Nine thousand years old [rebirth]

The warm lips parted as soon as they were touched, like a butterfly skimming over the flowers, it paused for a short while, leaving a slight itch, before flapping its wings and flying to the next place.

Xue Shu's throat tightened, he subconsciously licked his slightly dry lips, turned his palms over to meet his palms, and interlocked his fingers.

Yin Chengyu didn't break free, but instead slid his fingertips on the back of his hand as if there was nothing.

He was facing the light, the overly strong sunlight coming in from the window made his outline somewhat blurred, as if coated with a soft halo, his skin was as flawless as a porcelain body under the strong light, and his rosy lips were slightly raised He stared, his eyes sparkling, as if inviting.

Xue Shu looked at him for a few breaths, then lowered his head and kissed him.

Between lips and teeth, a vague promise came out: "I will... listen to His Highness..."

Yin Chengyu raised his face to cooperate with him.

The noon sun was strong, and even the wind carried a hot and dry temperature.The window of the study room was open, and occasionally patrolling soldiers passed by, and the sound of footsteps caused a flurry of pushing and pulling.

Yin Chengyu leaned his back against the wall, and put his hand on Xue Shu's shoulder, seeming to refuse but also to hold him back.

Even the voice has a strong nasal sound: "Enough..."

"I'm very happy." Xue Shu backed away, and stopped kissing him so fiercely. The tip of his nose rubbed against him, and his lips were pressed together, wanting to separate: "I haven't had a father since I was a child. As long as I can remember, I have been My sister took me."

He held the hand on the shoulder gently and forcefully, the palm slid down against the wrist, the fingers slowly inserted between the fingers, and they were tightly clasped against the wall, sighing in satisfaction.

"It is said that there is a lot of gossip in front of the widow's house. My mother took our siblings alone, and life was very difficult. She is kind and gentle, and it is inevitable that she will be bullied. The Tartars had an affair, saying that my sister and I were bastards. My mother was afraid of getting into trouble, so she always let those people abuse her. When I was three years old, I followed my sister, caught mice and snakes in the middle of the night, and threw them at the homes of those people who slander me."

Thinking of those obscure past events, the subdued anger surged up again, arousing the hidden violence.

Xue Shu closed his eyes and went to bite him again.

Not to be outdone, Yin Chengyu fought back, licked the blood stains at the corner of his mouth, and panted, "It turns out that I haven't done anything good since I was a child."

"In the world of cannibalism, how can good people survive?" Xue Shu laughed shortly, licking off the water stains on the corner of his mouth: "Later, my sister and I got older, and no one dared to break their mouths in front of my mother... "

Whoever scolded his mother, he and his sister blocked the man and son of that family and beat them.

A bone is worth a bad word.

After that, no one dared to bully them again.

No one is born evil, but if a child without a father wants to protect his mother and live a good life, he must be more vicious than others.

The ruthlessness of that body is nothing but the imprint left by the cruel world.

Yin Chengyu sighed, stroked his eyebrows with his fingers, and kissed his eyes again: "It won't happen in the future."

There will never be such a world in the future, and he will not be made to suffer like this again.

Xue Shu gave a low "hmm", turned his face and gently rubbed the tip of his nose against his palm: "I have Your Highness."

Xue Shu already knew about Ying Hongxue, and Yin Chengyu no longer kept the secret from him, expressing his intention to recruit security.

At first he was worried about how to dispel Ying Hongxue and He Shan's hostility towards the imperial court, but now with Xue Shu, he can be a lobbyist, killing two birds with one stone.

It's just that after Ying Hongxue came down to Xiishizhai, she was very cautious and kept hiding in Fuhu Ridge near Xiishishizhai.

Fuhuling has a complex terrain, with many hills and valleys, hiding in it, it is difficult to find its whereabouts.

Xue Shu dispatched Xichang special guards to follow them for four or five days before finally finding where they were hiding.

Just when he was about to take people there himself, a spy came to report that the Red British Army had attacked——

Since Shi Hu was robbed by He Shan that day and took away nearly 3000 people, he had to temporarily change his plan and return to Xie Shizhai to reorganize his troops.It took four or five days of hard work, he used both soft and hard, and he reluctantly gave up a lot of benefits, and finally stabilized the morale of the army.

On the other side, Marquis Anyuan had already sent people to urge him twice, Shi Hu couldn't delay any longer, so he picked a day to lead his troops to attack Yidu City.

But because something went wrong in the middle, he was a bit more careful, and he fought, but he fought extremely perfunctorily—after losing a head-to-head fight with Xue Shu, he stopped fighting, and only shouted outside Yidu City Two days later, without waiting for the opponent to fight back, he withdrew his troops overnight and retreated back to Xiishi Village.

Yin Chengyu got the news and said, "Without He Shan and Ying Hongxue, the Red Army is really useless."

That is, relying on the location of Xiishizhai to be arrogant for a while.

"Your Highness wants to send troops?" Xue Shu said: "The spies reported back that Marquis Anyuan's confidantes have gone to Xieshizhai twice in the past few days, and they are probably already very anxious. If it continues like this, the second prince will not show up for a long time. I can't wait to be the hero of 'turning the tide', I'm afraid the news of his death will be sent back to Wangjing first."

There has been no news of Yin Chengzhang's fall from the cliff for so many days, so it is inevitable that he will be regarded as dead.

When the news of the death spreads all over the capital, the effect of re-enacting this scene may not be as good as expected.

"It's time to send troops." Yin Chengyu looked through the notes sent by the officials below. Pang Yi, Ding Changshun and other officials who were greedy for disaster preparations have been brought to justice, and most of the disaster preparations that were corrupted by ink have been recovered. Now he has returned Order states and counties to calculate the affected population and distribute relief food.Coupled with the relief food transferred from the surrounding granaries, it should be able to help the people of Shandong to survive the famine.

The famine is temporarily resolved, and Yin Chengzhang will be resolved next.

"Xieshizhai occupies an advantageous location, but its weakness is also obvious. There is no water and no food on the mountain. Once trapped, it will be a desperate situation." Yin Chengyu said: "There is no need to fight hard with them, you only need to lead troops to surround Xiishizhai ten times For half a month, order people to persuade them to surrender every day, and when the water supply is no longer available, the rebel army will naturally disintegrate from the inside out."

Xue Shu accepted the order and immediately went to mobilize troops to prepare.

When he reached the door, he was stopped again: "Now you are going to fight, and you can't find Hongxue in person, so I will send another person to invite her. Do you have a token?"

Xue Shu thought for a while, and said: "There is no token. If I see someone, I just say 'Frogs cry at midnight'. If it's really my sister, she will understand."

In the past, every time my sister took him out to block people in the middle of the night, she used the crowing of frogs as a signal.

The next day, Yin Chengyu summoned Marquis Anyuan and expressed his considerations: "The rebels are getting more and more arrogant, and they are determined not to let them go. Gu has already ordered Xue Shu to lead troops to besiege Xiishizhai. Supervisor."

When An Yuanhou heard that he was going to send troops, he was overjoyed at first.When he heard about the siege, he hesitated again: "His Royal Highness wants to adopt a strategy of siege?"

Yin Chengyu nodded: "Attacking the city is the bottom line, and attacking the heart is the top priority. The rebels are trapped in the unloading stone village, and there is a shortage of fresh water. At that time, people's hearts will be in chaos, so it is easy to take."

"Is... it's been a long time, and I don't know if the rebels have stockpiled food on the mountain." Marquis An Yuan tried to persuade him.

"As long as the casualties can be reduced, the time will be longer. The rebels are also ordinary people. It would be best if they can be forced to surrender voluntarily without bloodshed."

Marquis An Yuan had a bad premonition in his heart.It's just that he looked at Yin Chengyu's expression and didn't see anything unusual.

The prince has always acted leniently, he doesn't want to fight head-on, so it's not surprising that he only resorts to siege.

Suppressing the slightest misfortune in his heart, Marquis Anyuan cupped his hands: "Your Highness is wise."

……

After the pavilion left, Marquis An Yuan returned to his residence.After deliberating for a long time, he disguised himself and left the city quietly.

Yin Chengzhang, who was almost unable to stay at the farmhouse, was very pleasantly surprised to see him, and hurriedly welcomed him in: "Master Hou, but the crown prince is going to make a move?"

Marquis Anyuan nodded: "The crown prince sent Xue Shu to send troops to Xieshizhai, and soon he will go to Xieshizhai to supervise the battle in person. This is our chance."

Yin Chengzhang clenched his fists, suppressed his excitement and asked, "When will we do it?"

"In a few days."

Marquis Anyuan was cautious by nature, and always felt that something was wrong, so he wanted to wait and see for a few more days to ensure that there was no danger before attacking: "The prince wants to trap the Red British army to death, but if the two sides do not fight, it will not be good for us to fish in troubled waters. So we might as well wait a little longer In a few days, when the rebels in Xiishizhai can't stand it any longer, I'll let my confidantes in Anzhu run to fight with their backs. At that time, we will arrange our people to disguise themselves as the Red Army and attack back and forth...the prince will surely go away and never return. .”

"Once something happens to the prince, the morale of the army will definitely be in chaos. Your Highness can take advantage of the chaos and come back to save the situation. Afterwards, you only need to say that you were injured and recuperated in the mountains. When you recover from your injuries, you will rush back. If you happen to encounter turmoil, you will be able to get over it." .”

Marquis Anyuan deliberated over the plan carefully and found no omissions, so he felt a little relieved and said, "In the next few days, His Highness needs to take people to Fuhuling to wait temporarily. The three rockets are the signal to inform His Highness."

Yin Chengzhang had no answer, and after checking the plan with him again, he took people to Fuhuling that night.

Xue Shu led troops to surround Xiishizhai.

Xiishishizhai was built on one of the most precipitous peaks in Fuhuling. There are steep mountain walls on three sides, and only one side is slightly flat.

Now the only exit is surrounded, and the people who unload the stone village have no way out.

The soldiers and horses of the Four Guards Battalion set up their camps under Xieshizhai.

Yin Chengyu and Xue Shu stood side by side in front of the formation, looking up at the high village: "Cui Ci has gone."

——Because Xue Shu couldn't go in person, he had to ask his confidant Cui Ci to bring a letter with the prince's private seal to find Ying Hongxue.

In fact, he could have waited until the end of the war in Xiishizhai before looking for people, but Yin Chengyu was always thinking about Ying Hongxue's death in his previous life.Counting the days, Ying Hongxue had an accident around this time.

Although it seems that Yin Chengzhang and Ying Hongxue will not have conflicts in this life, and Ying Hongxue should not die in Yin Chengzhang's hands again, but Yin Chengyu is always uneasy, so he simply sent someone to Ying Hongxue to invite her back first, so as not to have long nights and dreams. .

Xue Shu said "Yes", with a hesitant look on his face: "I hope it goes well."

- There is a reason for his concern.

In the early years, the Jiayuguan generation was often harassed by Tartars. Taking advantage of the lack of defense, they rushed into the city, burned, killed, looted, and then retreated. When the officers and soldiers arrived, the Tartars had long since disappeared.

The local people have been suffering for a long time, and they have their own countermeasures.

Whenever they heard that the Tartars were coming, they would quickly gather up the food and other valuables at home and hide in the nearby forests.

Those Tartars couldn't find anything, so they also searched in the mountains.

The more they hide, the more experience they have.He has his own way of hiding his tracks and avoiding the Tartars.

Occasionally, when you meet a lone Tartar, you can even set up a trap to fight against looting.

It took four or five days for the guards in the West Factory to find the trace of Ying Hongxue and his party, probably because Ying Hongxue had been deliberately hiding his tracks.

If he went there in person, he would be sure to meet the person, but if it was Cui Ci, it would take a lot of twists and turns.

At this time, Cui Ci was just as Xue Shu expected, and he missed it.

He touched the ashes that were still hot on the ground, guessing that the person must have left not long ago, and then followed the traces to find them.

Just after walking for a mile, there was a sound of wind from the nearby grass forest. He had a premonition of danger, so he rolled to the side to avoid the sharp arrows that were shot, but unexpectedly, his body suddenly lost weight and fell heavily into a deep hole. pit.

As soon as he got up in pain, another net fell from above and caught him completely.He Shan threw away the bow, tightened the rope net, picked him up easily, and went to ask Ying Hongxue for credit.

"Big boss, someone caught him."

He Shan threw the rope net to the ground, triumphantly.

Recently, Ying Hongxue found out that someone had been following them to find out their whereabouts, so she deliberately set up a trap to lure the snake out of the hole.

But when she looked at Cui Ci's attire, she was a little puzzled: "Are you... from Xichang?"

He Shan was very surprised when he heard that, he turned over the rope net, trying to see what Cui Ci looked like: "This is a eunuch? Why can't you see it?"

Cui Ci was caught off guard and fell into the deep pit, and was roughly dragged all the way by He Shanzhuang in the net. He was really injured, and he heard the conversation between the two in a dizzy state. Before he could explain anything, he only called out Xue Shu. That one code word that said.

"Frogs chirping in the middle of the night!"

"What is he talking about?" He Shan was puzzled.

On the other hand, Ying Hongxue frowned, gouged out He Shan's eyes, and told him to untie the net, with a somewhat dignified expression, "Where did you hear that?"

Cui Ci got up from the ground in embarrassment, he was stunned at Ying Hongxue's face, and then quickly said: "The crown prince sent me here, I am Supervisor Xue, and I am Xue Shu's man."

He hurriedly took out the letter from his sleeve and handed it to Ying Hongxue: "You will understand after reading this letter."

After Ying Hongxue took the letter and read it, her brows were almost knotted.

When He Shan heard the name "Xue Shu", he also understood something.He knew that Ying Hongxue had a lost brother: "There is no fraud, right?"

Ying Hongxue was also thinking about this question, but only Xue Shu and she knew this secret code, so her eyes became more hesitant.

"Why did Xue Shu let you come?"

Cui Ci said: "Officer Xue was ordered to lead the troops to besiege the Red British Army, and he really couldn't escape. But he missed his relatives very much, so he could only send me here, please go and talk about it."

After speaking, he suddenly realized that Ying Hongxue was also a member of the British Red Army, and his expression became a little embarrassing.

It was true that the crown prince sent troops to besiege Xiishizhai. Ying Hongxue hid in Fuhuling, so naturally she also heard the news.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "I'll go with you."

When He Shan heard this, he became a little anxious: "Then I'll be with you!"

Ying Hongxue gave him a warning look, and said to Cui Ci: "I still have something to explain, you wait for me for a while."

Cui Ci understood the implication of her words, and immediately retreated knowingly.

Ying Hongxue looked at He Shan, and quickly confessed: "Only Xue Shu and I know this code, whether it's true or not, I have to take a look to be at ease. But you and the brothers can't take risks with me. Now the hiding place has been exposed , Fuhuling should not stay for a long time. I will take him out by a long way. You and your brothers will withdraw from Fuhuling immediately and ambush near the city of Yidu. If there is any fraud, you take advantage of the emptiness of the city's defenses and attack Yi. Capital City, when the time comes, exchange Yidu City for me."

She held back all He Shan's words, held back for a while, only held her hand, and said unwillingly, "Then be careful."

Ying Hongxue smiled, shook his hand vigorously, and walked towards Cui Ci.

Riding a horse in the forest was inconvenient, so the two went out one after the other.

Ying Hongxue was on guard, and while asking about Xue Shu's recent situation, she kept saying things calmly.

Cui Ci was aware of this, and thinking of this sister who was most likely to be Supervisor Xue, he could only talk without saying anything.

The two walked while talking, and it took nearly an hour to leave Fuhuling.

On the official road, the speed is fast.

Cui Ci had already noticed that Ying Hongxue's legs and feet were inconvenient, but Ying Hongxue refused to ask him for help, so he could only send out a signal, calling the waiter who was waiting nearby to drive a carriage to meet him.

The two waited on the official road for three quarters of an hour before they saw a carriage galloping in the distance.

The wheels of the carriage rumbled, and even the ground trembled slightly.

Ying Hongxue frowned and looked around, only to feel that the vibration under her feet was becoming more and more obvious. It wasn't caused by the carriage at all, but the whole ground, even the mountain peaks in the distance were shaking slightly.

She suddenly realized something, and ran to the open area quickly: "Run! It's the earth dragon turning over!"
