The elders of Yuxi Village have been worried about Yan Changqing's trip to a foreign land.
Therefore, they paid special attention to the news outside the region. Lin Huaisong and Lin Huaibai became errand boys and had to go out to inquire about the news every two or three days.
The old general and Prince Shen also asked their trusted spies to report any movements outside in a timely manner.
In April, Shen Hou, a priest of the Eagle tribe, led an army coup and proclaimed himself king.
The die-hard followers of the former tribal leader were either detained or killed, and factional power fell apart.
In May, Lanshui surrounded the city with a large army and trapped Prince Darui in the Lanshui Dead Swamp.
At the end of May, a hundred thousand troops gathered at the southern border of Da Rui and pressed towards the Eagle Tribe, and a war was about to break out.
The rest of the tribes outside the region watched the situation develop quietly, sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers, and looking for the right opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Either Da Rui suffers a severe blow, or a pack of wolves seizes the opportunity to attack him in unison, dividing up the big pie they have been coveting for a long time.
Either the Eagle Tribe will never recover, or the wolves will remain silent and take advantage of the situation to eliminate a powerful enemy from outside the realm.
Observe the wind direction before taking any action, and you will not suffer any loss.
The villagers of Yuxi were all worried as they heard news one after another.
Under the big locust tree and next to the banana tree in the village, the old men and women gathered together, talking about the real situation outside, with worried looks on their faces.
"There's a coup and a siege, and I can't get any information from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I don't know what's going on."
"I'm so worried that I can't eat or sleep well... Will the children come back safely?"
"Of course! Your Highness the Crown Prince has the dragon energy to protect him, how can he be hurt by evil spirits? Besides, there are also the Hundred Ministers! The Hundred Ministers are my great auspicious signs! They will surely bring good luck and beat that monkey to his knees and beg for mercy!"
The villagers discussed and worried about these things in private in the village, and indeed did not dare to reveal them to anyone else.
So as not to cause panic.
……
Dead swamp in Lanshui River.
It rains a lot in summer.
It has been raining heavily for several days in a row. It is dangerous to walk at night as the heavy rain makes it difficult to see the road ahead.
The dog lay on the ground, gasping for breath, his body covered with knife wounds, looking miserable.
Within two days of noticing something was amiss, news spread from the royal capital that Shen Hou had declared himself king.
He and his master immediately left Yan Changqing's convoy and sneaked back to the capital. They didn't expect that the bastard Shen Hou had already laid a tight net in the city, waiting for them to surrender.
If it weren't for their master's cleverness, they would never have been able to escape here.
Son of a bitch.
"Damn it, I left the nest for a while, and the inner courtyard caught fire. I was stabbed in the back by my own people."
Turning himself over, Xu Gou grinned bitterly, the rain splashing into his mouth was icy cold, "Master, go find Yan Changqing, save your life first, if you have a chance to catch that bastard Shen Hou in the future, stab him hard for me, then this old dog can rest in peace in the grave."
Yan Changhuai knelt on one knee, looking equally miserable. He fled into the Dead Swamp carrying the dog on his back, and was exhausted after reaching here.
He turned a deaf ear to the words that fell into his ears, raised his head and tried to look deeper into the swamp in the rain, his eyes were dark.
He has been in this area for ten years. For others, it is a dead end, but for him, it is a way of life.
Others can't get out, but he can.
"I knew from the beginning that the monkey was no good! He must have been eyeing the throne for a long time!"
"If Hai Zhu and Zi Rat fall into his hands, I'm afraid they won't end well. It's a pity that I couldn't bring them out with me this time."
"The twelve zodiac animals... half of them sided with the monkey, and the other half didn't have a good ending. Hahaha! Damn it!"
"Master, I'm tired and don't want to move. I'll just accompany you here. Hurry up, or the pursuers will catch up soon. Go! Go!"
The dog cruelly drives people away, using the rain to wash away the heat in its eyes.
He has no strength left.
He could feel his body rapidly losing temperature and strength, and he estimated that in a short while, all the blood in his body would be drained.
Anyway, he was just a wandering orphan. If his life was gone, it was gone. There was nothing to regret.
It’s just a pity that I have followed my master for ten years but have never heard his voice.
Yan Changhuai held Xu Gou's cold wrist, unable to stop trembling, gritted his teeth, and carried the man on his back again.
The dog didn't even have the strength to struggle. His head rested on the man's back, with hot liquid quietly sliding down the corners of his eyes.
Behind us, the pursuit was making more and more noise, and at the same time, arrows were coming from behind.
The sound of breaking air was so loud that even the sound of rain could not drown it out.
"Master, we are dependent on each other, living and dying together, right?" The dog's eyelids slowly closed, and his voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible, "In the next life, the dog will follow you..."
Qiang Qiang——
The sharp arrow was shot down in mid-air.
Yan Changhuai stopped and looked back, just as two flashes of lightning appeared in the sky, illuminating his face.
Rain-covered and pale.
Less than ten feet behind him, two groups of people were fighting in the muddy swamp.
A man walked towards him in the rain, holding a sword in one hand.
He was wearing brocade clothes and a jade crown. He stood straight and walked calmly. Even though he was soaked by rain, he did not look embarrassed.
The aura around him was so powerful and fierce that even lightning seemed to avoid its edge.
All murderous intentions were blocked behind him.
So reliable.
"Chang Huai, I won't leave you alone this time."
Yan Changhuai shook slightly, stared at the young man's face, tears rushing out of his eyes.
Hate and grievance.
...Longhuai tree?
...recognized him?
...coming?
But you are ten years late.
Royal brother.
Yan Changqing walked closer and stuffed a Baixiangzhu into the dying dog's mouth.
"I came out to look for you in a hurry. The reinforcements haven't arrived yet, and there are still four waves of pursuers chasing us. Chang Huai, we need time to mediate. You are familiar with this place, you lead the way." After keeping Xu Gou alive, Yan Changqing looked at the young man with red eyes, "I want to die in this swamp, or walk out alive, you choose."
Die, die, die!
Yan Changhuai's chest heaved violently. If he hadn't been concerned about the injury on his back, he would have wanted to punch the person who was speaking right away.
He bit his tongue hard, turned his head and walked deeper into the swamp.
There was a sudden lightness on my back.
The Xu Dog was taken over by Mo Yi who arrived later in silence.
Afterwards, a strange kind of coolness came out of his mouth. He didn't know what was stuffed in his mouth. After a few breaths, the dissipated strength began to gather again in his body.
Afterwards, in the rainy night, two flares of different colors rose into the sky and exploded.
One yellow and one red.
Outside the swamp, Shen Hou was wearing a cloak and looking up at the red and yellow fireworks exploding and disappearing, with the corners of his mouth curled up coldly.
"All are here. Follow the plan and drive them to their death."
"Yan Changqing, Yan Changhuai. This time I will take your lives as well!"
Just as he finished speaking, he heard a sharp cry coming from the direction of the royal city.
Shen Hou's face changed immediately and he turned his head hurriedly to look.
Southwest of the royal city, fireworks exploded in the sky!
That was the signal flare used by his men! It could only be launched in times of emergency!
There are changes in the royal city!
He left 8,000 elite soldiers in the royal city to defend it. Before any action was taken here, the other side started sending signals to warn and ask for help!
Good, what a great Yan Changqing!
Cut off the firewood from under his feet and raid his lair!
