When Lu Lingzhi woke up, the sky was already a little dark. He looked up at the sun and knew that he had slept for almost a day. He went over to wake Guan Jie and the others up. Except for Guan Jie, everyone else was in a daze and didn't seem to be awake yet.
"Brother, what happened?" Guan Jie held his head, feeling very heavy.
"She ran away." Lu Lingzhi's gloomy eyes were filled with anger. Since he poisoned Ye Zhen, he no longer trusted anyone, so he didn't let Ye Zhen near the medicine shop. No matter what she did, he would keep an eye on her.
When on earth did she drug them? He didn't notice it at all.
"I saw my sister's maid sprinkling medicine into the fire." Guan Jie handed the bottle that had been in his hand to Lu Lingzhi.
Lu Lingzhi sniffed it but there was no smell at all. He remembered that Ye Zhen took the initiative to pound the medicine for him last night. She drugged him at that time!
"Come with me to find her." Lu Lingzhi said in a low voice. If Yao Yao returned to his hands this time, he would not indulge her like this again.
Guan Jie nodded heavily, turned over the horse and followed Lu Lingzhi. As for the others, they naturally knew what to do after waking up.
"Brother, why do you have to find her?" Guan Jie asked curiously. He had been with Lu Lingzhi for so long and this was the first time he saw him care so much about someone.
"She is the love of my life." Lu Lingzhi whispered.
What is the love of your life? Guan Jie didn't understand what it meant. He wanted to ask again, but Lu Lingzhi had already sped up. He hurried to catch up with him.
Mo Rongzhan was also looking for Ye Zhen.
After passing through Anhe City, Mo Rongzhan immediately chased in the direction of Jizhou.
He had a lot of things to worry about. In addition to the war in the Wilderness and Anhe City, he was also worried about Ye Yiqing. But what made him most uneasy was Yao Yao, who had been away from him for a few months.
He didn't know how she was now. How was the child she was pregnant with? Was she wronged? Such a spoiled little Jiaojiao, even eating and bathing more than anyone else. How did she get along? Did she eat well? Did she sleep well?
No one could tell him whether the little girl he missed was doing well or not.
"Your Majesty, Shen Yi has sent a message." Sun Jun held a messenger pigeon in his hand and handed a secret letter to Mo Rongzhan.
Shen Yi had been tracking Ye Zhen's whereabouts. At this time, there should be news coming back.
Mo Rongzhan looked at the letter in his hand. What Shen Yi sent back was indeed news about Yao Yao. In his heart, he said that Yao Yao and the others encountered people from the Priest Hall on the way. Lu Lingzhi killed Protector Wu Ming and continued to take Yao Yao in the direction of Ji Zhou. However, on the way, Yao Yao drugged Lu Lingzhi and knocked him out. When Shen Yi arrived with his men, he saw that Lu Lingzhi and the others had woken up, but Yao Yao was nowhere to be seen.
Chen Yi didn't bring many people with him, and he was also heavily injured, so he didn't appear in front of Lu Lingzhi. Right now, he was following Lu Lingzhi, hoping to find the Empress.
"Emperor, where are we going next?" Sun Jun asked in a low voice.
"Go find Shen Yi." Mo Rongzhan said calmly. As long as he saw Lu Lingzhi, he would definitely make this person suffer the pain of a thousand cuts before killing him.
…
…
In the barracks of the Wasteland.
Ye Chunnan had originally planned to go to Xia Province to find Mo Rongzhan, but he happened to meet Sima Jian on the way, so he followed him back to the Wasteland. Before they returned to the barracks, they heard the sound of fighting and killing in the distance.
"It's Wan Ziliang with his troops!" Ye Chunnan was familiar with these sounds. It was the army of the Dark North Kingdom.
Sima Jian was shocked when he heard this. "Could it be that Wan Ziliang has already brought 200,000 elite troops to kill them?"
"Let's go and take a look." Ye Chunnan shouted, patting the horse hard and galloping out.
Wan Ziliang's 200,000 elite troops had not yet arrived in the Wasteland. He just wanted to take advantage of Ye Chunnan's absence to kill Tang Zhen first so that he could seize the best position in the Wasteland. Seeing that he was about to win, he didn't have time to rejoice when he saw Ye Chunnan appear with tens of thousands of troops.
"Retreat!" Wan Ziliang shouted. Damn it, why did Ye Chunnan come back?
Was this a trap?
He didn't have time to arrange the soldiers again. Before Ye Chunnan could catch up, he had already quickly retreated with his deputy.
When Ye Chunnan and Sima Jian rushed over, although they had caught many Dark North Kingdom soldiers, they still let Wan Ziliang escape.
"Marquis Jingning, are you hurt?" Ye Chunnan hurriedly found Tang Zhen and asked.
Tang Zhen said with a smile, "It's just a superficial wound. It's not a big deal. Why did you come back? This is … "
Sima Jian said in a low voice, "Marquis Jingning, we met General Ye on the road. The Emperor said that Wan Ziliang will definitely lead troops to attack the Wasteland and let us come to guard."
"The 2,000 captives of Western Liang are still with us. There are only 10,000 to 20,000 troops of the Dark North Kingdom. How can they attack the Wasteland?" Tang Zhen said doubtfully.
"It's not 10,000 to 20,000, it's 200,000." Ye Chunnan squinted slightly at the barracks that had been attacked by the Dark North Kingdom. "It seems that Wan Ziliang's 200,000 elite troops haven't arrived yet. This is an opportunity for us."
Wang Cuo shouted, "Yes, this is our opportunity. If we first occupy the grassland over there, whether it's the Dark North Kingdom or Western Liang, they won't be able to step into our Wasteland in the future."
"Then why don't we make it quick?" Sima Jian looked at Ye Chunnan.
Ye Chunnan glanced at the soldiers who had just finished a battle. "There's no hurry. These brothers have walked for so many days. They should have a good meal tonight. Tomorrow, they will have enough energy to go and kill that bastard Wan Ziliang. Don't you think so?"
"Yes!" Everyone yelled loudly.
Tang Zhen looked at Ye Chunnan with a smile. "Well, then let's go and kill Wan Ziliang tomorrow."
"Not only that, but also find a way to prevent the 200,000 elite troops from coming to the Wasteland." Sima Jian said.
Ye Chunnan revealed an unfathomable smile. "What can stop the 200,000 elite troops of the Dark North Kingdom? If they think that we have 300,000 troops waiting for them here, do you think they will dare to come? "
"General Ye, what do you mean?" Tang Zhen looked at Ye Chunnan doubtfully.
"There is a way to arrange troops that can give people the illusion that one soldier is three soldiers. Tomorrow, we can use this method to make Wan Ziliang have the illusion. When the time comes, they will pass the message back. Naturally, they will not let the 200,000 elite troops come to die." Ye Chunnan whispered.
Sima Jian asked, "This is the first time I've heard of such a way of arranging troops. General Ye, what should we do?"
Ye Chunnan smiled. "Let's go to the sand table and practice it."
