Xue Shao slept very deeply, but his military career of more than ten years in his previous life had trained him to be extremely vigilant, as if he had grown an invisible "heart eye". Hearing the slightest movement outside the tent, his eyes opened.

Miraculously, the snoring has not changed in any way, and it still maintains the same rhythm and volume. No one thought he was awake. This may be regarded as a skill that has been practiced through so many life and death experiences in previous lives!

Two people outside the tent, as if they had no intention of leaving or coming in, stood outside and whispered.

When Xue Shao heard this, his expression suddenly became a little stunned, and he shouted, "Moon slave!" ”

"Ahh

A low exclamation sounded outside the tent, what a moon slave!

Xue Shao turned over and sat up, "Who else is the person?" All come in! ”

The two people outside the tent walked in one by one, the moon slave was dressed in a ranger suit, holding a long sword and wearing a black gauze palace hat, and it seemed to be extremely mysterious and full of sassy and heroic posture in the middle of the night. Coming in behind her was a tall man in chain armor and a hood.

Xue Shao couldn't help but be surprised when he saw him, "Master Wu? ”

It's actually Wu Ming!

"Shhh The moon slave stepped forward and bent down to kneel down on one knee, and whispered: "There are many people here, please come with us!" ”

Xue Shao nodded and got up, and walked out of the small tent with Yue Nu and Wu Ming. There were a lot of people in this area, and Li Duozuo sent some sergeants to protect them from taking advantage of the fire to rob them. Yue Nu and Wu Ming's skills were very agile, and they easily avoided the eyes of these guards, and their behavior seemed extremely mysterious.

Xue Shao did the same, and quietly left the refugee camp with them, heading deep into the woods on the outskirts.

The three of them didn't even talk to each other along the way, just like three top-level assassins lurking in the night, silently floating like ghosts.

Although Xue Shao was curious in his heart, he did not have the slightest doubt. If there is still one person left in this world who is worthy of Xue Shao's complete trust, it is definitely the Moon Slave!

The three of them finally stopped, this was already deep in a dense forest, and there was no way in. Xue Shao was very curious about how Wu Ming and Yuenu could accurately find the right direction in such a dense forest and dark night, and they didn't get lost.

There was a small cave in front of him, and Yue Nu lit two torches, one by himself and the other to Wu Ming, and the two of them asked Xue Shao to go into the cave one after the other.

The cave seems to be a little deeper, and it looks a bit like a lime lava cave when you go inside. After entering, light a torch and there is a wonderland of stone stalactites. At first, Xue Shao was a little worried that the carbon dioxide content in this lime cavern was too high, but now he is relieved to see that the torches can burn normally.

Ahead of him, the moon slave finally stopped, lit a few candles that had been set aside, and then extinguished the torches.

Xue Shao saw that there was a huge man lying on a stone flat with several beds of broken cotton wool, with his back to the three of them, as if he was sleeping deeply and as if he was in a coma.

Familiar!

Xue Shao walked over and pulled the big man over to see that it was actually Niu Ben!

Niu Ben woke up after being pulled by him like this, looked at Xue Shao in a daze, and suddenly jumped up as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and hugged Xue Shao as soon as he roared.

"White-faced, I've finally seen you again!"

"Stupid Bear...... Let go! Xue Shao was out of breath by him again.

"Woo, let's not meet in the underworld!" Niu Ben didn't care, and cried while hugging tightly.

"You're not ashamed to have a girl here!"

Niu Ben was stunned suddenly, then let go of Xue Shao, wiped a handful of snot and tears on his face and wiped it on the torn cotton wool, and smirked, "Moon slave girl, hehe...... Don't laugh at me! ”

Yue Nu took off his palace hat and laughed, didn't say much, brought two sheepskin bags and handed them to Xue Shao and Niu Ben respectively, which contained fruit wine in the army.

"Good stuff!" Niu Ben was very happy, "Is there any meat?" ”

Wu Ming threw over a baggage, which was filled with preserved meat from the army. Niu Ben was overjoyed and began to munch on it, apparently starving.

Xue Shao watched quietly from the side, this stupid bear can still eat and drink, and his limbs seem to be sound, so there should be nothing to do.

He exhaled a little and asked, "Moon Slave, why is he here?" ”

"That's a long story." Yue Nu didn't answer, Wu Ming stepped forward and said, "Childe, this Niu Ben brother was rescued by me from the knife of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Bingzhou. ”

"What?" Xue Shao was taken aback, "The Governor's Mansion wants to kill him?" ”

"That's right! The crux of that dog day! When Niu Ben heard this, he screamed angrily, and his mouth full of fruit wine and meat crumbs flew wildly.

Xue Shao wiped his face, and then covered his mouth with one hand, "Shut up, I'll just listen to Master Wu." ”

Niu Ben's eyes widened and he nodded, motioning for Xue Shao to take his hand away and stop him from eating.

All three of them couldn't help but laugh.

"Master Wu, say it!" Xue Shao said, "It's better to be concise and to the point. I had to go to the barracks after dawn to report. ”

"Okay." Wu Ming said, "I am now a newly recruited guard of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Bingzhou, because I have a few of my former colleagues who were officials and generals here, and they recognized me, so they made me a small idle official who supervised the treasury of grain and grass. One day, several fleeing civilians pushed the Niu Ben brothers to the treasury in a cart and asked us to help save people. At that time, the Niu Ben brothers were already half-dead, but they still held a bamboo tube in their hands and did not let go. I recognized it as the Scout's letterbox, and I knew that he must be escorting confidential military information. So I rescued him, and prepared to take the letter box from his hand and hand it over to the military officer of the Grand Governor's Office. Unexpectedly, the unconscious Niu Ben brothers didn't let go, and they still muttered about white-faced and white-faced. ”

Xue Shao frowned, turned around and asked Niu Ben, "How did you get like that?" ”

"Fell." Niu Ben pointed to his face, forehead, arms and legs, which were bruised and purple everywhere and torn skin, and said, "That horse thinks I am too heavy, and he foams at the mouth and refuses to run away after running with me in the middle of the night." I was in a hurry, so I pumped it desperately. As a result, before I arrived in Bingzhou, the stupid horse fell to the ground and died directly, and I also rolled down the hill and fainted. Fortunately, some people who fled saw that I was wearing armor, and knew that I was a guard of the Tang Dynasty, so they sent me to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Bingzhou. ”

Xue Shaozhi scratched his forehead and was very speechless, "Niu Ben, it seems that you are a life that is an infantry playing with a knife!" ”

"Huh?" Niu Ben was stunned, "Just because I can crush the horse?" ”

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, you still eat and drink!" Xue Shao couldn't help but laugh, "Master Wu, you go on." ”

Wu Ming smiled slightly and said, "The only purpose of my trip north to Merge State is to find you." Because I promised you that if you go with the army, I will stay with you. I learned that you had become an ordinary pawn and the first batch of grain arrived in Bingzhou, so I found a way to join the army in Bingzhou to inquire about you. At that time, I didn't think much about saving the Niu Ben brothers. He clung to the letterbox, and I didn't force it, but just called the officer in charge of the military aircraft. He managed to take down the letter box from Niu Ben's hand, hurriedly opened it but didn't recognize it, and was taken aback on the spot. The official was familiar with me, and I took a look at it with a moment of curiosity. ”

Xue Shao smiled knowingly, "So you know that the military report may be related to me?" ”

"Of course. Although I don't recognize it, but the moon slave and the demon are fiddling at home all day long, how do I not know that it is the secret code of Lantian? Wu Ming said, "At that time, the officials of Bingcao could not recognize these letters, so they took Niu Ben away. I knew that they were trying to wake Niu Ben up, and then asked him directly. Because I guessed that the matter might have something to do with you, I kept an eye on it and secretly eavesdropped on how they were going to interrogate Niu Ben. ”

"The result?"

Niu Ben yelled again, "As a result, after those dogs woke me up and learned my origins, they were going to kill me without asking any questions!" Fortunately, these two benefactors saved me! ”

Xue Shao's eyebrows tightened, "Have you ever said my 'Chengyu' name?" ”

"Of course!" Niu Ben said, "I am the only brother left with you, of course I desperately urge them to send troops to save you!" ”

Xue Shao slapped his face, "This is right before and after!" ”

Wu Mingyi frowned, "In this way, in the Governor's Mansion of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, there is really someone who wants to kill you?" ”

Xue Shao nodded, "It's still a conspiracy and a conspiracy, first kill Niu Ben's mouth and pretend not to know that I am in danger, and then use the knives of the Turks and rebels to kill me!" ”

"White-faced, what do you say?" Niu Ben was stunned and said, "What conspiracy, conspiracy, who wants to kill you?" Tell me that I'll go and he will chop the meat and feed it to the dogs! ”

"I know who is going to kill the son!" Yuenu said suddenly.

Niu Ben was stunned, "Childe? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, eat yours and drink yours. Let's talk about something. Xue Shao slapped him, then called Yue Nu and Wu Ming to the side, and asked in a low voice, "Yue Nu, what are you doing in Bingzhou?" ”

"Don't blame Childe, although the moon slave came to Bingzhou with me all the way, he came with the mission of Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping, not for anything else." Wu Ming said.

"Princess?" Xue Shao was surprised, "What did she call you for?" ”

Yuenu said: "Your Highness asked me to convey two things to Gongzi and send one thing. ”

"Your Highness? It seems like you've never taken the initiative to use this honorific title on her. Xue Shao smiled, "What's the matter, let's talk about it!" ”

Yue Nu smiled awkwardly and said, "First thing, His Royal Highness asked me to tell Gongzi that Gongzi can rest assured that the Xue Mansion will take care of her." The eldest son has returned to Jeju to take up his job, and the princess took her wife and the demon to live with her, either in the palace or in the Hibiscus Garden, and they get along happily day and night. In addition, His Royal Highness specially asked me to tell my son that the queen of heaven actually likes the demon girl very much. ”

Xue Shao suddenly thought reflexively: That little demon wouldn't babble nonsense in front of Wu Zetian about what "volume" to measure, and would want to hypnotize her, right?

"What about the second thing?" Xue Shao asked.

"Li Xiantong is also here and in Bingzhou!" Yue Nu said, "This is the main reason why His Highness sent me to deliver a letter to Gongzi, she is worried that Li Xiantong will make a bad assassination of Gongzi here, and Bingzhou is his grandfather Li Chongyi's territory!" ”

Xue Shao suddenly suddenly, "Then it's no wonder!" If you say that Li Chongyi, who has never met before, wants to harm me, it is a bit far-fetched; However, if that haunting Li Xiantong is here, then it is only natural that they want to kill me! ”
