Chapter 688 The Last Ambush
Upon learning that Mu Qing was not poisoned, Hu Xin'er was overjoyed and couldn't help but hum a song while hugging her little girl: "Today is a good day, everything I wish for can come true~"
Her singing level is actually average. At best, she stays in tune, but she still sings off-tune from time to time.
However, in ancient times, no one knew what the tune of modern music was. Even if she ran away, no one would be able to recognize it, hehe!
"Good luck, I wish you good luck~" The cheerful singing came from outside the car curtain.
Mu Qing looked at her with a doting smile, "Xin'er, what song are you singing? The rhythm and rhythm seem different from ordinary songs. It doesn't seem to be from this country."
"You figured that out?" Hu Xin'er said proudly. "It's a song from my hometown. People usually sing it like that when they're happy."
The little dumpling had just eaten and drunk his fill, and seemed to be in a good mood. He opened his mouth and blew out a bubble.
Hu Xin'er said with a smile: "How is it? The song that mother sang is very nice, right? Let me sing you another song. This was a must-order song in KTV back then - Unforgettable~Tonight~Unforgettable~Tonight~"
"Mu Qing can actually listen to such an unpleasant piece of music?" Yin Li had already stood outside the carriage, secretly complaining in his heart. "So Hu Xin'er isn't good at discipline. If I had known earlier, I should have exploited her weaknesses when competing with her!"
Hu Xin'er was singing happily to herself when she suddenly heard a violent cough outside: "Your singing is too bad!"
It was Yin Li's voice.
She rolled her eyes and complained, "Isn't it enough for me to be happy? But you, Mu Qing clearly wasn't poisoned, yet you didn't tell us, causing us to be frightened for so long. Isn't that a bit too much!"
Yin Li snorted lightly, but did not deny his concealment: "You have committed this sin yourself, what does this have to do with me?"
What's more, this matter can also test the relationship between the couple. If a rift arises because of it, wouldn't he be able to take advantage of it?
Hu Xin'er was in a good mood and had a quarrel with him: "You don't let me sing, but I want to sing anyway."
She sang loudly, causing the soldiers next to her to burst into laughter. The dull army seemed to be blown by a spring breeze and became much more lively and lively.
What no one noticed was that Zhao Yunxuan also put down the book in his hand and listened quietly to the song.
From Hu Xiner's discordant singing, he seemed to be able to feel the voice of another world.
"Master is right." He didn't find the singing strange or unpleasant; instead, he felt a certain longing for it. "There are many places in this world beyond human reach. If I had the chance, I'd love to see the scenery of that world too."
Inspired by Hu Xiner, the soldiers in the army also started singing songs.
The song she sang was not bad, but her singing was confident. There were also some soldiers with musical talent. At first, there were only three or two sparse singing voices, and then gradually the number increased.
Hu Xin'er stopped in the carriage. She listened quietly to the low singing outside. She felt that the singing seemed to have a mysterious and solemn power. She couldn't help but ask, "Husband, what song is this?"
Mu Qing listened for a while and smiled, "This should be our dynasty's military song, 'No Clothes,' even veteran soldiers can sing it."
"Even if I have no clothes, I will share my robe with you. Even if I have no clothes, I will share my clothes with you..."
When the melodious singing was heard, the people lying in ambush in the dark were stunned at first, and then gritted their teeth.
They worked hard in the cold ambush here, but Hu Xiner and others completely ignored them. This was really humiliating.
Amid the singing, everyone once again came to Dinghe River where their lives had once hung by a thread, and not far in front of Dinghe River was Shilipo.
Ding River is the most dangerous place outside the capital. On both sides of the narrow road are deep cliffs and turbulent river water. It is said that there was once an evil dragon living in Ding River. The evil dragon controlled the water in the river and often caused trouble on the earth.
It was not until a high monk came forward to subdue the evil dragon that peace returned to this place.
Although Hu Xiner was in the carriage and did not see the deep cliff outside, she felt a sense of familiarity from the sound of the river lapping against the shore.
"What's wrong?" Mu Qing asked when he saw that she looked strange.
Hu Xiner smiled and said, "Nothing. I just remember the last time I jumped off the cliff. It's a bit thrilling."
The male protagonist is still frightened by the last dangerous situation. That time, the prince chased them and almost all the members of their Lu family died.
Fortunately, the path took a turn for the better and I met Master Yunhua while floating downstream.
"If there is a chance, we will definitely visit him and express our gratitude." Mu Qing said solemnly.
The little dumpling seemed to understand what was said and grinned.
Outside the carriage, the troops were also cautious when passing Dinghe River.
Everyone knew that they had not completely wiped out the prince and the Zhou family last time. If the remaining forces wanted to counterattack again, the best opportunity would undoubtedly be on the Ding River with its cold waves crashing against the shore and steep cliffs on all sides!
"If you set an ambush here, what would you do?" Zhao Yunxuan looked at the deep cliff and sighed slightly.
"I'm not versed in military tactics, only in the basics. If I were to set an ambush, I would send men around to the other side of Ding River, then attack us from both sides once our entire army reaches the narrow passage!" Lord Chu bowed and said, "Don't worry, sir. I've already sent men to investigate, and only after seeing nothing unusual will we advance."
Zhao Yunxuan nodded and said, "You've been very thoughtful. Thank you for your concern along the way."
Lord Chu said solemnly: "This is a matter concerning the princess's safety. I dare not neglect it."
Yin Li happened to be passing by and after hearing the conversation, he couldn't help but sneer: "They are good at poisons. If they set up poisonous insects and poisons on the road to Dinghe, how will you deal with it?"
Lord Chu's expression changed slightly.
Zhao Yunxuan smiled without saying anything. Although they had not spent much time together, he had already figured out the character of the person in front of him.
He said gently, "Since Pavilion Master Yin anticipated this, he must have already prepared a solution. I thank you on behalf of the Divine Might Army."
Yin Li had originally planned to argue with him, but now that her thoughts had been exposed, she snorted coldly, "What does this have to do with you?"
At this moment, the people who were lying in ambush in the dark also came out.
They had been defeated once and their numbers were not large, so they were quickly defeated by the attack of the Shenwei Army. But at this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly fell to the ground.
Yin Li's face changed and he hurried over. Seeing that the man was poisoned, he was shocked.
Hadn't he already burned the ground with blue fire? Why did this happen?
Fortunately, the remaining ones were poisonous insects with relatively strong vitality, and they were quickly turned into ashes under the powerful burning of Yin Li's blue fire.
