That night, Qi Mo was still in the camp tent with an oil lamp to study the border topographic map.

"I knew you hadn't slept yet, it's been five watches, and I've slept all the time." Ruan Chen lifted the curtain and said helplessly, "If you study topographic maps and tactics day and night, then you must have the body to go to the battlefield at that time." ”

He glanced at the topographic map that had been marked by Qi Mo for an unknown number of times, and sighed again: "You don't know how many times you have fought with the Huns, and you know the topographic map of this border very well, where do you need to be so wasteful about sleep and food?" Rest quickly. ”

Qi Mo still looked at the topographic map hanging by himself, and made a mark with the pen in his hand from time to time, but he turned a deaf ear to Ruan Chen's words.

Seeing this, Ruan Chen shook his head and said, "I asked someone to fetch water for you." ”

As he spoke, he called the soldiers who were specially designed to take care of Qi Mo's diet and daily life.

"Fetch a basin of water for your grandfather to wash himself." He reached out and lifted the teapot and shook it, "And the tea in the tent should also be changed, it's all empty." ”

The soldier was given the order to go down and get busy.

"How did the dignified marquis fall to the point where I am Qi Mo's old mother?" Qi Mo put down the pen in his hand and turned around and teased.

Ruan Chen couldn't help but be excited when he heard this, this was the first time Qi Mo had joked with him in the three months since Qi Ruo left.

"Who wants to be your mother? I'm a prison army, a prison army, I'm not afraid that you, the grandfather of the country who is in command of the battle, will not take good care of his body, and he will not be able to go to the battlefield and fight when the time comes. ”

Qi Mo was silent again.

Seeing this, Ruan Chen sighed, and persuaded again: "I know that you want to take care of the matter here as soon as possible to find Qi Ruo, but ...... Your body is also very important...... If you are injured or sick, how can you find her? ”

Qi Mo propped his right leg forward, leaned back, rested the back of his head on the back of the chair, hung his hands weakly on his sides, looked at the top of the tent without blinking, and said, "I know that you are here to be a prison soldier for me, but I know in my heart, don't worry." ”

Ruan Chen couldn't help but sigh heavily, waved his hand and went outside.

"You rest for a while, I'll go out and have a look first."

"We have been fighting the Huns for three months, and I am a little anxious." Qi Mo's words stopped Ruan Chen's next move, and he continued, "I can't wait, I want to take a risk." ”

Ruan Chen was a little angry when he heard this, and immediately turned around and reprimanded him.

"Adventure? I don't think you want to die! In ancient times, there were battles for a year and a half, counting the days we were on the road, but four months, what risk did you take? ”

The more he spoke, the more angry he became, and the worse his tone became.

"The Huns are reckless, but people don't need to lead soldiers without the art of war, what do you want? Say, what's the matter? What's a surprising way to win? ”

Qi Mo looked up at Ruan Chen, picked up a piece of paper on the table, kneaded a paper ball, and threw it at him.

"That's enough, the more you talk to me, the more energetic it gets." His voice lowered, with some contemplation, "Yes, I'm a little anxious, but I'm still awake and won't joke with the lives of these soldiers who trust me." ”

Ruan Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "Tell me, what do you want to do?" ”

Qi Mofu lay back on the chair again, and said casually: "I, I just want to have a surprise attack, so I don't know when I can't go up or down, I don't know when I want to fight, although Prince Ren's twists and turns have subsided, but the court has also been hit hard, and it is a time when it needs to recuperate, and the military and financial resources can't afford to consume it for a long time." ”

Ruan Chen also knows this reason, after all, Prince Ren has been operating in the court for many years, and his roots are deep, and he will affect his whole body, and now that they have moved him, it will inevitably affect some operations in the court.

"What's the raid method?"

Qi Mo got up, quickly got up and pointed to a place with his finger.

"I brought 5,000 elite soldiers around here, and I didn't go deep into the hinterland of the Huns, and the Huns wouldn't easily notice it."

Ruan Chen couldn't help but glance at Qi Mo: "Yes, the Huns will not easily detect it, because this is the desert." But have you ever thought that you would have to pass through the desert when you thought of coming here, and if you brought five thousand people, the desert people would definitely notice. What will they do then? ”

"That's why I said it was an adventure." Qi Mo stared at the hanging topographic map for a moment, and after a while, he said, "The attitude of the desert people is really incomprehensible, and the identity of the people who can't forget it...... I also have doubts, I don't know what he has to do with the desert......"

His hands hanging on his side slowly clenched: "I went to investigate with a spy, and I only said that a princess has recently returned from the desert, and she has been raised in Daqian since she was a child." ”

Ruan Chen was shocked, and had the same conjecture as Qi Mo, and opened his mouth not to mention this stubble, but proposed: "I think it can be slowed down a little longer, and then find someone to investigate." ”

After thinking about it for a while, he said again: "Why don't I go and check it myself?" Take a look at the recent situation in the desert, find out the bottom, and know their attitude. ”

Qi Mo rejected him in one bite.

"No! You don't know how to do kung fu, and if you are discovered, you won't be able to escape. Besides, it's the first time you've been here, and you don't know many of their habits, and you won't be able to pretend to be like them when the time comes, only to be chased by others. ”

After a pause, he added, "I'll see who to send." ”

"There you go." Ruan Chen said.

Qi Mo looked up at Ruan Chen suddenly, he didn't expect Ruan Chen to say such a thing: "You are a prisoner." ”

Ruan Chen seemed to not know Qi Mo's voice, and replied casually: "Yes, I am a prison army, so you have to fight this battle for me, and you have to ask me about the news when you go to the desert, don't fold there." ”

Qi Mo got up and punched Ruan Chen in the shoulder: "you." ”

As he spoke, he restrained the smile on his face again: "I'm serious, I'm the commander of the first army, and I can't leave at will." ”

Ruan Chen also straightened his face: "I think, if Qi Ruo is not in the desert, you will decide to go by yourself without hesitation." Qi Mo, there really is no need for this. Besides, Your Majesty sent General Chen with you, you should know, he acquiesced, as long as it didn't affect the situation of this battle because of your business, it was nothing. ”

Qi Mo smiled with relief: "You're right, there are still you and General Chen in this army, one knows how to write and the other knows martial arts, if the soldiers in the army leave me, then what kind of battle do you want to win?" It's a dream! ”

Ruan Chen also punched Qi Mo back: "This is my famous Zhenguo Gong!" ”

Qi Mo figured it out, since he had decided to be an idle grandfather in the future, and he would take Qi Ruo around if he had nothing to do, then he was bound to let go of power.

These soldiers have always followed him, and now they are handed over to General Chen to take them, as well as many generals in the DPRK and China, if they can take charge alone, then he can let go with peace of mind.

Qi Mo said that he couldn't go to the desert in a moment, and he had to explain all the affairs of the general, so he took a few cronies to the desert.

They can't go to the desert with such a swagger, but disguise themselves as a group of traders who have been trading on the border all year round.

"Master, somehow recently, the road to the desert is not very peaceful, the sand thieves suddenly rampant, robbed a lot of passing traders, this month to the desert to sell goods traders is a lot less, especially the cannibalistic slope, the sand thieves love to ambush there, ordinary traders do not dare to go there, are detoured. Or do we go around too? ”

The spies who have been in the border all the year round said to Qi Mo.

Qi Mo knew that the place of the cannibal slope was equivalent to a pass, and the road they walked in would become narrow and then slowly widen, surrounded by two hillsides on the left and right, and that narrow place was the best sneak attack point.

He felt that the spy had a point, but the detour took too long for them to delay.

"No, if we have to delay the road for several days on the detour, then our trip back will be disrupted."

He can't stay in the desert for a long time, otherwise the Huns will know that he is not in their camp and will only be afraid that they will attack fiercely, maybe the soldiers on their side will be able to attack next, after all, the Huns' combat power is very strong.

He had to go back and watch before he could be reassured.

Of course, he didn't plan to show up, he watched quietly, and if there was any problem at that time, he would come out in time to solve it, if not, it would be good.

He turned his head and said to the few people who were sitting on the side resting: "I heard it, this road is not very safe, and they all cheered up, and they couldn't be lazy in the slightest." ”

These people's kung fu is extremely good, and Qi Mo is still more at ease with them.

It's just that the frequent occurrence of sand thieves has aroused Qi Mo's doubts.

This is not a trivial matter, it directly affects the lives of the people in the desert, as well as the national strength of the desert.

You must know that the desert people were not rich before, but they got rich by doing business with foreign countries, and who would dare to do business if it went on like this for a long time? Isn't the desert royal family going to send some people to encircle and suppress it?

Naturally, the desert sent people.

The Queen of the Desert sent a general whom she trusted to trust, and even brought the general, who was only ten years old, Amoyya, with him, saying that he would go to see human blood and sharpen his blood.

Where can Qi Ruo rest assured? And with the queen on his back, he went out with the Amoyeeds.

General Doro was very embarrassed: "Little princess, you can go back, Your Majesty will not be able to find you, you will be worried, besides, this sword is not long-eyed, what if it hurts you?" ”

Qi Ruo looked straight ahead and categorically rejected his request: "I don't!" I want to be with Amoyed. As for Grandma, I've already found someone to tell Grandma. ”

Although it is a prelude to the first cut.

She looked back at Doro and said flatteringly, "General Doro is the most martial artist, and he will definitely not let people hurt me, right?" ”

Doro was praised by Qi Ruo's words, and immediately patted his chest and said: "Little princess, don't worry, Doro is here, and others don't want to touch a hair of you." ”

Qi Ruo nodded in agreement, glanced at Amoyed, and saw that Amoyed smiled and gave her a thumbs up, and she also gave him a reply.
