"This is a secret map, it is used by the generals of the court and the general, but the embroidered messenger handed this thing to the general, do you know what I want you to do?"

Lu Zhao was slightly stunned, he looked at the handkerchief in his hand and suddenly remembered, only then did he feel that something was wrong, and when he was monitoring on the roof, he did see Jiang Twelve take out this picture from the package and hesitated for a long time, obviously the matter involved in this picture is not trivial.

Lu Zhao didn't know much about Jiang Twelve, but he happened to be rescued by the Huns that day, but the identity of his embroidered messenger showed that this person should have no other intentions, and now that he has returned again, he still has a secret map that only General Cao can understand, which illustrates a problem.

There must be traitors in the DPRK and the Xiongnu collusion, and he is the general of the DPRK, now is an extraordinary period, and General Cao Lao is guarding the border pass, and many things may have a lot of inconvenience if he handles them personally, so he should only make this decision.

"What does the old general mean by letting his subordinates go and investigate who is behind this scene?"

Cao Xianye nodded: "That's right, if the old man is usually the old man, he will definitely summon them to confront me face to face and ask about the process, but the current situation is turbulent, if this matter is too pursued, I am afraid that it will shake the morale of the army, and this person should have informed Ge Tianyuan of the way to read the secret map, so she will let Jiang Twelve bring back such information." ”

Speaking of this, Cao Xianye's hands clenched slightly, and he stared at the ground in front of him, and his eyes almost burst into flames.

Lu Zhao can understand General Cao's current mood very well, and the people who can read the secret map must be people he trusts very much, but at this moment, the other party betrayed him like this, and it was at such a time.

Lu Zhao knelt down to receive the order: "General Cao, please rest assured, his subordinates will do their best." ”

"That's natural, but at the moment the old man has one more thing for you to do."

Lu Zhao nodded: "The general said that it doesn't matter, his subordinates will do their best!" ”

Seeing Lu Zhao like this, Cao Xianye sighed slightly: "You will definitely return to the court this time and bring Princess Shiyi back to a safe place to wait for peace." ”

Lu Zhao's body trembled, he raised his head and looked at Cao Xianye in disbelief: "The general is like this?" ”

"Don't ask about irrelevant things, you just have to get these two things done, and you remember that you can't let Princess Shiyi know about this matter, otherwise the old man is the only one who asks!"

Although Lu Zhao didn't understand Cao Xianye's behavior, he had already promised Shiyi not to ask about peace, but he still nodded accordingly when the military order was difficult to disobey.

Out of the camp Lu Zhao breathed a long sigh of relief, and at the same time his heart became heavier, he looked at the camp not far away, it is estimated that Shi Yi and Zhao Lingyun have fallen asleep at this time, right?

He subconsciously grabbed the handkerchief in his hand and returned to his residence, Yu Zhan had already woken up, he sat at the door and stared at the knife in his hand without speaking, even Lu Zhao was already standing in front of him and did not have any reaction.

"What's wrong? Got something on your mind? ”

Yu Zhan was taken aback, he was so hurried that he raised his head and found that Lu Zhao had already arrived, he sighed and inserted the knife in his hand back into the scabbard, Lu Zhao found that the position of his scabbard had returned to its original position.

"No, I'm just feeling a little sick." Yu Zhan stared at the ground in front of him, the cold wind of winter swept on this young face, although the two of them were close at hand, Lu Zhao felt that a barrier had been quietly erected between the two of them at some point, although this barrier was thin, but it gradually opened the hearts of the two people.

After a while, Yu Zhan raised his head and looked at Lu Zhao beside him, he was dressed in a military uniform, and he was wearing the armor given by the general himself, he was so radiant, but he looked so lonely.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Yu Zhan shook his head: "No, my body is very good, but I have a question that I haven't figured out now, why are we doing this for?" ”

Lu Zhao blinked, he didn't quite understand what Yu Zhan meant.

Yu Zhan saw that Lu Zhao didn't say anything, so he continued: "Before the embroidered messenger entered the village, we just wanted to live and how to deal with those Huns, but now that we have joined the army inexplicably, and we have encountered these things inexplicably, I don't understand what the meaning of us doing these things is?" ”

Yu Zhan held his head in some pain, the entanglement and fear in his heart made him unable to think normally, family and friends, stability and turmoil, it seemed that all the contradictions were gathered on his body alone, and he was a little at a loss.

"It's not for anything, all we have to do is to live as a Han man with a straight waist, that's all."

Lu Zhao stared at Yu Zhan's eyes, there was a flame of hope bursting out of those eyes, this young man seemed to have endless strength and seemed to have an infinite sense of justice, and all this made Yu Zhan feel lost.

This is not something that belongs to him, it seems that as the woman said, all this may be what Lu Zhao wants, and all he wants is to live quietly.

The air was unusually silent, and the invisible wall between the two was erected, Lu Zhao hesitated for a moment and asked the words in his heart: "Do you want to go back?" ”

But Yu Zhan smiled: "Go back? Is there anywhere else we can go back? ”

For a while, Lu Zhao didn't know how to respond, the two just sat in place and didn't speak, they avoided each other's gaze, and neither dared to compete with each other.

There are some things in their hearts that they can't know by the other party, Yu Zhan is like this, and so is Lu Zhao.

From the time when the Huns invaded the people, Lu Zhao had the enthusiasm to join the army and defend the country, he has been with Yu Zhan since he was a child, and the two have always been the best playmates, but in this matter, Lu Zhao felt that he was too arbitrary and did not understand Yu Zhan's thoughts.

And Yu Zhan is also very entangled at the moment, brother or family, how to choose?

Time passed by by by and the busy tent seemed to have returned to its former tranquility, Lu Zhao and the others had already slept, but Yu Zhan was shrunk in the quilt and made a difficult choice.

Inadvertently, he touched a hard object in his arms, and he pulled it out to find that it was an accessory that his mother had left him.

Unconsciously, he had been away from home for many days and didn't know if they were okay, thinking of this, Yu Zhan's heart sank, and a sourness welled up in his heart, he pulled open the quilt, looked at the other people in the tent and walked slowly to the courtyard.

It was less than half a quarter of the time, Yu Zhan grabbed the accessories in his hand and came to a vacant place where no one was around, and just as he wanted to light a torch, a business floated to his ears.

"Sure enough, you're here."

Yu Zhan hurriedly turned around, that person was Ge Tianyuan, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, why did this woman appear in this place?

"Since you have agreed to our cooperation, I will definitely find a way to protect your family, and you must be obedient, otherwise you will ......"

A cold light flashed in the woman's eyes, which made Yu Zhan shudder, he subconsciously swallowed and spit, and grabbed the accessories in his hand tighter: "What do you want me to do?" ”

"Come here, I'll tell you!" Ge Tianyuan beckoned to him, and after Yu Zhan looked around to make sure that there was no one, he came to Ge Tianyuan.

Suddenly, the face of the woman in front of her changed suddenly, and before Yu Zhan could react, he only felt a tightness in his throat, and then it seemed that something was stuffed.

"This is a chronic poison that is extremely painful when it comes out, and the antidote must be taken regularly."

"You!" Yu Zhan was indignant: "Didn't I already agree to cooperate with you, why do you still use such a trick?" ”

"No, no, no, this is not a trick, a little doll like you naturally doesn't know what to take precautions, so many years, my experience has taught me that it is very necessary to do so, and I meet you in Pingshui, I don't expect you to be with me wholeheartedly, so I can only make this decision."

Yu Zhan clenched his fists, but he knew that killing this woman would not do him any good.

"And what do you want me to do?"

"It's easy! Homicide! ”
