When he set off to go back, Miel looked anxious to return home and was in good spirits. When she came back, she was helped back, with arrow wounds and blood on her body, a lot of blood did not belong to her, but to the two companions who died with her, and the fierce woman who was considered by Liu Yu to be like Xu Caihua before failed to come back.

"Mier, Mier......" Seeing someone, Mier passed out, and Doreen went up to investigate Mier's injuries with concern, constantly calling her name.

And in this regard, Lian Husheng is returning to Liu Yu. Because of the closeness of the outer outposts of Xu Yuanfang's army, even Husheng couldn't bring people too close to the enemy camp, and because the people led by Mi Er were accidentally discovered by the outer outposts of Xu Yuanfang's army, Lian Yusheng couldn't help but startle the snake, and immediately evacuated after saving Mi Er and others.

"Got a gun?" Liu Yu asked.

Lian Husheng nodded and said: "Don't worry, the big boss didn't worry, we disposed of the corpse, and we buried it after carrying the corpse down the mountain, and it was located in the bushes and was easily unfounded." ”

Liu Yu nodded and said that he understood, originally Lian Husheng didn't want to reveal that there were imperial soldiers around him who were doing right, but Liu Yu felt that Lian Husheng had not done enough. If it were him, he would definitely pretend to hide the corpse, but he would have revealed some clues to be noticed by Xu Yuanfang's people, so that Xu Yuanfang's people would suspect that the imperial army had military operations around, and the rumors were all soldiers, which could limit Xu Yuanfang's further actions against Bai Yue. This also helped Xu Yuanfang to withdraw his troops immediately after learning of the imperial army's military action against Kang Sheng.

"Just deal with it." Liu Yu didn't force it, and said, "But we will evacuate here soon and discuss it in detail in a safe place." ”

In the middle of the night, Xu Yuanfang's people had not noticed anything unusual for the time being. Liu Yu chose to retreat. Liu Yue is for safety reasons. They were only five or six miles away from the outskirts of Notou Mountain. Xu Yuanfang's sentinels may patrol over, and Mi Er and the other three Bai Yue people are more seriously injured, Liu Yu is also thinking about their lives, only far away from Yetou Mountain, they dare to make a fire to boil water, in this year and environment, it is essential to deal with wound fire and hot water.

Because some soldiers had not yet returned from investigating the news, Liu Yu left a mark in place to indicate the direction of retreat, and then asked people to carry Mi Er and other wounded numbers to retreat. I walked for about two hours. When it was almost dawn, Liu Yu estimated that it was more than 20 miles away from Yetou Mountain, and when he reached a valley surrounded by trees, Liu Yu decided to stop. But Liu Yu didn't rush to make people angry, but asked Lian Husheng to take people to contact the Huangyue people in the rear.

"Brother, I'll go too." Hearing that Liu Yu was going to contact Huang Yueren, Dolin volunteered. Originally, she was very worried about the situation of those women and children in the clan, but as Huang Yue's "quasi-daqiu", she was vaguely uneasy when she was not around the clansmen.

"It's okay, you stay first." Liu Yudao. "Miel needs you to take care of it."

Mier was a woman after all, and she had injuries on her body. Someone needs to clean the wound and bandage it to stop the bleeding, these Qu Ning can do it, but Mi Er obviously doesn't trust Qu Ning, who is a Han, so Liu Yu has to ask Duo Lin to help.

Liu Yu asked Lian Husheng to contact the Huangyue people for another purpose, that is, to temporarily bring the medicinal materials and manpower left over there, and in this war without gunpowder, Liu Yu was also ready to temporarily use this small bush as a base camp. You can attack, you can retreat.

In the daytime, Liu Yu asked the soldiers to prepare breakfast, and finally moved a little away from the front line of the battlefield, and the soldiers could finally put down their hearts and make a fire to cook hot rice to eat. At this time, Miel was in a bad mood, because of her insistence, two of her four companions were missing in the blink of an eye, and she herself was injured and could no longer fight side by side with her own people. Miel was worried about the situation on the mountain, and at the same time felt sorry for herself and refused to eat or drink, and Doreen had no choice but to persuade her.

"Sister, it's useless for you to say too much, this girl is very stubborn." Liu Yu stepped forward, with a bit of contempt in his tone, although he couldn't understand Duo Lin's Yue family language, but he could roughly guess what it was, Liu Yu looked at Mi Erdao, who was staring at him, "Little girl, if you want to protect your people, you have to eat obediently to recuperate, I said that Dikui will withdraw his troops in three days, and this time will not be wrong." ”

Doreen said cleanly: "Yes, Mier, only when you have enough food and strength can you fight to the end with those Dikui." ”

Encouraged by Liu Yu's three-day deadline, Mier's depression was also relieved a lot, and he finally stopped suffering with his body as if he had committed suicide. After that, Doreen helped her with her wounds, which made it much easier.

Liu Yu waited for Lian Husheng to come back, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Lian Husheng's somewhat upset appearance. Originally, Liu Yu arranged for Lian Husheng to inform Huang Yue's women and children to retreat for a distance and wait for news, but he didn't expect Lian Husheng to bring people here.

"The big boss is the group of Yue women, who say that they will feel at ease next to us. He also said that it was dangerous, and he didn't care. ”

Liu Yue understood the thoughts of Huang Yue's women, they were afraid of being abandoned. In their opinion, Doreen had found a home, and her heart was no longer for them, leaving this group of men to fend for themselves in the mountains. And with them, although they may respond to sudden battles at any time, they still feel secure in their hearts.

"Huang Yue's people want to come over, let them come, this is a distance from Yetou Mountain, if we investigate in time, we can evacuate before there is a situation." Liu Yu arranged for Lian Husheng to settle the women of the Huangyue tribe, and arranged a new strategy, and then Liu Yu also went to rest. Liu Yu has not had enough sleep in the past two days, and then there are troubles entangled, and Liu Yu has to rest.

After the afternoon, it rained in the sky, and Liu Yu asked the soldiers to set up tents, but instead of sleeping for the soldiers, he gave shelter to the women and children in the valley. Liu Yu looked at the sky, he had planned to carry out the military operation at night, but he was also in advance, and the rainy day was the best time for him to act.

Liu Yu grabbed the long and short guns, greeted the soldiers, and signaled that he was about to leave. The women and children of Huang Yue, who had originally lived in the tent, were quite happy, but when they suddenly saw that these caravan people were leaving, they all came out of the tent to check the situation.

"Brother, where are you going?" Doreen hurriedly ran over in the rain and asked.

"Go to Notou Mountain, maybe come back later. Take care of Miel, and your people. Wait for me with peace of mind. Liu Yu smiled faintly.

"Doreen comes with you."

Liu Yue saw Duo Lin's resolute appearance. He smiled again and said, "Do you follow me wherever I go?" ”

"Hmm."

"Then this time you have to listen to Brother. Let you stay, just to be able to go together later. With you by his side, Brother can't concentrate on his work. ”

Liu Yu stretched out his hand to wipe the rain on Dolin's face, and suddenly felt that Xiao Nizi who insisted in the rain was very beautiful, and couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead, two red clouds instantly rose on Dolin's face, and she was even more shy.

Liu Yu touched Duo Lin's head again, picked up the gun and left the valley with Lian Husheng and other guards. Liu Yu went to Yetou Mountain this time. It is to personally investigate the situation around the mountain, and then complete some things that have not been completed even in life. It was to cause some trouble to Xu Yuanfang's army.

Liu Yu approached Yetou Mountain step by step on the leading road of Lian Husheng, and the rain became more and more increasing at dusk, and Lian Husheng pointed out some key coordinate points, which were a few points on the mountain that were easy for Tibetans to defend and difficult to attack, or could be used as a breakthrough.

Although they were only in a branch of the Yetou Mountain System, and Liu Yue didn't know how far away Bai Yue's village was, Liu Yue could guess that Bai Yue's main village was not far from their location when he saw the inspection of Xu Yuanfang's peripheral sentinels in the grass. This time, Liu Yu only brought more than a dozen people, and it was naturally difficult to go up the mountain, but it was too easy to cause some trouble.

The rain continued unabated. The sound of rain is not small. Everyone around Liu Yu is accustomed to using guns, and he can be said to be the "sharpshooter" in the new army. Liu Yu only needs to point out. Basically, where the soldiers can hit, after killing some peripheral sentinels one after another, Liu Yu originally wanted to withdraw, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not enough. He thought he should come back and ask.

So a "squad leader" of Xu Yuanfang's army, who witnessed his companions fall to death for no reason, and was trying to escape in horror, was taken down by a group of people who suddenly came out of the grass, and then he was taken prisoner and brought to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu looked at the young man who was tied up in front of him, staring at him with wide eyes and frightened, and felt that the thin skin and tender flesh did not look like a soldier, but like a little white face. Liu Yu also took a closer look, and made sure that it was a man with an Adam's apple, so he motioned for the soldiers to carry it, and the group hurriedly went down the mountain, leaving the range of Yetou Mountain before nightfall.

"Say, who is it?" When he reached a safe place, Liu Yu first had to interrogate the captives. Liu Yu didn't plan to bring the captives back to the valley, so the direction they went down the mountain was not the direction back to the base camp.

The young man was frightened, and after calming down a little, he looked at the group of strange people in front of him who seemed to have crawled out of the mud and wore straw hats on their heads, and he did not speak.

Liu Yue couldn't help frowning when he saw his observation of people.

Lian Husheng on the side said: "Is this guy scared stupid?" Still can't understand what we're saying? I knew that Lu Dao brought the old party over. ”

Lao Fang is the guide of the caravan, and the soldiers in the south can be regarded as old horses, and this operation is dangerous, so Liu Yu left Lao Fang in the base camp. Lao Fang himself is also familiar with several languages in Lingnan.

Liu Yu was a little impatient and made a slashing gesture, pulled his leg and was about to leave, and the soldier picked up his knife and prepared to go up and kill the prisoner.

"Don't, don't, I can understand you, don't kill me. I...... I'll say everything...... What do you want to know? ”

The young man spoke with a round tone, and when he heard it, it was not a southern accent, and it was evident that it had been in the north for a long time to have such a pure northern accent.

Liu Yu turned around when he heard the sound, and said with a cold smile: "Hey, if you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears, and you have to put the knife on your neck to explain honestly." Say you know the truth. ”

The young man swallowed, sat down on the ground against the tree, and said in a begging tone, "I...... My name is Xu Yuanwei, and I am the younger brother of General Xu Yuanfang, you let me go, I ...... I will exchange gold and silver and riches with you, or you will inform my brother, who will ...... He will meet your conditions. ”

Liu Yu and Lian Husheng glanced at each other, obviously a little incredible, they just thought that they had captured a small role, but who knew that Lu Dao turned out to be Xu Yuanfang's younger brother. As for whether it is true Liu Yu is not sure, but judging from the young man's conversation and fine skin and tender meat, it is indeed not like he is from the military, and it is possible that what he said is true.

Liu Yu is also well aware of the power of the twenty-five places in the south, and Xu Yuanfang is considered an old seniority in the power of the south, and he has no children under his knees, and mainly relies on his brother and several younger brothers to help him fight the world.

"You said you are General Xu's younger brother, what proof do you have?" Liu Yu asked.

Liu Yu called Xu Yuanfang General Xu, which was also to make this person uncertain about their position and origin. Originally, Xu Yuanfang was such a quiver. They are all generals and partial generals appointed by the imperial court before, or generals who are regular generals. Their positions may have been hereditary. Or it is appointed by other local leaders, of course, on official occasions, these local leaders will still think that they are generals of the imperial court, making people think that the imperial court is supporting them.

"Proof? There is no proof. Oh, look at me, the clothes inside, I'm not a soldier, I'm just here today to inspect the missing soldier yesterday. Don't you believe me? I...... I ......"

Lian Husheng saw that the situation was not right, so he turned to look at Liu Yu and asked in a low voice: "It's not small, how to deal with it?" ”

"Take it back and ask clearly, it's not small, it's better."

Liu Yuxin said that since he is Xu Yuanfang's younger brother and is still a greedy person who is afraid of death, he can get a lot of useful information out of his mouth. However, Liu Yu also knew that Lu Dao's move would be dangerous, and if this "big man" was brought back, Xu Yuanfang's subordinates would definitely be suspicious, and they might postpone the attack on Bai Yue's territory to find this second ancestor.

But this is for rescuing Bai Yue. Maybe it's a good thing.

The night is solemn, because I am not very familiar with the surrounding roads. Taking advantage of the dark night, Liu Yu and the others finally found the direction to go back, and when they returned to the valley, they exchanged signals, Liu Yu was also slightly tired, and the whole valley was dark at this time, because the sky was still raining from time to time, the fire could not be lit, and the sky did not have any light.

"The big boss." When Liu Yu came back, the soldiers guarding the valley lit torches to greet him, and then reported to Liu Yu about the situation in the valley after Liu Yu left. Because the valley is remote, except for snakes, insects, rats and ants, there is no one else to disturb it, and Liu Yu is calm after leaving.

Liu Yu originally planned to move his base camp, but at this time, he felt that it might not be stable to change places. It's better to be still than to be still.

Liu Yue entered the valley and had the captives temporarily taken for interrogation. And he had to wash the mud off his body first, and then find a warmer place to sleep.

Liu Yu asked the guards to bring his change of clothes, and he washed his body before going to the stream, put on his clothes, and came back, and the soldiers had already made a fire with tung oil. Doreen, on the other hand, watched from a short distance from the fire.

"Brother."

After searching for a long time, Duo Lin found Liu Yu, and immediately rushed over and plunged into Liu Yu's arms, like a little wife who had not seen her husband for a long time. But after seeing Qu Ning come out, she immediately restrained her actions, let go of the hand holding Liu Yu, and stood timidly to the side like a maid.

"How's the injury going on?" Liu Yu picked up the clothes that had been washed casually and roasted them on the fire. Leaning on the fire, Liu Yu also felt a little warmer.

Qu Ning said: "The injured person's injuries are fine, but the dampness has been heavy in the past two days, and I am afraid that it will be ...... There will be trouble......"

Liu Yu didn't speak, but he also understood that what he was most afraid of when he was injured was heat and dampness, and in Lingnan, these two things were all taken up at once, and the wound bleeding was small, and the wound healing after that was a big problem. After all, there are no powerful anti-inflammatory drugs these days, and ordinary decoctions are simply a symptom but not a cure.

Liu Yu said while adding firewood to the fire: "Go back early to rest, there are a lot of things to do tomorrow, and you need to take care of the injury." ”

Qu Ning said "um" and went back to his tent. And Duo Lin has been watching the actions of this "couple" on the side, she can also feel that Liu Yu and her wife seem to be very "outside", in the past two days, Liu Yu and Qu Ning have not even said a few words, and many of her intimate actions with Liu Yu fell in Qu Ning's eyes, and Qu Ning did not say anything special.

When Qu Ning left, Doreen timidly asked, "Brother, where are you sleeping?" ”

Liu Yu smiled, pointed to a tent not far from the fire and said, "There, just come to me if you have anything." You also go back to rest first. ”

Doreen nodded obediently, and then turned back to the tent prepared for the ladies on the other side of the bushes. Liu Yu went over to see the interrogation of the captives, and only after learning the specific situation did he go to his tent.

From the mouth of the captive, it was Xu Yuanfang's main army that came to besiege Baiyue Village in Yetou Mountain, which was much smaller than the number estimated by Bai Yue, only about 1,200 people, and Xu Yuanfang's men and horses were only three or four thousand, and more than 1,000 people and horses were already a large number at a time. The person responsible for leading the troops was Xu Yuanfang's eldest brother Xu Yuanli, while Xu Yuanfang's two younger brothers Xu Yuanhong and Xu Yuanwei were on the side.

Getting these basic news is already a great gain for Liu Yu, at least he knows his opponent and confidant. Liu Yu entered the half-man-high marching tent, lay on a somewhat damp sheepskin blanket and prepared to sleep, when he suddenly felt something moving on one side of the tent. Liu Yu immediately thought it was snakes, insects, rats and ants, picked up the short gun and was about to do it, and then a gap was opened on the side of the tent, and Doreen's little head got in.

One side of Liu Yu's tent was open, and the curtain was not lowered, just facing the direction of the fire, which was also where the soldiers gathered. Doreen wanted to come in and sleep with Liu Yu, but she didn't want people to know about it, so she had to come in from the side.

As soon as she entered the tent, Duo Lin immediately fell into Liu Yu's arms, enthusiastic as fire. The body was also attached to Liu Yu's body like an octopus, and his head kept drilling into Liu Yu's clothes.

"Don't do that next time." Liu Yu sat up and lowered the curtain, so that the entire tent became an enclosed space and Liu Yu's private territory.

"Brother, Doreen has understood." Duo Lin straightened up and sat on Liu Yu's lap, and said timidly with her head on her chin.

Liu Yu looked at Duo Lin, and she could also feel her trepidation in her heart, and it was precisely because Liu Yu's promise was not fulfilled that she would make such an urgent dedication. Originally, Liu Yu also understood Xiao Nizi's sincerity, but at this time, Liu Yu had just returned from the battlefield, experienced killing and long-distance travel, and his body was already very tired, and he was really not in the mood to pick such a delicate Interpretation Flower in such a dim environment.

"Doreen, Brother is really tired. Come here, Brother will hold you and have a sweet dream. Liu Yu was already ready to sleep in the sleeping bag in the tent, but at this time he had to use the sleeping bag as a pillow and reached out to hug Duolin.

Doreen said in a low voice: "Doreen knows that Brother Dao is tired, and Doreen will ......"

Duo Lin's voice became smaller and smaller, and soon she untied the placket of the collar of her shirt, along with the small clothes inside, revealing the yellow skin of half of her body under the faint light of fire, and then a pair of trembling hands untied Liu Yu's middle single, and then leaned down, and her tongue slid down Liu Yu's navel, so that Liu Yu felt the thoughtfulness and gentleness of this little interpretation flower.

At this moment, Liu Yu smiled slightly, and he couldn't help but think of Qi'er who was far away in Jiankang City. Among the women in the family, only Qi'er is so considerate, Xu Xuanzhu and the Han sisters lost their mothers and were not taught very early, so Liu Yu never forced it. Liu Yu didn't expect to be able to enjoy such warmth in such a journey full of crises and unknowns.

Poor women are in charge of the family at an early age, and many of Doreen's sisters of the same age are married, and she knows no less than married women. Her humility and reverence for Liu Yu made her try her best to please Liu Yu, in exchange for Liu Yu's love.

Outside, it was raining and humid, but inside the tent was warm and silent. (To be continued......)
