"A life and death battle! A life and death battle! Let's fight to the death!" The voices rang out one after another, making people feel as if they were deafened.
Ye Mei nodded his head in satisfaction. Ignoring the gazes of the other generals, he rode on Little Black and took the lead to meet the enemy's army that was chasing after them.
The other soldiers also followed behind Ye Mei with high morale, repeating the words 'fight to the death' repeatedly.
This sudden change in momentum was clearly beyond the enemy's expectations. Their general immediately signaled for them to stop chasing. He rode his horse to a halt and sized up Ye Mei with narrowed eyes.
"General, should we retreat?" The deputy general spoke and also looked at Ye Mei. His brows were tightly knitted and he felt a chill run down his spine.
"He's just a brat who's still wet behind the ears. I'll go and meet him.”Obviously, the Great General did not even put Ye Mei in his eyes. Furthermore, Ye Mei was only wearing the armor of a close guard. He had every reason to believe that this was a bluff.
"General, be careful." The deputy general was still on guard, but seeing that the general had already gone over, he could not stop him.
The corners of Ye Mei's mouth slanted as he stopped Little Black and sized up the enemy general from the corner of his eyes.
His deep gaze was bottomless, and there was a long scar on his left face that looked like a centipede crawling on it. It was a very shocking sight. His entire body was emitting a baleful aura. Clearly, it had accumulated over the years because he had killed too many people. The broadsword in his hand emitted a piercing light under the sunlight. It was mixed with fresh blood and reflected on Ye Mei's face.
"Little child, don't overestimate yourself. Surrender obediently and I will spare your life.”The general laughed loudly. His rough voice carried a hint of vicissitudes.
Not far away, Murong Yue's pupils suddenly shrunk as he galloped towards Ye Mei's direction.
"What are you doing!" He shouted nervously and reached out to bring her back. "I'll do it!"
Ye Mei shook his head and smiled indifferently. He shifted his gaze to the enemy's side and his gaze revealed his usual haughtiness. His red lips parted slightly." How about a bet?"”
The general's interest was piqued when he heard that. The corners of his mouth slanted." Please speak, child."”
The way he called Ye Mei a doll clearly showed that he didn't think much of Ye Mei.
However, Ye Mei didn't really care. The outcome would be the deciding factor.
She smiled slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a faint smile." General, do you think you can defeat me in a few moves?”
The general was stunned for a moment before he recovered his senses. He sized up Ye Mei and the emaciated horse under her and shook his head," At most five moves."”This was his estimation of the worst.
With his experience in the military for half his life, he could easily tell that Ye Mei had never really been to the battlefield.
However, the faint evil aura on her body made people's hearts jump.
"Alright." Ye Mei laughed maniacally." I bet you can't get me off my horse within ten moves.”
She raised her eyebrows and looked very confident.
"Little child, don't talk big and hurt your tongue.”The general laughed for a long time as if he had heard a funny joke.
Murong Yue also had a face full of anger and worry," Mei 'er, what are you doing!”He scolded in a low voice, obviously thinking that Ye Mei was bragging. He had also fought with the enemy's general before, but Murong Yue's strength was slightly inferior, and he fell into a disadvantage several times. However, he could stall the general.
"Hmph, my brother Ye Mei is invincible!”Li San and Ye Mei had the same posture, raising their heads with an appearance of bursting with confidence.
But this time, there were no other soldiers who echoed him. Everyone knew that this Li San had always been silly and Murong Yue also had a worried expression towards Ye Mei. The people who were full of confidence just a moment ago instantly turned into frosted eggplants.
Ye Mei glared at Murong Yue and whispered,"See? Why did the morale change so much? Think about it yourself. You're a general. You don't even know the basics of marching and fighting.”
She didn't feel polite and lectured Murong Yue with a dejected face.
Murong Yue wasn't annoyed, his brows slightly furrowed as he thought about Ye Mei's words.
Seeing that Murong Yue was no longer noisy, Ye Mei tilted his head and looked at the Great General opposite him," How about it, do you dare to bet?”
The general laughed loudly again." Why wouldn't I dare? But what does the child want to bet with me?”
"If I win, you and I will stop fighting for three months. If I lose, then my Yan Country will give you another three cities.”Ye Mei spoke with a face full of confidence and arrogance.
He did not know where his confidence and tone came from, but he actually suppressed three cities of the Yan Country.
"Haha, good. If you win, not only will we stop fighting for three months, but we will also give up one of the cities we have conquered.”The general was straightforward, but he also looked determined to win.
However, as soon as he said this, the few generals behind Yan Country disagreed. After all, the stakes were too high for them to afford to lose.
" General, don't…" Liu Jiang was the first to object.
"I believe in Ye Mei." Murong Yue interrupted him. He didn't know if it was Ye Mei's words that made him wake up, but he also became full of confidence in Ye Mei. He rode back a few steps and stopped beside Long Mo Qing.
"I believe her." Long Moqing smiled faintly, her eyes never leaving the skinny figure.
"Me too." Long Mocheng also spoke, his cold face covered in blood.
Murong Yue smiled. Although he didn't speak, his meaning was already clear.
"General is indeed a man of character." Ye Mei naturally couldn't be more eager to have a city.
He looked at the man opposite him and suddenly sheathed his sword.
"Little child, what are you doing?" The general asked in confusion.
Ye Mei laughed confidently and arrogantly." Since you're the one attacking me, then it's useless for me to hold onto this weapon. As long as I'm still on my horse within ten moves, it'll be my win.”Obviously, Ye Mei meant that no matter how he attacked, he would not retaliate.
"You overestimate yourself!" This was the first time that the general had been underestimated by such a young man. He felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Take this." he reminded. He brandished the large blade in his hand, condensing it into a brilliant blue light that shot straight at Ye Mei from the tip of the blade. A confident smile appeared on his weathered face, as if he had already seen the scene of Ye Mei being beaten off his horse in a sorry state.
However, something unexpected suddenly happened. Ye Mei's hands kept waving and a strong wind suddenly formed under her palms. In an instant, sand and stones flew around her. Little Black whinnied under her and Ye Mei patted it gently to calm its emotions.
"Go!" Ye Mei shouted loudly. The flying sand and stones mixed together and collided with the brilliant blue light.
"Boom!" The violent sound caused the ground to shake.
The flying sand wrapped around the blue light tightly. After a long time, the dust settled and the blue light disappeared without a trace.
"What kind of martial arts is this!" For a moment, the surrounding spectators began to discuss animatedly. The move that Ye Mei had used was too shocking. As a result, these people could not digest it at all.
Murong Yue's expression changed again and again, his eyes looking at Ye Mei filled with surprise. He was sure that this woman was not that simple!
The enemy clearly did not expect Ye Mei, who looked so weak that he could not even withstand a single blow, to retaliate so fiercely. The general laughed loudly and said a few good words. When his gaze met Ye Mei's eyes again, there was an additional solemness.
He also realized that this Ye Mei was not someone to be trifled with.
"General, continue attacking." Ye Mei waved his hand and smiled at the man opposite him. His tone was still as arrogant as before.
"Looks like I underestimated my enemy." The Great General spoke the truth.
Everyone present, other than Li San, felt that Ye Mei would lose without a doubt.
"Take my second move!" This time, he did not call her Charm Doll.
The blade in his hand flashed with a piercing light and a sharp aura emanated from his body. Ye Mei, who was opposite him, smiled indifferently. He straightened his body and sat on the horse, not moving at all.
Everyone was stunned. They looked at each other and saw that the blade had disappeared.”A loud bang suddenly sounded from behind everyone.
The few of them turned around in unison and saw a large tree fall to the ground with a loud bang. The leaves that had just grown fell to the ground. Little Black neighed proudly. Like Ye Mei, its eyes were filled with arrogance.
No one had seen how Ye Mei had dodged this attack, but they all knew that if it were them, it was very likely that they would not be the tree that fell, but themselves.
"Hahahaha!" The great general laughed loudly." Indeed, heroes come from young people.”
"General, you flatter me." Ye Mei returned with a calm expression.
"Everyone, listen to my order. Withdraw from An Ran City and stop fighting for three months!”He shouted at the top of his lungs, and his voice made people's brains rumble.
"General, no!" As soon as these words were said, there were naturally people who were unwilling.
"I, Liang, will naturally keep my word." That general was a man of integrity. He was willing to admit defeat after exchanging two moves with Ye Mei, fulfilling his promise.
"Great General is indeed straightforward. This Ye has given in." In this kind of situation, she naturally would not push and give. Since she had already admitted defeat, Ye Mei was also happy to accept it.
Originally, they had lost three cities, but because of Ye Mei's actions, they had taken back one. However, there were still two cities that fell into the enemy's hands. In this second confrontation, the Yan Country ended in failure again.
However, those people who were gossiping about Ye Mei and Murong Yue were much less. They all had reason to believe that Ye Mei was a rare expert.
However, the two consecutive defeats were still reported to the Emperor of Yan Country, Murong Yi. And the matter of Ye Mei heroically defeating the enemy general was concealed by Murong Yue. Only those who were present that day knew about it, and those people had their mouths sealed by Murong Yue.
The Imperial Court…
Murong Yi's face was ashen as he looked at the group of civil and military officials below. The atmosphere was so stiff that people could not help but want to stay away. Everyone was trembling with fear, afraid that they would accidentally anger the person on the dragon throne.
"Are you all going to stay silent? Or are you waiting for me to say that I will return home for dinner?”Murong Yi's voice sounded faintly. It was obvious that he was very unhappy.
"We are terrified!" The ministers knelt down and said this in tacit understanding.
"Humph!" Murong Yi was obviously tired of hearing this sentence." Duke Xiang has reported that he has fought twice and lost twice. The enemy has already taken down two cities of the Great Yan Kingdom. Why don't you think about what to do? You're still in fear here!”
"We deserve to die!" The ministers repeated the same sentence as they knelt on the ground, trembling. Clearly, they had no countermeasures at all.
Murong Yi was so angry that his lips were trembling. After a while, he was so angry that he only flicked his sleeves.
"Emperor, Wan Er implores the emperor to allow Wan Er to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.”Ye Wan, who had been silent, suddenly walked out and knelt on the ground.
Murong Yi was stunned. He looked at the green figure in front of him and then revealed a gratified smile." It's enough that Wan 'er has this kind of heart. This battlefield is not child's play. You can easily lose your head."”
Ye Wan shook her head with a determined expression," Wan 'er has been practicing mystic energy since she was young so that she could serve the country one day. Now that the Yan Country is in danger, I will definitely protect the country.”
Everyone in the imperial court was moved by these words. No one had expected that these words would come from the mouth of a little girl who was still wet behind her ears. In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Ye Wan and Ye Tianyun. Some were envious of Ye Tianyun for teaching such a good girl, some were jealous, some agreed, some admired Ye Wan, and some mocked her for overestimating herself. All in all, all the different ways of the world were written on these people's faces.
"Good, good, good!" Murong Yi raised his head and laughed loudly. He nodded at her." I will appoint you as the vanguard to assist Duke Xiang. We will set off immediately and strive to take down the enemy in one fell swoop!”
Ye Wan smiled, and her every move was like a hero among women." Ye Wan thanks the Emperor."”
"There's no need to be so polite, Pioneer Ye." Murong Yi said.
The news of Ye Wan being appointed as the vanguard immediately spread to the military camp. In the commander's tent, Murong Yue sat on the main seat with a gloomy expression. He lowered his head to look at the map but his face was filled with frustration.
"Why? Are you unhappy that your fiancée is here to fight against the enemy with you?”Ye Mei's slightly sour voice sounded from behind him.
Murong Yue raised his head and rolled his eyes at her," Don't you know what kind of person your own sister is?”If she came, in less than three months, the Yan Country would be gone. "I wonder if Imperial Father is old and muddle-headed to actually transfer her over.”
Not to mention disturbing the people, he was unruly by nature. Just his ability to pester people all day long was not something that many people could stand.
Ye Mei chuckled a few times and patted Murong Yue's shoulder," Take care of yourself."”She was already prepared to watch a good show. However, this Ye Wan was indeed not well-liked. When they heard that she had been appointed as the vanguard, the entire military camp wailed.
Murong Yue rolled his eyes at her," Do you think that you will have a good life?”From his tone, he sounded like a resentful woman." Don't forget what she saw when she came over that day.”
Hearing him say this, Ye Mei remembered that she had mistakenly thought that he and Murong Yue had a good relationship that day and that was why she ran away. Now that she had volunteered to fight, it definitely wouldn't be as simple as what she said, to protect the country. It was very likely that she still hadn't given up on Murong Yue.
"When she comes, let her fight a battle. We won't interfere. When the time comes, let her suffer a little and she will naturally return.”After thinking for a moment, Ye Mei thought of this worst of a plan.
However, if she did that, she would be breaking her promise to the enemy. She had only agreed to a three-month truce with the enemy.
"Isn't this inappropriate?" Clearly, Murong Yue had also considered this point.
Ye Mei gave him a mysterious smile and raised his eyebrows." You're the Great General.”
"Ah?" Murong Yue looked at Ye Mei in confusion.
"We won't fight. Let our vanguard lead fifty thousand soldiers to spar with their vanguard and fifty thousand soldiers. Seeing that their general was also a warlike and brave person, he would definitely agree.”From Ye Mei's tone, he seemed to be very confident that the other party would agree.
"As for the outcome, I don't know either, but you must protect Ye Wan's safety. She was just a young lady. If she lost, she would definitely panic.”At the end, Ye Mei added another sentence.
Murong Yue looked at her with a strange expression, as if he wanted to use this to find something from her body. However, after staring for a long time, he did not find anything. She was still that ordinary and thin.
"Don't you know not to look at evil!" Ye Mei pouted coquettishly, his little face involuntarily turning red. No matter how indifferent she was, in front of Murong Yue, she would eventually lose her composure and become a little woman.
Of course, Murong Yue was very happy to see this attitude. He smiled warmly at her and was about to speak when he saw the tent being slowly pulled open.
Long Moqing walked in with the person who no one wanted to see.
Ye Wan had changed into a set of green clothes and a set of carefully selected dark red armor. Her hair was neatly tied behind her head, giving her a heroic and valiant feeling. Murong Yue subconsciously compared this Ye Wan with Ye Mei and after a while, he shook his head at Ye Wan. Clearly, he still preferred to look at women like Ye Mei.
"Brother Yue." It was that sweet and greasy voice again. Murong Yue couldn't help but shiver and felt his scalp go numb. However, he still looked calm and collected on the surface. With his hands behind his back, he nodded lightly at Ye Wan.
"You're here." he said.
Ye Wan's face turned red for some reason and she walked over to Murong Yue's side in small steps. Her arm intentionally or unintentionally pulled Ye Mei away," I missed you so much."”She lowered her head and reached out to hold Murong Yue's arm.
Murong Yue's body suddenly stiffened, and his pleading eyes immediately turned to the other two people in the commander's tent. Long Moqing pretended not to see it and walked to Ye Mei, whispering something to her. And Ye Mei merely shrugged his shoulders at him, revealing a helpless look.
"Brother Yue, I am your vanguard now. When the time comes, we will kill the enemy together. You have to protect me.”Ye Wan didn't notice Murong Yue's abnormality at all. She raised her head and looked at Murong Yue with her eyes wide open, revealing a look that she thought was very cute.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
