"retreat."

When I heard about the latest changes in the situation in the pass, I saw the two Fenghua girls and the remaining three Langya Army soldiers clinging to the cave, showing their determination to fight to the end. Although the soldiers under my command tried one after another to enter the narrow entrance, they were always blocked by several

People blocked the cave, and Bamutu stood in front of the small window on the second floor of the gatehouse and gave the order to evacuate.

A moment ago, a primary school student came to report that the city was full of war smoke and dead bodies were everywhere. Marshal Arutai and deputy general Bolsaiin Timur led their troops to break through the city gates on the north and south sides respectively. Among them, Ah

Lutai fought fiercely with Lu Xiu's tribe outside the South Gate for a long time. In the end, the remnants of less than 10,000 troops broke out, while the rest who could not come out stayed in the pass.

Bosain Timur was fighting fiercely with Lanqiao and Zhang Fu's coalition forces at the foot of Beiguan. During the battle, he accidentally broke through the formation and was killed by Lanqiao's Langya cavalry. He was killed on the spot by Lanqiao.

The team immediately collapsed. Many soldiers tried to escape, but were blocked by the Peking Army. In desperation, they had to return to Guancheng.

These Tatar soldiers who failed to break out rushed back to the pass, and the number of people stranded in the pass increased again. Many soldiers were exposed to the poisonous smoke, but the two officers escaped and died. They seemed to be abandoned. In despair, they had to fight in the pass.

They ran away, trying to find a place without poisonous smoke to survive. But when they died from the poisonous smoke, poisonous smoke also appeared in places where the poisonous smoke did not reach.

Ten thousand, twenty thousand people. As time went by, more and more people died from the poisonous smoke. The beacon smoke covered more than half of the city, almost covering the entire Juyong Pass.

Some people thought of Bamutu, who was still attacking Xiaoyuntai, and rushed to seek refuge as if grasping at straws. However, before he could get there, he fell to the ground with poisonous hair, and new poisonous smoke emerged from the body.

At this moment, it was only a matter of time to break through the cave guarded by the two Fenghua girls. Bamutu, Tuoba Liang and others were even more worried about whether they would have a chance to escape with the speed at which the poisonous smoke was spreading.

"This bastard Arutai left us and ran away without even sending anyone to notify us." Bamutu's forehead had veins popping out as he looked towards the streets under Xiaoyuntai.

Tuoba Liang said in a deep voice: "The situation is critical right now. Every time we delay, our hope of escaping will get smaller and smaller. If we evacuate now, we may still have a chance to escape from the alley that has not been affected by the poisonous smoke. If we wait,

If the poisonous smoke reaches the vicinity of this stone platform, we will all be doomed."

"But these enemy spies..." Bamutu looked towards the cave.

Suoluo said angrily: "Alutai has already run away, what do you care about what they do, do they work hard for Arutai until they die? If you don't leave, I will leave first."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked down the stone steps outside Xiaoyuntai.

Yepauri and Solo had always been good friends. When he saw Solo leaving, he quickly followed him down the stone steps.

Bamutu saw that the cave was within easy reach. Although it was a pity to retreat at this time, escaping was ultimately important. He issued an order to have his soldiers move from the rear to the front and evacuate Xiaoyuntai.

Seeing several masters outside the Great Wall, Bamutu and his Tatar soldiers leaving like an ebbing tide, Hua Yuxi could no longer hold on, let out a long breath, and sat down against the cave wall with her body aching.

Feng Yeling, whose whole body was almost covered in blood, put down the Lingge halberd and sat down opposite Hua Yuxi with her legs limp.

They were too tired and had no energy at the moment, and they were in no mood to rejoice that the enemy had retreated. They were already numb to killing and being killed.

Counting from the time they abandoned the gate tower and guarded the cave, they fought fiercely at the entrance of the cave for about an hour. Because the two Fenghua girls were close to exhaustion, they had to make short retreats several times to adjust their breath, leaving the four Langya Army soldiers

They took turns filling up the defensive positions in front of the cave entrance. Among them, Wu Yi, Duan Shaohui and Meng Jing suffered new injuries. Fan Chenghe received a fatal sword wound from Solo and died on the spot.

At this time, they waited until the clouds cleared and the moon came out, and when all the Tatars were gone, Wu Yi, Meng Jing and Duan Shaohui all fell to the ground, gasping for air, unable to believe that they could really survive to the end.

The corpses of his comrades were lying not far away. Fan Chenghe was in the cave, and many other comrades fell in the gatehouse and on the platform.

Of course, there are more enemy corpses to accompany you.

Although they were still recovering from the disaster, none of them could feel happy looking at the corpses strewn all over the ground.

"Let's go out and take a look." Meng Jing and Duan Shaohui struggled to stand up again, walked out of the cave holding on to the wall, and returned to the gatehouse where they had fought fiercely.

Feng Yeling knew that they wanted to clean up the corpses of their companions, so she nodded slightly, and Wu Yi followed him out of the cave and said, "I'll go out to pee too."

Hua Yuxi blinked and said, "This kid Wu Yi is still sensible."

Seeing that Feng Yeling didn't understand what she meant, Hua Yuxi lowered her voice and explained: "It has been more than four hours since we started poisoning. He said it would be convenient for him to go out and only leave us two girls behind. What?

What does it mean? Of course, it also gives us a 'convenient' time."

Feng Yeling blushed and spat: "You are the only one who thinks too much."

Hua Yuxi rolled her eyes at her and said, "I don't think much. If you have the ability, just hold it back."

Feng Yeling let out a "poof" and said, "Who is as anxious as you?" Even though she said this, she and Hua Yuxi still supported each other and walked along the cave to the depths of the mountain.

They walked to the corner at the end of the mountain, looked at each other, and then turned to a pile of military supplies. There was a tacit understanding among girls that "everything is said without saying anything."

After the two women had finished solving their problems, Hua Yuxi looked at the huge, empty and dark mountainside and said, "I heard that you and the young master were once trapped in such a mountainside? Is that when you fell in love with him?"

One sentence brought Feng Yeling back to distant memories, reminding her of the sweet scene of being dependent on each other when she and Lan Qiao were trapped at the foot of Yuanbao Mountain.

"Actually, it was earlier than that." Feng Yeling's voice seemed to be mumbling, "It's just that I feel more confident when I am in a desperate situation."

"Let me tell you a secret." Hua Yuxi's face was hidden in the darkness. She was silent for a long time, and finally said quietly, "A secret that I should have told you a long time ago."

After fighting side by side with Hua Yuxi for such a long time, Feng Yeling no longer cared what she called him. He curled his lips and said, "I know even if you don't tell me."

Hua Yuxi said in astonishment: "What do you know?"

"You are so afraid of me. You saw me and a mouse meeting a cat before. How can it be a secret? Don't you just want to say that you like him too?" Feng Yeling said angrily, but he was not really angry.

"Of course, the rumors are known to everyone, so there's no reason why you don't know about them." Hua Yuxi smiled bitterly, "Did you think we had sex?"

"Don't you?" Feng Yeling snorted, "That night we were celebrating in the mountain city, and he hurriedly quit and went out to find you in the middle of the night. You didn't say that you just lay together and watched the stars, right?"

"No, we don't." Hua Yuxi said sincerely but a little bitterly, "Maybe you don't believe it, but until now, I am still perfect."

"Ah? Are you..." Feng Yeling was a little unbelievable this time, looking at Hua Yuxi's blurry outline in the dark, "But you are still thinking about him and want to sleep with him. You can't do this."

Will you deny it?"

"I don't deny it." Hua Yuxi said calmly, "Although this is a fact, it is not a secret."

"Then what is the secret?" Feng Yeling asked.

Hua Yuxi sighed softly and finally said: "Hua Yuxi is not actually Hua Yuxi, or at least, it is more than just Hua Yuxi."

Feng Yeling was silent.

Hua Yuxi smiled self-deprecatingly: "You don't seem surprised?"

"Actually, I guessed it, but I didn't guess it accurately. Ever since the sword fight between you and me, I had a vague suspicion in my heart, but I couldn't find any evidence." Feng Yeling hesitated and said, "How did you do it?

"

"The fact that you were able to break my 'Shendu Guose' without warning means you have seen through the subsequent changes in my style, and I also know that you have seen through it. I dance into the sword, and if you want to break my swordsmanship, you must first

Understand my dance." Hua Yuxi took out the porcelain bottle filled with reducing agent, applied it little by little on the edge of her cheek, slowly took off the mask, and spoke in Li Jingshu's original voice: "In this world, no one can compare to Feng.

Ye Ling understands Li Jingshu's dance better."

"Sister Jingshu!" With the faint light coming from outside the cave, Feng Yeling finally saw the person standing in front of her clearly and said in a trembling voice.

"So I paid extra attention afterwards. When you asked me to get water for you to wash your feet that day, I was on guard. Not only did I wash it myself first, but I also used internal force to hold back the meridians to prevent the smell from spreading." Hua Yuxi was helpless.

Authentic: "I didn't mean to hide it from you, because the war is coming, and I don't want the grudge between us to affect your state of mind."

"You underestimate me too much." Feng Yeling snorted disdainfully, waited for a moment, bit her lip and asked again: "Does he know?"

Hua Yuxi nodded, fearing that she would be angry, and then advised: "Don't blame him for not telling you. Whoever encounters such a thing would not know how to open his mouth. If you have any grievances, just come at me, it's none of his business."

matter."

"He has you in his heart." Feng Yeling continued, "He told me personally when we got married at the entrance of Black Rock Gorge."

"What he liked was the innocent tea-picking girl back then, not the murderous devil she is now." Hua Yuxi hesitated to speak, and finally concluded: "You are a match sent by God, but we are not meant to be destined to each other.

.”

Feng Yeling did not answer her words and asked instead: "Did you also set up the situation in Yueyang? You deliberately met him on that mountain and deliberately led us to the auction house just so that we could redeem you.

.Oh, okay, it’s my private money that I spent to redeem it for a spy.”

Hua Yuxi admitted frankly: "At that time, I really wanted to use the young master and your old love for me to infiltrate you, in order to find out the whereabouts of young master An Yixin. Later, I had planned to take you to the streets on the Dragon Boat Festival. I wanted to

I sold you to the Yueyang Water Sect and exchanged you with them for a young master. Unfortunately, Xiang Yixuan tipped you off and asked him to come and rescue you."

"It turns out you designed this too." Feng Yeling suddenly said, "If you hadn't reminded me, I would have thought it was a coincidence."

"How can there be so many coincidences in the world?" Hua Yuxi added, "On the first day in Bishui Jietian Tower, I also ran to the young master's bed at night to seduce him, and finally led him to the Qionglutian where Alutai is.

The purpose is to capture him alive and then exchange the young master with Feng Yueming."

Feng Yeling listened to her quietly and finally said: "There is one more thing I don't understand."

Hua Yuxi said with a smile: "I know what you are talking about."

"Zuo Zhan." The two women said almost in unison.

"When Lan Qiao appeared from the trestle, you were obviously waiting by the side. Why didn't you stop him from killing Zuo Zhan?" Feng Yeling asked tentatively, "This is not a question of ability, right?"

"Because he has blasphemed you, no one can do this." Hua Yuxi repeated: "No one."

Feng Yeling remembered something again and said, "So, when they treated me politely in Chushui City later, was that what you wanted?"

"It's my intention, and it's also the hall master's intention." Hua Yuxi held Feng Yeling's hand and said, "Although we have taken different paths, I have thought about capturing you and using you, but you are still mine.

Good sister, if Zuo Zhan bullies you like he did, I won't tolerate him."

Feng Yeling threw her hand away and said coldly: "But in fact, you are the one who hurt me the most. In the Mountain City Incident in the first year of Jianwen, the maidservant of my family's master became a thief overnight. Although the person in charge was Zhang Zhongjie,

But I don’t believe that you weren’t involved in the whole thing. There was also the Dragon Boat Festival, when we were forced to dance for Ren Da, Shao Jian and the others. Although you were with us, Ren Da and Shao Jian also returned to the underworld, but that day

I will never forget the humiliation I suffered."

"Yes, you are right. Most of the misfortunes you have suffered are inseparable from me." Hua Yuxi sighed, suddenly moved lightly, turned to Feng Yeling and said: "Now that the enemy has retreated, it's time to
To be continued...
