"Haoxuan Guang'an dared to blatantly mobilize troops to arrest me. It must be that the conspiracy is already on the line, and Feng Yansheng is willing to stand on his side, there must be other forces - the most likely is Beiling, which is the closest to the royal capital. He should have activated it as soon as he returned to Beijing, right?"

"But as for why he insisted on rebelling... Judging from the fact that he will borrow the power of other countries, our emperor, my dear brother, may be wearing an ugly crown."

Qingling's face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, he couldn't see the slightest emotion from Cang Lan who stated these things,

"Do you want to protect me so much?"

Qing Ling wasn't sure if she nodded, and finally there was something unclear in Cang Lan's eyes:

"Actually, I shouldn't ask. You have already made your choice. The prince of the Jing Kingdom can indeed get more things than the Minister of War. But I am not someone who can follow others..."

Cang Lan slightly lowered her eyes and smiled silently:

"If you want me so much, if you want me to submit by any means, then beat me first."

Qingling loudly denied it in his heart, as long as he could stay by his side, he could give up everything, but the wound in his throat seemed to be mixed with sand, the pain made his whole chest tighten, but he couldn't make a sound, and Cang Rand had stopped reading what he had said:

"It's time, Qingling...we should say goodbye."

There was a voice behind him, Qing Ling stared at Cang Lan with wide eyes, something cold passed through his body, his heart was in pain like a broken heart, he couldn't figure out what was the reason... He stretched out his hand to grab it. Cang Lan in front of him was easily pulled away, the cold tentacles slipped from his fingers, and warm liquid continued to fall down his chin, and he couldn't tell whether it was tears or blood. They were all used to watch the back of Cang Lan leaving, watching him blur rapidly.

Cang Lan never looked back, this time he chose a completely different method from the last time, he didn't want to confirm to his heart whether it was right or not.

At the end of winter and early spring, there was actually a light snowfall, but this time it was only in the green sea, and Cang Lan was startled by the snowfall until it melted on his cheeks and slid down.

In the spring of the second year of Huang'an in the Dali calendar, Shen Haozhe, the great general of Yuanwei, fought against Nanhui's right prime minister, Helian Yuya Xiaocheng.Emperor Haoxuan of Dahuang Emperor Guang'an commanded an army at the bank of Jishui to meet the coalition forces of Beijing and Xue. He was defeated and moved to the capital.Ye Qingling, the prince of the Jing Kingdom, led the army to subdue the wolf-born clan. He was defeated and his life was in danger. Therefore, the Jing army occupied the seven cities in the northwest of Jishui and did not send out troops.Linxue has a total of nine cities on the left and right of Jishui, which is comparable to the Junling coalition forces.One-third of the territory of the Great Emperor Dynasty has been lost, and the north and the south are separated, and each does not care about each other.
