When Chu Huan woke up, he found himself lying on the carriage, the carriage was walking freely, covered with blankets, looking left and right, but found that the pair of sisters were snuggling up to each other and were also in the carriage, but both of them were already asleep.

Chu Huan sat up, gently lifted the blanket, pulled the curtains of the car, and looked out, only to find that it was quite dark outside, but he was in a hurry at night.

This pair of sisters is always sensitive, although Chu Huan's movement is very small, but the rabbit-like Blancie is still the first to wake up, open her eyes and see Chu Huan, showing joy, and hurriedly push Janice: "Janice, he's awake, look, he's awake." ”

Janice was pushed awake and saw that Chu Huan had already sat up, and she also showed joy, "Chu, you...... Are you awake? ”

Chu Huan felt that his head was still a little painful, bowed slightly, and asked, "How long have I been sleeping?" ”

"Yesterday...... Yesterday you fell off your horse and everyone was scared to death. Janice said with palpitations: "But fortunately, you are fine!" ”

"Yesterday?" Chu Huan frowned, remembering what happened yesterday, he had slept for a whole day.

Since the outing, his spirit has always been tense, he is already overtired, although his perseverance is amazing, but after all, he is also flesh and blood, yesterday Qiluo left, Chu Huan's heart was unbearable, fatigue and sadness, made his body abnormal.

His expression looked very gloomy, looking out of the car window, the moonlight was faint, but Qiluo was already far away, Chu Huan couldn't help but feel sad.

When Chu Huan stopped the carriage and came out of the carriage, the wolf baby and Sun Zikong on the side of the carriage immediately saw it, and Sun Zikong said happily: "Master, are you awake?" ”

Chu Huan nodded and asked, "Where have we been?" ”

"The camel rider said that by tomorrow morning at the latest, we will be able to reach the border area of the Jingulan Desert, Lord Xue told us to rush over early, and have a good rest during the day tomorrow, and then we will start to cross the desert."

Chu Huan saw that his Thunder Fire Qilin was on the side of the carriage, turned over and got on the horse, galloped to find Xue Huai'an, Xue Huai'an saw that Chu Huan was safe and sound, and was very happy: "Lord Chu, you are awake, I am still worried, I will be able to enter the desert tomorrow, if you can't wake up yet, this official really doesn't know what to do." ”

Chu Huan smiled lightly, the night wind blew his long hair, he looked back, his eyes were gloomy, Xue Huai'an sighed lightly: "Lord Chu, Qiluo Talange is an amazing woman, her mind makes the official admire!" ”

After all, Xue Huai'an is a man over forty years old, and he has never seen anything, in his opinion, Qiluo followed the tower to return, of course, because of Chu Huan.

At that time, the two sides were tense, and if it weren't for Qiluo's promise to follow Tadu back, Xue Huai'an believed that the two sides would definitely have a fierce battle in the Gulaqin grassland.

Whether he can defeat Tadu or not, Xue Huai'an doesn't know, but he knows that no matter whether he wins or loses, once he moves, the mission wants to leave Xiliang safely, which is undoubtedly whimsical.

Qiluo can be said to have exchanged her happiness for the peace of the mission, although her purpose may only be to protect Chu Huan, but it is undeniable that the mission has benefited a lot.

Of course, Xue Huai'an knew Chu Huan's mood at this time.

Chu Huan looked back and stared for a moment, finally retracted his gaze, took a deep breath, and asked, "My lord, will you reach the edge of the desert tomorrow?" ”

"Exactly." Xue Huai'an immediately said: "The official is going to rush overnight, and tomorrow I will rest for a day, and then in the great desert, it will take a long time, and the official is ready to let everyone accumulate some physical strength, Lord Chu, what do you think?" ”

"Your Excellency has thought it through." Chu Huan bowed.

Xue Huai smiled comfortably, suddenly thought of something, and said, "Lord Chu, that flag, we have already played it!" ”

"Oh?"

"This morning, I met a group of cavalry, it was the cavalry of Xiliang, who retreated from our Great Qin in embarrassment, and it looked ...... Hehe, it's like a big defeat, there are a lot of people, and they almost attack our mission, but fortunately, I think of the golden big sun flag that Mahazang gave us, which makes people shine out. Xue Huai'an said proudly: "Lord Chu, that flag is really useful, after they saw the flag, they didn't dare to attack easily, and sent someone to inquire, we told us that this flag was given by Mahazang, so they avoided it...... Anyway, this Mahazo did a good thing. ”

Chu Huan said: "It seems that the people of Xiliang have really retreated on all fronts. ”

Xue Huai'an said: "That's right. We also asked a few words, the Western Liang army in our Great Qin has been withdrawn in batches, it is said that most of the men and horses have left from our Great Qin now, and when we return to Great Qin, the people of Xiliang are afraid that they will have to withdraw from Xiliang. Fu Xu said: "The war is morale, it is money, food and equipment, this time the Xiliang people raised heavy troops to invade our Daqin, I heard that those money, food and equipment have been prepared for many years, this time I returned with a feather, and I want to prepare materials for invasion, I'm afraid it is not easy." ”

"Xiliang was quite peaceful in China before, and he was able to accumulate materials and equipment smoothly." Chu Huan agreed with Xue Huai'an's opinion: "Now that there is domestic turmoil, don't say that you have to accumulate materials, if this civil strife continues, the material consumption within Xiliang will be extremely huge, with their national strength, it is already very difficult to prepare to invade our Qin State again, even if Mahazang has the ability, within three or five years, it should not be possible to pose a threat to my Great Qin." ”

Xue Huai'an laughed: "Three or five years is enough." This time, the Western Liang people invaded our Great Qin, to put it bluntly, it wasn't how powerful they were, but General Feng was suddenly killed, and the Northwest Army was leaderless for a while, so they took advantage of it. After this battle, the Holy Lord will definitely reorganize the Northwest, and with the wisdom and martial arts of the Holy Lord, the Northwest Defense Line will soon be built, and the Western Liang people will only have no chance from now on. After a pause, he said softly: "But I don't know if General Yu will be left in the northwest by the saint, if General Yu can stay in the northwest, the imperial court will strongly support it, and the northwest will definitely be built into an iron wall by General Yu." ”

Chu Huan didn't speak.

Before leaving the customs, he had seen Yu Buqu, Yu Buqu's situation at that time was already very bad, and he even vomited blood in public because his subordinate Ai General Dou Bo was beheaded for violating military law.

Yu Buqu has been recuperating in Beijing, the military crisis in the northwest, he dragged his sick body to the northwest, in the face of the fragmented northwest occupation, turned the tide, stabilized the defense line, and once resisted the attack of the Xiliang people, but after all, he is a sick sixty-year-old man, riddled with miscellaneous affairs in the northwest, and he has to deal with all the military information.

Chu Huan finally saw Yu Buqu, Yu Buqu was still lying on the couch, but he kept the secret of his poor health tightly sealed, and now that almost two months have passed, he doesn't know what Yu Buqu's condition is.

No matter what the situation was, Chu Huan faintly felt that with Yu's unyielding body and age, if he wanted to continue to stay in the northwest to guard, he was afraid that he would have more than enough strength to do so.

Chu Huan was thinking that after all, the front line of Yanmen Pass would eventually send troops to garrison, and the Northwest Army would also need to be reorganized and rectified.

The four major generals, General Feng has been killed, Chi Lian Electric is sitting in the Northeast Liaodong Province, Yu Buqu is too old and in poor health, it will definitely not be successful, but I don't know if Lei Guheng will be ordered to sit in the northwest?

Xue Huai'an saw Chu Huan thoughtful and shouted, "Lord Chu, what are you thinking?" ”

Chu Huan came to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, just thinking, if Old General Yu can't stay in the northwest, who will the imperial court send to replace Old General Yu?" ”

Xue Huai'an was stunned, his eyebrows locked slightly, and he pondered for a moment before he said, "This is a problem." In fact, not everyone can afford this northwest. The people of the northwest are fierce, there are many gate valves, the original eighteen countries, the northwest can account for the three kingdoms, and the northwest soldiers are brave and good at fighting, but they are unruly, there is no real ability, that can not suppress the northwest soldiers. Fu Xu sighed: "Now that I think about it, even if General Yu stays in the northwest after the war, he may not really be able to suppress the northwest, from the gate valve to the northwest army, it is not easy to suppress, and only General Feng can suppress the scene in the northwest at the beginning, but now that General Feng is not here, I suddenly think about it, I really can't think of anyone who can take on this big responsibility." Then he laughed at himself: "We are all ordinary people, the saint is wise, and with the wisdom of the saint, we know what to do." ”

That night, the procession did not stop, all the way south, and at dawn, it really entered the desert Gobi area.

Xue Huai'an ordered the whole army to camp and rest, preparing to enter the desert in the evening.

On this day, there were several teams of men and horses coming out of the desert, all of them were the Xiliang soldiers who had withdrawn from the Qin State, they looked quite scattered, some were dozens of people, some were hundreds, when they saw the mission camp, they were all close to the camp, fortunately, the Great Sun Flag was waving in the wind, the Western Liang soldiers did not dare to act rashly, and sent people over, Chu Huan also avoided explaining, handed over the golden knife to Xuanyuan Shengcai, and asked him to arrange, there are two things, the Great Sun Flag and the Golden Knife, where did the Western Liang soldiers dare to move, although they were suspicious, but no one dared to offend the mission camp.

It was the pair of sisters who looked in a bad mood, and Chu Huan also learned from his grandson that after Qiluo left, this pair of sisters had nowhere to go, so they could only follow the mission to continue to Qin State, Chu Huan also knew that this pair of sisters could not be left behind at this time, and now, there is indeed no better way to settle it, so he can only take one step at a time, and take them back to Qin Country first.

In the evening, the team set off from the camp, the carriage could no longer sit, and the sisters could only ride on horseback, but fortunately, both of them could also ride horses, follow the team, all the way south.

Chu Huan saw that this pair of sisters had fine skin and tender flesh, and he didn't know if they could hold on to get out of the desert, thinking about what happened to this pair of sisters, it was also very pitiful, so he naturally took care of it.

The team traveled in the desert for a few days, but fortunately, they had experience when they came, and everyone was prepared, as Chu Huan expected, the pair of sisters had only been gone for two days, and they were already exhausted.

The Great Desert, all the way through, can really occasionally meet the withdrawn Xiliang soldiers, and even see the corpses of the war horses that died in the desert and even the corpses of the Xiliang soldiers several times, although there are companions buried, but the wind and sand are unstable, a gust of wind passes, and the buried corpses are sometimes revealed, only Chu Huan saw, a few days down, he saw the corpses of more than ten war horses, and also saw the corpses of five or six Xiliang soldiers.

For the Xiliang people, the retreat caused by the domestic turmoil was a heavy blow, and the Xiliang soldiers they met on the way were all exhausted and confused.

Often, some Western Liang soldiers saw the Great Sun Banner from afar, so they cheered and approached, and when they found that it was a Qin person, they were disappointed, saw the golden knife, and went away in defeat.

Fortunately, there are many elite guards warriors in the mission, and the scale of the mission is not small, some of the Western Liang soldiers saw the goods carried by the head of the mission, the camel team, and showed a greedy look, but the number was small, even if there was a bad intention, they did not dare to do it, and the number of people was large, the Great Sun Flag and the golden sword were there, who dared to act rashly, so although the mission met the Western Liang soldiers in the desert from time to time, it was unhindered to pass through the desert smoothly.
