Chapter 164: Escape from the Dilemma
Chapter 164: Escape from the Dilemma
"Master! Wang Lang is a man of his words. He said he wouldn't fight us, but he wants to trap us! He brought 10,000 men with him, and with only 3,000 of us, it won't be easy to break through!"
"Besides, he also knows that we have no food. He has come all the way here, so he must know our supply points. I think the supply points ahead have been destroyed by him!"
Shadow had not been with Ye Yin just now, so he was a little worried that Wang Lang would cut off their food supply.
After a conversation with Wang Lang, Ye Yin already understood his intentions. The secret order Wang Lang received was definitely not to trap him! But he didn't take action, which showed that he still had a trace of conscience. Besides, he was waiting for news from the capital.
"He won't. I just said that even though he destroyed the supply point, he will send us food. He just wants to trap us, not kill us! So, you're worrying too much!"
An Ba glanced at Anying and felt that his mind was not too simple. Wang Lang surrounded but did not attack, which was obviously not in compliance with the order of His Majesty.
Although this abandoned temple is abandoned, it has fresh water brought down from the mountain, so the water supply will not be cut off, and there will also be food. If the situation in the capital changes and Your Majesty delays issuing an edict, there will definitely be people in the court who will strongly oppose it.
Wang Lang's thoughts will be particularly important at that time! The fact that he is not taking action and only surrounding the city is the best proof of this.
While they were talking, countless thoughts had already passed through Ye Yin's mind.
How can we escape without losing a single soldier?
Wang Lang is a man with a conscience but also loyal. He also cares about his family. It is no longer possible to persuade him to let him go, unless it comes to the last moment and he is forced to betray the old emperor at all costs.
At this moment, Lin Yue came back. She was worried about Ye Yin, so she went back to take a look, explained something to Cheng Yi, and then came back!
Ye Yin's heart warmed. It had been so many years since he had felt such a warm feeling of being cared for by others! He immediately stepped forward and held Lin Yue's hands, not caring at all about the three secret guards beside him.
When An Ba saw his wife appear out of nowhere again, the three of them voluntarily stepped out and stood guard outside.
"Why are you back again? The old general..."
"It's okay, he's awake. Just take good care of him. With Cheng Yi here, there's no problem. But what's going on with you?"
Ye Yin briefly explained the situation, and Lin Yue frowned as she listened.
I thought, is this old emperor's head filled with muddleheadedness? No wonder people always say that the older people get, the more afraid they are of death and the more confused they become.
"Can you make use of that space?"
When Ye Yin saw her come back, a new idea came into his mind, and Lin Yue immediately understood what he was thinking.
"We have to try it to know. Anyway, when treating illnesses, we can bring people into the space."
Lin Yue had tried it before, and she could teleport a short distance, but not too far!
So the Shadow who was called in was knocked unconscious by his master with a palm! Lin Yue tried, but could only go one kilometer with Shadow and Ye Yin, no further!
That’s enough!
Both of them were very surprised, but they didn’t know how many people the space could accommodate?
Lin Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Try the horses first. After all, they are living creatures."
Ye Yin ordered the horses to be gathered together, and he stood guard himself. Lin Yue quietly slipped in, and with a slight movement of consciousness, he realized that about two hundred horses had already entered, which was the maximum allowance! No more could fit in!
After figuring out the quantity, Ye Yin had a plan in mind.
"Master, why did you knock me out just now?"
Shadow stroked his neck feeling aggrieved.
"I just wanted to test whether you were wary or not."
"what?"
Shadow was so sad that he couldn't even cry. What the hell was this Master doing? Did he really need to knock himself out just to test his vigilance? Alas! There was nothing he could do. After all, he was the Master!
Although Shadow was knocked unconscious before entering the space, if these 3,000 light cavalrymen, including their horses, were to be transported one kilometer away, Lin Yue would have to run dozens of times, and besides, not all of these people could be knocked unconscious, right?
"We'll leave a hundred people here to distract Wang Lang. He'll also send people to investigate and deliver food. We need someone to fill the gap. Once we reach Fanzhou, we'll pick them up and chase the main force."
"Then who will stay?"
Lin Yue already understood Ye Yin's arrangement, and he must be the one who stayed.
Because Wang Lang would not become suspicious unless he saw him.
"An Ying and I will stay behind with the others, while An Ba and An Shi will lead the others on their way. This place is only a day's journey from Fanzhou. If we ride as fast as we can, we'll be there soon."
Ye Yin held Lin Yue's hand with some guilt, "It's just like this, I'm afraid it will be hard for you!"
This was nothing. Six thousand men and horses, it would only take an hour. She was working with her mind, and with Ye Yin around, she wasn't worried about running out of energy! So she didn't take it seriously at all. It was just a little troublesome!
There is no better way!
After the discussion, Lin Yue returned to the Southwest Palace. She still had a lot of things to do during the day, and the dry food was still being prepared. It should be almost done in another day. Fortunately, the wooden house in the space was upgraded to the Hidden Dragon Hall, otherwise there would be no place to store so much food and dry food.
It looks like a lot, but it gets consumed quickly.
Outside the capital, the army of the capital was almost unable to hold on. The rebels were too motivated and their attacks in the past few days were very fierce. If the prince had not personally gone to the battlefield to boost morale, the army of the capital would not have been able to hold on for a few more days.
The atmosphere in the capital was depressing and heavy, and the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared. Now all the patrolling officers and soldiers went to the city gate and carried out defense under the command of Li Jin.
It has to be said that the prince used Li Jin quite well. Although he was a bit ferocious, he was quite good at leading troops in battle. He had also served in the Mobei Army in the past, and was promoted to the position of commander of the imperial guards because of his military achievements.
In just a few days, Fan Haihua lost a lot of weight. Ever since the prince left the city to stabilize the army's morale, Fan Haixin has been handling various affairs in the city on behalf of the prince. She is dressed lightly and looks heroic. She rides a white horse when she goes out, and her dignity as a princess is completely out of sight.
Although he has lost weight, he is full of energy and exudes a unique charm!
"The Crown Prince is defending outside the city, and the Crown Princess is holding up the city."
As An Jinyue spoke, her eyes were full of admiration.
As expected of someone taught by Grandpa Fan, her talent can only be revealed at this time. When the prince is away, all matters in the city, big or small, must be reported to her, including the defense of the city gates. Therefore, she is the prince's strong backing in the city and the backbone of the city. As long as she is seen riding a white horse passing by in the city, everyone will feel inexplicably at ease.
For the first time, Lin Yue experienced the complete image of ancient women who were as brave as men!
