Chapter 63 Chapter 63 Retreat.
Yun Qin has always been gentle and kind, like the gentle breeze and rain, but now in this empty hall that symbolizes royal power, his indifferent question made Wei Yan inexplicably frightened.
Outside the hall, the thunder in winter was an extremely ominous sign.
Wei Yan couldn't help sweating profusely when he looked at Song Lai. He was even more panicked when he recalled the memories of how he had instigated Song Lai to target Yun Qin and framed Yun Qin behind his back.
Now that Song Lai has surrendered to Yun Qin, he must have resolved the long-standing misunderstanding between them in advance. Then, the culprit must be clear in Yun Qin's mind.
The door of the hall was suddenly pushed open, and countless secret guards rushed in.
The Yun family's cloud pattern was clearly visible on his clothes, and it was clear who his subordinates were.
The leading secret guard shouted loudly in the hall, "Wei Yan's men have all been captured. Anyone who dares to be a traitor will be executed."
The situation is clear. This is the general trend, and it would be wise to follow the trend.
The situation in the hall suddenly changed. Except for Wei Yan and the secret guards, everyone knelt on the ground and shouted, "Young Master, you are virtuous and benevolent. Please take the throne, continue the foundation of the Yan Kingdom, and bring peace to the people."
The night was dark and eerie, with thunder and snow rumbling. Outside the palace, a bloody color spread. The bloody color spread like a piece of fine white brocade dyed with cinnabar, rendering it into a picture scroll.
Above the Guanxue Pavilion in the Yun Mansion, the sound of thunder that resounded through the sky scared Jiang Daiyi and Song Yuer.
Jiang Daiyi and Song Yuer looked at each other, then stood up and walked to the front of the pavilion, looking around.
The four gates of Yanlinwang City were wide open, and countless private soldiers of the Yun family and soldiers under Song Lai poured into the city and fought with another force.
Almost all the secret guards in the Yun Mansion went out to protect the common people, and chaos was everywhere.
Song Yu'er had never seen such a grand scene before, but as the general's sister, she managed to keep her composure. She said to Jiang Daiyi, "It seems that Young Master Yun is determined to seize the throne."
Jiang Daiyi didn't think now was a good time to seize the throne. "Yu'er, are you sure Prince Xianglin has no children?"
Song Yu'er confirmed: "Yes, Prince Xianglin is a licentious man and has long been infertile. It is impossible for him to have an heir."
It is the general trend and the will of the people for Yunqin to become the ruler of the world. However, being a king is bound to be restricted by his status, which limits his ability to do things.
His attitude in recent days has shown that he does not really want to take the throne, but today's big fuss is indeed a sign of seizing power.
Song Yu'er said with some worry, "A small portion of my brother's troops have been transferred back to Yanlin. I don't know if the Qian Kingdom will take advantage of the situation and invade across the border. I also don't know if the people and soldiers on the border can hold out."
Looking at the current situation in the world, it is difficult for Wei to accomplish anything great, and Yan is facing internal and external troubles. Only Qian can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, take advantage of the opportunity and reap the benefits.
Jiang Daiyi's eyes were like dark jade, shining brightly. She said softly, "Of course I can handle it."
Song Yu'er felt something was wrong. She asked curiously, "How can you be so sure?"
…
Thousands of miles away, the border.
As Song Yuer said, the Qiang Kingdom rushed over after hearing the news, and King Huai Geng personally led the troops to the gates of the city.
"Yan is facing internal and external troubles, and half of the troops have been recalled to the royal city. I'm afraid that your General Song Lai hasn't even helped Yunqin change his master yet. How can he send troops to support you in time?"
"Surrender. After all, I helped you when Tianque was in turmoil. If you are willing to be my subjects, I will not treat you unfairly."
King Huai Geng is nearly forty years old, but he is still full of energy. One can tell from his eyes that he is very cunning. Such people are best at using words to attack other people's defenses to achieve their own goals. They must not be trusted!
"Everyone, hold on. As long as we hold on for a few days, General Song Lai will definitely come to support us!"
King Huai Geng sighed, "He's stubborn and won't change his ways. The soldiers coming from Song are just as stubborn as he is. If that's the case, we'll destroy the city and slaughter them all."
The people in the city also came to help defend the city. Half of Song Lai's army was transferred away, and now they can only hold on. It is extremely difficult to counterattack.
Originally they thought they could hold out for a few days, but King Huai Geng had made sufficient preparations this time, and within half an hour there were signs that the city was about to be breached, and the people in the city began to panic.
"What should we do? We can't hold on! The city is about to fall..."
"How about abandoning the city?"
"We can't abandon the city. Even if we abandon it, we can't escape! Hold on!"
King Huai Geng raised his hand, preparing for the final wave of attack. "The first person to enter the city will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold..."
An arrow flew through the air and slashed King Huai Geng's cheek.
King Huai Geng looked up and saw that on the city wall, there were suddenly many ghostly people in black.
The people in the city looked at the countless men in black who suddenly appeared and asked in a trembling voice, "People from Tianque?"
"Why would the people from Tianque help us?"
"What do they want to do?"
Countless figures flew and landed on the city wall, forming a black mass, like a flock of crows. Crows have been a foreshadowing of death and ominous things since ancient times, just like the reputation of Tianque.
It must not be a good thing if it appears now.
Thunder rumbled, King Huai Geng's horse neighed, and its hooves paced back and forth in a very restless manner.
King Huai Geng reached out to calm his anxious horse and asked his deputy general beside him, "The Tianque forces don't belong to any country, so why did they suddenly appear to help Yan?"
The deputy general said, "I don't know either, but I heard that the master of Tianque has changed three months ago. I'm afraid this is the intention of the new master."
Fourteen years ago, King Huai Geng had fought with the people of Tianque.
Each of these people was like a ghost, not caring about their own life or death, and they attacked ruthlessly, using an extremely reckless style of fighting.
If they were really determined to help Yan defend the city today and use a one-for-ten life-for-life strategy, his soldiers and generals would not gain any benefit.
King Huai Geng looked at the people from Tianque on the city wall and offered them inducements.
"Why do you have to live on the edge of a knife every day? I am the King of Huai Geng of Qian State. I value talent and can promise you high positions and generous salaries. I can promise you to live a life without suffering turmoil and live an upright life. You don't have to hide your face in darkness now, which is better."
It is indeed a very tempting condition.
On the city walls, the generals and civilians cried out in fear, "Don't believe him! He just said the same thing to us, but he's going to massacre the city the next moment!"
Several Que disciples seemed to be moved and actually flew down from the city wall.
…
Yanling Yunfu.
Song Yu'er's face showed surprise: "How could Tianque be so powerful? It can rival King Huai Geng."
Jiang Daiyi poured the water in the teacup onto the wide windowsill, and the tea slowly spread out. Her eyes seemed to be able to see the battlefield thousands of miles away through the mist of tea.
"I can't stop it, and I don't want to stop it."
Song Yu'er was puzzled: "Are you going to die?"
Jiang Daiyi said, "It is an eternal principle to capture the leader first. If they dare to attack the city, then my people will lead the attack on King Huai Geng. Que Tu's body movements are cunning, and it will not be difficult for him to take the commander's head among thousands of soldiers and generals."
Song Yu'er asked Jiang Daiyi: "Are you going to let your people kill King Huai Geng? Or?"
The snow fell on Jiang Daiyi's soft hair and eyelashes. Her smile and voice were light and tough.
"retreat."
"Then everything will be fine."
Song Yu'er followed Jiang Daiyi's gaze and looked at the pool of tea on the stage. Countless tea leaves were soaked in the water, and they were slowly flowing away one by one with the water stains, like crows.
The Tianque assassin has a clear target, and only King Huai Geng is in his eyes.
King Huai Geng initially admired some of the Que Tu for going with the flow, but the next moment he panicked and said, "Those who know the current situation... stop them! Stop them quickly, don't let them come over!"
One after another, Que Tu flew down from the city wall, their figures breaking through the air. Ordinary soldiers could not even touch the corners of their clothes, but they were already getting infinitely close to King Huai Geng.
The Quetu who had not yet come down from the city wall suddenly spoke in unison, their voices shaking the sky.
"retreat."
"retreat!"
"retreat!!"
King Huai Geng was not a fool, so he naturally saw the current situation clearly. What a foolproof trap! What great things happened to Yun Qin and Song Lai! What a great new Lord of Tianque!
They actually dared to collude with him, transferred half of the army back to control the unrest in Yanling King's City, and then spread the news to lure him over, use him, resist his attack, and use him to cleanse Bai Tianque.
"Master Yunqin." King Huai Geng's eyes were filled with ferocity. He had made note of this matter.
When King Huai Geng was in danger, the soldiers attacking the city in the front naturally could not concentrate, and the defeat of the Qian Kingdom was already obvious.
The morale of the Yan army and the people rose sharply, and they shouted together. The Qian army finally took King Huai Geng's life into consideration and retreated ten miles away.
Que Tu, who had just flown down, guarded for a while. Seeing that the enemy had indeed stopped pestering him, he turned around and walked in through the city gate opened by the people.
It is said that auspicious snow is a good omen, but now even with fierce winds and heavy snow, they have finally stepped through the wind and frost and embarked on a new and promising road.
We have no control over our destiny and our paths; this has always been an excuse for the weak, an instigation for the powerful, and a deception for the beneficiaries.
They were born and raised in darkness. They didn't understand why the world was so withered, but now it seemed that the situation was not as bad as they had imagined.
