Chapter 76 An Arrow in the Cold Wind
The iron hooves are clanging, and the wind is running wildly in the darkness. You can also see the cotton cover tied to the horse's hooves.
Ning Chen's eyes narrowed even tighter. The military advisor from Beimeng really wouldn't make any mistakes in any details. How much impact would it be if there was a cotton cover? In fact, it was not big. A simple description was nothing more than hearing the sound of iron hooves ten miles away or nine miles away.
However, a one-mile gap on the battlefield could have been completely different. The military advisors of the Northern Mongolian Empire did not make any mistakes in this detail.
The general who led the troops was a master. The closer he was, the less likely he could hide the aura of such a strong man. Ning Chen slowly bent his bow and took the arrow. He was about to shoot it out, but after a moment, he took it back.
"Is the Empress safe?" Ning Chen turned around, looked at the woman beside him, and asked softly.
Qingning nodded. Now Changsun’s camp is surrounded by military masters. As long as the person who came not a strong man like the one who assassinated Wu Hou before, the safety of the Empress will be foolproof.
Although the assassination a few days ago, although the Taiping Hou was seriously injured, the three swordsmen were not much better, and it was impossible for him to take action in a short period of time.
"Then I'll be relieved." After the words fell, Ning Chen turned his wheelchair and walked down from the high ground, saying, "Sister Qingning, let's go and say hello to the military advisor of the Beimeng Royal Court."
Since he only has the ability to have one arrow, why not give it to the woman in Beimeng?
Qingning looked stunned, but she didn't stop her. With her there, nothing would happen to Ning Chen.
A moment later, a carriage set out from the barracks and quickly disappeared into the darkness while the night was shining.
The distance of two hundred miles is not far. If a fast horse gallops for one hour, the speed of the carriage is not as fast as that of a fast horse, but one and a half hours later, it also arrived before the Northern Mongolian Army Camp.
Ning Chen found a slightly higher place, then looked at the direction of the Beimeng Military Camp and bent the bow in his hand again.
In front of the Beimeng camp, Fan Lingyue stood in the cold wind, quietly looking at the direction of the Daxia military camp, her eyes were blank and even more ruthless.
The light blue clothes were simple but revealed dignity. Fan Lingyue’s identity was not difficult to identify. Ning Chen felt a sense of familiarity when he saw the light blue clothes. After he focused on looking at the face of the former, he couldn’t help but move.
It was her, the woman she met by chance in Luoyue City, Yueling.
Listening to the moon, listening to the moon, and the moon spirit are really fate that is full of lies.
No wonder the eighth prince of Daxia died so simply. It turned out that she appeared for this matter at that time.
The bent bow naturally has no reason to take it back. In this cold wind, Ning Chen's eyes were so cold that they were terrifying.
As Fan Lingyue said, she is very similar to Ning Chen, and there is an extremely ruthless heart hidden under her calm appearance.
The mutual appreciation and even the conversation between them can't stop the two from killing each other.
The arrows in the cold wind passed by like a meteor, and the silver light was so dazzling in the night sky. However, before we could react, the arrow light had already arrived in front of us.
However, this stunning arrow was caught by one hand, and the young general appeared in front of Fan Lingyue, covering the sky with one hand, blocking the ruthless arrow.
"Sister Qingning, let's go," Ning Chen said softly.
"Yeah" Qingning replied.
The two got on the carriage and left quickly. Soon after, they disappeared into the darkness again.
In front of the Northern Mongolian military camp, the young general looked at the direction of the arrow light flying and frowned. He didn't understand who was going to assassinate the military advisor.
"He is Ning Chen"
Fan Lingyue said lightly, then turned around and walked towards the tent, but unexpectedly they met.
"What a pity for those three thousand light riders"
Fan Lingyue knew that the attack on the camp had failed. She once said that they were very similar, not only ruthless, but also scheming. The old general in the Daxia military camp was a mediocre talent, but Ning Chen was not. On the contrary, he was not only not mediocre talent, but also a very smart person.
In the dark night, a vague shadow passed by the galloping carriage. Ning Chen sat in the carriage, his face slightly pale. The arrow just now was too burdened by him at this moment.
He was prepared for not being able to kill Fan Lingyue, but he still wanted to say something now.
Fucking genius!
The young general was obviously not much older than him, but at least he was at the peak of the ninth grade. When was there many geniuses in this world?
He worked hard for so long, and there were still masters around him who were guiding him, and he even lacked innateness. However, after practicing, he returned to the fourth and fifth grades.
Destiny is really fucking unfair.
When the two returned to the military camp, the battle was over. The three thousand light cavalry were basically shot into hornet's nests by bows and arrows. Even if one or two hundred people escaped in the dark, they could not change anything.
Changsun frowned when he saw the two of them coming back in a carriage and said, "What have you done?"
Ning Chen got off the carriage and said honestly, "Go to say hello to the military advisor of the Beimeng Royal Court."
Qingning nodded aside, saying that it was indeed the case.
Changsun didn't ask anything more and snorted: "Don't mess around like this again in the future."
Ning Chen and Qingning looked at each other and then separated again tacitly. It seemed that Changsun was in a good mood, so he didn't ask too much, let alone scold him.
Sanqian Qingqin brought nothing on his body, and the horses and light armor were dead, bad, and there was no easy way to recycle them. However, this was a victory no matter what, which made most of the soldiers who were awakened in the middle of the night excited.
It turned out that the Empress had already come to Beimeng to attack the camp, and for a moment, the voice of Thousand Years spread throughout the Daxia military camp.
Changsun accepted it calmly, and after encouraging the morale of the soldiers, he returned to the tent to rest with a hint of relief.
Ning Chen wanted to shout, that's what I guessed, I guessed!
Unfortunately, he dared not.
The soldiers of Daxia need a hero who steps on colorful auspicious clouds to appear. Obviously, the Empress, who has a very high reputation in Daxia, is the most suitable candidate, and she deserves the role of the daughter of the family and the eldest grandson.
Ning Chen also returned to the account to rest. He was the most tiring person tonight. That arrow consumed all his energy and was not successful in the end.
Fan Lingyue must be pulled out from the young general beside her. This is Ning Chenlei's last thought before losing consciousness.
The next day, Qing Ning, who had not seen Ning Chen for a long time, came directly to the tent. He was about to pull him out of the bed, but he felt something was wrong. When he touched the former's forehead, he was shocked.
Too hot!
The medical officer in the army arrived soon and after taking Ning Chen's pulse, his face looked extremely ugly.
This pulse is even more chaotic than that of Wu Hou.
After hearing the news, Changsun rushed over and saw Ning Chen's face flushed even tighter.
"What's going on last night?" Changsun asked angry.
When the medical officer saw the queen getting angry, he looked even more nervous and hurriedly said, "Report to the queen, this is caused by the wind and cold."
"Wind-cold! How could he get wind-cold!" Changsun became even more angry, and under worries, he completely lost his virtuous appearance as a mother in the world.
"This" medical officer couldn't tell why. He had no idea about the boy in front of him, only knowing that the latter was very trusted by the queen and kept by his side.
"Empress" Qingning stepped forward and said a few words in Changsun's ear.
"Nonsense!" Changsun was furious after hearing this and shouted, "He is ignorant, are you still ignorant? How can you accompany him to make trouble!"
She didn't ask much last night, thinking that the two of them hadn't gone to the North Mongolian military camp to look around. Who would have thought that these two men would be brave enough to assassinate the military advisor? Not to mention the kid's body, it was not easy to stay awake. Can't he let her worry less?
"Treat it, I will treat it to me. If I can't cure it, I will come to see me!" Changsun snorted angrily and said.
"Yes," the medical officer replied tremblingly, and then hurried out to prepare medicinal materials and hot water.
Three hours later, Ning Chen woke up once, looked at Changsun beside him, said only a few words, and fainted again.
"Empress, no matter what, you must not be able to defend yourself. In addition, I wrote to the old marquis and asked him to lead his troops to intercept the food and grass in Beimeng from behind. The number of people is not too large, 50,000 is enough."
"Also, if Lingyue really uses cavalry to attack, the empress will leave the 30,000 cavalry in the camp. Daxia can fight and consume it. It is worth it to exchange for 30,000 for 20,000."
"In addition, even if all 150,000 people were killed in battle, they could not retreat. The defeat was like a mountain. She had 100,000 cavalry, and we could not retreat."
Even though he was seriously ill, Ning Chen's words were still calm, ruthless and terrible. In one sentence, he gave up the lives of the 30,000 cavalry and even the entire battalion soldiers in the camp.
"You have a good rest, wait for you to talk about other things." Changsun couldn't bear it, and did not agree or refuse, but comforted softly.
Ning Chen smiled weakly and fell into a coma again before he could answer.
Qingning was a little chilled when she listened again. This was the first time she had seen Ning Chen's ruthless side.
"Does he feel like he has become a different person?" Changsun did not look back and guessed what Qingning was thinking.
"Yeah, I'm not used to it," Qingning replied honestly.
"The weaker a person is, the less he will hide himself. Ning Chen is not a passionate person. Everything he shows shyness or even harmlessness is for others to watch. The longer he comes into contact with, the more you can feel his coldness from the bones."
After the words came, Changsun sighed lightly and continued, "In the entire army, as long as you and me don't have any trouble, I'm afraid even if everyone else dies, he will only sigh with sadness when he touches the scene and then turn around and will not take it to heart."
"I am getting more and more fortunate. When I first met in the palace, I dragged him into the Weiyang Palace. Otherwise, if such a person becomes an enemy of Daxia, a second military advisor will appear in the world."
Qingning became more and more frightened when she heard Changsun's words. She never thought that Ning Chen, who was so arrogant in front of her and the Empress, would be someone who made the Empress look so high and even scared.
"Empress, Ning Chen will not be unfavorable to Daxia." Qingning couldn't help but say something. She could not help but defend herself by hearing the fear in the empress's tone.
"Haha" Changsun chuckled softly and said, "Don't worry, I have no other intentions. Although he is ruthless, he also cares about the rare feelings in his heart. I have never thought that he would betray Daxia. Of course, the premise is that you and I are still alive."
(ps: The power outage at home. I finally found an Internet cafe that can generate electricity by myself. I will quickly add a chapter. Which of the following chapters is probably around 12 o'clock in the evening. If you can't wait, keep it for tomorrow to read them. Finally, the old rules are yelling, asking for red tickets, collecting, and reward!!!)
Chapter completed!
