Yijuan cloud

Chapter 67

I turned to look at Prince Yi.

It was a cold night, and he was wearing only a single coat. He didn't even shrink, and he shouted something heroic.

That look didn't seem like he was just lying, but rather like he was really ready to die.

Perhaps it was because he had the backing of Da Ying that he was sure that the Tumote troops would not dare to touch him, or perhaps it was Fan Li who came with his troops and gave him the confidence?

Even so, we are still on someone else's territory after all, and it was very courageous for him to make such an impassioned speech.

I always thought he was greedy for life and afraid of death, but I didn't expect that he was not cowardly in the face of justice.

However, he still didn't know that the emperor was determined not to retreat or send troops, and he clearly told the Tumote tribe that King Yi of Daying was a person of no importance.

There is no backing behind Prince Yi... No, if the emperor doesn't intend to settle the score with the Tumote Department, why would Fan Li lead his army over?

Is it for negotiation?
But where would anyone come to negotiate at night?
Moreover, the emperor would not send Fan Li here.

Just when he was wondering, a Mongolian soldier came on horseback from the grassland. He jumped off his horse and ran to the side of Anda Khan's horse. He whispered a few words. Soon Anda Khan and Sudiya were talking quietly.

Prince Yi also looked slightly sideways.

I took the opportunity to whisper to him: "The barbarians are arrogant by nature. Please stop saying those words to avoid irritating them."

He looked back solemnly, and after a while, he looked away, pursed his lips and smiled at me, "General Fan is here, what do we have to be afraid of?"

Before he finished speaking, I suddenly heard I Dahan say loudly:
"The King of Yi wants to leave his name in history, but I'm afraid it won't work. You don't know, right? Your emperor has long replied that he will never withdraw his troops. He only sends troops here. He only said that he would send people to negotiate. Listen. He said that the messenger for the negotiations has not been decided yet. I wonder what General Fan is doing with his troops? The warriors of the Tumut Department——"

An Dahan's tone suddenly changed, he shouted loudly, and said: "Go and kill all the enemies who are attacking our homeland! Capture their leader alive!"

The sound of a tidal wave of charging to kill the enemy suddenly sounded, accompanied by the rapid sound of horse hooves, the brave and capable Mongolian soldiers rushed over, and arrows were shot out.

I was horrified to see Zhan Zhan brushing against the arrow as Fan Li's horse turned around and ran wildly.

His figure can no longer be seen clearly, only the red tassel on his helmet is a little red.

Soon, I couldn't see anything anymore, because the Mongolian soldiers escorted Prince Yi and me back.

Behind him was nothing but the darkness of night, but also the sounds of swords clashing and frightening screams, the sounds of lives on the verge of death.

This is war, bloody, cruel, life and death, it happened in an instant, it happened around me.

I desperately turned my head to look back, feeling a dull pain in my heart. I thought of Brother Fan’s unsmiling look, of his silent figure standing in front of the porch on the third floor of his house in the city, and of the unconcealed joy he felt only when he saw the sword...it was all swallowed up. Into the beast-like darkness.

"He is very human, you have to believe him." Prince Yi whispered.

I turned around and let the Mongolian soldiers push me away. I looked down at my sapphire blue robe and the white fluff exposed from inside, trembling in the wind. I couldn't say anything.

Since Anda Khan dared to fight Daying's army, he must have just received the information. Fan Li did not lead the troops under the order, but came here privately.

It was difficult to see how many troops he had brought with him in the darkness, but I didn't expect them to be too many, so An Dahan's tone just now was very brisk.

"Since he dares to come, he will be able to escape unscathed. You don't need to worry so much." Prince Yi said again.

I suddenly shivered and turned to look at him in surprise.

A strand of hair fell down from his forehead. Because his hands were covered with compresses, he blew it away with a gentle breath, then stared into my eyes and said:

"Before you came to the palace, you had a personal relationship with General Fan. When I sent people to Yangzhou to check on you, I heard that he had been helping you find people from your Lin family. You followed him to a wine shop and went horse riding, and everyone saw you. That’s all I know.”

Sure enough, there is no airtight wall in this world.After he finished speaking, he still stared at me intently, as if he wanted to find something on my face.

I quickly looked away and looked at Ada Khan and Sudiya who were riding horses not far away. They were surrounded by Mongolian soldiers and were saying something loudly in Mongolian.

I whispered: "Yes, General Fan and I are old acquaintances."

Taking a deep breath, I looked at him again and said, "What Anda Khan said is true. The emperor will not agree to withdraw the troops, nor will he send troops. Sudiya told me during the day that the emperor is suspicious." You, I don’t believe you, so...he wants you to fend for yourself, and General Fan, he is upright and righteous by nature. I think he couldn’t see the prince of Daying falling into the hands of the Mongols, so he secretly led his army to rescue him. Since you came here without permission, how many troops do you think he will bring?"

His eyes were noticeably darker.

The imperial brother whom he sincerely and strongly supports does not want to save his life... I seem to feel the sadness in his heart. If it is my family, they don't like me and don't want to care about me anymore. Just thinking about it makes me sad. .

"Don't be discouraged. In any case, you are also the prince of Daying. I heard what Sudiya said is just to keep us for a few more days. Sooner or later, we will let you go."

I comforted him in a low voice, and his expression softened a little, but he said calmly: "General Fan led eight thousand soldiers to chase the Tatars for a hundred miles. This time, no matter how many soldiers he leads, he will always defeat the Tatars." Come back alive."

Prince Yi and I were taken to the royal tent, with Ada Khan and Sudiya sitting in the middle.

Sudiya smiled and said: "Hurry and untie the two distinguished guests."

The Meng soldiers quickly untied the tendons on me and Prince Yi.

Prince Yi's clothes were then loosened, and regardless of the soreness in my wrists, I hurriedly stepped forward and buttoned them up for him.

"How is your wrist?" Prince Yi asked in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter." I said softly.

An Dahan smiled and said: "It seems that as long as the beauty is by his side, King Yi will be just as happy wherever he is. It just so happens that he can stay here forever."

"That's fine, I'm just annoying you." Prince Yi also smiled.

Sudiya said: "Your Majesty, please take a seat." Then she ordered the servants, "Bring the good wine and meat."

After Prince Yi and I sat down, Sudiya said with a smile: "It's a long night. Let's drink to cheer up. Maybe we can meet General Fan soon. Rumor has it that General Fan is a warrior. It's true. Even the emperor wants to If you dare to disobey, you will come here secretly with a hundred and ten people. Lord Yi, tell me, if your emperor knows about this, will he punish General Fan?"

Prince Yi said: "General Fan knows that the king is here as a guest and came to visit the king. Why does the emperor punish him?"

Idahan snorted coldly: "Are you really confused, or are you pretending to be confused? It's now this time and you're still thinking about your imperial brother!"

"Your Majesty, I am a king who cares about the overall situation. I am of the same mind as my predecessor."

It's been a long time since I heard any noise coming from outside. Going to the back, An Dahan was obviously anxious and urged people to go out to investigate from time to time.

At dawn, a Mongolian soldier came in quickly and said something in Mongolian hurriedly. An Dahan suddenly stood up, grabbed the scimitar on the case and walked out.

Sudiya's face also changed greatly, and she gave some instructions in a low voice, and two Mongolian soldiers came over and took Prince Yi and me back to the felt bag where we lived.

I vaguely guessed that Zalik lost the battle.

Fan Li must have won.

At noon, Ada Khan and Sudiya came over.

Ada Khan's face was full of anger, but Sudya was still calm.

She said in a deep voice: "General Fan Shenwu led us to pursue us, but he ambushed the army a hundred miles away, captured Zalik, and wanted to exchange Zalik for King Yi. It is really a good plan. Okay, then exchange Okay, but one person for the other, we will send King Yi back, and Miss Lin will stay with me."
