The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 160 Surrounding
Although I have been going north, it is spring after all, and the weather is getting warmer every day.

Yun Ruochen had already put on a light spring dress, and even though Ye Shenyan kept nagging, "Girl, your illness is still not cured", she ignored it.

She also added new seasonal clothes to Ji Jianing. Ji Jianing obviously didn't wear new clothes very much. Although she tried her best to pretend to be calm, everyone could see her love for the new clothes.

The silk jacket has exquisite piping, she has never worn such a good dress in her life.There is also the butterfly pattern embroidered on the edge of the skirt, which is so beautiful that she hardly dares to wear it out.

Her master, Miss Yun—she only knows her master’s surname so far—sadly said that good clothes can’t be bought in a small place, so when she returns to Beijing, she will ask the embroiderer at home to make them for her, but Ji Jianing is already very tired. Satisfied.

Judging from all the signs these days, her little master and Mr. Gu should not be some kind of thieves and thieves, but the children of a good family.

Although with Ji Jianing's knowledge, she doesn't know about the existence of "children from aristocratic families", but she can still recognize the temperament of "superior people" in them.

What exactly are they?
Ji Jianing was puzzled, but she never dared to talk too much. She just immersed herself in her studies every day.

She soon found a lot of joy in what the master wanted to teach her, and it didn't take long for her to dare to ask questions instead of gulping it down at the beginning.Yun Ruochen was very satisfied with her performance, but Ye Shenyan could only feel depressed—well, he finally admitted that this woman is more talented than himself!
Damn!
Gu Che rarely came to the room to disturb Yun Ruochen and Ji Jianing, and for a few days, they didn't even see him.

When Yun Ruochen, who was busy teaching his apprentices, finally remembered her good classmate, Ye Shenyan told her that Gu Che meditated in his room almost every day to raise his energy, saying that it was Manager Nie's intention.

Was Nie Shen dissatisfied with Gu Che's killing of those river robbers last time?Thinking of that time when Gu Che came back covered in blood, Yun Ruochen frowned.

When I asked Nie Shen, I realized that was not the case.

"Gu Che's hostility is too strong."

Nie Shen explained that something went wrong with Gu Che's kung fu practice, his aura went astray, and it was a little difficult to control his behavior once he started killing.

That's why Nie Shen asked him to practice Qi from scratch.Lay a good foundation, don't think about becoming a fat man with one bite, if you want to make rapid progress, it depends on whether you have such a strong talent.

Yun Ruochen didn't understand the anxiety deep in Gu Che's heart - in fact, neither did Nie Shen, nor did he understand why he pushed himself so hard.

No, haste makes waste. On the surface, his skill has greatly increased, but it has buried a big hidden danger.Fortunately, Nie Shen discovered it early, so he should be able to remedy it.

Only Gu Che named himself what the problem was.

They were getting closer and closer to the battlefield, and they might soon meet Zhao Xuan again.

Gu Che kept the promise he made to himself, and did not confess his love to Yun Ruochen before Zhao Xuan left Yun Ruochen's side.

But he thought that when they met again, he couldn't be worse than that feminine guy Zhao Xuan, right?

Even such a weak boy leads soldiers to fight.He, Gu Che, is the second general after all, so he can't lose no matter what.

The innocence and strength of a hot-blooded boy are completely out of the scope of Yun Ruochen's consideration. No matter in her previous life or in this life, she is always much slower in feelings than ordinary girls—maybe because there is always a lack of female elders in the process of growing up. Caring?
Of course, what she is most concerned about right now is the battle situation, and the spies from Tingyulou always bring her bad news.

"Forced to the capital?"

Gu Che gasped.

"Calm down, Ah Che, look at your frantic look, the few days of meditation are wasted."

Yun Ruochen despised Gu Che very disdainfully, this guy seemed to have always been so rough, yelling at every turn.Can I have some quality?

Thinking of how he used Xiao Jin to scare himself when they first met, forget it.This is a wild horse, even if she took care to make him a good young man, he would still kick around like a wild horse at critical moments.

"How calm are you?"

Gu Che was very irritable and threw the military report on the table. "The three major city gates have been breached in a row, what did those defenders grow up on, puddles of mud!"

"Stop complaining, talk about something practical."

Yun Ruochen spread out a big topographic map, it's a good thing, baby Tingyulou.

In this age without aerial photography, it is very difficult to draw an accurate topographic map. The estimations in the Ministry of Industry are not as accurate as Tingyulou's.

The masters are among the people, and the officials have a vegetarian meal. Father, you have a long way to go in governing the world, ah.

Yun Ruochen sighed needlessly, in fact, she didn't really care about such big propositions as the world's common people, country and society, she cared more about whether her dear father was okay or not.

"Hey, have you read all the military newspapers these days?"

Yun Ruochen took out a pen from the pen holder, and pointed at the topographic map.

Nie Shen and Ye Shenyan were at the side, and even Ji Jianing was not kicked out, Yun Ruochen asked her to listen.

Now that she has cast spells on Ji Jianing, she is not afraid of Ji Jianing running out of her palm.Such a weak disciple cannot betray her.

She didn't explain her background to Ji Jianing, she just wanted to see how Ji Jianing's concentration was.

After careful observation for a period of time, Yun Ruochen despised Gu Che even more - look, a little fisherman is calmer than you!
Only the little baby Yunyao was absent, and was handed over to Tingyulou's subordinates to take care of him.

"Here, and here, uh..." Yun Ruochen felt that scribbling in the air was not fun, so he simply dipped in ink and began to paint on that precious topographic map, which made Ye Shenyan's heart ache.

Fortunately, Nie Shen didn't even move his eyebrows, but Nie Shen, who was wearing a human skin mask, had been paralyzed for thousands of years.

Even if that topographic map cost Tingyulou a lot of manpower and material resources, so what?
As long as Yun Ruochen needed it, he would give it to her.

This kind of thought didn't exist in his mind from the beginning, but Nie Shen really thought so now.As for the evolution process, Nie Shen could no longer remember.

Yun Ruochen daubed for a long time, painting the surrounding area of ​​the capital into a black circle, then put down the pen, looked at Gu Che and smiled.

"Did you see it?"

Gu Che ignored Yun Ruochen's contemptuous expression, his eyes were shining brightly with surprise.

It turns out that the imperial army had unknowingly made a huge pocket for the rebels!

The other troops of the imperial court were responsible for making the pockets, while the southeast reinforcements "retreated" all the way, acting as an introduction to slowly attract the rebels into the encirclement.

It's not easy, it's really not easy!But after learning that Zhao Xuan was the one who prepared and implemented the whole plan, Gu Che had the urge to jump into the river.

I practiced desperately, and even almost fell into a demon, but I still couldn't compare to this guy Zhao Xuan!

Gu Che grew up in the frontier army and knew a lot about warfare, so he also knew how difficult it is to make such a big pocket and bring in the enemy.

The southeast reinforcements used as the introduction must retreat very skillfully, not to arouse the suspicion of the enemy, and not to pass all the news to the subordinates, otherwise it will be leaked every minute.

Such things as defeat and retreat are the most heart-wrenching to the army.

The southeast reinforcements retreated all the way for so long, Zhao Xuan was able to bring down the entire decadent army in order, which fully proved his strength.

And Zhao Xuan was just a 15-year-old rookie entering the army for the first time. He looked weaker than a little scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, but he did it!

Gu Che was relieved, it was only a matter of time before King Cheng's rebel army failed, and he would soon be able to return to the capital to meet his grandfather.

But Gu Che, who was relieved, became depressed.

Yun Ruochen didn't understand his emotions, she felt that she didn't understand Gu Che more and more.

Or is it that Gu Che has reached the stage of rebellion?

Isn't it too late? How old is he... At his age, he should marry a wife in an ordinary family, right?
In the future, if I have the opportunity to educate him, he should be more mature for such an adult.

In fact, it was not only Yun Ruochen who discovered that King Cheng's rebels had entered the encirclement, the rebels themselves had already discovered it.

King Cheng's rebels carried the banner of King Cheng, but in fact, King Cheng was simply a puppet.

The person in charge in King Cheng's army is Elder Mei from the Destiny Sect.

Of the three elders of the Destiny Sect, Elder Kui died in the prison when he bewitched King Shu to rebel, and Elder Mandrill also died on the spot because of a sneak attack on the commander of the southeast reinforcements, leaving Elder Mandrill alone.

To say that the people of the Destiny Sect are good at conspiracy and assassination, but fighting wars is not enough.Of course, by this time, they finally reacted, but it was too late.

Nie Shen brought Yun Ruochen and the others to land on the abandoned boat, and changed carriages to the main battlefield outside the capital. Yun Ruochen insisted on going to the battlefield but he couldn't stop him.

According to his opinion, he should go directly to the capital to see the emperor, so much safer.

However, Yun Ruochen was worried about the reinforcements from the southeast who were facing King Cheng head-on, to be precise, he was worried about Zhao Xuan.

For this decisive battle, Yun Ruochen specially asked Nie Shen to protect him, and exhausted his energy to deduce it.It is impossible to completely discover the secrets of the sky, seek good luck and avoid bad luck, she is still capable now.

It was precisely because of a vague premonition that she had to go.

She also knew that she shouldn't take her younger brother to a dangerous place, but this time the obedient Yun Yao became stubborn, resolutely refusing to leave her sister's side.

Either take my brother on an adventure, or just ignore it?
Yun Ruochen's final decision was to knock Yun Yao unconscious and leave it to Ye Shenyan, Ji Jianing and the people in Ting Yulou to take care of him, and he and Nie Shen Gu Che rode straight to the destination.

Just as Yun Ruochen and his party were on their way, the final decisive battle of the rebellion had quietly begun.

On the majestic city wall of the capital, Emperor Yongjia, who was solemnly dressed in court clothes, looked at the densely packed army on the plain in the distance, feeling a little drummed in his heart.

Elder Gu Ge and various armies reported that the enemy was surrounded and could be strangled and wiped out immediately, but Emperor Yongjia was still worried.

The rumbling drums echoed in the valley, and the fighting began...
