Chapter 452 The Mantis Catches the Cicada Oriole Behind
"Yes, little one, let's go right away." The military advisor quickly agreed and got off his horse.
His eyes turned to Shen Ruzhou, and he saw that she had a delicate face and a graceful figure, especially her slim and soft waist. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was a peerless beauty.He couldn't help his Adam's apple rolling up and down, with a lewd smile on his face, and he stretched out his hands to touch it.
This sudden change disrupted Shen Ruzhou's plan. She knew clearly that if she took action now, even if she stabbed Beiliao's military advisor to death with a poisonous needle, she would not be able to turn things around.
Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she didn't know how to deal with it.
At this time, a soft whip suddenly flew from behind and wrapped around Shen Ruzhou's waist. Before she could react, Xiao Chenyan had already pulled her back behind her.
The beauty who was about to get his hands was pulled back again. The military advisor stamped his feet angrily, hating that he had acted too slowly.
General Beiliao narrowed his eyes and exuded a fierce murderous aura. "You are so angry that you can become a beauty. If King Wu Cheng wants to be a hero, do you want to ask the soldiers if they are willing to die with you?"
General Beiliao began to sow discord and disturb the morale of the army.
Xiao Chenyan turned around and glanced at everyone coldly, shouting loudly: "Beiliao has deliberately sent the most elite cavalry, will they let us go just for a woman?"
As soon as the secret was revealed, the soldiers suddenly became quiet.
Xiao Chenyan drew out his sword with a "swish" and said word by word, "At this moment, the only way to survive is to fight to the death."
General Beiliao saw that his plan to disturb people's hearts was destroyed. Not only was he not angry, he clapped his hands and smiled and said: "It seems that King Wucheng is not a loser."
He held the riding crop and pointed forward, giving the order crisply.
"Kill! Not one left!"
In an instant, the war horses neighed, and the Beiliao cavalry raised their spears and swooped down from the hill.
Xiao Chenyan protected Shen Ruzhou behind him and held his sword to face the enemy.
The two sides soon became entangled.
Xiao Chenyan, who was highly skilled in martial arts, took the lead in the fight. With his sword in his hand and his sword falling, one by one the Northern Liao cavalry were beheaded and dismounted.
At the critical moment, a voice suddenly sounded, "Stop, stop quickly."
Everyone followed the sound and saw that it was General Bei Liao wearing the golden mask who had spoken.
Shen Ruzhou saw a sharp short knife hanging on his neck, and the person holding the knife was actually Bei Xiuyan.
It turned out that he did not leave, but avoided everyone's sight, sneaked behind the Bei Liao army, and then took the enemy's commander hostage while others were unprepared.
Everyone looked at Bei Xiuyan with bated breath, waiting for him to speak.
"Everyone, stand down and let them go."
General Beiliao said very cooperatively, "Easy to say, easy to say." He waved to the military advisor: "Get out of the way and let King Wu Cheng and his party leave."
When the military advisor saw this, he did not dare to delay and ordered the Beiliao cavalry to retreat, making way for Xiao Chenyan and the others.
Shen Ruzhou had recovered from the panic just now, jumped on a truck carrying food, and said to the soldiers, "Whoever knows how to drive, we will take the food with us."
The soldiers who knew how to drive jumped on the grain cart one after another, whipped their whips, and the carriage gurgled away.Other soldiers also got on their horses to escort him on the left and right, and left together.
Shen Ruzhou sat on the carriage and looked at the Beixiu Banquet from a distance, his eyes full of worry. How could he get away if they left?
Xiao Chenyan was stabbed in the chest and the injury was serious. It was inconvenient for him to ride a horse, so he also sat on the grain cart.
The carriage ran quickly, raising dust on the ground. Shen Ruzhou's sight was blocked and Beixiu Yan could no longer be seen clearly.
Everyone ran for more than an hour, and then gradually slowed down after making sure that the Beiliao cavalry had not caught up.
Xiao Chenyan clutched his wound and leaned against the edge of the car, with no trace of the joy of surviving the disaster on his face.
He knew Beiliao wanted to rob food, so he sent Shen Chumu there. Unexpectedly, the real purpose of Beiliao was not for food at all, but to take the opportunity to kill Shen Mu.
Once the commander dies, the army will be leaderless, and it will naturally be much easier to attack the northern border.
Such a deep scheming, sending out so many spies, only to return a piece of useful information about transporting grain, and yet being set up like this by the general of Beiliao, it is not unscrupulous.
Xiao Chenyan's eyes flashed and he began to guess the true identity of General Beiliao.
As everyone was walking, the sound of horse hooves was heard behind them, and everyone's heart suddenly rose to their throats.
Shen Ruzhou turned around and saw a man and a horse running towards them quickly.
"It's the regent." The sharp-eyed soldier recognized the person and shouted happily.
I saw Beixiu Yan, dressed in moon-white brocade clothes and spotless, riding on horseback with a heroic appearance. The afterglow of the setting sun behind him fell on him, and his whole figure seemed to be walking on thousands of golden lights.
In this situation, Shen Ruzhou's mind suddenly thought of a sentence he had read in a book: To take the enemy's leader among thousands of troops is like entering a land where there is no one.I'm talking about people like Bei Xiuyan.
Beixiu Banquet came amidst everyone's cheers.
Shen Ruzhou was overjoyed, and was about to step forward to greet him, but was grabbed by Xiao Chenyan. The light in his eyes flashed, and he asked with disbelief: "How did the regent escape from danger?"
"I have my own way." Beixiu Yan did not intend to answer him, but said coldly: "Go back to the camp quickly. The enemy's advance team has arrived. We must deal with it carefully."
"It's Mu Zheng, right? The Northern Liao general just now is the Northern Liao king Mu Zheng." Although Xiao Chenyan was asking a question, his tone was extremely firm.
"Yes, he came in person." As soon as Beixiu Banquet came out, Shen Ruzhou gasped. He had heard his father say how powerful this Northern Liao king was before, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he realized that his father was not exaggerating in the slightest.
Everyone became nervous, and without any further delay, they sped up and rushed to the military camp.
On the other side, Mu Zheng, the king of Northern Liao, sat lazily on his horse, with his military advisor holding the reins and walking back like a snail.
"The King of Accounts has taken note of it this time, and I will definitely get it back with interest." Mu Zheng looked ahead fiercely.
My master was frustrated. At this moment, the military advisor saw this and continued to comfort him in a good voice, "Master, don't worry, you are the strongest king in our Northern Liao, and you will definitely have a chance in the future."
Mu Zheng didn't speak any more, but when he thought of the Beixiu Banquet, he let out a long sigh, looking full of regret.
If Beixiu Yan didn't have something to do with him, he wouldn't be so tied up.
