A stick of incense burned out, Qiu Chulin turned over and got on his horse, and with the eight thousand soldiers behind him, chased in the direction where Lime left.

At that time, Qiu Chulin stopped in front of a fork in the road, he only hesitated for a moment, and then immediately led his troops to chase to the east.

The road on the left is full of discarded armor from soldiers, and the road on the right looks ordinary, but a closer look at it by the moonlight reveals a lot of scattered footprints.

Throwing away her armor and scattering her marching ranks were the phenomenon of defeat and flight, and she wanted to use such tricks to spread her forces to chase deserters from the north and south. But if he guessed correctly, in the north and south directions, there would be no so-called deserters at all, and these appearances were just deliberately made by her to confuse him.

The direction she really walked was the east, which seemed to have few traces, and along this road to the east, it was the west bank of the Beiluo River, and after crossing the Beiluo River, she arrived in Shuochu.

This path seemed to be the least likely choice for her, but how could she be as shrewd as she was.

Qiu Chulin chased eastward for another hour, but he didn't see the shadow of the enemy's 10,000-strong team, and even the traces of the march became less and less.

The army was marching at a rapid pace, how could there be time to cover its whereabouts, but there was no trace of the march on the road east of the fork in the road. Qiu Chulin even doubted her own judgment, could it be that she really took the other two forks in the road?

Qiu Chulin hesitated in his heart and ordered the army to stop and rest for a while, but he dismounted, looking for clues on this road by the moonlight.

Suddenly, a white object on the side of the road caught his attention, and he approached to pick it up, and it was the veil that the woman wore during the day.

Qiu Chulin was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately confirmed his judgment, there is always a mistake in Baimi, if all her previous designs are meticulous and detailed, and there are no mistakes, then this veil is her omission, even if the traces of the march are covered on the road, but this veil will expose her after all.

The Shuochu army stationed at the foot of Muman Mountain was commanded by General Liu Ci, and the patrol was changed as usual, and there was no abnormality.

At the time of the hour, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and under the cover of the night, a group of men and horses quickly and quietly approached the camp of the Shuochu army and surrounded it tightly.

The camp was silent, and the soldiers were sleeping soundly, when suddenly someone shouted one after another, "It's on fire, come and put out the fire!" ”

During the day, General Qiu transferred most of the troops, Liu Ci was not relieved, so he did not sleep deeply, as soon as there was a sound outside the tent, Liu Ci suddenly woke up, and was about to get out of bed and go out of the camp tent, but found that there was one more person in his tent at this moment.

The man sat at the table, holding the wick of the candle with his sword, and the candlelight flickered so that he could not see the man's face clearly. He grabbed the sword at the head of the bed and asked in a cold voice, "Who?" ”

"General Liu, don't come unharmed." The man carried a sword, walked out of the shadows, and came to Liu Ci.

"Repair...... Xiu Yi Prince. Liu Ci was shocked when he saw the man clearly, and the hand holding the sword trembled slightly, but he still pretended to be calm and asked, "I don't know what happened to His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

"I have encountered a troublesome matter recently, and after thinking about it, only General Liu can solve it for this king." Xiu Yi Dao.

"Your Highness needs the help of the general, please make it clear." Although Liu Ci said this, the sword in his hand was ready to be unsheathed.

"The person trapped by you on Muman Mountain, can General Liu be accommodating." Xiu Yi Dao.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the last general is ordered to be stationed here, and he doesn't dare to be the slightest bit lazy, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, the last will be powerless." Liu Ciyi said rhetorically.

"The general who is now leading more than 100,000 troops to garrison outside Yanya City is Qiu Chulin's deputy general." Xiu Yi suddenly changed the subject, and he smiled, "General Liu, Qiu Chulin, he doesn't seem to believe you. ”

"The last general is a soldier, acting on orders from the army, that's all." Liu Cidao.

"General Liu is a loyal hot-blooded man, but it's a pity that Qiu Chulin didn't take the general's loyalty to heart. This king is a person who cherishes talents, and he can't see this kind of thing the most, so it's better for General Liu to be under the command of this king, and this king will reuse the general, how about it? "Xiu Yi Dao.

"Your Highness, Liu Ci is a Shuo Chu man, and he can't do anything treasonous, which disappoints His Highness." Liu Ci drew his sword and pointed directly at Xiuyi, quite a bit of iron-clad spirit.

"Oh? Is it? Xiu Yi sneered, "General Liu, don't forget, your letters are still well preserved in this palace, maybe one day, those letters will suddenly run to Emperor Shuochu's dragon case." General Liu, don't risk your life and the reputation of your family. ”

"Xiu Yi, you deceive people too much!" Liu Ci was annoyed and was about to draw his sword, but he heard a sudden chaos outside the tent, there was only the noisy sound of everyone fighting the fire before, and now the sound of the fighting of the blades, the screams and shouts of the soldiers, mixed together and connected.

Suddenly, someone shouted outside the tent, "General! There is an enemy attacking the camp! Xiao Shizhi also led his troops to break through and go down the mountain! ”

"I don't know the current affairs, General Liu, this king doesn't like this very much." Xiu Yi was puzzled in his heart, he hadn't given an order yet, and the Jinnan Army would naturally not move, so who would be the one who came to attack the camp at this time? "It seems that there are people who are more anxious than this king tonight, but this king does not mind adding more trouble. General Liu, go put out the fire. ”

After Xiu Yi finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of Liu Ci's camp tent, and released a signal flare into the sky, and the Jinnan army, which was ambushed outside the Shuochu army camp, immediately rushed into the Shuochu camp and joined the melee.

An hour later, Liu Ci was captured, and the Shuochu army was annihilated.

"Ling Feng, give the order to go down, clean up the camp, and order the soldiers to change into the clothes of the Shuochu army and wait for the rabbit." Xiu Yi Dao.

After the camp was cleaned up, the soldiers settled down, Xiu Yi took a freshly roasted leg of lamb and handed it to Xiao Shizhi, who was meditating by the bonfire, "Let's eat something first, I'm afraid you haven't been able to eat a full meal in the days you've been trapped." ”

"Why are you here?" Xiao Shizhi took the leg of mutton and asked in a dumb voice, reflecting the firelight, it could be seen that his haggard complexion and chapped and white lips had consumed a lot of his energy during the time he had been trapped.

"I promised her to help you." Xiu Yi leaned down and sat by the campfire with Xiao Shizhi.

"Where's the Slender Man? Last time she wrote to me saying that she lives with you, how is her body? Xiao Shizhi asked.

"Most of the poison has been resolved, but the remaining poison has not been cleared, and the body is fine." Xiu Yi replied, "Lime came two days before me, but I haven't seen her yet. ”

"She's been here two days early?" Hearing this, Xiao Shizhi frowned, and then suddenly realized, "Qiu Chulin transferred troops twice today, taking away a total of nearly 20,000 cavalry, and he has not returned yet. Now that I think about it, it must be the slender design that dispersed the forces here, but she has no news so far, I don't know what the situation is? ”

"Report!" A sentry hurried from outside the camp, "General, I caught a spy outside the camp." ”

"Bring it here." The Way of Relief.

"Yes." The sentry took the order, and soon brought back a man who was tied up strongly, and looked like he should be a guard stationed in Yanya City.

"What are the people from Yanya City doing here?" Xiu Yi asked.

"General!" As soon as the man saw Xiao Shizhi, he was excited, and he knelt on the ground regardless of being tied hands and feet, "General, great, you are finally out of trouble!" ”

"Who sent you?" Xiao Shizhi frowned slightly.

"Yes...... It's General Xiao. The man hesitated for a moment and explained, "General Xiao, he is not dead, he has come to Yanya City." ”

"What's going on? Make it clear. "Xiao Shidao," untie him. ”

"General Xie." The man said, "This morning, the ministries held a regular meeting, and General Zhao Feicheng didn't arrive, but he came...... General Xiao, everyone was surprised. But as for what the generals talked about, the subordinates did not know. The general only sent his subordinates to reconnoitre, and as soon as there was a situation, he immediately returned to his life. ”

"I see, you can go back to your life." After the man left, Xiao Shi said, "Second brother, he has already succeeded, and the defenders of Yanya City can be used by me." ”

"She asked Xiao Shiqian to rebel against the soldiers in the city, and she ran to disperse the troops, just to rescue you without fail, what your brother did is really not worry-free." Xiu Yi said, "Although your identity has been exposed, fortunately, Zhang Jian has taken care of it and has not announced it to the world." If he wants to get rid of you, he can only secretly make a trick and can't take it to the table. However, Xiao Shiqian came out so blatantly to swagger, as if you were very passive. ”

"No, it's not passive, if the second brother's resurrection from the dead reaches the capital, they will definitely use it to make a fuss. When the time comes, the dog jumps over the wall, and the initiative will be in my hands. Xiao Shizhi said with a smile, "Xian Xian's game of chess is beautiful." ”

Xiu Yi pursed his lips and said dissatisfied, "It would be better if you could make her worry a little easier." ”

It was almost dawn, and Lime dismissed the last dozens of people who followed her, and waited for Qiu Chulin alone on the bank of the Beiluo River.

The ground shook faintly, and the sound of horses' hooves was heard not far away, and the heart that Lime was carrying was finally put down, and Qiu Chulin had finally arrived.

Lime brushed the shredded hair from her sideburns in the wind, and the corners of her mouth raised an arc as she listened to the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer.

When she turned around, she was already surrounded by layers, but she was not afraid, and her tone was full of smiles, "General Qiu, the little woman has been waiting for the general here for a long time. ”

Reflecting the first rays of morning light of the sunrise, it can be seen that her eyebrows are picturesque, graceful, and the most is the smile that looks back, all kinds of charm surrounds the eyebrows, it turns out that her face under the veil is so captivating.

It was the most beautiful sunrise he had ever seen.

"Now that you are in the hands of Ben General, what other tricks do you have, just use it, Ben will follow it together." Although a beauty is beautiful, she is an enemy after all. She stood alone on the riverbank, most likely sacrificing herself to lure the enemy. Qiu Chulin looked around, but he didn't find anything unusual in the forest.

"The general is too worried." Lime chuckled, Lianbu moved lightly, and took a few steps forward, "There is no ambush this time, there is no mechanism, just me." ”

"General, there is no ambush in the forest." A soldier reconnoitred and replied.

"What about your people? Where is the ambush? Qiu Chulin obviously didn't believe what Lime said, he ordered the soldiers to stay on guard, and then turned over and dismounted and came to Lime.

"General, the soldiers have been dismissed, and my purpose has been achieved." Seeing Qiu Chulin's already wavering expression, Lime said again, "Oh, by the way, the fork in the road they took, the general should have passed by when he came." ”

Hearing Lime's words, Qiu Chulin suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, if the 10,000 personal soldiers turned back to Mu Man Mountain on the fork in the road, then Mu Man Mountain was afraid that it would be ......

"The prince has been out of trouble, but you can't go back, general." The cold wind blew the fox fur and made her face red, but her voice was not half chilled.

"You have to be a confidant, Fang Jinyue is very lucky." Qiu Chulin approached, although there was some anger in his tone, he intentionally or unintentionally blocked a little cold wind for her, "It's just that how can he be willing to put you in danger?" ”

"Since I have followed the son, I have put life and death out of the way." Lime raised her head, her ears were red from the cold wind, and her sideburns were blowing on her face with the cold wind, adding a little more wind and frost to her. She can't help but feel pity, "The son of the world is in trouble, and he is suffering from the enemy. If I can save the son of the world from some hard work and hardship by myself, then even if it is a dead state, why not break through. ”

"The belly and back are the enemy." Qiu Chulin frowned slightly, and then a smile rose on the corner of his lips, "You can see it clearly." ”

"The Suyan court sent the princess to marry during the war, during which Shuo Chu suddenly increased the army, the princess was looted by mountain bandits when she arrived in the border city, and the prince of Mu Manshan was raided by the enemy army, and then linked to the old things twelve years ago, you can find that this is not a coincidence, but a conspiracy. It is the common interest between the Suyan court and the regent of Shuochu, and the only purpose is to put the prince to death. Lime said.

"You're smart." Qiu Chulin looked at her eyes as bright as hiding stars, and exclaimed, "You are the smartest woman I have ever seen, and many men in the world are not as good as you." ”

"The general is overrated." Lime Road.

"Even if you can't trap him, but let him break your arm, it won't be a loss. The coming day is long, without you, see how capable Fang Jinyue is. Qiu Chulin said, "Do you remember the agreement before burning incense?" ”

"Naturally, I remember that before burning incense, I agreed that if I captured the general, the general would withdraw from the army and let the prince return to Yanya City for a fair duel; If the general captures me, I will abandon the son and follow the general. Lime narrowed her eyes, making it impossible to see her expression.

"Now that you have saved your son, you can be regarded as repaying the affection of the master and servant, and you have cut off your thoughts. From now on, you will be my hater of Chulin, if you have two hearts, I will not spare you. Qiu Chulin looked directly into her eyes and said word by word.

"Yes, General." Lime Road.

"In the future, just call my son." Qiu Chulin said, "I don't know your name yet." ”

"Lime." Lime replied.

Qiu Chulin looked at her, smiled slightly, and then said in a loud voice, "Set off back to Muman Mountain immediately!" ”
