Qin Daochuan sat in the camp tent until dawn.

Xituo, this name hovered in Qin Daochuan's mind all night.

The Qiu Yang Sword should also be in his hand.

He's going to get both things back.

After dawn, Qin Dong sent in the day's military reports and letters.

looked at him worriedly, but didn't say anything and withdrew.

Qin Daochuan looked at the envelope in front of him and wrote: Qin Daochuan, the general of Chengxiao Cavalry, personally opened, and his wife He Shiqing wrote it himself.

There is another one below, which should be grandmother's.

Qin Daochuan looked at it, and opened his grandmother's family letter first.

The grandmother said elegant and interesting things in the letter, and also said that Ruoshu's baby was very sleepy, which was completely different from the previous time, most of them were grandchildren, and he wanted to think of a good name as soon as possible, and the name of the eldest grandson of the Qin Mansion must not be sloppy.

Qin Daochuan thought to himself that he must end his father's affairs as soon as possible, and it is best to catch up before his son is born.

After making up his mind, he decided to assassinate Man Lu the same as the previous time, the previous time he was alone, this time he only took Qin Dong and a few of them, and Xituo was most likely to take precautions, so that he could take care of it.

Seeing that he couldn't stop it, the adjutant general said: "It's a pity that the Tartars have stopped for a while, and we have no reason to send troops, otherwise we will attack the east and west, and we can help you." ”

Qin Daochuan said: "There is no need to do this, Xituo's original intention was to provoke me, induce me to send troops, and mess up military discipline." All you have to do is make the patrol larger and confuse him. The report only said that I had gone to investigate the situation of the enemy myself. ”

The lieutenant will naturally call it yes.

Qin Daochuan and his party packed up and set off, and there was already rare snow in the north, and there was freezing on the ground from time to time. Several people checked each other and found that they had almost turned into real tartars. Except some clean.

Qin Dong said, "It's okay, I've been crawling in the field for two days, and when I get to the territory of the Tartars, it's even more like." ”

Along the way, he slept in the open air, made a big circle, and dressed as a Western Xia traveling merchant gradually approached the royal court of the Tartars from the western passage.

The five of them traded in the tribes around the royal court until they came across the daughter of one of the tribal chiefs who had married Tuvar's half-brother.

The opportunity finally came, and the five of them mixed in the family sending team and entered the royal court.

During the wedding, the five of them mingled in the crowd and watched as Xituo wore a mask to practice, pray, and bless the couple. They hadn't taken a shower for nearly two months, and the five of them were already like Tartars.

Qin Daochuan had been here last time and knew the location of the priest's tent. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was drinking and having fun, and the royal court was in a commotion, he touched it in, searched inside and out, but found nothing.

I saw that there was a place at the altar where the sword or arm seemed to be empty, and I thought that this must be a place to be moved.

Returning in vain, the four of them glanced at each other with Qin Dong, and everyone looked gloomy.

In two days, the team to send off relatives will leave, and next time I look for a chance, I am afraid that it will have to wait until the ice and snow melt next year.

After a while, when he saw the end of the Xituo ceremony, he did not see him having fun with everyone, and walked alone into the distance.

Qin Daochuan quietly followed, Qin Dong immediately pretended to be a drunken person, climbed on his shoulder, and the two of them fell crookedly and walked slowly behind.

After a while, I saw Xituo get into a small tent, light the oil lamp, take off the mask, and his chin was covered with scars, which seemed to be missing, and the whole person looked very strange.

Sita sat alone on the futon.

The two people lying on their stomachs outside the tent did not see Xituo slowly get up until the voices of people faded in the distance, and after late at night, they saw Xituo slowly getting up, lying on the small couch next to him, hugging a piece of clothing on the bed, and muttering: Haasqige, Haasqige. As he spoke, he rubbed his clothes into his arms, and his body curled up, as if he had fallen asleep.

Qin Daochuan sneaked in quietly, swept it with his eyes, and found nothing.

Just as he was about to look carefully, "Looking for bones?" A voice came.

Qin Daochuan immediately turned around and stabbed, Xituo sat on the edge of the bed, looked at him with a sad smile, and at this moment he dodged and dodged.

The two of them were in the tent, you came and went, and Xituo said, "I guessed that you would come, just waiting for you to throw yourself into the net." ”

Qin Daochuan didn't speak, he just fought desperately.

After a few rounds, Xi Tuo gradually became stronger, put his hand in his mouth and was about to blow the signal, when a sword stabbed directly from outside the tent and picked his hand.

Xituo's hand suddenly burst into blood, and he forgot to blow it when it hurt.

Qin Dong rushed in from the breach and said, "General, prepare to withdraw!" ”

Qin Daochuan took advantage of this moment and stabbed it with a sword, and Xituo was able to dodge, but Qin Dong injured his right heel.

Xituo stabbed backhand, Qin Dong didn't dodge, he was born, and grabbed the blade with his hand.

Qin Daochuan got the opportunity and subdued Xituo.

Qin Dong searched around the room, only found the arm contained in the box, and did not see the Qiu Yang sword.

Ren Qin Daochuan made several cuts, but Xituo didn't say a word.

Outside, Qin Nan's signal came, and Qin Daochuan had no choice but to hold Xituo hostage out of the camp.

Someone came from afar, and when the group got on the horse, there was a sound of shouting and horses' hooves from behind, and they chased after them.

Qin Daochuan and the others ran towards the south for a while, and in a valley, they turned to the east.

Xiliao smiled, "That's the place of death, you are killing yourself." ”

Qin Daochuan ignored him and just galloped.

After several turns in the valley, the sound of horses' hooves behind was finally inaudible.

At dawn, they finally stopped.

Qin Xi threw Xituo to the ground.

Qin Nan helped Qin Dong treat his wounds.

Qin Daochuan sat on a stone, drank a sip of water, leaned against the stone wall, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Qin Bei tied the horse and went to the nearby to find grass to feed the horse.

Xituo collapsed on the ground, looked at everyone, and suddenly said: "You can't go back to Mocheng from here, and in half a day, someone will find you, and you will die." ”

Qin Daochuan opened his eyes and said, "Where is the Qiu Yang Sword, say it and let you live." ”

Sito only smiled and did not speak.

Qin Xi walked over and kicked Xi Tuo's heel.

Xituo snorted and looked at him with slanted eyes and contempt.

Qin Xi stepped on it, and the blood instantly flowed onto the sand.

Qin Daochuan asked, "Where is the Qiu Yang Sword?" ”

Xituo still didn't speak, just stared at Qin Daochuan, smiling sadly.

Qin Nan said: "What's polite, peel the skin of his palm first." ”

When Qin Xi heard this, he took out a small knife from his arms, and the knife glowed with blue light.

Xituo's pupils shrank, and his hand subconsciously touched his chin, thinking that Qin Jiajun had never lacked ruthless characters, but he still didn't speak.

Qin Nan was about to make a move, Qin Daochuan said: "Hasiqige, I have heard this name. ”

Xituo immediately turned his head to look at Qin Daochuan.

Qin Daochuan continued: "At Manlu's place, he said, Ha Siqige, you are the most lewd woman I have ever seen. ”

"You talk nonsense! You are talking nonsense! Situo shouted.

Qin Nan had a heavy hand, and blood immediately flowed from his mouth, and he also stopped his mouth.

Qin Daochuan's words still didn't stop, "I have been under Manlu's bed for a day and a night, and I have seen it for a day and a night, I have to say, your Haasqige is really one... ”

"Shut up! Shut up! Situo spat out a tooth and said incoherently.

"Manlu is like a brute, I haven't wanted to touch a woman for a long time since I went back, but your Haasqige seems to enjoy it."

"She's forced, she's not voluntary, you shut up, stop talking... Xituo said.

"Her cries are so merry that I am sick when I hear the same cries now." Qin Daochuan said.

"Besides, you should never know the whereabouts of Qiu Yang's sword." Xituo said hatefully.

Qin Daochuan said: "If you tell me the whereabouts of Qiu Yang's sword and return the favor, I will tell you where Hasiqige is buried?" ”

Xituo stared at him fiercely and said, "You are talking nonsense, you can't know where she is buried. ”

Qin Daochuan said: "After I killed Man Lu, I didn't leave immediately, but hid in the pile of bones behind the royal court, and saw someone carrying her body by with my own eyes, according to the direction they went and the time they came back, it is not difficult to judge." ”

Sito stopped talking, just stared at him, gasping for air.

Qin Daochuan did not speak anymore.

There was silence.

After a long time, Xituo opened his mouth and said, "It's good for you to tell me, and it's good to tell the truth." Even if I tell you the whereabouts of the sword, you won't be able to find it. ”

"That's my business." Qin Daochuan said.

Situo laughed miserably, "If you can bury me and Hasqiqige together, I'll tell you." ”

Qin Daochuan said: "The best punishment for a person is that life is worse than death. You tell me the whereabouts of the sword, and I tell you where she is. ”

Xituo said: "Qin Daochuan, the famous cavalry general who is famous in the prairie, I believe in you. ”

He took a breath and said, "The sword is in the hands of the king of Western Xia, I gave him the sword, I wanted him to help me get back Hasqiqige from Manlu, but you killed her." ”

Qin Daochuan said: "Actually, she can't complain about me, she is ready to scream." ”

But Situo did not answer.

Qin Daochuan took out his father's bones, looked at them carefully, touched them gently, and said: "This is my father's injury when I was 3 years old. This is the injury I suffered when I was 7 years old, and I almost injured my meridians, and since then I have been writing a lot more sloppy. And many more, what does it feel like when you peel off your skin and bones? ”

Xituo looked at him with a smile and said, "I knew you wouldn't let me go." ”

Qin Daochuan picked up a wooden stick and walked to Xituo's side, drew on the ground, and finally repeated the circle in one place, and said: "When I left, I saw that the soil here was loose, and most of it would not be wrong. ”

Situo stared at the circle on the ground without saying a word.

Qin Daochuan and his party turned over and got on their horses, and suddenly heard a muffled snort, everyone turned their heads, only to see a short arrow stuck in Xituo's chest.

Everyone looked at Qin Bei together, and Qin Bei said, "General, you don't really plan to spare his life!" ”

"A poor man, too." After Qin Daochuan finished speaking, he waved a whip, and everyone galloped towards the north.
