Soft-boned beauty, isn't he fragrant?

After a whole day of sleepless nights, Xiao Qi's troops finally found an excellent hiding place in the Xishan Mountains.

This is a valley with a narrow exit and a spacious and flat interior. As long as the entrance of the valley is slightly covered, people will not be afraid of being discovered in a short while.

Moreover, this place is less than a hundred miles away from the city of Zion, and it can be reached within two hours by a fast horse. If the situation improves, it will be convenient for them to quickly transport food and grass into the city.

At this time, all the extra luggage was destroyed, even Xiao Qi's large tent for supervising the army was no exception, and the civilian husbands were also paid to let them disperse on their own. Under the rock, spread out the marching map, ready to indicate the next move.

Zhang Heng was the last one to arrive, and at a glance, Yan Zixing and his two lieutenants were sitting cross-legged by the fire, the chariot chief Lin Yuan and the marching staff officer Ruan Jixing surrounded King An on one left and one on the right.

The two personal soldiers close to King An, the one with the scarred face, were roasting dry food by the fire, while Xiao Qingxiu sat on the top of the rock, flicking her legs and staring at his master in a daze, as if there was something in her eyes. Like stars, reflected in the light of the fire, the ordinary little face that can be seen was actually set off by several points of color.

He suppressed the inexplicable cranky thoughts in his heart, looked around, and chose to sit next to Scarface.

As soon as he sat down firmly, he heard Wang An Xiaoqi order in a deep voice: "Everyone rest at the same place for the night, get up tomorrow morning, Lin Yuan, you should return to Shangdu quickly, and after reporting the situation to the emperor, start raising the next batch of supplies immediately. No matter how much you can save, you must run northward again within a month."

"Yes." Lin Yuan answered simply.

"Zhang Heng, the army of the Northern Expedition has been in this small valley for several months. This place is remote. As long as you are vigilant and don't reveal your whereabouts, it will not be a problem to hide him for ten and a half months. Now I will entrust you with the heavy responsibility of guarding Above, you must not betray Gu's trust."

"Ah? Ah... yes!" Zhang Heng hesitated in answering, he didn't want to disobey orders, he just didn't understand why the heavy responsibility fell on him, didn't Yan Zixing still have three thousand full-armored soldiers here? , where is it his turn to be a veteran who escorts food and grass?

Xu Shi saw the doubts in his heart, Xiao Qi spoke more seriously:

"Right now is a time when there is no harvest, and the Northern Expedition Army is besieged. I don't know how long it will be surrounded. The food in the city is the most scarce. We abandoned all the supplies to save this batch of rations. It is hard to say, it is a few hundred thousand people. Your life, you must not take it lightly! Hidden well, there is no Gu or General Chen's handwriting, and you must not have any provocative behavior, understand?"

"Yes!" This time, he didn't dare to hesitate.

After getting the guarantee, Xiao Qi responded with an approving "Yes", turned around and untied the long sword beside him, and solemnly handed it to Ruan Jixing:

"Counselor Ruan, General Pei is asking you to come here. General Chen must have sent troops to ask for help, but first, I don't know if those who ask for help can break through the siege safely. The army is reluctant to stand out after spending two or three months.

Your excellent eloquence can be used as a spur, take the Tianzi sword, and then persuade him in the name of Gu, so that he must send troops as soon as possible.Xiong Liang will accompany you and protect you all the way. "

Ruan Jixing bowed in an extremely upright manner, took the sword, and replied softly: "I will live up to my lord's entrustment."

Seeing this, Lin Yuan on the right side also bowed solemnly and added: "Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely do our best."

The two people's lord, made the surrounding unknown people feel a little dazed. They were neither princes nor supervising military titles. It is said that the staff officer of the marching army had escaped from the palace's retainers. In the past, how could the majestic fourth-rank chariot and horse chief steward also learn from others and call him the master?

Zhang Heng couldn't stop muttering in his stomach, he had been in the capital for a long time, and he was able to figure out some ways, and his heart was a little flustered by this obviously unconventional title.

Yan Zixing didn't have such meticulous thoughts. After being surprised, he just felt a little displeased. He arranged tasks one by one. What about him, a general with three thousand soldiers?

Relying on the majesty of the Son of Heaven Sword to coerce him, should he abandon it and let him fend for himself?

That being the case, it would be better to let him go back earlier, even if it is just a drop in the bucket, then go back to the city wall to kill a few more Beikou, and share life and death with the comrades trapped in the city.

As he gritted his teeth and thought about it, Xiao Qi's eyes turned to his head.

"General Yan, I know that you were forcibly conscripted and could not join the war, and I feel a little dissatisfied, but frankly speaking, even if you go back under the current situation, it will be like hitting a stone with a pebble, and it will not be of much use. Are you willing to put all your eggs in one basket and accompany you through the journey?"

Yan Zixing was a little confused, "Where are you going?"

Xiao Qi bent down to pick up a burnt branch, drew a big black circle on the marching map, and said, "Gulunhaer!"

After saying this, except for Ruan Jixing who showed understanding, the rest of the people around the fire opened their mouths wide open, as if they were listening to a scripture from heaven.

Until a "puchi", short laughter came, breaking the stagnant atmosphere.

It was the handsome little soldier on the top of the rock, who couldn't help laughing out loud.

The voice was quite inappropriate, but in Chu Gui's eyes, Xiao Qi had completely shed his exaggerated and laughing mask in just a few days. Her peach blossom eyes were also full of cold electricity at this time, and there was a seductive gleam in her eyes from time to time, appearing extraordinarily calm and sharp.

While the flames were extinguishing, the man calmly said that the act of sending him to death was so easy, as if it was so simple to lead 3000 people to counterattack the enemy's capital, and it was nothing more than a group outing.

This kind of courage, this kind of heart, made his heart flutter uncontrollably. At this moment, he couldn't think of anything else. He couldn't help gushing out his joy, and he really wanted to kiss him!furiously! !

"Shushua", Yan Zixing, who was awakened by the laughter, couldn't help jumping up, the light armor on his body was rubbing against each other, as if he was as excited as its owner, and his face was also flushed like drunk, "Gu Lun Ha'er, the city of the Golden Tent in Beiyuan? But... but the armies of both sides are blocking the border, how can we rush over?"

Xiao Qi's eyes swept across the looming mountains in the distance, and then glanced at the smiling person on the top of the rock.The sky has eyes, and the ground has guides. Is there any place in this world that he can't go to?

He said coldly, "Oh, if they can go around, won't we? You don't have to worry about the other side, just say whether you dare to go or not?"

The extraordinary achievements of the ages are right in front of you, not to mention that the leader of the army is the Supervisor of the Northern Expedition Army, His Royal Highness Prince Dingguo, who is under one man and over ten thousand people. Yan Zixing's chest is full of infinite courage, and a neat gesture of crossing his hands Reaching the lower jaw, he responded loudly:

"Here! The final general is willing to go, even if he dies, he will have no regrets."

"Okay, let's all go get ready." Xiao Qi ended the brief military meeting with one sentence. After saluting, everyone retreated one after another. In a blink of an eye, only Wuming beside the fire was left.

Naturally, he didn't think it was an outsider, he raised his head and said to Chu Gui: "Come down, rest early, we have to go on our way tomorrow morning."

Chu Gui didn't move, and asked lazily: "You want to pass through the no-man's land in the Gela Mountains last time? The road is very difficult to walk, and there are several moats that can only allow one person to pass slowly."

Xiao Qi came back a little rambunctious: "What are you afraid of? Isn't there a guide like you and a top expert here, just walk slowly."

"That's Liu Fu's way out, my Liu Ying doesn't spread the secret, you let me bring such a large group of people through, what benefits will you do me?" Chu Gui couldn't help but play tricks.

Xiao Qi smiled, "What benefits do you want? Give it all to you, can the whole person be your success?"

"What's the use of you?" Chu Gui murmured indifferently, and said happily: "I'll talk about it later when I think of something useful. Now, I'll jump down. If you can fix me up, I'll be there tomorrow." Be your guide obediently."

Xiao Qi didn't answer any more, just stretched out his arms.

Chu Gui looked at the person below, and felt that the smile on that face was as warm as fire, not only illuminating his face, but also completely illuminating his heart.

He had walked alone in the dark countless times, how he wished that someone would stretch out his arms to him like this, hold him when he was falling endlessly, hug him, and never leave him.

Up to now, God is merciful, this person really exists, right in front of you, within reach.

He fell straight down, without raising his breath, and fell naturally by gravity. In the blink of an eye, he was already tightly hugged in his arms.

Xiao Qi didn't say a word, bowed his head and kissed his lips passionately for a long time, then panted slightly and said in a low voice: "Is this okay?"

Chu Guihui was still a little unfinished, but his mouth was not forgiving: "I let you catch me, but I didn't let you kiss me. Is it for my benefit or for your benefit?"

"Heh" The deep and magnetic laughter seemed to resonate from the chest, Xiao Qi argued: "Didn't you ask me to kiss you, and you forgot right after you finished speaking?"

Catch or kiss?

Well, in terms of nonsense and obsessive romantic methods, he is indeed still inferior to His Royal Highness King An, the number one scholar in Huaguo. Chu Gui bit his lip and stared at him for a while, then he hugged him again in confusion, hooked his hands around the neck, and ruthlessly Kiss back.

Wuming, who had been trying to become invisible, finally couldn't bear it any longer. He quietly put down the dry food in his hand, used a maneuvering technique, and completely disappeared into the darkness.

After a long time, the indiscriminate battle of words and guns finally subsided, Xiao Qi still did not let anyone go to the ground, and the princess sat down beside the fire with his arms in his arms, and handed the dry food that Wuming had already baked to Chu Gui. superior.

After the fuss, he wanted to be serious.

"Xiaogui, this trip to Beiyuan is quite different from before. Before, it was a secret walk, which is the way you are best at. In addition, you are very good at lightness, so you can come and go freely. But this time, it's war. It is a life-and-death fight with clear swords and spears, and personal bravery is no longer the key to victory. If you are really trapped in a meat grinder like the city of Zion, no matter how skilled you are, you may not be able to escape unscathed.

I made this decision without discussing it with you, I hope you don't blame me, I am..."

Before he could continue, Chu Gui gulped the bun, "I told you earlier, I will go wherever you go, why are you so wordy?"

Xiao Qi chewed a few times helplessly, finally swallowed the steamed bun, sighed slightly, and then continued: "You must make it clear, you bear the blood and deep revenge of the clan, if... if you have What's wrong, I'm afraid you will regret it."

Thinking about the way he looked at the bright yellow eyes on the city wall on the day of the expedition, and thinking about his persistence over the years, Xiao Qi was really worried that the two of them would be separated by revenge.

Although he also desperately wants to avenge his father, the result he wants is not the other party's death. He wants conclusive evidence, wants to remove him from the Xiao family in a dignified manner, and give his ancestors a clear answer. explain.

To achieve such a goal, I don't know how long it will take, how much effort will be put in, and the difficulty is much greater than the destruction of the body. Today, taking this opportunity, he wants to be frank and thorough with Chu Gui.

It’s just that there is a tacit understanding, and before he can fully express his meaning, Chu Gui has actually sensed it, and said: "I can follow you to the war, and I never thought about regretting. Revenge is important, but you are more important in my heart." .

Besides, didn't he and you also have a feud against killing your father?Didn't you still make the choice to put the country first and then the family?You want to wait until the evidence is in hand and you are sure, and then deal with him in a fair manner, right?I listen to you because I believe in you. "

Of course I believe it, how can a person who regards the jokes promised by his body as a promised oath, who has been self-denying for more than ten years and has not touched his body among thousands of flowers, how can he not believe it?

In response to him, there were no extra words, but another round of fiery kisses.
