It's a bolt from the blue!

Su Ci paused with her scissors, and the cotton rope snapped. Yang Yanzong's sharp eyes immediately swept over, "What's wrong?"

His tone should be considered mild, after all, he was speaking to his own people, not outsiders, but I still couldn't feel much warmth. His indifferent voice and sharp gaze gave people a great sense of oppression. Just being stared at by him was enough to make one's spine tense.

Su Ci was under great pressure, swallowed, and whispered: "...No, nothing, I'm just a little scared, there are so many of them."

"Don't panic."

Yang Yanzong said these four words succinctly, turned his head and continued to instruct Azhao, and asked Akang to call Su Di over as well.

Su Ci responded stiffly, feeling bitter in her heart, You may not know that the original owner’s old lover is also here.

Of course she didn't dare say it.

what to do?

Su Ci had actually realized what Yang Yanzong wanted to do. Liang Shen wanted to take the opportunity to kill him and gain merit, while the latter also wanted to kill him in return. Yang Yanzong's target was the 800 soldiers and thousands of garrison troops.

These people are ambitious and careerists. After successfully evacuating the drought-stricken area, they certainly will not think of hiding their identities. They urgently need a beautiful comeback to demonstrate their value in order to return to their former core circle.

So Liang Shen had been looking for Yang Yanzong. This chaotic drought was also a good opportunity. After deciding on the migration plan, Liang Shen immediately became murderous. He wanted to take this opportunity to completely kill his mortal enemy Yang Yanzong, the confidant of the Sixth Prince's son and a difficult figure who had brought countless difficult troubles to their Four Princes' Palace!

Yang Yanzong's target was the thousands of garrison troops in the entire army.

This military town is not big but has a special location. It is a link between the past and the future and was originally under the power of the Seventh Prince. If it is successfully captured, it will become the first node and springboard for their invasion of the Northern Frontier Army's western front. The short-term alliance of the Four Princes and the Seventh Prince will immediately collapse.

——As long as Yang Yanzong kills Liang Shen, Zhang Mou and other leaders and takes control of these 3,000 garrison troops, after returning, the Six Kings will definitely be able to push the original troops of this military garrison back to their original positions.

Both sides were eyeing the enemy covetously, and this was the fundamental reason why Yang Yanzong never stayed away from the main force. As soon as he got hold of the new bargaining chip, he immediately turned the passive situation into the active one.

More than one hundred against three thousand, what an ambitious man!

Su Ci was just a little slow to react and she figured it out, so she didn't ask any nonsense like why, as it would be useless to ask.

Su Ci: “…”

Although Boss Yang said "don't panic", Su Ci was not comforted at all. She was very panicked. Oh my God, she was going to meet the Erlang group!

what to do? !

Life is full of surprises, and yet we end up back here after going around in circles? !

Su Ci seemed quite calm on the surface. Except for the fact that the cotton rope broke at the beginning, she didn't show any abnormality afterwards. She checked the fixing effect and put everything back into the box. Su Di and others had arrived one after another. She silently got up and left with the basket.

"What's the matter? What have you done?"

Su Ci put down the basket and squatted under the shade of the tree with her chin in her hand. Others could not see anything, but Su Yan knew her so well that she could immediately see the sad face beneath her calm appearance.

Su Ci took the big wooden bowl handed to her by Su Yan, looked around with a bitter face, and then said this and that in a low voice.

The jackal didn't say anything, after all, she didn't know Liang Shen, so she just told everyone the whole story of why the nephew of the Third Prince suddenly appeared here at this time, which everyone was curious about.

Su Yan was immediately shocked: "How could you do this? Why are you so confused?!"

Is it a private transaction or a marriage contract? She quickly stole a glance at Yang Yanzong, and when she saw the man's cold face, she shuddered: "He doesn't know, right? Who else knows?"

Su Yan was scared to death. The younger generations of their two families were all very afraid of Yang Yanzong and were not familiar with him. The deeds, experience, position and scheming of this eldest son were no longer in the same category as them.

Su Yan really wanted to grab her sister's collar, shake her and yell, "Sister, what on earth are you thinking about?" !

But in fact, she only dared to lower her voice and asked anxiously in a volume that only the two of them could hear.

Su Ci was speechless, with a look of pain on her face: "No, there is no one else, just the two of us, and my parents don't know."

Not bad, not bad.

But before Su Yan could breathe a sigh of relief, Su Ci immediately dropped another thunderbolt, "Yang Yanzong has ordered people to lead the large army here. It is estimated that the two sides will meet soon."

“…”

The two sisters squatted under the shade of the tree, scratching their heads and grumbling. Even the dried taro and meat in the big bowl were no longer fragrant. They couldn't think of any good solution. Finally, Su Yan held Su Ci's hand: "Don't worry, we are all together. With so many people, he may not be able to find you!" She patted Su Ci's back, "Sister will protect you! Don't be afraid, Ah Ci."

"But you must not have any contact with this person again."

The man would definitely not dare to say anything and would just hide himself. It would be best if he couldn't find her.

"Uh-huh!"

Su Yan's hands were a little too strong and it hurt her back a little, but this slightly sweaty embrace was very warm.

In the original book, when the heroine was talking to the lady she was on good terms with, the other party mentioned Su Yan and commented that she was "rash and active, not like a woman," with a lot of disdain in her words, which was also the original book's evaluation of Su Yan.

But in fact, Su Yan thinks of herself as a boy.

Since her mother had no son and her sister had no brothers, she treated herself as a boy. She followed her father in practicing martial arts since she was young, and learned how to use swords, spears, halberds, ride horses, and shoot arrows. While other girls were embroidering and playing the piano, she was sweating profusely under the scorching sun, protecting her mother and sister. Before something happened at home, she said she wanted to go to war with her father, hoping to support the family of the first wife.

If you look at it from a different angle, it's completely different.

Su Ci agreed obediently, but she was very worried. However, there was really no better solution now, so she could only resort to the tactic of hiding.

…

This encounter came much faster than expected.

Liang Shen already had some guesses, and there was no need for incitement. Yang Yanzong revealed some of the exact whereabouts, and in the evening of that day, a group of more than a hundred horses suddenly appeared in sight.

They had just found a suitable campsite, and as soon as they heard the sound of horse hooves, everyone stood up immediately. The bodyguards quickly spread out and stood under the big trees, the rocks on the ground, and the withered grass, forming a semi-arc that could be used for attack or retreat.

Su Ci quickly took the opportunity to sneak in and stood behind a big tree and grass near the edge.

Yang Yanzong sat on the horse, motionless, looking at the billowing smoke and dust in the distance.

The sound of horse hooves came quickly, and soon Su Ci could see the leaders of the cavalry. They were strong and fierce, and the leader was a middle-aged black-faced general with thick eyebrows and stern eyes. He looked very fierce. It was too hot, so he was not wearing armor. Like Yang Yanzong, he was wearing a black tight-sleeved suit with leather wrist guards. His eyes were as cold as lightning, and he had a condescending assessment and other things in him. In short, his eyes were very sharp and made people feel uncomfortable.

The two sides have not yet torn their faces apart, at least on the surface, and the latter did not bring many people with him, otherwise Yang Yanzong would not have let the other party get close.

The leading general stopped his horse, glanced at the opposite side like lightning, and returned his gaze to Yang Yanzong's face. He curled his lips and snorted coldly: "The man with the surname Yang, who left the army privately, can be regarded as a deserter."

Yang Yanzong sneered: "I haven't taken office yet."

He flicked the tip of his whip nonchalantly. The transfer was completed only after reporting and being registered. No matter whether it was Yang Yanzong or Su Di, they had only arrived at the military town for a few days and had not yet reported to the town office. Who were they trying to fool?

The two parties in the front were exchanging sharp words, testing each other's strength, but a young man in dark red clothes, who was standing at the far left of the same row as Liang Shen, was looking around.

When her eyes made contact with this person, Su Ci quickly turned sideways and hid behind a soldier next to her.

She had understood clearly that the dark-faced middle-aged general who was talking to Yang Yanzong was none other than Yang Yanzong's mortal enemy, the rapist named Liang.

The young man in dark red clothes was the lover who had an affair with the original owner.

The two wolf combination appeared at the same time. Su Ci held her breath, quickly adjusted her position, pulled her cloth helmet, half covered her face and lowered her head.

Before setting off, Su Ci specially brought a set of cloth armor that she had obtained with great difficulty. She smeared mud and dust on her entire face and hands, making her look gray and no different from the soldiers around her.

Yang Yanzong had fought in the southwest in his early years, and many of his trusted soldiers were from the southwest. They were short, thin and agile. Su Ci did not stand out among them. In such an environment, she did not dare to be left alone easily.

The young man's eyes fell on Chen's side at the first moment. He looked carefully and didn't see Su Ci. He looked back and forth among the soldiers anxiously, which attracted the attention of Liang Shen. While the latter was speaking, he also began to examine the mental state of the soldiers here quietly.

Two pairs of eyes swept back and forth over his head like radars. Su Ci looked at her nose and her heart, and the string in her heart was stretched to the limit.

Fortunately, the conversation between Xu Shen, Zhang Mou and Yang Yanzong was very short. After some probing back and forth, both sides achieved their goals. Finally, Zhang Mou said in a veiled way, "It's better to return to the team." Yang Yanzong said indifferently, "You know your limits." Then the two sides separated.

The former pulled the reins of his horse, turned around and led his men away, with smoke and dust billowing, and Yang Yanzong immediately ordered to move and find another camp.

Finally left!

Su Ci wiped her face and looked at Su Yan. Both sisters let out a long sigh.

This first brief but back-sweating encounter finally ended.

But this is not the end yet.

…

A large troop camp in a military town.

Liang Shen had actually guessed it long ago. This old rival who had been fighting with Yang Yanzong for many years had a very keen sense of touch, and the key should lie with the concubines.

Liang Shen narrowed his eyes: "It must be those girls from the Su family."

Life was not easy for the large army. Going into the mountains was the best option, but the water cart could not move and had to be abandoned on the outskirts on the first day. All the cow and sheep skins in the town were made into water bags overnight, but it was still a drop in the bucket.

This migration road is not easy!

Food and water are the source of life.

This is also the fundamental reason why he made a special trip today.

Yang Yanzong really has a trump card!

He had to kill Yang Yanzong to gain merit. Now that the tiger was in dire straits, when else would he be killed if not while he was weak? !

But at the same time, he must ensure that he gets hold of this trump card first.

The more than one hundred personal soldiers around Yang Yanzong have followed him for many years. If they had this special skill, they would have been promoted long ago. The two have been fighting for many years and are very familiar with each other.

It couldn't be Su Di and the Yang brothers.

Use the process of elimination, and whatever remains, no matter how impossible it is, will point directly to the truth!

Zhang Mou was surprised: "Impossible?" How could a little girl have such ability?

Liang Shen said firmly: "It must be true!"

Now the question is, what to do?

Liang Shen narrowed his eyes, the darkness of the night cast a thick shadow under his eyelashes, making his facial features look even sharper. After a moment he waved his hand, and his confidant immediately stepped forward, and he gave instructions like this.

…

Su Ci thus became the center of the fight.

A huge net was silently opened towards her trump card, and on the other side of the net was the lustful and vicious rapist Liang Shen.

Yang Yanzong also guessed it.

Perhaps this was part of his plan.

The bonfire was blazing, and it was already dark when they found a suitable campsite. Su Ci cleaned the wounds of Yang Yanzong and her father and was bandaging them when she heard Yang Yanzong say calmly, "Next, Liang Shenbi must first try to capture this person who is good at finding water and food."

During the day, Yang Yanzong and Liang Shen were observing each other quietly. Even though Liang Shen had made careful preparations in advance, Yang Yanzong still keenly noticed that some of the cavalrymen behind him had slightly dry and chapped lips, and some people at the back of the crowd were licking their lips unconsciously. There is a difference between the expressions of being dehydrated and not being dehydrated.

Su Ci: “…”

It was really a bolt from the blue. Before one crisis is over, another one comes!

But before Su Ci could speak, Yang Yanzong opened his eyes and glanced at her whose eyes widened instantly.

He said, “What’s the hurry?”

Su Ci blinked and asked, "Brother, what do you mean?"

It means literally that Su Ci has medical skills and survival skills, especially the latter, which is crucial at the moment. Even for normal considerations, Yang Yanzong would definitely protect her and would never push her out to take risks.

Therefore, Yang Yanzong said: "The bait must be changed."

Is this someone pretending to be Su Ci?

Su Yan, who came here to help her sister carry the basket, raised her hand without hesitation. It was her duty to protect her sister.

Su Ci pulled her aside and disagreed, "Sister!"

Su Yan said nothing and broke free from Su Ci's hand.

As the two sisters were struggling, just as Su Yan struggled to break free and raised her hands, a female voice suddenly sounded behind them.

"I'll do it!"

It was a very familiar voice, less gentle and dignified than usual, but more calm and decisive. It was Su Rong. She took a step forward and answered without hesitation, then she slowed down her voice, leaned forward and bowed dignifiedly, and whispered, "Master, my second sister is not suitable, let me do it."

Su Rong was recommending herself. Su Ci turned around in surprise. Su Rong was standing behind her with her skirt lowered. Yang Yanzong had already agreed, "Yes."

He raised his eyes and glanced at Su Rong lightly, then made the decision immediately.

Su Ci: “…”

She looked back from head to toe. When did this person come over? ? ?

When Yang Yanzong and his men were discussing matters, other people could not come over easily. Su Rong, Aunt Bai, Chen and other women always sat far away.

Yang Yanzong was sitting in front of Su Ci. From his angle, he could clearly see the whole process of Su Rong walking over from the bonfire, but he did not stop her at all. It was obvious that this was what he wanted.

Let Su Rong be Su Ci's substitute.

Moreover, his indifferent eyes were devoid of emotion, as if he was just arranging a very ordinary little thing.

Ouch, the plot hasn't even begun yet, and the hero and heroine are already in love and hatred with each other?

Su Ci wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Su Yan.

Su Ci turned around and her sister gave her a fierce look.

For Su Yan, this couldn't be better. From her perspective, of course she would take care of her own sister first. She didn't force Su Rong, Su Rong recommended herself.

Besides, when we are in the same team, we have to contribute when needed, right? You can't just do nothing and ask others to protect you, right?

Su Yan had been treating herself as a man all along the way, so she thought this was natural.

Su Yan pinched Su Ci hard, and Su Ci almost screamed. Oh sister, you got it wrong. She didn’t want to object, okay?

Forget it, forget it, it’s okay if she doesn’t say anything, right?

Su Ci rolled her eyes. When she turned around, she looked at Su Rong and they both smiled at each other.

Su Ci smiled, lowered her head and raised her eyebrows, then continued to cut the cotton rope.

Okay, her sister was right about one thing. Su Rong recommended herself, didn’t she?

A new problem has been solved, yay!

Next, I hope that the chances of meeting with them will be as few as possible, or preferably none at all, so that she can get through this smoothly.
