Yamashita Station.

There was no one in the empty room, and there was still a slight residual temperature in the stove on the table, and it was obvious that the person had just left.

Doctor Ling Qi stood in the room, his brows furrowed, and he got the news that all the snare spies he had pre-arranged had been removed.

Ling Qi had already patted his chest in front of Chang Yu and assured that now, not only did he not catch Zhao Shuang, but what was even more troublesome was that once he was allowed to escape, he would gather troops to come, I am afraid that it would be quite troublesome.

"Quickly send spies to search the surrounding roads, and be sure to find Zhao Shuang and his hundred guards."

Ling Qi gave an order, but he heard the sound of a horn in the distance.

"What's going on?"

The soldiers hurried in and reported the enemy situation in the rear.

"Doctor Zhong, Hanyang-kun's guards attacked the baggage troops in our rear and burned all the grain and grass."

"What?"

Ling Qi couldn't believe it until he walked out of the house and saw the black smoke rising in the distance, that he realized that something had really happened. He grabbed the soldier who had given the order and questioned.

"I have two hundred baggage troops there, and I have chariots and crossbowmen to guard them, how can this be?"

"Our soldiers were no match for them at all, they fired arrows from two hundred paces, and the crossbowmen were shot one by one before they had time to respond. After they rushed in from the mountain pass, they set fire to it and left, and the chariots could not catch up. ”

In order to increase the speed of the march as soon as possible, Ling Qi let his soldiers be lightly armed, and only brought the necessary armaments and half-day rations, and the rest of the supplies were escorted by the baggage soldiers from behind.

These supplies have now been destroyed, and it will take a day for the nearest supply point to arrive.

Let the soldiers go hungry, but they will blow up the battalion.

"Search, is there any extra grain and grass in this station?"

Generally speaking, such a large post station must have a lot of supplies in store for the needs of travel. He was relieved when Ling Qi's men brought the news that the grain warehouse was full.

It seems that Zhao Shuang only has a hundred guards around him, and he has no time to destroy or transfer the grain and grass in this post station.

With these grains and grasses, Ling Qi's breath also became thicker.

Use this as a base to search for Zhao Shuang's traces. He didn't have many horses and couldn't go far. ”

"No!"

........................

Blood dripped from the blade, and the road was littered with the corpses of the Assassins.

After running wildly for a few hours, the Maxima that Changping Jun sat down couldn't stand it. Just as they were about to reach the fiefdom, a group of Assassins came out in ambush.

Looking at the thousands of horses lying in a pool of blood, Changpingjun slowly squatted down, letting the mount that had been following him for a long time blind.

"Your Majesty, we are only a few miles away from the fiefdom, but the horses have been destroyed by the assassins who have caught the net, what should we do?"

Standing in front of him was an old slave who had followed Changping Jun for many years, a native of Chu, who followed the prince of Chu from Chu to Qin, and then stayed by Changping Jun's side.

Changpingjun's hair was a little messy, stained with a lot of blood. Galloping between life and death, Changping Jun finally felt a sense of oppression, which was completely different from the feeling of deceitful in the court, as long as he relaxed gently, he would lose his life.

"It's really not an easy thing to fight against the net."

Changping-kun sat on a stone like an ordinary farmer, without any regard for etiquette.

"Your Excellency don't be discouraged, the signal has been sent, and reinforcements will arrive soon."

The old slave comforted, but Changpingjun smiled when he heard it.

"I'm afraid the reinforcements won't come."

"What do you mean?"

"Because Benjun has already secretly ordered several generals under his command to rush to the Qi Nian Palace with reinforcements."

The old slave's face changed, and he was a little confused.

"In that case, why did the king rush back?"

"There are several roads from the Qi Nian Palace to Benjun's fiefdom, and before leaving, even the guards around Benjun don't know which way I will go, why can Luo Wang arrange so many forces to intercept it here?"

"What do you mean?"

"There are traitors around Benjun."

As soon as Changping Jun's words came out, the old slave's face became a little gloomy, and his voice was lowered a little.

"Then does the king know who the traitor is?"

"Benjun remembers that I only told you about it!"

Changping Jun smiled, and the old slave slowed down, and his rickety figure suddenly stood up, and he pulled out a dagger from his waist.

"A few months ago, Benjun noticed that there was something unusual about the old slave who was following me. Although he was able to complete the task I assigned well, some details were a little wrong after all. You're a good assassin, but that's all you can do. ”

"Since the king already knows that I am a person who collects the net, why do you want to let me stay by your side?"

"Otherwise, how can Luo Wang think that he knows my movements, and thus rest assured; Otherwise, how can I avenge the old servant who has followed me for many years! ”

"I'm afraid you won't be able to take revenge!"

The Assassin of the Nets rushed forward brandishing his dagger, and at this time, no one around Changpingjun was closer to him than this assassin.

It's just that Changpingjun didn't move at all, and the assassin inexplicably stopped on the way to kill, unable to move.

The Zhu family wiped their sweat and walked out from the side, with a melancholy blue mask on their faces.

"Your Majesty, it was really dangerous just now."

"With you, the net can't hurt me."

Changping Jun's words made the Zhu family's mask change, from blue to red.

"Your Excellency is really ashamed of me when he says that. The brothers of the peasant family have already come, and Chang Wenjun's side is personally guarded by Xia Kui, so you can rest assured. ”

Changpingjun nodded, his face a little worried.

"Chang Yu's troops are much larger than I thought. This war is more troublesome than originally planned. ”

"Your Majesty, I have some doubts."

"What?"

"It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the commander of the Mo family is close to Hanyang Jun, but why is the Mo family not seen in this war? According to the king's orders, only Xia Kui and I came with dozens of elite disciples. Even if the traces are hidden, the changes of the farmers will still leave some traces on the rivers and lakes. But on the Mo family's side, there was no movement at all, which was really strange! ”

"Maybe the rumors in the rivers and lakes are wrong, and the relationship between Zhao Shuang and the Mo family is more complicated than imagined. Or perhaps, Zhao Shuang thought that this war would not need the Mo family to make a move. ”

Changping Jun stroked his long beard, and his heart was more hopeful, the answer was the former.

.................

Night falls, mountain station.

The house where Zhao Shuang used to live has been turned into a command room.

Ling Qi waited a little anxiously, and the spies sent out one by one reported to determine Zhao Shuang's whereabouts.

It's just that after a few hours, he still doesn't have an answer.

The army had already buried the pot to cook, and the fragrance wafted in, but Ling Qi had no appetite at all.

The noise in his ears made Qi a little annoyed.

"What's the noise!"

I saw a young man holding a bowl and chopsticks, walking in slowly, and found a place to sit down to eat. Beside him, there were also two girls who were not used to seeing the young man's behavior and roll his eyes.

"You... It's you! ”

Ling Qi rubbed his eyes, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Could it be that he wanted to find Zhao Shuang too much, so he hallucinated?

Ling Qi pinched his cheek, a little painful, and after a moment of stunned, he shouted with joy on his face.

"Quick... Come on! ”

It's just that as soon as he spoke, he was put down by the two girls beside Zhao Shuang.

"I'm eating, what is the noise, and is there any merit?"

The young man next to him looked at the man who wanted to kill him with a very disgusted look, which made the man feel like he wanted to die.
