Chapter 269
Rushing to Camp
The bright moonlight shone on the small white silk ribbon in the palm of Shen Yuexi's hand, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
This is the Bai Ling in Xiao Zhuo's jade pendant. Unexpectedly, Mei Dai asked the envoy to send it over without waiting for their help to fight Yongwei.
She held Bai Ling in one hand and pinched the letter in the other, and said to Geng Hong: "Thank you General Geng and the envoy. This thing is very important to us."
Geng Hong cupped his hands and said: "The general also knows that this letter is important, so he escorted the envoy here. Now that the letter has been delivered, the general has to rush back to the grain transport team overnight to say goodbye."
To the south of the city was the camp of the King of Qi's army. He was afraid that the envoy would not know about it, so he specially accompanied the envoy to come around from the Xirong settlement in the north of the city.
Shen Yuexi said to Yang Cong: "Give fifty taels of silver to General Geng and ten taels of silver to the envoy. You and Feng Zhang will escort General Geng and the others out of the city on my behalf."
Geng Hongxun thanked him and left with Yang Cong.
Shen Yuexi turned around, jumped up and down holding Bai Ling and ran into the house. As soon as she entered the door, she shouted:
"Husband, Sister Mei has sent the letter left by my mother."
Xiao Zhuo stood at the table with a nervous expression, staring at the Bai Ling she raised: "Is this it?"
Shen Yuexi couldn't help but smile when she saw Xiao Zhuo's expression. This man always said he didn't care about Bai Ling before, and looked indifferent. Now that Bai Ling is really in front of him, his nervousness can be seen by everyone.
The letter was written to her by Mei Dai. It seemed that she was afraid that she would not understand it, so she used the simplest and clearest words.
This change came so suddenly, Shen Yuexi could tell that Xiao Zhuo couldn't accept it for a while.
The sergeant of King Qi who was in charge of the lookout had already discovered her.
She quickly made a plan in her mind, lowered her body, and rode her horse towards the northwest corner of King Qi's camp.
She let go of Xiao Zhuo, turned around and ran out of the door. When she rushed to the entrance of the courtyard, she almost collided with Yang Cong who was walking towards her.
"It seems that I didn't have time to take the regret medicine." She was about to hold the mount, but then let go of her hand. "We must not let the fire start. Protect me well, and don't let me die."
The room was silent for a moment, except for the occasional crackling sparks from the lamps.
Xiao Zhuo held his head in his hands: "My mind is very confused right now, I..."
Mei Dai just wanted to keep the Mei family's foundation, so she had to lie to Shen Yuexi and Xiao Zhuo.
The more Shen Yuexi read, the more surprised she became. Halfway through, her mouth was open enough to stuff a walnut in. She was completely stunned.
At this time, Qiang Lin also led several secret guards and rushed out. Before he could ask what was going on, Shen Yuexi's mount had already spread its hooves and galloped away.
"There is no... horse, horse," Shen Yuexi looked up and saw the sergeant leading the horse behind her. She grabbed the reins and got on the horse, "You guys watch my husband."
I wanted to go up and comfort Xiao Zhuo, but Xiao Zhuo was concentrating on reading the words on the white silk. Shen Yuexi didn't want to interrupt Xiao Zhuo, so she lowered her head and played with the envelope in her hand.
Xiao Zhuo did not reach out to take it, but closed his eyes and took two deep breaths. Then he opened his eyes, stretched out his hands and carefully took the white silk. He sat down at the table, reached out to move the lamp closer, and unfolded the white silk. Aya watched.
"It's from the Queen." Xiao Zhuo's hands trembled slightly, and two tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
Considering that there are only a few thousand defenders in Langya Pass City and there are 40,000 troops on our side, no one is worried about a sneak attack.
Shen Yuexi put the envelope on the table and unfolded the letter paper.
"I don't know what to do," Xiao Zhuo held Bai Ling in his hands and stood up with a pale face, "He forced the father who raised me for twenty years to death, and he was actually my biological father..."
If you go south of the city, you must break through the Qi King's army camp.
Obviously Xiao Zhuo also knew the truth of the matter. He frowned and seemed to be deep in thought.
Shen Yuexi was galloping away while thinking about how she made such a stupid decision. She actually imitated Xiao Zhuo and rode into the enemy camp alone. It took a lot of bravery to dare to make such a decision. Something happened?
There was an army of 40,000 on the opposite side, and it was simply out of her imagination for her to break through alone.
It was late at night, and most of the soldiers of the King of Qi's army had fallen asleep. The soldiers of the King of Qi's army who were changing the guard were fine and were chatting in groups in front of the bonfire with their spears in hand.
The cheerful voice of the Big Bear sounded in her mind: "Dear Master, the Big Bear has heard the call. What do you want to make?"
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Yang Cong had just sent Geng Hong out of the north gate of the city. Seeing Shen Yuexi in such a panic, she rushed out of the gate wearing only casual clothes. She thought there was an enemy in the yard, so she quickly pulled out the sword from her waist, " Is there an assassin?"
Shen Yuexi knew that Xiao Zhuo was in a trance and could not communicate for the time being. But the sneak attack King Qi would not wait for him to return to normal. She had to make an immediate decision.
After picking it up, she felt that there was still paper inside the envelope. Shen Yuexi picked up the envelope again and shook it, and a piece of letter paper folded in half fell out.
She felt that she was a little too stupid, and just as she was about to rein in her mount, she heard someone shouting loudly from the watchtower of King Qi's army camp ahead.
Things will go smoothly if things go slowly. Let's save King Qi first. As long as he is fine, everything will be easy to do next.
"Husband, you..." Shen Yuexi didn't know what to say.
Xiao Zhuo had said before that if King Qi's army wanted to sneak attack Yuangu, it would have to be tonight. If King Qi really went, he would be dead.
It turns out that Mei Dai has seen Bai Ling a long time ago, but she has been hiding it from Shen Yuexi and Xiao Zhuo. Mei Dai is afraid that Xiao Zhuo will not help her attack Yongwei once he knows the truth.
The reason is very simple. Xiao Zhuo's biological father is the King of Qi Xiao Ming, and it is the King of Qi's army who is occupying Yongwei. In Mei Dai's view, if Xiao Zhuo knew that his biological father was the King of Qi, he would in turn help Yongwei. It is possible for Lin Kui to fight Zhang Wu.
"...Sister, I have lost my father and brother, and I know the pain of losing loved ones unforgettable. Now that the young master has raised his troops to confront his father and younger brother, my sister is restless. With the young master's strategy unparalleled in the world, the King of Qi will definitely be defeated. The young master once In front of you and me, he said personally that he would avenge Emperor Yongde, and he would definitely kill King Qi. If he really kills his biological father and younger brother with his own hands, everything will be irreversible. I hope this letter is not sent too late..."
"Here, here you go," she handed Bai Ling to Xiao Zhuo, "the characters are very small, so you have to get close to the light and read them carefully."
Xia Yuangu is on the south side of the Langya Pass Mountains. If she chooses to go north of the city, her horse will not be able to climb over the mountain, so she has to dismount and walk. She is afraid that she will not have enough time, so she decides to take the risk and go south of the city.
Shen Yuexi took the letter and turned to look at Xiao Zhuo.
"Husband, will King Qi go to Yuangu tonight?" She grabbed Xiao Zhuo's arm nervously, "Will he go tonight?"
What to make? The horses in front of the opponent's camp are made of wood. The fence of the camp, also known as the parapet, is also made of wood. The soldiers' guns, bows and arrows are all made of metal...
King Qi is his biological father, and Xiao Beiheng is his half-brother. The incendiary bombs ambushed in Xia Yuan Valley are about to burn his father or younger brother to ashes.
On the day Xiao Zhuo was exiled, Queen Pei was still there. However, one night passed, heaven and earth were separated forever, and Xiao Zhuo could not even see his mother for the last time.
Seeing Xiao Zhuo sad, Shen Yuexi also felt a little distressed.
A sergeant on the watchtower shouted: "A horse galloped out of the city and rushed straight towards the camp."
"Ah, did you read that correctly?" A captain next to the fire raised his head and shouted, "He rushed over here riding alone?"
The sergeant on the watchtower exclaimed: "It's true, that person is rushing towards the female wall... and he's about to hit him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the sergeants below the watchtower heard the approaching and approaching rapid sound of horse hooves.
