Chapter 219 Memories
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
Commander An was the first to react, lunging at Sima Yu from his horse, but the arrow came hurtling towards him with unstoppable force.
Even though Commander An had reacted as quickly as possible, both of them fell off their horses and landed on the ground, and a gasp of shock filled the air.
"hiss."
Sima Yu clutched his shoulder, where an arrow had pierced through, and blood was seeping from a dark, bloody hole.
"Xiao Yuheng?"
These three words were practically spat out from between Sima Yu's teeth. He was helped to his feet and stared fiercely at the dark spot on the mountainside.
The army of Bei Li grew even more terrified when they saw their king was wounded.
Especially upon hearing the name Xiao Yuheng, he almost lost his grip on the sword.
Time seemed to have passed for a long time; the cold wind stung his cheeks, but Sima Yi's gaze remained fixed on the mountainside.
half an hour.
Just as Commander An was about to ask a question, Sima Yu slowly said, "Well done, Your Highness the Regent. It's been a few years, and your archery skills have become even more accurate."
Time passed second by second, and Sima Yu's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
"Your Majesty, I will cover you, but we should retreat as soon as possible, lest we be unable to leave later."
Commander An felt a sense of foreboding and all he wanted to do was get Sima Yu away from here as quickly as possible.
"Walk?"
"Humph."
All they heard was a cold, sharp voice that drifted lightly through the valley, yet it carried an immense, oppressive weight that made it hard to breathe.
"I knew it was you."
Sima Yu watched as the jet-black steed slowly emerged from the black shadows.
He wore a suit of armor that gleamed with a cold light; it was a suit of armor crafted by the finest artisans, every inch of which exuded an indestructible power.
Every detail on the armor has been meticulously crafted, from the griffin relief on the shoulders to the breastplate.
He sat upright on the horse, which was also clad in armor, its mane fluttering in the wind, as if breathing the air of the battlefield with its master.
His eyes were deep and sharp, as if they could pierce through the fog of the battlefield and strike straight at people's hearts.
It was a look of utter disdain, full of confidence and authority.
His gaze swept across the surroundings, and whether they were friend or foe, they could all feel an undeniable sense of oppression.
He doesn't need to say a word; the kingly aura he exudes from within is enough to inspire awe.
It's like an insurmountable mountain, inspiring awe and reverence.
His posture was upright, and even on the battlefield amidst the chaos of war, he remained as composed as a statue.
His very existence is the most powerful response to all the challengers around him.
He wasn't fighting; he was ruling, using his disdainful gaze to tell everyone who truly ruled this land.
Suddenly, everyone's gazes moved slowly and in unison, finally settling on the magnificent horse behind the man, which looked as if it were carved from white jade.
On the horse's back sat a person of slightly thin build, but due to the distance and dim lighting, his face was difficult to see clearly.
"Sima Yu."
A deep and magnetic voice rang out, the call seemingly traveling through time and space, carrying an inexplicable pressure.
Regent Xiao Yuheng stood tall and straight like a pine tree, holding the reins at a leisurely pace. His gleaming black horse followed closely behind, and he strolled towards Sima Yu in this relaxed manner.
Each step was so steady and powerful that it seemed to make the earth tremble.
"How dare you address my lord by his given name!"
Commander An was furious, his eyes wide open and his face full of rage.
Although the person before him was the Regent, whom the entire continent feared and dreaded, he showed no fear and resolutely stepped forward to protect Sima Yu, displaying an unyielding strength that made him an invincible figure.
However, Xiao Yuheng seemed oblivious to Commander An's angry rebuke. His deep, ocean-like eyes never left Sima Yu, and a slight, ambiguous smile played on his lips as he said, "It's been so long, and you're still in such a sorry state."
Upon hearing this, Sima Yu's face instantly turned ashen, and his body trembled involuntarily. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, in an attempt to control the surging emotions within him.
But his gaze was fixed like a nail on the arrogant, haughty man on horseback.
At the same time, scenes from the past flashed through Sima Yu's mind like a revolving lantern.
Suddenly, a scene freezes on that snowy night many years ago...
The snow fell heavily and incessantly, covering the world in a blanket of white.
Inside a brightly lit tent, a slightly immature young general sat upright at a table, his head bowed as he intently read the battle report in his hands.
Hearing the shouts from outside the door, the boy slowly raised his head. His face had not yet fully developed, but his features still revealed him to be a handsome man.
This is Xiao Yuheng from a few years ago, who is now the ruthless regent.
"Your Highness, while cleaning up the battlefield, I unexpectedly discovered a child who still had a faint breath." The guard bowed his head respectfully, not daring to look directly at the young prince before him.
It should be noted that this was the prince's first time stepping onto the battlefield.
At first, people were not convinced by him, after all, he was young and had no practical experience.
However, unexpectedly, his swift and decisive actions and unique and bizarre tactics on the battlefield enabled his army to advance unstoppably, causing the Northern Li people's army to retreat in defeat.
Now, this fierce battle has finally ended in a great victory for our side. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the Northern Li had no choice but to send envoys to sue for peace and agree to sign the surrender document on a later date.
"Child?"
Upon hearing this news, the boy, who had been focused on what he was doing, frowned slightly, a look of confusion on his face.
How could a child appear on this battlefield filled with smoke and blood? It's truly baffling.
"Your Highness, that is indeed the case. After discovering the child, I sent someone to bring him here. Please decide how to handle him," the guard replied hastily.
