060. Two imperial edicts(1/2)
The day after coming to Jiannan City of Beihu, Ye Ling met Gui Hao again.
Gui Hao was outside the door and confirmed that Ye Ling was wearing a mask before he entered. His old eyes looked at Ye Ling a few times, and he laughed: "I slept well last night?"
Ye Ling nodded: "It's okay."
Gui Hao sat down: "You will follow me in the future! You know my status in Beihu. When I lead the Northern Hu cavalry to flatten Nanchu, it can be considered as avenging you!"
Ye Ling lowered his eyes and said nothing, Gui Hao didn't care. He is a man with great martial arts skills and power. He loves the most in his life, and is a beauty.
When Gui Hao thought of Ye Sheng's daughter, the widow of Zhan Wang, who would become his woman in one month, he was very proud and could already imagine the envy of other men in Beihu!
"What do you need? Even if you tell them, I am very busy next time and will come to see you when I have time." Gui Hao got up and went out after he finished speaking.
I'm very busy next time? Ye Ling knew what Guihao was busy with, and she was looking forward to it...
Yesterday, Beihu and Nanchu signed a truce agreement. Two days later, a general from Beihu led the Beihu army to cross the border and attack Qingyun City!
In Qingyun City, the main general Luo Yan stood on the city tower with a solemn expression and shouted: "Beihu is all villains who are not credible! Our Nanchu just doesn't like war and hopes to stop the war, so we are definitely not afraid of them! The soldiers obey orders and defeat the Beihu barbarians back to Jiangbei! This time we will give them a profound lesson!"
Luo Yan's words greatly boosted morale.
On that day, Luo Yan personally commanded and defeated the North Hu army's sneak attack plan, and blocked the North Hu army outside Qingyun City.
Luo Yan led his army out of the city to fight, and was extremely brave and fought the soldiers from Beihu all the way to Wujiang. He watched them rush to Jiangbei like a pile of sand, and fled in panic.
The army of Nanchu cheered, saying that Luo Yan had no choice but to do anything. Because the attack on the northern gate of Qingyun City this time was a trick, more troops were around to the weakest defense of the Xicheng Gate. If Luo Yan had not deployed it in time, it would have been a big trouble.
Luo Yan listened to everyone's praise and compliments, and a satisfied smile flashed in his eyes. Of course, he knew that Beihu was going to hit the Xicheng Gate because Gui Hao sent him a message in advance, which was the content of their transaction.
Next, Luo Yan can counterattack on the grounds that Beihu tore up the truce agreement, take the initiative to provoke, and send troops to attack Beihu!
The opportunity to make achievements has finally come! Luo Yan looked at Wujiang in front of him, full of confidence.
Two more days later, Luo Yan personally led the army of Southern Chu across the Wujiang River and began a "counterattack battle" against Beihu.
Ye Ling, who was in Jiannan City, was arranged by Gui Hao to retreat to the city behind after the war started.
Nanchu concentrated its firepower and spent a day and night. After a fierce battle, he successfully captured Jiannan City. The Beihu army abandoned the city and retreated!
The morale in the Southern Chu army was high. Luo Yan, who had never really taken charge of the overall situation under the shadow of Ye Sheng and "Yun Yao", fought a beautiful battle of reputation and settled his position as the leader with his outstanding "military strategy"!
Ye Xun had no place to use his skills, and he could not return to Beijing without summons. He didn't see anything wrong, but just looked at Luo Yan, who had been following Ye Sheng and was inconspicuous at all, and now the villain was successful.
As for the Princess Ye Ling, who was sent to Beihu a few days ago to quell the war, no one cares whether she is dead or alive.
The soldiers of Nanchu were immersed in the joy of victory that Luo Yan led them to, and were ready to pursue the victory, vowing to teach Beihu a painful lesson!
Ye Ling, who poisoned herself, lived a peaceful life in Beihu.
Gui Hao was cooperating with Luo Yan's acting, and the deployment and defense map of the ten cities in the northern part of Wujiang had already reached Luo Yan's hands. Beihu planned to set up a long line to catch big fish, and these ten cities were bait for Nan Chu.
Every time the army of Nanchu came, Gui Hao arranged for people to escort Ye Ling to retreat.
After a few days, when he retreated once, Ye Ling knew that Luo Yan had "striked" another city in Beihu.
Ye Ling has read all the books she brought from the capital. She is busy practicing qigong regardless of day or night. The first level of Xuanyin Heart Method has been successfully broken through, but there is still a long way to go before becoming a local internal power expert.
The news of the outbreak of the North-South Battle soon spread throughout the world. Within ten days, Luo Yan led his army to capture the three cities of Beihu, with no plans, and his troops were used like a god, and his good news was constantly sent back to the capital of Chu.
The whole country of Chu was filled with joy and encouragement.
The people are talking about the name "Luo Yan". Many people say that Luo Yan will become the third god of war in Southern Chu after Ye Sheng and "Yun Yao".
Some people even said that Luo Yan's merits will surpass Ye Sheng and "Yun Yao". Because he is so powerful! It is "Yun Yao", who is regarded as the god of war, and his best record is to capture two cities in ten days, which is inferior to Luo Yan.
Border news has been frequent, and many officials in Chujing have predicted that when the war is over, a third king of different surnames will be produced in Southern Chu.
Chu Jing fights the palace.
Yun Xiu returned from outside with a deep expression and went to Xue's yard.
"Mom, something is wrong!" Yun Xiu sat down with his brows tightly.
"What's wrong?" Xue, who was originally chanting Buddha's name, opened her eyes, put down the rosary in her hand, and looked at Yun Xiu and asked.
"Everyone is polite Luo Yan as the new god of war! No one cares about how Ye Ling is now!" Yun Xiu looked worried, "If she went to assassinate the commander of the Northern Hu, why would there be no news after she got to the hands of the Northern Hu people? Since Luo Yan won the battle, why didn't he take the opportunity to rescue Ye Ling?"
Xue frowned: "Xu'er, call her sister-in-law."
"Mom, when is it now? Why do you care about what I call her? Besides, I didn't say it before..." Yun Xiu felt that Xue was too cold.
Xue said in a deep voice: "I said that if she promised to be with you, I would not object, but she has not agreed yet. You are uncle and sister-in-law, and etiquette cannot be abolished!"
"Okay! Call her sister-in-law! What should I do now? Things are very different from what we expected! Could something happen to her? Or was Luo Yan just cares about winning the credit and doesn't care about her life or death?" Yun Xiu was anxious.
"Is there any news in the palace?" Xue asked with a frown.
Yun Xiu shook his head: "No! The emperor is afraid he is very happy, so he forgot Ye... sister-in-law! Mom, except us, no one cares about her life or death now! It would be too late if we don't save her!"
Xue was silent for a moment and someone took her imperial edict.
"Mom, I will accompany you into the palace and ask the emperor to see you! Let the emperor put pressure on Luo Yan, and you must rescue your sister-in-law!" Yun Xiu said, clenching his fists.
Xue opened a box with a lock and took out a golden token from it. A trace of sadness flashed in her eyes: "This is your elder brother who asked us for his life. Perhaps, I should have taken it out long ago when the emperor asked her to go to Beihu. But she herself was too determined and refused to let us interfere in her business."
"Mom, I think something is wrong. Something must have happened to her! Let's go!" Yun Xiu urged Xue.
Xue held the gold medal of avoiding death in her hand, wore an imperial uniform, and asked someone to prepare a carriage, and took Yun Xiu out toward the direction of the palace.
On the way, Xue asked Yun Xiu: "Is there any movement in Lingyunyuan?"
Yun Xiu shook his head: "Mom, you don't know. My sister-in-law's sister-in-law's brothers all rely on her to live. After my sister-in-law left Beijing, Ye Ying had never left Lingyunyuan. Ye Jing at most took the child to the garden to play and didn't go out at all. They didn't even know what happened outside, so what could they help?"
Xue sighed slightly: "Don't blame them, it's not easy for them to get to this day."
Yun Xiu frowned: "The most difficult one is obviously the eldest sister-in-law."
When the carriage from Zhanwang's mansion arrived at the palace gate, Xue handed over the sign and asked to see Emperor Chu.
The mother and son waited outside the palace for about two quarters of an hour. Emperor Chu ordered them to go back without seeing each other.
It was cold and the ground was frozen. Xue held the gold medal of avoiding death, took Yun Xiu, and the mother and son knelt down at the door of the palace.
After receiving the report, Emperor Chu sent his father-in-law around him to deliver the message.
"Old lady, Mr. Yun, you guys should go back quickly!" The old eunuch sighed, "The emperor said that at any time, the overall situation must be the priority. The old lady should understand this principle. It depends on her own luck when fighting the princess!"
When Yun Xiu heard this, he couldn't help but feel angry: "She is the daughter of Ye Sheng and the wife of the King of War. How can the emperor ignore her life or death?"
The old eunuch looked unhappy, and Xue scolded Yun Xiu: "Stop talking!"
"Old lady?" The old eunuch called Xue again.
Xue said with a calm face: "Xu'er, help your mother up."
"Mom!" Yun Xiu refused to get up.
Xue's hand was supported by the ground, and the old eunuch helped her. She stood up, her knees trembled slightly, and then said to the old eunuch: "Young and energetic, father-in-law, don't take it to your heart."
The old eunuch laughed: "It's okay, I'll say when the slave goes back, that the old lady takes the young master's house."
Xue nodded and went to pull Yunxiu. Yunxiu was stammering his neck and kneeling but refused to get up.
"Xu'er, come back and find a way!"
As soon as Xue said this, Yun Xiu slowly stood up from the ground and helped Xue back.
As soon as he returned to the royal palace, Xue asked the housekeeper to invite Ye Ying.
As soon as Ye Ying came, Yun Xiu told her all the rumors outside, and also expressed their concerns, believing that Ye Ling is in a very dangerous situation now.
"Xiao Ye, what do you think?" Xue asked Ye Ying. She had liked Ye Ying in the past and had originally thought about letting Ye Ying marry Yun Yao.
Ye Ying lowered her eyes: "Thank you for your care for your younger sister, but let her solve this problem by herself."
"You!" Yun Xiu was annoyed, "She is your real sister! How could you be so cold-blooded when she takes care of you and your children like that?"
Ye Ying ignored Yun Xiu and stood up and said, "If there is nothing else, I'll go back." After saying that, he left.
"Mom! Ye Ying is really too much! I really didn't expect her to be such a person!" Yun Xiu clenched his fist and smashed the table hard.
Xue looked at Ye Ying's back and frowned and said, "She is not the kind of person you think!"
"Why isn't it? Listen to what she said just now, what's that?" Yun Xiu looked angry.
"Let's not worry about this matter." Xue said, and picked up the rosary beads next to him.
"Mom!" Yun Xiu was almost anxious, "Didn't you say you'll find a way back?"
"There is no way." Xue shook her head and closed her eyes, "Ye Ying's way of doing this means Ye Ling is fine."
"This..." Yun Xiu didn't expect Xue to say this.
"You go back, calm down for a moment, don't go out, let alone go to Qingyun City! Otherwise, don't blame me for not recognizing your son!" Xue said coldly.
Yun Xiu's expression froze, his face darkened. He walked to the gate, turned back, went to the gate of Lingyun Courtyard, and asked Ye Ying to come out.
"What's the price?" Ye Ying stood in the corridor and asked with a faint expression.
"Have you received the news from Ye...sister-in-law?" Yun Xiu asked.
"Her affairs have nothing to do with you." Ye Ying turned around and returned to the room. In fact, Baili Su told her about the news outside. The current situation is indeed very different from the initial plan, but Baili Su said that the plan should have changed. If Ye Ling is really in danger, the mute slave will take action, so that she should not be too worried.
Ye Ying was very worried, from the beginning to the present, but she chose to believe in Ye Ling instead of being distracted. What she should do now is to take good care of her younger brother and child, and wait for Ye Ling to come back and not cause trouble for her.
