As the hot sun rose to the middle of the sky overhead, in the distance of the skyline, a wisp of dust continued to stretch and grow at a rapid pace.

One man and two horses galloped quickly through the grassland, where most of the loess was exposed, and not far away Temujin's army had stopped its march as the dust flew towards them like a yellow dragon.

There is no scout in front to pass back the enemy's situation, so the only one who can pass through the scout and then approach the army is the scout sent back by Ye Qing.

As the scout appeared in Temujin's sight, Temujin's expression became deeper and deeper, and he sat on the back of his horse and silently watched the galloping soldiers, and said in a low voice: "Destiny...... The two of them, the beggar gods, slaves, and Ye Li Zhan immediately came to the tent. Mo Xiaobao silently watched as his soldiers turned their horses' heads and galloped towards the rear, a little incomprehensible, before they saw Lord Ye's scouts, Temujin summoned them far behind, and it took an hour for the fast horse to reach the two of the begging stone martyrs and the two of them.

"Greet your soldiers and horses, it's time for battle." Temujin turned his head and looked at Zhong Silkworm, Mo Xiaobao, and Borshu and said solemnly again.

As Temujin's words faded away, the sound of the speeding scout's hooves was clearly audible, and the scout on horseback gave the impression of being crumbling and hanging by a thread.

The two war horses stopped in front of Temujin and the others, and the scout on horseback fell off not so much as jumping off the horse, and a waist knife that had been broken for most of it was still pinched in his hand, and the war horse under his crotch was also fluttering and snorting at the moment.

As far as the eye could see, the two horses showed signs of exhaustion, just like the scout.

"What's going on?" Temujin's brow furrowed even tighter.

"Lord Ye said, this is a trap, it is a trap of the Liao people's southern courtyard king Xiao Li's thorn and the Khorezm people, early this morning, the sun god of the Khorezm people will rush to the camp of the Khorezm people, ready to send everyone to fight us." The scout said breathlessly, and this scout was the soldier who was like Tang Seng last night, even when he was escaping, he had to dutifully translate in Ye Qing's ear.

Temujin's expression did not change, this was what he and Ye Qing had already thought of, and it was also the reason why he didn't send other scouts, but let Ye Qing personally visit the camp, after all, the stakes were very high, if he sent someone else, he might be able to find out more clearly about the deployment of the troops of the Khorezm people and other news, but for this kind of political thing, it is obvious that these people will not be as sensitive as Ye Qing.

So at that time, after thinking about it and planning for a long time, they found that there were only two candidates suitable for exploring the camp, one was Temujin, who was the commander of the whole army, and the other was Ye Qing.

Looking at the two equally tired and panting horses, the strong legs of the horses seemed to be trembling, Temujin asked in a deep voice, "Only you were sent back?" Or ....... ”

Ye Qing only brought thirty people with him when he set off, and now he has returned twenty-six people, and Ye Qing only has four personal soldiers and one Mu Huali left, which Temujin is also very clear.

"Back to the Great Khan, Lord Ye sent four people including the last general once before ......and after." The soldier took the water bag and poured it on his face while drinking it, and said to cool off.

"What? Actually sent four people back? Temujin, who had been squatting on the ground, stood up and asked.

"The last general does not dare to disobey Lord Ye, I have to listen to Lord Ye's orders, please punish the Great Khan! In order to ensure that this news could be sent to the Great Khan, Lord Ye had to take the lead in sending two other personal soldiers, and then after we finally broke through from Zoroastrianism, he sent the two of us back with the same news....... The soldier knelt down in front of Temujin and said.

"What happened to Lord Ye and General Mu Huali?" Mo Xiaobao hurriedly asked.

The soldiers had to start running them into Zoroastrianism, and then found that the Liao people's conversation with the sun god and how they broke through to Zoroastrianism were told from beginning to end.

"That is to say, before you completely broke through, Ye Qing sent two scouts, and after you finally got rid of the pursuit of the Zoroastrian guards, Ye Qing was worried that they would encounter unexpected situations on the way, so in order to ensure that they could report the news to me, he had to send the two of you back, that is to say...... Now by Ye Qing's side, there is only Mu Huali alone? Temujin asked with a sneer, even with a hint of anger in his tone.

It's just that no one knows whether his anger is because he is worried about Ye Qing's disregard for his own safety, or because Ye Qing has left Mu Huali by his side.

"Hui Da Khan, it is indeed ......." The soldier replied.

"Then why are you the only one coming back?" Temujin asked, interrupting.

"The other three died in battle to protect the last general along the way." The soldiers lowered their heads, and their voices were low and inaudible.

As soon as he thought of the breakthrough along the way, in order to protect him, the three of them blocked the pursuers behind him one by one, and he felt a sense of guilt in his heart, feeling that he was coming back alive now, more like a deserter.

"If Ye Qing and Mu Huali have three long and two short, I, Temujin, will skin you!" Temujin said coldly.

He also believed that Mu Huali would never leave Ye Qing and run back alone when Ye Qing did not leave, just like when he was still a slave, Mu Huali had always accompanied him, and similarly, he had never treated Mu Huali as a slave.

So at this moment, Temujin had to start redeploying how to fight, as well as reducing the pressure on Ye Qing and Mu Huali as much as possible.

He believed that Ye Qing and Mu Huali had made such a big disturbance in Ifa City, and the Khorezm people would never let the two of them go, and similarly, they would speed up the preparation of the army and prepare for war with them.

Everything must be fast, it must take an overwhelming advantage in speed, and it must make the enemy not gain a firm foothold, just like a divine soldier descending from heaven, killing him and throwing away his armor.

"Are you a slave of Temujin?" Ye Qing looked at Mu Huali, who was dark-skinned and also tall and strong, and the spear wound on his shoulder, even though Ye Qing had tried his best to block Mu Huali with his palm, he still left a bloody hole in Mu Huali's shoulder.

Mu Huali glanced down at the wound on his shoulder, when Ye Qing had just poured wine on it, the pain in his heart made him almost scream.

"Not bad...... The pain of the wound made Mu Huali gasp, and then pulled the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "It was my father who gave me to the Great Khan as a slave, and this was my grandfather's idea, and of course, along with me, my younger brother." Of course, the Great Khan never treated me like his slave, he always regarded me as a brother. ”

"No wonder you are so loyal, so you should have been told to report to Temujin last night." Ye Qing said with a smile while bandaging Mu Huali's wounds.

They can't live in the inn anymore, since they got rid of the chasing soldiers from Zoroastrianism last night, the entire Ifa City has not been in peace, large and small inns and other places have been searched by Zoroastrianism, even they haven't let go of the dwellings, so at this moment, Ye Qing and Mu Huali can only hide in a cowshed behind Zoroastrianism.

"If I go back and leave you here to attract the attention of the enemy, I Mu Huali will have a bad conscience for the rest of my life. And...... I am now under you, Lord Ye, and I have to fulfill my responsibilities, and I can't lose the face of the Great Khan. Mu Huali touched Ye Qing's wound after helping him bandage it, and nodded to Ye Qing with a smile, which can be regarded as gratitude to Ye Qing for helping him bandage his wound.

"The fact that the Qiyan tribe was able to become such a powerful tribe on the grassland, in addition to Temujin's own efforts, is because of the brave and loyal soldiers such as you and Borshu and others, which is really enviable." Ye Qing leaned against the cow trough and sighed, the wooden fence in front of him was just through the gap, and he could see the scene on the street, so for the time being, they were not too likely to be discovered.

"Lord Ye also has brave and loyal people around him, isn't it? Aren't Zhong Silkworm and Mo Xiaobao also loyal to Lord Ye? And the two of them are also brave and strategic, and the last general is very clear in his heart. Mu Huali didn't say it thoroughly.

Obviously, on the grassland, he probably fought with Zhong Silkworm and Mo Xiaobao, but at this time, they are like an alliance, and they still have to take into account each other's faces and feelings, and they just know what they say.

"Judging from your fight with Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm, they may become great talents?" Ye Qing further pierced the window paper and asked.

Mu Huali frowned, took the wine bag in Ye Qing's hand, poured it into his mouth, and after thinking for a while, he said, "They are all powerful, even ......." Mu Huali's expression looked a little hesitant, and then he smiled and said, "I don't want to have such a strong enemy as my lord, so I hope that you can always be brothers with our Great Khan." If I were to be an enemy one day, I would really have a headache. ”

"Why do you say that?" Ye Qing asked with a smile.

"The other Song generals don't know very well, because they haven't fought each other." Mu Huali finally admitted the battle with Mo Xiaobao on the grassland head-on, and after a pause, continued: "But if the Song army is as strong as the flower planting army, the last general will be a little puzzled, with such a strong force, why would they be beaten by the Jin people and flee south. In short, the army of the flower planters under the command of the adults is very strong, even now, if the Great Khan leads me and Borshu, you lead Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm, and we each have 5,000 people fighting on the grassland, and it is difficult to say who will kill the deer. ”

"Isn't that really flattering me? It's not because I saved you several times last night and just bandaged your wounds, so I say that? Ye Qing asked with a smile.

Mu Huali's gaze followed Ye Qing's words, and shifted to Ye Qing's injured left hand, which was also tied with a thick bandage at the moment, the cracked palm was shocking, after a night of fighting, there was no time to properly bandage the wound, just before the formal bandaging, the flesh turned up on both sides had begun to turn white, and even the white bones in the palm were faintly visible.

"I would like to thank you for saving your life, and what I just said was from the bottom of my heart...... In the future, if the Lord gives orders to the Admiral, as long as the Admiral does not betray the Great Khan, oppose the Tatars, or betray the Tatars, the Admiral will obey your dispatch at any time. Mu Huali knelt on one knee and said solemnly to Ye Qing.

"Just kidding, why take it so seriously. It's easy to save you, and it's easy to win you over. As the saying goes, the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, how can I, Ye Qing, endure what I want? Ye Qing smiled and patted Mu Huali's shoulder, and a trace of pity and loss flashed in his heart.

He did intend to woo Mu Huali, even at the expense of abolishing his palm, after a night's work, of course he had time to deal with the wound on his palm, but in order to maximize the benefits of the wound, he just bandaged it in a hurry, what he wanted was to just let Mu Huali see that the flesh of his palm was white, and he could vaguely see the miserable effect of the white bones, hoping to impress Mu Huali.

Now it seems that everything is in vain, and his left hand hurts all night, but fortunately, at least he didn't abolish his left hand because of the failure to win over Mu Huali, but he was just a little injured.

"After the departure of the sun god in the city, the city defense will inevitably be relaxed, and the night of searching does not find any suspicious characters, and their attention will inevitably be on the sun god. Because they will think that our actions last night were aimed at assassinating the sun god, so they must be more careful along the way, and we should not be too extravagant, just follow their large army from a distance. ”

After the ulterior motives were over, Ye Qing began to analyze the current situation with Mu Huali, because their quarrel last night at least prevented the Sun God from leaving Ifa City nearly two hours late today to go to Markhan or Keman City.

And this is enough for Ye Qing, he believes that from now on, the sun god will definitely be on strict guard along the way in case someone sneaks up on them, so in this way, it is natural to buy more time for Temujin to deploy how to attack the camp of the Khorezmians.

It's just a pity that he can't watch how Temujin uses troops on the battlefield, but what can make him feel a little comforted is that fortunately, Zhong Silkworm is still under Temujin's command, so he should be able to learn a lot, but it hurts Mo Xiaobao, and he has to lead the remaining 5,000 people to fight alone.

"But the question is, how do we get out of town now?" Mu Huali smiled bitterly, and then looked down at the tattered clothes on the two of them.

Whether it was his shoulder or Ye Qing's palm, it was a wound bandaged in the cleanest place with the clothes on the two of them, so now the pants of the two of them are already a little shorter.

Even the only wine bag and wine in this hand were stolen from the house of the owner who was still scolding in the front yard.

"Don't worry, no problem. I've already figured out when we're fleeing here, and it's not far from here, the river that is supposed to flow through the canyon from here, so if the city is still heavily defended, we can dive out of the city, but it won't do us much good. And listen to the ...... next door. Ye Qing smiled and raised his head and said.

A crisp singing voice faintly came from the courtyard next to him, and Mu Huali's eyes lit up: "Is it Qinglou?" ”

"Sister Qing, these days, are you going crazy thinking about women?" Ye Qing smiled and continued: "I climbed the wall just now to take a look, it should be a family with a newly married wife, so there must be men's clothes in his house, let's rest for a while, and then quietly go over and change into two clothes." ”

When Ye Qing spoke, Mu Huali had already gotten up cautiously, looked at the big black cow grazing in front of him who was disturbed by him, out of the nature of a nomad, he patted the cow's head twice, and then walked to the low wall and looked over.

There are no human figures in the clean courtyard, only occasionally you can hear the singing faintly coming over, and then look at some of the manicured places in the backyard, but you can feel a new and festive taste of eggs.

Secretly climbed over the wall with Ye Qing, and gradually lurked under the window of the room where the singing came from, Mu Huali was about to raise his head and look at the window, wanting to see the scene in the room, when the singing also stopped abruptly at this time.

Frightened, Mu Huali hurriedly bent down again and waited quietly, and then felt Ye Qing kick him in the back, so he looked back and saw a young woman standing at the door of the room with a nervous expression, looking at them like a wild man.

The woman was so frightened by the two ragged savages in front of her that she forgot to shout, she just stared at Ye Qing and Mu Huali who were slowly getting up, stretched out her arm and pointed at Ye Qing, and when she was about to speak, Ye Qing rushed up with an arrow, covered the young woman's mouth, and then brought the woman into the room with Mu Huali.
