After resting for a day and a night, Shi Lingyan's body gradually recovered, Shi Lingyan was a little puzzled, he hadn't seen Chu Xue since he woke up, and Chu Li seemed to be a little more worried than before.

"Brother Chu, where did Miss Chu Xue go?" Shi Lingyan asked pretending not to care, "We're about to go on the road, don't you take her with you?"

Chu Li said with a smile: "She is waiting to hurry, I will let her take the first step, Miss Shi don't have to worry about her, but your own body has not fully recovered, you will inevitably feel a little feverish now, I have to find you some medicine to clear the fire." ”

If it weren't for Chu Li's orders, how could Chu Xue be willing to leave alone, Shi Lingyan wanted to teach her a good lesson, so that she understood that she was not interested in her senior brother, but now she had to give up, Shi Lingyan didn't ask again, and the two set off.

Chu Li seemed to be very worried about Shi Lingyan's body, and he had to check Shi Lingyan's pulse every other hour, and the two of them could not travel more than a few miles in the morning, and along the way, Chu Li was looking for all kinds of herbs that could clear Shi Lingyan's fire.

"Brother Chu, how far are we from the border?" Shi Lingyan looked at Chu Li, who was seriously boiling medicine, and asked, the road they walked, the scenery became more and more barren, and Shi Lingyan had a feeling in his heart that it was not far from the border.

Chu Li brought a bowl of boiled medicine to Shi Lingyan's face, "Drink this, we are already on the border now, but this border is very large, and you have to walk a little longer to find the military camp." ”

Hearing this, Shi Lingyan suddenly had a feeling of sudden enlightenment in her heart, after tossing for so many days, she was finally about to see Mu Hua, and when she got her own things from Mu Hua, she could leave smoothly and live her own free life.

Thinking of this, the medicine in front of him didn't seem to be so difficult to swallow, Shi Lingyan drank the medicine in one gulp, and said with some excitement, "Then let's hurry up and get on the road." ”

Chu Li smiled slightly and set off with Shi Lingyan.

Seeing that the two were about to separate, Shi Lingyan seemed to feel that she had neglected something, she patted her head, this Chu Li not only saved herself from danger, but also took good care of herself along the way, if it weren't for Chu Li, I was afraid that I would not go to the border so smoothly, this friend is worth making, Shi Lingyan pretended to look at Chu Li casually, "I haven't had a chance to ask, what is Brother Chu doing at the border?"

Chu Li paused, and smiled at Shi Lingyan: "Unlike Miss Shi, I didn't come here to look for relatives. ”

"But there is chaos here, don't you worry if you let Chu Xue go alone?" Chu Li seemed to be deliberately avoiding Shi Lingyan's question, but Shi Lingyan did not give up and continued to probe.

"Chu Xue is safe, Miss Shi doesn't have to worry about her. Chu Li still avoided Shi Lingyan's questioning, and seemed to have made up his mind not to reveal his identity.

While the two were talking, they had already walked out of the forest, and suddenly their vision widened, and the long-lost sunlight shone on their bodies, Shi Lingyan suddenly felt refreshed, "Presumably this is the real border." ”

"That's right, if you go forward, you should be able to see the military camp of Yaoguang Kingdom. Chu Li's voice sounded behind Shi Lingyan, and Shi Lingyan breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's really the emperor who lives up to his wishes, and finally found you." ”

Shi Lingyan turned her head and was about to thank Chu Li, thanking him for taking care of him along the way, but when she turned around, she found that there was no one behind her, "Brother Chu, where are you?" Shi Lingyan shouted into the forest behind her, but no one responded.

At this time, it was already afternoon, the dawn on the border was early, and it was dark early, although Shi Lingyan had a stomach full of doubts, but after all, she did not go to the forest to look for Chu Li, remembering Chu Li's last words, she hurriedly looked forward, hoping to find Mu Hua's military camp before dark.

"General, the army is all ready. The deputy will report, Mu Hua bowed his hand: "You each lead your own army and pull back fifty miles, leaving only one team to camp outside the border village to visit the actions of the Heavenly Pivot Kingdom." ”

After Mu Hua's order was completed, all the soldiers began to move, and Mu Hua led the retreat.

If Tianshuguo knew that Yaoguang's army was retreating, they must know that Mu Hua's army was outnumbered, so they would be even more arrogant, even though Muhua was very worried, but there was no other way, the letter to the emperor had been sent, and now all they could do was to wait for reinforcements, hoping to give Tianshuguo a severe blow in the event of a big war.

Mu Hua's love letter was a military emergency, and the guards who delivered the letter did not dare to delay, and they ran to death five horses, and finally presented the love letter to the emperor within one day, but the content was only a few words: urgent need for grain and grass, reinforcements, Mu Hua.

The emperor frowned and took the love letter in his hand, "Zhong Aiqing, the war has not really started, and the king of Guangping has already expressed his feelings to reinforce the army, I don't know what suggestions you Aiqing has?"

The ministers were unconsciously divided into two factions, arguing with each other. Mu Chun was silent on the side, and after exchanging glances with Shi Jie, Shi Zhu came out of the ranks, "The minister thinks that the king of Guangping has been fighting for many years, and he has never seen him write a love letter, presumably this time it must be a military emergency, so the minister thinks that he should add soldiers, horses, food and grass according to what is said in the book." ”

As soon as this remark came out, all the ministers objected, "Now that the war is still at the beginning, I want to send reinforcements, I don't know what my intentions are, and I ask the emperor to think twice." Sure enough, such a positive and negative statement can best make the emperor see the pros and cons in front of him, and the emperor, who was still hesitant just now, threw Chen Qing's love letter on the table, "Aiqing is reasonable, this King of Guangping is also too anxious." ”

When Shi Lingyan found the Muhua military camp, it was already empty, Shi Lingyan looked at the dense fresh footprints all over the ground, these people seemed to have just withdrawn not long ago, leaving only a bunch of useless things, indicating that there was once an army stationed here.

"Mu Hua, are you deliberately against me! The old lady just found you, and you all left. Shi Lingyan only felt that she wanted to cry without tears, and she wanted to find Mu Hua's whereabouts again.

At this moment, the sound of the horse's hooves attracted Shi Lingyan's attention, and she was a little surprised to follow the prestige and thought that it was Mu Hua's army coming back, but from a distance, people saw a group of people dressed in white, this dress was so strange that Shi Lingyan could not forget, thinking that he had met a group of Tianshu people in the Yaoguang Holy Land was dressed like this.

This place should not stay for a long time, Shi Lingyan wanted to find a nearby forest and hide, but there were too few hiding places nearby, so Shi Lingyan had to hide behind a big rock on the spot.

The cowards withdrew. Tianshuren's tone was very proud, "With their tens of thousands of military horses, they still want to compete with our million-strong army, it's really a fool's dream." ”

Looking at the traces of this place, several people laughed. Shi Lingyan also gradually learned what happened from the conversation of several people, no wonder Mu Hua would withdraw, her eyes darkened, she didn't have to think about it, now Mu Hua must be in a dilemma, those dog officials in the court not only want to harm people's lives, but also want to sabotage this war.

Shi Lingyan was pondering, but she didn't realize that a gust of wind was blowing, blowing the hem of her skirt out of the stone.

"Someone!" Tianshuren exclaimed, Shi Lingyan was startled, and then realized that he had been exposed.
