The road in Luzhou is dusty.

The faces of the Jiuqu soldiers who had been marching for many days were haggard, and everyone's eyes were a little gloomy.

"Drive!"

A few horses came in front of him, and Xue Mu perked up, knowing that it was time for him and the others to part ways.

Sure enough, the scout grabbed the reins and said, "My lord, there is a red pine forest a few miles ahead. ”

The red pine forest is a famous scenery in the wild of Luzhou, and it is also the best entrance to the Motag Desert.

Seeing this, Xue Mu issued a military order: "Stop advancing, and the whole army will rest for an hour." ”

The soldiers in the team were all relieved, and they collapsed to the ground without even taking off their armor.

Xue Mu sighed in his heart, fortunately, he and the others were informed in advance of the three strange things in the world, if his side arrived at the border of Luzhou in this state at this time, the iron cavalry of Beifu, which had been in ambush for a long time, would come out from both sides. Thinking of this, a chill surged on Xue Mu's body, and he shivered.

The state of the soldiers is still like this, the people of the family are even more uncomfortable, Yan Ru, who is sitting in front of Shen Ye, has long been unable to care about the difference between men and women, since yesterday she has asked Shen Ye to tie the two together with ropes, Yan Ru has basically hung on Shen Ye's body these days, even so, at this moment she is also sallow, extremely weak, this is the result of many days of exhaustion and vomiting.

Although Shen Ye also revealed fatigue between his eyebrows and eyes at this time, his state was obviously much better than that of the people of the family, and he even looked more energetic than the soldiers of Jiuqu, which made Song Cheng and Liu Wanxiu on the side secretly surprised. Song Cheng sat on the ground, rubbed his numb legs and said: "It is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the heart and soul of the saint, who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and is not good at riding and hunting, and now it seems that we have all been deceived by the emperor and the saint." Thinking of this prince's performance these days, it can be said that he is brave and strategic, Song Cheng sighed: "The worries of those old guys are superfluous, and the empire founded by Duguli can last for many years." ”

Liu Wanxiu next to him sighed.

Song Cheng glanced at him: "What?" Are you not happy to see such a prince? ”

Liu Wanxiu smiled bitterly: "I don't know if we help the prince like this, whether he will take revenge in the future." ”

Song Cheng was silent, he heard the meaning of Liu Wanxiu's words, the reason why Liu Wanxiu, Yang Qian and others risked their lives to protect the prince was to put it bluntly, for the sake of their own family's future, but did the prince really appreciate it? Maybe he will take care of the affection now, but what about the future, when the conflict between the family and the royal family breaks out again in a few decades, what awaits his family?

Da-da-da-da.

The sound of weeds being trampled on sounded, and Su Yan staggered to Song Cheng's side and sat down slowly.

Liu Wanxiu was very jealous of Su Yan, he stared at Su Yan's face vigilantly and said, "Your Excellency has something?" ”

Song Cheng raised his hand to Liu Wanxiu, signaling him not to be nervous.

Su Yan was silent for a while and said bluntly: "I have a way to hide from Xue Mu to save you, I hope you will cooperate then." ”

Song Cheng raised his eyebrows, and was about to speak, when a soldier's shout came from afar: "Where is Su Yanren?!" Please participate! ”

Su Yan was a little surprised, he confessed his guilt and ran to the herald, leaving Song Cheng and Liu Wanxiu on the ground in a daze.

The two of them wondered in their hearts, about the big matter of their lives? Looking at Su Yan's sneaky appearance just now, and then thinking of Su Xian's constant following the prince for the past few days, the two looked at each other, and suddenly understood that Su Yan was His Royal Highness the Prince.

．．．．．．

Su Yan came to Xue Mu under the leadership of the soldiers, and looked at Xue Mu and Qiao Qi looking at him with strange eyes, Su Yan was a little careful in his heart: "Could it be that the matter between himself and the prince has been exposed?" ”

Xue Mu cleared his throat: "Su Yan, we have to give you a task." ”

"Mission?" Su Yan felt strange in his heart, seeing that he was about to arrive in Yizhou, what are these people going to do in Jiuqu?

Xue Mu pointed to the Jiuqu elite who was ready to go next to him and said: "According to our scout's report, it seems that there are officers and troops from Luzhou fortified at the border ahead, I see that you are a little alert, I want you to bring a group of people to investigate the situation." ”

"I see." Su Yan nodded secretly, and he asked, "Then I'll leave now?" ”

Qiao Zheng had some appreciation for Su Yan's decisiveness, and his gloomy face eased a lot, Qiao Zheng stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, by the way, you can pick some people from the family to go with you." ”

"Huh?" Looking at Qiao Zheng and Yan Yue's appearance, Su Yan was silent on the surface, and he was even more vigilant in his heart, he looked up at Xue Mu's strange gaze, the whole person was clever, and hurriedly said, "What are you going to do with them?" ”

Xue Mu was somewhat satisfied with Su Yan's reaction, and explained: "The main thing is for your safety, if you people are surrounded, these family members are hostages to ensure your safety." ”

The change in Xue Mu's expression did not hide Su Yan's eyes, and Su Yan's body was shocked into a cold sweat: "What an old fox, he is still testing me now." ”

Then he recalled Xue Mu's words, and Su Yan's heartbeat instantly missed half a beat.

Take someone to leave first?!

Isn't this a good time for the prince to escape!

In this way, there is no need for the prince and that Jiugao to take risks, but could this be a trap?

Su Yan struggled mentally for a long time, but in the end he still didn't resist the temptation, he couldn't care about it so much, let the prince escape first!

"Who will go with me?" Su Yan forcibly held back the trembling of his voice and said.

"Take your pick."

Hearing Xue Mu's answer, Su Yan was ecstatic in his heart.

He arched his hand and said, "Then go down and pick someone." ”

Watching Su Yan leave, Xue Mu's originally soft gaze became murderous.

Qiao Zheng was surprised when he saw this: "Something?" ”

Xue Mu said coldly: "After all, he is a young man, and the joy in his eyes can't be hidden, now let's take a look, who is he and who?" ”

．．．．．．

Su Yan returned to the center of the team, and Song Cheng and Liu Wanxiu, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted him.

Before Su Xian could speak, Song Cheng took the lead and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what plan you have to rescue us, but the old man gave you a piece of advice, then Xue Mu is not a simple character, don't think about using some low-end tricks to deceive him." ”

Song Cheng's words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing Su Cheng's high emotions, his whole person calmed down, after going through so many things, his mind was far more mature than other peers, Song Cheng's words were exactly what he was worried about before.

Su Yan thought of a possibility in his heart: "Could it be that Xue Mu is still testing me?" Worst! Then we are not exposed! ”

Su Yan's breathing gradually tightened, he looked at Song and Liu, and actively thought about how to deal with it, and suddenly his eyes glanced at Liu Qingyao, who was resting behind Liu Wanxiu, Su Yan's eyes lit up, and he said to Liu Wanxiu: "Master Liu, borrow your daughter!" ”
