Chapter 113: Reinforcements

Wan Jinyue had a dream, in which Qian Tianhe was saying goodbye to her, and the man in white said to her softly that he was going on a long trip, so that she should not miss him, and one day, the two would meet again.

woke up in the middle of the night, and Wan Jinyue, who couldn't sleep anymore, got up.

Nervous, she changed into the black sweat coat, and her usual dagger was packed in a cloth bag and tied tightly around her waist.

Before the appointed hour arrived, Wan Jinyue was pacing back and forth in the somewhat dewy courtyard.

The straight and distant whistle sounded, and Wan Jinyue, who knew that she had reached the point, hurried to the north of Mengxi City with light skills.

Before dawn, Shu Bai, who was also dressed in black, arrived at the bank of the Mengxi River early.

The intermittent croaking of frogs was heard, and summer had arrived.

The two did not greet each other, and jumped into the river in unison, and the two who did not know how to water just hugged the dry log and rushed downstream along the river.

When the day was about to dawn, the two had not yet reached the south of the city of Xuanzhou.

"Go ashore." Wan Jinyue turned her head with difficulty and shouted to Shu Bai beside her.

There was a burst of water in his ears, and Shu Bai barely heard what Wan Jinyue said.

He drew his short sword and stuck it on the shore, "You let go of the log first, step on me directly, and jump on it with your strength." ”

Shu Bai roared in response to Wan Jinyue.

The woman hurriedly let go of the log and quickly went ashore.

She flew out of the thick rope around her waist, Shu Bai grabbed the rope with her left hand, held the short sword in her right hand, and barely borrowed her strength to get ashore.

It was already dawn, and the two men, lest they be seen by the sentries on the city wall, hurried into the dense forest beside the riverbank.

Plumes of black smoke from the campfire will attract the attention of the Southern Army.

The two of them just dressed in wet clothes and waited for the sun to rise.

Wan Jinyue leaned against the boulder, closed her eyes and meditated, a letter from Liyang Mansion a few days ago said that most of the strange diseases this time were inseparable from the national teacher.

Could it be that Shen Tan still has some exchange of interests with Nan Wei?

The girl who hadn't slept well the night before fell asleep in the warm sun.

Shu Bai was worried about another thing - Zhuji died.

Zhu Er took half an antidote, and before he went to Xiaxi, he also left the antidote that he took for seven days, and it stands to reason that he is far more likely to survive than others.

But Zhuji just disappeared into Mengxi City, leaving no trace.

The undercover agent of the academy that he finally found was gone, and he also lost a medicine man who could study addictive drugs in the academy.

The original rhythm was disrupted, and the affairs of the academy had to be investigated from the beginning.

At noon, the two of them, who were scorched hot by the sun, found some wild fruits to barely fill their stomachs, and began to walk south.

There are only more than 2,000 enemy troops left, and this Nanwei will definitely transfer the army from the north to the front.

After all, Nan Wei had already paid a lot of price in order to take down the entire state, and in this case, it was even more unlikely that they would stop there.

Qian Tianhe reported the latest situation on the front line, and rushed to Mengxi County, as the commander of the first army, he had to be on the same line with the soldiers at any time.

The scorching sun burned his back, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, Qian Tianhe rushed to Mengxi County.

The inventory proceeded quickly, but in just a quarter of an hour, the existing number of the 120,000 Xuanzhou troops was clearly presented in front of Qian Tianhe's eyes.

Less than two thousand.

But there were also militiamen in the city, about 5,000 people, recruited from the counties.

It was these more than 5,000 people, under the leadership of Shu Bai, who recovered Sumen County and stationed in Mengxi County.

Xue Qing was beside Yan Wu, and they were stepping up to make the next batch of antidotes.

Relying only on well water to detoxify has some unclear toxicity, and the surviving people of Mengxi still need to take this antidote that Yan has nothing to do.

Qian Tian and Zhang Luo were sending medicine, Zhang Luo was training the 7,000 people, and Zhang Luo was waiting for the arrival of reinforcements in Mengxi City...... But he never took that little pill.

Eat and drink normally, have a good job and rest...... After a few days of training, Qian Tianhe's body seems to have fully recovered.

Shu Bai and Wan Jinyue slept in the open for three days, and only then did a little dust appear in the south, which was the trace of the army's movements.

The 30,000 Nanwei army was not moving fast, and Shu Bai, who had been on the border for less than half a year, could see that the Nanwei army was deliberately slowing down the march.

"There's something strange about this team." Shu Bai lay on the trunk of the tree, although Wan Jinyue, who was squatting on the branch, said softly.

"Too slow?"

"It's faster than a turtle, like you're waiting for something." Shu Bai recalled the battlefield situation last year, and the queen mother of Nan Wei didn't seem to deal with the emperor.

"Perhaps, the reinforcements who came this time are not in line with Liu Xiao's heart."

Shu Bai nodded approvingly, "Go and rest for a while, no matter how slow they are, they should be around here tonight, we still have a lot of things to do at night." ”

Wan Jinyue, who was feeling a little tired, jumped off the tree, found a flat shade and began to sleep.

Shu Bai also jumped off the tree, he took out the bottles and cans wrapped in tung oil paper from his arms, and roughly made two sheets of dough without facial features for use at night.

Two hundred paces away, the fire was lit up, and the procrastinating army was temporarily stationed on the flat ground.

During the day, the rested duo were full of strength, and they crept close to the army that stretched for miles.

They were waiting for the night to be dark enough, waiting for the lone soldier to be relieved.

The chirping of cicadas and frogs are intertwined, and when the moon rises in the sky, the two finally find a suitable target.

The two soldiers who left the camp, one tall and the other thin, looked at a glance and were not much different from Shu Bai and Wan Jinyue.

"Brother Yang, my brother will rely on you to get promoted and make a fortune in the future, this little bit of heart is nothing." The two men were very close to each other, pushing something in their hands.

Shu Bai, who was hiding behind the tree, quickly attacked, and the two of them were stunned with two hand knives, and Shu Bai half-squatted and took out those utensils and quickly made a mask.

Wan Jinyue quickly took off the armor and shoes of the two and looted their belongings.

A round pill? Could it be an elixir? This thing doesn't look special, but it can be used to bribe the chief?

Wan Jinyue took the pill indiscriminately and hurriedly began to change her clothes.

The clothes were a little loose and baggy, and Wan Jinyue, who found that she was not tall enough for the little soldier, had to tear off the middle coat of the little soldier and stuff it into her boots.

After all this, the two checked each other's appearance before calmly returning to the camp.

In the temporary camp, there are no tents, and Yang Liqiang, who is disguised by Shu Bai, is a small hundred, barely has a seat to spread on the ground, and the environment is better than that of ordinary soldiers.

Wan Jinyue, who was used to sleeping in the open air, still had a good night's sleep in the mud.

Tomorrow, she will be able to enter Xuanzhou City, and if it goes well, she will be able to see Qian Tianhe tomorrow night.

It was the first time she had been so desperate to see someone.
