, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

The grain carts carrying grain stretched for more than ten miles, the strong horses were running fast, and the torches looked like fire dragons. In the night, from a distance, the fighting between the enemy and ourselves became more intense. Google search reading

The sound of the blade chopping bones no longer aroused any fear. Yan Junchu followed Su Xinyi, and his crossbow shot out cold arrows from time to time to help. Su Xinyi was a little surprised at first, but as the fighting lasted longer and longer, the two There is a tacit understanding between people.

Su Xinyi thought that although the prince was a little weaker, the angle and accuracy of the cold arrows were extremely high. With the prince as an assistant, she would be more brave in fighting. A waist knife that she already wielded was so powerful that it became even more murderous at this moment. Even the Tatars, who always considered themselves to be tough, couldn't help but feel timid. When they encountered Su Xinyi's knife, they turned around and ran away.

Pang Lan:......

Finally, I understood what Yang Jin's expression expressed when he mentioned Miss Su Liu.

Heads rolled down and blood spattered. As the food transport convoy got closer and closer, the fighting on the top of the mountain became more and more intense. The blood dyed the vegetation, mountains and rocks red, and the faint stars in the night sky seemed to be stained with the smell of blood and became darker.

Mu Xing suddenly appeared and shouted to Su Xinyi: "There is a group of Tatars running down the mountain. It seems they want to report to the grain transport convoy."

When Pang Lan heard this, he immediately turned to look at His Highness the Crown Prince. He had to catch up and destroy him, otherwise the grain transport convoy would never enter the pass after getting the news.

Yan Junchu ignored Pang Lan's gaze, but turned to look at Su Xinyi, but he did not expect that she was also turning to look at him.

Yan Junchu was slightly startled, and instantly understood that she was waiting for his order. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Then thank you for the hard work, Miss Six."

Su Xinyi's eyes lit up, "Your Highness, don't worry, Xinyi will fulfill his mission." After saying that, he quickly left with Mu Xing.

Yan Junchu looked at Pang Lan and said, "Follow me."

Pang Lan was a little worried. Miss Su Liu was gone. Who would protect His Highness when he left?

Yan Junchu looked at Pang Lan with some hesitation and said, "Do you really think that I am a piece of paper?"

Pang Lan was shuddered, and immediately ordered a few people, leaving most of them to listen to His Highness's orders and chased after them.

Yan Junchu retracted his gaze, the warm expression on his face instantly disappeared, and he raised his arms slightly and pointed forward. The remaining guards immediately moved forward to pursue the fleeing Tatars. Yan Junchu turned around and stared at the direction of the boulder in the distance. He could not see clearly in the dark night. He could not even trace the shadow of the boulder clearly. But he knew that today The risk-taking plan should be 60-70% certain.

Mu Xing's steps were extremely fast, and Su Xinyi was not far behind. Pang Lan and the others behind him were panting to catch up. These two were too fast.

Su Xinyi was slightly startled when she heard the sound and saw Pang Lan, but she didn't say anything. Several people had already seen the tail of the reporting team in front. She signaled and her troops divided into two groups to surround them, and immediately led Mu Xing around.

Pang Lan led his men to pursue them along the same route, but was soon discovered by those in front. The men behind drew their swords and fought with them. The Tatar in front ran away trying to pass the message out.

Su Xinyi and Mu Xing took a detour to catch up. They took out their sabers and brought out a cold light. There was some tacit understanding between the two, and their cooperation was even more fierce. The clothes on their bodies had long been stained red with blood. The long saber was thirsty for blood, like a god of death. .

The Tatars were already ferocious, but now they were aroused by Su Xinyi and Mu Xing, and they even took a desperate stance. The rising blood and the cries of death were constantly intertwined, making people tremble, frightened, and brave. The Tatars finally felt a little afraid when they met Su Xinyi, who was as fearless as cutting vegetables and killing people.

"Be careful!" Su Xinyi kicked away the enemy who sneaked up on Mu Xing. He might as well have been slashed on his arm. Even though Su Xinyi was quick to dodge, the blood still soaked his clothes instantly.

Mu Xing was stunned for a moment, then jumped to Su Xinyi's side to protect her, and asked loudly: "Are you okay?"

"Small injury, no problem." Su Xinyi didn't care, "Don't let people run away, chase them!"

Mu Xing gritted his teeth, knowing that now was not the time to be nagging, so he warned, "Be careful, I'll chase you."

Mu Xing, who was covered in blood and had a ferocious face, caught up with the enemy and stabbed him with the long sword in his hand without hesitation. At this moment, he forgot about his own defense and only wanted to kill the person with the sword.

At this time, a team quietly left the South City Gate. Yang Jin, the leader of the team, looked serious. All the horses' hooves were wrapped in thick cotton cloth, and they were like ghosts running towards Guanshan Pass.

The last enemy was killed by the sword. Pang Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Su Xinyi who was sitting on the stone and tore off a piece of cloth to bandage the wound. He was wondering how to explain to His Highness.

Not only Su Xinyi, but everyone alive here was more or less injured, but everyone had a look of joy on their faces. All the enemy troops who reported the news were cleared away. Now they are just waiting for the food transport team to enter the pass. Compared to those who died in battle, their injuries are nothing.

Soon, Su Xinyi felt the sound of footsteps. When she turned around, she saw Yan Junchu striding down the mountain and walking straight to her side. His eyes fell on her hand that was wrapping the wound.

He knelt down and stretched out his hands to bind her wounds, his movements gentle and his expression gentle.

Su Xinyi looked at Yan Junchu with a clear expression on his face, but for some reason he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. What was she afraid of?

There's something not quite right about this.

She has really never been afraid of anyone since she was reborn.

Pang Lan looked at His Highness's movements. His mouth was open enough to swallow a duck egg. He turned around and pretended not to see it.

Others followed suit, and Su Xinyi became even more embarrassed when he saw it. What was he going to do?

The corner of Mu Xing's mouth twitched, and after thinking about it, he turned around. He placed his long sword on the rock and took out the dagger he carried with him to wipe it carefully.

Su Xinyi had never been so embarrassed in her entire life. She coughed lightly and tried to break the uncomfortable silence, "I wonder if the reinforcements have left the city?"

If they successfully intercept the grain truck, but the reinforcements in the city cannot arrive in time, then the Tatar army returning to the defense and rescue will be able to rescue the grain truck, and then all their efforts will be in vain.

If it really comes to this point, she can only risk setting fire to the food. That much food is enough to feed a hundred thousand troops for half a month. It would be a pity to burn it.

Yan Junchu raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Su Xinyi, and said with a smile, "It should be almost done."

Su Xinyi:......

Don't smile at me, I just feel the soles of my feet are getting cold.

The inexplicable guilt made her even more uncomfortable.

After tying the cloth belt, Yan Junchu sat down next to Su Xinyi and stared silently at the night sky at the foot of the mountain in the distance.

Su Xinyi also shut up and waited for reinforcements. Seeing the enemy's grain trucks getting closer and closer in the distance, he couldn't help but look in the direction of the boulder, wondering how prepared they were.

When Su Xinyi was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard Yan Junchu ask: "Why would you take the risk to do such a thing?"

He has never understood why Su Xinyi did such a thankless thing. You must know that without military orders, even if you have made meritorious service, you may not be rewarded.

Su Xinyi was stunned for a moment after hearing this. How should she answer?

Do you want to say that you were a coward in your last life, so you want to be free and unrestrained in this life?

I'm afraid I will be regarded as a crazy woman.

She thought about it and was silent for a while before saying: "Ever since I came back, I have often heard people talk about my father's deeds, and I admire him very much. Besides, it is everyone's responsibility to protect the family and the country. Our Su family has been since our ancestors. When the troops are raised, they will follow the left and right, eliminate the border troubles, and pacify the inner world. The children of the Su family are not afraid of death. Even if they die on the battlefield, they will be remembered in history. Even though I am a woman, I will die without regrets. , but since my surname is Su, I want to do my part, that’s all.”

Under the night, there was silence.

That's all. It's easy to say, but how many people can do it?

Even as a man, few people would have such righteousness.

Pang Lan's mood was very complicated. He practiced martial arts in order to have a better future. Whether it was the righteousness of the country, the righteousness of the nation or the righteousness of his ministers, he never thought about it carefully. Step by step, he had no idea in his heart. It was confusing, but after hearing Su Xinyi's words, I felt a little embarrassed and guilty.

Not to mention that Pang Lan felt guilty and embarrassed, even Yan Jun was very surprised when he heard it for the first time.

But if you think about Su Xinyi's behavior since you met her, there doesn't seem to be anything strange about her.

Her thoughts and actions are always surprising.

At this time, the convoy transporting grain had entered Guanshan Pass, and everyone's conversation stopped. A pair of eyes stared closely at the convoy entering the canyon. The graceful torch like a swimming dragon illuminated the situation in the canyon clearly. Clearly.

Probably the Tatar convoy would not have thought that someone would ambush here. After all, it was only a dozen miles away from the Tatar army.

Su Xinyi's heart beat violently, and she subconsciously looked in the direction of the boulder. Even with the help of gunpowder, if they could not succeed in one fell swoop, the frightened grain transport convoy would inevitably exit the canyon as quickly as possible. The canyon was only one mile long, too short. .

Only by blocking the way out of the canyon can we cooperate with the rushing troops to fight an ambush.

The speed of the convoy increased significantly after entering the canyon. When they were about to reach the boulder, even their breathing slowed down subconsciously.

At this moment, there was a loud "bang", and a brilliant spark exploded in the dark night, lighting up half of the sky. Then a huge "bang" sound came, and the boulder rolled down from the top of the mountain, all the way. When it was smashed down, countless rubbles hit the enemy like a meteor shower.

The horses pulling the cart were frightened and neighed and ran around. The huge rocks blocked the canyon, and countless gravels rolled down. The horses under the Tatar cavalry suddenly became a mess. People howled and horses neighed, and the entire canyon was in chaos. .

At this moment, Su Xinyi and others suddenly saw chaos at the rear of the grain transport convoy, and their eyes suddenly lit up, reinforcements had arrived!

This is too timely, what are you waiting for, rush down the mountain immediately!

Yan Junchu and his men followed immediately. Pang Lan saw that he could not stop him, so he raised the knife in his hand and guarded it tightly by His Highness' side, and he also rushed down.

The canyon suddenly became a purgatory, with corpses everywhere and the land dyed red. Su Xinyi and his party rushed down from the mountain. The enemy soldiers in the canyon were shocked and resisted desperately. From time to time, someone shouted something loudly, as if they wanted to To exit the valley.

How could Su Xinyi and others let them get what they wanted? Their black eyes were filled with murderous intent, like a tiger charging down the mountain to kill.

The entire Guanshan Pass seemed like a hell. Yang Jin led the team to rush into the enemy formation, trying to find His Highness. He was anxious, but he did not dare to let the enemy find out. If the enemy knew that His Highness was here, these people would go crazy and fight with him. They died together.

The small mountain pass turned into purgatory in an instant.

The flag was stained with blood, the halberd was buried in yellow sand, and dust was flying everywhere. Su Xinyi kicked away the Tatar who was slashing in front of him with a knife, but he didn't expect to be attacked from behind. The cold wind passed by, and he felt a stinging pain in his left shoulder. The enemy's blade tore through her clothes, and she instantly lowered herself to release her strength. The knife in her hand flipped between her wrists and plunged straight into the enemy's belly.

Just then, the body stuck on the tip of her knife was kicked away. She looked up and saw Yan Junchu and asked, "Are you okay?"

Su Xinyi shook her head and said in a deep voice, "Let's go and meet up with Yang Jin and the others."

Yan Junchu's eyes swept over Su Xinyi's wound, and he helped her up with a gloomy face, "Let's go!"

Su Xinyi was about to say that this injury was okay. It looked serious, but in fact, it didn't hurt the bones, just flesh injuries, but seeing Shang Junyan's gloomy face, she couldn't say anything.

Pang Lan led his men to protect the surroundings, and fought in the chaotic army with the remaining power of the rocks. Everyone was bloody, as if they had become bloody people, with blood on their bodies, including their own and the enemy's.

Su Xinyi held the knife in her right hand and looked at Yan Junchu who was blocking her. For the first time, she realized that the weak prince in her heart was actually fake. He was holding the enemy's scimitar in his hand, and he didn't use it very well, but his moves were open and closed, which was completely opposite to his gentle and tolerant image.

Su Xinyi never knew that His Highness was so kind. In her previous life, she saw him mostly in the palace, where he was wearing the crown and robes of the crown prince. He was thin and had a very harmless smile. She always thought he was a weak scholar...

Weak scholar...

Su Xinyi just wanted to wash her eyes.

Most of the troops escorting the grain and grass were attracted by Yang Jin's men, and the remaining ones were killed and injured by the rocks on the mountain. Su Xinyi and others met Zhan Qiao and others rushing down from the mountain halfway. The pressure on the two of them was greatly reduced, and they forcibly tore a hole in the enemy army that besieged them. At this time, Yang Jin asked the deputy general to contain the main force of the enemy, and he led a team of people with a long spear to tear open the enemy formation, and finally joined His Highness the Crown Prince.

"I am late in protecting the emperor, and I should ask Your Highness to forgive me." Yang Jin turned over and dismounted to apologize.

Yan Junchu reached out and helped him up, "You came just in time, let's clean up the mess first."

The army led by Yang Jin rushed several times and completely broke through the enemy's chariot formation. The enemy's general who was protecting the grain was killed, and only a small team escaped. Pang Lan took people to organize the grain carts and immediately escorted them back to Zhangping Prefecture. So much food was enough for the border army to eat for a few days. Everyone had a relaxed smile on their faces.

Yang Jin assigned a part of his people to escort a car with Pang Lan, and the rest of the people immediately formed a team and waited for the order of His Highness.

At this time, Mu Xing ran from a distance, panting slightly and said: "The enemy is coming towards Guanshankou. It is estimated that there are at least 10,000 people."

This is the army rushing to help. Yan Junchu immediately ordered, "Ambush on the spot."

Yang Jin received the order and passed it down, and the army ready to wait immediately moved.

At this time, Zhu Pengzu, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, heard a faint loud noise coming from Guanshankou. Seeing that the enemy divided its troops to reinforce Guanshankou, he immediately opened the city gate and deployed troops to pursue the enemy.

Originally thought to be a protracted war that would take several months, who would have thought that a huge change would occur because of Su Xinyi's sudden attack on the enemy's food and grass.

Arrows rained down, blood dyed the yellow sand red, horses neighed under the night sky, swords flashed, and figures kept falling.

On the city wall, Zhu Pengzu stared into the distance motionlessly, his face calm as usual, but his heart was anxious. He didn't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had withdrawn safely. If the Crown Prince made a mistake...

The lives of his family would be in danger.

Just as he was thinking, he heard hurried footsteps coming, and then heard his personal soldiers report back: "My lord, His Royal Highness Prince Rong is going to break through the city gate."

Zhu Pengzu almost spit out a mouthful of blood. One by one, they were causing trouble for him. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leaving the city was already his negligence in defense. He would have to apologize after returning to Beijing. Now he could let Prince Rong leave the city?

Did he think his life was too long?

"There is a great war going on and the city is in chaos. To protect your highness, please ask your highness, Prince Rong, to return to the palace." Zhu Pengzu said sternly.

"Yes!"

Prince Rong, who wanted to force his way through the city gate, was "held back" by someone in a gentle voice. He was so angry that he almost cursed, but there was nothing he could do.

If it were someone else, he could still negotiate, but Zhu Pengzu couldn't negotiate. If he could negotiate, would he still force his way in by relying on his status?

After the forced entry failed, Prince Rong squatted in the palace and was very sad.

He got the news after the prince left the city. It was too much that he didn't take him with him for such a thing. He knew that he wanted to take the credit for himself, to take credit in front of his father, and to establish his authority in front of the ministers.

He was so angry!

At this time, Prince Rong didn't know that the prince had received the news from Su Xinyi, nor did he know that Su Xinyi became famous for tracking and successfully intercepting the enemy's food and grass.

By the time he knew it, Su Xinyi had returned to the city with the prince's army. It was not until the merit was discussed that he knew what Su Xinyi had done.

He was completely stunned!

Su Yi was the vanguard in this battle. He broke through the enemy's army guarding food and grass. He made great contributions but was indeed injured. The brother and sister entered the city side by side. Su Xinyi, as a non-staff member, could rest, but Su Yi could not.

He looked at his sister with a very complicated expression and told her, "Xinyi, don't run again this time."

Su Xinyi:...

"I don't have the strength to run, don't worry, big brother." Su Xinyi immediately promised. After running on the grassland for so many days, even she felt physically and mentally exhausted, and the subsequent pursuit and encirclement was not a matter of three or two people.

Su Yi still had military affairs to attend to. He sent his sister and a few others to the house where he was temporarily staying and immediately returned to the team. Although he was injured, he still wanted to fight for the task of pursuit.

Zhan Qiao and the others were all injured. After sitting down, they looked at each other and laughed instantly.

The one who was most seriously injured was Cao Qing. He was stabbed in the back in order to save Bao Datong. His smile made him throb in pain. Bao Datong immediately stood up and said, "I'll go find the doctor."

"I'm afraid all the doctors are in the military now. Ask around if there are any civilians who know a little bit about medical skills to help." Su Xinyi said hurriedly.

The medical households were all registered with the army. After the war, they naturally worked in the army to treat the wounded. They could only find people from the common people who had some skills in medicine but were not registered as medical households.

Bao Datong nodded and walked out. Tian Zao had already started looking for things to light the stove. If nothing else, just boil some water and drink it first.

Cao Qing couldn't move, so Zhan Qiao went to help him. Mu Xing took a look at Su Xinyi's injuries.

Su Xinyi smiled.

Mu Xing didn't have much to do. Anyway, Su Xinyi was very lucky.

Unexpectedly, Bao Datong came back soon, followed by a medical woman carrying a medical box. Bao Datong immediately stepped forward and replied to Su Xinyi: "She said His Highness asked her to come."

Su Xinyi glanced at the doctor woman and nodded, "That's good work."

"Don't take it seriously. This is what a daughter of the people should do." The doctor woman stepped forward and saluted.

Su Xinyi knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very busy at the moment, but he unexpectedly remembered to send a medical girl over and entered the room to treat the wound. The medical girl frowned slightly and said softly: "You need to take good care of your injury, I'm afraid it will Gotta leave a scar.”

"It doesn't matter." Su Xinyi didn't care about this, but after hearing the doctor's words, she knew that she should know her identity, so she smiled and said, "Where is your ancestral home?"

"The civilian girl's ancestral home is Dongchuan County, and she later moved to Zhangping Prefecture after joining the army."

"Dongchuan, most people there study medicine and have strong family ties. However, there are not many female doctors."

"The girl is the youngest in the family. Her two older brothers have both died."

Su Xinyi was stunned and glanced sideways at her, "Dead?"

"The eldest brother diagnosed a soldier and contracted an epidemic. The second brother went on an expedition with the army and failed to come back."

Su Xinyi's heart was very heavy, and he said after a while: "They are all heroes who are loyal to their country."

The doctor girl was stunned for a moment. She couldn't control her strength. Su Xinyi couldn't help but frown. She was about to stand up and apologize, but her face turned pale.

Su Xinyi pressed her down and said, "It's okay, you continue. Then why are you still a doctor?"

If she was the only one left in the family, and she was a woman, she shouldn't be a doctor in the army.

"There is no one at home. If I don't come, I will be forced to come by my tribe. It's better for me to take the initiative."

Su Xinyi knew that in some places, people were greedy and vicious, and they would do anything to occupy households and knock on widows' doors.

She sighed softly, "It's also a way out."

If she really can't survive in the village, becoming a medical girl is indeed a way out. Otherwise, if she doesn't have the support of her parents and brothers, if the clan members deliberately retaliate against her and choose a bad marriage for her, they can kill her.

The doctor girl neatly bandaged Su Xinyi's shoulder injury, "That's what the girl said."

"What's your name?" Su Xinyi asked.

"The folk girl's name is Han Qingling."

Su Xinyi wrote down the name, and after she finished bandaging, she asked again, "Can I show the injury to those people outside?"

Because there are differences between men and women, Su Xinyi was afraid that Han Qingling would not be happy, so she asked specifically.

Han Qingling was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "Girl, if you don't dislike it, it's okay."

Just trauma, nothing.

Although she didn't know the identity of the person in front of her, she would not dare to offend someone who could make His Highness the Crown Prince.

"Then I'll bother you. They're all external injuries and I won't embarrass you." Su Xinyi stood up and said with a smile.

Han Qingling nodded hurriedly, and just as he was about to speak, he heard someone's voice outside, "Su Xinyi, come out!"

Hearing this name, Han Qingling was stunned and couldn't help but look up at the person in front of him.

Su Xinyi?

It turns out to be her!
