Qiu Peng opened the letter: "The word Feng Zixuan Gongzi is a descendant of the god of the night, and I will never accept the favor of others lightly." Now that you have released me, I will repay the favor. If you are gracious to me alone, I will spare the lives of all your subjects. This proves that I don't have a request for my son, but a real son for me. Ying Zheng bowed. ”

Qiu Peng passed the letter in his hand to Feng Lin and others, and Feng Lin was very surprised after reading the letter: "What is said in this letter?"

Qiu Peng sighed and shook his head and said, "It's very simple, he must have set up an ambush on the way we must return to Hanshu Pass, which is why they are not in a hurry to attack." Because I released him, in order to show that he does not owe me a favor, I point this out to you only to show that we do not owe each other. ”

He Ping breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, Zixuan let him go on a whim, otherwise wouldn't we"

Chen Yanjin sneered and said, "Just an empty word makes you believe him? We broke through so suddenly, how could he have the opportunity to arrange an ambush on our way back?"

Qiu Peng said calmly: "In the art of war, it is said that the first is invincible, and a master of marching and arranging formations like Ying Zhengjiao will inevitably play a few idle chess pieces in some places, these idle chess pieces seem to be useless, but when things develop in an unexpected direction, they can often have a surprising effect." ”

"According to me, Ying Zheng expected that we would not be able to break through, but he also made some preparations in case we were able to break through. The ambush he mentioned should have been set up when we were arranging our troops. ”

Qiu Peng turned his head and saw that there was a look of disbelief on everyone's faces, and said with a slight smile: "This is a good proof, we will rest here for an hour, wait a minute, the army of the men in black will soon retreat, and it will inevitably pass by our sight." ”

When Qiu Peng said this, the disbelief on everyone's faces became even stronger. That's because, if the enemy were to retreat, they didn't have to go through here and be in their sight. You only need to take a detour of a few dozen miles to avoid them.

Therefore, even if the enemy does have ambushes on the way home, he should not be in sight when retreating.

Qiu Peng looked like he was a successful bamboo, ignored everyone, and went to rest. But in his heart, he thought, "This envoy is proud after all." In order to show that he did not actually ask for me, and was unwilling to owe me favors, he was willing to tell the whereabouts of this ambush army himself, and to see his character, and to take into account my problems when reporting his name, then when he sent this letter, he must have thought of how I could win the trust of everyone, so he naturally ordered this ambush to retreat through us and let everyone see it. ”

Qiu Peng continued: "In the final analysis, this is still Yingzheng's pride. Because he didn't want to owe him a favor, and he didn't want me to be punished for releasing him, he wanted to justify my act of releasing him, and to justify me, so that he could do everything possible to prove that if I didn't release him, it would lead both sides to die. ”

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Qiu Peng's mouth, "This is a good opponent! ”

Sure enough, less than a moment later, the sound of the engine sounded in the distance, and an army of men in black galloped quickly in people's sight, looking like there were about two or three thousand people.

Only then was everyone completely convinced, Fan Yichen walked up, and there was a look of admiration in his eyes that was not disguised, but he said with a little míuò: "Li Gongzi, Iǎ will already admire the five bodies." It's just that I really don't understand why the enemy has to pass under our noses when he retreats."

Qiu Peng smiled and said: "This is just a piece of kindness from the envoy of Ying Zheng and Religion. After a pause, Qiu Peng continued: "Now that the crisis is over, I am no longer your hall master, you still call me Li Zixuan." ”

Hearing Qiu Peng's words, Chen Yanjin said coldly: "Do you still know that I am the hall master? Why did you dare to release the enemy's important generals just now? Do you know that I can punish you with a capital crime right now?"

Feng Lin stepped forward and said, "Hall Master Chen, I think this matter needs to be considered in the long run. If it weren't for Li Zixuan's release of the black-clothed sect's envoy, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to go back. ”

"Wrong!" Chen Yanjin said coldly: "Since we know that the hostages we have captured will be the enemy's envoys, we can use the envoys as hostages to threaten them, so that they will not dare to act rashly, and we can naturally return to the Han Pass safely, so I have to suspect that Li Zixuan is suspected of collaborating with the enemy." ”

Feng Lin was speechless for a while, and suddenly felt that what Chen Yanjin said was not unreasonable, but if Qiu Peng didn't release the envoy of Ying Zheng, they would not be able to know that Ying Zheng's true identity would be so important.

Chen Yanjin said coldly: "So, Li Zixuan, you listen to me, from this moment on, you must be investigated, every qiē action must be restrained, you can't leave the barracks, once we return to Féi City, I will inform the current pavilion master, and then deal with it." ”

Qiu Peng glanced at him lightly and didn't speak, which was actually equivalent to being under house arrest. However, looking at the appearance in front of him, although Chen Yanjin put such a charge on himself, it seems that no one dares to speak for him anymore, but looking at the appearance of the officers who dare not speak out, Qiu Peng believes that for the time being, Chen Yanjin will not be able to treat himself as such.

Chen Yanjin had palpitations in his heart, and did not dare to stay here for too long, so he ordered to continue the march and advance towards Hanshu Pass at full speed.

Until the night was completely dark, there were still dozens of miles away from the Han Pass, Chen Yanjin originally wanted to go all the way and rest when he arrived at the Han Pass, but these soldiers had not rested for a day and a night, and they really couldn't hold on, so Chen Yanjin had to order to camp and rest, and ordered the soldiers to guard Qiu Peng and others closely.

At night, Qiu Peng and Siyu were locked together, guarded by soldiers outside. Siyu fell asleep quickly, but Qiu Peng didn't feel sleepy at all, maybe he was too tired to sleep.

In fact, if Qiu Peng wanted to escape, how could a few soldiers be able to watch him? And looking at the appearance of the soldier, even if Qiu Peng swaggered out, they might not dare to stop him, but Qiu Peng felt that he still had to go to Féi City, and if he became a fugitive now, his future actions would be very inconvenient. It's better to stay here for the time being and see if anything changes, and it's not a disaster anyway.

In the middle of the night, a sound of footsteps came, Qiu Peng pushed Siyu on his body, and Siyu woke up immediately. Then I heard a sound of footsteps, followed by a person who said in a voice, "Li Gongzi, are you asleep?"

Qiu Peng heard Feng Lin's voice and said, "Is it Feng Lin Hall Master?" ”

Feng Lin walked in in response, and it was Fan Yichen standing behind him. Qiu Peng smiled and said, "Oh, how could the two bosses have time to come to visit me, a prisoner?"

Feng Lin's face was slightly red, and he said, "Li Gongzi made fun of it." ”

Fan Yichen couldn't wait to say: "Li Zixuan, although we didn't argue for you, it's really because we all know that Hall Master Chen will never allow others to confront him in person, the more you plead, the more he will take Qiao, we all know his habits very well." But our brothers are very impressed and admire you, so we discussed for a long time to find a way out for you. ”

Feng Lin continued: "Yes, we have already planned carefully, in order to cover up the responsibility for the defeat of this war, the master of the Golden Hall Chen will definitely shirk the responsibility, and to cover up the failure, he will need to find a substitute for the dead ghost." You might be the one who dies. I reckon he may have put the blame for the defeat on you. In this way, it is not enough for you to die ten times. ”

Qiu Peng was stunned and had to admit that this was a very reasonable inference. Before this, Qiu Peng didn't realize that things could develop so badly.
