When Xu Xian heard this, he was so funny that he almost squirted out the tea, "Young and promising? An idle official, who has done one or two innocuous errands, is also worthy of being called a young man? If you really say it, you are not afraid of flashing your tongue. ”

"My father didn't want Ji San to go over, but Murong Bo was earnest, and Ji Chen had to read between the lines, he was now in an important position, in charge of 300,000 soldiers and horses, stationed on the northwest border, and his father was also in a dilemma." Li preached.

"There are so many good sons in the army, and they are on par with Ji Chen, and Murong Bo is a fake public and private. Originally, he was expected to be honest and selfless, but now it seems that he is in cahoots with Ji Lan, a nest of snakes and rats. ”

"Think about whether there is a good way to stop it, the emperor doesn't want to, we still have time to turn around."

Originally, Li Xuan wanted to send someone into the border to talk to Murong Bo in detail, but as far as he knew, Murong Bo was not such a person who did not distinguish between public and private, otherwise he would not be able to sit in the position of General Pingnan.

But on the third day of his departure, that is, half a month after Murong Bo wrote the book, his second letter of petition had already arrived in front of the emperor's case.

The small border country - Qiangwu is in turmoil, and two of his young generals lead the army to defend, but there is no return, and there is an urgent need for talents.

After the emperor saw this, he couldn't, so he had to follow Murong Bo's words and choose three children of the family who were interested in joining the army, including the third son of the Ji family, Ji Chen.

Li Xuan had nothing to do, and after weighing it repeatedly, he decided to summon Zhong Xiaobai.

"What did I ask you to do, how?"

"So far, there have been ten people who are willing to join, but they are sent."

"Very good, I got the news, Ji Chen will leave for the border tonight, you send someone to intercept him, he must die."

"Understood."

Zhong Xiaobai got the order, and when he left the East Palace, he began to arrange the interception route.

The four directions of the southeast, the northwest, the land, the waterway, and the hidden trail are all arranged with people, as long as Ji Chen appears, it is impossible to escape.

But seven days have passed, and there is still no news.

It wasn't until the eighth day that a woman in red brought news that the target had reached the border city, which was heavily guarded and they could not get close.

"How could it be ......" Li Xuan was incredulous.

Zhong Xiaobai explained, "Ji Lan had already prepared, and at the beginning, he let Ji Chen turn into six roads, and set off from six directions at the same time, which cost us a lot of manpower, until the third night of the pursuit, and intercepted all six people, but found that none of those six people was the real Ji Chen. ”

"When they reacted, he himself had crossed Huolian Mountain and arrived at Jialan City, and the people guarding there were ambushed and declared defeat before they could fight him, and watched him go all the way north and enter the border city."

"How is this possible to climb over Huolian Mountain?"

Zhong Xiaobai spread out the map and pointed out Ji Chen's real route to him, "Out of Beijing, into the Yandang Mountain Range, this Shandong Lianquanzhou, through Quanzhou into the Sishui River, the Sishui River tributaries are complex, almost through the north, at first puzzled, and later judged that he must have flowed from the Sishui River tributary to Yancheng, and then from the south ridge of Yancheng all the way to Huolian Mountain, and then through Jialan City into the border." ”

"How is this possible, the Sishui River is turbulent, and the quicksand at the bottom of the river is silted, unfathomable, and the road you are referring to is full of lofty mountains, and Huolian Mountain is uninhabited, with snakes, insects, rats and ants, full of miasma, and full of dangers, how can he formulate such an unbelievable route?"

"But I've speculated again and again that this is the only way to avoid all eyes and ears and successfully enter the edge." Zhong Xiaobai said, "I think, Ji Chen did not hesitate to take this road fearlessly, he must have been prepared in advance, he traveled lightly alone, if there was no prior arrangement, it was impossible to leave Huolian Mountain unscathed." ”
