The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 132
"Boom!"

In the distance, a flash of thunder descended from the hazy sky, and the momentum was particularly shocking in the empty mountains and forests.

A troop of cavalry wearing black cloaks over their armor was galloping through the forest. Although the rain was getting heavier and heavier, their progress was not hindered by it.

The horseshoes stepped on the rough mountain road with mud and water, making a heavy and orderly sound, which mixed with the sound of rain and thunder, causing echoes from the surroundings.

The number of people in this team is not large, only about 2000 people, but they are the elite of the army.

They were originally soldiers of a prince.Since last year, the imperial court has drastically reduced the expenses of the clan, and also reduced the personal troops of the vassal kings. Except for a small part of the army left for the vassal kings, the rest of the military households were dismissed as farmers.

These people have been military households since they were young, and they were suddenly thrown into the countryside to work as tenant farmers. Although they still served the prince, they always found it difficult to adapt to the poor and boring life in the countryside.

A few months ago, their group was quietly gathered by the prince again.I don't know what method the prince used to hide it from the higher-ups, and transported them to a secret place one by one to start strengthening training.Together with them, there are many strong men who don't know where they come from, some are people from the Jianghu, and some are bandits recruited by the officers and soldiers.

Then recently, they were told that all of them had returned to Prince Cheng's command, and they were going to follow Prince Cheng back to Beijing to "get rid of traitors and seduce the emperor".

On the surface, the reason given by the people sent by Prince Cheng was that the prince was licentious and incompetent. He dared to have an affair with the emperor's concubines and caused a huge scandal. He lost the face of the royal family and was not worthy of being the heir of the Daqing Dynasty.

But anyone with a little brain knows that anyway, Prince Cheng is going to go back to Beijing to compete with the crown prince for the throne.

Can Prince Cheng succeed in doing this?Many people are wondering, just relying on tens of thousands of people... can the capital be taken down?
I heard that the prince was very kind to Prince Cheng. If Prince Cheng did not fight for the throne, he might be able to live comfortably as an idle prince in the Southwest. Why does he have to fight for the throne?

Besides, it's his business if he wants to fight. Do you really want to follow him to fight?

It's not that no one wants to quit, especially those green forest bandits, how can there be any loyalty at all.

But when they learned that all the people who were gathered for special training had already taken a chronic poison, and if they didn't get the antidote for a month, they would die of heart and lung failure, and they had no choice but to escape!

According to what the special envoy of King Cheng said, those who did not believe in evil pressed a certain acupuncture point between their chest and ribs, and found that the slightest touch would hurt their hearts.Only then did they come to their senses. Everyone had been tied to Lord Cheng's warship and could no longer withdraw!

Just ten days ago, they were divided into several groups and smuggled here on a large ship.The previous group is said to have completed more than half of the tasks, but it is a pity that the old emperor and prince escaped.The current batch was sent here to participate in the roundup of the emperor and prince and attack the capital.

Since it is a temporary force, it naturally has a temporary commander.But the few people who are the commanders are not quite the same as them, they are always mysterious...

"Elder, let's turn over two more mountains and turn onto the official road leading directly to the capital!"

At the forefront of the line, a burly middle-aged man respectfully reported to the man in front of him on the left.

"Hmph, these people are too slow."

The man called "Elder" was of medium build, his facial features were so mediocre that it was easy to forget, and his wax figure-like expression was a bit dull.If Nie Shen was here, he would naturally be able to see through at a glance that there was a thin layer of human skin mask on this person's face.

However, this seemingly inconspicuous man is the "charm" of one of the three elders of the Destiny Sect.

Elder Mei's riding skills are quite good, even though he is galloping in the overgrown forest, he still sits firmly on the horse, with a calm and relaxed demeanor.

"It's thundering again. The weather!"

Elder Mei muttered, but he didn't really care about the bad weather, but he was dissatisfied with the slow marching speed of the reinforcements he led.His companion, the last remaining elder of the Destiny Sect, led by "Drill", has successfully launched an assault on the last night of spring hunting. Those people are currently searching for the emperor and prince. He doesn't want to be too far behind his companions. .

Otherwise, at the leader's place...

Thinking of the young but extremely vicious leader, even the seasoned and charming elder couldn't help shivering.

"Rumble--"

All of a sudden, four or five thunderbolts exploded in front of them, blinding the eyes of this group of people for a moment, and the originally neat team suddenly became chaotic for a short time.

The impact of thunder and lightning on people is not too great, but the mounts under their crotches are kicking restlessly.For a while, the team could no longer move forward in an orderly manner, and almost everyone was busy yelling at their horses.

"What happened?" Elder Mei gritted his teeth and said, "When I was looking at the sky yesterday, I didn't see such a thunderstorm. It's only the beginning of spring, and it hasn't come to the sting...how does it look like summer!"

His subordinates hurriedly said: "Elder, Lei is too big, do we still have to move forward?"

In the wilderness, their group of moving targets are still quite easy to be struck by lightning. Who made them all wear iron armor and hold weapons?

"Of course!"

Elder Mei snorted coldly: "If it's too late, Elder Mandrill's side, hehe... It's okay, let them quickly organize the team and move on!"

Several subordinates hurriedly turned their heads and gave orders behind them to maintain order in the team.After a long delay, Elder Mei became impatient, and the horses calmed down a little.

Braving the rain, they continued on their way.But as he ran, Elder Mei gradually realized that something was wrong.

"Why do these roads, and nearby trees, look familiar?"

He murmured in his heart, but he didn't say it.It wasn't until a big thunder struck that the team was in chaos again, and Elder Mei, who stood still, realized that there was a real problem!

The scene he sees now is exactly the same as what he saw when the team stopped after a series of thunderstorms...

"be lost!"

Elder Mei waved his whip angrily and directly lashed at one of the subordinates leading the way ahead. "Stupid! How did you lead the way just now! Are you stunned by a thunderstorm!"

"I'm sorry, Elder, I was wrong, I will re-survey the terrain immediately!"

In a panic, his subordinates dodged Elder Mei's whip, and took out a map made of sheepskin from his pocket to check.

At the same moment, on the mountain in the distance, Yun Ruochen was sitting cross-legged on the highest point, with his eyes closed and his hands in the mudra, murmuring a mantra.

Ye Shenyan made a simple umbrella from the banana leaves he picked to cover her body. Although it can only block a small part of the wind and rain, it is better than nothing.

"The sky is clear and the earth is spiritual. The soldiers will follow the orders, the soldiers will be transferred according to the seals, and the soldiers will follow the orders... Those who are fighting against the soldiers, all march forward in groups!"

"Always treat it as it is, everything will be avoided!"

"Five elements of heaven, earth, listen to my orders, move for me!"

Yun Ruochen's voice became louder and louder, and finally a shout burst from his chest!
"Boom boom boom boom boom-"

Following her shout, several purple gold lights exploded in the mountains again!

Right after the lightning fell, Yun Ruochen's hands transformed into countless shapes, and Ye Shenyan could barely make out a few of them.He held his breath completely, staring at Yun Ruochen intently.

Just like what he was worried about, Yun Ruochen's face was rapidly turning pale, getting bluer and greener, but it turned red in an instant!

"puff--"

Yun Ruochen opened his mouth wide, spraying out a cloud of blood!
"The princess!"

Ye Shenyan embraced the fallen Yun Ruochen in his arms immediately, and shouted almost out of control: "You lied to me! Nothing will happen if you say so! You lied to me!"

"I...I trust you so much, why did you lie to me!"

Ye Shenyan hugged Yun Ruochen, and cried helplessly!
At this time, Yun Ruochen had actually passed out.Blood was still overflowing from her mouth and nose, the clothes on her chest were all stained red, and her breath became weaker and weaker.

Ye Shenyan didn't know if the chaotic five-element array set up by the princess had worked, or even if her practice had come to an end.After he came to his senses, his only thought was to quickly bring the princess to a safe place and wake her up!

What emperor, prince, what dynasty, the world... These are very important to the princess, but what is the significance to him?

"Princess, you can't have an accident, absolutely nothing can happen..."

Although Ye Shenyan has practiced hard in Tingyu Building for more than a year, he is still a ten-year-old boy after all.After several days of running and fleeing, his physical strength has been completely exhausted.

But at this moment, he mustered up his courage, put Yun Ruochen on Xiao Mao's back, and covered Yun Ruochen with Gu Che's soaked outer garment.Then, he climbed onto the horse and ran towards the cave where Gu Che, Zhao Xuan, and Yun Yao were hiding based on his memory!
Yun Ruochen was knocked half awake on horseback.In a daze, she thought, maybe her five-element formation could really work...

After all, it just happened to meet the rare spring thunder and cold rain, and the terrain also happened to be in line with the trend of the five elements' mutual generation and mutual restraint. It was God's help.She can't mobilize the energy of heaven and earth by herself, and she completes this chaotic five-element formation purely by motivating the sky thunder.

This technique is also known as "Electric Light Phantom".When Elder Mei and his group encountered the lightning explosion for the first time, they had actually been drawn into the phantom array Yun Ruochen had set up in the mountain depression without knowing it!

As long as the rain doesn't stop, they won't be able to get out of the phantom formation, and naturally they won't be able to reach the capital!
However, Yun Ruochen also paid a huge price for this!
The meridians in her body were broken inch by inch because of the thunder.Ye Shenyan and the others don't know that even if Yun Ruochen wakes up, there is a high possibility that he will become a paralyzed cripple...

Before performing the operation, Yun Ruochen had anticipated what he would encounter.

She is not that great, and she never thought of saving the common people with her own life, and in fact she couldn't do it either.

She just wants to try her best to protect her dear father...and younger brother...
