Chapter 1109 Stealing the Camp
Wuxue was originally staring intently at the figures shaking outside. She had followed Shang Ruyi out for many days, and she was much more keen on dispatching soldiers and horses than in the past. Knowing that Xiao Yuan tonight A sophisticated army must have some arrangements. Even though they can't do much, they still care about it.
Hearing what Shang Ruyi said, she immediately turned around: "It's true."
"..."
"The slave eavesdropped when she went to get food for the princess at noon. As they said, the war in Luoyang was not going well for King Qi, so Liang Shide sent troops to break through the siege and go back to Luocang to collect grain. "
"..."
"Princess, Prince Qi is too——"
Before she finished speaking, Shang Ruyi looked at her with dark eyes, shook his head slightly, and lay down Xue immediately pursed her lips and swallowed the word "useless".
She usually doesn't talk much, but this time she is trapped in the enemy camp and her life and death are at stake. If Luoyang can win, it will be good news for them. But she didn't expect Yu Wencheng to be so useless. She will inevitably There was resentment in his heart, but Shang Ruyi was still very cautious.
She said softly: "You can't talk nonsense even outside the palace. If you get used to it and talk nonsense when you go back, you will get into trouble."
Wuxue said hurriedly: "Yes, I am guilty."
Shang Ruyi shook his head gently, then turned to look at the revolving figure on the tent, Wuxue thought for a while and moved closer to her Next to him, he lowered his voice and whispered: "Princess, are Xiao Yuansui and the others going to help Liang Shide?"
"Ying It should be."
Shang Ruyi thought for a moment and murmured: "Since the battle report has been received here, then Hulao Pass should also have heard about it."
When Wuxue heard this, she immediately opened her eyes wide: "If they also know about it, what will happen to His Highness?"
Shang Ruyi said: "The King of Qin is well versed in political affairs and military strategy. In fact, he told me the importance of returning to Luocang for this battle before sending troops. Unfortunately, the King of Qi did not listen to General Shentu and my brother at all." Only by admonition can we achieve the situation of being unable to win for a long time."< br>
“…”
“If he knew, he would not have allowed Liang Shide to successfully obtain the grain and grass.”
“…”
"So——"
"So," Wuxue understood something immediately. Goosebumps appeared all over his body. He lowered his voice and said, "When Xiao Yuansui and others send troops tonight, they may not only be going to help Liang Shide, but also to fight His Highness King Qin."
Shang Ruyi nodded and said: "If I You guessed it right, it should be like this. "
At this time, Wuxue also became a little uneasy. Her clenched fists were full of cold sweat. She couldn't sit still any longer, so she stood up. After walking around the tent twice, I finally walked to the tent door, gently opened the curtain and looked outside.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, the firelight shining outside broke into the quiet tent through the gap, and it suddenly made both people close their eyes.
In the shining light of the fire, soldiers were arrayed in formation, and the sound of strong horses neighing was also reflected in front of them in a trance.
But immediately, the voices of two soldiers sounded outside: "What are you doing!?"
Wuxue was startled, and then she realized that there were several soldiers surrounding their tent, guarding the door. The two soldiers were the tallest and strongest, and they immediately shouted when they saw her lifting the curtain. Scolding, Wuxue calmed down and said immediately: "The princess is thirsty, I'll get her some water."
"Didn't I just give her a pot?" "It's cold and the water is already cold. ”
“……”
The two soldiers looked at each other, then looked at Shang Ruyi, who was sitting silently in the tent with extremely cold eyes, and then said: "We will send someone in soon, so don't go. Tonight, no one can leave this place Tent step!"
After saying that, he pushed Wo Xue back and pulled down the tent heavily at the same time.
Wuxue staggered for two steps, walked back to Shang Ruyi a little unconvinced and sat down, and then said softly: "Princess, they really sent out troops."
Shang Ruyi said : "Who is leading the troops?"
Wuxue said: "I didn't see clearly. When I was about to look, those two people stopped me. It's really disgusting!"
"Are there many troops sent?"
"A lot,"
Wuxue nodded vigorously: "Although I didn't have time to see clearly just now, but the fire outside the camp was shining, I think it was The whole group of people went out."
As if to confirm her words, a moment later, there was a muffled sound that shook the mountains and the earth. It was the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground. They are so small The tent began to tremble. At this moment, the tent was opened. The soldier who had just been guarding outside came in with a pot of hot water and put it on the table in front of Shang Ruyi. He just nodded and then He said to Wuxue: "If you have nothing to do tonight, don't go out, otherwise - we won't be polite."
Hearing this threat, Wuxue immediately bit his lower lip unconvinced, But he still endured it and didn't speak.
The soldier turned and went out.
As soon as the curtains fell together, you could see the firelight outside, and you could clearly hear the sounds of people roaring and horses neighing, but they all gradually disappeared as the curtains fell. After a while, the shock and noise Completely, the entire military camp suddenly became quiet.
I don’t know if it was because it was too noisy just now, but this silence was as if the entire military camp had been hollowed out at once.
Wuxue poured a cup of hot water into Shang Ruyi's hand and said softly: "Princess, there don't seem to be many people left in the military camp."
Shang Ruyi took the cup and said softly: I didn't drink it immediately, I just held it in my hand to warm my cold fingertips. Autumn has just begun at this time, and it was not that cold originally. But for some reason, the autumn rains came early this year, and one after another they took away the remaining heat. Especially at night, they even felt it in a daze. A kind of inexplicable coldness experienced by Shujiuhan geniuses.
After being warmed for a while, Shang Ruyi said: "But there are still a lot of people outside."
Hearing this, Wuxue turned to look at the tent, because without the firelight shining outside, he could no longer see There were swaying figures outside, but based on her hearing, she could tell that the few soldiers guarding outside had not moved. She didn't know what happened elsewhere, at least their tent was surrounded like an iron barrel.
Moreover, these people's breathing was steady and strong, and they were obviously very skilled. With them watching, no matter how good her skills were, she would still be powerless.
Shang Ruyi was silent for a long time and sighed: "It seems that Xiao Yuansui attaches great importance to tonight's action. Not only is he afraid that we will escape, but he is also worried that someone will take the opportunity to steal the camp, so he has stepped up his vigilance."
“Stealing the camp?”
Hearing these two words, Wuxue's eyes suddenly lit up: "What the princess means is that your highness might come to rescue us tonight?"
Shang Ruyi frowned slightly and said: "At least , Judging from Xiao Yuansui's performance tonight, he is prepared for this."
"Then, will His Highness King Qin come?"
