"I want to ask you to help me."

"Why should I help you?" Xiao Chengyan was even more puzzled.Asking for help is so straightforward.

"Because I have evidence of your elder brother's adultery and betrayal."

Xiao Chengyan felt bad when he heard that.But pretending not to believe it.

"Why? Don't you believe me?" The woman took out the envelope from her pocket. "This is a secret document between him, my brother, and the prince."

Xiao Chengyan quickly reached out to grab it.If this thing leaks out, then the eldest brother will surely die.How can I be worthy of my father?But Xiao Chengheng is really such a traitor. "Okay, what do you want me to help you with? Tell me."

"Help me rescue the emperor. Push the crown prince down. My emperor is willing to bow down to Jin." Wei Li also became serious.

"Now I can wipe out Wei Guo in one fell swoop. You are not qualified to negotiate this condition with me." Xiao Chengyan also frowned and said.

"I still have important secrets. If you don't listen, I will leave." Wei Li put his hands behind his back.I'm not sure if I can get out alive.But this time only by taking risks can the emperor be rescued.

"Princess, please." Xiao Chengyan turned around not to look at her.The purpose of this princess is unclear.Can't be trusted.

"I will come to you again." Wei Li took a deep look at Xiao Chengyan.Get out of the tent.I was still a little nervous.

next morning

This time it is to lead the army to Qigu.Surrounded An County.Xiao Chengyan led an army of [-] in the canyon.

Xiao Chengyan on horseback showed joy.This time it was a success.Then the class teacher will return to court.We parted with Luoer for another year.During this period, I also sent several letters home.But I couldn't resist the thoughts in my heart.

"Coax~coax~coax" While meditating, she was pulled back to her thoughts by bursts of loud noises.Looking up, one by one boulders have been hit by raindrops.My heart sank, and the joy just now had disappeared. "There is an ambush, withdraw. Quickly withdraw." Shouted to the rear with the loudest voice.

"My lord, I can't withdraw. There is Wei's army in the rear." A soldier came to report.The rolling stone above is still rolling down continuously.Hit the soldier who was reporting.

Xiao Chengyan frowned. "Quick, rush up. Along the edge." Watching the soldiers being hit by rolling stones one by one, there was nothing he could do.Xiao Chengyan clenched his fists tightly.Turn around and take the lead in rushing up the road.

"My lord, there is a cave ahead." Zhang Huai had sharp eyes.Pointing to the front.

"Go, go into the cave." Xiao Chengyan jumped off the horse and led the horse to the cave.Because the higher you go, the more snow is covered.It is even more difficult to move behind.But the footsteps never stopped.

When he arrived at the cave, Xiao Chengyan's robe was already soaked.The cold armor was attached to his body, and the chill hit him. "Zhang Huai...see how many people are left?" He asked weakly with his back behind him.This time the whereabouts are tight.Only myself, Wen Renhao and Xiao Chengheng know.Recalling what Wei Li said yesterday.Only then did it suddenly dawn on me that I had tried everything I could to help you destroy the evidence.You want to kill me.

"My lord, there are less than a hundred people." Zhang Huai whispered more and more.

I didn't expect that.If he had stopped Wen Renhao back then, he would not have ended up in such a situation.The state of Wei did not cost a single soldier.Just wiped himself out.Then sighed.The cold hit, and the legs and feet were even more numb.Looking at the remaining soldiers, they all curled up and trembled. "Zhang Huai, bring a few brothers with you. Find dry wood in the cave... light a fire, or we won't survive tonight." It's all because of me, and more than [-] people were buried with me for my carelessness.Unlimited guilt and self-blame.

"Yes." After a while, Zhang Huai searched the cave and found a few dry firewood.A fire was lit, and the soldiers scrambled to gather around the fire.

Xiao Chengyan frowned and stood at the entrance of the cave.The water on the robe fell drop by drop.The surrounding land was wet.The snow continued to fall outside until the evening.

"My lord, fourteen more brothers have died." Zhang Huai came to report again.

Xiao Chengyan's heart felt like being pricked by a needle.In the afternoon, news of death followed one after another.There were less than twenty soldiers left.If this continues, you will not be frozen to death, but you will also starve to death.

"Ow~" A wolf howled from behind.

Xiao Chengyan thought for a while, took the long sword on Zhang Huai's body, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and made a cut on the dead body.Blood flowed.Cover Fengli's sword body with blood.Put it outside the hole, wait for the blood to coagulate, then apply a second layer of blood, let the blood freeze,...and so on.Soon the blade was tightly wrapped in frozen blood lumps.

Then he stuck the blood-wrapped sword tip upside down in the snow and fixed it.Walk back to the cave.

"My lord, are you...?" Zhang Huai couldn't understand why.What are you doing here, my lord?

"With our current physical strength, there is no way to fight against wolves. But if this continues, we will all die, just wait." Xiao Chengyan looked quietly outside the cave entrance.

Zhang Huai nodded. "My lord, there is no way for us to go on like this."

Xiao Chengyan frowned.Think about it too. "Well, when the snow falls, you and I go out to look for reinforcements. Actually, where do we need reinforcements? Let's go out together. The country of Wei is probably still blocked in the rear. Let's go up. To the north of An County, Where did King Huaiyang bring [-] troops?" Slightly sighed.

Two hours later, the sky was already dark.Xiao Chengyan reckoned that it was almost time. "Zhang Huai, come with me."

Zhang Huai nodded hesitantly.followed.

The cold wind hangs on the cheeks like a knife.With the gun in his hand, he gritted his teeth and walked slowly step by step.Not far away, several wolves were faintly seen lying on the ground.Only then did he reveal a faint smile.At least it's saved, isn't it?

Back to the cave with the wolf on his back, Zhang asked suspiciously, "My lord, why did the wolf touch the knife by itself."

"When the wolves found the tip of the knife we ​​left behind following the smell of blood, they would excitedly lick the frozen blood on the knife. The melted blood gave off a smell. They would lick faster and harder. At this time, the wolves Already bloodthirsty, they lick the blade fiercely, and they don't feel the pain of their tongue being cut by the blade. They will only become more and more greedy, until they finally collapse on the snow from exhaustion." Xiao Chengyan said slowly.Isn't it the same with people?His own greed hurt himself.

"It's useless to talk about it." If this continues, more people may lose their lives. "Wolf skins to keep out the cold. Wolf meat to satisfy hunger."

"Yes, my lord."

At midnight, it was completely dark.Xiao Chengyan lay on the ground and slowly opened his eyes.Seeing the uniform breathing of the soldiers lying on the ground, he breathed a sigh of relief.Now there are only eight left.Scanned around.Why don't you see Zhang Huai?

There are no torches outside the cave.Xiao Chengyan looked suspiciously outside the cave, hesitated for a while, got up and walked out.

"Zhang Huai?" Xiao Chengyan took a closer look and saw Zhang Huai with his back turned to him.

Zhang Huai was taken aback when he heard the sound.Surprised speechless.It was obvious that no one was expected to be behind.Then he quickly hid the things in his hands behind his back, and smiled awkwardly, "My lord...Your lord...you, didn't you rest?"

Xiao Chengyan looked at his flustered look and frowned, "What are you doing here?"

"Wang... my lord, my little one... it's convenient..." Then he blushed.

When Xiao Chengyan heard it, he also turned his face away, turned around embarrassedly and left, "You..."

Seeing Zhang Huai, he breathed a sigh of relief.He stroked his chest with his hand.There were already layers of sweat on the back.
