Jiaochu

King Pingnan roared like a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, deafening the ears and suppressing the enemy's morale by a large margin. The Red Army became more and more courageous as they fought, and the first batch of enemy troops who landed on the shore were retreating steadily, and were about to retreat into the river.

There was a loud bang, and an iron bomb hit the ground, causing people to fall over.

The opponent's warship was even equipped with artillery.

King Pingnan was so angry that he wanted to throw a big knife and kill the opponent's coach.

There were two more loud bangs.

King Pingnan ordered the troops to withdraw first. When he saw an iron bullet flying in the direction of Meng Tianlan, he jumped up, swung his sword and smacked it directly into the opponent's warship. There was a loud bang and it was destroyed. The opponent has a warship. King Pingnan wanted to take a few more shots, but the opponent's artillery fire was fierce. Meng Tianlan shouted to him to leave quickly. King Pingnan held a big sword and rode on his horse to the high ground in front of the gunfire.

The Red Armored Army temporarily retreated behind the high ground, where the opponent's artillery fire could not reach it.

The second batch of warships took the opportunity to dock.

King Pingnan clenched his sword and prepared to attack.

Suddenly there was a rumble of thunder in the night sky, and the next moment there was thunder and lightning, a blizzard poured down, the water in the Red River swelled, and the wind and waves suddenly rose. The warship on the river swung left and right, the bow hit the stern, and waves of more than ten meters high came down. , the mast tipped over, and the people on board fell into the water like dumplings.

The situation suddenly turned around.

"You grandsons still want to take advantage of the situation, even God can't stand it!"

King Pingnan laughed loudly and ordered people to get the net bag.

"Chang Chong, you wait for me, I will fish you out and make soup for you later!"

Hearing his name, one of the people on the deck was shocked. He knew that the plan had been seen through by the other party. He thought that tonight's battle was a sure shot and that he could win the southern border in one fell swoop. By then, the southern border would be lost and the northern border would be too busy to take care of itself. The great emblem would be destroyed. Unexpectedly, he was defeated by the weather at the critical moment. The star official had observed the sky before, and it was supposed to be calm tonight, but it turned out to be windy and rainy, and the waves were higher than the boat. He was very upset and depressed. Another wind and wave came over, and the warship was about to tip to the water. He rushed over and pulled the rope, ordered the soldiers to turn around and return to the shore immediately.

When the storm subsided, a wooden plank floated on the water, with three or four people on it.

King Pingnan led people to come over with nets to "catch fish", and they caught every fish accurately. Some even kicked off their legs and swam two steps forward, while some had given up resistance.

The people who were fished out were shivering with cold, and they had no energy left to shout and kill. They disarmed their weapons and tied their arms, and they were all taken back to the camp.

Chang Chong crawled ashore wet from the water and looked at the Red Armored Army on the other side holding nets to fish for people. He simply didn’t know what words to use to describe his mood at the moment. The cold wind blew and his scalp was numb and embarrassed. left.

……

Hearing high-pitched shouts in the distance, he knew he had won the battle.

She smiled.

The first ray of morning light rose from the horizon, illuminating the clear brows and eyes. Those eyes could not be opened and could not be seen, but they could feel the temperature of the light shining on the eyelids, which was a little warm.

There were footsteps approaching. She listened and turned her head to look behind her, but she couldn't see anything with her eyes closed.

Alas, she heard someone sigh.

"Why should the princess leave her servant behind?"

It was Shangguan Yuan's voice.

Ye Lingxi just smiled and said nothing.

He took out a bottle of medicine and a gauze band from his sleeve, poured a pill from the medicine bottle and gave it to Ye Lingxi to take, then wrapped a gauze band around her eyes and told her not to open her eyes for seven days. She nodded. He put the cloak he had brought on her body and carried her down the mountain. She said, "Master, from now on I will support you until you die." Shangguan Yuan replied, "If the princess still insists on going her own way, she may not live as long as a humble minister. "She asked, "Master, how old are you?" Shangguan Yuan didn't answer. She said, "You must be more than forty." Then she said, "But Zhu Xingguan looks like he is forty, so Master, you should be five years old." It's already ten." Shangguan Yuandao said, "I'm not that old, so please don't make any assumptions, princess." She said oh~.

The carriage stopped at the foot of the hill.

Shangguan Yuan drove and set off to leave.

When the good news from the southern border came back to the capital, Yelan Chenlong was overjoyed. King Pingnan wrote a separate report, describing all the activities of Qi State and Xiyan. When words were not enough to express his inner indignation, he wrote a memorial report. Two more turtles were drawn in the newspaper.

Ye Lanchen was a little dumbfounded when he saw the two turtles. However, Qi State and Xi Yan secretly colluded. They had previously sent Princess An Ning here to create the illusion that "a defeat requires marriage to gain backing." Huizhou has a good relationship with Xiyan, but it is really abominable that they are collaborating with Xiyan!

The crisis in the southern border has been resolved. Ye Lanchen issued another edict, ordering King Pingnan to lead 20,000 red armored troops to the northern border. This time he vowed to make Xiyan pay the price!

……

As the sun sets, the carriage drives slowly on the path beside the woods. When the sun sinks below the horizon, it gets dark very quickly. Winter is about to begin. The nights are long and the days are short. Once the sun sets, the temperature drops very quickly. .

Shangguan Yuan stopped the carriage in the lee of the wind, got out of the car to collect firewood, and after lighting the fire, he took out two futons and spread them beside the fire. Ye Lingxi opened the curtain, groped his way out of the carriage, and followed the warmth of the flames. After coming over and sitting down on the futon, Shangguan Yuan took out the medicine bottle from his sleeve and gave her another pill.

"Princess, do your eyes still hurt these past two days?" Shangguan Yuan asked.

She said it was getting better, but it still hurt a little. Shangguan Yuandao said, "There are a few things that I still have to tell the princess." She nodded. Shangguan Yuandao said, "Even if the princess's eyes can be opened, I'm afraid she won't be able to return to the past." She expected this result. At that time, thunder and lightning broke out above the Chihe River, and a bolt of lightning suddenly illuminated the earth, and the light suddenly penetrated the ground. After entering her eyes, the pain was unbearable, as if she had been pricked by a needle. She thought she would never be able to see again. The first thing that came to her mind was how to hide it from her mother-in-law so that she would not worry.

"As long as you can still see it." She looked at the flames in front of her. Although she couldn't see it, she could feel the rising temperature.

The next afternoon, the two arrived in a small town. Shangguan Yuan chose a quiet and secluded small house and took Ye Lingxi to rest here for seven or eight days. When Ye Lingxi could open her eyes, he stayed there for two more days to let her eyes adapt to the changes in light.

When he hit the road again, Shangguan Yuan was still driving.

"Master, at your rate, can we get back within a month?"

"Princess, don't worry, we can get back soon."

When he arrived at Miancheng in Yuzhou again, Ye Lingxi heard the people along the road saying that the northern side had won the battle. He was so excited that he jumped out of the carriage and grabbed a passerby and asked when the battle was won. The passerby said that it was the first two Tian won the battle and defeated Xiyan. The prince of Xiyan fled back in despair with the remaining soldiers.
