Chu Li ran over quickly, "What's wrong with you?"
Chu Dichi held his head, his tall body swaying a little, "I... maybe it's because of the fatigue these days... It's okay, I just need to rest for a while, it's more important to find General Qin first."
Chu Li supported him and sat down on the steps next to him.
Now, they are in Yuncheng, Mohuai Prefecture.
At the beginning, Chu Dichi gave 28 cities in the three states of Nanman, Mohuai, and has recaptured seven cities in the past two days.
The Southern Barbarians were in disarray and were still retreating.
If this trend continues, all lost territory will be recovered within a month.
"There are people below looking for Qin Muyu. I can't help much. But you, you haven't even had a good sleep in the past few days."
Chu Li stood beside him and rubbed his temples to relieve the pain.
Chu Dichi held her waist tiredly and leaned against her belly, "I'm not tired."
"Seeing how worried Xiaojiu is about General Qin, I am also worried about him. After all, he is your best friend."
Chu Li's eyes were slightly heavy, and he couldn't help but think of that night when Chu Yeli personally stabbed the dagger into his chest...
I don't know if he is alive or dead now...
Qin Muyu couldn't be found either.
Her thoughts became more complicated.
Qin Muyu, where are you?
Chu Dichi held his forehead and raised his eyelids. Seeing that she was distracted, he couldn't help but hum twice and felt dizzy.
"Uncle, let me help you get some sleep!"
"It's okay. It's more important to find General Qin... um..."
"Don't force yourself, just listen to me!"
"But……"
"I will sleep with you and I won't go anywhere."
Chu Li had just helped Chu Dichi up. The man leaned weakly against her neck, and looked like he was about to faint. A frightened figure rushed over:
"Master, good news, the whereabouts of General Qin has been found!"
Chu Dichi stood up straight immediately: "What?!"
"Where is he?"
Jingying said, "Don't worry, Miss Xie. Commander Xiao wants to exchange the Nanman Princess for General Qin, but this requires the master's approval."
Chu Li looked at Chu Dichi.
Chu Dichi's face brightened instantly: "Of course I agree! As long as we can rescue General Qin, we will do whatever it takes. Immediately arrange for people to release the Nanman Princess and exchange for hostages!"
Chu Li breathed a sigh of relief, "Uncle, you are so kind."
"Shall we go to bed then?"
"You go to sleep. I'll go find Qin Muyu so you don't have to worry about him all the time. You can rest assured."
"Xiaojiu's words... really suit my taste. In the current war, military commanders are precious and cannot be destroyed. I really like what you said, haha!"
Jingying scratched his head.
Why does the master's smile look a little... sinister?
Based on his years of experience, someone is bound to be in trouble at this time.
oh.
He is the unlucky one.
He was sent to feed the war horses.
-
When Jingying was holding a large bundle of hay and preparing to feed the horse, he saw Chongfeng riding past on his horse, followed by a group of infantrymen, running in unison, looking particularly imposing and majestic.
He refused.
"Chongfeng!"
"Why are we both the master's confidants, you lead the army to capture the city, but I have to feed the horses?"
Chong Feng pulled the reins and looked at him sideways: "If you don't have a horse in the battle, you can't move forward, just like a good cook can't cook without rice. Horses are very important."
That makes sense.
Jingying was convinced.
-
Tuoba Mingyue relented and was finally willing to reveal Qin Muyu's whereabouts. In exchange, she and the captured soldiers were all released.
The two sides reached an agreement.
Tuoba Mingyue was freed, and he put the letter on the tip of the arrow and shot it at a tree trunk several meters away.
call out!
Finally, he took a look at Xiao Yexing, the leader of the generals, and turned around: "Let's go!"
The sound of horse hooves faded away, and the soldier ran a few meters away, took back the letter, and presented it with both hands:
"Commander Xiao."
Xiao Yexing picked it up and glanced at it. "Give it to Miss Xie. Everyone, follow me and pursue the victory. We must recover all the lost territory within one month."
Tuoba Mingyue, I will ask you to run for half an hour first.
"yes!"
The other side.
Tuoba Mingyue had just left for half an hour when he received an urgent report from the soldiers saying that pursuers were coming from behind and if he didn't escape quickly, he might be captured again.
escape?
This word is used in a very awkward way.
Back then, when they captured the twenty-eight cities in the three states of Mohuai, they brought troops to garrison there. How arrogant they were, and now they are in such a mess.
What was even more unexpected was that the witchcraft army, which the royal family had secretly researched for six years, would be defeated by Chu Li.
She underestimated Chu Li!
"Let's retreat!"
But it is definitely not an escape.
She will not give back the territory she has obtained easily!
Night.
Tuoba Mingyue led his men to retreat to Lancheng at full speed, and met A Yu who was beside Chu Yeli.
At that time, Ah Yu's face was ashen, her clothes were wrinkled and stained with blood, and she hadn't slept properly for several days. "Princess, my master...he..."
I'm afraid I can't make it.
Tuoba Mingyue's face turned extremely pale. He quickly ran into the army and saw Chu Yeli lying in the tent, his face pale and silent.
"Brother Yeli!"
I rushed forward, but was touched by a cold and stiff hand.
She slowly stretched out her trembling fingers, not quite daring to touch his neck...and could barely feel his pulse.
Her eyes turned red instantly, half with anger and half with hatred.
Chu Yeli, why do you do this!
Why bother!
Is it worth it for a woman?
Tuoba Mingyue held his cold hand and slowly lowered her head, resting it on the back of his hand. Silent tears, sobs in her throat, her current embarrassment, and the hatred in her heart were all intertwined.
"You were the one I admired the most when I was young. I will not let you die. You are not the one who should die!"
The general reported in a panic:
"Princess, the Chu army is chasing us, we have to retreat as soon as possible!"
"No retreat!"
Tuoba Mingyue raised his head, his eyes bloodshot: "Gather all the troops and defend Lancheng to the death. Either we live together, or the entire population of Lancheng will be buried with us!"
-
Chu Li got the exact address and searched for a long time in the city. He finally found Qin Muyu in an inconspicuous secret basement in a remote village.
At that time, he was huddled in a corner in a mess, trembling all over.
"Muyu!"
"Don't touch me!"
"Muyu, it's me!"
As soon as Chu Li's hand landed on his arm, it was waved away. She didn't expect his reaction to be so big, but when she saw the panic in his eyes, her heart was stabbed.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"I……"
Qin Muyu's body couldn't stop shaking, and the scene in his mind replayed that of himself being tied up, with many hands wandering over his body...
On the face, waist, legs...
The strong scent of powder filled my nose, and it was like falling into a bottomless abyss, without sunlight. Those laughters were like a curse, echoing in my ears...
"Muyu?"
Chu Li was anxious, "Don't scare me!"
Qin Muyu suddenly avoided her and said, "I, I'm fine. Maybe it's because I haven't seen the light for a long time, so it's a bit dazzling and I can't get used to it for a while."
Chu Li looked at him worriedly, but just as she stepped forward, he stepped back.
"Muyu..."
"Ahri, don't come near me, I'm dirty."
