At midnight the next day, the army pulled out the camp and went to the mouth of the Hangu in Longxi, which had not yet been lost. The scorching sun at noon is like fire, and a large waterhole illusion appears on the desert in the distance because of the phenomenon of light and shadow.

Qin Ruse suddenly remembered something, took off the bone whistle, and called a goshawk. She took off the pendant around her neck, tied it to the goshawk's feet, and let it go.

"What are you doing here?"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this battle in Longxi is not as easy to fight."

Gongsun Jin slowed down the horse's speed, and the two were parallel to the outside of the team.

"Why did the princess say this?" Although, Gongsun Jin also felt so in his heart.

"Instinct it!"

The sun was turning west, and the Beiyi siege team suddenly received an order and withdrew from the Hangu Pass. After they left, the army of the king of Zhenbei entered the city gates.

When He Zi, the general of the defending army at Hangukou, saw the king of Zhenbei, he seemed to know that his life had the possibility of survival, and he couldn't help himself with excitement.

"Your Majesty, you are here. If you don't come again, I'm going to kill myself tomorrow. He Zi said, touched his nose, and held back tears.

"Brother, what do you mean by that? The war has only lasted for ten days, how can it be so messy. "It was Adjutant General He Li who spoke, and he and He Zi were compatriots.

"! It was already two months ago that Beiyi invaded, and it was lost on the day of Jialingkou's invasion, and Meng Yan and I struggled for more than a month. At the end of last month, he was finally killed in battle, losing Lingnankou. He Zi felt more and more sad, although the bitter face of marching and fighting was really inappropriate, but who could understand the sadness of these two months.

"Two months? How is this possible, we received the military report six or seven days ago. He Li looked at the soldiers at Hangukou in surprise.

"In the past two months, we have sent out dozens of spies, and we have not heard from them."

This matter does not need to be explained now, and everyone already knows the reason. Gongsun Jin became extremely silent at this moment, he thought that it was his own negligence and incompetence that made the soldiers of the Great Zhou become dead bones. He was silent, rehearsing all kinds of things in his heart in the past few months, who is the inner ghost? Where do you start to go wrong? can delay the military situation for such a long time, and there is no news from his side, which is enough to show that the other party's strength may already be above him.

"Your Majesty?" He Li saw that the king's face was pale, and he just wanted to speak, but he was silenced because of the princess's eyes.

Qin Ruse motioned for everyone to let the king stay for a while, and she led them to the hall to discuss the matter.

"I didn't ask you just now, who is this woman? Marching and fighting, why do you still bring a girl? He Zi poked He Li, who was sitting next to him, with his elbow.

"What nonsense, this is the princess of Zhenbei."

"Lao Tzu doesn't care who he is, the days when he marched and fought were the days when the tip of the knife licked blood. Bring a little girl, it's not cumbersome. He muttered quietly.

"Brother, do you know Zhou Duo?"

"You know, people call it Ghost Wushuang. Isn't that guy the best soldier you've ever worked on? ”

"Then do you know that he can't even catch the three moves of the princess."

"What's that?" He Zizi squirted out a mouthful of water, "Don't fucking bluff me, just such a girl." ”

He Zi's reaction was within He Li's expectations, and he said as a matter of course: "The princess went to the school a few days ago, and no one in the entire military camp except for our king was stunned to beat her. Later, when I inquired, I learned that the princess was not only the eldest lady of the Linyang piano family. She's still"

He Li wanted to speak and stopped, He Zi grabbed his ears, and slapped on the back of his brother's head: "You turtle son, but you said." Or what? ”

"Or the first dart master of the pianist's dart game - Yama."

"Forehead drop is obedient, this girl has such a great ability."

On the city wall, Gongsun Jin looked at the blood-colored remnant sun, and his heart was turbulent. He is blaming himself, blaming himself for failing to protect the country of the Great Zhou, and for failing to protect the soldiers of the Great Zhou. Qin Ruse took a cloak and walked up and put it on for Gongsun Jin.

"It's not as good as Heze here, it's windy at night, you should be careful of catching a cold."

Gongsun Jin rarely saw not only his little princess, but the pupils of his family and country were a little distressing for anyone who looked at them.

"Listen to them, tomorrow Beiyi will call the battle, the second son of the king of Beiyi, Tamu, and the fourth son Yelu, the king of Beiyi."

Gongsun Jin let out a long breath and closed his eyes. After a long breath, he seemed to restart, and his tone changed from heavy to cold; "Tamu's martial arts are mediocre, but he makes good use of hidden weapons. He has fought with He Li more than ten times, big and small, with more losses and fewer wins. Over the years, no one must know better than He Li. It's just that these four princes are also a little difficult to deal with. ”

Qin Ruse tilted her head, looked at Gongsun Jin's eyebrows together, and couldn't help but feel distressed, so she asked, "Why?" ”

"Yelu is the most outstanding martial artist among the sixteen children of Sangzang, and a scimitar is superb."

"Now, he's the king's opponent?"

Gongsun Jin shook his head: "Compared with this king, he is much worse. But what the king wants is someone who can provoke him and save himself. ”

"What you want is delay?"

Maybe this is the heart, if this is said to others, it is estimated that Gongsun Jin will have to spend a lot of time. What he wants is just a person whose martial arts are above Yelu, this person wants to constantly pretend to lose to the other party, but he can turn the tide and protect himself in one move. So as to delay time, so that the people of Da Zhou have time to detour to the rear to complete the encirclement and strangulation.

"Yes, and to provoke Yelu. This person has excellent hearing, and he can sense any changes in the formation of the army as soon as they change. But when he is angry, his hearing is only normal. ”

Qin Ruse nodded, turned over and jumped onto the city wall: "So the king is so bad now that he doesn't know who to let go into battle to meet Yelu." ”

Gongsun Jin hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull the piano, for fear that this little ancestor would be unstable and fall off the city wall.

"Your Majesty, if you don't, let me try."

"Nonsense!" Although both of them knew that Qin Ruse was the best candidate for this battle, Gongsun Jin still refused. Because as far as he is concerned, even if this matter is only one in a million, he will not gamble with the life of his princess.
