48, empty city
Chu Ling's arrival made Cang Yun's army feel relieved. Everyone knows what the actions of the Northern Jin people these days are for, but General Xie insists on refusing to ask General Bai Xing, who is stationed in Cangyun City, and they have no choice but to pray with their hearts that General Xie's body can really hold on and not be exhausted.
Chu Ling was also a little confused about this. She did not think that Xie Tingze was the kind of person who ignored her and the safety of the entire army for the sake of face. "Is there any hidden secret in the old general?"
When there were only Xie Tingze and Chu Ling in the tent, Chu Ling asked this question just now. In the morning, Yun Xingyue hurried to the army and took a look at Xie Tingze's pulse. Xie Tingze is indeed old and has been confronting Tuoba Yin like this these days, which will greatly damage his body and spirit.
Xie Tingze looked at Chu Ling, pondered for a moment before sighing softly, "The princess doesn't know anything, it's not that I'm stubborn and unrealistic, I don't know how to adapt. But... General Bai Xing is not in Cangyun City at all. Cangyun City is now..." Chu Ling was shocked and said, "Cangyun City is no longer stationed now?"
Although there shouldn't be anyone in the location of Cangyun City and the current situation of soldiers everywhere, there is no one to attack Cangyun City, it would be too bold. Jun Wuhuan and Shen Huai went to the border, and Jiang Jishi was in Xiqin. If Bai Xing was not there... "Where is Mingyao?!"
Xie Tingze was stunned and thought for a moment, saying, "Young Master Mingyao... I don't know where I went. I haven't seen anyone for two or three months. But I can be sure that I will no longer have Cangyun City."
Chu Ling didn't expect that this would be the case. That is to say, only Xie Tingze supports Cangyun City now, so it's no wonder he refused to ask for help. I'm afraid that Cangyun's army wouldn't know that Bai Xing was not in the city at all. If this news was leaked...
After calming down, Chu Ling asked, "How did Yan Ling arrange it when she left?" Xie Tingze said, "General Bai Xing took one step ahead of the city lord, but he only took half of the troops of Qinglong Camp, and the remaining half were still stationed in Cangyun City. City lord Yan said, he would return within one month." Chu Ling said, "So, the old general must stop Tuoba Yin for one month?"
Xie Tingze nodded and said, "I am old and can no longer bear to fight on the battlefield again. Otherwise, I could also take the place of Lord Yan to the border. Unfortunately..."
Chu Ling shook his head and said, "Don't say that in the old general. If it weren't for stopping Tuoba Yin and the others in Western Qin, it would be a good time. But... Now Baili Qinghong..." When talking about this disciple, Xie Tingze couldn't help but sigh and looked a little sad. Although Chu Ling was unwilling to poke his wound, he still had to remind him, "Baili Qinghong came for the old general this time, so please be careful with the old general. As for the matter in the army... Although I am not talented, I can still share one or two of them for the general."
Xie Tingze bowed and said, "Thank you, princess, I know what I know."
Chu Ling came out of the tent and saw Yun Xingyue lazily leaning against a wooden pole outside the tent to calm down. Hearing the footsteps, he opened his eyes and said, "Xiao Shi is here, I'll let him go and rest first." Xiao Shi rushed over all the way, and even with his high martial arts skills, it was still very hard. Chu Ling nodded and looked at Yun Xingyue curiously and said, "Young Master Yun, your famous doctor really doesn't have to follow me as a bodyguard all day long. It's too insignificant."
Yun Xingyue rolled her eyes at her and said angrily: "Do you think I want to follow you?" This princess is so beautiful that she is Jun Wuhuan's wife. She is not very good at speaking. Who wants to follow her?
Chu Ling raised his eyebrows and looked at him without saying a word. Yun Xingyue said, "Don't you follow you, will you let me follow Jun Wuhuan?" Chu Ling coughed helplessly and said, "I don't mean that, I mean Mr. Yun can do something else."
"Not interested." Yun Xingyue waved his hand and said, if he was interested in doing something else, he wouldn't have followed Chu Ling in the past few years. Although part of it was because of the junior sister, even for the junior sister, it wouldn't be necessary to follow His Royal Highness the Princess. Isn't it just to get a place to stay in a relaxed and comfortable place with good treatment? Following Jun Wuhuan? The advantage of following Jun Wuhuan in the early years was that he didn't get it, and it was really exhausted.
Chu Ling sighed, and now he has no time to talk about these idle things with Yun Xingyue. He just suddenly remembered to ask. Since Yun Xingyue had no intention of talking more, that would be fine. Chu Ling changed the topic and asked, "Have you contacted Mingyao recently?"
"Mingyao?" Yun Xingyue raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I'm not familiar with him." Chu Ling smiled and said, "I asked if you have contacted him?" Yun Xingyue touched her nose and thought for a while, "It seems... yes, he went to Xinzhou two or three months ago. Jun Wuhuan asked him to ask me for some medicine."
Chu Ling looked at him, "Mingyao has been to Xinzhou, but I don't know?" Yun Xingyue laughed dryly and said, "This... he passed by Xinzhou. We met in private and drank a cup of tea and left."
"Where did you go?" Chu Ling asked.
Yun Xingyue pointed to the top of her head, and Chu Ling knew it.
Of course, Yun Xingyue’s meaning does not mean that he has gone to heaven, that means he has gone to Beijing.
Yun Xingyue looked at Chu Ling with enthusiasm and said with a smile: "What? Didn't Jun Wuhuan tell you about this?" Chu Ling looked at him with some amusement, "What's there to say about this? Are everyone very busy? Without him, I know what Mingyao is doing. But..."
Just leaving behind an empty Cangyun City, Jun Wuhuan was too brave. Then again, why did Jun Wuhuan transfer everyone in Cangyun City? Did he know that Baili Qinghong came back to assassinate Xie Tingze? If one Tuoba Yin and Xie Tingze could still hold on, plus Baili Qinghong would exceed the limit that Xie Tingze could handle.
If she came late last night, wouldn’t Xie Tingze be...
Just as Chu Ling was thinking about these things, a sudden sound of war drums and the long sound of the horns of the tribesmen came from outside the camp. Then there was a burst of shouts of killing. It was obvious that the new attack of the Northern Jin people had begun again.
Chu Ling glanced at Xie Tingze, who was quickly coming out of the tent behind him and said, "Old General, you have to rest first. I will watch this battle for you."
Xie Tingze was stunned, thought for a moment, but nodded decisively and said, "Then I'll have a hard time."
The two armies confronted each other again, and this situation was nothing new for both the Northern Jin people and the Cangyun army. After all, they had to stage such a confrontation almost every day these days. Even if the main general changed from Xie Tingze to Chu Ling, there would be no change.
Perhaps only Chu Ling understood that it was not that Xie Tingze would not take the initiative to attack, but that it could not. Behind them was a Cangyun City with almost no soldiers and no generals guarding. Xie Tingze not only had to block Tuoba Yin's way, but also had to be guarded against any enemy who wanted to attack Cangyun City.
So they could only defend here, instead of arbitrarily changing their garrison positions. At this time, Xie Tingze not only could not retreat, but even could not enter. The place where Xie Tingze was stationed was cleverly intercepting the necessary road to the border between Cangyun City and the Western Qin Dynasty. Once they left their current position and were taken advantage of by someone to enter Cangyun City, Cangyun City would be in danger.
Xiao Shi followed Chu Ling's side, which seemed a little excited compared to usual. Even the fatigue of rushing for several days seemed to be wiped out.
Xiao Shi looked at the army opposite and asked, "Princess, can I try Tuoba Yin's strength?"
Chu Ling thought for a while and said, "He may not necessarily fight with you." After all, marching and fighting is not a person who is fierce. As the main general, Tuoba Yin may not be willing to take action even if his martial arts skills are not weaker than others. Xiao Zi naturally understood this truth and talked a few regretfully, "It is indeed not a good time." Chu Ling said, "Although Tuoba Yin may not have a chance, there should be no less chances to fight Baili Qinghong."
If Baili Qinghong wants to kill Xie Tingze, he must fight with them. If Xie Tingze does not take the initiative to fight, it will be almost impossible to rely on the Northern Jin troops to kill Xie Tingze. Only Baili Qinghong can take action himself.
Xiao Shi was about to say something, but suddenly his face changed slightly: "Princess, look!"
Chu Ling followed Xiao Shi's gaze and saw Tuoba Yin, who had been sitting on the back of the horse and watching the battle, suddenly rode his horse into the army. He rushed straight towards them. His martial arts skills were superb, and ordinary soldiers could not hurt him at all. The horses under him were also rare horses. They rode their horses in a chaotic army and were like entering a no-man's land. In a moment, they were only ten feet away from Chu Ling and others.
Chu Ling raised his hand and pressed Xiao Shi who wanted to draw his sword, and instructed: "You are going to fight! I'm going, he is here to find me." After that, he raised the Liuyue Sword in his hand and jumped up from the horse's back and rushed towards the chaos in front of him.
Unlike many generals, Chu Ling rarely rides a horse and fights with people. One reason is that she is indeed not good at riding and shooting, and the other reason is that her martial arts are good at being sharp and changeable, and it is difficult to use them on horseback.
Tuoba Yin was indeed here to find Chu Ling, and the two fought for about ten moves in an instant. Chu Ling retreated with the force of the collision of internal forces, and instantly separated from Tuoba Yin two or three feet away. In the middle, Chu Ling slashed several Southern Army soldiers beside him with a few slashes, looked at Tuoba Yin and flew towards the edge of the battlefield. Tuoba Yin narrowed his eyes slightly, and soon followed. The two fought and retreated, and soon withdrew from the battlefield. Tuoba Yin jumped up from the back, then slapped the horse on the back and ran forward.
Tuoba Yin said coldly: "I don't know that you would use such despicable means."
Chu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled, "Shoot the horse first when shooting people, capture the thief first when capturing the king. I will chop your horse first, at most, you can say that I don't care for small animals, why is it so despicable?"
That's right, the reason why Tuoba Yin took the initiative to dismount was because Chu Ling kept attacking his horse. Tuoba Yin was reluctant to let the war horse that had been following him die and injured in Chu Ling's hands, so he had to abandon the war horse and fall to the ground.
Tuoba Yin snorted lightly and said in a deep voice: "Why are you here?"
Chu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and said in confusion: "Why can't I be here?"
Tuoba Yin said: "So, Cangyun City has cooperated with Tianqi? Even so, Emperor Yongjia shouldn't send you a princess to Cangyun City."
Chu Ling smiled and said, "King Chen is so smart, why not guess again."
Tuoba Yin stared at him with a cold expression. Chu Ling did not dodge, as if he was not concerned about his gaze. After a while, he heard Tuoba Yin say coldly: "You brought people to seize Linjiang City? You not only have something to do with Cangyun City, but also with Jingbei Army?" Chu Ling blinked and looked at Tuoba Yin and sighed lightly: "Your Highness Chen, you know too much... you will die early."
Tuoba Yin sneered and said, "Can you kill me?"
Chu Ling shrugged and said, "How can you know if you don't try?"
"So, what does your relationship with Jingbei Army and Cangyun City? Emperor Yongjia should not have the courage and courage to turn against the Northern Jin Dynasty blatantly, so these are your own private actions?" Tuoba Yin said in a deep voice. Chu Ling smiled and said, "Your Majesty King Chen, you know that I have always been very brave. Why are you so surprised?" Tuoba Yin narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You can't be the General Ling, who is the dragon in Xinzhou, who is not in front of him, right?"
Chu Ling nodded and smiled, "Let King Chen laugh."
Tuoba Yin closed his eyes, as if he was trying his best to endure something. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Jun Wuhuan, Yan Fengxiao, Chu Qingyi, Qu Sheng, Ling Chu... OK!"
Before the words were finished, Tuoba Yin stabbed Chu Ling as fast as lightning. Chu Ling was not surprised to see him disagreeingly. He dodged the sword towards him, and at the same time, Liuyue Knife also slashed back with one sword. The swords collided again, but no one gave in this time. Tuoba Yin swung several swords mercilessly, but they were all blocked by Chu Ling's Liuyue Knife. The two of them took action this time even more sharply than in the chaos army. The sword light and sword shadows were flying, and the murderous aura was scattered.
Chu Ling moved his position quickly under his feet, and he almost avoided the sword edge that was slashing against his neck. He slashed towards Tuoba Yin with a slightly lowered body and slashed towards Tuoba Yin. Tuoba Yin turned sideways to avoid the knife, sneered and stabbed him again.
The surrounding plants had long been destroyed by the sharp swords, and Tuoba Yin's horse was even more unaware of what to do. Even the battlefield not far away seemed to be much far away from them. At noon in late autumn, the sun shining on his body would not make people feel hot, but sweat was hanging on their foreheads.
After another confrontation, Chu Ling groaned and raised her hand to wipe her neck. A touch of red color stained her fingers. Chu Ling sighed helplessly, "It's still not possible." He looked at Tuoba Yin standing opposite him, ignoring the blood mark on his neck. Tuoba Yin lowered his head and frowned at the collar of his chest that had been cut. Although he was not injured, he was only a little bit away. It has to be said that the progress of the woman in front of him has indeed been quite amazing in recent years. Now even Tuoba Yin dares not promise that he can win if he fights her to the death.
"It's progressing very fast." After a while, Tuoba Yin said in a deep voice.
