Chapter 455: Backsliding

The army marched slowly in columns.

Huan Qi rode his horse and waited in the Chinese army array. With the foot strength of these 100,000 northern troops, a hundred miles of long road can be reached in three or four hours.

It's just that Huan Qi is cautious, and he doesn't fully trust Chang Yu.

In other words, Huan Qi does not see rabbits and eagles, and he will not use all his strength without cutting down the six thousand eagles from his horse.

"Where is the front?"

"Bolingpo! After that, twenty miles away is the gravel plateau. ”

Huan Zhong followed Huan Chi's side and said.

The two generals of the Huan clan are now following Huan Qi's side. Huan Qi did not know the military affairs, and these two generals had the leading power in this battle.

"It's not early, hurry up and pass through Bolingpo."

"Yes!"

In the darkness, two pairs of eyes were staring at the 100,000 Liang army that was passing.

"Liang Jun didn't take precautions, and Huan Qi seems to have been tricked."

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't get hit, the 100,000 Northern Army and the Eagle Yang Army, it doesn't matter who they lose, it's best to lose both. However, the old guy Tong Gu was really terrible, and when I was in Shangguan, I wanted to get close to observe the movements of the Ying Yang Army, but he shot an arrow through the arm. ”

The black shadow touched the wound on his arm, and his heart palpitated. He knew that Tong Gu's arrow only wanted to deter, not to take his life.

Tong Gu is well aware that a living example is more convincing than a corpse.

"Count your boy's fate, although the Eagle Yang Army only has 6,000 people, basically every soldier domesticates the brute beast Firethorn Eagle. They are very good at spouting, and they are also good at stealth. Tong Gu is a great master in the army, and it is too late for others to hide, so you kid dare to have such courage. ”

There was a low chuckle from the man next to him. Because they knew that Tong Gu was powerful, this time, they didn't dare to investigate nearby, for fear that the Eagle Yang Army would find out the abnormality.

"According to the time, the front army of the Liang army is about to arrive at Bolingpo, and when the battle starts, we will immediately send information to Guanzhong."

Two spies waited in the darkness of the night. It's just that they have been waiting for a long time, but there is no expected sound of battle.

"What's going on? Counting the time, the main force of the Liang army should have already arrived at Bolingpo. ”

"Could it be Huan Qi's mother-in-law, Liang Jun walking slowly?"

"Wait a minute?"

As the minutes ticked by, the two spies finally felt that something was wrong.

"Even if Huan Qi is a mother-in-law, it is time to fight at this time. Walk! ”

The two spies quickly descended the hillside, passing through the muddy mountain road, and when they arrived at Bolingpo, they saw empty horseshoe prints and ruts on the ground.

"The Eagle Raising Army is not here?"

"And where are they?"

The two spies each asked each other a question, but they all got puzzled faces. An eagle's roar in the sky alerted the two spies from their doubts.

"It's Firethorn, let's go!"

In the darkness of the night, two feathered arrows burst through the air. The two spies were drowned in the moonlit night, silently.

The palace is in the middle of the cabinet.

The faint light flickered, and Meng Qing sat on the dusty stone bricks and laid a mat.

Accompanied by the noisy sounds outside, Meng Qing's thoughts were a little confused.

Although Xia Jieshu discovered his purpose, the attitude of his subordinates towards him cannot be said to be bad. On the contrary, he still tried to take care of him as much as possible, although the conditions were simple, but he could light a candle so that he would not stare in the dark.

Something is not right.

It had been some time since the Xiliang Iron Horse arrived, and Ling Chuan's voice could be faintly heard in the remote pavilion where Meng Qing was.

If Chang Yu reached a deal with the Xia clan and the Huan clan to make a move against the generals of the Zhou army and Yang Xian tonight, then it would undoubtedly have failed.

The five cavalry troops are all from Liangzhou, and they will only be loyal to Yang Xian. Their arrival meant that Yang Xian had gained insight into the plans of Chang Yu and others.

Although Xia Jieshu is a tiger general, he can only block the palace for a while. If he can't solve Yang Xian and the generals of the Zhou army in the palace as soon as possible, he will not be able to stop the five cavalry troops and the rest of the forbidden army who know the truth.

In this way, now that the two armies of Zhichong and Changce have already entered Hojing, the Chang clan, including those related to the Chang clan, should have been put into custody.

If Chang Yu just pretended to be mixed with the Xia family and others, in order to lure these people out for Yang Xian, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop. Then now, the forbidden army outside and the people of the Chang clan should have come over a long time ago.

Anyway, it was so quiet outside, unusually quiet. Since the five cavalry troops entered the palace and cleared Xia Jieshu's henchmen, there has been no movement outside.

No matter what kind of plan Chang Yu was doing, he should be affected by it. But now this remote pavilion is uncared for, as if the whole world has forgotten about it.

With a creak, the door to the side pavilion was slowly opened. Meng Qing raised his head, and to his surprise, the person who came was an old man he didn't know.

"Who are you?"

"Lou Jing!"

"Nether Hell Master!"

Lou Jing smiled, with a bit of teasing.

"It's been a long time since I've heard anyone call me that."

Meng Qing had guessed several possibilities, but he didn't expect that the first person he would see in the end would be Lou Jing.

"Come with me!"

Lou Jing left these words, turned around, and walked out of the somewhat dull room. Meng Qing didn't ask why, because he didn't have the qualifications to ask at the moment. He understands that the best response is to follow Lou Jing.

It is very quiet on both sides of the long road outside the pavilion, and there is a team of soldiers stationed there, burly and densely haired, and when you look at your face, you are the soldiers of Liangzhou. They stood up the aisle and didn't say a word.

Lou Jing's figure is very tall, although he is old, he looks like a man in his thirties, and his strong physique is hidden under a robe, which looks very elegant.

Lou Jing came and went freely, as if the soldiers of Liangzhou didn't see him and Meng Qing. It's just that what makes Meng Qing strange is that the direction led by Lou Jing is not to go to that palace, the core of tonight's matter, but to turn around. That was the direction to leave the palace.

He's going to take me out of the palace?

Why?

Meng Qing's thoughts were quickly confirmed, and Lou Jing was indeed preparing to leave the palace with him. It's just that what puzzled him was why Lou Jing took him out of the palace.

Before arriving at the palace gate, Meng Qing glanced back at the direction of the palace where the banquet was held. Blocked by many palace walls, Meng Qing couldn't see anything clearly. But there were more and more doubts in his heart.

Who is the person who wants to meet him?

"Gui Yihou, get in the car!"

A carriage stopped in front of the palace, empty of a single person. Meng Qing didn't excuse himself and sat down, while Lou Jing became the driver of the car.

With a whip down, the carriage slowly drove away from the palace and raced down the silent streets.
