Bypassing the army and returning to the garrison, which had long been burned to the ground, all that was left was scattered charred corpses, and there was no shadow of half a living person. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Bingchen was angry and said angrily: "This is all a good thing done by your Western Xia lowly species. He grabbed Li Yanting and pulled him off the horse and fell to the ground. Li Yanting is a fierce and brave person, although he can't speak, his eyes seem to burst out, and he can't wait to jump up and eat ice dust in one bite. Bingchen sneered: "Playing fierce in front of me, you are out of sight." He raised his fist and slammed it into his face.

Qingyu shook her head and said, "Most of the people who have been separated will come here to contact others, and we will wait here, but we must make sure that no one is watched." The two of them went around to investigate, and sure enough, they found more than ten Western Xia soldiers who were snooping nearby, and under questioning, they were sure that there was no one else, so they lit the acupoints one after another and piled them up under a big tree.

At nightfall, sure enough, there were scattered soldiers who came to contact, and everyone gathered together and learned that Li Yanting was the son of Li Yanshou, the commander of Western Xia. Qingyu and Bingchen talked for a long time to persuade everyone to stop, but the more than ten Western Xia soldiers were in a catastrophe, and they were chopped under the knife one by one without a sound.

Until dawn, no one came, and there were only so many stragglers that Qingyu could arrive tonight, and if she wanted anyone to come, she would have to wait until tomorrow night. But this is not a place to stay for long, you must leave as soon as possible, and then make an appointment to contact the others. He was about to give an order, but he heard a voice say happily: "Young master, are you okay?" That's great, we have worked so hard to find you. ”

When Qingyu saw that it was Zheng Tianhua, she was excited, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Are everyone okay?"

Zheng Tianhua nodded and said, "It's all good." ”

Since Zheng Tianhua and Chi Feng led the heroes to break out of the encirclement, they bypassed the enemy army and took the initiative to turn back, and everyone galloped quickly all the way with their horses. When they encountered the Song army, they were already defeated and fled in all directions, and the defeat was determined and irretrievable. The only way to do this now is to preserve our strength in order to fight again in the future. Several charges gathered some of the besieged and scattered soldiers, and then retreated, gathering the stragglers again and again, and by the time they got rid of the pursuit of the Western Xia soldiers, there were several thousand. When there was nowhere to go, someone came to contact him. This person was a close engineer under Deputy Marshal Dong Haotian, who immediately made the decision to retreat at full speed when the army was initially defeated, and led most of the soldiers to get rid of the enemy's pursuit, and camped at Qiupo, twenty miles away, to take strict precautions. Zheng Tianhua and Chifeng led the crowd to meet the teacher, and because they were worried about the safety of Qingyu, they sent people out to look around. Zheng Tianhua and Qingyu had the same idea, they both came to the station to look for it, during which they were intercepted by the sudden appearance of Leng Xiao halfway, and the two fought until they learned that he was looking for Qingyu, and when they came, it was already dawn.

When the people learned that the main force of the army was still there, they were very relieved and cheered, and except for a few who were left here to continue to wait for the stragglers, all the others went to join the army. Knowing that Leng Xiao had appeared, it was likely that they would meet immediately, and Qingyu and Bingchen both felt depressed in their hearts, and they didn't know why they were good for each other.

Zheng Tianhua led the way, and soon came to the new camp. Deputy Marshal Dong Tianhao knew that Yu was safe and sound, and personally went out to greet him, he admired Qingyu's IQ and martial arts, and knew that to defend this camp and send troops to fight in the future, Qingyu needed advice and strong help. Both of them sighed, unhappy with people, and not good at knowing people, so that Li Qi had a chance, but the battle that was supposed to be won was lost so miserably.

After Li Yanting was escorted down, Dong Haotian wanted to ask Qingyu to enter the account to discuss the next step of the defense plan, but seeing that Qingyu's face was extremely bad, he only learned that Yu's physical strength was too much and had not yet recovered, so he ordered everyone to return to the team to rest on their own, so that Qingyu would take care of her body and discuss major matters when her physical strength recovered.

Early the next morning, Li Yanshou sent someone to discuss the release of Li Yanting, and Dong Haotian specially invited Qingyu to come and discuss with the generals. Qingyu thinks that it is impossible to exchange Li Yanting for Wen Zaiye, so saving people should be planned separately. But Li Yanting is a useful card in his hand after all, as long as he is in hand, the Western Xia army will not dare to come to invade and harass easily. This gave the Song army time to recuperate and cultivate morale, so that it could gain time for another war in the future, and the Song army could have enough time to plan and make the most perfect preparations, and it would be invulnerable whether it was offensive or defensive in the future. Therefore, the matter of releasing people and saving people should not be rushed, and the enemy should feel that Wen Zaiye is irrelevant, and the Song army is not in a hurry to rescue him, and even does not care about his safety.

Everyone agreed with Qingyu's opinion, and Dong Haotian ordered that the envoy of Western Xia should not talk about releasing and saving people. The third angel came again, but he was still missing, and the messenger asked to see Li Yanting, and Qingyu thought it was okay, but he couldn't let them talk. The whole army put on a relaxed attitude of nonchalance, but behind this disguise, they were seizing the time to contact the scattered soldiers, treat the wounded soldiers, repair their armor, sharpen their swords, and prepare for another battle.

For six days, Li Yanshou sent envoys almost every day, and the conditions for returning Li Yanting were increased from 3,000 cattle and sheep, 50,000 taels of silver, and 5,000 taels of gold to 10,000 cattle and sheep, 300,000 taels of silver, 20,000 taels of gold, and the troops retreated for 30 miles. Qingyu ignored it all, and on the seventh day, when the messenger came again, Dong Haotian couldn't stand it anymore, and ordered someone to beat the messenger with a stick, and said that if he came again within ten days, he would cut off his head, and the messenger crawled to the ground.

That night, Qingyu was studying the ancient art of war under the lamp after practicing, exploring the most effective strategy for breaking the enemy, but she heard a very light footstep sound outside the account, knowing that there was a night walker visiting, she did not alarm others, and said: "Friend, since you are here, why not enter the account." The long night is lonely and dashing, why not talk all night long, and go lonely together?" With a sigh, a person broke the account and entered, the sword light flashed and stabbed over, Qingyu exclaimed in a low voice: "Leng Xiao, how could it be you?" In fact, from Fang Cai's footsteps, he already knew who was coming.

Leng Xiao said coldly: "Who else but me, lonely Xiaoxiao, you are quite sad, let me end all your pain with a sword." "Stabbed again.

Qingyu narrowly dodged away, gasping and gasping: "You...... Don't come again, or ...... Otherwise I'm going to call someone. ”

Leng Xiao looked at the cold sweat rolling down his forehead, and said strangely: "What's wrong with you, your health is so bad?"

Qingyu sat down and said, "I'...... I ......"

Leng Xiao hurriedly said: "What's the matter, why are you so anxious?"

Qingyu quietly raised her eyes and looked at her, seeing that she was really anxious, she secretly laughed in her heart, and felt annoyed after laughing, but the play still had to be played, and she panicked: "I can't say, you will kill me if you say it." ”

Leng Xiao said: "If you don't say it, won't I kill you?" The long sword in his hand shook twice.

Qingyu hurriedly said: "Okay, let me say, I was injured, and it was a very serious internal injury." ”

Leng Xiao was startled at first, then overjoyed, and sneered: "If I can't kill you today, it won't be tolerated." "A sword stabs.

Qingyu slid down and sat on the ground, dodging a sword and retreating, with a panicked look on her face, and said, "Don't ...... Don't mess around, I'...... I'm going to shout. ”

Leng Xiao said: "It's useless to shout, I would have killed you when they came." ”

Qingyu said: "Then I won't shout at you, don't kill me." ”

Leng Xiao said: "No, the previous ...... I can't forget the humiliation. "Drive the sword and stab.

Qingyu rolled to the side in embarrassment, let go of the sword, reached out and grabbed Leng Xiao's wrist and pulled it over, hugging her at once.

Leng Xiao was ashamed and anxious, and shouted in a low voice: "Let go." ”

Qingyu said: "If you don't kill me, I'll let me go, if you kill me, I won't let me die." With his hands around, he hugged him tighter and tighter, and no matter how hard Ren Lengxiao struggled, he didn't let go.

Leng Xiao's face turned red, but he suddenly threw his sword on the ground, his body weakened, he no longer resisted, and his head leaned on Qingyu's shoulder. This time Qing Yuke panicked, and said in her heart: "It turns out that Bingchen is right, Leng Xiao really likes me, and she is a killer, straightforward nature, she will not be ashamed of the love between men and women like other women, let alone want to get close and leave, what she wants to do is not take into account the thoughts and eyes of others, and now she is miserable." He shook her and said, "Don't kill me, I'll let it go, and I won't embarrass you." ”

Leng Xiao said in a low voice: "You love to let go, and if you have the ability, you will hold others for a lifetime." ”

Qingyu's face suddenly became hot and hurriedly let go. Leng Xiao stood up, the frost on his face had already dissolved, and he bowed his head and said, "I'll spare your life tonight, and I'll kill you tomorrow night." He turned around and was about to walk away, but he heard a rustling sound outside, and said urgently: "Someone." Stretch out your hand and put out the lights in your tent.

Qingyu understood that there were a total of twelve night walkers, but the martial arts of these people were much inferior to Leng Xiao, and they were not the martial arts of Middle-earth, so she nodded secretly and said, "It's finally here." Huh snatched out of the tent and chased after the group of night walkers. Leng Xiao saw that he was so good at light work, and he didn't look like he was injured at all, so he suddenly understood, became angry, frowned, hurriedly chased after him, and stabbed him in the vest with an arrow.

Qingyu was cold and unaware of someone's sneak attack from behind, turned around sharply in shock, and stretched out his hand to snatch the long sword. Leng Xiao said angrily: "You are really lying to me. ”

Qing Yu was afraid that her voice would alarm the group of night walkers, so she flashed behind her, reached out to cover her lips, and whispered in her ear: "Don't alarm them." Leng Xiao struggled a few times and wanted to speak, but Qingyu said again: "I deliberately wanted to lie to you, but you have to think about why I did this." ”

Leng Xiao felt the gentle breath in his ears caressing the ear chakra, warm and itchy, but very comfortable, as if the whole person was about to melt. The arm around her waist was like a source of heat, flowing all over her body, and her whole body was boiling.

Qingyu felt that Leng Xiao's body was getting hotter and hotter, and her body seemed to be heating up, and suddenly remembered that when she was with Xiao Yixuan, she felt like this, and couldn't help but let go in a hurry, and went to chase the night pedestrian again. Leng Xiao hurriedly followed, and said in a low voice, "I'll help you catch them." At that moment, she had made the most wrong decision in her life, and she would never be separated from Qingyu for the rest of her life. Such a decision, if an ordinary woman will not make it easily, even if such a decision is made, it will not be easily put into action, but she is different, she is a killer, as long as she believes in something, she will do it immediately, and she has no scruples, so she is also destined to be harmed, and the root of this hurt comes from the person she loves most, but she will never know.

The Twelve Nights Walkers flickered in the barracks, hiding from the soldiers patrolling at night, spying on every tent. Qingyu knew what they were looking for, and quietly followed, stretched out her hand to quietly restrain a night walker, took a step closer, reached out and clicked again, and took four people in a row, all of them were unaware. When he took the fifth person, the person inadvertently turned his head to meet the eyes of Qingyu, and stepped back with a loud scream. The rest of the night walkers fled in all directions, and suddenly the barracks was lit with fire, and soldiers with torches poured in from all directions, surrounding the remaining eight.

Chi Feng said: "I knew that you were going to save people, we have been waiting for a long time, but I didn't know that you were so useless, Li Yanting appeared before he was found." ”

Dong Haotian ordered: "Take them down." More than a dozen martial arts visitors were the first to grab, and within a few rounds, all eight people were captured, and twelve people were taken into the military tent for interrogation overnight.

Leng Xiao said to Qingyu: "I'm leaving." Turning around and about to leave, Bingchen glanced at him urgently, and Qingyu hurriedly said, "Are you still going to kill me?"

Leng Xiao said: "No...... Of course...... Of course to kill. ”

Qingyu said: "Then it's better for you not to go." ”

Leng Xiao turned around and glared at him and asked coldly, "You want to hold me?"

Qingyu hurriedly said: "No, no, no...... It's hard for you to find an opportunity to kill me all day long, so it's better to stay in the 'women's camp' for the time being, then you can see me every day, and there will be more opportunities to kill me." ”

Leng Xiao lowered his head and whispered, "Okay."

Mu Mingzhu said: "That's great, we have another heroine in the 'Women's Battalion'", stepped forward and took Leng Xiao's hand, looked at Qingyu and smiled mysteriously.

Chi Feng and Zheng Tianhua also snickered secretly, and said in their hearts: "The young master's means are really high, such a cold-blooded killer was easily subdued by him invisibly, my generation is really willing to bow down, and I am ashamed." ”

After a whole night of interrogation, he only got that "the Twelve Nights Pedestrian is a dead soldier of Western Xia, who was ordered by Li Yanshou to come to rescue Li Yanting." "This kind of information is of little value, and when you ask about other military secrets, you can't open your mouth.

Dong Haotian was quite depressed and was about to order the execution, but Qingyu arched his hand and said, "Marshal, can you let me ask about something?"

Dong Haotian said: "Of course, the young man can ask them if he has something." ”

Qingyu turned her head to face the twelve people and looked carefully, and saw that eleven of the twelve people showed a look of death, only one of them had a flickering eye, and cold sweat fell on his head. So he stepped forward, lifted him out and threw him to the ground, and asked sharply in Xixia language, "Who are you?" He touched the man a few times, took out a short dagger, and shouted, "You want to assassinate the commander?"

The man's face was as white as earth, trembling with fright, and he hurriedly said, "This ...... Dagger...... Dagger...... Not mine, I don't have ...... Without a dagger. Everyone present was surprised, you must know that the twelve people have already carefully touched the whole body after being captured, how could this person hide a dagger and not find it.

Qingyu shouted loudly: "I dare to quibble, drag it out and cut it." Giving Chi Feng and Zheng Tianhua a look, the two stepped forward and pulled the man out of the tent, followed by a miserable scream. Dong Haotian was quite unhappy, and secretly blamed Qingyu for giving orders without his permission and not taking him in his eyes, but at this time, when it was time to employ people, it was not good to be angry for such a trivial matter.

The remaining eleven people were not panicked at all, and were not moved by the death of their accomplices at all. Qing Yu knew that they were all iron-beaten men with bronze teeth, and she couldn't ask anything anymore, so she said to Dong Haotian: "Marshal, there is nothing to ask anymore, how to deal with them, you can give the order." ”

Dong Haotian said: "We can't show weakness to the enemy and think that we are easy to bully. Kill them and send their heads back as a warning that they will not dare to act rashly again. Everyone nodded in agreement. Dong Haotian gave an order, and the eleven people were immediately dragged out, and the eleven heads were quickly returned.

Dong Haotian suddenly wondered: "Why is there one less head, what about the head of the person?"

Qingyu said: "This person is not dead, what everyone saw just now is just an illusion." With a clap of their hands, Chi Feng and Zheng Tianhua escorted the man up, and everyone was surprised, and then understood.

Dong Haotian said: "It turns out that the young man who loves jade intends to keep this person, what else can he ask from his mouth?"

Qingyu said: "I'm not sure, but I believe that it is easier to ask him than to ask other dead soldiers." ”

Dong Haotian suddenly clapped his hands and said, "I know, you deliberately put the dagger on him just now, the purpose is to distinguish him from other people." ”

Qingyu nodded and said, "If the general wants to know anything, just ask, if he refuses to say that it will not be too late to execute again." ”

Dong Haotian secretly admired Qingyu's resourcefulness, and blamed himself for not being so narrow-minded and looking down on Qingyu. nodded to Qingyu, slapped the plan violently, and said sharply: "Who are you, report your name." ”

The man shuddered and replied, "Down there...... Is it a marshal...... No, it's the dead soldier trained by Li Yanshou, it's called ...... It's called Zong Yan. ”

Dong Haotian shouted, "Do you want to die or live?" The man lowered his head but did not answer. Dong Haotian said: "You raise your head to see what this is?" Zong Yan raised his head and saw the head of a companion, and sat back with a thud. Dong Haotian said: "I'm asking you a question now, do you answer or not?"

Zong Yan said: "The small one...... Small, there are questions to answer, know everything, never ...... Never hide it. ”

Dong Haotian nodded and said, "Very good." He ordered someone to untie his rope and asked, "How many dead soldiers has Li Yanshou trained?"

Zong Yan said: "I don't know the total number, after we were selected, we were in a group of twelve, and during the training, five groups were a battalion, and there were only fifty-nine people I saw. ”

Dong Haotian said: "Who trained you?"

Zong Yan replied: "The head of the head of the sect is a first-class instructor Beitian, and the one who trained our battalion is a head named Zhengke. ”

Dong Haotian asked again, "What are your main tasks?"

Zong Yan said: "Special tasks such as assassination, protecting the lord, and rescuing people are different depending on the need. ”

All the questions to be asked one by one, Zong Yan really knew everything, but he couldn't be sure whether it was true or false. When asked about the military side again, Zong Yan didn't know anything about it, saying that they were not allowed to intervene in the military side at all, Dong Haotian thought about it, and knew that he couldn't ask anything more, so he had to order him to be pulled out.

Qingyu stepped forward and said, "Do you know Li Qi?" Zong Yan's face changed, and then he shook his head, and Qingyu shouted: "Know or don't know? In my Song camp, you'd better not hide anything." ”

Zong Yan hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke: "I know, he is a general under the marshal, resourceful, and very popular with the marshal, it is rumored that he is the illegitimate son of the marshal, but I can't be sure." According to the legend in the camp, the reason why the marshal was able to capture 'Kangcheng' and forced the Song to retreat...... is not a noble army, but also because he is around for advice. He also formulated a comprehensive plan for the capture of the Great Song Dynasty, and he also proposed the organization of training for us dead soldiers, and he also had the final say in supervising and arranging tasks for us. ”

Qingyu nodded and said, "I believe what you said, you can ask the marshal to spare your life." Let me ask you again, did he also give you an order to save people this time?"

Zong Yan nodded and said, "Yes." He bowed his head and thought for a long time, then suddenly kowtowed and said, "Don't send me back again, okay?" I beg you, I want to be a Han man, I don't want to fight anymore, and I don't want to accept that inhumane training anymore, that kind of life is really not a human life. When he said this, he burst into tears.

Dong Haotian said: "I can agree to your request, but you must be imprisoned first until this battle is over." ”

Zong Yan thanked him repeatedly, and then said a sentence that surprised everyone. He told everyone that Li Qi did not want them to save Li Yanting, but asked them to kill Li Yanting.

Qingyu nodded, and after the guards took Li Yanting away, she said, "Marshal, do you think what he said is true or false?"

Dong Haotian said: "It doesn't make much sense to say that what I said earlier is true or false, and the last sentence is worth savoring." Shall we let him meet with Li Yanting and listen to him?"

Qingyu said: "He has told us enough, there is nothing more to ask." Now we can at least be sure that Li Qi's position in the Western Xia army cannot be ignored, and his role may not be as important as the dead man said, but it is by no means ordinary. ”

Dong Haotian seemed to understand something, nodded and said, "This Li Qi is really important, we have to try to make good use of him." ”

Qingyu proposed to repair a letter to Li Qi, telling him that Li Yanting was safe and sound, and hinted in the letter that if he wanted Li Yanting to die, we could help him do it, but there would be a quid pro quo. Dong Haotian agreed, and immediately wrote a letter according to his wishes, and sent someone to send it to Cannes together with eleven heads for Li Qi to receive in person.

In the afternoon, the messenger returned and handed a reply letter from Rich. The letter said that the conditions were negotiable, but except for the release of Wen Zaiye, everyone was quite disappointed, but Qingyu had another plan in her heart.
