After burning the corpses of the dead in battle, Guan Xiao and Li Yanhe briefly discussed and determined the places they needed to defend and deploy.

Because they have not seen the reinforcements of the night cavalry of Ciwu, no matter what the other party's purpose is, they have to guard against it.

Even if Huang Xiaojia is insignificant in his army, he shouldn't be like this...

According to the defenders of the Eastern Capital who stayed in the camp, the scout who was responsible for delivering the message to Huang Xiaojia quickly headed to the northeast after receiving his order, which was completely opposite to the direction of Li Yanhe and the other Rao's march, and even deviated from the position prescribed by the Eastern Capital.

The three of them were sure that there must be preparations outside the city in the dark night, and if they wanted to start acting, they would not delay until now, and there would be no movement.

Just as Li Yanhe and the others thought, they were supposed to rush to the aid of Ciwu Night Cavalry, but they were ambushed by a mysterious army in the northeast of the Eastern Capital.

At first, the leader of the Dark Night Cavalry was able to fight with him for several rounds, but as the opponent's troops were replenished, the disadvantage of the number of Dark Night Cavalry was gradually revealed.

In the end, all the night riders had to force their way through the encirclement and turn back in the direction of the eastern capital at the cost of heavy casualties.

This was the first defeat the Dark Night Cavalry had suffered since quelling the rebellion of the Six Kings, losing to an army of unknown origin.

At the same time, Qiao Rustchen, the enshrined of the Qiao family of Sword Casting Peak, walked alone to the entrance of the camp of Yijian Villa.

The disciple in charge of the garrison recognized the Qiao offering, saluted him, and sent a message to the camp.

It didn't take long for Lin Manliu to walk out quickly.

"Uncle Joe, please! Old liar, he told me to hurry up and invite you in! ”

Qiao Ruchen listened to the title of "old liar", it was difficult for him to connect it with Ye Dangting, so he could only shake his head helplessly.

He said loudly: "This time, I didn't come to find Master Ye, but to you..."

Lin Manliu listened to Qiao Rustchen's tone, and the whole person was a little confused.

Uncle Qiao looked for him, but was it because of Senior Sister Qiao's loan of money?

However, the old liar has already given the money to the prodigal senior...

Could it be that the wave senior has not returned to Sword Casting Peak, and what happened to him on the way?

Lin Manliu hurriedly asked, "Uncle Qiao, but that Lang senior hasn't returned to Sword Casting Peak yet?" ”

Qiao Ruchen shook his head again, and said loudly: "The Lang Woman has returned to Sword Casting Peak a few days before we set off, and there is no need to worry about the six friends. ”

That's for what...

Lin Manliu couldn't just turn people away, so he made a gesture of invitation to Qiao Ruchen, and the latter followed him into the camp as Zheng

Between Qiao Rust Chen's words, it was to find the young man's own business, Lin Manliu talked casually to Ye Dang at the door of the main tent, and then took Qiao Rust Chen to his own tent.

When the two of them walked near the tent, there was already one more person at the entrance of the tent, it was Yue Hanzhi.

Without waiting for Lin Manliu to explain, she clenched her fists and shouted.

"Yue Hanzhi has seen Qiao Offering!"

Qiao Ruchen glanced at Yue Hanzhi and returned the salute to him.

Lin Manliu's doubts increased in his heart, Han Zhi also knew Uncle Qiao?

This doubt did not last long, and the boy quickly solved it himself.

Han Zhi had set up a pastry shop in Juzhou City, and it was possible that he had some dealings with Casting Sword Peak.

And he is also a kind Uncle Qiao, and he is not the Li Junce who has a bad heart all over his body, so it doesn't matter!

Yue Hanzhi lifted the tent curtain and entered Qi Zheng first

By the time Qiao Ruchen and Lin Manliu were seated, she had already poured two bowls of water and placed them in front of the two of them.

Yue Hanzhi said: "The camp is simple, the hospitality is not good, and I still look at Haihan..."

Qiao Ruchen waved his hand and said: "It's not easy to travel in the mountains and wilderness this time, and I want to thank the Moon Lady here!" ”

This move made the young man stunned for a while, and he always felt that Hanzhi was a little weird now?

Although Han Zhi was born in the Jiangning Yue clan, it is normal to talk and behave like this, but it shouldn't be like this on weekdays...

Lin Manliu gave him an inquiring look, and the latter only glanced at him, and then looked at the bowl of clear water.

In this way, Lin Manliu had to sit upright, waiting for Qiao Yanchen to say the purpose of his trip.

The back and forth actions of the two were of course watched by Qiao Ruchen.

He opened his mouth and said: "Man Liuyou and Moon Lady don't need to be so restrained, the main reason for coming here today is to tell Man Liuyou something. ”

Lin Manliu responded: "Uncle Qiao can just say it directly!" ”

Qiao Ruchen said: "Can you know how we gathered together, or why did we respond to General Li's call?" ”

Lin Manliu was silent for a moment, and replied loudly: "It stands to reason that even if General Li has the Sun Raising Order Flag in his hand, at most he can dispatch soldiers from various states and cities, like the Casting Sword Peak and the Wind and Snow Daguanlou factions, there is no need to respond..."

Qiao Ruchen nodded, and continued to wait for the young man's words.

Lin Manliu had a guess at first, it was an order given to them by the evil spirit, but the other sects of Di Mei could get through.

The view of the stars must have the same instruction as the "light" Cangxuan...

Li Simin, the person in power on the bright side of the Fengxue Daguanlou, has long been subject to the evil...

The current Elder Li of Xunhan Mountain even abandoned the darkness and turned to the light early, and worshiped under the evil sect...

Only the Sword Casting Peak is different, because the evil does not have eyeliner in it.

The current people in power, whether it is Qiao and Li, or the Qiao Gu Lord, have no possibility of cooperating with the evil spirit.

Lin Manliu suddenly remembered that when he first met Li Junce, the person beside him was the eldest son of the Jiang family!

He looked at Qiao Ruchen and subconsciously asked, "But is it because of the Yuezhou Jiang family?" ”

Qiao Ruchen snorted and said, "I think I've seen that Jiang Xu when I come to Manliuyou... So the connection between Junce and it, I don't need to be more detailed, right? ”

Lin Manliu raised his head and said: "There have been a few fights before, and now according to the old liar's intentions, we can cooperate with them for the time being." ”

Qiao Ruchen heard the young man's reply, and it took a long time before he slowly exhaled.

"Since Master Ye Zhuang thinks like this, Qiao doesn't think about it anymore, and he will follow the trend in the future..."

Lin Manliu said: "This person has a lot to do with the Slaughter Evil Sect, whether it is Li Xianfeng or Uncle Qiao in the future, you need to avoid too much contact with it!" ”

Qiao Ruchen snorted and agreed to the young man's proposal.

"After this is the case, I will make it clear to Jun Ce, he is too greedy for the fame in the rivers and lakes, and too obsessed with the past fame of Sword Casting Peak, these things are far away from us..."

From Qiao Ruchen's mouth, it was learned that Casting Sword Peak's response to Li Yanhe's call was led by Jiang Xu and Li Junce.

This made Lin Manliu have some new understanding of the eldest son of the Jiang family in his heart.

When they first met Li Junce outside the city of Najuzhou, the matter discussed by the two of them should have nothing to do with the slaughter of the evil sect.

If it was just collusion with the Evil Sect, then Sword Casting Peak should be the same fate as Yangfeng Valley, and there would be no way to survive so far.

So what if the cooperation conspired by Li Junce and Jiang Xu is what it is now?

Thinking of this possibility, Lin Manliu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat behind his back.

Isn't it that this person has planned a retreat early in the morning, if the Slaughter Evil Sect is defeated, or if he is abandoned by the mastermind behind the scenes, he will order the Casting Sword Peak to respond to the anti-flag, and then switch to the side with a greater chance of winning.

They are just Jianghu people, and they do a lot of Jianghu things.

And that Jiang Xu is a businessman, who only has the most benefits in his eyes and the biggest results.

Lin Manliu said loudly: "Then Uncle Qiao, do you know, where is Jiang Xu now?" ”

Qiao Ruchen said: "I don't know, but according to his and Jun Ce's law, as long as this trip to the north is fruitful, he will appear again and inform Jun Ce of his next move." ”

Lin Manliu raised his hand and clenched his fists and said: "At that time, I hope that Uncle Qiao will inform me and the old liar that this person must still have a plan, and he must not be allowed to hide in the shadows all the time!" ”

"Well, I came here today to discuss this matter with you, and I will convey it to Master Ye Zhuang later!"

While Qiao Ruchen spoke, he picked up the bowl of water in front of him, and then drank it all.

After he stood up, he first saluted respectfully towards Yue Hanzhi, and then looked at Lin Manliu.

"If Man Liuyou has nothing to ask, Qiao will leave on his own."

Lin Manliu was still immersed in thinking and reviewing, and he didn't notice Qiao Rustchen's actions just now.

It wasn't until he heard the sound of Qiao Rust preparing to leave that the young man reacted.

Lin Manliu immediately stood up and asked him out loud, "Wait a minute!" I wonder if Uncle Qiao knows about the recent events in Buried Sword Valley? ”

Qiao Ruchen chuckled: "Don't worry about your master, we also attach great importance to her safety, the area around the Buried Sword Valley has been strictly guarded by the disciples in the peak, and no one will disturb her purity!" ”

Lin Manliu hugged his fists and thanked him: "Thank you Uncle Qiao, thank you to the elders of Sword Casting Peak!" ”

Qiao Ruchen raised his hand and patted the young man's shoulder, shouted and left, and the whole person left towards the exit of the camp.

As a result, only Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi were left in the tent.

The latter didn't speak up until this time: "Man Liu, are you worried that Jiang Xu's actions behind his back will affect this action?" ”

Lin Manliu looked at Yue Hanzhi and nodded: "Well, this person, as well as Jiu Zhao, Qianjingxiao and the like, every time they appear, the timing can be said to be just right, and it must have been arranged for a long time." ”

Yue Hanzhi pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "Later, I will listen to these things with the old liar, see what he thinks, I haven't seen this person yet, I think it should be the same as that Zhou Mo, it must look unpleasant..."

In her eyes, even if Zhou Mo was invited into Yijian Villa by Lu Fengbai, he was also a mercenary and self-righteous person.

As for Jiang Xu's impression, whether it was mentioned in Qiao Yanchen's mouth just now, or Lin Manliu had mentioned it to her before, in her opinion, it would only be worse than Zhou Mo!

On the bright side, let Casting Sword Peak respond to Li Yanhe's call, and behind his back, he may be planning some secrets that cannot be forgiven.
