Ye Mei turned her head and saw a Cooks 'Army soldier walking past her. She hurriedly called out to that person.
The Cooks 'Army had good eyesight and recognized Ye Mei's identity at a glance. He quickly bowed his head and bowed.
However, he was stopped by Ye Mei." Big Brother, do you know which country we are fighting?”
Ye Mei was completely unaware of the battle in the military camp today. Murong Yue didn't even mention it, but he had been very busy these days. As long as she went to increase her relationship with Black, he would discuss something with Long Moqing and the others. Initially, she thought that she was deliberately avoiding him. Now, it seemed that she did not want him to know about the war at all.
That Cooks 'Army soldier clearly did not expect Ye Mei to ask this question. He was stunned for a moment before he regained his senses and said,""It's the coalition army of Qi Country and Sheng Country. Last night, they suddenly declared war on our Yan Country. This morning, the Great General led his troops over.”
"Are you saying that they didn't make any preparations beforehand?”Ye Mei asked in a low voice.
The Cooks 'Army soldier nodded in a daze. He felt that the personal guards around the general were very strange. They did not follow him to the battlefield, nor did they understand the situation of the battle. In fact, it looked like they did not even know that there would be a war today.
Ye Mei suddenly had the urge to scold Murong Yue's mother. Such a big matter, she was actually so foolishly kept in the dark.
In the past, she had always thought that Li San was stupid. Now, it seemed that the two of them were about the same.
Li San! Ye Mei was shocked and suddenly started to worry.
"Thank you." Ye Mei nodded and smiled at the Cooks 'Army. Then, he turned around and quickly walked in the direction of the cavalry camp.
That Cooks 'Army soldier looked at Ye Mei's back view in confusion. After a while, he shook his head," What exactly attracted the Great General to this sissy?”He really did not understand why Ye Mei was so favored.
Ye Mei naturally didn't care about the gazes of others. He walked to the cavalry camp at his fastest speed, but there was no one there. Almost all the horses in the horse farm had been led away.
Without even thinking, he knew that Li San must have gone to the battlefield to kill his enemies. Ye Mei suddenly started to worry.
This Li San was so silly that he might very well become the enemy's first target. After all, everyone would pick the weak first.
Thinking of this, she became even more nervous. The drums seemed to be beating in her heart. Suddenly, the neighing of a horse came from the stable.
Ye Mei's eyes lit up." Little Black!”
She instantly had an idea. She raised her head and quickly ran in the direction of Little Black.
Ignoring the strange gaze cast by the Cooks 'Army, he circulated the internal energy in his body and instantly ran to Xiao Hei's side like the wind. He quickly untied it and jumped onto Little Black's back.
Little Black raised its head and neighed. Without waiting for Ye Mei's command, it ran towards the battlefield ahead. It was obvious that it had been itching for a long time, but it was tied up and could not move.
"Retreat!" A mournful voice suddenly sounded in the sky.
Ye Mei suddenly stopped Little Black from moving and stopped where he was.
On the other side, Murong Yue's white battle robe had been dyed red. He was surrounded by Long Moqing and the others. The soldiers behind him were defeated, and most of them were new recruits who wanted to use this opportunity to get into the hole.
On the other hand, the enemy troops were orderly and had high morale.
Such a sharp contrast caused the gap between the enemy and the enemy to widen. It would be strange if the Yan Country's army could win.
Ye Mei's brows furrowed slightly as he looked at the cavalrymen's area. Seeing that Li Shan was riding on his horse unharmed, she heaved a sigh of relief. Their eyes met and Li Shan gave her a silly smile. He stretched out his hand to show her the weapon covered in blood, looking as if he was asking for credit.
Ye Mei Hao wasn't stingy as he gave him a thumbs up and smiled sweetly. That gaze actually caused Murong Yue, who wasn't far away, to be absent-minded. Li San, on the other hand, scratched his head in embarrassment.
Ye Mei smiled and rode his horse towards Murong Yue. "How is it?" she asked, her tone filled with worry.
Murong Yue, who was already unwilling, saw Ye Mei come and his face turned even darker," Why are you here! Didn't they know that this was a battlefield? Was it very dangerous?”There was a hint of worry in his reprimanding tone. There was bright red blood on his arm. It was unknown if he was injured or if it was someone else's blood.
The reason why he left Ye Mei behind was to protect her and nothing else. Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept the war from her.
Ye Mei looked at him pitifully and turned his horse around to follow him back to the barracks." This is such a big matter and you didn't tell me? Don't you know that I'm worried about you?”She was clearly blaming him, but when she said it, it became a coquettish tone.
Her big resentful eyes stared at Murong Yue, her small face filled with grievance.
Murong Yue was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Ye Mei to have such a reaction. His eyes dimmed as he said in a low voice,"I'm sorry, I'm just worried about your safety.”
Ye Mei snorted and turned his head to ride Little Black towards the barracks.
Behind him, Long Moqing's eyes dimmed and she looked at Ye Mei's back with a bitter smile. Long Mocheng patted him on the shoulder and shook his head. He looked at him meaningfully but didn't say anything.
Of course, the conversation between Ye Mei and Murong Yue did not seem like much to those who knew about it. It was just that those who did not know about it could not help but start to fantasize. After all, they were all normal people. They lived in the military camp all year round and could not interact with the opposite sex. It was inevitable that some changes would occur in certain aspects.
For example, the problem of orientation.
Many doubtful gazes landed on Murong Yue. However, since the other party was a Great General, they couldn't discuss anything.
The corner of Murong Yue's mouth twitched slightly, but he couldn't say anything. Since they liked to guess, then let them guess slowly.
"Hahahaha. Murong Yue, is this all you have?”From the enemy's side, a burst of wild laughter could be heard. Clearly, he was provoking them.
Murong Yue's hand that was holding the weapon involuntarily clenched and he gritted his teeth.
"General, no!" Long Moqing quickly stopped him. In this situation, if he acted on impulse, he would never be able to make a comeback.
"Humph!" Murong Yue wasn't a fool and naturally understood this. He snorted unwillingly and patted the back of his horse. The horse neighed and quickly ran in the direction of the camp.
Behind him, the insolent laughter rang in the ears of every soldier of the Yan Country.
A sense of grievance rose in their hearts, but this feeling could not be vented.
In the distance, Ye Mei's brows furrowed slightly as he looked at this large army. Worry inexplicably rose in his heart. She saw Murong Yue riding his horse over quickly. Before she could react, he had already entered the military camp.
Ye Mei was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly chased after her.
It was night, and the entire military camp was shrouded in a heavy atmosphere. This first battle ended in failure. The originally full of morale army became dejected, even Murong Yue was unhappy.
He ordered the battalions to summarize the lessons of their failures, and from there, they would try their best to defeat the enemy the next time.
Ye Mei consoled Murong Yue earnestly. Even though he was a great general, this was also his first time truly going to the battlefield. Without enough experience, it was inevitable that they would lose.
"Great General." Long Moqing walked into the commander's tent with a serious face and looked at the two people who were talking.
Murong Yue nodded his head and indicated for him to sit down. After which, he said,"Why are you here so late?"
"The enemy suddenly retreated towards Huangsha Pass at the border of Sheng Nation.”
"What?!" Murong Yue suddenly jumped up from his chair, his pupils suddenly enlarging.
Ye Mei, who was standing at the side, was also stunned when he saw Long Moqing's intense reaction.
"Quickly call the others over." After a long while, Murong Yue calmed down and sat back on the chair as he spoke in a deep voice.
Those with keen senses could already sense that the situation was developing in a tense direction. If they continued to passively wait for death, the outcome would probably be the same as the first battle, ending in failure.
Huangsha Pass was a small town on the western border of the Yan Country. It did not have a large population, but it was located in a critical location. It had always been easy to defend and difficult to attack. If it was taken down by the enemy, then they would continue to attack the cities behind it. It would be as easy as cutting through bamboo.
Therefore, Yellow Sand Pass could not be lost no matter what!
In the commander's tent, several important main forces had heavy expressions. The two countries combined and their military strength was too strong. Although the Yan Country was slightly stronger than one of them, it could not compare to the two countries that were one plus one.
"Shadow Guards, immediately send someone to inform the Yellow Sand Pass's guards. They must protect Yellow Sand Pass before my army arrives.”Murong Yue's expression was solemn as he instructed in a deep voice.
The Shadow Guard at the side hurriedly nodded in agreement, then turned around and left.
"Great General, are we going to follow them to Yellow Sand Pass?”Liu Jiang asked. His usually calm face finally revealed a slight emotional fluctuation at this critical moment.
Even though he had spent half his life in the military, the difficulty of this battle was far beyond anyone's expectations.
Murong Yue lowered his head and looked at the map in his hand carefully. The flag on it was slowly moving from the south to the west, and the words " Yellow Sand Pass " appeared on it." There should be no danger at the Yellow Sand Pass for the time being. Long Moqing, you will lead 100,000 troops and 50,000 recruits to guard here, in case you fall into the enemy's trap." As for the others, follow me through the shortcut. According to my budget, we should be able to arrive three days earlier than them. What do you think?"
This was the best countermeasure he could think of in such a short time.
The others looked at each other with solemn expressions. Ye Mei stood behind Murong Yue without saying a word. When he heard what Murong Yue said, he felt that it was very unreliable.
"Perhaps things are not as you think, Great General.”She opened her mouth and frowned slightly, seemingly deep in thought.
As soon as she said this, everyone's attention was immediately attracted. Long Mo didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it and smiled at her. Obviously, she wanted to hear Ye Mei's opinion.
"You are just a female…personal guard, what right do you have to speak?”Liu Jiang was very dissatisfied with her interruption and gave her a disdainful glance, almost revealing her identity as a girl. It seemed that ever since he knew she was a girl and Murong Yue made Ye Mei his personal guard, Liu Jiang had never given her a good look.
Ye Mei didn't mind his words and turned his gaze towards Murong Yue beside him, revealing a questioning gaze.
Under such circumstances, it was indeed inappropriate for her to interrupt rashly unless someone gave her permission.
"Ye Mei, do you have other opinions?”Murong Yue tilted his head and asked, but his tone carried a hint of incomprehension.
Ye Mei's eyes swept across the crowd. Other than the two generals that she did not recognize, she recognized everyone else. Now that the enemy was right in front of her, if she made a wrong judgment, it was very likely that it would cause immeasurable losses.
Thinking of this, Ye Mei cleared his throat and said,""If we send a small team to scout the enemy's situation at night, wouldn't it be easier for us to come up with the best plan? Yellow Sand Pass has always been easy to defend and difficult to attack. If I were the enemy, I would definitely choose this place. Moreover, they had just won the battle. If they continued to attack in one go, they would definitely have a greater chance of winning.”
She spoke her judgment, and everyone fell silent. Indeed, Ye Mei's analysis was not without reason, but attacking this place was not that easy either. It was even more difficult than Huang Sha Pass.
"According to what you said, the enemy is just bluffing. They just want to transfer our troops away and then take the opportunity to take this place in one fell swoop?”Liu Jiang said in a deep voice, his deep eyes flashing with an elite light.
If it was really as Ye Mei had predicted, then Qi Country and Sheng Country would definitely be determined to seize the nearest city.
Ye Mei shrugged his shoulders and smiled slightly." That's just my judgment. As for what we should do, it's up to you guys to decide.”
However, everyone present knew that Ye Mei had once been arrested as a spy. Her analysis made it difficult for others to tell whether it was true or false.
At this time, it was better to take one step at a time.
"Long Mocheng, lead a small team to investigate.”Murong Yue spoke. Clearly, he also felt that what Ye Mei said was reasonable.
Long Mocheng nodded and stood up from his chair." I'll go now."”After saying that, she showed Ye Mei a small face. She realized that the always cold Long Mocheng could look so good when he smiled.
Smiling back at him, Ye Mei met Murong Yue's indifferent expression with his lowered brows. Ye Mei smiled embarrassedly and stood obediently behind him.
This discussion lasted until late at night. After everyone dispersed, the commander's tent suddenly fell into an awkward situation. Ye Mei laughed dryly, thinking that he could ease the atmosphere, but he did not expect Murong Yue to still have an ashen face.
Glancing at Ye Mei who was beside him, he snorted coldly and lowered his head to look at the map and manual on the table.
Ye Mei stood there innocently, muttering that he was baffled. Turning his head to look at Murong Yue's serious face, he thought for a moment, then sighed and poured a cup of water for him.
"You've been busy all day. Drink some water.”She said, not caring whether Murong Yue was willing or not, she placed the blanket on the table.
"Do you know what you did wrong?”Murong Yue's voice sounded faintly. He slowly raised his head from the table and looked at the water that was still steaming. His cold face emitted a chilling chill.
Ye Mei put on a fake smile and took a step back before shaking his head innocently." I was only concerned about the Yan Kingdom, that's why I went beyond the rules and said a few more words. If General feels that I've done something wrong, then I won't interrupt again."”
She quickly promised, afraid that she would be instantly killed by Murong Yue's anger.
"Hmm? Your analysis is correct." He did not deny that what Ye Mei said was wrong.
Hearing him say this, Ye Mei felt that it was strange and looked at his pupils with a puzzled gaze.
"Don't you know how dangerous it is to go to the battlefield without my permission?”Murong Yue shouted loudly, his eyes burning with a fiery light. From the looks of it, he was clearly quite angry.
Ye Mei couldn't help but shrink his head and take a step back before he reacted. This matter should be Murong Yue's fault, but he didn't expect him to actually make a countercharge.
Thinking of this, Ye Mei instantly became self-righteous. A cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth." When the enemy invaded, I was the only one in the entire camp who was kept in the dark. No matter what, I am also a part of this. Is it wrong for me to go to the battlefield to protect the country? Is it wrong to go and investigate because I'm worried about your safety?”The more Ye Mei spoke, the angrier he felt. He raised his head and stared straight at him, looking as if he was very confident.
Murong Yue couldn't speak for a moment and could only open his eyes to look at her. Ye Mei gave a cold humph and placed his hands on his waist, revealing the posture of a shrew cursing in the street, ready to fight at any moment.
"I'm just worried about you. Since I've agreed to let you stay, I naturally have to take care of your safety.”He smiled faintly, and his tone was much gentler than before.
Seeing that his imposing manner had weakened, Ye Mei retracted his posture and turned his head to snort. His red lips pouted slightly, clearly angry.
Murong Yue revealed a helpless expression and shook his head. He stood up and walked to Ye Mei's side.
"I told you I would protect you." he said. His tone was so gentle that it was as if he had become a different person.
"Ah?" Ye Mei turned his head in astonishment and met his gentle gaze. The distance between the two of them was only a few tenths of a centimeter.
Her face turned red involuntarily and she instinctively took a step back. However, her waist was blocked by a strong hand.
"What do you think?" he said, his eyes filled with anticipation and nervousness.
Ye Mei's eyes flickered and a nervous expression flashed across his bright eyes." This lowly one is only the General's personal guard. This lowly one should protect the General.”
His ambiguous gaze made Ye Mei's heart beat faster.
"Is that so?" Murong Yue leaned close to her ear, his hands wrapped around her waist.
Ye Mei's nerves tensed up and his body could not help but freeze. He instinctively struggled, but he realized that his body could not muster any strength.
She bit her red lips lightly, and her eyes revealed a vexed expression. She looked at his perfect side profile from the corner of her eyes, but her face turned even redder.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
