After some encouragement, the military spirit is invigorated, and the unity is united.

Qin Nuo returned to the camp.

As soon as he stepped in the door, he stopped in his feet.

Pei Tuo didn't know when he woke up, his bright eyes were looking here.

"Is it bothering you?" Qin Nuo entered the tent, put the ocarina on the table, and asked with a smile.

"No, the emperor played very well, and the promises afterwards are also touching." Pei Tuo stared at the flute and said in a low voice.

In a severely injured state, his attitude became unexpectedly mild. Qin Nuoduo glanced at him.

Pei Tuo couldn't even look at him. He felt that the emperor was weak and useless. Later, because of the rumor, he had more opinions on him. This Qin Nuo has always been aware of.

I thought he would disagree. Qin Nuo touched his chin and approached him, "It always makes people feel insincere. You won't be taunting me to take people's hearts in your stomach?"

On weekdays, it’s impossible for him to make this kind of joke with Pei Tuo. The two people are really not close to that point, but at this moment, they are in a camp, lying on a bed... Uh... it’s definitely not this. The reason is that Qin Nuo feels that the relationship is really close.

Or the brief contact after the reunion, he felt that Pei Tuo had also grown a lot.

Pei Tuo laughed: "Although the minister is dull, he can still understand people's true intentions. The emperor's determination is indeed admired by the minister."

After a pause, he continued: "Before the minister was rude and disrespectful to the emperor."

Qin Nuo was surprised: "Speaking like this, it really doesn't look like your style."

Pei Tuo was silent for a moment before he said: "He was right. I was too naive before. When I look at the things in this world, I always pride myself on my aptitude and righteousness."

Qin Nuo didn't ask who he was, he knew well.

"It's not that simple in this world. It's either black or white. It's not that you can settle everything with a courage and passion."

"Before the minister's attitude was so rude, but the emperor never minded that, for this alone, the emperor deserves my admiration. At least, the minister can't treat a person who looks down on me with such a plain mentality."

"Not to mention that now my life is saved by the emperor."

Qin Nuo really wanted to look differently, to this guy.

The bonfire was pulsating, and it was indeterminate, drawing out the outline of Pei Tuo Yinglang's facial features. For the first time, Qin Nuo felt that this guy's appearance was somewhat similar to that of Pei Ling.

"You don't need to say such things as saving my life. Don't forget, you saved my life on the road in Nanyingfang before."

When he was assassinated for the first time in his life, Pei Tuo, who was passing by, saved him.

Although the assassination was because he had prevented the disaster for Pei Ling, he didn't need to be too grateful. But then I think again, Pei Ling would be assassinated that time. It was an assassin from Qin Ze. In the final analysis, he killed Wise Concubine Ge...

Was it really complicated for Pei Ling?

Qin Nuo lay down on the bed, he had already returned to men's clothing, and during the day, he also asked Yan Chang to help separate the hay under the bed to make a certain distance.

But Pei Tuo still seemed a little embarrassed, couldn't help but move to the side, as if it was affecting the wound, grinning.

Qin Nuo said unhappily, "Don't move, or the wound will open."

Pei Tuo gave a hum and stopped moving.

After a while, Qin Nuo turned his head and said: "Pei Tuo..."

"Ok?"

"Don't call a courtier, call me son."

"……Got it."

The two young men lay side by side in the tent, listening to the sound of a blizzard roaring outside and the occasional sound of horseshoes.

Even in the blizzard weather, everyone did not slack in the slightest. Yan Chang, Yao Xingxu, and Chen Changan each led a small group of soldiers, taking turns patrolling outside.

Qin Nuo could not sleep for a long time.

Neither he nor Pei Tuo mentioned the embarrassing confession before.

Of course, in Qin Nuo's eyes, this was purely an oolong joke, and it was not regarded as the same thing. Consciously say it will be fine. But looking at Pei Tuo's reaction just now, it seems that he still cared a little. The broken-hearted teenager is really a headache. Before, Yan Chang said that this guy is very nervous...

After two days of entanglement, Pei Tuo was finally able to get up, and everyone immediately started on their way.

They can't stay in one place for a long time. In fact, if it wasn't for Pei Tuo's serious injury, they would definitely not stay in this camp for three days, risking being discovered by chasing soldiers.

Steering horse to gallop north, this is the route agreed upon after repeated discussions in the past three days.

Xiangdong's intention must have been seen through by Beishuo soldiers and horses, and Xiangnan will face many passes and ambushes. Simply heading north, there may be a glimmer of life, at least there is enough buffer time.

The crowd drove north for three days, and Blizzard covered their tracks. Choosing a cave or a camp abandoned by Beishuo herdsmen to stay overnight in the middle is a surprise and riskless journey.

According to Yan Chang's estimation, they should have been near Panluo City in Beishuo. This is a medium-sized city in the south of Beishuo.

Since the founding of the country and proclaiming the emperor, Beishuo gradually began to imitate the Central Plains to build a city and gather the people. Many cities have been built large and small. During the spring and summer seasons, herders graze and wander around, and in the cold winter, most of them return to live in the city to escape the snowstorm.

In the twelfth lunar month of the winter, those who still insist on grazing and hunting outside, most of them are the low-level civilians, who have not accumulated enough food and forage to survive the winter.

As we approach the city, there will be more people scattered outside, and Qin Nuo and his party become more cautious.

Yan Chang arranged for the horse to search for pedestrians in a wider area, and even proposed a plan to walk day and night.

That morning, Tan Ma rushed down the cliff and brought a message.

A group of cavalrymen from Beishuo appeared in the road in front of the mountains and forests. The number was not large, fifty people up and down, but they were walking in a hurry and were coming all the way north.

Chen Changan suggested: "Let's go to the side for a while. I will take someone to clean up the traces on the ground."

"Wait, there are only fifty people on the other side. Rather than avoiding it, it's better to kill it and make a vote?" Yan Chang was more active.

"But don't you know that they don't have another team to follow? And if one or two get rid of it, wouldn't it be exposing?" Chen Changan has a strong temperament, and he is here with no negligence.

"It's not enough to fight fast, do a big vote." Yan Chang's eyes beamed.

No wonder they are full of confidence, and dozens of people here today are all elite. No matter how strong Beishuo's cavalry is, it is impossible for any team to be top-notch.

Qin Nuo glanced at everyone's expressions, and most of them were eager to try.

Why is it so urgent, of course, because people are poor and short-sighted!

After these days of escaping, the people in the team can still support, but the horses are badly worn out. Now there are several people who need to ride together. Continuing, the loss of horsepower will be even greater, and there is an urgent need for supplementary power.

There are also food and medicine, which are all too much wasted.

The group of fifty Beishuo cavalrymen who appeared in the wilderness in front of them fell in the eyes of this group of hungry wolves. They were almost fifty walking sweets.

In the end, Qin Nuo made a final decision: "Prepare to do something and capture some soldiers. You can also ask about the previous battle and Beishuo's current state affairs."

He has been concerned about the final situation of the battle outside Hengdao City.

The emperor spoke, and Chen Changan could only agree. Everyone quickly moved to the link to discuss tactics.

It is not very scientific to kill directly. In case you get rid of one or two, there are endless troubles. If you want to catch it all at once, the best way is to choose outsmart...

****

In the vast expanse of snow, the tall coniferous pines are densely covered.

A team of cavalry was walking on the road. The snow under feet has not reached the horse's knees, and when walked, a puff of snow poured down from the trees from time to time.

The leader complained from time to time, "This hell weather, I have to come out to deliver letters."

"It's all the big Zhou princesses who do not know what to do. I heard that several cities in the south have been searched, but no one is seen."

"The Greedy Wolf Camp is really rubbish, and a charming princess can also be chased down. Fortunately, each of them usually has their noses higher than the sky. It is fucking bullshit to say that Beishuo is the best elite!"

"Ha, according to me, shouldn't it be Li Qianjun who saw the princess's beautiful birth and gave them to the place...hehe...afterwards, it's not easy to deal with each other, so they just claim to be lost?"

The topic turned in an obscene direction. After talking for a while, one person said with emotion, "I heard that the princess has a beautiful face, but I don't know who can catch it? It's a pity that she should have been a queen empress..."

"Let’s stop talking, these treacherous and shameless Southerners should be killed one by one. They are treacherous and vicious. It is clear that our emperor was going to meet his relatives, and was assassinated by these thieves. One day I rushed into the gate and sent them. All the princess princesses and the empress empresses are brought to the army."

"But," an veteran's voice lowered, "how did I hear, Your Majesty, he was suddenly given to him by the thunder of the nine heavens..."

"Yes, I have also heard that there is no such master in the Zhou Dynasty, who can do assassinations, your Majesty, but your Majesty has been invincible in the army since he was a teenager."

"Shut up! General Murong has already given an order. Anyone who discusses this matter should be killed. Do you want to die?"

The team was silent for a while, and finally the veteran smiled and changed the subject: "It will be Panluo City soon. I heard that there are many Orchid in Panluo City. You can leave after two days."

"I'm still thinking about Orchid, hurry up on the road, don't you see that the sky is overcast again? Don't delay spending the night outside for too long."

A group of people accelerated their speed, but suddenly there was a sound of footsteps ahead. Soon, a young man appeared in front of him carrying a tattered camp.

He seemed to hear the sound of horses hoof from behind, and quickly retreated to the side of the road.

When a group of Beishuo soldiers passed by, they stopped their horses and the leader asked: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The boy has a handsome appearance. He looked like he was only thirteen or four years old, and his eyes were red when he heard the words, "Adult, the younger one is a herder near Panluo City. The weather was bad before, and his parents said they would go back to the city. The sheep is gone, let me first look at the tent and the remaining cattle and sheep. I didn't expect it to snow that night and the remaining cattle and sheep were frozen to death. The villain can only..."

The boy's cheeks were flushed with cold, and his shirt was torn. Only the tattered tent against the shoulders barely worth two copper plates.

This kind of low-level poor, Beishuo soldiers have seen many more, which is not unusual. One of the soldiers asked casually, "Then you have been outside these days, have you ever seen a beautiful woman in a long dress of the Central Plains, and a group of soldiers?"

There was no hope at all, but he never expected that the boy would show a reminiscence expression, and then nodded, "I think I have seen it."

what? Everyone was shocked, and the leading soldier shouted: "When did you see it? Speak immediately."

The young man was taken aback, shrank and took a step back, whispering: "Just now on the road, a few cavalry masters passed by, and there was a young lady in a golden dress in the middle, who looked like a fairy."

"It's just that they ran very fast, and the villain didn't see it clearly."

A group of soldiers from Beishuo exchanged surprise glances. Could it be that Princess Da Zhou's escape team really chose to go north, so that the great credit would fall on them in no time?

The soldiers who had been chasing before had already said it was clear that there were not a few people left beside the princess, and all of them were injured. With fifty of them, they can definitely win.

Following the direction of the boy's guidance, a group of people hurriedly rushed.

Crossing a hill, saw six or seven horses scattered on the flat ground in front of me. A dozen cavalrymen were standing on the periphery. In the middle was a woman in a golden dress. Although the distance was far away, she also saw her graceful and noble figure. .

It's really Princess Da Zhou! And this group of soldiers had brightly dressed Great Zhou cavalry.

The leading soldier no longer doubted, everyone was almost stunned by the sudden happiness.

The Dazhou soldiers who looked at the opposite spot found themselves, and they drew out their swords and prepared to fight.

More than a dozen remnants were defeated, and even the horses were not complete...The leading Beishuo soldier waved his hand proudly, and everyone could not wait to rush out.

The condescending charge is what Beishuo cavalry is best at and most powerful.

However, this arrow-like charge was abruptly interrupted in the middle of the charge.

Why is there a pit in this ground? !

As more than a dozen soldiers in front fell to the ground and screamed, the soldiers in the rear hurriedly restrained their horses, but the condescending charge could stop at any point.

Suddenly, a group of people rolled in the snow like dumplings.

Looking at the flat snow surface, there is a fractured valley several meters deep below.

Just as the mourning was everywhere, more than a dozen cavalry rushed out on both sides. He hacked and killed those who had escaped by fluke. The soldiers who had surrounded the princess also rushed forward to kill the unlucky ones who had fallen in the snow pit trying to crawl out.

A small encounter ended with Fang's complete victory on Monday, annihilating more than 30 opponents and capturing more than a dozen people, and the price paid was only three minor injuries.

Chen Changan took the confiscated spoils with people. More than 30 horses were brought out in good condition, and the rest were slaughtered on the spot, and then pushed into the snow pit and buried.

There are also the corpses of Beishuo soldiers who died in the battle, buried in this deep pit.

Qin Nuo stood by, watching Yao Xingxu change his clothes with a look of mourning, and then stuffed the gorgeous women's dress with gold threads and beads into the bag.

The dangerous job of changing into women's clothing as bait, of course, couldn't be done by the emperor himself. Eventually, under the coercion and lure of everyone, Yao Xingxu wore this suit with a sad face.

Recalling Yao Xingxu's previous expressions, it was this posture to force Liang to be a prostitute.

After the battle, Yan Chang poked his head out from behind, and the faces of the soldiers who had just deceived Beishuo were full of luck. It wasn't because of the deception that succeeded, but Qin Nuo asked him to pretend to be a princess at the beginning.

Who makes his face look the most delicate.

Fortunately, someone needed to lure Beishuo's team into a trap. His baby face was naturally more suitable for this job, and he was lucky enough to escape.

Well, Yao Xingxu's appearance, but remember it carefully, you can laugh at the northern border for a lifetime.

In a short period of time, the interrogation of the captured Beishuo cavalry had also been completed. Most of them were reluctant to speak and were cut off. Only two said some news, but there was not much use. These were originally Beishuo's ordinary lower-level soldiers, and it was impossible to know important news.

But from the words of a group of prisoners, everyone can be sure that the previous battle outside Hengdao City did not last long, because Pingxi Camp successfully responded to the Great Zhou soldiers and returned to the city. Beishuo's reinforcements can only look at the city and sigh.

It is not suitable to attack the city in snowy weather, the ten-thousand-miles city collapsed again, and now the Beishuo army can only retreat. Yan Chang analyzed the next move and smiled and comforted Qin Nuo, "The emperor doesn't need to worry. If you want to start the war again, you have to start the spring and snow."

After the beginning of the spring, Beishuo’s political situation is only afraid of changes. After this battle, the Mu's Royal court has suffered a great loss. The surrounding tribes and dependent countries have been severely oppressed by the Royal court over the years. When encountering opportunities, it is inevitable that they will be different. thought.

Regarding the battle of Hangu Pass, Qin Nuo temporarily relieved his heart. Although he knew that Beishuo could not fight on the battlefield, he was holding back the anger, so he could only continue to pursue his "Princess of the Great Zhou" more vigorously.

The crowd distributed horses and trophies. And checked the carry-on luggage of these soldiers.

Soon, a volume of official letters was found on the leading soldier, bearing the seal of Beishuo Zhenguo General Mansion on it.

The content of the official letter is very simple. All cities and tribes that have received this official letter are required to cooperate with the search soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court to search for the princesses of Great Zhou and the remnants who fled. If arrested, the soldier can receive 100 gold at the first level, and the capture doubles alive, while the person captured by Princess Great Zhou can receive 10,000 gold and be crowned immediately.

The Zhenguo Bingma in Beishuo sent seven or eight teams to the east and north, to the various city tribes, and to convey news about the pass. This is just one of them, just passed the two cities in the south, and now continue to the north to Panluo City.

"But it's really going to lay a net." Qin Nuo gave a low laugh.

He looked at Beishuo prisoners who had been killed, and looked down at the paperwork that Yan Chang had sent to him. There is even a brief map following this letter. Now it is what Qin Nuo and the others urgently need. His location was only a short distance from Panluo City.

Suddenly, a strange idea came to Qin Nuo's mind.

"Why don't we go to this Panluo City?"

Hearing the emperor's words, Yan Chang was startled, his eyes suddenly burst into light: "The son means..."

"Always staying in the wild and fleeing is no way. If we continue, we will become savages." Qin Nuo smiled.

This plan is extremely bold, but thinking about it, it seems very feasible.

Disguised as Beishuo’s messenger cavalry, he took a trip to Panluo City. Not only was he able to listen to the news and take a break, but also, Yan Chang looked back at the back. In fact, Pei Tuo’s injury has never recovered. He continued to follow the team and refused to complain at all, but his pale face and the blood oozing from his abdomen clearly showed what kind of pain he was enduring.

This is also Qin Nuo's worries, Pei Tuo's physical strength, it is impossible to sustain another operation. It's better to take a chance to go to Panluo City to take a good rest and change the wound medicine.

The soldiers in the call were soldiers and horses of the General’s Mansion of Zhen Guo. They have been stationed in ten-thousand-miles city for many years, and they have few contacts with Panluo City. In this season, because of the snow-covered mountains outside, there are not many exchanges between Beishuo cities. It is unlikely that a person in his own group will reveal a flaw.

Just rest for two or three days...

All of them are brave young people, the more they think about it, the more temptation they are, and finally the final decision is made.

Everyone moved quickly, took off the leather jackets and armor from the soldiers of Beishuo, and then changed their horses and bags.

Then the corpses of the soldiers and horses of Beishuo were buried together in a deep pit, covered with mud and sprinkled with snow. It was determined that there would be no traces before the snow melted.

The traces of the battlefield were thoroughly cleaned up, and a group of people rode on the horses and began to move northward.
