Xiao Mohan took Qian Qianqian to the place where the army agreed to gather, and when they went, the deputy staff was sending the second team to follow the gang of thieves according to the clues left by the first team.

No one questioned the whole process, and the deputy had already given all the instructions to the army by just gestures.

Qian Qianqian admired it in her heart, and couldn't help but bow her hand at that person, but the feedback he gave himself was not normal, although his eyes only swept over her, it made her very uncomfortable.

As a result, the more I walked towards the place where the army had gathered, the more I had a gaze similar to that of the soldier.

Why is that?

Qian Qianqian observed herself incomprehensibly, and finally found the reason for Xiao Mohan's actions towards herself, he was spreading his arms and placing them not far from her shoulders to protect them.

"That." Qian Qianqian said, "I'm very grateful that you can remember the difference between men and women, but the general's action is not suitable for two men, how about it?" ”

Xiao Mohan was like no one around, and he was the only one, "General Ben is sitting upright, could it be that you have other ideas?" ”

He didn't lower his voice, everyone present could hear it clearly, Qian Qianqian rolled her eyes in her heart, and it was not easy to do it directly with him on her face, so she had to bury her head.

However, after Xiao Mohan said this, those eyes that were like thorns in his back immediately dissipated.

The two of them finally entered a cave in the mountains, the kind that was ventilated on both sides, and one of them thought that the ground was covered with a felt curtain that only yurts on the grassland had, which barely had the effect of protecting against the wind.

There was only a simple bed and an oil lamp in the cave, and there were no extra items.

"Actually, we can go back, if you are worried that the thieves will find out, you can go to the island last time, there is no need to spend it in this place." Qian Qianqian looked at the not too big bed, thinking that it might not have a chance with her tonight, after all, the person who lived in the same room was never a master who could pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.

"Do you know why they chose this place to imprison you and bring me here?" Xiao Mohan had already crossed his knees to occupy the bed position, Qian Qianqian could only pull aside for this, leaning against the wall to rest, "Why?" ”

Xiao Mohan casually picked up a branch and drew a map of mountains on the ground, "There are natural dangerous places on all sides of this place as barriers, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. But if it is unguarded, it is easy to get in, but it is difficult to get out. He circled several hills, "These are the mountain roads that can be entered, but as long as you guard these places, the rest of the places are all dangerous places that cannot be crossed." The sentinel who just reported has already figured out that the defense line on the periphery of the thief is in these places, and I can't enter the other party's trap so early if I want to lure the snake out of the hole, otherwise I can't get out of the danger with my whole body, wouldn't I have failed my deceased brother? ”

Qian Qianqian nodded as if she didn't understand, "Although I can't understand this picture, but I understand what you said, do you hope that they can't find anyone inside and outside to mess up their own mess, and they have to ask for help outside, so that they can find their lair in Xiao Country at that time?" ”

The corners of Xiao Mohan's mouth raised, and he looked at Qian Qianqian's eyes with a bit of appreciation, "Not only that, but I also want to know how they unknowingly connected with each other on the territory of my Xiao Kingdom, and how they spread the news to the Xiongnu." ”

"You want to make a fuss out of this?" If this is just to destroy the nest, it would be too wasteful to figure out their information network.

Xiao Mohan was stunned, "The Huns can always find flaws in the formation every time they fight with our generation, as if they knew it in advance, I guess there are also their spies in the army, if they can't uproot the tumor, it will be difficult to prevent future troubles." ”

"In the army?" Qian Qianqian looked nervously out of the cave, there was not a large group of officials and troops outside.

"They were all carefully selected by me, and they have followed me since I was a child, no." Xiao Mohan, who has always been suspicious, was extremely sure at the moment, but it made Qian Qianqian puzzled, she leaned over and said her doubts unabashedly, "General, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, even people who have grown up together since childhood may not be consistent, and it is likely that they have changed without your knowledge." ”

Xiao Mohan's face sank, "Haven't you always been the most reluctant to think about people's hearts in terms of malice?" But how can I doubt my brother who was born and died? ”

Qian Qianqian was stunned in place, and she couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while, let alone any empirical evidence, and it wasn't that she thought about anything, but as a person who came over, she had seen too much deception in history, especially on the battlefield and officialdom.

Xiao Mohan should know this better than her, what?

Maybe they have experienced too much life and death between them.

Those experiences are not to be tarnished, and they are not to be dismissed.

Qian Qianqian pouted, "It's my gaffe, the little woman has no knowledge, and she is very sorry for her life, she is naturally willing to think about everyone on weekdays, if it is a major event of life and death, it will become 'indispensable to defend against people'." ”

Xiao Mohan looked at her for a long time, and finally accepted her hard and hard argument and did not pursue it, "According to the temperament of the Huns, it is estimated that they will toss until dawn, and they can only make up for one night again tonight." ”

Qian Qianqian was not surprised when she heard this, she guessed it from the moment she came in and saw the bed, but ......

"This cave is damp, the general should be careful, don't go out of that range and hurt your body." She said this on purpose, just to see how Xiao Mohan reacted, but the other party followed her words and said happily: "I accepted your worries about General Ben, just one night, it's okay." After speaking, he lay on his side on the bed, turned his back, and refused to continue to communicate with Qian Qianqian.

Is it okay? It doesn't matter if you sleep on the felt cloth that drains the water, but poor me can only be accompanied by these damp and wet moss.

Qian Qianqian slandered in her heart, punched and kicked the back, but didn't say anything more, buried her head on the ground and searched for a relatively dry place.

After a while, a clearing by the felt curtain came into her field of vision, because it was ventilated on both sides and facing south. It was probably the only place in the entire cave where sunlight could shine, and even a small blue flower had bloomed.

Wasn't that exactly what she wanted? There is really no endless road.

Qian Qianqian walked over with emotion, used the corner of her clothes to suck off some moisture from other places, folded her coat and cushioned it, and then curled up her body, her head resting on the wall of the cave, because of the dampness, the soil here is softer than other places.

As soon as she was touched by the softness, the tiredness came flooding her, and not long after closing her eyes, she went to the private meeting of Zhou Gong.

In the early morning, the wind with the warm sun was set on Qian Qianqian's face through the felt curtain, and it only took a few shakes to wake her up.

She raised her hand to block the light, but found that she had slept on the bed at some point, and Xiao Mohan was not seen in the entire cave, she sat up suddenly, rushed to the door of the cave, and immediately a small group rushed out to stop her, "Young Master Qian, the general has ordered, you can't move around at will." ”

"What is he going to do?" Qian Qianqian's mind was racing rapidly, thinking about the plans that Xiao Mohan told him last night, and when she saw the map reflexively, an idea quickly flew through her mind, "Is he trying to be surprised?" ”

Naturally, the little girl would not answer her, nor would she let her go easily, Qian Qianqian tried various methods, but the soft and hard ones had no effect, and in the end she could only be forced to return to the cave.

It's right to think about it, how could someone like Xiao Mohan suddenly discuss the plan with her, didn't he always know in his heart that he would do his own thing?

Qian Qianqian looked at the place where he repeatedly drew a circle at the end, and estimated that it was a breach, and it was also the place where he went to raid, in fact, it was right to think about it, after all, being in the territory of Xiao State, wouldn't it be more direct to wipe out those spies than to use them to make trouble?

If there are variables in the process, it is difficult to control.

He followed her instructions, probably to reassure her.

But how did he know that if he had a clear plan, he would follow?

Although Qian Qianqian will most likely do this.

Thinking of this, her heart couldn't help but panic, but she still stubbornly said: "Hey, you little brat, do you really think you know me very well?" ”

Her voice was not loud or small, and the figure of the little maid at the door shook obviously, and her head turned slightly inward, obviously startled by her address to Xiao Mohan.

Qian Qianqian wanted to explain, but she felt that there was no silver three hundred taels here, and she didn't mention a word about Xiao Mohan in her words, if he really told the truth, she could also deny it and get away with it.

She looked around, thinking that this Xiao Mohan had really found a natural prison, so that she had no way to escape except for an entrance.

Qian Qianqian stared at the map for a while, and found that Xiao Mohan sang this play with dedication, and even drew the direction of daylight.

Daylight...... Hill......

She looked at it for a long time, and in a flash of inspiration, she got up and opened the felt curtain, allowing the sunlight to shine in completely, and a small clearing was carved out of the cave, and the terrain was so high that she could overlook the main area, and see that the shape was really exactly the same as on the map.

She looked at the corresponding direction along the landmark left by Xiao Mohan, the sky was blue and white, but there was thick smoke over there, thinking it was a firefight?

She never thought that the war would be so close to her, let alone that even if she stood at least dozens of kilometers away from the place where the war started, she could still hear the sound of weapons colliding in her ears, as if she could see the tragedy of the scene.

Half a moment later, Qian Qianqian finally couldn't bear such mental torture, turned her back to the scene, and her eyes fell on the map again.

Whether Xiao Mohan was intentional or unintentional, Qian Qianqian always felt that he deliberately left this map in order to let himself know where he was.

"You think that's not a goodbye?" Qian Qianqian's nose was slightly sour, but she couldn't hold back her tears, "Xiao Mohan, if you can't come back, you still don't say goodbye." She said this in a low voice, lest that little guy learn, Xiao Mohan had to laugh at her when he came back.
