Walking along the road into the valley, I only watched the green grass grow wildly around meadows, thick and soft on the endless ground, and the horses' hooves trampled on it almost inaudible.

The air was filled with an indescribable, sweet and rancid smell mixed with a fishy smell, which made people sick.

After walking for a while, the smell became stronger and stronger, and I faintly saw that there were many corpses on the side of the road, hidden in the dense grass, and the smell of blood and rancid smell filled the whole valley.

It was a terrible thing after the Great War.

Along the river, the abundant aquatic plants cover up the unbearable, but they can't hide the blood flowing down the river, presenting us with the purgatory-like war that once happened here.

I only glanced at it, and my face turned pale, and when I looked back, I saw Liu Qinghan holding Li'er in his arms, holding the reins with one hand, and subconsciously blocking this side of Li'er's face, covering her vision. His action reminded me of when I was in Shengjing, and I also protected Prince Yang Chu like this, and I couldn't help but be very grateful to him.

It's just that it's not time to relax.

Skirting the hill ahead, you will see a tent.

Nian Baoyu is the terrain here is very dangerous, the surrounding mountains and mountains will enclose a huge valley in the middle, a river crosses the east and west, and gathers into a mirror-like lake in the middle, before Pei Yuanfeng garrisoned the lake, but also stationed a lot of people and horses in the surrounding mountain roads, but now it seems that his men and horses have been completely cleaned up, and the people of the East Chahe Department are shrinking the encirclement little by little, and now, it should have surrounded the valley inside.

The more I walked, the tighter my brow furrowed.

The mountain roads here are winding and rugged, even if you are here, you may not be able to figure out the terrain, Pei Yuanfeng is here to deploy troops, and he also takes a fancy to this, but why is it so clean?

This is obviously an advantage, but why does it seem that it has become a disadvantage now?

With such doubts and an extremely heavy heart, we walked all the way, and in a short time we arrived at the gate of their camp.

It was a huge camp, with sharp fences erected on both sides, like the fangs of wild beasts, ready to meet the enemy; The gate was four or five feet high, and on either side were towering watchtowers, which were guarded by heavily armed soldiers. As soon as we got off our horses, the gate slowly opened from the inside, and there was a long, dull roar, and we saw a wide and deep avenue leading to the largest tent, and the soldiers on both sides were fighting fiercely, and their eyes were not squinting, but their hands were all held on the hilt of the long knife that straddled diagonally, and there was a thick murderous aura.

As soon as we stood still, a group of soldiers came up and led us in.

After entering the camp, a group of people came first, placed the eighteen cavalry of Anyang to the other side, and then let us go to meet their general, I thought about it, or let Liu Qinghan stay with Li'er, he didn't say anything, just hugged Li'er and followed those people calmly.

Watching his back disappear in front of me, I turned around and walked into the largest tent with Yuan Xiu.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, you could see the wind blowing dust in the sun, and the tent in front of me was wide and heavy, but the light seemed a little dim, only the pillar of light at the door sprinkled on the ground, stretching to the deepest part of the tent.

Following the light, I slowly looked over, and saw a burly, bearded, and black iron tower sitting on the main seat in front of me.

The weather was very hot, this man only put a piece of animal skin and cloth on his body and sewed it together, I don't know what style of gown, showing strong muscles, thick beard, some slight curls, almost unable to see his facial features, only feel that this person's age is not young, at least fifty years away, but the age has not weakened his courage and might, especially those eyes, like hunting beasts, shining with essence and fierce light, particularly bright.

He stared at me like a black bear staring at its prey.

"Miss Yan?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, it was as if a thunderbolt had suddenly struck in the clear sky, and it shook people's ears to buzz. I was shocked, but I quickly calmed down and stared at him for a while: "General Kumuhan? ”

He looked me up and down a few more times, opened his mouth and smiled, revealing his snow-white teeth: "General Ben has heard of you a long time ago. ”

"Oh?"

I was a little surprised.

The name of the eldest lady of the Yan family, in addition to being useful in Shudi, is actually out of Xichuan, and it is nothing. I didn't expect that even the general of the Eastern Chahe Department knew about me.

I don't know if it's an honor.

Kumuhan glanced at me again, his eyes seemed to be smiling, with a bit of exploration, and as if he was thinking about something, which seemed a little complicated.

I'm not used to being looked at like this, and I can't help but frown.

He laughed a little, and then said, "I heard that you married a rebel." ”

My heart moved, and I glanced back at Pei Yuanxiu.

Since entering the big tent, he has been very calm, only silently looking around, when he heard this, he moved his eyes back from the side, looked at Kumuhan, and smiled: "The general's words, I don't understand it very well." ”

"Hahahaha," Kumuhan erupted into a thunderous laugh that shook the entire tent as if it were trembling. He laughed and stood up and walked towards us, this person was already very strong when he was sitting, and this one was even more burly, like a mountain standing in front of him, the fierce murderous aura on his body was particularly compelling, I couldn't help frowning slightly, and I felt Pei Yuanxiu next to me pinch my wrist and drag me behind him.

Then he stepped forward and confronted Kumuhan.

Pei Yuanxiu's figure is tall, but when he is paired with him, he looks much shorter.

Kumuhan said: "I don't like to beat around the bush when I speak. If you want to rebel, I want to march, we will be able to get twice the result with half the effort! ”

My breath choked.

What did he say?!

Rebel? Enter?

My heart was stabbed hard by these two words, and the haze that had been suppressed in my heart suddenly rose.

Pei Yuanxiu stood in front of me, I couldn't see the look on his face, I only felt that he seemed to smile, and there was a little smile in his voice: "Where are you going to march?" ”

"Naturally, it's the Central Plains!"

"Then, why did the general fight with the Shu soldiers in Nian Baoyuze?"

Hu Muhan smiled: "If the Shu soldiers are united with us, we don't have to fight." ”

As he spoke, Hu Muhan took a step to the side and looked at me, who was standing behind Pei Yuanxiu, who was already a little pale: "Miss Yan, did you say yes?" ”

The hand I was holding by Pei Yuanxiu was already covered with cold sweat, but I still reluctantly made an "unfathomable" smile: "What does the general mean—"

Kumuhan looked at us and was about to speak, when suddenly, a voice sounded from behind us—

"Our army entered the Central Plains, but it was blocked at Hehuang, and in the north, there was another Losh who was really difficult. If the Shu army can cooperate with us, and our two families will jointly send troops and advance all the way from the southwest, we will definitely be able to catch the Central Plains Imperial Court by surprise, and wait until that time-"

Pei Yuanxiu and I were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned around, only to see a person walking in from outside the tent.

The sun was in full bloom, shining on the man's body, outlining the same strong and tall outline, and when he got closer, we saw that it was also a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a high nose and deep eyes, and the color of the pupils was very light, and there was an almost transparent amber-like texture in the sun. Compared with Kumuhan, this person has a bit of a gloomy aura, especially those eyes, when staring at people, it makes people very uncomfortable.

He walked to us and glanced at Pei Yuanxiu again: "You are the lord of Jiangnan, and if you march north, is there still a reason why you can't take it in the Central Plains?" ”

Pei Yuanxiu frowned slightly: "You are-"

The man hooked his chin at him: "Down, Zhanzhen." ”

Occupy the truth!

When leaving Nian Baoyuze, Pei Yuanfeng once mentioned this person, in the army of the Eastern Chahe Division, he is not a very good general, but this person is good at attacking cities and conquering strong, Pei Yuanfeng said before, if it is just Kumuhan coming, maybe the situation is not so bad, if Zhan really appears, it means that the ambition of the Eastern Chahe Department is not only limited to fighting in the northwest, then his third brother's throne will not be stable!

It's just, what I didn't expect is-

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but clench Pei Yuanxiu's hand.

As if sensing my panic and helplessness, Yuan Xiu glanced at me, didn't speak, and still turned his head to Zhan Zhen: "Long Yang." ”

"We have long heard of you."

"Hopefully not infamous."

"Hehe, what kind of reputation depends on how people spread it. If you achieve great things, can anyone spread your notoriety? ”

Pei Yuanxiu's eyes sank, and after a while, he smiled: "It makes sense." ”

I grabbed his hand, almost spasmodic.

But he still didn't move.

At this time, Zhan Zhen and Kumuhan both turned their heads to look at me: "Miss Yan, what do you think?" ”

My face turned a little pale: "What...... What do you think? ”

Zhan Zhen seemed to sneer, and when he looked at me, his eyes deepened a little more, and said, "Miss Yan is so smart, she shouldn't not understand what we mean." Now that our army has surrounded the Shu soldiers, it has been surrounded for three days, and the reason why we have not launched a general attack is that we don't want to be a complete enemy with Xichuan, and we don't want to consume too much strength here. We still hope to be able to send troops jointly with Nishikawa. ”

“……”

"It's just that your current general is really a little ignorant."

“……”

"If you continue to fight like this, you will be damaged, but your soldiers and horses in Xichuan will be protected, but it is the Central Plains Emperor's country. Why bother? ”

Yuanfeng ......

My heart pounded heavily in my chest.

Just when my heart was full of confusion and chaos, Kumuhan suddenly said again: "Miss Yan, you Xichuan have not been fighting against the court of the Central Plains for so many years, and now that you have the opportunity, you should take advantage of it." You have an old saying here, don't make a wedding dress for someone else, isn't that what it says? ”

I didn't listen to a word of what he said.

I only looked at Yuan Xiu in front of me, and my heart trembled.

This, of course, is an opportunity.

It is an opportunity for anyone who opposes the imperial court.

But what about him?

What would he think?

Just as I was grabbing his fingers and spasming so much that I was about to dig my nails into his skin, Kumuhan suddenly said: "Back then, you Xichuan had a wedding dress, this time, do you want to repeat the mistakes of your parents?" ”

My brain was buzzing.

After a while, I slowly turned my head to look at him, almost unable to believe my ears-

"What did you say?!"
