Chapter 391 Ambush
But Yu Ziche still insisted: "No, I object!"
Ye Xuan Ke was completely confused and didn't understand what the two siblings were talking about.
"Um... could you guys stop playing charades?"
He doesn’t understand!
For the first time in his life, Ye Xuan Ke felt frustrated that he was not smart enough.
Fourth brother always advised him to read more books, why didn't he listen?
Yu Ziche ignored him and said to Song Yunxi with a sullen face: "If you have an accident, how can I explain it to Master? How can I explain it to the sect?"
What's more important is that he can't forgive himself.
Song Yunxi still didn't give up: "Second brother, I know my limits..."
"I told you no!"
Yu Ziche interrupted her in a deep voice: "Finding Xuanqi is very important, but my sister's life is more important. I will never let you do anything that will endanger her life."
At this time, in the mountains and forests sixty kilometers away from where Song Yunxi and the other two were staying, many soldiers had reached their limits and collapsed in the miasma.
The newly appointed General of Pingnan, Fang Chengzhi, was very upset: "If I hadn't ignored the advice and insisted on advancing recklessly, I wouldn't have been ambushed by the enemy, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wouldn't have been seriously injured in order to save me."
The morale of the South Vietnamese army suddenly increased, and his deputy generals were defeated one after another, allowing the South Vietnamese to take back several cities that they had captured. Fang Chengzhi could no longer sit still.
This was a rare opportunity to wipe out the main force of the South Vietnamese army, how could he miss it?
But Ye Xuanqi believed that this was a flaw deliberately released by the enemy in order to lure the enemy into a trap, so his opinion was to wait and see, and at the same time, take advantage of the opportunity when the main force of South Vietnam was gathering here to send out an elite assault battalion to launch a surprise attack on the laxly guarded camp of South Vietnam, burn their food and grass, and then cut off the only way for them to transport food and grass, so that the enemy can be trapped in the city without any effort.
In this way, we only need to trap them for ten days or half a month. The shortage of food and grass will cause them to lose their composure, and that will be the best time to defeat them.
However, Fang Chengzhi was stubborn and ultimately decided that he would not obey the orders of the emperor. He ignored Ye Xuanqi's dissuasion and led the Fang army to attack the main force of South Vietnam.
The vast majority of soldiers in the Pingnan Army camp have always followed the old General Pingnan, so Fang Chengzhi naturally has a stronger appeal than the prince Ye Xuanqi.
Such trust was established after each other had experienced the test of life and death. Ye Xuanqi, an outsider, was simply not comparable.
Ye Xuanqi, who grew up in a military camp, understood this very well. If he was in the Zhenbei Army camp of Beichu at this time, the Zhenbei Army would also choose him and believe in him unconditionally.
Knowing that it was an enemy trap, Ye Xuanqi could not bear to watch Fang Chengzhi and the Fang family army being wiped out, so he had to lead his elite troops to rescue them.
The result was just as Ye Xuanqi had expected. They stepped into Nan Yue's illusion trap and were trapped in the miasma forest.
Even though Ye Xuanqi could fight one hundred people at a time, he was ultimately unable to save the soldiers who were poisoned by the miasma. He himself was also seriously injured while trying to save Fang Chengzhi and Fang Yichen, uncle and nephew.
Before he was seriously injured and fell into coma, he tried his best to set up a formation barrier to let all the soldiers retreat into it to save their lives. He also asked Jiang Yanting to distribute the antidote for the miasma poison that Song Yunxi gave him to the soldiers.
Jiang Yanting sighed helplessly: "Since this has come to this, it is useless for the general to blame himself. Now we can only wait for rescue."
Of course, that is if help arrives quickly and can find them in time.
Before Ye Xuanqi lost consciousness, he saw him hastily write a letter in blood and use a secret technique to transmit it out of the barrier.
That's right, they are now in the safety barrier set up by Ye Xuanqi, but this miasma forest is also surrounded by a barrier set up by the Nanyue people, making it extremely difficult to find.
Jiang Yanting smiled bitterly in his heart, he was afraid that he would really die here this time.
It was the first time that Jiang Yanting felt so desperate.
He looked up at the sky, but in the dense miasma forest, he could only see a very small part of the sky through the gaps.
Although the chances of survival are slim, there is still hope. We should always think positively.
Jiang Yanting subconsciously grasped the secret whistle on his chest. The situation was critical at that time and he didn't even think of using secret techniques to send a letter for help.
Looking at Ye Xuanqi lying unconscious on the ground with a pale face, one couldn't help but admire his calm and composed ability to respond.
It turns out that he grew up in a military camp.
He flipped through Ye Xuanqi's medicine bag again. He knew that this was prepared by Xiao Si for Ye Xuanqi.
But there was only one life-saving pill left.
If he still couldn't find them after the medicine ran out, given Ye Xuanqi's injuries, he didn't dare to think further.
Even though Xiao Si said that she didn't like her, as his brother, how could he not see her feelings for Ye Xuanqi?
If anything happened to Ye Xuanqi, his little son would be very sad.
Jiang Yanting leaned close to Ye Xuanqi's ear and said in a hoarse and rough voice: "Aqi, you better hold on, otherwise I will immediately choose a husband for my little girl when I return to the capital, and I will make sure she is married off before her body is cold."
"If you don't want to see her get married, then hold on and don't die."
As he spoke, his voice trembled a little and his eyes became a little hot.
Fang Yichen, who was standing by, had already red eyes and lowered his head, not daring to let anyone see.
The scene of the prince saving him kept appearing in his mind.
At that time, he had been forced into a desperate situation by the enemy. It was the prince who appeared in time and saved him regardless of his own safety. It was also the prince who blocked the fatal arrow for him.
"Your Highness, please leave now and leave me alone!"
"General Fang died in battle to protect Jin'an. You are his only bloodline left in this world. How can I ignore you?"
The prince really risked his life to keep him alive.
His life belongs to the prince.
Fang Yichen secretly swore in his heart that if he could escape this time, he would follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the rest of his life and never retreat or betray him!
The lifeless Ye Xuanqi suddenly twitched, and his pale face turned red in an instant.
Jiang Yanting, who had been paying attention to Ye Xuanqi, immediately put his hand on his forehead. The hot body temperature made him feel even more uneasy.
Ye Xuanyu, whose leg was injured, walked over with difficulty: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yanting's expression was solemn: "Serious injury and high fever."
Although there were only four words, Ye Xuanyu knew that the situation was extremely bad.
Ye Xuanyu took off the water bag from his waist, lifted Ye Xuanqi's head and fed him water: "Give him more water, try to reduce his fever first."
Jiang Yanting remembered that the water bags were distributed to everyone by Zhou Feng when Ye Xuanqi was weak after he set up the barrier.
The water contains the antidote for miasma poison prepared by Song Xi.
It is precisely because of this water that they can temporarily remain safe in this miasma forest.
Jiang Yanting then realized that Ye Xuanyu's face also looked extremely bad, and his breathing was noticeably short.
"You didn't drink the water?"
"My fourth brother needs it more than I do."
He has committed serious crimes, so what does it matter whether he lives or not? It is worth it to exchange his life for my fourth brother.
