"Lord Lang, it's not good! Those miscellaneous beards were about to catch up, and the dozen or so brothers behind the palace were all killed in battle. A middle-aged knight covered in blood, wearing torn leather armor, and bleeding from his body and arms, panted.

"How many more soldiers?" An old man with gray hair but strong spirits said.

"There are only fifty left." Middle-aged knight road.

"Oh no, Lord Lang." A young knight arrived on horseback.

"Shichiro, aren't you exploring the way ahead? How did it come back again. Could it be that something is going on up ahead. The middle-aged knight said with some bad premonitions.

"Lord Lang, I found more than 100 Hu riders in front. We're surrounded. The young knight panicked.

"I said, how could these crumbs suddenly slow down. It turned out that someone had already been sent to intercept us in advance. The middle-aged knight came to his senses.

The old man on the side was also a little speechless by this sudden news, and after a long time, the old man said in a little despair:

"I didn't expect that I, Cui Shen, would be buried here, and I didn't expect that my dignified Qinghe Cui clan (one) would be wiped out here."

"It's just a nuisance to you, Li Xiu." The old man turned his head to a woman in a strong suit next to him and said.

"It's okay, Gong Cui, if you hadn't taken me in. I'd already starve to death. "The woman in the power suit hugged her fists.

"What's more, Cui Gong, don't despair. There's a valley near here, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We can take refuge here for the time being. ”

"That's it. But without reinforcements, they will eventually perish. The old man sighed.

"Li Xiu, is there a Jin person in this vicinity? We can call for help. ”

The woman in the power suit thought for a while and said:

"About ten miles to the southwest, there is a group called Xixiang. But I don't know much about Saigo. I only know that it seems to have been built by the Liu clan in Huainan. Before my Li clan was destroyed, I sent a certain eldest brother to ask for help. I don't know if my eldest brother is still in Saigo. There's only one in the area. ”

"There's no way, now I can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor."

"Come, Shichiro, come here. My Cui's best riding skills are you, and while the encirclement of Hu Qi has not yet been fully formed, you immediately rush out on two fast horses and go to Xixiang for help. ”

"Whether my Cui clan can survive depends on you." After speaking, the old man gently patted Shichiro's shoulder.

The young knight said with tears in his eyes: "Lord Lang, everyone, you must wait for so-and-so, you must wait for so-and-so to invite reinforcements from Xixiang." Everyone, hold on! ”

With that, the young knight rode his horse away quickly, and at the same time took the middle-aged knight's horse with him.

"Cui Zhang, it's up to you to do the rest." The old man said to the middle-aged knight next to him.

"Don't worry, Lord Lang. As long as you are alive, you will not let those crumbs come close to you. The middle-aged knight patted his chest and said.

"The old man believes in you." The old man smiled and gently hammered the middle-aged knight's chest.

"Tell the old man the order, and everyone will march towards the valley."

……

"My lord, just now a rider rushed out while I couldn't wait. Whether to send someone to chase and kill. ”

"No, as long as the team is there. Ignore that coward. ”

"But my lord, the convoy has taken refuge in the valley. The terrain there is dangerous, and it is not easy to attack. ”

"It's okay, although they're safe for the time being. But they also lost the possibility of escape. As long as we block the exit, they will definitely not be able to rush out. ”

"In addition, the Awabe Department has made an agreement with Lord Ben. But its leader, Vala, is not a man who can keep his promises. Just in case, give Ben-sama an immediate attack. ”

"No!"

"Sons of the God of Tenro, the prey in front of you has been trapped by us. The beauty of the car, the treasure is waiting for you to get it. Bring it to Ben-sama. ”

……

The sad Yang Wushao finally ended his miserable career as a new pawn. But he wasn't brought back by Liu Ye's roundabout methods. Rather, he was brought back because of his injuries.

When Yang Wushao was carried back to the Xiangjun Mansion, there was only one breath left. was so frightened that Yang's mother and Liu Ye's little wife Yang Ying fainted on the spot.

Fortunately, Xixiang Mansion's medical skills are good, so Yang Wushao can pick up a small life. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"How's Goro's condition?" Liu Ye asked the little wife beside him.

"The doctor said that the fifth brother's condition has stabilized." Yang Yingdao.

"That's good." Liu Ye nodded.

"It was the concubine who killed the fifth brother. If it weren't for the concubine's insistence on sending the fifth brother to the new pawn for exercise, the fifth brother would not have suffered this great crime. Yang Ying said guiltily.

Tears also fell.

Liu Ye, who felt sorry for his little wife, gently hugged Yang Ying in his arms and said:

"Don't cry, isn't Gorou okay now? You and your lord insisted on sending Gorou to the new pawn, and it wasn't because he didn't make it. You're thinking about him. It's not hurting him. ”

"But ......"

"Alright, alright. Isn't Gorou okay now? Hopefully he can grow a little bit this time. Liu Ye patted his little wife's shoulder and comforted.

The little wife didn't speak again, but buried her head in Liu Ye's arms with peace of mind.

The warmth didn't last long, though, when a servant trotted in.

"Lord Qi, Shibao has come to report that there is an emergency."

"What happened to the Stone Castle?"

"The person who delivered the letter just now has a lot of Hu Qi in the north of Shibao."

Liu Ye thought for a while and said:

"Someone came to inform Mr. Yang, Zuo Sima, Right Sima and others to hold an emergency meeting."

The servants departed immediately after receiving the order.

Liu Ye said to Yang Ying slightly apologetically:

"Ying'er, I'm sorry. The husband can't be with you anymore. ”

The little wife Yang Ying is still as virtuous as ever. After helping Liu Ye tidy up some wrinkled clothes, he said:

"It's all right, husband! Business first. The concubine is waiting for you in the backyard. ”

"Okay, so-and-so will go first. I'll come back later and I'll go with you to see Goro. Liu Ye said kindly. Before leaving, he kissed his little wife's forehead.

……

"You go down first!" Liu Ye said to the messenger from Shibao who came to deliver the letter.

"No!"

After the messenger left, Liu Ye continued:

"That's the way it is, what do you think?"

"It shouldn't be! It is the territory of the Ava Department, and it stands to reason that there should be no other Hu Qi. Right Sima Qin Ming said.

"And the most strange thing is that the Awabe actually acquiesced instead of sending troops to expel them." Arbiter Wang Yan continued.

"These Hu Qi should have reached some kind of agreement with the Awa Ministry, otherwise with the territorial consciousness of the Hu people, they would not be indifferent." Yang Yang guessed.

"Elder Yang, what you said is reasonable. Thinking that these riders might be chasing something, he promised some benefits to Awabe. Let the Avabe not attack them. Otherwise, these Hu Qi would not have had the courage to appear here with such a swagger. Zuo Sima Xiahou Wen said.

"Could it be a caravan?" Wang Yan said.

"Probably not." Yang Yang Road. Although the Hu people often plundered the Han Chinese. But they rarely robbed caravans. Will even take the initiative to help some caravans. Mainly because these tribes lacked necessities such as salt and iron, and needed to rely on caravans to come and exchange. Of course, there are exceptions to everything, and there are a few tribes with a desire for profit who also raid caravans, but very rarely.

"No matter what these Hu Qi do, it has nothing to do with my Xixiang, and Shibao is not something that can be gnawed down by just two or three hundred miscellaneous beards. However, just in case, the vigilance of the stone castle was strengthened, and many scouts were sent to understand the situation. The soldiers of the tun, as well as the longbow team and the light cavalry team, gathered. ”

"No!" Zuo Sima commanded.

"Report, Shibao Urgent" Just as Zuo Sima Xiahou Wen was about to leave, there was a commotion outside.
