Seeing that Mai Xiaoji only chose two things, Tuoba Tao was very reluctant to go, and several generals were also very moved. If you don't pick a gift, you are destined to owe him endless favors, and seeing the consciousness of others, he only took a set of cups and an ancient sword.

After three more days, Mai Xiaoji was so excited that he could not be more excited, because he was only a day's journey away from the navigation destination at most, and he could meet the legendary heroine soon.

"Brother Mai, what are your plans for the future?" asked Tuoba Tao.

"Of course, let's go to Cloudsdale first!" said McXiaoji casually.

"I mean, after that. ”

"Go home. ”

Tuoba Tao's expression was a little complicated, he paused, and said sincerely: "Don't Brother Mai want to stay? I will definitely fulfill all of Brother Mai's wishes." ”

"Hehe, Brother Tao, I appreciate your kindness. However, you also have to learn to grow up on your own. Mai Xiaoji lowered his voice and said with a straight face: "If I stay, can your ministers be happy? ”

For a long time, Tuoba Tao couldn't speak. Don't talk about those ministers, even themselves, they also have some jealousy of Mai Xiaoji. It's a pity that such talents can't stay by their side for a long time.

"Brother Mai, what if you can't find the person you're looking for?" Tuoba Tao talked a bit nonsense, but Mai Xiaoji didn't care, and said: "I must do my best to find it, even if I can't find it, I have tried my best, and I still have to go back if I should go back." ”

"When will we see each other after we are separated?" asked Tuoba Tao.

"Haha, it's too early to say this, I won't be able to leave for a while. Mai Xiaoji waved his hand and said secretly, after all, he is a child and is very dependent on adults.

But Tuoba Tao's question didn't seem to be over, and he asked inexplicably, "Brother Mai, if the junior brother does something wrong, will you be angry?"

"Hehe, I don't lose my temper easily, unless you want to rob me of my!" Mai Xiaoji smiled, Tuoba Tao also smiled, and glanced at Ji Manli with a hint of timidity, such a master, he can't surrender.

Finally, the end of navigation has arrived, Cloudsdale!

It is not a castle in the sky in a dream, but a large castle with a sturdy wall of 50 meters, and it is said that there are 80,000 troops inside. It's just that there are 200,000 troops of Rouran outside, a group of 50,000, guarding the four city gates.

Moreover, Rouran also built fortifications outside, and it was difficult to rush in, and it was even more difficult to get out inside.

The army was stationed far away, and Mai Xiaoji looked in the direction of Cloud City from afar, and began to mutter. The Rouran army of the two adjacent gates was not very far away and could move quickly.

Even if the soldiers and horses in the city forcibly broke through successfully and converged smoothly, but with the addition of Tuoba Tao's troops, they might not be able to fight.

"Your Majesty, the spies sent by Rouran have been captured at the front, but I am afraid that they have already learned the news of the arrival of our army. General Zhu Mu reported.

"You can't hide it from them. Tuoba Tao disagreed, and asked, "What can the other party do?"

"Rou Ran did not give up Cloud City, and at this time transferred elite soldiers to strengthen at the east city gate. Zhu Mu said.

Tuoba Tao's brows immediately locked into a pimple, it seems that Rou Ran has long been aware of their movements, and the east gate where the guards are strengthened is the direction where the army is stationed.

"Explore!" commanded Tuobatao.

"Yes!" General Zhu Mu immediately got up, but his body shook for a while, the back of his head was facing down, and the whole person lay straight down. Mai Xiaoji's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly rushed forward, but he was still a step too late.

Just when General Zhu Mu was about to fall to the ground, everyone only saw a figure blowing a breeze, and then Ji Manli caught General Zhu Mu. Zhu Mu's eyes showed tenderness, and he couldn't help but hold Ji Manli with one hand and thanked him.

Ji Manli pulled out her hand, picked up General Zhu Mu's collar and placed him on the felt. Zhu Mu looked very weak, crystal sweat dripping down his sideburns, but his face was red, as if he had a strange disease.

"Amu!"

Tuoba Tao was taken aback, hurriedly stepped forward, and said angrily: "I don't know if you are so sick, why didn't you tell Yu Zhen in advance." ”

Zhu Muxi moved his slightly dry lips and smiled miserably, "Your Majesty, Amu Sheng is Your Majesty's person, and death is Your Majesty's ghost, I only hate Cloud City ahead, but I am sick." ”

"Quickly pass on the military doctor!" Tuoba Tao said urgently.

"Your Majesty, it's not in the way, but I feel hot and cold, and I'm very tired. Amu was brave and wanted to sleep in His Majesty's marching camp for a day, save up enough energy, and then go into battle to kill the enemy for His Majesty. Zhu Mu gasped.

"Amu, what's so difficult about this. Come, I'll help you!" Tuoba Tao's eyes were moist, and he personally helped Zhu Mu up, and Mai Xiaoji didn't want him to hold Ji Manli's hand all the time, so he squeezed over and put Zhu Mu's other arm on his shoulder.

It's so light, Mai Xiaoji even suspects that Amu's weight is not as heavy as the armor on her body, and she is not good.

Putting Zhu Mu on the blanket in the corner, Tuoba Tao covered her with a quilt again, and choked up: "I, Tuoba Tao, swear that if I can break through the difficulties, I will definitely be a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people!"

"Your Majesty......"

Zhu Mu squinted his eyes and shouted vaguely, and soon fell asleep. You can feel the heat on his body at close range, the injuries on his body have not healed, it is estimated that it is inflamed, but Mai Xiaoji does not want to ask for help from the divine doctor, everyone has their own fate, especially the ancient people, it has long been a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed at will.

Subsequently, Tuoba Tao held a pre-war meeting in the big tent, and deliberately went to a place far away from General Zhu Mu, and asked in a low voice: "Everyone, please speak freely!"

At the moment, there seems to be no other way than to storm it. After the convergence, the disparity is not too great, and there is also the power of a war, after all, there are many examples in history of winning more with less.

But this has a premise, that is, the cooperation needs to be perfect, and it must be done inside and outside. It is indispensable to go to the city to ventilate and report the news, which is obviously very difficult.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates are willing to be messengers!" Zhu Mu in the corner shouted, but there was no follow-up, and then he fell asleep again, perhaps in a slight coma, looking a small one, and feeling more and more pitiful.

Tuoba Tao gently wiped away his tears, thought for a long time, and said quietly: "Under the strong attack, both sides will be defeated, and the people will not be able to make a living, but I am afraid that before they recover, Rouran will make a comeback." ”

"Your Majesty, there is no good way to preserve your strength at the moment. General He scratched his head anxiously.

"Not necessarily, there is no endless way. ”

Tuoba Tao looked at Mai Xiaoji again, but his eyes drooped and he didn't say anything about it. After discussing for almost an hour, there was no good countermeasure, and he couldn't rush for a while, so Tuoba Tao sighed and ordered a rebellion, and continued to discuss it in the afternoon.

Lunch was improved, but Tuoba Tao had no appetite, Mai Xiaoji ate very well and gave him a reassurance: "Brother Tao, don't worry, you will definitely win this time." ”

"Hehe, but Brother Mai knows about divination?"

"Then you don't care. ”
