After a great battle, a strong smell of iron rust permeates the night, and the bright moon in the sky is also covered with a strange red.

Qiao Xie leaned on a big rock, boredly holding a blade of grass, and looked in the direction of the city gate.

This place is fully two miles away from Pingyao City, surrounded by wild grass half a person's height.The massacre just now was huge, but no sound was heard in the city. Presumably, the people in every household are still sleeping peacefully at this moment. No one knows that hundreds of soldiers have experienced a massacre outside the city.

Not far away, several generals were counting the number of casualties and captured Beirong people. There was no movement in the surrounding area. Qiao Xie breathed a sigh of relief and put away his weapons to sneak around.

A gust of wind penetrated into the cold armor, through the sweaty clothes, making people want to shudder.

The lean middle-aged man on the side rolled his eyes and trembled, and the bearded man pushed him when he saw this:

"Hey, take it easy, isn't it just a war? As for being scared to pee in your pants?"

"Fuck, you're scared to pee! I'm freezing!"

The bearded man smirked: "Everyone wears the same clothes, why are you the only one shaking?"

"Who made Pingyao so cold at night!" The middle-aged man said, and glanced at Qiao Xie, "Old Qiao, please comment, is it colder in Pingyao than in Beijing?"

"It's a bit." Qiao Xie teased, "But it's not so cold that you can pee your pants."

"I told you I didn't pee my pants!"

The middle-aged man was furious.

Josie and the bearded man bumped into each other's shoulders with a smile, and the bearded man looked at the prisoners who were tied up not far away, and snorted coldly:

"I thought how capable these Beirong people are. Just a few dozen people want to attack the city. I really don't pay attention to us!"

The middle-aged man nodded, rarely agreeing with his point of view.

The bearded man turned his head to look at Qiao Xie again, and asked:

"However, Old Qiao, how do you know that the Beirong people will come to attack tonight?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

After spitting out the grass leaves with a bah, Qiao Xie put his hands behind his head and stared at the stars in the boundless night sky for a while.

Attracted by his action, the middle-aged man and the bearded man couldn't help but moved aside and looked up.

As soon as the two looked up, Qiao Xie asked lazily:

"Is there an answer in heaven?"

The middle-aged man wisely did not speak, and his bearded brain was not so bright. After watching for a long time, he replied firmly:

"no!"

"Then what are you looking at?" Qiao Xie sighed in disgust, "Every day, I don't know how to use my brain!"

Middle-aged man: "..."

The bearded man scratched his head: "Then, why do you know the whereabouts of the Beirong people?"

Hearing that, Qiao Xie was quite speechless.

He just talked about his feelings in vain.

However, looking at the bearded man and the middle-aged man, both of them looked puzzled, Qiao Xie paused, and had no choice but to express his previous guess.

"Bei Rong has not violated the frontier in the past three years, but it happened to come to sneak attack on the first night of the welcoming team's arrival. Don't you think this is too coincidental?"

"What's the coincidence, they must have run out of food again! It's not like we don't know that the poor people in Beirong are not as rich as the people in Pingyao City!" the bearded man said, puffing out his stomach proudly .

The middle-aged man sighed sadly: "I don't know if you can stop talking nonsense? Even if Beirong is short of food, it's winter. It's midsummer now, and the grassland is fertile and rich. They are so short that they want to tear each other apart with me. If they come by coincidence, it’s hard to be..."

The middle-aged man looked up at Qiao Xie with a slightly surprised expression, Qiao Xie nodded at him, the corners of his lips slightly raised.

The interaction between the two fell into the eyes of the bearded man. He looked around, but still didn't realize the main point, so he had to say angrily:

"I said, if you have something to say, can you just talk about it?"

"You idiot!" The middle-aged man bared his teeth, "You still don't understand? The Beirong people's timing is so accurate, they must have got the news in advance, they knew early in the morning that Princess Chengping arrived in Pingyao City today!"

The bearded man was stunned for a moment: "You mean, there are spies in the city?"

"It's probably true!" The middle-aged man had all the thoughts at the moment, recalling today's battle, the more he said, the more frightened he was, "No wonder this group of Beirong people sneaked here today when General Ling got married. If we weren't here Ambushes, they took advantage of the lax defense to open the city gate, I am afraid that the people in the whole city will suffer!"

"So..." the bearded man's eyes were bright, and he felt that his thoughts became clearer at the moment, "You also planned the wedding between General Ling and the princess? It must be like this! I said why it was so short The wedding banquet was prepared in a few days, and it turned out to be for the people of Beirong!"

"No, they are really married."

Qiao Xie stared at the bearded man with the eyes of a fool.

After three years of separation, why does he feel that his old friend is a little more stupid than Guan Xiaoxian?

Although he spread the news in a big way, today's wedding banquet is for real, otherwise, even if the emperor doesn't blame him, Ling Xu will probably bite him to death!

"Good strategy." The middle-aged man let out a deep breath, "Let the news of the princess's marriage spread throughout Pingyao City, and the spies in the city will send the news. The Beirong people will definitely think that the guards in the city are lax. When they come to attack, Let's lie in ambush on the way they must pass, so that the Beirong people can be restrained without any effort... Haha, old Qiao, you can come up with new ideas every time! By the way, who is that spy? "

Qiao Xie smiled slightly: "I don't know."

"Huh?" The middle-aged man was also dumbfounded, "You don't know who the spy is?"

Commander Qiao smiled brazenly: "In the past few days, how do I know who the spies are? Let's cheat first! Anyway, if the news gets out, it means that there are spies in the city, and we have captured these people alive. Go back Torture a few, I'm not afraid they won't open their mouths. If the news doesn't come out..."

Qiao Xie glanced at the dark soldiers around him, and there was no trace of shame in his tone:

"It's just a drill."

The middle-aged man and the bearded man looked at each other, unable to say a word for a long time.

A soldier ran up to several people and knelt down on one knee:

"General, you guys just counted the prisoners and found a Han Chinese among the Beirong people!"

"Han people?" Qiao Xie frowned upon hearing this, "Bring it up!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Bing turned around and left, and came back after a while, holding a heavily tied man in his hand. His appearance was indeed quite different from other Beirong people's high nose and deep eyes.

This man was pulled and pushed in front of Qiao Xie, but he turned his head angrily and refused to kneel down, just like a man of integrity.

When the bearded man saw this, he lost his temper immediately, and he drew his scabbard and was about to go up and beat him up.The man who was bound hurriedly struggled back.

Qiao Xie raised her eyebrows, and called the bearded man to stop.

The bearded man stared: "This man is a citizen of the Da'an Dynasty but is with the Beirong people. Why can't I beat him?!"

Qiao Xie let out a laugh, raised his hand and pulled out the knife from his waist, the blood-stained cold light pierced the night sharply, Qiao Xie said kindly:

"No one told you not to let you fight, come, my knife is fast."

The bearded man immediately understood, took the knife and walked towards the man with a sneer again.

The man's eyes flickered, he suddenly puffed up his chest, and said in a rough voice with dissatisfaction:

"I am the deputy general of General Longwei under Emperor Rende. If you dare to hurt me, General Longwei will lead the army to crush your Pingyao..."

"Shh-"

The cold light slashed straight at the man's leg, and after a muffled sound, the man screamed and fell to the ground, writhing in pain.

The bearded man held on to the knife, stood in front of the man like a murderous god, and said contemptuously:

"Hmph, Grandpa used the back of the knife just now, if he dares to pretend to me again, next time he will face forward with the blade and cut off your dog legs! If you know something, speak up quickly, and if you dare to speak half a lie, I will take half your life first. Leave half of it to torture slowly!"

After playing prestige, the bearded man turned around, but saw Qiao Xie and the middle-aged man frozen in place, he walked back to the two of them in doubt.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Qiao Xie ignored the beard, instead looked at the middle-aged man, and suddenly said:

"Did you hear?"

The middle-aged man looked frightened: "Yes."

Qiao Xie: "What did he just say? Emperor Rende?"

Middle-aged man: "Yes, there is also General Longwei..."

"Ha, what about Ren De Long Wei, I must have heard it from the storyteller! You two must have been frightened by his nonsense?" The bearded man scratched his head, thinking it was quite funny, "Not really Our emperor!"

The man lying on the ground finished crying, propped his face on the ground, looked at the crowd with hatred in his eyes, and suddenly burst out laughing.

The bearded man clicked his tongue and waved his knife at him: "You owe it to me, don't you?"

The man shouted violently:

"That's right, Emperor Rende is my new Emperor of the Dayu Dynasty!"

"Tsk, are you bothered by the babbling... What? Yu Chao?!"

With a "boom", the bearded knife fell to the ground, but he had no intention of picking it up. He turned his head and stared blankly at his colleagues, and opened his mouth:

"Isn't that... the previous dynasty?"

The middle-aged man nodded silently.

This discovery silenced all three.

From the corner of the eye, the man lying on the ground saw several people standing still and silent. He was overjoyed, jumped up suddenly, turned around and ran towards the boundless grassland. In less than a second, he disappeared into the half-person-high grassland. .

Qiao Xie looked up, then lowered his eyes.

Several people were immersed in their own thoughts, ignoring the escaped man.

After a while, there was a rustling sound.

More than a dozen soldiers escorted the escaped man out of the grass, and pushed him back in front of Qiao Xie and the others.

The man knelt on the ground with a "plop" and remained silent. His face was rubbed against the ground by the soldiers hidden in the grass. His nose and blue eyes were also swollen, and his original appearance could hardly be seen.

The bearded man glanced at the man: "Isn't he a fool?"

Qiao Xie snorted coldly: "It's true that he's out of his mind to make trouble in the name of the previous dynasty."

The bearded man went up and kicked the man again: "Be honest, what is your plan? Tell me!"

"Grandpa, I was wrong!" The man tried his best to open his eyes a little, and just now he was beaten, and now he saw the vicious beard again, he couldn't help crying, and confessed with snot and tears, " I was just leading the way for these Beirong people, the generals sneaked into the city a few days ago..."

"what?!"

Qiao Xie straightened up abruptly, suddenly his heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition.
