A strange peak abrupt stone mountain appeared in front of everyone's eyes, this is Wolf Gu Mountain.

The mountain is not very high, but it is very steep.

As far as the eye can see, there are cliffs everywhere, strange rocks are craggy, and the sharp stone pillars are like fangs growing out of the mountains, both sharp and hideous.

Wolf Gu Mountain straddles the border between the Tang Dynasty and Xue Yantuo Kingdom, half of the mountain is in the Tang Dynasty's sphere of influence, and the other half is controlled by Xue Yantuo. For many years, the two armies have been clashing here. Under the long yellow sand, I don't know how many bones are buried.

Yu Chi Baolin had already led the large army into the mountains, and as soon as they entered the mountains, the marching speed of the troops slowed down.

The first to open the way were the three hundred heavy cavalry of the Chishui Army, five hundred Mo sword soldiers were in charge of the palace, and the remaining two hundred people were in the middle of the team, one hundred heavy armored infantry and one hundred crossbowmen, who were responsible for protecting Yu Chi Baolin, Jiang Shenzhou and Qin Sheng followed behind Yu Chi Baolin.

Jiang Shenzhou has been paying attention to Yu Chi Baolin, and he has already made up his mind that once Yu Chi Baolin has any abnormal behavior, he will immediately take action to restrain him. Only by restraining him can he and Qin Sheng have a glimmer of life.

However, they had already walked a long way in the mountains, but Yu Chi Baolin was still very calm.

Could it be that Jiang Shenzhou guessed wrong?

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded.

The sound of horses' hooves came from behind, and a scout hurried his horse and knelt under Yu Chi Paulin's horse.

"What's the matter?" Yu Chi Baolin reined in and asked.

"Gift...... Governor of the Treasury, Xue ...... The Xue Yantuo people invaded...... Invade Hutu County. The scout gasped for breath as he replied.

"How many are there?"

"About ...... About two or three hundred, all cavalry. ”

"Got it." Wei Chi Baolin responded calmly, he turned around and said to Qin Sheng helplessly: "The military situation is urgent, it seems that today's trip can only be stopped." ”

After saying that, he immediately ordered the whole army to rush to Xiutu County immediately.

It took less than an hour for the large army to arrive in Xiutu County, but when they arrived, Xue Yantuo's cavalry had disappeared. All they saw were burning villages and terrified people.

There were still deep horseshoe prints on the ground, and there was blood everywhere the horseshoe prints went, and even the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. The breath of blood mixed with billowing black smoke intertwined into a picture full of desolation in the howls that cried out for the sky and the earth.

In this battle, no less than 200 people were killed and wounded in Xiutu County. According to those who survived, the Xueyantuo people had just left for a short time when they headed east.

"The enemy must not have gone far, and if we catch up now, we may be able to ......." ”

"No need to chase." Yu Chi Baolin interrupted him.

"The last general is willing to make a military order, as long as you give me 300 cavalry, you will definitely annihilate all the enemies." Fugu Samo took the initiative to ask for help.

"No! The enemy was clearly prepared, and may have set up an ambush on the road. Yu Chi Baolin flatly rejected his proposal.

"But......," said Samu, who was about to speak, stopped.

"Enough! Are you the Governor or am I the Governor? Yu Chi Baolin said impatiently: "The order is given, and the whole army will return to the city immediately." ”

After saying this, Yu Chi Baolin left angrily.

As soon as he left, the army also set out. After a while, the smell of blood was gone, the weeping and wailing behind him were no longer audible, and all misery seemed to be gone.

But Qin Sheng never let go, the night was already deep, she still couldn't sleep, every time she closed her eyes, there would be a tragic scene in Xiutu County in front of her. She had no choice but to put on her clothes and go out into the yard alone to blow the wind.

In the past, she longed for war, because for soldiers, war can bring glory and leave a name in history. But what the cost of war was, she never thought about. Today she realized that the price was so bloody and cruel.

"If you don't sleep so late, are you thinking about the day?" In the silent courtyard, Jiang Shenzhou's voice came. The autumn wind was bleak, the night was miserable, Jiang Shenzhou walked towards Qin Sheng.

"Didn't you sleep too?" Qin Sheng said.

"I was thinking about things like you, I thought I would find some secret in Wolf Gu Mountain, but I didn't expect it to fall short in the end."

"There's no way around it, who would have thought that the Xue Yantuo people would suddenly violate the realm." Qin Sheng sighed faintly.

"Did you think it was a coincidence?" Jiang Shenzhou asked.

"Coincidentally?"

"Yes, just like yesterday, every time we just notice something strange, there is an accident." Jiang Shenzhou accentuated his tone.

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Qin Sheng said, she was not in the mood to play dumb riddles with him now.

"I just want to say that there is something wrong with Yu Chi Baolin." Jiang Shenzhou sighed.

"Is that your guess again?" Qin Sheng replied angrily.

"It's not speculation, it's a conclusion. Yesterday you asked me how I knew about the Chamber of Secrets, and I can explain it to you now. ”

"Don't say that the prince told you, I'm not so easy to deceive."

"It's not the prince." Jiang Shenzhou shook his head and explained, "I have a friend in Liangzhou City, and he told me about the secret room. He said that Yu Chi Baolin was not a good person, and told me that there were some secrets in the Chishui Army that could not be seen. ”

"What's the secret?" Qin Sheng asked.

"He's still investigating, and I believe it won't take long to find out."

"Having said so much, there is still no evidence." Although she said this, her face had softened a lot.

"Originally, there was evidence, the contents of the secret room box were evidence, and Wolf Gu Shan originally hid secrets, but now they are all gone. Yu Chi Baolin must have sent someone to deal with it. So ......" Jiang Shenzhou paused, stared at Qin Sheng and said, "So now I just hope you can believe me." ”

"I've known Brother Wei Chi for seventeen years, and I've only known you for less than a month, do you want me to trust you and not him?" Qin Sheng asked rhetorically.

"Yes." Jiang Shenzhou nodded.

Qin Sheng didn't speak, she suddenly stood up and walked upstairs, and when she was halfway there, she stopped and said faintly: "It's not early, you go to bed early." ”

Jiang Shenzhou smiled, he didn't want to sleep, but he couldn't sleep at all, because he was still waiting for Gao Dawei's news. He sat in the courtyard all night, and did not see Gao Dawei appear.

Not only him, but even Fugusamos suddenly disappeared.

Originally, Fugu Samo was waiting for them at the gate of the barracks every day. But today the two waited until noon, and they didn't see him. Instead, another man came, who told them that he would never return, because he had been arrested and accused of treason.

"How did he collaborate with the enemy?" Qin Sheng asked.

"I don't know much about the lowly position, it seems that there was a Xue Yantuo cavalry who invaded the territory yesterday, and Fugu Sama is their internal response." Someone came back and forth.

"Ridiculous! He was with us yesterday, how could he be an internal response? Qin Sheng said angrily.

"This ...... It's hard to say about the lowly position, I heard that this case was tried by the governor of Wei Chi himself. ”

"I'll go to your governor now." After speaking, Qin Sheng ran out of the barracks.

Of course, she didn't believe that Sugu Samour could be such a person. These days, she sees only integrity and loyalty in this veteran general, and he doesn't want to be a collaborator.

Soon she had come to the Governor's Mansion, and although Yu Chi Baolin was in the mansion, she did not want to see her. Qin Sheng didn't give up, he pulled Jiang Shenzhou and waited at the door until it was dark, and when it was dark, Yu Chi Baolin finally walked out of the door.

"I know what you're trying to say, but it's not for you to meddle in." That was his first sentence.

Qin Sheng said: "You said that he collaborated with the enemy, is there any evidence?" ”

Yu Chi Baolin sighed: "Do you know which tribe the Xue Yantuo people who attacked Xiutu County yesterday? Let me tell you, they are the Fugu tribe of the Xueyanta country, that is, the people of Fugu Shamo. ”

Qin Sheng retorted: "Even then, it doesn't mean that he will collaborate with the enemy. He has served in the army for many years, if he wants to commit treason, why wait until now? ”

Yu Chi Baolin sneered and said, "How do you know that he has waited until now?" ”

Qin Sheng didn't understand what he wanted to say, and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Over the years, he has been secretly communicating with the tribesmen to leak military information." Yu Chi Baolin said coldly: "Yesterday's incident was planned by him, the so-called Xue Yantuo cavalry is just a bait, in fact, he has already set up a heavy ambush on the road, ready to wipe us out." Had it not been for my rejection of his suggestion, we would have been imprisoned today. ”

Qin Sheng frowned and said, "What you said is true?" ”

Yu Chi Baolin sighed: "How could I lie to you." Fortunately, I have long been wary of him, and at this moment the letter of his collusion with his clan is on my desk, and the evidence is ironclad, don't you still believe it? ”

Qin Sheng lowered her head, she looked distressed: "I didn't expect him to be such a person." ”

Yu Chi Baolin's tone softened a lot, and said, "This matter is related to the military aircraft, and I forgive Brother Wei Chi for not being able to say much to you." Besides, tomorrow is the last day of the round, and you shouldn't be distracted by it. ”

"What Governor Wei Chi Dudu said is that we will go back after tomorrow, and besides, this matter has nothing to do with us." Jiang Shenzhou had been standing aside, and now he finally spoke.

Yu Chi Baolin nodded and said, "The ginger sacrificial wine is reasonable. He looked up at the sky and said, "I have something to do today, so I won't leave you, but tomorrow I will set up a banquet in the house for you, and you must come." ”

Jiang Shenzhou smiled: "Of course. ”

Yu Chi Baolin said: "Okay! That's it! He laughed and patted Jiang Shenzhou on the shoulder, turned around and returned to the Governor's Mansion.

At this time, the lights are on, and the pedestrians on the road can hardly be seen. They should have gone back to the inn, but Qin Sheng didn't leave, she stood silently in place for a long time.

"He's lying." Qin Sheng said suddenly.

"Huh?" This time it was Jiang Shenzhou's turn to be surprised: "You finally believe that he is lying?" But how did you find out? ”

"Alas......" Qin Sheng sighed and said quietly: "I have known him since I was a child, and every time he lies, he will unconsciously clench his left hand into a fist. ”

Jiang Shenzhou was very curious, and asked with a smile, "Then why didn't you find out last time?" ”

Qin Sheng said: "I didn't pay attention to his hand at all last time, and you reminded me yesterday, so I ......" She didn't continue, but the implication was self-evident, she still chose to believe Jiang Shenzhou, although they didn't know each other for a long time.

Jiang Shenzhou said: "Since he is lying, then the servant Gusamor has been wronged." ”

Qin Sheng nodded and said, "That's right, so I must save him." ”

Jiang Shenzhou: "How to save it?" ”

Qin Sheng groaned: "If you want to save him, you must first find him." Do you know where he was held? ”

Jiang Shenzhou said: "As far as I know, there is only one big prison in Liangzhou, which is behind the Governor's Mansion. ”

Qin Sheng's eyes flashed, and he said, "We'll go there tonight." ”
