"Jiang Guo's army is 50,000, and our army is only 8,000 people, if it weren't for the dangerous terrain of Qiangtong Pass, I'm afraid that these 50,000 troops would have already driven straight in, and the city would be full of corpses." Brother Ruan said.

Hatsuca asked, "Didn't the imperial court send reinforcements?" ”

Brother Ruan: "Today, I am terminally ill, the court has already been in chaos, and there is even more gunsmoke between several princes, the emperor has sent 100,000 troops to come, but far water can not quench the thirst, Qiangtong Pass and Jiang Guo's army have been fighting for a long time, and the ammunition is exhausted, and the grain and grass sent by the court have not arrived for a long time, and Qiangtong Pass is in danger." ”

Qiangtong Pass has indeed reached the end of the road.

Chu Ci was worried, so he didn't notice that Brother Ruan knew so much about the situation in Qiang Tongguan at this time, and didn't ask the reason.

The top priority at the moment is to solve the problem of grain and grass in Qiangtong Pass.

The people will eat, and the soldiers will eat.

Not only to eat, but also to keep them full.

So, we want to find out where that batch of grain and grass went?

Why hasn't it arrived?

"Little sister, now that you can't enter the city gate, you may contact Xuan Yu?"

They rushed forward to let the gates of the city be opened, but the soldiers who defended the city would not open them.

If someone can prove that their identity is harmless, just take them with the disease.

Hatsuca nodded, "Yes." ”

She blew the bamboo flute, and a Hai Dongqing flew in the sky, circled a few times overhead, and flew towards them with its head down.

landed on a large stone in front of them.

Chu Ci took out a pen and paper from the baggage, tied it to Hai Dongqing's leg, touched its little head and said, "Go, be careful, don't let people catch it." ”

Ten miles away is the enemy's camp, and there must be someone watching the surroundings at all times.

Let Hai Dongqing go, Chu Ci and Brother Ruan went down the mountain and walked towards the city gate.

Chu Ci asked: "Big brother, do you know who Jiang Guo is leading the troops?" ”

Brother Ruan replied: "Gong Qing, he is the hussar general of Jiang State, this person is warlike, and he is strong in martial arts, brave and strategic. ”

"What about us?"

Brother Ruan frowned and said, "It's the sixth prince Xie Ying, he is Xie Li's younger brother." ”

Chu Ci didn't know about this relationship, so Xie Li came to Qiangtong Pass for Xie Ying?

That's it!

Xie Li was ordered to fight against the disaster, and he should have gone back when he understood the matter, but he did not return to the capital but came to Qiangtong Pass.

There must be something more important to him than going back to the capital.

In the letter before, Xie Li didn't mention it, and in these few replies letters, Xuan Yu didn't mention it either.

How Xie Li was injured, he just said that he was trying to save the six princes.

did not mention that the sixth prince was Xie Li's younger brother.

And she didn't even know how many princes their Zhou emperors had given birth to, and it was even more impossible to know the relationship between Xie Li and the six princes.

Originally, she knew that Xie Li was missing to save the six princes, so she made a note to the six princes, but now she knows the relationship between the two...... That one still has to be remembered!

They had already come to the city, Hai Dongqing's speed was very fast, and Xuan Yu's speed was even faster.

The people on the upper floor of the city shouted, "Who is downstairs?" ”

Before they could reply, Xuan Yu's figure appeared on the city tower: "Open the city gate and let them in." ”

As soon as the city gate opened, Chu Ci asked Xuan Yu about the detailed situation.

Xuan Yu said: "We have sent people to search according to the location you mentioned in your letter, but there are trees under the cliff, and there are no obvious signs in the place where the crown princess painted, so we can only take a carpet search, and the progress is very slow." ”

In fact, five days ago, after the crown prince did not save the sixth prince and fell, they estimated the location, centered on the place where the prince might fall, and began to search around.

But nothing was found.

Falling from such a high cliff, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has martial arts, and at worst, he is seriously injured.

But if you are seriously injured, how can you go far?
