Qin Canglan interrupted him bluntly. “Your Highness, Leng Jue became a deserter and evacuated the right wing of the canyon, causing the soldiers who stayed behind to be killed and Young Marquis Jing to be captured! I want to ask General Leng if he colluded with Northern Yan and deliberately harmed the soldiers of our Great Zhou, leaving them to at the mercy of the death warriors of Northern Yan!”
Leng Kui was furious. “Qin Canglan! Don’t slander me!”
Qin Canglan snorted coldly, “My granddaughter has a way to kill the sacrificial soldiers. If Leng Jue had not deliberately evacuated the right wing, that group of powerful sacrificial soldiers would have died long ago! Leng Kui, do you know who those people who were released by your grandson are? It will be very difficult to have such a chance next time! Who knows how many soldiers will have to die and what kind of tragic price they have to pay to kill that group of sacrificial soldiers! Moreover, thanks to you, His Highness exposed his ident.i.ty outside the barbican. I believe it won’t be long before Northern Yan knows that His Highness has come to the border. Guess if that group of sacrificial soldiers will come to a.s.sa.s.sinate His Highness?”
“You…” Leng Kui choked, his blood rushing to his head.
Qin Canglan’s every word hit Xiao Duye’s Achilles heel. Firstly, he was afraid that the price would be too high. At that time, even if he fought, it would only be a narrow victory and his credit would be greatly reduced. Secondly, he was indeed afraid of being a.s.sa.s.sinated by the Northern Yan’s death warriors.
Moreover, Qin Canglan was right. It was Leng Kui who exposed him by not opening the city gate!
Qin Canglan sighed faintly. “If Jing Yi is here, I am not afraid that someone will a.s.sa.s.sinate His Highness.”
That’s right. Jing Yi’s martial arts skills were so high that he could definitely protect him.
Who was the reason why Jing Yi was captured by Northern Yan?
Leng Kui’s biological grandson.
Could this Leng guy really be in cahoots with the Northern Yan people?
Looking at Xiao Duye’s suspicious gaze, Leng Kui felt extremely aggrieved. He did live in peace, but he did not collude with the enemy to betray the country!
He knelt on one knee. “I am willing to swear on my life that I am loyal to Great Zhou and will never betray you!”
“Who cares about your blabbering…” Xiao Duye was vexed by the a.s.sa.s.sination attempt by Northern Yan. He entered the tent without looking back.
Xiao Duye was a perfect tool. If Su Xiaoxiao had brought Xiao Shunyang with her, he would not have been so easily instigated.
Qin Canglan said to the two juniors, “Xiaoxiao, Mo’er, let’s go.”
Su MO put away his sword and wiped Su Xiaoxiao’s sword clean. He placed it back into her scabbard and held her wrist. “Let’s go.”
Su Xiaoxiao walked past Leng Kui and his grandson expressionlessly in the cold wind.
As he watched the three of them leave, Leng Kui hugged his grandson’s head as boundless hatred and anger flashed in his eyes.
After returning to the tent. the three of them bezan to discuss their Dlan to rescue Jing Yi.
Su MO recalled, “I followed the tracks of the horses’ hooves. When I chased them to the river, the clues were gone. I guess they either crossed the river on the ice or have a hidden secret pa.s.sage nearby.”
Qin Canglan sat opposite the two of them. He thought for a moment and said, “Tuoba Lie chose Little Phoenix Mountain as his camp. It seems that he had already made arrangements. ”
Su Xiaoxiao said in a low voice, “If they lose, they won’t treat Jing Yi well. They will take it out on him.”
Qin Canglan did not speak.
There had been prisoners of war from the Great Zhou who had fallen into the hands of the Northern Yan people. They had been tortured to the point where they could not even beg for death.
Su MO said with a solemn expression, ‘We don’t know where Jing Yi is hidden now. Otherwise, we might be able to secretly save him.”
On the Little Phoenix Mountain, the fleeing Northern Yan army had set up camp in the forest.
In his tent, Tuoba Lie took off his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body.
The accompanying medical officer was treating his injuries. His left shoulder had been cut by Qin Canglan’s saber. It was so deep that his bones could be seen. Blood flowed all the way, and his face was a little pale.
However, compared to the casualties of the army, his injuries were nothing.
He had lost 30,000 soldiers after meeting Qin Canglan. This was a great humiliation!
The physician did not dare to reply and focused on treating his injuries.
The trusted deputy general said, “General, don’t be angry. After all, it’s Qin
Canglan, a person that can even cause General Helian headaches and fears.”
Of course, Tuoba Lie knew that it was not embarra.s.sing to lose to Qin Canglan, but that was under the circ.u.mstances that their military strength was equal. Today, his military strength clearly far exceeded the other party’s, but he was defeated in less than half a day.
He could not take this lying down!
“That Su MO isn’t easy to deal with either! ”
Of the 30,000 troops, 10,000 were surrounded and killed by Su MO and Leng
Hua.
Su MO even killed three sacrificial soldiers who were protecting him!
His trusted lieutenant said, “General, this trip is not without gains. We have captured Jing Yi. Jing Yi has always been with Qin Canglan’s granddaughter and their relationship is quite close. We can use Jing Yi to negotiate with Qin Canglan. We are not afraid that Qin Canglan will not agree!”
Tuoba Lie said indifferently, “Give this young duke a good greeting! Don’t kill him.”
“Yes!”
His trusted lieutenant brought a spiked whip to the tent where Jing Yi was being held.
After the death warrior brought Jing Yi over, he threw him into the tent and didn’t care. After all, he was seriously injured and couldn’t run away. No one was watching him.
He had a high fever and was lying on the cold ground in a daze.
In his arms, Wuhu woke up from the heat and crawled out with its smoking tongue.
His humble abode was finally no longer a humble abode. It had become a furnace, but Wuhu could not be happy.
It jumped onto Jing Yi’s head and used its wings to scratch Jing Yi’s face. Jing Yi didn’t react.
It jumped onto Jing Yi’s body again and bounced around, trying to wake him up.
But Jing Yi just wouldn’t wake up.
Wuhu thought for a moment, flapped its wings, flew under the curtain, and crawled out through the gap with difficulty.
A gust of cold wind mixed with ice and snow blew over, causing it to roll on the ground.
It shook off the snowflakes on its body and was about to fly away when suddenly, a falcon swooped down from the branch and swoop towards Wuhu. Wuhu were so frightened that they hurriedly crawled back into the tent!
This falcon was domesticated by Tuoba Lie and was used to communicate with Helian Ye. It was very ferocious and loved to eat rabbits and birds like Wuhu.
Wuhu found a few decorative bird feathers in the tent and disguised itself as an enchanting female falcon.
It first stretched out its enchanting little bird claws and shook them twice outside. After confirming that the other party did not attack it, it walked out boldly.
It shook its little bird b.u.t.t enchantingly and shook its beautiful tail.
The falcon was dumbfounded.
Wuhu walked forward enchantingly. As it walked, it twisted. Suddenly, Wuhu flapped its wings and flew away!
The falcon reflexively flew to catch it. Unexpectedly, Wuhu pa.s.sed through an intertwined vine. The falcon was too big and was instantly stuck.
Wuhu successfully escaped. It endured the biting wind and snow and flapped its small wings until they were smoking. Finally, it flew back to the barbican’s military camp.
“Boss! Boss! Wuhu is back!”
Wei Xun held the small ice sculpture that had fallen from the sky and quickly ran to Su Xiaoxiao’s tent. Su Xiaoxiao took the frozen parrot. “Is Jing Yi still alive?” The parrot nodded.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Take me to him!” The parrot hesitated.
Su Xiaoxiao: “Five pieces of bird food.”
This was not a matter of whether the bird could eat or not. The wind outside was so strong that the bird’s small wings could not flap!
It wanted to live in a fragrant and soft place!
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Ten.”
Wuhu’s frozen wings recovered their vitality in a second, and it flew up valiantly.
Stay? What the heck!
As long as one’s life lasted, one would never stop fighting!
The working bird was so domineering!
Su Xiaoxiao put on her cloak, grabbed the sword on the table, and looked at the snow.
“Jing Yi, wait for me..”
