The king is not the king, the minister is not the minister

Chapter 53 1 Sword Light Cold 4 States II

One hundred thousand troops were dispatched.

Along the way, Yu Zhuo discussed with Qi Ruo the reason why the Bailian Society is so deceptive.This sect probably recruited a lot of capable people and strangers, if they do a few casually, they can use this to confuse people's hearts.

Qi Ruo huddled in Yu Zhuo's tent and watched him keep mixing some strange herbs, so he asked, "Old Yu, let me know what happened in the Imperial Prison that day."

"Want to know?"

"Old Yu, you're being unkind." Qi Ruo got up and slapped the smell of herbs in front of her nose, "This smell is really bad, what's the matter?"

Yu Zhuo divided the herbs into small cloth bags, threw one to Qiruo, and said, "It's for repelling insects. Tomorrow we will reach the boundary of Guangxi. The mountain roads are winding and the forests are lush. Be careful."

"My people are exploring the way ahead, don't worry." Qi Ruo asked resolutely, "Old Yu, you really don't plan to reveal anything, at least you have some mental preparations."

"It's just a trick." Yu Zhuo wanted to pull back his sleeve, but Qi Ruo took a deep breath while pulling it, revealing an inscrutable expression.

A chill suddenly rose in his heart, and Yu Zhuo asked him, "What are you doing?"

Letting go of Yu Zhuo's sleeves, Qi Ruo turned around and pulled Yu Zhuo's face, with such strength as kneading the dough, that he was almost forced to tears before letting go.Seeing that Qi Ruo still wanted to stretch her hand to her neck, Yu Zhuo shouted, "Enough."

Qi Ruo showed an unwilling look.

Seeing his reluctance, Yu Zhuo took out a bottle of potion from the medicine box and slapped it on his face, saying, "You see, it's a human face, don't worry about it."

Resentfully withdrew his hand, Qi Ruo left the camp angrily.

It was midwinter, but the trees in the forest were still lush.Yu Zhuo went out of the camp and turned around, the moonlight was bright, it should have been extremely quiet, but occasionally patrolling soldiers made the dead leaves crisp, the gurgling water by the stream and the intermittent snoring rippling in the forest go.

Yu Zhuo involuntarily slowed down his breathing.

In a flash of coldness, Yu Zhuo turned around and precisely grabbed the wrist of the person behind him and folded it down. He heard a crisp sound of bone cracking. The thief didn't even yell, and quickly went to catch the white blade with his other hand.

How could Yu Zhuo make this person fulfill his wish, quickly grabbed the dagger, inserted it between his teeth, let go of his wrist, and pinched the back of his neck instead.Drag this person Yu Zhuo directly to Ji Zhang's camp.

It happened that a shadow was creeping into the tent.

"Stop!" Yu Zhuo shouted to stop the man, obviously this man's heart was not as good as that of the person subdued by Yu Zhuo, and he fled quickly, only to see something flying into the air where it exploded into a gorgeous firework.

Qi Ruo came out first, and when he saw the man lying on the ground, he went to dig his mouth.

"There's blood sealing the throat again." Qi Ruo threw away the pill, "What's the origin of this Bailian Society?"

Ji Chang ran out in a hurry and asked, "Master Yu, where is this signal?" The signal fireworks used in the military are definitely not so fancy.

"I can't see for the time being that the position of the army has been exposed, and someone came to intercept and kill the coach."

Ji Chang turned pale with fright, Yu Zhuo also frowned, and said: "Nanyu Xingwei is very good at interrogating prisoners, so I will send people to them."

"Yes, yes, Xiao Meng, hurry up and get the people who are patrolling tonight, what are they doing for food?"

Yu Zhuo called to him: "Wait a minute."

It's no wonder they, the night was dark and windy, only a few people sneaked in, and even the people from Nan Yu Xing Si didn't notice.However, once the two succeed, the consequences will be disastrous.

"You don't need to shout, and you will be fined for one month." Yu Zhuo glanced at Qi Ruo who was hiding in the dark, and then said to Ji Chang, "My lord, go and rest first, if there is a commotion here, people will not be able to sleep peacefully. Nor is it beneficial."

"Master Yu is right, but if there is one, there are two, we must not take it lightly." Ji Chang reminded.

The letter from Nan Yu Xingsi was expected to be conveyed faster than that from the army.After reading it, Xia Houzhan frowned, and said, "The letter didn't say whether I was injured or not, and Qiruo's affairs are getting more and more uncertain."

"Then...then there must be no injuries. Mr. Yu is capable, and no one can be injured." The Nanyu Xingwei who reported the letter couldn't help but think of what he saw in the dark prison before.

"Your eyes have flickered these past two days, but what can you tell me?"

Nan Yu Xingwei was startled, did he feel that his performance was so obvious?Quickly knelt on the ground and said: "This subordinate doesn't know whether to speak properly, Mr. Yu... forbids his subordinates to disclose."

Xia Houzhan was startled, thinking that something must have happened to Yu Zhuo, and learned to bribe Nanyu Xingwei to conceal it: "Let me explain clearly every word."

"Yes... that's how it is." The imperial guard thought that the army had reached the border of Lingnan at this time, and it was in line with Yu Zhuo's words, so he told all the things that happened in the dark prison that day. again.

The leaves in the forest were motionless, filled with a slightly cold mist, and occasionally birdsong broke the stillness.

Since the assassination on that day, Yu Zhuo has been unbearably disturbed. At night, there will always be disturbances. Yu Zhuo knows that this is the strategy of the Bailian Club to exhaust the army, but because he is not familiar with the place, he can't find it. to the solution.

"We'll be in Guangxi in a day. My lord, which way should we go?" The lieutenant general's guide was a clerk who was originally from Guangxi in the army, and he always squinted his eyes to see things.

The maps in their hands were all drawn by the Yuxingwei in front of them. The Yuxingwei recruited a strange person to travel around the mountains and rivers. Wherever they went, they could draw maps to the exact point.

One passes through the Yao village, and the other is the river valley. If he takes a detour through the forest, he may be ambushed. The forest is hard to guard against.

After listening to the guide's analysis, Ji Chang said: "Let's go to the village."

Ji Chang's lieutenant general hesitated: "I'm afraid it's not good. What if these southern barbarians collude with the Bailian society? I heard that women from both Miao and Yao tribes will play Gu, and they are especially xenophobic."

"It's okay." Yu Zhuo looked up, looked through the shade of trees, looked into the clouds and mist, and asked Ji Chang: "Where is that direction?"

"One line of sky." Ji Chang said, "Actually, this is the closest road, but I really can't take it."

Speaking of Yixiantian, the guide hastened to exaggerate the extremely dangerous road there.The road is narrow, and in some places only one or two people can pass through; it is not conducive to combat: the stone walls on both sides of the river are towering.Therefore, this place was first ruled out.

The bottom of the river valley is open and gentle, and there are a lot of stones to cover it. Even if there are rolling stones, it is easy to avoid them. The number of bandits under the hands of Bailian Society is not many, and they will definitely not fight head-on.Therefore, most people still prefer the valley area.

"Instead of asking us to find these people, we might as well wait for them to come to our door." Yu Zhuo said, "We will be stationed outside the sky this evening."

Yu Zhuo moved forward the time for stationing and resting by half an hour.

At nightfall, there was no one who came to spy or assassinate, obviously thinking that if they dared to walk the sky, they were ready to die.

"Don't make any fools this time." Yu Zhuo warned.

"Don't worry, I checked it out for you a long time ago. Twenty of us were squatting in the woods, and there were 500 people in total." Qi Ruo took a piece of paper and marked out the approximate location.

After receiving the paper, Yu Zhuo nodded to indicate that he had nothing to do.

Curling his lips in disgust, Qi Ruo warned him: "If we go around Hei, they will run away immediately. Even if they don't run away, killing three or 400 people will be easy."

"Of course not going to the top." Yu Zhuo smiled pretentiously, "You will know when the time comes."

"Huh~"

Standing in front of Yixiantian, Ji Zhang was still a little trembling in his heart, he laughed dryly twice, and then said: "Why don't we go to the river valley, it's not bad for a day and a half."

"General Ji, don't worry and lead the troops away." Yu Zhuo solemnly called out to General, making Ji Chang even more confused.

No matter how you look at it, it is a dead end. If it really goes on, even the gods will not be able to save it.Immortal——Ji Chang suddenly remembered the rumors circulating among the people in the imperial court that Yu Zhuo could really be the reincarnation of an immortal.

Reluctantly finding such a reason for himself, Ji Chang began to command the army across the sky.

Although there was some water mist, there were no falling rocks, no ambush, nothing, but some places were too narrow and the road was too difficult, which delayed a lot of time.Ji Chang also walked the road in fear.

However, the bandits lurking in various places don't think so.They waited and waited, but they didn't see any movement from the army standing outside the line of sky.

Yu Zhuo dismounted and pulled out the sword on his waist, and slashed heavily at the void in the canyon. The sword light was cold and dazzling, as if it had broken some obscurity, and even the misty morning mist disappeared.

Rubbing the black eyes, Yu Zhuo smiled lightly, and said to the two junior lieutenants who followed behind, "You two walked tremblingly, like walking on thin ice."

Although he couldn't understand what Yu Zhuo was talking about, he still scratched his head in embarrassment, thinking that he must be timid.

In the blink of an eye, a ray of light flashed in the canyon, and the army unexpectedly passed through the sky and walked to the exit.The enemy bandits had already been terrified, but then a signal flare was sent out among them, dazzling in the dawn sky.

"Withdraw—" just as the leader who was ambushing here finished speaking, an arrow shot directly at the tree trunk beside him.In the distance, I saw someone at the mouth of the canyon with a bow and an arrow.

Ji Chang already knew it, and led the soldiers forward lightly, and entered the undergrowth.
