Chapter 73 [Magical World]
Due to the civil war, the relationship between the grassland and Dasheng has not been very tense in recent years. However, the people in the northern border have indeed been eyeing Dasheng for many years and have also coveted the grassland.
The north is mountainous, with high altitude and low temperature, making winter unbearable. The people in the north are eager to expand their territory.
The Marquis of Zhaoping's Mansion guarded the northern border for five years, defeating the northern army and winning battles over and over again. They retreated to the mountains and forests and dared not offend the territory of Dasheng even a step. Instead, they turned their attention to the islands in the east and the grasslands in the west.
Emperor Qingning saw that the border was much more stable and the people in the north were so cowardly. The reputation of the prince of Marquis Zhaoping was rising and he was supported by the people. He was both afraid and envious of the army trained by the Xin family, so he turned his hands to the Marquis Zhaoping's mansion.
Yan Chaoyue tightly grasped the dagger in his hand for self-defense. He only had a newly hatched black snake in the basket. It was a cute little snake and posed no threat at all, but he could let it go find Xin Ningyu and Tuoba Song.
Yan Chaoyue secretly released the little black snake.
Not long after the little black snake slipped out, the voice of Xin's army came from not far away.
"He should be around here, not far away, let's search!"
"Wait, could this be Yan Chaoyue's conspiracy?"
"Yes, how could someone who could pacify the Bor Grasslands and ascend the throne of Khan be so foolish?"
"I just saw Yan Chaoyue running in the direction of the northerners even though they were clearly attacking. Is he colluding with them? There's no way a Khan would be so foolish as to get lost and separated from his elite troops."
Yan Chaoyue was already extremely nervous, but when he heard these people's discussion, he suddenly felt more sad than nervous. How does it feel to be talked about as stupid in front of others?
However, after falling behind this time, Yan Chaoyue reflected that he was too careless. He thought that he was a time traveler and had the aura of group chat, and was the chosen one.
He did not make serious preparations for going to the battlefield and relied too much on Xin Ningyu.
“Ding ding ding—”
Yan Chaoyue saw that Jiang Lili had sent him a message and quickly clicked on it.
Jiang Lili gave Yan Chaoyue the secret code for contacting Xin's army, and told him that Xin Che was writing a personal letter, which would be delivered soon.
Just as Yan Chaoyue was distracted by checking the group messages, a scimitar was already blocking his neck.
"Danzhuo Khan, it seems that you have really fallen behind."
A chill sound came from above his head, and Yan Chaoyue swallowed.
"Stand up."
The other person has a strong evil aura and it's obvious that he has killed many people.
Just as Yan Chaoyue was about to say the secret code for the meeting, an arrow flew from behind the two of them and pierced into the shoulder of the Xin family soldier who was holding him hostage, and blood splattered on Yan Chaoyue's face!
The scimitar that was across Yan Chaoyue's neck fell onto his shoes with a bang, making him scream.
"Old Wu!"
Someone immediately stepped forward to hold the member of Xin's army who was hit by the arrow.
"The people from the North are catching up, hurry up!"
"Take Yan Chaoyue away, he's our bargaining chip!"
In the chaos, Yan Chaoyue was taken away by Xin's army and found a cave to hide.
This group of more than 20 Northern Border Army soldiers are all elite soldiers who can fight ten enemies at once, so they have been able to hold out until now in various encirclements and suppressions.
Yan Chaoyue saw that all these people had injuries of varying degrees, and almost no one was unscathed. The only word he felt was "tragic".
The situation on Xin's army's side was really bad. The soldiers surrounded the member who was shot by an arrow.
Someone called out to the military doctor in the team: "Doctor, please save Old Wu!"
The young man, known as the military doctor, had a bitter expression on his face. "We've run out of wound medicine, gauze, and disinfectant. Old Wu already has an old injury, and I've also injured my wrist..."
As the military doctor was speaking, his eyes turned dark and his head tilted!
"Military doctor!"
Everyone's expressions suddenly became uglier and stiffer, and even the people in the team who could treat illnesses fell down!
At this time, the person guarding the cave entrance cried out in alarm, "Oh no! General Tuoba Song, the grassland Khan's confidant, is leading his men straight towards the cave, as if they know we are hiding here!"
Yan Chaoyue was delighted because it was the little black snake who came with his people.
"Have we fallen into Yan Chaoyue's trap?"
Everyone stared at Yan Chaoyue angrily. The deputy team leader was thinking about what kind of use Yan Chaoyue could bring to them now. However, no matter how they calculated, they would eventually die here today.
A feeling of despair spread in the cave.
The Xin family army has killed countless enemies on the battlefield to defend the Great Sheng Dynasty. Will they end up lying dead in the wilderness?
"I thought that by escaping the initial crackdown, I would have the opportunity to bide my time and eventually rescue the exiled Marquis and the Crown Prince."
The deputy leader tragically drew his sword, "I didn't expect that the way of heaven is so cruel. You and I will eventually——!"
"Wait! How about we discuss this later?"
Yan Chaoyue looked at so many people drawing their swords at the same time and spoke tremblingly, breaking the poignant and tragic atmosphere that had already been created.
"Iron armor, cold and hard, but not afraid!"
The moment everyone in the cave heard this line of poetry, they froze and began to wonder if there was something wrong with their ears.
How could he hear the secret code designed by the prince from the mouth of the brutal Khan who was born and raised in the Bor grassland tribe?
So magical!
The deputy team leader came back to his senses and responded to Yan Chaoyue's signal in surprise: "Pointing the sword to the sky, the intention is even more crazy?"
Yan Chaoyue bowed and said: "The sound of the Hujia brings tears to my eyes, and the soldiers are still dreaming of returning."
Just now, Yan Chaoyue described the appearance of this deputy leader to Jiang Lili, and Jiang Lili conveyed it to Xin Che. Through Jiang Lili's description, Xin Che realized that this was Deputy Leader Yu of the Jiazi Infantry Team.
He told Jiang Lili about some of the deeds of Deputy Team Leader Yu, and Jiang Lili told Yan Chaoyue, and also delivered the handwritten letter written by Xin Che.
Yan Chaoyue called the deputy captain in a familiar tone: "Brother Yu, I've heard the prince talk about you a long time ago."
"You are brave but careful, and you train your troops well. No matter how useless a person is, he can become a talented general in your hands."
He took out Xin Che's handwritten letter from his bag and stuffed it into Deputy Captain Yu's hand.
Deputy Captain Yu took the letter and quickly opened it. His fingers were shaking as he held the letter. He could recognize the words individually, but he was confused when he put them together.
In the letter, the prince told the man from the grassland tribe that he was a member of the Xin family army and his friend.
The Khan of the grassland is the power of the prince. What does this mean?
Deputy Captain Yu stood in awe. He knew that the prince would have a backup plan, but he didn't expect it to be so big!
"Khan, we were reckless just now."
Deputy Captain Yu gave the letter to his brothers to read and circulate. The Xin family soldiers were silent after reading it. What the hell, it seems that the Khan of the Bol Grassland is really one of them?
"Let me check on the injured first."
Yan Chaoyue went to see the fainted military doctor first: "The wound is infected and he has a fever due to overwork. I will give him some medicine later."
