"Can the two of you not play tricks at this time?" Bai Xiqiao couldn't help it, the most he couldn't stand was Qi Xiao and Tang Ling who were tired of being crooked.

But Tang Ling could see through Qi Xiao's twists and turns, and had a perfect understanding, making everyone else seem very stupid.

Tang Ling glanced at Qi Xiao with a smile, waiting for him to explain.

Qi Xiao tugged Tang Ling, leaned against him, and said with a low smile, "I want to hear what Ziyi has to say first."

Bai Xiqiao rolled his eyes: "Why don't you two chat first, and we go out to have a meal before coming back?"

"Brother, are you hungry?"

Bai Xiqiao gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Hungry! Dead!"

Qi Xiao couldn't help laughing out loud: "Then talk while eating?"

"No, you say it now, and eat it after you make it clear.

What bothers you the most is half of what you said. "

The two brothers, Qi Xiao and Bai Xiqiao, quarrel anytime and anywhere. Except for the newcomers from Xingluowei and Xuanjiying, everyone present is used to it. A string was tensed, and now it was good to hear the two of them quarreling, but suddenly they both felt that the armor on their bodies could be lightened by two or three points.

"Let me tell you."

Tang Ling pointed to Bashan on the sand table, and said, "Bashan has been built for 600 years. It is known as the first pass in the world. It is said to be unbreakable and impenetrable, but in fact Bashan was broken once. Many, many years. In the past, long before the Eight Kingdoms War, the territory of the Huyan tribe from Fenglin Mountain to Bashan Mountain was occupied by natural dangers and refused to submit to the former Sui Dynasty. In order to capture Bashan, the former Sui generals spent three months digging an underground canal to pass through Overcome the high mountain and stone wall, and broke through Bashan in one fell swoop."

When Baixiqiao was happy, he clapped his hands and laughed, "Then there is a third way!"

But Tang Ling shook her head: "It's just that this history is written sloppily. There is no description of who led the army and how many people participated in the battle, not to mention where the underground canal was built and where it was built. Many people listen to it as a story. Forget it.

Furthermore, the former Sui Dynasty was all about 300 years ago. Bashan City Pass was the military fortress of Qi State. "

"...Isn't that for nothing?!"

"Brother, don't worry," Qi Xiao still smiled, "We are not in Fuzhou, not in Yuanjing, but in Xingtian Pass, where you can see Bashan from the city pass.

Whether Bashan has an underground canal, you can go to Chen He's study to find out. "

Both Baixiqiao and Lu Xiulin were taken aback.

yes!They have occupied Xingtian Pass now, and the confidential military defense map that even the Xuanji Battalion could not steal in the past is now under their noses!

"Mr. Tang just said that..." Bai Xiqiao thought about it and still felt wrong, "What if the underground canal is blocked? What if we can't find it?"

Qi Xiao waved to Baixiqiao: "Brother, come over here."

"Huh? What?" Bai Xiqiao walked over without thinking.

"Look this way."

Baixi Bridge looked closely at the sand table following Qi Xiao's pointing, Bashan or Bashan, what's the difference?He can see clearly on the other side too.

"Brother, take a closer look, is there a stream here?"

Bai Xiqiao nodded slightly: "I see."

It is not abnormal to have springs and streams in the mountains.

"This creek enters Bashan."

"Hmm... That's right..."

Is there something wrong with a small stream flowing into Bashan?Isn't it common for mountain streams to dry up as they flow?It may not necessarily be able to pass through the mountains and flow out into rivers.

Baixiqiao frowned, looked up at Qi Xiao, and murmured: "...you don't want to tell me that this creek is where the dark canal is?"

"Is it right? You'll know if you check it out."

Lu Xiulin's face was sullen, as if he had no expression on his face, but his heart was beating extremely fast, he almost wanted to roar to the sky, to Bai Liu, General, we are going to attack Bashan!We can take Bashan!

It seemed that Lu Xiulin didn't realize until this moment that they had already penetrated deep into the Qi territory and reached a place that Bai Liu had never been able to set foot in his life.

Lu Xiulin followed Bai Liu for half his life, and finally, finally walked in front of Bai Liu.

Lu Xiulin looked at Qi Xiao, the King of Chu and the Ninth Prince. He was sure that this young man would become another myth, surpassing Lu Fangjin and Bai Liu. He might be the heir apparent of Da Chen and the new lord of the world.

Lu Xiulin clenched her fists, thinking, can I see it?The world is united.

For hundreds of years, so many heroic souls have been drained of blood and their bones turned into dust, but now Lu Xiulin seems to see the four big characters of success and fame written in front of his eyes, with a dazzling light attached to them.

"Let's go, I'll go to Chen He's study now!" Bai Xiqiao had already left the meeting room before he finished speaking. Lu Xiulin seemed to wake up from a dream, and immediately followed.

Qi Xiao took Tang Ling by the hand and asked, "Are you hungry? Eat first?"

Tang Ling nodded with a smile: "Eat first."

The people in the conference hall have all dispersed, but Chi Yue and Zong Sheng are still there. Chi Yue is not a member of Dingyuan's army. He only follows Qi Xiao. Now Qi Xiao only wants to be alone with Tang Ling, so he doesn't want to There is nowhere to go if you want to be disliked by others, so you simply wait in the meeting hall for dinner.

If Chi Yue didn't leave, Zong Sheng would naturally accompany him.

"Hey..." Chi Yue sighed, "This armor is so heavy, can't it be removed?"

"My lord's military order, you are not allowed to remove your armor."

Chi Yue propped his head up, feeling uncomfortable from being pinched by the armor. He looked up at Zong Sheng, wanting to hug him, but hugging him through the armor was like hitting a wall, which made Chi Yue very unhappy.

"Is the injury on your back healed? Is it still itchy? Do you need to change your medicine?"

"The injury is healed, it doesn't itch, and there is no need to change the medicine."

Zong Sheng answered seriously, but the answer was somewhat perfunctory.

Chi Yue looked at Zong Sheng and blinked, reaching out to untie his armor.

"What's wrong?"

"His Highness said that it is not allowed to remove the armor, but he also did not say that he was not allowed to heal the wound.

Let me see if the injury is really healed. "

"It's really good!" In broad daylight, Chi Yue stretched out his hand and peeled off his armor, so what happened if someone saw it.

Seeing Zong Sheng flustered, Chi Yue laughed. Zong Sheng had hardly spoken these days, and all his thoughts were on Qi Xiao. Chi Yue couldn't help being jealous of Qi Xiao, but last night When Chuanzhuo was killing people in Xingtian Pass, Zong Sheng secretly held his hand tightly. It was only at the end that Chi Yue realized that his knife was clean without a single drop of blood, and he stole a great laziness.

Zong Sheng didn't know why Chi Yue was laughing wildly, and he didn't know why his ears suddenly felt hot. He slowly moved his eyes away, but Chi Yue kept staring at him. After a while, he couldn't stand it anymore, and then moved his eyes away again. When he came back, he looked at Chi Yue and asked, "Have you been to Qi State?"

"Ah?" Chi Yue has been here before, the capital of the state of Zhou who detoured to Qi state back then.

"Your dialect is very good."

Chi Yue still smiled, but the corners of his eyes sank: "That's natural.

The most basic lesson in the disguise technique is to imitate, body, language, expression, every detail must not be wrong, otherwise the flawless human skin mask will be easily seen through. "

"So you haven't been to Qi country?"

"Has your Highness ever been here? Your Highness's native language of Qi is also very good."

Chi Yue said it casually, but he didn't answer Zong Sheng's question directly. Zong Sheng was puzzled, but he didn't continue to ask. He just nodded and fell silent again.

The corners of Chi Yue's mouth were slightly pressed down. Even if he admitted that he had been to Qi, Zong Sheng didn't dare to ask in detail about the mission of Tiance Camp. He had no way of knowing what happened ten years ago, but Chi Yue I can't answer such a simple question.

Zong Sheng will never know those things, and he doesn't need to know them.

Zong Sheng looked at Chi Yue, knowing that he was fooling himself again. In the past ten years, Chi Yue didn't mention a word. Zong Sheng asked, but he never had an answer. Maybe he could say it, maybe he didn't want to. The most flawless body is an illusion, and those that no longer exist must be the most painful and deepest wounds.

Zong Sheng held Chi Yue's hand tightly and lowered his head slightly. He was stupid and didn't know what to say.

Say he doesn't care?But he cared. He wanted to know why Chi Yue broke his leg back then, and how he spent the past ten years. He wanted Chi Yue to cry in his arms again so that he could hug him and replace him. He wiped away his tears, as if he could only confirm that the scars on Chi Yue's body were healed only when he saw the scars on Chi Yue's body. He was afraid that Chi Yue would not let him know anything.

Ke Zongsheng didn't know how to say it.

"Zong Sheng," Chi Yue sighed softly, and said, "Don't let me go."

Zong Sheng looked up at Chi Yue, and seemed to hold his hand harder.

"...Just like when you were in Fenglin Mountain, no matter what kind of danger you encounter, you must come back to see me.

must. "

"it is good."

Zong Sheng nodded and agreed, "Then you can't get rid of me again."

Chi Yue smiled, tilted his head and leaned on Zong Sheng's shoulder, and said with a soft smile, "No more."

Qi Xiao stood beside Tang Ling with a plate of barbecued meat, feeding him a bite from time to time.

Tang Ling has been taught very strictly since she was a child. Sitting, standing and walking are all the rules. Except when he was marching, he has never been so rude. At first, he refused, but Qi Xiao likes to chase him. After thinking about it, now It can be regarded as marching, so he simply followed suit.

"Xu Zheng is a general, why are there still such a pile of scrolls? Shall I find more people to help you find them?" Qi Xiao fed Tang Ling another bite, and sighed as he looked at the books and scrolls piled up on the desk.

Bai Xiqiao and Lu Fang went to Chen He's study and bedroom to find military defense maps.

Qi Xiao and Tang Ling wanted to eat something first, the meat was all roasted, only a handful of chili noodles was missing.

But Tang Ling suddenly thought that Xu Zheng had been stationed in Xingtian Pass all the year round before he was granted the title of marquis, so there should be a room for Xu Zheng, so she got up and found it.

Sure enough, Xu Li not only had a room, but also a study room, which was still locked.

Qi Xiao chased after Tang Ling with a plate of barbecued meat, glanced at the lock, kicked the study door open, and entered Xu Zheng's study very frankly.

Xu's certificate room was so full of books that it was really hard to get started for a while.

Since the door is locked, there may be hidden compartments in the room, and there are so many books, so we can only search slowly.

"Hmm..." Tang Ling chewed the less flavorful barbecue, piled all the books on the bookshelf on the table, then reached out and knocked on the wall behind the bookshelf, one by one.

Qi Xiao opened his mouth to say something, but stopped when he heard another knock, and heard Tang Ling knock again.

Tang Ling turned her head and looked at Qi Xiao with a smile: "I found it."

Sure enough, there are hidden compartments on the wall!
