The two soldiers jumped off their horses and immediately ran to General Li to report: "The general manager divided his troops into two groups. One group went to cut off the road to the Western Turks, and the other group returned to the King's City of Qiuci. We will arrive early tomorrow morning..."

Keke relayed it to Manbao.

Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief and ran to find Bai Shan.

Bai Shan was standing at the window looking at the street below. When he heard the movement, he turned to look at her. He smiled slightly and asked, "Is there any news?"

Man Bao nodded sternly and smiled at him with narrowed eyes.

Bai Shan knew it, and he smiled slightly, without asking for specific information, and stretched out his hand to her.

Man Bao put his hand on his, and the two looked side by side at the street below the inn.

Although they had just experienced the war, the streets were now lively again, and there were many small stalls selling various kinds of food under the inn.

It's a pity that they can't go out, otherwise it would be good to have a taste.

There may be another war here tomorrow.

Early the next morning, officials from Qiuci brought several medicinal merchants to see Zhou Man. They brought some medicinal materials, including those listed on Manbao's list, as well as other medicinal materials.

As soon as he came in, the official glanced at the servant waiting in the inn calmly. When he saw him shaking his head slightly, he knew that Bai Shan and the others were quite honest last night and did not do anything unnecessary.

The official smiled and introduced the medicinal material dealers he brought to Zhou Man, and then stood aside to watch them identify the medicinal materials and bargain for prices.

All Man Bao wanted were good medicines for replenishing blood and qi. Basically, she wanted all the medicinal materials brought by the medicine dealers and paid back the price. As for the other medicines, Man Bao thought about the situation of the medicinal materials in the camp.

, I picked some and bought some, and at the same time asked to see some other medicinal materials.

After just a selection and a counter-offer, the group stayed until noon.

Keke said: "The army set up an ambush at another city gate, and General Meng led the soldiers and horses in your camp towards the city gate here."

This was about to be a flanking attack. Man Bao lowered his eyes, picked out two medicinal materials from a pile of herbs, placed them on the table to the west and north, and asked Bai Shan with a smile, "These are the white and agrimony used to stop bleeding."

, I remember that we have agrimony in the army, but there is not much left, do you think I should buy more agrimony or some agrimony?"

Bai Shan lowered his eyes and looked at the position of the two medicinal materials on the table, paused and said: "Agrimony is good, but since we have it in the army, let's buy some Baiji."

Man Bao nodded, turned to the medicinal merchant who could provide Baiji, and said, "Bring us a load."

Bai Shan took out his money bag, poured out an ingot of gold, and asked the merchants to divide the money and give him the rest in change.

When the merchants saw this ingot of gold, they wanted to recommend some other medicines, but they had already spent most of it. They might as well just spend all the gold, and what's the point of asking for more money?

Bai Shanque laughed with the officials and said, "Your medicinal materials are too expensive now. When the general enters the city, please ask the king to be kind and let the soldiers in the army buy some cheap medicinal materials. In the last battle, many soldiers in our army were injured."

.”

They recaptured the royal city in the last battle at the city gate. This was a proud battle for Qiuchi, so the official was very proud. He smiled and said, "When General Guo comes in, your Majesty will receive preferential treatment."

Bai Shan glanced at Man Bao and then smiled and said: "In this case, even if it is for the sake of the generals, we should go back quickly to complete this matter."

Bai Shan took the opportunity to say goodbye to the officials and proposed to leave through the west gate.

He explained: "You also know that many officers and soldiers in the army are soldiers from the Central Plains, and they all want to return to their hometowns. Therefore, General Guo only discussed this move with several generals in the army. In order to prevent the army from

Chaos, when you send troops to formally take over, it is not appropriate to publicize this matter."

"On the day we came here, General Guo changed the people at the checkpoint and found other excuses to leave the camp. At this time, it was difficult to leave through the North City Gate, otherwise the soldiers guarding the checkpoint would not be able to explain."

The official frowned slightly, "But I want to follow you back to the camp to see General Guo. Do we have to do it secretly?"

Bai Shan said quickly: "That's not the case, as long as the envoy changes into Han clothes, then you can follow us directly into the camp to meet General Guo. As long as the surrender has been discussed, we will find an opportunity to collect the soldiers' weapons.

Then bring them back. Then the king's army can take over directly, even if there are some soldiers who don't obey orders, they can quickly capture them." Seeing that Bai Shan was thoughtful and reasonable, the other party thought for a moment and nodded, "

But it’s a bit far to leave the city from the West Gate and then walk back to the North City.”

Bai Shan smiled and said: "Although it is far away, if we leave the city now and speed up on the road, we can arrive before sunset. Moreover, the army is eating at that time and it is getting dark, so fewer people will notice us."

"

The official couldn't help but smile and said: "Master Bai is really thoughtful, he even thought of this."

I suspect they had planned this route and reason early in the morning.

Bai Shan smiled at him sheepishly, "It's a secret, it's always good to be careful."

The official had no objection, but still reported the matter to the king.

The soldiers quickly went to report and came back, and King Qiuci agreed.

When Bai Shan and his group escorted a car to the west city gate, General Bali sat on his horse and looked at them from a distance. He sneered, turned around and said to his confidants: "King Qiuci has no blood. He was killed by Guo Xiao."

After being surrounded for so many days, he actually accepted the enemy's surrender as soon as it surrendered."

"General, shall we go back?"

"No," he said, "Qiuci has not given us enough grain, grass, gold and silver. Since he doesn't want us to send troops, he will give us the grain, grass, gold and silver he originally promised before leaving."

"What if they never give it?"

Baali sneered: "If he doesn't give it to us, he will take it for himself."

As he spoke, his eyes scanned the stalls on the street and the shops behind them. Manbao rode beside Bai Shan and said, "Your camp has put up the big flag you mentioned."

Manbao then looked at Bai Shan and said, "I want to eat the big cake in the tent."

Erge, who was riding a horse and walking not far away, couldn't help but look up at her. This was agreed upon before leaving the camp. Once Zhou Man said this, the army would return to attack the city in two quarters of an hour.

He couldn't help but walk around and found nothing unusual, but there seemed to be abnormalities everywhere.

So where did Zhou Man get the information?

No matter where they came from, everyone who heard this sentence stiffened their backs, sat up slightly, and seemed to continue walking forward without any abnormality, but their hands touched the knife handle from time to time to confirm that their knife was hanging on their waist.

.

Only Bai Shan smiled and replied to her, "I'll eat it when I get home."

The two stopped talking, but looking at the West City Gate in the distance, they slowed down their speed, which inadvertently slowed down the convoy. Man Bao even pointed to a cake on a stall and said: "Although you can eat it when you go back,

But I still want to try Kucha’s meatloaf.”
