Chapter 688: Stacked

The night in Jingtang Pass was dark, and only a few barking dogs could be heard in the distance. Luo Qi's body was like smoke, and under the cover of a few poplar trees, he jumped and moved dexterously on the roof, getting closer and closer to the camp.

There were several lanterns hanging around the camp, and the dim light seemed to dim in the night. Occasionally, patrolling soldiers walked by in a procession, and the sound of shouting passwords sounded in the distance, but they were not really heard.

Very similar to the layout of the border city camp, the tent in the Jingtang Pass is also set up on the open ground in the depths of the camp, in order to prevent people from coveting, there is no cover around, so that people have nowhere to hide.

Luo Qi thought hard about how to get close to the handsome tent and see who there were. However, the lanterns around the tent were hung high, reflecting as bright as day. She did not dare to risk her life, so she could only make a small number around the camp, and deduce that there were not many defenders in the city, only in the number of twenty or thirty thousand.

Seeing that the east was gradually turning white, Luo Qi did not dare to stay near the camp any longer, so he could only quietly turn around. She found an uninhabited house, hid it on the beams, and planned to wait until dark before leaving the city.

It is also the wish of heaven and people, and this hiding actually made Luo Qi see the figure of the traitor Huang Jie.

It turned out that Huang Jie had entered Jingtang Pass, joined forces with Tong Dahai to rectify the army and order in the city, and took a team of soldiers to search for the city every morning and evening. Today, when the day was about to dawn, he rode out of the barracks again and searched around the city.

Luo Qi heard the sound of the horse's hooves from far and near, and was afraid that he was hiding and revealing himself, so he broke out in a cold sweat. She hooked her slender jade foot to the roof beam, and an upside-down golden hook leaned down, looked out of the hidden window, and saw that it was just a group of soldiers looking for the city, so she quietly relieved herself.

At a glance from afar, Luo Qi saw Huang Jie, who was surrounded by soldiers and walking in the center. I had seen his appearance when he was in the border city, and Luo Qi judged the identity of the other party from a silhouette alone, and became more and more sure that Su Duhan was also in the city.

However, Luo Qi could only continue to be invisible, she was in a hurry to send the news out, and she didn't dare to search around.

After hiding for a whole day, taking advantage of the dark night of the second day, Luo Qicai, who was dressed in black, quietly sneaked out of Jingtang Pass. She began to walk through the snow without a trace, crossed the Black Mountain Pass before dawn, and returned to the border city camp.

went for two whole nights and one day, and all the generals in the city, including Li Zhifang, were sweating for Luo Qi, and now seeing her appear in the camp unscathed, everyone praised and sighed, and became more and more curious and admiring about these secret guards around the old lady.

Luo Qi hurriedly washed his face, and then reported the news to Li Zhifang, saying that there were about 20,000 or 30,000 men and horses in Jingtang Pass, and because he didn't see their drills clearly, he didn't know what his combat strength was. And he did find Huang Jie's traces, still wearing a general uniform, but unfortunately he never saw Su Duhan with his own eyes.

On that day, these people went out of the Black Mountain Pass together, and they must have gone to the same place.

Since Huang Jie is hiding in Jingtang Pass, Su Guangfu and Su Duhan will definitely take refuge in the city. When the soldiers heard the news, they all geared up, and they couldn't wait to send troops to Jingtang Pass immediately, and let it go to the Longtan Tiger's Den to break through.

For the sake of prudence, Li Zhifang ordered the generals not to act rashly. Just listening to Luo Qi's narration, he already knew that the Jingtang Pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, when sending troops from the border city, it is necessary to cross the small road in the Black Mountain Pass, and thousands of troops and horses cross the single-plank bridge, and after a long march, the news will inevitably leak.

At that time, the Jingtang Pass side will rely on the favorable time and place, and wait for work at ease, although its own side has the advantage of troops, if it wants to take Jingtang Pass, the casualties will be heavy.

It is absolutely impossible to let the soldiers die like this for the sake of a Su Duhan, Li Zhifang asked the generals to be calm and not impatient, and solve a few problems for the sake of today's plan, so as to be surprisingly victorious.

First, Li Zhifang was puzzled, and how to solve the problem of the supply of grain and grass in the depths of the snow-capped mountains in Jingtang Pass? If the source of its grain and grass can be found, it will fundamentally cut off its back road, and it will be even stronger than a large army pressing the border.

Second, if we really want to attack Jingtang Pass, is there any other road feasible besides the Black Mountain Pass? It is best to find a wide road and make the generals of the three armies march quickly, so that they can quietly appear under Jingtang Pass and take them by surprise.

A Jingtang Pass is implicated in the great crime of rebellion between Su Duhan, the king of Abolishing An, and the entire Millennium Sect, and also affecting the safety of the two friendly states of Jian'an and Kangnan.

Looking at Li Zhifang and the generals discussing how to deal with Jingtang, Luo Qi quietly said goodbye and slowly walked to Chu Zhaohui's big tent, wanting to go in and say hello to her.

Mingzhu smiled and lifted the curtain and invited her in. Luo Qi raised his eyes and looked over, and saw that the big tent was much warmer than when he left in the moon, Chu Zhaohui and Concubine Xin were sitting on the big kang doing needlework.

On the big kang near the window, there is a red sandalwood carved gold silk cloud leg fine tooth table, on which is a light blue cloisonné enamel dendrobium, in which a bush of wild flowers can be seen everywhere, vigorous and vibrant.

The curtains and mattresses were remade from the tie-dyed cloth bought at the bazaar a year ago, and the large flowers were vigorous and simple, colorful and splendid.

Many things are Chu Zhaohui's daily use, but now they have been brought here by Concubine Xin for thousands of miles, and they have been put up according to Chu Zhaohui's previous preferences, adding a lot of fireworks.

Luo Qi hurriedly walked a few steps forward to ask for peace, Chu Zhaohui had already gotten up from the kang and held her hand affectionately: "Don't be polite, I didn't expect to see you again so soon, the old lady has always been good?"

Concubine Xin also got up with a smile, took water from the copper basin on one side, cleaned her hands, and personally poured tea for the two.

Looking at the two people in front of him, a faint pain quietly rose in Luo Qi's heart.

Except for the cold noise on the scene, Luo Qiwei really didn't know how to open his mouth to mention the discovery of Jingtang Pass to Chu Zhaohui.

At that time, I thought it was a strong man who broke his wrist, and the cutting of the robe in front of the Black Mountain Pass was already the last love between mother and son, but now it is full of storms, she wants to tear Chu Zhaohui's already scabbed wound open again, and then let her face the bloody reality.

Seeing Luo Qi biting his lower lip tightly, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, Chu Zhaohui gently put down the cup in his hand.

A few days ago, he had already learned about Jingtang Pass from Li Zhifang's mouth, and when he heard that the Millennium Sect was still fighting hard, Chu Zhaohui had all the flavors in his heart, and he couldn't say anything.

If the son dies in the world from now on, even if the mother and son do not interact with each other for the rest of their lives, they will have nothing to worry about, as if they don't know which day now, they will meet each other on the battlefield again, and fight to the death.

Listening to Luo Qi explain everything in Jingtang Guanzhong, the more Chu Zhaohui listened, the more his heart sank, as if he was soaked in ice water, and as if he was tormented by hot oil, he couldn't say whether he was sad or happy.
