Night, late at night.

The Songjian Pass under the splendid galaxy is still a siege formation, but after night tonight, both camps are a peaceful scene.

Xiahou He had already fallen asleep, but the lamp was still burning in Fu Mang's handsome tent.

The veteran had removed his armor and was wiping the Frost Sword that had been with him until now in front of the candlelight.

This sword has been stained with the blood of many famous generals, which is also what Fu Mang is most proud of.

The Northern Qin people were more martial than the Great Zhao people, and Fu Mang was the first to charge into battle in every battle in his more than 30 years of conquest and killing. Although he is now old, as long as he has the opportunity, he will still take the lead in fighting.

It is precisely because of this that Fu Mang can have an incomparable prestige among other generals in the army.

There was the clatter of horses' hooves outside the camp, and Fu Mang instinctively became alert, and pressed the hilt of his sword with one hand. But it was his own soldiers who broke into the tent.

"General, a letter has been sent from the enemy camp, saying that it must be submitted to your desk."

"What about the messenger?"

"It's been put back," the soldier glanced at Fu Mang hesitantly, "this...... General, do you want to send it to His Highness's desk immediately? ”

This personal soldier has followed Fu Mang for many years, and he has seen Xiahou He's attitude towards Fu Mang these days. According to his thoughts, Xi Yan's letter is a hot potato, and it should be handed over to Xiahou He as soon as possible, so as not to make any waves.

"Is this letter for me?"

"I don't know, but I think it is."

Fu Mang lowered his eyes and looked at the envelope, except for the four words "Xi Yan's own handwriting", there were no other words, not even the envelope...... They didn't seal it properly, they just folded it casually, and it didn't seem to be much of a big deal.

"It's late at night, so there's no need to bother Your Highness. After the general has seen it, he will personally deliver it to His Highness tomorrow morning, and you can go down. ”

After hesitating for a long time, Fu Mang still opened the letter. There is no other reason, just because in today's negotiations, Xi Yan did not mention when the Northern Qin army would leave...... Besides, the envelope of this letter was not sealed, even if he opened it now, Xiahou He would not say anything.

But the first time Fu Mang set his eyes on the letter, he already regretted it.

"The general trend...... Go. ”

With Fu Mang's muttering voice, the letter paper fell to the table, and the flickering candle flame lit the letter paper, and when Fu Mang rescued the paper, the letter paper had already burned off a corner, and the veteran's hands had begun to tremble slightly.

He let out a long sigh of sorrow, then put the letterhead back on the table.

Fu Mang knew that the words on the letter paper that were covered by ink spots would become the reason why Xiahou He misunderstood him, he could have sent it to Xiahou He as soon as he got the letter, but now, ...... It's too late.

Xi Yan ...... You are so provocative, you are so provocative! Fu Mang already felt a little short of breath, as if his neck had been firmly strangled by a rope, as long as the person holding the rope squeezed hard, he would die immediately.

In fact, Xi Yan didn't have to work hard at all.

Because of Fu Mang, he has been forced to a desperate situation...... For a moment, Fu Mang even wanted to burn the letter, pretending that this had never happened, but he immediately thought that the messenger was coming magnificently, and of course Xiahou He's cronies also saw it and saw that the letter was sent to his camp.

Fu Mang knew that he was at a loss for words. That night, he was completely sleepless.

The difference is that this night, Xi Yan slept very peacefully, dreamed all night, and woke up to dawn.

"If I hadn't woken up to see the roof of the tent, I would have almost forgotten that it was a war."

Xi Yan's breakfast was very simple, just a little porridge and wild vegetables, but the amount sent by the catering soldiers was too much, so he had to bring Liu Peiqi to accompany him to eat.

"The war hasn't started yet, and it doesn't seem to be much different from a war and a hunt."

Xi Yan smiled slightly, hunting and hunting, flying eagles and horses were what he was very good at, but since he came to the northwest last year, these interesting things have gradually left him, and those friends who used to have fun together are also scattered in different parts of the world.

In the past, in Chongdu, although there were many light dishes, most of them were plain mountain and sea delicacies, and there were few wild vegetables that were refreshing and slightly bitter in the mouth.

As soon as he arrived in the northwest, Xi Yan instructed his own soldiers to pay attention to some home-cooked wild vegetables along the way, and if they saw good ones, they would collect them and send them to his table.

The soldier did not live up to his instructions, sometimes purslane, sometimes wolfberry sprouts, and one day even got a cage of river crabs, Xi Yan was also happy to eat whatever he wanted.

He was a child of a family and was secretly reminded by Liu Peiqi a few times, but after eating a few times, Liu Peiqi never mentioned it again, but looked forward to this extra meal.

Before he could finish his thoughts, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the gate, and a moment later, a dusty scout was led to Xi Yan.

"You're from the Northwest Army?" Looking at his attire, it is exactly the dress of the Northwest Army.

"The last general is the Captain of Huai'an Mansion, and now the deputy general of Qi Gongzi," as he spoke, he had already taken out a bag from his sleeve, Liu Peiqi reached out to take it, and then handed it to Xi Yan.

"How would Qi An know I was here?"

The lieutenant general hadn't answered yet, but he had already laughed when he heard Xi Yan.

Liu Peiqi looked back for some reason, but saw that he was holding a very moist jade handle in his palm, and then looked closely, it was a cute carved pig.

"This is a token of Gongzi and Gongzi Qi?"

"It's Qi An, there is no doubt," Xi Yan smiled and took out another piece from his arms, it was the stubborn monkey that was almost touched by Qi An in the Begonia Courtyard that day, and the two sides were a pair, which happened to fit tightly.

The lieutenant knew he had found the right person, and a smile welled up in his eyes.

"On the way to the west, Gongzi Qi met the main force of the Southwest Army east of Zishui Gorge, and sent people to inquire, saying that you are here in Songjian Pass, and the Northern Qin Army has been besieged, and our Gongzi will send the last general to go first, no later than three days, and Gongzi Qi can also meet with you."

"Did he let you talk?"

"Yes," the lieutenant nodded slightly, but his tone was a little hesitant, "Mr. Qi is very grateful for your help, and I ask you to ......."

Seeing that he was about to be unable to speak, Xi Yan asked him with a smile: "Is this his words, or your words?" ”

"This ......"

"Okay, you don't have to make up some nice things to fool me, what the hell did he tell you to say, you just said it, don't you think I look like a person with a small belly?"

"This ...... The last general said, "Although the lieutenant general agreed, it took him a long time before he finished his words intermittently," Qi Gongzi said...... Old, old bastard, if you have some conscience, you will annihilate the main force of Northern Qin and then leave. ”

The phrase "old bastard" had just been exported, and Xi Yan couldn't wait to beat Qi An quickly, but the words were what he wanted to ask, and in front of so many subordinates, no matter how hesitating he was, he had to be generous.

"Sure enough, it's hard to change," Xi Yan waved his hand casually, trying to smile more naturally, "You go back, go back and tell him that if you want to annihilate the main force of Northern Qin, it is not enough to lack the Northwest Army." ”

"Yes!" Seeing that Xi Yan had no intention of blaming, the deputy general simply touched the ground on one knee, and after saluting, he was led out by someone.

"How would Gongzi know that it wasn't Gongzi Qi's original words?"

Liu Peiqi kept smiling, and when his subordinates gradually left, he finally had the opportunity to ask this sentence.

"When did Qi An thank me? I never thanked him. If he says thank you for a big thing, then next time, it will be impossible to find him to do something. ”

"I see," Liu Peiqi twisted his beard with a smile, "This Qi Gongzi is really a wonderful person." ”

"It's hard to say whether it's wonderful or not, but it's a beauty. Besides, I have known him for many years, and we know each other too well, when will he spit out ivory from his mouth? ”

"If you and Gongzi Qi talk like this, they must be friends, so let's ...... What should I do? ”

"Open a corner of the encirclement and see if Fu Mang dares to go," Xi Yan looked at the camp of the Northern Qin army and other camps in the distance, "and then ...... Just wait. ”

"Waiting for Gongzi Qi to come?"

"Qi An will know what to do."

Xi Yan believes in Qi An, and they have been together for nearly 20 years, so they know each other very well and have a tacit understanding...... He believed that Qi An would definitely make the most appropriate arrangement.
