Anxiously waiting, the emperor's decree finally reached the border pass, asking them to release King Zuo Xian immediately, as long as the soldiers and horses of Beihu no longer came to harass and attack the soldiers and civilians at the border pass, no one was allowed to take the initiative to attack.

The emperor's decree caused everyone to be in an uproar, and everyone, including Lu Shouwen, was ready to escort King Zuo Xian back to the capital, and he transferred 500 elite soldiers to be commanded by Gu Shengchao to escort King Zuo Xian all the way to the capital safely.

This order was difficult for them to accept.

The will of God cannot be violated, and no matter how much the people are puzzled, they must carry it out.

Escorting King Zuo Xian to the small city closest to Beihu, Luo Jinrong, who had been promoted to the general of Dingyuan, was overjoyed and held a banquet to entertain everyone.

They are all from the capital, and they usually don't see each other at all, so they can take this opportunity to tie up and pave the way for future promotions.

Fortunately, Lu Shouwen and the others are not greedy for money and lustful, they just sit together and drink freely, so as not to disturb the normal life of the people in the city.

After waiting for a few days and not seeing the Beihu soldiers and horses attacking, let King Zuo Xian go back alone and worry about his safety, Lu Shouwen sent a team of more than ten people to the desert. On the way, they encountered the Beihu military camp and shot arrows far away, and then returned on horseback, and the arrow shaft was tied with a cloth written in Beihu script, and it was simply explained that they should send someone to pick up King Zuoxian.

In the following days, from time to time, a small number of Beihu cavalry went around the city to test the truth.

The garrison did not pay any attention to them, and as long as they did not interfere with the people who were harvesting outside the city, they were allowed to roam at will.

Five days later, a Beihu team of more than 1,000 people came to the west city gate on horseback, lined up neatly, and displayed the flag at a glance, which was well-trained

Elite soldiers.

A man rode forward and said in a loud voice, "We have come to greet King Zuoxian, and you must keep your word." He spoke the language of the Dawu Dynasty, and the defenders of the city could understand it.

The officers and soldiers defending the city did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran back to inform Lu Shouwen and them.

Everyone went up to the city wall to watch, Gu Shengchao was overjoyed, and arched his hand towards the person under the city and said, "Brother Xian Yu Tie is not harmed, junior brother Gu Shengchao is polite."

Xian Yutie on horseback replied, "The Shengchao brothers are brave and strategic, and this battle has been out of the limelight and has opened our eyes. I heard that you are going to release our King Zuoxian, but is this true?"

"It's true, Brother Xian Tie waits a little, let's let King Zuo Xian out of the city." Gu Shengchao replied.

The city gate slowly opened, and King Zuo Xian walked out alone.

The Beihu army was afraid that there would be an ambush in the city, and when King Zuo Xian had walked a distance, they rushed forward to help him get on his horse and protect King Zuo Xian to leave quickly. Xian Yu Tie waved his hand at Gu Shengchao, catching up with the team and disappearing into the distant sky.

For the next few days, no one knew what to do, because there had never been a precedent, so everyone had to be patient.

Halfway through, Gu Shengchao couldn't fall asleep thinking about his thoughts, and Wan Yanxi, who had one leg on him, just turned around and fell into a deep sleep. He had nothing to do, quietly got out of bed and went outside the room, and walked up the city wall alone and looked into the distance in a daze.

Because the commander of the Chinese army, Lu Shouwen, came to the small city in person, there were enough troops in the city, and everyone was not afraid of a sneak attack by the Beihu people, and there were not many guards patrolling the city wall, so no one disturbed Gu Shengchao's meditation.

…。。

Above the empty desert, the ancient saint super-senses were released at will, and each of them ran out of the cave

He could clearly distinguish the breath of a mouse. Under the starry sky, the vast desert is lonely and deep.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Gu Shengchao had already sensed that it was Lu Jin's breath.

"Why, you can't sleep?" Gu Shengchao didn't look back and asked softly.

Lu Jin laughed and said, "I didn't sleep at all, I just practiced late and saw you come out alone, I thought I had found something, I was also curious to follow behind, it turned out that there was nothing."

Gu Shengchao laughed: "Where are there so many accidents waiting for us, I just didn't see any movement on the side of Beihu, and I was uneasy before I went up to the city wall to blow the wind."

"Big Brother Gu is worried that Beihu is going to sneak attack us?" Lu Jin looked at the dark night in the distance, it was really difficult to find the traces of the other party if he really wanted to hide the thousands of troops

Shadow.

Gu Shengchao waited for Lu Jin to also stand beside him, and then said, "They don't have to worry about sneak attacks, real swords and real guns may not be able to take advantage of Beihu. I can't figure out the thoughts of the saints, and there is no movement on the Beihu side, so I really want to sneak over and find out what they are planning. I can't wait like this."

"Yes, I'll go with you, they won't find me anyway." Lu Jin was innocent, she was dressed in a white dress, and the strong wind in the desert swept across the city wall, and her dress was shaky.

Gu Shengchao shook his head: "It's a pity, Beihu lives by water and grass, their residence is too scattered, and it is too difficult to find the key people, this method will not work."

Lu Jin scratched his head: "Then what should we do, why don't we lead our men and horses deep into the desert to attack them again?" As soon as she finished speaking, she denied herself: "No,

The emperor also said that he couldn't take the initiative to attack them, so waiting was not a way, what else could he do? I have a headache, I'm going back to sleep, and I can't sleep if I stay with you for a while."

She was about to leave, but she saw Gu Shengchao's expression become solemn, and her eyes looked into the distance.

In the silence of the night, nothing could be seen in the dark.

After a while, Lu Jin vaguely heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from in the distance, she pointed over there and whispered, "There seems to be a horse running over there?"

Gu Shengchao nodded, the two listened quietly, and after less than a tea time, he said softly: "One ride in front, the breath is a little unstable, and the back ......" He sensed silently, and finally said, "There are hundreds of horses chasing behind."

"No, it's not the siege period now, and our people don't have to go around Beihu when they come here." Lu Jin was puzzled and looked into the distance seriously.

At this moment, all the guards patrolling the city wall heard the movement, and when they saw that the ancient saint was standing in place like Mount Tai, they were all relieved, and looked in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves came from in the night.

The sound of horses' hooves is becoming clearer, and the wind is already approaching.

Suddenly, Gu Shengchao said nervously, "It's not good, the person in front is Brother Xian Yu Tie, he seems to be injured and chased here by the people behind."

"No, did Big Brother Gu hear it wrong?" Lu Jin didn't believe it.

As soon as she finished speaking, she rode out of the night.

The man was dressed in the usual robe worn by the Beihu people, and a feathered arrow was inserted in his back, and the cluster and shaft of the arrow pierced deep into the body, leaving only the feathers exposed.

"Brother Xian Yu Tie, what's wrong with you?" Gu Shengchao saw it clearly, and he jumped down from the city wall and stopped in front of his horse.

The horses were frightened

Disturbed, hissing was about to turn, and was stopped by the reins of Xianyu Iron on the horse.

Gu Shengchao stepped forward and said in surprise, "It's really Brother Xian Yu Tie, why are you injured?"

The red blood was soaked in Xian Yu's iron back, and he couldn't afford to fall off his horse, so Gu Shengchao stepped forward to hug him to avoid being injured again.

"Brother Shengchao save me." After Xian Yutie said this, he fainted.
