The mountains in the north are majestic and majestic, while the mountains in the south are towering and straight. In the middle of Tianlang, a mountainous area that runs across the east and west and divides the north and south appears unremarkable.The altitude is not necessarily high, the mountain is not necessarily steep, and the shape of the mountain is not necessarily beautiful. From a distance, it looks like several huge stone piers placed under the sky, standing shoulder to shoulder.

The central mountainous area is safe. There are small trails in the middle of the solid mountain, which is convenient for people to enter this area. The trees on the hills flanking the roads on both sides are shady, which is very good for hiding, and it is hard to figure out what is going on.

The central mountains are also dangerous because the mountains interweave and the roads are difficult.But to leave the central mountainous area, one must pass through a well-known strategic location - Broken Soul Valley.

The name of Broken Soul Valley has been around for a long time. In the past dynasties, countless generals were eager to lead troops to break through the central defense line, and they all ended up here.

This valley is naturally easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is easy to climb from the mountains on both sides of Zhongzhou Mansion, but if you want to climb the mountains from other directions, it is as difficult as climbing the sky.Everything that enters the valley will be exposed to the enemy's sight, and there is nowhere to hide.

If you want to pass through Broken Soul Valley, you must go through five bends in sequence. The terrain is tortuous and difficult to pass. This provides good conditions for fighting a blocking war.

A team of about 6000 people is slowly marching in the humid and sticky air of the central mountainous area. The soldiers move neatly and step vigorously. It can be seen that he has experienced many battles.

This is the branch of the Yinzi Army arranged by Lan Yize to respond in the central mountainous area. It was withdrawn from the local garrison to support King Ye, and it was also the only one before Lang Yinshi went south.

Since meeting at the entrance of the mountain a few days ago, the soldiers were very excited to see "General Yin" again after two years. They all cheered and wanted to escort King Ye to the south.The aspiration of the army has undoubtedly added a lot of confidence to everyone in the palace.Hu Han and Lu Yuan took over 3000 people respectively and started a rapid march. Lang Yinshi also left the carriage, hung up his sword, and rode forward.

This morning, Lang Yinshi rode his horse and stopped at a mountain top. He raised his mirror and looked at the cloud-shrouded mountain opposite.

"Lu Yuan, bring me the mountain map." She turned her head, reached out to Lu Yuan, and took the sheepskin scroll. "How far is it from Broken Soul Valley?"

Entering the central mountainous area, no commander would underestimate Broken Soul Valley, and Lang Yinshi naturally did the same.Whether you can leave the Valley of Broken Soul directly means whether you can leave the jurisdiction of the central region.

"The straight-line distance is still 160 miles." Lu Yuanhui reported that the weather was getting colder, and white mist would come out when he spoke. "We walked across the mountain, if counting the distance, it may take another ten days."

Wearing a fur-collared cloak and a felt animal-skin cap, Lang Yinshi's face was like a jade crown, and his black eyes were like stars. After studying the map and engravings, she said calmly. "Ten days? Too slow. Be sure to march faster."

"It has been raining in the mountains for the past few days, the mountain roads have collapsed and are muddy, and the roads are impassable in many places, and the speed is really not fast." Lu Yuan scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

"Is there any news from the Zhongzhou government?"

"It's the news I heard when I first entered the mountain area. The herald hasn't brought back any information in the past few days."

"This won't work." Lang Yin released the sheepskin picture scroll in his hand, seeming to be worried. "Although many people died in Broken Soul Valley, this valley is not born to eat people."

"If we want to cross the valley safely, we have to go first, before Zhongzhou soldiers occupy Broken Soul Valley." Lang Yinshi frowned and explained, "Now we don't know anything about the outside information, and we are very passive."

"Hurry up and send someone to guard the point outside Broken Soul Valley. Once there is any movement from the enemy, send it back immediately!" Lang Yinshi thought for a while, and ordered, "Ten days can change too many things. Don't miss the opportunity."

After a pause, she added, "In addition, send someone to find a local guide for me. Make sure to find the other exits outside the Broken Soul Valley and out of the central mountainous area. This matter is urgent, so do it quickly!"

Lu Yuan nodded again and again, and wrote them down one by one. When he heard that he was looking for a guide, he couldn't help but feel bitter.

"General (you must use the title of commander in the march), everyone knows that the central mountainous area has only one exit for the Valley of the Broken Soul for many years. Where can I find another exit... The guide is easy to find, but the exit is hard to find!"

Hearing this impossible task, Lu Yuan felt fearful.

"Have you looked for it?" Lang Yinshi glared at him calmly, and said calmly, "You are discouraged before you look for it? If you don't inquire, how do you know there is no other way out?"

She put down the tube mirror in her hand, pointed to the mountains in the distance and said, "Look at this mountain area, it's so vast, as a passer-by, can you easily understand the details? Remember, be sure to ask the local residents carefully to find key information , Come back and report!"

Hearing Lang Yinshi's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help being shaken, he curled his lips, nodded and answered. "Yes! Then I'll try first. If I can't find it, don't punish me, General."

"..." Lang Yinshi put on a serious face, "It's slow, get out!"

Lu Yuan grinned, "This subordinate obeys!"

Governor's Yamen of Zhongzhou Prefecture

The avenue leading to the yamen is paved with gray bluestone bricks and is wide enough for six carriages to drive side by side.

Outside the gate of the yamen with red lacquer and copper nails, two majestic stone lions stepped on hydrangea balls, their eyes were wide open, and they looked up at the sky.

Li Sitong led a whole family of hundreds of people, big and small, kneeling at the steps outside the yamen, welcoming the distinguished guests who got off their horses. "My subordinates welcome King Xuan!"

Lang Kangzhe wore a golden crown, a dark dark embroidered four-clawed cloud dragon robe inside, red brocade breeches, a mink velvet cape on the outside, and big thick-soled boots. Looking down, exuding a natural imperial aura.

Although he had been on the road for a few days, Lang Kangzhe's expression was not gloomy, but rather friendly. Li Sitong was relieved when he saw this.

He was afraid that Lang Kangzhe would scold him for neglecting the military administration these days.

"Get up, Lord Li." Lang Kangzhe showed a generous smile, walked up the steps, and patted Li Sitong on the shoulder by the way. "These days, please take care of Seventh Princess for me."

"My lord, please." Li Sitong hurriedly got up, greeted eagerly, and signaled the servants in the mansion to start serving, "The seventh princess is relaxing in the back garden." He said, and followed Lang Kangzhe all the way into the mansion Door.

Going around the halls and stepping under the wooden corridors in the back garden, you can see the person in the purple and gold skirt in the waterside pavilion from a distance. Watching the water.

Lang Kangzhe couldn't help standing where he was.There was a hint of warmth in the long and narrow eyes, which was the joy from the heart that would only sprout when seeing Mo Ziyou.

Mo Ziyou was throwing fish food into the fish pond. Her expression was calm, and her beautiful side face was as frosty as frost. From time to time, she raised her jade hand slightly, and lightly pulled a strand of hair hanging from the side of her face. The inadvertent softness made people feel throbbing.

"My lord, do you need to notify Princess Seven?" Li Sitong asked.

"No need." Lang Kangzhe waved his hands and smiled generously, "Just looking at it this way, Mo'er is already extremely beautiful."

He hasn't seen Mo Ziyou for a long time. He longs for him in every possible way, but he is always obstructed by formidable enemies. He almost wants to be covered up by mundane trivial matters. Just when he is gradually forgetting about love and devoting himself to the imperial power, this lovely person suddenly appears in front of him. In front of you, isn't it exciting?

It seems that his infatuation is still being favored by God after all.

Just as he was immersed in these beautiful thoughts. "Report—" A herald walked around from the front hall to the back garden, rushed to Li Sitong's side, and interrupted Lang Kangzhe's thoughts with a loud cry.

Li Sitong pretended to be angry and said, "Back off! Can't you see any distinguished guests? I don't know if there is anything to report later!"

The herald was terrified for a moment.

"...Okay, don't scare him." Lang Kangzhe was unexpectedly kind, he straightened his sleeves, and said indifferently, "He is in such a hurry, there must be something important to report, let's talk about it. It just so happens that the king is also listening."

"Yes!" The herald breathed a sigh of relief, and reported, "Dingzhou came to report urgently, and found that King Ye's troops had entered the central mountainous area!"

Lang Kangzhe was stunned when he heard the words, and didn't change his mind for a moment.

"What... has entered the central mountainous area? How could it be from Dingzhou?!"

how come?How could Xiao Shi pass through Dingzhou unimpeded all the way!Lang Kangzhe was thinking quickly in his mind.

"Where's the capital of Dingzhou? Didn't they send troops to chase after it?"

"Because Zhongzhou heard that the seventh princess was found, the Dingzhou prefectural government arbitrarily withdrew the checkpoint. When it was discovered, it was too late to pursue... Entering the central mountainous area, it is not under the jurisdiction of Dingzhou. The Dingzhou prefectural capital Therefore, I ask your lord for help!" The herald said, looking at Li Sitong.Li Sitong secretly took a deep breath, this is all right, the first battle will really start from Zhongzhou.

"..." Lang Kangzhe's face gradually darkened... After a long while, he slowly raised his head and looked at the beauty not far away.

The beauty is still like a delicate flower reflecting water, but at this moment, it seems that her taste has changed, and she loses color in Lang Kangzhe's eyes.

Mo'er, you took the initiative to throw yourself into my arms, it turned out to be a trick of abandoning the car to protect the handsome, the purpose is to help Xiao Shi go south?

Are you willing to do this for her, even to deceive me? !

What does she mean to you? !You clearly said that you don't care about her! !

Unable to understand Mo Ziyou's thoughts, Lang Kangzhe became irritable all of a sudden, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"Li Sitong was so frightened that he followed closely behind, following suit.

The two walked out of the back garden one after the other.

"Lord Li." Lang Kangzhe had calmed down a lot when he reached the front hall of the yamen. He turned to look at Li Sitong, his eyes filled with coldness. "You should be familiar with the central mountain area, right?"

"Yes! The exit of the central mountain area is at the southern border of Zhongzhou Prefecture, and my subordinates have led troops to garrison there many times."

"Well, I want you to send troops to Broken Soul Valley immediately, notify the Dingzhou government, and continue to send troops deep into the mountains to pursue, flanking back and forth. I want to see how Lang Yinshi comes out of the central mountain! Let's see how he continues to play with me !"

Lang Kangzhe's face was livid, and he gritted his teeth and said angrily. "Dare to use Mo'er against me, unforgivable!!"

"Subordinates understand!" Li Sitong nodded, then turned around and sent his subordinates to make arrangements. "Then, the prince, the seventh princess...?"

When Mo Ziyou was mentioned, Lang Kangzhe's expression suddenly softened a lot.To Mo Ziyou, he was never angry.After a moment of silence, Lang Kangzhe still spoke, as if he was a little reluctant.

"As long as she is willing to come back, I'm willing to temporarily let Lang Yin go." Lang Kangzhe said slowly, gradually regaining his mental balance. "Nothing is more important than Mo'er."

"What's more, when Mo'er comes back to me, I can go all out to deal with Xiao Shi, and I won't be tied down!" Lang Kangzhe said with great determination.

The author has something to say:
