Acacia, don't be negative

Chapter 224
The roads outside the city are full of yellow sand roads.There are hillsides on both sides of the road, and for a long distance, the road looks like a canyon surrounded by mountains.Once there is an enemy ambushing on the hillside, the chances of victory for the people below are very small.

He Chen was running in the western desert, he was more free than when he was in Beijing, full of madness, all the muscles on the horse jumped up.When Ye Song's reinforcements arrived, the two sides were fighting fiercely.

The rolling stone had already fallen, killing many Beixia soldiers.But the remaining soldiers were still very brave, and the Rongdi army could not attack for a long time.In addition, as soon as Ye Song's reinforcements arrived, Rong Di's morale immediately dropped a lot.

Seeing this, the general who led the Rongdi army was about to pull back and call for retreat, when a thin sharp blade flew towards him at an astonishingly fast speed.Before he even had time to dodge, he saw a gorgeous blood spray from his throat.

At that moment, under the sunlight, Ye Song was in a daze.

The purple clothes among the soldiers are a color that has not been seen for a long time.He was still holding a scabbard in his hand, with three purple gemstones inlaid on the scabbard. Suddenly he turned his head, his eyes were cold, and met Ye Song's gaze.In Peach Blossom's eyes, light and shadow flashed for a moment, like flowers blooming and falling, extremely beautiful.With a wave of his arm, the scabbard flew out of his hand and hit Ye Song directly.

Standing in the pile of corpses, Ye Song could clearly hear his panting and heartbeat, and even forgot how to dodge.

At the critical moment, however, the scabbard barely brushed past her ears and hair.There was a scream behind him.

While Ye Song was in a trance, a Rongdi soldier raised a knife and slashed at her from behind.Before it touched it, he was hit violently by the scabbard, and his body was thrown several feet away by that force, and he fell on the earth, sand and stone wall and vomited blood continuously.

Su Jing is here.She did not expect that the person responsible for escorting the food and grass was Su Jing.

It's been a long time since we last said goodbye.Just when was the last time we separated?Was it when Su Jing took her arm to persuade her not to come to West Desert, or when Su Jing didn't remember her at first?
For Ye Song, there was no difference.

Ye Song quickly came back to his senses, and in one go, while Su Jing had no weapon in hand, he swung out his long whip, hitting several Rongdi soldiers around him who were about to rush forward.But Ye Song helped Su Jing, and she couldn't take care of herself. The Rong Di soldiers wanted to pick Ye Song's head to make military achievements, but Su Jing suddenly grabbed the end of Ye Song's long whip. When the Rong Di soldiers attacked Ye Song, he was caught off guard. Withdrew his hand and retreated.

The distance between the two was about two zhang, and the distance was reduced to zero in an instant.Ye Song tacitly pulled out a knife stuck in the corpse of a small soldier. At the moment Su Jing rolled into her arms, Ye Song put his arms around Su Jing's neck with one hand, and swept the knife behind Su Jing with the other hand. Go, there is a row of Rongdi soldiers in the middle.

The high-tipped long hair, with the taste of sunshine, swept across Su Jing's chin.Su Jing's hand on her waist tightened unconsciously, and her heart seemed to be beating alive at that moment... I don't know why...

There is a kind of tacit understanding.Ye Song and Su Jing cooperated seamlessly, and killed all the Rongdi soldiers who dared to challenge the authority.

Seeing that the general was dead, the Rong Di soldiers all deserted for fear of death, and those who ran a step slower became the ghosts of the soldiers of Beixia.

Then the soldiers began to order food and grass to clean up the mess.

Ye Song rolled up the bloody iron whip in circles, raised his eyebrows nonchalantly, lowered his eyes and said, "I didn't expect the prince to personally escort the food and grass, it is really a blessing for our army."

At this time, a man dressed as a general stepped forward, bowed to Ye Song, and said, "I met the second lady, I wonder if the second lady still remembers?"

Ye Songchu glanced at him and felt that this person looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he bowed together and said, "Lord Li."

Yes, this person is the son of Li Xiang, Li Gu.

He and Ye Song not only met each other, but also fought against each other on stage.Long ago when Ye Song tested martial arts, he was one of Ye Song's opponents, but it was a pity that he lost later.Li Xiang has always been brooding about this.

Li Gu said politely: "This time, the virtuous king and I are both supervisors of the army. We are ordered by the emperor to escort the army of the Western Expedition. We don't want to be attacked on the way. Fortunately, the second lady showed up in time with reinforcements, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Ye Song said with a faint smile, "Master Li, you are welcome."

The soldiers quickly counted the rations and found that most of the rations had been spilled due to the fierce fighting before. The Rongdi soldiers were extremely cunning. It's all military rations.If you just go on the road like this, the army rations will be sprinkled all the way.

Just when he didn't know what to do, Li Gu said to the soldiers who were struggling to separate the grain from the blood in the sand: "Don't pick any more! Our Northern Xia army is led by General Wei and Miss Er Heroic and invincible, the days of repelling the barbarians of Rong and Di are numbered. How can we use so much food? Who knows if there will be another chasing army of Rong and Di if we delay for a while? Put yourself in danger! Pack up and continue on the road!"

Ye Song didn't expect Li Gu to say this, but just by what he said, he knew what his purpose of following this time was.The reinforcements who came with Ye Song all had sullen expressions on their faces, but as long as Ye Song didn't speak, they had to endure it.

Ye Song smiled and said: "Brothers are not magic soldiers and generals. They are flesh and blood. No matter how brave and invincible you are, you have to eat first. We are different from a bunch of pedantic literati. We can't show off and starve ourselves. Talk about the elegance of Zhijie." Li Gu's face was a little dark, and Ye Song passed him directly and looked at Su Jing, "What do you think of the virtuous king?"

Su Jing said: "Master Li is not unreasonable. In order to prevent the pursuit of troops, we have to leave this place as soon as possible. As for the food." He looked up at the ring after ring of mountains in front of him, "think of another way."

The food scattered in the sand, maybe as soon as they left, enemy soldiers would come and take the food away.Is there any reason to get back the lost sweet pastry if the dog smells it?
When Su Jing said this, it was tantamount to giving up so much food.

Ye Song didn't pay much attention to food.Seeing that Su Jing also said the same thing, she raised her voice and said, "Clean up and get on the road immediately!"

A soldier said: "Deputy general, so much good food, is it so wasteful? This is the food that the army depends on for survival. Please think again, deputy general!"

Ye Songdao: "What are you afraid of? I won't starve you! Master Li is responsible for delivering food and grass. Now that most of the food and grass are lost, he will find a way! Otherwise, if it is passed back to the court, wouldn't it make people suspect that Li Xiang deliberately made things difficult for our army?" No!"

Li Gu changed his face, and said: "Where did the second lady say this? Is it my fault?" "The second lady brought people to rescue the grain army. Since we know that what we are escorting is grain and grass, why don't you make more preparations, at least bring two more linen bags. It's no wonder that little Rong Di is acting recklessly and marching and fighting. , I still can’t hang around for so many days.”

Ye Song picked up the iron whip, turned around and wanted to whip it at Li Gu, Su Jing walked side by side with her, held her arm in time, and gave her a "calm" look.Perhaps Li Gu was deliberately provoking her so that she would make a mistake and beat the supervisor, so that the court would have another topic to talk about.

Ye Song sank his mind and held back.

Back at the Beixia camp, the soldiers were dumbfounded when they saw the dusty bundles of military rations.What about food?That's not enough for everyone's teeth.

Ye Xiu also asked, "What's going on?"

Li Gu took the initiative to stand up and said: "The food was attacked by Rong Di on the way, and most of it was destroyed. This is the only thing left. Please forgive me, General Wei."

Ji Lin couldn't help it, anger came from his heart, and immediately cursed: "This is a bullshit question that can't be forgiven, you are here to find fault on purpose!"

Li Gu looked at Ye Song and said, "I have to ask Miss Ye Er, she came late, and when she came, the enemy's sneak attack was almost over."

Ji Lin stared wide-eyed and said: "Then why are you still alive, so you didn't let Rong Di cut off your head?"

Li Gu took out an assassination token and said, "General Wei, I am the supervisor handpicked by the emperor, should your lieutenant speak to me in such a tone?"

"Ji Lin, step back." Ye Xiu was incomparably calm, "This is the end of the matter, we have to think of another way. Someone, please go and rest Supervisor Li."

Li Gu still wanted to talk, but the soldiers outside came in to invite him.Seeing that Ye Xiu didn't seem to want to continue talking to him, he had no choice but to walk away.Unexpectedly, he just bumped into Su Chen who came in at the entrance of the tent.

Su Chen heard that Su Jing was also here, so he wanted to find Ye Song with all his heart, lest Ye Song would be abducted by Su Jing again if he didn't pay attention.Li Gu blocked his way at the door, which made him unhappy, frowned, his face was cold and handsome.

Su Chen has been an official in the court for many years, compared to Su Jing's current coldness and indifference, Li Gu still respects Su Chen's way of saying that the wind is rain, and bowed: "The next official sees the third prince."

Seeing a strange face suddenly appearing under his eyelids, Su Chen calmly asked, "Who are you?"

"The next official, Li Gu, came with the virtuous king for the purpose of supervising the army."

"Li Gu?" Su Chen thought for a while, walked past him with a flick of his sleeves, and said with a gust of cold wind, "What is it, I've never heard of it."

I have to say, Su Chen's unintentional words made people very relieved.After Li Gu left, Su Jing said to Ye Xiu: "Li Xiang impeached General Wei more than once in the court, the emperor had to send Li Gu and me here as a last resort, General Wei needs to be careful about him."

Ye Xiu said, "Do whatever you want."

Ye Song raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a sneer: "General Wei is upright, fighting for Beixia and Rongdi, going through life and death, but let a bunch of people who eat nothing have something to say, for fear of fucking impeachment."
