At this time. The soldiers dismounted. Gather in groups of three or five to drink water and eat dry food. More people were talking about the battle yesterday evening. It's noisy. But Liu Ziqiu clearly heard something strange on the side of the hill. Without even thinking about it, he rode his horse and rushed over. None of the others reacted. Only Ji Rentai followed closely.

Behind the hillside. I saw a woman holding a long sword. is against Lin Qiaoer's throat. Behind her. A little boy of five or six years old poked out half of his head. Woman combing her hair in a bun. Dressed in a pink sè narrow-sleeved shirt. Long skirt swaying to the ground. It's very slender. It's just a pretty face with no blood, but the boy is also born with clear eyebrows, but his face is full of fear.

Liu Ziqiu didn't expect that there were people hiding behind the hillside. I was also stunned. But Lin Qiaoer's life is in the hands of others. He also had to deal with it carefully. He arched his hand and said, "This girl. There's something to say. Can you put the sword down first?"

The woman saw two more men coming. I got nervous and nervous. He shouted, "You all stand back. I only borrow a horse for one use. Never hurt her."

Liu Ziqiu smiled. said: "You let the people go first. I'll give you a couple of horses. Plus a plate wrapped with dry food. You see how."

The woman hesitated, "That's true."

Liu Ziqiu reached into his arms. I found two minas of silver. He turned his head again and said, "Ji Rentai. Bring me all the horses. Give her all the water bladder and dry food."

Ji Ren Tai Yiyan. Really brought two horses over. Plus Lin Qiaoer's horse. There are three horses in total. Liu Ziqiu's green horse is the most handsome. The woman saw it. Hang your sword. Reach for the reins. Suddenly glanced at Liu Ziqiu. Moth's eyebrows frowned slightly. Said in a deep voice: "Wait. I seem to have seen you somewhere."

Listen to this woman. Liu Ziqiu also paid attention to looking up and down. I found out. If this woman is not a person with a white face. When it can be regarded as the best in the world.

Suddenly. Almost at the same time, the two exclaimed, "It's you."

The long sword that the woman had already lowered suddenly pointed at Liu Ziqiu. He shouted, "Okay, you thief. It turned out to be here. Hum. Let's see where you're running today."

This woman is none other than Fan Yuer. She once chased and killed Liu Ziqiu with a sword in Xiyuan. was stabbed from behind by Gao Xiuer. Liu Ziqiu didn't know her name and identity though. But I know that she is superb in swordsmanship. Ji Rentai is probably no match for her. I just lost my strength again.

When I was anxious. saw Lin Qiaoer open her arms and stop in front of Liu Ziqiu. He shouted, "The king is leaving."

Liu Ziqiu is willing to let a woman protect herself. was waiting to push Lin Qiao'er away with his hand. I saw Fan Yu'er's body shake." Wow" spat out a mouthful of blood. Fall to the ground.

Lin Qiao'er's shout had already alarmed the soldiers outside. Wen Hao was shocked. Turn over and get on the horse. He shouted, "Savior the Lord."

When Wen Hao led hundreds of horsemen to rush over the hillside. Fan Yu'er had already been tied up by Ji Rentai. The boy next to him shivered. I can't stop crying.

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand. said: "Wen Hao. Take her with you. Go back to the city for a retrial."

Wen Hao agreed. Bent down and lifted Fan Yu'er up. Across the saddle. Ride your horse back to the road. After this reversal. Fan Yu'er only felt that the river and the sea were turned in her chest." Wow" spat out another mouthful of blood. Wen Hao glanced at Liu Ziqiu suspiciously. Heart Dao. How can the lord not know that he pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade. actually beat a delicate beauty into a serious injury.

……

But it was said that it was in the valley where there was a fierce battle last night. The fire set by the people of Murowei has long since been extinguished. There was a rush of horses' hooves. Hundreds of cavalry rushed straight into the valley. Wake up a flock of jackdaws enjoying their free breakfast.

First, a tall and thin Han man bowed down and said, "The lord of the country, the prince. It was here last night that I fell for the trick of the surname Liu."

The white cloth wrapped around the Han man's right hand was stained with blood. It's exactly Kim Bo.

Last night. After he was let go by Liu Ziqiu. Escaped back to camp overnight. If you are familiar with the topography of the West Sea. Liu Ziqiu is far inferior to the Xianbei people who have lived here for decades. Everyone thought that the Xianbei people had escaped. But they didn't know that they had been hiding behind a jungle only a hundred and ten miles away from the Tuoba. Otherwise. How could Kimbo's men come so fast?

Although the whole army was wiped out. But Kim Bo brought back an important piece of information. Liu Ziqiu was seriously injured. And it was too late at that time. Extrapolated by common sense. Liu Ziqiu will definitely not continue to hurry. The valley itself is a suitable campsite. So Murong Fuyun and Murong Kua discussed. Decided to kill back the carbine. It's a pity that people have gone to the valley.

Murong Fuyun gritted his teeth and said, "I actually let him run away. Suo xìng catches up. Retake the city of Fuqi."

Murong Kua is getting old in the end. Hurriedly persuaded: "The lord of the country. According to the news obtained by the old minister. Xihai County Taishou was originally Yuwen Jing. This Liu Ziqiu didn't know where he came from. Why don't you spread the news to Longxi. Let them fight in the nest. The lord of the kingdom will also reap the benefits of the fisherman."

In fact. Murong Fuyun was also bluffing. Although the strength of the Xianbei people is strong. That's also relative. There are only 20,000 Xianbei young people who can be drawn out of the entire West Sea. Last night we lost three thousand in one battle. If the siege fails. He completely lost the chance to turn over.

Murong Fuyun shook his horsewhip. He said hatefully, "Withdraw."

If it weren't for Liu Ziqiu's foresight. Evacuate the valley overnight. Today is inevitably another fierce battle. Rely on the advantages of the terrain. Although it is not necessarily necessary to lose to Murong Fuyun. But it will be a big loss of strength. If that's the case. I'm afraid that the Xianbei people won't be able to recapture the land of the West Sea. He, Liu Ziqiu, is also powerless to control. On the contrary, it is cheaper for the party items.

……

At this time. Liu Ziqiu has also returned to Weiding City. When the horn is back to the city. Liu Yu and the others knew the news that Liu Ziqiu had lost his strength. I was anxious. I didn't dare to sleep all night. I saw Liu Ziqiu returning to the city. A stone in everyone's hearts has just landed. Liu Yu commanded repeatedly: "Close the city gate."

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand. Said: "No. Four doors wide open. It's business as usual."

For the positioning of Xihai County. Liu Ziqiu had already thought it through. Farming is not as good as the Central Plains. Nomadism is not as good as Mobei. The biggest advantage here is that it controls the choke point of the East-West trade route. Yang Guangxi's expedition to Tuguhun was to open up this trade route. Liu Ziqiu, who came from later generations, would not do anything to close off the country.

Everyone surrounded Liu Ziqiu and entered the mansion. Liu Yu arched his hand and asked, "Lord. Is it to sell those Xianbei people into slavery?"

Liu Yu still didn't know Liu Ziqiu's promise to those Xianbei people. Liu Ziqiu shook his head. "They are prisoners of war. Not a slave. But they can't be spared. Let them go to labor reform."

"Labor reform." Liu Yu was full of questions.

"It's just to let them do the work. Anyway, don't let them be idle."

Liu Yu took the order to leave. Zhao Ling said again: "The lord is tired from a long journey. Please also take an early break. The subordinates and others will retire."

Liu Ziqiu scolded with a smile: "Rì is on the three poles. What else do I rest. Go. Bring the woman over. I'm going to interrogate her myself."

Wen Hao said in the middle of the period: "My lord. She was badly wounded. Isn't it ......"

"Stinky boy. You don't have a crush on her." Liu Ziqiu laughed. Suddenly, he said. Feel relieved. She can't die. I have something important to ask her."

Wen Hao's rare face flushed. Don't dare to say any more. Turned around and walked out. Actually along the way. Wen Hao asked the little boy many times. Just ask him no matter what. He just won't open his mouth. I don't know if it's dumb.

After a while. Wen Hao hugged Fan Yuer in. It was indeed brought in. Because Fan Yu'er is already unconscious. Wen Hao's eyes when he looked at Liu Ziqiu were also a little strange. Liu Ziqiu ignored him. Grabbed Fan Yu'er's slender wrist. Take the pulse. "She's been hungry for too long. Hit hard......"

Wen Hao asked anxiously, "Then will she die?"

"No, it won't." Liu Ziqiu said with great certainty. She has practiced martial arts. The body is strong. It's good to recuperate slowly for a while. You go out first. I asked her a few things."

Wen Hao looked at Liu Ziqiu. looked at Fan Yu'er who was still in a coma. Stomped. Finally walked out.

Now interrogating Fan Yu'er is a bit cruel. But Liu Ziqiu knew that she was from Shanglin Xiyuan. That is, the people around Yang Guang. She's here since she's here. It is very likely to understand the process of Yang Guang's assassination. But Wen Hao, this kid, obviously moved his mind. Interrogating this woman in front of him. I'm afraid that this kid will feel uncomfortable. That's why Liu Ziqiu broke him apart.

It wasn't difficult to wake up the woman. All you need is a bowl of cold water and a few pinching of the middle of the person. Fan Yuer opened her eyes and saw Liu Ziqiu. Open your mouth to scold. But he didn't curse it. Just behind a small hill. She took the sword to control Lin Qiao'er. I've run out of stamina. Now a thrill. There was a dull pain in my chest.

"Don't move. I ask you for the words. Just whisper." Liu Ziqiu gently pressed Fan Yuer's shoulder. said." Feel relieved. No one will hurt you. That kid is also safe. But you have to be honest. What happens otherwise. I can't guarantee it."

Begin. Fan Yuer still wants to struggle. But I heard Liu Ziqiu mention the little boy. She didn't dare to resist. Nodded obediently. Whispered to answer Liu Ziqiu's question. Her voice was soft. Sometimes it's even just moving your lips. But Liu Ziqiu is not only ear power. Also knows lip language. So I can roughly understand what she means.

Until this time. Liu Ziqiu only knew that this woman was called Fan Yuer. Originally, she was the lady in charge of Yinghui Temple. Because Liu Ziqiu killed Wang Hong when he assassinated Yang Guang. Hit Ma Zhong hard. So she and Xue Ye'er were selected as Yang Guang's personal maids.

Let's be honest. In this matter. Fan Yuer especially hated Liu Ziqiu. Whether it was elected to the Imperial Palace or to the Shanglin West Garden. There were a few more women who did not want to be favored by the emperor. Fan Yuer is the lady in charge. There is a good chance of sleeping in bed. But yīn mistakenly became a female guard. Don't look at the female guards who stay by Yang Guang's side almost all the time. Even when Yang Guang pampered other women. They were also on the sidelines. But there is no fate to get wet with rain and dew. This kind of torment is a hundred times more uncomfortable than not seeing Yang Guang's face.

Where did Liu Ziqiu think that there was still this story in it. I heard that Fan Yuer turned out to be Yang Guang's personal guard. couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Then do you know how the emperor died."
