Chapter 1022 Retreat To The City


    A touch of coldness appeared in Luo Qingyan''s eyes, but the corners of his mouth curled up. "Qingsu


    is really good at calcting."


    Yun Shang nodded and looked at Luo Qingyan with a smile. "I think so, too. I''ll set up a trap and wait


    on Phoenix Mountain. If he dares toe, I''ll make him regret."


    Hearing what Yun Shang said, Luo Qingyan''s eyes shed with tenderness. He nodded slightly and


    said, "I''ll go with you tomorrow."


    A tinge of joy shed through Yun Shang''s eyes. She looked at Luo Qingyan with a smile and said,


    "That''s good. Why is his majesty free now?"


    Luo Qingyan smiled, "I''m afraid the State of Yng won''t attack in two or three days. As long as Zhao


    Yingjie is in the camp, it will be fine."


    Hearing this, Yun Shang frowned again. "The State of Yng is now relying on the fact that His Former


    Majesty and Her Former Majesty were in his hand. But that do affect us. I think it would be best if we


    can save them secretly. In this way, we will no longer have any fear of the State of Yng. "


    Luo Qingyan nodded, with a hint of worry in his eyes. "I''ve been trying to save them these days, but


    how could Qingsu be so careless to let us save them as he finally got two shields in his hands?"


    After Luo Qingyan finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Let''s stop talking about this. I feel very


    irritable at the thought of this. Have dinner first. Is Bao''er asleep? "


    Yun Shang looked up at Bao''er and asked curiously, "He was so noisy when I came back just now.


    Why did he fall asleep in a sh?"


    Luo Qingyan smiled, tucked Bao''er in, and touched his soft hair. Then he stood up, walked to the back


    of the desk and looked through the books Yun Shang had read.


    After dinner, Yun Shang asked Pei Lan and Hua''er to bring some water in. Then she washed up with


    Luo Qingyan and rested.


    The second morning, Luo Qingyan arrived at the stone forest with Yun Shang. Luo Qingyan directly


    jumped up, looked around for a long time, and returned to Yun Shang]. "It''s a good ce, much more


    spectacr than I thought."


    Yun Shang took out the drawing from her sleeve. It was much moreplete now. She marked the


    location of each stone, the trap, the poison, and the hidden guard''s ambush in detail. Yun Shang


    marked them all.


    Luo Qingyan looked at the drawing carefully and handed it back to Yun Shang. Then he walked around


    again and came back soon. "Very good. Your arrangement is very ingenious."

    Luo Qingyan looked around and said, "But it''s not difficult for martial artists to reach such a height. If


    Qingsu sends someone to stand on the stone forest, the following situation can be seen clearly."


    Yun Shang had already thought about it. She smiled and said, "I''ve been here several times, and I


    know that the mountain is filled with the thick mist in dawn and dust, and I can''t see anything clearly. If


    we lure the enemy into the stone forest at that time, everything will be fine."


    "Now you are worried about how to lure the enemy into the array?" Luo Qingyan looked up at the


    spectacr stones and asked softly.


    Yun Shang nodded slightly and kept silent for a long time. Then she said, "Even if Qingsu wants to go


    from Phoenix Mountain, he may not go up the mountain from here. Even if he goes up the mountain,


    the spy can find out that there is a stone forest here first, so they can bypass here."


    Luo Qingyan nodded. He walked to the edge of the cliff and looked through the stone forest. To the


    south of the stone forest was a dense forest.


    Standing outside the dense forest, Luo Qingyan looked up at the tall trees. After a long silence, he said,


    "It''s not that we have no choice, but you have to make a back-up n. If he doesn''t enter the stone


    forest, the thick forest is the only choice. We could also set an ambush in the thick forest. He can''t


    climb up from the cliff, can he? "


    Hearing this, Yun Shang''s eyes lit up. She nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, your majesty is right. I


    was trapped by myself."


    "With Qingsu''s character, he won''t let the army go to Phoenix Mountain directly. In this way, his


    whereabouts will be easily exposed and disadvantageous to him. They will pretend to be defeated and


    withdraw when the two armies fight. Then they will be divided into two groups and lead our soldiers all


    the way to Phoenix Mountain. I will ask Zhao Yingjie to arrange for Qingsu to go to Phoenix Mountain,


    and set an ambush in front of the stone forest and the dense forest. If there is a spying to inquire,


    we will first see the way of the spy''s message, and then kill him directly. Our people can disguise as the


    spies and sent a message to Qingsu, telling him everything is safe ahead. " Luo Qingyan looked up.


    Yun Shang nodded slightly, still a little worried in her eyes. Luo Qingyan smiled, gently put his arm


    around Yun Shang''s shoulder, and said with a smile, "Trust me. I''ll take care of the task of letting


    Qingsu lead the troops to Phoenix Mountain. You just need to make arrangement here and wait for


    Qingsu toe here."


    After going down the mountain with Yun Shang, Luo Qingyan went straight to the camp.


    At dusk, Pei Lan suddenly reported, "Your majesty, I saw that our soldiers seemed to be retreating to


    the city. Is there anything wrong?"


    Yun Shang was also surprised. When she was with Luo Qingyan, she had never heard Luo Qingyan


    mention it.


    Yun Shang stood up in a hurry and went straight out of the mansion. The empty road in the city was


    now full of soldiers, and several generals on horses weremanding them to enter the city in an


    orderly way.


    Yun Shang hurried forward and asked one of the generals, "Are you withdrawing the army?"


    The general turned his head and saw Yun Shang. He happened to have seen Yun Shang in the


    general''s camp yesterday, so he quickly got off the horse and bowed to her. "Your Majesty, his majesty


    ordered us to withdraw to Lingxi City. The soldiers are encamped at the back of Lingxi City."


    "Where is his majesty?" Yun Shang asked hurriedly.


    The general looked around and said, "I don''t know either. His Majesty was with General Zhao just


    now."


    "Why did his majesty order to withdraw to the city?" Yun Shang looked around and didn''t see Luo


    Qingyan, so she asked.


    Hearing this, the general cupped his hands and said, "His majesty said that the reinforcements are still


    on the way. There is no barrier at the ce where our camp is located. Besides, our forces are


    scattered, and many soldiers are hidden in the woods. If the State of Yngunch a strong attack, we


    will definitely suffer losses. The reason why we return to the city is that we can take advantage of the


    city wall as a barrier to ensure the safety of our soldiers. The reinforcements can arrive in half a month


    at most. We can keep them for half a month. When they arrive at Lingxi City, we can directly attack the


    camp of the State of Yng. "


    Yun Shang frowned and pondered. Yun Shang wouldn''t believe it. He probably just wanted to tell


    Qingsu about it through the spies.


    "The enemy attacked us the day before yesterday. What''s the result?" Yun Shang looked up at the


    soldiers who were marching neatly on the street and asked.


    The general said in a hurry, "Our army has suffered more than two thousand casualties, and the enemy


    has almost the same number of casualties. However, we didn''t take out all strength as we feared their


    former majesties might be hurt."


    "Their former majesties? Did Qingsu take them out? " Yun Shang asked anxiously.


    The general nodded, "Yes. Qingsu tied them to the carriage and stood in the front to threaten his


    majesty. If he dares to act rashly, he will kill them."


    Yun Shang nodded slightly, "I see. You can continue."


    The general nodded, bowed to Yun Shang, and led the horse forward.


    Looking at the soldiers passing by, Yun Shang kept silent for a long time before she turned around and


    went back to her room.


    "Your Majesty..." Pei Lan pointed to the outside, frowning and a little worried.


    Yun Shang shook her head, "it doesn''t matter. His majesty has his own considerations. It''s enough for


    us to do our own things well." Then she went back to the yard.


    Qingsu would know about their retreat soon. Qingsu knew Luo Qingyan well. He would think that Luo


    Qingyan did this for some other purpose, so he would be more cautious.


    Yun Shang walked to the gate of the yard and looked at the carriages carrying mud outside. She turned


    to Pei Lan and said, "Now the soldiers have entered the city. If they know that I want to dig ake in the


    mansion, they will be unhappy. When we carry the mud, we can go through the back door. Outside the


    back door is a path."


    Pei Lan frowned and said, "But we have transported the soil out of the city directly. Since they have


    soldiers in the city."


    Yun Shang also knew that what Pei Lan said was true. She kept silent for a while and said, "I


    remember that there is ake in Lingxi City called Moonlight Bay. There is no one else in the city now.


    The Moonlight Bay is not far from our mansion. We can take a detour without disturbing the soldiers.


    Ask the secret guards to pour the soil into the Moonlight Bay. "


    Pei Lan nodded and went to the west garden.


    With a touch of sadness in her eyes, Yun Shang went into the room. After thinking for a while, she


    thought of another thing. She picked up the white jade lute and blew it. When the secret guard entered


    the room, Yun Shang handed the picture with the stone forest array to the secret guard and said, "This


    is the picture of ambush array. If the army hase ti the city today, I''m afraid it''s inconvenient for me


    to enter or leave the city. It''s easy to attract attention. Take secret guards with you and hide in the


    Phoenix Mountain to arrange the array. I can only spare some time to see how the arrangement is


    going... "


    The secret guard answered and took the picture.


    Yun Shang sighed and waved her hand, "It has to be done as soon as possible. You can leave the city


    first. If you need anything, just send message back. "


    "Yes." The secret guard answered and left the room.
