The roar in the distance was getting closer and closer, the sky and the earth were filled with snow, and even the vision became blurry.
"It's a sign of a blizzard." Ye Jin frowned. The place where they were located happened to be a canyon. If they encountered such strong winds, it would likely cause an avalanche. Wei Yang made a prompt decision and ordered everyone to evacuate immediately.
A gust of wind blew through the canyon, mixed with countless tiny snow particles. Asher pulled up his cloak to block Oliver's face.
At the same moment, the rebels on the opposite side also took out countless smoke bombs from their arms and threw them heavily to the ground.
Gray-green mist rose into the air and was instantly carried to the Chu army camp by the wind. A sweet and fishy smell spread between the nostrils, slightly nauseating.
Shen Qianfeng knew something was wrong and rushed over to stop them, but Ye Jin grabbed him and said, "Don't go!"
Another gust of wind roared from afar, blowing the ice and rocks on both sides of the canyon to the point of crumbling, and countless snow blocks began to fall. The rebels did not know what tricks they used, but suddenly a thick yellow smoke rose between the two sides, obscuring the vision like chaos, and there seemed to be some weird laughter when listening carefully. Wei Yang led the vanguard to quickly evacuate the canyon. Although Shen Qianfeng was angry, Ye Jin held him tightly and would not let him go, so he had to take him back and leave first.
After leaving the canyon, the air immediately became fresher. Ye Jin checked the first few soldiers and frowned slightly, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's nothing now." The general said, "I just feel a little nauseous."
"The Valley Master doesn't know what that is?" Wei Yang asked.
Ye Jin shook his head and turned to look into the canyon.
The storm became more and more violent, and huge ice and rocks kept falling, smashing the canyon into a mess. The smoke had long been blown away, but there was no trace of the rebels.
Asher went over to check it, but didn't see anything.
"It makes sense." Mu Hanye said, "In this kind of weather, the footprints will be buried in the wind and snow and disappear in an instant."
"It is estimated that there is an entrance nearby, and they are all drilled underground." Asher said, "The other party is obviously familiar with the climate of the snowfield. When will the wind start and when will it stop? Their calculations are accurate, otherwise they would not be able to block us with smoke."
"Let's go back first." Ye Jin said, "After all, I was also caught in the smoke, so I can't take it lightly."
Everyone nodded and turned back to the camp.
"Don't you smell it?" Asher asked Oliver.
"Of course not." Oliver shook his head. He had covered his mouth and nose immediately and almost suffocated.
"That's good." Asher felt relieved, "I won't bring you here next time."
"Will there be fog next time?" Oliver frowned.
"No." Asher said, "The smoke and poison gas can only be used in the canyon. If it were used on the snowy plain, it would have been blown away long ago. There are only a few canyons nearby, so we should just avoid them when we march in the future."
Oliver nodded and sighed in his heart.
It can be regarded as the first confrontation between the two armies, but it is so weird and... useless.
The other side didn't say a word, no one was hurt, and they won the battle just by using a few smoke bombs. No matter from which angle you look at it, it sounds very cowardly.
It's so weird that I'm afraid no one will believe it if I tell them.
Guessing what he was thinking, Asher patted him gently, "Without knowing what the other party is doing, this result is not bad. Even Ye Jin doesn't know what the mist is. We don't need to take risks."
"Yeah." Oliver looked at him, "I know, it's just a little frustrating. And if I wasn't there, you would probably rush over to see what was going on, and at least you could catch someone back."
"Who knew they would resort to such despicable tactics?" Asher pinched his nose, "But it doesn't matter, we can get back at it next time."
"Why did Ah Huang pull me just now?" Mu Hanye also asked.
"Should I push you out?" Wong Tai Sin looked at him.
"It is easy for me to hold my breath and catch two people and bring them back for trial." Mu Hanye said.
"What if there is a sword forest and sword rain Bagua formation in the fog?" Huang Daxian said, "Zhou Jue is not a mediocre person, he has many tricks up his sleeve."
Mu Hanye sighed, "Ah Huang really cares about me."
"At least before I left the snowfield, I had never seen this kind of turbid smoke." Wong Tai Sin said, "I don't know who else he found."
"Actually, it's a good thing for the Emperor of Chu and the people." Mu Hanye said.
"Why?" Wong Tai Sin frowned in confusion.
"If it hadn't been for Zhou Jue, all these crooked and evil people would have been scattered in the Chu Kingdom." Mu Hanye said, "Normally, it would be inevitable for them to come out and cause trouble, and they would have to ask the government and Leader Shen to eliminate them. Now there is Zhou Jue. Jue, he has the ability to collect all these people and raise them in the snowy plains of the far north. It is convenient for us to deal with them at once, and the people can not be harassed by them. It is naturally a good thing. "
Wong Tai Sin was speechless and felt that what he said seemed to be right.
"He is lucky." Mu Hanye continued.
Wong Tai Sin becomes more and more confused, "Good luck"
"You can actually grow up with my Ah Huang." Mu Hanye was angry.
Huang Daxian said with difficulty, "I didn't stay in the underground palace for a long time, and I rarely saw him."
"That won't work either." Mu Hanye glared fiercely, and felt relieved after thinking about it, "Ah Huang is so considerate and knows how to comfort my broken heart."
Wong Tai Sin: ...
I'm just stating the facts.
Relatively speaking, Ye Jin was not in the mood to talk at all. After returning to the camp with the vanguard, he checked, diagnosed and treated them one by one. Shen Qianfan and Liancheng Guyue were also surprised after hearing about the situation in the canyon.
"He is indeed someone raised by Zhou Jue." Shen Qianfan was furious, "He is timid and treacherous."
"The wind direction on the snowfield is regular, and it's not difficult to master it." Liancheng Guyue said, "Zhou Jue stays here all year round, so he has to find something to do."
"This tactic can only be used once. It will be useless outside the canyon. There is no need to study it thoroughly." Shen Qianfeng said, "The most urgent task is to find out what the smoke is. It can't be useless after all the trouble."
"Did sister-in-law find anything?" Shen Qianfan asked.
Shen Qianfeng shook his head and said, "You'd better not provoke him."
Shen Qianfan said with mixed feelings, "But I am a general, I can't not go to visit the soldiers. Besides, I also want to know the origin of those smokes as soon as possible."
"Of course you can visit, but you'd better not talk to Xiaojin." Shen Qianfeng said, "According to his temperament, he will naturally say something after he is found out. If he is not found out, it is useless to ask, and it will easily burn his hair."
Shen Qianfan didn't give up, "Not even a single word?" At least I have something to worry about!
"No." Shen Qianfeng frowned, "Otherwise, I'll beat you up."
Shen Qianfan felt impatient and aggrieved, and really wanted to fight with his brother.
Of course this is just a thought.
Because it can't be beaten at all.
As Shen Qianfeng said, Ye Jin was indeed very irritable at this time. Although the soldiers who were hit by the smoke were fine for the time being, the more fine they were, the more worried he became. If there were any signs, at least he could know what it was. This kind of hanging people in the middle was the most torturous.
Just a few hundred smoke bombs were enough to knock down the vanguard of the Chu army. Ye Jin almost felt dizzy. Of course, the Chu army was too careless and underestimated the enemy. It was also because Zhou Jue did not play by the rules. In addition, everyone was not familiar with this snowy land, which led to such an incredible battle situation. But even so, Ye Jin still felt very depressed. He ran into the tent three times within an hour and asked everyone if they felt uncomfortable.
The result is naturally no.
Seeing that he was about to go out for the fourth time, Shen Qianfeng sighed and pulled him back, "Calm down first."
"Yeah." Ye Jin had a headache.
"Be obedient." Shen Qianfeng patted him, "Some things can't be rushed."
"I---"
"I know." Shen Qianfeng interrupted him, "There are military doctors in the barracks, but they can only treat common illnesses, so you feel that you have a responsibility and obligation to find out the whole story."
Ye Jin was silent.
Shen Qianfeng hugged him into his arms and said, "Take a rest first."
Ye Jin put her arms around his waist.
"Even if you didn't hold me back, even if I really captured those rebels, do you think they would tell the truth about the smoke? Zhou Jue is not stupid." Shen Qianfeng patted him on the back, "So there is nothing to feel guilty about. Besides, in that situation, Asher and King Mu would not dare to take risks easily."
Ye Jin buried her face in his chest and said nothing.
Frankly speaking, he did feel that it was inappropriate for him to stop Shen Qianfeng. After all, according to his martial arts skills, it should be no problem for him to break through the smoke array and catch someone. Asher didn't go because he had to take care of Oliver, but he had no problem holding his breath for a short time, so holding him back seemed a little... too impulsive.
But it has happened, and there is no point in thinking about it now. When I saw that weird scene, I felt a little numb in my heart. Naturally, I instinctively didn't want him to take risks, not even a little bit.
To put it bluntly, it's just because of selfish thoughts.
When it comes to the person they love, I'm afraid there are few people in this world who can be completely open-minded.
"Valley Master." A guard hurriedly ran over, "There are two people in the vanguard. Something seems wrong. Please go and take a look."
