Chapter 241 Nightmare
The wind at Yanliang Pass has its own sound.
Over the past thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of loyal bones have been buried here, and the wind is filled with regrets that cannot be blown away.
Chen Yu walked on the vast yellow earth, with the towering city wall behind her. The clouds were so low that it made it hard to breathe.
She knew she was dreaming.
Rustle——rustle——
The sound of footsteps gradually turned into the gurgling sound of mud.
Chen Yu looked down and saw that the loess was soaked in blood and gradually became a little soft when stepped on.
"Dad." Chen Yu called out to the man on the slope calmly.
Shen Zhongan turned around and said, "Come on, come up."
Chen Yu walked up on the blood-soaked yellow sand. As soon as she stood up, she was taken breath away by the scene before her.
Even though she had seen the same scene countless times in her dreams and in reality, she still couldn't feel calm about what she saw.
She desperately wanted to find an embrace that would take her away from the nightmare.
But when he turned around, Shen Zhongan also disappeared in the wind.
"father--!"
Shen Yu shouted and searched for Shen Zhongan's body among the endless corpses.
“Ayu…Ayu…”
A faint call came from under the mountain of corpses.
Chen Yu rolled and crawled over, moving the corpses away with her bare hands.
She flipped the pages desperately. The voice was getting closer, but it was less and less like Shen Zhongan's voice.
She didn't notice it, but gradually felt excited as she got closer and closer to the sound. It was almost there, she was about to find it.
When the last body was moved away, she saw the face lying underneath.
It was her own face, eyes wide open, with a weird smile on her face.
Chen Yu fell down instantly.
Suddenly, everything around changed. The cold tide quickly emerged from the ground, and the vastness around turned into pavilions and towers.
The water reached her nose, and Chen Yu struggled and flapped her wings hard in the water, trying to grab something.
She grabbed a warm hand in the cold lake water.
When hope came, the owner of the hand turned around and coldly broke away from her hand.
Chen Yu suddenly sat up from the bed, gasping and covering her face with her hands.
She had a dream on the first day she arrived at Yanliang Pass. She hadn't had such a strange and terrifying dream for a long time. She felt death again.
Xie Tingzhou's warmth was like a mountain, suppressing her nightmare.
Even if she inevitably fell into the dream again, he could quickly pull her back.
My palms were wet, I didn't know if it was tears or cold sweat.
Chen Yu took out the cloak that no longer had any trace of Xie Tingzhou on it and wrapped it around herself, then pulled the quilt over it and fell asleep with her eyes open.
After hearing what happened, Changliu calmed down in the tent. He returned to the next tent and took out paper and pen from his bag.
Si Xi had been woken up long ago and asked him, "The princess had a nightmare, why didn't you wake her up? Why are you standing outside the tent listening?"
Changliu ignored him and took notes carefully under the lamp.
"What are you doing writing so late at night?"
"You don't understand. This is what the prince told us before we set off. If the princess doesn't sleep well at night and has nightmares, she must write it down." Chang Liu said as he started writing.
There is something wrong here, but Si Xi didn't dare to ask. This was not something he could control.
The master was very generous to him, and he followed Shen Yu to do things, and his family was properly settled.
The longer he follows him, the more he understands one thing: don't get involved in things that shouldn't be your business.
Si Xi pulled up the quilt, turned over, and slept facing the wall.
…
At dawn the next day, the people sent by Cao Guangjin arrived.
Xiao Chuan sat in the tent with his horse and sword in hand, "What does Mr. Cao mean by this? He invited us to the city but didn't come himself."
Chen Yu held the post and said, "The enemy has already hit me, and he still has time to play such a trick on me."
At the same time, Cao Guangjin paced back and forth in the room.
"This Chen Yu only talks half of the story. She only talks about digging trenches but doesn't tell us how to dig and how wide to make them."
"Then Sir," the people below asked, "Are you still digging?"
"Dig!" Cao Guangjin stopped and said, "Dig first, send out scouts to watch, and if there is an enemy attack, send them back immediately. Why can't we invite this guy?"
"It would probably be easier if Your Excellency went to invite her in person, since she is the Princess of Beilin after all."
"What do you know?" Cao Guangjin scolded, "I discovered yesterday that although she is a woman, she is not easy to control."
Chen Yu in the other tent said, "If he comes to ask me, it would seem too urgent. If he wants something from me, he can only accept my terms. That's why I asked him to dig trenches yesterday."
Xiao Chuan asked: "Shall we go then?"
"Go." Chen Yu threw the note on the table. "But we can't go so early. We have to wear him down first. The reason why we are not moving now is to make the deployment smoother. No matter how anxious we are, we have to wait. If we are careless about this, when a fight really breaks out, will the garrison listen to him or me?"
Xiao Chuan nodded, "We are anxious, but he must be more anxious than us."
Chen Yu tilted her head, "Pass my order, organize the troops at noon, and set out to enter Ganzhou City at 3 p.m."
"Not waiting anymore?" Xiao Chuan was dumbfounded. "Didn't you just say there was no rush?"
"Don't worry." Chen Yu said, "He probably can't wait until noon."
Chen Yu's guess was correct. She was anxious, but Cao Guangjin was even more anxious than her, so he came in person to invite someone at 9 o'clock.
Whoever asks for help from others and bows his head first is actually handing over the initiative.
Ten thousand soldiers entered the city, and without Shen Yu's arrangement, they all went about their business separately.
Those who were digging trenches were digging trenches, and those who were preparing armaments were preparing armaments, all in an orderly manner.
Cao Guangjin watched from the city wall. It was obvious that Shen Yu had already made the layout and was just waiting for him to bow his head.
Last night she said she didn't want military power, she wanted him to beg her to lead the troops.
He lost the game of winning people's hearts. No matter whether he was convinced or not, he had to bow his head at this time.
If you want to be cunning again, you have to consider whether you have the ability to fight.
Just as Yanliang Pass was busy making preparations for the battle, several horses on the official road rushed towards Ganzhou Prefecture inside Yanliang Pass, carrying an imperial edict.
