Chapter 110: Anger and Murder
Chapter 110: Anger and Murder
In the end, Lu Yunyi took the jade pendant.
As for how to deal with it, he wanted to wait until he was settled down and had a good night's sleep before considering it.
His head was dizzy now, and his whole body exuded a sense of depression and fatigue, as well as a hint of hostility.
Lu Yunyi stood quietly at the entrance of the king's tent, expressionless.
The princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty stood beside Usar Khan, helping him to tidy up his appearance quietly.
It was as if nothing had happened.
In the central army, outside the king's tent,
Yu Tongyuan, covered in blood and dirt, came back angrily.
After learning that Usar Khan died here and that the military tent with purple curtains was not the royal tent,
He was so furious that he wanted to kill Lu Yunyi on the spot!
He rushed back at this moment just to ask Lu Yunyi why he wanted to block his path to promotion!
"Lu Yunyi! Where is Lu Yunyi!!"
More than a hundred people rushed over and surrounded Yu Tongyuan in the center.
When Yu Tongyuan entered the central army and saw the huge royal tent covered with eagle feathers and painted with totems,
He even had a feeling that only someone so majestic was worthy of the title of Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
He lost nearly 3,000 soldiers to break through the army, and the so-called "king's tent" he arrived at was full of petty-mindedness.
And among them...are all things used by women.
Yu Tongyuan's eyes widened, he pulled over a soldier, grabbed him by the collar, and shouted:
"Where is Lu Yunyi?"
"What does Commander Yu want from me?"
A cold voice came from the king's tent on one side, and many eyes turned over.
A tall, serious-looking young general in armor came out of the military tent.
Yu Tongyuan put his hands on his waist, his eyes were cold, he raised his finger and pointed at Lu Yunyi, a cruel smile appeared on his face:
"Okay, you still dare to come out? Catch him for me!"
When the soldiers behind him heard the order, they rushed forward and were about to pin Lu Yunyi to the ground.
Seeing this, Lu Yunyi frowned slightly. In the army, those who disobey orders and contradict their superiors shall be executed.
At this time, he did not expect that Yu Tongyuan would be so direct.
Seeing the two soldiers coming aggressively, Lu Yunyi's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
No matter what, we can't just sit there and wait for death.
He exerted a little force on one foot, jumped back, and spoke in a cold voice:
"I am under the order of the general to guard the princess. No one is allowed to approach.
If you come forward again, it will be regarded as disobeying military orders and you will be executed according to the law."
After these words were spoken, the two soldiers who were rushing forward paused, a hint of hesitation flashed across their expressions.
But when he heard no sound coming from behind him, the hesitation in his eyes disappeared completely.
With a lunge forward, the speed even increased a bit.
Lu Yunyi frowned, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
The Ming Dynasty was newly established, and these military leaders were deeply rooted. Soldiers and generals had long been favored and humiliated by each other.
There may even be cases where one only cares about the higher position but not about the affairs of His Majesty.
The Yutongyuan in front of us is one of the largest hills in the army.
Belonging to the "Chaohu Navy", it is not surprising that there are many loyal people in its army.
Seeing the two people in front getting closer and closer, Lu Yunyi's eyes flashed with ferocity, and the long sword at his waist flashed with a cold light and came out of the sheath!
He is now the confidant of General Lan Yu, a member of the Crown Prince's party, and the vanguard of the land survey and the drawing of the Yellow Book of Fish Scales in the future.
How can you be a coward?
Lu Yunyi swung the long knife in his hand and suddenly drew a semicircle in front of his chest.
The blade flashed past the two men's eyes, leaving them stunned in place!
"If you take another step forward, I'll kill you without mercy!"
Lu Yunyi's subordinates came from all directions.
Liu Heiying and Wu Fuliu glared at each other, with the long swords in their hands already drawn.
But Lu Yunyi's eyes flashed, and he raised his hand suddenly:
"Stop and do your thing."
Liu Heiying and Wu Fuliu suddenly stopped, their faces changing back and forth, revealing their anxiety.
"Go do your thing!" Lu Yunyi's voice became louder, echoing around the king's tent.
As a close friend for many years, Brother Yuner must have a purpose for doing this.
Liu Heiying thought for a moment and waved his hand vigorously:
"It's gone, it's gone!"
The soldiers dispersed little by little, but Liu Heiying and Wu Fuliu did not go far. Instead, they stood quietly in the distance.
He pretended to be cleaning up the wreckage, but kept glancing at the front of the king's tent.
Seeing this, Lu Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief.
He has made great contributions, and he disobeyed the order alone, so at most he will be punished.
If soldiers get involved, they will easily become discarded pawns in the fight between the bigwigs.
Lu Yunyi attaches great importance to these soldiers, as they are the foundation of his future life.
Yu Tongyuan, who was standing in the crowd, narrowed his eyes.
Looking at Lu Yunyi back and forth, just based on his calm and fearless appearance at this moment, he was much better than some of the noble children in the capital.
But it's useless.
Yu Tongyuan walked slowly, came in front of everyone, stared at Lu Yunyi coldly, and asked in a cold voice:
"You asked your soldiers to tell me the wrong direction? Do you know why you did that?
The false report of military orders caused the loss of more than 3,000 soldiers and horses.
I even wondered if you were a spy from the grassland, deliberately trying to avoid me!"
Lu Yunyi's face was calm, but there was a hint of confusion in his eyes. He stared at Yu Tongyuan's face with a puzzled look on his face:
"What did Commander Yu say? The attack from the west was done by Commander Yu alone. What does this have to do with me?"
Yu Tongyuan's face was gloomy. He half lowered his head and stared at Lu Yunyi from the side, and then looked at the king's tent behind him:
"The king's tent is here, not in the west,
It was you who asked the soldiers to tell me false military intelligence. Do you know what is the crime of lying about military intelligence? Your whole family shall be sentenced to death!"
Yu Tongyuan's face suddenly turned violent. He waved his hand vigorously, and his voice was filled with unquestionable majesty:
"Get it for me!"
However, Lu Yunyi just smiled coldly. There was no fear in his eyes, only determination.
He slowly raised the long sword in his hand. The sword light was as bright as autumn water, reflecting his resolute face.
"This is the grassland king's tent. Anyone who takes a step forward will be killed and considered treasonous."
Lu Yunyi's voice was deep and powerful, with no room for doubt.
Facing the soldiers rushing towards him, he did not choose to retreat.
Instead, he took the initiative to meet the soldiers who were approaching step by step with long spears and short blades.
With the first loud sound of weapons clashing, the battle broke out instantly.
Lu Yunyi's long sword was like a dragon emerging from the sea, cutting through the air and going straight for the throat of a soldier.
The soldier felt a flash before his eyes, and saw a pair of cold and murderous eyes.
There was a bloody mark on his neck, and then he showed astonishment, staggered, and took two steps back.
He fell heavily to the ground without even the chance to call for help!
The soldiers who were about to charge forward were horrified.
Standing still, with surprise in his eyes
Even Yu Tongyuan looked surprised. He didn't expect that Lu Yunyi would actually dare to kill someone.
Before he could speak, Lu Yunyi's voice rang out again:
"I am guarding the king's tent under the order of the general. Anyone who enters will die."
"Lu Yunyi lied about military intelligence and killed soldiers without authorization. Capture him!!!"
Yu Tongyuan was getting more and more angry. The opportunity to be conferred a title was slipping away before his eyes.
How could he be willing to see all these years of preparation go to waste!
For this opportunity, he used the favors of his deceased elder brother and father.
Through Liao Quan, the son of the late Liao Yongzhong, Marquis of Deqing, who was also a naval commander in Chaohu,
He got the favor of Xin Guogong's eldest daughter Tang Shi, and through Tang Shi, he got Xin Guogong.
After much effort, he finally found the Duke of Ying.
This gave him an opportunity to join the army and make merit.
In order to win the first place in this battle, he paid a huge price.
Only then did Zhao Yong, the Marquis of Nanxiong, who was also a naval general of Chaohu, give up his position voluntarily, and let him take the lead in the attack!
Otherwise, with Zhao Yong's qualifications and military achievements, he could be anywhere he wanted.
Why go to the periphery to stop the enemy and do this thankless task?
Whenever Yu Tongyuan thought of the price he had to pay, his heart was bleeding. Not only did he spend millions of dollars, but he also had to sacrifice the few favors he had.
What made him even more angry was that things had not been done yet!
He did achieve success, as he defeated the royal guards and captured many Northern Yuan dignitaries, but it was still not great enough!
All the Northern Yuan nobles combined are not as powerful as Usar Khan alone.
The mastermind behind all this is the person in front of us!!
Taking a deep breath, Yu Tongyuan was unable to calm down.
He suddenly felt a little self-deprecating.
His Yu family can be said to be able to call the wind and rain in the army.
Although he was the deputy governor, everyone knew the reason why he could not be granted a title.
The nobles in the army always treated him as a noble.
But without the red book and iron certificate, he would still be inferior to others. How could he be calm? !
Yu Tongyuan's eyes gradually showed murderous intent, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.
His tall body was so oppressive that the soldiers around him felt uncomfortable.
“Take it down!!”
Yu Tongyuan gnashed his teeth, and some of his trusted generals were shocked.
I wanted to stop him, but I didn't know what to say.
The soldiers received the orders from their commander.
Naturally, he didn't hesitate and rushed forward after shouting "Kill".
Lu Yunyi stood alone in front of the king's tent, looking a little frail.
But seeing Yu Tongyuan like that, he didn't dare to let his soldiers move forward!
Lu Yunyi held his breath and concentrated, adjusting his breathing.
Facing the soldiers charging forward, he fixed his eyes and took a step forward.
The long sword in his hand slashed from below, leaving silver trails in the air.
The soldier wanted to resist, but the huge force made his face change drastically, and the long sword in his hand flew backwards!
Seeing this, Lu Yunyi's pupils suddenly contracted, and the muscles in his hands swelled violently, and the force of swinging the knife stopped abruptly.
Then, to everyone's surprise, he turned back and swung his hand heavily!
flutter
The knife was so powerful that it pierced through the soldier's long hair.
It passed through the gap in his head armor and his neck, bringing out a large amount of blood!
Blood splattered, the head fell to the ground, and bloodstains appeared on Lu Yunyi's face.
Compared with before, Lu Yunyi's methods are more brutal and the effects are extremely obvious.
Some soldiers stopped again and stared at the headless body lying on the ground.
The war is over, and they all have military merits to their credit.
I am just waiting to go back and receive the reward, and live a good life.
It would be a great loss if I lost my life at the hands of my own people.
Most of those who have this idea are not Yu Tongyuan’s direct descendants. The real direct descendants have already rushed over!
One of them was waving a spear in his hand, and the spear flowers were like a curtain, making a whirring sound, which made Lu Yunyi's cheek hurt.
An inch longer means an inch stronger, and this is especially true in the military.
But Lu Yunyi was not afraid. When dealing with such long weapons, he liked to subdue them by force.
With his eyes fixed, Lu Yunyi clenched his fists, tightly gripped the hilt of the knife, poured all his strength into it, and slashed out!
when--
With a cicada chirp, the spear flew out of his hand in an instant.
As if he had foreseen this scene, Lu Yunyi took a light step and quickly moved closer.
He arrived in front of the man in an instant, and stabbed out with his long sword to the soldier's astonishment!
Phew,
The sound of the long knife piercing flesh and blood could not be suppressed, and red and white substances dripped bit by bit along with the tip of the knife.
The soldier was stunned and was killed without any reaction.
The soldiers around were horrified. The dead man was a top-notch fighter in the army.
In the previous battle, he killed eight people, and his centurion team was reduced to 300.
Now he died in such an unclear manner?
The soldiers around him sighed and groaned, fear welling up in their hearts.
But no matter what, military orders must be executed!
The scene became increasingly chaotic, with each swing of Lu Yunyi's sword accompanied by the fall of a figure.
His sword skills are fast and accurate, fierce and steady.
When being attacked from both sides, they always sacrifice their lives to gain a gap.
Slowly, the land in front of the king's tent was stained red with blood, and more than a dozen soldiers fell to the ground in miserable shapes.
Although the soldiers were numerous, they were unable to reach their destination due to the terrain and their concerns.
But in front of Lu Yunyi, he seemed so powerless.
They were either cut in half or fell to the ground seriously injured. Wailing and screaming could be heard one after another, and the whole camp was shrouded in this bloody atmosphere.
The soldiers around were staring blankly. There were more than 1,500 scouts in the central army.
Seeing Shangguan being besieged like this, some soldiers had already drawn their longbows, and they were filled with a dangerous aura.
As long as you give the order, they will rush forward!
Liu Heiying no longer used his peripheral vision, but stared at the battlefield intently.
According to his understanding, these people won't be able to gain any advantage just by getting close to them.
But what you fear will come true.
As Yu Tongyuan watched Lu Yunyi becoming more and more courageous as the battle went on, his rage became even more intense, and he felt a deep fear.
He knew why all the dukes and princes in the army liked this man.
Knowing etiquette, having skills, and being able to fight,
If this person were one of his subordinates, they would have surely won the battle and would have obtained the title of Marquis long ago.
The means displayed by this boy will definitely cause disaster in the future if left unchecked!
Yu Tongyuan turned his head to look at the soldier holding a longbow and shouted:
"Aim, shoot with bows and crossbows!"
Lu Yunyi looked at the corpses on the ground. The lining of his armor was soaked with blood.
He did not feel the slightest joy in his heart, but instead felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
If he had bows and crossbows, he would be powerless to resist and could only summon soldiers.
This meaningless fight was a continuation of the power struggle and was also his original means of self-protection.
His pupils were fixed on the soldier holding a crossbow on one side.
With a sigh, he decided to make a big deal out of this matter.
The most likely outcome of a soldier-soldiers fight was thirty lashes of the board.
He might be fine, but the soldiers would be in trouble.
Just when Lu Yunyi wanted to gather the soldiers,
The curtain of the royal tent behind him was lifted, and the Beiyuan Princess stood there calmly with a calm face.
She was not wearing plain clothes or makeup like before.
At this moment, she had already changed into the empress's court dress that belonged exclusively to the Yuan court.
The clothes are mainly in deep blue, with intricate and delicate dragon and phoenix patterns embroidered on them.
The golden and silver threads sparkled brightly under the slowly rising sun, and the royal nobility was overwhelming!
The collar and cuffs of the court dress are embroidered with the totem of the Yuan Dynasty, and the delicate cloud shoulders and wide horseshoe sleeves are full of elegance.
Her hair was inlaid with sparkling gems and pearls, which made her look more elegant and graceful.
The princess had a beautiful and refined face, her eyebrows revealed nobility, her eyes were deep and gentle, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
It is not only about being warm to the people around you, but also about being calm and confident in your own identity.
She just stood quietly at the entrance of the king's tent, next to Lu Yunyi.
Lu Yunyi immediately understood the intention of the Princess of Beiyuan, and his eyes widened slightly.
He quickly moved his body to the side, exposing the princess halfway.
As a result, the soldiers who had been ready to fight suddenly widened their eyes, quickly put down their bows and crossbows, and aimed at the ground.
Yu Tongyuan's eyes widened, and his reaction was a little slow. He quickly ordered the soldiers around him:
"stop!!"
It was obvious that they had already lowered their bows and crossbows, and a surge of anger surged in their hearts!!!
"Oh shit."
Yu Tongyuan cursed loudly, and the soldiers around him breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was cursing Lu Yunyi.
At this moment, the sky was gradually dyed with a gentle blue-purple color, and the peaceful and tranquil sun slowly rose from the cold.
The first ray of warm and bright sunshine was spread over the vast grassland.
The first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist like a thin thread and gently and tenderly touched the Princess of Beiyuan.
The sunlight danced on her robe, and the golden light intertwined with the gold and silver threads on her court dress.
It emits a dazzling but not glaring light, giving the entire person's outline a layer of sacred glow.
Lu Yunyi stood beside it, and the dim blood light became brighter.
At this moment, I don't know how many people have an illusion in their trance.
Lu Yunyi was the last general who fought to the death to protect Beiyuan.
The princess's face looked even more beautiful and elegant in the morning light, and her eyes seemed to be illuminated by the rising sun, flashing a warm and firm light.
The corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she looked towards Yu Tongyuan in the distance, her voice clear and pleasant:
"Since the king's court surrendered, why did he have to kill them all?"
