Zuo Fan saw everyone fleeing, his brows were tightly locked, Simu Sang was about to chase again, Zuo Fan stopped and said: "They are all masters of the Central Plains, even if we catch up, we are not absolutely sure"

Bai Di Teng said: "The mission of interception and killing failed, and the lord will blame again" Zuo Fan said: "As long as you don't miss the plan, you can"

Zuo Fan and the others went back to the mansion, and when everyone dispersed, Zuo Fan came to a side room, and at this time there was a person lying in the room, with an extremely terrible scar on his face, and this person was nameless.

Zuo Fan glanced at him and said: "The mission failed, let them escape" Nameless opened his eyes and sat up and said: "There are a few people in total, this has allowed them to escape"

Zuo Fan snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, isn't this what you want to see?" He paused and continued: "When I saw you seriously injured and rescued you, I learned that you liked to study the martial arts of various factions, and worked hard to expand the copies of the peerless schools of each faction for you to practice.

He snorted coldly and walked out, leaving him to sit in front of the bed in a daze, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Ling Xiao fled out of the city with Tang Xin on his back, and didn't go far before he heard the shouts in Xuzhou City to kill the sky, and the flames were all over the sky, Zhu Di exclaimed: "What happened?"

Yin Rongyang said: "I said that there are hundreds of thousands of troops inside and outside Tongshan, and there are only a thousand people, and it turned out to be a night attack on Xuzhou City."

Zhu Di was shocked when he heard this, and exclaimed: "How should this be, let's rush over to meet the generals in the city, right?"

Ling Xiao said: "I hope they are still in the city" Everyone hurried to Xuzhou, but when they arrived at the city gate, they saw the city gate wide open, and countless figures inside and outside the city were packing up something, as if they were cleaning the battlefield.

Seeing this, Zhu Di sighed with a sad look on his face: "It's really heaven that will kill me, it was easy to capture Xuzhou City, but half a moon actually fell again" Zhu Di was extremely heartbroken and almost fainted.

After discussion, everyone decided to find a remote place to take refuge for a while, and then rush to Huihe after inquiring about where the Yan army had retreated.

It was easy to find an uninhabited farmhouse fifteen miles away from Xuzhou City, and in addition to some valuable things, the application of the house was fully equipped.

Tang Xin was stabbed in the shoulder, bleeding too much and weak, and had passed out on Ling Xiao's back on the way, and when she found a place to live, Ling Xiao hurriedly put her down, Zhao Lingwei took out the healing medicine that Wu Ben took out, bandaged her with a rag, and gradually regained consciousness when it was dawn.

Ling Xiao couldn't help it, so he kept waiting in front of his bed, and when he saw Tang Xin wake up, he hurriedly asked, "Is the girl okay?"

Tang Xin glanced at him and said, "What can happen?" Ling Xiao struggled for a moment and said, "Girl... You, why did you block that sword for me?"

Tang Xin's face suddenly turned red, since she saw Ling Xiao, she has always had an inexplicable strange feeling about him, otherwise she would not have been born and died with him, but she is a high-minded and arrogant person, and she doesn't know how to express the love between men and women, so there are some things he can't say anyway.

Tang Xin glanced at Ling Xiao and said, "This... This girl is willing, and you want to take care of it?" she didn't know how to explain, so she had to say these words that made people laugh and cry.

Ling Xiao's heart jumped wildly, he suddenly grabbed Tang Xin's hand and said a little nervously: "Girl, in fact, I..."

Zhao Lingwei was stunned for a moment, approached the house, came to Tang Xin with a bowl of noodles and handed it to her, and said, "Sister, you woke up, it just happened that Master Chifeng bought some food from other families, and my sister is weak, so I will bring you a bowl."

Tang Xin took it in his hand and said, "Thank you, sister" Zhao Lingwei suddenly saw Tang Xin crimson like a fire cloud and asked: "Sister, where else is your body unwell, why is your face as red as an apple" As she spoke, she looked worried and leaned towards Tang Xin's forehead, Tang Xin hurriedly dodged and said: "Sister... My sister is fine, it will be fine in a while."

Ling Xiao calmed down his heartbeat and walked to the front room, seeing that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and all the heads were there, Ling Xiao came to Zhu Di and saluted: "I don't know what the prince commands?"

Zhu Di hurriedly said: "No need to be polite, I just want to discuss what to do next?"

Ling Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "I think it's better to send someone to find out where the prince's military horses have withdrawn, and we will rush to meet him."

Zhu Di nodded and said: "That's the only way" Ling Xiao asked the heads of each faction to be cautious and go separately to investigate, and when they came back at noon, they went separately.

After a long time, the heads came back to report that they had found nothing, and Zhu Di suddenly looked depressed when he heard this.

In this way, he has not heard news of Yan Jun for many days, Zhu Di has been depressed day and night, and he has lost weight in more than ten days.

In the evening of this day, when all the heads gathered, Zhu Di sighed and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't think it is a way to go down like this, let's leave here and look all the way to Donglu, maybe we can listen to some news."

Ling Xiao also said with a sad expression: "When he was separated from the heads of Wuyue that day, he said that he would make peace in Xuzhou, Xuzhou had already been conquered, and I don't know what their current situation is, as the prince said, it is not a way to stay here, it is better to do what the prince said" Everyone discussed and decided, packed their bags and left the farmhouse early in the morning and rushed to Donglu.

Walking to the east for less than thirty miles, I suddenly heard a voice of surprise: "It's the helper, the helper is here" Everyone was stunned for a moment, only to see a group of people coming out of a jungle not far away, it was the beggar gang disciples, and the first person was the master of the Thousand Cranes, Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi saluted Ling and Zhang with a happy face: "Alliance leader, gang leader, you let me wait to find it" Everyone was also surprised, Zhang Yu hurriedly asked: "How can Hall Master Wu be here?"

Wu Zhidao: "This matter is a long story, Elder Qin is not far ahead, let's talk as we walk."

From Wu Zhi's mouth, it turned out that the head of Wuyue and other gangs had the order of Ling Xiao to lead most of the people to Xuzhou, because there were too many people and horses and did not go to Weishan Lake, passing through Huankou, Fengxian, Jing'an... and so on, when he arrived at Zhengjiaji, he encountered the army of King Yan, and learned from the soldiers that he was being chased and killed by the southern army, so Zhao Lingyun led the crowd to fight against the southern army with the Yan army, and the southern army saw that the situation was reversed, so he had to withdraw to Xuzhou.

The Yan army wanted to evacuate, but the general Zhu Neng was worried about Zhu Di's danger, and at the suggestion of the strategist Yao Guangxiao, he evacuated the Su border and rushed to the Huaibei territory, but after ten days, he captured Suzhou City.

At the same time, the group learned that Ling Xiao and others were trapped in the enemy camp in order to save King Yan, and now they don't know whether they are alive or dead, so they have to arrange people to search everywhere in a hurry, and they have not heard any news from the heads of the houses for many days.

Qin Jiugong knew that he was ashamed of Zhang Yu, and he did not hesitate to take risks to lead the beggar gang to the vicinity of Xuzhou to look for it, but in the end, Huang Tian lived up to his wishes, and the beggar gang disciples found Zhang Yu and his party.

Zhang Yu met with Qin and Wei, and Qin Jiugong said with tears in his eyes: "It's good if the helper has nothing to do" After resting for a long time, everyone marched to Suzhou.

The group finally arrived in Suzhou City three days later, the generals of the Yan army had already received the information, the news that the king of Yan was rescued, and they were excited to meet the king of Yan Zhu Di and under the city gate, and they were even more grateful to Ling Xiao and others when they welcomed everyone into the mansion.

In the city of Xuzhou, Xu Huizu has been haunted by Zhu Di's rescue, but it is not easy to blame Nian Zuofan and others for their special status, and they suddenly heard that there were spies in Suzhou to report that they had been lost, and in a hurry, Xu Huizu ordered his subordinates to guard Xuzhou, and he went to Suzhou to confront the Yan army.

After Zhu Neng learned the news, at the suggestion of Yao Guangxiao, he led the army to Lingbi not far from here to set up an ambush, but was unexpectedly discovered by the southern army, so the two armies had to stalemate in Lingbi, and neither army dared to attack.

In Suzhou City this day and night, a person in the deep courtyard of the inner house was pacing back and forth in the room, sometimes showing firmness, sometimes hesitation, sometimes sighing, this person is Zhu Di, who has been worried about the confrontation between the two armies and Lingbi in recent days, and his heart is very hesitant, and he suddenly heard a knock on the door, and then walked into a monk who was in the middle of the ancient age, this person was Yao Guangxiao.

Zhu Di hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "Mr. came at the right time" Yao Guangxiao helped him and said: "The minister is here to relieve the worries of the prince"

Zhu Di sighed: "Alas... Our army has made many southern expeditions, and the soldiers have been killed and wounded countless times, and this time the enemy is outnumbered, and the soldiers have wives and children, and if they are all folded on the battlefield, the king can't bear it, I think it's better to withdraw the troops, right?"

Yao Guangxiao said: "The prince has conquered many times but has never said such a depressing word, why today...?"

Zhu Di said helplessly: "Now I have no choice but to do it" Yao Guangxiao smiled and said nothing, Zhu Di saw that Yao Guangxiao's expression seemed to be hidden, so he asked: "I don't know what Mr. has to do?"

Yao Guangxiao said: "They are outnumbered, the disparity in strength and Xu Huizu's courage and good fighting are by no means comparable to Li Jinglong, Sheng Yong and others, our army's losses and losses are caused by attacking the city and destroying the wall, it is better not to follow common sense and do the opposite."

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment and said, "If you don't capture the city, how can you win?"

Yao Guangxiao said: "Lord, we will take a detour and drive straight into Kyoto, and the great cause will be accomplished."

Zhu Di was overjoyed when he heard this: "If you capture Kyoto, Mr. will make a great contribution."

Three days later, the southern army attacked in a big way, the two armies fought with Qimei Mountain, the southern army broke through the Yan army's defense line in one fell swoop, and Zhu Neng led the remnants of the army to return to Suzhou.

Zhu Di was shocked when he heard this, and Yao Guangxiao suggested that the Yan army should not retreat but advance, abandon Suzhou and go down to Huainan.

After the southern army learned about it, they pursued all the way, and the Yan army had nowhere to retreat, so they were stationed near the Xianghe River, and Zhu Di made up his mind that he could not flee no matter what, and he would definitely fight to the death with the southern army.
