Time passed minute by minute, but there was still no movement in the valley, and Meng Xiao, who was still as steady as Mount Tai before, also began to worry: "A stick of incense time, if there is no news, the whole army will attack!" ”

At this moment, a horse flew over the hill: "General, Wang Jian is back!" Hearing this, Meng Fu raised his hand and looked up, only to see a chaotic sound of horses' hooves faintly heard from the dark canyon, and then there seemed to be a shaking of men and horses in the faint moonlight.

"Quick! The army responds! The anxious Meng Fu didn't say a word at the moment, and galloped out as soon as he urged the horse......

"Mengzi banner! The Qin army has arrived! The exhausted Wang Jian saw the fire dragons scattered from far and near at a glance, and he couldn't help but shout excitedly, and the originally lifeless horse team suddenly resounded with earth-shattering cheers.

Looking at the cheering Qin soldiers around him, Zhao Kuo had a different feeling in his heart. For his own plan to rebellious Qin, the Zhao army paid the price of more than 20,000 warriors tonight, but what made him even more heartbroken was that the most elite flying cavalry guards in his hands were also wiped out in this fratricidal battle.

Originally, Zhao Kuo took this flying cavalry iron guard to have an army in Qin that could directly obey his orders, but he didn't want to end up ruining these young lives in vain. And all this is because of himself, if he hadn't had the impulse to chase Ji Xue at the beginning, maybe everything that followed would not have happened.

Thinking of this, two lines of tears slowly flowed from Zhao Kuo's haggard face, his throat was slightly hot, and a mouthful of blood gushed out in an instant. With a burst of dizziness, Zhao Kuo hurriedly grabbed the reins with his hands, and his whole body swayed from side to side on the horse's back twice, but finally he couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground alive.

By the time Zhao Kuo woke up, it was already early the next morning, and there was silence in the military tent. Zhao Kuo struggled to sit up, but his whole body seemed to be a little weak.

"Where am I?" Zhao Kuo touched his heavy head and muttered to himself, everything that happened last night gradually resurfaced in his mind. Zhao Kuo only felt a sharp pain in his chest, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and cry, "Le Yi......"

Hearing a sound in the tent, Lü Buwei and Meng Wei, who had been waiting outside the tent, hurriedly walked in.

Zhao Kuo stumbled off the military couch, but he couldn't take a step out, so he could only recline on the edge of the couch, staring straight out of the tent with his eyes: "Brothers...... Zhao Kuo...... Zhao Kuo: I'm sorry everyone! ”

Meng Wei hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhao Kuo: "The brothers died as they deserved, and the old man should truthfully start the King of Qin, and reward him according to the laws of Qin." ”

Zhao Kuo ignored Meng Fu, and just sat silently for a long time: "Take me to see them." ”

"Ma Fujun is overtired, let's rest for a while." Lu Buwei whispered comfortingly.

Zhao Kuo shook his head resolutely, then stood up and walked out hobbly.

"Quick! Hold him up! Meng Fu was afraid of an accident, so he hurriedly waved his hand, and the left and right guards stepped forward to support Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo shook off the guard's support with one arm, and scolded: "Zhao Kuo is not old! You can walk on your own! ”

The guards immediately looked at each other and didn't know what to do, Meng Fu waved his hand helplessly to signal them to retreat, and then walked quickly to Zhao Kuo, stretched out his hand and opened the tent door: "Old man, lead the way for Ma Fujun!" ”

The camp of the Qin army was set up on the beach of the Zhangshui River, not far from the pass of the valley. A stone's throw through the army camp, you came to the rolling Zhangshui River. There were a hundred corpses with angry eyes neatly lined up at the waterfront, thousands of Qin soldiers were standing silently around, and there was no sound in the river valley, only the hunting military flags and the roar of the river flowing.

"If you can't achieve the great plan of chaos in this life, Zhao Kuo will have no shame to face you after his death!" Zhao Kuo silently made a promise to himself in his heart with tears, then gritted his teeth, and knelt down tremblingly in front of the cold corpse in front of him: "Everyone, go all the way!" ”

"Go all the way! Go all the way! "The Qin people have always respected heroes, not to mention that in their eyes, these people died to protect the future prince of the Qin State, and suddenly the earth-shaking shouts of the Qin soldiers sounded in the valleys and mountains.

When the shouting stopped, Meng Fu stepped forward and leaned over to Zhao Kuo and said, "Ma Fujun, the army is about to start." ”

Zhao Kuo nodded slightly, then got up with difficulty, reached out to take the torch handed by the Qin soldiers, closed his eyes and lit the hay spread under the corpse, and a raging fire suddenly ignited on the riverbank. With the thick smoke in the sky, tens of thousands of Qin troops crossed the Zhangshui and headed straight for the stone fortress. After the Battle of Changping, although the Qin army gave up a large area of land outside the Hangu Pass, the Shandong states were unable to send troops to station, so the road was all vacuum, and the Qin army did not encounter any soldiers and horses to stop it.

After walking for two days in a row, a stone pavilion loomed in front of the army.

"Childe, after the long pavilion, it is the Qin State." Meng Fu raised his whip and pointed forward, and said loudly to Ying Yiren.

Zhao Kuo, who was silent all the way, trembled suddenly, and suddenly raised his head, and there was only a ruined stone pavilion in the distance. After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Kuo urged the horse to come to Meng Fu's side in a few steps, and said, "The general and take the son first, and Kuo will come later." ”

The surrounding air fell silent in an instant, and the generals of the Qin army, who had been talking and laughing, also stopped speaking in an instant. Zhao Kuo turned his head and looked at everyone's faces, and immediately understood everything, Qin Ren still didn't trust himself in his heart: "Why do you need to worry? Where else does Zhao Kuo have to live in addition to Qin today? ”

Hearing Zhao Kuo say this, Meng Wei also felt that such an atmosphere was indeed inappropriate, after all, without Zhao Kuo's help, Ying Yiren would not be able to return to Qin State no matter what. Meng Fu smiled awkwardly, stroked his gray beard and started a round: "Why did Ma Fujun say this, how about I wait for the first step and wash the dust for the general in Lishi Fortress?" ”

Zhao Kuo smiled bitterly and buried his head, led the horse out of the marching phalanx slowly, and stopped in front of the long pavilion......

As the Qin army moved away, the surroundings of the long pavilion gradually quieted down. Zhao Kuo dismounted and walked into the pavilion, looking at the vast mountains in the east, and couldn't help but sigh: "Zhao Guo, my motherland!" Say goodbye today, and there will be no time in the future! ”

Just when Zhao Kuo lost his mind, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him: "Childe." ”

"Ji Xue?" Zhao Kuo turned his head uncertainly, and stood outside the pavilion in white clothes, "It's really you." ”

"Childe, where is Gao'er?" Ji Xue saw that Zhao Kuo was empty-handed, and suddenly remembered Xiao Zhao Gao who had entrusted Zhao Kuo before.

As soon as Zhao Gao was mentioned, Zhao Kuo's eyes resurfaced the scene of the tragic death of the hundred horsemen yesterday, and the strong love that originally surged in his heart turned into infinite melancholy. Zhao Kuo turned his head, turned his back to Ji Xue and said lightly: "There is a lot of danger in going to Qin, so I asked the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion to send it back to Handan and entrust it to Zhao Ji." ”

"You ......" Ji Xue was speechless for a while, but after thinking about it again, if Zhao Gaoruo became the playmate of the future prince of Qin, it might not be a good thing in the future.

"Ji Xue, do you know how many soldiers have been sacrificed because of you today?" Zhao Kuo stared indifferently ahead, pretending to be calm and asked.

"Isn't Childe half at fault?" Ji Xue sighed faintly, "The prince is determined to use bitter meat into Qin, so he should know that there is such a result." ”

"You...... How do you know? Zhao Kuo couldn't help but be taken aback, turned around and grabbed Ji Xue's body tightly, "Say!" Who says anything to you? ”

"Childe's temperament, why doesn't Ji Xue know?" Ji Xue broke away from Zhao Kuo's hands and said expressionlessly.

"Yes." Zhao Kuo took a long breath, let go of Ji Xue, and said with a dejected smile: "Come with me to the Qin Kingdom." ”

Ji Xue almost wanted to agree, but she still tried to suppress the throbbing in her heart, lowered her head and opened her mouth slightly like a mosquito: "Unless you agree to Ji Xue." ”

"What?" Zhao Kuo took a step forward, although his face was silent, but he was overjoyed in his heart, it seemed that Ji Xue had changed her mind after all.

"Kill the Alien?" Ji Xue said coldly without hesitation.

"This ......" Zhao Kuo suddenly stopped squeaking, he could promise Ji Xue anything, except for Ying Yiren. For the sake of Zhao's plan, he couldn't agree at all. Intrins? Right! On that day, Ji Xue disappeared after the Inhuman Wedding Banquet! Zhao Kuo's eyes suddenly stared at Ji Xue, he seemed to have caught something in those thousands of threads, "What does it have to do with Ying Yiren?" ”

"Childe is worried, it's Ji Xue who wants to leave, and it has nothing to do with others." Ji Xue had already expected Zhao Kuo to answer like this, and hurriedly turned around and walked out of the long pavilion.

"You...... Where to? Zhao Kuo followed unconsciously.

"Ji Xue is no longer the Ji Xue of the past, Childe forgot about me." Ji Xue didn't look up, just turned her back to Zhao Kuo, trembled, and shook her head fiercely, "Let's go, go to the Qin State and complete your great cause!" ”

"Ji Xue......" Zhao Kuo looked at the strange woman named Ji Xue in front of him blankly, then stomped his foot fiercely, grabbed the reins and jumped on the horse, and galloped away without looking back.

It wasn't until Zhao Kuo walked away that Ji Xue turned her face slightly. At that moment, she burst into tears.
