Until he left Lingwu City, Miao Jinqing was still in a state of dizziness, and Qin Ji's sudden departure made him a little baffled. However, seeing that Qin Ji always looked on full alert, Miao Jinqing suddenly shuddered, and the whole person was completely energetic in an instant.

"Qin Zhonglang will be so fully guarded, could it be that someone will sneak attack?"

Qin Ji immediately looked at the pitch-black void and replied expressionlessly:

"Qin has a mission, so he has to be careful!"

Miao Jinqing felt that what Qin Ji said was not the truth, and secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that Li Fuguo had secretly arranged manpower and planned to attack and kill him at night? But after thinking about it carefully, this is also not logical, in terms of the current situation, it is in the best interest of Li Fuguo for Qin Ji to return to Chang'an safely, otherwise once Qin Ji encounters an accident, the imperial court is likely to postpone the plan to welcome back the Son of Heaven on the grounds that the road is not quiet.

Moreover, Qin Ji's early departure from the city was also specially approved by Li Fuguo, it can be said that the whereabouts of this horse team are under Li Fuguo's control, with the shrewdness and prudence of this lieutenant general, he will never expose his whereabouts to those who are careful.

If it wasn't Li Fuguo that Qin Ji was guarding against, then who would it be? Miao Jinqing racked his brains and couldn't figure out who had such great ability and guts to attack the Shenwu Army in the territory of Guannei Dao.

About fifty miles away from Lingwu, the eastern sky was already faintly white, Miao Jinqing's heart was slightly lowered, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as soon as the sky was bright, he could see through more than ten miles with the naked eye, even if there was an ambush, it was clear at a glance.

However, what made Miao Jinqing strange was that Qin Ji still looked extremely nervous. He really couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, so he talked to Qin Ji side by side, hoping to find out some inside story.

However, Qin Ji obviously did not hide Miao Jinqing's intentions, and bluntly said what the threat he was worried about was. But after Miao Jinqing heard it, he felt incredible, thinking that Qin Ji was teasing himself.

Miao Jinqing's face was full of disapproval and fell into Qin Ji's eyes, and he naturally understood what he was thinking.

"Miao Shilang may not know that when the Tubo people were defeated, some of them did not return to Tubo, but fled to Shuofang Prefectures, and Qin had been attacked by them when he came...... It also saves the trouble of cleaning up in the future!"

"Are the Tibetans really scattered in the Shuofang Prefectures?

Seeing what Qin Ji said, Miao Jinqing was skeptical, but he thought that there were often food teams around Lingwu that were inexplicably attacked, maybe it was related to the Tubo people, so he felt that what Qin Ji said should be true.

The horse team walked for most of the day, and seeing that the terrain in front of them was undulating and the woodland was increasing, Qin Ji warned Miao Jinqing in a low voice:

"The terrain ahead is complicated, and there may be an ambush, so Miao Shilang must follow closely at that time, otherwise once he falls behind, he may be more auspicious and less ......"

"Zhonglang will rest assured, even if it falls into the hands of thieves, Miao would rather die than insult the integrity of the Tang courtiers, and commit suicide to thank the Son of Heaven!"

Miao Jinqing was so excited that his face turned red, which made Qin Ji have a slight change in his opinion. Before coming, Qin Ji had a basic understanding of the people and things of Lingwu. Li Heng, the son of heaven, is just a crippled puppet who can't take care of himself, and Li Fuguo only gained a firm foothold in Lingwu by manipulating Li Heng. A large number of civil servants and military generals gathered around Li Fuguo with various thoughts, in order to make great progress in the officialdom.

This rumor in Guanzhong is said to be inseparable from Cui Yuan and Miao Jinqing.

Qin Ji now looked at Miao Jinqing's rather straightforward style, and felt that this person might indeed target Doctor Qin and the Shenwu Army, but he could also be regarded as a person with some loyalty and integrity.

However, a little change in opinion does not mean anything, in the final analysis, Cui Yuan and Miao Jinqing are on the opposite side of Doctor Qin and the Shenwu Army, if there is a serious conflict in the future, he will not hesitate to stand on Doctor Qin's side.

Suddenly, the horse galloped back.

"Report, a suspicious horse team was found in front, and the number is unknown!"

When Qin Ji ascended to the horse, he looked at it, and saw that there was smoke and dust faintly rising in the distance. Obviously, the enemy situation in front of him was unknown, and he immediately made a decision and ordered the whole horse team to gallop eastward to avoid the possible ambush ahead.

This sudden change made Miao Jinqing's heart pound, and he almost jumped out of his throat.

The fall of Chang'an is, Miao Jinqing has already been frightened once, and took his family to go through all kinds of hardships to arrive at Lingwu safely, at that time, every day and night of fear and fear still can't help but shiver in retrospect, at this time suddenly immersed again, the nervous whole back is swishing in a cool breeze, out of a cold sweat,

Don't look at what Miao Jinqing said about righteousness, but after all, he is also a human being, and he will be nervous and afraid, but fortunately, the equestrian is okay, and he just followed the horse team to the east and did not fall behind.

The horse team led by Qin Ji was all one person and two horses, and the people and horses did not stop until sunset. After half a day of bumps, Miao Jinqing only felt that his two thighs were no longer obedient, and he barely got off the horse with the support of Qin Ji, but after his feet touched the ground, he found that the pain in the inner thighs of the two thighs was like a fire.

Seeing Miao Jinqing stiff his legs, cleaving his hips, and walking in a very strange posture, Qin Ji immediately understood that this was something he had also experienced when he first joined the cavalry.

Fortunately, Qin Ji did not ridicule Miao Jinqing for this, otherwise Miao Jinqing would have committed suicide in shame.

Miao Jinqing used the excuse of being flattering, found a place where no one could see, and took a closer look, the flesh and blood that had been rubbed on the inner sides of the two thighs were blurred, and there was no retinue and wound medicine in this barren mountain and wild range, so he could only forcibly grit his teeth and endure it.

When he looked at the serious-looking Qin Ji squatting on the ground studying and calculating a map, his heart sank again, and an ominous premonition came to his heart. The people around Qin Ji were lying all over the ground, and the soldiers were seizing all the time to rest, except for the sound of the wind blowing from time to time in the entire woodland, it was the sound of light sound one after another.

When Qin Ji heard the movement, he raised his head and saw that it was Miao Jinqing, so he said:

"The Tubo people have caught up, and the distance between us is about ten miles away at this time!"

Sure enough, the ominous premonition was fulfilled, Miao Jinqing stomped his feet and asked:

"What should we do? then, why don't we hurry up, hurry up and ......."

He wanted to say that he would run away, but he immediately realized that saying this had ruined his morale, so he changed his words again:

"Hurry up and transfer ......"

Qin Ji smiled:

"If the Tubo people intended to attack, they would have been posted a long time ago, and they would have followed from afar, I am afraid that there are other attempts!"

Miao Jinqing was skeptical of Qin Ji's statement, but looking at him with a confident look, he felt that this Qin Ji was not only cautious, but also bold.

Miao Jinqing also has some understanding of the generals around Qin Jin, like Qin Yan and Qin Xuan, these people are said to be born as slaves in their families, and when they were in Hedong, in addition to their lowly status, they joined the Shenwu Army. He had always thought that these house slaves had been promoted by being sheltered, and at this time it seemed that they were not all as unbearable as he imagined.

At least judging from the current observations, Qin Ji is still a calm and witty person, and quite courageous.

In fact, Qin Ji had always sent a probe horse to keep a close eye on the movements of the Tubo people, and if they made any changes, they immediately evacuated from this place.

Tanma came back one after another, and the news brought back also made Qin Ji more and more alarmed, there was more than one group of Tubo people nearby, and in less than two hours of night, there were already three groups of Tubo people gathered ten miles away in the west.

Obviously, the Tibetans have big plans. He suddenly felt that the situation was a little tricky, and if they completely peeked into his own details, I was afraid that it would be difficult for these 180 people to return to Chang'an.

With a soft whistle, the soldiers who were originally lying on the ground to rest jumped up.

"Listen to the order, get on the horse, and get ready for battle!"

Qin Ji's order frightened Miao Jinqing so much that he almost lost his soul, and just now he said that the Tubo people would not attack, so why did they have to fight against the enemy now? Fortunately, Qin Ji also took care of Miao Jinqing, and allocated five people to protect him in the woods, and the rest of the people immediately got on their horses and prepared to attack.

Miao Jinqing waited tremblingly in the woods, waiting for the time to pass minute by minute, they had already agreed that if the sky was bright and no one came back, he must leave this place as soon as possible, as for whether he wanted to return to Chang'an or return to Lingwu, it was all up to his own will.

The five remaining soldiers were quite calm, only sitting cross-legged and resting with their eyes closed. Miao Jinqing secretly complained, thinking that returning to Chang'an would only experience some more fatigue at most, who would have thought that he would have to bear this kind of anxiety of life and death.

Faintly, you can hear the rumbling sound in the distance, like an oppressive thunder.

Seeing that the sky was about to brighten, Qin Ji and the horse team he took away still hadn't come back, Miao Jinqing was so anxious that his palms were full of sweat, once the sky was bright, maybe he would have to rely on the protection of these five people to go on the road alone.

Unconsciously, Miao Jinqing only felt a heavy knock on his head, and opened his eyes suddenly, only to see that Qin Ji was already standing in front of him at some point.

"Will Zhonglang return triumphantly?"

Miao Jinqing rubbed his eyes, only to see that almost everyone of Qin Ji and the others were injured, but their faces were full of undisguised excitement and exhaustion, obviously the result of tonight's surprise counterattack was good.

"Triumph is not enough, I have taken the Tubo people around in circles for most of the night, and now I am sleepy and tired!"

Seeing Qin Ji say this, Miao Jinqing finally put his mind at ease.

"Then, Nazhonglang will rest for half a day, and then it's not too late to leave......"

Qin Ji waved his hand and said:

"I can't rest, we have to go now, taking advantage of the dizziness of the Tubo people, we must at least keep a distance of more than thirty miles from the Tubo people to be safe!"

On this day, they were in no danger and finally arrived at Xiaoguan safely before sunset.
