The uncle who supported the boat glanced back, rubbed his eyes fiercely, made sure that he was not mistaken, and was stunned for a long time before swallowing his saliva and saying, "Are the two guest officers on the boat?" ”

Sikong Mubai threw out a piece of silver from his sleeve and landed directly on the bow of the boat, and when the boatman saw such a large piece of silver, he immediately closed his mouth obediently and held the boat steadily.

Looking at Sikong Mubai's movements, Su Zhiyuan was amused, she didn't expect this man who often had a cold face to have such a naïve side, so she smiled politely at all: "You are very confident in your light skills!" ”

Of course, Sikong Mubai heard Su Zhiyuan's ridicule, but he wouldn't be angry at what Su Zhiyuan said now, and he asked even more proudly: "I can treat you as a compliment!" ”

"Tsk!" Su Zhiyuan was speechless, and decided to look at the scenery on both sides of the strait with peace of mind, and no longer bother with this naïve man.

Sikong Mubai was very aggrieved when he was left out in the cold, he hugged Su Zhiyuan, made her look into his eyes strongly, and said: "Iris, you can feel my feelings for you, and you don't dislike me, right?" ”

Su Zhiyuan was stunned, what is this for?

Seeing that Su Zhiyuan didn't speak, Sikong Mubai continued: "Kite, do you want to be my princess, as long as you nod, I will find my father to marry when I return to Beijing, and I will definitely give you the grandest wedding." ”

"No way!"

Su Zhiyuan didn't think about it, and directly pushed Sikong Mubai away, shook his head and said, "I refuse!" ”

"Why!?" Sikong Mubai was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that even if he came to this point, Su Zhiyuan would still refuse him without hesitation.

Su Zhiyuan didn't know how to explain, but said: "I don't want to get married, I will never marry in my life!" ”

"This is not a reason, Iris, do you still have that Ningyuan Hou Shizi in your heart? I'll kill him when I go back to Beijing! ”

Sikong Mubai's eyes were red, he didn't expect that after working hard for so long, he still couldn't resist that gentleman?

"Then you can go, it just so happens that I also hope that he will die soon."

Su Zhiyuan's expressionless appearance looked extremely cold.

Sikong Mubai was discouraged, if Su Zhiyuan didn't still have that gentleman in his heart, then why didn't he look down on himself?

He thought a lot in an instant, and the shadow had also given him all the information about Su Zhiyuan before, but now it seemed that it had nothing to do with that at all.

"Iris, you don't care about Xia Shurui, so do you like the fourth child, or the prince?"

Sikong Mubai thought, then the most likely thing is that Su Zhiyuan's heart is in Sikong Qianche, who is a childhood sweetheart with her, if it is Sikong Qianche, then he wishes her happiness!

But Su Zhiyuan still shook his head: "Don't force me, it's not the Fourth Highness, it's not the crown prince, I don't like anyone, I just don't want to get married, I don't want to marry, do you understand?" ”

Sikong Mubai didn't understand why he didn't like others, but he didn't want to accept himself, he watched her various performances before, and he wasn't completely indifferent to herself.

When Su Zhiyuan looked at him, he knew that he wouldn't understand, so he directly said loudly to the boatman: "Come to the shore!" ”

The old boatman took a cautious look at Sikong Mubai, and saw that he looked stunned, and did not seem to object, so he dared to pull the boat to the shore.

Su Zhiyuan glanced at Sikong Mubai silently, and walked ashore by himself, and Sikong Mubai could only follow ashore together.

Su Zhiyuan looked at the expression on his hand, and felt slightly distressed in his heart, but he didn't know how to explain it, so he could only keep his mouth shut.

Sikong Mubai was thinking about another thing, what did he have to do to open Su Zhiyuan's heart, she always gave people a feeling of being within reach, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, she immediately looked like a cloud on the horizon, looking thousands of miles away.

The two could only look at each other without saying a word, and walked back silently all the way, without saying a word.

Back on the mountain, Su Zhiyuan silently returned to his room, Sikong Mubai also looked depressed, Su Linghao and Ye Qing glanced at each other, is there a situation?

Su Linghao relied on the fact that he was the future brother-in-law, and hurried up: "Your Highness, how is it?" What's going on with both of you? ”

"What the hell has happened to this sister of yours?"

Sikong Mubai has been thinking about this issue all the time, and the information he can't find, maybe Su Linghao will know.

Su Linghao was a little embarrassed, looked at Sikong Mubai, and spread his hands: "I haven't been in Beijing all these years, I don't know what she has experienced, I thought you had been in the capital, and you could know more than me!" ”

Sikong Mubai was helpless, he really couldn't find out.

"Your father has not paid attention to her all these years, and after your mother is gone, your eldest sister and her are dependent on each other, but you know the situation of your eldest sister, and the time to protect her is limited, so although none of us can know what she has experienced, we can guess it, can't we?"

Every time Sikong Mubai thought of what she might experience, she couldn't help but be shocked.

A girl who was so ignored by others finally achieved her current skills and mind, I think she suffered a lot.

Su Linghao has always felt that he was guarding the border and used his strength to tell his father that if he could protect his two younger sisters, he should be able to let them live well, but he didn't expect that it was the current situation, he regretted it now, maybe staying in the capital back then could better protect them?

Originally, the relationship between the two was very good, but now because of Su Zhiyuan, they can appreciate each other's state of mind even more, and suddenly their relationship has become better.

In fact, Su Zhiyuan was not unmoved, she also saw everything that Sikong Mubai did for herself, but when she thought of the emotional things between men and women, she could always feel a cold chill in her heart.

She vaguely remembers the touch of the bullet passing through her heart at that time, a little pain, a little sourness, and a chill to the bone, so that she can't help but hug herself every midnight dream, and keep shivering.

After resting for another two days, Su Zhiyuan had already dealt with the affairs of the Wulin League, so he borrowed someone from Sikong Mubai and guarded it here, so that he could report what happened to the Wulin League to him in time, and the others had to go back to where they should go.

Su Zhiyuan understood that Su Linghao was in good health, so he said, "Brother, you don't want to ride a horse, let's hire a carriage and send you back, right?" ”

Su Linghao and Sikong Mubai were both stunned: "You don't go back to the capital?" ”

Su Zhiyuan shook his head: "The eldest brother's body has just recovered, and there are only two people along the way, he and Zhen Zhen, I still don't feel at ease, so I'll send them back to the frontier." ”

Sikong Mubai originally thought that Su Zhiyuan was going back to the capital with him, but he didn't expect that this would be the result now, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

But he was soon relieved, nodded and said: "What Kite said makes sense, I am also in a hurry to return to Beijing, my father knows that I left Beijing without authorization, and I am already furious, I have to rush back to the capital as soon as possible, otherwise I am also ready to send you back to the frontier, here I will leave two people, together with Kite Er, to send you back." ”

"Won't this be too troublesome, Your Highness, you can take Kite back to the capital, I can go back myself." Su Linghao felt very embarrassed.

Su Zhiyuan was reluctant to return to Beijing with Sikong Mubai because of what happened before, plus Su Linghao's current physical condition she was not at ease, and He Zhenzhen was a weak woman who couldn't do martial arts, so she must send Su Linghao back.

"Ling Hao, you don't have to be polite to me, what is our relationship." Sikong Mubai smiled meaningfully.

Su Linghao saw that Sikong Mubai would laugh like this, and he was very moved to do it for his sister for a while, so he didn't shirk anymore.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Su Linghao also smiled.

Su Zhiyuan escorted Su Linghao all the way to the border city.

The journey was quite smooth, but the closer you got to the border city, the more desolate it became, and there were basically no houses in sight, and even the houses were ten rooms and nine empty.

At that time, it was almost evening, and Su Zhiyuan faintly saw a group of wild wolves, haunting the woods, and some white bones were exposed.

She suddenly thought of a poem, and sighed secretly in her heart.

"It's good to be like this now, Xuanyue has been trying to annex our Heavenly Domain for so many years, so he often comes to harass us, and this time he used extreme means, if it weren't for His Royal Highness King Qi's strategy to bring back more cities they occupy, it would only be worse than here." Su Linghao had already seen her grief and comforted her.

"When I saw two lines of poetry before, I always thought it was so exaggerated, but now it seems to be realistic."

"What?"

"The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles."

After Su Zhiyuan finished speaking, Su Linghao and He Zhenzhen were silent for a while.

At this moment, Sikong Mubai's guard suddenly shouted: "There seems to be a war ahead!" ”

"What's going on?" Su Linghao sat up straight in an instant.

"Go down and explore the way." A light dismount and quietly slipped to the front, and Su Zhiyuan asked the groom to drive the carriage and horses into the woods and hide them for the time being.

If there is a large-scale war ahead, I guess I don't have enough people to stuff my teeth, but if it's just a small-scale war, maybe I can still support it.

The man soon returned, and reported: "It is true that our men and the enemy are fighting in front, and the enemy is about 300 people, and all of our men are surrounded, and it is estimated that they will not last long." ”

Three hundred?!

Su Zhiyuan and Su Linghao glanced at each other, in such a situation, how can we rescue our people? You can't see death without help.

To save people, there are only six people plus the coachman, which is really not enough for the other party to see.

Su Linghao was a little worried.

Less is more?

Su Zhiyuan quickly went through all the war cases that he could remember, and suddenly thought of an idea.

"Go down and cut down the tree!"

Su Zhiyuan's eyes lit up and asked everyone to go down.

"Do you have a solution?"

Su Linghao looked at her and estimated that she already had a good idea.

"I have read a war book before, there is an example of winning more with less, the enemy's army of 100,000 is already at the bridgehead, but he only has eighteen personal guards, in order to confuse the other party, he used horses to drag branches to splash dust behind the woods, pretending to be a large army stationed in the forest, so frightened that the other party did not know the truth and did not attack, so he cut the bridge and drove away."

"So you want to scare each other?"

Su Linghao's eyes are also bright, maybe he can do it.

So a group of people also cut down the branches of nearby trees and tied them to the back of the horses' buttocks, Su Zhiyuan felt a little unsafe, so he said to one of Sikong Mubai's guards: "You are now pretending to be a pathfinder by a person, you must let them discover you, and then you come back, so that they don't know our truth." ”

The man took the command and departed.

The groom and another guard drove the horses around, and Su Zhiyuan and Su Linghao found a relatively hidden place to observe each other's reactions.

Sure enough, after they found the scouts, the enemy's leading general looked over here for a while, and after a short time, he was unwilling to withdraw his troops.

After they left, Su Zhiyuan and Su Linghao dared to come out, and a group of people walked to the people who had just been besieged.

It was a squad of about fifty people, and the leader was actually a female general, and she was very excited when she saw Su Linghao: "General Su is back!" ”

"Captain Shangguan!" Su Linghao also knew each other, and looked her up and down: "Are you okay with your injuries?" ”

Just fifty people against three hundred, she can still hold out for so long, and there are not many personnel losses, she is indeed a talent.

The man glanced at his bleeding thighs and arms, and smiled heartily: "Minor injury, it'll be fine after a few days!" ”

But seeing such a blood-stained person and such a confident and wanton person, Su Zhiyuan also felt very admired.

Su Linghao introduced Su Zhiyuan to her: "This is my sister, Su Zhiyuan. ”

"Hello, I'm Shangguan Yan, a lieutenant under General Su."
