Chapter 161 Seeing Ye Du Again

The fighting continued, and the air was filled with extinguished sparks.

The smell of gunpowder filled my nose, and the smell of blood was so thick that it seemed to turn into an endless ocean that swallowed me up.

On the front line, Manhuang, Zou Tao, Wen Suili and the generals of Snow Region were fighting against the Ze Army. Secretly, Yanyu led the elite troops to take advantage of the night, suppressing any movement and quickly ambushing and killing the Ze Army who were on guard, and then moved swiftly towards the Ze Army's base camp.

The main force of the Ze army was attacking the city in the front, and the defense of the base camp was relatively weak. Yunyu made a gesture to signal the troops to hide and await orders, while he himself put on the armor stripped from the corpses of the Ze army and prepared to sneak in.

There were some white-skinned people in the Ze army. They were talented people from other countries recruited by the Emperor of Ze. In addition, it was dark and the war was urgent on the front line, so no one noticed the abnormality of the jade in their anxiety.

There are many military tents stationed here, but the main tent is not difficult to distinguish. In the dim candlelight, the silhouettes of several generals have been cast on the tent fabric. After about a quarter of an hour, three generals walked out and rushed to the front line for support, leaving only one person in the tent.

Yanyu narrowed her eyes, thinking that this might be the real commander-in-chief.

He hurriedly pretended to report military intelligence, opened the curtain and went in. The moment his eyes met that person's, Yanyu's eyes widened in surprise.

His sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, his eye sockets were deep and dark, his eyes were dull and lifeless, and his facial lines were smooth and cold. The man sat in the main seat and looked at him expressionlessly. Who else could it be but Ye Du?

But one thing is certain: the golden lines that previously only reached his neck now covered half of his face, like a flower branch spreading out completely. Even the corners of his eyes were wrapped around by the lines, imprinted on his bronze skin, swaying in the warm yellow candlelight, which was indescribably beautiful and weird.

The military camp was quickly surrounded. It turned out that Yanyu had been discovered long ago. The young man held his sword to resist the attack and shouted at him desperately: "Ye Du!"

Ye Du's long hair fell softly behind him. He raised his eyelids and glanced at Yan Yu lightly. There was no light in his empty eyes.

One group of Zejun chased after Yanyu, while another group carefully protected Yedu.

Emperor Ze has issued an order that the Third Prince must not make any mistakes and must not get hurt. After conquering the Snow Region today, the Third Prince will need to search for what Emperor Ze wants.

As the siege and attacks came one after another, Yanyu fought back with a sword in one hand and shot arrows with the other.

There was a "whoosh" sound in the air, and the hidden troops received the signal and quickly rushed to support.

There were cuts all over Yuyu's body. The young man gritted his teeth and fought fiercely. His hair was disheveled and some of it was even cut off and fell to the ground. "Ye Du!"

He shouted urgently, but Ye Du didn't respond at all. The man frowned unhappily and put one hand on the sword at his waist, ready to kill.

"You don't have to do it yourself. Hey, you guys protect the Third Prince, and we will repel the enemy!"

"yes!"

The majestic general of Ze State swung his sword and fought against Yan Yu.

The two were evenly matched.

Ze State is full of brave generals who have been training in riding and archery on the prairie since childhood. They are the best among the five countries in terms of physical strength and reaction ability. But at this moment, Yanyu is actually in a tough battle.

The young man looked at Ye Du unwillingly, then quickly adjusted his state and focused on fighting the enemy.

The two armies fought fiercely, and Yunyu was gradually losing. When the situation was at a stalemate, a group of reinforcements suddenly came from afar.

"Hey, I'm here to take over!"

The usual nonchalance in his voice was gone, and a handsome young man came rushing over. It was Xingzhi who had disappeared after coming to the Snow Region.

He was dressed in fine clothes and rode a horse, and behind him were many silver-haired Taoists with extraordinary temperament.

Xingzhi was not idle. As soon as he arrived in the Snow Region, he rushed back to the Taoist temple to discuss how to resist the strong attack of Ze State. The Emperor of Ze came with the purpose of conquering the Snow Region in one fell swoop. Fortunately, there is still a turning point now.

"Form a formation!"

The silver-haired Taoist leader gave the order, and the rest of the members stood in the Five Elements and Bagua positions and began to rotate and evolve. The secrets of the Taoist formations were exquisite, but Emperor Ze was fully prepared this time. Since he came to attack the snowy area, he would naturally consider Taoism.

General Zeguo shouted: "Someone come and break the formation!"

They also invited an expert who was proficient in formation.

The flames rising into the sky seemed to devour all the killings. Xingzhi, holding the dagger, slashed with his backhand to kill an enemy, and came to Ye Du's side with a sturdy posture.

"Hey, what are you doing? Come with us!"

Yanyu was shocked: "Be careful!"

Xing Zhicuo was stunned and bent backwards to dodge the sword. He frowned and looked at Ye Du who was pointing the sword at him. His voice was filled with confusion and displeasure: "Why, you really don't want to go back to Jingguo?"

Ye Du was like a puppet with strings tied to its limbs and being controlled. He had no expression on his face and didn't say a word. He just kept attacking Xing Zhi numbly.

Ye Du's martial arts skills were very strong, at least Xing Zhi would not gain any advantage if he fought with him. Xing Zhi was also smart, and he noticed that something was wrong with him and quickly got up and left.

The battle is tough on the front lines, and it's the same here.

Manhuang was so angry that his eyes went red, and Wen Suili was covered in blood.

The Taoists maneuvered here, and Xingzhi and Yanyu tried to destroy the enemy headquarters.

The spring days with flowers in full bloom never seemed so dark.

There was not a single bright color on the sky.

…

Jingguo, late at night.

Jun Lin gathered the clothes on his shoulders and stood alone in the sleeping imperial city, on the cold steps, in the dark haze, waiting for dawn.

She seemed to have turned into a statue, standing still, her beautiful jawline raised, her slender and sharp eyes staring silently into the endless night.

The night wind was very cold, not worthy of the warmth of spring. It made her hair flutter and her clothes sway. The cold water vapor wet her long and slender eyelashes. The master of Jingguo just stared at the sky silently.

After an unknown number of hours, she finally made it through the nearly hopeless night. The sky began to turn pale, marking the dawn.

Jun Lin's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed. She took off her clothes from her shoulders again and turned to go into the bedroom.

Look, it's daybreak.

…

It's dawn.

After a night of killing, the Ze army reluctantly withdrew.

Xueyu won the victory, but no one was happy.

The piles of corpses on the ground show the cruelty of war.

They sat there, leaning against the bodies of their companions, and fell asleep, until they collapsed from exhaustion.

Yanyu and Xingzhi supported each other and led the remaining troops back. Manhuang staggered and tried to steady his body. Wen Suili was dressed in red, even her long snow-white eyelashes were a dazzling red.

He stood straight, looked up at the dim sky, and closed his eyes tiredly.

[This day will eventually dawn]

He suddenly recalled what the man said when he was in Guigu.

The day finally dawned.

…

The retreating Ze army was so unwilling to give in. Several generals, under the order of Emperor Ze, destroyed the Snow Region and then let the Third Prince go in to look for something. It was just one step short, just one step short.

Damn it.

Just as the old general was feeling indignant, he caught a glimpse of Ye Du holding his forehead with a painful expression. He was startled: "What happened?"

Ye Du tried to speak, but he opened his mouth several times and no sound came out. He was back to his childhood, when he couldn't even speak.

A trace of pity flashed through the old general's mind.

Ye Du touched the golden lines on the side of his face in a daze, and suddenly felt empty in his heart.
