Chu, the second year of Longqing, winter, the seventh day of the first month of November. The snow is sunny and the sky is clear.

Prince Changping led the remnants of the original garrison pass and the nearby regiment to train the town to guard the pass, Situ Yi as a deputy marshal, deployed 50,000 troops to the south to the north of the king of Qin's army inside and outside the pass, led 5,000 cavalry, and went out of the pass to meet the vanguard of the Di soldiers.

At the head of the city, the north wind whistled through the remnants of snow, and the fine snow stars flew into the tight neckline, like ice needles into the bones. Her body trembled, and when Qin Nanxi came back to her senses, she realized that the palm clenched into a fist at the bottom of her sleeve had been bloodstained by her sharp nails. A thin pain, mixed with worry and vague fear, filled the bottom of my heart. The dark eyes were still reluctant to suck on the azure handsome flag that was fading away.

In the distance, in the billowing dust and smoke, the handsome flag stood in the air. I saw that above the floating dust, before the thousand horses, a blue flag, as clear and deep as the sky, the flag embroidered with gold silk "Situ" two big characters, proudly public, like the sun in the sky, the stinging people's hearts swayed.

"Marching and fighting, Yu Muyun is an ancestral ability, a natural ability. Miss Qin can rest assured that she will wait for him to triumph. On the contrary, Miss, you are in the back, and Mu Yun's mind is related, so you should use more thoughts in this city and on yourself. Liu Qi withdrew his gaze from the smoke and dust in the distance, and slowly fell on Qin Nanxi's somewhat pale face.

Qin Nanxi turned his head in response, only to see his gaze flying into the distance carelessly, falling lightly in the middle of the city tower, under the apricot-colored royal flag, he was seriously watching Prince Changping in the distance.

Qin Nanxi's eyebrows trembled slightly, and the doubts in his eyes flickered like waves.

Liu Qi turned his head and chuckled, lowered his voice and said, "As far as I know, the prince has sent his henchmen to secretly enter Chang'an City and go to Chongyi Fang Qin Mansion. The young lady also knew that the two Lord Qin in the house, one of them did not agree with Mu Yun's politics, and the other not only obeyed the orders of this benevolent king, but also between him and Mu Yun..." After a while, he continued: "Besides, this virtuous and benevolent prince is very good at winning people's hearts, isn't Miss afraid that now without the support of the emperor, if he lobbied Lord Qin, wouldn't it be difficult for Miss and Mu Yun to be like a mountain?" ”

Qin Nanxi's eyes were slightly condensed when she heard this, and her eyes were like a sea of fog and clouds, and she was full of suspicions.

Obviously, Liu Qi didn't know that she left Ruoshui Nunnery with Situ Yi, and she had been approved by her father Qin Zi'an. Then he naturally wouldn't know that now, Xiaofei stays with his father, one is to do his filial piety for Qin Nanxi, and the other is to deliver news for Situ Yi.

Qin Nanxi once asked Situ Yi how to get his father Qin Zi'an's answer? Situ Yi said frankly at the time that when he learned that she had entered Ruoshui Nunnery on the order of the noble concubine, he sent someone to get in touch with Xiaofei. borrowed Xiaofei's mouth and begged Qin Zi'an to allow him to take Qin Nanxi away.

Xiao Fei didn't want Qin Nanxi to go into the nunnery to suffer herself, and she didn't know the old grievances between Qin Zi'an and Situ Yi. got the news of Situ Yi, so he naturally went to deliver the message. Since then, he has become the messenger of Situ Yi and Qin Zi'an. It's just that the master and apprentice generally judge the state of affairs in the world, and in order to protect each other, they don't often exchange messages. Therefore, Xiaofei, who was babbling, could always be by Qin Zi'an's side safely, and even Qin Nanfu didn't notice it.

Father and Situ Yi have long been suspicious, and the two coincide in the matter of King Qin. And these, Situ Yisi didn't tell her about the big things, Liu Qi didn't know about it! Liu Qi was originally very trusted and relied on Situ Yi, why would he hide all these important things from him? And Liu Qi, who has always been cold, why has he been uncharacteristically concerned about the marriage contract between Situ Yi and Qin Nanxi recently?

Thinking of this, Qin Nanxi suddenly remembered the puzzled flickering eyes in his eyes that night when Liu Qi gloomily claimed that he was going to part ways with Situ Yi......

After thinking about it secretly for a moment, Qin Nan forced down the doubts in his heart, nodded silently, and Shi Shiran blessed him, then got up and hurriedly went down the city gate.

Since then, Qin Nanxi has hid in the inner courtyard of the garrison mansion where he temporarily lives, and rarely takes half a step out of the inner courtyard. Although Prince Changping had the heart to listen to the information from her, he could only stop because of the distinction between monarchs and ministers, and there was a difference between men and women.

Outside the pass, Beidi Iron Cavalry has shown the state of a trapped beast.

Ten years ago, Situ Yi had already divided a road of elite light cavalry, and suddenly appeared in the rear of the Di army's forward team unconsciously, not to mention burning the military rations, but also with the help of the difficult terrain of the first line of the sky, the retreat of the enemy's forward was blocked.

This Di Bing striker, who was sealed in the valley by Situ Yi, is the most proud "Iron Thunderbolt" team of Wuda. And the commander of the "Iron Thunderbolt" this time is Wuda's most beloved eldest son and his carefully cultivated heir - Prince Di Helo.

Although Helo is also a rare brave man, he has never fought against Situ Yi. At this time, when he saw the Chu cavalry soldiers who were coming forward like dark clouds in the distance, he was full of anger and doubts, and turned around and asked sharply: "Isn't Situ Yi dead?" Why is it that the big banner says 'Situ'? ”

When everyone under the tent heard the young master asking, they were all frightened and silent. There was silence in the tent for a moment, and then Li San stepped out of the crowd.

He is still dressed in green clothes and scarves, and he is dressed like an ordinary scholar in the Central Plains. Walking to the hall and saluting Heroius, Li San said steadily: "Your Highness is a little safe, although it is indeed written on the flag of the military commander 'Situ', it may not be Situ Yi." The Duke of Chu Jingguo is surnamed Situ, and it is possible to pull out one or two people who can lead troops from it, under the banner of Situ. Moreover, the news of Situ Yi's death that day was the news that our subordinates heard from the servants in the Chu Palace, and it is unknown whether it is accurate or not! ”

After hearing this, Heluo glared at Li San, gritted his teeth and sneered: "At the beginning, Mr. claimed that Situ Yi was indeed dead, and Emperor Chu even wrote his nickname!" Now, the gentleman said that the message may not be accurate? Mr. reversed himself like this, was the intermediary inaccurate, or did Mr. deliberately do it? ”

Li San's sparse eyebrows jumped, and his brilliant eyes hurriedly drooped, avoiding Heluo's cold eyes, but the corners of his thin lips were faintly curved.

The analysis in that letter was correct, thinking that he Li San exhausted what he had learned all his life and supported Wuda to win the throne of Khan, so as to gain Wuda's trust and love. But Wuda is getting old after all, and Helo, who succeeded to the throne, has not been supported and helped by Li San, and he deeply hates his father's admiration for the Central Plains culture, so he has no good impression of Li San. If he doesn't want to try to return to the Central Plains, I'm afraid that after Wuda returns to heaven in the future, he will also end up dismally.

The man was right: 'The bird flies against its hometown, and the fox dies and must be the first hill'. He, Li San, had to defect to the enemy country as a last resort, hoping to use the power of Wuda to avenge the blood feud of the Li family. Now the man gave him another easy path, and after the deed was done, Guanglie Bogong returned to his name. Weighing the pros and cons, why wouldn't he do it?

Thinking of this time, Li San bowed down again, got up and said: "Li San is heartfelt, and it can be seen every day." If His Royal Highness still believes Li San. Please allow Li San to go and negotiate peace with Chu Shuai. ”

"Peace? Are you fools when the other party is? Do you want to take such a God-given opportunity? Helo was obviously mad by Li San, wheezing and wheezing, and kept circling in the small tent.

Li San was not in a hurry, and calmly arched his hand: "Even if the commander of the enemy army is indeed Situ Yi, it is not impossible for our side to get out of trouble. Because this time, he made a fatal mistake. ”

"Fatal mistake?" Helo's slender eyes flashed, he smacked his lips and thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "This king heard in the past that among you scholars in the Central Plains, some people have retreated from tens of thousands of enemy heroes just by relying on a clever mouth. Unexpectedly, this king will also see it for himself today! ”

Li San heard the meaning of Helo's agreement, bowed down and said with a smile: "Li San is deeply favored by the Great Khan, and he will not give up when he goes to the soup and fire!" ”
