Upon hearing this, Cheng Yun felt that Su Rong was right and breathed a sigh of relief.
Lieutenant General Feng Sheng is not a pedantic person who does not know how to adapt. Nangong Zheng has 300,000 soldiers and horses, but he only brings 40,000 soldiers and horses. It is impossible to win. The only way to withdraw and flee is to be wise. He should not It would be foolish to stick to it.
After all, they are soldiers who have been trained privately by the king for five years. They cannot fail to win, otherwise wouldn't it be a joke?
Wan Niang asked Su Rong, "Master, did Mr. Xie fall into Nangong Zheng's hands in the end?"
Su Rong nodded, looked at her and said: "Nangong Yun and Nangong Zhuo fell into my hands. Nangong Zheng should not kill Uncle Xie, especially now that there are so many people from the Nangong family in hand. Although we have few troops now, , but it’s not like we don’t have any trump cards to confront Nangong Zheng.”
Wan Niang breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, we have so many people from the Nangong family in our hands, so we are not afraid of Nangong Zheng."
Fengling asked at this time, "Sister, should we continue on our way, or should we wait here for Nangong Zheng?"
Su Rong said calmly: "Our soldiers can no longer hold on any longer. They are repairing on the spot and waiting for Nangong Zheng here."
Cheng Yun glanced at everyone in the Nangong family who was tied up, and was a little worried, "What if Nangong Zheng really risked his life? The princess is precious, so we must not bet on this possibility. I suggest that the princess and a small number of people leave first, I Let the Nangong family stay here to confront Nangong Zheng."
"No, Ye Guixue and Nangong Yun fought a few battles in Fengming Mountain. Nangong Yun suddenly retreated. Ye Guixue couldn't help but pursue me. And after I left Wanren Mountain, Zhou Gu and Zhang Yun wouldn't be in Wanren Mountain either. If they stay in the mountains for too long, they will join Ye Guixue. In this way, the two armies will merge and chase Nangong Yun. Now, we have captured Nangong Yun and have followed his path. We have traveled a hundred miles, and I estimate that the troops they brought will be here soon." Su Rong said, "We have reinforcements, even if they are less than 100,000 and not as many as Nangong Zheng, we don't have to be very afraid of Nangong Zheng's 300,000 soldiers. horse."
After all, she still has the troops and horses she borrowed from Daliang, led by Zhang Mao and Ning Ze, who will also be here.
When Cheng Yun heard this, he felt relieved, "If it is true as the princess said, then I am indeed overly worried."
Therefore, the team repaired on the spot and waited for Nangong Zheng's arrival. At the same time, Fei Ling ordered people to go to the rear to find out whether Ye Guixue and the reinforcements were not far away, and made two preparations.
It's a twenty-mile journey and can be reached in no time.
Therefore, when Nangong Zheng arrived with 300,000 soldiers and horses, and tied up Xie Yuan, he saw Su Rong with 60,000 soldiers and horses in a neat formation. The soldiers in the front row were carrying swords, and the swords were resting on their necks. , kidnapped everyone in the Nangong family.
The gray-haired old lady of the Nangong family, the pale-faced Madam Wan'anhou, as well as Nangong Yun, Nangong Zhuo, and Nangong Zheng's other uncles, brothers and sisters.
Nangong Zheng's expression changed, his still somewhat immature face tensed up, and veins appeared in the hand holding the horse's reins.
Su Rong was not in the team, but was sitting on a rock on the hillside not far away, roasting rabbits. After traveling for so long, the soldiers were all eating dry food, but she had no appetite at all. She was worried about Xie Yuan and had already eaten in her stomach. After a day without food, now that everyone in the Nangong family was in hand, she also had a trump card. When she got into a mood, she suddenly felt very hungry, so she waited for Nangong Zheng to arrive and had someone catch a rabbit to roast.
With Wan Niang here, she naturally doesn't have to do it herself. Wan Niang stays with her and bakes it for her.
The aroma of roasted rabbit spreads throughout the mountains and is very arousing people's appetite.
The soldiers swallowed secretly, thinking that when the princess rescued Mr. Xie, they would also catch rabbits and roast them. Anyway, the mountains of Nanchu were densely forested and rabbits were abundant, and there were many rabbits.
Twenty miles was enough for Wan Niang to roast the rabbit for Su Rong, so when Nangong Zheng arrived with 300,000 soldiers and horses, Su Rong was holding half of the rabbit in his hand and gnawing on it.
She sat casually and ate casually. Facing the surging army of 300,000 people, she remained calm and calm, her expression unchanged, and she even ate with relish.
This was the most appetizing and edible meal she had eaten in such a long time.
Nangong Zheng pursed his lips tightly and stared at the Nangong family members who were tied up with big knives on their necks for a moment, then looked away and finally looked at Su Rong amidst the smell of barbecue.
Su Rong also raised his eyes at this time, eating roast rabbit while looking at Nangong Zheng.
The young man's back is straight, his face is handsome, and his aura is calm, which blends with his immature appearance to form a unique temperament.
Su Rong sat up slightly, thinking that this was an opponent. If he was not two years younger, and she came to Nanchu two years later, the current Nangong family would definitely not be defeated like this. In other words, if Uncle Xie had not killed Nangong Yin, the Nangong family would not have been demoralized, disorganized, and defeated, allowing her to use the Nangong family as leverage and trump cards.
Nangong Zheng's eyes fixed on Su Rong for a moment, then fell on the roast rabbit she was eating in her hand. He paused for another moment, and then said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty, don't run away. You are waiting for me here specifically to get my family." , in exchange for Xie Yuan?"
Su Rong nodded and answered him, "Yes, so, do you want to change?"
"What if I say not to change? With my 300,000 soldiers and horses, it is easy to kill people like the princess. If the entire Nangong family can die with the princess, they will die a worthy death." Nangong Zheng said coldly.
Su Rong nodded, "That's the truth. After all, I'm quite valuable."
Nangong Zheng narrowed his eyes, "Since the princess feels the same way, then..."
"Then you kill Xie Yuan and I'll kill the Nangong family, and then you and I will fight each other to see if you can kill me in the end." Su Rong took over his words, "Use Xie Yuan in exchange for the death of everyone in the Nangong family. Fate, I think he felt straight too.”
Nangong Zheng was snatched away by Su Rong. He was silent for a moment, his eyes cold, "The princess still has a trump card, are there reinforcements behind you?"
Otherwise, he didn't think Su Rong would dare to stay here and wait for him. Although the lives of everyone in the Nangong family were important, the teachings Nangong Zheng had received since he was a child told him that even if all the family's efforts and lives were taken, as long as Whatever he thinks is worthwhile, nothing is impossible.
In his opinion, Su Rong was worth the lives of everyone in the Nangong family, even if this life included his great-grandmother, grandmother, uncles, brothers and sisters.
Su Rong smiled at him, "Yes, otherwise how could I dare to wait for you here? After all, I don't dare to underestimate the Nangong family's upbringing."
Nangong Zheng stared at her, "Even if reinforcements come, I guess they will only be a mere 100,000 soldiers and horses. My soldiers and horses are twice as many as the princess."
Su Rong nodded, "But I still have soldiers and horses. I borrowed 300,000 troops from Daliang. In the rear area, they will not come too fast, but they will not be slow either. Maybe after you and I take action, they will also We can get there.”
She threw the leftover rabbit bones into the fire, and there was a sudden roar in the fire. She wiped her hands with a handkerchief, stood up, and asked with a smile: "So, Nangong Zheng, do you dare to make a bet?" Really? Use your 300,000 soldiers and horses, and the lives of all your closest relatives in the Nangong family, to gamble that you can kill me."
I know my dears, I have been counting the days. Yesterday it was indeed half a month, but I haven’t finished my work yet. Now I am tired and sleepy. I am very tired. I wrote the last update in the middle of the night. Give me a few more days and let me relax. Wait, let’s resume the second update on August 5th, thank you for your hard work~
