The western suburbs camp is backed by Jilong Mountain and has a forest on the south side. The terrain is dangerous and it is the most solid barrier of Jianzhou City.
Qi Moli was dressed in black, his figure as tall and straight as a pine tree. The setting sun slanting down on the top of the mountain shone on him, bringing with him an innate majesty and oppression.
After listening to the words of Su An, the deputy general of the right wing army, he remained silent for a long time and slowly walked back to the tent.
There was a lot of noise outside the tent, soldiers were shouting, horses were neighing, and the sound of swords and spears clashing could be heard continuously.
He stood with his hands behind his back in front of a topographic map, staring at the Snow Peak Mountain northwest of Longyin.
Before this, Long Yin and Han Lan had fought a great battle here, which lasted for two years. Although General Si Junshan narrowly won, he suffered heavy losses and he himself was shot by four arrows in a row by the opponent.
The opponent's continuous arrow fire is really powerful!
Han Lan originated from a grassland tribe. All the cavalrymen in his unit were skilled in archery and horse riding, and were always good at riding and shooting.
This kind of technical accumulation over the past hundred years is indeed not something that the Longyin Army can catch up with in just a few training sessions.
What's more, the newly made bows and arrows in their hands directly increased the military strength of Hanlan's soldiers by several times, and the morale of the soldiers was even stronger!
Qi Moli's eyes flashed with worry, and he instructed the person behind him:
"Mo Yun, ask Han Lan to find a way to retrieve one of their special bows and arrows!"
As the saying goes, if you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools!
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from outside the tent:
"General, there's a message from the capital."
"Come in and talk." Qi Moli lifted his robe and sat down, letting the messenger soldier into the tent.
"The Crown Prince said that there are censors in the court who want to accuse you of your willful and reckless behavior..."
Qi Moli didn't even raise his head after hearing this. His eyes were fixed on the Feiyan bow in his hand. He stopped the soldier and said,
"No problem, let them do whatever they want!"
Seeing this, the soldier hesitated and continued, "The prince also said that the second young lady of the Si family..."
Hearing these words, Qi Moli immediately put down the bow and arrow in his hand, frowned and asked:
"The second young lady of the Si family? What happened to her?"
Seeing the general so nervous, the soldier also became nervous and said, "The second young lady of the Si family was assassinated on Longxing Street today..."
"What did you say?" Qi Moli asked sternly with a cold light in his eyes.
How could that girl be assassinated? Weren't Bai Xi and Qing Chan guarding her?
"Yes, the second young lady of the Si family went to Longxing Street to check the shops, and she met the assassin..." Before the soldier who reported the news finished speaking, he saw his general suddenly stand up and walk out of the tent!
It was already past the hour of You, and a bonfire was lit on the training ground. The soldiers gathered together to repair their weapons.
Qi Moli strode out while calling Su An who was on the training ground, saying:
"I have something to do in the capital, so I have to go back first. You must remind the soldiers to remember that more sweat in the training grounds means less blood on the battlefield!
The archers on the right wing need to train harder."
After he finished speaking, he jumped onto the horse and whipped its butt loudly. The horse neighed loudly, raised a cloud of sand, and ran out of the western suburbs camp.
The sun sets faster in autumn, and Qi Moli used the moonlight to drive his horse at a rapid pace.
Qi Moli just wanted to return to the capital immediately. He had only been away from the capital for three days when such a thing happened?
He was anxious. A journey that usually took two hours had managed to take him to the outside of Ximing Gate of Jianzhou City half an hour earlier.
The moon is already at its zenith.
Si Jinxing returned to the general's mansion in the afternoon. After conducting a more comprehensive examination of Yan Fei's injuries, he placed her in the treatment room where the young master had lived.
She was lying on a reclining chair in the yard. Lu Zhu brought her a blanket and covered her with it, saying,
"Miss, if you don't want to sleep, let's go inside and lie down. It's very cold on this autumn night."
Si Jinxing looked at a corner and shook her head.
Not long after, Bai Xi got the news and came over and said:
“Princess, after the masked man woke up, he bit the poison in his mouth and crushed it. He is a deadly warrior!
The driver was just an ordinary driver in the city. He just took the money from the masked man and could not provide any useful information.
Si Jinxing sat up straight, a layer of frost covering her beautiful face. She looked at Bai Xi and said in a firm tone:
"You were stopped as you exited Dongping Street, which blocked your progress and gave the masked killer an opportunity to take advantage.
This means that the other party knew you were around me, so they deliberately split into two groups to kill me."
"Yes, the two people who stopped me obviously didn't want to kill me. They just wanted to buy me time to prevent me from rescuing you, Princess."
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing was speechless.
She thought of what Yan Fei said before she fell into a coma...
She stood up and walked towards the door, but then stopped and looked in the direction of the clinic.
The human heart is truly unpredictable.
But at this moment, a pair of footsteps came whistling, and then she fell into an embrace filled with cold air.
She screamed in surprise, but heard Lu Zhu and Bai Xi behind her both laughing softly.
The scent of ebony and agarwood on the man gradually became clearer.
He is back.
Si Jinxing curved her lips and smiled lightly, snuggling quietly in the man's arms, but she could hear his heart beating unusually fast, so she quickly looked up.
She saw that his hair was messy due to the wind, and the expression on his face was more flustered than she had ever seen before. His bloodshot eyes were staring at her as if she would disappear in the next second.
He... knew what happened in Longxing Street today?
Si Jinxing struggled slightly, stood on tiptoe, reached out to touch his face, and said distressedly:
"Qi Moli, I'm here, look, I'm fine."
It would have been fine if she didn't speak, but as soon as she spoke, the man suddenly held her tightly in his arms again, making it impossible for her to breathe.
What Si Jinxing didn't know was that when Qi Moli rushed to the outside of her yard just now and heard her voice, he felt a strong sour and swollen feeling in his heart.
It has been a long, long time since he cared about anyone in this world.
Others called him Jiu Yama Luo, saying that he was inhuman, that he had killed people like crazy and was full of violence, but he didn't care!
He was alone, and those things were nothing but clouds to him.
But now, he has concerns.
Qi Moli lowered his head and looked at the little girl in his arms who was struggling with her arms raised hard, and curled the corners of his lips. What a restless little thing!
His heart softened, and he loosened his grip on her. He saw her breathing softly, her cherry-like mouth slightly open, her delicate red lips glistening with a shimmering sheen...
Qi Moli's eyes darkened, and he lifted the little girl in his arms into the air and strode towards the room.
