Chapter 97: Dark clouds crush the city

When Ye Tianling left early in the morning, Qing Chen fell asleep so hard that he didn't hear a sound. After waking up, there was a moment of emptiness in my heart, but I touched something warm and cool on my hand. I saw that it was the profound jade dragon charm.
It's not that he forgot to bring it, it was specially reserved for her to keep it. The dragon symbol is a very important thing. At this time, Ye Tianling left this to her, just like her husband exhorting "I will leave it to you at home" before going out, and Qing Chen smiled slightly with his hand touching the flying lines. .
The army briefly rested and then set off, and once again camped on the border of Jizhou. There has been a military report before, and the Xuanjia Army successfully captured Moyang, and it can cooperate with the army to form a siege in two days at the latest.
Because he is still in the army, Qing Chen usually wears a long gown and hair. Yin Caiqian begged Ye Tianzhan in every possible way, and was finally able to stay, but he didn't even take off his armor all day long, and he didn't lose the man on horseback and archery.
At dusk, when the lights were turned on in the morning, Yin Caiqian suddenly remembered something after staying in Qingchen for a while, and dropped the sentence "I'll go to Brother Zhan" and no one was seen.
Qing Chen shook his head and smiled. With nothing left or right, he took a bamboo branch on the ground to easily evolve the formation taught by Zuo Yuansun. From time to time outside the tent, the wind blew the curtain and shook the curtain. Suddenly a whirlwind swept something into the military tent, and the lights flickered before the case.
Qing Chen unintentionally used force in his hand, and the bamboo branch snapped softly, unexpectedly breaking before his eyes.
Her heart jumped suddenly, feeling a little uneasy for no reason, frowned and looked at the vertical and horizontal formations on the ground for a while, got up and walked out of the camp.
The setting sun over the long river on the horizon, the setting sun is like blood, the new wind blows on the face, and the desert is like weaving. The army is stationed along the river, tens of thousands of military tents are rolling up and down, hunting with long flags, all looming in the twilight.
She stopped in front of the tent and looked around, and suddenly there was a distant sound of flute in her ear.
The sound of the flute is flying on the desolate land of northern Xinjiang, but the sadness of drunk lying on the battlefield and burying the bones of a foreign country is not seen. The heroic of the sword long song. Qing Chen listened intently, forgetting that it was cold and windy for a while, and the moon-white jade belt fluttered with the wind, brushing her face from time to time, and the last afterglow of the setting sun slowly receded into the depths of the earth.
The sound of the flute drifted away, and slowly fell silent. Qing Chen looked at the army commander camp, a smile on her lips through the dark twilight.
Someone was talking in front of the camp, Qing Chen turned his head and saw that Wei Changzheng was walking with someone.
Wei Changzheng approached and leaned slightly: "Wang Hao, the Chinese Army has sent two teams of guards to strengthen defense."
Qing Chen had seen two more teams of guards in front of the camp with armor and swords. The man in front of him stroked the hilt of the sword and bowed and said, "The last general Wu Zhao has seen the princess!"
Qing Chen recognized him as the deputy commander of the guards next to Ye Tianzhan. Looking at the manners of those guards, they were all from the guards of Ye Tianzhan. He smiled and said, "I don't actually need so many people here."
Wu Zhaogong said: "This place is too close to Jizhou, I am afraid that in case of an emergency, only half of the guards of the Four Highnesses are currently here, so the final will be ordered to protect the princess. It is windy outside, the princess should take a rest. ."
Qing Chen didn't say anything any more, and then returned to the account with a "work".
The night was dark, and it was quiet for a while. There were no other people walking around in front of the tent. You could almost hear the crackling of the campfire licking the wood outside. Qing Chen calmed down, flipped through the book to look at it, stroking Xuezhan lying on her body.
Xue Zhan leaned on Qing Chen's knees obediently, pursing her ears slightly back and was very comfortable, but suddenly she propped herself up and listened.
Qing Chen raised her head, there was footsteps outside, and she vaguely heard someone scolding: "Wu Zhao, you are so bold! Even I dare to stop!"
The voice was far away across the camp, and it sounded like Yin Caiqian. Ye Tianzhan's guards all recognized the Yin family's lady, and naturally knew her stubborn temper. How could they really stop her? Sure enough, immediately after the curtain was lifted, Yin Caiqian entered the account.
She was brought into the tent by a cold wind, Qing Chen smiled and said: "Come here now, don't you want to sleep with me again?"
Yin Caiqian lifted the cape of the cloak down, her exposed face was slightly ruddy with a bit of cold air, but her eyebrows and her brightly illuminated under the lamp showed a hurry and panic expression. She walked to the front of the case in a few steps: "You still have the mind to laugh with me, something happened to your Highness!"
Qing Chen was startled, and his smile solidified: "What's the matter?"
Yin Caiqian hurriedly said: "They met the Turkic army! Knowing that the general situation is over, Yu Su colluded with the Turks and secretly sent 300,000 Turkic troops into the pass to counterattack Moyang. They only had 10,000 Xuanjia army..."
Before Yin Caiqian finished speaking, Qing Chen stood up abruptly. Xue Zhan was frightened and jumped away from the side in embarrassment, Dengying shook for a while, her heart seemed to fall down fiercely, giving birth to the panic that suddenly stepped into the valley, 300 thousand Turkic army!
The flustered feeling struck me for a moment: "When did it happen? Who will report it?" Qing Chen asked immediately.
The sudden sharp light in her eyes frightened Yin Caiqian: "It should have been an urgent report before nightfall. I came out from Brother Zhan and overheard them. They locked people up and wanted to hide the matter. With the help of the Turkic hand, the Fourth Highness was put to death!" Her voice trembled slightly, not knowing whether it was shock or fear.
This news was even more shocking than the former. Qing Chen clenched the book in her hand tightly, feeling cold all over her body: "Has it been delayed in the middle of the night, and the Chinese army is not moving?" She threw the scroll on the case and walked out quickly. Go, but was stopped by Yin Caiqian. "Where are you going? You can't get out like this! Wu Zhao and the others were ordered to trap you and Mr. Zuo in the camp separately under the guise of safety. If they didn't dare to be presumptuous, I wouldn't be able to come in. You change my clothes first Go out, don’t blame Brother Zhan, he didn’t send someone."
It's no wonder that the Chinese army suddenly wants to send additional defenses, and finds such a high-sounding reason, so people do not suspect him. Qing Chen took the cloak that Yin Caiqian handed over, but didn't put it on, and her heart whispered: "Does King Zhan know about this? Who gave the order?" She asked in a deep voice, almost in her tone. Cold composure.
Yin Caiqian shook her head: "I don't know if Brother Zhan received the urgent report, it seems that they have not, they are..." She hesitated for a moment, as if she didn't want to tell the person, Qing Chen said coldly: "Gong Sicheng !"
Yin Caiqian was just silent. Gong Sicheng was a member of the Yin family after all, and she couldn't help but ask, "Why are you here to tell me?"
Her calm and deep gaze instantly coincided with a person's eyes in Yin Caiqian's eyes, so similar eyes, cold light hidden deep, penetrated through the lungs, Yin Caiqian seemed to feel a kind of silent pressure, which was irresistible, and replied: "I don't want four. Your Highness, there's... there is something wrong with your Highness Eleven. You can think of a solution, the Turkic 300,000 troops will be too late."
Qing Chen stared at her for a moment, then handed her the cloak again: "You go to King Zhan now and try to let him know about this."
Yin Caiqian hesitated, and said something she didn't want to say: "What if he knew it?"
Qing Chen closed his eyes slightly, took a breath of cold air, and opened his eyes: "If all the orders are given by him, you will try to make the matter worse, at least to disturb Shi Zhonghou and Xia Bufeng."
Yin Caiqian lowered her head for a moment and bit her lip slightly: "Okay! I listen to you, what do you do?"
"We split up, and people outside can't stop me."
After Yin Caiqian left, Qing Chen quickly recalled the military plane map he had read thousands of times. The situation near Jizhou was never as clear as it was at this moment, and the topography of the city was vividly visible.
After a while, she got up and said, "Long March!" Wei Changzheng was surprised that she was going out at this time, and said, "Is the princess have something to order?"
The Xuanjia guards of the Ling Palace were still near the camp, and the people Wu Zhao had brought were all on the outskirts. Because of this, they could stop the people from the camp at a distance, making it difficult for Wei Changzheng and others to detect the abnormality for a while.
Qing Chen glanced in the depths of the dark night: "Take someone and follow me!"
Wei Changzheng only listened to his tone and knew that something was wrong. He stopped asking more questions and immediately led others to keep up.
At this time, Qing Chen's heart was deep-fried, extremely anxious, winning or losing on the battlefield is often only an instant, perhaps it is too late at all.
No one thought that Yu Su would make this dangerous move in the end, and the Turks would have this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to eliminate Ye Tianling first and then attack the Central Plains. As for Ye Tianzhan, Qing Chen didn't dare to bet, and didn't have time to guess whether he had made the determination to clear his opponent.
She can't afford to lose, he is a lover who looks like a jade in front of Xianyu Lake, and is also the king of Zhan who has a high mind and a sea.
She has no time to ponder the role and purpose of anyone. There is only one person's shadow in her whole heart, that life, her birth, that person's death, and her death.
With all kinds of tactics rolling her mind, she tightly held the mysterious jade dragon charm in her hand. No matter what Ye Tianzhan's attitude is, she has decided to deploy the army to support in the shortest possible time at all costs, only looking forward to Ye Tianling and November 11 Can rely on the brave support of the Xuan Jia army to that moment.
Sure enough, Wu Zhao led someone to greet him: "It's so late, where is the princess going?" He was still in that respectful tone, standing with his eyes down, but blocking his way, the words still remained in the end. There was something strange.
Qing Chen smiled coldly, his face blurred under the campfire: "Do I have to get permission from Chief Wu where I go?"
In the face of this sudden reproach, Wu Zhao was slightly surprised, but he still stood in front of him: "At the end, I think it is too dangerous outside, so please go back."
"Are you asking me or ordering me?" Qing Chen walked forward without stopping, "Get out of the way!"
Wu Zhao took a step forward and stopped his way: "If there is anything wrong with the princess, it will not be easy to explain!"
"You don't need to explain. Since you are here to protect me, you can follow along if you don't worry!" Qing Chen went straight forward. Wu Zhao stood in front of her with a look of suspicion under the cover of the armor, and suddenly a pair of moonwhite boots broke into his vision. The scent of water and orchid brushed his face, so shocked that he raised his head in a hurry, but just as the campfire flashed, Qing Chen's slightly hanging phoenix eyes flashed across his eyes like a blade of light on the bright spot of the fire, reaching his heart. , Clear cold like autumn water, condensation like a blade.
Wu Zhao almost took a few steps back in embarrassment before he avoided colliding with her. Qing Chen regarded him as nothing, and moved forward step by step. Wu Zhao was helpless, and then retreated hurriedly. The other guards around were swept away by Qing Chen's gaze. No one dared to raise their heads and look at each other, let alone offensively blocking them, and retreated to the side.
The coldness in Qing Chen's eyes forced Wu Zhao: "Long March, if anyone dares to be presumptuous, don't be polite!"
After Wei Changzheng and the Xuanjia guard he led by pressing the hilt of the sword to protect him, Wu Zhao had no choice but to finally step aside. Qing Chen flicked the sleeves of his robe, and walked away. The white clothes that had disappeared into the dark night flew dazzlingly, like a sharp whip that flew before Wu Zhao's eyes. There was a chill in the wind behind him, and he was already in cold sweat.
Seeing Qing Chen leading people straight to the Nangong camp, Wu Zhao angrily smashed the hilt of the sword, and shouted: "Report to Mr. Gong to know!"
In the camp, Zhong Dingfang, Feng Changjun, and Shao Xiubing, who were close to the Yin family, were all sitting in front of the case. On the contrary, Gong Sicheng, who had always been calm, cut his hands and couldn't stop walking, seemingly full of thoughts.
Since the dispute caused by Li Bu that day, Gong Sicheng has been worried. Since the Emperor of Heaven can even deliver the Dragon Talisman to King Ling, it is difficult to say whether there will be more things after that. He has been classmates with Zuo Yuansun for many years, and he knows that Zuo Yuansun is a person with arrogant disposition and heavy old feelings. Since King Rui met the incident, he has been discouraged and retired, and rarely interacts with others. Although Zuo Yuan-sun came here for Conan Xu, he obviously has an extraordinary relationship with King Ling. These two incidents made him vaguely aware that he was a bit unusual. The battle in Northern Xinjiang was the military power, but now he thinks of it. The slightest certainty.
"Mr. Gong!" Feng Changjun asked, "What are you worried about?"
Feng Changjun and the others are different from Nangong Jing and the others. Their titles are all hereditary, and their status is somewhat similar to that of the imperial family members of the Imperial Forest Army. The clock set Fang played with the delicate ornaments on the sword, and looked up: "After all, the things tonight are still hidden from your Royal Highness. Sir, it makes sense." Having said that, there was nothing wrong in his tone. Meaning, it brings out a bit of carelessness.
Gong Sicheng stopped: "I'm not worried that your Highness will know that even if this matter is reported to the Shuaiying, your Highness will naturally know the pros and cons of it. Instead, it will save your Highness from embarrassment through our hands."
"What does the gentleman worry about?"
Gong Sicheng was silent for a moment, and let out a sigh: "Ling Wang's methods are extraordinary. If he fails this time, I am afraid there will be no such opportunity in the future."
"Humph!" Shao Xiubing coldly snorted, "It's just that humorous woman who made some trouble. The first emperor died young because of her misfortune, and I don't know how the emperor became obsessed with that woman. No matter how powerful King Ling is, he is also of half a foreign race. What qualifications does he have to compete with His Highness?"
"General Shao speak cautiously!" Feng Changjun was more steadfast among the group. Although Shao Xiubing's words were also his thoughts, the misfortune came out of the mouth, so it's better not to talk about such taboos.
Gong Sicheng also gave Shao Xiubing a cautious look, but he couldn't help but sighed again. Even so, the emperor might not think so!
He was frowning and thinking, suddenly Wu Zhao lifted the tent and hurried in. Obviously there was an urgent matter. Even the generals in the room greeted him: "Mr. Gong, something happened over there!"
Gong Si was surprised: "What's the matter?"
"Princess Ling learned of the urgent report ahead and took people out of the camp!"
"What?" Gong Sicheng couldn't help but raise his voice slightly, "Where did you go?"
"The direction is Nangong Jing's big account."
Gong Sicheng was extremely upset: "I said long ago that Nangong Jing shouldn't have stayed at the time!"
Zhong Dingfang stood up: "Go and stop them right away, don't make things happen!"
Shao Xiubing threw the jade pendant in his hand: "I led people to seal the way out. If they don't believe it, they can still break through!"
Gong Sicheng raised his hand to stop: "You can't commit such a big fanfare, just one word is enough-drag! It has passed midnight, even if the Xuan Jia army has the ability to reach the sky, how long can it resist the 300,000 Turkic army?"
