While Chu Youyang was shouting, Su Bei and Cheng Shi were not idle either. They pulled the people of Fengyuan around them and explained: "If the fighting continues, Fengyuan will really be occupied by the Gaoliu people! I heard that the Gaoliu people are cruel. Do you have a wife at home? Do you have sisters? Do you have a mother?"
Fan Gui, who was held by Su Bei, was stunned and thought of his old mother at home.
Fengyuan is located at the border between the two countries, and people from Gaoliu often appear. Fights are commonplace. Women in Fengyuan dare not go out alone, and even Qinlou is unwilling to receive people from Gaoliu.
He not only has an old mother, but also cousins.
Fan Gui hesitated.
"Hurry up! Come and persuade him with us!" Su Bei took the opportunity to urge.
Fan Gui, who was originally undecided, was shaken.
Two people become four people, four people become eight people...
Just when Mo Xiao was looking for someone to shoot Chu Youyang, dozens of people here had already stopped listening to Mo Xiao.
Chu Youyang was not that stupid. He climbed down from the tree after shouting twice, and then ran while shouting, not giving Mo Xiao any chance to shoot him at all.
As the night deepened, the soldiers who were temporarily captured were thrown into disarray, and fewer and fewer people were entangled with the Fengyuan army. Mo Xiao's face became darker and darker. Gao Liubing, who was not far away, moved.
General Xu didn't bother to settle accounts with Mo Xiao, he just shouted: "Defend Fengyuan to the death!"
The Fengyuan army swung their swords at the Gaoliu people, but because they had just been disturbed by the people, they had lost their composure and were in a state of defeat.
In the darkness, the corners of Mo Xiao's lips curled up. This was exactly what he wanted. Although there were some twists and turns, he finally achieved his goal.
Once Gaoliu invaded, he would use them to attack the capital, overthrow Chu Yan's rule, and establish himself as king. Gaoliu was straightforward, he just spread the word that Chi Man was killed by Chu Younan, Chu Yan sat back and watched, and used the position of Princess Mu to win over Yaruo, and everything went according to his expectations.
Fortunately, Mo Gaishi was well prepared. Not only did he use Yi Qianlong, the prefect of Fengyuan Prefecture, but he also kept the genius Du Quan for him.
"Once you win, I will appoint you as the founding general!" Mo Xiao's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he said to Du Quan.
The eyes behind the full mask narrowed slightly, and the voice was low and hoarse, sounding like an octogenarian, "Thank you, sir!"
"Order people to shoot those three people to death!" Mo Xiao looked at where Chu Youyang was, his eyes grim.
His beloved little Jinrong was not dead, but married to this dandy prince. Thinking of her enjoying herself on his bed every night, Mo Xiao wanted to skin him alive and tear out his tendons!
But just as Du Quan agreed, Mo Xiao's eyes suddenly widened and he said anxiously, "Wait a minute!"
What did he see? He actually saw Xue Jinrong's profile, saw her running wildly in men's clothes and throwing herself into Chu Youyang's arms? !
He blinked hard, and then he was sure that he was not mistaken. Xue Jinrong was not alone. The one who came with him was Chu Younan! "Sir! Look!" They all pointed anxiously in front of the formation.
Chu Younan had already rushed to the front of the battle formation. He held a long sword in one hand and raised the other hand high, shouting loudly: "Here is the tiger talisman. Fengyuan troops, listen to my order and quickly form a goose formation!"
He held a golden tiger talisman in his hand and exuded a murderous aura. Upon seeing this, General Xu did not dare to delay for a moment and hurried to cooperate.
The Fengyuan Army, which was originally in a declining situation, suddenly gathered its morale and worked together to resist the Gaoliu people, showing a strong potential to turn defeat into victory.
Mo Xiao frowned and turned to where Xue Jinrong was. He slowly stood up, took out a dagger from his waist and threw it far away.
That was the dagger that Xue Jinrong always carried with him. Now, he would use it to end her life. Even if it meant death, he would not let her fall into the arms of others! Su Bei exclaimed, "Jinrong, be careful!"
Before Xue Jinrong could react, Chu Youyang spun around while holding Xue Jinrong, and the dagger pierced into Chu Youyang's arm.
"Cheng Shi! Come with me to catch Mo Xiao!" Su Bei shouted and ran towards Mo Xiao.
Cheng Shi stepped forward without hesitation, but saw Du Quan suddenly took out something and threw it at him. He turned around hurriedly and knocked Su Bei to the ground.
With a loud bang, Su Bei only felt a flash of light before his eyes, followed by thick smoke. Before Cheng Shi could get up, he asked, "Abei! How are you? Are you injured?"
"I think my waist is sprained, how about you?" Su Bei asked with gritted teeth.
He and she were only a few feet away. Cheng Shi had cold sweat on his forehead, but he was smiling, "I'm fine, I just hope you're okay!"
But the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and it was obvious that he was just forcing himself.
Su Bei hurriedly pushed him away, and when he looked again, his calf seemed to be stabbed and was covered in blood.
"I'm fine. Is your waist okay?" Cheng Shi still asked her with gritted teeth.
"Come on, I'll carry you!" Su Bei stood up stubbornly.
Cheng Shi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'm so much taller than you, you can't carry me, just... help me."
Unlike Chu Younan, he had never been to the battlefield and had always lived a life of luxury. He was able to endure such an injury, which really impressed Su Bei.
When Su Bei helped him up, he felt that his hands seemed to be shaking, wondering if it was because of his leg injury.
The sound of fighting in front of the battlefield gradually weakened. It seemed that Chu Younan was heard shouting "Don't chase the desperate enemy", and it seemed that the Fengyuan army was heard cheering. They won and Fengyuan was saved.
But when Su Bei helped Cheng Shi to a distance, he no longer saw Mo Xiao and Du Quan.
Xue Jinrong and Chu Youyang also came over. Unlike in the past, Xue Jinrong did not quarrel with him. Instead, his nose was red and he looked worried. "Sit down, I'll help you. Luckily I brought some medicine!"
"Jinrong, lend me some medicine. Master Cheng is also injured." Su Bei said as he rolled up Cheng Shi's trouser legs. Under the bloody clothes, the flesh and blood on his leg was flying.
"I'm fine, you can do it yourself. Take care of your waist." Cheng Shi still spoke softly, but to Su Bei's ears, he was no longer the man who used to blush easily.
He is also a man of steel! An inappropriate teasing sounded behind Su Bei: "Look, I said that a friend in need is a friend indeed, and it is absolutely true! Your Highness Prince Su, would you consider my proposal?"
Su Bei paused and turned around to see Gu Rui looking at Cheng Shi with a motherly smile, while Chu Younan was standing beside him holding a long knife.
Chu Younan's body was mottled with blood and there were spots on his face. He looked exhausted and there was hesitation in his eyes.
"Are you injured?" Su Bei asked, turning around and sprinkling the powder on Cheng Shi's wound. Then she tore off a corner of her coarse cloth and bandaged Cheng Shi before getting up and walking towards Chu Younan.
Chu Younan pursed his lips tightly and shook his head slowly, "I'm fine, how about you?"
"I just sprained my waist. Fortunately, Master Cheng saved me, otherwise I would have been injured." Su Bei said as he looked at Chu Younan, wanting to see if he was injured.
He was injured, but not physically. Gu Rui's words lingered in his mind, lingering.
In his previous life, he had never paid attention to Su Bei, and didn't know who she liked. He heard that she was in love with Cheng Shi, and saw her helping him carefully apply medicine and bandage his wound. Chu Younan felt mixed emotions.
His path is obvious: either he wins and ascends to the throne, or he loses and his life may not be saved.
But Cheng Shi doesn't need to go through all this. He can take her back to the countryside and give her stability.
As if guessing his thoughts, Gu Rui looked at him thoughtfully, still smiling, "Your Highness Prince Su, today you have finally seen less than 10% of my ability. Do you want to take a brave general like me under your command?"
