Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 184 The Silent Oath
Seeing such a large army, Shen Yuexi's first thought was that Xiao Zhuo's dream was about to be shattered.

According to Xiao Zhuo's plan, he wanted to take Xiliang as his foundation.Unexpectedly, she just came to Xiliang with her husband, and Jingzhou has already sent troops to attack without doing anything.

At the moment Xiao Zhuo doesn't even have a single soldier in his hands.And Meicheng, king of Xiliang in Yongwei, sent his son to attack the northern city occupied by the Xirong people, completely unaware that there was a fire behind him.

"Master, this army deliberately avoided the main road and chose to take this desolate and uninhabited mountain road." As a soldier of the Xirong, Qiang Lin could see the problem at once. To make a fuss, we can only sneak attack on Yongwei."

"Then what should we do?" Shen Yuexi looked nervously at the army at the foot of the mountain.

She couldn't make a decision at the moment, so she simply asked Qiang Lin.

If he went to inform Xiliang's defenders and let Xiliang take precautions in advance, he would be helping Mei Cheng and his son.

Xiao Zhuo said that the culprit who framed him may be the Xianfei Mei Dai.Although it is still uncertain, as Xiao Zhuo's wife, how could she help the Mei family who framed her husband and killed her husband and mother.

If Mei Dai is really the one who framed Xiao Zhuo, it would not be an exaggeration to call it a great hatred.

But without notifying the Xiliang defenders, how could Xiliang's remnants and defeated generals be able to withstand the attack of the Jingzhou army.The Xiliang army was defeated, and it was also impossible for Xiao Zhuo himself to come back.

She had seen Xirong's [-]-strong team, and also seen the [-]-strong army. She also followed Xiao Zhuo to attend Xiao Beiheng's banquet, and watched the [-] Dingbei Army's camp.No matter which army it is, it cannot be compared with the army in front of it.

An army of this size far surpassed any army she had seen before, probably no less than [-], not counting the ones that hadn't appeared at the end of the horizon.

Qiang Lin pondered for a moment, looked at her and asked solemnly: "What is the prince's attitude towards Xiliang?"

Before Shen Yuexi could answer, Li Wan grabbed her hand and said in fear, "Madam Shen, let's leave quickly. So many troops will come and take us away."

Hearing what Li Wan said, Shen Yuexi did what she wanted and sent secret guards to escort her down the mountain first.Only she and Qiang Lin were left on the top of the mountain.

The next words are important.

Xiao Zhuo has only told her what she really thinks about Xiliang, and she is very clear that this is not a joke.Now that Qiang Lin asked, she considered whether to tell Qiang Lin the truth.

If you choose not to tell, Qiang Lin is an outsider, just a follower.Choose to tell, Qiang Lin is a confidant who can know the real secret.

Thinking of Qiang Lin who would rather die than attack the city before the battle, swear allegiance to her to the gods, block Xiu Muye's back arrow for her, and single-handedly stop the pursuers for her, she thinks these are enough to prove Qiang Lin's loyalty up.

Such a loyal subordinate will definitely not betray her, and will become Xiao Zhuo's help in the future.

"My husband's goal is to capture Xiliang."

Now that she has figured it out, she no longer hesitates.

Xiao Zhuo is now in Yongwei.What she said was to tell Qiang Lin that she already regarded him as her confidant.

A touch of emotion flashed in Qiang Lin's eyes, and he knelt down on one knee and gave a deep salute.This is the response to Shen Yuexi.It is also a silent oath.

"The master asked his subordinates for their opinions, and the subordinates' suggestion was to notify the Xiliang defenders."

"Can you explain?" Shen Yuexi asked.

If you notify the Xiliang defenders, it is tantamount to helping Xiliang.If Xiao Zhuo finds out that she is helping Xiliang in the future, it would be bad if there is a misunderstanding.She couldn't turn her elbows outwards, her original intention was to help Xiao Zhuo rather than hinder him.

You must figure it out before you can draw a conclusion.

Qiang Lin got up, leaned on the handle of the knife and looked down the mountain, and said:

"The Jingzhou army is currently no less than [-], and it is bound to win. However, Emperor Yongde's army and King Qi's army have stopped at Xiaogang Village, and they have no intention of going west. Xiliang has no support, so they can only face it alone. The Jingzhou Army. If defeated, His Highness the Crown Prince will have no soldiers in his hands, and he will have no choice but to send him under the fence again. But His Highness the Crown Prince is now in Yongwei, has received a reward from the King of Xiliang, and has a good idea of ​​intermarriage. It is equivalent to declaring that he and Xiliang Prince Liang is standing together, and Prince Jing will definitely not tolerate him in order to avoid harm."

"I understand," Shen Yuexi walked down the mountain, "I just don't know where the Xiliang defenders are."

Both she and Qiang Lin were visiting this place for the first time. They were unfamiliar with the place and did not know the surrounding geography at all.

Qiang Lin followed behind her and said: "Master, although I temporarily stopped the Jingzhou army in the village, they will definitely not be reconciled and will search everywhere. We should stay away from here now and find a village to settle down. I will report the news to you." A capable sergeant can be sent there."

The two were discussing, and there was a burst of crying from the foot of the mountain.

It's Li Wan.

Shen Yuexi thought she couldn't stand the cold in the wild, and lost her temper again, and was about to ask.A hidden guard hurried up the mountain and said to her:
"Master, Mrs. Li and the others were captured by the Jingzhou army."

Both Shen Yuexi and Qiang Lin were taken aback, and Qiang Lin asked, "Who brought the news?"

Everyone hurried down the mountain and came to a sheltered place.

A hidden guard lay on his side on the ground, half of his body was stained red with blood, and several people surrounded him.Seeing Shen Yuexi and Qiang Lin rushing over, one of them stood up and said, "Three arrows hit my back, it's not a serious injury, but the blood..."

Qiang Lin waved his hand to stop him from continuing, knelt down beside the injured hidden guard, held his hand and said, "What happened, aren't you guarding the carriage?"

The wounded guard said in a dying voice: "Boss, we are incompetent, we failed to protect Doctor Hua and Mrs. Li..."

Since Shen Yuexi and Li Wan left, Mrs. Li fell asleep in the car and suddenly worried about her daughter's safety.Noisily insisted on going to the village to find Li Wan.The guards did not dare to disobey, so they had to drive a carriage to the village to look for it.

Bad luck, just entered the village, just in time to meet the Jingzhou cavalry who failed to chase Shen Yuexi and returned to the village.

The hidden guards were outnumbered, the carriage moved slowly and could not escape, and was detained by the Jingzhou army.Only this hidden guard escaped by chance and came here for help.

Shen Yuexi said: "Let me treat him."

Qiang Lin shook his head and said: "Master, don't worry, his blood has already been shed, and he just relied on his will to get here."

After finishing speaking, Qiang Lin put down the guard's hand, closed the corpse's eyes, stood up and said to the guard next to him, "Our brother has gone to see the god."

Everyone stood with downcast eyes, and so did Shen Yuexi.

Li Wan cried beside her for a long time, seeing that everyone was ignoring her, she rushed over and grabbed Shen Yuexi's arm and said, "Why are you so dazed here, my mother has been caught, hurry up and save her!"

Qiang Lin glanced at Li Wan, then at Shen Yuexi, without saying a word.

Shen Yuexi walked out of the crowd, dragged Li Wan to a secluded place, and said to her: "Miss Li, the guard died. Everyone is mourning..."

"If you die, you're dead. It's just a servant." Li Wan threw her hand away angrily. "Can a servant compare with my mother's life?"

Shen Yuexi shook her head and said, "Miss Li, we are the same people as them now, and we are no more noble than them."

Li Wan always forgets her own identity from time to time, and still thinks that she is the eldest lady of Pingyang Houfu.

Although Shen Yuexi's words were not reprimands, they sounded like reprimands to Li Wan.She opened her mouth and finally closed it again.

Walking back to the crowd, Shen Yuexi said to Qiang Lin: "Let's bury this brave man, and then go save Dr. Hua and Mrs. Li."

Dr. Hua had the grace to save Xiao Zhuo's life, and Mrs. Li was Xiao Zhuo's aunt, so she had to save her.

Qiang Lin said: "That matter... shall I send someone to report?"

"No, we are already short of manpower, even if there is one less person." Shen Yuexi glanced at everyone, "Would you like to save people with me?"

Seeing that she did not treat the dead with contempt like Li Wan, everyone looked at her differently.

In the past, everyone followed Shen Yuexi because of their vows, but now seeing her respect for the deceased, they showed more respect in their hearts, and they all knelt down on one knee, bowing their heads to express their swearing to follow.

Li Wan looked at Shen Yuexi who was bowed down by all the guards in surprise, but couldn't figure out the reason behind it.

Shen Yuexi took the lead to pick up stones, and everyone buried the dead body with stones.

After finishing everything, Shen Yuexi raised her eyes and looked into the distance.

There are hundreds of Jingzhou troops in that village, but she has only thirteen sergeants here.
