Volume 1 Pot in the Sky Chapter 139 The soldiers are red pine forests
"This is the one you picked?" Xue Mu looked at Su Yan coldly.
"The lowly position is just a few random picks." Su Yan bowed his head and replied.
Xue Mu frowned and looked behind Su Yan, there was no figure from a family like Song Cheng in it, they were all young faces, some people were not even from the family, the only thing that Xue Mu was slightly familiar with was the daughter of Liu Wanxiu.
"Could it be that I am thinking too much? Or is there something wrong with the identity of one of these people? ”
Xue Mu's gaze carefully swept over everyone's faces, trying to find the flaws in these people.
Su Yan on the side pinched a cold sweat in his heart, and was secretly glad that he had listened to Song Cheng's warning and did not bring the prince and them into the team.
"Why don't you bring a character like Yang Qian or Liu Wanxiu with you?" After Xue Mu didn't find any clues, he asked the doubts in his heart.
Su Xi explained: "Those big people must be of great use to the general, in case the subordinates make a mistake, it is really not good." ”
Xue Mu didn't let down his guard because of Su Yan's lowered posture, he closed his eyes and thought for a while and said, "These people stay, and you pick out another group of people from the rest." ”
"Huh?"
Su Yan was surprised: "My lord, why is this? ”
Xue Mu pretended to be considerate: "What are these people you chose?" In case you're surrounded, do you think the other side will let you go because of them? ”
"Yes." Su Yan looked anxious, and his gaze inadvertently looked at Liu Qingyao.
Xue Mu was immediately alert, could it be that there was something wrong with the daughter of the head of the Liu family? He asked, "What do you have to do with this girl?" ”
Su Yan was stunned, and said: "We have nothing, but we have some admiration for Miss Liu's demeanor." ”
Xue Mu looked at Su Yan for a while, then his brows stretched and he smiled: "Don't worry, Miss Liu will be safe to stay in the army." ”
Su Yan's face fell, he arched his hand at Xue Mu and walked towards the center of the team.
Su Yan walked back, and shouted in his heart: "Sure enough!" Xue Mu is too terrifying, until now he is still doubting me, fortunately with Song Cheng's words, otherwise I am afraid that I am already a dead soul under his knife now. ”
Using Miss Liu as a shield was his temporary idea, with Xue Mu's suspicious and cautious personality, even if he couldn't see Liu Qingyao's problem, he would pay part of his attention to Liu Qingyao or even Liu Wanxiu, but what does this have to do with him?
In the City Lord's Mansion in Youzhou City, he had already killed many people from the family, if it weren't for Miss Tang and the prince's entrustment, he didn't want to care about the rest of the family at all.
Liu Wanxiu saw Su Yan returning in a hurry, but he didn't see his daughter, he stepped forward and asked urgently, "Didn't you say that you could leave safely with Qingyao?" How did you get back? What about Qingyao? ”
Su Yan said apologetically: "Xue Mu is too suspicious, and the group of people I just selected can't leave." ”
"What?!"
"The head of the Liu family is relieved, Miss Qingyao will not be in danger, presumably she will be released back after I take someone away." After Su Yan finished speaking, he looked at Song Cheng and asked, "Mr. Three, are you willing to leave with me?" ”
Song Cheng raised his eyebrows and pointed at himself: "Xue Muken let me leave with you?" ”
Su Xi nodded and said: "Xue Mu promised me that I could take away a big man of the family, due to my negligence, Miss Qingyao has aroused Xue Mu's suspicions, so it has become difficult for the head of the Liu family to leave, what does Mr. San think?" Although I don't know what Xue Mu's intentions are, since he has the opportunity to leave the army, he has the opportunity to escape halfway. ”
Song Cheng was a little moved, but after thinking for a moment, he still shook his head and said, "You take Yang Qian away, I will stay to protect my old friend and His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"So that the gentleman knows, I plan to leave with His Royal Highness the Prince."
Song Cheng looked at Su Yan seriously: "You are sure that the prince will not be noticed by Xue Mu." ”
Su Yan said: "Xue Mu doesn't have much time, not to mention that his current energy should be focused on those people in Fang Cai. ”
......
As Su Yan said, when Su Yan came to Xue Mu again with Yang Qian, Shen Ye and others, Xue Mu was still examining Fang Cai's people.
"I thought you would choose Liu Wanxiu." Xue Mu seemed to say unintentionally.
Su Yan's face was ugly, and he said, "General, don't make fun of me, the head of the Liu family doesn't know my admiration for Miss Qingyao at all." ”
Seeing Su Yan's reaction, Xue Mu really believed it, he smiled, and asked again: "Why did you choose Yang Qian instead of Chang Wenhua and Song Cheng?" ”
Su Yan said: "There are a few dead soldiers next to Chang Wenhua, I don't want to provoke them, as for Song Cheng, that person next to me will only make me nervous." ”
Xue Mu said disappreciatively: "Song Cheng is now covered with injuries all over his body, you don't have to be afraid of him." ”
"I'm afraid he's pretending." Su Yan reminded.
Xue Mu shook his head and said, "You have a heart, I have tested him, and now Song Cheng is not worried." ”
"It's me who thinks too much."
"Su Xi, you, very good." Xue Mu praised.
Su Yan's successive perfect answers made Xue Mu completely dispel his doubts about him, and at this moment, Xue Mu couldn't bear to send Su Yan to death.
Xue Mu said in a concerned tone: "You take people to leave first as the vanguard, send more scouts on the way to explore the way, if you encounter an ambush and can't escape, remember not to resist desperately." ”
"Huh?" Su Yan's heart moved, and he heard the meaning of Xue Mu's words, "Could it be that my people will encounter an ambush?" ”
"General, how can we contact you after we leave?" Su Yan asked.
"After arriving at the border of Luzhou, you will wait in place, and in less than half a day, we will meet you."
"Half a day? Half a day is enough. Su Yan summed it up in his heart, and then hugged his fists and said, "Then without further ado, I'll take someone to set off now." ”
After getting Xue Mu's permission, Su Yan turned his head and exchanged glances with Shen Ye, and the tense nerves of both of them relaxed.
"Wait!"
At this moment, a slightly green voice came, and Qiao Zheng held a spear to block the way of Su Yan and the others.
Shen Ye in the crowd immediately lowered his head when he saw this, and Su Yan looked at Qiao Zheng nervously, not knowing what he was going to do.
Qiao Zheng walked up to Su Yan with a solemn face, looked at his eyes and said, "If you are really from our side, after this mission, let's have a good discussion." ”
Su Yan was flattered and said: "The little general is serious, and he is already General Xue's person a long time ago." ”
Qiao Zheng nodded and made way of the way.
Su Yan held the reins in his hand and silently digested Qiao Zheng's words.
The feeling revealed by what Qiao Zheng and Xue Mu said was more like their own people going to die, could it be that the traces of this army have been leaked? The empire has laid a large number of ambushes on the border of Luzhou? But on the premise of having ambush soldiers, wouldn't Xue Mu and these people be wiped out?
Unless, unless Xue Mu plans to find another way, thinking of this possibility, Su Xin's eyes suddenly lit up.
Xue Mu watched Su Yan and the others leave with a complicated expression, in his eyes, these people were about to embark on a road of no return, but they didn't know that in Su Yan's opinion, this was the only way to live.
