Chapter 85: The Troops Arrive, One Move To Kill (Part 1)
Xiao Bi's meticulous and considerate treatment of Miss Xing gave Huan Yu a new understanding of her.
It turns out that Xiaojiu takes care of her children very well. If she becomes a mother in the future...
Xiao Bi pushed him gently: "What are you thinking about?"
Huan Yu smiled: "I didn't think about anything, I just think Miss Xing is quite well-behaved."
"You don't know, this little girl's little head is so stupid..."
She gave a brief description of Miss Xing's performance, and then said: "If her father had to educate her carefully for a few more years, she might not be very good."
"With her smart mind and her experiences since childhood, it's no wonder she has such a delicate mind at such a young age."
Xiao Bi was still thinking about the smoke and fire that filled the city.
"How many fires did you set tonight? I looked at the sky in Liuyun Capital and it was burning red."
Huan Yu saw the excitement on her face, and his emotions were aroused.
“All the large-scale fodder yards and fodder warehouses inside and outside the city have been set on fire.
This winter and next spring, the cattle, sheep and horses near Liuyun Capital may be hungry."
"It's summer now, and the pastures are rich in water and grass. You won't starve to death, right?"
"The amount of grass in the pasture is also limited. If you eat more, there will naturally be less left.
It is simply impossible to restore the previous reserves, not to mention that they may not be able to mobilize so many manpower and material resources.
In this way, if Liuyun Kingdom’s army still has the ability to harass the Wei border, we can have a good rest.”
Xiao Bi pouted and said: "I still hope that after marrying you, I can fight a few good battles with the Liuyun Kingdom's army!"
Huan Yu joked: "If I had known earlier, I would have left a few fodder yards for them to save you from boredom."
Not only Xiao Bi, but everyone else was also amused.
No wonder some people say that a man who marries a daughter-in-law will undergo great changes.
It is really refreshing that the second young master with a cold personality loves his wife.
While they were talking, Qi Mei, who was in charge of cutting off the rear, also arrived.
He turned over and dismounted, adjusted his breathing and then said: "Second Young Master, Princess, we have to set off quickly. We must pass Zambi City before dawn."
Huan Yu frowned and said, "How quickly did Moton's people discover that Ji Keqing's token was stolen?"
Qi Mei shook his head: "That's not true. It was Liang Jun, the old man, who seemed to have received some news. He set the fire all over the city and did not go to save it. Instead, he was busy mobilizing troops and generals.
When his subordinates left the city, his people were having a dispute with General Merton's people.
Although Moton is powerful, Liang Jun is the military marshal of Liuyun Kingdom after all..."
"How far is it from Zambi City?" Xiao Bi asked.
Huan Yu said: "It takes about an hour to ride a fast horse, and I'm afraid there will be a delay at night, but we should be able to arrive before dawn.
The defender of Zambi City is also a direct descendant of General Merton, so the pig head token should work."
Xiao Bi picked up Miss Xing and said, "Then let's leave quickly. If we are too late, we will be in more danger."
Everyone mounted their horses and headed north under the moonlight.
Zambi City is just a small town, only a quarter of the size of Tata City.
The guard general had already gone home to rest, and the soldiers guarding the city checked the tokens and let him go immediately.
After leaving Zambi City, the sky was already bright. Tianluo Mountain, which stretches thousands of miles, formed a pass here, and the terrain was relatively gentle.
Qi Mei said: "Second Young Master, if you abandon your horse and walk on foot, it only takes two days to cross Tianluo Mountain and reach the border between the two countries."
Huan Yu thought for a while: "Let's divide into three teams according to the previous plan. The first team will follow Xiaojiu and I into the mountains; the second team will continue walking north with Qimei; and the third team will take a detour to Tata City with Brother Aliang.
, try to confuse the enemy's sight.
Everyone, please be careful and we will return to Tianshui County Camp in half a month."
Everyone had no objections and acted independently.
In addition to Miss Xing, there are five other people in the team of Xiao Bi and Huan Yu, and all of them have excellent minds and skills.
The seven men took turns carrying Miss Xing on their backs. When they were thirsty, they drank from mountain springs and ate wild fruits. When they were hungry, they ate the prey in the mountains.
In only a day and a half, they climbed over many mountains.
Xiao Bi wiped the sweat from her forehead and pointed to a small river at the foot of the mountain: "Brother Huan, I have seen the map of Wuwei County in my grandfather's study. This should be the border, right?"
"Exactly." Huan Yu nodded and handed her the water bag: "Let's take a rest here."
Xiao Bi opened the cork and put the water bag to Miss Xing's mouth: "Xingxing, drink some water to moisten your throat."
Although Miss Xing is not a pampered noble girl, she has not traveled far since she was a child.
She had barely walked in the past two days. She was always being carried by others, and she was still very tired.
His little face was a little chapped, and his whole person looked a little weak.
She held the water bag with her little hands and took a few sips, then shook her head to express that she didn't want to drink anymore.
Xiao Bi probed her forehead and then touched her own.
Huan Yu said: "Xingxing is sick?"
"I don't think so. It feels almost the same as me."
Huan Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Miss Xing was young and a little delicate. She took a dip in cold water that night in the palace, so she would be in trouble if she got sick.
He called two scouts and ordered them to explore the way.
Not long after, one of them came back.
Seeing his serious expression, Huan Yu raised his eyebrows: "Are there any pursuers?"
The man nodded: "About twenty people are ambushing near the border."
Xiao Bi drank all the water in the water bag in one breath and sneered: "Liang Jun's hands and feet are really fast. I guess he set ambushes at all the passes on the border between the two countries.
There are more than 20 people, and he really doesn’t take me seriously!"
Not long after, another scout came back.
In addition to reporting an ambush near the border, he also discovered that other troops were gathering here.
Huan Yu said: "It seems we must make a quick decision!"
Xiao Bi stretched out her hand towards a scout: "Give me your bow and arrows."
The scout quickly took off his bow and handed it to her, then untied his quiver of arrows.
There were only eight arrows in the quiver, which Xiao Bi felt a little dissatisfied with.
The other scouts hurriedly offered all the arrows in their quivers.
Xiao Bi clicked, there were twenty-eight in total.
She divided the arrows in half and gave them to Huan Yu: "Let's have a try and see who can shoot more."
Huan Yu smiled, picked up an arrow, put it on his bow, and shot an arrow in the direction pointed by the scout.
With a scream, a Liuyun soldier hiding in the darkness appeared and fell into the river.
Seeing that their ambush had been exposed, the others became nervous and inevitably exposed Xingzang.
Not to be outdone, they also took out their bows and arrows.
Xiao Bi and others were condescending and saw their behavior clearly.
They did not allow each other's arrows to hit the mountain. Their arrows were like shooting stars, and none of them missed.
The river was soon filled with people who had been shot by arrows.
The remaining people didn't dare to fight anymore and ran away one after another.
