Volume 1 The Heaven in the Pot Chapter 136 The Abandoned Son
Jiuqu's scouts were searching everywhere, and Qiao Zheng limped into their sight.
"Little General! Are you alright? ”
Seeing Qiao Zheng appear, everyone was first overjoyed, and then looking at his appearance, everyone was shocked again, in their eyes, the brave little general was actually injured!
"Stay away from me!" Qiao Zheng pushed away the soldiers who came over to support him with some displeasure, and insisted on walking back by himself.
Back in the team, Qiao Qi and Xue Mu, who had just gotten the news, had already greeted them.
"Father-in-law, the child is back."
Qiao Qi asked with a solemn face, "Who hurt you?" He knows Qiao Zheng's strength better than anyone else, and in his eyes, when it comes to individual combat, there are few people in the entire empire who can hurt Qiao Zheng.
Qiao Zheng shook his head and said, "It's not that someone else was injured, it's caused by the child falling into a trap when chasing someone." ”
Qiao Qi was stunned, and then a little annoyed: "How many times has my father told you not to chase after you?" ”
Seeing Qiao Qi angry, Qiao Zheng's heart warmed: "The child knows that he is wrong." ”
"It's not good to stay here for a long time, those people may have to come over, since the little general is safe, let's set off quickly." Xue Mu played a round road.
"Those people won't come and harass us anymore." Qiao Zheng said.
Qiao Qi and Xue Mu looked at him in surprise, and Qiao Qi asked, "Who are they?" ”
Qiao Zheng looked at Qiao Qi: "Has my father-in-law heard of the 'Anti-Forest Alliance'?" ”
Qiao Qi was slightly stunned when he heard this name that he hadn't heard for more than ten years, and then he said a little incredulously: "You mean they are the people of the 'Anti-Forest Alliance'?" The Lin dynasty has fallen, but this organization is still there? ”
Qiao Zheng explained: "Their current name is 'Anti-Dugu Alliance'. ”
The corners of Qiao Qi's mouth hooked up a sneer: "Sure enough, it's a group of people with wine bags and rice bags, and they can't do anything but rebel." Then he was a little puzzled: "What are they doing to intercept us?" ”
Qiao Zheng took out the map from his sleeve and handed it to Qiao Qi.
Qiao Qi was stunned, he took the map, and said in surprise: "This is?" ”
"This is a gift from the world's three wonders."
Three wonders in the world!
Qiao Qi and Xue Mu were shocked at the same time, and Xue Mu said: "You have seen the three wonders of the world?" ”
"Did your father-in-law remember the Taoist who was wanted in Youzhou City?"
"Could it be him?"
Qiao Zheng nodded, then shook his head and said, "That Dao chief claims to be one of the three wonders, and I don't know if it's true or not." ”
"Judging from what he did in Youzhou, I believe him a little." Xue Mudao.
Qiao Qi opened the map, looked at the markers on the map, and asked Qiao Zheng, "What are these?" ”
Before Qiao Zheng could speak, Xue Mu looked at the location of these marks and gasped: "Baiyi Zhubu!" ”
Qiao Zheng said: "I'll talk about these later, look here!" Qiao Zheng pointed to a junction between Luzhou and Yizhou and said, "If I'm not mistaken, our plan is to enter Yizhou from here, right?" ”
"Not bad."
"The Dao Commander said that the Beifu Iron Rider is already waiting for us here."
"Impossible!"
Xue Mu listened to Qiao Zheng's retelling, and subconsciously blurted out. Then he widened his eyes and looked at the dead word on the map in surprise: "The route of his own side is known only to himself, how did the chief guess it?" Thinking of the identity of the Dao Chief, the momentum in Xue Mu's heart weakened a little, but he still didn't believe in the evil way: "That Yuwen Hu is so powerful?" We arrived at the border one step ahead of schedule? ”
Qiao Zheng said unceremoniously: "General Xue, we can't joke with our father-in-law's life!" ”
Xue Mu calmed down, his voice was a little tired: "If this road doesn't work, where should we go?" Do you want to go south to Yangzhou? ”
Qiao Zheng said: "That Dao Chang let us go here." ”
Looking at what Qiao Zheng pointed to on the map, Xue Mu was surprised and said, "What does the old way mean to let us go to the desert?" ”
Qiao Zheng said: "If the three wonders of the world are really as divine as you say, I think his suggestion can be considered." ”
Qiao Qi and Qiao Zheng both looked at Xue Mu, as the think tank of Jiuqu, Xue Mu had to think carefully, after thinking about it for a long time, he gave up his original plan, he looked at the two of them: "Teacher, we can go to the desert, but we have to prepare for both." ”
In such a short period of time, Xue Mu thought of a way to deal with it, and Qiao Qi's eyes were very pleased
"Why do you need to do both?" Qiao Zheng asked.
"If, as the old Taoist said, the Beifu Iron Cavalry has set up an ambush on our way, then according to the schedule, if we do not appear in front of them, it will inevitably make them suspicious, and as long as they send some people to intercept them in the desert, it is very likely that we will still be wiped out. My idea is that we should divide up some of our men and continue to hurry according to the original plan, so as to attract the attention of the Northern Iron Riders and drag us out of the desert. ”
"In that case, wouldn't there be no hope of escaping for these people?" Qiao Zheng quickly grasped the key point.
Xue Mu nodded and said, "These are all outcasts. ”
"Abandoned son?" Qiao Qi's eyes were a little painful, these children followed him here, did they want to let them die at the last moment?
Xue Mu looked at Qiao Qi's expression, knowing his concerns, and said in a deep voice: "For the safety of most people, sometimes sacrifice is inevitable, besides, they are not without a way to live, if what the Dao Chief said is false information, if there is no existence of the Beifu Iron Cavalry, this part of the people is the safest." ”
Qiao Qi's voice was a little bitter: "Then who are you going to send?" ”
"It's a very simple thing, don't we have some soldiers in our team who have been transferred from Youzhou? Wouldn't it be nice to let them go? ”
Listening to Qiao Zheng's words, Qiao Qi's eyes lit up, and then he thought of something, and his eyes dimmed again.
Xue Mu knew that Qiao Zheng understood the key point, and he said to Qiao Zheng: "No, if these people are these unstable existences, wouldn't it ruin our big things if they escaped in time?" We can only choose to send the most faithful people, and we cannot tell them the truth. ”
"Do you choose the most faithful of your men to die? What's the difference between this and betrayal? No matter how ruthless Qiao Zheng's heart was, he couldn't accept this approach. He thought for a moment and said, "Why don't I go?" ”
"You?"
"With my ability, it will be difficult for even the Beifu Iron Rider to arrest me. And if I go with me, I can still suppress the soldiers below. ”
Qiao Qi said coldly: "Who was just captured alive?" ”
Qiao Zheng's face turned red and defended: "That was my momentary negligence, and if it weren't for me, who else could control the people below?" ”
"I've got a choice."
Xue Mu said in a deep voice.
