Hong Xuanjiao heard wave after wave of shouts coming from the bottom of the mountain, and she was depressed, and it was difficult to calm her excited heart. Although the sound from the bottom of the mountain disappeared quickly, Hong Xuanjiao's mood was completely ruined and she was still angry. She didn't even look at the soldiers, and said angrily, "What's the matter?" ”

The soldier bowed his waist slightly, and said respectfully: "Qi Xiao Wang Niang, the Qing army under the mountain has just withdrawn!" ”

"The Qing army withdrew?"

Hong Xuanjiao, Lao Yu, Gao Chuan, and Jiang Hong all exclaimed in surprise, all surprised.

Hong Xuanjiao recovered as quickly as possible, she had an expression of disbelief, and asked suspiciously: "Are you sure the news is accurate?" Li Zhen left with the soldiers, did he really leave, or did he deliberately evacuate temporarily to lure us down the mountain? What's going on here, you can find out again. ”

The soldier didn't dare to refute Hong Xuanjiao's opinion, but said affirmatively: "Qi Xiao Wangniang, Li Zhen really withdrew." As for the reason for Li Zhen's withdrawal, the villain has no way of finding out. ”

Hong Xuanjiao's eyes rolled and ordered: "You go down the mountain again to find out the news and determine whether Li Zhen really left or left pretendically?" When you have confirmed the situation at the bottom of the mountain, you will tell me. ”

"Yes!"

The soldier sighed helplessly, and could only go down the mountain again to inquire about the news.

Hong Xuanjiao's eyes rolled slightly, and she kept thinking about the reason why Li Zhen left. She sat on a rock, her expression cold, and the shouts of the soldiers under Li Zhen's command echoed in her mind. The neat and deep roar made her unforgettable, especially the word 'lost' that kept lingering in her mind and could not be removed.

Hong Xuanjiao thought of her successive defeats to Li Zhen, and was once captured by Li Zhen and humiliated in the Jiangbei camp, and her heart was even more angry and could not be suppressed.

Gao Chuan, the guard of Dongyang Town, looked at Hong Xuanjiao, a flash of lust flashed in his eyes, and he clenched his fists and said: "Xiao Wangniang, the last general guesses that Li Zhen may be brewing a new wave of conspiracy. Li Zhen is as cunning as a fox, and he must be careful not to fall for Li Zhen's tricks. ”

Jiang Hong, the guard of Longtan Town, said: "Li Zhen must have ill intentions. ”

Lao Yu shook his head and said, "Xiao Wangniang, the last general thinks that now is a good time to go down the mountain." ”

"Oh, why?"

Hong Xuanjiao has a good sense of Lao Yu and attaches great importance to Lao Yu's opinion.

Lao Yu explained unhurriedly: "Before we were chased up the mountain by Li Zhen's soldiers, our soldiers were already routed, and they were embarrassed to fight. Under such circumstances, we could not engage Li Zhen, but Li Zhen only let his generals and soldiers wave their flags and shout, forcing us to hide in the mountains and forests, while Li Zhen himself waited at the bottom of the mountain and did not make a move. I don't think Li Zhen has the heart to exterminate us, but has other plans. Since Li Zhen doesn't intend to exterminate us, it's better to seize the opportunity to leave. ”

When Hong Xuanjiao heard this, she immediately felt that it made sense.

"Down the mountain!"

Hong Xuanjiao immediately made a decision and ordered to go down the mountain.

She directly ignored the opinions of the generals of Longtan Town and Dongyang Town, and adopted Lao Yu's opinions.

Gao Chuan, the guard of Dongyang Town, reluctantly, said worriedly: "Xiao Wangniang, if we encounter Li Zhen's ambush soldiers when we go down the mountain, won't there be a problem?" ”

No matter what the situation is at the bottom of the mountain, there is still a chance to wait for reinforcements to come by hiding in the mountain and waiting. If he went down the mountain, he was likely to be attacked by Li Zhen, Gao Chuan was reluctant, he didn't want to let himself be in danger, and would rather stay in the mountain than go south.

Hong Xuanjiao listened to Gao Shan's words, was stunned for a moment, but did not accept it, and continued: "Go down the mountain!" ”

She continued to walk forward, without even looking at Takakawa.

All the soldiers gathered together and followed Hong Xuanjiao down the mountain. When Hong Xuanjiao took the soldiers to the location of the mountainside, the soldiers who went down the mountain to inquire about the news came back. The soldier looked tired, dusty, and said quickly: "Qi Xiao Wangniang, Li Zhen led the army and left, not staying at the bottom of the mountain." ”

"Let's go down the mountain and have a look."

Hong Xuanjiao was also a little curious, and directly took all the soldiers down the mountain. When she came to the foot of the mountain, Hong Xuanjiao found that there were only traces of buried pots and rice around the road, as well as garbage thrown on the ground. Hong Xuanjiao glanced at the surrounding situation and found that Li Zhen had indeed disappeared, and said happily: "Immediately retreat and retreat to Xiashu Town." ”

At this time, Hong Xuanjiao no longer had the idea of competing with Li Zhenyi, and retreated directly. Lao Yu, Jiang Hong, and Gao Chuan also agreed with the idea of retreating immediately, and quickly retreated with their respective soldiers.

"Boom !!"

When the army was running along the trail towards the town of Shu, there was a sudden rumbling sound in front of them.

The voice was dull but powerful.

Hong Xuanjiao felt the vibration of the ground, and her face changed in fright, and she immediately stopped the soldiers from advancing. She looked up into the distance, carefully looking at who had stopped.

It didn't take long to see the other party's situation clearly.

Hong Xuanjiao swept her eyes and found that the outfit of the soldier who greeted her was from the Taiping Army. Her eyes fell on Yang Xiuqing, and she was immediately encouraged, and said happily: "Reinforcements are coming, our reinforcements are coming." Ha ha. I finally know why Li Zhen left? It turned out that the king of the east led the army to come, and Li Zhen did not dare to fight, so he took the initiative to retreat. ”

Not long after, Yang Xiuqing arrived with a soldier.

Among them, the foreign soldiers are extremely conspicuous and can easily attract people's attention. However, Hong Xuanjiao's eyes fell on Yang Xiuqing, who was surrounded by soldiers on a horse, and secretly sighed that Yang Xiuqing would really protect herself. Yang Xiuqing walked in front of Hong Xuanjiao, bowed slightly, and immediately turned her gaze to ordinary soldiers.

Yang Xiuqing inquired about the specific situation, briefly understood the content, and asked, "What about Li Zhen?" ”

Hong Xuanjiao said: "Li Zhen has just withdrawn, and he does not dare to fight with the East King. ”

After a pause, Hong Xuanjiao continued: "Li Zhen, a heinous person, should be cut with a thousand cuts. His Royal Highness the King of the East, Li Zhen has not escaped for a long time, we will pursue it immediately, and we can catch up with Li Zhen! ”

Yang Xiuqing said: "No need to chase, return to Xiashu Town immediately." ”

Hong Xuanjiao said loudly: "Now is a great time to pursue Li Zhen, you can't miss it!" In particular, Dongwang is full of troops, and he must seize this great opportunity. If you wait for Li Zhen to hide with the soldiers, it will not be easy to deal with Li Zhen. ”

Yang Xiuqing saw Hong Xuanjiao gritting her teeth, waved her sleeves, and gave Hong Xuanjiao what she said. He couldn't refuse Hong Xuanjiao, so he could only do things according to Hong Xuanjiao's arrangement.

The scout was ordered to find out the news and search for Li Zhen's location.

Li Zhen didn't leave with the soldiers for a long time, and he didn't go too far, so the news of where Li Zhen was was easily leaked. Moreover, Li Zhen deliberately leaked the news along the way, so that the other party could find out the location. Yang Xiuqing sent soldiers to search, and it was easy to find out Li Zhen's location.
