Seeing a few strangers coming outside the city, the soldiers stationed there quickly surrounded them. After the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info identified them and was confirmed, Qiushui and the others entered the city through the gate. At this moment, Hongta City has completely entered a state of combat readiness, and the entire street is full of soldiers coming and going, while ordinary people have long been evacuated to other safe places.

Autumn Water and their soldiers led them to a spire building in the middle of the city. It was originally a place used by the people in the city to worship, but at this time it has become a combat headquarters, only to see a large number of infantry wearing armor and holding weapons standing outside, and everywhere there are Yanguo military flags printed with flame symbols fluttering in the air, but Qiushui walked all the way from the city gate, but he did not find any trace of their own troops, which made him feel a little strange.

When he entered the hall, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a battle robe and a beard sitting inside, staring at the map in his hand with all his attention, as if he didn't even notice that someone was coming in.

"In Xia Cao Ming, this time I am the leader of the third operation group of the Yucheng Expeditionary Force, and these two are my subordinates. Cao Ming took a step forward and said. Of course, since Lin Lin hadn't woken up yet, as soon as she arrived in the city, she was placed in a room to rest. The man nodded, put down the map in his hand, stood up and walked in front of several people, and said with a smile: "Welcome to come from afar, I am the commander of the Second Army of the Yan Kingdom and the captain of the Red Tower City Guard, Lu Zhong, please take a seat." ”

After Qiushui and the others sat down on the side, Lu Zhong asked someone to fetch some water and pour it for them.

"I'm really sorry, because the surrounding grain roads were cut off by the rebels, and now the resources in the city are tight, and we can't provide you with a banquet. ”

"The handsome man is polite. It's a bumpy ride, and it's inevitable that your mouth will be a little dry, so it's just right. He replied with a smile. Qiushui glanced at him silently, thinking that this kid was actually quite good at talking.

"By the way, Dashuai, I haven't seen Captain Haodong and the people of our army all the way, I don't know where they went?" Cao Ming suddenly asked. Lu Zhong touched the beard on his chin and said, "I was about to talk to you about this. When your army arrived the day before yesterday, it coincided with the assembly of the rebels and launched a general attack fifty miles away from the city. So that night, Marshal Hao led a group of elite soldiers to block the attack, and has not yet returned to the city. But rest assured, according to reports from the front, after two days of stalemate, the rebels have gradually declined, and they will surely return triumphantly soon. As if he felt that this was a bit inappropriate, he added: "Of course, we have sent five hundred troops of our own, but we still have to keep some troops in the city to prevent them from moving away from the mountains." ”

"That's nature. Qiushui nodded.

After Lu Zhong explained all the matters, Qiushui and the others came to the room specially prepared for them to eat. It's just that Cao Ming somehow, as if he had changed a person, after coming out of the headquarters, he kept a calm face, and asked him what was wrong, but he didn't reply, until he closed the door of the room, and then he said there: "I think something is wrong." ”

"Strange?" Qiushui was biting a chicken leg at the moment, and when he heard this, he raised his head and looked at Cao Ming blankly. I saw Cao Ming nodded: "First of all, as soon as our army arrived, the rebels launched a general attack, which is too coincidental." Secondly, Haodong and I came out of the same selection competition, and I know his style very well, so it is impossible to lead the troops recklessly. Besides, even if you lead the troops to the battle, at least some of them must be left in the city as backup, Haodong can't even have this bit of common sense. In the end, almost half a day has passed since we came here, but we have not seen any news from the battlefield ahead, which is unreasonable. ”

Yan Boshu nodded and said, "After your reminder, I also think things are a little strange. ”

"If you want me to say, you all think too much, that Lu Zhong is a good person at first glance, the army's supplies are so scarce, and he prepared such a big chicken leg for us, it's really delicious. After speaking, Qiushui took another big bite, with a happy expression on his face.

"Probably. Yan Boshu wanted to say something, but when he saw Cao Ming, who was still serious just now, he was feasting with Qiushui at the table, and he immediately rolled his eyes. I don't know what kind of person this guy is, it's becoming too fast......

Anyway, after eating, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. As the night wore on, dark clouds obscured the moon, but the city was still brightly lit and full of patrols coming and going. I don't know why, the security in front of the building where Qiushui and the others are located is extremely strict, a large number of soldiers with weapons are around the door, and every once in a while there are people who look like officers come to inspect.

By about the third watch, the door of Qiushui's room was quietly opened. Several black-clothed people walked to Qiushui's bed, raised the big knife in their hands, lifted the quilt and saw that there was not even a figure.

"It's not good, let them run. ”

At this moment, about ten miles away from Hongta City, several figures were speeding towards the east. It turned out that after Qiushui returned to the room, he thought carefully about what Cao Ming said, and felt that something was indeed wrong. In order to verify his suspicions, he deliberately turned off the lights and pretended to be asleep, but in fact he was secretly watching by the window. Sure enough, a large number of soldiers soon surrounded their downstairs, and it looked like they were going to attack them tonight. But if he went out to warn the others now, he would definitely be startled, which made him not know what to do for a while. At this time, someone knocked on his shoulder, and when he looked back, Cao Ming and Yan Boshu actually came to his room at some point, and what was even more surprising was that Lin Lin actually followed behind them, and he didn't know when she woke up.

"Why are you ......?" As soon as Qiushui spoke, Cao Ming gagged his mouth with his hand.

"There's no time, let's run first. ”

"There are a lot of people guarding outside, can you break in?" Qiushui pointed out the window. I saw that Yan Boshu showed a weird smile, then looked at Cao Ming beside him, and said, "Don't worry, with him, no matter how many people there are, it's not a problem." ”

"And where are we going?"

"I've already inquired with the soldiers in the city, and I've heard that Haodong and they're going to a place called Dustpan Valley, so we'll go there and see what's going on. After speaking, Cao Ming stretched out the back of his hand and placed it in the middle of everyone. Then, Yan Boshu and Lin Lin also put their hands on it.

"This is ......" Qiushui wanted to say something, but was lightly kicked by Lin Lin, immediately closed his mouth, and honestly put his hand on the top. The next moment, the four suddenly disappeared in place, as if they had never existed.
