Chapter Seventy-Two: There Is Still a Chance

"Remember the map?"

"What?"

Su Jue whispered: "The southwest side of this city wall is the Sifang Pool, and the water of this pool leads to the moat outside. β€œ

"Okay, let's jump down together. β€œ

"Hmm. β€œ

There was a snowfall the other day, and the lake froze this morning, and Koshichitaki wasn't sure if they would fall to their deaths or freeze to death if they jumped from here.

"General Hezhen, we surrender. β€œ

"Surrender? Are the people of Chenguo so spineless now?"

"Now that we are surrounded by many people, do we have a second choice but to surrender?"

The people in front of the tower walked towards them step by step, and Su Jue, Yue Qianlong and the others surrounded several circles of soldiers behind them, and they had no chance to jump down close to the battlements. In the firelight, they saw the man in armor clearly.

He is a little different from the portrait of He Zhen, if it weren't for this silver-white armor, he would be more like a civil servant, and his facial features are handsome and clear-eyed, as a commander who has been stationed on the frontier for many years, He Zhen obviously looks much younger than he actually is.

"Don't worry, I won't take your life, there are ways in the barracks to get you to speak. β€œ

Does he mean to be tortured?

"General He, aren't you curious why we came to the Northern Army camp?"

"Originally, I thought you were here to assassinate you, but it's strange that the man lying in my tent is still alive. β€œ

"We're here for your Blue Dragon Talisman. β€œ

Sure enough, He Zhen's expression darkened.

Su Jue smiled: "You are so confident that you actually put the bait and Marfa in the same place." β€œ

"You got it?"

"Legend has it that the Qingyan Jade in the Northern Regions is invaluable, and it is even more rare to see it without flaws like this, and it is even more appropriate to use it to make the Qinglong Talisman. β€œ

Qingyan jade, this piece of talisman is a piece of Puyang jade with good texture on the surface, only when it is placed in the sun or under the lamp, you can see the clear brilliance from the jade. Without careful observation, it is impossible to accurately tell the material of this talisman, and it seems that they did get the green dragon talisman in the dark grid.

"My life is gone, are you still planning to threaten me with the talisman?"

"I don't want my life, but you don't want to get the talisman either!" Su Jue pinched a piece of masonry behind him with his bare hands, and in an instant, a crack appeared in the masonry.

He Zhen's face showed some appreciation, his skills and internal strength were good, if he was in the army, he would definitely be a rare vanguard officer.

"That's just a rare stone, as long as the Northern Regions are still there, then this one will naturally be destroyed, and there will naturally be the next one, you are too naΓ―ve to threaten me with such a dead thing. β€œ

Yue Qianlong whispered: "Ah Jue, let's rush out together, there is no way." β€œ

"Surround them and keep them alive. β€œ

Ordered the surrounding soldiers to react quickly, and as soon as Yue Qianlong moved, he saw Su Jue jump up.

"Stop--" The arrow in Su Jue's hand was under He Zhen's neck, and he shouted loudly: "Your boss is in my hand!"

Sure enough, the soldiers around immediately stopped moving. Just now, it was just lightning, this person was able to jump over the encirclement and accurately control himself, which had to make He Zhen frightened, this time he underestimated the enemy.

"Tell them to open the gates, quick!"

"Even if I open the gates, you won't be able to get out, there are tens of thousands of garrisons outside. β€œ

"Then I'll take you out with me. β€œ

"You kill me, anyway, losing the talisman is a capital crime, and if you kill me now, I will be considered a martyr, at least it will not affect my family," He Zhen said disapprerovingly, but in fact, his palms were already full of sweat.

Su Jue was silent, but the arrow had already penetrated deep into He Zhen's neck.

"General!"

"Would you really like to watch your boss die in the moment?"

At this time, a person walked out of the crowd, judging from his attire, his military rank was not low, he knelt on the ground and bowed to He Zhen three times.

"He Yuan, what are you going to do?"

"General, offended, Qingzhou can't live without you," He Yuan, who was the deputy general, ordered as soon as he turned around: "Open the city gate, and all the blame will be borne by me He Yuan alone." β€œ

"He Yuan!"

Hearing the sound of the city gate opening, Su Jue escorted the people and slowly leaned towards Yue Qianlong.

"Slow," suddenly He Yuan stopped with a horizontal sword, "The two of you can only go one, otherwise I, Qingzhou, will not be able to explain to Your Majesty and the Taiwei, and more than 100,000 soldiers in Los Angeles will be convicted for this, and this is the only deal I can make with you, if you don't allow it, you will kill General He, but then it is impossible for the two of you to get out of Los Angeles alive." β€œ

Can only go one? Yue Qianlong glanced at Su Jue opposite and shouted, "Then I'll stay and let him go." β€œ

"Yue Chitaki, how long are you going to mess around, have you forgotten what I said?"

The woman subconsciously looked at her chest, the talisman was still on her, and judging from the current situation, it was impossible for her to swap places with Su Jue.

"Yue Qianlong, are you going or not leaving? Do you have to die here with me? This will not help at all!"

Yue Qianlong must be a god, yes, if she doesn't go out, how can she find someone to save him, maybe Lingxi is still nearby.

"Okay, I'll go. β€œ

"Also, the talisman must be left behind. β€œ

Su Jue tightened the strength of his subordinates, "General He, the talisman is in my hand." β€œ

"He Yuan, search your body first and then release you. β€œ

"She's a woman, how can she be treated like this by you?"

Hearing this, He Zhen also choked: "If you are willing to put down the arrow and let us search, we don't have to bother." β€œ

"It's okay," Yue Qianlong opened his arms and said calmly: "You guys search it, it's a waste of effort anyway." β€œ

As soon as He Yuan raised his hand, several soldiers surrounded him.

Yue Qianlong has been practicing martial arts all the year round and is at a good age, so he is naturally in good shape, and although these soldiers have strict military discipline, they are naturally a little unable to control the affairs sent to the door, and a few people went up and picked up Yue Qianlong's coat. Su Jue was slightly distracted, and as soon as the anger in his heart surged, he naturally increased the strength in his hand.

"No matter how hard you try, you won't even be able to save her life. β€œ

He Zhen's placket was already half red with blood, and if he went any deeper, he would have hurt his arteries. As soon as Su Jue came back to his senses, he was only surprised that he had lost his senses. He and Yue Qianlong came here only for the military talisman, and Gongsun Ling had ordered before leaving, He Zhen was the cornerstone of the frontier, and his safety involved Chenguo's actions, so even if they couldn't get the military talisman, they had to ensure He Zhen's safety, and he couldn't kill this person.

Seeing that one of them pulled on Yue Qianlong's middle clothes, Su Jue couldn't help it, "Are you really planning to strip a woman naked in front of everyone?"

He Zhen ignored this person and continued: "Don't stop, look carefully for every inch." β€œ

Yue Qianlong was calm, and suddenly changed her gestures after most of her middle clothes were removed, it turned out that she had hidden a knife in her hand, and after a turn, the three people around her also fell.

"Catch her!"

The guns and halberds of the surrounding soldiers also surrounded in an instant, and Yue Qianlong jumped upward, and when he fell, he stepped on the weapons that these people gathered at one point, and with the force of this rebound, the woman turned over and went down to the city wall.

After the 'poof' sound, Yue Qianlong was nowhere to be seen, and He Yuan fell on the city wall, only to see a flickering torch under the city.

"How's it going?

"Deputy General, there is an ice hole on the surface of the pool, it should have fallen into the square pool. β€œ

"Let's go down and find it!"

"Yes. β€œ

The Sifang Pond in winter is extremely cold, and even the elite of the Qingzhou Army can't stay in it for a few minutes. At this time, Su Jue didn't dare to relax for a moment, he carefully controlled his strength, and was waiting for news from the city with the people present. Finally, after a cup of tea, a soldier ran up to the city tower, and after he returned, he saw He Yuan's expression cold.

The man smiled dangerously and said, "You lost, your accomplice jumped off the square pool, and the body has been salvaged." β€œ

"What about the talisman, if you found the body, why didn't you find the talisman, did it fall into the pool?"

He Yuan's smile stiffened, and he didn't know how to answer.

"I'm sure a square pool can't bother her. β€œ

"If she didn't find it, it only means that she has sunk to the bottom of the pool, and jumping from here is tantamount to suicide. β€œ

It seems that they really didn't find anyone, the square pool is connected to the moat outside, they have practiced and groped in the water many times to avoid accidents, although the waterway is tortuous, but Yue Qianlong should be able to swim out.

"You've already won, are you really going to kill me?"

After this reminder, Su Jue also let go, looking like he was captured safely.

Looking at the chains that bound his hands, He Zhen praised: "You look like a good dead soldier, but it doesn't matter if the talisman is taken away, do you think I will really put such an important object in a secret compartment in the tent?"

"What did you say?"

"Although Puyang jade is extremely precious, as long as you put your mind to it, you can always find it. β€œ

Su Jue was shocked for a while, "The talisman is fake?"

"That's the lives of more than 200,000 soldiers, if I treat it so lightly, I don't deserve to be this Fuyuan general. β€œ

No way, why was he prepared? unless he knew he was going to steal the talisman.

"Don't you be so surprised, I've been preparing that fake for many years, and only you have the opportunity to let it come out and see the light. β€œ

Su Jue was relieved, He Zhen was indeed the general stationed on one side, and he and King Ning both underestimated this person.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Yue Qianlong, who climbed onto the shore, was exhausted, and Su Jue took her to swim many times in this waterway in the past few days, but only three of them succeeded, fortunately she was not mistaken tonight.

The place was not safe and she had to get out of it quickly. She took out a small whistle and put it in her mouth, which, strangely enough, made no sound at all. After a while, a silver light flashed in the darkness ahead, it was the tiger cockroach that Gongsun Ling gave her before. After getting along for a while, this big guy seems to have recognized Chitaki as the master. The tiger squatted down, and after up Yue Qianlong, it quickly disappeared into the darkness, and by the time the city guards walked nearby, Yue Qianlong had already walked away.

This big guy was born with a hot body, and the body temperature of Yue Qianlong on it also rose a lot, she didn't dare to make a fire, and after stopping, she only shrank in one place and shivered from the cold. The tiger cockroach beside her seemed to sense the master's difficulty, and immediately lay down beside her, and surrounded Yue Qianlong with a pair of soft big paws. She was confused at this time, and after feeling the warmth, she couldn't help herself and fell asleep, and when she woke up, the sky was already bright, and her clothes were also dried.

Yue Qianlong leaned against this guy's plush face and said, "Thank you, but can you do me another favor?"

The tiger cockroach let out a low roar.

"Help me bring this back to King Ning's Mansion, you know the way, right?"

It looked at the talisman in Yue Qianlong's hand, shook its head, and then stood up.

Yue Qianlong put it into the leather pocket of the tiger mantle, stroked the back of its neck, and whispered: "This is very important, please be sure to send it to King Ning, and send it over as quickly as you can." β€œ

The big guy roared again, glanced at Chitaki and ran north.
