The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 130 Intercept reinforcements?

The night sky before dawn was as black as ink, all the stars were hidden behind the dark clouds, and the wind was blowing more and more violently.

Gu Che leaned on the brown horse's hair and sat on the bamboo raft, sniffed, frowned and said, "It looks like it's going to rain."

"Well, it should be."

Yun Ruochen played with the three copper coins in his palm, absent-minded.Both Gu Che and Zhao Xuan understood that she was concerned about Ye Shenyan's safety.

At this time, there was probably less than an hour before dawn. If Ye Shenyan could not hurry back, they would face a serious problem of hiding.

When the sky is bright, this area is the enemy's camp again, plus those reinforcements who don't know when they will arrive... It's not so easy for these tired and injured children to escape.

Time passed bit by bit.Zhao Xuan was fine, but Gu Che was already anxious, frequently looking in the direction Ye Shenyan was leaving, and worried about Yun Ruochen's bad mood and saying nothing.Yun Ruochen looked calm, but in fact, his heart was creaking like pancakes in a pan of oil.

In this almost suffocating atmosphere, Yun Yao suddenly woke up.

"elder sister……"

He rubbed his eyes and muttered to wake up, Yun Ruochen was startled, and immediately coaxed him: "Does Xing'er want to pee? Come on, sister carry you."

"Well……"

Yun Yao nodded in a daze, buried his face in his sister's arms, and let Yun Ruochen walk around with him in his arms.

Seeing Yun Ruochen calmly peeing for his younger brother even though he wasn't proficient, and humming a song in a low voice to lull him to sleep, Zhao Xuan couldn't help the gentle ripples in his eyes.

It's like a little mother, she is still a child.

"Ah, Shen Yan is back!"

Gu Che whispered in surprise.After a few breaths, Ye Shenyan jumped from the bank to the bamboo raft, his head was covered with branches and leaves, and he looked very embarrassed.

As he picked the branches and leaves that should be used to disguise himself, he gasped and said, "Princess, the other party... is King Cheng's man!"

"Really him?"

Yun Ruochen and Zhao Xuan screamed in surprise at the same time, but they both hurriedly covered their mouths.Zhao Xuan paused, then smiled wryly at Yun Ruochen and said, "Sure enough."

"I'm just guessing..."

She discussed with Zhao Xuan during the day, made many inferences about the origin of the enemy, and also raised the possibility of King Cheng.But I always feel that King Cheng's domain is too far away from here, so it shouldn't be him.

Ye Shenyan regained his breath, and said, "King Cheng is probably still on the way, bringing reinforcements over. I overheard someone talking about King Cheng, and said that it's really aggrieved to do things in the name of King Cheng." ..."

Tired?

So...these people are the dead soldiers who were lent to King Cheng by some clans, right?

"Adjourn these first, be careful, can we enter the city?"

Zhao Xuan interrupted Ye Shenyan and asked.

Seeing Ye Shenyan shaking his head, several people showed disappointment unabashedly.Ye Shenyan sighed and said, "They don't have many people, probably not the main force, but there are about 1000 of them...We can't get through."

"Is there any way to lure them away..."

Gu Che scratched his head, suddenly thinking: "How about we light a fire for them?"

This completely non-technical proposal was unanimously despised by Yun Ruochen and Zhao Xuan.Yun Ruochen silently recited "This kid has a bad brain, so don't get angry with him", still unable to calm down the desire to complain in his heart, he couldn't help knocking his head: "Ah Che, what are you thinking! A master who stays behind?"

"When you light a fire, everyone knows that someone is coming to cause trouble, why don't you hurry up and search for the culprit? We are weak, weak and weak, how can we escape!"

This kind of insane trick that can't harm anyone but only harms oneself is simply a self-defeating rhythm!Think you didn't die fast enough?
Gu Che said with a bitter face, "Then how do we go in?"

Yun Ruochen ignored him, and asked Ye Shenyan again: "Did they mention the emperor and the prince?"

"No. But they said 'Old Man Gu' a few times..." Ye Shenyan looked at Gu Che, and even he thought that the one in charge of the overall situation in this city should be Old Gu Ge.

Ordinarily, it is a bit unreasonable for Mr. Gu Ge, the second assistant of the cabinet, to come forward, but they don't know the situation in the city at this critical time.

Gu Che was both happy and worried.

He was naturally happy that his grandfather was still alive, but when he thought that the old man was standing on the cusp and facing various dangers at any time, his joy was quickly replaced by worry.

"...Chen'er, I think the emperor and the crown prince should be fine."

Zhao Xuan said suddenly after a moment of silence.Yun Ruochen actually thought so too, but he still wanted to hear Zhao Xuan's opinion.

Zhao Xuan believed that if the emperor and the crown prince really fell into the enemy's hands, or if something unexpected happened, the morale in the city would definitely collapse at once, so they wouldn't be unable to attack for two days.

The enemy besieged the city, on the one hand, they wanted to seize the capital first, and on the other hand, they wanted to prevent the emperor and prince from returning.

Another problem surfaced at this point.Yun Ruochen was puzzled, there were [-] defenders near the capital, where did all these people die?
Gu Che could answer this question better.He knows better than Yun Ruochen about the marching.

He said that due to the lack of troops in northern Xinjiang, [-]% of the defenders of the Beijing camp have recently been transferred to northern Xinjiang to perform duties.As for the remaining [-]%, some of them followed the emperor Chunshou, and the other part might be confronting the enemy's main force at the east gate.

"Empty pay is very serious..." Gu Che lowered his voice angrily and said angrily, "At least one-third of the so-called [-] defenders are empty pay! Moreover, the children of the Beijing camp are the most dandy and incompetent, and we have to rely on them War? Hey!"

In other words, the actual defenders were only 7, and only [-] were left in the capital!
The seemingly beautiful Daqing rivers and mountains are actually riddled with holes and pus everywhere, and a simple poke will cause holes!
"However, as soon as this happened, the Northern Xinjiang side must be rushing back desperately. They got the news a little later, two days... It should be within today, and the defenders in Northern Xinjiang will definitely be back!"

Gu Che counted with his fingers, and said with certainty.He grew up in the northern Xinjiang military camp, so he knows these things very well.

That said, today will be the key?
Yun Ruochen was stunned for a while, and many things suddenly rushed up and gathered at one point.

The emperor and the prince fled under the protection of Guo Zheng and others.

Gu Ge led people to guard the capital to the death.

The defenders of northern Xinjiang will arrive today, and the reinforcements from the other side are also arriving as soon as possible.

Both sides are fighting for time!
"We're not going into town."

When everyone was worrying about how to avoid the enemy's eyes and ears and enter the city, Yun Ruochen suddenly said this, which surprised the teenagers.

Not going to town?Is that to find the enemy to hide?
Yun Ruochen raised his eyes, looked at the gradually turning pale sky, and said in a deep voice, "I'm going to intercept the enemy's reinforcements!"

What?
Did they hear it right?

It's hard to even enter the city now, and she actually said that she was going to intercept the enemy?

"Ruochen, do you know what you're talking about..."

Gu Che was the first to break the silence, and shouted under his breath, "You have always been the calmest, how could you be so whimsical!"

"I'm not whimsical."

Yun Ruochen sighed, looked at Gu Che, then at Ye Shenyan.

"Time is running out, let's talk as we go. Ah Che, go back the same way, I want to stop their reinforcements on the way they came!"

"No, hey, it's impossible! Don't mess around!"

Gu Che became anxious, and grabbed Yun Ruochen's arm, Zhao Xuan frowned slightly. "Ruochen, what do you want to do?"

"No time to explain. Be careful!"

Yun Ruochen shook off Gu Che's hand.Ye Shenyan picked up the pole without saying a word and rowed the bamboo raft away from the shore. He was the only one who didn't doubt that Yun Ruochen could do it.

Since Yun Ruochen could lead him to set up a magic circle outside the city gate in the middle of the night to confuse everyone, and she could also use cinnabar charms to stop the "vagrants" from entering King Jing's courtyard, why couldn't she also use magic to intercept the enemy's reinforcements?

Ye Shenyan himself is also learning spells. Although he has not even set foot on the threshold, he understands that strange spells are unfathomable.

Seeing Ye Shenyan start rowing, Gu Che was stunned, and after a while he sighed "ah", and grabbed the pole at hand.

"Chen'er."

Zhao Xuan didn't stay silent anymore, he straightened up with one hand propped on the bamboo raft, staring at Yun Ruochen steadfastly. "There were many things in the past that you didn't want to talk about, but I didn't ask. But this time, I must ask clearly."

"I can't let you go on adventures!"

Gu Che didn't find it strange to say such words from Zhao Xuan who was always indifferent, because Yun Ruochen's actions were too "crazy". "Yes, Ruochen, you can't take risks!"

"Brother Xuan, Ah Che..."

She bit her lower lip, thinking, maybe it's time for a "showdown".

Although this "showdown", it is impossible to be completely frank.By now, she also knew that she had to give them an explanation.Otherwise, they wouldn't let her go.

"There is still some time, Shen Yan, Ah Che, hurry up. Brother Xuan, listen to me..."

She coughed a few times and cleared her mind.

"My concubine mother, she comes from Sichuan and Shu..."

In Yun Ruochen's narration, Liang Lianqing, the concubine of the crown prince who died many years ago, was a hidden magician.Of course, she didn't say anything about her mother's special choice to marry into Prince Jing's mansion in order to pass on the bloodline.

With the excuse of her deceased mother, all her actions have been explained, although these things are still extremely unbelievable in the eyes of ordinary people.

"Ah Che, brother Xuan, please keep it a secret for me. If people know that I am studying these things...the consequences will be disastrous!"

Gu Che and Zhao Xuan "suddenly realized".It turns out that this is the secret of Yun Ruochen's difference from ordinary people!

Even Ye Shenyan heard Yun Ruochen talk about "secrets of life experience" for the first time, so he naturally didn't suspect anything. Back then, he went directly to the Wangxing Tower in the other courtyard in the capital and saw Concubine Liang's collection.

Yun Ruochen intentionally ambiguous, and many things were vague at key points, only saying that he was young at the time and didn't remember.She knows that the most important thing in fabricating a lie is not to tell it in too much detail. Once she tells a lie in detail and it doesn't match up in the future, the possibility of being exposed will be much greater.

"So you said you're going to intercept their reinforcements... are you planning to use your...spells?"

Zhao Xuan didn't sigh at Yun Ruochen's secret for too long, and immediately grasped the point again.
