Yan Chen was stunned for a moment, he looked ahead expressionlessly, his eyes were very empty, "He Cong...... He's dead? ”

Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "It's dead." ”

Yan Chen's voice suddenly became hoarse, "He...... How to die. ”

"When the Sheng army came over, we were together, in the county office. We didn't expect such a large army to come out in this hellish place, they came so fast that we couldn't react at all. ”

"Looking back now, the first thing we did after entering the city should have been to close the city gate and be tightly armed, but General He and I were careless."

"At that time, it was just getting dark, and we caught the master of this Qushui County, and he led us to the county office, looking through the county records, treasury accounts, prison registers, etc., and suddenly three women appeared."

"Women?" Chu He was a little puzzled.

"Yes, woman. The three women, dressed in iron armor, wearing hard helmets and holding long swords, killed all the way from outside the county office. ”

Yan Chen seemed to have recovered from his emotions just now, but his voice was still hoarse, "Is it King Xiao Ming's female swordsman?" ”

"That's right, it is the legendary female swordsman who often accompanies King Xiao Ming and serves as his personal guard, but there were only three of them at that time, not the legendary ten."

"At that time, the guards around us were not the opponents of those three women at all, it can be said that one sword and one were all overturned. The swordsman was obviously coming for General He, the leader, but he didn't escape. ”

"He told me about this place in Peach Leaf Lane, asked me to come to you, and then drew his sword and went to fight."

He Cong ...... How easy to kill? ”

"Of course not, General He is also a fierce general, he fought against one of the female swordsmen, and he did not fall behind at all, but the other two began to besiege him together after clearing the guards, and he was defeated. I remember that General He is a cultivator of the Five Realms, and from this point of view, the cultivation of those sword servants should also be around the Five Realms. ”

"How did you die?"

"Three swords pierced through the body and died."

"Where did you see the whole battle, and then you ran away?" Chu He, who had been listening silently, suddenly asked.

"The moment General He went to meet the battle, I was about to flee, but I found that there were already Sheng Guo cavalry outside, so I hid in a secret door in the Yamen."

"Secret door? Is there a secret door in the county office? ”

"Yes, it was explained by the master we arrested before, and the secret door is the place where the county ya's black tent is installed. I moved all those black tents out to check them before, and I just left a room for me, and I could see the scene of their battle through the gap. ”

Chu He stopped talking, but the uneasiness in his heart became more and more serious. What Jiang Yuan said seemed to be so logical and impeccable, but he always felt that something was wrong, which made him feel like he was stuck in his throat.

Yan Chen didn't have so much thought, he seemed to be still immersed in the grief of his friend's death, and only after a while did he ask: "Legend has it that the ten female swordsmen never leave Zhou Yan's left and right, have you seen King Xiao Ming?" ”

"No, those three swordsmen cut ...... cut off General He's head and left. After that, it seemed that the county government was sealed, and no one came in again, and I hid there for several days, and finally I couldn't find anything to eat, so I took advantage of the midnight to venture out over the wall. ”

"I hid in an abandoned house nearby for the next few days until I received the pigeon letter."

Yan Chen turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard, "I'll go rest for a while, and I'll talk about the rest in the evening." ”

Liang Yi followed with a worried face.

Chu He glanced at Jiang Yuan deeply and went back to his room.

Jiang Yuan, who was standing alone in the yard, was dumbfounded for a while, "Hey, I said, which one is good, can you get me something to eat, I really can't bear it." ”

After begging for a long time, the kind-hearted Aunt Ma finally couldn't sit still, walked out of the house, and went to the stove room to heat two buns for it.

Jiang Yuan's mouth was stuffed with bread, and he didn't know whether he was moved or choked, in short, he was in tears, and he grabbed Aunt Ma's hand and didn't let go.

"Good aunt, give me two more hot couples."

The last member of the Xinmu battalion was indeed hungry, and he ate from noon until evening.

When it came to dinner, Yan Chen didn't come out of it, Aunt Ma boiled a pot of porridge, Liang Yi came out and brought two bowls, and went back to the inner courtyard.

Chu He sighed secretly, it seems that this General He Conghe and Yan Chen are really good brothers.

"Auntie, give me another bowl of porridge." Jiang Yuan walked towards the stove room with an empty bowl.

Chu He was shocked: "Aren't you afraid to support yourself to death?" ”

"Where is this, I want to ...... back then Forget it, the hero doesn't mention the courage of the year. ”

After dinner, Liang Yi came out and cleaned up a side room for Jiang Yuan, not far from the house where Chu He lived.

In the evening, the tranquility of the small courtyard was broken by Jiang Yuan again.

"Hurry up, Captain Yan, Brother Chu, come out quickly, the reply has arrived."

Chu He walked out of the house, but he only leaned against the door frame and did not go any further.

The fact that it came back and forth so quickly meant that the Golden Armor Battalion had arrived not far outside the city.

After waiting for a while, Yan Chen finally came out.

"What do you say about replying?"

Jiang Yuan took out the letter paper and handed it to Yan Chen, "It says that the Jinjia Battalion and the Kuishan Battalion will complete the siege of Qushui County in three days, that is, on the seventh day of the first month of June, and start the siege of the city in the early morning. If you let it escape, you will be in vain with all kinds of plans. ”

Yan Chen scanned the contents of the letter and said lightly: "I understand, I accept it." ”

"Wait!"

Chu He stretched out his hand and pointed to the letter in Yan Chen's hand, "I want to see that letter." ”

Yan Chen was stunned for a moment, and then handed the letter over.

Chu He looked at the thin letter paper carefully, suddenly raised his head, and said to Jiang Yuan, "What about the letter that the Golden Armor Camp first passed on to you?" The one that asked you to find Yan Chen. ”

Jiang Yuan glanced at Chu He deeply, turned his head back to the house, and took out the letter, "The letter paper and handwriting are the same, what does Brother Chu want to check?" ”

Chu He didn't answer, took the letter, held it high, and placed it under the big moon, watching the silver-white moonlight shine through the thin letter paper.

Then Chu He picked up the one he had just arrived and put it on the back of the old letterhead, aligned the four corners, and put it under the moonlight. He then reversed the two sheets of paper and stacked them on top of each other.

Jiang Yuan's pupils shrank.

Chu He put down the letter and looked at Jiang Yuan with a wary expression, "You are not Jiang Yuan, or rather, you are not just Jiang Yuan who joined the army at the end of the Xinmu camp, who are you?" ”

Jiang Yuan immediately showed a strange smile, which was particularly mad in the moonlight, "I see, I see, your name is Chu He, right, you are really careful, admire and admire." ”

Yan Chen used a horizontal movement that was almost as fast as the phantom, grabbed the saber not far from the courtyard, and instantly unsheathed it.
