Chapter 1127: Incomplete Success
In Hulao Pass, they stayed up almost all night.
Everyone tossed and turned, waiting for His Highness King Qin to come back. After waiting hard all night, they finally saw Shen Wuzheng and Yu Wenye entering the door in the morning light. However, he was injured.
Moreover, Princess Qin was not rescued.
In this way, everything seemed to have been in vain last night. Everyone was a little discouraged, but they still hurriedly escorted Yuwen Ye back to the fort, and immediately called the doctor to help him treat his wounds, while looking at Yuwen Ye With the horrific wounds on their shoulders, everyone felt even more depressed and desolate, as if the shadow of failure had turned into a solid boulder, pressing down on their heads.
Fortunately, at this time, someone came to report that another group of people came back, namely Xue Lin and Shen Tutai who went back to Luocang in two groups last night. Some of Xue Lin and others were injured, but fortunately they were all okay. The important ones Yes, he has the ability to kill enemy generals!
But the most important thing is that not only did Shen Tutai and his group come back safe and sound, they also brought back a female general!
It is Shi Yuxin!
When he heard the news, a doctor was suturing Yu Wenye’s wound with a needle and thread. Although there was no expression on his face, the doctor could clearly see that Yu Wenye’s shoulder was slightly shaken, and the wound It suddenly cracked open a little, and blood started to flow again.
The doctor panicked and said: "Your Highness!"
Yu Wenye glanced at him, then looked down at his wound, took a deep breath to calm down, and the doctor was relieved. He hurriedly treated the wound again, applied medicine, and waited until the sutures were completed before bringing gauze over. Wrap him layer by layer. After everything was done, he carefully warned: "Your Highness, please be sure not to touch the wound in recent days."
Yu Wenye waved his hand lightly: "Go down."
Then The doctor probably knew in his heart that these words were in vain, so he could only sigh, look at the corner again, and turned around and left uneasily.
When he left, Yu Wenye looked up at Xue Lin and Shen Tutai standing on the other side, nodded lightly and said: "You did a good job."
Shen Tutai Immediately said: "His Highness is planning the strategy, and the general will wait for the execution."
Xue Lin also said: "If His Highness had not arranged for General Shentu to ambush and attack, if only one of the generals had been killed, Chen Cai would not have been able to come back."
At this point, he suddenly struck I shuddered, the thrilling scene last night seemed to be happening again Appearing in front of his eyes - Shi Yuxin rode her horse and rushed in front of him at lightning speed. The red tassel gun with a cold light in her hand was pierced between her eyebrows, almost piercing his head at that moment. , Shen Tutai suddenly rushed out and knocked her away.
Perhaps, if he had been delayed even for a moment, he would have been carried back as a cold corpse today.
And this woman is not only smart, she is also really strong in martial arts. Even though she was caught off guard by Shen Tutai's attack, she did not mess up her position at all, but fought back hard. The two of them fought for more than thirty rounds in a row until Shen Tutai and Xue Lin attacked from two sides and captured all her subordinates before she was finally captured due to exhaustion.
Yu Wenye waved his hand lightly.
In fact, although he made such a scene in Xiao Yuansui's camp last night, he knew very well that the real battlefield was back to Luocang.
Not only did he send Xue Lin to stop Chen Cai who was transporting grain and grass to Luoyang, but most importantly, he knew that Xiao Yuansui would definitely send Shi Yuxin to help Chen Cai and stop his own troops, so even if he tried hard, After eliminating the risk of Hulao Pass, he also sent Shen Tutai again in order to capture Shi Yuxin alive.
Last night's battle, in the final analysis, was to exchange a Shiyu Tao for a Shiyuxin!
Unfortunately, the success was not complete... Shang Ruyi still could not be rescued.
Looking at Yu Wenye's indifferent expression, Shen Tutai had already heard about the battle that King Qin experienced last night when he came back. He thought about it and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Your Highness, Xiao Yuansui is over there. It’s not a loss. After all, Shi Yutao was rescued. They will definitely not embarrass the princess.”
Yu Wenye glanced at him and said nothing.
If it were in the past, he could certainly be sure that although he was angry and dissatisfied, he could not stop other men from being interested in Shang Ruyi. In other words, the woman he would be so attracted to was naturally higher than the world. Other men are not blind, so how can they not see her goodness?
But after last night, he clearly felt Xiao Yuansui's anger and confusion.
He felt that Xiao Yuansui's belief seemed to have collapsed, which was why he was so angry when facing himself, and felt a little confused when facing the sudden appearance of the good boy. It even gave them an opportunity to take advantage of it - but it stands to reason that this person has a firm mind and will not waver in his belief just because of a victory or defeat, unless someone shakes his mind.
Is it Shang Ruyi?
What did she do or say that made people like Xiao Yuansui less confident?
If it was really because of her, would Xiao Yuansui be angry after last night's "failure"? Can he still treat Shang Ruyi with the peaceful attitude he had in the past?
Thinking of this, Yu Wenye gradually became unable to control his breathing and heartbeat. His violent breathing caused his chest to rise and fall sharply. Seeing that the bandage he had just wrapped seemed to have a faint pink color, Shen Tutai He said hurriedly: "Your Highness, no matter what, Xiao Yuansui is not a fool. He would embarrass the princess like this." There is no benefit to him being a female figure; besides, the war in Luoyang has reached such a stage that no one can determine the outcome. In the future, it is impossible for him not to leave a way out for himself. ”
It was only then that a very soft and low sound of relief sounded in the lobby.
It was Shen Wuzheng who had been sitting in the corner.
He had been silent since he returned to Hulao Pass this morning. Only then did everyone realize that once this military officer, who had always been brilliant and upright, had a cold face, the sense of oppression emanating from his body was no less than that of the King of Qin. Your Highness, that’s why everyone subconsciously lowered their voices when they spoke just now.
It wasn't until Shen Tutai said these words that Shen Wuzheng's tense emotions finally seemed to be soothed and relaxed.
As soon as he relaxed, everyone subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Wenye also turned to look at him, but said nothing. He was silent for a long time before saying to Shentu Tai: "You are right."
Shen Tutai nodded hurriedly.
Yu Wenye asked again: "Where is Shi Yuxin locked up?"
Shen Tutai immediately said: "In the row of stone houses in the northeast corner of the fort."
"Where?"
Yu Wenye frowned slightly and glanced at him with some doubts - there is a dungeon in Hulao Pass, or he could be detained in a military camp like Shi Yutao was imprisoned before. How could he be imprisoned in a garrison?
Shen Tutai said: "This Shi Yuxin is very skilled in martial arts and has many tricks. I was worried that being locked up with others would make her look for an opportunity to escape, so I was locked up there alone."
