In desperation, Qi Yuxuan had no choice but to let go of the war horse and let him go. If this dark horse is lucky, he might be able to catch up with the Pingxi army camp by himself.

On one side, Xu Ziyu and Qi Yuxuan had already solved the troubles of the assassins and started to head towards Liancheng, while on the other side, the Pingxi Army's camp was in chaos because of General Qi's disappearance.

When Qi Yuxuan left, he greeted Wu Duan, but when Wu Duan learned that Qi Yuxuan had not returned the next morning, he immediately felt bad.

Qi Yuxuan is a very responsible person. He said that he would be back before dawn the next day, and he would definitely not show up unless there was an accident!

Wu Duan blocked the news almost immediately. Although the Pingxi Army was strictly disciplined, the coach suddenly disappeared, and no matter what, the news could not be allowed to spread.

Although the attack of the foreigners was repelled this time, their ambitions would never disappear. Moreover, through Li Lian, he dug out several foreign spies from the Pingxi Army, but he could not guarantee that all the details would be captured. It's been cleaned up, and for safety's sake, only messages can be blocked.

He quietly found Prince Anping. Although Wu Duan looked down on his character, at this time, apart from Qi Yuxuan, he was the only one with the highest status. No matter what, he could not hide this matter from him.

Although Li Xiaolin is a scumbag in terms of love, he still has the consciousness of being a prince. After he learned the news of Qi Yuxuan's disappearance, he immediately sent his own bodyguards to look for them. These people were all given to him or trained by those who were given to him by the emperor's brother, and they were absolutely reliable.

When he got up early in the morning, the army set off normally. Wu Duan only informed a few confidants and lieutenants about the disappearance of the general, and then released the news that the general was occasionally feeling the cold, which covered the general's absence on horseback.

Wu Duan tried his best to slow down the army's travel. Fortunately, the army returned victoriously this time, so his little move was not discovered, except that some people may wonder why the distance traveled today is only two-thirds of the past. , but I'm not in a hurry anyway, and I don't care much.

Li Xiaolin sent his bodyguards out early, and when they came back in the afternoon, they brought back very bad news.

"This was found in the dense forest more than ten miles away from the camp." Li Xiaolin handed the arrow in his hand to Wu Duan.

Wu Duan's eyelids jumped, he took the arrow and observed it carefully, frowning.

Shi Tao also came over and took a few glances, then shook his head gently: "There is no mark, so it's hard to judge."

"Anyway, it is certain that the general will be attacked." Wu Duan made a decision.

No one objected to this.

Wu Duan took a deep breath: "What do you think, General, he..."

"Of course the general is still alive!" Shi Tao first shouted loudly.

"Nonsense!" Wu Duan gave him a white look: "Of course I know that the general is still alive. If an assassin from a foreign nation assassinated the general, he would like to let everyone know immediately. How could he hide his body? Prove that the general is still alive."

Shi Tao touched his head embarrassingly and stopped talking.

"I mean, that dense forest is so huge that it stretches for thousands of miles. This is the largest forest in the northwest. Unless the entire Pingxi Army is sent in, it is impossible to search for that forest. "

"But the news of the general's disappearance can't be revealed, right?" Li Xiaolin said, shaking the paper fan gently.

Wu Duan glanced at him, inexplicably felt that Li Xiaolin at this time seemed less obtrusive: "Yes, the news can't be revealed. The foreigners have just experienced a defeat. If the news of the general's disappearance broke out at this time, no one would know. Will they take this opportunity to come back and fight to the death?"

Li Xiaolin shook the paper fan and stopped talking, and the rest of the generals in the room also frowned.

"What do you mean by the military advisor?" Shi Tao pondered for a long time but could not figure out any good solution.

"The only thing we can use now are the general's bodyguards. They are not many and are not easy to detect. You all know what happened at Zikou Pass this time. Even Qianzhang may be bought by foreigners. Soldiers in the Pingxi Army will definitely be noticed. It will be bad if they cause dàng." Wu Duan said with a sullen face.

☆、63

The other lieutenants also looked solemn. This foreigner is like a hundred-footed insect, dead and not stiff. Although the victory of the Pingxi army this time, they must retreat, but once the news of the general's assassination spread, they still don't know what will happen...

"Anyway, let this king's bodyguards go look for it first. Although I don't have much hope, I might be able to find the mark left by the general," Li Xiaolin said softly.

Wu Duan glanced at him and nodded approvingly, "Just do it."

Shi Tao looked at the military division, then looked at the prince, and suggested, "Why don't the last commander lead three thousand soldiers and horses back to Zikou Pass just in case?"

Wu Duan and several other lieutenants discussed and agreed to Shi Tao's proposal.

Early the next morning, Shi Tao found a reason and returned to Zikou Pass with 3,000 soldiers and horses. Although the rest of the soldiers were a little strange, no one raised any objection.
