As dusk draws near, Qi Xiao's Xun Ying has finally returned!

Baixi Bridge couldn't even stand at the moment, and kept circling around Qi Xiao: "How is it? Is Xu Zheng here?"

"Brother, don't turn around!" Qi Xiao stretched out his hand to grab Baixi Bridge, raised his arm, put the eagle on his forearm, opened the letterbox, glanced at Chi Yue's letter, and smiled, " The permit is not there."

Baixiqiao laughed loudly: "Let's break out of the camp now!"

"What's the hurry, wait overnight, and get out of camp when you are ugly."

When it is ugly, when the night is deepest, when it is coldest, when people are most sleepy, when Jialinguan is the quietest.

The wind and snow stopped in the middle of the night, as if God was helping Qi Xiao, but just after the wind and snow passed, it was getting colder and colder. It was impossible for them to light torches when they raided Jialin Pass at night, making people feel even colder, and the world was a little warmer None can be found.

Tang Ling fell to the last, except for Ye Huai and Qing Lan, Qi Xiao sent a team to protect him, and when they arrived at Jialin Pass, it was already settled, and Jialin Pass stood in the night, as if nothing had happened. Only the strong smell of blood in the air indicated the tragic battle that had just taken place here.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that the battle was a one-sided massacre, which happened silently. When the soldiers in Jialin Pass heard the sound and sat up from their dreams, the white blade was already in front of them. There was no chance of howling and screaming.

Tang Ling walked into Jialin Pass. This ancient pass was hidden at the foot of Fenglin Mountain and had suffered from wind, frost, rain and snow. The strong smell of blood made it even more dilapidated.

Tang Ling's feet were dark, sticky and squishy, ​​with warm blood on them.

Qi Xiao's 6000 people entered Jialin Pass and cleaned up the battlefield in an orderly manner. Sporadic fires were lit inside the pass, dyeing the cold night a little orange-red.

After winning the first battle after entering Qi, Tang Ling originally thought that the whole army would be excited and noisy for a while. Unexpectedly, Jialin Guanzhong was very calm and there was no passionate noise. After asking, she knew that Qi Xiao had a military order not to make noise , Don't relax, half of the people rest and half stay overnight, and none of them are allowed to remove their armor.

Tang Ling was taken to meet Qi Xiao, but the lobby was brightly lit.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a row of corpses on the ground, either wearing armor or only cotton-padded clothes. The armor should be a general of Jialin Pass, and Chi Yue was squatting next to one of the corpses, carefully observing the general's face .

"Is it cold? Drink some hot tea to warm up first."

When Qi Xiao saw Tang Ling coming in, he first poured him a cup of hot tea, went up and brought it in front of him.

Tang Ling couldn't help but smiled slightly, took the teacup, and took a sip: "I'm fine, how about you? Are you hurt?"

"These people can't hurt me yet."

Qi Xiao shook his head and asked again, "Are you tired? I have someone prepare a room for you, so go sleep for a while."

"No need, what were you talking about just now?" Before Tang Ling walked in, everyone except Chi Yue was gathered around the table, looking at the sheepskin map. There were four other people in the lobby, whom Tang Ling had never seen.

Before Tang Ling stepped forward again, two of the strange faces walked towards him first, and knelt down on one knee: "I've met you, sir."

Tang Ling immediately understood their identities, and turned her head slightly to look at Ye Huai who was behind her.

Ye Huai had already seen the two of them clearly, and nodded to Tang Ling.

Tang Ling from Xingluowei may not recognize him, but Ye Huai, the two people Xun Anhou sent to Jialin Pass to meet him, both know each other, so this side won't cause extra problems and cause other misunderstandings.

Tang Ling raised her hand to get them up, and looked at the two strangers standing behind Qi Xiao.

Since the people from Xingluowei were at Jialin Pass, the people from Xuanji Camp would naturally be there too.

Qi Xiao took Tang Ling's hand and brought it to the table, and said to one of them, "Yu Ran, repeat what you just said."

The two Xing Luowei watched as the prince of Chen Guo held Tang Ling, the eldest son of Marquis Xun'an, and the intimacy between the two could be seen from the moment Tang Ling entered the door. Everyone couldn't help being stunned, and after a moment of stunned, he immediately looked over at Ye Huai. Ye Huai didn't respond, as if he didn't care at all, and looked normal, which made the two of them even more uneasy.

The two people in Xuanji Camp were also stunned for a moment, but they soon recovered.

Yu Ran took a breath, and said, "Xu Zheng was recalled to Shuoliang a month ago, and he is not at Xingtian Pass at the moment. The guard of Xingtian Pass is called Chen He, who was brought out by Xu Zheng himself. He is brave and resourceful." Xu Zheng trusted him very much.

Five days ago, Chen He just sent someone to patrol the camp, and he will not come again within ten days.

When he comes again, there should be an order to switch defenses.

We still have time to rest. "

Tang Ling nodded and looked at Qi Xiao: "It's fine if Xu Zheng is not here."

Qi Xiao asked Yu Ran again: "How many people are there in Xingtianguan now?"

"The garrison is [-], and there are about [-] to [-] civilians."

Xingtian Pass is different from Jialin Pass. It is said to be a pass, but in fact it is also a big city. Just a sentry.

With 10 garrisons, plus the people in the city, there are nearly 6000 people in the big city, and Qi Xiao has only [-] people. Even if they have heavy siege weapons such as rush cars, ladders, and heavy crossbows, it is impossible to attack by force, and it is absolutely impossible to attack by surprise. Not easy.

The city of Xingtianguan is ten feet high and the walls are three feet thick. Even if Chi Yueqing is extremely skilled, it is almost impossible to climb over that wall without being noticed.

There is only one way to seize Tianguan, which is to cooperate with the inside and the outside.

Qi Xiao also used this method to attack Jialin Pass just now.

After Chi Yue and Zong Sheng delivered the news to Qi Xiao, they sneaked into Jialin Pass and ambush in the dark. After calculating the time, when Qi Xiao approached Jialin Pass, they first killed the sleeping guard and the sentinel at night. He directly opened the city gate and let Qi Xiao in.

Qi Xiao's vanguard force consisted of only 200 people, and they were divided into ten teams. As soon as they entered the pass, they washed Jialin Pass with blood, and then the larger force entered again.

But it was obviously impossible to win Xingtianguan by relying on Chi Yue and Zong Sheng.

There were three hundred guards on the Tianguan tower alone. No matter how fast Chi Yue killed people, it would cause chaos. With such a big movement from the enemy attack, the whole city woke up in less than half a moment.

Tang Ling looked at Yu Ran, pointed to the sheepskin map, and asked, "As far as I know, there is only one sentry post between Xingtian Pass and Jialin Pass because of the miasma forest. How many people are there now? Switch?"

Yu Ran looked at Tang Ling, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. Is this Xun Anhou's son really as talented as the rumors said?Since he came in, he hadn't had time to say a word to Xing Luowei and the two of them, but he already knew that there was a sentry post between Xingtian Pass and Jialin Pass, and it was marked on the sheepskin map, so it was not unusual to notice it, but What he asked was how to switch defenses, and it seemed that he already had a plan in mind.

"Returning to Mr. Tang, there are only 30 people in the sentry post, and the defense is changed every three days. A team of ten people will leave from Xingtian pass, and ten people will return to Xingtian pass at this sentry post, and the cycle repeats."

"When is the next switch?"

"It's two days later."

Tang Ling turned to look at Qi Xiao.

Qi Xiao nodded: "It's too late."

Yu Ran was startled, in time?This means to cross the miasma forest in two days? !Qi Xiao's 6000 people squatted in the ice and snow of Fenglin Mountain for three months. They were hungry and cold, and they didn't even get a good night's sleep, so they went straight to the miasma forest? !

Although this miasma forest is not very big, half a day is enough to walk through it, but they have never been in the Qi state, so it is inevitable that they will be a little uncomfortable, not to mention that the miasma forest will kill people if it is not good.

"Your Highness don't want to rest for a few more days?"

Qi Xiao waved his hand: "Just follow the original plan.

Chi Yue and Zong Sheng followed me.

Yu Ran, you lead the way and leave at noon tomorrow.

The others took a day off to keep up. "

"……Yes."

Now that Qi Xiao had given the order, Yu Ran couldn't say anything more, but he felt somewhat uneasy about the King of Chu, and before he received the secret letter from Xuanji Camp, he didn't even know that His Majesty had such a son, The first time I heard the name of the King of Chu, it was His Majesty who asked him to lead the army, but I couldn’t find anything. I only know that His Ninth Prince is only 17 years old, and he has never led soldiers to fight before. .

Yu Ran couldn't help but look at Qi Xiao secretly again, he really didn't expect that Qi Xiao could really bring people to the state of Qi.

Jialin Pass is already frighteningly cold, and Fenglin Mountain is probably even worse. Being able to cross Fenglin Mountain in the heavy snow is really astounding, and one cannot help admiring it.

Tang Ling suddenly spoke up and said to Qi Xiao: "Xing Luowei, you also take away one person.

Father has arranged someone in Xingtian Pass, who may be able to help you. "

"Xing Luowei is here to protect you, so I don't need to."

Tang Ling said softly, "I'm not discussing with you."

Tang Ling's voice was very soft, but the people present were all martial arts practitioners with very sharp eyes and ears. The four people who didn't know the situation, Yu Ran, couldn't help being taken aback, while the others showed no signs of change.

Qi Xiao couldn't help but smiled lightly: "Okay."

The two Xing Luowei who were waiting for Tang Ling at Jialin Pass, one named Cao Xin and the other named Cao Geng, were a pair of cousins.

After discussing the matter in the lobby, Tang Ling brought the two brothers of the Cao family back to the room. They had a secret letter from Marquis Xun An to deliver to Tang Ling.
