Chapter 446 Rescue (1)
Lin Zhi was also very angry. She had been in the army for many years, and when had she ever suffered such humiliation? Moreover, she was going to save people, but Murong Feng accused her of rebellion. This was really intolerable!
"Master Military Supervisor, even if you want to arbitrarily accuse us of a crime, shouldn't you at least have evidence? Wouldn't this discourage the soldiers fighting on the front lines? Will they be accused of rebellion in the future, no matter how great their military achievements, with just one word from you?"
Lin Zhi's words left Murong Feng speechless. Looking at the expressions on the faces of the soldiers, they obviously agreed with Lin Zhi's words.
Lin Zhi continued, "The Northern Kingdom's army could arrive at any moment. Without the commander-in-chief, the army's morale will surely weaken. Furthermore, the general went to the enemy camp to completely eliminate those corpses and reduce casualties. If we stand by and watch them perish, then what's the point of holding on to this border town?"
Murong Feng snorted coldly and glanced at her indifferently, "You are quite eloquent."
"It's not that I'm good at talking; this is simply the truth. If you, my Lord, insist on not rescuing them, then I will withdraw from the army. These personal soldiers around me are all my family's retainers. I am leading them out of the city to rescue them in my own name."
Lin Zhi spoke very firmly, showing no sign of compromise. Seeing this, the other generals in the army also said, "We are also willing to withdraw from the army and go together to rescue the general!"
In recent days, Murong Yanhui has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. These men in the army are all upright and loyal people. They have always dared to love and hate. They admire Murong Yanhui's character very much in recent days, so when they heard that the general was in trouble, most of them volunteered to go to the rescue.
Murong Feng quickly calmed down when he saw something was amiss. He reasoned with the people and appealed to their emotions, saying, "Don't get excited, my fellow soldiers. I didn't tell you not to rescue them, but can you really save them if you rush in like this? The general is also my uncle. I'm more worried about him than you are. How could I ignore his safety?"
"So, how do you plan to rescue us, sir?" Lin Zhi pressed. "The general and his men can't wait that long."
"We must rescue them, but we can't do it with such fanfare. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a clear signal to those northerners that we have no troops left? What if they seize the opportunity to attack?"
Murong Feng's words seemed to make some sense. Several generals looked at each other, and then someone asked, "Does the military supervisor have any good ideas?"
"Of course, I've already thought of a plan that will save the young uncle and save everyone from dying in vain!"
"Oh, then tell me about it."
Murong Feng shed the coldness he had when he spoke to everyone at the beginning, and replaced it with his usual gentleness and humility. Many people were won over by his attitude and felt that this military supervisor might really be considering them.
"Comrades, it's almost dawn. The Northern Kingdom might launch a new siege, so we absolutely cannot spare any fighting force in the city. We might as well mobilize thirty elite soldiers, sneak into the Northern Kingdom camp, and rush to rescue them."
The soldiers hesitated. Seeing this, Murong Feng said, "A small-scale sneak in will be smoother than your large-scale one, and it will be harder to be discovered. Don't fight too long. Just save the people and come back."
After repeated persuasion from Murong Feng, several generals began to waver. They even felt that what Murong Feng said made sense. They were so reckless in leading their troops out of the city that they might fall into the enemy's trap.
So after some thought, everyone selected a few elite soldiers from the army and gave them to Linzhi, asking her to take these people back to rescue people.
"I also need to go!"
Murong Yuan, upon learning that Murong Yanhui was trapped, rode over and insisted on joining the rescue team. Murong Feng's face suddenly darkened, "Yuan'er, what are you making a fuss about? This is a battlefield, not a game of playing house. Go back quickly!"
"I'm not going back, I'm going to save people!"
Murong Feng was worried that she would reveal her identity by shouting, so he asked Qiu Hen to tie her up and bring her back to the tent. The selected soldiers also set off quickly and quietly. They sneaked into the boundless snowfield like ghosts in the night. No one was afraid or timid. They bravely headed towards the Northern Kingdom camp.
At this time, the fight on Murong Yanhui's side was already very fierce. Murong Yanhui and Yelu Jin were fighting back and forth, and they were evenly matched with no winner. Yu Lihan and Yu Qingli were very worried watching this, and thought to themselves that it was unfair. It was obvious that the previous battle had consumed a lot of Murong Yanhui's physical strength, otherwise, a mere prince of the Northern Kingdom would not be Murong Yanhui's opponent.
Sure enough, Murong Yanhui turned around neatly and avoided Yelu Jin's attack. Then he swept his long legs and knocked Yelu Jin to the ground. Yelu Jin stood up in a somewhat embarrassed manner, with a murderous aura around him even stronger. His eyes were red, like a devil from hell. On the other hand, Murong Yanhui was dressed in a long gown and still looked like a graceful young man.
Murong Yanhui looked at the dusty Yelu Jin with a haughty expression, "How is it? Your Highness, do you still want to compete?"
"Why not compete? I haven't lost yet!"
"No, you've already lost!"
Murong Yanhui looked at him coldly, and Yelu Jin realized that the clothes on his neck had been cut open. If the other party had not shown mercy, he would have been covered in blood on the spot.
Looking at his own miserable state and then at the other party's immortal figure, Yelu Jin's blood boiled in his body. He was unwilling to accept it. How could he lose to the same person again and again?
Time seemed to have gone back to the war ten years ago. He was a brave young man, and he followed the Northern General to the battle with high spirits, and took the initiative to serve as a vanguard. His ambition was as strong as his blood. He wanted to conquer other races in the world and make everyone submit to him.
However, when he actually went to the battlefield, Yelu Jin found that his ideal was so unrealistic. He couldn't even beat a young general in the opposing army. This was definitely the greatest humiliation for him.
Yelu Jin was unwilling to accept this. He thought he was the strongest and none of the northern soldiers in the army could defeat him. How could someone as strong as him be defeated by a little Canghe boy?
He was unwilling to accept this, so he disregarded military orders and took the initiative to provoke again and again. The result was the tragic defeat of the Northern soldiers and his own tragic ending of almost losing his life. That day, he also saw with his own eyes the slightly sarcastic smile of the man named Murong Yanhui in front of him, followed by a bone-chilling chill and hatred.
"According to our previous agreement, you should let him go."
Murong Yanhui's voice called Yelu Jin back from his memories. He smiled grimly, "Murong Yanhui, did you really win? Why don't you see for yourself?"
Murong Yanhui's face darkened, and his pair of obsidian eyes were as silent as the deep seabed. He had a hunch that something was wrong. He tried to summon his internal strength, but there was no response. His limbs began to feel sore and weak, and the softness that seeped from his bones made him lose the strength to even stand.
Murong Yan used his sword to support himself on the ground, preventing himself from falling in front of Yelu Jin, but the expression on his face was not as relaxed as his posture.
Yu Lihan was furious when he saw this. He stepped forward to support Murong Yanhui and said to Yelu Jin, "You are really despicable!"
"The victor is the king and the loser is the bandit. Don't you understand this principle?"
Yelu Jin straightened his clothes, brushed off the dust on his body, and restored his superior appearance. He waved his sleeves and said, "Take them away!"
Those corpses directly dragged Murong Yanhui and others back. Murong Yanhui signaled Yu Qingli and others not to resist. Besides, given their current condition, they seemed unable to resist.
Things always seem to develop unexpectedly. Just when Yelu Jin was about to take these people back, a ghostly figure jumped out from the darkness. A few cold lights flashed, and those northerners who were escorting Murong Yan back fell down silently. Yelu Jin didn't even get a clear look at the people who came.
"What's going on? Are there any remnants? Go search them!"
Yelu Jin was extremely angry. He was about to take these people into the army. With Murong Yanhui in his hand, he didn't believe that the other party would not retreat. But now, these people didn't even realize that he had helpers. Judging from his methods, this person's martial arts skills were very superb.
What kind of person is he?
"Your Highness, please calm down. I will go search it right away." Yelu Han respectfully led his troops to check.
Yelu Jinze took Murong Yanhui and continued to walk back. Murong Yanhui and others were also very nervous. They knew very well who the contact person was, but how could they rescue the person with just the two of them?
Murong Yanhui turned her eyes and deliberately raised her voice, "Listen to me, everyone. No one is allowed to kill anyone without my order. The Northern Kingdom's Crown Prince just wanted to invite me over for tea. Don't worry."
Murong Yanhui deliberately wanted to convey a message to Yelu Jin that there were many people to support him. He also wanted to convey a message to Xiluo and the others, hoping that they would not take action.
Everything fell silent after Murong Yanhui's voice. Xiluo, who was hiding behind a rock, breathed a long sigh of relief. Her eyes were bright, like a wolf ready to find food. She stared closely at the place where Murong Yanhui and they were detained, calculating how many people she had to kill before she could rescue them. Although she was not good at saving people, killing was her forte.
At this time, Yelu Han was leading his men to search carefully around, but in this vast snowfield, it was pitch black all around, and they really didn't know where the people who had just attacked them were hiding.
