The climate of the Hongque Plain grassland is very obvious, usually dry and hot, it rains wet and cold, and the weather changes from uncertain, like yesterday it was cloudless, and it began to rain heavily early this morning.

There was a brazier burning in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the crackling sound of burning wood was occasionally heard, and the few people gathered in front of the case looked attentive and did not hear it at all, only concentrating on the small drawings.

"The eye of the Iron Swallow Array is here," the green white fingertips tapped somewhere in the dot matrix diagram, "The two wings of the swallow wings are composed of well-equipped cavalry, and the range of activities is very wide, the swallow body is made of heavy shields as the outer layer, the inner layer is the spearmen, and the heavily protected swallow heart is the formation eye, where the command center is located." This formation requires an extremely large number of people, and the swallow-winged cavalry is quite physically demanding, so it is rarely used. The Huoluo River Clan's natural brute strength and the fact that all the people are soldiers, it is very suitable to use the Iron Swallow Array, if our army wants to break through the defense line, it must destroy the swallow wings and smash the Yellow Dragon, and the time cannot be delayed too long. ”

Bai Qige's explanation was concise and detailed, and Liang Gong and several people who joined the army quickly understood, and their faces that had been frowning for many days also had a hint of brightness. Taking a deep breath, Liang Gong, who was usually reckless but always performed well at critical moments, frowned and pointed to the formation map: "A few days ago, I led people to test the cavalry part of the Holo River, they are all strong soldiers wearing iron armor and holding ring knives, and there are many other weapons on the mounts, every time we get close, there will be many spears and cold arrows, and when we are busy defending, they will be attacked by fierce and abnormal cavalry, and they really have no power to fight back." ”

"The Iron Swallow Array is criss-crossed, the swallow wings are highly flexible, and it is even more difficult to quickly impact the formation eye under pressure, and the princess can have a specific plan to break the formation."

"In the book, it is said that if you want to break the iron swallow and have to shoot in three directions, first tie the swallow's wings and then pierce the heart, I think it should be to trap the cavalry with a team led by defense, and then use the elite soldiers to line up in a column to penetrate the meaning of the swallow's body, what other ideas do the seniors have." Bai Qige looked up and asked.

Several lieutenant generals joined the army, you look at me, I look at you, shook their heads and said no, and then their eyes focused on Yi Chenjing, the chief general who had been silent.

Yi Chenjing, who was holding his chin with his fingers interlaced, didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes looked at the array, but his face had an extremely obvious distracted expression. How can the general's mind not be on the battlefield? Chen An coughed lightly and glanced at Liang Gong, but Liang Gong was born dull, and looked at Chen An with a blank expression, Chen An had to shake his hand in front of Yi Chenjing: "General." What advice does the general have? ”

"What." Yi Chenjing finally came back to his senses, and after realizing that he was distracted, he smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry, I didn't have a good rest last night." I've seen this array before you came, and I can't find a better way to do it, so if you don't have any suggestions, you can only arrange the formation according to the book. ”

"There must be no sloppiness in warfare, and caution must be exercised." Bai Qige reminded softly.

Chen An nodded and said: "Anyway, it rains today and we can't send troops, so the general might as well think about it again, General Liang and I will go to rectify the three armies first and prepare for the battle." ”

Everyone can see that Yi Chenjing is absent-minded today, going to the battlefield is either you die or I live, no one is willing to joke with their lives, yes, they all opened their mouths to persuade Yi Chenjing to postpone the sending of troops, Yi Chenjing also knew that he was not in a good state, so he simply ordered the three armies to fight hard and wait for a good time to find a good time to send troops after the weather clears.

Waving his hand to let everyone stand back, Yi Chenjing rubbed his forehead tiredly, after arguing with Bai Qige yesterday, he had been sitting in the Zhongjun tent until now, and his whole head was in chaos.

"Take care of your health, the general is about to officially start the war, if you fall ill, who will command the three armies."

Raising his eyebrows and looking up, it was Chen An who opened his mouth to persuade with a worried face.

Yi Chenjing avoided talking about the kind persuasion, and asked Chen An, who stayed in the tent and did not leave with the others: "Why haven't you left, is there something wrong?" ”

"The general forgot, you said you were going to interrogate those people again today." Chen An suddenly knelt down and bowed his head deeply, "The subordinates are not doing well, please be guilty of the general." ”

Yi Chenjing then remembered that the thirty people who pretended to be patrol soldiers to attack Bai Qige sneak attack, although he asked a few words yesterday, he didn't believe them all, and asked Chen An to continue to torture him when he left. Seeing Chen An kneeling on one knee and speaking guilty, Yi Chenjing intuitively realized that there was probably another accident.

"Something to say."

"That's the case, last night my subordinates ordered someone to lock them in a cage and send someone to guard them closely, but ......" Chen An swallowed his saliva and buried his head lower, "I went to see it this morning, and those people all bit their tongues and committed suicide,"

didn't seem surprised by this, Yi Chenjing just closed his eyes and was silent for a while, and then opened his eyes and was still indifferent: "Death is death, since you are a dead soldier, no matter how you torture you, you can't get an answer." ”

Bai Qige, who also didn't leave with everyone, was very unhappy with his reaction, and originally wanted to talk to him about some side effects, but he was not in the mood at all. opened the curtain and wanted to leave, but Yi Chenjing suddenly spoke: "Chen joins the army and goes down for the time being." Qige, you wait. ”

Chen An nodded and withdrew, showing a wry smile outside the tent, and standing gloomily in the rain without putting on his coat.

During the period from stepping into the Chinese army's tent to leaving, Yi Chenjing and Bai Qige didn't talk for a word, and they didn't even look at each other, which was completely different from the previous scene of affection, it felt as if there was an invisible barrier between them, and they didn't seem to have any intention of breaking it.

"Sure enough, you can't beat the five princes, and you're scheming." Talking to himself was swallowed by the sound of the wind and rain, and his not old face showed the vicissitudes of life that only people who have gone through ups and downs, and when he was soaked by the rain, he sighed and put on his coat and walked to the camp where he lived.

It's just a chess piece, whether it's the dazzling princess or the princess, he can't be freed from rolling in the quagmire for their own purposes, just like the person who waits for his reply in the tent, no matter how arrogant he is, he is still a tool to be restrained by others, and that's it.

The sound of ticking rain made Yi Chenjing a little irritable, it was too noisy outside and too quiet inside the tent, so quiet that even his breathing could be heard clearly.

"Fortunately with you, otherwise I don't know how long I would have been dragged by this Iron Yan Array." After a long silence, the mouth was meaningless nonsense.

"It's a matter of duty."

Yi Chenjing's tasteless answer made Yi Chenjing speechless, and Bai Qige when he was angry was like a dumb pill, holding everything he wanted to say in his stomach and not releasing it, apologetic or gentle persuasion, all frozen by her indifference. Carefully put away the Broken Formation Diagram and walked to Bai Qige's side, and after a little hesitation, the palm that had been raised by half an inch was finally put down silently, only a stone's throw away from the fingertips that were always cold and pale.

And it's just a stone's throw away, like a chasm.

"Yesterday I said something I shouldn't have said on impulse, I have no intention of slandering your second brother, it's good that you can understand this."

Bai Qige didn't answer, stubbornly turned his back to Yi Chenjing's face, and his thin shoulders slowly rose and fell with his breathing: "How to say that it is your freedom, how to think that it is my freedom, everything has been said, why bother to explain afterwards." ”

"I don't believe everything those people say, that's why I let Chen An continue to torture. But you also heard that all thirty of them had killed themselves by biting their tongues, and they couldn't ask any more questions. ”

"You don't think it's weird."

"Naturally, I feel weird." Yi Chenjing nodded, "Yesterday, Su Jinyan's vicious attack and Yi Chenxuan's threats and intimidation, many of those people expressed their submission, how could they all become dead soldiers who did not hesitate to defend their secrets with their lives overnight." If it weren't for Yi Chenxuan making trouble behind, then there must be someone else secretly plotting against him. ”

first pretended to confess and splashed dirty water on Bai Haocheng's body, and then bit his tongue and committed suicide to die without proof. Or maybe those people weren't suicidal at all, but for some other reason. In short, this sudden suicide incident is both beneficial and unfavorable to Bai Haocheng, it all depends on what Yi Chenjing thinks.

Sighing slightly, he turned around, and all the indifference he deliberately made was removed, Bai Qige looked up at Yi Chenjing, his tired face was distressing: "The matter is over, there is no need to mention it again, the villain's Taoist makes people sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman." His gaze swept over the slender blood mark on Qingjun's cheek and subconsciously avoided it, and the conversation changed again: "I met with Su Jinyan after you left yesterday, and we had a few simple conversations, and he didn't seem to be willing to help Yi Chenxuan with abuse." By the way, he also gave me two bottles of medicine, saying that Yi Chenxuan was going to rush back to the imperial capital soon, and he was afraid that he would poison and assassinate him, so the medicine is here. ”

I took the medicine bottle and opened it to sniff, it was light and tasteless. Yi Chenjing's eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Can Su Jinyan be trusted?" He has been under Yi Chenxuan for so many years, and he should be the most trusted confidant, and I am worried that this is another trap. ”

"As early as when he was in the palace, he was obedient to Yi Chenxuan, do you remember that time I was robbed by Yi Chenxuan, it was he who asked Mrs. Qi to go to the dust Xuan to report the news, and in the room he tried to save me out, but unfortunately Yi Chenxuan saw through and stopped him. I always feel that he has to serve Yi Chenxuan for some reason, and it is reasonable for Yi Chenxuan to treat him like that, and he is resentful. ”

Bai Qige is not unreasonable, recalling that he has fought openly and secretly with Yi Chenxuan several times, Su Jinyan has always been a vacant existence in the middle, and on the surface, he seems to be Yi Chenxuan's loyal minions, but secretly he has done a lot of things that contradict and conflict with the master's wishes, such as giving Bai Qige abortion pills behind Yi Chenxuan's back, and being indifferent when Bai Qige slapped Yi Chenxuan.

"Assuming that Su Jinyan has a handle in Yi Chenxuan's hands, so he has to act as a subordinate, so he can explain everything." After thinking for a moment, Yi Chenjing's brows tightened, "However, I still can't trust him." Qige, did Su Jinyan chase and kill you in the past few days when you fled to Lingyun City with Bai Haoyu. ”

After returning to the Yaojun camp, Bai Qige, who was busy and busy, almost forgot about being chased and killed by Su Jinyan, and after Yi Chenjing asked, he was also confused in his heart, nodded and fell into contemplation.

Whether Su Jinyan wants to help them or hurt them.

If it was a gang, why did he chase and kill her repeatedly, and resolutely gave up after Su Buqi came forward.

If so, then what are the previous secret helps? Yi Chenxuan would never give an order to let him destroy his good deeds as a pastime.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Qige felt that everything was like a mess, and he couldn't sort it out, and he was even more vaguely aware that he was gradually losing his calm and patience to peel off the cocoon, and he couldn't find the way forward in the fog, so he not only couldn't help Yi Chenjing, but would drag him down.

The sound of rain outside the tent was still the same, and the two people standing opposite each other had their own thoughts, and they spoke at the same time, but only one of them finished speaking.

"Qige, you still ......"

"Yi Chenjing, we'd better be apart for a while."
