Qin Yining hid behind a bush with Lian Xiao Congee, listening to the sound of the thunderclap when the trees burned, and there was an indescribable sense of fear and loneliness in his heart.

Qin Yining is a person who has survived in the mountains, and she has feelings for every grass and tree in the mountains, and even she feels that the plants and trees are full of life and intelligence. How many plants and trees will be burned by this fire, and I don't know how many small animals will suffer.

But in order to protect Lian Xiaocongee, she had to do it again.

Holding Lian Xiao's hot little hand tightly, Qin Yining understood more and more of the dilemma of many things at this moment.

In order to protect this child, she set fire to the mountain, and when she was fighting and killing for the stability of the world and the future of most people, she was probably even more uncomfortable than her, right?

Just thinking like this, Qin Yining suddenly heard the sound of arrows bursting in the air in the distance, she hurriedly stood up, and without waiting for a reaction, there were more than a dozen directions around her that there were echoes of arrows.

Qin Yining guessed that these should be teams that came into the mountains to search and rescue. I just didn't expect there to be so many teams searching.

Xu had never seen so many arrows suddenly sounded from far and near, and even Xiao Congee was frightened, his little hand tightly grasped Qin Yining's sleeve, and he called his sister nervously.

Qin Yining touched her head soothingly, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, this is the person who is looking for us." It's the one who came to find my sister home. ”

Even Xiao Congee seemed to understand and said: "Sister's house, come here?" ”

"yes, so you don't have to be afraid."

"I'm not afraid." Even Xiao Congee nodded heavily, but the hand holding Qin Yining's sleeve did not relax at all, obviously still very scared.

Qin Yining was actually a little nervous.

She was also afraid that the pursuers had not yet gone away, but they were attracted by her fire.

Not long after, Qin Yining and Lian Xiaocongee heard footsteps at the same time and slowly approached them, and the sound of stepping on the snow and dead branches was very crisp, as if they were directly stepping on people's hearts.

The two of them held their breath and hid behind the bushes, not daring to come out easily.

From the gap between the branches and leaves, Qin Yining saw that the person at the head was a thin and somewhat hunchbacked young man, this person was actually wearing the costume of a tiger lieutenant, and the dozen or so people who followed him were all dressed as soldiers of the tiger army.

How could it be!

The Tiger Ben Army had already been ordered to return to the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, how could it appear in the mountains?

Could it be that Xiao Xiao knew that the subordinate's team was attacked halfway, so he came here?

Just when Qin Yining's heart was turbulent, the young man led by him had already raised his voice in a hoarse voice: "The Tiger Benjun came to look for Erbai ...... on the order of Prince Zhongshun."

He repeated the phrase ten times.

The soldier beside him took over and shouted ten more times, and then the next person picked up.

Just one after the other, the tiger army shouted loudly as they searched.

Qin Yining finally let go of his hanging heart, full of joy and emotion.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xiao would let the Tiger Ben Army come to look for her! Afraid that she didn't know him, she also used this kind of "code".

Qin Yining took Lian Xiaocongee's hand and left the bush.

As soon as she made a move here, the searching soldiers immediately spotted her, and they all hurriedly looked back.

The young man at the head immediately stepped forward and saluted, "You are Miss Qin?" ”

The young man's facial features were very ordinary, but his eyes were extremely sharp, and he looked at Qin Yining with a seven-point look and a three-point scrutiny, but Qin Yining didn't perceive the hostility.

"I am. What about your lord? Qin Yining put his arm around Lian Xiaocongee's shoulders and patted him comfortingly.

The young man glanced at Lian Xiaocongee again, then bowed his hand and said respectfully, "Miss Qin, please come with us." ”

As he spoke, he commanded the people beside him, "Shoot the arrow." ”

The man immediately fired another arrow.

Not long after, far from here, there was also the sound of arrows in the northeast.

Only then did the young man smile and say, "Miss Qin, please." ”

Qin Yining was puzzled, and nodded without revealing his face.

With the protection of these dozen or so people around them, Qin Yining and Lian Xiaocongee don't have to worry about being attacked by wild beasts, let alone ambushing by chasing soldiers, so they have walked very smoothly this way.

When he arrived at the bottom of the mountain, the young lieutenant looked into the distance, pointed to the direction where the smoke rose behind the mountain, and said with a smile: "Miss Qin, please come with me." The team of Soshan seemed to have converged there. ”

Qin Yining bowed his head and said suspiciously: "Why didn't your prince come to me in person?" ”

The young man looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "After the prince returned to Beijing, the saint understood the prince's hard work, gave the prince a hundred acres of fertile land, a hundred taels of gold, and ten beauties, and gave him a month's vacation, and ordered the prince to hand over the tiger talisman of the tiger army, and now the commander of the tiger army is Zuo Jinwei Zuo. ”

When Qin Yining heard this, he stopped his steps and shouted in a low voice: "The Holy Lord has taken away the military power of the prince? ”

When the dozen or so tiger soldiers saw that the two of them had something to say, they retreated more than ten steps and followed far away.

The young man nodded heavily.

The bird is hidden, and that's it.

Qin Yining pursed her lips and wrinkled her eyebrows, "Then why did the Tiger Ben Army come here this time?" I remember that the Tiger Ben Army had already returned to Beijing in class, and if there was no accident, it should have been in the capital at this time! Is it the Holy Order, let the Tiger Ben Army come? ”

The young man shook his head.

"It's not a holy decree. It was the prince who transferred troops privately in order to find *. ”

"Oh my God, he's crazy! It's already been feared. Isn't the transfer of troops without permission tantamount to sending the handle into the hands of others? What about your lord? Where is it now? ”

The young man's eyes when he looked at Qin Yining at this time were a little different from Fang Cai.

It seems that the woman that the prince has taken a fancy to is not a straw bag.

"Miss Qin is right, in fact, the prince was originally resting at home, and I heard that the Marquis of Dingbei suddenly led people to attack the ministers of the Yan Dynasty who surrendered to the Great Zhou, and he was in a hurry, but he had no one available in his hands, so he called himself sick, but in fact, he personally went to the army to transfer manpower, and came to search for the whereabouts of you and your family.

"Although the talisman of the Tiger Ben Army is in the hands of Lord Zuo, the brothers in the army are the only ones who are convinced, and everyone follows out with the prince's words. The Tiger Ben Army had a total of 100,000 troops, and 20,000 were brought out by the prince.

"When I went out of Beijing, Lord Zuo impeached the prince for privately mobilizing troops to rebel, and this Shangshu was stopped by the prince's people, and a few days ago, Lord Zuo secretly reported a letter of impeachment to the prince, and the secret report was still stopped by our people.

"However, because the prince is privately deploying troops, if it is revealed, it is equivalent to rebellion, so the prince has been hiding his tracks all the way, and has not met with Lord Zuo, nor has he let Lord Zuo catch direct evidence, it is because Miss Qin met Lord Zuo later, you must be careful, don't talk about it.

"The prince rushed here with people day and night, and searched around here for five or six days, but did not find you, but found a lot of other people who were scattered. As soon as I found out that there was a fire in the mountain, the prince said that you must be here, so he ordered our team to find it, during which the arrow contacted to make sure that we had found you, and the prince did not have time to meet you, so he hurried back.

"Because this time the prince claimed that he was seriously ill, and he closed the door to hide people's ears, although Lord Zuo's secret report was intercepted, it is difficult to guarantee that the saint will not know the news from other channels, in case the saint wants to pierce the prince, the reason for the serious illness is afraid that the saint will not be able to stop the saint. The prince was worried that the saint would search the palace, so he hurried back. ”

Speaking of this, the young man's eyes looked at Qin Yining a little more resentful.

almost didn't directly point at Qin Yining's nose and scolded.

Qin Yining's face was also a little hot. Not just because of shame, but more because of emotion.

She knew that Xiao Xiao had always liked her very much, and when facing her, Xiao Xiao changed his cold and alienation from others, and his enthusiasm was like a fire, he never shied away from liking her, but Qin Yining couldn't imagine that he cared about her to such an extent.

will come to the point where in order to find her, she would rather resist the will and disrespect the will, and intend to rebel, but also bring troops out to find her.

She really couldn't imagine that Xiao Xiao would pay so much in order to find her!

He was stripped of his military power, and his situation was already difficult, but now in order to find her, he dug himself a deeper pit and jumped in.

How could he give so much for her!

He was so affectionate that she felt that if she didn't burn herself out in this relationship, she wouldn't be able to face the sacrifice that Xiao Xiao gave her.

Qin Yining pursed his lips, took a few deep breaths to calm down the agitation in his heart, and said, "Dare to ask this young general, who is next to the prince?" Looking at your conversation, it doesn't look like a deputy general, so talented as a strategist next to the prince will not succumb. ”

The young man was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Miss Qin has good eyesight. ”

This time, where is his voice the voice of youth? It's clearly a husky old man.

"The old man Xie Yue, whose name is Hongchang, is a staff member by the prince's side, and he has been following the prince's side for five years. Because he is good at planning and proficient in the art of disguise, the prince brought the old man out this time, and the prince is worried that others will not be able to explain it clearly to you, so that you will misunderstand, and he is also afraid that others will not understand some things in the Great Zhou during the period, so he specially instructed the old man to follow Miss Qin's side and solve your doubts. ”

Qin Yining looked at his young face curiously, smiled and nodded, "It turned out to be Mr. Xie." It's disrespectful. ”

"Don't dare to be." Then the slightly hoarse young man's voice resumed, "Miss, let's go back to the camp first, and I'll see Master Zuo later, you just don't say anything." ”

Qin Yining waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I already know the situation now." It's not too late for us to come up with a countermeasure and go back, and when we enter the camp, it will be inconvenient to talk about it. ”

Seeing Qin Yining like this, Xie Yue said with some surprise: "Could it be that Miss Qin has a plan?" ”

Qin Yining said: "I have some ideas, and I want to ask Mr. to help me with the staff." ”

"I want to hear about it." Xie Yue gave up.

Qin Yining said: "That Lord Zuo Jinwei Zuo, since he can be promoted by the saint to become the new commander of the Tiger Ben Army, he must not be a stupid person, his secret report has not received a response from the emperor, he will definitely be suspicious, and he will report it again, this time, don't stop it." ”

"Oh?" Xie Yue raised his eyebrows, "Miss Qin, what does this mean?" ”
