294 Twilight Clouds Are Treacherous and Undercurrents Are Raging
"Let them go like this?!" Cheng Zhe's eyes widened in disbelief.
Hua Jinglan's brows flashed with anger, and she turned her eyes like swords, "You want to fight me too?!"
Cheng Zhe murmured for a moment, but finally there was no sound.
"Then... Young Master," Jiang Xuan stepped forward and asked, "Where should we go?"
"The world is so big, how can there be no place for you?" Hua Jinglan said.
"We all want to go back to Penglai Island to live in seclusion." Jiang Xuan glanced at the people behind him and said, "The life of the Five Nations is really not suitable for us."
"That's okay," Hua Jinglan thought about it and said, "You can also go to Penglai and wait for the four envoys to return."
"Whether the six of them like the outside or Penglai, they are not allowed to leave Penglai from now on. You are different. You still have choices. Those who want to stay, stay, and those who want to leave, I will never stop them."
Jiang Xuan nodded, "Thank you sir for saving my life!"
Hua Jinglan glanced at Qingshan Village and saw that the morning light had already appeared, so she said, "Let's burn this place!"
At a few o'clock, a spark flew by, and Qingshan Village turned into a sea of fire and turned into dust in the billowing black smoke.
"Sir, I'd like to say goodbye." Jiang Xuan faced Hua Jinglan and bowed deeply. The Penglai Islanders behind him also bowed one after another. Cheng Zhe's eyes were complicated. It seemed that there were many things he didn't understand, but he was also confused.
Extraordinarily happy, he said: "Sir, we say goodbye."
Hua Jinglan nodded slightly and watched them turn and leave.
Under the bright firelight, Cheng Zhe and Jiang Xuan led the people from Penglai Island down the mountain, and the six old men in gray also accompanied them. Sang Bugui led the bandits tied up in a bunch, looked at the people coming down the mountain, and said
: "Young master, aren't you afraid of their resurgence?"
Hua Jinglan smiled and shook her head, "They don't dare."
Sang Bugui smiled and used his strength to lead the man down the mountain.
The morning sun shone through the gaps in the leaves. At this time, the sunlight and moonlight did not look much different, giving the two people a thin layer of silver light.
"King Xiaoyao raised his troops under the banner of King Qin," Sang Bugui said hesitantly, "Does he intend to proclaim himself emperor?"
Hua Jinglan looked back at him, "Are you also concerned about this?"
Sang Bugui shook his head, "Young master is Princess Xiaoyao. If King Xiaoyao ascends the throne, she will be the queen of Houyue Kingdom in the future. Will she never return to Penglai?"
Hua Jinglan laughed softly, "I am not destined to be a queen, but whether I return to Penglai or not is not the final decision."
Sang Bugui seemed to be relieved, and his expression became lighter.
Hua Jinglan turned to look at him, "You're only about twenty years old. You look like an old man with worries. The more you smile, the longer you can live."
Sang Bugui lowered his eyes and nodded, "That's what the young master said."
Hua Jinglan moved her stiff neck and moved her arms and said: "I haven't been able to sleep well these days. Let's wait for him in Red Maple Valley tonight instead of rushing."
"I will send these people to the government and buy some wine on the way back." Sang Bugui said.
"become!"
After they got off the mountain, the two of them walked apart. Hua Jinglan walked lightly through the red maples all over the mountain. The red maple valley under the morning light was very beautiful, coquettish but not overly so, like a pipa half-covering one's face, a perfect display.
With its charm.
Climbing to a high place, she stood on the top of the mountain and looked into the distance, as if she could see Chun Yuyan's flag in the twilight. She smiled slightly: Chunyu, I'm waiting for you!
*
Chunyu Yan's army marched for days and days, and marched secretly. They marched to places rarely visited by people. The soldiers were exhausted, and they even ran out of food and grass.
After walking all night, they stopped at dawn to rest and reorganize the three armies. Chun Yuyan sat in front of the big case and looked at the marching map with a heavy look on his face.
He didn't expect the sudden attack from Qiongyu Kingdom. The leader of the attack was Lian Jing, a young general from Qiongyu Kingdom. This man was brave and resourceful, and he didn't follow the rules. He was often unexpected. He fought three battles along the way, and he suffered a loss.
Not small.
But he couldn't waste time with the Qiongyu Kingdom. Li Zhao was still waiting for him to come back for help. As long as he kept a sufficient distance from the Qiongyu Kingdom, Lian Jing didn't dare to pursue him. After passing the Red Maple Valley and arriving at Chishui City,
They are considered safe.
"Prince, let's have something to eat first!" Zhui Feng came in with a plate of side dishes and a few steamed buns.
Chun Yuyan put down the map, but without leaving his eyes, he picked up a steamed bun and asked again: "Zhui Feng, what do you think of the three armies passing through the Red Maple Valley?"
Zhui Feng understood what he meant. Lian Jing's march was strange. He had once ambushed them in front of them. "The prince's concern was simply that Lian Jing would arrive at the Red Maple Valley early. But this time our march was extremely hidden and we had many places to go."
The route is difficult and steep, and even the traces are covered, so it may be difficult to intercept us this time."
Chunyu Yan put down the food in his hand again and said: "Give me the order and we will continue on our way in half an hour."
"Yes!" Zhui Feng bowed his hands and backed away.
Chunyu Yan looked at the map carefully. At this time, he could no longer let Lian Jing take advantage of the loophole.
"Report——!" The messenger raised his voice, raised the curtain, went into the tent, knelt and knelt in front of the case and said: "The spies are here to report that there are traces of enemy soldiers in the rear!"
Chunyu Yan stood up quickly, "What position?!"
"It's an enemy spy, fifteen miles away from the vanguard camp!"
Chunyu Yan waved his hand to signal him to retreat, turned around and was silent for a moment before he said: "Zhu Yu, please pass this king's order to set off immediately!"
The three armies broke out of camp and their horses neighed. Chun Yuyan put on a red armor and walked at the front of the team, rushing towards the Red Maple Valley.
"Your Majesty," Deputy General Qin Zhenda came over immediately and said, "Since the enemy is chasing us, why don't we ambush him in Red Maple Valley and catch him off guard!"
If the two countries were to go to war, Chunyu Yan would definitely not deny this proposal, but now it was important to return to aid Yecheng, so Lian Jing could only let it go.
"Let's get to Chishui City first."
Chun Yuyan's face sank, and she looked at the mountains in front of her. Passing through the Red Maple Valley was Chishui City. Chishui City was easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as you passed here, the first pass would be cleared!
