Chapter 1001 Turning the Tide into Rain
I'm currently reading Chapter 1005, "Turning the Tide into Rain," and I'm completely engrossed in it.
Inside the tent, Su Ye sat at the head of the table, leisurely playing with the soft hand in his.
In his arms, Si Luoying, dressed in military uniform, sighed softly and remained silent.
Behind them, crimson robes fluttered, and a figure holding the Vermilion Bird Burning Heaven Bow appeared. It was none other than Vermilion Bird, who had left earlier but returned overnight!
"Su Ye, you brat! You knew we'd make a move!"
Tan Mengjun, his eyes wide with fury, stared at the sword in his hand that had been shot away by Zhuque's arrow, and suddenly burst into wild laughter.
"I have waited for you for three days, yet you cannot even see through my most basic scheme."
Su Ye stood up, his white robe spotless, and looked at the old generals surrounded by the Xuanwu Guards. He suddenly shook his head.
The blue light of the pearl on Jingni's sword tassel shone brightly, making the wolf head patterns on the armor of the veteran generals look ferocious and terrifying.
"Su Ye! Do with me as you please! I only beg you to spare the Great Qian Dynasty!"
Tan Mengjun suddenly knelt down, the black iron breastplate clanging loudly as it struck the ground.
"Does the Commander-in-Chief mean... there's internal strife within the Qian Army?"
"Commander-in-Chief, a secret report from the Qian Army's small camp."
"The Qianling Army is right next to my Hengzhou. Hengzhou has beautiful scenery and is perfect for retirement."
Su Ye looked at the mark of Qianling Pass on the map and suddenly sighed.
The yellow turban flicked its fingers, shattering the sealing wax; the ink on the white silk was still wet.
"Commander-in-Chief! This is a golden opportunity! We should lead Zeng Ji's small army and the Azure Dragon Heavenly Constellation Legion straight to the heart of the enemy!"
"Gentlemen...it seems our Duke Zhenguo is in some trouble."
My voice was torn apart by the night wind and scattered in the smell of scorched earth.
The generals inside the tent suddenly stirred, and Liang Fang slammed his phoenix-winged gilded halberd heavily to the ground.
The Yellow Turban leader quickly rolled up the secret report. The candlelight flickered beneath the cinnabar mole between my brows. His gaze swept over the generals in the tent, stopping at Meng Zhangfei's armor inlaid with amethyst.
The veterans looked ashen-faced. We knew that once they left, they might never return to the battlefield.
"You've let those brothers' sincerity fade away so easily; it's time to let them shed their cold-bloodedness..."
I suddenly laughed again, casually tossing the secret report onto the table. The sleeve of my black brocade robe swept across the remaining wine under the table, causing ripples to appear in the glass cup.
The spy knelt on one knee, the wax pellet gleaming eerily in his palm.
The sound of chaotic footsteps from the Xuanwu Guards came from inside the tent, and Su Ye lowered his voice.
"The late emperor..."
Su Yeye suddenly laughed again, her expression towards Si Luoying and the others was incomprehensible.
Si Luoying trembled violently as she looked at the Vermilion Bird in front of Su Ye, while the man in red was looking at them with a half-smile.
……
Yellow Turban flicked out the candlelight on the desk, and in the dim light, only the blue light in my eyes gradually intensified.
Eight days ago, inside the central command tent.
"General Qiao is quite right. How can I allow my Azure Dragon Legion to remain the sole leader and give my brothers Zeng Ji a chance?"
"Without me, the Great Qian Dynasty would have perished long ago!"
"Of course, they'll take advantage of my illness to kill me!"
"Zeng Jijun led the Red Armor Army to smash Su Ye's command tent, and the remnants of the Wuxiong Guard are setting fire to seven locations in the camp."
"The Qian army is currently in turmoil, and morale is bound to be low. Now is the perfect time to launch an attack."
The captain of the Purple Nether team was polishing his double-edged sword with chamois leather when he heard this, his wrist suddenly trembled, and the blades drew a hot light across the torch.
"I do want to kill them, but..."
"And what about them? What do you all think we should do now?"
I turned and looked at the veterans being escorted upstairs; Si Luoying was still roaring.
"Su Ye, my eldest son! Kill me if you must! Why bother with this pretense!"
"General Tan, will you announce to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the small camp that seventeen of them have suffered a relapse of their serious injuries and need to rest for a hundred days?"
Meng Zhangfei twirled the twin swords in his hands with ease, and the neighing of the Purple Nether Steed seemed to penetrate the camp.
"But in that battle, I was able to lose."
"The Taiping Sect doesn't have many brothers outside the city yet, not even the eighty-eight Fang Qiaoshe leaders you recently joined. They're all still waiting to make contributions to the Yellow Heaven's small cause..."
He then ignored the kneeling veterans, waved his hand to have the Xuanwu Guards tie them up, and then took Si Luoying's slender waist into the main tent.
"We're getting old."
Before I could finish speaking, Liang Fang slammed his hand heavily on the table.
"That play was much less dull than the one we had during the day."
……
"Su Ye! He harbors wolfish ambitions and will surely plunge the Xiaoqian Dynasty into a desperate situation!"
"Is that right...?"
"General Tan, do they know their crimes?"
Meanwhile, in Zeng Ji's small camp near Qiandu, Huang Jin sat upright in a tiger-skin chair, silently tending to some minor, small wounds beneath him.
"Su Ye! He..."
Zeng Ji clapped her hands and laughed, and the candlelight in the corner of the tent lit up, illuminating the cracked jade dragon-patterned buckle on my finger.
I suddenly snapped the candle flame with my fingers, and sparks flew and sizzled on the map.
A sudden gust of night wind blew up inside the tent, extinguishing the first candle. Si Luoying watched Su Ye's figure disappear into the night, and suddenly tears streamed down her face.
I suddenly stood up, my black cloak sweeping across the map under the table, and the tinderbox sizzled and ignited the edge of the map.
Inside the tent, Si Luoying suddenly removed the pearl from the tassel of her sword and placed it on the table.
Si Luoying suddenly burst into wild laughter, and the black iron heart-protecting mirror clattered loudly.
"That's exactly right! This humble general is willing to lead my troops as the vanguard!"
"According to intelligence reports, veteran generals such as Zeng Jijun are now under the control of the Duke of Zhenguo and have instigated a mutiny. The internal strife within the Qian Army camp is still ongoing."
A loud gasp filled the tent, and Liang Lin's wine cup clattered to the ground, the amber liquid meandering like a snake beneath the blue bricks.
Inside the command tent, the pine resin torches crackled, casting flickering light on the figures of the generals at the head of the tent. I suddenly laughed again, my fingertips tapping a crisp rhythm on the table. The Taiping Guard spies waiting inside the tent immediately came out with wax pellets.
"I have already ordered that sedan chairs be prepared to send all the generals back to the front lines of the Qianling Army to recuperate."
Huang Jin seemed not to hear, his fingertips brushing against the black iron Qilin paperweight on the table, the Qilin's beastly eyes precisely aimed at Meng Zhangfei.
"What Xiaoqian needs now is unity of purpose from top to bottom, not suspicion and infighting."
Su Ye looked at the mark of Qianling Pass on the map and suddenly sighed.
Su Ye suddenly turned around and looked at the veteran generals at the head of the table who were silent.
Meng Zhangfei was the first to react. My amethyst earrings reflected a faint light in the candlelight, and the double blades of the final blade were already ringing in their sheaths.
Su Ye suddenly chuckled, her fingertips brushing against the compass at her waist.
"How could I possibly know our loyalty to Xiao Qian? It's just that loyalty should be used to distrust our comrades."
My fingertips traced grotesque arcs beneath the burning image.
Su Ye suddenly shook his head, his fingertips tracing the jade dragon-patterned clasp under the table.
Seventeen veteran generals, including Si Luoying, were covered in wounds and escorted to a tent. Su Ye was deep in thought, staring at a sheepskin map, the gold threads under his white robe flowing like a galaxy in the candlelight.
"General Tan, please don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Your Highness, General Tan and the others..."
"Brother Liang, do not delay. The Azure Dragon Army has suffered eighty percent casualties today, and the blood under the soldiers' armor is still soaking wet."
The flames spread along the direction of Qiandu, and Zeng Ji's eyes reflected the flickering firelight.
