After several days of discussion, Chu Huan and his subordinates finally determined the strategy of going south, and Mei Long, the governor of Hujin Province, also came to Fallen Horse City at this time and met Chu Huan.

The timing of Mei Long's arrival was just right, after the Northwest Army defeated the Liaodong Army.

Chu Huan knew very well in his heart that Mei Long had only come to visit him for a long time, but he was afraid that he might not really want to submit to himself before this, after all, this person was also one of the meritorious veterans of the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty back then, if he had enough strength at hand, he wanted this person to be obedient easily, it was really a fool's dream, but fortunately, Hujin controlled by this person was really thin and sparsely populated, with Chu Huan in the north and Qingtian King in the south, he was really powerless to confront these two strong enemies.

The Northwest Army defeated the main force of the Liaodong cavalry in a battle, and the news naturally spread all over the world quickly.

Chu Huan used both grace and power, at the beginning, he reprimanded Mei Long, reprimanding him for being late, whether he had other different intentions, and after Mei Long repeatedly asked for guilt, Chu Huan restrained his anger, set up a banquet, and appeased Mei Long.

Going south to attack the Qingtian King of Hebei, it is necessary for Hujin to give full cooperation, Chu Huan asked Mei Long to prepare, and the Northwest Army temporarily rested, and when the logistics were sufficient, they would enter the territory of Hujin, and Mei Long naturally did not dare to say a word.

It is not easy to set a strategy, but it is even more difficult to implement it, and in all aspects of the things considered, Chu Huan has been with Pei Ji and other subordinates for several days to make overall arrangements.

Chu Huan is not a person who is in a hurry, and he did not think that he would be able to conquer Hebei in three or two months, but it is better to enter Hujin sooner rather than later, and there is no need to be too anxious about when Hebei will launch an offensive, but quickly enter Hujin to control Hujin's soldiers and horses, the sooner the better, meat in the mouth, it is better than in a bowl.

The end of the year is approaching, and the weather in the north is getting warmer day by day.

The years are long, and another year is about to pass.

After Chu Huan took control of the eastern part of Hexi, he asked people to post posts everywhere to let the displaced people return to their hometowns, but many of the displaced people also began to return one after another.

If it were changed to other forces, there might not be such a scene, and where Chu Huan had passed before, he did not rob the people, but set up strict military regulations, and became famous, knowing that his hometown was controlled by the Northwest Army, many people felt that it was much safer, and it was the fall of the horse city, but for most of the month, there were also 10,000 or 20,000 people who returned to the city.

Although Chu Huan knew that the Liaodong Army was unable to advance westward, but as the front line in the eastern part of Hexi, Chu Huan still sent people to strengthen the city defense of the Fallen Horse City, and sent thousands of troops as the defenders of the Fallen Horse City to garrison the Fallen Horse City.

Standing at the head of the fallen horse city, seeing that people were consolidating the fallen horse city, Chu Huan only hoped that the fallen horse city would no longer suffer from the disaster of swords.

"King, eight hundred miles of urgent letter!" Chu Huan was looking at Yanshan in the distance at the head of the city, when he suddenly heard the sound of running behind him, and an eager voice sounded from behind, Chu Huan and many generals who accompanied him looked back, only to see a messenger rushing over.

Someone on the side had already rushed forward, and the result was a letter presented to Chu Huan, Chu Huan glanced at the urgent letter, but saw that it was Du Fugong, and he was surprised, you need to know that now Du Fugong is in the northwest, and he has passed through the northwest money, grain, and weapons and equipment, which is the real logistics chief of the Northwest Army, and suddenly such an urgent letter was sent over, and Chu Huan was already faintly uneasy.

He opened the letter, there were two letters in it, and they swept each one after another, and their expressions immediately changed, and the generals on the side were a little surprised when they saw Chu Huan's face, and they all wanted to know what was written in the letter.

Some people vaguely see that the words on the two letters are not much, and they can be written on one letter, but they don't know why they have to be divided into two letters.

"Who sent it?" Chu Huan said sharply, "Who sent it from the northwest?" ”

The messenger looked dusty, with a haggard face, as if he had not rested for a long time, and came forward and knelt down in front of Chu Huan: "The king, the little one was ordered by the chief of Du, and he hurried continuously day and night, and two horses were killed on the way, so he was sent over." Mr. Du said that 100,000 people are in a hurry, and there can be no delay! ”

"King, is there something going on in the northwest?" Gu Liangchen followed Chu Huan's side, and when he saw Chu Huan reacting like this, he knew that things were not good, and his first thought was that there was a rebellion in the northwest.

Chu Huan hesitated for a moment, and did not hand the letter to Gu Liangchen for a look, but put it into his arms, and said in a deep voice: "It's not a big deal, General Gu, this king will go to see the general, and you will each restrain each department." Without much explanation, he hurriedly went down to the city, and it didn't take long for him to find Pei Ji in the city.

Pei Ji was in front of the map at this time, a pen was ticking in Hebei Road, and when he saw Chu Huan coming over in a hurry, he even closed the door, knowing that there must be something urgent, he put down the pen in his hand and asked, "Second brother, you!" Before he finished speaking, Chu Huan had already handed over a letter with a solemn expression, Pei Ji was a little curious, glanced at the envelope, and when he saw Du Fugong's payment, he also frowned, took out two letters, and was even more surprised, glanced at it a few times, and his expression changed greatly, and he lost his voice: "Is this true?" ”

"I know Mr. Du's handwriting, and there will be no mistake." Chu Huan's pupils were cold, and his fists clenched, "Since he personally wrote the letter, the content on the other letter should not be false." ”

Pei Ji's expression was grim: "Who would be so despicable as a means of using An Rong as a means of coercion!" ”

"No matter who it is, as long as An Rong is hurt in the slightest, I will definitely cut this person with a thousand knives." Chu Huan said coldly.

"Let my sister be unharmed, accompany me to the west. Red dragon relics, bartering. Pei Ji read it softly, "There is no payment on it, but depending on what he means, he wants you to bring something to change Anrong." ”

Chu Huan was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Big brother, An Rong was held hostage, I am his father, even if I am broken bones, I must ensure that he is safe and sound, on the side of the army, I can only hand it all over to you." ”

Pei Ji was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Second brother, do you want to think about it again?" I'm not against you trying to save Anrong, it's just! He also seemed to be in a quandary.

Chu Huan didn't expect that his beloved daughter Chu Anrong, who was in the northwest, would suddenly be in trouble and kidnapped by someone, these four simple words, of course he understood the meaning, the other party obviously knew that the red dragon relics were in his hands, so in addition to exchanging the red dragon relics for Chu Anrong's life, such a means can be said to be extremely despicable.

After Chu Huan received the letter in his mind, his mind was already spinning rapidly, guessing who had kidnapped An Rong, but after all, he couldn't determine who it was.

Since the other party can do such a despicable thing, he will not care about An Rong's life, Chu Huan is calm, but now when it comes to his own daughter, he is already very anxious.

For An Rong, he inevitably blames himself from time to time, since An Rong was born, Chu Huan has had many major military and political affairs, but he did not accompany and take care of his daughter well, and occasionally remembered that he blamed himself, and now that this major event happened, he had decided to save An Rong at all costs as soon as possible.

Whether it was the Red Dragon Relic or his own life, he didn't care.

Pei Ji wanted to speak and stopped, Chu Huan naturally knew Pei Ji's thoughts, stared at Pei Ji, and asked: "Does the eldest brother feel that now is the time to fight for domination in the world, and I have countless net worth and lives, so I shouldn't easily abandon the soldiers at such a time?" ”

Pei Ji sat down on the chair beside Chu Huan and said softly: "You are An Rong's father, if it were me, I would do whatever it took to save her." ”

"Big brother, conquering the world, for me, I was forced to embark on this road, you know very well in your heart, from the beginning, I didn't have this intention, but people are not as good as the sky, sometimes the sky leads you on this road by mistake, and in the end, when you look back, you know that you can't turn back." Chu Huan said slowly: "For another reason, I also hope that the chaos in the world can end as soon as possible, so that Anrong's generation can have a peaceful world to live and work in peace and contentment." ”

Pei Ji bowed slightly: "The purpose of our Taiping Zhengyuan is precisely for this purpose, to give the people of the world a peaceful and peaceful world." ”

"But if I can't even protect my own daughter, how can I talk about giving the world a peaceful world?" Chu Huan said: "An Rong falls into the hands of the other party, there is danger at any time, her only hope can only be me, I am her father, there is no reason to disappoint her." ”

Pei Ji thought for a moment before he said: "Second brother, if you believe me, leave this matter to me, I will bring the red dragon relics and find them!" ”

"Big brother, this matter is related to the Great Heart Sect, and only if I come forward can I save Anrong." Chu Huan said with a smile: "Big brother, you and I met in the capital, I remember when you put up flags on the streets, and I was just a small soldier of Wu Jingwei, you didn't know that I would sit in the northwest later, and I didn't know that you were from Taiping Zhengyuan, but at that time, we met late and became brothers." ”

Pei Ji sighed: "Naturally remember, how can I forget the events at that time?" No one in the world looks down on a cripple, but the second brother regards me as a brother, and it is no regret to have a brother like the second brother in this life. ”

"Even if that's the case, don't worry about it." Chu Huan said with a smile: "Is the eldest brother worried in his heart, I will deliver the Northwest Army in your hands, will I not be sure in my heart?" If the eldest brother really thinks like this, it is wrong, if the eldest brother is not trustworthy, I will not be a brother with you back then. ”

"I believe that the second brother has a lot of trust in me." Pei Ji sighed: "But this is not a trivial matter after all, such a heavy burden, I am only afraid of having a negative second brother!" ”

"With the talent of the eldest brother, looking at the world, there is no opponent." Chu Huan said: "Actually, I want to thank the eldest brother, if it weren't for you, if I left for An Rong, the Northwest Army would fall apart in a blink of an eye, but with the eldest brother here, there would be no such situation." Back then, Xuan Yuan competed for dominance in the world, whether it was the northwest or Liaodong, he gave the power to let Feng Hanxiao and Chilian Electric go to the strategy, and there was no doubt about employing people, and it was precisely because of this that these two people became famous generals in the world. I'm not Xuan Yuan, my eldest brother is not a red refining electricity, and I am not a wind chill, but my trust in my eldest brother is far greater than Xuan Yuan's trust in the two of them back then. ”

Pei Ji knew that Chu Huan had no reservations when it came to this, thought about it for a while, got up, walked over and pulled out the knife, took an empty teacup, and cut the palm of his hand, Chu Huan was taken aback, but saw Pei Ji put his palm against the teacup and let the blood drip in.

Chu Huan seemed to understand something, stepped forward, took the knife from Pei Ji's hand, also cut the palm, put the palm on the teacup, the blood of the two of them immediately dripped into the cup, and when there was a small half cup, Pei Ji picked up the teacup, drank half of it, and stared at Chu Huan: "You can go, as long as I live, the Northwest Army will definitely not be chaotic, big brother will wait for you to come back!" ”

Chu Huan didn't say much, drank the remaining blood in the cup, wiped away the blood stains on his mouth, and reached out to hold Pei Ji's hand, "I will definitely come back!" ”

In the city of Wuping Mansion, Chu Huan looked at Luo Duo and Liuli in front of him with his hands behind his back.

Rescuing his own daughter, naturally he couldn't afford to delay at all, Chu Huan handed over the Northwest Army to Pei Ji, and then made a little arrangement, and then secretly rushed to Wuping Mansion City.

After Chu Huan sent out the army, Liuli stayed in Wuping Mansion, and Luo Duo was originally in Gucheng, and followed Chu Huan back to Wuping Mansion City on the way, before seeing Liuli, Chu Huan did not reveal any news, and when the three of them met, Chu Huan took out the letter, at this time Liuli and Luo Duo were holding a letter in their hands, and then exchanged glances with each other, whether it was Luo Duo's thick eyebrows or Liuli's thin eyebrows like willow leaves, they were already crowded together at this time.

"It's not signed, but I want you to know who this letter came from." Chu Huan stared at Liuli, "Liuli, is this the work of your subordinates?" ”

Liuli didn't answer immediately, and her eyebrows, which were as thin as willow leaves, didn't stretch their eyebrows, thought about it, shook their heads, and said: "It's definitely not my people's doing, those who know the secret of the Six Dragon Relic, the Eight Divisions of the Heart Sect and the Sixteen Arhats and even the Thirty-six King Kong all know it, but the Red Dragon Relic is in your hands, and this matter is very unknown." King Shura and King Garuda have always followed me, and they don't know the whereabouts of the Red Dragon Relic, but even if they know that the Red Dragon Relic is in your hands, without my orders, they will never dare to act rashly, not to mention that King Shura is likely to have been killed in Liaodong, and King Garuda has not recovered from his injuries, and now he is also in Wuping Mansion City, and it is impossible to go to the northwest. ”

"Is it possible that someone else in the Heavenly Gate Dao did it?" Chu Huan's expression was cold.

Liuli shook his head and said: "It's even more impossible, Tianmen Dao has six ways and five gates, and I don't know what the dragon relics are, it is the prince of Lu Kingdom, and he actually doesn't know anything about the secrets of the dragon relics." ”

Chu Huan's brows furrowed, he naturally knew that up to now, Liuli had no reason to deceive herself at all, since she was definitely not the Heavenly Gate Dao or even the Heart Sect under her command, then it could only be someone else who kidnapped An Rong.

Luo Duo didn't speak, as if he was pondering, and after a while, he suddenly said: "The letter said that this person has kidnapped An Rong and traveled west, if I am not mistaken, this person should take An Rong across the Tianshan Mountains, through the great desert, and go to Lotus City." ”

Chu Huan's body shook slightly.

An Rong is now less than two years old, whether it is crossing the Tianshan Mountains or crossing the desert, even a strong man may not be able to withstand it, how can a little baby withstand it?

"You mean, the man was heading for the caves?" The beautiful glass eyes contain ice.

Luo Duo sneered: "The appearance of the Holy Light will not be more than five or six months at the latest, what can it be for going to Lotus City at this time?" Shamelessly blackmailing children and forcing the Dragon King to take the red dragon relics to the west, what is that for? In the letter, there is no payment, let alone a specific place to exchange goods for people, that is, the other party expects that the Dragon King knows his whereabouts. ”

Liuli frowned and said, "In this way, this person must know the Dragon King very well. ”

"He at least already knows that the Dragon King is very clear about the secrets of the Heart Sect." Luo Duo said in a deep voice: "I think about it, the people who kidnapped An Rong can only be three people. ”

Chu Huan had already said in a deep voice: "Who is it?" His eyes flashed with cold light, full of murderous intent.
