"Inquiry, what's going on with that assassin today? How can I hear the maid say that it is not dangerous that you have placed her in the house? When accompanying her mother and her two women to dinner, Zhao's mother asked.

Zhao Xun smiled: "That's a misunderstanding, she is not an assassin, she is a messenger from the south." ”

"Oh, I see, you have to be careful forever, I am just a son like you." Zhao's mother didn't care much about her son's business, but after asking, she didn't say much.

"Mother, son, are you still not at ease?"

Zhao's mother straightened Zhao Xun's clothes and said, "Are you going to go on the expedition again?" ”

"Mother, how do you know?"

Mother Zhao smiled: "Every time you go out to fight, you bring us together, how can I not know." Not only do I know, but both of them know it. ”

"Yingzhou Mansion is going to war, I want to take over Yingzhou Mansion before the Chinese New Year, so that I can gain a firm foothold in Yanzhou Mansion, no, it should be Youzhou to gain a firm foothold and no longer be afraid of anyone."

"Xun'er, I don't talk about anything, I just think about your health and health, don't do anything."

Zhao Xun took his mother's hand and said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, I will be fine, and ah, I will definitely make my mother proud of her son in the future." ”

Mother Zhao smiled and said, "Don't be proud, I just hope you will report a grandson to me as soon as possible." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Qinlian and Li Ruolan on the side blushed like blood, and Zhao Xun also said embarrassedly: "Mother, the child is still young, is it too early to have a child now." ”

Mother Zhao said angrily: "It's still early? You're eighteen years old now, and other people's families are your age, and they already have children, are you still too early? ”

In the tragic feudal era, high school students had children.

Because he was going to leave quietly at night, Zhao Xun had a good conversation with his two daughters and his mother, which was regarded as a farewell dinner. Then he explained the defense of Yanzhou Mansion, and then prepared to rush to Yanshan Fort when the moon rose.

"You're looking for me? What's the matter? Zhao Xun, who was about to leave, heard the guards say that Su Ziyan asked to see him, and he was a little unsure of what he meant.

Su Ziyan looked at Zhao Xun, who had changed into armor, his eyes lit up, and said, "Lord Zhao is going to leave Yanzhou Mansion?" ”

"What does this have to do with you? What, what does Miss Su think? ”

Su Ziyan blinked his big eyes, and said with a faint smile: "I wonder if I can go with Lord Zhao?" ”

Walking around, he looked at Su Ziyan, and said in a deep voice: "Miss Su, do you know what I am going to do?" With me? Do you think it's playing? As for your matter, I can't reply for the time being, and you don't need to say more, a word, I can't help! ”

Su Ziyan looked at Zhao Xun back and forth, and said, "Well, it looks pretty good, why don't you match my Moon Slashing Sword?" You're going to Yingzhou Mansion, how about it? Take me with you, I'm better than your subordinates. ”

Su Ziyan's words made the faces of several guards turn red, and they wanted to refute but couldn't speak, because they were indeed not this woman's opponents.

Zhao Xun was stunned, stared at Su Ziyan, and said coldly: "How do you know that I am going to Yingzhou Mansion?" Who sued you? ”

Su Ziyan smiled: "No one sued me, I can see it myself." Each of your men is fully equipped and has all the dry food they carry, and it seems that they are preparing for a long journey, but at such times, only the war in the south and north can keep the commander of the Fire Lin Army on the road overnight. It is unlikely that the north, there is only the south, and now there will be the most war with Yanzhou Mansion, that is, Yingzhou Mansion, Weizhou Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion are not directly bordered, and they have to worry about the situation of the county government army in the south. So, what you go to can only be related to Yingzhou Capital, how about it? Am I right? ”

Zhao Xun raised his eyebrows slightly, and said after a long time: "I found that you are more suitable to be a spy, of course, it is also suitable to be a thief or a thief." ”

Su Ziyan smiled happily and said happily: "I'll just praise me as you, how about it?" Agree with me to go along? I would like to see what is the strength of your Huolin Army, which actually made the Yan Yan Army defeated. ”

Zhao Xun looked at Su Ziyan and said slowly: "It's okay to go with us, but you must listen to us, and you are not allowed to summon the interrogation privately, otherwise it will ......."

Su Ziyan hurriedly shook his jade hand and said, "I know, I understand this, I just went to see the difference between the Huolin Army and other armies, and I will never do anything that should not be done." ”

Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "I hope you will do what you say, if something happens, don't blame me for being unpredictable." Originally, Zhao Xun didn't plan to take him with him, but Su Ziyan was really shrewd, and Zhao Xun didn't want to leave him here, especially since he had noticed his whereabouts.

The silver moon rose high, covering the land in early winter with a layer of white veil, and Zhao Xun ran out of Yanzhou City overnight with the guard battalion and rushed to Yanshan Fort.

Le'an County.

Yun Ru has been very annoyed and impatient in the past two days, and he is almost crazy.

Since General Lei Du chased after the Yan army that snatched the war horse in Xinyan Town two days ago, it has never returned. The 1,000 cavalry led by Batu went to the Yan army in Liangzhen, but they were also gone. Two whole days passed, and no news came back from them, and neither did the scouts they had sent out.

Yun Ru was a little scared, and he even wondered if the three thousand cavalry and the two generals had been poisoned by the Yan army. But the Yan army of Yingzhou Mansion is under the pursuit of the Yan warriors, and there are not many people left, how can it be? This is also the reason why Yun Ru has a glimmer of hope. Of course, he didn't want anything to happen.

What is even more worrying is that in Le'an County, the 10 and 100 commanders of several patrol posts were assassinated in the corner. What's more, several generals at the rank of junior colonel were also assassinated in their houses, which immediately moved the non-commissioned soldiers in Le'an County.

For this reason, several generals in Le'an County got together and began to discuss the dilemma in front of them.

"General Xiao, what did General Hai say over there?"

Xiao Wen said in a deep voice: "The information from General Hai said that there were signs of military activity around Majiazhuang, and he didn't dare to leave lightly, and the scouts sent out at the same time did not go back, and it was estimated that they were killed by the Yan army." We have not received any information from him since yesterday afternoon, and I estimate that our contact with General Hai has been severed. ”

Adjutant General Jun Ping frowned and said, "What does General Xiao mean, someone intercepted and killed our messenger?" No, every time a message is delivered, several people set off at the same time, from different routes. ”

Xiao Wen said hatefully: "What's that?" Don't you see, yesterday and today, how many of our soldiers died? All were officers of ten or more officers. Even some places in the barracks can be touched, so what is a mere messenger? ”

Yun Ru slammed the table and said angrily: "What's the matter, why is the Yan army suddenly so powerful, snatching our four thousand war horses with one face?" MD, General Leidu and General Batu have not been traced until now. ”

Jun Ping said cautiously: "You say, will General Lei Du and General Batu ......?"

"Shut up! Could it be anything? That's what you're supposed to say? Aren't you afraid that General Lei Du will come back to settle accounts with you? Yun Ru scolded.

Although Yun Ru stopped Jun Ping's words, the other five people all knew in their hearts, and even they were speculating whether there would really be an accident.

Xiao Wendao: "General Yun Ru, should we report to General Lei Yan?" ”

Yun Ru smiled bitterly: "Briefing? What to inform? Inform us that we have lost their 8,000 horses and have not found them yet? Inform that Lei Du and General Batu cannot be contacted now? Or do you report that the non-commissioned officers in Le'an County have been repeatedly assassinated, and we have no choice but to go? ”

Xiao Wen frowned and said, "But we can't sit and wait like this!" The two generals have no trace of them until now, and the horses and rangers sent out are gone forever. I really doubt that the Yan army of the big branch has been killed outside Le'an County. In addition, in the county town, our non-commissioned officers and officers have been repeatedly attacked and killed, and if this continues, it will be a heavy blow to our morale. ”

Jun Ping said: "It's better not to inform General Lei Yan for the time being, after all, we can't confirm the whereabouts of Lei Du and Badu, who knows if they can find the war horse?" Besides, there are seven or eight days before the Yanshan Fort camp sends people to transport grain, and if there is no news at that time, it will not be too late to report it, what do you think? ”

Yun Ru thought about it and said bitterly: "That's it!" By the way, let the servant army strengthen the patrol, and if anything is wrong, report it immediately, and we will give a heavy reward. ”

Watching the generals return to the camp one by one, Yun Ru felt uneasy for a while, Le'an County, where the 6,000 Jin army was defending, now there were only more than 1,800 people, even if you added about 1,500 servant troops, it was only 3,000 people. Could it really be that the Yan army called? It's impossible, there is no bad news from the south, and the Yanshan Fort camp in the north will also base the Huolin army in the north, so there shouldn't be an army of Yan to attack? What's going on?
