Jiang Xiaolan quickly took a few steps back, and glanced at the three of them vigilantly: "You...why are you looking at me like this? Let's talk about it first, I...I don't do this. I will go wherever the elder sister goes! And don't think I'm useless, with me here, I'll definitely be of great help in the future!"

Li Quan and Yan Yue's eyes were on the ground, and they patted Jiang Xiaolan's shoulder: "Sister Xiaolan, although we bickered at first, but in good conscience, when your eldest sister is not around, will I treat you well?"

"Okay! Of course! Can't you see that people are already very polite to you? That's why I want to stay and help you!"

"Since you want to help, it is the most important task now. If you help me deliver the letter, you will help me solve a big problem!"

Jiang Xiaolan pouted: "Don't coax me, don't you just send a message? What kind of important task is this?"

Li Quan's face was 'colored', and he said seriously: "This is not a major task? Then I don't even know what is a major task! Do you know the relationship between it? This message can be related to when the court Being able to receive the news is related to the fate of the entire Daqing, and there is no more important task in the world! As long as you complete it, you will not only help me, but you may even record Jiang Xiaolan's name in the history books in the future!"

Jiang Xiaolan was so bluffed by Li Quan, her expression immediately became serious: "Really...is it really so powerful?"

"Of course!"

Jiang Xiaolan waved her fist excitedly: "Okay! That's great! Just 'leave' this matter to me!"

After persuading Jiang Xiaolan, Li Quan told her the content of the message in detail. It took two hours to finally get Jiang Xiaolan to memorize it verbatim, and finally let her go to Bizhou with confidence.

Now, the sky is completely dark, and the wind in Bizhou is milder than that in Yizhou, and it doesn't feel cold.The three of them changed direction again in the night, and approached the mountains from the path.

The trail Jiang Yingnan mentioned was actually the road leading to Zang Fengshan when he was chasing bandits in Bixi Village.First arrived at Zang Fengshan, then to Jiang Yingnan's current cottage, and finally to the border garrison.This trip was a long process, which took more than ten days, and the journey was extremely slow, but this way, it could be hidden from all the eyeliners of the White Lotus Sect.

The three of them traveled all the way, because all the bandits in the mountains went to guard the pass, and there was no movement in the mountains except wild animals, and it was terribly deserted.

After finally returning to Jiang Yingnan's cottage, the cottage is still empty, and the things left inside have not changed. Obviously, Yu Meng has never been there.

Seeing this situation, Li Quan was even more worried, and almost did not take a rest, and the three of them forgot to go to the border garrison.

Two days later, the three of them returned to Yizhou, where the sky was full of yellow sand.

It was noon, the sun was scorching, sand and rocks were flying, and only sporadic vultures were circling in the sky.

Vultures are not a product of Daqing and Dahua. They come from the Western Regions, so they are not common in Yizhou.Li Quan saw them after the White Lotus Sect attacked the hills. At that time, they were eating the corpses of soldiers. The miserable scene was still fresh in his memory.

However, seeing them so close to Bizhou made Li Quan feel a little abnormal.

The wind was blowing fiercely, and there were all kinds of smells in it, and the smell of blood was extremely strong!

Although it had been determined for a long time that the war was over, everyone couldn't help trembling the moment they smelled the smell of blood.

The three of them looked at each other and continued walking towards Hilly City without saying much.

There is still half a day to a day's journey to go. As the three of them approached continuously, the bloody smell in the wind became more and more obvious, and there were more and more vultures in the air and even on the ground. This weird atmosphere was so oppressive that I didn't want to speak.

At night, the wind suddenly stopped, and under the moonlight, the shadow of Hill City finally appeared at the end of the field of vision.

Li Quan excitedly quickened his pace. At this moment, Li Quan tripped over something and nearly fell.Upon closer inspection, it was the corpse of a member of the White Lotus Sect!

The yellow sand was about to bury him, only one corner of his white clothes was exposed, and the blood was nowhere to be found, and what was even more frightening was that his entire abdominal cavity had been hollowed out, presumably by vultures, The 'meat' in other parts of the body did not rot, but was blown dry under the scorching hot weather and the manic wind and sand, like a piece of dehydrated cured 'meat', as hard as a stone!

To be honest, such a corpse is not too scary, but if you find such corpses in all directions, it is not something ordinary people can bear!

.

Chapter 690: Responsibility

The wind stopped, but there was still very fine dust floating in the air, making his vision hazy. -

In the distance, the vague shadow of the hilly city is like a lonely watcher quietly motionless, low and depressed.

The yellow sand fell and put new clothes on the corpses all over the ground, reducing the desolation a little bit.

Since Li Quan discovered the first corpse, more and more corpses appeared in the eyes of the three.If you look around, you can still find corpses everywhere in the night, partly covered by yellow sand. It is conceivable that if it is not at night and there is not so much yellow sand to cover up, what will appear in the eyes of the three people is What a situation.

Everyone felt a "thump" in their hearts, unable to estimate what kind of battle took place here, let alone imagine how many such corpses were buried in the yellow sand.

Li Quan and the others didn't want to look at it, so they hurriedly quickened their pace, and at the same time, they were more cautious, approaching Qiuling City step by step.

I don't know if it was late at night, but I didn't see soldiers cleaning up the battlefield all the way, or maybe I didn't plan to clean up the battlefield.There are too many soldiers who died here, and the climate and environment here will not allow the corpses to rot, so it is very likely that these corpses will be abandoned here and let them perish on their own.

Now, the most important question is who is in the hands of Hill City at this time?

If they were still under the control of the border guards, there would be no problem for the three of Li Quan to get so close. However, if Qiuling City was already under the control of the White Lotus Sect, if they approached so rashly, once they were discovered, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Li Quan didn't have much hope for the border guards. After all, the White Lotus Sect had a huge advantage in numbers, and there was also a holy queen with unfathomable strength. The [-] soldiers in Hill City should be in danger.

As they approached little by little, the appearance of Hilly City became clearer and clearer, and the smell of blood in the air reached its peak.The ground was full of corpses, there was no room for the three of them to settle down, and they had to step over the corpses every step of the way.

However, Li Quan's eyes were quickly attracted by the flags on the city wall.

"Celebrate"!

Hanging is the flag of Daqing!Could it be that this place is still under Wei Zhong's control?

Li Quan thought about it, and felt that no one would make fun of the flag, so there should be nothing wrong with it.But just to be on the safe side, Wang Sanma volunteered and decided to check the situation first.

After a while, Wang Sanma went back and forth, and excitedly told Li Quan that what he thought was right, that Hill City was indeed defended!

Along the way, Li Quan was already exhausted. Hearing such news, as if he had been splashed with cold water, he lifted his spirits and waved his fist excitedly!

"Great! Go over there!"

……

……

Li Quan calmly analyzed in his heart that the chance of Qiu Ling's defense is very slim, and he subconsciously came here to take a look to confirm.According to his plan, after coming here to confirm that all [-] soldiers were killed in battle, he would immediately return to the capital and report the matter to the imperial court.But I never expected that when I returned to the hills, I found that the hills city was still under the control of the border guards!

Li Quan's plan is 'chaotic', but Li Quan would rather be more 'chaotic', as long as there are people alive!

Entering Hill City, Wei Zhong came out to greet him with a group of generals.

In the city, the flames flickered and flickered, and the flames suddenly became larger and sometimes unstable, as if the tyrannical atmosphere in the air had not yet dissipated.The flames shone on everyone's faces, with a murderous look, and no joy after victory could be seen in their eyes.Instead, everyone was 'gloomy', apparently still recovering from the Great War.

Behind the gloomy expression, it can be seen that everyone is jealous and weak, as if they don't even bother to say a word.When Wei Zhong saw Li Quan, he just bowed his hand slightly.

The generals who greeted Li Quan also included Yu Meng. His right shoulder was wrapped with a bandage, but his spirit was not bad, so he took the initiative to return to Li Quan's team.Wang Sanma whispered behind him about Yu Meng's situation, while Li Quan was going to ask Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong waved his hand: "Governor, it's getting late today, and our soldiers still need to rest well. What's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow? Besides, General Yu'meng knows many things. If the Governor has any questions, ask him That's right."

Li Quan saw the deep tiredness in Wei Zhong's eyes, and nodded understandingly.

After returning to their tents to rest, Li Quan and others inquired about the battle situation in a hut.

From Yumeng's mouth, I learned that the battle with the White Lotus Sect was surprisingly fierce. The battle lasted for three days and three nights. The White Lotus Sect continued to attack like crazy. If the soldiers in the city resisted with the determination to die, Hill City has long been captured.Now, there are more than [-] soldiers left among the [-] soldiers. When everyone made up their minds and decided to fight to the death, the White Lotus Sect suddenly withdrew.

As for why the White Lotus Sect retreated suddenly, no one knew, nor did they know how much the White Lotus Sect lost in this battle.
