Chapter 487: Prepare for Battle

The sky was slightly bright, the morning light was soaked in fog, and the vision was not very clear.

The green grass under your feet, the green pines around you, the people and horses in front of you, that's all you can see.

The night was sleepless, and the sense of sleepiness was driven away by the coldness of the morning mist, and only the soft flesh swayed on the horse's back. There was silence in the carriage, Liu Li was forced to sleep, and when he woke up in a daze, Xue Ze was still contemplating.

I remember last night, after leaving in three teams, Liu Li was knocked unconscious by Xue Ze. He had been resting in the carriage, while Yukisawa had been keeping a standby. The people outside only thought that Liu Li was the only one in the car, and they never bothered, and they didn't even say a word.

Now, what time is it? Liu Li wanted to ask but didn't speak, he sat up gently, and quietly lifted one of the corners of the curtain to look.

"The morning fog is so thick, it must be in the middle of the hour! I slept at least seven hours, this ......"

Suddenly, a west wind blew, and the curtain was blown turbulently, and Liu Li hurriedly held it down.

"No one can see me, don't worry!"

The voice behind him was cool and gentle, and Liu Li's back was swaggering with fine cold hairs. He nodded, and after a long time, he slowly turned around and asked softly, "Didn't anything happen last night?"

The bright eyes suddenly opened, like a flower blooming, and Liu Li was startled for a while. There was an inexplicable emotion in her eyes, and Liu Li's heart was panicked, and her face instantly felt burning.

"What?"

Liu Li turned sideways and asked awkwardly, "There's nothing wrong with this way, right?"

"No, you keep that fine work, she may have to wait until the camp to deliver the news!"

"That's good, that's good!" Liu Li took a deep breath and thought: Everyone hasn't slept all night, and their vision is chaotic at this time, otherwise they should choose a place to rest? But was this what she wanted? After all, according to her meaning, she had already dealt with that fine work!

Xue Ze glanced at Liu Li, and understood in his heart what he was thinking, so he said frankly: "There is a stone flat across this mountain, shallow grass, many fine gravel stones, no weeds, no tall forest, no lake but Xueshui Creek, do you want to camp there?"

"Okay!"

Liu Li smiled slightly, and the worries in his heart were very comfortable, and he didn't have to think about how to speak, nor did he have to worry about the body of his entourage.

There was another long, oppressive silence......

The time when the two of them are together is often a state of you and me, and the long silence will only be broken by a few short conversations, and if there is no major event, there will be no communication. It's like Liu Li is really the only one in the car.

However, Liu Li always can't hold back his thoughts, and always likes to break the silence to disturb Xue Ze. It's not because the emotions in his heart are difficult to suppress, and he doesn't bother by the special trip, but he feels that many things are important. On this trip, he felt that Yukizawa's safety was more important than his own life, even though he knew that he was more likely to die......

"That maid's name is Hitomi, the dead soldier of Xibang selected by the Queen Mother, and made a special trip to provide news to the rebels. On this trip, the Queen Mother's bet is on her and the Qilin Marquis, so what follows is an indispensable fight!"

Yukisawa replied indifferently, as if she already knew everything, or maybe she wasn't interested in any of this at all. She only needs to know that there are fine works and who they are, and it is not so complicated to protect Liu Li.

Liu Li was stunned for a moment, glanced at Xue Ze and got out of the carriage, and said to Lu Mu, the leader in front: "Choose a leeward place to rest ahead!"

The fire burned out, and the white ash stained the morning mist, no longer drifting to the black rider's clothes and hair.

The five of them knelt in a row, not frightened or trembling, and their calm faces were calm and composed.

The situation on the other side has been clarified, and Li Zixiao, a subordinate of Qilin Hou, sent a letter back, and then he looked at the five people in a good way.

"You say, what should I do now?" Li Zixiao took out the guard's knife, put it on the neck of the person in the middle, and asked, "I ask you again, have you ever done anything to the letter?"

That man was the messenger, and although everything was true and the black knight testified, he was the most suspicious and guilty. Of the five left-behind people, one went to track down and did not return, and died at the hands of General He, so kneeling in front of Li Zixiao were four left-behind people and one messenger.

"The little ones will never dare!"

Li Zixiao snorted coldly, "What about the four of you? Stayed overnight, blinded by the smoke and fire? There were 3,000 people and horses on the opposite side, and you didn't react at all!"

"The little one knows the mistake, please punish the adult!"

"If the punishment was useful, I would have punished it a long time ago!" Li Zixiao looked at the sky, praying that the sun would rise earlier, and the morning mist was very eye-catching.

Not long after, a familiar sound of horns sounded on the opposite mountain, and Li Zixiao came back to his senses.

"The men and horses on the right side converge on the opposite side and pursue the Beihua army! Follow me on the left! The others will take these five people and chase after the cavalry led by the lord!"

Li Zixiao turned over his horse, looked at the three hundred cavalry he led, and couldn't help laughing. "I don't know if I can find the emperor of Beihua first, I should have seen the news sent by Hitomi first, right?!"

The stones were laid on the lawn, and it hurt a little to step on them, but they gradually got used to it. Walking on the small pebble meadow, it only adds a little comfort, this stone is like a foot massage, and it is much better to press the heart.

The maids all fetched water by the snow stream, and each got where it was needed, and at first glance everyone was fine.

Liu Li stood on a high place, following the veins of the snow stream with great interest to find the source of the snow mountain. At this time, there is less fog, only the white mist on the mountain lingers one by one, and a thin layer of snow mist floats on the flowing water, which looks a little dreamy.

The mountains in the distance are still not visible, but the terrain here is clear. This is an uncovered lawn, on the left is a rocky mountain, on the cusp of the wind and its weathered stones fall to the ground, layer by layer, covered, in the distance, snow-capped mountains, the valley may have pine forests, how to see the specifics is not real.

"If there is a war in this place, then how much can the fifteen of us live?" Liu Li shook his head, "There is no cover here, although it is not easy to be surrounded, it is also difficult to escape. It seems that I have to give Lu Mu a task!"

Liu Li stood up and was about to summon Lu Mu, but he saw Hitomi walking alone with a gourd to the snow stream. "Our army never uses gourds to get water, is this it?"

A gust of wind blew, Liu Li blinked his eyes, and when he opened it again, he couldn't help but be startled when he saw Xue Ze appear on his side.

"Why did you get out?"

Xue Ze didn't answer for the time being, she walked a few steps indifferently and took a look at the scenery around.

She ...... That, Hitomi put things in the water!" Liu Li was a little excited, walked up to Xue Ze's side, and asked softly, "Could it be that this is the way they send the message?"

"You've checked so much, don't you know their tricks?" Xue Ze glanced at Liu Li, bent down and took a sharp stone. "If you want to know, hit that gourd with this!"

Liu Li was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment and still didn't answer, he seemed to understand.

Xue Ze smiled softly, touched the edges and corners of the stone, and sighed: "This is a good weapon to hurt people, maybe you can use it later!"

"Hey, give it to me!" Liu Li reached out to take it, but he was separated by a short distance, and he was a little puzzled as he watched Xue Ze turn his back and continue to walk towards a high place. "Later, you can't be impulsive, don't use spells!"

Yukisawa took the stone in his hand and played with it, quietly looking for other stones he liked. "How many people do you think they will come?"

"I will let Lu Mu take people away, and I will never let anyone get hurt! So, you don't have to cast a spell to save people!"

"What about you?"

Liu Li coughed, "I'll be fine, too!" Anyway, you promised me before you came, you can't cast spells in front of people or in battle, you can't go back!"

"Didn't you see me picking up stones?" Xue Ze suddenly turned around, looked at Liu Li, who was stunned, and threw a stone at him with a smile. "This stone hurts people, can it be considered a breach of contract?"
