The World is Shocked 89. The First Show of Prominence

"Princess, something terrible has happened!"

Ye Li and his group rushed to Broken Snow Pass without stopping. Nanzhao and King Li sent out their troops too suddenly. The Black Cloud Cavalry's entry into Southern Xinjiang had already attracted a lot of attention. Now, of course, it was not as smooth as when they came. Ye Li had no choice but to take An Er and An San and several Black Cloud Cavalry soldiers with him, and the others dispersed and returned to Dongchu.

"What happened?" Ye Li frowned and pulled the reins. The Black Cloud Knight who reported the news whispered, "General Wu Chengliang was assassinated, and the reinforcements from Yongzhou were ambushed as soon as they crossed the river. The entire army... was destroyed."

Ye Li's heart trembled, "How far is it from Shattered Snow Pass now?"

An Er said, "We still have half a day to go. But...Snowfall Pass has been besieged by Nanzhao's army of over 100,000. I'm afraid we won't be able to enter the pass even if we get there."

Ye Li said, "Let's take a detour. Don't worry about Broken Snow Pass. Let's go to Yonglin first. King Li's army should be here soon."

"Yes, princess."

At Suixue Pass, there were still shouts of fighting and drums as loud as in the past few days. Murong Shen looked at the Nanzhao generals shouting at the city gate with a gloomy face. The continuous defense of the city gate for several days was a severe blow to the morale of the soldiers. Many of the generals around him could not wait to go out of the city to fight, but he stopped them one by one. "General, please let me go out of the city to fight!" The young general pleaded firmly, his eyes full of unyielding anger. The Nanzhao soldiers shouted and cursed at the city gate every day, but they could only stay at the city gate and not go out. This made these young and energetic soldiers feel angry.

"Shut up! The most important thing now is to defend the city, not to argue about personal feelings. We must not let the Nanzhao troops step into the Broken Snow Pass. This is the purpose of our guarding the border. Wait for reinforcements!"

The young general looked at him in disbelief and asked, "Will the reinforcements arrive in time?" They only had 80,000 defenders, and the Nanzhao troops surrounding them plus the Lingzhou Li Wang troops that were outflanking them from behind, numbered at least 300,000. Murong Shen was silent for a moment, then said firmly, "It's in time, as long as we can hold the Broken Snow Pass. So, don't engage in meaningless disputes."

Glancing unwillingly at the Nanzhao people who were shouting at the foot of the city, the young general gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, General."

"General!" The messenger came hurriedly, "General, the front reported that the Yongzhou General Wu Chengliang led 20,000 troops to reinforce. Just after crossing the Yunlan River, he was ambushed and died!"

Everyone present couldn't help but take a deep breath of cool air. Murong Shen felt his eyes spinning. He quickly calmed down and said, "How could it be? How could King Li be so fast?!"

"Report! General, the governor of Yongzhou opened the city gates last night and surrendered to King Li. This morning, King Li's army broke through Qingyuan City, and the vanguard will probably reach the outskirts of Yonglin City this evening." All the generals were shocked. Originally, there were not many defenders in Yongzhou, and the governor of Yongzhou, who was the highest official in Yongzhou, actually surrendered to King Li. No wonder King Li's army was able to be so powerful along the way. It's so soon, not to mention that they thought they could hold out for ten days. I'm afraid that within two days, Suixue Pass will be surrounded. Thinking of this, everyone felt a chill. Murong Shen laughed in anger, "Great! What a great governor of Yongzhou! Who is willing to defend Yonglin City?"

Several young generals clapped their hands at the same time and said, "General, we are willing to go!"

Murong Shen looked at the murderous young man in front of him and nodded, "Okay, Yun Ting, Xia Shu, I will give you 20,000 troops to defend Yonglin. Do you understand?"

"Yes, General." The two young men answered in unison, and after receiving the military order, they turned around and left. No one asked how they would defend Yonglin with 20,000 troops, and how long they would have to defend it. Looking at the backs of the two young men leaving, Murong Shen glanced at the generals present and said, "We will do the same, defend the Broken Snow Pass. Do you understand?"

"Yes! General."

The once quiet town of Yonglin is now desolate, with shops on both sides of the street closed and not even a single pedestrian on the street. Compared to the dullness and oppression of the closed gates of Suixueguan, the city of Yonglin is already full of swords and blood. Under the city wall, the siege soldiers who set up ladders tried their best to climb up the city wall, but were forced back down by the people on the city wall with stones and bows and arrows. The people in front fell down, and naturally there were people behind to make up for it. The soldiers on the city wall were also shot down by the archers below from time to time, and their faces were broken beyond recognition. At this time, no one went back to care about these things, and everyone could only fight madly. Everyone forgot that they were all from the Great Chu and were once comrades. In a confrontation, only you die and I live.

"What? I'll go first?" On the city wall, two young generals looked solemn.

"I'll go first!" Drawing his sword, the young general turned and left.

The one who was left behind snorted helplessly as he watched the soldiers going away, turned around, drew his sword and chopped down a man who was trying to climb up the city wall when the soldiers defending the city were shot.

The city gate was opened, and the young general led a team of soldiers and rushed out, rushed into the enemy's formation, and rushed straight into the enemy's formation to reduce the pressure on the city wall. The young general took the lead and killed countless people along the way. Soon a burly middle-aged man blocked his way. The middle-aged man held a big knife in his hand and swept away the people around him, mocking: "Does Murong Shen have no men under his command? He actually sent a brat to block my way! If you know what's good for you, open Yonglin City to me immediately, and I will spare your life!" The young general frowned and sneered, "My subordinates don't accept nameless ghosts. Tell me your name, you rebel, and I will leave you with a whole body!"

"I am Sun Wei, the vanguard of the Western Army, personally appointed by His Royal Highness King Li!"

The young general rolled his eyes, "It turned out to be that traitor Mo Jingli, Sun Wei... I have never heard of him, so prepare to die!" The long sword in his hand was fast and fierce, and he mercilessly chopped at the man who claimed to be the vanguard of the Western Army. For a moment, the man was in a mess, and finally died at the hands of the young man he looked down upon. The young general spat with disdain, "A pus pack dares to show off in front of me?" The vanguard was cut off, and the attacking army was immediately in chaos. The generals left to defend the city took the opportunity to attack, and soon the attacking army retreated in panic.

"Xia Shu, how is it?" Back on the city wall, looking at the enemy's defeated and retreating appearance, the young general who had just shown his skills and relieved the depression of the past few days was overjoyed. The young man named Xia Shu frowned and said, "These should be the vanguards of the enemy who are paving the way in front. Although we killed them back, but when the real elite come..." The young general couldn't help but frown, and the joy of victory just faded away. Not to mention hundreds of thousands of troops, even hundreds of thousands of pigs can trample them to death. It is already difficult for 20,000 people to defend the city, not to mention going out of the city to meet the enemy. Yonglin City is not like Broken Snow Pass. If they hold on, King Li's army may bypass Yonglin City first. Although it is a little troublesome, it is not impossible. Once Broken Snow Pass is taken, their isolated city with only 20,000 people will be in their pocket.

"Never mind him, I will beat him back if he comes! I, Yun Ting, am not the coward!" the young general snorted.

Xia Shu also gradually smiled, "Well said. Let me make it clear, it's my turn next time."

Perhaps because the vanguard troops in front were defeated, the troops behind came slower than they expected. It was not until the next morning that they heard the sound of war drums coming from outside the city. Xia Shu and Yun Ting stood on the tower and looked down. Yun Ting couldn't help but take a breath, "Did Mo Jingli bring out all the troops in Lingzhou?" The front of Yonglin City was not wide, but the dense figures with waving flags made people not want to estimate the number. Xia Shu whispered, "When I was in the capital, I heard that King Li was a fool, but now it seems that it is not entirely true." Looking at the strict and orderly formation of King Li's troops under the city, it was actually eerie. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like an army that can be led by a fool. Yun Ting curled his lips and said, "Either he has a master under him, or he is just pretending to be crazy. Can a fool start a rebellion? That's crazy."

Several people from the enemy line galloped out, and one of them, a middle-aged man who was obviously not a military commander, shouted to the people upstairs: "Listen, guards upstairs, open the city gate immediately and let us pass."

Yun Ting curled his lips, "Who are you? Can you let him go just like that?"

The middle-aged man said, "I am the governor of Yongzhou. Yongzhou has already submitted to His Royal Highness Prince Li. Why don't you open the city gates immediately to invite His Royal Highness Prince Li into the city!" Hearing this, Yun Ting couldn't help but curse, "Who did you think it was? It turned out to be this traitor. There is a road to heaven but you don't take it. If you are a traitor, you should know your place and hide somewhere. How dare you come out and show off?" He pulled out the bow and arrow from the back of the soldier next to him, drew the bow and shot the arrow at the governor of Yongzhou without hesitation.

"Ah?!" The prefect of Yongzhou, who was talking smugly on horseback, was pulled by the people next to him, and the arrow flew right past his ear. He was so scared that he screamed and almost fell off the horse. Yun Ting sighed with some regret, "This hand is too bad." The prefect of Yongzhou's persuasion to surrender was ineffective. One of them waved his hand and asked someone to send him back to the army. Then he looked up at the two people on the city wall and said, "The ones on the city wall are Yun Ting and Xia Shu, two young generals, right? The two of you have at most 20,000 or 30,000 troops, and you can't stop my 200,000 troops at all. Why bother to resist? In fact, we are all citizens of the Great Chu. If there is any damage, we will all feel sorry, right?"

Yun Ting pouted and sneered, "What a joke! You still know that you are a citizen of the Great Chu? I thought it was some traitor's dog barking here."

The people below the city changed their expressions slightly, but soon continued to smile and said, "The emperor is unjust, and King Li is the true emperor. We should naturally obey King Li's orders..."

"Bah!" Yun Ting raised his hand and shot another arrow. Seeing that the other party easily let it pass without caring, he shouted angrily: "I have seen many shameless young masters, but I have never seen one as shameless as you. The emperor is unjust... Did the emperor kill your parents or rob your wife? The real emperor... Have you never heard of this when you are far away at the border? He hooked up with his future sister-in-law before marriage, and was caught having sex with a woman on the day of the marriage. Ah... And, he fainted on the day of the wedding... If you are so weak, just stay at home and don't go out and embarrass yourself!" Xia Shu, who was standing aside, listened to Yun Ting's angry scolding without even taking a breath, and his expression was slightly embarrassed. The soldiers guarding the city couldn't help but laugh, and even the soldiers of King Li under the city looked a little strange. The general who still wanted to persuade surrender wanted to dig a hole and turn into it immediately. He pointed at Yun Ting angrily and said, "Good boy! Don't fall into my hands, or I will make your life worse than death!"

Yun Ting raised his chin and looked at him proudly, "Master, wait."

After the heavy troop movement, Mo Jingli's face was dark, and his gloomy and cold aura made the generals around him dare not say a word. Although they were far from the front, Yun Ting's words just now were transmitted with internal force. The generals who were present and following Mo Jingli knew some kung fu, so they could hear it clearly. Mo Jingli's expression was ugly, and it was conceivable, "Attack the city! I want that kid alive!"

"Yes." The people beside him waved their hands and the thunderous war drums started beating behind him. The army above began to attack the city.

Mo Jingli obviously wanted to win the battle quickly and take over most of the areas south of the Yunlan River at lightning speed before the imperial reinforcements arrived. So he showed no mercy even to the small town of Yonglin, after all, behind Yonglin was the Broken Snow Pass. This time, Yun Ting and Xia Shu clearly felt the pressure several times greater than yesterday. Just defending the city wall was overwhelming, not to mention sending troops out of the city to fight. Even if they could send troops, that small number of troops would be useless once they were trapped in the army of tens of thousands. The huge logs under the city began to hit the city gate, and even the entire city wall seemed to tremble with the heavy thumping sound. The soldiers on the city wall fell one by one, but it seemed that the enemies who wanted to climb up the city tower would never be killed. Yun Ting and Xia Shu also kept swinging their weapons to fill the gaps left by the deaths of soldiers. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Seeing the number of defenders on the city wall decreasing, Yun Ting's white battle robe was covered with blood. "What bad luck! This is the first time that the young master leads the army to fight in person, and is the whole army going to be wiped out?"

"Don't worry, the court will posthumously confer you the rank of general after you die." Xia Shu curled the corners of his lips and smiled faintly.

"Thank you for your comfort. I still want these bastards to die first!" Yun Ting said, and stabbed to death with his sword an enemy who climbed up the city wall and wanted to attack Xia Shu from the side, then picked up the corpse and smashed it directly at the person who was climbing the ladder below and wanted to come up.

"Brothers, hold on for me! If we let these rebels pass through Broken Snow Pass, we'll be finished. Broken Snow Pass has been built for hundreds of years and those barbarians from southern Xinjiang have not been able to take a step forward. We can't let it be destroyed in our hands!" Yun Ting raised his arms and shouted, and the soldiers guarding the city shouted in unison: "Defend Yonglin to the death!" Although they are also soldiers, it is difficult for people stationed in the country to understand the mentality of the soldiers stationed at the border. Guarding the national border is the most important honor and mission in their hearts, and it is also a responsibility engraved in their bones.

In the forest a few miles away from Yonglin City, Ye Li stood in the shade of a tree on the hillside and looked into the distance. The sound of weapons and horses could be heard clearly even from a few miles away.

"Sir, Yonglin City can no longer hold out." An San came quickly and reported.

Ye Li lowered her head and said, "It's quite good that they have been able to hold out for so long with only 20,000 men. Who is guarding Yonglin City now?"

An Er said, "They are two lieutenants under General Murong, Yun Ting and Xia Shu."

Ye Li frowned and said, "Just two captains?"

An Er nodded and said, "There are not many generals stationed at Broken Snow Pass. These two are the most promising young generals under General Murong and the two young generals that General Murong values ​​the most. That Yun Ting killed the vanguard of King Li's men yesterday." Ye Li frowned and said, "Mo Jingli is also in the army?" An Er nodded, pointed to a place with fluttering flags in the distance and said, "King Li should be there. Young Master...should we..." Ye Li shook her head, "Mo Jingli must be heavily guarded, and he himself is not a mediocre person. It is almost impossible to capture the king first if you want to capture the thief. An Er, An San."

"yes."

"Choose a few of yourselves and kill the governor of Yongzhou."

An Er and An San looked at each other and said loudly, "I obey your command."

Ye Li said in a deep voice: "Just kill the governor of Yongzhou and don't do anything else. Retreat immediately."

"Yes! Then sir, you..."

Ye Li took a deep breath, looked up at the blue sky and said, "I will ride with the Black Cloud Cavalry." The Black Cloud Cavalry commanders standing behind her looked at Ye Li with respect. Although they should have obeyed the princess's orders, a princess with agile skills and a sharp mind would be easier for these proud and powerful soldiers to accept than a beautiful and talented master. Although they had only known each other for a short time, the princess had been riding with them for a few days, traveling hundreds of miles a day, and crossing mountains and rivers without hesitation. She was even more agile than ordinary soldiers, which made the Black Cloud Cavalry sincerely submit to this mistress.

An Er and An San also knew that although they were called dark guards, the princess did not need someone to follow her around all the time. The princess sent them to perform various tasks for their future, hoping that they could stand among the crowd openly instead of being bodyguards who could not see the light. "I obey your orders," said An Er, and at the same time exchanged glances with several Black Cloud Cavalry commanders: The princess's safety is in your hands.

The commander of the Black Cloud Cavalry raised his eyebrows, which was considered as a response.

"Are you ready?" After An Er and An San led their people away, Ye Li turned around and asked.

"Sir, everything is ready. We can set off anytime."

Ye Li nodded, "Very good. Divide the troops into four groups and enter the battlefield from both wings. After a quarter of an hour, the rest of the people will be ready to act."

"Yes." The situation on the battlefield became increasingly difficult. At the beginning, only one or two enemy soldiers climbed up the city wall and were immediately killed. Later, the enemy soldiers who climbed up the city tower were able to take the opportunity to kill a few people. Although it has not caused much harm for the time being, I believe it will not last long. Yun Ting finally had no time to waste his energy shouting and cursing. He waved his weapon silently, and his young face revealed obvious fatigue and a cold murderous aura. Xia Shu's right arm was torn, so he had to switch to using the sword with his left hand. Fortunately, his left-hand swordsmanship was as sharp as his right hand.

One wave of attacks paused, and another wave of attacks surged up. Xia Shu raised his hand and swung his sword to knock an enemy off the city wall. Suddenly, another man appeared on the city wall, with a ferocious expression, and stabbed him with a knife. "Xia Shu!" Yun Ting shouted in surprise, and shook off an enemy and rushed over. Xia Shu was just stunned for a moment, but saw the man with a ferocious face and a look of surprise fall backwards.

Four black shadows were like four sharp black arrows, shooting into the army of tens of thousands at an alarming speed. Wherever they went, they were like a black tornado, sweeping away everything in their path, and quickly split the army's camp into pieces. Soon, the gray battlefield was split into pieces by the black.

"What is that?" Watching the black-clothed man flying past under the tower, he drew his bow and arrow, and shot three arrows at the same time without even aiming, accurately hitting the three people who were trying to climb up the tower. Then several faster black whirlwinds swept by, and the ladder under the tower turned into a pile of waste in a very short time, and then the knight on the horse rode away as if he was in a place without anyone. Yun Ting looked at the scene under the tower in shock and exclaimed.

Xia Shu covered his burning wound and forced a smile, saying, "It's reinforcements! Quick, shoot!" Because the siege ladder was destroyed, the pressure on the city wall was greatly reduced. Xia Shu quickly ordered the soldiers on the tower to shoot arrows to support the black-clad knights below. They could see clearly from the tower. There were not many reinforcements, but their momentum and combat power, as well as the momentum of thousands of iron knights, confused the enemy and made them lose their composure. There are few cavalry in the south. Looking at the black knights below, Xia Shu's heart moved and his originally tired eyes suddenly became hot, "Quick, Yun Ting, pay attention to pick them up in the capital." Even if these knights can fight one against a hundred, being trapped in a protracted battle with an army of tens of thousands is still not a long-term solution.

"Okay, I'll go out of town to pick them up!"

Xia Shu shook his head, "No need, just guard the city gate and they can fight their way out by themselves."

Yun Ting looked at Xia Shu strangely and decided to listen to the advice of this comrade who was older than him.

The Black Cloud Cavalry was invincible on the battlefield. Behind the enemy, Mo Jingli was watching the battle with his generals. He did not take the small town of Yonglin too seriously. The journey was too smooth. As long as Yonglin was captured, half of the territory of Da Chu could be secured. In fact, even Mo Jingli himself did not expect it to be so smooth. He glanced at the governor of Yongzhou standing beside him, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. Those who betray their master are likely to betray their second master. It is still useful to keep this person now, and in the future...

Whoosh! Several hidden weapons broke through the air and shot towards Mo Jingli in the crowd. Mo Jingli alertly turned his head to get out of the way. The guards around him immediately surrounded him, "There's an assassin! Protect the prince!" Several figures jumped up from all around, but did not rush towards Mo Jingli who was protected by layers of guards. Several guards who blocked the surroundings, one of them turned around and rushed towards the Yongzhou governor who was hiding on the side. The Yongzhou governor was so scared that he wanted to scream, but he couldn't hear his own voice at all. He just felt a chill in his chest, and a dagger pierced his heart. He looked up in fear and looked into a pair of cold and indifferent eyes. A low voice rang in his ears, "In accordance with the order of Princess Dingguo - treason, kill!"

"Retreat!" He casually pulled out the short knife from the chest of the Yongzhou governor, and blood gushed out immediately. An Er turned around and slashed the neck of the guard who was rushing towards him from behind, and said to the few people who were still entangled.

Several people quickly got rid of the entanglement and dispersed. They quickly mixed into the soldiers of King Li and gradually disappeared.

Mo Jingli looked at the Yongzhou governor who was lying on the ground and had already died with a gloomy face. The generals around him also looked solemn and had hidden fear and worry. They didn't hear all the words of the assassin just now, but they did hear the last sentence of treason and murder clearly. In the midst of thousands of troops and under heavy protection, the Yongzhou governor was killed so cleanly and neatly. How could they not be chilled?

Before Mo Jingli could get angry, someone shouted in surprise, "What is that?!"

Everyone looked at the battlefield and saw black-clad knights coming and going. After several charges, the soldiers in the front were already on the verge of defeat. "Where did so many knights come from in the south?" These knights were extremely fast, sometimes crossing and shuttling. From a distance, it was impossible to see how many people there were. It only seemed that the entire battlefield was filled with black knights, and corpses were everywhere. Unfortunately, the terrain outside Yonglin City was narrow, and it was impossible to deploy all the soldiers and horses. For a while, they were unable to do anything to them.

"Black Cloud Rider!" Mo Jingli gritted his teeth.

Black Cloud Cavalry! Everyone shuddered again, and the timid ones could no longer suppress their pale faces. Black Cloud Cavalry, the most elite force of the Dingguo Palace, can even be said to be the most powerful army in the entire Great Chu. It is controlled by Prince Dingguo himself. No one can command this army except Prince Dingguo and the head mistress of the Dingguo Palace who is recognized by Prince Dingguo. Black Cloud Cavalry appeared here... so... Prince Ding must be nearby!

"Impossible!" Mo Jingli said coldly, "That sickly Mo Xiuyao definitely can't get here so quickly!" He left Beijing secretly. Even if Mo Xiuyao caught up with him immediately after receiving the news, it would take at least several days for him to get here with his sick body. Even if he did, he would not be able to command the battle.

"Then... who is commanding this Black Cloud Cavalry now?" a general asked in a trembling voice.

Mo Jingli snorted. He was sure that Mo Xiuyao was definitely not in Yonglin, but who was commanding this Black Cloud Cavalry? Feng Zhiyao? No, Feng Zhiyao couldn't command the Black Cloud Cavalry...

"Your Majesty, a large number of cavalry are coming this way from the south!"

Mo Jingli was startled, "How much?!"

"Many... countless... spies were shot dead as soon as they got close enough!"

Everyone looked to the south and saw the smoke and shadows rolling on the other side of the forest, and the sound of galloping horses' hooves in the distance, which seemed to make the ground tremble. Without thousands of horses, there would be no such effect.

"My Lord..."

The retreat horn sounded, and the enemy troops retreated like a tide. At the same time, the gate of Yonglin City opened, and the black-clad knights quickly ran into the city. The heavy gate closed again. On the city wall, Yun Ting and Xia Shu looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the enemy troops go away. If these people hadn't felt it immediately, they would have been unable to hold on.

Yun Ting wiped the blood off the sword, sheathed it, and asked curiously, "Xia Shu, who is here to help us?"

Xia Shu sighed and said, "Don't brag about growing up in the capital when you go back. You can't even see this. You spend all your time collecting gossip, right?" She even knew about Prince Li's affair with his sister-in-law, yet she looked confused.

Yun Ting tilted his head and blinked, then suddenly he stared at Xia Shu with his eyes wide open, and after a long while he said tremblingly: "Xia...Xia Shu, it can't be...it can't be the one I think of, right?" Xia Shu rolled his eyes at him, "Who else is there besides that one?" Yun Ting finally screamed and ran down the tower quickly. Xia Shu shook his head helplessly and followed. The legendary Black Cloud Rider, he was also curious, okay?

The wide streets under the city wall were crowded with people and horses on both sides. But neither the people nor the horses made a sound. The whole street was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. As soon as Yun Ting walked down the tower, he felt a fierce murderous intent and an overwhelming momentum. His originally surprised and overjoyed expression involuntarily subsided, and he stood up straight and looked at the person in front.

The man in the front was also dressed in black, but he did not ride on a horse like the others. Instead, he stood there quietly, leading a black horse. Yun Ting saw the difference in him at a glance. Compared with the knights on horseback, he looked petite and kind, and did not have the fierce and aggressive aura of the knights at all. There was even a faint smile in his eyes when he looked at Yun Ting. But Yun Ting knew that this did not mean that this man was weaker than the others. On the contrary, this man should be the leader of these people.

"I am Yun Ting, the captain of Suixue Pass. Thank you for your help. I wonder...what should I call you?"

Ye Li looked at the young general in front of her who was obviously a little nervous and expectant, and couldn't help but feel amused. Her face was calm, "Captain Yun, can we talk somewhere else?" Yun Ting was still in a daze, and Xia Shu, who followed behind him, said, "Of course, please come this way. I am Xia Shu, the captain of Suixue Pass."

Ye Li nodded, turned around and said to the Black Cloud Rider behind him: "Rest where you are."

"yes."

Two thousand Black Cloud riders dismounted in unison, their movements so coordinated that it was astonishing.

Yun Ting came back to his senses and said, "Everyone must have worked hard on the journey. Why don't we go to the camp and take a rest?"

Ye Li said helplessly, "I'm afraid there's no time to rest. There's no need to bother anymore. I'm sure there are many wounded soldiers in Yonglin City who need to be taken care of. But these war horses still need the two of you to take care of them." Xia Shu naturally understood. Fortunately, although there were not many cavalrymen in Shattered Snow Pass, the fodder for two thousand war horses could still be supplied for a few days. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir. I'll ask someone to take care of them right away. Please come this way."

Ye Li nodded and followed Xia Shu to the military camp not far from the city tower.

Yun Ting looked back dazedly at the black-clad knight who had sent his warhorse away and was sitting down, either closing his eyes to rest or wiping his sword. He then looked back at Ye Li who was walking away with a few other men in black following Xia Shu. He shook his head and quickly chased after them.
