The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 996: Axillary trouble
Chapter 996: Troubles in the Armpits
“Cough, cough, cough…” Yun Poxing coughed anxiously, “Such a fierce method may backfire in the future! Cough, cough, cough!”
“My great general!” The Xiliang Empress turned to look at Yun Poxing, her voice indifferent, her brows deep, her eyes full of desolation, “If this continues, will Xiliang still have a future? As long as Xiliang can survive, no matter how it backfires in the future, even if it sends me to hell… I can be considered worthy of the Xiliang subjects, worthy of my father, and worthy of my ancestors!”
The Queen of Xiliang no longer hesitated and ordered all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau to go to Shou’an Palace. The Queen Mother was seriously ill… She asked the Zhai family, one of the eight major families from the Queen Mother’s mother’s family, to enter the palace as soon as possible.
The Queen of Xiliang knew that if the Queen Mother died, the Zhai family would enter the palace one after another, and the eight major families would certainly follow them into the palace to visit.
She has already ordered that the news of Princess Pingyang’s capture must not be spread. As long as someone from the eight major families enters the palace… they can forget about leaving.
Yun Poxing said nothing. He had never been so frightened before…
In Xiliang, which is now in turmoil, a new storm is brewing in the capital Yunjing. The empress, who has been committed to implementing new policies for several years since she ascended the throne, is finally going to take action to deal with the threat at her side.
·
Yun Poxing’s second son, Yun Lingzhi, received an order from the palace. He led his men to the palace gate on horseback and asked Xiao Ruohai and others to follow him to the Huoyun Army camp.
Yun Lingzhi guessed that his father dared to let him lead the envoys of the Great Zhou to the Huoyun Army camp, so he must have been prepared. He only needed to slow down the time a little and take them on a detour to give the camp enough time to take Yun Lan away.
The guards from the Bai family that Xiao Ruohai brought with him were the brothers who withdrew from the Tiger Eagle Camp after being injured. As long as they walked around the Fire Cloud Army, anyone from the Bai family army would definitely recognize them.
After all, the Tiger Eagle Battalion is the sharpest blade of the Bai Family Army, and there are only so many of them…
If the one who trains the Tiger Eagle Camp is the young general of the Bai family, then it goes without saying that everyone must know him.
Xiao Ruohai led his men on horseback and followed Yun Lingzhi all the way to the Huoyun Army camp. When they reached the fork in the mountain road, they saw that Yun Lingzhi seemed to want to take them on a detour, so Xiao Ruohai reined in his horses.
Yun Lingzhi turned his horse around, smiled and bowed to Xiao Ruohai: “Are you tired and want to take a rest, sir?”
“It’s not that I’m tired…” Xiao Ruohai’s lips curled up into a faint smile, and he pointed to the road on the far right with the black gold whip in his hand, “Master Yun may have taken the wrong road. It’s closer to go this way.”
Yun Lingzhi’s heart was filled with alarm. He had only received an order from his father to take the envoys from the Great Zhou to the Huoyun Army camp, but he didn’t know… the people from the Great Zhou had already figured out the location of the Huoyun Army.
Yun Lingzhi’s heart skipped a beat, wondering if this person from the Great Zhou had already discovered Yun Lan’s identity.
His original idea was to lead the people from the Great Zhou to this most dangerous road. If one or two of the people sent by the Great Zhou accidentally fell to their deaths, there would be fewer people who could find them in the Fire Cloud Army camp. By night… it would be even harder to find anyone. Unexpectedly, the people from the Great Zhou actually knew the way, and he couldn’t help feeling a little panicked.
Xiliang couldn’t afford to offend Dazhou now. If the people of Dazhou had already grasped the location of the Fire Cloud Army camp and knew Yun Lan’s identity, wouldn’t it bring trouble to Xiliang if they couldn’t find Yun Lan today? !
Yun Lingzhi was worried, but he didn’t show it on his face. He smiled and said, “Although this road is short, it is a bit rugged, especially one road with a cliff on one side, which is a bit dangerous. Although this road is a bit roundabout… it is a little smoother! It’s also my fault that I didn’t explain it to you in advance. According to your opinion… which road is suitable?”
Xiao Ruohai had achieved his goal of beating Yun Lingzhi, so he stopped insisting and said, “Then I’ll listen to Master Yun. Master Yun, please lead the way!”
Yun Lingzhi responded with a smile, pulled the reins, turned the horse’s head and led the way, his hands pulling the reins were sweaty.
Once you enter the path lined with tall trees, the dense green branches and vines block out the sun, and it seems to have no end. Occasionally, points of golden light pass through the gaps, falling on the dim and chilly path.
Following Ling Yunzhi on horseback, they saw the light at the entrance of the forest path growing brighter and brighter in the distance, but Yun Lingzhi’s horse slowed down instead.
When we came out of the forest path, we saw a bright golden light, so dazzling that it was impossible to open our eyes. The lush green forest path was left behind, and the road ahead became narrower… and very steep. The horses walked very carefully, but they still slipped, and the crackling gravel rolled down the cliff, which was very scary.
Xiao Ruohai stared at Yun Lingzhi’s back, then turned his gaze to observe the surrounding environment. This mountain, with its steep cliffs, was indeed a good place to train the Tiger Eagle Battalion.
He quietly drew a map of Xiliang’s Luoxia Mountain in his mind, in case he really went to war with Xiliang in the future. Perhaps it would be useful, no… it would definitely be useful.
After walking for about an incense stick on the cliff, we saw signs that the narrow road ahead was widening. The horses and people were sweating profusely and had dry mouths due to the scorching sun.
When they reached the wide road, the people from the Great Zhou did not fall, which was beyond Ling Yunzhi’s expectation. In order to delay time, he slowed down and walked parallel to Xiao Ruohai: “Sir, do you want to take a rest?”
“We’d better hurry to the Fire Cloud Army camp! If Lord Yun is tired… you can rest here.” Xiao Ruohai has already figured out the terrain here. “It’s not like I don’t know the way either. Lord Yun, give the token to the people below, and we can go there.”
Yun Lingzhi could only smile and said, “No, I’m just worried that the masters of the Great Zhou are tired. Since the masters are not tired, then we should speed up and try to arrive before the sun sets.”
“Please…” Xiao Ruohai made a gesture of invitation.
Yun Lingzhi had no choice but to lead the way. Not long after, a secret sentry from the Fire Cloud Army hiding in a hidden place blocked Yun Lingzhi’s way. Yun Lingzhi showed his token, and the group was able to pass.
There were six checkpoints along the way. After passing the sixth checkpoint, we could finally hear the shouts of training in the military camp.
Walking out of the deep forest downhill, the military camp suddenly appeared in front of him. Xiao Ruohai saw the area opposite the military camp that was turned fiery red by the afterglow of the setting sun… On the cliff that looked like a burning flame, hundreds of soldiers swooped down from the cliff with the help of ropes. They were densely packed. One group of soldiers rushed down, and the second group immediately swooped down from the cliff. Their speed was as fast as an eagle swooping down on its prey, and it was so fierce that it was shocking.
This… is undoubtedly the Tiger Eagle Battalion of the Bai Family Army!
“Lord Xiao!” The Bai family guard who used to be a member of the Tiger Eagle Camp drew his reins and stepped forward, his blood boiling. He stared at Xiao Ruohai, wishing he could rush in right now to see if any general of their Tiger Eagle Camp was still alive!
“I don’t know, what is the name of the general who trained the Fire Cloud Army?”
