Ji Zimu and Ji Zizhi rushed down the slope, and several personal soldiers came up to them, "Master?"

"go back."

Ji Zimu didn't waste any time and immediately led his men back to the battlefield as quickly as possible. The battle in his area was just coming to an end. Ji Zimu dismounted, rolled in the dust, quickly joined the battlefield, and fought fiercely. Not long after, he was finally found by the other anxious soldiers.

"Retreat quickly."

The outcome of the battle in their area was not good. The enemy had twice as many troops as theirs and they were dispersed at the beginning, so Ji Zimu found an opportunity to escape. Many of them had scars on their bodies and looked quite embarrassed. Fortunately, reinforcements arrived soon and they were able to turn the situation around. They fought all the way until dark and in the end both sides retreated without wanting to fight.

After returning to the camp, Ji Zimu had a deep wound on his back. Several young generals came over to take a look and immediately became anxious, "What are you waiting for? Go find a military doctor!"

It's obviously not possible to bandage a wound like this by yourself!

After Tang Bosi and his men called their personal soldiers, they hurried over to support Ji Zimu, helped him into the tent, helped him remove his armor and wash himself. The military doctor hurried over, and the young generals hurriedly made way for the military doctor to suture the wound and finally injected a tube of penicillin.

——The production of penicillin has been rapidly reduced since the falling out with Yang Yanzong (Imperial Medical Bureau), and it has become more precious. Even princes or generals have to wait for military doctors to determine whether it is really necessary before they can be injected.

The military doctors were also very busy, so everyone dealt with minor injuries on their own like Ji Zimu did yesterday.

After treating the wound, the military doctor did not stay long. He hurriedly gave some instructions and left in a hurry with the medicine box.

"I'm fine."

Ji Zimu took the initiative to speak, and after Ji Zizhi wiped the blood around his wound, he sat up and put on his clothes.

"Oh," Tang Bosi and his friends sighed, but before they could say anything, they heard the rumbling sound of horse hooves and the "crack" of empty whips outside. It was Ji Zili and Ji Ziying returning to the camp.

There were also many voices of greeting, "Your Highness the Third Prince——" "Your Highness the Fourth Prince——"

Tang Bosi and his companions pouted in disdain, but seeing Ji Zimu's silent face as he tied his belt, and the camp in front of them which was quite far from the emperor's tent and whose furnishings were even inferior to theirs, they could not help but sigh. Tang Bosi said, "Zimu, you should also find some opportunities to serve His Majesty!"

These young generals are still young, and there are some things that their adults have not explained to them in a thorough and profound manner. Seeing Ji Zimu being ignored and humiliated like this, they are all filled with righteous indignation, and they can't wait to take his place and pin those sissy girls to the ground and slap their faces.

In the past, Ji Zimu always smiled bitterly and shook his head, or remained silent. But today, his throat rolled for a moment, and he said, "You are right."

"Zi Mu, you should have done this a long time ago!"

"Yes, yes. Who is afraid of who? There is still a long way to go."

"that is!……"

There was the sound of muffled thunder outside and the crackling of spring rain hitting the cowhide tent. After watching Ji Zizhi send Tang Bosi and others out, Ji Zimu slowly lay back on the camp bed.

The tent became quiet, with only the sound of dripping rain being heard. Ji Zimu lowered his eyelids slightly.

——Although he now had to inform Ji Yuanhao before he could even see him, and it was impossible for him to know such a top-secret information as Ji Yuanhao’s true whereabouts during the battle, he was not completely without any solutions.

Ren and Ji Yuanhao had been married for more than fifteen years. In the beginning, she was even his first wife's helper. She helped him arrange all the things he couldn't take care of. Only later, when he had more manpower, did she take care of him less.

In the past fifteen or sixteen years, it can be said that the shadows of Ren mother and son can be seen in many places, intentional or unintentional, tangible and intangible. Many little things that no one would pay attention to have now become channels that Ji Zimu can use.

He silently apologized to Tang Bosi and the others in his heart. He had no way to move forward or backward, so he had no choice but to do this.

He has known Tang Bosi and others since childhood. They are childhood friends who grew up together and have a deep relationship. Even Tang Bosi and others are still used to calling him "Zi Mu".

Ji Zimu doesn’t know where Ji Yuanhao’s true identity is, but it doesn’t matter, Tang Xianzhou, Chen Yiqiu and others will know.

Ji Yuanhao trusts the most are Tang Xianzhou and other old and trusted subordinates who have followed him for many years. No matter where he goes, he will always bring some of them with him.

Tang Bosi and his companions are the biological sons of Tang Yiqiu and others. They have been studying under their fathers since they entered the camp.

They have already discussed that Ji Zimu should show off more in front of the emperor, and Ji Zili and Ji Ziying should not be the only ones in front. It doesn't matter if Ji Zimu and his brothers cannot go to the emperor's tent without Ji Yuanhao summoning them. Just do it in front of him!

Tang Bosi and others secretly informed Ji Zimu at that time, asking Ji Zimu and his brothers to find an opportunity to get closer and kill the enemy near the emperor.

If once doesn’t work, try twice. If two times doesn’t work, try three times.

Sooner or later!

Ji Zimu agreed, but he silently said "sorry" to Tang Bosi and the others in his heart.

…

The spring rain continued for one night and stopped the next day. When the ground was dry, the drums of war started beating again!

On the second day after the war resumed, Ji Zimu finally received the news secretly sent by Tang Bosi and others.

——Since Tang Xianzhou and others would not leak the information beforehand, even to his own son, Tang Bosi and others were not sure whether they would follow the imperial carriage today, so the first message only said their current location and the direction they would go.

As for who followed, we can only wait and see after the second letter.

But Ji Zimu couldn't wait for the second letter. After all, it would take time for him to pass the message to Yang Yanzong, and Yang Yanzong also needed time to make preparations.

"Eastern Ma'anshan, Zhuque Hill, Yingzui Gorge, Walnut Grove, Liwei, Kanwei."

Ji Zimu asked Ji Zizhi to step back, and quickly copied it down with charcoal. Then he handed it to his trusted personal soldier. The personal soldier put the note in his pocket, paused for a while, and slowly stepped back among the crowd. After a while, he quickly passed the note out.

"Brother, is this... okay?"

What if Yang Yanzong made a wrong judgment?

Ji Zimu smiled sarcastically: "Don't worry."

If Yang Yanzong didn't even have this ability, he would never have caused his father so much trouble.

Ji Zimu’s guess was absolutely correct.

The note was sent back to Yang Yanzong as quickly as possible.

He lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, and smiled: "Okay!"

"Excellent!"

Yang Yanzong raised his eyes. From his position, he just overlooked the entire battlefield. The smile on his face disappeared. His eyebrows were stern and his expression was stern. He waved his hand and A Zhao immediately stepped forward. He said in a deep voice: "Wait a moment, take my order and inform the commanders of each unit as quickly as possible!"

Yang Yanzong quickly adjusted his formation.

Akang, Azhao, Daming and others rushed there with orders.

Among them is a handwritten letter from Yang Yanzong to Li Shengen.

Afterwards, Yang Yanzong secretly summoned the Qingfeng and Baishun camps: "Go east, to the East Ma'anshan area!"

Yang Yanzong quickly took off his bright red cloak and helmet and put on a black cloak of an ordinary general.

He led the group there personally.

He will attack from the front and back together with Li Shengen.

Yang Yanzong squinted his eyes and looked to the east. There was a huge army and the sound of killing was deafening. The battle situation was gradually becoming stalemate without him noticing. However, to the east, the situation was sparse and normal, and there was nothing unusual to see.

He sneered. If nothing unexpected happened, today would be the day Ji Yuanhao would die!

…

Yang Yanzong did not miss any of the five locations, and according to his judgment, Ji Yuanhao should be in the area of ​​East Ma'anshan.

In fact, his judgment was not wrong.

The weather today was average. The sun came out in the morning, but before noon it was obscured by dark clouds again.

The dark clouds were growing thicker and thicker, and in the afternoon there was a thunder, and the rain began to pour down on our heads.

But now the battle is in full swing, and they can advance but not retreat. The fighting between the two armies has not slowed down due to the rain, but has become more intense.

There were rumbling thunders and heavy rains. Ji Yuanhao had defeated an entire battalion of enemy troops and was standing on his horse at the top of the slope, overlooking the entire battlefield.

——He is located not far in front of East Ma'anshan, a normal position near the left wing. He can support the central army at any time if he advances, and can quickly return to Dazhai if he retreats. This is a very suitable position to overlook the overall situation.

Ji Yuanhao is a man of extraordinary talent. In half a year, he has made rapid progress and is now very synchronized with Xu Wenkai. The two of them control the overall situation, one inside and one outside, and have a tacit understanding.

He only looked at it for a short while before his brows suddenly furrowed: "Not good!"

The enemy's formation in front of them suddenly changed. They quickly retracted their wings and pressed towards the center at full speed with the force of thunder!

——The central army is very important. Of course, it does not refer to his substitute emperor, but the center of the village where Xu Wenkai is located.

The central army was under such heavy pressure all of a sudden. From afar, they saw a suicide squad of the enemy rushing in, instantly disrupting the shield formation, and then the entire army pressed forward to attack Xu Wenkai!

The left and right wings of our side were caught off guard and reacted slowly, causing the central army's formation to become chaotic and even Xu Wenkai was in danger.

"Go, go and provide support!"

Ji Yuanhao had two choices. One was to quickly charge around to the rear of the enemy and surround Wei to save Zhao. The other was to send troops directly to support the central army.

The latter would be much simpler and the effect would be more immediate. Ji Yuanhao pondered for a moment. After all, a son of a wealthy family should not sit idly by. He did not choose to lead a solitary army around. He immediately ordered Tang Xianzhou to lead his elite troops to rush to the support of the central army!

Tang Xianzhou's face was solemn. He responded immediately and led his army away!

At this moment, most of the elite battalion commanders around Ji Yuanhao were gone.

But there is no need to worry, because Ji Yuanhao was disguised as a minor general, and the people around him did not reveal their identities. Before the battle, no one knew his real whereabouts except Xu Wenkai himself who knew the approximate direction he was going.

Ji Yuanhao has done this more than once.

But this time, something unexpected went wrong!

Just as Tang Xianzhou rushed into the battle, he was standing inside and outside the brave Xu Wenkai. The latter commanded with great precision and quickly stabilized the situation!

Seeing that a fierce battle was about to begin, no one could have guessed that another all-round fierce battle would kick off in the rainstorm. All the generals, big and small, including Xu Wenkai and Tang Xianzhou, were concentrating on facing the enemy!

But who would have thought that at this moment, the enemy suddenly gave up the advantage they had. Li Shengen, who was closest to the left wing, suddenly waved his hand and shouted: "Command flag! The rear army turns to the front army and attacks the enemy's left wing directly!!"

He pointed his finger: "Target! East Ma'anshan——"

A large group of enemy troops quickly moved from the rear to the front. The leading sergeant was obviously well prepared and did not panic at all. He turned around very accurately and headed straight for the east direction of Ma'anshan under the command of the flag!

The most worrying thing about this kind of sudden turn is that it will cause chaos, and if we are not careful, it will turn into a rout. But Yang Jun made a very good start. If the front was not in chaos, the back would naturally not be in chaos either. In an instant, their momentum was like a rainbow, like a sharp sword in the heavy rain, and they charged forward with a force ten times that of the remaining troops around Ji Yuanhao!

The heavy rain covered the sky and the earth with a white mist. Ji Zizhi, who was not far away, couldn't help but hold his breath and watched nervously!

Success or failure depends on this one move! !

However, Ji Yuanhao's quick reaction and precise response were beyond the brothers' expectations. It was by no means a fluke that this man could achieve his current status and achievements. The moment the enemy moved, Ji Yuanhao's face changed drastically: "What's going on?!"

He immediately realized that his location had been leaked!

Ji Yuanhao was shocked and angry, but he immediately ordered his troops to retreat and flee quickly!

Ji Yuanhao is flexible and adaptable.

Chen Yiqu shouted: "Master, go away——"

He had quickly led his troops to meet the enemy, his veins bulging in the cold rain, fighting one against ten!

Ji Yuanhao didn't waste any time, quickly took off his cloak, turned around and retreated quickly! !

Ji Zizhi's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

But at this moment, when Ji Yuanhao had fled nearly two miles, the soldiers who came to support the king rushed in quickly, and it seemed that they would meet up soon!

A burst of rapid horse hooves sounded like thunder! !

The agile cavalry, with archers in front and soldiers behind, surrounded Ji Yuanhao from both sides. They suddenly appeared and rushed down, blocking Ji Yuanhao's way like a tide.

From the top of the low hill, a rider slowly walked out, and it was Yang Yanzong.

Yang Yanzong was looking down from a high position. In the heavy rain, three long rows of elite archers were around him. Once the semi-encirclement formation was formed, Yang Yanzong said nothing and waved his hand: "Shoot!"

This move, with a feint to the east and an attack in the west, loose at the front and tight at the back, luring the enemy into a trap, the chain of tactics was very successful!

At Yang Yanzong's command, arrows shot out like a rainstorm. Ji Yuanhao's eyes were bloodshot. The leader of the personal guards, Zhao Si, and the imperial guards on both sides rushed forward and blocked him. It was very tragic. The penetration power of the strong bow and hard arrows of the highest strength was beyond the reach of ordinary soldiers' cloth armor, not to mention the density like raindrops!

In an instant, there were screams. Before the first round of arrow rain was over, the elite soldiers behind him fell to the ground in groups, horses neighed and people wailed. Many of Ji Yuanhao's extremely agile imperial guards were injured and fell to the ground, and they were stung like a hornet's nest.

During the intervals between the rain of arrows, top masters such as Achuan quickly rushed forward, taking the opportunity to kill the enemy guards and block their way!

Forced Ji Yuanhao! He stared at Yang Yanzong on the slope, but moved without hesitation. The nearest reinforcements were less than a mile away. His ears moved, and when the rain of arrows stopped suddenly when the archers were replaced, he pushed the saddle and suddenly jumped up.

Ji Yuanhao himself is a highly skilled fighter, one of the best in the world. Even Du Achuan was forced to lean back, and he suddenly retreated quickly to the left!

But how could Yang Yanzong let him get away? !

The moment Ji Yuanhao moved, Yang Yanzong jumped up and stood at the foot of the slope. He raised his hand, and "swoosh, swoosh, swoosh" three short iron arrows shot straight into Ji Yuanhao's left chest!

"Bring me my bow and arrows!!"

Yang Yanzong stretched out his hand, took his ebony bow, and pulled it. The twelve-stone bow was fully drawn in an instant! The bowstring creaked as he aimed at the spot between Ji Yuanhao's throat and released it. With a "swoosh", the sharp weapon cut through the air, and three heavy arrows shot out through the rain! !

Ji Yuanhao was in mid-air with nowhere to gain leverage, but he was also very strong. He twisted his body and dodged the three sleeve arrows that were aimed directly at his vitals. However, it was a bit difficult for him to hit the three subsequent strong arrows. He swung his sword and barely deflected two of them, but the last one was like a thunder, as fast as lightning, and with a "puff", it hit the target right away!

If it were an ordinary bow and arrow, it would be difficult to penetrate Ji Yuanhao's heavy armor, because he was also wearing an extremely precious gold-thread soft armor underneath.

But it happened that this arrow was shot by Yang Yanzong himself!

With his arm strength and skills, he could even shoot down a flagpole as thick as his arm, let alone just two layers of armor?

Immediately there was a muffled "puff" sound, and a flower of blood bloomed in Ji Yuanhao's chest. The heavy arrow entered from his chest, pierced through his back and came out. He groaned and fell heavily to the ground.

Yang Yanzong smiled slightly, raised his other hand, and shot another sleeve arrow into his left chest.

He was very sure that Ji Yuanhao had no abnormalities in his growth, and his heart was definitely located in his left chest.

Across the heavy rain, the two looked at each other for a moment, one with a slight smile, the other with bloodshot eyes.

Yang Yanzong immediately stopped smiling. After putting Ji Yuanhao to death, he did not want to fight any more. He immediately waved his hand and said, "Retreat!"

He retreated swiftly before the enemy troops, who were rushing to the battlefield recklessly, arrived.

The only person left at the spot was Ji Yuanhao, who was still alive, and a pile of corpses.

…

Ji Zimu was the first to arrive.

His original distance was not far.

A trickle of blood flowed out, dyeing the muddy ground red. Ji Zimu turned over and dismounted from his horse, walking forward step by step.

He leaned over and half-knelt beside Ji Yuanhao.

The heavy rain covered up many sounds. He lowered his head and others thought he was frightened and sad.

But Ji Zimu called out, "Father?"

The boy's voice was hoarse, but there was an unconcealable pleasure on his face. You are finally going to die!

Isn't it a pity not to let you know the truth?

Ji Yuanhao was already on his deathbed, but at this moment, he suddenly realized, "You!!"

Ji Zimu asked first: "Do you still remember my mother?"

Heavy rain is pouring down.

This was the second time Ji Zimu asked Ji Yuanhao this question. The first time was on the day when the new queen issued the order.

Ji Zimu held the arrow in his hand, unable to suppress his joy: "You are going to accompany her." That's great.

As he spoke, he thrust his hand downward heavily.

Ji Yuanhao's body, which was moving upward in excitement, was suddenly pressed back. His heart ached violently and his eyes widened.

He reached out but caught nothing. The last sound in his ear was vague, seeming both near and far away.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty——"

He was completely deaf.
