Half a month ago, after Jin Zhao received the order from Emperor Xuanhui, he set off without stopping.

At that time, he was having a dispute with that person, so it was not good to say goodbye to him suddenly. He thought that after the war was over, he would plan the affairs between them carefully, but he never thought that this battle was not as simple as he thought.

When he was about to arrive in Ping Liang, he received a secret letter, which was not signed. At first he didn't want to believe it, but after he sent someone to investigate, he was surprised that something was wrong.

The content of the secret letter is roughly that Qixia colluded with the original Pingliang Wang Mince, and cooperated with the inside and the outside. This time, they are preparing for a double-sided attack to besiege Pingliang.

Ping Liang was originally the border of Great Liang, and behind Ping Liang there was a crucial capital, Yandu.

Yandu has a vast territory, almost covering Ping Liang on three sides. If Yandu is captured, Qi Xia will attack from the front, chase and intercept, and then Ping Liang will become the turtle in the urn.

Yandu is hundreds of kilometers away from Ping Liang, and during the time Min Ce disappeared, it has been very calm, and there is almost no special news.

However, there are undercurrents surging under the calm surface.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Jin Zhao separated from the soldiers of the Xiaoqi camp, and only brought a few people to Yandu, trying to find out the truth in person.

Facts have proved that what was said in the secret letter was accurate.

Since the first battle between Qi Xia and Great Liang, Min Ce escaped with his men, and for such a long time, he has been hiding in Yandu, secretly training the remnant soldiers, and placing his men in theVarious positions in Yandu.

Min Ce was afraid that he would startle the enemy, so he kept acting in secret. When the time came, he joined forces with Qi Xia and attacked the Pingliang military camp by surprise.

Jin Zhao and his men's goals were too big, so they divided into several groups, each performed their own duties, and kept tight-lipped about what they were going to do.

He had heard rumors from Qixia that he had been caught a long time ago to threaten Great Liang, so he resorted to tricks and found two people pretending to be from Qixia, and sent him to Min Ce.

He thought that Min Ce would confirm the accuracy of the news, but when he was sent to Min Ce, his hatred almost overcame his reason.

Jin Zhao was imprisoned by Min Ce and tortured him severely, but because of this, he separated from Min Ce's sight, and his subordinates eradicated the spies and traitors at each checkpoint one by one without anyone noticing.

However, Min Ce thought that he had the chance to win. He refused to let Jin Zhao go so easily, and reported to the Qixia people that he had indeed captured Jin Zhao, but escorting him there would take a lot of energy, as well as escaping and being caught.He only sent his clothes and sword over, and gave them the idea of using a substitute to set a trap.

Look at the other side.

After Shen Li left the Pingliang military camp, he inquired about Jin Zhao and Gui Yun who was captured by the Qixia people.

He disguised himself and managed to sneak into Qi Xia's cell. At that time, Gui Yun had been tortured beyond recognition.

Holding back his anger, Shen Li walked to Gui Yun's side, and as soon as he touched his shoulder, he was subconsciously thrown away.

Shen Li grabbed his wrist and called him in a low voice, signaling him not to say anything.

Seeing Shen Li dressed up by the jailer, Gui Yun was stunned for a long time. He thought that he would die this time, but he never thought...

"master……"

Shen Li lowered his voice and said: "Don't say anything, they are watching you very closely right now, it will be difficult to get out, take this pill, and your injury will recover quickly." Gui Yun immediately caught it without thinkingHe took the pill and stuffed it into his mouth.

"If you pretend to be loyal, you won't suffer from physical pain all the time. Remember to pretend to be decent, so your life won't be in danger. I will definitely find a way to save you." Shen Li continued to warn.

Gui Yun nodded hurriedly, then looked at him guiltily, "Master... I'm sorry for dragging you down."

Shen Li patted him on the shoulder and said: "What do you say, you did it for me, you are right, I did lose my mind before, and it put you in danger now, in the future...of course it won't happen.”

Hearing these words, Gui Yun suddenly felt a little sour in his eyes, his former master definitely wouldn't say such things...

Taking advantage of his silence, Shen Li pulled out a short dagger from his body and handed it to him, "Anyway, taking care of your own life is the most important thing."

Gui Yun nodded and was silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and said, "Master, I went to see the man at the city gate earlier, he...is not General Cui, only the sword looks like General Cui's, lookComing here is indeed a trap, you must be careful!"

Hearing this, Shen Li nodded in response: "I see, don't worry, you just said... that saber?"

"What's wrong?"

"Do you know where that sword is now?"

Gui Yun said: "That person has already been removed from the city gate, and the sword... I don't know where it is."

After separating from Gui Yun, Shen Li followed his feeling to find the sword.

If that sword is real...

It was his portable sword. Shen Li remembered that Minzhen had said before that he recognized the owner of the sword. Since he recognized the owner, how could he leave him so easily? Maybe... finding that sword is not far from finding him.

He searched almost the entire Qi Xia barracks, risking being discovered.

But this is a military camp after all, how could he be allowed to walk around at will, his identity was still discovered.

The Qi Xia guard picked up the knife and slashed at Shen Li. Hearing the sound of fighting, the guards rushed over one after another.

Fortunately, Shen Li made a disguise, and almost no one recognized him, but no matter how high his martial arts skills are, he is still hard to beat with two fists.

At that critical moment, a sharp sword glowing with blue light flew straight towards him, parrying the scimitar that was slashing at him.

Shen Li never expected that the sword he had been looking for for a long time would appear just like that, and he couldn't help but feel joy in his heart.

He grasped the hilt of the sword, and subconsciously looked in the direction where Canglan Sword was flying, trying to see the person in his memory.

However, he didn't see anything, he didn't care to think too much, took the Canglan sword, and immediately killed a bloody path.

The sword seemed to lead him in one direction all the time, he stepped on the steed and galloped in that direction.

After arriving in Yandu, Shen Li also received a letter.

Shen Li took the letter from that person, and didn't open it immediately, but asked, "Who are you? Why do you want to help me?"

The man was wearing a black suit with a serious face, and he did not bow his knees at all because of Shen Li's identity, "Your Highness, I am also a patriot of Great Liang. Now General Cui is being captured by Min Ce, and only you can save him.Believe it or not."

After saying this, the man left immediately.

What made Shen Li feel strange was that if what the man said was false, why did Canglan Sword bring him to this place?

Without thinking too much, he had to inquire about the news a lot, and finally, with the idea of testing, he tried every means to find Min Ce's location.
