King Xiao helped her up, and only said: "My daughter is so sensible and smart, it's too late for this king to be happy, you can go, don't worry about it anymore." ”

Jielan knew that time was precious, so she didn't say more, so she owed a gift to her mother and said, "The child is gone, and the mother must take care of her health." ”

Qing Zhan went up to the king as a farewell salute, and then went out of the imperial study with Jielan, went to the military camp, they counted the number of soldiers, and saw that there were only 150,000 troops left, and General Cao will take 50,000 troops to rescue Chiyan City, and need to leave 50,000 troops to guard the royal city, so they can only take the remaining 50,000 troops to Heimu County to attack the county capital, although there are fewer people, but as long as they fight, it does not mean that there is no chance of winning.

Qing Zhan also knew that there were many demons in Heimu County, so he brought four thousand of the five thousand Divine Beast Legions under his command, and the remaining one thousand knights were left to the king for emergency needs.

After a few people distributed the soldiers and horses, Jielan and Shaojun swore an oath with the soldiers, all shouting that they would swear to calm the war, and the soldiers returned to the court, and the soldiers saw that the princess and Shaojun personally led them, and their morale was naturally not small, and they were all in good spirits.

Jielan ordered the soldiers to pack up the salutes, prepare the grain and grass, and wait until the early morning of the next day, and then set off.

On the second day, King Xiao led all the courtiers to send the army together, and after Jielan drank three cups of send-off wine, she got on the horse and marched towards Heimu County with Shaojun.

..............

When the army marched to the boundary of Jinzhao City, Jielan thought of Jin Xuan and wanted to see her, but thinking that the big war was imminent, she had no time to stay, so she still stayed to calm Heimu County and thanked the city lord of Jin Xuan after returning.

However, when Jielan and Shaojun led the army to prepare to cross the gate of Jinzhao City, they saw the soldiers behind them to report, saying that there was a team of horsemen running towards them, I don't know whether it was friend or foe, Jielan ordered the army to stop, she and Shaojun turned around and ran towards the place where the team came from, ran a few hundred meters away, and saw a pair of people and horses galloping towards him in the distance, and the leader was wearing a golden dress, looking at the shape of a woman, Jielan looked at the woman's figure, and couldn't help but be happy, because she had already guessed who the other party was, And when the other party arrived, it was really the city lord of Jin Xuan who he thought.

Jin Xuan grabbed the reins, slowly urged the horse to walk in front of Jielan, and said, "Isn't the princess going to pass by my Jin Zhao City secretly like this, but not to meet the master?" ”

Being asked like this by Jin Xuan, Jielan really felt a little guilty, she smiled indifferently: "Because the military situation is urgent, I didn't want to disturb the city lord, but I didn't expect the city lord to rush over, this palace is really grateful, last time you sent troops to help me quell the civil strife, this palace did not thank you in person." ”

Jin Xuan said with a smile: "The princess doesn't have to say much about these nonsense, this time, this time, the palace is not specifically here to listen to the princess, you thank you, but plan to go to Heimu County with the princess." ”

Hearing Jin Xuan's words, Jielan and Qingzhan were both surprised, the two looked at each other, in the face of Jin Xuan's request, Jielan was a little stunned for a while and didn't know how to answer, and after a while, she said: "Jin Xuan City Lord, this palace is already very grateful for your help to me, but this is going to Heimu County, this war is bound to be very cruel, so the city lord should go back!" ”

"You forgot that the master sent Tianling to protect you, but in the end I couldn't come back with you, this time I went for Tianling's sake, princess, don't get me wrong." Jin Xuan has no class distinction when she talks to Jielan, so she seems a little strong and domineering, but fortunately, Jielan is Jin Xuan's friend, so she doesn't care if she says so.

However, Jielan heard Jin Xuan mention Tianling, and she really felt guilty in her heart, if Tianling hadn't been because of her, she wouldn't have been trapped in Heimu County, and these days, I don't know if he is still alive, if he is executed by the people of Heimu County, Jielan can't forgive herself in this life.

Because, Jielan knows that Tianling is the person Jin Xuan loves!

"City Lord Jin Xuan, I..." Jielan didn't know how to say it to express her apology.

Seeing Jielan's embarrassed expression, Jin Xuan smiled indifferently and said: "The princess doesn't need to say it, if you feel sorry for me, you don't want to refuse the decision to let me go to Heimu County with you, if you refuse again, the master will be polite to the princess." ”

Jielan saw that Jin Xuan's personality was straightforward and straightforward, and she liked it very much, and really felt that she should have met her a long time ago, otherwise the two would definitely become good friends. Jielan no longer persuaded her, so she nodded and said, "Actually, the city lord of Jin Xuan can go to Heimu County with us, but it can be said that I can't ask for it, just because you and I go all the way, I also feel that there is an extra companion, don't you?" ”

Seeing that she agreed, Jin Xuan's heart relaxed, she pointed to the hundreds of soldiers behind her, and said: "These are the most elite troops in the main city, although the people are not good, but compared to the Shaojun's Divine Beast Regiment, it is not much different, so this will definitely help." ”

Jielan nodded, very happy that Jin Xuan was so attentive. When she saw that it was getting late, she said, "Don't talk about it yet, let's continue on our way!" ”

Jin Xuan and Jielan Shaojun walked to the front and began to rush towards Heimu County at full speed.

By dusk, the army had been on the march for a day, ready to set up camp. Qing Zhan planned to leave again when he arrived, because this place was not far from Heimu County, and if he was in a hurry at this moment, he might be discovered by the people of Heimu County, and he would avoid traveling late at night.

However, just when he was about to set up camp, he suddenly saw a black ground in the far sky flying in this direction, as soon as Qing Zhan felt this breath, he knew that the situation was not good, his expression suddenly sank, and he said loudly to the army: "The whole army is on alert, and the enemy is coming towards us." ”

When the people of the whole army heard Shaojun say this, they all became nervous, and hurriedly picked up the blades in their hands and prepared to meet the enemy.

And Jielan looked at the distant sky, and slowly felt the evil spirit, such an angry evil spirit, and in such a place, what is it besides the skeleton demon? , Jielan hurriedly said: "It's not good, it's the skeleton demon, could it be that they know our traces?" ”

Qing Zhan kept staring at the distant sky, he shook his head, and said, "Although this aura is powerful, there are not many skeleton demons that can be felt, probably less than fifty, if you knew that the army was attacking Heimu County, you would definitely not send such a small number of skeleton demons." ”

Jielan listened to Qing Zhan's analysis, although she hadn't seen those skeleton demons yet, she also trusted Qing Zhan's judgment, and she hurriedly asked, "Then what are these skeleton demons here for?" ”

Qing Zhan didn't answer again, while Jin Xuan pulled out his moon-like scimitar and smiled indifferently: "Don't you know when they come?" ”

Seeing that Jin Xuan was so calm, Jielan's heart was also quiet, she took a deep breath, thinking that no matter what happened to these skeleton demons here, they couldn't put these skeleton demons back alive, otherwise their plan to attack Heimu County would be exposed, so this battle could not be avoided.

Slowly, the evil qi approached, and gradually saw the face of the skeleton demon clearly, only to see that in front of the group of skeleton demons, there were two flying birds, and there were four people sitting on each of the two mounts.

When Jielan saw them, she opened her mouth wide in shock, because the four people on the mount were Tan Qi, and it turned out that Tan Qi had really rescued them. Jielan trembled with excitement.

And Tan Qi they also saw Jielan below, they were so busy pressing the cloud head, flying in the direction of Jielan and them, and when they fell back to the ground, Tan Qi immediately got off his mount, knelt down towards Shaojun and the princess, and said: "Subordinates see Princess Shaojun, I don't know why Princess Shaojun got here." ”

Qing Zhan helped Tan Qi up, and without explaining to him, he looked at the three people behind him, who were Long Yiqixue and someone he had never seen before.

Long Yi and Qi Xue saw Jielan, they were so happy that they threw themselves into her arms, Jielan saw that Qi Xue and the black pig were actually safe and sound, and she was so happy that she almost cried, she only said: "It's so good to see you, it's okay!" Jielan hadn't seen them for a long time, and when she suddenly saw them, she was naturally a little excited and happy.

Long Yi was also very excited, and said: "Lan, it's great to see you again, I thought I would never see you again in my life." When he said it, he felt like he was about to cry, and people couldn't help but feel moved.

As he spoke, the skeletal demons who were chasing after him also got closer, they hovered overhead, and when they saw the army, they looked both happy and a little frightened, and when they were about to leave, Qing Zhan sent the soldiers of the Divine Beast Regiment to surround them, and ordered that these skeleton demons must not escape.

The people of the Divine Beast Corps sent hundreds of the strongest soldiers to surround these skeleton demons, and the battle between the two sides was about to break out, although these skeleton demons were extremely fierce, but under the siege of the people of the Divine Beast Corps, they were all wiped out in the end.

After the people of the Divine Beast Corps eliminated these dozens of skeleton demons, they went down to the clouds and returned to Shaojun, Qing Zhan nodded, and asked them to be careful and vigilant, in case there were any more skeleton demons, and they would not be so passive, and the soldiers of the Divine Beast Corps were ordered to retreat.

Qing Zhan thought that the army's heart was somewhat shaken at this moment, so it was better to camp first, and it would be good to let the army's spirit stabilize before marching, so he ordered the army to camp in the village, and then let Tan Qi enter the camp with them.

After entering the camp tent, Tan Qi officially saluted Qing Zhan, and he pleaded guilty: "Please punish Shaojun for my crimes, my subordinates should not deceive Shaojun, go out of the royal city without permission, and violate the law." ”

Qing Zhan saw Tan Qi pleading guilty, smiled, he walked up to him, and only said: "If you want to talk about sin, your sin is really big, I'm afraid even if this monarch wants to forgive you, there is nothing you can do, what do you say, princess." ”

Jielan didn't know what Qing Zhan meant by this, he didn't be surprised when Tan Qi ran away, but at this time he minded, Jielan didn't know how to say, just said: "Tan Qi is also excusable in order to save Long Yi everyone, so Shaojun doesn't have to be too surprised, not to mention, if it weren't for Tan Qi, I'm afraid Long Yiqi Xue and they would be in a big trouble, isn't it?" ”

Shaojun actually wanted to give Tan Qi a step down, since Jielan said this, he wouldn't be too difficult, so he smiled and said: "Since the princess has never blamed you, how can Benjun be willing to blame you, it's just that if you dare to leave alone next time, Benjun won't forgive you so easily." ”
