I have a system to assist

Chapter 84

In a blink of an eye, Ye Cao lived in Prince Mu's Mansion for five days.During these five days, Lord Mu treated him with great care, good food, good entertainment, good words and jokes.

This little guy, Mu Qing, is also very close to Ye Cao.Because, only Ye Cao would not beat him up, and was willing to play with him.

Every time Nihuang sees Yecao, she is always a little embarrassed and deliberately avoids him.

Just after breakfast that day, Prince Mu led his troops out. It was nothing serious. It was just his usual patrol, and he went out to fight in the wild to grab equipment.

There is no way, the supply of the court cannot keep up, and Prince Mu is not a little business genius, it can only be "there is no gun or cannon, the enemy made it for us".

Prince Mu didn't take it seriously, neither did Ye Cao.

Oh, I have to say one more thing here, over the past five days, Lord Mu has hinted several times to Ye Cao that he wants him to join the army, and every time Ye Cao cleverly changes the subject.

For enlisting in the army and being restrained by others, Ye Cao has no interest at all.He has already made a decision to leave tomorrow, lest Prince Mu say that if he refuses again, both of them will look bad.

For this hearty general, Ye Cao still has a good impression and can become a friend.

But the world is unpredictable, but it was just a simple patrol, and Prince Mu lost his life.

According to past experience, after a big battle, it takes time to gather troops, especially for the defeated side. In just five days, there is no way to counterattack.

So this time, Prince Mu was a little careless. When inspecting the border, he encountered a small group of remnant soldiers, so he led people to kill them.When the remnant soldiers ran, he chased after them, and kept chasing, but in the end he was ambushed.

"I'm the one who harmed you!" By the time the prince realized it, it was too late, and a hundred of them were surrounded by thousands of enemy troops.

To be honest, even the enemy soldiers didn't expect that this simplest trick to lure the enemy to go deep could actually catch Prince Mu, which is really a gift from heaven.

Victory often dazzles people's minds, just like on a gambling table, you still want to win after winning, but in the end you lose everything.

But having said that, Prince Mu has experienced many battles, and the reason why he was recruited this time was somewhat influenced by Ye Cao.

Seeing Yecao single-handedly criss-crossing the battlefield, killing the enemy with trepidation, he also felt a little itchy in his heart. Although it wasn't so obvious, you really couldn't say something about the subconscious.

"Kill King Mu, reward a thousand taels!"

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward, not to mention that we are outnumbered now, and the red armored army is screaming and rushing towards Prince Mu like a tide.

"You guys go first!" Prince Mu knew that he was doomed today, so he asked the soldiers to go first, and he didn't care about himself. One who escaped counted as one.

"Fight to the death!"

"Swear to the death!"

Facing the inevitable killing situation, the soldiers really fought to the end, swearing to the death, looking at the fallen comrades around him, Prince Mu turned grief and anger into strength, waved the spear in his hand, and rushed to kill like crazy.

"puff!"

After all, the battle between trapped beasts did not last long. Prince Mu was shot by an arrow and fell into a pool of blood, unable to stand up again.

In fact, apart from this one arrow wound, there were more than ten wounds of various sizes on his body, but this arrow was the deadliest.

"Boom boom boom..." At this moment, reinforcements arrived.

Prince Mu hadn't come back after going out for so long, 'General Wei' guessed that something was wrong, so he came to look for it.

"retreat."

Seeing the enemy's reinforcements approaching, the general of the Red Armored Army decisively ordered to retreat.Their task has been completed, Prince Mu has been beheaded, and they have cleared the obstacles to the south and north.

What we have to do now is not to fight a bloody battle with the enemy reinforcements, but to send a letter back to the Chinese army. When the enemy has no commander and the morale of the army is unstable, gather the army and take Yunnan in one fell swoop.

"My lord!"

"My lord!"

General Wei called for Lord Mu loudly, and the soul of Lord Mu was miraculously called back. With his last bit of strength, he gave the order "return to defense and ask for help", and then died in battle.

At the moment before he died, he seemed to have seen corpses strewn across the fields in Yunnan, Prince Mu's Mansion was razed to the ground, and the place he had defended for generations no longer existed.

And all of this was caused by his aggressiveness.

He left with tears in his eyes.

"Order the whole army to return to Fangfu City and immediately ask for help from the imperial court." General Wei passed the order on his behalf, and then returned to Prince Mu's Mansion with Prince Mu's body and spear.

"Father, father." Looking at the wounded and pale corpse in the coffin, Nihuang was stunned. This, is this still her father who loves to laugh.

He has experienced many battles, he was fine in the morning, why, why...

"Why did this happen, why?" Nihuang burst into tears and asked General Wei.

"The last general is guilty." General Wei and a group of soldiers all knelt down, their eyes were red.

That is the king I am loyal to, and my comrades who fought side by side with me. When a comrade dies, their heartache is no less than that of Nihuang.

But Lord Mu said: A man who bleeds but does not shed tears, and dies in battle wrapped in horse leather is the destination of soldiers.If one day I die in battle, you don't have to cry for me, just avenge me and kill him.

"Sister, what's the matter with the father, what's the matter with the father? Why is he lying in the box?" Mu Qing asked, holding Nihuang's hand.

"Father, father is king..." Nihuang was in grief at this moment, how could she have half of her energy to comfort her younger brother, she couldn't continue speaking halfway through, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.

Ye Cao knelt down, looked him in the eyes, and said to him: "Xiaoqing, your father is tired, he fell asleep, let's not disturb him, okay?"

"Yeah." Mu Qing nodded, made a shush gesture to everyone, and said softly: "Keep your voice down, father is tired and sleeping, don't wake him up."

The child was ignorant, but it was precisely because of his words that General Wei and these iron-blooded men couldn't hold back.

They were crying, but they didn't dare to cry out loud, and buried their heads on the ground, so that the prince would not see a single tear.

Please go, my lord, I will avenge you.

"Come on, kowtow to your father." Ye Cao took Mu Qing's hand and guided him to bid farewell to Prince Mu.

"Seal the coffin!" Nihuang ordered, and someone began to seal the coffin.

"What are you doing! Go away, go away!" Mu Qing seemed to realize something, stood up abruptly, and pushed away the person who sealed the coffin with his little hands.

He shouted angrily: "This way, the father will be out of breath! Go away, go away!"

Seeing the child in such a state, everyone covered their faces and wept, but it was Ye Cao's 'hard-hearted' who came forward.

"Xiaoqing, bid farewell to your father." Ye Cao hugged Mu Qing so that he could see Prince Mu clearly and give him one last look.

At that moment, Mu Qing became quiet.

Children are ignorant, but they are not stupid, even more sensitive than adults, he can feel the difference today.

Tears, like glass beads, fell from Mu Qing's eyes, crackled and fell to the ground, smashed to pieces.

Ye Cao winked at the person who sealed the coffin, and with the sound of "boom", Prince Mu will not be able to sleep, and will sleep forever in the ground.

"Sister, is the father looking for your mother?"

"Qing'er."

Nihuang hugged her younger brother and wept bitterly in front of Prince Mu's spirit.From today onwards, their siblings are orphans, and a family is also torn apart today.

Seeing the crying siblings, Ye Cao bowed to Prince Mu and swore: "Save my life, and I will protect your whole family."

"Report! The Southern Chu army is suppressing the situation."

"Sir Lang, follow me to attack." General Wei immediately stood up, wiped away his tears, and led the soldiers to fight.
