"Leave clues, and don't leave them clear, isn't it easy to find?"

Yu Huai smiled: "Do you think that Xiao Zhan is a good match?" I stayed a lot, and before we could come, they were discovered by others. ”

"That's right." Song Chi scratched the back of his head, extremely bored.

Yu Huai looked at the arrow, and also pointed out the window, there was a small window in this dungeon, Yu Huai jumped up, clinged to the wall, and glanced out.

"Brother Song, look at this arrow, it is not only pointing to this protruding plot, but also more like the locust tree outside the window."

Song Chi followed the arrow and looked over, and really pointed over there.

"The direction the arrow points to is south, locust trees, and holes in the ground. Is it a direction or a name? ”

Yu Huai took another look at the small hole that had been dug, and with a flash of inspiration, he said, "Brother Song, let's go out, I want all the surnames and place names in Yancheng." ”

Song Chi, the second monk, was confused, so he followed Yu Huai out in a daze.

The night was approaching, and the Southern Qi army had withdrawn for dozens of miles into the territory of Southern Qi.

Xiao Zhan woke up faintly, the back of his head was a little painful, he covered the back of his head, sat up with a somewhat hideous expression, and saw General Zhao's somewhat flattering face.

"Childe, you're awake."

"Where are we?"

Coincidentally, Lu Yuan's ears were very pointed, and as soon as Xiao Zhan woke up, the sound came into the carriage.

"Childe, we're on our way back to Nanqi."

"What's wrong with me?" Xiao Zhan's memory is still stuck when he was determined to fight to the death, and then the back of his head hurts, and he doesn't know what happened.

His rare bit of confusion has dissipated, and he has changed to a sharp look, and he actually has a day when he is yin by his own people.

Poor General Zhao was so old that he was frightened by this young man.

Xiao Zhan pulled out an extremely ugly smile: "General Zhao, did you knock me out?" ”

General Zhao was flustered and wanted not to admit it.

Xiao Zhan spoke again: "Lu Yuan, tell me, what happened?" ”

Lu Yuan was named, and General Zhao didn't even have a chance to defend himself.

His voice came in again: "General Zhao saw that our morale was scattered, and if we continue to fight, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out, so he stunned Gongzi and surrendered." ”

"How dare you surrender!"

Xiao Zhan frowned, his body was cold, and he said coldly: "Dying on the battlefield is the supreme glory." ”

General Zhao hurriedly explained:

"Childe, that's 50,000 soldiers and horses, if all of them die in battle, how can I explain to the emperor."

His eyes were red, in that kind of demoralization situation, it was too difficult to revive morale, and if he continued to fight, it would only increase casualties.

"It is precisely with 50,000 soldiers and horses that we have a chance to fight with us, the enemy and our forces are equal, how do you know that I have no ability to rebuild morale, you are suspicious of me?"

General Zhao was speechless, did he dare to say that he really didn't believe it?

Xiao Zhan pressed step by step: "What crime should you be guilty of disobeying military orders without authorization?" ”

General Zhao knelt down with a thud and said, "The last general is guilty." ”

Lu Yuan listened to everything outside, although General Zhao was wrong, but it was undeniable that this saved the lives of most of the generals, and what they fought was also a meaningless war.

Why bother to increase your own casualties for the sake of the dignity of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

He pleaded outside: "Childe, General Zhao also made a choice in a hurry. ”

General Zhao also said: "The 50,000 sons of Southern Qi should not die in this war." ”

What General Zhao said is reasonable, it is the fresh life of Southern Qi.

Xiao Zhan listened, his anger calmed down temporarily, and he asked General Zhao again: "Since it is for the sake of my Southern Qi army, then let me ask you, when you come back in such a hurry, who will collect the bones of my Southern Qi generals?" ”

General Zhao was stunned, he only cared about retreating, he had forgotten this major event, the soldier's horse leather shroud, what he wanted most was to return to his hometown.

Now that the bones are buried in a foreign land, General Zhao is ashamed of the generals who died in the Southern Qi Dynasty.

He raised his head and looked at Xiao Zhan in a daze.

Xiao Zhan sneered: "General Zhao, at this point, you are really unworthy of being a general." ”

General Zhao knelt down and sat down, Xiao Zhan closed his eyes, and didn't want to say anything more.

Yancheng, Song Chi and Chen Yue were still busy searching for what Yu Huai wanted.

Yun Qian has already inserted the shortest road through most of the Northern Circumference.

The night passed quickly, and it was dawn.

The people of Kyoto are still anxiously waiting for news.

At this juncture, a certain daring casino in Kyoto is still desperately collecting cash.

Casinos and brothels are the most drunken gold fans.

This so-called underground casino, dressed in the cloak of wealthy merchants in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, is located in the most prosperous area.

The casino is crowded and noisy, but there is a separate courtyard in the inner courtyard, which completely isolates the sound from the outside.

In this courtyard sat a young man, with a blue face, this person is the real owner of the casino, Gongzi Yu.

He actually learned today that his gambling house actually opened a gambling game, betting on who will win between Yu Huai and Xiao Zhan!

Such a sensitive state affair could not be involved in a small casino for him, even if there were tens of thousands of taels of silver spent in vain, this money could not be earned.

There was a man kneeling in front of him, and the man was kowtowing desperately, and when he looked closely, he could see that this was the owner of the gambling house.

"Who asked you to open the market with Yu Huai and Xiao Zhan without permission?"

The shopkeeper said: "On that day, a mysterious person sent a thousand taels of gold, and then for some reason the news leaked, and many people rushed to hear the news, so I took advantage of the situation to start a gambling game." ”

Gongzi gave him a kick angrily: "Have you ever thought about what you should do if this person deliberately assassinated me?" ”

When he has a high status, doesn't he have to look at Emperor Zhou's face to live? If this matter spreads, he will take state affairs as a child's play, presumably the folds of impeachment will fly all over the sky, and he will still fight for the position of king.

The owner of the casino hurriedly said: "Don't worry, our people don't dare to make a big fuss, and those who know about this matter are some gamblers, and they will definitely not dare to talk nonsense." ”

Gongzi Yu glanced at him and said, "You'd better pray that this is an accident, otherwise if something happens, you won't be able to cut off ten heads." ”

Gongzi Yu stood up and was about to leave, when the noise outside suddenly became louder, and a sharp scream came.

"Someone's killed!"

"Dead!"

For a moment, the scene was chaotic.

The owner of the gambling house looked at Xiao Zhan, who had not yet left, his heart jumped suddenly, he got up, trotted out and shouted, "What's the matter? ”

As soon as he came out, his face changed twice, and there was a man lying on the ground, covered in blood.

The owner of the gambling house suddenly panicked, walked over, probed his nose, and breathed, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he had not been killed on the spot in the gambling house.

"Send this person to the hospital first, what's going on?"

The guy from the gambling house leaned over and whispered a few words into his ear.
