The two of them slowly walked forward and unknowingly walked into the Valley of Death. The breeze blew, and black charcoal ash fell from time to time.
"Imperial Concubine, it's getting late. Shall I send you back?”Yu Heng kept having an ominous feeling, so he reminded.
"Is that so? I feel that my interest is very strong. With Lord Yu accompanying me, it's even more icing on the cake. I don't want to waste such a good scenery and waste Lord Yu's painstaking efforts today.”Xi Shi was obviously deliberately making things difficult for him, but there was no other way. In the eyes of the King of Wu, Xi Shi was probably more precious than his life. Unfortunately, this was just his wishful thinking.
Yu Heng was speechless, but there was nothing he could do. He could only brace himself and be an escort. In his heart, he cursed the woman who abused her husband in front of him.
"Don't go too far. I know a lot of your secrets, but you can't do anything to me. But then again, I won't hurt someone who's harmless to me like some people.”
Xi Shi stopped and looked at the mysterious man in front of her with her big watery eyes."If you are really harmless, then show us some sincerity and let us rest assured. I am very interested in your background.”
"What's wrong? Fancy me? Be careful that the walls have ears, hehe." Yu Heng knew that jokes were the best way to resolve such an unanswered question.
Xi Shi looked at the palace guards who were keeping a certain distance and let go of them. She smiled and said,""If you help me, it's not impossible for me to take a fancy to you.”
The two of them were chatting happily when suddenly, in front of Yu Heng, a black-clothed man nocked an arrow behind the rocks and shot towards Xi Shi. Yu Heng cried out in his heart, instinctively holding Xi Shi in his arms, and naturally fell to the ground.
The arrow that was shot just happened to pass through Yu Heng's head. It was so dangerous. Yu Heng's back was covered in cold sweat. He didn't know if it was worth it, but his first reaction was that if Xi Shi died, he really couldn't go back.
Seeing this, the guards not far away quickly surrounded the two of them. At the same time, Yu Heng's personal guards went straight to the direction where the arrow was shot from to search for the assassin.
Xi Shi did not move, as if she was immersed in happiness. For a woman as intelligent as her, this was the first time she felt her face burning. Could this be the legendary feeling of love?
"You, are you alright?"
Yu Heng's soft call did not arouse the other party's reaction. The guards beside him did not dare to reach out without authorization. After all, Xi Shi was the King's woman. If they reached out without authorization and angered the King, their hands might be cut off.
"Imperial Concubine, everything is fine now.”Yu Heng was awkwardly pressed down by Xi Shi's gentle body. He could not move and could only endure waiting for the other party to get up. He didn't expect that this usually elegant, generous, and intelligent woman would actually lose her memory. Could it be that she was frightened by the hidden arrow?
"Oh, oh, okay. Thank you, Yuheng. Without you, I might not have been able to see the king again today.”Xi Shi came back to her senses and stood up under Yu Heng's support. However, when Yu Heng's big hand touched her jade back, she was very happy. That sense of security was born from the bottom of her heart.
However, this feeling could only be kept deep in his heart and could not be revealed. Just as Yu Heng said, he could not harm a person who was harmless to him. That was a very unjust act.
"Hehe, even a great beauty can be moved to tears? I was so touched by you this time that I almost cried. However, you wouldn't know if I didn't say it.”Yu Heng couldn't stand such a sad atmosphere and joked. His words attracted the snickers of a few guards beside him.
Xi Shi pouted her little mouth, her pink face blushing, but she was not amused by Yu Heng. She pretended to be angry and said,""Little pervert, you've seen enough. Go back.”
F * ck, women change their minds faster than flipping a book. It seemed that this wasn't a patent of the 21st century. It had started to appear even during the Spring and Autumn Period. These women had cultivated for so many years. No wonder they were so ruthless.
"Alright, I'll report to the king when I return.”
"Go to hell. Am I your burden? Let me tell you, don't underestimate me. There will be a time when you beg me.”Xi Shi tidied her sleeves and returned to her previous arrogant appearance.
Damn it, that's true. I have something to ask of you, that's why I have Yin blood. Wasn't it on the beauty map when I transmigrated? This was really troublesome. It was inevitable for him to beg her.
"Hey, Imperial Concubine, I will beg you, I will definitely beg you. Don't worry, but don't reject me when the time comes.”Yu Heng followed behind Xi Shi and kept emphasizing, afraid that the other party would really ignore him.
"It depends on your mood, Lord Yu. Your performance is very important to me.”Xi Shi seemed to be in a better mood, and she started to talk nonsense.
As soon as they returned to the camp, the bodyguards came back with the assassin. After interrogation, they learned that this person was a secret agent who had gone abroad to inquire about the actual situation of the Wu Kingdom. They did not expect to meet a high-ranking official of the Wu Kingdom in the Valley of Death. They wanted to kill him and ask for a reward.
During the interrogation, they received even more shocking bad news. After the Chu State suffered a defeat in the Valley of Death, the King of Chu was furious. In order to save his face, he sent another army to intercept and kill the King of Wu.
Yu Heng felt that something was wrong, so he gave the order to immediately set off. At the same time, he personally went to explain to Wu Wang.
The Chu people who had suffered a loss earlier must have come in a menacing manner, and they were even more prepared than last time. If he had relied on the favorable terrain to be ambushed last time, then this time, he had come prepared. The decisive battle was obvious.
Yu Heng arranged for Deputy General Xia to lead the elite soldiers to protect the King of Wu. He personally brought a small portion of people to cover the rear and wait for the Chu army to come and challenge him.
After passing the Valley of Death, the main force entered the plains. With Wu Zixu at the front to receive them, they were not far from the meeting place. This way, he would be relieved and could focus on dealing with the Chu army. If he did not defeat the other party this time, it would be a problem when he returned from the meeting.
After carefully looking at the map, Yu Heng decided to wait at Jingshui. This was a place that the Chu army must pass through. Wu and Chu were both vassal states in the south, and the soldiers 'swimming skills were relatively similar. The only difference was that the enemy was strong and they were weak. Only by being extraordinary could they win.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Chu army had not arrived, Yu Heng brought his men to secretly dig a lot of holes on the shore. They placed bamboo sticks in the holes and arranged them into traps to disguise themselves. As long as the Chu army appeared at the edge of the Jing River and fell into the trap, they would definitely be crushed to death.
Of course, this was just a show of strength. It would cause the Chu army to panic and lower their morale for revenge. It would not completely solve the problem.
Immediately after, Yu Heng would arrange for some of his men to use a few big speakers that he had learned from modern times to play ghosts and make noise in the middle of the night, making Chu Jun unable to sleep at night. He would become more and more tired and wear out their spirit.
