Chapter 208 Jin丨Exclusive release by Jiang Wenxue
Yu Qi couldn’t understand Lu Xiaofeng’s behavior. After a long silence, he told the system: [Is he sick?]
System: [It’s obvious that he’s joking with you.]
Xue Chen: [I don’t understand.]
System: [Use your other brain to think about it?]
Xue Chen: [Trouble.]
He stared at Lu Xiaofeng without any expression on his face, which made Lu Xiaofeng very embarrassed.
Lu Xiaofeng said awkwardly: “You should cooperate a little.”
Yu Qi tilted his head, and his light gray eyes passed through him and fell behind him: “Let’s go.”
He performed vividly. If Lu Xiaofeng hadn’t seen him disguised as Pei Rui with her own eyes, she would really think that the person in front of her was Pei Rui himself.
Pei Rui followed King Taiping in many battles. When he lived in the palace, he occasionally met King Taiping's subordinates. However, he was blind and not very outgoing. He rarely took the initiative to communicate with others and didn't know many people.
But most of King Taiping's subordinates knew him, so this face was still very useful. He passed all the way and successfully came to the main general.
Li Wei came out to greet him: "Mr. Pei, why are you here?"
"I'm here to help." Yu Qi took out the original jade token and showed it to him, pointing to Lu Xiaofeng next to him and said: "He too."
Lu Xiaofeng said helplessly: "I'm sorry for coming here in such a presumptuous way. If you can help us in any way, please don't hesitate."
Li Wei invited the two to come in: "Mr. Pei's strength is obvious to all. I think your friends are also very important. With the help of the two of you, I will be much more relaxed."
The jade token in Yu Qi's hand is made of rare materials and the workmanship is even more delicate. The cost of imitation is extremely high, and it is basically impossible to be fake. In addition to Pei Rui's face, even if there was no letter from King Taiping, Li Wei did not doubt their identities at all. He directly arranged accommodation for the two and briefly explained the war situation to them.
Since the beginning of winter, the border has been unstable. The Jin army came to rob and plunder every now and then, and there was no peace for a few days.
Fortunately, King Taiping kept sending reinforcements, and the lost troops were replenished, and the food and grass were never cut off. In addition, the firearms developed by Xie Heng enabled them to hold their positions and pursue the victory.
After the capture of Damingfu, the situation reversed, and the Jin army was no longer as arrogant as before, and became cautious.
King Taiping did not order a retreat, so Li Wei stayed here, planning to continue the siege and take back his homeland.
But attacking a city is much more difficult than defending it. The troops and material resources required have doubled. Damingfu has not been taken over by the Daxing yet. There are too many Jin soldiers inside. If you are not careful, you will be surrounded by Jin soldiers. Li Wei has thought of many ways, but he dared not act rashly. The stalemate has not yielded any results.
Xue Chen: [Those people in the court are useless except for dragging their feet!]
System: [Xiao Liu, deal with them!]
Xue Chen: [I originally wanted to keep Xiao Liu's weak and kind personality, but now it seems unnecessary. Cut the
Gordian knot and kill those who advocate surrender!] System: [When you attack Tong Guan, Xiao Liu's personality will collapse!]
Xue Chen: [Xiao Liu is me. I have the final say on whether the personality collapses or not. 】
System: [……]
After figuring out the situation on the front line, Xue Chen's thinking became clearer and he made a quick decision. He manipulated Liu Yixuan's vest and had his subordinates called over for questioning.
Yu Qi said, "General Li, don't worry. The current deadlock will not last long and will be broken soon."
Li Wei saw that he had no intention of explaining in detail, so he didn't ask any more questions. He smiled and said, "With Master Pei's words, I feel relieved."
Yu Qi exchanged a few polite words with him and left with Lu Xiaofeng.
Lu Xiaofeng was extremely curious: "Do you really know what happened on the battlefield?"
Yu Qi looked straight ahead, his light grey eyes slightly dull, and he looked like a real blind man: "How could this be false?"
Lu Xiaofeng now knew why he looked so much like Hua Manlou when he disguised himself as her. This kid must have pretended to be Pei Rui many times!
"You just told General Li that the situation will be solved soon. But you have been with me these few days and have never come into contact with other people. The news in your hand should be from many days ago. Things change rapidly on the battlefield. The news from a few days ago should not be wrong now, right?"
Yu Qi couldn't hear his concern, but she could hear that he was reminding herself tactfully, "Yun Heyan is very reliable, you can trust him."
Lu Xiaofeng: "Yun Heyan?"
Yun Heyan left quietly after returning to the shore from the nameless island. Lu Xiaofeng thought he left because he didn't want her to know something, but she didn't expect that they were going the same way!
I don't know what Yun Heyan did in private... He should have contacted people from the Taiping Palace, right?
Yu Qi: "We will be able to see him soon."
Lu Xiaofeng: "Hearing you say that, I am actually looking forward to meeting him."
-
Yun Heyan arrived at the border two days earlier than Yu Qi. His identity was unknown and he had no token, so he did not go to the military camp, but went directly to the Kingdom of Jin to sow discord.
When Liu Yixuan was undercover in the Zhao Palace, Yun Heyan went there to eat and live. When he left, he directly abolished one of their princes, leaving Wanyan Honglie with a lot of trouble. With such a deep friendship, it would be wrong not to go and pay him a visit in his later years.
Yun Heyan's [Night Vision] skill is at full level, and he can move freely at night like a beast.
After arriving at the border, he had been resting during the day and moving at night. He had already figured out where the food and grass were stored, and was familiar with the nearby terrain. He could move tonight.
Yun Heyan came to the vicinity of the barracks from a distance, picked a tall tree, sat on the branch with his eyes closed and rested, and paid attention to the movements around him.
For fear of alerting the enemy, when he was scouting the enemy last night, he suppressed his bloodthirsty desire and did not hurt a single enemy, but he could not guarantee that no one would notice him, so he had to be careful.
Everything was normal in the Jin camp, and there was no increase in vigilance or lowering of defense, but there were quite a few messengers coming and going.
When it was almost dark, Yun Heyan came down from the tree, hid by the roadside, ambushed in the weeds, and successfully intercepted a messenger.
He drank some blood to calm his restlessness, looted the body, put on his outer robe, tied a belt and ornaments, dressed himself up like a Jin man, and then buried the body.
Yun Heyan opened the letter and took a look. He found that it was all written in Jinwen. He didn't light up the [Jurchen] skill, so he couldn't understand a single word.
Time was limited, so Yun Heyan put the letter away, rode the opponent's horse to the vicinity of the military camp, tied the horse to a tree, and sneaked into the enemy camp after it was completely dark.
The clothes he was wearing were similar to those of the Jin soldiers, so even if there was some fire, he would not be recognized at once.
Without the help of light, Yun Heyan went directly to the grain and grass. He took out a bottle of wine from his arms, poured it on the grain, took out a fire starter to ignite it, and watched the fire spread with his own eyes. When there was a commotion outside, he quietly left the camp and rode away outside.
After leaving the Jin army camp, Yun Heyan slowed down, threw away his clothes, and rushed to Xingguo in a leisurely manner.
System: [I thought you would kill Wanyan Honglie.]
Xue Chen: [I did, but Yang Kang is at a critical moment and has been hesitating. Wanyan Honglie's shortcomings have not been exposed to Yang Kang in time. If he dies now, Yang Kang's guilt towards him will definitely increase dramatically, and he will never stand on the side of Xingguo.]
System: [That makes sense. Then when can we take action?]
Xue Chen: [We don't have to let him die, we can lock him up. Or wait until the war is over, send Wanyan Honglie to the nameless island, and Yang Kang can see him whenever he wants.]
System: [......]
Pervert!
It's ok that you imprisoned your own brother, but you also taught Yang Kang to imprison his adoptive father!
The more I think about it, the more perverted it is!
Xue Chen: [Go to sleep, go to sleep, we'll leave tomorrow.]
The main body packed up the things, took his brother and drove to the suburbs at dawn.
System: [……]
Yun Heyan came to the camp and was stopped by the soldiers outside.
He turned over and got off the horse, looking at the other party coldly.
Yu Qi opened the tent and said from a distance: "Let him in."
The soldiers knew Yu Qi's identity, but he came suddenly and had no position in the army. Even if he was the adopted son of King Taiping, his words did not count.
Just when the soldiers were hesitant, Li Wei walked out of the central army tent and glanced over here: "Didn't you hear what Master Pei said? Why don't you let him go."
Yun Heyan successfully entered the marching camp.
System: [I thought Xiao Mian was talking to those people outside, but it turns out she was talking to General Li.]
Xue Chen: [What Xiao Mian? That's Xiao Qi.]
Yu Qi followed Li Wei directly to his tent, and Yun Heyan followed without saying a word.
Lu Xiaofeng had no idea what was going on. She looked outside, then at herself, and quickly picked up the outer robe next to her and put it on, tied the belt, and followed to the main tent.
The system noticed Lu Xiaofeng's movements and couldn't help but remind her: [You're not wearing an outer coat.]
Xue Chen: [My internal strength is very strong, I'm not cold at all.]
System: [Is this a question of whether it's cold or not!]
Xue Chen: [I'll go to sleep soon, and in the army, everything is kept simple, there's no need to make such a fuss.]
System: [Is this how you keep everything simple! 】
Xue Chen: [Hehe, I have no shame. Anyway, I am not the one who is uncomfortable, so who cares. 】
System: [……]
Yun Heyan said: "Half an hour ago, I set a fire in the Jin army camp, and at least 50% of the stored food and grass will be burned."
The winter in the north is cold and dry, and the air humidity is very low. The food itself is dry and it is particularly easy to burn.
Moreover, the fire started in the middle of the night, and the soldiers were still asleep, so their reaction would be slower than during the day. Yun Heyan waited for the fire to spread before leaving, and the final result could be roughly estimated.
Li Wei was shocked: "What?"
Yun Heyan: "If General Li led the troops to attack at this time, he should be able to verify it with his own eyes."
Li Wei: "Who are you?"
Lu Xiaofeng: "..."
It turns out that you don't know each other.
Yun Heyan: "I am Yun Heyan."
Yu Qi said indifferently: "Don't waste time anymore, go quickly."
Li Wei had heard of Yun Heyan's name, and today was the first time he met him. He was not sure about Yun Heyan's temper, and it was even more impossible for him to put the lives of his soldiers in danger. Even if Yu Qi was fanning the flames, he would not waver.
Li Wei sat on the chair: "Tell me in detail."
Yun Heyan told him what he had done in the past few days, and then introduced him to the situation in the Kingdom of Jin.
He took out the letter that he had intercepted halfway: "You can find someone who understands the Jurchen language to take a look, but I don't think it's anything important."
