On the third day, seeing that Qi Liang's face was better, Qi Xiyin went down the mountain to inquire about the news. Seeing him at noon, Qi Liang walked out of the cave and waited anxiously until dusk to see a few people coming from the mountain road, vigilantly hiding behind the tree, and when he got closer, he saw that it was Qi Xiyin's angry figure who was walking in the forefront, and Fang flashed out to greet him.

Qi Xiyin beckoned excitedly from afar, and when he got closer, he helped Qi Liang with disgusted eyes: "Why did the prince come out?" ”

Qi Liang didn't hide it at all: "I haven't seen Sister Qi come back all day, it's so worrying!" Looking at Qi Xiyin vigilantly, two men and a woman both had respectful smiles.

It can make the prince worry Qi Xiyin for a while, and he said with clear eyes: "Isn't the slave family back?" Seeing Qi Liang's vigilant expression, he knew what he meant, and said with a smile: "Shizi! Don't worry, they are all close guards of the slave family, and one of them helped us lead away the Qing army that day! After finishing speaking, he turned around gorgeously: "I haven't seen the son of the world yet!" ”

The three of them paused: "Knock to see the son!" ”

Qi Liang absolutely trusted Qi Xiyin, and stretched out his hand: "Hurry up, please get up!" Hurry up, please! He recognized the woman among the three as one of the maids waiting for Qi Xiyin, named Luo Shan. The other two vaguely remember seeing it, but they were not impressed, Qi Xiyin said that one of them worked with Liu Dexiang to help lead away the Qing army to track, he remembered that the person was called Luo Mensheng, but he didn't know who it was? That night it was dark and in the middle of the night, and he was panicked, and he was wounded by an arrow, and he had no time to shine on anything else.

Qi Xiyin stood aside and told about what happened to the mountain today: "The slave family went down to the cottage, the cottage has been burned to ashes, and I looked around and didn't find anything and wanted to leave, I didn't want to meet Luo Shan, Luo Mensheng, and Fang Yingjie, and the three of them also met after coming back after the fire that night!" ”

Qi Liang still had palpitations, and asked with a sense of anger: "What happened that night?" ”

He replied, "Son! That night, the cottage was attacked by the Qing army! ”

Do you need to talk about this? Qi Liang asked with a calm face: "Then how did the Qing army come from?" "What he's really angry about is that there are a lot of bandits who turn against the water.

Qi Xiyin heard the string song and knew the elegant rhyme, and said guiltily: "Shizi! The slave family is sorry for you, the Qing army was attracted by the traitors of Dasana, and those who participated in the rebellion were also his loyal subordinates. ”

Although Qi Xiyin is named the owner of the village, he has not been able to effectively control the cottage, there are two forces in the cottage, one is dominated by Qi Xiyin, and the other is dominated by Dasang, Qi Liang thought that it should be like this.

"What was it like that night?" Qi Xiyin and others are also victims, Qi Liang is not good at seizures, not to mention that people saved his life.

Luo Mensheng said: "The situation was very chaotic that night, it was impossible to distinguish between friend and foe, many people died in vain, fortunately it was dark night, and many people escaped into the mountains and forests to survive!" ”

Qi Liang asked, "How many Qing troops have sneak attacked?" ”

He replied, "About three thousand!" ”

Qi Liang was taken aback: "So many? No wonder the army was defeated, and Xuan asked, "How do you know so clearly?" ”

Luo Mensheng replied: "After evading the pursuit of the Qing army that night, the slave went down the mountain, hid in a Miao people's house for a day, and went out to inquire about the news the next day, and learned that the Qing army was intercepted and killed by the Wu army, and the number was as many as 3,000 people!" ”

Qi Liang was surprised: "That Qing army was wiped out by our army?" After thinking about it for a while, I understood that it was the army of Wu Yinglin in the rear army.

How could this Qing army sneak attack the cottage and be wiped out by Wu Yinglin in less than a day? Qi Liang's army and Wu Yinglin's rear army are three days apart, Qi Liang stayed by the Yuan River for a day, and wasted more than a day in Huanghu Village, the two armies are only less than a day away, although this Qing army has Dasang to lead the way, but it will not be touched under the nose without a trace of notice, right? There's a lot going on here! Qi Liang walked to the edge of the cliff, looking at the mountains with layers of obstacles, as if the overlapping hearts were pressing, he frowned, he was so worried that he frowned, he was not interested in staying in the army now, there was no army of his own, there were no trustworthy people, all kinds of emergencies emerged in endlessly, life was not guaranteed, he had to find a way to leave the army, and suddenly felt that it was a good thing to be injured by an arrow this time, and it was a good thing to leave the army on this ground.

Qi Xiyin said in a delicate voice: "That is, Wu Jun, the prince, let's go down the mountain to find them quickly!" "Since returning from the mountain, I have been very excited to see her, and it should be for this.

Although it was Wu Jun, he didn't see them go up the mountain to find him, Qi conscience was bitter but couldn't say it to Qi Xiyinming, just shook his head: "Don't worry!" We'll go down tomorrow! He asked Luo Mensheng: "What about Liu Dexiang's guards who led the enemy separately with you that day?" ”

Luo Mensheng shook his head and said, "We didn't see each other again after we ran apart." ”

Another life and death unknown, Qi Hao was depressed for a while!

On the second day, the four of them packed up and went down the mountain, and when they passed some Miao villages on the way, they heard some news, a Wu army of nearly 10,000 people had passed for two days, and the direction was Qianzhou, Qi Liang guessed that it was Wu Yinglin's army, but the number was not so exaggerated, it should be only 5,000 people.

Qi Xiyin urged Qi Liang to speed up his pace to catch up, but Qi Liang walked slower and slower on the grounds of severe pain in his wounds, and he did not walk thirty miles all day. Three days later, when I arrived at a small town called Banlin, I heard that the people who went north said that Qianzhou had been taken by the Wu army, Qi Xiyin was happy and urged Qi Liang to speed up the north, Qi Liang was at a loss, looked at the north for a while, hesitated, and resolutely said: "No! Let's go south! "Banlin is the only place for the Phoenix Department to go north to the Qianzhou Department, and going south means that Qi Liang gave up his headquarters and chose to join Hu Guozhu.

Qi Xiyin was puzzled, and asked with a slight frown: "The prince is not joining your army?" ”

Qi Liang said: "Going south is also to join my army, General Hu Guozhu is leading the army to attack the Phoenix Hall!" ”

Qi Xiyin was suddenly, Qi Liang suddenly turned sideways and asked, "Brother Luo!" Can you make me a stretcher and hire four more people? ”

Qi Xiyin's face was covered with a layer of melancholy, and he asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" Is Shizi feeling unwell? ”

Qi Liang nodded: "I was stuffy for a while, my whole body was weak, and my limbs were weak!" ”

"Brother Luo, let's go!" Qi Xiyin commanded, helping Qi Liang and said, "The prince is tired, let's sit down and rest for a while!" ”

Qi Liang and his entourage walked south for two days, and on the way they met a fast horse that transmitted military information from south to north, and learned that Hu Guozhu had captured the Phoenix Hall.

This time there is no need for Qi Xiyin to urge Qi Liang to automatically order to speed up the pace, when he arrived at the Phoenix Pole Camp in the afternoon, Luo Mensheng took Qi Liang's jade pendant to the military camp to report first, Hu Guozhu received the report and led the generals out to greet him, and saw Qi Liang lying on the stretcher with a sick look, and was shocked: "Shizi!" What's wrong with you? ”

Qi Liang panted: "I was attacked by the Qing army in Huanghu Village and was wounded by an arrow, but fortunately, these brothers and sisters saved their lives!" ”

Hu Guozhu bowed his hand to Qi Xiyin and the others: "Thank you for saving the world, you will have a heavy reward after entering the camp!" Then he commanded: "Call the military doctor quickly!" ”

Qi Liang was undoubtedly wounded by an arrow, and after the military doctor examined Qi Liang, he re-medicated Qi Liang, and Hu Guozhu asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

The military doctor humbly said: "The wound has been closed, it should be fine!" ”

Hu Guozhu came to Qi Liang's side and said sadly: "The prince has always been cautious, why was he attacked by thieves? Then blamed himself: "It's all bad slaves, and they shouldn't leave the world!" ”

"It's none of the general's business!" Qi Liang shook his head, briefly recounted the incident of the attack that day, and then ordered: "General Hu! Please write a letter to my father and report my condition. In addition, I will resign as the commander of the Pioneer Battalion and recommend you to take over! ”

Suddenly, Hu Guozhu thought carefully and said: "The pioneer camp has completed nearly half of the passage to Xiangxi, and the prince does not need to resign, but don't care about anything while recuperating and marching into the army, I will open the way in front!" ”

Qi Liang was embarrassed: "Xiao Wang's body pain is unbearable, it is no longer suitable to march and fight, Xiao Wang wants to go back to Yunnan to recuperate after his resignation, please be considerate of Xiao Wang, don't shirk again!" ”

Hu Guozhu had no choice but to say: "It's okay for the prince to resign, but he should be recommended to ask General Shuo to be the commander!" ”

Qi Liang knew that Hu Guozhu was worried about Wu Yinglin, but Qi Liang just didn't want Wu Yinglin to be the handsome, weighed the gains and losses, thought twice, and felt that it was more important for him to leave and concentrate on developing his own forces, so he agreed: "Okay! Then he cautiously reminded: "General Hu! After you completely open the passage to Xiangxi, you should send an army to continue to occupy Sangzhi, Cili and other places to connect with General Wu Guogui on the Changde side to form a line, but remember not to go north to attack Hubei again, the main force of the army should go west with all its might, and take the whole of Sichuan as the first priority! ”

Hu Guozhu nodded solemnly: "I understand my humble position!" ”
