The cold wind swept in the mountain stream, and the whimpering sound was endless, like crying and complaining. Countless black-armored soldiers and horses are mighty, and the rivers are endless, just like the black dragon caught in the mountain stream, endlessly.

At the edge of the dense forest at the far peak, a graceful figure with a heavy veil and a mask suddenly appeared, quietly looking down on the retreating tens of thousands of Zhou army's main force, carefully searching for the target of her trip.

After a long time, her beautiful black pearl-like eyes flashed thoughtfully, and she couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The Zhou army retreated in an orderly manner, not in a hurry, and the Qi army was still surging in chaos and without order...... The gap between them can't be calculated!"

Those who are proficient in the art of war all know very well that retreating from the army is far more difficult than marching into the army, and the march can still be rushed and fought in a swarm, but as long as there is a slight chaos when retreating, it will immediately be a great rout and a great rout, and it cannot be stopped.

The Qi army is indeed defeated, and it will no longer be forbidden to carry out the orders of Gao Huan and Gao Yang, and to advance and retreat at will.

"The battle between the nations really can't be faked at all, only the Ming monarch and virtuous ministers are united, the internal politics is clear, the country is rich and the people are strong, and the outside is vertical and horizontal, invincible, and there is the foundation of hegemony......"

She is not a narrow-minded person, and after witnessing the diametrically opposite process of the Northern Qi Dynasty from strong to weak and the Northern Zhou Dynasty from weak to strong in the past ten years, she finally stopped being blinded by the interests of the sect and faintly understood.

"From this point of view, my decision to lead the sect leader of my sect to withdraw from the muddy pond of Northern Qi and start the layout of the next game of chess as soon as possible is indeed extremely wise...... I think that if the master is still here, he will be so decisive!

As for the new candidates to support?"

Muttering to herself, her gaze slowly scanned over the long black dragon-like procession, eventually stopping for a moment on one of the golden-armored generals......

In the torrent of the army in the mountain stream, Shi Zhixuan, who was riding his horse and moving slowly, turned his head like lightning, and his sharp gaze that seemed to be able to penetrate all tangible and intangible things met the faint sunset under the gloomy sky, and fell on the peak of the forest, but he did not find the slightest abnormality.

"It's weird...... My psychic sense is never wrong, so it seems that he is a master who can avoid my [Heaven and Earth] technique in time for a moment?"

The fiery essence like the sun in Shi Zhixuan's eyes gradually extinguished, and he turned back to the horse he had ridden like a day ago, urging his more than 10,000 elite soldiers to march in formation, as if nothing had happened, but he secretly raised his vigilance.

The moment he sensed that someone was peeping, he sent the Yang God induction to the extreme, and with the peak [Heaven and Earth] secret technique, he instantly sensed the peak a few miles away, even a gopher and a nest of chicks could not be spared.

And if that person wanted to avoid his meticulous detection, not only did he need to instantly sweep into the dense forest with a swift lightning technique, avoiding his line of sight, and his every move during this time could not alarm any snakes, pikas, rabbits, and birds, but also instantly converge the huge spirit fluctuations like dead things, which was definitely not something that ordinary grandmaster-level masters could do!

"He is good at light skills, concealment, and his skill is better than that of the senior level of the grandmaster...... Interesting!"

Shi Zhixuan smiled slightly, vaguely guessing the identity of that person, but he couldn't be sure.

As the old saying goes, there are more than 10,000 people, and there is no boundary.

Tens of thousands of troops stretched for dozens of miles on the road, retreating quickly is of course not trivial, although Shi Zhixuan's right second army is the elite of the Great Zhou, but for the retreat, which is the most test of the quality of the feudal army, no general dares to take it lightly, and he has always been lazy, he has to personally lead and arrange all the officers to patrol and press the formation from beginning to end, just in case.

At dusk, the army set up camp on the spot, and all kinds of military tents winded for nearly thirty miles, like a hideous python lurking in the night, and it was fearful.

After telling Shi Wansui to arrange the light and dark sentry on duty at night, Shi Zhixuan, who had been tense for a day, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and called the Pei clansmen who acted as pro-soldiers, "Send the food to my big tent......

After a pause, he added a rare sentence, "The big guy scavenges for the delicacies and game during the day, regardless of the meat and vegetarian dishes, have a plate, let the best chef take charge of the spoon, if the fried is not delicious, Lao Tzu will send him to the auxiliary camp as a groom!"

After saying that, Shi Zhixuan entered the account to meditate and breathe as always, leaving only the soldiers outside the tent with puzzled faces: Didn't the general never care about the quality of the food, why was he so interested this time?

............

The winter night is deep, the wind is cold, and the blowing face is better than a knife.

In the barracks, except for the light and dark sentries and patrols, the rest of the soldiers hid in the camp tents and gradually fell asleep in shivering.

"Hoo ......"

In front of the tent, the wind swept and the sand and dust were light. A vague shadow rode the wind, and a flicker passed between the six guards, and swooped silently into the tent.

Only six pairs of frightened and eager eyes were left spinning, but they couldn't move at all.

On the simple marching couch in the corner of the tent, Shi Zhixuan, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes suddenly, as if two small suns were lit up, and most of the darkness in the tent was dispelled in an instant, but it could not illuminate the faint shadow that was approaching, just like the remaining darkness in the tent was gathered around her.

In the hazy and bewildering atmosphere, a smooth and delicate slender jade finger couldn't stop expanding in front of Shi Zhixuan's eyes, and finally almost obscured the entire horizon, but it was silently imprinted on his eyebrows!

Shi Zhixuan raised his eyebrows, and the five fingers of his left hand opened, as if slowly brushing towards the wrist behind the slender jade fingers.

In the eyes of the shadow of the raid, his five fingers couldn't help but tremble slightly as they flicked in, sealing all the attacks and subsequent changes of her divine fingers.

What's more, his five fingertips carry a sharp innate sword qi but he doesn't spit it out, just like five divine blades that can be extended by several zhang at any time, faintly shrouding the space around her body.

If it was three months ago, she would not have been able to avoid the other party's miraculous sword move, but now she is no longer what it used to be, and the [Heavenly Demon Great ** Method] that has reached the peak of the seventeenth layer has reached the limit, making her flicker in an impossible moment, and ghostly get out of the sword momentum, and reach the left rear side of Shi Zhixuan, which is the dead corner of his sword move.

A pair of dream-like, like rippling with the most fragrant and mellow wine-like eyes flushed with purple and clear light, the snow greasy jade arm poked out of the water sleeve, quietly brushed towards the back of Shi Zhixuan's neck, its casual place, like the love of the lover, extremely gentle.

Only Shi Zhixuan, who is the target, can feel the infinite killing power contained in it......

The tent was dark and hazy, on the narrow marching couch, two light smoke flickered and fluttered, staggered and entangled, obviously killing moves one after another, the battle was extremely fierce, but there was no sound of the wind whistling, and the scene was very weird.

It seems that the two have a tacit understanding and don't want to alarm others.

The ghostly shadow became more and more frightened, she had thought that the other party could only defend with an immovable sword or sword gang and then find a gap to counterattack under the erratic and ever-changing offensive of her perfect Heavenly Demon Skill, but she did not expect that the other party's martial arts and body were more strange than her.

In dozens of offensive and defensive moves, the opponent actually attacked more and defended less!

Finally, she couldn't avoid the other party's dreamlike sword momentum, and was pointed at the palm of her slender hand by a sword blow, and the incomparably sharp sword qi condensed like hair invaded the meridians, making her have to float back two feet to another tent corner, and use all her strength to mobilize the Heavenly Demon Qi to dissolve.

Shi Zhixuan came down to the marching couch for a long time, waved his sword fingers lightly, the blazing energy passed through, and the candlelight bloomed in the corner of the tent, reflecting the two figures of a heroic warrior and a delicate figure on the tent, which was misleading.

"It's rare for Yuyan to come, which really makes us shine. Please take a seat!"

Zhu Yuyan followed his gesture and looked, only to find that there were more than ten silver dishes on the several cases beside him, containing carefully cooked meat and vegetarian dishes, as well as a pair of ivory chopsticks and a pair of jade jade cups.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the nine red candles standing in the gap between the dishes, the flame flickering, adding to the hazy atmosphere.

The whole pomp and circumstance of waiting for a beautiful woman's tryst!

A hint of surprise flashed in her deep beautiful eyes, and she couldn't help but feel discouraged in her heart that everything was in the other party's calculations, and she looked at him with complicated eyes, and said with a complaint: "Yuyan, I thought you would be a demon girl in one bite?"

As soon as she remembered that time outside Kim Yong City, he fought for a long time with the four top masters of their Yin Sect as the "Great Zhou Sword God Pei Ju", and finally restrained their Heavenly Demon ribbons, forcing them to blow up their robes and flee in embarrassment.

Shi Zhixuan smiled slightly, without the slightest embarrassment of being dismantled, and casually took out a small jar from the file box at the corner of the couch, "Alcohol is forbidden in the army, this is still the authentic Xinghua Village century-old wine that I dug up under the back garden of the Haichang Wang Wei Xianggui Mansion, and I was not willing to drink it during ......the celebration banquet."

As he spoke, he opened the mud seal, and quickly heated the cold wine in the jar with pure yang true qi, and the rich fragrance of Fenjiu filled the tent, tempting people to be greedy.

Zhu Yuyan glanced at him deeply, and sighed with infinite regret: "Master is nowhere to be found, maybe he is tortured in a dungeon, Yuyan, as a disciple, is anxious, even if it has been brewed for a hundred years, how can he swallow it?"

Shi Zhixuan paced closer, and said meaningfully: "Sect Master Lou is enjoying peace and tranquility in a unique feng shui treasure, and I think that I am benefiting a lot from this time, Yuyan doesn't have to worry about it...... Sit!" he said, raising his hand and tapping her fragrant shoulder.

Zhu Yuyan did not shy away from it, and sat down, like a supple little wife.

"Ding-ding-dong......"

The amber liquor poured into the jade cup, emitting a pleasant crisp sound like a ring in the sky, and a hazy mist rose up.

Shi Zhixuan said politely: "There is no food in the marching field, some mountain delicacies, and I hope Yuyan will not dislike it." ”

This statement is not untargeted, but heartfelt - although the people in the Demon Gate are often contemptuously called "ground rats" by upright chivalrous warriors, but in fact, whether it is the Yin Sect or the Flower Sect, they pay great attention to the quality of life on weekdays, and the enjoyment of clothing, food, housing and transportation is comparable to that of princes and nobles.

On the contrary, many upright knights often have to bend their waists for five buckets of rice, and be a little brother, thug, bodyguard or coachman, fighting for life and death, selling blood and sweat, how can they be forced to do it?

The comparison between the two is somewhat ironic.

Zhu Yuyan smiled skillfully, raised her glass and said: "Brother Shi has managed such a good situation in the Northern Zhou Dynasty quietly, and has kept all the forces of good and evil in the dark, it seems that the long-awaited ambition of the Holy Gate is about to be fulfilled in the hands of Brother Shi......

Yuyan admires it so much, first salute the world brother!"

Shi Zhixuan smiled faintly, happily raised his glass to drink with her, the warm wine entered his throat, and he instinctively soaked into the good habit of closing his eyes and savoring it carefully when he drank with Feng Qingyang, who loved Fenjiu and Zhu Yeqing in his previous life.
