Nangong Yi opened his eyes, not sleeping at all. He had nothing to do, so he wanted to find something to do. Nangong Yi suddenly remembered the animal language that Biqiu, the beast tamer of the Divine Witch Kingdom, had translated for him the day before yesterday. He had never had a chance to read it, so he turned out the booklet handwritten by Biqiu and lay on the bed to study it.
It took two hours, and Nangong Yi read the pamphlet handwritten by Biqiu over and over again no less than ten times, and finally mastered the skill of animal language. That day, Biqiu said that learning animal language was very difficult, but Nangong Yi felt that if he didn't understand the cuneiform script of the Divine Witch Kingdom, animal language would have been easily mastered.
In fact, Biqiu did not exaggerate. It is indeed difficult to learn animal language. The reason why Nangong Yi was able to master the skills of animal language so quickly was entirely due to his hat. He and Mao Mao have a spiritual connection and have been able to understand Mao Mao's meaning a long time ago. As a spiritual beast, Mao Mao also has similarities with other spiritual beasts, so Nangong Yi feels that animal language is not difficult to learn.
It was already late at night, and the Spirit Beast Mountain Range had finally quieted down. It seemed that nothing would happen again that night.
After a while, Nangong Yi's ears twitched slightly and he heard two hurried footsteps not far outside his tent. The target was his tent.
Nangong Yi gently put down the pamphlet in his hand and stood up slowly without disturbing the sleeping Hong Yunxiu.
After he put on his coat, the two men finally arrived outside his tent.
"General, are you asleep?" A person outside the door called softly, and it sounded like a soldier.
"Not yet. What's the matter?" Nangong Yi asked.
"General, there is a Mr. Situ here who claims to be your friend. He wants to see you. It seems there is something urgent"
"Second Young Master, something happened." Before the soldier could finish speaking, another voice rang out.
Immediately afterwards, the curtain of the tent was opened, and a handsome young man came in with a look of anxiety on his face. This person is Situ Junnan, the elder of the Demon Sect.
Situ Junnan came to Kyoto with Ying Shaojie this time, but when Nangong Yi went to see Ying Shaojie that day, Situ Junnan went out for something, and Nangong Yi did not see him. Now that he sees Situ Junnan here, Nangong Yi It was more or less unexpected and happy.
"Brother Situ, seeing that you are so anxious, what happened? Is it about my eldest brother and Princess Qin Rou?" Nangong Yi was not happy for long before he became nervous because of the expression on Situ Junnan's face.
"Yes, the young master failed to take Princess Qin Rou away this time. Moreover, Princess Qin Rou is most likely already on her way to the Divine Witch Kingdom." Situ Junnan said.
"How could this happen? When did Princess Qin Rou leave Kyoto?" Nangong Yi was shocked.
"We don't know this either. The young master is currently trying every possible means to find out the information."
"Brother Situ, tell me what is going on." Nangong Yi said again.
So Situ Junnan told Ying Shaojie¡¯s story of rescuing Princess Qin Rou in detail.
It turns out that last night, Ying Shaojie led several elders of the Demon Sect to sneak into the palace to rescue Princess Qin Rou. Everything went smoothly, but after Ying Shaojie left Kyoto with Princess Qin Rou, they discovered that the one they brought out was not Princess Qin Rou at all, but just a palace maid who had undergone a superb disguise. .
After questioning, Ying Shaojie learned from the palace maid who pretended to be Princess Qin Rou that all this was arranged by Qin Ren, and that Princess Qin Rou had disappeared.
Ying Shaojie speculated from this that Qin Ren must have thought in advance that Ying Shaojie might go to Kyoto to take Princess Qin Rou away, so he made preparations, and the real Princess Qin Rou might have been sent to the Kingdom of Divine Witch by him. .
The conversation between Nangong Yi and Situ Junnan had long awakened Hong Yunxiu. When she woke up and learned that Ying Shaojie's rescue of Princess Qin Rou had gone wrong, she felt very heavy for a moment.
"Brother, his guess is reasonable. Qin Ren probably knows something, and Princess Qin Rou is almost likely to be secretly sent to the Divine Witch Kingdom by him. For this plan, Princess Qin Rou must be found as soon as possible. Brother Situ, brother Situ, I sent you What do you mean by coming to me? Do you want me to go back and help him?"
"On the contrary, the young master wants you to stay in the military camp with peace of mind, defeat the Hanyue Kingdom army, and rescue Senior Nangong and Senior Lin from Xuehan Palace. The young master said that if he doesn't send someone to report the news, you will definitely guess that Qin Something has happened about Princess Rou, and then he will try to find out the news. He also said that after you know that something has changed, you may not be able to stay. The young master doesn¡¯t want to lie to you and say that the princess¡¯ matter has been taken care of. , so let me send you a message to reassure you that he will take care of the princess's affairs."
"Brother, he is really well-intentioned." Hong Yunxiu said with emotion. After speaking, he did not forget to take a look at Nangong Yi
Indeed, Nangong Yi had long been worried that something would happen to Princess Qin Rou, so last night he wanted to leave the military camp and return to Kyoto, but was dissuaded by Hong Yunxiu.
Speaking of which, if Hong Yunxiu hadn't persuaded Nangong Yi to stop him, Nangong Yi would have been able to see through Qin Ren's fake tricks with his skill in disguise. However, even if they find out, Princess Qin Rou is no longer in the palace. When Nangong Yi arrives in Kyoto, he will only become more anxious for Ying Shaojie. Ying Shaojie knew Nangong Yi very well.
Nangong Yi thought for a long time and finally nodded helplessly.
"Brother Situ, please go back and tell my elder brother that I will continue to stay in the military camp, but if he needs help, he can come to me at any time."
"Second Young Master, don't worry. I have dozens of elders in the Demon Sect and nearly twenty guardian elders. In terms of martial arts, you are not the best. In terms of intelligence, Young Master is not inferior to you, so you don't have to be too concerned about this matter. Too worried. The eldest young master said that rescuing Senior Nangong and Senior Lin is not only your personal matter, but also the leader's matter, and it is also related to the Demon Sect. Your father Nangong Lie is a legend in the martial arts world. If you can successfully rescue him Once he is rescued, our Heavenly Demon Sect will have another powerful ally."
"I know." Nangong Yi forced a smile. In fact, he was not too sure about whether he could rescue his parents this time. After all, there were many experts in Xuehan Palace, and their strength was not weaker than that of Tianmo Sect, and even better than the five major sects of the Central Plains.
"Second Young Master, in that case, I will take my leave first." After saying that, Situ Junnan was about to leave.
At this moment, the roar of all the beasts suddenly sounded in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range. Immediately afterwards, the entire valley began to shake violently. The sound of "dong dong" resounded endlessly in the valley, like thousands of horses galloping. .
"No, it's a spirit beast from the Spirit Beast Mountain Range." Nangong Yi was shocked. What he was most worried about happened.
"Second Young Master, it seems that these spiritual beasts are coming for your military camp." Situ Junnan's expression also changed.
"Brother Situ, please help me take care of Yunxiu. I will go out and lead the army to unload the spirit beasts." After Nangong Yi finished speaking, he strode out of the camp.
When Nangong Yi stepped out of the tent, he saw that the entire military camp was in chaos. All the soldiers hurriedly ran out of the tent, arranging their clothes and armor and taking out weapons.
Although the overall situation was chaotic, Nangong Yi smiled happily when he saw that so many people did not panic and picked up weapons to prepare.
"General, what's wrong, the spirit beasts from the Spirit Beast Mountain Range have attacked us. Depending on the situation, there may be tens of thousands of spirit beasts." Lin Zhongyi flew to Nangong Yi and said.
"I know all this. General Lin, you and General Yang immediately organize a defense and ask the archers to prepare. In addition, order people to light torches and burn hundreds of fires. Later I will see that all parts of this camp are It's bright." Nangong Yi ordered coldly.
"The last general takes orders." Lin Zhongyi responded and left quickly.
Of course Lin Zhongyi understood the reason why Nangong Yi asked people to light fires and light torches in the camp. You must know that most spiritual beasts have far better night vision than humans, and the vision of some nocturnal spiritual beasts is even more amazing at night. If they are in the dark If the Black Flag Army fights against the spirit army in such an environment, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses.
Lin Zhongyi was originally worried that Nangong Yi was just a man with strong martial arts but no knowledge of marching and fighting, and was not qualified for the position of general. However, after these two days of contact, Lin Zhongyi began to admire Nangong Yi. The general who took office was no longer as repulsive as he was at the beginning.
At this time, Yang Yanqing, Deputy General Zhao, Deputy General Qiu, Jia Chengcheng, and Jia Jinwei also came out one after another, commanding their subordinates to prepare to resist the spiritual beasts.
Under the command of Nangong Yi and others, the soldiers quickly stood at their posts, holding weapons in hand and waiting for the arrival of the spirit beasts.
Since the army is located in a valley with mountains on both sides, and there are only two places for entry and exit, the army only needs to defend the entrance and exit of the front and rear valleys.
Fires were set up everywhere in the military camp according to Nangong Yi's instructions. Most of the soldiers held torches in their hands, and the general camp and the woods not far outside the camp were clearly illuminated.
The sound of running like war drums was getting closer and closer, and the camp was shaking more and more violently.
Soon, the first spiritual beast appeared in the sight of the soldiers. It was a tall unicorn with green eyes and the smell of blood all over its body.
Immediately afterwards, the second, third too many spiritual beasts to count appeared one after another.
Nangong Yi personally commanded an army to defend against the spiritual beasts attacking from the front of the valley.
Seeing this situation, ordinary soldiers couldn't help but shake their handsHe tightened his grip on weapons and torches.
"Archers prepare let go"
With Nangong Yi¡¯s order, the arrows flew across the night sky quickly, shooting towards the spirit beasts not far away, and then the screams of the spirit beasts rang out.
Some spirit beasts were injured or fell to the ground and died, forming obstacles in the valley. The spirit beasts behind were affected by this, their speed dropped greatly, and chaos suddenly appeared.
Next, there were six consecutive waves of dense arrow rain, and more spiritual beasts died under the arrows.
