At dusk, they finally reached the northern border city of Angola.

The messenger sent by Yan Tianmu had already arrived before them, and in order to avoid trouble, they entered the city in a low-key manner and settled down in a small courtyard. Yan Tianmu cleaned up, went out directly, and went straight to the old general Qin who was guarding here. One is to visit the sick on behalf of the king, and the other is to feel the situation, Lei Yao's difficult situation here he already understands, and he also understands in his heart that foreign monks are not so good at chanting.

General Qin and Yan Jinglin have a good personal relationship, and they are both Lei Ba's old ministers. Lei Ba sent General Qin here before his death, and he has been stationed diligently for many years. Of course, in Anguo, their Qin family also has a pivotal position, most of the children of the Qin family are in the ranks, and the king is polite to them.

When General Qin saw Yan Tianmu, his spirit improved a lot, so he asked his family to prepare wine and food, and invited all the generals under his command to feast Yan Tianmu. Yan Tianmu didn't mention it much, and raised a glass to drink with everyone, setting up a lot of friendship. At this time, Lei Yao was in the camp closest to Zhou Guo 30 miles in front of the city.

The nights here are cold, and the chill of the daytime suppressed by the sun gradually spreads out as the night progresses. Lei Yao wore thin cotton clothes, but he still couldn't shake the cold, so he had to run outside for a while to have warmth. Lei Yao put down the pen in his hand, sighed, and walked out of the camp. Prepare to walk around and check the barracks by the way. Since the last time the grain and grass were burned, he basically slept for a while every night and got up to take a look. Although the soldiers' patrols had been strengthened, he could not be completely reassured.

It was cold, but the sky was clean and the stars were bright. He looked up, smiled slightly, and began to walk slowly along the usual route of the day. As he walked to the stable, a figure suddenly passed by, and it was very fast. He immediately ran to the stable, and found that some of the horses had fallen to the ground, and he told a group of soldiers who had just come to look for the horses at once, and he himself immediately flew after them.

The distance between the two of them was not very large, and Lei Yao chased him until he reached a nearby cliff, and the man stood in front of the cliff, and it seemed that he had planned to come here. Lei Yao couldn't see his appearance clearly, the man pulled down an iron chain from his waist, waved it and rushed towards Lei Yao, and the two fought on the cliff. The chain is very special, the knife can't be entangled, it will slide away, no matter how high your martial arts are, but you can't get close to the person who took it. Between the entanglements, the two of them changed positions, and the man pressed forward step by step, trying to force Lei Yao off the cliff. Lei Yao found that the situation was wrong, so he threw the knife, fought with his bare hands, and firmly grasped the chain in his hand, the man saw that he was invincible to Lei Yao, and instantly grabbed a handful of powder ash from his arms and threw it on Lei Yao's face, taking advantage of Lei Yao's chaos, and sent him down. The wind blew at the bottom of the cliff, and the man stood on the edge of the cliff to look at it, and quickly left.

Xiyan rested all night and felt less tired. In the morning, Yan Tianmu passed the word that today he would take her to Prince Gong's camp to discuss matters, which was related to the matters when she signed the contract. She changed into men's clothes, not wanting to attract attention in the barracks. Her face is particularly handsome against the warm blue robe, with white jade hair, like a handsome boy, looking in the mirror, she put on a cloak of the same color.

Yan Tianmu put her on a docile horse, and he led the horse to ride with her.

"What did you say?" Yan Tianmu frowned and looked at the deputy general kneeling on the ground, "Prince Gong didn't return overnight?"

"Chase a spy. Yesterday, several horses were killed, and when the prince found out, he went to chase the murderer, but he has not returned yet. The adjutant general reported truthfully.

"Why didn't you report such a big thing earlier?" Yan Tianmu asked sharply.

"Everyone discussed and waited, and now is it. The adjutant general whispered, "We also sent people to look for it, but after looking for a few hours, we didn't find the whereabouts of the prince." ”

"A bunch of rice buckets. Yan Tianmu gritted his teeth and scolded. Xi Yan, who was facing away from him, frowned, did something happen? Hearing that the lieutenant general had withdrawn from the camp, Xiyan quickly turned around.

"Nothing is going to happen, is it?" she asked, worried.

"It's hard to say right now. Yan Tianmu's anger did not subside, he saw Xi Yan's very worried appearance, and felt uncomfortable, "Do you seem to be worried about him?"

"Nonsense, he's my brother-in-law, what if something happens, what will my sister do?" Xiyan said angrily. "No, I'm going to look for it. With that, he was leaving.

Yan Tianmu grabbed her, "Where are you going to find it?"

"I looked over the topographical map and probably remembered something. Xiyan said in a deep voice, "I can't wait here. ”

"Got it. Yan Tianmu looked at her, "I'll accompany you." He knew that Xiyan had a promise to his sister, and he also understood that she would definitely not be here just waiting.

The two of them searched for clues in all directions, and after a long time of wandering through the fork in the forest, they actually came to the edge of a cliff. Empty. But there seemed to be a force in the darkness, and Xi Yan looked down from the cliff and found a knife hanging on a branch between the cliffs. Her lips trembled, and she almost cried out. Yan Tianmu saw that her face suddenly changed, her whole body trembled, and she also looked down, and when she saw it, he was also startled. Xiyan walked along the cliff in a panic, trying to find a way to go down, but there was nothing, and he wanted to go down unless he could fly.

"I'm going down. When Yan Tianmu grabbed her, afraid that she would lose her mind and fall, she said tremblingly.

"Are you crazy? There's no road here. Yan Tianmu shouted, wanting to make her sober.

"I must go down. Xiyan looked at him without flinching.

"No, I'm not going to let you do that. Yan Tianmu coldly refused.

"Please help me. Xiyan didn't have a single tear, only firmness and intolerance in his eyes.

"No way. Yan Tianmu didn't change his words, he turned around and walked back, "I'll find someone." ”

"Do you want to give Zhou Guo a chance, do you want to make chaos in the barracks?"

Yan Tianmu stopped, and he clenched his fist.

"Why do you have to go down?" he didn't look back.

"Then who is suitable now? Find someone else, no matter what happens to Prince Gong, the unfavorable news will still spread, if it is just speculation, there should be no big mess first. Xiyan walked behind him and said calmly, "You absolutely can't, you have to find a way to let me go down and take care of the situation, if you go, something happens, I can't deal with it at all." I don't understand the big truth, but I still know a little bit about the two evils. ”

"Do you think it makes sense to do this? Do you believe that he will still be alive?" Yan Tianmu turned around, her hair fluttering messily in the wind, and her expression was calm, not at all like the panic just now.

"Whether it makes sense or not, or whether I believe it or not, I have to do it. She looked at him, "Help me." ”

What was in her eyes? It was pain and sorrow, and she was anxious. She is like a woman who is desperate to save her sweetheart. What is hidden behind these seemingly normal words? No, he does not allow any possibility.

"If you want me to help you, then answer me first, I asked you to think about it, have you thought about it clearly?" his tone was mean, and even he couldn't bear it. "Now is a good time for you to answer. ”

Xiyan looked at him coldly, "Rob while it's hot?"

"No, I mentioned it to you a long time ago, but you never answered me. Yan Tianmu stretched out his hand, put her hair behind her ear, and looked straight into her eyes, "Now, tell me." ”

Xiyan bit her lip, looked at him deeply, and for the first time took the initiative to hug his waist, leaning on his chest without saying a word, Yan Tianmu also grabbed her and hugged her hard.

He never knew she was so smart, and he kept thinking that no matter what she said, he would never help her. But now, she didn't say anything, and he couldn't refuse.
