Chapter 276: Fighting in the Dark

The Huanshui River is turbulent and steep, the ferry is difficult to navigate, and has always relied on suspension bridges to get to and fro, and the only ferry crossing was built by a county magistrate in a neighboring county decades ago, when a large amount of gold and silver was raised to build a large ship to withstand the fierce water. However, the ship had been eroded by wind and rain and finally rotted a few years ago, and then there was only a lonely ferry on the north bank of the Huanshui River without a ferry, and the captain was long gone, leaving only a dilapidated wooden house standing on the shore.

The place where Bai Qige went to the appointment in the letter was here.

According to the agreement, only the main general of the two sides came to the appointment, and no soldiers of either side were allowed to step into the area within a radius of one mile. When the grain and grass were robbed, Bai Qige had a brief contact with the other party's main general, Lu Feidu, and her impression of him was not bad, and she did not have too many doubts about the identity of the person invited as Ning Xizui, and the few doubts raised by Ning Xidrunk were actually groundless and untenable, very reluctant, in Bai Qige's understanding, it was just an excuse for her friends not to want her to take risks, so except for some Guangshu troops a mile away, they did not place people nearby.

The lonely wooden houses are quiet and silent, and the ferry crossing is quiet, and the large open space is uninhabited. Walking alone to the wooden house at the ferry, the river breeze brought by the turbulent water was wet, and when he walked to the door, Bai Qige still hesitated slightly.

An Lingguo only robbed the grain and grass but did not hurt a single soldier of the Guang Garrison Army, Lu Feidu also said that the lord of An Ling intended to recruit An and would not kill her for the time being, so her safety was somewhat guaranteed, and the raid on the scout camp that took away nearly 200 people and sent a few days later to cut off his hand, does it mean that the other party is impatient to wait for a reply, or is he putting pressure on her, if it is the latter, then the lord of An Ling is not a decent gentleman, and he must be extremely careful in dealing with it.

Calmly pushed open the door, and the rotten and damp air of the wooden house that had been abandoned for many years came to my face. Because the small window was sealed by wooden strips, even at noon, the house was still dark, and the eyes that were accustomed to the light outside suddenly entered the darkness and couldn't see anything clearly, so Bai Qige had to hold his breath and listen carefully.

"I made an appointment for three o'clock in the afternoon, but now it's less than two o'clock, and I really keep my promise." There was a faint male voice in the darkness, and just listening to this voice Bai Qige knew that the person in the room was not Lu Feidu.

"I don't know who Your Excellency is, the person who asked me to meet today should be General An Lingguo Lu, right," said in a deep voice, Bai Qige lured the man to continue talking, trying to follow the voice to identify where the speaker was.

"Lu Feidu is just a reckless general who leads his troops to fight, how can he do such an important thing as Zhao'an," the man's tone was very disdainful, and the word "Zhao'an" was strangely harsh when he said it. After answering Bai Qige's question, there was silence in the room for a while, and in the silence, a cluster of flames lit up, and finally ended the oppressive darkness, and the man continued what he just said: "I am the king of Anling country, and I heard that Princess Qi'an is a woman who is brave and good at fighting, so he specially ordered me to come and ask, and ask Princess Qi'an if she is willing to come to my Anling country to serve,"

The eyes that were just about to adapt to the darkness were stabbed by the candlelight again, Bai Qige subconsciously avoided the light, and quickly glanced at the person standing in the corner when he turned his head sideways, and the corners of his mouth raised a silent sneer.

Sure enough, Ning Xi was drunk more thoughtful than her, and had a pair of vicious eyes.

How many people know the name of Princess Qi'an, when he married Yaoguo, King Zhaomin hurriedly gave her the title, and after Da Yao became Yi Chenjing's wife, everyone else called her the princess, even if Emperor Yao removed her concubine some time ago, there are very few people who call her so. There are very few people in the palace of Yaoguo who still remember this name, in the distant border, in the sudden rise of Anling Kingdom, if the lord of Anling Kingdom really cares about her military talent, then the focus should be on her status as a general rather than the princess of Zhaoguo.

Ninety percent of the people who claim to be the chief general of Anling Country and keep saying that they are ordered to recruit her are probably pretended to be by others, and it is very likely that the mastermind behind the scenes is very familiar with her.

Bai Qige, who found the clues, did not run away immediately, she needed to understand the purpose of this person, it would be better if she could find out the mastermind behind the scenes, the harem of the previous dynasty was in full danger, and any person or force that might threaten Yi Chenjing could not be let go, and it must be completely destroyed.

The man didn't realize that he had been exposed, and he was still arrogant and long-winded: "Princess Qi'an is a descendant of the Bai family, a natural general, and it is really a tyrannical thing to not be used in the remote country. If Princess Qi'an is willing to submit to my Anling, the position of the general of the first product will belong to you, and at that time, the three armies will be swept away and the reputation will be far and wide, wouldn't it add more prestige to the Bai family,"

"Since you know that I am a descendant of the Bai family, then Your Excellency has no reason not to know the current situation of the Bai family, once I betray Yaoguo, I will only get my family implicated, it is too unworthy. If your country has the power to rescue the Bai family from the control of the remote country, maybe I will ......"

Bai Qige deliberately said half and half left, the man did not doubt him, and there was a hint of joy in his tone: "This is easy to say, this is easy to say." As long as Princess Qi'an signs the letter of surrender, I will immediately send someone to Zhaoguo to protect the Bai family. As he spoke, he put the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in place, and the man's actions could not be described as impatient, and the thief's eyebrows and eyes were completely exposed to the light: "It's useless to delay, Princess Qi'an will write a letter of sincerity here, and the pen and ink have already been prepared." ”

"No hurry, I still have something to ask." Bai Qige stood with his hands in his hands, and his smile was indifferent, "Your Excellency said that you want to send troops to Zhaoguo, I don't know how many elite generals under An Ling dare to say this, there are two troops stationed there, Zhaoguo and Yaoguo, it is not convincing to casually boast about Haikou." ”

The man was speechless, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Our army has 8,000 elite soldiers, all of whom are skilled and brave, enough to resist 100,000 horses in the distant country. ”

"Heh, do you need to add a few more people to one enemy and ten," Bai Qige sneered, no longer hiding the mockery, "Put down the letter of surrender for the time being, and ask Your Excellency to go back and tell you Princess Yanluo, her little trick is as childish and ridiculous as before, don't take it out and be embarrassed." ”

"W-What Princess Yanluo, I don't know what you're talking about."

The man's face changed drastically and he denied it, and his happy expression turned into annoyance and anger for a moment, but it made Bai Qige even more determined in his guess.

Princess Qi'an, eight thousand elite soldiers, aren't these all Ruan Yanluo's tone, that woman left honestly after stirring up the troubled waters in the imperial capital of Yaoguo, and it turned out that she learned that she was named the general of Guangshu and came to the south to rebel, so the trick on this side came. It's a pity that Ruan Yanluo doesn't understand military affairs no matter how good he is, how can a small country with a population of only 100,000 and a few thousand soldiers understand how ridiculous it is to have 8,000 enemies and 100,000, let alone Bai Qige, who has already been in contact with the lord of Anling, to know so much, it is impossible for the far-sighted lord of Anling to send troops to Zhaoguo.

Today's Zhaoguo has no remote army stationed, and the person who commanded the three armies to protect the water town Zeguo is the second son of the Bai family who loves Bai Qige the most, known as the god of war and the famous general of Zhongzhou who makes the enemy fearful, Bai Haocheng.

Bai Qige did not hesitate to believe that there was absolutely no one in this world who wanted to defeat the second brother with the same strength, even the lord of the Anling Kingdom who only heard of his name.

Seeing that the disguise was seen through by Bai Qige, the man's fierce face was revealed, and he laughed and waved his hand, and the rotten wooden house wall panels made a dull sound one after another, and nearly ten burly men with weapons jumped out from behind the wall. Bai Qige had an epiphany, these people hid behind the wall with the wooden planks they had added early in the morning, in order to prevent her from discovering the difference in the thickness of the wall, so they sealed the window and did not light the lamp.

"Princess Qi'an thought I didn't know that you arranged for people to lay an ambush a mile away last night, hmph, the invitation was proposed by me, and I will guard against your hands. Let's be honest, two days ago, I had already laid a net around the sky and the earth just waiting for you to drill, and now you have no way to ascend to heaven and no way to enter the earth, the only choice is to write a letter of surrender, not only to save your own life but also to exchange for more than 100 lives of your remote army. If you don't want to......" The man sneered and winked, and immediately a person who was holding a sword soldier stepped forward, and the snow light was bright and cold and pointed directly at Bai Qige.

Bai Qige's face was fearless, and the hand behind him was raised, and the Cuihuang Sword left a dazzling light in the eyes of everyone.

"Then it depends on whether you have the ability to do this."

Suddenly he broke the stalemate in the wooden house, and the short sword that struck straight through the lampstand knocked over the lampstand, and the lamp oil was scattered all over the ground, and the firelight also rose along the way, and the crimson flame rolled the tongue of fire to drive away the darkness, reflecting the agile figure like a dragon.

There are many enemies in the small wooden house, which seems to be extremely unfavorable to Bai Qige, but in fact the situation is the opposite, the other party is tall and close to ten people, and she is petite and agile and alone, and she can hurt the enemy with a wave of her hand; On the other hand, the other party is embarrassed, and the long knife and long sword are cut like that, either accidentally injuring the accomplice, or the action is too large and hinders the action of others. In short, the group that obviously took advantage of it was limited by space, and helplessly became a group that suffered losses.

After evading the attack several times, Bai Qige still decided to move the gladiatorial arena outside the house, and he couldn't stay in the house all the time waiting for his physical strength to be slaughtered. Having made up his mind, he quickly dodged another wave of attacks and crushed the wax pill with force, and then dodged under the shoulders of a person, and the figure went straight to the bright place outside.

The sky was overcast, and the light was not dazzling, but Bai Qige didn't have time to enjoy the scenery in the south, except for the people who were ambushed in the wooden house, there were also people outside waiting for her to appear.

This is the so-called heaven and earth net, which is really simple enough.

Seeing a group of enemies crawling out of the underground tunnel, Bai Qige's chin was slightly raised and he smiled contemptuously, and retreated in the direction of the ferry step by step. Behind the crossing was the meandering banks and the rushing river, and the sound of the water rushing came from the drop of more than one person, and it was hard to imagine how many people had sunk under the roaring river.

"Princess Qi'an is a smart person, why don't you even want your life for a letter of surrender, you see that the river is so fast and big, you can't die if you jump down." Seeing that Bai Qige was forcing himself to a dead end, the man couldn't help but smile and persuaded without sincerity.

"Since my aunt and grandmother dare to come, will I still be afraid of your nets," stepping on the edge of the ferry, feeling the moist river breeze roaring behind him, Bai Qige actually gave birth to a bit of arrogance for no reason, and laughed loudly in the tone of Qiao Qingxu in the past.

Surrounded by the approaching enemy, Bai Qige spread his arms, raised his head and fell backwards.
