The rustling of footsteps continued. [Eye-fast reading book new domain name., initials, previously registered accounts can still be used]

On the narrow and rugged mountain road, even after more than two hours of rapid marching, Li Daozong's army was still as human as a tiger and a horse as a dragon.

However, walking side by side with the forward cavalry, Li Daozong's heart was still anxious, and a pair of narrow eyes flashed with haze, this matter is too bizarre today, first of all, it is a traitor from his own insiders, and the eyes of suspicion can be gathered on the court, regardless of Tubo, Qingqiang, Tuguhun and Tuyuhun have no ability to bury nails in the Tang Mission.

Who? What is in the interest of filibuster and pro for him? Is his goal himself?

Secondly, Li Daozong also has to think about what will happen if he can't find his precious daughter princess? It is certain that he will be implicated, and the degree of implication depends on how the people behind him make trouble, and there is also the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, Emperor Taizong's heart to the east has been going on for a long time, can such a major event start another war in the western part of the empire?

In his thoughts, an image that is always cynical and grinning is the first to come to mind, but Li Daozong also excluded Li Jie first, in his heart, how can a prince who fights and drinks in Chang'an not have this ability, nor does he have the courage to catch himself off guard.

Who could it be? The eldest grandson Wuji? Chu Suiliang? Prince? King Wei? A personal name flowed in his mind, but Li Daozong always shook his head, and kissed, it seemed that the interests of them were not to such a life-and-death situation, there was no need to take such a big risk, just when Li Daozong was distressed, suddenly the horse cavalry ran back.

"Lord Qiqi, a large forest has appeared behind the mountain ahead, blocking the way of the army, and there is only one tree-lined path, and the traces of the thieves have passed through the tree-lined path."

Feng Lin Mo entered, this is a taboo for soldiers, Li Daozong, who had been suspicious for a long time, was also afraid of being ambushed, so he stroked his beard in disbelief and groaned for a while, and he asked the dusty horse cavalry.

"After the woods, where does it lead to?"

"Lord Qiyu, through the woods, not far away is the Shandan tribe of Qingqiang Yangtong, the tribe of the original Nuozhou Thorn Shi Liburi!"

As soon as Tanma finished speaking, Li Daozong's heart jumped again, Shandan tribe!

Before the Songzhou War, the Nuozhou Thorn Shi put Libuli and the Kuozhou Thorn Shi Bei Cong Wo Shi had successively raised the state to surrender to Tubo, Hou Jun Ji Niu Jinda defeated the Tubo army in one fell swoop, the two Qiang people were also purged, the Shandan tribe moved west from Nuozhou, and most of the clan elders in the tribe wanted to go west and take refuge in Zhangxiong.

But a small number of people still have their hearts set on Tibet! These people can act as an internal response!

Although the loyalty of the Qianniuwei Forbidden Army will not be betrayed in theory, since they have betrayed, why can't it be that the Tubo people have bought them? This time I was unsettled, and the old ghost of Ge Dongzan was in and out of the Tang camp, and it was not impossible to rebel against these Qianniuwei.

Could it have been the old thing's mastermind? The war of using the Tang people to kidnap the princess, coaxing the Shandan tribe to sacrifice the snow geese to the king of Zhangxiong, and dragging the Tang Dynasty into the plateau has achieved his goal!

"Pass the order! The whole army stopped and camped on the spot! If his conjecture was correct, his army had also become the main target of the attack, and the destruction of a friendly team had spread to Chang'an, and the unaware Chang'an side should be angry, this famous general of the clan can imagine.

Under the shouts of the lieutenant commander, during the intense preparations for the battle, Zuo Wuwei immediately familiarly set up a temporary camp, dug a deep trench around it, and the baggage soldiers cut branches and leaves in the woods to nail them into a fence, and the camp also used wood and leaves to build temporary simple tents.

Fortunately, before leaving the fortress, Li Daozong pretended to get the first batch of cotton armor liners of the Cotton Textile Union, but he froze to death in the cold outside the fortress, seeing that the strong camp was built little by little, and the soldiers began to roast and eat jerky, Li Daozong finally breathed a sigh of relief, stood at the door of the camp and ordered again.

"Forward battalion, follow me to the forest to investigate!"

Then the oblique sunset, more than 100 cavalry carefully led the horses on the forest path, the military crossbow they carried with them had already been put on the bowstring, constantly looking at the left and right vigilantly, being protected in the cavalry formation, Li Daozong's brows were furrowed like two big pimples.

There have long been experienced horse exploration reports, and there are two traces chasing back and forth on the ground, it seems that the two groups of people are not subordinate to each other, and Qin Huaiyang, who first reflected the camp, also brought an inexplicable woman behind him, more than a thousand meters out of the camp, and the two of them were trapped in the second group, and they didn't know life and death.

The loyalty of the Qin family Li Daozong is not worried, but a series of things that happened today made his head confused, and now Qin Huaiyang may be dead, which always makes Li Daozong's heart rise a kind of sadness, I don't know when, he has already recognized this impossible son-in-law in his heart.

However, as he lowered his head and walked, Li Daozong's eyes suddenly shrank violently, and he took two quick steps to the front, and at the same time, the horse in front of him also rushed back quickly.

"Lord Qiqi, it seems that the traces of two groups of thieves in front of me have merged into a group, and after resting, they went straight to the Shandan tribe."

"Oh?" As if he groaned for a while, Li Daozong suddenly waved his hand and ordered. "Captain Zhang, I order you to quickly lead people through the woods and directly investigate what strange actions the Shandan tribe has!"

"Whoa!" Answering loudly, a young and capable lieutenant immediately jumped on his horse and led more than forty cavalry to gallop out, after a pause, Li Daozong turned around and commanded an old lieutenant behind him. "Captain Li, I'll give you a top-secret mission, now bypass the big camp and go back to the Tubo camp to find out what is wrong with them, remember, be careful if there are any spies near our big camp!"

"Whoa!" also agreed loudly, but Captain Li hesitated and said. "But my lord, your safety?"

"Don't worry, I still have pro-soldiers by my side, there are more than a dozen of us, and the target is smaller, let's go!"

The military order was like a mountain, hesitated, Captain Li also agreed loudly, and led more than forty horsemen to gallop back, in the same place, only Li Daozong and his nine personal soldiers were left, and after waiting for a while, Li Daozong glanced at these personal soldiers who were born and died with him, bent down, raised his boots, and picked up a piece of white yarn from his feet.

The skirt on Li Xueyan's body!

Li Daozong's eyes followed the deep bushes on the side of the road.

On the far right of the woods, outside the small cave, a small bonfire was burning faintly, with a few pieces of dried meat roasted on it, and wearing the cotton coat of Fang Yiai, Gao Yang was still shivering from the cold, and said to her in a depressed urn voice.

"Gao Yang, why did you give them the inside, let's go out and get frozen?"

"Give them a space! My brother said that romance needs space to be alone, you know what? The beautiful big eyes rolled her eyes, Li Ling shouted angrily, but as soon as she finished speaking, the girl sneezed loudly, looking at her cute appearance, it suddenly made Fang Yi happy.

"It's your brother again, but His Royal Highness King Shuo is not bad, it's quite romantic for the two of us to be alone together, and His Royal Highness can really make up words."

"Romantic, you big-headed ghost, this princess has no choice but to stay with you wood!" Shrunk up again, the little quail generally leaned closer to the fire, Gao Yang once again pursed his lips disdainfully, Fang Yiai didn't care, and was just about to laugh and say something to prove that he was not wood, when suddenly he turned back nervously.

"Who?"

A tall figure in armor suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave with a gloomy face, Fang Yiai's eyes suddenly straightened, and Gao Yang, who turned around, was immediately stupid, and it took a long time to hold back a fake incomparable smile and call out with a dry smile. "Hehe, Uncle Jiangxia Wang, you, why are you here?"

Frightened all the way, seeing these two juniors, Li Daozong snorted angrily and said stiffly. "Take me to them!"

"Don't go yet!"

In Li Daozong's murderous gaze, Gao Yang and Fang Yiai's brains suddenly lit into rattles, and their scalps were numb and they led the way in front of them.

The small cave is very peculiar, presenting a gourd shape, facing the entrance, Qin Huaiyang and Li Xueyan snuggled together quietly, wearing thick cotton clothes together, facing the fire, Qin Huaiyang's young face showed a unique tranquility, quietly roasting a few pieces of dried meat.

Snuggled in his arms, Li Xueyan was also very quiet, but a pair of eyes were always biased towards Qin Huaiyang's side face, and the eyes were slowly full of indescribable feelings.

A pair of hard-working mandarin ducks did not speak, for them with an uncertain future, the time spent together, every second is precious, standing at the entrance of the cave, watching this scene for a long time, Li Daozong sighed deeply, and whispered to Gao Yang and Fang Yiai, who were making small gestures.

"Let that kid come to me, don't alarm the snow goose, I'll wait for him outside!"

Looking at the Jiangxia King who strode out of the door, Gao Yang and Fang Yiai were stupid again.

"What should I do?" Gao Yang asked stupidly.

"What else can I do, call." Fang Yiai also scratched his head with a numb back.

What the two juniors did was really secretive, Qin Huaiyang was still a little stunned when he staggered out, but when he saw Li Daozong's figure with his back to him, Qin Huaiyang suddenly trembled, knelt there on one knee with a military salute, and said nervously. "I've seen the prince."

Li Daozong didn't say anything, which made Qin Huaiyang feel apprehensive in his heart, and after a long time, he said bitterly. "Please forgive me, it is all the fault of the lowly position, and it has nothing to do with the Snow Goose County Lord, after going back, the lowly position is willing to accept any punishment."

"You don't have to come back."

Li Daozong suddenly let out a long sigh, which once again made Qin Huaiyang's heart beat wildly, but he still asked in amazement. "But, Lord Wang?"

"I am the Jiangxia King of the Tang Dynasty, but I am also a father, remember, be nice to Snow Goose, otherwise I won't be able to spare you!"

Still didn't look back, Li Daozong walked straight away, looking at his back in a daze for a while, Qin Huaiyang suddenly changed to kneeling on his knees, and kowtowed three times in the direction of Li Daozong.

"What's wrong?" Looking at Qin Huaiyang, who was a little more relaxed after coming back, Li Xueyan's heart suddenly became happy, holding her little brain, she asked curiously.

Qin Huaiyang shook his head easily, sat down again and hugged Li Xueyan in his arms, while roasting the food of the two people, while talking fascinated. "Snow goose, I remember that you once wrote a poem, I want to see the snow melt in the Tianshan Mountains, Bashu brocade crown, I'll take you there tomorrow, okay?"

"Well, wherever you go, mine and yours go." Li Xueyan nodded lightly and stroked her hair, but Qin Huaiyang's eyes showed incomparable firmness, and he said seriously.

"Whatever you want, I'll give it to you!"

The night is getting deeper, and in the swaying of the bonfire, the figures of the two people leaning against each other are constantly rippling on the wall of the black hole, and the faint warmth seems to dispel many ...... even the cold in the middle of the night.
