In the camp on the east side of the inner city, after Meng Feng heard Xue Mu explain what happened, he said with a solemn face: "I think you have to leave for Yaoshan immediately." ”

Qiao Qi looked at Xue Mu, and when he saw Xue Mu pondering there, he asked Meng Feng, "How can we ensure that there is no army stationed in the Xuanzhou area on the southern front?" ”

Meng Feng said: "The only army that can be mobilized in Xuanzhou now is the Dongdaying, and the Dongdaying is thousands of miles away from Youzhou, even if the light cavalry of the Dongdaying arrives overnight, they will not be able to reach the Youxuan border in these days." ”

Although Qiao Zheng regarded himself as highly powerful, he also knew that his side could not compete with the regular army of the Dugu family with bravery alone, so he hurriedly said: "Lord Meng is right, while the other party has not yet encircled us, we must leave as soon as possible." ”

Although Qiao Qi longed to go to Dongyi in his heart, hoping to make a comeback over there one day, but the situation forced him, and there was nothing he could do at this time, so he had to give up, so he nodded regretfully.

At this time, Meng Feng also noticed Xue Mu, who was silent and pondering alone, and he asked, "Senior brother has been thinking hard for a long time, could it be a good plan?" ”

Xue Mu came to his senses and looked at everyone: "I didn't come up with any good solutions, I just felt that things were a little weird." ”

He looked at the puzzled eyes of the people around him and said in a deep voice: "Fuzhou must have sent troops to wait for us, but I don't understand, why did the soldiers of Fuzhou just intercept on the border, instead of besieging Youzhou City?" ”

General Zhao said: "I think it should be a lack of troops. ”

Xue Mu shook his head and said: "Zhi'an has never fought with the Beifu Iron Cavalry, I don't know its combat strength, in fact, only a few hundred Beifu Iron Cavalry can kill us cleanly, and I think there are more than a thousand cavalry in the official road alone." ”

Meng Feng and General Zhao looked at each other and were puzzled.

Xue Mu said to himself: "I think they are deliberately letting us go to Nayao Mountain. ”

"How is that possible? How can these thieves be so kind? Qiao Zhengqi said.

"If it's not kindness, it's that they're afraid." Xue Mu calculated.

After all, Qiao Qi has rich experience, and he also reacted at this time: "Afraid? Are you saying they're worried that we'll stay in town all the time? ”

Xue Mu frowned and said, "Yes, I think if I stay in the city, it will make them feel jealous." ”

Meng Feng said clearly: "Are they afraid that we will take the children of the family in the city as hostages?" ”

Xue Mu looked at Meng Feng steadily: "If I were Dugu Qi, I would still take the risk of attacking the city when I heard that the children of the family and the teacher were here, even if the children of the family were killed, I would pass the responsibility to the teacher, the family was already too big to lose, and I could just take this opportunity to weaken their strength." ”

Meng Feng said: "Then why, is there anyone in my Youzhou City who is more valued by the Dugu family than the children of the family?" ”

Then he suddenly remembered something and looked at Xue Mu suddenly.

Xue Mu was also looking at him closely at this time, and said with a hint of uncertainty in his eyes: "I suspect that the prince of the Dugu family is now in this Youzhou City!" ”

There was silence in the big tent, and there was a complicated light in everyone's eyes, Qiao Qi looked at Xue Mu with a little deep meaning: "Don't talk nonsense. ”

Xue Mu looked at Qiao Qi's eyes, then looked at Meng Feng and General Zhao, and hesitated for a moment: "I didn't believe it originally, but if it weren't for the prince here, why would the Beifu Iron Cavalry dare to disobey the emperor's order and leave Fuzhou, and now why is the Fuzhou army afraid of the border." ”

Xue Mu said to Meng Feng, who was pale: "Senior brother, have you ever asked the prince about the imperial capital?" ”

Meng Feng shook his head when he thought of the letter he burned that day.

General Zhao said: "If the prince is really in Youzhou, what should we do?" ”

Qiao Zheng said coldly: "Of course, find him, exchange him for the safety of my father-in-law and my thousands of soldiers, and then let them send us to Yizhou." ”

General Zhao said secretly in his heart: "If this is the case, we will not be able to escape the blame!" He asked, "Are you still withdrawing?" ”

Several people were silent, this is a very difficult choice, now the collective retreat, what awaits them is the slaughter of the Beifu Iron Cavalry, that is, they are scattered and left, and safety cannot be guaranteed on the road, and if the prince is really in the city, with the prince as a hostage, he and others can retreat with their whole body, but what if the prince is not in the city?

Qiao Qi looked at Xue Mu and said, "Are you sure?" ”

Xue Mu hesitated for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "That's it, let's not take the risk later, now take advantage of the night, let's disperse and leave." ”

Qiao Qi sighed with a little regret, and then looked at Meng Feng and Zhao Shenjiang and said secretly in his heart: "I don't know how Xiaofeng and them will survive the difficulties after I leave." ”

"My lord! An urgent letter came from outside the city! Someone outside the tent suddenly shouted.

Several people glanced at each other, and Meng Feng said, "Come in!" ”

Meng Feng took the letter, sent his subordinates away, looked at the fire paint on the letter was intact, and the envelope was written with the words "The state capital is personally opened", he frowned, and under the gaze of several people, he opened the envelope, he just glanced at it a few times, and his face changed greatly.

Seeing this, Xue Mu walked over, leaned to the side to take a look, and immediately widened his eyes, as if he couldn't believe what he saw, and after a while, his brows stretched, and he said in a trembling voice: "Teacher, I'm okay!" There was a joy in his voice that could not be concealed.

Meng Feng watched indifferently as Qiao Zheng snatched the letter from his hand, he closed his eyes in pain, he couldn't have imagined that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really in Youzhou City, or the person he couldn't imagine.

"Prince Dugu's pseudonym is Shen Ye, and now he is hidden among the hundred schools......"

After reading what was written in the letter, Qiao Zheng's eyes flashed, and he said: "When I wait for safety, I will slash this son of a traitor and sacrifice my Jiuqu soldiers to the spirit of the sky!" ”

"Dare!"

Hearing this, Meng Feng suddenly opened his eyes, pulled out his sword from General Zhao's waist, and pointed it at Qiao Zheng.

Qiao Zheng looked at Meng Feng unmoved, and said coldly: "What? So far, could it be that Mengzhou Mansion still wants to be a loyal minister of the Dugu family? ”

Meng Feng lowered his eyelids: "The Dugu family is kind to me, I can't see their heirs die because of me." ”

Qiao Zheng smiled: "That's good, then you can tie up me, Xue Mu, my father-in-law and thousands of soldiers to invite merit, let the world know that you Mengzhou Mansion is a person who is affectionate and righteous, respects teachers, maybe Dugu Qi can reward you with a knighthood." ”

Looking at Meng Feng's painful and struggling eyes, Xue Mu knew what he was thinking, and said sincerely: "Senior brother, I know that the Dugu family treats you well, but in the current situation, if we don't take the prince as a hostage, how can the teacher escape from Youzhou?" What Qiao Zheng said was just angry words, I promise you, before I enter the mountains and forests of Yizhou, I will not move a single hair of Duguyun. ”

The sword in Meng Feng's hand had not yet been put down, and Xue Mu hurriedly said, "Senior brother! The life and death of thousands of our soldiers are in your thoughts! ”

Meng Feng put down the sword in his hand in a dejected manner, the corner of Qiao Zheng's mouth sneered, and just as he was about to make a mockery, he saw Qiao Qi's old Shangshu's stern gaze, and Qiao Zheng had no choice but to give up.

Zhao Shenjiang said with a worried face at this time: "Lord Shangshu, you will take the prince with you when you go, what should I do if we wait for those who stay in Youzhou?" The court will definitely not let us go! ”

"This ......," the old man Qiao Qi looked at Xue Mu in embarrassment.

Xue Mu's brows tightened, and he hesitated: "Otherwise, you two will take the soldiers of Youzhou with me?" ”

General Zhao said emotionally: "We took you in because of the kindness of Lao Shangshu to us back then, we didn't want to be enemies of the imperial court, and now you want me to be charged with rebellion?" The families of my Youzhou soldiers are all here, do you want us to abandon our families and flee with you? ”

Meng Feng pressed General Zhao, who was about to run away, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I have a way." ”

……

"What's the solution?" Shen Ye and a few people were trapped in the courtyard in the north of the city, Bai Zihuan couldn't sleep at night, and was walking around on the ground anxiously, hearing that Shen Ye had a way to leave, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Ask for help." Shen Ye said.

Bai Zihuan said outside the window with his mouth: "There are guards guarding outside, do you want me to wait and ask them for help and let them let us out?" ”

"Of course not." Shen Ye shook his head.

Bai Zihuan pointed to Bai Youyou, who was asleep next to him, and said, "You won't talk about my sister." ”

Shen Ye rolled his eyes and said, "How is it possible?" Shen Ye looked in the direction of the state capital's mansion.

"Oh, my brother, don't sell it." Bai Zihuan sat next to Shen Ye and said with annoyance.

Shen Ye retracted his gaze: "My uncle now lives in the study of the adults in the state capital, and he has some friendship with the Mengzhou government, so I want to ask my uncle to help us." ”

Bai Zihuan said deflatedly: "Even if your uncle can help us, but we are so strictly regarded that we can't spread the news to the outside world at all, so how can people know?" ”

"There is a miracle doctor in Youzhou City, who is good at treating head diseases, and he has won the trust of the state capital, and he is also familiar with my uncle of the Shen family." Shen Ye said slowly.

Bai Zihuan listened to these puzzling words, and said, "How do you talk about this?" ”

Shen Ye asked, "How important is the Hundred Brothers to the Hundred Families?" ”

Bai Zihuan seemed to understand a little bit of what Shen Ye was going to do, and he replied: "Although I haven't taken over the affairs of the family yet, after all, I am the eldest son of the head of the family and the future patriarch, and I still have some weight in the hearts of my Bai family and Mengzhou Mansion." ”

Shen Ye said: "If Brother Bai suddenly has a head disease, and the pain is worse than death, what will the state capital do?" ”

Bai Zihuan's eyes lit up and continued: "In order to prevent me from having an accident and explain to Baijia, he will immediately ask the famous doctor Xun to see a doctor for me, and we can ask him at this time." Then he frowned and said, "But what if someone is watching us?" ”

Shen Ye said: "Elder Xun has seen me a few times, as long as he sees me, he will naturally understand my situation, and you only need to secretly inform Elder Xun that Uncle Shen Song is placed in the study of the state mansion." ”

Bai Zihuan looked at Shen Ye with a calm face and said, "Brother Xian, you seem to believe in your Shen family's uncle, does he really have the ability to help us regain our freedom?" ”

Shen Ye shrugged his shoulders and said, "In the current situation, apart from Uncle Shen Song, I can't think of anyone else who can help us, Mr. Song Jiasan?" I'm not sure. ”

"Knock knock! Knock knock! ”

The watchman outside the courtyard passed by, Shen Ye and Bai Zihuan were slightly tired in their eyes, Shen Ye said: "Brother Bai, the second watch day is here, let's take a break today, and I'll improve the plan tomorrow." ”

Shen Ye got up and was just about to leave Bai Zihuan's bedroom when he heard a sound at the gate outside the courtyard, and when the two looked out the window, the courtyard was already as bright as daylight with torches.
