The wind of the summer night, with the residual warmth of the day, with the fragrance of wild grass, quietly swept over the jungle treetops.

The forest waves rose and fell, spreading to the end of the rolling mountains.

A few stars scattered in the night sky, and a full moon hung on the branches, sprinkling like mercury, smearing the mountain night in a hazy and mysterious way.

Two blue birds loomed, flying slowly in the moonlight.

"Fortunately, tonight, the moonlight is bright, otherwise it would be difficult for the bluebird to discern the direction. However, at the current rate, it may take half an hour to return to Wanqiu City. ”

Susu sat on the back of the blue bird, enjoying the comfort of the summer breeze.

Lu Zisong also felt relieved and chatted with Su Susu. “

I think it would be better if the night was darker, the bird teams of the Chiyan and Qi Sect would not be useful, and it would be even more difficult for them to discover the route of the prince's withdrawal. ”

"This jungle is full of shrubs and many forks in the road, and we have found no trace of the army along the way, so it seems that the prince and they should soon be able to return to the camp safely. ”

In order to dispel the worries in the child's heart, her conversation with Lu Zisong was also deliberately told to Xuanyuan Xing.

Yu Yue looked at Xuanyuan Xing with a side face, and continued: "Well, today, it is really an unforgettable day, not only is it our Xing'er's birthday, but also let me see the 'Ten Directions Heavenly Circle Array', and what makes me admire even more is our Xing'er's mother, she repelled the tens of thousands of troops of Chi Yan with a few thousand ordinary soldiers and saved Wanqiu......"

"Not good!"

Hearing Su Su's words, Xuanyuan Xing suddenly turned sideways and grabbed Lu Zisong's arm, terrified.

"Aunt Susu, Uncle Zisong, Daddy, Daddy, they are in danger......"

In the night sky, the two Qingdao turned around and flew faster.

About 100 miles away, another group of men and horses in the jungle came facing each other.

Tens of thousands of cavalry rushed quickly, and the torches held high in their hands illuminated large areas of the mountains red, startling the birds in the forest to scatter in all directions.

This army is the pursuit of the coalition led by Yang Minghao and Jiang Li.

"Elder, there is no trace of the Xuanyuan Army in this jungle. ”

A soldier rode a spirit beast, flew down from the treetops, stood at the front of the firelight, and gave his hand to report the military situation.

"Bastard!"

Yang Minghao strangled the spirit beast under his crotch, looked at the person who reported it coldly, and scolded angrily.

"Your Nighthawks are good at night combat, and now more than 100 people are investigating in groups, but none of them can find the traces of the Xuanyuan Army. An army of more than 100,000 people disappeared out of thin air!

Yang Minghao was furious because of the incompetence of the soldiers.

"Elder Yang, don't get angry, no matter how he hides, he will eventually return to the station to the north, as long as we go in this direction, with the current marching speed, we will be able to catch up sooner or later. ”

Jiang Li also pulled over and interjected to convince him.

"What the military advisor said is naturally reasonable, but once Xuanyuan Heng returns to the garrison and builds an offensive, then we can only return in vain, and the great opportunity will be missed. ”

"Report ......"

As the two talked, another Nighthawk spirit beast landed next to them.

"Elder, ten miles away, I found the Xuanyuan Army in the northeast direction. ”

The soldier's military report made Yang Minghao suddenly overjoyed.

"Ha, it's really as the military advisor said! Can you see clearly, how many people are there?"

"The branches and leaves in the forest are luxuriant, the dew is too heavy, it is difficult to see the specific number of people, and the subordinates are afraid of startling the grass and snakes, so they dare not approach. ”

"Then, have you seen Xuanyuan Heng?"

Jiang Li asked eagerly.

In this attack, his goal is very clear, that is, to kill Xuanyuan Heng.

"Didn't find it!"

"Don't miss the opportunity, rush over first, and kill him by surprise!"

Yang Minghao was a little impatient, and he didn't ask any more questions, and led his men and horses to march quickly to the north.

The firelight was all over the mountains and fields, winding and rushing.

"Report ......"

Within two miles of the march, another Nighthawk came to deliver the news. The army stopped again.

"Report to the elder, I found Xuanyuan in the northwest direction, less than ten miles away from here. ”

"There is also a Xuanyuan army in the northwest, could it be that Xuanyuan Heng is withdrawing in multiple ways?

Yang Minghao didn't know why, so he had to ask Jiang Li behind him.

Jiang Li stroked his beard lightly, thoughtfully, and did not rush to answer Yang Minghao's doubts, but just asked the Nighthawk Army: "Can you find out the number of enemies?"

"The specific number of generals will not dare to assert, judging by the sound of the march alone, the Xuanyuan army in the jungle should be close to a thousand people, and most of them are spirit beast cavalry. ”

The Nighthawks seemed to be sure of their answers.

"Elder Yang, we have a total of more than 60,000 troops, and it will be difficult to achieve a climate if we divide our troops to pursue. Xuanyuan Heng has always been cunning, if it is not bad, this should be the suspicious soldier he set up to prevent us from raiding. According to what we can see below, we should quickly pursue the deserting army in the northwest direction, if the military report is correct, there are really thousands of spirit beast cavalry, then it is very willing to be the main force of the Xuanyuan Hengzhong army. ”

After Jiang Li carefully analyzed, he made a final judgment, he still hoped to find the place where Xuanyuan Heng was.

Yang Minghao also felt that what Jiang Li said was reasonable, changed direction, and led the army to the northwest.

At this time, the 10,000-point firelight winding in the jungle was coming into the eyes of Xuanyuan Xing and the others.

"Brother Xing'er, tell me, why are you in a hurry to come back to Uncle Heng?"

Yu Yue, not knowing what Xuanyuan Xing was thinking, continued: "Look, the firelight below should be Chiyan's pursuers, they are still wandering around here for so long, they must not have found Uncle Heng and them, you don't need to worry." If it's too late, Aunt Eying will be even more worried! ”

Yu Yue pursed her lips with a helpless look.

"Sister Yue'er, you forgot, Aunt Su Su said that the Lanling army that attacked Wanqiu was tens of thousands, but we only arrived at Xingyue Lake with a few thousand birds, and at Luoshen Peak, we never saw Lanling's army participate in the battle. Sister Yue'er, you say, where will the tens of thousands of Lanling troops go?"

After Xuanyuan finished speaking very seriously, he once again locked his gaze to the fire in the forest.

"Could it be that they are hiding in the jungle, setting up an ambush, waiting for Uncle Heng's army!"

Yu Yue, under the reminder of Xuanyuan Xing, suddenly realized.

"Sister Yue'er is smart, and she can see through a little. I also just heard Aunt Su Su mention Wanqiu, and I suddenly thought of it. However, although the jungle is a good place to set up ambushes, such a wide jungle is not easy for them to arrange without knowing the route of the march. I just hope to find Daddy sooner so that he can be on guard!"

"Our moon is smart, Xing'er, and even more amazing. It's not that you said you wanted to come back, I really didn't expect Lanling to set up an ambush on this floor. We have to find the prince quickly, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable. ”

Lu Zisong's praise for Xuanyuan Star was beyond words.

"There are so many people in Lanling and Qi Sect, and they haven't discovered Uncle Heng's army, so it's even more difficult for us!"

She began to understand the seriousness of the matter, and she was somewhat worried.

"Uncle Zisong, you have been to the garrison of Daddy's army before, do you remember where it is? What is the terrain like there? How many roads are there leading to the camp? It's night, can Uncle Zisong still find Daddy's camp? At the current speed of the blue bird, how long will it take for us to go?"

Xing'er's heart became more and more anxious.

"Xing'er, you have a lot of crackles, which one should you ask Uncle Zisong to answer first?"

Su Su was deeply puzzled by Xuanyuanxing's question.

"Yes, what does this have to do with us looking for Uncle Heng?"

Yu Yue's face was also full of surprise.

Xuanyuan Xing seemed to have made a discovery, and a series of questions in a hurry made Yu Yue and Yu Susu, who were sitting on another blue bird, deeply inexplicable.

After hearing these questions, Lu Zisong suddenly became enlightened, and he had to admire the child next to him who had just turned ten years old.

In Lu Zisong's heart, there was a faint feeling.

In the future, Xuanyuan Star may become another god of war in the Nine Continents Heaven and Earth, and his achievements will far surpass that of his father Xuanyuan Heng.

"Let's not discuss this yet, I know what Xing'er is thinking. ”

Lu Zisong said as he motioned for everyone to look at the woods in front.

"You see, there are a few spirit beasts faintly flying against the treetops in front, presumably they are the sentinels of the coalition army, they are flying very low, and they are probably exploring the route of the retreat of the prince's army. Susu, let's fly higher so as not to cause unnecessary trouble!"

"Okay! Brother Lu. Sit tight, kids!"
