After the indigenous heroine was reborn, she went crazy and reorganized the plot line

Chapter 230 Rescue

On the other side of Yugu Pass, there was also a cold wind.

General Niu and his group were hiding in the more secluded shade of the trees on the mountainside.

General Niu was shouting in a rough voice to drive away Xiao Hei and his group who had suddenly arrived.

"I don't need you gangsters here. If you don't want to die, leave."

Xiao Hei knew General Niu. After all, Rong Su was the Phoenix Girl and was personally bestowed upon the Phoenix Army by the Emperor of Zhongzhou.

Even though a fake Phoenix girl appeared later and spread rumors, it seems that the Phoenix Army was not withdrawn.

"General Niu. We are here to support you. We are also here under the orders of Miss Rong. Please let us stay."

As Xiao Hei said this, he clasped his hands together and bowed to General Niu.

Seeing Xiao Hei doing this, A Jin also pulled Xu Jian to salute General Niu, even though Xu Jian was a little impatient with General Niu's stubbornness.

General Niu looked around at them with sharp eyes.

Seeing that General Niu hadn't let go of his prejudice, Xiao Hei continued to persuade him, "Now that war has broken out between the two continents, even if we're just from the Jianghu, so what? We're all from three continents. In the face of this war, shouldn't we unite and end it together?"

"General Niu, you also know that only by rescuing the Regent of Dongzhou can we finally put an end to this war that has lasted for so long."

General Niu's expression became more serious. He fixed his eyes on Xiao Hei's resolute face and pondered for a long time.

"Forget it, if you want to die, come on. But if you join the rescue team, you have to listen to me!" General Niu glared at them sternly.

Seeing that General Niu had no objection, Xiao Hei immediately agreed: "We will definitely follow your orders, General Niu!"

General Niu waved his hand. "Alright. I had my people find out that the Regent has already launched his first counterattack by breaking out of the valley, but it only achieved a minor result. The Northern Continent Army remains impregnable. Therefore, we must find a way to find someone to evade the Northern Continent Army, sneak into Yugu Pass, and meet up with the Regent's men. Then we can cooperate internally and externally."

Xiao Hei felt that General Niu was right, so he said to General Niu, "We will follow your arrangements."

General Niu nodded with satisfaction, and then discussed with Xiao Hei and A Yuan how to sneak into Yugu Pass and meet Shen Peiqing.

Since neither side was making any movement, they hadn't taken any action yet.

That night, everything was quiet except for the bleak cold wind.

Xu Jian stood on the top of the cliff protruding from the middle of the mountain, with his hands behind his back, staring down. Their position was just right so that they could see the entrance and exit of Yugu Pass very clearly.

This includes the Beizhou Army ambushing at the entrances and exits, as well as the Dongzhou Army guarding the Beizhou Army inside.

"Are you still blaming the girl?"

Ajin suddenly appeared from behind Xu Jian. He crossed his arms, glanced at Xu Jian, and then looked down following his gaze.

Xu Jian knew there was someone behind him, and he had clenched his fist around the hilt of his sword, but when he heard Ajin's voice, he loosened his grip.

Xu Jian was silent for a moment in response to his words, and said in a faint tone: "Why should I complain?"

Ah Jin glanced at Xu Jian. His expression was serious and slightly indifferent. Suddenly, he smiled. "You still say you have no resentment? The breath-holding pills that the young lady fed us will only make the person who takes it stop breathing for half an hour. The young lady did that because of her power. If she hadn't done that, none of us would have survived Shen Ying's hands."

Xu Jian knew this very well, but Rong Su did not tell them in advance and acted like a bad guy in front of him.

It also made him feel great hatred towards her. When he learned all this from Xu Cao, he felt guilty for not trusting Rong Su. He even felt that he had scolded Rong Su so harshly at that time and could not accept himself like that.

A Jin could see that Xu Jian was blaming himself and feeling ashamed. He couldn't help but reach out and pat his shoulder, sighing, "Since you feel guilty towards the young lady, why don't you complete the mission the young lady has given us. Rescue the Regent. After all, he is the one the young lady cares about."

Xu Jian knew what to do, but he was also worried about Rong Su's current situation.

"She arranged everyone to rescue the Regent, but what about herself?" Didn't she think about the danger she would face?

Suddenly, Xiao Hei walked out from the darkness, as if he had heard their conversation. His expression was a little heavy, but his eyes were firm.

"The girl is a calculating person. She must have her reasons for making such arrangements. We just need to follow her arrangements. I trust her decision."

Ah Jin nodded in agreement, "Yeah, me too. You're the second person I've ever met who I consider incredibly intelligent. The first one is of course my mother!"

Xu Jian looked at Xiao Hei, then at A Jin, then lowered his eyes and sighed lightly: "Yes, we should trust her."

-

"Sire, I asked the cook to prepare a bowl of hot soup for you. It's cold, so drink it and go to bed early. I believe we will get news about the Master of the Secret Shadow Pavilion tomorrow."

A deputy general bowed and spoke respectfully to Shen Fengyu who was sitting on a chair.

Shen Fengyu closed his eyes and supported his face with one hand. He did not open his eyes when he heard the deputy general's words, and his voice was a little cold.

"How's the situation at Yugu Pass?"

The deputy general was afraid of displeasing Shen Fengyu, so he hurriedly thought about how to answer.

"I have already sent people to keep an eye on Yugu Pass. If there is any movement there, they will be killed without a burial place."

There was a brief silence, and Shen Fengyu was still silent. The deputy general's forehead was already covered with cold sweat, but he didn't dare to move, and he didn't even dare to wipe the sweat that was sliding from his temples to his chin.

"Heh. Shen Peiqing has already attempted to attack once."

Shen Fengyu's sneer scared the deputy general so much that his legs began to tremble, and his voice even shook a lot.

"Subordinates, subordinates, subordinates have made adjustments according to Military Advisor Xiao's instructions. The next time Shen Peiqing attacks again, they will definitely be wiped out!"

Shen Fengyu suddenly opened his eyes at this time, stared at the deputy general who was about to lower his head to the ground for a while, then his eyes moved to the cook behind the deputy general.

The deputy general noticed Shen Fengyu's gaze on the bowl of soup, and immediately laughed heartily, urging the cook to serve him: "Hurry up and bring the hot soup to the Lord!"

The cook lowered his head and steadily carried the bowl of hot soup to Shen Fengyu, then placed the hot soup in front of him, turned around and took a step forward.

"Wait a minute."

After hearing this, the cook who had lowered his head raised his eyes slightly. It was Rong Su in disguise. There was a hint of coldness in her eyes.

Her heart tightened slightly, her hand was already holding the silver needle, and she became a little nervous.

The deputy general was also a little nervous: "My lord, is that bowl of hot soup not to your taste?"

Shen Fengyu stared at Rong Su for a while, then looked at the deputy general and said coldly, "I don't like mutton soup. Bring it away."

The deputy general heard that Shen Fengyu was unhappy, waved at Rong Su, winked and said, "Hurry up and take it away!"

Rong Su lowered her head and said in a rough voice: "Yes, yes!"

After she walked out of the tent with the hot soup, her palms were covered in sweat.

The rapidly beating heart finally calmed down a little.

Rong Su walked into the darkness and stared at Shen Fengyu's tent.

It seems that poisoning food is not an effective method, and Shen Fengyu is a cautious person, so he has to find another way.

Two days passed unknowingly while I stayed in the Beizhou military camp.

Rong Su stayed in the kitchen tent every day. Since the cooks wore masks while cooking, and the cooks were replaced at any time, no one seemed to notice if there was one more or one less, so as long as he didn't speak casually, he didn't have to worry about being recognized.

Moreover, her clothes were originally stolen from the tent of one of the soldiers, but she didn't expect them to fit her perfectly.

Rong Su was a little anxious today. Two days had passed and she had no way to get close to Shen Fengyu's tent again.

This is because Shen Fengyu’s meals were brought to him by the deputy general.

Perhaps the deputy general asked her to go with him that day because he was afraid of being punished by Shen Fengyu and wanted to find someone to take the blame, so he brought her along.

Just then, there was a commotion outside.

Rong Su saw this and immediately stopped a hurriedly passing soldier. He asked in a gruff voice, "Big Brother, what happened? Why are you all so panicked?"

The soldier saw Rong Su's attire and said with a serious expression and some disdain: "Ah, what else could it be? It's just that the Regent King of Dongzhou is desperate and rushed out of Yugu Pass with the remaining thousand soldiers. In order to deal with them, he even asked us Hou Feng soldiers to go to war. What's the point of talking to you all this time? Go and make your meal!"

Rong Su originally just wanted to find out a little bit about the situation, but he didn't expect that the soldier in front of him would mock Shen Peiqing in such a tone, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

The next second, the soldier looked at Rong Su with a surprised expression, then covered his neck, rolled his eyes and fainted on the ground.

While everyone was in a panic heading out to fight, Rong Su dragged the unconscious soldier to a deserted place and kicked him hard.

She then avoided the crowd and walked towards Shen Fengyu's tent.

She couldn't wait any longer. Although she didn't know whether General Niu and Xiao Hei had followed her arrangements, if she didn't take the initiative now, Shen Peiqing would be in danger.

After much deliberation, Rong Su decided to ambush Shen Fengyu at the risk of being discovered.

According to what he learned in the past few days, Rong Su found out that although Shen Fengyu was the commander-in-chief, he would not go to the battlefield in person. He would only stay in the rear and take charge of the overall situation.

At this time, Shen Fengyu would be painting in the tent. Yes, I don’t know if it was because he was conceited or overconfident, but he didn’t seem to think that he would fail at all, and he even had the mind to pick up a pen and paint.

Rong Su crouched down and, with the faint light coming through the gap in the tent, quietly approached Shen Fengyu's tent.

She gently lifted the corner of the curtain, and a wisp of cold wind quietly slipped in, causing the candlelight in the tent to sway slightly.

Shen Fengyu was facing away from her, concentrating on sketching something on rice paper. His figure was elongated by the candlelight. No matter how loud the noise was outside, it seemed exceptionally quiet inside.

Her heart was beating like a drum. She slowly took out a small jade bottle from her sleeve, and gently unscrewed it with her fingers. A barely perceptible fragrance quietly filled the air.

She took a deep breath, and her figure flashed past like a ghost. With a flick of her wrist, a silver needle as thin as an ox hair fell silently on the back of Shen Fengyu's neck. He seemed to feel only a slight tingling, and then fell to the ground with a bang.

Standing at the edge of the gap, Rong Su stared at the figure lying on the ground for a while, and after making sure that he was indeed asleep, she sneaked in while no one was outside.

After walking over, she looked down at Shen Fengyu with a cold light in her eyes: "A person like you who harms the world is not worthy of being a king."

-

Xiao Yilin sat on a high platform, looking down at the two armies fighting below. Seeing the soldiers on Shen Peiqing's side falling to the ground one by one due to fatigue and hunger, he felt very happy.

It was because of his cooperation with Shen Peiqing that he is now disliked by Li Sheng in Zhongzhou. Li Sheng has now used him to eliminate Tian Fengnu's power, and now abandons him when he sees that he is useless.

Li Sheng, just wait for me. After I destroy Dongzhou, the next one will be Zhongzhou.

He snatched the bow and arrow from the hand of a soldier beside him, picked up an arrow, put it on the bowstring, squinted one eye, and aimed at Shen Peiqing who was fighting on the battlefield.

There was a sinister and cruel sneer in his eyes, Shen Peiqing, today is the day you die.

The arrow flew out of his hand with a whoosh. Seeing that the arrow was about to hit Shen Peiqing's back, Xiao Yilin's smile widened.

But the smile didn't last long, as the arrow was suddenly split in half by a sword.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yilin's smile froze instantly.

Then someone shouted in panic: "Oh no! The other side has reinforcements!"

Xiao Yilin's eyes widened in disbelief when he heard this. How could this be possible! How could Dongzhou send reinforcements to Shen Peiqing? The Dongzhou nobles were all so selfish, how could they possibly send reinforcements to Shen Peiqing?

But no matter how much he didn't believe it, Xiao Yilin looked at the nearly several thousand people rushing over from a distance. Although they were all wearing refugee clothes, they were all tall and the weapons they held were sharp weapons.

"How could it be..." Xiao Yilin's face became serious.

"Master Military Advisor, those don't seem to be refugees. They look like trained soldiers." The deputy general on the side seemed to have noticed something and his voice became serious.

When Xiao Yilin saw that he couldn't kill Shen Peiqing, his eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness.

"No, kill them. We have tens of thousands of people. Can't we kill just a few thousand people?" Xiao Yilin roared at the deputy general.

A soldier came running in panic to report, "It's bad, sir, we've been ambushed by them, and now nearly half of our soldiers have been poisoned by the smoke."

Xiao Yilin felt a surge of anger in his heart as if he had been caught off guard.

No, we can't stop here.

Xiao Yilin was about to give an order when suddenly another soldier rushed over with an anxious look on his face to report information to him.

"My lord, this is bad! His Highness has been held hostage by the Phoenix Girl!"

"What did you say?" This news was like a sudden bolt of thunder, which made Xiao Yilin panic.

The deputy general beside him also began to panic: "Sir, let's retreat quickly, we have to save His Highness!"

Xiao Yilin gritted his teeth and stared at the group of people who had rescued Shen Peiqing. He clenched his fists unwillingly, weighed the pros and cons, and finally ordered a retreat.

Shen Peiqing held a blood-stained sword in his hand, standing in the center of a pile of enemy soldiers' corpses, his black eyes looking coldly in the direction where Xiao Yilin left.

When Shi Tou and Mu Tou saw that Xiao Yilin had withdrawn his troops, they hurried over and stood on Shen Peiqing's left and right to protect him.

"Master. Are you alright?"

Shen Peiqing narrowed his dark eyes, looked at the vanished enemy troops, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Send someone to investigate the Beizhou camp."

Stone and Wood looked at each other and agreed, then Wood turned around and did it.

At this time, General Niu brought his men to Shen Peiqing.
