After settling the three wounded, Tang Lang remembered the documents and maps collected from the Dark Flame Camp, found a relatively flat large stone, spread the map on it, and checked it with Ji Fengyu and the others.

"It turns out that the Dark Flame Legion that invaded Canglei this time is the two legions of Li Feng and Yokono, with a total of 40,000 horses, and there are 10,000 more than the information sent back before, which is really bad!" Xing Yizhi shook his head again and again while looking at the map.

"Not only that, but there are two other legions on the border to intimidate the Tianlan Empire, and in the short term, I am afraid that Tianlan will not be able to send reinforcements, so it is all up to us to fight alone. Bei Siqi's face was also bitter, and he felt that his hands and feet were cold.

Ji Fengyu didn't say a word, and it wasn't until he finished reading all the documents and letters that he let out a long breath: "This information is extremely important, we must immediately inform the emperor, the Tianqing army can't march rashly, otherwise it will crash into the encirclement of the two major armies of Dark Flame, and then there will be no power to return to the sky!"

Tang Lang and the others were even more worried when they heard this, and Ji Fengyu continued to add: "Not only that, but several sect-level powerhouses of Dark Flame are also on the way here, and Dongfang Shun is also alone, this time it is really a big trouble!"

"Mentor, don't we have any way? we can't sit idly by! Our relatives and friends are all in Canglei City, and we must go to the rescue!" Tang Lang was anxious, but he was helpless.

"For today's plan, there is only one word - drag! We must persuade the emperor to divide the army into pieces, use the entire Changping Prefecture as a battlefield, guerrilla harassment, and never fight a decisive battle with the Dark Flame army, and at the same time send capable people to lobby the Tianlan Empire, the Hongxu Principality, and the Bibang Kingdom, so that they can put on a military posture, so that the Dark Flame will inevitably have to withdraw its troops and return to defense. But in this way, Canglei City will become very dangerous, and there may be a catastrophe. ”

Ji Fengyu said the plan in his heart in a heavy tone, and he was immediately strongly opposed by everyone.

"It must not be like this! Give up Canglei City, the relatives are gone, and the academy is gone, so what's the point of us fighting with Dark Flame?" Rong Xingzhou couldn't care about the pain all over his body, and struggled to get up from the ground, and the rest of the people were also gossiping.

Jiang Dali saw that Tang Lang was silent, walked over and asked softly, "Tang Lang, what do you say?"

Tang Lang's eyes were extremely heavy, and he slowly raised his head and replied: "What the mentor said is not because he is ruthless, but the most reasonable arrangement in a situation where the enemy is strong and I am weak. But I have absolutely no way to calmly accept that Canglei City was conquered by the enemy and stand idly by, there is another option is to return to Canglei and fight the dark flame to the end!"

Jiang Dali's eyes looked at Tang Lang without blinking: "When will you leave?" ”

Tang Lang made up his mind, no longer worried in his heart, walked up to Ji Fengyu, and said loudly: "Mentor, it is up to you whether you can convince the emperor or not." Why don't we divide our troops into two routes, one part of us will go to find the army and tell the emperor and the military top brass about the information we have obtained, and the other part will pass through the dark flame blockade and enter the thunder, inform the dean and the city lord of what may happen, and prepare for the worst in advance. ”

"No! Returning to Canglei at this time, even if it is not a certain death, it is definitely a life of nine deaths, teacher, no, your grandfather definitely doesn't want you to be so reckless!" Ji Fengyu suddenly panicked, wanting to dispel Tang Lang's idea of adventure.

"Mentor, I don't want to die either!, but my grandfather, Dadi's father, are all in the city, if we can't even protect our own relatives, what's the use of practicing!" Tang Lang said indifferently.

The rest of the team members also all said that they wanted to return to Canglei with Tang Lang, although the situation was extremely unfavorable to Tianqing and Canglei at this time, and returning to Canglei was tantamount to being in danger, but everyone did not hesitate at all, they just wanted to return to their relatives as soon as possible and protect the things they cherished most.

Bei Siqi's eyes were a little ruddy, but his mouth was still stubborn: "Don't mess around, don't talk about you little guys, even Lao Ji and I don't have any resistance in front of the army, only if we survive can we have hope." ”

Tang Lang was even more fearless in his heart: "Teacher Bei, I also understand what you said." But the so-called hope also has a premise, and there is no meaning in the hope that is exchanged for stealing life!"

No matter how many teachers persuaded them, Tang Lang and the others insisted on returning to Canglei, and Ji Fengyu finally made a decision: "Okay, Lao Tzu will also accompany you little madmen to go crazy, let's go to the army led by the emperor to explain the situation clearly, and then let's return to Canglei together, so that the animals of Dark Flame can also taste Lao Tzu's power!"

After the discussion stopped, everyone didn't have the heart to continue hiding in the cave, made a simple stretcher to lift Wei Yuankui, and everyone retreated along the mountain road towards the border of Changping Prefecture, the army led by the emperor should have arrived at the border of Changping Prefecture and Luning Prefecture first under normal circumstances.

Tens of thousands of troops crossed the border with great momentum, and everyone didn't spend too much effort to find the Tianqing army, fortunately, Tang Lang had previously asked for a waist card with the identity of a "warrior" from the prince of Jiayun, and then he successfully entered the Tianqing camp.

But if he wanted to meet the emperor directly, the identity of the "warrior" could not play any role, Tang Lang had an idea, and remembered that the guard surnamed Li gave him a warrant for the prince of Jiayun at that time, and only then did he see a captain in the Praetorian Guard barracks through layers of communication.

Because of the prince's warrant, the captain of the Praetorian Guard was very polite: "Tang Gongzi, contemptible Qiu Boyi, dare to ask you where this warrant came from?"

Tang Lang recounted his acquaintance with Prince Jiayun and the guards surnamed Li, and only then did he dispel Qiu Boyi's vigilance and continue to ask: "Tang Gongzi, you haven't been attacked along the way! The army has been harassed by the Dark Flame Scouts several times along the way, but fortunately nothing has caused any major losses. ”

Tang Lang picked out the important content of his own and the others' experiences again, and finally said very solemnly: "Lord Qiu, these situations we have found are extremely important, even related to the life and death of the army, and we need to report to the emperor immediately!"

Qiu Boyi's face immediately became a little strange, and he politely refused: "Tang Gongzi, I understand your feelings. The emperor has been working hard all day after day, and his body is very tired, and he will still be resting, and I am afraid that he will not be able to arrange your report immediately. Why don't you give me all the maps and documents of the Dark Flame, and I will pass them on to the emperor. ”

Tang Lang thought that the other party wanted to be greedy for military merits, although he didn't mind the attribution of the credit, but this information was retrieved by himself and his brothers at great risk, and even Wei Yuankui lost a leg because of this, and his heart was very unhappy: "Lord Qiu, I think the emperor will definitely ask me about the details of the Dark Flame Camp in person, or let me tell me directly,

If there is any omission of intermediate information and delays the fighter, you and I cannot afford it. ”

Qiu Boyi reacted to Tang Lang's misunderstanding, waved his hand and explained: "Tang Gongzi, you misunderstood me......" But he didn't think about how to phrase it for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Tang Gongzi, for the sake of you being the confidant of Prince Jiayun, I will remind you a few words, whether you still want to meet the emperor, you can decide for yourself." ”

It turned out that Zhao Tianze had become more and more moody since he decided to send troops that day, and even the second prince Zhao Huahan and Dongfang Shun were reprimanded in various ways, and the rest of the officers were severely punished, and everyone in the army was already in danger, and no one wanted to take the initiative to approach the emperor.

Tang Lang didn't hesitate after hearing this, and said firmly: "Please ask Lord Qiu to help me arrange, I must report the situation to Emperor Ming, if you rashly enter the trap of the Dark Flame Empire, the sky will be in danger!"

Qiu Boyi sighed and said: "Okay, but I can't guarantee that the emperor will definitely summon you, and if you want to persuade him to change his mind, it is really difficult, and you may even be punished, you think clearly!"

Seeing Tang Lang's repeated insistence, Qiu Boyi smiled bitterly: "Okay, you wait here, I'll go and tell the emperor, whether you succeed or not, it's up to fate!"

After Qiu Boyi finished speaking, he left the tent, Tang Lang was worried that Ji Fengyu and the others would be in a hurry, so he also returned to the tent where everyone was resting to deliver the news. Ji Fengyu and Bei Siqi were worried that Tang Lang would not speak well when he met the emperor alone, and they also insisted on following him back to Qiu Boyi's place, and they didn't wait long before they saw him return in a hurry.

"These two are ......" Qiu Boyi couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he saw that there were two more people next to Tang Lang.

"Oh, Lord Qiu, these two are both teachers of our Canglei Academy, because this time it was the two teachers who led us to the Imperial City to participate in the academy competition, but I didn't expect such a big thing to happen in the middle of the game. Therefore, the two teachers took us to prepare to return to Canglei, and the two teachers also knew about the Dark Flame Camp that they had told you before, and they would help supplement it when they met the emperor. ”

"It's okay, with the help of two division commanders, Tang Gongzi will have a good care for a while. Don't be too angry with me, meet with the emperor in a while, you must be cautious when you speak, don't deliberately provoke the emperor, I can't guarantee what the consequences will be!"

Qiu Boyi led the three of them through the camp, and finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous medium-sized tent, if it wasn't for someone to lead, he wouldn't have guessed that it would be the Tianqing Emperor.

Qiu Boyi whispered a few words to several guards at the door of the tent, turned around and said to Tang Lang: "You wait at the door for a while, I'll go in and report!"

He stepped sideways into the tent, quickly withdrew again, and whispered, "Tang Lang, the emperor has announced your audience!"

Tang Lang followed behind the other party and stepped into the tent, from the outside, the tent of up to three zhang in size entered the interior, and the space suddenly expanded more than ten times, as if it was a small palace, and the inside was divided into more than ten rooms of different sizes.

Qiu Boyi led the three of them towards the largest room in the middle, and there were still more than ten steps away, when they were stopped by several guards dressed in armor: "Captain Qiu, who are these people?"

"These three are the teachers and students of Canglei Academy, and they have important military information that needs to meet the emperor, and with the emperor's permission, they are now here to return to their lives!" Qiu Boyi replied respectfully.
