Rebirth of the Poisonous Girl

Gong Yuanhao led the remnant army back to the camp in panic, only to see the thousands of sergeants who were left behind lying on their backs on the ground. There were no signs of fighting at the scene. There were small blood marks on the necks of those sergeants. It was obvious that they had been silently killed.

However, all the tents and the burned food and grass in five places have been reduced to ashes, and thick smoke drifts away in the wind.

Gong Yuanhao was so angry that he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. His body shook violently and he almost fell off his horse. His pale and tired face instantly turned pale and blue.

"Your Majesty..." The expressions of the generals on the left and right suddenly changed, and they stepped forward to help him.

Waving his hand to stop everyone's support, Gong Yuanhao took out the brocade handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, but soon more blood spilled out. He had to cover his lips with the brocade handkerchief, trying his best to suppress the sweetness that kept rising in his throat.

, said in a deep voice: "Check how many soldiers and horses we still have."

"General, I will obey your orders!" Several people left immediately.

Gong Yuanhao was sitting on his horse, and he could only feel the rustling of fallen leaves in the wind. The shadows of trees not far away were swaying in the wind, which made people feel desolate and desolate. He looked up and saw the wheels hanging in the night sky.

The crescent moon exuded a cold light, but upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a faint hint of blood in the light, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

Not long after, several generals came back, looking at Gong Yuanhao who was looking up at the sky, his lips moved but he didn't know what to say.

"How many more soldiers and horses are there?" He looked back at the sky and saw that the expressions of several people were heavy and gloomy. Gong Yuanhao's eyes gradually became clear.

A strong general who was pushed out gave the others a fierce look, then lowered his head and said cautiously: "Go back to your lord, there are still 210,000 including the wounded."

"Two hundred thousand?" Gong Yuanhao's face turned extremely ugly after hearing this.

They rose up with an army of 400,000, and in six fierce battles with Duan Fanghong, they only suffered about 100,000 casualties. Unexpectedly, they actually lost 90,000 in this battle. How could this not make him shocked and angry?

Several generals were also frightened.

Gong Yuanhao's confidant Lei Fangfang hesitated for a while and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the so-called leaving green hills without worrying about having firewood, our foundation is in Jiuyuan County, why don't we retreat to Jiuyuan County for the time being, firstly to avoid its sharp edges,

The second is to discuss a detailed plan to make a comeback."

"Go back?" Gong Yuanhao lowered his eyes slightly. Judging from the current situation, this is indeed their only choice, and it is also the choice to preserve their strength and make a comeback. But if he leaves like this, he will be unwilling to do so after all, and Yingjie

...Yingjie?!

Suddenly raising his eyes to the west, Gong Yuanhao's eyes were as deep as the abyss, flashing with anxiety and panic. Is Yingjie still in that secret passage?

Thinking that his only son's life and death were still unknown, Gong Yuanhao couldn't wait any longer. He suppressed the sweetness that kept rising in his throat and galloped towards the secret road.

Yingjie, you must be safe and sound, otherwise what is the use of seizing the throne for your father?

Gong Yuanhao galloped very fast on his horse. By the time the generals reacted, he had already run more than ten feet away.

Several people looked at each other in confusion, wondering why the prince left so suddenly, but when they saw clearly the direction in which he was going, and those who knew the inside story, they immediately understood. Therefore, Lei Fangchu and another confidant general Ma Xun hurriedly took a group of people with him.

The sergeants Wan followed him closely, while the other generals calmed the army and secretly prayed for the safety of the prince.

Turning over and dismounting, Gong Yuanhao grabbed the torch from the sergeant behind him and hurried into the secret passage, carefully observing the situation in the secret passage with great trepidation.

Not a single body was seen until they came out of the secret passage at the other end. There were no traces of fighting in the entire passage, nor was there a trace of blood. Gong Yuanhao did not give up and ordered people to go to the secret passage next to it.

After searching a large area in the jungle for a long time, I still couldn't find my son.

Looking blankly at the shadow-shrouded jungle, Gong Yuanhao couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.

Seeing the traces of blood spilling from the corner of his prince's lips, Lei Fangchu and Xiang Xi's expressions changed drastically, with deep worries in their eyes. Ma Xun comforted him: "Your Majesty, this means that the prince is still alive, so please take care of yourself, the prince is still alive."

Waiting for the prince to rescue me."

"Yingjie is really still alive?"

After listening to Ma Xun's words, Gong Yuanhao's originally dazed eyes gradually became brighter. He turned to look at Lei Fangju and Ma Xun. Seeing them nodding heavily, a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in his heart: "Yes! Yingjie is still alive.

Just wait for me to rescue you. If anyone comes, please follow me to rescue the prince immediately!"

Seeing that the prince was about to rescue the prince, Lei Fangju and Ma Xun hurriedly dissuaded him.

Lei Fangju said calmly: "Your Majesty, we don't know who took the prince and where he was. If we take such reckless and clueless actions, not only will we not be able to save the prince, but we will disturb the enemy and endanger the prince's safety.

Moreover, an army of 200,000 people is still waiting for the prince's order. The ninth princess has arrived in Liyang County again, and maybe she is leading the enemy army to follow her at this moment;

How about we return to Jiuyuan County first to prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to seize Jiuyuan County and attack us from both front and rear. At the same time, we send people to secretly inquire about the crown prince. Once we have the exact information, we will formulate a complete and thorough rescue plan. In this way, we can both save

With my strength, I can ensure that the prince is rescued safely. I wonder what the prince wants?"

"I won't leave!" Gong Yuanhao wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and shouted loudly: "How can I feel at ease if I can't see Yingjie safe and sound?"

When Lei Fangju and Ma Xun heard this, they immediately became anxious: "Your Majesty..." The pursuers were coming, and if they didn't leave, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Since King Zhongwu doesn't want to leave, then don't leave!"

A clear voice suddenly sounded, and the surrounding area of ​​the originally shadowed jungle suddenly burst into flames, as bright as day. I don't know when a group of soldiers in armor had surrounded Gong Yuanhao and others from three sides. In the firelight, there was a picture of a determined and solemn figure.

His face, silver armor and the weapon in his hand shone with a cold light.

Glaring angrily at the leading man in front of him, Gong Yuanhao reacted instantly: "Situ Jingyu, tell me where Yingjie is?"

Since he is ambushing here, Yingjie must have fallen into their hands. Who leaked the secret to the Ninth Princess? You know, this secret passage, and the matter of Yingjie going to the capital from here, only he and Yingjie

, and several close generals knew about it, could it be that?

Seeing Gong Yuanhao's cold and suspicious gaze, Lei Fangju and Ma Xun trembled and shook their heads hurriedly to express that it was not them.

These two were guards who had grown up with him and were as close as brothers. They had always been loyal to him. Gong Yuanhao did not believe that they would betray him, but who could they be?

"Where the prince has gone, King Zhongwu should know better than this general."

There was no expression on Situ Jingyu's resolute face, but he exuded Ling Ran's aura, and his voice was as cold as the snowy sky in the twelfth lunar month: "Gong Yuanhao, you have no way to escape, so you'd better just surrender and be captured!"

"I will never surrender even if I die!"

Gong Yuanhao didn't pay attention to the sarcasm in Situ Jingyu's tone. Instead, he secretly thought that maybe Yingjie had not fallen into their hands, otherwise the ninth princess would definitely threaten him with Yingjie. After all, he only had one son, right?

As if he had expected that Gong Yuanhao would not hit the south wall and never look back, Situ Jingyu stopped talking nonsense and immediately ordered the soldiers to kill him without mercy!

Looking around at the murderous tens of thousands of troops around them, Lei Fangchun and Ma Xun glanced at each other in unison, and Ma Xun said decisively: "Lei Fangchun, you quickly protect the prince and leave, I will be responsible for breaking up the rear!"

Fortunately, the enemy army did not cut off their retreat. As long as the prince successfully passed through the secret passage to meet up with the 200,000 troops and rushed back to Jiuyuan County, the enemy army would be unable to do anything to the prince, and he would die without regrets.

"We will still be brothers in the next life!" Lei Fangchu knew that Ma Xun was determined to protect the prince to his death. Although he felt sad, he didn't say anything more and took a thousand soldiers to protect Gong Yuanhao and quickly retreated to the secret place.

At the end of the sentence, he looked back at Ma Xun, who was blocking the entrance of the secret passage and desperately blocking the approach of the enemy. His eyes flashed with sadness and admiration, and then he left decisively.

Unexpectedly, when they rushed to the camp not far away, they saw fierce fighting going on there. They saw countless purple guards and troops surrounding their 200,000-strong army, and arrows rained from the sky from three directions.

Shooting came, and soldiers kept falling down.

This situation finally caused something that Gong Yuanhao had suppressed to break out. Blood spurted out from his mouth, and he lay slumped on the horse. His face was as white as gold paper, but he held on.

Stay sane.

"Your Majesty..." Lei Fangju hurriedly flew forward to support him.

Gong Yuanhao suppressed the sweet smell in his throat and waved his hands: "I am fine!"

The purple guards and the army officers seemed to have discovered them, and soon countless sharp arrows were shot at them. Lei Fangju looked horrified and ordered a thousand sergeants to protect the prince with shields to prevent the army from approaching. At the same time, he waved his spear to stop the flying troops behind.

The sharp arrow came.

But after all, their number was too small. Most of the thousand soldiers died in the blink of an eye. However, his own army was blocked by the rain of arrows and could not get closer. Lei Fangju was so anxious that he suddenly saw a sharp arrow with the force of thunder heading towards the enemy more than ten steps away.

The prince shot away quickly, but it was too late to save him.

At the critical moment, there was a whoosh, and a white feather arrow shot through the air almost at the same time. The previous sharp arrow fell to the ground five steps away from Gong Yuanhao, followed by a group of masked men in black.

Landing from the sky around Gong Yuanhao, one of the men in black said coldly: "Let's go!"

Lei Fangju and the men in black protected Gong Yuanhao and quickly joined the army, then retreated to Jiuyuan County.

The rain of arrows in the sky suddenly stopped.

"Girl Dancing Shadow, why don't you continue the pursuit?"

Hearing the inquiry from a purple-clothed guard beside him, Wuying's eyes flashed with a dark edge: "The Ninth Princess's will..." He suddenly stopped talking and glanced to the left with his sharp eyes.
