The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

Chapter 104: Veterans never die, using their lives to protect their former glory

"Ok!"

Madam Xinling had seen Yan Nishang's strength, so she felt relieved to know that she was crossing the river with Ye Feng.

"I will cross the river bridge later. If the other side is safe, I will use torches as a signal. You will arrange your men and horses and begin crossing the river in an orderly manner."

Ye Feng walked to a place not far away and took out a torch.

"go!"

As Ye Feng was the first to step onto the Dahe Bridge, the narrow bridge deck was about 20 to 30 meters away from the river surface. The river water below was turbulent and the sound of the water was so loud that it stimulated people's eardrums and hurt.

The two iron chains were extremely black, but were polished to be smooth and shiny. This bridge over the big river was the only passage leading to Dongyun City among the Eighteen Cities of Yanyun.

Many small vendors and common people travel between Yanyun Eighteen Cities and Dongyun City to do business. Since they cannot cross the river, they can only walk here.

There is no obstruction in the middle where the two chains connect to the bridge deck, and almost the entire bridge deck is suspended in the air. If you are not careful, you may fall off the bridge.

There was also the sound of howling wind in my ears, which made the entire cable bridge sway from side to side, as if it was about to collapse.

"Brother, I'll go first!"

Dashan had a simple smile on his face. He was worried that there were soldiers guarding the other side of the bridge, or that there was a trap, and he didn't want Ye Feng to take the risk by walking in front.

The burly figure squeezed past Ye Feng and came to the front. He grabbed the chains on both sides with both hands and walked forward step by step.

Ye Feng did not argue with Dashan. Yan Nishang followed Ye Feng behind him. She couldn't help but look solemn in the depths of her eyes. This bridge was really too dangerous.

However, Yan Nishang was a land immortal with cultivation and had comprehended the Great Way of Ice. Even if she fell, she could use her cultivation or the Great Way of Ice to stay safe. But Ye Feng in front of her had no cultivation at all, and her heart, which was as calm as water, suddenly became a little worried.

woo woo woo woo……

The three of them walked to the middle of the river bridge. The sound of the wind in their ears became stronger and stronger, as if it was going to blow the entire iron chain bridge up and make it shake.

In the middle of the Jinling River, the water became more turbulent. With the faint night light, one could vaguely see huge rocks surrounding the river. If one fell and hit the rocks, he would probably die on the spot.

Dashan was walking in front. When he was a child, he lived with wolves in the mountains and forests. He liked this kind of dark night even more and had no fear at all.

Ye Feng was the Chinese God of War in his previous life. Although the river bridge in front of him was dangerous, it was nothing compared to the places of death he had been to.

chi chi chi...

Yan Nishang was a powerful land immortal. She walked on the floating bridge with surprise in her eyes. She had thought that Ye Feng had no skills at all and would appear flustered or unstable when walking on the river bridge.

Unexpectedly, Ye Feng walked in front with steady steps, showing no sign of panic at all. He couldn't help but think to himself, "It seems that I have been worrying for nothing!"

When I think about how worried I was before, I can’t help but feel that it was a bit unnecessary.

"Captain Xu, why are we guarding this broken bridge? The Eighteen Cities of Yanyun are all ours now, and no enemy will come from here."

At the edge of the Dahe Bridge, there are two tents, which are the sentries arranged at the Dahe Bridge.

A cold wind blew, and a soldier shrank his body and wanted to go into the tent to rest.

Xu Peng was the captain in charge of guarding the Dahe Bridge. He said, "Don't be careless. You all know that General Zhangtai was defeated and his family was confiscated and exterminated. We will do whatever the higher-ups tell us to do. Even if they hold us responsible, it won't be our fault."

"Why do I feel that the Dahe Bridge is shaking much more than last night?" On the other side, an old soldier frowned slightly and stood up with the help of the chain, only half of his left foot was left.

In the armies of various countries, guarding river bridges and keeping watch on various tasks will eventually be assigned to soldiers who are older, have declining combat effectiveness, or are seriously injured.

"Old Zhu, don't scare yourself. In this dark and windy night, anyone who dares to walk on the river bridge will fall down and die."

The soldier who spoke just now couldn't help laughing when he heard what the veteran Lao Zhu said. He didn't think that anyone would be willing to walk across the river bridge in front of them so late at night.

"No!" Old Zhu's face turned ugly. He was seen holding the iron chain and hopping with his other foot to the Dahe Bridge. He closed his eyes and kept feeling the shaking of the Dahe Bridge. Then he opened his eyes and looked at Captain Xu not far away. He said, "Captain Xu, based on my decades of experience in guarding the Dahe Bridge, there must be someone on the bridge, and he is walking towards us."

"No way?"

When Xu Peng saw Lao Zhu's appearance, he did not dare to be careless.

You should know that Lao Zhu joined the army at the age of fifteen and left the army at the age of thirty-five due to serious injuries.

For so many years, he has been in charge of guarding the Dahe Bridge, and any disturbance cannot escape his perception.

"Footsteps!"

Old Zhu was lying on the river bridge, with his ear gently pressed against the bridge surface. He suddenly stood up and said, "Captain Xu... hurry up and report. There are footsteps."

Xu Peng's face also became solemn. At such a late hour in the night, ordinary people would not walk across the Dahe Bridge. There was only one possibility: the enemy!

"Wu Mai, go to the City Lord's Mansion and report quickly."

Xu Peng gave orders to the soldier just now.

Bang!

Upon hearing this, Wu Mai turned around and ran towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Ye Feng and the other two had already come to a place two or three meters away from the river bank. They all heard clearly the conversation between Lao Zhu, Xu Peng and others.

Dashan was already prepared. He took a step forward, jumped high into the air, and landed on the other side of the river at an extremely fast speed. He clawed at Wu Mai, who turned around to report the news, and tore him apart fiercely.

Wu Mai was killed by Dashan before he could even let out a scream.

"Enemy attack!"

When Xu Peng saw that Dashan was so ferocious, he shouted loudly.

A dozen soldiers around rushed out of the tent one after another.

Bang bang!

However, their strength was too weak and they were no match for Dashan and were easily killed by him.

"Are you the army of the Song Dynasty?"

When Old Zhu saw Ye Feng, Dashan and the other three, he asked directly.

"Yes! I am Ye Feng, the emperor of the Song Dynasty."

When Ye Feng heard what Lao Zhu said and saw that one of the other party's legs was cut off, he knew that the other party was a veteran who had fought for the Wei Dynasty.

"So you are Commander Ye Feng..." Old Zhu had obviously heard of Ye Feng's name, and said dejectedly, "The current emperor is a man of great talent, but it's a pity that she is too cruel and ruthless. She watched helplessly send a man of your talent to the Song Dynasty. It's really a tragedy for our Wei Dynasty."

Almost everyone in the entire Wei Dynasty army admired Ye Feng very much.

Since Ye Feng became the commander, military salaries have never been delayed or deducted.

"Surrender to the Song Dynasty. You will be responsible for guarding the Dahe Bridge and serve as the captain in the future?" Ye Feng said to Lao Zhu. The fact that he could detect the movement on the bridge in advance showed that he was serious, careful and responsible. Most importantly, he was a veteran who was wounded on the battlefield.

"Surrender?" Upon hearing this, Old Zhu was stunned at first, then he burst into laughter and said, "I have fought for the Wei Dynasty for twenty years, and I have given the best years of my life to it. Even though I am a cripple now, I still have my glory. If I surrender, it would be a humiliation to my first half of military career."

"You are all enemies, you deserve to die!"

Old Zhu's voice was sonorous and powerful, his eyes were firm, and he rushed towards Ye Feng after he finished speaking.

Ye Feng shook his head, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"Hey!"

The emperor drew out his sword and killed Zhu with one strike, cleanly and efficiently.

Being able to die in his own hands can be regarded as fulfilling the glory that he guarded with his life.
