Zhao Hu saw that Xiao Qingyun personally brought people over to attack, and he really couldn't help it, so he put on his own clothes and went into battle, and personally led the army to meet the battle. The battlefield between the two sides in Licheng was once again dark. As a result, before the winner was decided, Dayong's side hurriedly withdrew his troops.

Xiao Qingyun and the others knew that the people who attacked Zhu'a were successful, and they did not love war, so they hurriedly took people to Taixian County again and escorted the grain army back to Dongpingling.

After this battle, the situation in Qingzhou gradually became clearer. Although the two sides are still not decided, Dayong, who has no food and grass, will definitely not be able to hold out for a month and will retreat from Licheng.

Xiao Qingyun not only has to control the battle situation in Qingzhou, but also worries about Lan Jing'an in Xiangyang. He knew that he was too far away, and such worries not only had no real purpose except for affecting his state of mind, but he still couldn't control his daily anxiety.

And what made him even more irritable was the arrival of Li Xie.

Li Xie held the Qianjun Rune Festival and Lan Jing'an's handwritten letter to Xiao Qingyun, and arrived in Qingzhou smoothly along the way. When she met Xiao Qingyun, he was leading people to study how to resolve the stalemate between the two armies. He didn't want to see her, but when he heard that she had detoxified Lu Min, Ahri personally wrote a letter of recommendation for her, and he couldn't refuse.

As a result, as soon as Li Xie saw Xiao Qingyun, he showed a face that he had seen an old acquaintance. He called him a benefactor in public, and he had to stay by his side to repay him for his kindness that night. Before she finished speaking, some generals looked at Xiao Qingyun differently, and secretly thought, but they didn't expect the generalissimo to have such a dissolute side.

Xiao Qingyun was quite annoyed, and she was embarrassed to scold her in public, after all, this woman was Lu Min's life-saving benefactor, and she could be regarded as a meritorious person to the Xiangyang Qianjun. In desperation, he had to leave everyone behind and call Wu Wei to explain the situation in public.

It turned out that it all started in March last year. When Xiao Qingyun led people to conquer Wuling County in Jingzhou, he once led people to chase the guards of Wuling County from Chenyang to the west to the deep mountains.

Wuling County was not a military place, but it was a place with many ethnic groups. Seeing that the enemy of Wuling County was no match for Xiao Qingyun, he arrested the leaders of many local tribes and threatened them to act as a shield against the cadres.

Xiao Qingyun didn't want to clash with these various tribes that were already oppressed, so he promised them to bring their leaders back safely no matter what. So he personally led people to chase after the Wuling County Guard.

On the fifth day of the first month of March, they finally caught up with the Wuling County Guard. Seeing that Xiao Qingyun had led people to kill, the Wuling County guard hurriedly ordered people to disperse the formation, and each few people grabbed a leader and fled in different directions, intending to confuse Xiao Qingyun's sight. And he himself rode alone, picked the best official road, and fled as fast as his horse went.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Qingyun also ordered his subordinates to disperse and chase after each other. And he himself took Wu Wei to personally chase after the Wuling County Guard. Wuling County Guard ran for more than ten miles, and when he saw Xiao Qingyun chasing closer and closer, he had to abandon his horse and flee to the depths of the mountain.

Although Xiao Qingyun and Wu Wei had good martial arts, they were not as familiar with the terrain as the Wuling County Guard. Fortunately, the two of them kept biting very tightly, and finally intercepted the Wuling County Guard after following for more than half an hour. At that time, he was about to raise his knife to kill a woman next to him, but Xiao Qingyun snatched it in two steps and cut off his head with a sword.

And the woman, with her hands tied together, was whimpering and begging them for help. Xiao Qingyun hurriedly helped her take out the cloth in her mouth and untied the rope for her.

Xiao Qingyun saw that the Wuling County guards had to take this woman with them at the critical juncture of escaping, which shows that this woman must not be an ordinary person. He couldn't help but look at her. I saw tears shining on her beautiful face, but she stubbornly refused to shed tears. She didn't dress like the Han Chinese, so she thought she should be the head of a tribe.

Xiao Qingyun asked her who she was and how she was caught by the Wuling County Guard. The woman choked up and said that she was a Miao person, and she originally came from Xia Kingdom to visit relatives, but she was recognized by the Wuling County Guard as the wrong person, thinking that she was the commander of the local Miao people, and was arrested. She didn't know why she was brought all the way here by the Wuling County Guard, and she was almost killed by him.

Xiao Qingyun saw that she was sincere, so she promised to take her back with her, and then send someone to send her back to her relatives' house. The Miao girl nodded again and again, grateful to Xiao Qingyun for saving her life.

When Xiao Qingyun and Wu Wei chased after them, they only followed the Wuling County Guard, and neither of them remembered the way. Now it was even more difficult to take the girl back to where they dismounted. Three people, you look at me, I look at you, I don't have a good idea, I can only take one step at a time, and try to get out of the dense forest with my feelings.

As a result, I walked for an hour or so and didn't see the official road. Xiao Qingyun said that he was not good, it was estimated that the direction had diverged, otherwise it would not have taken so long. Seeing that it is getting dark, if you wander around again, you may stray into a deeper place.

Xiao Qingyun and Wu Wei discussed it, so they found a flat place nearby and temporarily made do it overnight. It is estimated that other people will find out that the two of them have not returned for a long time, and they will definitely come out to look for them. Even if they went farther, the soldiers should be able to find them after a long time of looking for the horses.

The three of them then found a flat place at random, Wu Wei was responsible for going to the neighborhood to collect some game, and Xiao Qingyun was responsible for lighting a bonfire. Wu Wei came back not long after, he not only hunted a rabbit back, but also found a stream, rolled some water with leaves, brought it back, and handed it to Xiao Qingyun to drink.

Xiao Qingyun gave it to the Miao girl beside him. It's not that he's not thirsty, it's just that he doesn't have the habit of drinking water by himself, but letting a woman look at him from the sidelines. The Miao girl raised her eyes in surprise and looked at him, smiled, took the water, and drank it all in one gulp.

Wu Wei was dumbfounded, he brought so much water in total, the master was kind. But this girl didn't know what to do, and she didn't have any left drink. He was about to open his mouth to reprimand her, but Xiao Qingyun shook his head at him. Anyway, the water has been drunk, and it is useless to talk about her, so why waste her tongue.

So Wu Wei had to get up again and go to fetch water. And Xiao Qingyun was responsible for skinning and roasting the rabbit, and the Miao girl drank the water, and watched Xiao Qingyun busy in front of the fire with her cheeks contented. Chat with him from time to time.

Xiao Qingyun was busy roasting rabbits when he suddenly felt a hissing sound in his back. He jerked back to see a long black and yellow snake hanging from the tree, trying to attack him. When it was too late, he instinctively threw the snake aside with the stick in his hand that was stirring the fire. But I heard a loud scream.

It turned out that he shook it casually, and he was impartial and just put the snake on the body of the Miao girl. The poisonous snake is fierce, and when it sees a living creature, it comes up with a bite and bites the girl's fragrant shoulder. Xiao Qingyun was also surprised, he quickly pulled out the sword on his body and slashed to death the poisonous snake that was entrenched on the girl's shoulder.

The Miao girl panicked, this time she really cried, tears dripping down big pieces, and she kept saying something in Miao language.
