This was the biggest victory that the Jin Kingdom and the Western Liang had achieved in the Wilderness for so long. Although they had won the previous battle, they did not cause much damage to the other side. This time, not only did they capture 2,000 Western Liang soldiers, but they also captured Fan Luduo. Although Wan Ziliang escaped, this was enough.
Returning to the camp, Ye Chunnan handed over the task of reorganizing the army and counting the prisoners to Tang Zhen. He took Jin Shanshan into his tent and held her tightly in his arms. After a while, he let go of the blushing Jin Shanshan.
"Shanshan, weren't you taken away by Qi Ruoshui?" Ye Chunnan looked down at her and asked.
"Yes, Her Highness and I were taken to the Priest Hall. Qi Ruoshui treated Her Highness politely and wanted to use her to threaten Mr. Huangfu. This time, it was the Pavilion Master of Qian Luosha who took people to rescue Her Highness and burned the main hall in front of the Priest Hall." Jin Shanshan whispered, "Her Highness asked me to escape first and tell you the inside and outside structure of the Priest Hall. I actually think Her Highness has been rescued."
Jin Shanshan told Ye Chunnan all the things that happened after she was taken to the Priest Hall, including the fact that Ye Zhen saved Wanyan Xi's life.
"Qi Ruoshui seems to want something from Mr. Huangfu, so he has not dared to hurt Her Highness. But that night, the Priest Hall was in chaos. Is Mr. Huangfu still there? I don't know if Qian Luosha's people have rescued Her Highness." Jin Shanshan said with a worried face.
Ye Chunnan bowed his head and kissed Jin Shanshan's forehead. "Since Qi Ruoshui has not hurt Her Highness so far, she must be safe. If she was rescued by Qian Luosha's people, we will soon receive the news."
Jin Shanshan asked doubtfully, "Why did Qian Luosha's people go to rescue Her Highness? It seems that even their Pavilion Master has been dispatched."
"The Pavilion Master of Qian Luosha is Murong Ke." Ye Chunnan pursed his lips. He and Mo Rongzhan could not go to Western Liang in person. The only person who could rescue Yaoyao from the Priest Hall was Murong Ke.
"What should we do next? I'll draw out the structure of the Priest Hall and then sneak into Western Liang with some people. I've memorized the rotation time of the Priest Hall's guards," Jin Shanshan said. She had always felt uneasy not saving Lu Yaoyao.
Ye Chunnan said, "It wasn't easy for you to come back from Xi Liang. Rest well first. The Emperor has sent secret guards to save Yao Yao. I believe that when the Priest Hall was in chaos, they had already gone to save Yao Yao."
Hearing Ye Chunnan's words, Jin Shanshan let out a sigh of relief. She knew that the Secret Guards of the Jin Emperor were very powerful. If they were already in Xi Liang, then the Empress would definitely be safe. "When I escaped, I met Jianjia. She should be with the Secret Guards. She went back to find the Empress."
"Show me the structure of the Priest Hall. No matter what, since Qi Ruoshui dared to capture Yaoyao, I will flatten her Priest Hall sooner or later." Ye Chunnan said coldly.
"Alright." Jin Shanshan nodded and drew everything she remembered, including where the guards were weaker and where there was a small door to enter. After everything was written down, she handed it to Ye Chunnan. "Can I see Big Brother Zhu?"
Ye Chunnan took the drawing paper in her hand and nodded lightly. He ordered the people outside, "Go and invite Zhu Yequan over."
Jin Shanshan took a deep breath. She had waited for so long, and finally, someone she was familiar with appeared. Zhu Yequan was a disciple that her father had taken in and was absolutely loyal to her father. He definitely knew what had happened at that time.
A soldier led Zhu Yequan in from outside.
When Jin Shanshan saw the person in front of her, she was completely stunned.
It was still the same familiar brows and eyes, but why didn't he have arms?
"Big Brother Zhu, you … where are your hands?" Jin Shanshan cried out involuntarily.
Zhu Yequan was a young man. The moment he saw Jin Shanshan, his eyes had already turned red. It was only because he forcefully endured that he didn't lose control. He thought that he would never see the Miss in this life. He didn't expect that he would really see her.
"Miss, it's great that you're still alive." Zhu Yequan said with restraint.
It took Jin Shanshan a long time to find her voice. "How did you become like this?"
"Miss, it was Wan Ziliang who cut off my hands. He's simply a beast. The general objected to him attacking Dongqing and attacking the cities of Xiliang for no reason. He secretly ordered someone to drug the general and killed him." Zhu Yequan knelt in front of Jin Shanshan and finally couldn't help but cry out loud. "Beast."
"It's really him!" Jin Shanshan's eyes were red. She couldn't wait to cut Wan Ziliang into pieces.
Zhu Yequan continued, "After the general was killed, the Emperor conferred Wan Ziliang the title of general and handed over the original Jin family army to him. A few of our deputies wanted to find out the cause of the general's death, but we were all killed by Wan Ziliang and slandered by him. Only I managed to escape with great difficulty, but I only lost a pair of hands."
"The Emperor was so indifferent to father's death. Didn't he know that it was Wan Ziliang who killed father?" Jin Shanshan was extremely sad. Their Jin family had been fighting for the Northern Dark Kingdom for three generations. Could it be that they ended up like this? Even their death was unknown.
Zhu Yequan shook his head. "I don't know what kind of plan Wan Ziliang proposed to the Emperor, but the Emperor listened to him. A year ago, he recruited soldiers all over the Northern Dark Kingdom. Except for men under the age of 12 and men over the age of 60, almost all the men were called to the military camp."
Ye Chunnan, who had been silent at the side, heard this and finally his eyes darkened. "Wan Ziliang recruited soldiers a year ago. What is he going to do?"
"I don't know. Although he recruited soldiers, he didn't train them much. So many men have joined the army. It's not something that can be trained in one or two years." Zhu Yequan said.
Jin Shanshan's eyes were filled with tears. "I must kill Wan Ziliang and Beitang Yu, the ungrateful dog emperor!"
Ye Chunnan walked to her side and said in a low voice, "As long as you capture Wan Ziliang alive, I will let you kill him with your own hands."
"Brother Zhu, how did you find this place?" Jin Shanshan asked.
"I heard that you were captured by General Ye. I wanted to ask about you, but General Ye's men found out and brought me here." Zhu Yequan said in a low voice.
Ye Chunnan turned to look at him. "You just said that Wan Ziliang recruited soldiers. Tell me more about it in detail."
He didn't know if Wan Ziliang's recruitment of men had anything to do with the 200,000 soldiers in Anhe City.
If these men had never been to the battlefield and had not trained seriously, then what was the difference between them and ordinary people? If the 200,000 soldiers were made up of ordinary people in the Northern Dark Kingdom.
Where were the real soldiers of the Northern Dark Kingdom?
