SFS Chapter 181 This is strange!
Chapter 181 This is strange!
"Report! King Ye Yin of the Southwest has set off with three thousand light cavalry back to the southwest!"
"Okay!"
Murong Yan was overjoyed when he heard this. After all, Ye Yin was still afraid that his achievements would overshadow his master. If he left, what would the people in the capital city have to fear?
No, that powerful Meteor Crossbow! They actually developed a powerful crossbow that can fire continuously.
"Any news on the blueprints for the Meteor Crossbow?"
Liu Fang shook his head. "Gao Changjun is too cautious. Our people can't get in at all. Even if we managed to get into the city with our superb martial arts skills, we wouldn't be able to get close to the Ministry of Works. All the people and blueprints related to the Meteor Crossbow are under strict guard! There are also layers of imperial guards guarding the perimeter. No one can get close!"
In the end, Murong Yan ordered the army to reorganize and attack the capital at all costs three days later!
Of course, he also planned to secretly leave his personal guards around him and try to capture the old emperor when he returned to Beijing as a threat! This was his last resort!
That night, the valley was completely silent and everyone was very tired. Murong Yan stayed alone in the tent, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, feeling uneasy.
This feeling was something he had never felt before.
"Somebody come!"
Someone from the personal guard outside the tent responded immediately.
"Go check on the defenders in the valley. Are there any unusual movements?"
The personal guard responded and walked away. After a while, he came back to check and said it was safe.
Only then did Murong Yan suppress the irritation in his heart.
At the entrance of the valley, a soldier on guard suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing past him.
"Huh? Why is there a sudden gust of wind?"
"Well, isn't it normal to have wind in the valley? Besides, we're at the mouth of the valley."
The person next to him immediately joined in and waved his hand.
"That's right. Well, I don't know what the master is thinking. We have finally managed to stay alive, and now we are still hiding in this valley waiting. If we fight again, I'm afraid we will all die here!"
"Then you better be smart. As long as you can keep your life, whether you succeed or fail, at least you can survive."
When it came to this heavy topic, both of them fell silent.
Liu Fang, who was patrolling here, stood in the shadows and did not move for a long time.
He has been following Murong Yan for several years and has been giving him advice. It seems that the final moment has come. He has already anticipated the outcome of the decisive battle three days later. Even though Southwest King Ye Yin has already led his troops away, Gao Changjun's Meteor Crossbow is not easy to deal with. They only have so few men left, and their morale is low. The remaining generals are also willing but unable to do their best!
That mysterious man killed several of their important generals on the battlefield. Without them, there was no chance of winning the battle.
He who knows the current situation is a hero. He is the person who knows Murong Yan best. If he loses, Gao Changjun will probably spare his life based on his understanding of Murong Yan's strategy. He still has use! At the very least, he can still be a commoner.
It was getting late and the dew was heavy. Liu Fang sat in front of the camp all night, and the wine jug in his hand was empty.
"Master Liu, the master hasn't gotten up yet. Normally, he would have gotten up by this time. Should we go in and take a look?"
The leader of the personal guards came to ask Liu Fang for advice with a frown. He had been wandering in front of Murong Yan's tent for a long time and did not dare to go in easily.
Seeing Liu Fang here, I came over specifically to ask for advice. Liu Fang is the most capable confidant of the master, and the master will never lose his temper with him easily!
Liu Fang also frowned, feeling a little upset. "Master didn't sleep well last night, so he might be sleeping more deeply now. How about we wait a little longer?"
He knew that Murong Yan couldn't sleep well last night, and he repeatedly sent people to investigate the valley entrance. Finally, he agreed to patrol personally tonight, and Murong Yan finally went to bed with peace of mind!
His mind was too tense, and he saw enemies everywhere. Murong Yan was also a human being, and he would also be afraid and frightened, especially at this time!
It was already bright outside. The leader of the guards and Liu Fang had been waiting for a long time. They both began to realize that something was too unusual. Murong Yan had not woken up yet, and there was no movement in the tent.
"Let's go in and take a look!"
Liu Fang called out twice outside, but no one answered, so he immediately decided to go in and check with the leader of the personal guards.
"master?"
"master?"
The two men approached the bed curtains. It was obvious that someone was sleeping soundly inside, but no one made a sound.
Seeing that someone was there, they felt relieved.
The master is fast asleep!
"Master, it's dawn, time to get up!"
There was still no movement on the bed. The two looked at each other, feeling uneasy.
Liu Fang opened the curtains with one hand, and Murong Yan's face came into view. He was lying quietly on the bed, with a calm expression on his face, as if he was fast asleep.
I reached out my hand and found that there was no breath at all!
Liu Fang was so shocked that he sat down on the ground.
"This this……"
The leader of the personal guards also stepped forward to test the waters, "The master is actually asleep?"
He also had a look of disbelief!
"Master Liu, this...what should we do?"
It took Liu Fang a while to recover from his shock. "Don't make a sound yet. Check around. Is there any sign of outsiders?"
The two men searched the tent inside and out but found no clues. Finally, they called the personal soldiers who were guarding outside at night to ask them, but they got nothing.
Last night, they were on guard outside and no one came in. The master was a little uneasy before, and he felt relieved only after Lord Liu went to patrol in person. There was no unusual movement in the tent!
That's strange!
If someone came to poison, there would be no way there would be no noise at all. The master's tent is surrounded not only by personal guards, but also by secret guards. Even if someone has great martial arts skills, it is impossible for him to come and go without a trace.
"It seems like it's God's will!"
Liu Fang sighed deeply. It was unbelievable that Murong Yan had died in his sleep.
"By the way! Please invite the doctor over!"
He also felt that everything was strange. Murong Yan had no illness and was in good health. It didn't make sense that he would die in his sleep! Could he have been poisoned? So he called a doctor to examine Murong Yan's body.
Finally, the doctor came into the tent, examined the man, and said, trembling all over, that he was not poisoned.
"You mean there was no poisoning, and it was a natural death?"
"Yes... yes! There's no sign of poisoning. It's more like he was very uneasy and restless before going to bed. Maybe he was too frightened in his sleep..."
The doctor didn't dare to continue. If he said that Murong Yan was extremely nervous and scared himself to death, who would believe him? Who would dare to believe him?
He immediately understood who Liu Fang was. What the doctor said was consistent with Murong Yan's behavior before going to bed, so he probably wasn't lying.
"Master Liu, our master is dead, what should we do?"
The leader of the guards had a worried look on his face, and the doctor also pricked up his ears to listen. They were leaderless, what could they do?
