The news brought back by the scouts was that an elite force of more than 500 people had indeed arrived at the Jin army camp at noon, but as to whether it was the leader of the Jin Kingdom, the scouts said they were too far away to see clearly, but many Jin soldiers were. So said.
As the saying goes, it is better to believe that something exists than to believe something does not exist. There is no smoke without smoke in many things, so Guan Cheng would not dare to be careless.
If Liu Jie really came, the situation would have completely changed.
Guan Cheng hurriedly sent out messengers to contact various places according to the pre-agreed marks, and moved towards the originally agreed place overnight.
The mountain road was difficult to navigate, and it was even more difficult at night. In order to ensure that he would not be discovered, Guan Cheng did not dare to light a torch.
Dozens of people were panting from exhaustion, really just climbing the mountain.
When Guan Cheng finally arrived with dozens of people, Wu Chengju had been waiting here for nearly two hours.
"Your Highness."
Guan Cheng wiped the sweat off his face and asked, "How is it? How many people are here?"
"Your Highness, there are already more than 600 people here."
Guan Chengcheng took the water hyacinth passed by his entourage and drank a few gulps before asking: "Where is Wang Ye?"
"I just found a group of golden soldiers, more than thirty of them. Captain Wang took people to clean them up. I think they will be back soon."
Guan Cheng nodded and asked, "How are Ling'er and the others doing?"
"It's already thirty miles away. Cao Buyi and Niu Cheng each brought an escort to escort them, and General Mo gave in and Bu Wang led his men to catch up. As long as they don't encounter a large group of golden soldiers, they will be enough to deal with it."
Guan Cheng nodded with satisfaction and then found a place to sit down.
Perhaps he was so tired that before he sat down for a cup of tea, Guan Cheng fell asleep leaning against a big tree. Many Jin soldiers snored together, and some of them had water bags in their hands. Haven't even put the lid on yet.
The humidity in the forest in the early morning was still a bit heavy, and the birds had already woken up and were hovering in the trees after breakfast. They looked at the strange creatures below and chirped lullabies in the soldiers' ears.
Wu Chengju stood next to Guan Cheng to personally protect him. He quickly fell into a deep sleep with a trace of saliva flowing out. His even breathing and steady snoring reached Wu Chengju's ears, which made him feel slightly distressed.
My eyes are a little sore. After all, it’s because I’m older and I’m a little emotional about everything.
Wu Chengju became famous as a young boy, traveled to various countries, and drank the blood of thousands of people with the long sword in his hand. Later, during a chase, he was rescued by Guan Ze who was out hunting. From then on, Wu Chengju became the little leader of the Royal Guards.
At that time, Guanze had just ascended the throne and was in high spirits. He discovered that Wu Chengju was quite brave.
Wu Chengju was also a little tired of the knight's wandering, so he put on the armor.
It's just that Datong's decline has been unstoppable, and Wu Chengju's armor has not brought him more glory.
Later, Wu Chengju was sent to Guan Cheng's side and was promoted to Sima of the East Palace Guards.
Wu Chengju had no doubt that he was the most aggrieved Sima of the Eastern Palace Guards in Datong for hundreds of years.
Because Guan Cheng himself is the most aggrieved prince.
Wu Chengju has followed Guan Cheng since he was five years old. He saw with his own eyes that the eyes of the young man in front of him were innocent but extremely sensible. Now Wu Chengju is fifty years old.
As a prince, he has an honorable status, but the hierarchy in Yong'an City is just about face.
As the crown prince, Guan Cheng may be better off than ordinary children from wealthy families.
But Wu Chengju never saw the grievance or decadence in Guan Cheng. He seemed to be born with an understanding of his destiny.
I personally went to the fields to hoe the fields to collect grain, and sat on the field and laughed together with the common people eating the same food. Many times at night, I would squeeze into the Datongbu with the soldiers, and practice with the big-headed soldiers. I would often fall to my face with bruises and bruises. Injured several times.
Wu Chengju couldn't figure out why a child had such a clear and firm goal. Did he really understand it at that time?
Maybe God also felt that Datong should not sink like this, so did a unicorn descend from the sky?
Wu Chengju's thoughts drifted a little far, until a sound came that brought him back to reality.
Guan Cheng also woke up when he heard it, covered his mouth with his hand, yawned, rubbed his eyes and asked, "What's the sound?"
Wu Chengju looked around and said, "Your Highness, it's Wang Ye who's back." After that, he looked back and said, "It seems that he met other brothers who came back together."
After hearing this, Guan Cheng stood up, shook his head to drive away his sleepiness, and said, "Let's go and have a look."
Wang Ye was walking at the front of the team. There were at least two hundred people there. Everyone looked tired but they were talking and laughing. Guan Cheng noticed that many people had heads tied around their waists. Some of them had their heads tied around their waists. There are more than one.
Guan Cheng smiled and said to Wu Chengju: "It seems that the brothers have gained a lot."
"Yes, in the past few days, the brothers have been playing happily, just like a cat playing with a mouse. The soldiers all said that they can come up with such ideas. Even if His Highness is not a martial arts god, he is still a martial arts star."
Guan Cheng smiled slightly and said: "It seems that if I don't lead you to make a bright future, I won't be able to live up to the trust of the soldiers."
While the two were talking, Wang Ye had strode up to him and bowed his head, saying, "Your Highness, I am fortunate to have lived up to my command."
Guan Cheng also went up to him, helped Wang Ye up and said, "I haven't seen you for only three days, but your power is already even greater."
Wang Ye said: "It all depends on His Highness's strategy. I am just using my strength. I don't deserve Your Highness's praise."
After saying this, Wang Yechao said, "Bring the things up."
Several soldiers came forward holding several flags and threw them to the ground.
"Your Highness, I was lucky enough to get three company flags in the past two days." He took off two heads from his waist and said, "The formation killed two enemy company commanders and one hundred and sixty soldiers."
"Brothers, show your trophies to His Highness!"
Following Wang Ye's roar, the soldiers at the rear raised their weapons high and they were of different heights, but each sword and each spear had a ferocious head on it.
This kind of scene can easily scare some timid people to death in the forest, but Guan Cheng looked sure. The Jin soldiers behind him didn't know who took the lead in shouting a mighty one, and soon there was an overwhelming wave. The collective sense of honor was stimulated at this moment for a long time.
Guan Cheng and Wu Chengju looked at each other, the satisfaction in their eyes couldn't be concealed, the military spirit is available!
Guan Cheng has always had a bold but vague idea in his mind. He felt that there was a thick layer of fog hanging in front of his eyes. Now with the shouts, the fog seemed to be shaken away, as if victory was as clear as before his eyes.
Some soldiers set up a temporary military tent. There were no tables, no food or drinks, and no guards. There was just a map hanging in the middle, which marked the counties, mountains, rivers and counties of the Jin Kingdom. In front of the map was Guan Cheng and Wu Chengju Wang Ye.
"What?"
Suddenly Wang Ye's shocked cry came out but quickly became quiet.
Wang Ye, who realized that he was a little rude, still had a look on his face, and said with some trembling: "Is it necessary for Your Highness to do this? Isn't it too risky? I think..."
Guan Chengyi raised his hand to interrupt Wang Ye's advice and said: "You don't have to think about it, you have to think about it yourself. If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. You two only need to consider how to do it now, not whether it can be done!" "
