The general defending the city had a solemn face, and as he walked, he replied: "The military doctor said that he was covered with scaly wounds all over his body, which should have been caused by the siege, and the injuries on his body were injured by the special scimitar made by the southwest Yi, the injury was too serious, the blood loss was excessive, and he was hopeless, and it was already incredible to survive until now, what is the specific situation, I don't know for the time being." ”

Weapons are also controlled products in the southwest, ordinary people are not allowed to make weapons privately, and special scimitars are used to arm the army.

It is conceivable that the one who seriously injured the secret guard must be the soldiers of Yue Xi.

Is it the nobleman's private soldier, or the guards in the city?

So the more the edict over there......

When the dark guard saw Luo Yan, a light appeared in his eyes, and he opened his mouth weakly, and a stream of blood appeared in his mouth.

"The Zhao family rebelled, took refuge in Yun China, put Sheng Lilong under house arrest, and launched a mutiny."

Luo Yan suspected that he had misheard, and hurriedly approached the secret guard.

He held his last breath and used all his strength: "The guards who transported the supplies are Piroye's people, and Piroye is about to send troops to Dali, so be sure to raise your vigilance and prepare for battle." ”

Luo Yan's face changed, and a storm was set off in his heart.

"Save the eldest princess," the dark guard, whose eyes were dim and dying, suddenly grabbed his hand, his eyes widened, and his eyes burst with hope, "Go, go and save the eldest princess." ”

After saying a word, he rolled his eyes, he was already dead of anger, the secret guard was too seriously injured, and he took his last breath to send the news to Dali City.

Luo Yan's brain was dizzy, and it took a while to come to his senses, looking at the bloodied corpse in front of him, it was almost conceivable how many companions had been sacrificed to cover him, break through the many levels, and fight his last breath to send such a terrifying news back to Dali City.

He had mixed feelings in his heart, the life and death of the eldest princess were unknown at the moment, General Zhengnan didn't know when he would arrive, and Piroye's army would come to the city at any time.

What should he do?

Luo Yan's face changed for a moment, and finally spoke: "Quietly send the body of the secret guard to the post station, and hand it over to Miss Yingluo, don't leak the news." ”

"Where are the guards who are responsible for transporting supplies in the Yue Xi edict?"

The relatives immediately replied: "Garrison the camp in the north of the city." ”

"Okay, send me a batch of good wine that I prepared earlier, and if they ask, they say it's for the sake of rewarding the soldiers." Luo Yan leaned into his ear and whispered a few words, which was nothing more than moving his hands and feet in the wine.

Before the war, it was a common practice to have good wine and meat in the army, and the soldiers also knew that this was the severed head wine before the war.

They will not doubt.

Then he lowered his voice: "There is still Piroye's internal response in the city, who is always watching us, our people, don't act rashly for the time being, so as not to arouse their vigilance, please ask the two hundred imperial city guards who stayed at the post station to assist, and wipe them out tonight." ”

There was a cruelty in his eyes.

After giving these orders, Luo Yan quickly wrote a letter, stuffed it into the envelope together with the blank paper seal, and called his own soldiers: "Immediately hurry up, hand over this letter to General Zhengnan, and let General Zhengnan come quickly." ”

Qi Zaiyuan's army may be on the way, maybe they can meet it.

……

"It's dark." Looking at the last rays of afterglow on the horizon, which were also engulfed in darkness, Jiang Fuguang's heart was heavy.

Ji Ruxuan found a dry ground, cleaned up the stones, and spread a felt blanket: "There is no cave near here, let's rest here for a while." ”

Jiang Fuguang sat down, silently took the dry food handed by Ji Ruxuan, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed numbly.

She ate only one piece and couldn't eat it anymore.

Throughout the day, the chasing soldiers were in full pursuit, and the mountains were full of murderous opportunities, but fortunately, Ji Ruxuan could discern the direction in the deep mountains and old forests, not only did they not get lost in the mountains, but also threw off the pursuers.

Jiang Fuguang looked up at the heavy twilight overhead: "Are they still alive?" ”

She was talking about those she sent out to deliver letters.

Ji Ruxuan was silent for a moment: "There must be someone alive." ”

Jiang Fuguang's eyelashes fluttered, he raised his head blankly, looked at him with teary eyes, and his whole person was full of helplessness.

Ji Ruxuan looked at her fixedly: "After crossing this mountain, you will arrive in Dali, everything is still in time, and the news that the secret guards can't send, we will definitely be able to send it." ”

"I promise."

"But," Jiang Fuguang's voice was hoarse and choked, "Piroye's army will soon be in the city, and we will not have time." ”

"It's too late, you and I," Ji Ruxuan held her shoulder, "From the border of Yuexi to Dali City, even if the horse is fast, it will take a whole day, Piroye leads an army of 100,000, the speed of the march cannot be compared to the horse, even if it is the advance army, it must arrive after dark." ”

Jiang Fuguang didn't understand the things about marching and fighting, and after listening to his analysis, he gradually calmed down.

"After the arrival of the advance army, it will not immediately attack the city, but will set up camp and wait for the main army behind to join the main army, and the main army will run for a long time, and the soldiers must be sleepy and tired, and they also need to rest, for Piroye, the best time to attack the city is after the third watch, this is the time when the human body is most sleepy, and the guards in the city are the most lax."

Jiang Fuguang asked in a dumb voice: "How long do we have to walk before we can reach Dali City?" ”

After escaping for a day and a night, she could no longer describe herself as exhausted, she only knew that her legs were paralyzed, she was almost unconscious, as long as she stopped, even the cracks in her bones were oozing a heart-piercing pain, she didn't know how long she could hold on.

"Three hours on the fast side, four hours on the slow side." Ji Ruxuan conservatively estimated that he shouldn't have said too much.

It was already dark, and when it was almost time, Jiang Fuguang silently lowered his head, ate another piece of dry and hard bait, and drank some water.

"Let's go!"

The mountain road is difficult, Ji Ruxuan is exploring the road in front, after Wei Si's warning is broken, Jiang Fuguang tied a thick rope around his waist, and let Wei Twelve pull her, stumbling, staggering forward, in front of a steep hillside, strange rocks, the girl pulled the thick rope hard, gritted her teeth upward.

Ji Ruxuan lowered her eyes and looked down at the figure approaching.

The girl fell well, and finally climbed up the hillside, and sat on the ground in a disorderly manner, and her whole face was disgraced.

"Jun Xuan."

She gasped and shouted at him, but her eyes were clear and clear, reflecting the bright light of the fire.

"I climbed up."

She raised her face, the tip of her nose was stained with mud, her eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, and her tone was a little proud, as if she was coquettish.

Ji Ruxuan walked over, helped her up, rubbed the black mud on the tip of her nose, and pointed forward: "We have arrived." ”

Jiang Fuguang's eyes widened, in the dark night, a towering city, quietly creeping, the city was lit with stars and candles, it was so majestic and magnificent. ”

"We're here."
