Chapter 405 Life and Death Matter (2)
Having been bored under the mask for a long time, Bai Xianyu was still a little uncomfortable when he first came into contact with the air, "It's me."
Deputy General Yu had guessed for a long time, but he never dared to confirm it. Now when he heard the girl admit it, he was even more surprised, "You didn't already..."
"What happened three years ago is a long story." She interrupted him, "We should go."
If she changed her identity, she was besieged by the enemy in Qiushui City, and the eldest brother would never abandon her. Even if the final outcome was unsatisfactory, at least she didn't leave her elder brother and escape, so she has no regrets.
Deputy General Yu was silent for a long time, and finally made up his mind, his eyes were determined, "Yes."
…
Autumn Water City is not as poetic as its name.
The rugged mountain peaks seem to run through its belly, and they have been integrated with it under years of erosion. There are mountains on all sides, and the waterways are also rugged. Odd-shaped stones suddenly appear in various places, and people have long been familiar with them, and have no intention of moving them away.
Some stones go deep into the ground, and some stones can't be dug down to the end, as if they were mountains in ancient times.
Bai Tanshen stood on the tower, condescendingly looking down at the densely packed area not far away, with a dignified expression.
"General!"
Someone rushed up, "General, the counting is over!"
"How long can you last?"
"Up to... seven days."
Bai Tanshen seemed to have expected this result a long time ago, and paused for a moment, "Understood, please take care of me."
"yes!"
Retreating in the past few days and nights, even if you are careful, the scale of tens of thousands of people has made a lot of noise.
The Xiyi army hadn't arrived yet, and there were not enough soldiers and horses. After a fight, they basically broke through the siege, but they didn't want to keep them, but rushed to the food and grass in front of them from the beginning, with dry firewood and fire. So, even though he tried his best to protect it, he also lost a lot.
Bai Tan nodded deeply, called a few people to sit in front of the desk, and began to discuss the next step.
Seven days should be enough.
According to what Xiao Yuer said, the reinforcements will arrive within three or four days.
They just have to stick around.
After lunch time, there was a faint thunder-like sound outside the city, Bai Tanshen glanced slightly sideways, and continued to count soldiers, the rainwater trickled down his sharp face, and splashed on the ground.
"General! A lot of people! A lot of people gathered around!"
Bai Tan kept his eyes fixed, "Xiyi?"
"It's...Xiyi and Daqing!"
Before he could speak, another soldier rushed over from the side, "The general is not good! The heavy rain just now destroyed the mountain road, and the rain flood washed over the house where the grain and grass were stored, and almost half of it fell into the river!" But now the rain is heavy and the current is fast, and many brothers who went down to fish have been swept away!"
Bai Tan squinted his eyes deeply, and looked at the dark sky, "No more fishing, just put the rest of the food and grass in place immediately, and there must be no more mistakes."
"yes!"
Halfway there, it is equivalent to three or four days at most. It is really hard to say who will win.
Bai Tan climbed up to the city gate, and arrows shot from all directions. He firmly held an arrow aimed at his throat and broke it. Daqing and Xiyi had a quarrel because of the death of Prince Xiyi, but at this time Daqing also sent men to besiege him.
It seems that they all want him to die here.
However, the death of the Xiyi prince was not useless. There were tens of thousands of troops in Daqing, but only tens of thousands of people came. If Qiushui City was captured, Xiyi and Daqing might be the next ones to start the war, so Daqing didn't dare to let everyone to deal with him.
Bai Tan smiled coldly and put on his armor to meet the enemy.
…
"His Royal Highness Sixth Prince! You should read the letter from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"His Royal Highness Sixth Prince!"
The sixth prince, Mo Linfeng, sat on the horse, and said with a smirk: "What can the second brother do at this time? It is nothing more than asking me to spare Bai Tan's life."
The person who caught up took the letter and said cautiously: "Your Highness, this is already the third letter from the Crown Prince. If you don't reply, the Crown Prince will blame you after you go back."
"When marching and fighting, you can lose your head. Why can't you lose a letter?" The sixth prince didn't care. He usually hated others to mention Bai Tanshen's name, as if no matter how well he did or how many victories he won, he would never get rid of it. If you don't know Bai Tanshen's name, you should always be ranked behind Bai Tanshen.
Now that there is such a great opportunity to kill Bai Tanshen with his own hands and become famous, Mo Linyuan wants to stop him, it is just a dream.
In public, Bai Tanshen is a confidant of Daqing, but in private, he is the only opponent he recognizes and hates.
Killing Bai Tanshen can not only avenge his shame and make great military exploits, but it is also more likely to shake Mo Linyuan's position. It is both public and private. Killing him is all beneficial and harmless. How could he do it for the sake of his so-called brothers? Friendship let him go.
"I am fighting for Daqing, and my father attaches great importance to this battle. Bai Tanshen is the number one enemy. How can I let him go?"
"But Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince..."
"It's not a secret that the second brother once asked Bai Xianyu to marry him. Even if she died, he would run around trying to avenge her, heh." Mo Linfeng seemed to find it very funny, "But my Daqing royal family is not It's all love. He wants to keep him, and I'm not someone who will leave trouble for myself. "
"The sixth prince..."
"Shut up."
Finally there was no movement behind him, Mo Linfeng tilted his head and asked, "Has that person been found out?"
The man on the horse on his left froze for a moment, and said in shame, "Not yet."
"Continue to investigate, one by one, I don't believe he can disappear from us!"
Killing Prince Xiyi right under his nose, and disappearing under the eyes of everyone, this is a great shame to him!
Mo Linfeng said harshly: "Once you catch someone, first remove the hands and feet of this king, and then bring them to see this king!"
"yes!"
Bypassing many green hills, Bai Xianyu's skirt was covered with mud, but his body was as white as dust.
The boat docked, and her figure swayed.
"Miss, just ahead."
Bai Xianyu nodded, it was not difficult for her to get in, and she had all the hidden weapon powder and communication tools on her body.
But this time, Bai Xianyu looked at the mighty army in the distance, and didn't send a signal immediately.
Lieutenant General Yu drew his knife and was always ready.
The girl held up a glass of water with soft hands, "Water flows this way...Are we high?"
"yes."
Bai Xianyu paused for a moment, then made a very bold decision, and took out two packs of medicine powder from her bosom, which Yin Sui handed to her before she left. They are all extremely rare poisons.
The toxins used by Shengmen are always the best, and the best ones have the best uses. At critical moments, they may save a life. Like now.
"Daqing's army has also come. Now Xiyi and Daqing are temporarily assembled in one place. They must fetch water from the village on the spot. There is river water here. If you go along the river, you will definitely see their people."
Deputy General Yu had already guessed what she was going to do when he saw what she was holding in her hand, but his face was hesitant, "The poison in Miss's hands must not be ordinary poison. But if it is put in the river water, it will be like a drop of water flowing into the river." Ocean, it won't be of much use, I'm afraid the poison has been diluted before it reaches them."
