Shi Qingxue was taken aback, "What are you doing?" ”

Mo Junhao hugged him tighter, and said solemnly: "It's not safe to go down from the house in such a big fire, there may be how many people are waiting for us below, I'll take you to jump directly from the windowsill to the backyard and ride a horse." ”

After that, he hugged Shi Qingxue and jumped into the backyard horse stall a few times.

Without giving Shi Qingxue a chance to protest, he put his arm around Qingxue's willow waist and flew on his horse, leaving the inn before the assassins guarding the front yard chased him.

Mo Junhao's ability to ride a horse was one and the same, and the inn disappeared in front of the two of them in three or two times.

Shi Qingxue looked back, and could only vaguely see red light, and the road ahead was dark.

She resigned herself to holding Mo Junhao still, but after a while, she felt that something was wrong again-

The group of Assassins had clearly caught up!

Qingxue raised her head, just in front of Mo Junhao's heavy eyes, and they all saw worry in the other party's eyes, and the future was uncertain.

"We ......"

Mo Junhao hesitated for a while.

Shi Qingxue immediately spoke: "Go to the left, I heard the sound of water, it should be a river." ”

Mo Junhao didn't understand how a river was an escape route, but he still ran to the left as the thing said.

The two rode some distance on horseback, and they really saw a rushing river, and they followed the direction in which it flowed.

Three sharp arrows broke through the air and flew straight towards them, Mo Junhao waved his long sword and dropped two arrows in his crotch, but the direction of the last arrow was low and shot on the horse's leg.

"Noise!"

The horse let out a tragic scream, the center of gravity tilted, and Mo Junhao had to hold Shi Qingxue and abandon the horse and land.

The two rolled in a circle, barely regaining their footing, but four or five Assassins had caught up behind them, surrounding them.

Mo Junhao firmly protected Shi Qingxue in his arms and swung his sword to resist the attacks of the assassins.

After nearly a quarter of an hour of the handover of blades, both of them understood: this group of people came completely to rush Shi Qingxue, and they had no intention of hurting Mo Junhao.

At this time, as long as Mo Junhao puts down Qingxue, he can get out of the whole body.

Mo Junhao's body has been 'mistakenly scratched' with several scars, and even Shi Qingxue felt that the other party was probably going to give up, and Mo Junhao just killed a bloody way out as if he didn't want to die.

"Take a breath!"

As soon as the admonition fell, Mo Junhao plunged into the turbulent river with Shi Qingxue in his arms and disappeared all at once.

The only three remaining Assassins on the shore were dumbfounded.

The man at the head was so angry that he slapped the fat man in the face and scolded angrily: "Bastard! The master said that as long as Shi Qingxue lives alone, who will allow you to kill His Royal Highness? ”

The fat man covered his face and said aggrievedly: "But you have also seen that the strength of the fourth highness to protect the calf just now, I would rather be injured than ......."

Before he finished speaking, the other side of his face was slapped heavily, "If something happens to His Royal Highness, your ten heads will not be enough to compensate!" ”

The short man next to him hurriedly said, "The Fourth Highness is strong in martial arts, and he has not been seriously injured, so he should be safe and sound." However, Shi Qingxue is a little girl who doesn't know martial arts, in such a turbulent river, she will definitely die, should we go downstream to pick up His Royal Highness Ji Si first, and bring Qingxue to collect the body at that time? ”

The boss glanced at the short man, didn't say a word for a while, and pondered in his heart: That's what he said, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accident, if the four highnesses are really injured, they will definitely die; In other words, the four highnesses are safe and sound, let the other party know that they are the culprits, is it possible to give them good fruits to eat?

After thinking about it, he coughed, "We assassinated Shi Qingxue all the way according to the master's intentions just now, but His Royal Highness insisted on protecting Shi Qingxue and escaped with Shi Qingxue." That's what happened today, do you understand? ”

The other two were stunned, and the fat man wanted to say something, but the short man stepped on him, and hurriedly responded: "The subordinates understand, everything is as the boss said." ”

"Alright, let's go back and get back to life!" The boss looked at the rapid river again and led the two to walk back.

——

Three days ago, in a hidden forest at the foot of Qingluo Mountain, the Shi family army camped here.

"We have camped here for more than half a month, but several attacks have either been blocked by the encirclement of Qingluo Mountain, or the way has been played by the strange formations in the mountain, and now the emperor has issued three holy decrees in succession, asking us to take Qingluo Mountain within a month, how can this be good?"

Liu Caishu, the deputy general of the Shi Jiajun, sighed and sighed, his face full of sorrow.

Another deputy general, Fu Chuan, was also more anxious than Liu Caishu: "The emperor doesn't understand the situation in Qingluo Mountain and is still struggling with each other, we are not ready to do anything and force us to attack the mountain, it is not his soldiers who are working together, and he is not a loss for this loss, is it?" ”

"Alright, stop complaining." Shi Junhe lightly interrupted the words of the two, and his eyes fell on the topographic map, "At the moment, there are more than 10,000 people on our side, and it is easy to take down a group of bandits, even if the opponent's defense facilities are impregnable, we have good talents to break, only those five elements formation is extremely treacherous and difficult to overcome." ”

He pondered for a moment, and then said: "I have already ordered someone to send a message to my friend Shang Jian in Fancheng yesterday, this person is proficient in Qimen Dunjia, if he can come, Qingluo Mountain can be broken." ”

"Merchant?" Wen Ren repeated in a low voice, and his drooping eyes could not hide their complexity.

Shi Junhe thought he hadn't remembered for a while, and explained with a smile: "Chi'er, you should have heard of this person's name, right?" I, Shang Ping, and your father are all close friends, but he is used to being idle, and he has long hid in Fancheng to live in seclusion, and he easily refuses to come out.

Speaking of which, he is closer to your father, and I did not think for a moment that it would be more appropriate for you to write to him. ”

His original intention was to hope that Wen Renchi could keep in touch with his late father's friends, and there were many ways out.

Wen Renchi listened to his words, was silent for a moment, and really responded: "Then I will send someone to send a letter to Uncle Shang." ”

Shi Junhe felt that it was indispensable to think about it, so he asked Wen Renchi to do it, and he continued to discuss the military situation with Liu Caishu.

Wen Renchi quickly arranged everything, and the people he sent out were familiar with the terrain, and they might be able to get to Fancheng faster than the previous messenger.

Late at night, outside the camp, he stood quietly for a long time facing the direction of Fancheng, until his legs were a little numb, he sighed heavily, turned around and walked back.

Suddenly there was a sound of horses roaring behind him, and as soon as he turned around, he saw his subordinates who had stayed in Kyoto hurriedly jumping off their horses and kneeling in front of him, "Master, something happened." ”

As he spoke, he handed a letter to Wen Renchi.

Wen Renchi opened it and saw that his originally somewhat solemn face completely turned dark, he suppressed his anger and asked, "When did this happen?" ”

"I'm afraid it's been three or four days, and when my subordinates received the news, they immediately ordered people to visit the whole city unannounced, and there was no news, but it was confirmed that the person was no longer in Shifu, and the subordinates immediately came to report......

Wen Ren's fists trembled with anger, and the letter paper had been crumpled into a lump of slag by him, "Useless thing!" A big living person can't take care of it, do you know what she's doing? ”

The person who was scolded knew that he was derelict in his duties, and he didn't have a temper at all, so he didn't dare to hide it at all, "The Duchess of Guo completely concealed this matter, and not many people knew, but the subordinates heard that the Duchess of Guo had sent someone to guard the south gate for a day, so the subordinates dared to guess that someone was probably coming......"

Wen Renzhi's heart seemed to have been hit hard by something, and he hurriedly closed his eyes before he reluctantly suppressed his emotions and listened to the other party continue.

"It's just that the subordinates rushed all the way to Qingluo Mountain, and they didn't find any traces, so they can't be sure of ......"

"Alright, no need to say it." When he heard that he didn't find anyone, he didn't have the patience to listen any further, waved his hand to let people go down, and he walked quickly back to the general's tent.

There was only one person left in the camp tent, and as soon as he entered, Shi Junhe just looked up.

Both of them saw anxiety and worry in each other's eyes, and spoke at the same time.

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

They were all stunned for a moment, and then said

"You speak first!"

"Say it first!"

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Wen Renchi, who had always been humble, couldn't hold his breath at first, and said in a dumb voice: "Qingxue ran away from home, her whereabouts are unknown, and she may be rushing here." ”

"What?" Shi Junhe was taken aback and scolded angrily: "How can this be? What is she doing running to the battlefield when she has nothing to do? Isn't this nonsense?! ”

But then he felt that something was wrong, "How do you know? ”

The expression on Wen Renzhi's face froze, his lips opened and closed a few times, and he couldn't speak.

He is not used to lying to Shi Junhe, but he also has no way to explain the news that even Shi Junhe doesn't know, why can he know first?

However, when Shi Junhe saw him like this, his heart softened, and he didn't ask again, but took the initiative to say: "Just now, the emperor sent three holy decrees in a row, asking us to act as soon as possible. ”

Wen Ren frowned, and said in embarrassment: "In the first three attacks, we have already lost 20% of our troops, and if we attack rashly, it is difficult to have a chance of victory." ”

Where would Shi Junhe not know this truth, but the holy decree was in front of him, and the messenger who delivered the decree was outside, if Shi Jiajun didn't make a little movement, it would be a proper disobedience.

"Tomorrow I will organize an elite team of thirty people, and you will lead them to try to attack the mountain from the side cliff again."

Wen Renchi nodded silently, not paying attention to the danger of this mission at all, but said: "Qingxue, do you need to send more people to find it along the road?" I'm worried that she's a girl, and what if there's danger along the way. ”

The worry in his eyes was real, even more than his concern for his own safety, Shi Junhe couldn't help but be moved, but he could only analyze calmly on his face: "Since that girl can avoid being tracked by many parties, she must have used some method, don't try to find someone if she goes to look for it now." If she really came to Qingluo Mountain, then we just have to wait here, and she will appear sooner or later. ”

As he spoke, his face was completely confident, and he was sure that Shi Qingxue would definitely be able to get here.

Wen Renchi didn't continue, turned around and went down to arrange tomorrow's mountain attack.
