Yuchi Pingting smiled, then ducked outside the Chinese military tent and looked through the gap. In addition to the general-looking man who just entered, there were two witnesses standing there as if waiting for something. Yuchi Pingting
I thought that the general must have something important to discuss with the Five-Way Pioneers, so he walked up to the guards outside the general's tent and said matter-of-factly: "The general wants to discuss something important with the Five-Road Pioneers. You guys?"
Go and have a look around, don't let anyone get close."
The few guards had just seen what the general said to the little patrol, and they immediately believed it to be true, so they withdrew one after another and dispersed to guard a place about a foot away from the central military tent to prevent anyone from getting close.
Yuchi Pingting swaggered and stood close to the tent. After seeing the five vanguards entering the Chinese military tent one after another, voices came from inside. Yuchi Pingting's current ears were able to hear their conversation clearly.
"How are you preparing?" This was the voice of the person who had just spoken to Yuchi Pingting, that is, the general.
"Reporting to the general, all arrangements are going according to plan." A somewhat old voice said.
"Very good, I heard that Nangong Xiong, Prince Hui of Daliang, is dead." The general said, with indescribable excitement in his voice.
"God helps me, but Nangong Xiong's son Nangong Feiran should not be underestimated." A sharp voice said.
Hearing them mention Nangong Feiran, Yuchi Pingting listened even more carefully.
"I heard from Liehuo that Nangong Feiran doesn't need to be considered. From this point of view, the generals who can pose a threat to Daliang are no longer threats. In this battle, even if we spend everything we have, we must win Luoyang City!"
Yuchi Pingting was shocked. They were so loud. The battle had just ended, so why did they sound as if they were preparing for battle? Although Yuchi Pingting was confused, she thought that they said that the news about Nangong Feiran came from the Agni Fire Camp.
Yes, I thought I should go to Camp Agni. He exited carefully. Before leaving, he patted the shoulders of the guards and said, "The generals have finished discussing important matters. You can return to your original posts."
Already."
The guards looked at me and you in confusion, and then watched Yuchi Pingting walk out of the military camp with her head held high.
In the Yingke Restaurant, Yuchi Pingting sat at the window on the second floor and drank a glass of wine from the Liao Kingdom. She thought that the wine from the Liang Kingdom was more mellow, but when she first touched her mouth, the wine from the Liao Kingdom was too cold to taste.
throat, but after passing through the internal organs, there is another fragrance coming back from the throat.
Just as he was thinking about a figure, he sat opposite him.
"Boss, I found out something important." Yi Xiaoyao said hurriedly.
Yuchi Pingting didn't panic at all. She just picked up a wine glass and placed it in front of Yi Xiaoyao. Then she picked up the wine pot and poured Yi Xiaoyao a glass of wine. She said proudly: "Try the wine first."
Yi Xiaoyao smiled, picked up the wine glass, smelled it in front of his nose, and then drank it in one gulp. He knew that if the boss went to Feilong Camp, it would be impossible for him to return empty-handed without getting some news, but the boss often
The more important things he had to face, the more calm he became. Yi Xiaoyao couldn't help but say "good wine".
"Now tell me what you have learned?" Yuchi Pingting said happily.
"The Fierce Wolf Camp is preparing for war. There is indeed a Liang General, but in the Liehuo Camp, the leader of the Liehuo Camp is Hua Shaorong." Yi Xiaoyao calmly finished the results of his inquiries.
"Hua Shaorong?" The first two Yuchi Pingting also knew about it, but she didn't know about this Hua Shaorong.
Seeing Yuchi Pingting's confused eyes, Yi Xiaoyao continued to explain: "This Hua Shaorong is the youngest and most promising general in Daliao. This man comes from a famous family and loves his talents as much as his life. In this war, he
He is the commander-in-chief, he is younger than the commander-in-chiefs of the other two battalions, but he holds the tiger talisman for this one hundred thousand army." Yi Xiaoyao said.
"You mean, this person is good at fighting?" Yuchi Pingting asked.
"good."
"Are there still 100,000 troops ready to go?" A hint of gloom flashed in Yuchi Pingting's eyes.
"Boss, don't you find it strange? The two armies have just ceased fighting, but why is it that the Liao army is ready to go, as if the war has just begun?"
Yi Xiaoyao was thinking the same thing as her, but she didn't know what the answer was, so she said, "I'm afraid I won't know until I walk through the Fierce Fire Camp."
"Boss, let's go together." Yi Xiaoyao's tone refused.
Yuchi Pingting smiled and said nothing. After drinking the wine in the glass, she took out a piece of silver and put it on the table before standing up to leave. Yi Xiaoyao also hurriedly followed.
Agni Fire Camp seemed to be very different from the Feilong Camp and Fierce Wolf Camp they had gone to previously. After looking at the situation outside the camp, the two found it difficult to sneak in. So the two waited patiently for dark.
At night, the lights in the military camp were brightly lit, and the two of them jumped up and fell into the firewood pile in the camp as lightly as swallows.
Yuchi Pingting made a gesture, Yi Xiaoyao nodded, and the two of them ran towards a huge tent at the same time. Such a large tent is usually a Chinese military tent, but the two of them knocked down the guards outside the tent and
After dragging them into the darkness, they walked into the tent and found that there was no one inside.
The tent was lit with lights and all the items were available. Judging from the layout, it must be a big shot living here, but there was no one there at this time.
Yuchi Pingting and Yi Xiaoyao looked at each other, and suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside. Yuchi Pingting signaled Yi Xiaoyao to go outside to meet her, while she hid behind a cabinet. Although Yi Xiaoyao was worried, she was in a hurry.
At the critical moment, he obeyed Yuchi Pingting's instructions, turned around, and disappeared into the night in an instant.
Yuchi Pingting heard a few people walking in, and a loud and magnetic voice said: "The general is my distinguished guest, and this tent is your resting place. I hope the general will forgive me for any lack of hospitality."
"General Hua, why did you say this? You gave me your tent for me. I am really grateful." This voice was so familiar that Yuchi Pingting couldn't help but feel shocked.
"General Yuchi, we are a family from now on, why should we be so polite?"
"Haha, what General Hua said is absolutely true." Several people laughed.
Yuchi Pingting could not believe her ears. Indeed, this voice was indeed very familiar. He was Yuchi Changxun!
"General Yuchi, when do you think the best time to start the army is?" Hua Shaorong asked.
"In my opinion, the sooner the better. The generals in Daliang are still immersed in the victory of the last small battle. We must act quickly and ruthlessly now to catch them off guard." Yuchi Changxun said fiercely.
.
"What the general said is absolutely true. According to the general, who will Daliang send as the chief general?" Hua Shaorong asked again.
"Nangong Feiran is dead. Emperor Nangong Xiong will not use him, but I heard that he is also dead. In this case, with the efforts of that person in the court, General Sheng'an will definitely be sent."
"I have already seen Sheng'an's use of troops. It is not worth mentioning. With this, it will be just around the corner for me, the Liao Dynasty's 100,000 cavalry, to set foot on the Liang Kingdom." Hua Shaorong said arrogantly.
"General, don't forget the agreement." Yuchi Changxun reminded.
"Haha, don't worry, General Yuchi, I know what to do."
"But General, there is one more thing to do now..." Yuchi Changxun said and gestured towards the cabinet where Yuchi Pingting was hiding.
When Hua Shaorong saw a figure under the cabinet, he immediately pulled out the sword from his waist and said, "Yes, this matter must be dealt with first." He slowly approached the cabinet with his feet.
Yuchi Pingting could hear their voices, but could not see their actions and expressions. When she was thinking about why the two people's tones were a little different, she suddenly saw her own shadow on the ground. She secretly screamed, but she suddenly raised
With a breath of true energy, he saw the right opportunity and rushed out suddenly. He felt a sharp sword slash across his face. The cold feeling was still there, and he rushed out of the tent in one swift step.
Hua Shaorong, Yuchi Changxun and several others caught up with him. They had just chased not far when they suddenly heard someone shouting "fire, fire".
Hua Shaorong looked back and saw that the food and fodder accompanying the army were on fire. He immediately asked his deputy general to chase him while he turned around to put out the fire.
When Yuchi Changxun saw this, he stopped and returned to the army. Although he didn't see the face of the man just now, the back made him feel very familiar.
Yuchi Pingting unfolded her footwork, and her body was as light as a swallow. Her skill was unmatched by the two lieutenants. She quickly disappeared without a trace. The two lieutenants saw that there was no trace, so they had no choice but to give up.
In the Chinese army's tent, Hua Shaorong was furious and scolded several of his soldiers: "You losers, people even come to my tent without knowing it. What's the use of you losers? Where are the guards who are on duty?"
Go out and kill him." It was a shame for Hua Shaorong to let others come into his tent, eavesdrop on his conversation, and burn the food and grass.
"Reporting to the general, the two men on duty have been found, but they were found behind the grain warehouse, and they were unconscious." A deputy general stepped forward and said.
"General Hua, please don't be angry anymore. The top priority is to march as soon as possible. If that person last night was a spy from the Liang Kingdom, even if you report back and order the troops to set off, it will still be a while. Our time is precious now." Yuchi Changxun said.
.
After hearing what Yuchi Changxun said, Hua Shaorong felt that what he said was reasonable, so he stopped scolding the people around him and began to plan the battle situation.
Yuchi Pingting and Yi Xiaoyao were on their way back to Desert Villa.
"Xiaoyao, did you set the fire?" Yuchi Pingting asked.
"I think the only way you can escape is by doing something else to divert their attention." Yi Xiaoyao said proudly.
"Although the fire was put out quickly, I have to say that it was put out at the right time." Yuchi Pingting said with a smile.
"Boss, it turns out that the Liang man who returned to the Liao Kingdom was Yuchi Changxun?" Yi Xiaoyao was a little surprised.
Not only Yi Xiaoyao was surprised, but Yuchi Pingting was also surprised. She originally thought that her younger brother would do something great, but unexpectedly he turned out to be a traitor to the enemy. But from what he said, it seemed that there was someone else behind the scenes.
"Thirty-six dead people, thirty-four corpses, we have recovered one." Yuchi Pingting said.
"I hope that the crown prince will also be well." Yi Xiaoyao said: "I have inquired and found out that the Liao army did not capture any prisoners this time, and the Liang man they are talking about is Yuchi Changxun, so the crown prince should not be in the Liao Kingdom." Yi Xiaoyao said.
said.
"Then I really don't know whether I am happy or sad." Yuchi Pingting said, indeed, he is not in the Liao Kingdom, so where is he? Is he alive or dead? Where to look for it? In the past five years, the first
This is the first time she has felt this way.
"Boss, it seems that they will launch a war. It is an indisputable fact. What should we do?" Yi Xiaoyao asked.
"It's really a good time for them to choose to launch the war." Yuchi Pingting said. In this case, it makes sense why the Liang Army easily won the last battle. The Liao Army deliberately wanted to lose in order to paralyze them.
Liang Jun, now Liang Jun is still immersed in the joy of victory, and all the soldiers are still receiving rewards in the capital. At this time, a hundred thousand Liao troops suddenly appeared at the border. The Liang border will definitely be caught off guard. At that time, the two countries will start a fight again.
Already.
"Let's go back." Yuchi Pingting said.
"Aren't we on the way back?" Yi Xiaoyao said.
"I mean to set off today, return to the Liang Kingdom, alert the border, and report to the court in time." Yuchi Pingting's expression was complicated.
"That prince?" Yi Xiaoyao asked.
"Let nature take its course." Yuchi Pingting said. She knew that the court must know about this matter as soon as possible and send troops. Although she did not care about the life and death of others, she could not pretend not to know and not take action.
"We can arrive at Desert Villa before dawn." Yi Xiaoyao said and breathed a long sigh of relief. But he understood that it seemed that it was still very early for this matter to end.
"No, you go back to Desert Villa and pick up Qingyu and Momo. I'll go directly to Yong'an Pass." Yuchi Pingting's tone was very firm: "We have no time to waste, we must seize the time."
"Boss, let me go. You've been working too hard these days."
"No, I'm the only one going there. They may not believe you as a commoner. At least I'm a princess, so they won't be rude."
When they reached a fork in the road, Yi Xiaoyao said: "Boss, you have to be careful. I will pick up Mo Mo and Qing Yu and find you in time."
Yuchi Pingting did not speak, but smiled confidently at Yi Xiaoyao, then turned the horse's head and galloped away in the direction of Yong'an Pass.
Yi Xiaoyao rushed back to the Desert Villa overnight. After entering the town a few steps, he heard the sound of fighting. Yi Xiaoyao followed the sound and saw two strong men fighting with a woman.
The woman moved freely and freely with a soft whip. The two men, one wielding a sword and the other wielding an axe, seemed to be having a hard time facing this woman.
But Yi Xiaoyao secretly screamed, because this woman was none other than Feng Qingyu. Without thinking, Yi Xiaoyao drew out the long sword from his waist and got involved in the fight. Yi Xiaoyao swung his sword a few times, and then the fight ended.
People who were together separated.
"What happened?" Yi Xiaoyao asked Feng Qingyu.
Before Feng Qingyu could speak, Mo Mo came out from nowhere, hugged Yi Xiaoyao's leg and said, "Uncle Xiaoyao, these bad guys stole Xiaobai." Mo Mo looked like he was crying with runny nose and tears.
Very sad.
"Is there such a thing?" Yi Xiaoyao frowned. He knew that a snow mastiff, a spiritual beast like Xiaobai, would be a priceless treasure when it came to this place, but he never expected that this would happen so soon.
Something happened.
"Hey, it was our brothers who stole it. We have admitted it, but I told you that we have already taken action. Otherwise, we will give you the money from the sale and don't bother us anymore." The older of the two men said.
. He knew very well that if the two brothers continued to fight Feng Qingyu, they would not be her opponent at all. What's more, if Yi Xiaoyao came again, he could separate them with just a few swords, which showed that his martial arts skills were even more important than this woman's.
Above, their brothers are absolutely incapable of dealing with it, and no one in this desert villa will help them, because everyone here is the same, cleaning up their own troubles, and as long as the matter does not concern themselves, no one will stand up for others.
.
"I don't want money, I want Xiaobai." Mo Mo cried and made a fuss.
"Humph, I also said that as long as you are willing to travel with me to find the buyer, my aunt will spare your life." Feng Qingyu also said sternly.
"We really can't say this, eldest sister. Once we say it, we won't be able to get away with it," said the young man.
"Hmph, since you can't survive anyway, then just go die." Yi Xiaoyao said as his sword was unsheathed, and the sword shot straight at the older man like a ray of cold light.
"Heroes show mercy!" the young man shouted quickly, and immediately his knees weakened and he knelt down.
When he looked again, the tip of Yi Xiaoyao's sword was already pressed against the older man's throat. Yi Xiaoyao said coldly: "Do you have any last words?"
"It doesn't matter, who makes us inferior in skills? After telling you this today, our brothers will leave here and stop doing this rooster and dog stealing thing." The young man said.
"Who is the buyer?" Yi Xiaoyao asked sharply.
"The buyers are the Qiang people who came here a few days ago."
"In which direction did they go?"
"Hero, hero, we really don't know this. Please be merciful, hero."
"Don't believe what they say. Keeping such people will be a disaster." Feng Qingyu said.
Yi Xiaoyao raised his eyes and looked at the older man who had the tip of the sword pressed against his throat. His gaze was like a sharp sword. The man actually felt an invisible pressure and still trembled and said: "Heroes, we, really, really
I don’t know where they went.”
The sword in Yi Xiaoyao's hand suddenly turned around and was sheathed.
"Go back to the inn first." Yi Xiaoyao said in Feng Qingyu's ear, then picked up Mo Mo and walked towards Desert Flying Eagle Inn.
"Where's the boss?" Feng Qingyu asked.
"Hurry up and pack your things. Let's go to Yong'an Pass. The boss is waiting for us there. I'm explaining to you on the way. We really don't have time now." Yi Xiaoyao said urgently.
"Uncle Xiaoyao, what should Xiaobai do?" Mo Mo asked, stroking his tears with the back of his hand.
"Mo Mo is good, Xiaobai is a spiritual beast. Those people will not hurt it. We will definitely find Xiaobai." Yi Xiaoyao said this, just to coax Mo Mo. As for whether the snow mastiff can be found, Yi Xiaoyao really
He was not sure. He knew that spiritual beasts like Xiaobai were regarded as treasures, not to mention that they were bought by those Qiang people. It was really hard to say where they would go back.
Yi Xiaoyao and Feng Qingyu packed up their few luggage, and when they were holding Mo Mo in their arms and preparing to leave, Lan Ning'er suddenly came over and pulled Yi Xiaoyao's sleeves. Feng Qingyu found that she seemed to be like this for the first time in these days.
Shyness and one thing.
"Brother Xiaoyao, will you come back to Desert Villa in the future?" Lan Ning'er asked, but two red clouds were already flying on her face.
"Maybe... it will come..." Yi Xiaoyao always boasted that he was good at chatting up girls, but he didn't expect that this time he would be a little embarrassed in front of the girl.
"Hehe, you said it." Lan Ning'er ran away with a smile, then suddenly stopped and turned back to Yi Xiaoyao and said, "Those Qiang people are heading towards Yong'an Pass."
Yi Xiaoyao shook his head helplessly, smiled bitterly, got on his horse and rushed to Yong'an Pass with Hefeng Qingyu in his arms.
Yuchi Pingting did not dare to rest all the way, so she drove faster and reached Beiwu Mountain. As long as she passed Beiwu Mountain and traveled westward for half an hour, she would reach Yong'an Pass. She was thinking that she could finally reach Yong'an Pass before dawn.
I hope I can successfully convince the border guard.
At this moment, Yuchi Pingting heard the sound of swords clashing in the forest. She thought it was those reckless people fighting something.
Yuchi Pingting had no time to care about this. Wherever there were people, there would be fights, and there would always be casualties. What she had to do now was to save most of the people who died in vain, so she ignored the fight in the forest.
But just after walking a few steps, a sudden and earth-shattering roar of a tiger rang out. In an instant, the whole night seemed even weirder.
But Yuchi Pingting was surprised that the tiger's roar sounded so much like Xiaobai's. She immediately reined in the horse, and when she listened again, there was no sound except the fight between swords and some inaudible words.
Yuchi Pingting's curiosity was completely aroused, and she immediately turned her horse's head to see what this big guy who could make the same sound as Xiaobai was.
Riding her horse in the forest, the wind roared in her ears, but Yuchi Pingting looked fearless. While carefully listening to the direction of the sound, she carefully guarded her surroundings. Over the years, she has developed this habit
The habit of being cautious.
Vaguely seeing the light of fire flickering in an open space in the forest, Yuchi Pingting immediately dismounted and tied the horse to a tree next to her, then started to use Qinggong and stepped forward to meet him.
Gradually, as we got closer, we saw about a dozen people surrounding a large circle. Inside the circle, a man with a bare upper body and a man in white were fighting. The white figure was as light as a swallow, and it was light and agile.
That man was playing around.
Yuchi Pingting thought it was a little funny, but when she took a closer look, weren't these the same group of Qiang people she met at the Desert Flying Eagle Inn? Yuchi Pingting looked around again and saw a large car pulled by four horses.
There was an iron cage on the car, and there was a snow mastiff inside. Its pure white fur shone in the moonlight. Yuchi Pingting was startled. Is this Xiaobai? So what happened to Feng Qingyu and Mo Mo?
Like?
Yuchi Pingting couldn't calm down anymore. She looked into the circle again and saw that the big man had been knocked down, and now two more men stood up to deal with the man in white.
Yuchi Pingting couldn't see the man's face clearly, but she felt that he was very familiar. The figure and the footwork made her feel like she had seen him before somewhere.
I saw that the white figure's movements were getting slower and slower, and he was far less agile than before. This man seemed to have been injured on his leg. It could be seen that his chassis always showed flaws, and he relied on his agility to save the day several times.
.
Suddenly, the man was hit by a knife, and the sleeves on his arms were instantly soaked in bright red. The Qiang people waved the torches in their hands and cheered. It was when several torches passed by that Yuchi Pingting could see clearly.
, that man has such a beautiful face.
I saw that man's face was clear-cut, resolute and handsome, but he looked a little pale at this moment, and his black eyes were as shining as the stars at night, but at this moment they were full of murderous intent.
Yuchi Pingting's heart beat rapidly with excitement. This man was none other than the person she was looking for on this trip, Nangong Feiran.
Seeing that Nangong Feiran was losing ground under the attack of the two men, the man behind him stabbed Nangong Feiran's vest with his sword. Nangong Feiran had already been seriously injured and his vitality was severely damaged. Now he looked even more exhausted under the fierce battle between these people.
, seeing that a sword was about to pierce through the back of his heart.
Suddenly, a sharp sound cut through the sky and came straight towards Nangong Feiran. Just when the tip of the sword behind him came into contact with Nangong Feiran's clothes, it responded to the sound. The sword holder felt that the tiger's mouth was shaking, numb and numb.
It was so painful that I couldn't even hold the sword steady, and it fell to the ground with a clang.
Everyone instantly turned around and looked in the direction of Yuchi Pingting, but saw nothing.
"Master He Fang, since you are here, please stand up and speak. Why hide and hurt others in secret?" said a man of medium build and leader among the Qiang people.
"Hmph, you can bully the minority by bullying the minority, fight on wheels, and other despicable and shameless methods, and yet you dare to accuse others of stabbing others in the back?" The cold voice made this southern barbarian winter night even more mysterious.
The Qiang people were a little frightened when they heard that the voice turned out to be a woman, but Nangong Feiran was overjoyed when he heard the voice.
I saw a woman walking out from behind the dark tree shadows. Her soft figure was in sharp contrast with her sharp eyes. Immediately, the snow mastiff locked in the iron cage began to sing loudly again.
The Qiang people were also a little surprised when they saw Yuchi Pingting. Isn't this the woman in the Flying Eagle Inn in the Desert? The leader thought, looking at the hand she showed just now, her martial arts skills are definitely not inferior to his, but it seems that she seems
There is only one person, there are more than a dozen of us here, so there should be no problem.
"Hey, we have no enmity with you, so why would you hurt anyone?" the leader said. He seemed to have forgotten that the snow mastiff he bought belonged to this woman's beloved son.
"No grievances or grudges? That's easy for you to say. Why is my son's beloved pet here with you? Also, you guys are tired of living if you dare to hit my man." Yuchi Pingting said coldly, letting everyone present know.
Everyone couldn't help but shudder, but Nangong Feiran had a black line all over his head. Her man? Hehe, that's right. Yuchi Pingting didn't see a smirk flash across Nangong Feiran's lips.
"You, your man?" The leader couldn't help but be surprised. He originally thought that he could explain to her that the Snow Mastiff was captured by them separately, but this man couldn't be said to be someone they found separately. However, considering that he had more people, he was more powerful.
Everyone, he said with a strong tone: "Huh, if you just see a wild man, is it your man? If you are deliberately looking for trouble, just say that we are all your men." The leader said lewdly, attracting the rest of his men.
of laughter.
Hearing the other party say such words, Yuchi Pingting was not angry, but she made a decision in her heart on how to deal with them. However, Nangong Feiran was furious after hearing what the leader said, and waved his sword and said: "Be careful what you say, don't wait.
I cut off your tongue and fed it to the dogs and you didn’t know why.” His voice was not loud, but it was full of shock.
"I said, a dying man and a delicate beauty, what do you want to do with us?" The leader did not hold back, and turned to Yuchi Pingting and said: "Beauty, it is better to be my woman.
Haha, I haven’t enjoyed Daliang’s woman for a long time.” He said with a lewd expression.
"Looking for death." Yuchi Pingting whispered, and at the same time, he waved his hand, and several leaves came out in response.
