The secret place where Xu Huabiao settled was located around the upper valley was not very far from Yangping Pass, and according to the normal marching speed, it would only take about two days.

If it was a rapid march like Zheng Zhixun before, it would have been able to arrive on the same day.

This also means that two days later, Jiang Shiqi, who withdrew to Yangping Pass, and the two chief historians and chief bookkeepers of Hanzhong County, finally found that the door to Hanzhong behind them had been closed.

Park Zhiyin, who was standing on the castle tower, was not polite at all.

With an arrow, Li Shengjing, who called the door under the city, was seriously injured.

Originally, they had worked hard to set up an ambush in the upper valley, and finally lit a fire, but they were doused by a strange heavy rain that fell from the sky, and the soldiers, whose morale had already fallen into the trough, saw Li Shengjing wounded and fled back to the camp, and the last fighting spirit was lost.

In addition, Li Xuanmei, who was originally falling behind them, and Sun Zhouyan, who led the soldiers to receive the camp set up by Jiang Shiqi before Dingjun Mountain, this group of soldiers recruited and trained by Yang Zhiyuan, who were not very elite in the first place, completely collapsed.

In the four days under Yangping Pass, this army was sharply reduced from several thousand to less than eight hundred.

The rest are all personal soldiers who have followed Jiang Shiqi to fight in the south and north for many years.

Even according to the news of the spies planted in Kang Suqi's army, on the third day, Lee Kwang-so left the barracks and fled back to Hongnong along the path on the pretext that he wanted to take Lee Sung-kyung, who was injured by an arrow, to find a place to treat and recuperate.

After Lin Nalian, who was with Xu Huabiao, learned of this, she angrily pointed to the information and scolded several times, "I have never seen such a brazen person."

However, Xu Huabiao's mood is very stable.

Lee Kwang-so...... Totally understandable.

Ahem.

In Yangping Pass, seeing the sharp decrease in the soldiers under the gate, Zheng Zhixun who was in the pass finally couldn't sit still, and despite the obstruction of the deputy general Park Zhiyin arranged by Huang Yizhi, he took a team of 500 people out of the pass to attack Jiang Shiqi's camp.

This battle was supposed to be won.

Pity.

Seeing that Zheng Zhixun, who had rushed to Jiang Shiqi's side, was raising the snake spear to compete with Jiang Shiqi, a Lin Yun'er was killed next to him......

In the early years in the ancient city by the Yellow River, he and Guan Yunchang would be able to suppress Lin Yun'er, but now he is the only one...... Not to mention the enemy, it is not easy to retreat with the whole body.

Fortunately, Lin Yun'er also knew that Zheng Zhixun was her own person, but after protecting Jiang Shiqi from being killed by Zheng Zhixun, she withdrew her hand and did not plan to pursue him.

In addition, Park Zhiyin, who was on the pass, was vigilant enough and did not give Jiang Shiqi, who intended to counterattack Yangping Pass, any chance.

Otherwise, Zheng Zhixun may directly explain to Yangping Pass.

was taught a lesson by Lin Yun'er, and Zheng Zhixun, who returned to Yangping Guan, learned to be obedient, and honestly retreated.

Although with the help of Lin Yun'er, Jiang Shiqi successfully blocked a surprise camp that Zheng Zhixun was determined to win, Jiang Shiqi himself knew that the army he led had reached the end of the crossbow and had no combat strength at all.

Let this group of soldiers who have followed him for so many years be senselessly annihilated here...... Jiang Shiqi can't do it herself.

Just when she was already planning to persuade Lin Yun'er to leave the barracks and surrender herself to save the lives of these soldiers, several soldiers from Xu Huabiao's Shenji Battalion came to the army.

They came to Lin Yun'er on Xu Huabiao's orders, and by the way, they wanted to introduce a way to bypass and block the retreat to Wudu.

In the end, under the leadership of Park Hae-yoon and Kim Min-joo, the two "leading" people, Jiang Shiqi took advantage of the night to take her only remaining and most loyal more than 800 soldiers, along the mountain road, bypassing Li Xuanmei and Sun Zhouyan, who were camping behind them, and also bypassing Dingjun Mountain, which had been completely controlled by Sun Zhouyan, and embarked on the road of retreating to Wudu.

……

"Master Xu, thank you so much this time."

“…… General Shibuki! What are you doing? Get up! Get up! ”

Xu Huabiao took a few steps forward with a surprised face, stretched out his hand, and helped Jiang Shiqi, who was kneeling on the ground, up.

"Lord Xu, please accept my worship." Jiang Shiqi knelt very stubbornly, "I am not worshipping for myself, but for the hundreds of soldiers under my command." If there were no adults, they would ......"

"Well, I've already received your gift! Get up! Xu Huabiao nodded, with a force on his hand.

Although the kidneys are deficient, the source of strength is still there.

Xu Huabiao's strength is really not something that Jiang Shiqi can stop.

was stubborn and was helped up by Xu Huabiao.

Jiang Shiqi's eyes were a little red.

"General Shiki, what the hell is going on? Why did you suddenly evacuate Dingjun Mountain? How did Yangping Pass get lost? Xu Huabiao asked with a speechless expression.

"This ...... It's like this......" Although Jiang Shiqi was ashamed, he still held on and said the entire battle from Dingjun Mountain to the upper valley.

Another version of the same story.

What Lee Kwang-so suddenly sent a message, and he also brought a token from the young master Zheng Yunhao, saying that he had to listen to her! Including the argument between her and Lee Kwang-so about whether the upper valley can be lit or not......

After Xu Huabiao heard it, he nodded secretly, which was roughly the same as what he knew through his detailed work.

"So...... Lee Kwang-so is really not enough to succeed and more than to lose! ”

After Xu Huabiao heard the story, he did not hesitate to put the charge on Lee Kwang-so's head.

"That's not the case, Lord Lee Kwang-so probably didn't expect it to rain in the upper valley all of a sudden......"

"General Shiki, if I were you, I would never say good things for Lee Kwang-so." Xu Huabiao interrupted Jiang Shiqi's words.

“…… Why? ”

"He escaped from Yangping Pass before you, where do you think he went?"

"Go back to Hongnong, right? Lee Sung-kyung was injured ......"

"Hurt? If the King of Wei knew that Hanzhong was lost because of him, what kind of family would he raise! I must have cut off my head directly! Xu Huabiao waved his hand, "He must be thinking about how to make up a story and throw the blame on you!" You still help him talk......"

Be quiet.

"Then Lord Xu, what should I do?"

"What else can I do! Hurry up and bring people back to Yecheng! Before he convinces the King of Wei to convict you, explain the cause and effect of the matter! Xu Huabiao looked serious, "It's late, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to explain!" ”

“…… Good. Jiang Shiqi nodded, "Then I'll be alone after I take the soldiers to Wudu......"

"What are you going to Wudu! Hurry up and go back to Yecheng by yourself! Soldier, I will help you take it to Wudu to recuperate, and then I will arrange for someone to send you back to Yecheng. ”

"This ......"

"What this and that! Grace! Xu Huabiao shouted behind him.

"Yes."

"You go and hand over the people she brought with General Shiki, and you will be responsible for returning these people to her when you go back, understand?" Xu Huabiao gave Zheng En's order.

"Yes." Zheng En nodded, then looked at Jiang Shiqi.

"But ......"

"General Shiqi, if you are convicted by Li Guangzhu in front of King Wei, this group of soldiers under your command will not be able to get better."

“…… I understand. Jiang Shiqi gritted her teeth and nodded.

I took Zheng Eun down to hand over the soldiers.

Watching Jiang Shiqi leave, Xu Huabiao's stiff waist bent all of a sudden.

Even my body is a little unsteady.

There's no way, pretending that nothing hasn't happened for so long, Xu Huabiao really can't hold on.

Nothing!!

Fortunately, Lin Yun'er, who was standing opposite him, had already come to his side for the first time and stretched out his hand to hug his husband.

"Childe, are you alright?"

"What can ...... do?"

"Childe, come less! The rain in the upper valley was caused by you, Childe, right? Lin Yun'er glared at Xu Huabiao fiercely.

“…… You didn't tell anyone else, did you? ”

"I'm not that stupid!!" Lin Yun'er gently knocked Xu Huabiao's head, "But when I saw that it was suddenly raining in the sky, I knew that something was wrong, and I was very worried about your body...... Fortunately, my flustered General Shiqi didn't see it. ”

"Yes."

"But, Childe, there are so many girls around you who have awakened the source of power, so many days have passed, why are you still so empty?" Lin Yun'er glanced at Sun Naen, who was following behind Xu Huabiao, and the children of the Shenji Battalion, and glanced at Xu Huabiao a little speechlessly.

"That's it!" Zhang Yuanying, who was next to him, nodded, "I heard from the deputy capital of Endi, and I can pass it...... In that way, he helped the lord recover his body, so he took the initiative to find the lord and hoped to help him...... But the lord didn't give me a chance at all, and scolded me and said that if you are a guard, you should be a good guard, and don't rob the maid and the lady......"

"Then we also said that it might be that the lord couldn't do it because he watched Yuan Ying grow up, so we went to the lord together, and said that whoever he needed, we would help him heal his injuries...... And then we were scolded together. Cui Yiyuan, who was next to him, also nodded.

"Childe, you ......" Lin Yun'er had a speechless expression.

"They are the Shenji Battalion, not Xiaonan, they are different." Xu Huabiao shook his head, "If I ...... to them I always feel sorry for Jenna. ”

Be quiet.

"Okay! A while...... After General Shiqi leaves, I'll help you heal your wounds! Lin Yun'er sighed softly.

"Yes, I'm tired."

"Childe, you...... Really, don't mess around with Dao techniques if it's okay! ”

"How can that be fine! Hundreds of lives! ”

“…… Alas! ”

Lin Yun'er shook her head helplessly.
