"Your Highness, King Hui has arrived at the border of the Chu River and is preparing to cross the river overnight."

......The sunspot that had been pinching his fingertips suddenly landed on the chessboard without warning, disrupting the game that had come to an end.

"Ruo'er, you're not paying attention!" Mo Jingyao glanced at Lin Zhiruo with a disgusted expression, and a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When she received the news, Lin Zhiruo was playing chess with Mo Jingyao, of course she didn't know what to do, but in the past few days, Mo Jingyao has been offering her delicious food and drink in the yard, and will stay with her for most of the day every day.

"What did you say?" Lin Zhiruo wished that she had just misheard, and she stared at the soldiers who came to report with the last glimmer of hope.

The soldier was a little surprised by her reaction, and only looked at Mo Jingyao with a pair of eyes.

After Mo Jingyao nodded at him, he lowered his head and repeated his words.

"Cross the river overnight......" Lin Zhiruo muttered.

These days, she has also tried to escape, but unfortunately Mo Jingyao has long known that she has a unique skill, and has already completely isolated everything that can be found on her body, and does not let her come into contact with the medicinal materials in the house no matter what.

In other words, let alone medicinal materials, Lin Zhiruo can't do it even if she wants to start with the ingredients.

It's just that Mo Jingyao Baimi still has a mistake, he doesn't restrict Lin Zhiruo from walking around in the courtyard, but her side follows people all the time to ensure that she can't act alone, Lin Zhiruo accidentally discovered that the weeds growing in the yard are actually poisonous.

In the past few days, she often took advantage of the inattention of her entourage to quietly collect, but the other party was staring too closely, and the materials she needed were still a little short until today.

In order to ensure that things are safe, she originally thought that she would wait until she had collected enough materials before starting to implement her escape plan, but now it seems that even if she is not sure, she will have to do it in advance.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhiruo clenched her fists and secretly made up her mind in her heart.

Mo Jingyao was a little surprised by this news, from the capital to Zhongzhou, another 100,000 troops set off at the same time, according to his original expectation, it must take more than 20 days to arrive, but he didn't expect this Qin Ziyu to be five days in advance, and at the same time, his heart also began to reassess the strength of this person.

"In this case, Ruo'er, this king can no longer accompany you to continue to play this game of chess, Qin Ziyu is not a person who is greedy for merit, he actually gave the order to cross the river overnight when his soldiers were sleepy and tired of passers-by, obviously there are his considerations, besides, this king must go to the Chu River in person, no matter how to say that the other party is also the prince of Da Yue Kingdom, if this king does not greet him in person, it is really a bit rude!"

As he spoke, he stood up from his chair, reaching out to smooth out the folds on his clothes, his eyes bursting with high fighting spirit.

Hearing this, Lin Zhiruo's heart suddenly moved, if Mo Jingyao could take her with her on this trip, it would definitely be much faster than going there alone, but how to get Mo Jingyao to agree.

Seeing that Mo Jingyao and his lieutenant were about to disappear at the door, Lin Zhiruo was anxious, but she really couldn't get any good bargaining chips except for medical skills, and she didn't have time to think so much at this time.

Lin Zhiruo blurted out: "Slow! ”

Mo Jingyao paused when he heard this, and looked at Lin Zhiruo suspiciously.

Lin Zhiruo paused, and directly said her thoughts: "Can you take me with you to Chu River this time?" ”

After speaking, as if he was afraid that Mo Jingyao would not agree, he said: "You know, I don't have other benefits, but I have good medical skills, and the battlefield is the most vulnerable place to injury, I think you will need my help." ”

Mo Jingyao raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "What? If you say so much, is it just that you can't bear this king? ”

Lin Zhiruo was not interested in playing tricks with him: "The prince said that he should bring it or not." ”

Mo Jingyao hooked his lips and smiled again: "Since Ruo'er asks for this, this king naturally can't refuse, okay, then Ruo'er will join me on this trip!" ”

"Lord Wang!" The adjutant general next to him was shocked and hurriedly persuaded.

Lin Zhiruo's power he had personally experienced, and he was among the assassins sent out at the inn that day, and he was very clear about this woman's agility and cunning.

She is Qin Ziyu's good friend, if she is brought on this trip, it is equivalent to having an extra fine work around her, and she may ruin the layout of His Royal Highness the Crane King at any time.

"Don't say it, this king has his own measure." The Crane King stopped him directly, and then turned and left.

In the Chu River, night has completely fallen, and after the 100,000 troops are making fires on the shore to make food, they continue to devote themselves to the work of tying wooden platoons.

Qin Ziyu frowned as he looked at the rolling river, her Ruo'er was waiting for him on the other side of the river. He had to go over as soon as possible, but fortunately, although the Chu River was dangerous, the water was not very turbulent, and the river was still much narrower than the Yellow River.

"Your Highness, the wooden raft has been tied." The lieutenant came to him again and said with a fist clenched.

"Good." Qin Ziyu turned his head and glanced at the soldiers sitting on the ground behind him, their eyes were blank and they looked like they were extremely tired, and some even fell asleep directly before the food in their hands was finished, and their hearts suddenly ached.

Although he misses Lin Zhiruo day by day, he also carries the lives of the soldiers behind him, and he does not want to bring fearless sacrifices to any of them.

Therefore, in spite of his impatience, he said to the adjutant general: "Send the order to go down, rest for a while in the first half of the night, and start crossing the river after the second half of the night." ”

The lieutenant general finally breathed a sigh of relief, if the second prince insisted on asking most of them to cross the river immediately, he had no way to refuse.

It's just that he himself has achieved the position of deputy general step by step from a nobody, and he is very sympathetic to the hard work of the soldiers below.

Under these circumstances, if the tired and sleepy soldiers were forcibly allowed to cross the river, it would only cause unnecessary casualties, and I am afraid that before reaching the other side, most of the soldiers would fall into the water and feed the river fish.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness King Hui still cares about their brothers after all, and he didn't really ask them to enter the water overnight, as long as the soldiers are given a little time to adjust, I believe that they will get twice the result with half the effort when they get to work.
