C181

In this silver world, the red calyx was exceptionally dazzling.

Yun Ruo Lu knew that she must have deliberately left the palace to look for her. It seemed like she was preparing to make her move on a plan that she had never known before.

The red calyx slowly walked towards Yun Ruo Lu, then climbed into her carriage. Logically speaking, it should be her that went over, but Red Calyx came over on her own accord. It could be seen that Red Calyx had already given her enough face.

"Is there something you need from me?"

Not long after she boarded the carriage, Yun Ruo Lu went straight to the point. She did not have much time to waste, and wanted to ask the Emperor to allow her to go to the Fringe to find Yuchi Chen.

Red Calyx glanced at Yun Ruo and nodded. She unhurriedly said, "I presume you already know about the matters at the border. Why are you in such a hurry to see the emperor at the palace? You want to go to the border?"

Yun Ruo Lu didn't know what she meant by that, but since she already knew what she meant, there was no need to hide anything from her.

"What is it? Are you trying to stop me? "

"Why do you think that? I'm here to help you."

Red Calyx's face was indifferent, as if she had seen through everything. Yun Ruo Lu felt that she was acting a bit weird today, so she couldn't help but ask, "Did something happen in the palace?"

In the past, when Red Peak wanted to see her, it was all the life palace maids who came to summon her. Today, she actually came out of the palace to meet her again. This truly was strange.

She shook her head and said, "There's nothing wrong with the palace. It's just that …" I'm about to leave. If you do, I know you want to go to the border pass, so I've already told the emperor that he agrees. And that is the end of our plan. "

Yun Ruo Lu did not quite understand what he meant, and asked doubtfully: "What exactly do you mean?"

"Didn't you agree to one of my requests? No matter what I ask you to do, you have to agree. "My request is for you to find Yuchi Chen. When you find him, my plan will have been completed."

Redcalyx did not say much, and Yun Ruo Lu was also confused by her conversation. However, since she was not asked to commit murder or set a fire, it could be considered good enough.

"Good!" I promise you! "

Yun Ruo Lu nodded her head in agreement. Although she did not know what Red Calyx wanted, she only wanted to go to the Fringe Pass to look for Yuchi Chen. She did not want to bother with other matters.

"This might be the last time we meet. LuLu, I'll give this box to you. At a critical moment, it can help you."

The red calyx gives Yun Ruo Lu a purple brocade box, the box is only palm size, you can carry it with you.

"Thank you!"

Yun Ruo took the box but did not open it. Since he was talking about critical moments, he should only open it when he needed it.

"If you leave, then what should we do, your majesty?"

Yuchi Yi loved her so much that he wanted to seal her as his successor. If she disappeared, what would happen to Yuchi Yi?

In response to Yun Ruo's question, Hong Zhu did not answer, choosing to remain silent instead.

Maybe she didn't know how to reply, or maybe she already had a plan, but she just couldn't say it.

Seeing that Red Calyx was unwilling to speak, Yun Ruo did not force her. She did not understand her at all right now, but sooner or later there would be a day when the truth would come.

The red calyx left in silence, returning to her carriage before returning to the direction of the Imperial Palace.

As Yun Ruo gazed at the gradually fading carriage, her heart was filled with countless emotions. Was this really the last time they had met?

Could it be that the next time we meet, it will be a life and death situation?

She could not completely say that she was a kind woman, but she was also not a true bad person.

Every person chose a different path, so she could not judge other people's right and wrong, and could only do what she should.

When Yun Ruo returned to the palace, she immediately packed her things and prepared to set off.

The Jin Se knew that Yun Luo was going to the Fringe Pass, so he wanted to go after him even if he wanted to. However, Yun Ruo Lu knew that this matter was unusual, so she didn't plan to bring Jin Se along.

When Yun Ruo Lu left the capital, there was still a lot of snow on the ground, but it was much less snowing.

Because of the snow, the original journey of three days might have taken her seven to eight days. In order to shorten the time, Yun Ruo Lu decided to ride her horse and climb the mountain.

Yun Ruo carried her backpack and started to travel alone. The cold brushed against her face, and she felt a kind of pain. Although the cold was bone-piercing, she still hurried on.

At the beginning, it was still fine, but after they entered the mountain road, it became harder and harder to walk. In the end, she had to dismount and walk the horse.

After walking for about three days, she finally saw the village that had been lit up by the smoke.

When Yun Ruo Lu saw that village, she became incomparably excited. She had come to that village before and even helped them chase away bandits.

By arriving here, it meant that they were not far from the border, and she would soon be able to see Yuchi Chen.

Yun Ruo Lu quickly entered the village, but did not see many families. Many houses had their doors and windows closed, and there were even some signs of being smashed.

Fortunately, the old Village Chief was still at home, so Yun Ruo Lu went to his house to rest.

Seeing Yun Ruo Lu again, the old elder was filled with emotions. His old and aged face looked even older than before.

Yun Ruo You asked the village chief about the situation and found out that the village had been attacked by the barbarians a few days ago.

They killed a lot of people and stole all the food. In order to avoid disaster, many people left the village. Those who stayed behind were all lonely old men like the Village Chief.

After learning about the vicious acts committed by the barbarians, Yun Ruo Lu was extremely angry. She asked if the army of Yuchi Kingdom was not in charge of this matter.

Only after asking did they learn that the army was busy battling. The Yuchi Kingdom's army had been trapped in the gorge for seven or eight days. It was unknown whether or not they would be able to break out.

Some of the nearby mountain barbarians took advantage of this war to commit evil deeds.

Hearing that Yuchi Chen's troops had been trapped in the canyon for seven or eight days, Yun Ruo Lu was flabbergasted. She thought to herself, could it be that Yuchi Xuan's rescue troops haven't arrived yet?

Seven or eight days later, Yuchi Chen and the others would probably not even have food in the valley. Even if they starved to death, many people would starve to death.

However, Yuchi Xuan and Yuchi Chen had a grudge against each other, so he didn't have much hope for Yuchi Xuan. However, she hadn't thought that Yuchi Xuan would be so despicable. At a time like this, he would ignore his brotherly feelings and wholeheartedly want to force his opponent to death.

After resting in the village for the night, Yun Ruo Lu continued on her journey. She knew that there was a treacherous path that would allow them to avoid the enemy and enter the canyon.

Thus, Yun Ruo Lu passed through the concealed pathway and entered the ravine with great difficulty.

After walking for about half the distance, Yun Ruo Lu heard shouts of battle coming from the canyon.

She knew that there must be a war between the two armies.

Soon after entering the canyon, he saw enemy troops besieging Yuchi Chen's army.

Yun Rao stepped forward to help save a dying soldier.

While the soldier was still breathing, Yun Ruo Lu anxiously asked: "Where is the Prince? Where is the Prince?! "

The soldier raised his hand and pointed at the deeper parts of the valley. He weakly replied, "The prince is still inside. Hurry and save the king!"

After learning of Yuchi Chen's fall, Yun Ruo ran deeper into the canyon. Yuchi Chen's army was scattered in disarray, heavily surrounded by the enemy forces. It looked like their morale was low, and many of the soldiers only ran away, not resisting at all.

However, she couldn't care less now. She searched for Yuchi Chen in the crowd.

In the end, at a dead end beneath a cliff, he discovered that Yuchi Chen was actually surrounded by more than a hundred people.

Seeing Yuchi Chen, Yun Ruo Lu did not hesitate to charge into the encirclement, killing quite a few people along the way.

"Your Highness! "Get on the horse!"

Yun Ruo rushed into the enemy's encirclement, pulled Yuchi Chen onto his horse, and then rushed out of the encirclement. Based on the current situation, they didn't have much strength to fight back, so they had no choice but to run.

Seeing Yun Ruo Lu's sudden appearance, Yuchi Chen was surprised. However, he was unable to say anything in the midst of his panic. He could only bring the disabled soldiers with him as he fled deeper into the canyon.

The enemy troops were still in pursuit, but the entrance to the canyon was not big. After her men hid inside, Yun Ruo Lu was at the entrance, throwing her homemade explosives at the enemy, forcing them to retreat outside, not daring to enter.

After it was temporarily safe, Yuchi Chen arranged for the injured soldiers to stay. Only then did he have time to ask Yun Ruo Lu.

"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to suffer in the capital? "

Although Yuchi Chen was happy that Yun Ruo had arrived, the battlefield was too dangerous, so he hoped that he would not appear.

"Your hand is injured. Let me take a look for you!"

Yun Ruo Lu ignored Yuchi's angry outburst and focused on her own matters.

Yuchi Chen could only sigh helplessly as he continued, "Right now, we have no military camp or food. If we are trapped here, we will die sooner or later. Tomorrow, I will send someone to escort you out. After you leave, don't come back! "

Yun Ruo used the bandages she had brought to bandage Yuchi Chen's wounds, then looked around at her surroundings.

"Heaven will not kill you. I've come to help you. Is your highness really so untrustworthy?"

It wasn't that Yuchi Chen didn't believe in Yun Ruo Lu. Rather, on the battlefield, many things could not be solved by a single person.

Just as Yuchi Chen was about to tell her not to mess around, Yun Ruo Lu suddenly asked, "Prince, how many people do we have left?"

Yuchi Chen didn't know why she asked this question, but he still replied, "There are less than ten thousand people now."

"Food, tents and weapons?"

"The food can last for another day, we don't have enough tents, and we're running out of weapons."

After roughly understanding the situation, Yun Ruo You nodded and smiled, "It's good, it's not as bad as I thought. Your Royal Highness, you should rest for a while, I will give you a surprise! "

After settling Yuchi Chen down to rest, Yun Ruo arranged for the injured to be brought into the cave.
