Chapter 29 Victory is not necessarily a good thing
Xiao Yujue felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart.
He found that Mu Jingrui was really a very smart and thoughtful person.
This formation of troops can be advanced to attack and retreated to defend. I don't know how many times better than Qin Ming. More importantly, Mu Jingrui understands people's hearts well.
Mu Jingrui deliberately revealed his method of defeating the enemy after everyone had withdrawn. He wanted to give him the credit and let him use it to convince everyone.
Xiao Yujue nodded calmly and said, "Okay, it's up to you."
Having said that, he immediately ordered the expedition, with Mu Jingrui as the vanguard.
In the first battle, Mu Jingrui used only very few troops and casualties to defeat the group of arrogant bandits, and suffered heavy casualties.
Xiao Yujue was overjoyed when he heard the news, and his morale was greatly boosted. Everyone also had some respect for him, the prince who led troops on an expedition for the first time.
In the next few days, Mu Jingrui would remind Xiao Yujue from time to time. The tacit understanding between the two increased a lot and the last misunderstanding was eased.
"Your Highness, we have beaten those thieves to the point where they are almost unable to resist anymore. Brothers are exhausted. Why not rest for a few days." Qin Ming suggested.
Xiao Yujue was a little unsure about paying attention, and turned his eyes to Mu Jingrui.
"No, the best strategy is to take advantage of the current situation and annihilate the bandits."
Qin Ming really couldn't stand Mu Jingrui's always cold and arrogant appearance, but Xiao Yujue seemed to like this very much.
He immediately became furious, slapped the table and stood up, sneering contemptuously: "What do you know? War is a big deal. Just because you can charge into battle, it doesn't mean you know how to arrange troops. Human beings are all made of flesh and blood.
If you don't get a good rest, how will you have the strength to fight? Do you want all your brothers to die in vain?"
Xiao Yujue frowned and thought for a while, feeling that what Qin Ming said made sense.
However, he also respects Mu Jingrui's opinion. Since Mu Jingrui said this, there must be a reason.
Xiao Yujue dismissed everyone again on the grounds of breaking up the meeting, leaving Mu Jingrui alone.
"Do we have to attack? These days, wars are bloody every day. There is nothing wrong with letting the soldiers and generals take a break."
Mu Jingrui shook his head.
"Your Highness, you have never had any experience in fighting. Why did the emperor send you here this time?"
Mu Jingrui's question made Xiao Yujue a little embarrassed.
A discerning person would know at a glance that he was being plotted against.
"Those who stand on the opposite side of you were originally waiting to see your jokes, and even looked forward to the news of your death. But now it's backfired for them. The good news has already been sent back to the capital. If we don't fight quickly, this will
There is no problem here, but there may be some changes in the court."
As soon as Mu Jingrui finished speaking, a chill ran down Xiao Yujue's back involuntarily.
He was so blinded by victory that he forgot to look back.
Mu Jingrui was right. If someone in the imperial court tried to trick him and severely cut off the logistical supplies, it would be a disaster for him.
"Jing Rui, you are right. Just follow what you said and pursue the victory."
Xiao Yujue wanted to end the battle as soon as possible and rush back to the capital to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The two discussed and formulated a battle plan overnight, and Mu Jingrui led the troops to attack the bandits early the next morning.
Good news has been coming from the front line, and Xiao Yujue's anxious heart has been relieved a lot.
In the evening, Xiao Yujue was sitting in the military tent eating alone, when suddenly there was a cry of killing. He hurriedly put down his bowls and chopsticks and ran out to check, only to see that the camp was in chaos and the fire was shooting into the sky.
"What's going on?" Xiao Yujue's heart tightened and she had an ominous premonition.
"Your Highness, unfortunately, we were attacked by enemy troops."
Qin Ming ran over, holding a steel knife and his armor was stained with blood. He panicked and asked his men to fetch fast horses and urged: "Hurry up and get on the horse, and my subordinates will escort you away immediately."
"Leave?" Xiao Yujue looked forward. The camp was full of swords and swords, and the screams and sounds of fighting made people shudder. "I leave, what will happen to the others?"
"Your Highness, please don't worry so much. If you don't leave, it will be too late for the enemy to come and kill you. Whose life here will be more noble than yours. I will take you away to meet up with Mu Xianfeng and we will discuss the matter further."
Xiao Yujue watched the enemy troops getting closer and closer, and his survival instinct made him a little more timid.
He also felt that he was safest only when he was by Mu Jingrui's side. So he gritted his teeth, got on his horse, and escaped from the camp with Qin Ming.
At this time, Qin Ming brought seven or eight followers with him. The group of people drove their horses and whips along the way, and soon they could no longer hear the sound of fighting behind them.
Xiao Yujue followed Qin Ming as he galloped forward. The road became more and more remote. But at this time, the bright moon in the night sky was also obscured by dark clouds, and the front was almost pitch black.
"Hush!"
Xiao Yujue stopped, looked around, and asked: "General Qin, where is this place? If I remember correctly, Jingrui should be walking south. If we meet him, this direction...
"
Qin Ming also stopped at this time. Several of his followers moved closer to him, and there seemed to be a strange light in their eyes.
Xiao Yujue's heart skipped a beat.
He secretly clenched his fists, and his whole body became tense and alert.
"Your Highness, you read that right. This direction is not the south, but the west. I thought... being closer to the Pure Land of Bliss in the West would help you to reincarnate as soon as possible."
Xiao Yujue's face darkened, and she secretly gathered her true energy in her palms.
"Qin Ming, you are so brave."
"Hmph, don't act like a prince to me. In my eyes, you are a waste. When we get to Huangquan Road, you know who should be blamed for this."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Ming waved his arm, and the seven or eight followers beside him jumped up from their horses and attacked Xiao Yujue.
Xiao Yujue rolled over in the air to escape, but at this time he didn't even have a weapon in his hand. He had to deal with seven or eight masters with his bare hands, and he was obviously at a disadvantage.
After dozens of rounds, my arm suddenly hurt and blood started flowing.
"Xiao Yujue, just accept your fate."
Qin Ming raised his sword and stabbed Xiao Yujue in the chest.
Xiao Yujue felt despair in his heart. He never thought that the intrigues in the court had not been dead for so many years, and now the way to die would be so simple and clear.
"ah!"
A scream interrupted Xiao Yujue's thoughts. A flying knife shot out and penetrated Qin Ming's body from the back, causing him to fall to the ground and die.
"who?"
When several followers saw this, some of them immediately rushed towards the direction of the flying knives.
Several more flying knives were shot out, and a figure jumped out of the darkness, jumped to Xiao Yujue's side, grabbed the clothes on his shoulders, and fled quickly.
