Click, click.
Two sounds of metal breaking were heard.
The restraints that imprisoned and pulled Yun Ce's collarbone disappeared.
His body lost support and slipped from the torture rack.
Yunda grabbed his shoulder with one hand and lifted him up. After this twists and turns, Yun Ce was already unconscious, and even the breathing in his chest was weak and inaudible. With a look in his eyes, the dungeon door opened automatically, and a Liu Guan stood not far from the door.
Liu Guan stepped forward with a forced smile and blocked Yun Da's path without leaving any trace: "Marquis Yun Che, Yun Yuanmou is still a prisoner. You cannot let him go without the permission of the master."
Yun Da glanced sideways at Liu Liu with disdain in his eyes.
With such a threat, Liu Guan did not give in.
He said firmly: "Please Chehou, please don't embarrass me."
"What kind of face do you have? Why should I worry about whether you are embarrassed or not?" Yunda's response was not polite at all. , "The border of the Northern Desert, even you I don’t need to care about those people above, let alone you? Yun Ce disappoints me again, but he is still my disciple. When will it be your turn to do things like cleaning up the family? "
Yun Da has objections to Yun Ce's severe punishment.
Liu Guan’s smile stiffened on his lips.
Although Yunda did not reveal any murderous intention, the other party's eyes were indifferent. She had no doubt that if she dared to stop him for a while, the end would be that the bodies would be separated! Liu Guan lowered his head, took a step back and sideways, and made way for him: "Please, Marquis Che." He asked to stay: "Che Hou, please be patient."
"What's the matter?"
Wen Da looked vaguely impatient.
Liu Guan did not dare to delay and said bluntly: "My lord, I have something to ask Marquis Che. Is the leader of Kang State, Shen Youli, really dead?"
Shen Tang was penetrated by Yun Da's formation. The message of the heart is true.
But there are countless mysterious and strange methods in this world, and there are also various ways to save life. There is no guarantee that Shen Youli will not be able to escape from the shell and hide the truth. Is Shen Tang alive or dead now? This issue is related to the next military action in the Northern Desert.
The main force of the Northern Desert is now at Shexing Pass, breaking through the first line of defense of Kang State, but at the same time, it also puts itself on the fire.
Because the problem of food and grass supply is difficult to solve.
The granary inside Shexing Pass was burned to the ground by Xian Yujian.
The grain and grass currently consumed are all brought by the main force. If there is no stable external supply, the main force will not be able to occupy the Shooting Star Pass for a long time. The choice now facing Beimo is to sail against the current or retreat if you don't advance.
Liu Guan is the absolute main fighter.
She acted boldly and proposed to take this opportunity to attack the entire territory of Kunzhou - because the enemy is provided with food, he will become stronger by defeating the enemy! Fight to feed war!
You must know that in order to deal with the Northern Desert and shorten the food line and consumption, Shen Youli opened up wasteland in Kunzhou in the past few years, hoarded food and grass, lived frugally, and accumulated a lot of savings.
These granaries just make Beimo cheaper. As long as they press heavy troops to defeat it, the food and fodder problem can be easily solved, and at the same time they can further expand their own victory, killing two birds with one stone.
It’s just that she didn’t expect Kang Guo to react faster.
Almost a few hours after the fall of Shexing Pass, various counties and counties in Kunzhou carried out operations to clear the country and move all personnel to the rear of the military defense. If Bei Mo intends to use war to support war, and goes deep into Kunzhou alone, without the support of a stable food line, there is a high probability that it will run out of ammunition and food, and will be attacked by Shen Tang's troops from both sides.
Even if there are strong generals like Werder Gong Cheng to help out, it will be difficult to obtain food and grass supplies for tens of thousands of people in a few days. To say the least, it's fast enough, but can it be faster than burning food and grass?
This can be seen from Xian Yujian's choice.
Shen Youli is a cruel lunatic, and the mental state of her civil servants is also touching. Before Shexing Pass was completely occupied, Xian Yujian burned so much food and grass at will. He doesn't give himself any way out, and perfectly interprets the four words "having too much food will burn your hands". No prodigal son can be so wealthy. Even if Liu Guan rushed straight to the Shexingguan grain depot at the first time, he would only have time to see the ruins.
Although it is difficult to get off the tiger, as long as the person named Shen dies...
Sooner or later, the army of Kang State will be torn apart.
The difficulties facing the Northern Desert can also be easily solved.
The worst case scenario is that if Shexing Pass is abandoned, and the country of Kang is in civil strife, Beimo will take the opportunity to stab him in the back, and the vast northwest will be at his fingertips.
Just judging from the reports obtained, Shen Youli occasionally appeared in front of people, and there was no sign of sadness from top to bottom in the Kangguo Camp. I don’t know whether Shen Youli died without mourning, or whether she escaped by luck. This answer is related to Bei Mo's next move.
"If a person can live without a care, then he may still be alive." Yun Da doesn't care about Shen Tang's life or death. Unless her level of strength completely surpasses his own, he can stab her through the heart once. There will be a second, third, and fourth time!
No matter how many life-saving means she has, how many times can she use them? Even if the high priest of the Gongxi clan is present, it only makes him a little troublesome.
Wunda’s answer was ambiguous.
This is obviously not what Liu Guan and Beimo senior officials want.
What they need is a definite and affirmative answer.
Liu Guandao: "Marquis Yunche..."
Yunda interrupted her: "If you don't even have the patience, you yourselves will send people to visit Kang Guoda at night. Doesn’t Ying know whether the person named Shen is dead or alive? Just because I deigned to help Bei Mo doesn’t mean that you guys can yell at me.”
He is just using Bei Mo to achieve his personal goals.
At most it can be considered a cooperative relationship.
Monarch and minister?
Up and down?
Hmph, what are you dreaming about?
After Yunda finished speaking, he didn’t care about Liu Guan’s face. He swayed and disappeared with Yun Ce. Liu Guan took two steps forward and stared down at the place where Yunda disappeared, his eyes dark and incomprehensible. There was no emotion on her face, but judging from the tightening and loosening of the hands hanging by her sides, she was not in a good mood at the moment.
Yun Ce thought he wouldn't survive it.
After regaining consciousness, I saw a familiar face.
It was a face that was haggard, with black eyes and green stubble. At first glance, it was almost impossible to recognize who the other person was.
It’s no wonder that Yun Ce didn’t react.
It is difficult to do things without hair on the mouth. In this world, beards are one of the signs of adulthood for men. They usually start growing beards when they are crowned or after the age of weak crowns, but this custom is not popular in Kang State. Perhaps because the female protagonist is in charge, very few of the men in Shen Tang's tent have beards. Xian Yujian kept a beard for a while, but seeing that everyone else was naked, he shaved it off too.
Gradually developed the habit of shaving.
I am used to seeing my junior brother look like a fair-faced young boy, but for a while I was really not used to the unshaven and tired image in front of me.
“Zi Gu is down too?”
Yun Ce’s voice was weak.
This place is not a dark and smelly dungeon.
Xian Yujian said happily: "Senior brother is finally awake."
Yun Ce was stunned: "Is your brother not dead?"
With Wu Dan being banned, he dragged his seriously injured body He was severely tortured for several days, and then his master destroyed all his cultivation and became an ordinary person - no, his current situation is worse than ordinary people. How can this life be saved?
After saying that, Yun Ce turned around to observe his surroundings.
A very bad guess suddenly came into my mind.
"Zi Gu, could you—could it be—"
He couldn't spit out the rest of the words.
He values his principles more important than life and cultivation. He would rather die than surrender. He can stick to it, but he cannot ask his junior brother to make the same choice as him. Zi Gu is still young and has great potential. future. Even if he is no longer a general, Zigu can still be a country farmer and a street knight, enjoying a happy life. Yun Ce can understand it intellectually, but emotionally he is somewhat disappointed...
This does not look like the junior brother he has known for many years.
Master has changed, has Junior Brother also changed?
Xian Yujian knew as soon as he saw his reaction that he was thinking wrong.
Sitting next to the bed: "No, don't think too much."
Yun Ce was stunned for a moment: "How could those wolves, tigers and leopards in the Northern Desert let our brothers out so easily? Or should we say Your Majesty..."
Your Majesty promised the Northern Desert Lion to open his mouth?
When he thought of his lord, Yun Ce felt a dull pain in his head.
He vaguely remembered hearing his master talking to someone after his foundation was abolished, and he also mentioned the Lord. Lord, she seemed to have been severely wounded by the master... As this thought became clear in his mind, Yun Ce wanted to sit up anxiously, but the injury was serious and his whole body was weak. The slightest movement would affect the wound, and the pain was so painful that veins popped out on his forehead: "Zigu, is there any funeral in the camp?"
Xian Yujian said: "The news is unknown."
Both of them are prisoners, how can there be any news channel?
The only news that could be heard was also deliberately sent from Beimo.
These messages are true or false and should not be relied upon.
Xian Yujian also listened to Liu Guan's words to persuade Yun Ce to surrender, but like Yun Ce, he did not believe that the Lord was that kind of person - if the Lord were an ordinary prince, he would most likely believe it, but the Lord was unique. , she is different from the leaders of other forces. Liu Guan not only underestimated the Lord, but also underestimated the Lord by using a divorce plan.
The trust between their king and his subjects cannot be provoked by mere tactics.
Yun Ce was confused: "Then why can you come out?"
Xian Yujian: "It's Master." Yun Ce fell into silence after hearing this.
Xian Yujian looked at Yun Ce, who had only a few pieces of good flesh on his body, and his heart surged with hatred - if martial energy could not speed up the recovery of injuries, his senior brother's hands, which can perform exquisite spear skills, would be completely useless. However, now it is no different than being crippled. He sighed: "I thought Master could still care about the relationship between master and disciple, but I didn't expect..."
Xian Yujian was brought out first.
Seeing Yun Ce's martial energy dissipated and the Dan Mansion annihilated, Xian Yujian thought it was Bei Mo who took action, but he didn't expect his mentor to admit that it was him. Xian Yujian was about to collapse on the spot. His eyes were splitting and he asked: "Master, if you want to clean up the family, just kill us two brothers. Why do you need to abolish senior brother?" Could it be that the relationship between master and disciple for more than thirty years cannot be exchanged for even a happy moment? 】
Just kill, why torture?
Wunda only left one sentence: [You senior brothers are different. 】
Yun Ce is like himself when he was young and vigorous. He can let his apprentice survive, but he cannot forgive "himself" easily. Therefore, he let Xian Yujian go, but severely punished Yun Ce.
Xian Yujian came down from the mountain early. He had not seen his master for more than ten years and was a stranger everywhere: [The disciple cannot understand. 】
Yunda said: [No need for the weak to understand. 】
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and left.
There are elites from the Northern Desert strictly guarding the tent outside. The seal of Xianyu Jiandan Mansion has been unlocked, but it is almost impossible to break out.
Not to mention, there is an immobile senior brother to take care of.
Yun Ce looked at the top of his head and smiled bitterly: "Just let the two be clear."
Not to mention that the master has protected the ancestors for five generations, but only for his own generation. If the master does not take him back to the mountain gate, , he has also turned into a white skeleton a long time ago. How could he live to his current age and see so many people and things? He is lucky to get it, but he is destined to lose it.
Yun Ce has a good attitude.
Even if he fell from a high platform overnight and lost his strong strength, he did not give up on himself. He should take medicine and recuperate from his injuries.
As long as he can live to see Kang Guo's future.
I don’t mind whether I am a brave warrior or a trafficker.
On the second day, Liu Guan came.
Xian Yujian was on guard: "What are you doing here?"
Liu Guan told them a piece of news in a good mood.
"Kang Guo's camp is willing to return the North Desert prisoners. The two prisoners will be exchanged for one of the guards at Shexing Pass. Unfortunately, the two generals are not among them. You might as well guess the reason?" Her eyes were filled with smiles, and she looked towards Yun Ce, who was lying unable to move, said regretfully, "Oh, what a pity. If the general had been willing to surrender yesterday, he wouldn't have ended up with master and disciple turning against each other and their cultivation being ruined."
She clicked her tongue again. Twice.
"It's a pity, it's a pity."
"It's a pity that loyalty goes wrong."
Xian Yujian took out the blade and put it on Liu Guan's neck, gritting his teeth: "Shut up Mouth, otherwise I will behead you with this knife!”
Liu Guan smiled brightly and put his finger on the blade.
Xian Yujian's threat was pushed away with a gentle push.
Not only did they not retreat, but they approached.
The distance between the two is so close that they can sense each other's movements: "General Xianyu is eager to silence him. Is he angry because of embarrassment? Did he find that his hard work in the past few days has become a joke? General Yun is irreversible. General Xianyu You might as well make some more plans.”
The veins in Xianyu’s hand holding the knife bulged.
He wished he could chop off Liu Guan's head with his sword, but the sense he had developed from being in a high position for many years told him that no matter how provocative Liu Guan was at this moment, he could not move. Once moved, Beimo will turn against him and refuse to release the prisoners, and will also kill his senior brother.
“Get out!”
“Don’t blame me for being rude if you don’t get out!”
Xian Yujian used great restraint to suppress his impulse.
Liu Guan smiled, and before leaving, he looked at Xian Yujian with pitiful and pitiful eyes, leaving behind a sentence: "If General Xianyu doesn't believe it, you might as well see it with your eyes. See if it's a lie."
Xian Yujian just hesitated for a moment and followed.
Yun Ce’s obstruction is useless.
He was so anxious that he had difficulty moving.
Junior brother came back within a quarter of an hour.
Looking even more haggard: "The exchange of prisoners is true."
It would be true without their senior brothers.
Yun Ce lay on his back, looking up and murmuring: "If the Lord is fine, he will not fall for such a divorce plan, unless..."
Xian Yujian: "Unless the Lord Something unexpected has happened to us. "
With no leader and no successor, Qi Zhongshu and the others were unable to suppress the chaos. In order to stabilize the situation, they had to obey Bei Mo's alienation plan and blame the failure of Shexing Pass on them. In exchange for the stability of military morale? This bad news instantly drained Yun Ce's energy, his face visibly deteriorated, and he vomited a mouthful of blood. They would rather believe that something happened to the Lord than to believe that the Lord will fall into the trap.
The core of the alienation plan is to make the enemy suspicious of himself.
It doesn't work as long as you trust each other enough.
The trust between their monarch and his ministers can withstand these tests.
The two brothers looked at each other in silence.
After a long time, Yun Ce said tiredly: "I'm tired for my brother."
He didn't sleep peacefully this night.
Half asleep, half awake, haunted by nightmares.
The injury, which has been recovering slowly, is getting worse.
There were no reliable army doctors here in Beimo, let alone Xinglin doctors. The only thing Xian Yujian could do was to stay by his bed day and night, holding his hand and instilling martial spirit. He used force energy to stabilize his injuries, but with little success.
I also developed a high fever in the middle of the night.
The temperature was high enough to cook Yun Ce.
Xian Yujian tried various methods to reduce fever, but with little success. Seeing Yun Ce's breath getting weaker and weaker, he was so scared that he didn't even dare to close his eyes. It was hard to stay up until the sky was hazy.
Yun Ce seemed to have regained consciousness for a while.
He asked weakly: "When is it?"
Xian Yujian was about to answer when his pupils suddenly contracted.
He clearly saw the gravel on the ground shaking!
There was still a clear tremor under my feet.
Is this the earth dragon turning over?
He did not dare to hesitate at all, and carried Yun Ce out of the room. The shaking under his feet became stronger and stronger, and he heard vague and non-existent banging sounds in his ears. The movement of the Earth Dragon turning over also alerted the Northern Desert guards, causing chaos everywhere. The ground dragon turning over is no joke. If there is too much movement and a crack appears in the city defense, there is no guarantee that Shen Tang will not take the opportunity to attack with troops.
The alertness everywhere has reached its highest point.
But news soon came from the outpost.
It’s not an earth dragon turning over!
The earthquake under his feet became more and more intense, and dust kept falling from the beams. Liu Guan asked: "What if it wasn't an earth dragon turning over?"
The soldier was dumbfounded, not knowing how to describe it.
Liu Guan was so anxious that he pushed him away.
Go to the outpost and check it out for yourself.
At the end of the horizon, the smoke and dust in the sky connected in a line from the explosion, converging into a "wave", but the direction of the "wave" was not from Shooting Star Pass. Liu Guan was nervous. The Northern Desert army was on standby at any time. Unexpectedly, except for the continuous sound of explosions, half an hour had passed and Shen Tang's soldiers and horses were not seen coming.
Liu Guan was puzzled: "What is this doing?"
Intercepting the grain line in the Northern Desert?
But there is no heavy equipment and troops today.
