Northern Frontier Town · Prefect's Mansion

The eunuch's study room was dark, and two figures were whispering in it.

"Master Taishou, the Emperor Qianchao is coming to the mansion tomorrow, and we, King Zuo Xian, have led [-] elites to wait outside the city. Are you ready for tomorrow's business?"

The prefect smiled and said: "I heard that the emperor led the army to march in a hurry these days, and they ate dry food. When they arrived at the prefect's mansion, they just wanted to rest before going to the battlefield and eat something good. Don't worry, I have ordered people to prepare cattle and sheep. Tomorrow, we will make steamed buns in broth for an army of 20, and then we only need to put the poison in the soup, and everything will be fine.”

"So, I'll go back and tell King Zuo Xian, and wait for the good news."

Su Mu and Chi Ranzhi slept in the tent with thick carpets on the floor.The weather outside the Great Wall was extremely cold, but Su Mu felt much warmer after eating a meal of roasted venison. Wrapped in a thin cotton coat and covered with a thick quilt, he slept soundly in Chi Ranzhi's arms.

"Mumu, Mumu..."

Su Mu frowned, and opened his eyes in a daze.In the dark, Chi Ranzhi looked at him and said with a smile, "Is Mu Mu cold?"

Su Mu shook his head in confusion, "It's not cold anymore."

Chi Ranzhi smiled slightly: "No. You are cold."

Su Mu: "???"

He closed his eyes and wanted to continue sleeping, so he rubbed Chi Ranzhi's chest, "It's not cold, it's warm, sleep."

However, it didn't take long for Chi Ranzhi to sit up with him in his arms, and began to wrap him in thick cotton clothes.

Su Mu leaned his cheek on Chi Ranzhi's shoulder, half-opened his eyes, and said in a low voice, "What's the matter? Is it dawn? Are you leaving again?"

Chi Ranzhi's smiling voice came from above his head, coaxing: "Gong Lan sent someone to secretly explore the surrounding environment, and found a hot spring in a cave not far away, may I take you to soak in the hot spring? "

Su Mu, who was half asleep and half awake, took a while to react, yawned, rubbed his cheek against Chi Ranzhi's shoulder, closed his eyes, "I'm not going. Sleep."

Chi Ranzhi: "Okay. Let's go now."

After saying that, he put on a mink fur hat and a cloak for Su Mu, wrapped Su Mu tightly, picked him up and walked out.Su Mu was still half asleep and could not hear his words clearly.Then it was bumpy all the way, Su Mu thought that the army set off again, he had been in the carriage for many days, he was used to it, and continued to sleep soundly.It wasn't until the neck was submerged by the slightly scalding hot spring water that he shivered and opened his eyes blankly.

……

Gong Lan led the secret guards, and Gong Song led the personal guards to guard a place not far from the entrance of the cave.

It was not until midnight that Su Mu, who was tightly wrapped, returned to the quilt of the big tent.

Looking at Chi Ranzhi who was lying on the side and staring at him, Su Mu endured the drowsiness and chrysalised next to Chi Ranzhi like a silkworm baby, leaned against Chi Ranzhi's arms, and pressed his forehead against Chi Ranzhi chest, and asked softly: "When will the big monster come back?"

Su Mu's face has turned pale after running around for the past few days, and his face turned red after soaking in the hot spring. Now his whole body is soft, and he looks very cute.Chi Ranzhi hadn't seen enough, so he dug the man out of his arms, supported the soft pillow with his elbow, and pinched Su Mu's cheek with the other hand to play.Hearing this, the corners of his lips curled up, and he said lazily:

"I do not know."

Su Mu stared at Chi Ranzhi with wet eyes for a while, then suddenly turned around forcefully, turned his back to Chi Ranzhi, stared at the darkness with puffed cheeks, and shrank his chin into the quilt.close your eyes.sleep.

Chi Ranzhi's hands froze in the air.

He looked at Su Mu's furious back, and the triumphant smile froze on his face. He coughed lightly, moved behind Su Mu and pulled him into his arms. He turned his head to look at Su Mu's side face, and said softly: "Mumu?"

No one ignored him.

"Mumu?"

Su Mu's eyelashes didn't even move.

"Mu Mu."

His answer was a soft snore.

Chi Ranzhi: "..."

The forehead of the pool dyeing.

Su Mu slept very well this time, feeling warm, and woke up naturally. When he woke up, he had already arrived at the prefect's mansion.

Chi Ranzhi wasn't there, and only watched over him.

Knowing that today he will rest in the prefect's mansion for a whole day and leave for the camp in northern Xinjiang tomorrow, Su Mu rubbed the soft pillow and went back to sleep.

The emperor, the generals, and Chi Ranzhi were in the Taishou Mansion to place the army and other matters. Near noon, Zhenbei King and the eldest son of Zhenbei King came to the Taishou Mansion to pick them up.

The emperor asked: "How is the battle going?"

The king of Zhenbei looked solemn: "For some reason, the Hungarian army came out in full force this year, attacking ten cities in a row. Fortunately, the decisive battle was prepared at the beginning, and the people have already moved out, but it was too late to take away their things, and now they are all occupied by the Hungarians. Already. The battle situation is very pessimistic."

The emperor was silent for a moment, got up and patted King Zhenbei on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will take you to see the army first."

Not far away, I heard the miserable howling of animals.

The emperor frowned, and asked the prefect behind him, "What's the sound?"

The prefect replied respectfully: "I am slaughtering cattle and sheep, and I am going to make meat soup and steamed buns for the army at noon today."

The emperor waved his hand casually: "There is no need to waste extravagance, the army has its own dry food to feed itself. The border town has been war-torn for a long time, and the people are not well-off, so don't slaughter them first, and distribute the cattle and sheep to the people."

The prefect: "... I obey the order."

After resting for the army at noon, the emperor led everyone back to his yard, passing by Chi Ranzhi's and Su Mu's yards, and saw Su Mu standing at the door, basking in the sun while gnawing his dry food with a sad face, he was immediately happy.

He turned around and entered the yard, looked at Su Mu and said with a smile:

"It just so happens that I'm free in the afternoon, let's go, I'll take you to hunt outside the city, and I'll roast venison for you."

Su Mu thought about taking a hot spring last night...

The venison is too nourishing to bear.

So he bit his dry food and shook his head listlessly.

I don't want to go, I just want to stay in the prefect's mansion.

After resting today, he will go to the Northern Xinjiang camp tomorrow. He wants to take a rest.

The emperor smiled, turned around and walked out, "Ranzhi, take the son-in-law with us, let's go hunting."

Su Mu: "..."

Su Mu was pulled by Chi Ranzhi, and reluctantly followed behind.

He doesn't know how to ride a horse, so he can only ride with Chi Ranzhi and sit behind Chi Ranzhi.

Just as the prefect was about to get on his horse, the emperor said, "Stay at the prefect's mansion and wait for the battle report from Northern Xinjiang."

The eunuch leads the decree.

When the people rode away, the eunuch raised his head, looked at the people going away, and smiled slightly.

He was still worried about the fact that the army could not be poisoned because they ate dry food. Seeing that the emperor, King Zhenbei and others had gone out with only some dragon shadow guards and personal guards, he quickly spied on the Xiongman and spread the news.

Outside the city, King Zuo Xian received a letter, remembering that he had heard that the emperor had brought his favorite princess and son-in-law here, and said that the son-in-law was a lucky general.

Looking at it now, where is this lucky general?It is clearly the emperor's reminder.

Unexpectedly, Chi Fulan, who had been the emperor for several years, turned out to be confused.

God help me too!

They were already in the mountains outside the city, and now they happened to lie in ambush, waiting for the emperor and his party to throw themselves into the trap.

Su Mu was very bored sitting behind Chi Ran, watching the emperor and others search for prey, chase after prey, and shoot arrows with their bows.

Of course, in this cold weather, prey is not common. It was pure luck to hunt back a deer so quickly yesterday.

It took a long time to search, and only a few hares have been caught so far.

Su Mu kept saying in his heart: Don't hit the deer, don't hit the deer...

The sun was rare today, and he was basking in the sun well, but was dragged into the woods.

Here is a large area of ​​coniferous forest, there is no sunlight, and it is on the mountain again, it is getting colder and colder. After a while, Su Mu was shivering from the cold, and pressed against Chi Ranzhi's back tightly, trying to absorb some warmth .

The emperor and others chased the prey deeper into the woods.

At this moment, many people and horses suddenly appeared around. After a brief exchange of troops, the crowd opened a gap and broke out from the enemy army that had not yet had time to encircle. Chi Ranyi grabbed Su Mu from behind to the front and followed the crowd The horse galloped.

The cold wind was piercing, Su Mu looked at the pursuers with his head, Chi Ranzhi pressed his face flushed by the cold wind into his arms, and only had time to see that there were many Hun barbarians.

After a long time, the crowd abandoned their horses and ran through the forest in hiding. Su Mu was half embraced by Chi Ranzhi, and his feet barely touched the ground. Finally, the crowd climbed up a cliff.

The cliff has three sides and one side is a steep slope, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

King Zuo Xian quickly gathered [-] elites to surround the cliff, and looked up at the emperor on the cliff.

The left and right subordinates said: "This cliff is too high. The steep slope guarded by their men is a narrow path that only one person can pass through. It is impossible to attack at all, and it is also difficult to shoot arrows up. Now the only way is to attack with fire."

"No." Zuo Xianwang raised his hand to stop his subordinates: "I think back then, my father was forced to go up a cliff by Chi Fulan, and he shot a hedgehog with a bow and arrow like a cat playing with a mouse? What happened today?" , It is simply that the father has a spirit in the sky! No need to attack with fire, I will shoot him into a hedgehog today, let him also taste what it is like to be teased by others at the end of the road, and avenge the father!"

As he spoke, he ordered the archers to shoot at the cliff.

The cliff was indeed too high, and most of the bows and arrows lost their strength when they reached the cliff. However, the arrows of some archers with extraordinary arms posed a threat to everyone in Qianchao.There are many Huns and barbarians, and the place on the top of the cliff is small. For the people of Qianchao, these arrows can be said to be overwhelming.

The archers of Qianchao and the musketeers of Shenji Battalion also fought back under the cover of the personal guards and the dragon shadow guards wielding swords.

The emperor did not hide behind the crowd, but blocked the endless stream of arrows with King Zhenbei and others, protecting Chi Ranzhi and Su Mu in the middle.

Chi Ranzhi drew his sword to protect Su Mu behind him, and waved away the arrows coming from all directions.

Su Mu watched everyone desperately, hid behind Chi Ran, put his hand in his sleeve pocket, and came out again.He touched the ring on his hand and let go.

I was afraid, anxious, and hesitant because I was afraid that my secret would be discovered if I made a move, and I was sweating all over.

After more than an hour, everyone's physical strength began to run low, but the Hun barbarian archers could take turns shooting arrows, and, as if they wanted to compete, more and more arrows could be shot up the cliff, and many guards had been injured.

At this moment, King Zuo Xian, who had watched the excitement for a long time, took his own bow and arrow, aimed at the emperor, and drew the bowstring to the full.

whoosh-

The arrow carried a mighty force and shot towards the emperor like lightning.

King Zuo Xian's arm strength was astonishing, the speed of the arrow was completely different from other arrows, and the timing was extremely tricky, the emperor had just blocked a wave of arrows, before he had time to fight back, the arrow hit him in the chest.

"His Majesty!!!"

Su Mu, who had been hiding behind Chi Ran's hesitation, heard the sound and looked around.

I saw the emperor tightly holding the long arrow on his chest with one hand, kneeling on the ground on one knee, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

Mo Xiao, He Xiang, and King Zhenbei hurried forward to protect the emperor behind them against the sky full of arrows.

At the bottom of the cliff, King Zuoxian saw this and glanced at the surrounding soldiers.The soldier glanced at the emperor who was hit by an arrow on the top of the cliff, and saw that the arrow was in the middle of the mouth, and the emperor was dead.Then he nodded, and led a group of people back to the Hungarian camp to report the news and start the next step.

Chi Ranzhi brought Su Mu closer, the emperor covered his chest, spat out another mouthful of blood, turned to look at his daughter and son-in-law who was about to cry, "I'm fine..."

The crowd surrounded the three of them, weeping while blocking the arrows.

Su Mu was frightened, seeing the emperor spit out another mouthful of blood, tears came down his face.

More and more people were shot by arrows, Su Mu looked at the emperor who was vomiting blood, and heard the arrogant laughter and unheard insults of the Huns and King Zuo Xian under the cliff, wiped away his tears, and took out the dagger , cut off two sleeve pockets, took off the cloak, poured all the various balls in the two sleeve pockets into the cloak, picked up the cloak and shook it vigorously twice, then took advantage of the loophole and ran to the edge of the cliff, Throwing the cloak high and staring at the Huns below, with fierce eyes, he said coldly:

"Go to hell with all of you!!!"

Chi Ranzhi was shocked and pulled him back.

The cloak was spread out in the air, and countless small balls among them touched each other to activate, some of them turned into various flying insects, and some took the form of various strange weapons, flying towards the Huns in the valley under the cliff densely, and even more Most of them scattered and fell among the Huns, releasing a large piece of colorless and odorless deadly poisonous gas upgraded by Su Mu.

The Huns didn't pay attention to it at first, thinking it was some flying insects, but when they tried to wave back these flying insects, the real killer weapon - colorless and odorless poisonous gas quietly diffused, and fell in pieces wherever they passed.

And those weapons and flying insects drilled into the ears, nasal cavity, or just scratched the skin, and the deadly toxins carried on them instantly blocked the throat with blood.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the poisonous gas completely spread through the bottom of the valley.

The Xiongman Zuo Xianwang and his [-] elite troops were wiped out.

At this moment, An Guogong and others who had led an army of [-] to ambush on the other side of the mountains, estimated that the Huns who reported the news had gone far, so they raised a flag and ordered the whole army to cross the mountains and come to this side. The boulders hidden in advance were pushed down the valley, and they followed the boulders and shouted to charge.However, after just a few steps, the Huns were found dead all over the valley.

Dajun: "???"

On the cliff, after King Zhenbei blocked the last arrow, no more arrows shot up.

Everyone was wondering when they saw the army charging, but they only charged a few steps before looking at the bottom of the valley in astonishment, and they also walked to the edge of the cliff to look at the bottom of the valley.

After seeing clearly...! ! !

Chi Ranzhi turned his head suddenly, and looked at Su Mu beside him in astonishment.

The emperor couldn't help but let go of the arrow.

Everyone on the cliff reacted and looked at Su Mu in shock.

Among the mountains, there is no sound.

Su Mu, who was filled with grief and indignation, suddenly felt that something was wrong. He glanced at the [-] soldiers who were obviously in ambush. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the arrow that fell to the ground after being released by the emperor.

There was no blood on the arrow.

Su Mu: "...???...!!!"
