Dafei River.

After the first battle, the military camps of Datang and Tubo were unusually quiet. For ten consecutive days, apart from daily drills and inspections, the two sides did not engage in a single battle, even a small battle. There seems to be some kind of mysterious tacit understanding between the two armies, and they are secretly plotting without moving.

At night, Qin Mu was in the white room.

Li Xueyan, who was changing Qin Mubai's dressing, trembled all over, her hands trembled, and the medicine bottles fell to the ground and shattered.

"Mu Bai, you! …… You're so bold! Li Xueyan looked at Qin Mubai with her eyes that were close to 'horror' and said, "Do you know the consequences of your doing this? ”

"Of course." Qin Mubai smiled indifferently, his fingers gently tapped the armrest of the general's chair rhythmically, and said leisurely, "Isn't it the Ten Evil Sins and the Zhu Clan?" …… I'm used to it! ”

"You! …… Are you used to it?! Li Xueyan was dumbfounded, speechless, and said hurriedly, "You are collaborating with the enemy and treason!" - No, you're not that kind of person! You're definitely kidding, you're kidding me! ”

"It's over, even you don't believe it, how can I deceive Hou Junji, Xue Wanjun, as well as Garqinling and Abandoned Sect to praise these treacherous guys?" Qin Mubai shook his head with a sigh, "No, I have to think of another idea!" ”

"Mu Bai, what do you want to do?" Li Xueyan sighed with relief, and asked cautiously while cleaning up the broken medicine bottle on the ground.

"It's nothing more than wanting to keep you by your side and not marry to Tubo, by the way...... Kill the Garqin Mausoleum and pacify the plateau. Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"It's not serious!" Li Xueyan blushed and bowed her head and scolded.

"I'm really serious." Qin Mubai said, "A few days ago, I caught a fine work, and it was actually sent by Tubo Zanpu to abandon the sect and make praise. Guess what he said? ”

Li Xueyan paused in her hand, raised her head and asked, "What did you say?" ”

"He told me that it was just that the Garqin Mausoleum wanted to fight, but in fact, the Zampu of Tibet did not want to fight and wanted to make peace with my Tang Dynasty. Then, people are still willing to accept the marriage. Qin Mubai pursed his lips and said, "Are you very happy to hear this news?" ”

"Not really!" Li Xueyan bit her lip and lowered her head, slowly cleaned up the debris on the ground, and said, "I was a ghost before, but now that I have woken up, how can I make the same mistake again?" - Besides, no matter how humble and humble I am, I am not something that he will come and go as soon as he Tubo Zanpu recruits, and if he says to marry, he will marry and say that he will not want it? Bah! ”

"If you have a personality, this is what you look like a princess!" Qin Mubai laughed and said, "If your father hears this, he will definitely laugh happily!" ”

Li Xueyan ignored Qin Mubai's jokes, suddenly woke up, and said, "Mubai, this is a major military incident, how can you tell me?" ”

"You're smart and alert." Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, "The reason why I told you is because ...... I want you to do me a big favor. Of course, it is a prerequisite to keep this important secret and not to say anything about it. ”

"Well, you say! If I can do it, I will never give up! Li Xueyan said.

"It's not so serious, what I want you to do is ......" Qin Mubai smiled mysteriously, and stopped talking.

"What, you say?" Li Xueyan said confusedly, "Deliberately selling Guanzi, could it be that you are teasing me again?" ”

Qin Mubai took out three small bags from his arms, which were red, white and black, handed them to Li Xueyan, and said to her: "There are three bags here, you must not open them in advance." You remember - if one day, Hou Junji, Xue Wanjun and others come to break into the handsome tent and have to meet me, you will tear down this red one. ”

"What does this mean?" Li Xueyan asked confusedly, "Why don't you pay attention to them personally?" ”

"Don't ask, you remember every word I say." Qin Mubai's expression suddenly became serious, and he said, "On the thirteenth day of September in a few days, you will open this white bag again." ”

"What about this black one, when will it be dismantled?" Li Xueyan asked nervously and curiously.

Qin Mubai was silent for a moment and said, "The most critical time. ”

"How do I know...... What is the most critical time? ”

"That is, when even your father was caught off guard and at a loss."

"My father? ……”

"Don't ask that. If it's all clear, it's not a trick. Qin Mubai smiled, smiling mysteriously.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, and I won't ask any more questions." Li Xueyan gritted her teeth and nodded seriously, "I believe in you, that's enough." ”

"Nothing I say to you today is to be said to anyone, not even your father." Qin Mubai said, "Can you do it?" ”

"Yes!"

"Okay, that's it." Qin Mubai smiled, stretched out his hands to hold Li Xueyan's shoulders, and said, "Xueyan, there are nearly 100,000 people in Dafeichuan now, but the one I trust the most is you......"

"I know what to do!" Li Xueyan stared at Qin Mubai, her eyes flashed with a strange light, and she nodded solemnly.

"Thank you." Qin Mubai nodded seriously and said with a smile, "It's getting late, go back and rest!" ”

"Well, your injuries are not healed, please rest early."

After that, Li Xueyan cleaned up a little and left. Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked out of Qin Mubai's room to cover the door, she heard a scream inside, followed by a loud sound of tables and chairs toppling over and dishes breaking.

"Ahh Li Xueyan was startled, hurriedly turned around and pushed open the door and ran into the house, and when she saw it, she was dumbfounded!

Qin Mubai, who was wearing pajamas, was falling to the ground and convulsing violently, spitting out dirty blood in his mouth!

"Mu Bai, what's wrong with you!!" Li Xueyan was so frightened that the three souls flew seven spirits, and ran to him in a hurry.

Qin Mubai was already covered with blood, and his mouth was stench, he struggled to grab Li Xueyan's hand, and squeezed a sentence in his throat with difficulty, "Block the news and stabilize the army's heart!" ”

Immediately, his whole body was weak, and his arms were released, and his neck was crooked, and he didn't move!

Li Xueyan felt like five thunderbolts, the whole person was like she was scared and forgot to cry, and looked at Qin Mubai who collapsed to the ground blankly, her eyes were straight.

At this time, Tantai Dandan, who lived in the same courtyard, jumped into the room and exclaimed in fright on the spot, "Young marshal, what's wrong with you!" - Come on, the young marshal has an accident! ”

"Don't scream!" Li Xueyan, who was like a puppet, suddenly woke up and remembered the words that Qin Mubai desperately squeezed out just now, and suddenly became extremely calm, she said, "Don't mess with yourself, otherwise the army's heart will definitely be shaken." First of all, I will invite General Zhang Tong, the captain of the young marshal's personal guards, to strictly protect the back house of the marshal's tent, and no one is allowed to enter and leave at will! Then secretly send a military doctor to come and treat it! ”

Tantai Dandan looked at Li Xueyan in surprise and nodded decisively, "That's good!" You go to Zhang Tong, I'll go to Su Lianqing! ”

"Why are you looking for Su Lianqing?" Li Xueyan asked eagerly.

"Obviously, the young marshal is poisoned!" Tantai Dandan walked out while talking urgently, "I don't have time to explain, hurry up!" ”

Tantai Dandan formed a ghost and floated away.

Li Xueyan's face was already like a blank piece of paper, and although she was forced to calm down, she still couldn't help but feel cold and shivering. She leaned down, turned Qin Mubai's face over, faced his blood-stained face, and muttered, "I'd rather believe that you are using bitter meat tricks, even I am cheating, I don't want you to really be poisoned!" Mu Bai, you must not have anything! Otherwise......"

Soon after, the camp was secretly placed under martial law and resembled an iron bucket.

Su Lianqing came, carefully inspected Qin Mubai for a while, and exclaimed in a stern and unkind tone, "It's broken!" ”

Li Xueyan, Tantai Shuangshuang and Zhang Tong, who were present, were all frightened, and Qi asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Qin Mubai, I have been hit by an extremely violent poison! Dying! Su Lianqing stomped his feet anxiously, "It's a shame that in this ghost place now, how can I find the materials for preparing the antidote for a while!" ”

"What then?" Tantai Dandan eagerly grabbed Su Lianqing's hand, "Sister Su, you must come up with a way!"

"In any case, we must save the young marshal's life first!" Zhang Tong said categorically, "What medicinal herbs do you want, you just say!" Even if it's dragon liver and phoenix gall, I'll take it! ”

Li Xueyan stared at Su Lianqing in disbelief and muttered, "Really? It's true? How can this be true?! ”

"What's really fake? Are you stupid, demonic? Su Lianqing said angrily, "Would the old lady joke about this kind of thing?" Hugh said that human life is at stake, and I don't know how important he is now? ”

"When has it been, and is it still noisy?" Zhang Tong shouted, "Su Lianqing, the young marshal is also your great benefactor, no matter what, you must save him!" ”

Su Lianqing's eyes lit up, and she suddenly clapped her hands and said, "I can't prepare an antidote for a while, but there is one person, there must be!" ”

"Who?"

"That's it, the Tibetan barbarian who was secretly escorted to the back camp by you before!"

"You mean, he could have poisoned the young marshal?" Zhang Tong suddenly gritted his teeth, "Leave it to me!" ”

"If he poisoned him, then he may not have an antidote on him." Su Lianqing said decisively, "You send someone to fetch me these herbs first, even if you can't cure the poison on his body, you can protect your heart and save your life first!" ”

"Good! - Let's go our separate ways! Zhang Tong said, "Remember, keep it secret!" Don't leak the news, so as not to mess up the morale of the army and ruin the big thing! ”

……

Qin Mubai has not appeared in the army for a whole day. When the word came out, he handed over all the military affairs to Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun to take care of. The two of them were a little discordant, and often caused some disputes or disagreements, and when they wanted to come to Qin Mubai to comment in person, they were all blocked from seeing anyone.

At first, everyone didn't care, but after two or three days in a row, they still didn't see Qin Mubai come out and show their heads, and they didn't even say a word to Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun.

The generals couldn't sit still, Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun took Yuwen Hongtai and other generals to rush into the camp behind the tent, and they had to see Qin Mubai. As a result, they were all blasted out by Qin Mubai's relatives and guards, mercilessly, and there was not a single one left!

After such a trouble, the generals were even more suspicious in their hearts - could it be that Qin Mubai had an accident?!

That's worth it!!

At this time, the experienced Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun reached a consensus coincidentally - block the news and no longer make trouble! No matter whether Qin Mubai had any accidents or not, the top priority is to stabilize the army's morale first!

So the second general announced to the outside world that they had already met the boss, Qin Mubai came to recuperate from his injuries with peace of mind, and secondly, he was concentrating on planning the next important military plan, so he didn't want to be disturbed. Idle and miscellaneous military affairs were handed over to Hou and Xue Generals to take charge of the cooking. From now on, no one is allowed to say anything about the war, and wait for the commander's military order to act with peace of mind.

Qin Mubai's "disappearance", Hou and Xue cooperated sincerely. Although they, like everyone else, hadn't even seen Qin Mubai's scaly claws, the overall situation they had cultivated through the experience they had accumulated over the years was enough for them to deal with the situation in front of them.

For several days, Li Xueyan stayed in front of Qin Mubai's bed to take care of her. The Tubo man refused to admit that he poisoned Qin Mubai, so naturally he did not hand over the antidote. Su Lianqing tried her best, and finally suppressed the poison in Qin Mubai's place for a while, saying, "I can't die for a while, but if there is no antidote, no one knows how long he can last."

Li Xueyan had a hard time believing her eyes, but this was clearly the truth. Thinking of the series of strange actions that Qin Mubai gave her before, she had every reason to suspect that Qin Mubai was playing tricks and laying out. But...... Seeing him lying half-dead on the bed at the moment, how could he not let his heart be confused and lose his square inch?

"Mu Bai, Hou Junji, they have already come to break into the handsome tent to see you, should I open that red bag?" Although he knew that Qin Mubai would not answer, Li Xueyan still asked. After asking, she took out the bag from her arms and carefully opened it, there was an unfolded paper inside, and there were nine words on the outermost layer - "Others don't look at Hou Junji's personal opening".

"Okay, I listen to you, I don't watch! …… I promised you, I will listen to you! Li Xueyan took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and nodded, "I'll go find Hou Junji!" ”
