The sound of running water is in my ears, not far or near.

The moon is in the dark clouds, the night is scarce, and you can barely see your fingers.

Li Qian ordered one person to light a torch, and everyone took the torch light source as a guide and moved forward cautiously.

As we walked, the torches had gradually penetrated deeper into the canyon, and suddenly, there was a earth-shattering sound from the top of the canyon.

The horses under the valley were frightened and let out a fierce neigh.

Correspondingly, hearing the neighing of horses, the cries above the valley became stronger, as if proud.

Obviously, the situation is that Li Xuan's plan to cross the canyon at night has been discovered, and the other party, who had been prepared, has already set up an ambush on a high place, and is about to harvest the head of Li Xuan's army, and Hohe Province is becoming more and more high-pitched.

Ah Li leaned over to Li Qi's side and whispered: "They said that we have been surrounded, hurry up and put the horses down, and then leave the king behind, and they will spare the lives of the others." ”

The corners of Li Qi's mouth hooked: "Really?" ”

Leave yourself alone and let others go? Oh, who bypassed whom is not yet known!

"Ignition."

With Li Xuan's order, the valley was gradually illuminated, it turned out that there were not many people under the valley at all, and the torch that was lit before was only lit on a slow old horse; The savages occupying the high ground were stunned for a moment, feeling bad in their hearts, and before they had time to think about it, they had already encountered the attack of others.

Li Qian rode forward, looking up at the high ground on both sides.

For most of the day, he set up camp slowly, in order to confuse the enemy and give Qin Feng more time to prepare, preparing to climb to the top of the mountain until he completely surrounded the wild people. With this kind of terrain, how could he easily cross the valley?

They were well-armed and well-trained, the wildlings screamed, and the scene was quickly brought under control.

Ali understands!

Li Qi, who he looked at excitedly, shouted Li Qi's name loudly.

And the captured savages, looking at their stubborn resistance and having become corpses, learned from Ah Li and began to call Li Chen's name.

The sound resounded through the valley.

Morale was boosted.

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, it was not good to continue killing like this.

Li Qi asked him to catch two savages and stepped forward, and Ah Li translated and began to interrogate, knowing himself and the other, and understanding the other party's situation first.

…………

The leader of the savages on the other side of the canyon was waiting for news from ahead, and heard that the leader who lived in Stone Town had arrived at the mouth of the valley very early, but he had been building a house all day long and had no preparation to enter the valley.

He pushed away the two women who were ready to serve and went to the cell naked.

Yan Fa sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, his breathing was low and inaudible, as if he was asleep and dead.

The leader of the wildlings kicked the cage and said in a loud voice, which translated: "How did you die, tell me about the man in the stone house." ”

Yan Fa raised his eyelids, glanced at the leader of the savages, and closed his eyes again.

In the face of such a contemptuous attitude, the leader of the savages of course did not do anything, and he kicked the cage with two feet of wood, and ordered the cage to be opened, as if he wanted to do something to vent his anger.

Suddenly, a red squirrel scurried over, sniffed it in front of Yan Fa, and bared its big teeth at the leader of the savages.

The leader of the wild man was furious, and it was okay to be despised and despised by one person, but the other party was also the leader on the other side of the canyon, but what did this red squirrel with a big tail want to do?

He gave a few words, and a group of wild men surrounded the red squirrel.

The red squirrel seemed to be not afraid of life, and in the face of heavy surrounding, he flicked his tail to reveal even more contemptuous eyes.

The savages thought they were mistaken, and attacked the red squirrel one after another, but although the red squirrel was fat, it moved very flexibly, and after a long time, not only did no one catch it, but it made a mess of the camp of the savage tribe.

Yan Fa sighed and said something to the savage leader, and the savage leader argued fiercely.

It seemed that Yan Fa wanted to persuade something, but the leader of the savages resolutely disagreed.

The two seemed to have broken down.

The red squirrel had enough of playing and ran to Yan Fa, but before the sky was bright, a dense fire suddenly appeared around.

The leader of the savages, they are surrounded?

How can it be?

Who did it? He has sent half of his men to ambush in the canyon, so who are these people who are surrounding him now?

"Let Yan go, otherwise there will be no one left in your tribe." Alley's voice came through the night.

The people who surrounded the savages speak for themselves.

…………

When Li Qian returned to the fortress, it was the beginning of the rising sun.

He listened to Zhu Siwu's rough report on the situation, and hurried back to the bedroom. Shen Qiutan slept unsteadily at night, and he fell asleep until dawn, and his brows were still frowning even though he was asleep at the moment.

Li Qi stretched out his hand and rubbed it, waiting for his hands to be a little warm before raising Shen Qiutan's brow.

"You're back?" Shen Qiutan sat up suddenly.

"Well, let's go back to sleep." Li Qian touched his wife's face and sat on the edge of the kang: "You are frightened." ”

Shen Qiutan shook his head and smiled at the two pear vortexes: "What's this, it's good for you to come back safely." ”

She didn't even ask if it was smooth or not, whether she could save Yan Fa or not, and how she saved it, because if even the savage tribe couldn't be even, then there was no need to think about going back to Beijing to compete for the throne later.

And looking at Li Xuan's expression, everything is going well.

Since then, Li Qi has completely subdued the area north of Beichuan that has been despised by Daning.

…………

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's another year.

The situation in the capital is becoming more and more dull, and the treacherous nature of the clouds is difficult to describe under the calm surface.

King Zhao, who was relieved of his claustrophobic condition by the eldest princess of Changshou, followed the rules and was reserved for his business, and he suddenly regained a lot of goodwill. And under his strong persuasion, the eldest princess of Changshou finally stopped living in the suburbs for a long time, but moved into the eldest princess's mansion in the city.

I heard that King Zhao has to go to the mansion of the eldest princess of Changshou almost every day to listen to the teachings, rain or shine, and dare to slack off for a day.

At the same time, King Lu was not so smooth.

He can stay in Beijing and rely on the contribution of the Queen Mother and the Wang family, but the Queen Mother has been too busy to take care of herself because of a Huo Sheng's life experience, and now she can still sit in the position of the Queen Mother is the result of her concession with Changshou, but Changshou has not uprooted the Queen Mother once, is it a laissez-faire?

Of course not, the Queen Mother has been worry-free for so many years, relying on the Wang family, and more on the Dingguo Gong Huo Zhun, the person in charge of the army is in power at any time, not to mention the turbulent time.

In just one year, although Huo Zhun's forces have not been completely contained, they have been dispersed a lot, and they are no longer in the hands of the past.

In contrast, only the emperor felt that the world was peaceful, and the third son who was released changed his mind, and his aunt also returned to Beijing, and he could go to Jiucheng Palace every year to cool off, and then look at the two daughters born this year, although they are not sons, but as long as they work hard, they will always give birth to sons.
