Chapter 21 Military Infighting
"This is not what you should worry about," Leng Changxi said sideways to Lu Wuyi, "Your task is just to poison and detoxify."
"Do you really think that there is a group of mysterious tribes living in this bone-eating savage valley?" Lu Wuyi raised his tone, "Only poisonous snakes and beasts live here. There is no trace of anyone."
The wind at night was so gloomy that Lu Wuyi suddenly sneezed. In the dark, he seemed to feel that a pair of eyes were staring at him, like Shura from hell, staring at his throat all the time, waiting for such a knife.
"What we can't see doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Leng Changxi turned around and said to Lu Wuyi, his cool eyes emitted a cold light through the silver mask.
"That's right," Qin Yunuan continued, "Do you still remember what Maugham said that he came to the Savage Valley seven years ago? Although there was civil strife at that time, he was the only one who lived. As long as he buried the body on the spot, he didn't even care about it, only let the hot sun be exposed, but why did he take out all the internal organs of the body? Come out and hang it on the tree?"
"It may be made up by him," Lu Wuyi shook his head. "Mum is not a completely credible person."
"No, I tested him," Qin Yunuan's eyes and suddenly raised them. His pupils were as deep and quiet as an ancient well. "I deliberately let him see the butcher slaughtering cattle and sheep. I ordered the butcher to deliberately pull out the sheep's intestines and hang them on the bamboo pole. His eyes at that time were 1220,000 afraid and even began to tremble. If I hadn't stood by him, I would have let him watch. He might have escaped for a long time. Do you know what this proves? He was afraid. It was because he had experienced it that he was afraid. If he had taken out the intestines of his companion's body, he would not be so afraid. It could only show that seven years ago, after the internal fight between Maugham and his companions, someone stole the bodies, and then took out his intestines and his internal organs and hung them on the tree as a warning. I don't know if it's a way of sacrifice. What I can be sure of is that there must be people other than us in this valley.
"I don't have time to play this kind of mind guessing with you," Lu Wuyi suddenly looked back at Qin Yunuan in surprise and said, "Mrs. Leng, I'm very curious. Since when did you understand people's hearts like this? It seems that you know people's inner thoughts just from other people's movements and expressions. Why have I never heard of the three girls in the Qin family?
Qin Yunuan smiled softly: "If you live two lives, if you have a deeply loved one who is determined to follow him and live and die together, you will unconsciously become stronger, unconsciously mobilize all your skills, watch people, watch things, and never forget. This is my ability. I just keep making myself strong. Just get up."
Lu Wuyi was thoughtful, and her eyes shifted to Leng Changxi. Leng Changxi's eyes were tender and looked at Qin Yunuan, like the simplicity and obsession of the young man when he was emotional, not at all, unlike the powerful general Leng.
The morning sun in the dense forest always came a little late. After the noise last night, Qin Yunuan only slept for two hours in the tent. He was awakened by the sound of the soldiers packing up. When he came out in a cloak, a pot of white rice porridge had been cooked outside. The conditions were difficult, and many dry food he brought was fighting with the python. He fell into the quagmire and could no longer eat it. When the discerning soldiers saw Qin Yu warm up, they immediately served a bowl of white porridge with a little fungus floating on it. It should be picked by the soldiers in the army themselves.
"Where's my father-in-law?" Qin Yunuan still tied the white veil in front of everyone, but Leng Changxi deliberately reduced the white veil a few layers, so that Qin Yunuan could see it clearly even through the white veil.
"Oh, Mr. Tuoba went out early in the morning. He followed the previous army to explore the way and should be back soon."
Qin Yunuan whispered, "Oh" and said, "What about Your Highness?"
The soldier smiled flatteringly and didn't say it clearly. He just put his elbow in the southeast direction. Qin Yunuan looked in this direction and happened to see that Ya Su and the fourth prince Wan Yansu were arguing about something. There was also a rough pottery bowl at their feet, and the porridge in the bowl was sprinkled all over the ground. The two quarreled with each other. Hand it over.
Qin Yunuan narrowed her eyes, and Wan Yansu's expression was serious, as if she was questioning something about Yasu. Yasu looked aggrieved. Thinking that the soldier who sent porridge was still beside her, Qin Yunuan just turned around and said lightly, "My eyes don't work well. I can't see it clearly if you pointed it to me."
The soldier was embarrassed, and suddenly the horseshoe sounded. Qin Yuwarn held his breath. It seemed that he could hear the slight sound of the horseshoe stepping on the grass and breaking the grass roots, accompanied by a fragrance of grass. The familiar breath rushed into Qin Yunuan's nasal cavity. When he was lingering last night, Leng Changxi was also the same smell.
He is back.
At this time, the watchman standing at the top also raised the flag and shouted, "They are back."
After the panic of the first two games, this group of people deeply felt that it was lucky to come back alive in this dense forest.
"How about it?" Wanyan Su personally took the reins for Leng Changxi.
Leng Changxi jumped off his horse and patted the dust on the armor and said, "The road is right. We walked along the map and found Yingzui Mountain, but there was a glimmer of sky. We couldn't ride through it, so we came back for the time being."
Wanyan frowned: "Is there any other way around?"
Leng Changxi glanced at Wan Yansu and said, "No, this is the only way."
There is no other way, a line of sky, you can't ride a horse, which means that Wanyan Su and others have to abandon all horses. Without horses, not only is the road inconvenient, but also many things that only horses can carry must be abandoned.
After meditating for a long time, a big man beside Wanyansu said in a rough voice, "This canyon is so big, how can this only be the way? Your Highness, you just wait here. I'll take my brothers to find other ways. Ma is the ** of our Northern Di people. How can we throw it away? After saying that, the man really turned around and gathered a few good guys and encouraged them, "Brothers, Your Highness has treated us very well. Now is also the time for us to repay our kindness. Isn't it just a broken valley? I don't think it will have anything else."
This group of people were encouraged by this man, holding a big knife as if they were fearless.
"You go out rashly. If you can still come back alive, cut off my head and kick it for you." Suddenly, Leng Changxi's cold words extinguished more than half of their enthusiasm.
"What do you mean?" The leader is not full immediately. "The surname is Tuoba. Don't think you are a Xixia noble. Our Highness invited me to offer you as an ancestor. If you can come back alive, I can naturally come back alive."
Leng Changxi turned his head and ignored this unreasonable man.
"But what if you can't come back?" Suddenly, a harsh scolding stopped the man from leading the horse. As soon as the man turned around, he didn't expect that the person who spoke so seriously was always reasonable.
"Your Highness?"
"I ask you, what if you can't come back?" Wanyan Su changed the appearance of the modest man in the past. His eyebrows were shaken, and his pupils exuded a domineering look at the world. "Then these soldiers are excited to find you? How long will it take to delay and walk again and again? As I said, Mr. Tuoba is a distinguished guest invited by my house, and you can see his ability. Since he said that there is only one way, what else do you have to say? Since you are my subordinates and act without military order, it should be dealt with by military law.
Looking at Wan Yansu shining more and more fiercely, a soldier immediately came up next to him to speak for the man: "Your Highness, he was just excited for a moment, Your Highness..."
"Excited for a moment?" Wan Yansu looked at the kneeling man, raised his hand and pulled up the long sword on the waist of the bodyguard beside him and cut it directly at the man's neck. For a moment, blood splashed and stunned people. Is this still their humble highness?
Wanyansu's knife fell, and the technique was clean and neat. The blood-stained sword was handed back to the bodyguard by Wanyansu, but the bodyguard's hands had trembled so that it was unstable to receive it.
Wanyan Su looked around for a week: "Will you blame me? Blame me for being so ruthless? Too violent? But you all know that you are not alone. You are a group. What I want to do is not to be responsible for one person's life, but to the lives of all of you. There are dangerous conditions here. Whether we stay here or not, some people may die if we go the right way or go the wrong way. Wanyansu pointed fiercely to the man's body, "The next person like him who is disobedient will have the same end. If you have any objection, you can turn your head and leave now. I won't blame you, but if you stay, you must remember the four words military order like a mountain."
After Wanyansu finished speaking, he glanced at Leng Changxi. Seeing Leng Changxi's approving eyes, he added a little confidence in his heart. Yasu immediately held Wanyansu's arm and said first, "Your Highness, Yasu is with you."
Wanyansu gave a "um", but his expression did not seem so happy. Qin Yunuan knew that after that time in the morning, the relationship between Wanyansu and Yasu had been cracked.
For a long time, no one in the army left. It was not until Wanyan Su shouted for the last chance that three or four people pushed out.
"Your Highness, we have children waiting for us to go back, my subordinates..."
"Needless to say, let's go."
These people walked away one after another. When they passed by Qin Yunuan, they only heard Qin Yunuan say lightly, "Don't go back, keep facing east. See a cliff slowly climbing down from the cliff. Don't take any other shortcut."
I don't know if these three or four people heard it. After they left, Wanyansu took a deep breath and said, "The rest of the people, give up the horses, carry them all on their backs, and set out for the sky."
