Chapter 118 A powerful enemy attacks
There was a knock on the door. Ruan Haoyu put the two children on Mu Xiaoqiao's bedside, then called the wet nurse who had been arranged in advance to come in and take care of them, and then he walked out the door.
After learning that Mu Xiaoqiao had given birth to twins, Zhuo Sheng had dispersed everyone, and the courtyard was no longer as lively as before.
But there was a man kneeling in the middle of the yard. When Ruan Haoyu saw him, he was shocked. This was the person he had sent to Jinling City before!
He walked a few steps quickly and came to the man. Seeing that he was almost exhausted and had to use his hands to support the ground to avoid falling down, he hurriedly supported him and said, "Hurry up and talk."
"Young Valley Master, General Li Shuo was betrayed and has been imprisoned. After the Emperor heard about what happened to Young Valley Master's wife, he personally sent the commander of the Imperial Guard, Fang Wei, with 50,000 cavalry to capture him. The cavalry is now less than ten miles away from here. Young Valley Master, please find a way quickly." After struggling to say this, the man fainted due to exhaustion.
Ruan Haoyu asked someone to help him to rest, and looked at Zhuo Sheng and the wizard. At this time, all three of them had serious expressions on their faces.
Fifty thousand! He also sent Fang Wei, the most capable commander of the Imperial Guards!
If the emperor only wanted to capture Mu Xiaoqiao, he would be making a fuss. He might want to wipe out the Medical Immortal Valley. But this move also showed the emperor's determination. He would never allow anyone to threaten his position.
That's right, if he wasn't ruthless, how could he have sought power and usurped the throne? Governing the country well is one thing, and being decisive and rooting out the evil is another. Even though Mu Xiaoqiao never had the intention to restore the country, a man who relied on the palace to get the throne would only judge others by himself. He couldn't possibly trust Mu Xiaoqiao. The only thing that could make him feel at ease was to kill Mu Xiaoqiao and eliminate the trouble forever!
Everyone understood the key point. Zhuo Sheng's face darkened and he said, "The only solution now is to fight to the death. I thought Li Shuo would come. If he came, there would still be room for recovery. Now we can only fight to the death."
Ruan Haoyu shook his head. "No, I can't let Yixian Valley take risks for us. Master, Amu and the two children are entrusted to you. I will go and lead the people away."
“So many people…”
"I have my own way." Ruan Haoyu lifted his clothes and knelt down. "Master, foster father, if I can't come back this time, please help me take good care of Amu and the two children, take them away from here, and tell Amu not to avenge me if anything happens to me."
Zhuo Sheng knew that he was going to sacrifice himself to save everyone in the valley, and he couldn't help but burst into tears. The wizard also turned his head away, feeling grief-stricken.
No matter how brave a person is, he cannot survive if he fights against an army of 50,000 alone.
"But Master and foster father don't have to worry too much. I am not trying to be brave. Besides, I have another plan that I need Master and foster father's help..." Ruan Haoyu explained the plan in a low voice.
"If this plan succeeds, perhaps we can escape this disaster."
Zhuo Sheng nodded repeatedly, "This is a great plan, Haoyu, just go ahead and leave the rest to us."
Ruan Haoyu kowtowed to the two of them again, stood up, looked towards Mu Xiaoqiao's room reluctantly, and turned around and left resolutely.
Amu, since I promised to protect you, I will keep my word!
It was getting dark, there was a gentle breeze, and it was quiet outside the Medical Immortal Valley, without any sound being audible.
Suddenly, a chaotic sound of horse hooves was heard. After a while, the sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, and gradually it became like rolling thunder, coming from far away and coming towards the valley entrance.
When they arrived at the valley entrance, the men reined in their horses. In the front was a man in silver armor. He was tall, with fierce eyes and brows. He was obviously a ruthless character. He was the commander of this trip, the leader of the Royal Guards, Fang Wei!
He waved his hand, and the sound of horse hooves behind him stopped instantly. Another man rode forward and saw Fang Wei looking at the narrow gap in front of him, so he asked, "Commander, is there an ambush?"
Fang Wei snorted coldly, "They are just a bunch of country folk. What can they ambush? Rolling boulders from the top of a mountain?"
The person next to him was the deputy commander-in-chief Li Mingze. Hearing Fang Wei's words, he couldn't help but look up at the top of the mountain. It was pitch black and gloomy, and he couldn't see anything.
"If a big rock really rolls, it won't be easy to hide..."
"They are not that stupid," Fang Wei narrowed his eyes and looked at the narrow gap in the sky. "It is so narrow here. Unless they want to trap themselves to death in the valley, they will never cut off their own retreat."
"That's true," Li Mingze smiled flatteringly, "You are still a wise commander."
"Stop flattering me. Go, light the torches, select the vanguard, and go into the valley to investigate."
Li Mingze agreed and immediately picked out a hundred men as the vanguard. They were very arrogant. Although it was already dark, the hundred vanguards still held torches and began to file into the valley. Fang Wei was determined to take over the Medical Valley in one night and capture Mu Xiaoqiao alive.
The light of the torches in front gradually faded away, and slowly could not be seen at all. Fang Wei ordered everyone to dismount, rest, and wait for news.
Half an hour passed, and there was no movement in front. Fang Wei couldn't help but frowned and turned to ask Li Mingze, "What did the man in Li Shuo's camp say? What's the situation in this Medical Immortal Valley?"
Li Mingze was also somewhat uneasy. "That person did not enter the valley. It was said that Li Shuo was the only one who entered at that time. Later, he was sent out by someone. That person was said to be his illegitimate son and Mu Xiaoqiao's husband. Later, Li Shuo let him go back and warned them not to disclose anything. So he didn't know the situation in the Medical Immortal Valley."
"No wonder the emperor was furious," Fang Wei sneered, "He actually became a family with the traitor of the previous dynasty. Heaven wants him to die, so he can't blame others."
"That's right. The old man Li Shuo still wanted to quibble, but he was directly accused by several of his lieutenants, and he had no way to defend himself." Li Mingze laughed, "It's because he is too arrogant on weekdays. This time he violated the emperor's taboo. I'm afraid it won't be so easy for him to turn things around."
"Let's not worry about him for now. As long as I destroy the Medical Immortal Valley and capture Mu Xiaoqiao and the guy who is said to be his son alive, why should I be afraid of him causing trouble again?" Fang Wei and Li Shuo are sworn enemies in the court.
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement from the people entering the valley. Fang Wei felt something was wrong and said, "Li Mingze, take another team in to investigate. I'm afraid there is something strange in this valley."
"Yes!" Li Mingze selected another two hundred soldiers, and this time he led them into the narrow passage personally.
After the flames disappeared, Fang Wei stared at the valley entrance intently. The entrance to the Medical Valley was really strange. It was difficult for even two people to walk side by side. If there was a person with great kung fu skills blocking the way, it would be easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Then he thought, what is there to be afraid of? I have 50,000 elite soldiers behind me. How many people are there in this Medical Immortal Valley? Even if they fight in a round-the-clock battle, they can easily flatten this valley.
Thinking of this, Fang Wei felt relieved again.
