Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 966 The Missing Shui'er

"Mr. Huangfu, for the current plan, only you, the Song Kingdom, send troops from Qinzhou to help us recapture the Wusheng army and reopen the grain road." Before Huangfutong finished speaking, Ying Cheng Lin Buchi stepped forward and grabbed Huangfutong's arm , said with a distorted expression on his face.

Since Yingcheng Linbuchi led the Tubo army to capture Lanzhou City, as time passed, he had never won a single battle. The [-] army he led was attrition day by day, and now it is less than [-].At that time, although Huangfutong had designed the Anduobu to take the lead in fighting the White Tiger Army, he was forced to lead [-]% of the Tubo Kingdom's troops to attack Lanzhou, but from the bottom of his heart, he did not want to firmly occupy Lanzhou.He thought that with the support of Song State, he would be able to defend Lanzhou, but now it seems that he was so wrong, and he was far from underestimating the strength of Xiangfu State.At the same time, he also overestimated the courage of the prime minister of Song Dynasty and his control over the army of Song Dynasty.

Right now, Ying Cheng and Lin Buchi understood that although he still had an army of nearly [-] and Lanzhou City was still firmly in his hands, he... was already in trouble.The most important thing is that since they took down Lanzhou, their Tubo army has never won a big victory, which made him feel more and more uneasy.

Huangfu smiled wryly in his heart, thinking that Yang Jiye of Xiangfu Kingdom had led [-] troops from the west to return home, and [-] of them had gone to Huangwan Pass. How dare Song Dynasty send troops to Xiangfu Kingdom at this time.But he couldn't let Ying Cheng Lin Bu Chi know about this matter, and said calmly: "Your Excellency Ying Cheng Lin Bu Chi, the situation of Wu Shengjun and the situation in Lanzhou have sent the courier to my university urgently. The Prime Minister of Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty court think that they will soon send an army to meet Lord Ying Cheng Lin Bu Chi. But before my Great Song Army came, Lord Ying Cheng Lin Bu Chi must defend Lanzhou City. Now the result of several field battles It can be seen that even the most elite iron cavalry under Lord Ying Cheng Lin Bu Chi's command is no match for any legion in Xiangfu Kingdom. But if it is to defend the city, Lord Ying Cheng Lin Bu Chi still has nearly [-] troops, and With the help of General Cao Wei to deploy, even if Xiangfu Kingdom has such sharp weapons as gunpowder bags, and even mobilizes a hundred thousand troops, it should be no problem to hold it for a month."

Ying Cheng and Lin Buchi's expression fluctuated, he's not a fool, Huangfu said it beautifully, but he didn't know the truth before, if he doesn't know now, he's really an idiot. At this time, the battle situation in Lanzhou is unfavorable, and Yang Jiye has returned to aid with [-] troops from the West Expedition. How could Song Dynasty send troops to attack Xiangfu Kingdom at this time.It's just that he knew that if he fled back to Hehuang, Xiangfu Kingdom would definitely send troops to retaliate. At that time, he would need Song's assistance in terms of food, military resources, and military strength, so it was inconvenient to turn against Huangfu at this time.

After frowning and pondering for a while, Yingcheng Linbu scolded: "With the Suzaku army, that idiot Gwang Dorje will not be able to attack Gaizhu City. The only thing I can do now is to let Gwang Dorje lead Gaizhu City to attack 2 people." Many people retreat to Lanzhou, and then send the [-] troops in Lanzhou city to attack Dafengkou and recapture the Wusheng army, and then we can solve the current difficulties."

Hearing this, Huangfu Tong said anxiously: "It's absolutely impossible, Ying Chenglinbu scolded your lord, Gewang Dorje will of course have to recall it quickly, but if we send another [-] troops to Dafengkou to fight against the Azure Dragon Army, I'm afraid we will hit the enemy right in the middle. The treacherous scheme of the army. Master Ying Cheng and Lin Bu, don’t forget that Gao Wuyang’s [-] special brigade is also with the Qinglong Army. With the combat power of the major armies in the Xiangfu Kingdom, and now they have the advantage of Dafengkou, no matter how many we send It's useless for everyone, because the troops that can be deployed at Dafengkou each time are limited, and we are no match for Xiangfu's army in field battles under such circumstances, and the people sent by Master Ying Cheng and Lin Bu are just to die."

Yingcheng Lin Buchi took a deep look at Huangfutong, he really hated the latter and Zhao Pu behind him to death in his heart, he really didn't have much hope for the Song Dynasty to send troops, so he didn't want to be trapped in Lanzhou, but he also knew Huangfutong was right. With the terrain of Dafengkou and the army of Xiangfu Kingdom in a field battle, the possibility of them winning is really too small.

Yingcheng Lin Buchi struggled for a long time, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and said: "Come here, send an order to Gwang Dorje to withdraw to Lanzhou immediately. Then send an order to the Dashi tribe and Xiaoshi tribe, let them both The Ministry led all their remaining troops to attack Dafengkou, and told them that if they couldn't attack Dafengkou, and they couldn't get through the grain road and our retreat, there was no need for the two of them to exist in the world."

Since handing over the special team to Gao Wuyang half a month ago and leaving by himself, Bai Canghai traveled nearly a thousand miles in seven days. The breath of Cui Xi, the contemporary demon king, was sensed in the small town.But since catching up with Cui Xi's breath, Bai Canghai has been chasing him for nearly ten days, picking wild vegetables to satisfy his hunger every day, using the sky as a quilt and the ground as a bed, and relived the life of wandering in the rivers and lakes when he first became a swordsman. He caught up with Cui Xi three times, but Cui Xi obviously didn't want to fight him with all his strength, but every time he was repelled or even injured, and after Bai Canghai wanted to use his unique moves to fight for his life, he relied on his own superb body skills to fly away leave.After three times, because of some minor injuries on Bai Canghai's body, he couldn't catch up with Cui Xi. Fortunately, Cui Xi's aura never disappeared from his senses.

These days, apart from thinking about how to defeat or even kill Cui Xi, Bai Canghai's mind is blank, and he doesn't think about anything else. It is of great benefit to confront Cui Xi three times in this state of no distraction. , Many of the subtleties of the way of the sword that he had not been able to comprehend before, suddenly realized these days.

Unknowingly, Bai Canghai followed the aura left by Cui Xi to the territory of Lanzhou.That night, Bai Canghai was sitting on a hilltop, with the half moon hanging in the sky, he felt an inexplicable and strange feeling in his heart, and he had a strange feeling that he was here for some reason.

Four or five miles to the west, there is a deserted village consisting of more than 50 dilapidated houses, which seems to be accusing the Tubo army of atrocities against the people of Lanzhou, full of desolation and loneliness.

Suddenly, Bai Canghai sensed that Cui Xi was moving again, so he immediately got up and left the hill, and fled down the hill.

Bai Canghai set foot on the trail leading to the deserted village overgrown with weeds, and headed eastward.

Just as I was about to leave the trail, I suddenly felt something and looked towards a big tree beside the road. The trunk of that big tree was about ten feet above the ground, and there was a metal object reflecting the flash of sunlight.

Bai Canghai looked at it calmly, his heart shook violently, he jumped up from the ground, took off the things stuck in the tree trunk, and fell back to the ground.

Bai Canghai sighed inwardly, what he was holding was a dagger with the words 'Shang Shan Ruo Shui' engraved on the hilt, but this sword was Shui'er's personal weapon, the Shan Shui Sword.It was Ye Chen who paid a high price a year ago for Jianzhuang to find a gift for Shui'er's 16th birthday from the rivers and lakes.This sword is a real precious sword, Bai Canghai loves swords like his life, so naturally he has played with and appreciated this Shanshui sword.

After Shui'er disappeared, Hu Sanguang suspected that it was related to Cui Xi who escaped from Xia Jing, so he also told Bai Canghai about it through the spies of the Ministry of Security.

Bai Canghai knew that Ye Chen treated Shui'er like a brother, a father and a teacher, so he didn't need to think about how much Shui'er loved this Shanshui sword, but now this Shanshui sword was inserted into the tree trunk.Looks like bad luck.Fortunately, there is no blood-stained corpse nearby, so there is still a glimmer of hope.

Bai Canghai stuck the Shanshui sword behind his waist, changed direction, and entered the village along the path following the induction.

Most of the houses in the village are dilapidated and unsuitable for human habitation, only suitable for wild vines and vampires, and only a few houses are still intact.There is a plaque at the entrance to the village, with the words "Fengjiacun" written on it.

It can be seen that the people in this village originally lived a relatively prosperous life. If you observe some traces carefully, there should be people living in the village half a month ago, but now there is no one. Obviously, they must be taken away by the Tubo people or escape After leaving Lanzhou, he ran to other counties in Xiangfu Kingdom.The gusts of wind blowing with sand and dust made the village even more desolate.

Looking around the Baicanghai, the village is located between two mountains, like a natural entrance, and it is a passage between the north and the south within thirty or forty miles.It can be imagined that during the village's heyday, Fengjia Village must have been a place where businessmen passed by. It should have been quite prosperous, but now it has become a deserted village like a ghost town.

The houses at the southern end of the village have all collapsed, and the ruined walls and tiles are scorched and black, showing signs of being burned by fire.Because he found Shui'er's Shanshui sword, and he felt that Cui Xi was only walking at the speed of ordinary people, so Bai Canghai did not rush to chase, but searched house by house, but found nothing, only in the middle of the village. There are relatively complete houses, and there are traces left by someone. Because there are embers and dry food debris left behind, it may be a passing refugee, or even Shui'er or Cui Xi himself.

When he searched from the south end to the other end, there was only one house left, and the hope of finding Shui'er became even more slim, and his heart sank. The only thing he was lucky about was that he did not see Shui'er's body.

At this moment, the only remaining intact house suddenly lit up with emerald green fireworks, and the flames like ghost fire projected from the windows. A strange green light illuminates.If Bai Canghai believed in the theory of ghosts and gods, he might be so frightened that he would run away, suspecting that a fierce ghost appeared.

Bai Canghai, however, was unafraid. He just raised his vigilance and approached step by step the house with green flames that seemed to be aimed at him.

After the green flame experienced its most brilliant light, it gradually dimmed. When Bai Canghai moved to the broken window facing the street, the green flame had turned into a group of weak light and shadow, reflecting a beautiful woman who was looking sideways through the window. Go through the window on the north side of the house and stare in the direction of the village gate.
