It is said that General Feng's side, after two days and two nights of running, is finally about to reach the border of Southern Chu.

Seeing that victory was in sight, the tight strings that Liu Changfeng and blacksmith Sun had on the way could finally be loosened. And General Feng's expression was still solemn, as if there was some major difficulty in his heart.

Blacksmith Sun thought that General Feng was worried about the battle ahead, but in fact, Feng Rubing was worried about Qin Luo's prediction, and he was worried that Xiang Qiang would attack the east and west, and he intended to attack Yangcheng.

For Feng Rubing, escaping from Xiang Qiang is just the first step in the plan, and the later levels are more difficult.

Near the border of Southern Chu, the leader of the caravan has been waiting here for a long time. A few days ago, the blacksmith Sun sent a message to the caravan leader about the situation here.

At this moment, he saw three people running towards the border city in the distance, and the leader of the caravan saw this, and hurriedly went down the city tower to meet him at the gate of the city. Sure enough, among the three people who came over, there was indeed General Feng.

"General Feng." The leader of the caravan asked, "Is everything going well?" ”

"Thankfully, I didn't encounter any enemy soldiers." Feng Rubing pointed to Liu Changfeng and Blacksmith Sun behind him, and said, "Thanks to these two escorts I have here, as well as Qin Luo, who led away the pursuers for me." ”

"Blacksmith Sun, you're here too." The leader of the caravan knew the blacksmith Sun, but he didn't know Liu Changfeng next to him.

Blacksmith Sun introduced: "This is Liu Changfeng, and he is also our person. There is also Qin Luo, General Feng has already seen it. ”

"Qin Luo is really a rare talent." Feng Rubing praised, "Before leaving, Qin Luo saw me, and he suspected that Xiang Qiang was feinting to attack Shuzhou this time, and his real purpose was Yangcheng. ”

"What are you talking about, is it Yangcheng?" Blacksmith Sun and the others were taken aback. The leader of the caravan frowned and said, "However, the imperial court has increased its troops in Shuzhou. Yangcheng is not fortified. ”

"The defenders of Yangcheng are estimated to be tens of thousands, so naturally they can't resist Xiang Qiang's 200,000 army." Feng Rubing said, "I am going to rush to Yangcheng immediately, and on the side of the imperial court, I will discuss with other generals and jointly submit a letter asking for the transfer of troops and horses to tear up Xiang Qiang's conspiracy." ”

"It's just that the general, you just came back, and you asked the court for troops......" The caravan leader was a little speechless. Blacksmith Sun They are outside the pass, and they don't know the situation in Nanchu. When Mrs. Xu heard that Wuping Pass had been lost and that Marshal Mu and Feng Rubing had been captured, she was furious. Now Feng Rubing has fled back inexplicably, and I don't know if the imperial court will suspect that the general will surrender and commit treason.

Feng Rubing is not the first day to be a military general, so he naturally knows the urine nature of the imperial court. They will only be suspicious of their own people and fight in the nest. In the past, Feng Rubing would have disdained to participate in the struggle with the court party, but now at a very moment, he has to go up hard, fight to the death with the people in the court, and he has to bring the army over. Otherwise, Yangcheng is in danger.

Feng Rubing said that he would do it, found pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and immediately wrote a letter and handed it over to the imperial court. Then, he asked Liu Changfeng and blacksmith Sun to go back first to see if Qin Luo was okay.

Liu Changfeng and the others were also worried about Qin Luo's safety, so they no longer shirked and left directly. The two of them did not rest for a moment, and rode back to Danyang City on horseback.

And Qin Luo's side, fortunately, is covered by Ye Leyi, except for not being able to leave his tent, everything else is fine. Now the blacksmith Sun and the others have not returned, and Qin Luo has nothing to go out to contact them, so he stays in the tent with peace of mind, reading books every day, and occasionally dealing with government affairs.

The two guards beside Qin Luo, Qi Tai and Qi An, were strictly guarded by the Great Masters. Later, after checking and checking, even the eight generations of ancestors were turned out, and it was found that the two brothers, Qitai and Qian, were indeed Xiangqiang people. As they say, he entered the Xiangqiang military camp since he was a child, and was then selected to guard the Golden Palace. As for being a guard here in Qin Luo, it was also assigned by Tuoba Yan himself.

On the side of the Tuoba clan, they could no longer find any evidence to prove that Qin Luo collaborated with the enemy, and under the persecution of Ye Leyi, they had to lift Qin Luo's house arrest. Ye Leyi finally summoned Qin Luo, and in front of everyone, he said solemnly: "The matter of collaborating with the enemy, after investigation, is really misinformation. Lord Qin, you have been tired during this time. The great teachers are also for the sake of justice, please be considerate. ”

Qin Luo glanced at the great master, and saw Tuoba Sheng's calm face, not sad or happy on his face. He knew what Yereyi meant, and the two sides took a step back and were all right. So Qin Luo said in a sullen voice: "Since Yele Kedun has said so, I have nothing to complain about." ”

"Great Brother." Ye Leyi turned to Tuoba Sheng, "Qin Luo is magnanimous and no longer cares about this matter. Great Master, you should also apologize to Qin Luo to show your sincerity. ”

Before Tuoba Sheng could speak, a clan relative of the Tuoba clan next to him couldn't help but say: "The great master is highly respected, how can he apologize to Qin Luo?" ”

Yeleyi rolled her eyes in her heart and said to that person: "Who is not a sage who can be without fault, admit a mistake, and take this matter, isn't it better?" ”

"Who said it was wrong, it's just that we haven't found evidence yet." The man looked at Qin Luo indignantly, "Qin Luo, don't be complacent, you kid, one day, your fox tail will be exposed." ”

"Bold!" Yeleyi suddenly slapped the table and roared, "If you want to add to the crime, why bother? Obviously, you did something wrong, and you have to frame Lord Qin. ”

Qin Luo saw Ye Leyi's actions, speechless and didn't know what to say. Sure enough, if people pretend too much, they will expose their true nature, you know, Ye Letian will not roar like this.

But the men were still frightened by the majesty of Jelkotun, and they shut up one after another, not daring to say any more. Yereyi also found that he was almost exposed at this time, so he waved his hand, "Forget it, you all step down." ”

The great master glanced at "Ye Letian" suspiciously, didn't say anything more, and left with the other clansmen. Qin Luo caught the doubt in Tuoba Sheng's eyes, he waited for the rest of the people to leave, stayed at the end, and shook his head slightly at Ye Leyi, "The great master must be suspicious." ”

Ye Leyi said indifferently: "What is he suspicious, and he doesn't know my sister." Besides, people always change. ”

"It's too dangerous to go on like this." Qin Luo said, "Moreover, 'Ye Le' is a stranger to me, she shouldn't stand up and speak for me." ”

"You're wrong, although my sister has a weak temperament, she is not indistinguishable from wrong. When she sees injustices in the world, she loves to support the weak and help them. If my sister sees this situation, she will also help you. ”

Qin Luo shook his head and said, "Your sister may help me, or go to the cell to bring me food, or ask the prison boss not to abuse the prisoners." But she won't be like you, directly working against the clansmen. ”

Yeleyi stuck out his tongue, he was really a fan of the authorities, and the bystanders were clear. With the character of her sister Ye Letian, she will indeed be like Qin Luo said, just within the scope of her ability, taking care of the weak, rather than resisting the strong.

"It's come to this, and I can't help it." Ye Leyi shrugged his shoulders and said instead, "Qin Luo, you can go out freely now, and we'll see you in Shishan tomorrow?" ”

"I've just been released, so I'm going to see you, it's not good." Qin Luo was worried that those clans would secretly follow him, affecting Ye Leyi.

But Yeleyi didn't care about it, she smiled: "I met you before, isn't there a risk of being followed?" What's the difference between this time and before? ”

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Qin Luo was irrefutable, he was really a dangerous person, and everyone close to him was more or less at risk. Qin Luo thought of blacksmith Sun and Liu Changfeng, and he didn't know how they were after not seeing each other for so many days.

In fact, the blacksmith Sun and them returned to the grassland a few days ago. They sent insiders to inquire everywhere, and they were immediately relieved to hear that Qin Luo was under house arrest, not imprisonment. Unexpectedly, Tuoba Sheng and the others actually let Qin Luo go, although they were still interrogating, but it was much better than they imagined.

Blacksmith Sun asked Liu Changfeng not to act rashly until he was released from house arrest, and Liu Changfeng immediately sneaked into Qin Luo's tent overnight. He looked Qin Luo up and down, and asked eagerly, "How is it, you haven't been tortured by them, have you?" ”

"Fortunately, Yeleyi helped me, and I escaped this catastrophe." Qin Luo told the details of that day in detail, and Liu Changfeng knew the whole story.

"Yeleyi actually helped you three times and twice, helped you Tibet, and helped you out of the siege, shouldn't she like you?"

Liu Changfeng said something unintentional, but he suddenly revealed the truth. Qin Luo had to look at him left and right, "You haven't told me yet, how General Feng is." ”

Liu Changfeng got back to business, "Uncle Sun and I sent General Feng to the border, and there was a caravan leader over there to answer him. General Feng also said that the target of Tuoba Yan's attack was Yangcheng. ”

Qin Luo nodded heavily, "As I expected, Yangcheng is in danger." I only hope that General Feng can have a way to rescue Yangcheng. ”

"General Feng has written to the imperial court to increase the troops in Yangcheng. I just don't know if the court will agree. ”

Qin Luo was also worried about this, and he was clear about the bends and bends of the Great Chu Imperial Court. General Feng is just a border general, and he is also a general who has been captured. It is not yet known whether the imperial court will trust him.

On the side of the Southern Chu Mission, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu was still bargaining with the second prince Tuoba Ling. Xiang Qiang wanted half of Nanchu's country, but Nanchu certainly didn't want to. But the second prince is not in a hurry, they have time, sooner or later they will break through Yangcheng and approach Pingcheng.

Within the mission, there have been many quarrels and shouts, and they are divided into two factions. Some people suggested ceding half of the country, and some wanted to go back to their homes.

At this time, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu received instructions from the imperial court to delay time with Xiang Qiang and to investigate the movements of Xiang Qiang's army. The people in the imperial court finally received General Feng's letter. Although they were suspicious of this, they even suspected that Feng Rubing was collaborating with the enemy and treason and deliberately passed on the wrong news. But after several fierce court discussions, they decided to use the tactic of delaying the army. Drag Xiang Qiang and increase troops in Yangcheng.
