Chapter 314 Ye Lin
Chapter 314 Ye Lin
Although there were only more than twenty people, they managed to charge out with the momentum of thousands of troops.
At this time it was no longer a charge, but a one-sided massacre.
Deputy General Luo was so bloodthirsty that he swung the long sword in his hand with great force, and every time it fell, it brought up a pool of blood.
He seemed tireless, charging into the enemy camp like a mad beast.
Wherever they went, enemies fell one after another, blood splattered everywhere, dyeing the ground beneath their feet red.
And before anyone knew it, Lieutenant General Luo had left the main force in the fierce fighting.
It was the prince who noticed the abnormality of Deputy General Luo in time and shouted: "Don't chase the desperate enemy--"
Although Lieutenant General Luo was already bloodthirsty, as a soldier he always obeyed orders.
So when he heard the prince's cry, Lieutenant General Luo immediately stopped what he was doing. He was breathing heavily, his chest heaving violently, and the crazy fire in his eyes was gradually extinguished and replaced by reason.
Upon seeing this, Chu Ci hurried to the side of Lieutenant General Luo, with a serious look on his face and tightly knit brows, he reached out and felt his pulse.
Then, he quickly took out a brown pill from his bag (in the space), handed it to him, and said without question: "Take it——"
Although Lieutenant General Luo didn't understand why, he knew Chu Ci would not harm him, so he took the pill without hesitation and threw it directly into his mouth.
As soon as he took a sip, he was slightly stunned and muttered to himself: "Sweet?"
Chu Ci smiled complacently, his eyebrows raised slightly, a playful light flashed in his eyes, and he said: "This princess doesn't like to suffer without hardship!"
Upon hearing this, Deputy General Luo's eyes lit up and he said expectantly, "Then will the princess give me another one?"
Chu Ci looked at Deputy General Luo's expression and said angrily, "This fool, he really thinks this is candy!"
Then, Chu Ci's expression became serious. He stared at Deputy General Luo solemnly and warned: "Your body can only withstand this one pill now. If you take more, you will explode and die."
Deputy General Luo was slightly stunned, his face full of disbelief, his eyes wide open, as if he had heard something extremely shocking. Then he stammered, "My Lady Princess, what did you say?"
Chu Ci smiled slightly, but did not answer Deputy General Luo's question. Instead, he was startled and became alert. He stared at the direction of the military camp and said, "Someone is coming from the direction of the military camp!"
Chu Ci's voice was not loud, even a little gentle, but it could not resist Lieutenant General Luo's absolute trust in Chu Ci.
Therefore, as soon as Chu Ci finished speaking, Deputy General Luo shouted in the direction of the Crown Prince without hesitation. The voice was so powerful that it seemed to be able to penetrate layers of obstacles, "Your Highness, our people are here--"
Upon hearing this, the prince and others quickly turned their heads to Chu Ci, their eyes full of eagerness and expectation.
Chu Ci nodded, "I did hear the sound of horse hooves, coming from the direction of the military camp."
At this moment, Chu Ci did not say anything definite. After all, everything was still uncertain before he saw the person in person.
The people present also understood Chu Ci's meaning. Although they were exhausted, physically tired, and their limbs were aching, they still supported each other and stood up.
About five minutes later, Lieutenant General Luo finally saw the person coming. It turned out to be General Zhenbei's personal guard, and also General Zhenbei's eldest son Ye Lin.
Ye Lin grew up in the army and was deeply influenced by the spirit of the Zhenbei Army. He is an upright and loyal person.
Anyone could betray the Zhenbei Army except Ye Lin.
Therefore, when Lieutenant General Luo saw that the person coming was Ye Lin, he immediately put down all his guard, the tension on his face instantly dissipated, and he shouted excitedly: "Major General, it's me, Lao Luo. Lao Luo is back!"
When Ye Lin heard Lieutenant General Luo's voice, his face was instantly filled with surprise.
Then he whipped the warhorse under him several times quickly and hard with the whip. The horse felt the pain and started running away.
In a few breaths, they arrived in front of Lieutenant General Luo.
Ye Lin didn't even have time to catch his breath, and eagerly got off his horse. He then pulled Deputy General Luo and asked impatiently, "Old Luo, are you really here with reinforcements? Where's the food?"
However, when Ye Lin looked around, he found nothing else except a few sparse carts of food and fodder in front of him.
His expression suddenly became miserable, his eyes were red, and he said in a trembling voice: "Lao Luo, are they those people from Beijing..."
No matter how honest and straightforward Lieutenant General Luo was, he knew that he must not let Ye Lin finish his words at this moment.
He made a prompt decision, pulled Ye Lin and walked quickly to the front of the prince, and said in an urgent and respectful tone: "Major General, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
After saying that, without waiting for Ye Lin to respond, he continued anxiously, "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally delivering food and fodder to us?"
The word "food and grass" seemed to have magical power. Ye Lin's originally confused brain finally became clearer.
He came back to his senses in an instant, knelt on one knee, and shouted in a loud and firm voice: "General Ye Lin greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince—"
Even though Chu Ci had promised that food and fodder would be delivered, the prince did not see enough food and fodder along the way.
Therefore, when the prince met Ye Lin's expectant eyes, he felt a little guilty.
Upon seeing this, Chu Ci immediately walked quickly to the prince, leaned close and whispered a few words in a low voice.
After hearing this, the prince calmed down instantly and said immediately: "General Ye, please stand up, but the matter of food and fodder is of great importance. We have just experienced a fierce battle and are exhausted both physically and mentally. Can we go back to the barracks first and make a long-term plan?"
After being reminded by the prince, Ye Lin suddenly came back to his senses and finally remembered the purpose of his trip. Then, he quickly glanced at Deputy General Luo not far away, and a hint of complex emotions flashed in his eyes.
Afterwards, Ye Lin showed a guilty look on his face, clasped his fists, bowed deeply and said: "I'm sorry, it was my recklessness. Your Highness, please--"
After all, they had arrived at the territory of the Zhenbei Army, and Ye Lin was personally escorting them.
There were no further incidents in the subsequent itinerary.
But the prince was still struggling with what Chu Ci said along the way.
After all, anyone who is stared at by the soldiers' expectant and fiery eyes along the way will feel pressured.
The prince finally couldn't suppress his inner anxiety and couldn't help asking Chu Ci: "Princess Yixin, are you sure? Can 300,000 dan of food and grass be transported to the military camp tonight?"
The food and grass are lying quietly in Chuci's space!
Chu Ci naturally dared to give a 120% guarantee.
So, he vowed, "Don't worry, as long as you arrange the place properly. Move the people from the military camp away and don't disturb my people coming in, I guarantee that everyone in the Zhenbei Army will have hot white porridge to drink tomorrow morning."
Hearing Chu Ci's confident words, the prince was inevitably infected by her confidence and determination, and said solemnly: "Okay, then I will believe it this time."
