Chapter 53: Fortunately, Jiuli is hers

Jiuli stood outside the big tent all night, he wore the mask that Chaoling found for him, hiding all his thoughts under invisibility, he looked up at the stars in the sky, and childishly raised his hand to catch it, but unfortunately it was too far.

It's cold in the winter.

Chao Ling came out of the big tent, Ling He Chi Xuan was carried by the military doctor for treatment, the feather arrow pierced his body, but it did not hit the vital point, it should be because Chao Ling was present, and the assassin was afraid of revealing his whereabouts.

The border guards are not as heavily guarded as they imagined, and they can even be said to be full of loopholes.

The big tent of the military camp can infiltrate the Mobei assassins, and even become the crown prince.

Chao Ling looked at the straight back in front of him, held his forehead and sneered, not knowing whether it was sad or happy.

"There are no stars today." Towards Ling.

"I know."

"Do you want to see it?"

"Huh?" Jiuli turned around, he exuded a sad temperament, just like the first time the two of them met, there was no wine today, and this breath could not be covered.

Chao Ling suppressed the idea of bargaining in his heart, stood on tiptoe, and put his hand on Jiuli's shoulder, "You squat down." ”

Jiuli didn't know why, but he was still obedient.

The hand was on his eyes, and the female voice was clear, like water slapping against sand. "I counted three, and the clouds dispersed."

After speaking, she withdrew her hand, and the faint spiritual power poured into Jiu Li's eyes, and his vision gradually became clear in the blink of an eye, and his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the overlapping dark clouds to see the stars thousands of miles away, flashing with gentle light.

And her eyes the same.

"See." He stared at Chaoling, leaned over and rubbed the tip of his nose against her forehead, "You are the star." ”

The only star that can illuminate me.

Chaoling's overly intimate behavior caught Chaoling off guard, and she couldn't help but feel a little weak-hearted, like a rich lady who had a private lover, for fear of being bumped into by her family.

After she shook her head, she quickly calmed herself, "How did you get in?" ”

"What?"

"How did you make it into the army?"

"So you're asking this." Jiu Li muttered, this form and style were too much in line with her, and he used her usual to convince himself that she was not very reasonable. "The border guards didn't change shifts until midnight, there would be gaps, and I observed this for two days."

The border guards are divided into three routes, and even during the shift change, there will be three pairs of people patrolling the camp, and it is impossible for such an arrangement to have gaps.

And the shift posts are rotated every day, and even if someone is negligent, it won't be the same person for two days in a row.

The border guards have been stationed in Mobei for many years, and this method has been applied since the generation of Zhenguo Gong, and there has never been any mistakes. But if these are attributed to the uneven hearts of the border guards, Chaoling doesn't believe it, after she entered the camp, she was protected by Lin Wanqi's residual power, and she didn't feel anything wrong, and she obeyed her command in everything, which shows that Lin Wanqi is very competent as General Lin.

There is no problem with Lin Jiajun, and it is impossible for Su Jiuli to lie to himself.

Chao Ling was in a dilemma, "You can take me to that place tonight." ”

***

There were no shifters in the barracks, and the shift change was well trained in the silence. Chaoling hid in a tree, the leaves were bare in winter, she was afraid of revealing her identity, so she hid a little farther, and could only spy on the nearby situation through mana.

Jiuli rested his long legs on the trunk of the tree and lay on it steadily, although he closed his eyes, the sounds around him could be heard clearly. Chao Ling's breathing was a little unsteady, and he could feel her anxiety.

Tomorrow, the Mobei mission will depart, and if you miss today's opportunity, you won't know when you will figure it out next time.

"It's coming." Jiuli slowly looked into the corner tower, where the soldier was walking downstairs with a spear. The lights of the corner tower flickered, and someone replaced it with a new candle on it, and the candlelight turned on and out, like some kind of signal, and the soldiers patrolling below tacitly raised the spear in their hands and automatically divided into two columns and left.

The time for Qi Qi to turn back, coupled with the vacancy of the lights in the corner tower, was enough for Jiuli to slip in.

If it weren't for Chao Ling's own eyes, it would be difficult for her to imagine that such a mistake would occur in the huge Mobei military camp.

"Chaochao." Seeing her lying motionless on the tree, Jiu Li was a little flustered, for fear that she would receive a major blow for this, he leaned over and wanted to lead her, but he was kicked firmly in the back.

With a plop, the soldiers turned around in unison, just in time to see a man in black falling from a tree. And the other person in the tree had long since disappeared, and Jiuli buried his head deep in the ground to meet the most humiliating time in his life.

And the culprit had already made a big tent, lit a charcoal basin and waited for Xu Yanshu to send Jiuli to her.

She baked the snow from her boots, like a king waiting to carry up the concubine who was sleeping today. After a while, "Gonggong Xu" sent his "Concubine Li" up.

Jiuli was wearing a mask that didn't do much of anything, and he didn't take a few steps to straighten the mask, for fear of being recognized. He was searched around, and there was nothing that could be used to fight or prove his identity, so Xu Yanshu could only press her in first to report.

"General Lin, I caught this person in the corner tower today." Xu Yanshu knelt in front of Chaoling with one knee clenched into fists, waiting for him to fall.

Chao Ling yawned lazily, waved his hand and said, "Got it, you go down first, and take a look at Prince Linghe's injuries along the way." ”

"General, this man."

"Throw it here." Facing the hemp rope on Jiuli's body in the direction of Ling Foot, he paused, signaling Xu Yanshu to rest assured.

Xu Yanshu took a deep look at Jiuli, didn't stay too long, and strode out. When I stepped on the threshold, I was pulled by my sleeve.

Chaoling's voice was clear and bright, making it impossible to read the meaning behind it: "General Xu is so relieved of me? ”

"The last general is at the door, and the general has something to order."

The door opened and closed, and a cold wind slipped in that extinguished the charcoal basin, leaving only billowing smoke. Chaoling tried repeatedly with a fire fold, but finally gave up, she was choked by the black smoke and held her breath, and the room was silent and silent.

Jiuli also stood as usual, and his good recuperation on weekdays made him still stand tall even if he was tied, but there was a footprint on his waist, which was blue-gray on the black clothes.

Finally, Jiuli was the first to speak, "Chaochao, I'm a little cold." ”

Chao Ling wiped her face, her hands were full of carbon ash, and she blocked Su Jiuli's sight with her body, and by covering the charcoal basin, the flames rose, she threw the fire fold to the ground, and said angrily, "Then you can sit here." ”

Jiu Li let out a faint sigh, his wrist broke free from the rope, he stroked the bruises carefully, and asked thoughtfully, "How did you guess." ”

"And how do you know?" Chao Ling slanted Ni, slightly reproached.

"Since Ling He Chi Xuan followed you to the big tent, I was curious, how did you convince Xu Yanshu, he was ........ People who have been to Pingning Pass. Jiuli's voice gradually faded, and he looked at Chao Ling's side face from the firelight.

She put her hand on the brazier and learned to bake the fire like a mortal, when she first came, she just thought it was fun, and then it became a habitual action when she was weak-hearted, as if baking the fire like everyone else meant that she was also mortal.

"Just now." She exhaled the turbid breath in her lungs, and the fire in front of her shook with it.

Jiuli was sent back like this, completely different from when Cheng Yu was caught, he was not interrogated, and even the rope tied was so sloppily.

This is Xu Yanshu's face saved for Chaoling, and he doesn't want the news of the secret meeting between the female general in the army and the prince to make too much trouble.

But he came too quickly, and the carbon in the top layer of this charcoal basin had not burned out, so he hurriedly sent Jiuli here.

As if he had been squatting on this gap, he knew that Jiuli had come, and he also knew that Chao Ling was probing, and even watched the assassin who assassinated Ling He Chi Xuan come in.

Her kick to Jiuli was not a temporary rise, only when Jiuli was arrested could she see if this gap was left by the army, because only this prince was a hot potato, and he couldn't keep it privately, so he could only send it to Chaoling immediately.

Chaoling didn't doubt Xu Yanshu's loyalty, he left a place, but he was still watching there, for fear of mixing in something that he couldn't control.

Xu Yanshu is a person who has been on the battlefield of Pingning Pass, and it was he who brought back Lin Qingping's head by riding thousands of miles alone. It was he who traveled thousands of miles to light the eighty-second everlasting lamp for the Lin family ancestral hall.

He is Lin Qingping's soldier and Lin Wanqi's brother.

He protected her and loved her. But he couldn't use the foundation of the border guards to trust her, believing that she pinned the hope of the Lin family's rehabilitation on her former opponent.

No one wants Ling He Chi Xuan to die more than Xu Yanshu.

Chaoling is not Lin Wanqi, how many days have passed, she is still the heavenly immortal who can't even use the fire fold. She is in the army, relying on the foundation of the Lin family, and Lin Wanqi's residual prestige, she should think that she is a righteous general, and she does not need to inform others.

But she forgot that she came from Beijing, and in the eyes of the army, she washed away the arrogance of her body for the rest of her life, and was willing to unite with the Mobei people.

Everything here is not hers, she originally belonged to a woman in red, her name is Lin Wanqi.

Chaoling is just an outsider.

Jiuli took off his robe and set up on the shelf on the side with ease, like a light-driving insect, leaning on Chaoling's side, "Chaochao." ”

His side face was cold, a cloud of black mist condensed in his eyes, and he said solemnly, "Chaochao, they are waiting for you, waiting for you to prove to them that the border guards will not be defeated again, waiting for you to prove to them that you will not repeat the mistakes of the Lin family, you are as capable of leading this army as Lin Qingping, and you are even better than him." ”

"Hmm." Chao Ling nodded, rarely well-behaved and obedient.

[Fortunately, Jiuli is hers, and there is still someone in this world who will be on her side. 】

***

On the way to the march, Ling He Chi Xuan's howl like a werewolf in the middle of the night could be heard for several days, the arrow was quenched with poison, and the military doctor in the army could solve it, but there was no herbs, so the team traveled day and night.

After passing the Pingning Pass and further south, the wind eased a lot.

Chao Ling rode on a horse, took off his cloak and hat, and commanded the generals behind him to threaten the Mobei mission, and if he called again, he would gag their mouths.

Ling He Chi Xuan was wrapped in thick gauze and lay in the carriage. Chao Ling tightened the reins and leaned to the side of Ling He Chi Xuan's carriage, she bumped her elbow, and the people inside snorted.

The Mobei Mission and the entire border guards, except for the accident of the heavy cart, there was only this small carriage, which was Lin Wanqi when she was a child, and she rode a horse to follow the army when she was seven years old. This car is full of a sturdy Mobei man, and Ling He Chixuan has to be careful when moving his body.

"Prince Linghe is resting, don't come out."

Not far away, a brand-new military flag hung on the wall, obscuring the awe-inspiring blood. Sentinels had already set up bows and crossbows on the castle towers to carefully examine each of the teams that came.

The city was solemn and lonely looking at everyone.

Binh Ninh Pass.
