Looking at the current scene, Fang Zilan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. General Shangguan brought only three thousand people, and there were not many left after a fierce battle. In addition, the people of King Xiang were dead and injured, and the only people who could be used now were I'm afraid it won't be more than a few hundred, but King Xiang can still say it calmly and calmly, which is really graceful.
Fang Zilan curled her lips, and then remembered that she shouldn't be the one watching the show now. It would have been very difficult for Prince Xiang to hold on for another three days in this situation, and coupled with General Shangguan, who had no good intentions, I'm afraid it's difficult to last even a day now.
Is this the hard mode selected? Fang Zilan couldn't help but cursed, but now we are not playing games. We can't re-elect and we have to play. Now that we finally see that King Xiang is fine, we can find ways to protect him. Anyway, it should only take three or two days.
Fang Zilan was thinking about it when she heard King Xiang say that the Jin people saw the reinforcements arriving and were afraid that they would not be able to hold back and would attack soon. What? Hearing this, Fang Zilan was shocked again, are you kidding me? She had just fought tooth and nail through a fierce battle, and was about to fight again?
Although she thought so, she knew that what King Xiang said was very likely to happen. Now that there were not many reinforcements, the Jin people were still sure to destroy them. If a large number of reinforcements arrived, I was afraid they would have to retreat back to northern Xinjiang.
The Jin people just wanted to plunder some supplies when they went south. They would not really have trouble with the Dajing court. Now that they can't get any benefits, they will naturally go back. But since we have to go back no matter what, it is better to kill King Xiang so that we can destroy the prestige of Dajing and have more confidence when we come back next time.
Fang Zilan had just sorted out her thoughts when she heard General Shangguan over there say with great pride that we might as well fight to the death to still have a glimmer of hope. A glimmer of hope? Fang Zilan couldn't help but sneer, he clearly wanted Prince Xiang to die. With their current military strength, a head-on confrontation with the Jin would be like hitting a stone with an egg.
"General Shangguan, don't be impulsive. Even if the Jin people can't hold back, they won't attack rashly. The terrain of the Wind River Valley is complex, and they already suffered a loss last time." King Xiang said calmly: "I won't move if the enemy doesn't move. We All we have to do now is wait.”
"Wait?" General Shangguan was obviously stunned for a moment, "What do you mean, Your Highness?" "If my guess is correct, the Pingshan Army from Pingshan City and the Yanlin Army from Yanzhou should be on their way to Yanzhou now, within three days. By the end of the day, reinforcements will arrive. By then the Jin people will no longer be wary, and the siege of the Wind River Valley will naturally be lifted."
"This..." General Shangguan wanted to say something more, but King Xiang asked in return: "The Shangguan family comes from a military background. I'm afraid General Shangguan has already noticed this, right?"
Fang Zilan looked at the two people not far away, and suddenly felt a little shuddering. This Prince Xiang is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp. He hides a knife in his smile and kills people without seeing the blood. In a few words, he rejected General Shangguan's idea and gave him the chance to step down. This Shangguan The general probably won't get much from him.
Prince Xiang Li Shengxuan, you must live. Fang Zilan prayed secretly in her heart. She knew very well that if Li Shengxuan died, she would not survive. The killer who could not complete the task would only die.
"Report!" A soldier covered in blood ran in front of everyone, his breath was scattered, and his voice was full of panic, "The Jin Man is here." As soon as he said this, everyone looked solemn, and for a moment, the air was filled with A tense atmosphere.
At this time, the troops brought by General Shangguan had just experienced a fierce battle and had no strength to fight again. The situation on King Xiang's side was not much better either, with many wounded soldiers. They cannot and cannot afford to fight this battle.
Fang Zilan felt like she was sweating again and again, and her inner uneasiness was getting more and more uneasy, but if she really couldn't escape, she would have no choice but to fight to the death.
"Your Highness?" General Shangguan asked cautiously. The expression on King Xiang's face remained unchanged, and he said coldly: "For today's plan, we can't fight with the Jin people head-on. How about..." Fang Zilan originally thought that King Xiang was planning to set up an ambush. , who knew that King Xiang was more strategic than she expected, and actually started the empty city strategy.
It seems that no matter which world it is, the strategies are universal. Fang Zilan can't help but feel a lot more at ease, but she remembers that the success of the empty city strategy lies in knowing yourself and the enemy, and to some extent it is a political game. In this case, General Shangguan will obediently Are you watching King Xiang perform the empty city plan?
Everything went smoothly. The people under King Xiang quickly arranged the scene. The entire camp was quiet and empty as if there was no one there. The open space was meticulously tidied, and there was no trace of fighting at all. Soon the sound of horse hooves sounded, and the golden man arrived.
Fang Zilan hid in the dark, observing the enemy troops and paying attention to King Xiang not far away. The general led by the Jin people seemed to be a wise man. He did not act rashly, but hesitated, as if he was afraid that it was a trap. However, after the deputy general beside him murmured a few words to him, the Jin general gave the order.
He wanted to attack with fire. Fang Zilan was shocked and looked in the direction of King Xiang. However, he heard General Shangguan yelling at King Xiang to be careful. The next moment, the Jinren's rocket was already in front of him.
Fang Zilan didn't know what she had done. By the time she reacted, she had already taken Prince Xiang and hid behind a tent.
"Your Highness, please go first and hide in the mountains for a few days. When the reinforcements arrive, they will protect Your Highness." Fang Zilan said to Prince Xiang behind him while observing the situation outside.
As she expected, General Shangguan was here to cause trouble, because he said that the Jin people's attention was all on King Xiang, and now the only choice is to let King Xiang enter the mountain. Although the mountain is not very safe, it is better than staying here. .
"Who are you?" King Xiang frowned slightly. He had known for a long time that Shangguan Yun had no good intentions and was already scheming in his heart. However, he did not expect that the situation would take a turn for the worse and that he would be saved by such an inconspicuous soldier after a narrow escape.
Moreover, this soldier's skills were astonishing. He thought he couldn't dodge the arrow, but he didn't expect that this soldier could knock down the arrow and push him away at the same time. His movements were done in one go and it was incredibly fast.
"Your Majesty, Prince Xiang, don't worry about this." Fang Zilan looked back at Prince Xiang with a gloomy expression. She was sure that Prince Xiang would hide in the mountains, but she was not sure that she could escape unscathed. "You come with me." Before Fang Zilan realized what was going on, he was dragged away by Prince Xiang.
What's happening here? Fang Zilan was full of questions, shouldn't she be the one to save King Xiang? Why did Prince Xiang save her now? And judging from King Xiang's understanding of the terrain in the mountain, he might have already made plans to enter the mountain.
"Since His Highness had already planned it, why did he resort to such an empty city plan?" Fang Zilan already had the answer in her heart, but she always felt that something was wrong.
"It's just to cooperate with Shangguan Yun and use the trick." Prince Xiang's expression was still indifferent, as if he was talking about an unrelated matter. "Then your Highness, aren't you afraid that I just deliberately sacrificed my life to save you, but actually I wanted to take the opportunity to kill you?"
"Isn't that unnecessary?" King Xiang stopped and looked back at Fang Zilan, "If you hadn't taken action, I would have died. What's more, you are not sure of escaping unscathed, and now you are injured, let alone absolute. The certainty will cost me my life, won’t it?”
Injured? Fang Zilan was slightly startled. Why didn't she feel it at all? It's just that the sticky feeling behind her has been making her uncomfortable since the beginning. Subconsciously, she reached out and touched it, but Fang Zilan's expression changed, and it turned out to be blood.
"Didn't you realize you were injured?" Prince Xiang frowned slightly. He had been observing the man who saved him. He was clearly injured but kept silent. Judging from his reaction now, he didn't seem to realize he was injured. .
how come? Fang Zilan looked at the blood on her hands. Even if the injury was not serious, she should have felt it. But why didn't she feel it at all, as if she couldn't feel the pain at all? She clearly felt the pain when the poison took effect that day, but now...
"You..." Fang Zilan heard Prince Xiang's voice, but couldn't hear clearly what he was saying. There is a shadow in my mind that I can't see clearly, but I can't get rid of it. Because of you, I ended up like this.
What's going on here? Fang Zilan looked at the blood on her hands and felt indescribably sad. The deep sadness made her breathless. Fang Zilan squatted down suddenly, gasping for air and clenching her fists.
"Are you okay?" The voice in her ears was still there, but it couldn't pull her out. She couldn't feel anything except fear and uneasiness. "I'm scared..." Fang Zilan heard her own voice, she was saying that she was scared.
"If possible, please believe me." Without ridicule or disgust, she heard King Xiang's voice, saying that nothing would happen to us.
Perhaps the owner of this body had been accustomed to indifference since childhood, and she could not feel any warmth from Fang Zilan's body. Ever since she traveled here, she had always felt anxious and worried, but now, because of this man's words, she felt inexplicably relieved. Even if it means drinking poison to quench her thirst, she doesn't care.
This Fang Zilan has too many secrets and too much past, which she doesn't want to bear but has to bear. But she lives in another world, but she is a completely different person.
In that world, she only liked warm things, so now she felt relieved when she heard this sentence. Even if he would put her in a desperate situation, she would not care. What she wanted at that time was just this sentence. Just words.
