"We have been fighting for several months, and now the enemy and our armies are exhausted and are waiting for the decisive battle in the future." Fu Chuxi said, "We have to lose this battle."

"Losing?" General Zhou asked angrily, "Does Your Highness want us to surrender without a fight?"

"It's not about surrendering without a fight, it's about feigning defeat." Fu Chuxi looked at General Zhou and pointed to a place on the map, "At that time, General Zhou, you will lead the army back to the camp, and I will lead a team of 200 people to this mountain pass. I am so happy, I will definitely lead the army to capture me."

General Zhou immediately understood the purpose of King Li, he said: "This subordinate understands."

When Fu Chuxi said this, he looked at the young soldier Wang Shu: "At that time, please ask General Wang to lead a team to ambush on the mountain. When Murong Yuan chases him in, we will tighten our pockets and capture the Beidi prince alive."

Wang Shu said: "This subordinate takes orders."

Zhou Yi thought for a while, then said with some hesitation: "Your Highness is too risky to do so, if there is something wrong..."

"How can you catch tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's lair?" Fu Chuxi asked with a smile, "Does General Wang not trust me or his own soldiers?"

Zhou Yi was startled, and said: "This subordinate takes orders."

Fu Chuxi confessed a few more words, and then asked them to go back to rest.

After the tent became quiet, Fu Chuxi stretched out his red hands from the cold to keep warm over the brazier.

It would be fine if Yang Lang was here.Fu Chuxi thought, Yang Lang is a master of swordsmanship, and this kind of person is very suitable for sneak attacking the enemy in such a battle.It's a pity that he went to escort the grain and grass, and it might take three days to return to the camp.

In early February, it was still snowing heavily outside the pass.

In such a bad weather, there were fewer pedestrians and vehicles on the road, only occasionally a few carriages drove side by side to the outside of the pass.

Before leaving the customs, Mo Chen received news from Hall Master Ma that the sender from the Bai family was indeed going outside the pass, and the specific destination would not be known until he tracked the sender to the place.Mo Chen couldn't wait, he decided to go directly to Songzhou, but if he couldn't find Fu Chuxi, he would go back to see the news from Hall Master Ma.

Before leaving the customs, Mo Chen changed a horse first, bought a few warm clothes and animal skin boots, wrapped a cloak and fur hat made of gray wolf fur, and bought a few bags of spirits to hang on the horse. Only then did they rush to Songzhou at full speed.

The wind and snow were blowing, like a sharp knife cutting through the skin, Mo Chen covered his mouth and nose with a cloth towel, and rode alone in the wind and snow to drive the road.

For several days in a row, Mo Chen traveled during the day and slept in a sheltered place at night. Although the long journey made him exhausted, he thought that he would be able to reach Songzhou in at most two days, and maybe see Fu Chuxi the day after tomorrow. , Mo Chen didn't feel bitter anymore.

As a result, the sky failed as people wished. Seeing that they were about to reach Songzhou, a heavy snowfall made the journey very difficult. Before the evening, the road ahead was already white and unclear.

Mo Chen rode his horse and continued on, and finally saw a string of red lights in the snow before dark—it was an inn.The only inn less than a hundred miles away from Songzhou.

Before Mo Chen came to the inn, he tied the horse in a stable outside the inn.A guy in the stable was feeding the horse, Mo Chen tied up the horse, gave the guy some silver, and asked him to take care of his horse, then he took his burden and went into the inn.

As soon as I entered the inn, a heat wave hit my face, and my hands and feet that were frozen stiff gradually warmed up.

Mo Chen didn't expect that the inn outside the pass would be so lively. There were dozens of tables in the lobby, and there were people sitting at each table. Many people were drinking and chatting, and it was extremely noisy.

Several guys shuttled through the lobby with meals, avoiding people who got up and a large stove in the middle of the lobby from time to time.On the big stove is a roasted lamb, sizzling with oil, exuding a tempting aroma of barbecue.

Mo Chen couldn't help swallowing. Since he was on the road, he often slept in the open air. When he was sleepy, he found a shelter from the wind and slept with his clothes on. When he was thirsty, he drank a few sips of cold water. What does steaming food taste like?

Mo Chen just wants to find a table to sit down, then order a table for food, and another room for a bucket of hot water, take a quick bath after eating and drinking, and then get into the bed and sleep warmly for a while. Sleep.

Mo Chen called Xiao Er and asked him for a room.

"I don't have any room today, even the utility room I live in is sold. But the boss said, you can stay overnight in the lobby, just pay one tael of silver." Xiaoer said.

Mo Chen took out an ingot of ten taels of silver and handed it to Xiaoer: "The lobby is the lobby, and for the rest, bring me some good dishes and two jugs of good wine."

Xiao Er took the silver and weighed it, and said: "There are no empty tables at the moment, the guest officer finds a table to sit on, and the good wine and food will be here soon!"

If you want to eat, you have to find someone to share a table, which is really troublesome.

Mo Chen glanced at the people in the lobby one by one——

At a glance, it is not difficult to find that the people in the lobby of this inn are divided into sects.

Some of them look like people walking in the rivers and lakes, they are male and female, they all drink and talk and laugh, and sometimes scold their mothers a few times, Mo Chen still recognizes the faces of some of them, but most of them are gangsters who are wanted by the rivers and lakes for rewards, Two of them have offered rewards as high as a thousand gold.If Mo Chen hadn't been in a hurry to find Fu Chuxi, he really wanted to behead a few people in exchange for some gold.

There are also some people who look like businessmen. They talk in low voices, and they are extremely cautious and restrained when they speak and do things, and they don't want to be noticed by others.

And the last kind of people accounted for half of the people in the entire inn. It was a group of men wearing coarse clothes, there were as many as 80 to [-] people, and seven or eight of them sat around a table to eat. A knife, no one spoke during the meal, but when he pushed the door and entered, these people all looked at the door warily.These people looked like they were from the army, and they were probably soldiers of the front army on mission.

Mo Chen disdained to be company with Xiaoxiao Xiaoxiao in Jianghu, and he didn't want to sit with people in the court, so he went to ask those businessmen who seemed to be kind.

As a result, on this day, Mo Chen knew for the first time that he was such an annoying person, almost all the guests at every table gave him a hard look and told him to get out of the way.

Mo Chen touched his face, that is, he had grown some beards in the past half month, he shouldn't look like a bad guy, as for why he hates him so much?

Mo Chen looked around, and was thinking about finding a corner and using a stool as a table to sit on the ground and have a meal if he couldn't do it. Anyway, it's important to fill his stomach.Then I heard a voice say loudly: "Brother, if you don't mind, come and sit here."

Mo Chen looked around, and the person speaking was a young man in his early twenties. He was wearing a black robe, and there was a sword on the table.He was at the same table with two men in their 40s, both of whom had knives in hand.They were with those soldiers.

"Thank you, brother." Mo Chen was not polite, sat down on the young man's empty right hand side, raised his hand and said, "Mo Chen, may I ask you brothers to address you?"

The young man said with a smile: "My lord, Yang Lang, these two are my elder brothers."

Mo Chen just came to share a table, and was not interested in greeting them. He only ate and drank with everyone when the food and drink arrived, and occasionally chatted about the weather and road conditions, and didn't say much more.

After late at night, the guests all went back to sleep, the lobby was almost empty, except for Mo Chen, there were only three or five businessmen and the waiter who was on the floor.

Mo Chen took a stool, picked a pillar to lean on, and fell asleep with his sword and clothes in his arms.When I was about to fall asleep, I heard a few businessmen chattering not far away, and I realized that they originally had a house to live in, but they were robbed by some Jianghu people.It was only then that Mo Chen realized that he was disliked at that time, most likely because he looked like a man from the world...

Early the next morning, Mo Chen was awakened by the sound of footsteps. It was Yang Lang and his group who came down and left the inn very quickly.

Mo Chen slept for another hour. After waking up, he found hot water to wash his face, ordered a bowl of steaming noodles, and when he was full, he drank a pot of wine and left the inn.

The snow has stopped, and there is a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere, and it is almost impossible to distinguish the sky from the earth.

When Mo Chen was about to leave, Mo Chen asked the buddy, and he knew that he would be able to reach Songzhou after another day's journey.

Riding on the horse, Mo Chen first wrapped his face with a cloth towel, only his eyes were exposed, then put the sheepskin covers on his hands, and finally stuffed the wine bag he had just filled with wine into his bosom, and put it close to his body, so as not to be caught again on the road. Frozen into icicles.

After packing up everything, Mo Chen rode his horse and went straight to Songzhou.
