In the end, Chu Ling still couldn't say about Xie Tingze because what Xie Tingze said was absolutely considerable facts. It is hard to say whether to save people or take them to die.

However, the reason Chu Ling believed was not enough to convince Xie Tingze himself and his deputy generals. Baili Qinghong wanted to kill Xie Tingze? Could it be dangerous for Xie Tingze to go? Where isn't it dangerous on the battlefield? And if you just know that there is danger, you see so many soldiers going deep into the dangerous ground without helping, or you can watch Chu Ling continue to take risks with another group of soldiers because you are not familiar with the terrain, Xie Tingze will definitely not be able to do such a thing.

Looking at Xie Tingze's resolute expression and the confused appearance of the deputy general next to him, Chu Ling couldn't help feeling a little powerless from his heart.

Xie Tingze looked at Chu Ling and said, "Princess, I understand that the princess is worried about my safety. But... I have lived to this age, and no matter what I say, I have lived enough. I can't even abandon what I should have done for a few more days, right? If so, where will I live in the world?"

Chu Ling took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Zi, you go with the old general Xie. Please be careful with the old general."

Xie Tingze said: "Don't worry, princess, there will be a princess here."

Xiao Shi nodded solemnly, reassuring Chu Ling that as long as he was in Xie Tingze, there would be no trouble. But looking at Xie Tingze's back as he left with someone, Chu Ling's heart was still difficult to calm down.

Deputy General Liu also felt that Chu Ling was in a bad mood and said in confusion: "Is the princess worried that Baili Qinghong would attack the old general again? With General Xiao here, there should be no need to worry?" Deputy General Liu had seen Xiao Feng's strength, not to mention that the city lord arranged for someone to protect him by his side. Deputy General Liu felt that his wife's worries were too redundant.

Chu Ling shook her head and said in a deep voice: "End the war in front of you first!"

The two armies have confronted each other for these days. Today's battle can be said to be the most exciting time. Neither side has kept their strength like before. A war has almost subsided from daytime to night before it gradually subsided. By the time the troops were withdrawn, the troops on both sides had been lost, and basically they could not fight again even if they wanted to fight again in the past few days.

But Chu Ling didn't know who won this battle. If Cangyun City won, they had already exposed the fact that they were sitting in Cangyun City and even nearby were empty. Now the total number of soldiers and horses that could guard Cangyun City was less than 30,000, and many were wounded. If Tuoba Yin won, Tuoba Yin sacrificed 100,000 Southern Army and most of his cavalry were lost, but he still did not rush through the checkpoint in front of him to the border of the Western Qin Dynasty. With such casualties, I am afraid that Tuoba Yin would not have the face to think that he had won.

Even if Chu Ling gave up the road in front of him, it would be difficult for him to support him with the remaining troops. If the reinforcements from the Northern Jin Dynasty arrived, the Northern Jin Dynasty soldiers who were trapped in the Western Qin might have been deserted.

The real loss-making.

Chu Ling had no time to care about this at this time, and only told the deputy general to be careful of the attacks of the tribesmen again, so he hurriedly led Yun Xingyue and the others to the direction where Xie Tingze and Xiao Shi left.

Late at night, on a rough mountain road, a figure stood at the end of the mountain road as if waiting for someone there. Chu Ling tied the reins and raised his hand to signal the person behind him to stop moving forward. He looked up and saw clearly the appearance of the person coming.

"Tuoba Yin." Chu Ling said in a deep voice.

Tuoba Yin stood alone at the end of the path and said, "Princess Shenyou, we're meeting again."

Chu Ling sneered, "Yes, it's less than half an hour before we met last time." Both of them had just come down from the battlefield, and they didn't even have time to change their clothes. Tuoba Yin appeared here, and Chu Ling's uneasiness became more and more powerful. He didn't have the intention to talk nonsense to Tuoba Yin anymore, and said in a deep voice: "King Chen, get out of here!"

Tuoba Yin did not answer, but just reached out and pulled out the sword from his waist and slowly raised it, pointing directly at Chu Ling opposite him.

Yun Xingyue was beside Chu Ling and whispered: "You go first, let's stop him."

Chu Ling nodded slightly, "Be careful." He jumped up from the horse's back and rushed in the other direction. At the same time, Yun Xingyue and the few people around him rushed towards Tuoba Yin. Tuoba Yin ignored them and chased directly in the direction of Chu Ling. In just a moment, Tuoba Yin stopped Chu Ling. The people who were originally following Chu Ling did not follow him except Yun Xingyue.

If Tuoba Yin fought with them, it might be possible to delay for a while. But Tuoba Yin ignored these people at all and just stared at Chu Ling. With his strength, he could naturally keep up with Chu Ling's light skills, but those guards might not be able to keep up.

Chu Ling said: "It seems that you can't get through without a fight?"

Tuoba Yin said: "It's too late for you to go now. Why should you struggle again even though you know the result?"

A silver light flashed, and Chu Ling was already pounced on him with the Liuyue Sword. Tuoba Yin did not dodge and stabbed Chu Ling mercilessly. Yun Xingyue looked at the two people who had already started fighting, but wanted to intervene but found that he could not penetrate at all. His martial arts were still a bit invisible than a real master.

Chu Ling, who was fighting, said, "Yun Xingyue, take people away first!" Yun Xingyue hesitated for a moment, and Chu Ling said in a deep voice: "Go away!"

"Be careful!" Yun Xingyue also knew that she was not busy now, and even more so what Chu Ling was worried about. She had to nod helplessly and turned around and leave.

The fight was much more intense than the previous one, and there was no longer any verbal communication. Chu Ling attacked Tuoba Yin without saying a word. Tuoba Yin also responded without hesitation, and soon there were some scars of big and small on both bodies. But no one wanted to stop, as if they had some irreconcilable hatred. In fact, they were indeed considered to have a deep hatred.

In this world, what kind of hatred can be deeper and heavier than national hatred and family hatred?

Yun Xingyue and his men were fast horses, and even when they found Xiao Feng and others, it was already late at night. The two soldiers who left one after another did not have any major problems during the day, which made Yun Xingyue relieved. However, when he saw Xiao Feng but did not see Xie Tingze, Yun Xingyue couldn't laugh again. After a moment of silence, Yun Xingyue asked, "Where is the old general Xie?"

Xiao Shi looked at Yun Xingyue deeply, raised his hand and pointed to a small hill in front of him and said, "Where."

"What does it mean?" Yun Xingyue was a little puzzled.

Xiao Feng said: "General Xie and Baili Qinghong made an appointment there... to break the relationship between master and apprentice."

"What?!" Yun Xingyue was shocked and pulled Xiao Shi up and said, "Isn't this a mess? Go quickly!" Baili Qinghong was going to kill Xie Tingze. With Xie Tingze's current state, he was probably not able to beat Baili Qinghong. Why did he break the relationship between master and apprentice? He was directly killed by Baili Qinghong? Xiao Shi did not follow Yun Xingyue forward, but grabbed Yun Xingyue who wanted to rush over and said in a deep voice: "Young Master Yun, don't have to go there."

"What are you talking about? General Xie is confused. Are you confused too?" Yun Xingyue said angrily. They had just come down from the battlefield without having time to breathe. Princess Shenyou and Tuoba Yin have no idea the result of the fight. Could it be that they just wanted to watch Xie Tingze go to die?

Xiao Shi sighed and said, "This is what General Xie means."

"What?" Yun Xingyue felt that the most said tonight seemed to be these two words, but he didn't know what to say except these two words. Xiao Xi looked at the direction of the mountain and said in a deep voice: "Baili Qinghong did bring people to ambush Cangyun's army. General Xie and I rushed in, but we couldn't take everyone out safely. Baili Qinghong didn't really want these people and horses, all he wanted was... the life of the old general Xie. Baili Qinghong and Xie agreed that the two armies would withdraw at the same time, and he and Baili Qinghong broke up alone."

Yun Xingyue was stunned and said for a while: "Half General Xie agreed?" Yun Xingyue wanted to say, "Cang Yunjun was not the one who survived by the sacrifice of others' lives? But... is this choice really wrong? There were thousands of soldiers in front and behind, and the lives of thousands of people and Xie Tingze... It seems that no matter how you choose, it is wrong. However, the person who made the choice this time was Xie Tingze. Xie Tingze chose to sacrifice himself, and no one can say that he did the wrong thing.

Xiao Shi pulled out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Yun Xingyue. The envelope was sealed and wrote: Princess Shenyou, and the minister Xie Tingze came to him. Xie Tingze naturally could not go into battle to kill the enemy and also carried four treasures of the study, envelopes and lacquer. This letter was obviously prepared in advance, which means that Xie Tingze might have expected today. How could it be? He didn't believe that Princess Shenyou and they could protect him?

Yun Xingyue inhaled and exhaled twice before turning around and heading towards the mountain.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Shi said in a deep voice.

Yun Xingyue said angrily: "Will I go to see you off and collect the body?"

“…”

When Chu Ling arrived, it was already three o'clock in the morning. A full moon hung in the sky, and the night was as cool as water. However, Chu Ling's forehead was rushing to the road. Although there was no scar on her body in the night, Xiao Feng could smell a faint smell of blood. It was obvious that Chu Ling was injured and the wound had not been bandaged yet.

"Princess." Xiao Zi said in a low voice with shame. Chu Ling's heart sank and smelled: "Where is General Xie?"

Xiao Shi raised his hand and was about to point forward but suddenly was stunned. Chu Ling also looked in the direction he was looking at. Not far away, the man in white was walking down the mountain. Chu Ling naturally recognized that it was Baili Qinghong. At this time, Baili Qinghong was holding a sword in his hand, but in the other hand, he was walking down the hillside as if he was a baggage.

Chu Ling closed her eyes in pain. Her relationship with Xie Tingze was not deep. Whether six years ago or in recent years, she had almost never seen Xie Tingze several times. But... whenever she thought of the old man's white hair, his straight back, and the firelight flashing in his old eyes, Chu Ling felt that she could not calm down.

She swore to protect the person she wanted to protect, but she died in front of her in just one or two days.

Such an old man who should have been in his old age spent most of his life fighting for the apocalypse, but in the end he died under the sword of his disciples.

Baili Qinghong was not alone. There were already several men in black at the foot of the mountain to greet him. Chu Ling naturally recognized that he was from the underworld.

"Princess." Xiao Shi looked at her with some concern. Chu Ling knew that he was afraid of his impulse. Not only were there people from the underworld prison at the foot of the mountain, but there were also many southern troops stationed not far away. What's more, she was seriously injured now, so it was unlikely to kill Baili Qinghong. Baili Qinghong seemed to notice Chu Ling's gaze and slowly turned her head to look at the man in black who was coming up. The two looked at each other for a moment in the air. Baili Qinghong retracted her gaze and looked down at the bloody bag in her hand.

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Ling was already standing on the hillside where Baili Qinghong's previous combat power. Baili Qinghong and his group had gradually moved away. Obviously, their target was clear and Xie Tingze died. They did not want to lead a group of Southern Army to provoke these Cangyun Army. Chu Ling looked down at the pool of brown blood on the ground. A gust of cold wind blew by and felt cold body and mind.

Yun Xingyue walked down from the mountain step by step, her expression solemn that she didn't look like the one who cares about nothing. Seeing Chu Ling standing there, Yun Xingyue was stunned and said, "Why are you here?" Chu Ling looked at him and said, "I always have to come and see... Old General Xie." Yun Xingyue said, "There is nothing good to look at. I have already placed the body of Old General Xie."

Chu Ling frowned slightly, stared at Yun Xingyue and said, "Have you settled?"

Yun Xingyue nodded and said, "It was buried directly in the back mountain, which is also a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. This is what General Xie said, after all... nothing is good to look at." Chu Ling knew what Baili Qinghong took away, and the corpse with his head chopped was indeed not good to look good. But... "You said this is what General Xie said? Have you spoken to him?"

Yun Xingyue smiled bitterly and said, "You don't think that my martial arts will not be discovered by Baili Qinghong, right? General Xie asked me to tell you... You don't have to take this matter in your heart. This is the ending he should have long ago. Just to trouble you, he promised Jun Wuhuan to guard Cangyun City for one month, and there will be only ten days to fill one month."

Chu Ling gritted her teeth and said, "What does it mean to have an ending that should have been long ago?"

Yun Xingyue shook her head and pulled out the letter that Xiao Shi had given him from her sleeve: "This is the letter given to Xiao Shi by Old General Xie."

Chu Ling took the envelope and looked at it. She could naturally see what Yun Xingyue could see. Obviously, Xie Tingze had been preparing for this day for a long time, and he had never thought that they could protect him. Perhaps, from the moment Baili Qinghong came to Cangyun City, he had already foresawed this moment. Chu Ling put away the letter and turned to walk up the mountain. Yun Xingyue hurriedly followed, "What are you going to do?"

Chu Ling said: "You have to take a look at the body of General Xie... You did the right thing, and it is indeed a good place to place it here now. As for the future... let's talk about it."

Tuoba Yin sat in his big tent, and the medical officer watching was treating his wounds. This time, Chu Ling was injured very much, and Tuoba Yin did not take any advantage. Although there were no particularly serious injuries, a scar on his arm from his left shoulder was not shallow. The medical officer had cleaned the wound and applied medicine, and was carrying a quick cloth towel to carefully wrap him in his wounds. "Fortunately, it is late autumn now, and the wound can heal faster. However, it is better for King Chen to not use this arm in the past few days." The medical officer reminded him while packing up his things.

Tuoba Yin nodded and said, "I understand, thank you."

The medical officer looked at Tuoba Yin and said, "There are other injuries on the prince's body... The younger one left some medicine, and the prince will deal with it by himself." Naturally, Tuoba Yin would not have only this scar on his body, but it was the most serious this time. Obviously, he didn't see anything else and did not let the medical officer deal with it for himself.

Tuoba Yin nodded, watched the medical officer withdraw and asked, "Is Baili Qinghong back?"

The guard next to him said, "Go back to the prince, there is not yet."

Tuoba Yin nodded and said, "When he reaches this point, if he still can't kill Xie Tingze... let's do as His Majesty's will."

The guard nodded and said, "Prince, please rest assured, my subordinates have already arranged it. But...if he, will he not come back?"

Tuoba Yin frowned slightly and said, "Don't worry, I feel... Your Majesty's worries are a bit unnecessary." The guard was puzzled, "Your Majesty believes in Baili Qinghong?" Tuoba Yin sneered, "Believe in him? It's better to believe in his ambition. Tuoba Liang himself wants to lead the wolf into the house. One day, if he is bitten back, he will not blame others. If Baili Qinghong wants to rebel, he will have been rebelled long ago. For so many years, he has worked hard and worked hard, is he willing to let go like this?"

"But... Xie Tingze is his teacher after all." Although the people of the Clan are not as particular as the Apocalypse, they still respect their teachers as well.

Tuoba Yin said: "He abandoned the Baili family, what is the teacher?"

While he was talking, someone hurried in and reported, "Your Majesty, the prince Baili is back!"

Tuoba Yin was not surprised, but just asked, "How is it?"

"The Prince Baili came back with a bloody package, as if... a head."

Tuoba Yin raised his eyes, looked at the guard in front of him, and said lightly: "It seems that your Majesty should be satisfied. Send me a letter back to Beijing to the eldest brother."

"Yes, Prince." The guard replied, asking, "Prince, where is Baili Qinghong..."

Tuoba Yin said: "Ignore it, he will leave soon. Our enemies are Cang Yunjun and... Princess Shenyou!"

"Yes, my subordinates understand." The guard said in a deep voice.
