After studying the identity of quartz on the door panel, the first sentence of this person's reply made Yi'er stand up directly from the chair in shock.

"The prince is fine, the rumors outside that he was seriously poisoned are just the ...... that the prince deliberately let people spread in order to confuse the enemy."

"What did you say?" Yi'er's eyes were full of surprise and surprise.

Quartz said: "The prince just didn't expect that the princess would come to Miaoxi in person, and after getting the news, he was anxious, so he sent his subordinates to cross the blockade laid by Mogo in Xunran City overnight, and let his subordinates come to meet the princess." The subordinates didn't know which way the princess came to Miaoxi, for fear that they would miss the princess on the road, so they had been waiting in Louyuguan for four days and four nights. ”

Yi'er was overjoyed after hearing Quartz's words, but then she also frowned, and said, "You said that it was Guimiao Khan Mogo who led the Guimiao army to besiege Xunran City?" ”

Quartz nodded and said: "The prince of the world entered and exited the west of the black crow crossing, causing the name of the prince to be silenced when he heard the name of the prince in the turtle and Miao country, so Mo Ge personally led a large army to besiege Xunran City, wanting to break the city and capture people to shock the hearts of the army. ”

This is also normal, Jiang You has repeatedly broken the turtle seedlings, if it were not for the Liukun anti-water, cut off the Heishui River, causing Jiang You to be attacked before and after, and thus defeated Langcang Mountain, I am afraid that now the turtle and seedling army has been defeated on all fronts, and even the royal capital Xuanwu City has now planted the royal flag of Dahui. Therefore, in the territory of Guimiao and even in the army, Jiang You's name has changed. Guimiao Khan Mogo wants to boost the morale of the army and eliminate the army's fear of Jiang You, the best and most effective way is, of course, to really defeat Jiang You, kill or even capture him alive.

In this way, the protracted siege of the city of Xunran by Morgo greatly outweighed the spiritual benefits of the military spirit than in the strategic sense.

Quartz continued: "The prince said that the war in Miaoxi is still unclear, the situation is still grim, and the princess must not be in danger, it is better to go back to the capital as soon as possible to wait for the good news of the prince." ”

Yi'er glanced at Quartz and said, "Did you really say that to you?" ”

Quartz sighed, hung his head, and said: "The prince knows that since the princess has come to Miaoxi, there is absolutely no possibility of returning to Beijing, so he gave his subordinates a death order, which is to use this Louyu Pass as a line, so that his subordinates must prevent the princess from going west out of the pass no matter what, otherwise, the subordinates will not be able to do things effectively, according to the Military Justice Department, this head will be ......."

Yi'er suddenly smiled and said, "Do you think you can complete your master's order and stop me from leaving the customs?" ”

Quartz suddenly said: "The military order is like a mountain, and the subordinates ask the princess to be compassionate." ”

Yi'er said: "I sympathize with you, who will sympathize with me?" Get up, in front of me, don't pretend, you tell me honestly, the lord asked you to wait for me here, did you have a plan for the upper, middle and lower? ”

Quartz was stunned for a moment, so she had to raise her head, looked at Yi'er with a wry smile, and said: "The princess and the princess have the same heart, and the couple have a deep relationship, which is not something that outsiders can guess." ”

Yi'er said: "Then the so-called best policy is to let me go back to Beijing and wait for news?" The second thing is to let me wait in the Louyu Pass? ”

Quartz said: "However, before his subordinates left, the prince also said that most of the princesses would not agree with this so-called upper and middle strategy, so ......"

"So, in fact you are the guide he gave me?"

Quartz kowtowed and said: "It is an honor for my subordinates to serve the princess and concubine." ”

Yi'er said: "I'm thinking about going to this Louyu Pass to find a local person who is familiar with the terrain outside the pass as a guide, and you have saved me this trouble." Get up quickly, go and rest first, and follow me out after dawn. ”

Quartz responded, thought about it, and still plucked up the courage to say: "Back to the princess, although the war in Miaoxi has not yet extended to Louyu Pass for the time being, but the Guan Neiguan has already laid out the spies of Guimiao and Liukun, and the subordinates feel that if we want to hide people's eyes and ears, we should go out of the customs at night." ”

"Out of the customs at night?"

Quartz nodded and said: "Louyu Pass, there has never been a precedent for opening and closing at night, so the enemy's spies are not focused at night, if we knock on the opening at night, rush to the northwest for fifty miles, and enter the Meridian Valley to rest, we have a great chance of avoiding the enemy's eyes and ears." ”

Yi'er said: "But there is no precedent for Louyuguan to switch at night, we ......"

Quartz said: "Don't worry, the princess of the princess, Qin Yao, the guard of Louyu Pass, was once the general of the prince, and his subordinates brought the tiger card of the prince when he came, and Qin Yao also recognized his subordinates, so it is not difficult to knock on the door at night." ”

Yi'er thought for a while and looked at the seal and door panel on the side.

Feng Lang took out a map, spread it out on the table, found the Meridian Valley northwest of Louyu Pass, and said to Quartz: "Lord Shi, after arriving at the Meridian Valley, do you have a good route to Xunran City?" ”

Quartz stepped forward calmly, pointed to the map, and said: "If we approach the road, we must pass through the sand city, here is now a demon blazing more guards, if you want to pass smoothly, it is almost impossible, so, I think, we can go east out of the Meridian Valley, along the Kunshan detour, and then take the misty road, down the Weishui." Although it takes three or five more days to walk like this, it can bypass Tasha City, and all the way is full of mountains and wilderness, which is conducive to concealing your whereabouts, compared to it, it is the safest route. ”

Feng Lang and the door panel looked at it for a while, and they both nodded in agreement.

In this way, the initial plan was decided.

When he finally set off, except for the seven people who were splashed with tears and frightened, Feng Lang Door Plate Anhe, Dong Qing and Quartz, only five of the best masters were selected from the crowd to accompany them, and the rest were left in the inn. Of course, it is worth mentioning that Liu Genzi is also among the entourage, which does not mean that his skills are already the best level among the people, but he is young and negotiates with others, which is easy to make people let go of their guard, so Feng Lang specially ordered him to accompany him.

When Quartz went to call the switch, he did not reveal Yi'er's identity, after all, Yi'er's identity is sensitive, and if it is really passed out, it will inevitably cause the entire Miaoxi to shake.

Out of the pass, Yi'er and Thrilling rode together, stepping on the night, nearly an hour, only to the Meridian Valley, everyone rested in the valley, after the hour, the mountains and fields were vaguely bright, before continuing on the road, along the Kunshan detour.

Such a mountain and forest travel, bumps on horseback, since it is not a carriage can be compared, everyone is worried about Yi'er's body, deliberately slowed down the pace, Yi'er after learning that Jiang You is unharmed, the heart is determined, to the initial panic, is not to urge, in the mountains for five days, then down Kunshan, and walked for three days, out of the maze, finally to Weishui.

Although I haven't been in a hurry these days, the mountain road is difficult, especially on Kunshan, where snow has accumulated in some places, and it is not easy to walk. But Yi'er's side, despite the hard work, she gritted her teeth and persevered, she was a delicate lady, she didn't shout bitterness from beginning to end, Dong Qing had seen the door panel a long time ago, but Feng Lang Quartz and others were very surprised, and then looked at Yi'er's gaze, there was more respect.

Of course, in the past few days, I have encountered several scattered troops of the turtle and Miao people on the road, scattered and scattered. It's just that Yi'er's side, all the good players who hide in the forest, were easily avoided by them, and they didn't directly confront them, and they started to fight. In comparison, the hunters and herdsmen living in the local area rarely see them, but piles of corpses and bones, emitting a strong stench, which can be seen everywhere. Yi'er frowned, the origin of the war was cruel and bloody, she had foreseen it, but so many civilians were slaughtered and killed, but it still gave her a great shock.

The last time she had seen so many corpses was in Wan County, and together with Prince Xiang, who is now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Yang Miao, on the way to the mouth of the gorge. It's just that it was a natural disaster at that time, and now this Miaoxi is a man-made disaster.

The first real battle along the way was after arriving in Weishui.

In the afternoon of the same day, they went down the Weishui River and saw a village from a distance on the ridge, because it was just early afternoon, and there was a burst of cooking smoke rising from the village.

Everyone traveled this way, and also passed through many villages, but in those villages, the houses were empty, dilapidated, ruined, and everywhere there was the terrible destructiveness of war, not to mention the smoke curling, it was a chicken and dog domestic animal that could breathe, and there was nothing to see, so when they saw the village in front of them, everyone was slightly surprised.

Soon, Quartz went to inquire and returned, but the village turned out to be an army of turtles and seedlings, about thirty or forty people. This situation is not surprising, after all, the entire Weishui coast is now under the control of Guimiao, and it is normal for Guimiao's army to enter such an uninhabited village to rest. It's just that when Quartz came back, he also brought back the news that there were still a dozen or so civilian women and children in that village, and it was thought that the turtle seedling army should have captured it from a nearby village and used it to humiliate the labor army.

encountered the turtle seedling army, and the safest way to deal with it was naturally to spare the village and avoid continuing to move forward, but it was the news brought back by quartz that made Yi'er hesitate.

She looked up at Feng Lang, Feng Lang knew what she meant, so he said: "Don't worry, county lord, although we don't have many people, there are only thirty or so Western barbarians, and it's still not a problem." ”

Yi'er nodded and said, "Brother Feng, I'm thinking, there are turtle and Miao people in this village, and there are such turtle and Miao scattered people nearby, if they are shocked, the matter will be staggered, so, Brother Feng, if you sneak in, can you take this village without any movement, or with very little movement?" ”

Feng Lang was stunned, but he didn't expect Yi'er to think so thoroughly, thought about it, and said: "We people, we may not be good at charging head-on, but we are all good at stealth fighting, there are too many people in this village, and it is a little difficult to make a little noise without making a scene, but it will not make it earth-shattering, and it can be detected even more than ten miles away." ”
