Chapter 248: Life-saving Grace



After his men left, he put the letter on the table. It was late that day, so he planned to go to bed.

In the past few days, I have been worried about Chu Weiyue and have not had much time to sleep.

If his health collapses, who will Chu Weiyue ask to save him?

I just lay down and suddenly found something shiny on the paper.

Wen Jingchi was extremely puzzled. Why did the letter emit a strange light after turning off the lights?

Could it be that this was a signal left intentionally by Chu Weiyue?

He didn't know what else there could be besides this explanation.

I turned on the light again and found that the light had disappeared.

After being stunned for a moment, Wen Jingchi finally realized how Chu Weiyue conveyed the information to him.

Turning around, he placed the letter in a darker place, where some candlelight could be seen.

In the semi-darkness, I could vaguely see the fonts flashing, and many important words had been deleted.

Although only fifty or sixty words were removed, the content of the letter was completely different.

After reading all the contents, Wen Jingchi was overjoyed. It turned out that this was how the letter should be read.

He knew that Chu Weiyue was extremely smart!

According to what was said in the letter, Chu Weiyue accidentally discovered where the Wateng tribe's camp was.

In addition to the main force, they also had three or four smaller strongholds. She accidentally saw them a few times from the leader's place, so she remembered them.

Although they are now in the main group, after catching their breath, according to the leader's temper, it is impossible for them to stay in the main group for long, which is very unsafe for him.

Only by staying in a safer camp can he feel at ease.

Although the information about the campsite given above is incomplete, with Wen Jingchi's own extraordinary wisdom, it is not difficult to find out where the campsite is.

In addition, even their military deployment map gave a rough direction.

Wen Jingchi successfully found out where the weakest point was.

Although it would be safer to wait a few days before encircling her, he couldn't wait even a day. He spent every day in longing for her and was afraid that Chu Weiyue would be in danger.

He immediately made up his mind to rescue the people himself the next night.

Although it would be better to encircle and suppress their large army, he couldn't care less in order to save Chu Weiyue.

The next morning, Wen Jingchi made a special plan and discussed it with his subordinates.

After listening to Wen Jingchi's opinion, the other generals were somewhat hesitant.

"Your Majesty, why don't we wait until they retreat to a smaller camp before we take action? I think this is more feasible."

"This is not appropriate. I think we should strike at once and catch them off guard. Now they think the princess is in their hands, so we won't act rashly.

We will pretend to fight them formally, and then divide our troops into two parts, one part will fight them head-on, and the other part will attack their weakest point. They will be caught off guard, and we will set a fire. With the princess's intelligence, he will be able to escape in the chaos."

General Zhou explained his intentions in detail.

Wen Jingchi nodded and said, "General Zhou is right, let's do as he says."

The others thought about it and agreed. They made a detailed plan and launched an active attack that night.

The leader of the Wateng tribe was not aware of this. Both sides were now recuperating. Now that Chu Weiyue was in their hands, he felt that Wen Jingchi would not dare to attack rashly.

There is a big mountain ahead, and it is impossible for the people of Wenjingchi to come here quietly.

As midnight approached, there was a sudden and violent drumbeat, and the chief sat up straight.

"What's going on?"

His mind was completely confused, for he knew very well that any sound of drums meant an enemy attack.

"My king, it's bad. Wen Jingchi and his men are coming to kill us. They came from the opposite side and seemed to have taken the water route around the mountains. Their troops burned our food warehouse. What should we do?"

"What?"

The chief had no idea that Wen Jingchi’s people would take the water route!

"Fight immediately, what are you still standing there for!"

The chieftain kicked him angrily and tried to get his sword.

But his men grabbed him and said, "My lord, let's run quickly. It's too late. We have run out of food and fodder. If we continue fighting, we will be wiped out."

The green mountains are still there, and we are not afraid of running out of firewood. Besides, we don’t know who tampered with the artillery fire in our military camp. Even our military advisor was killed on the spot. Wen Jingchi’s people are coming with great force. They threatened to bring gunpowder and burn us to the ground…”

Although I don't know whether this is true or not, now that the food and grass depots are gone, if we continue to fight, even if we win, we will run out of ammunition and food.

"Rescue the food immediately, as much as you can." The chief ordered the soldiers beside him.

Then he drew his sword and angrily chopped the table next to him.

"It must have been done by that bitch Chu Weiyue. I really underestimated her. If it weren't for her, how could our grain depot be burned? I must avenge this. This bitch is really too much."

"My king, let's not talk any more. Let's run for our lives. If Wen Jingchi surrounds us, it will be too late."

The chief nodded and said, "You are right. Let's go quickly and we will take revenge later."

He put the sword back into the scabbard and was about to turn and leave.

The subordinate thought of something, "But what about your concubines? Do you want to take them with you?"

In his opinion, those concubines were very important to the chief.

The chief slapped him hard in the face.

"It's already this hour, what do you need those material possessions for? As long as we win this battle, why worry about not having women? Go!"

The leader didn't care about anything else. He took his valuables and fled in panic with his men.

He deliberately asked other generals with strong martial arts skills to cover his escape.

At this moment, Chu Weiyue was sleeping, and suddenly heard arrogant shouts and grief-stricken cries.

Especially the pungent smell, I sneezed subconsciously.

"What's going on?"

There seemed to be a fight going on outside. Could it be that Wen Jingchi came to rescue her?

Chu Weiyue's eyes were filled with shock. After opening the tent, he found that there was no one guarding it and many soldiers were running away.

The little soldier who had known Chu Weiyue before secretly came to Chu Weiyue's tent.

"Miss, someone is coming to kill us. We are all busy running for our lives. You should also run away quickly. It will be too late if you are late. I don't think anyone can control you now. Run over there."

Although he was in the kitchen, he was still a local after all. Chu Weiyue had helped him before, and he didn't want to owe anyone a favor.

"Thank you very much, little brother. If I have a chance to escape, I will definitely repay you for saving my life."
