Detailed information about the northbound team finally reached Mo Qiandai and Mo Yonglin.

Mo Yonglin was greatly surprised when he heard that there were only three hundred guards accompanying him.

“So little?”

Normally speaking, when a prince of a country travels, especially to the crisis-ridden northern border, a thousand guards are considered few.

The spy nodded respectfully, "General, Major General, I have been following them day and night for three days and have not found any other forces lurking in the dark, but those guards obey orders and are undoubtedly elite."

Mo Yonglin frowned and looked at his father, "Dad, no matter what, three hundred people are too few. Could it be that Qiao Zhongguo left some tricks for his son?"

Mo Qiandai had a gloomy brow and was also filled with doubts.

At this time, the spy quickly added: "Not only that, there is also a baby girl in the team, who is inseparable from Qiao Tianjing. She should be Qiao Zhongguo's young daughter."

"What?"

Mo Yonglin suddenly raised his voice when he heard this, his face full of disbelief, but he quickly reacted and said angrily:

"Dad, this is definitely Qiao Zhongguo provoking us!"

The war in the north is imminent and the epidemic has not been eradicated, but Qiao Zhongguo actually asked Qiao Tianjing to bring his young daughter with him. What does this mean?

With such a blatant provocation, are you sure they don't dare to take action?

Compared to Mo Yonglin's anger, Mo Qiandai frowned and murmured, "Is Qiao Zhongguo trying to provoke me by using his own daughter?"

Mo Qiandai has always looked up to Qiao Zhongguo, trying to avoid him from underestimating his enemy and making careless decisions, but he really couldn't figure out what Qiao Zhongguo's intention was in bringing his young daughter from the capital.

Did he just find a random girl to be the scapegoat?

"Dad, since it is true that Qiao Tianjing and his group only brought 300 people, then I should go there."

"If we can capture Qiao Tianjing and that little girl together, it will be very helpful to us, whether it is to contain Qiao Zhongguo or to sacrifice him in front of the battle line, and it can also avenge my brother!"

At this point, Mo Yonglin had already foreseen the scene of Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Jiaojiao's bodies being exposed on the city wall, and he couldn't wait any longer.

Mo Qiandai pondered for a while, and finally nodded slowly.

The imperial edict had already been received, so Yonglin had to go there just for show, but there were some things he had to say.

After the scout went down, Mo Qiandai said, "Yonglin, the king's move may be harmful to your life, so you must act separately from King Beigui."

"Once you notice something unusual, don't hesitate, retreat quickly, this trip will be in vain. With my father behind you, the king can't hold you accountable!"

"As for King Beigui, you don't have to worry about it. Dad will arrange some personnel in the team and try to keep him in Yong Dynasty forever!"

Seeing that his father had planned so much for him, Mo Yonglin felt sad and bitter, and he promised again and again: "Dad, I will never be greedy for merit and will definitely come back safely!"

He couldn't let his father suffer the pain of seeing his child die before him again...

Mo Qiandai nodded comfortingly, and then said in a deep voice: "Please ask King Beigui to come over, this matter should be dealt with as soon as possible..."

Wuding City.

Qiao Diyi is reporting the news to Qiao Zhongguo.

"Dad, Uncle Qiao has received instructions to make sure that Mo Qiandai's spies have a chance to sneak in. Uncle Thirteen has led his men and is waiting for his son to go there."

Qiao Zhongguo's face showed deep meaning when he heard this, and when his eyes fell on Qiao Diyi, there was a hint of emotion in his eyes.

Four months is not a long time, but the second kid seems like a different person.

I used to think that Lao Er's personality was similar to his, but now I see that he was taught by Lao Da himself, and his style of doing things is more like Lao Da's! ..

"Second Brother, I'm leaving this matter entirely to you. You must do a great job and don't let down Lao Da's expectations of you."

Qiao Zhongguo raised his hand and patted Qiao Diyi on the shoulder, speaking in a gentle voice.

Qiao Diyi nodded heavily, his eyes firm.

"Dad, don't worry, I already know what's going on!"

Seeing this, Qiao Zhongguo raised the corner of his mouth and suddenly kicked him.

"Go away! You've even installed it yourself! Get out of here!"

Qiao Diyi covered his leg and cried out "ouch", his aura instantly collapsed. But he didn't dare to talk back to his father, so he could only mutter to himself and go out timidly.

Qiao Zhongguo waited until Qiao Diyi's back was out of sight before he cursed him in a low voice, "stinky boy", but his words were full of love and satisfaction.

He lowered his eyes again and looked at the desk, where the letter sent by Qiao Tianjing a few days ago was still spread out.

The smile on Qiao Zhongguo's face faded slightly.

The boss and Jiaojiao also have a tough battle to fight, so Shen Yuanbai... should go too.

The fate of everyone is now a mystery. When it will be cleared up depends on personal efforts and choices!

Two days later.

Mo Qiandai called his deputy general, secretly selected the soldiers, and issued a secret order.

That night, two thousand people split into two groups and walked in the dark upstream of Wuding City.

Qiao Bo had been guarding the upper reaches with his elite troops for more than four months. During this period, the soldiers from Jiaocheng had never come to harass them. Under the calm weather, everyone was somewhat "lax".

As night fell, the North was still very cold in April. A fire was lit and people sat around in groups of three or four, talking and laughing, "completely defenseless."

On the Jiaocheng side, the captain leading the team was named Xiang Wenqi. Seeing the other side being so lazy, he couldn't help but sneer.

After the ten centurions under him investigated, they gathered together.

"Boss, I've checked. There are only three or four hundred people. They are not a big threat!"

Xiang Wenqiu nodded upon hearing this, and led everyone to lie in wait patiently.

It was not until the night was darker and the dew was heavier, when most of the Yong soldiers on the opposite side had fallen asleep and the soldiers on night watch were yawning, that Xiang Wenqiu gave the order in a stern voice:

"The general's order is for us to rush to Wuding City to find out the real situation. Since it is a surprise attack, we must not let the news leak out. We must surround and kill them and end the battle quickly!"

The centurions nodded repeatedly.

The next moment, the order was given and the rope was thrown.

The Jiaocheng soldiers appeared "unexpectedly". The night watch soldiers vaguely saw the figures and immediately shouted in panic: "Enemy attack!"

Chaos suddenly broke out in the birch forest, and the sound of fighting cut through the night sky and could be heard far away.

At the same time, more than a thousand people several miles away saw the bright fire here, and immediately crossed the river quietly in the dark and headed south.

They were led by Mo Yonglin and Shen Yuanbai, and were going to capture Shen Yuanling's elite troops.

In the birch forest here, Qiao Bo stood up from the tent, with a sharp light flashing between his brows.

It's finally here!

According to the Second Young Master's instructions, the troops stationed upstream had already withdrawn to only about 300 people. Seeing the Northern Army coming in full force, Job held a big knife and covered the rear while "exclaiming":

"Retreat! Retreat quickly! The Northern Army is attacking, go back and get reinforcements!"

Xiang Wenqiu would not allow the Yong soldiers to escape, so he shouted at his subordinates: "Surround them! Not a single one is allowed to leave!"

"yes!"

The soldiers from Jiaocheng rushed forward with their swords drawn. Seeing the Yong soldiers in panic, they were overjoyed and were about to start a massacre.

Suddenly, a dense crowd of figures stood up in the darkness ahead, and someone grabbed hold of Yong Bing who was fleeing.

When Xiang Wenqi saw this scene from afar, his heart skipped a beat and his expression changed drastically!

At this moment, someone came running out of the darkness, shouting, "Surround them all! No one is allowed to leave!"

The voice is clear and he doesn't sound very old.

Qiao Bo blocked the sword swung by Xiang Wenqiu and grinned when he heard the words.

Hey, the second young master is so mean, he always uses other people's words!
