The mountains and rivers are quiet and broad

It was already a bit cold in October, so Xiaobie covered Yan Keqing with a thin quilt and carefully tucked the corners of the quilt, fearing that Yan Keqing would catch a cold or catch a cold.

But his worries were unfounded.The carriage was rickety, and Yan Keqing hadn't come to his senses after several twists and turns on the road.

Although he did not eat and his body did not receive normal nutrition supply, Yan Keqing did not become thin and tired because of this. He lay down peacefully and peacefully, and time seemed to stop on him.

"Ah Yi, how long will it be?"

"Returning to your son, we will arrive in Linjiang Town in three hours."

Xiaobie responded in a low voice, put down the curtain, lay down next to Yan Keqing, and quietly stared at Yan Keqing's sleeping face.

He had never been so close to Yan Keqing—he had calmed down from the initial panic in the past few days, and this kind of getting along also satisfied his selfishness little by little.

Xiaobie stretched out his hand and stroked Yan Keqing's face very gently, as if admiring his favorite plaything, then took Yan Keqing's hand, snuggled up to Yan Keqing's side, closed his eyes and took a nap.

The five people I met last night were indeed five people who had fled.Although Xiaobie and Ayi were smaller than each other in number, their strength was far superior to them. It was just a one-sided beating. After the other party knelt down and begged for mercy, Xiaobie didn't kill them all. It wasn't because he had kindness in his heart. It's just that he was in a hurry.

On the way to Linjiang Town, they saw some refugees fleeing from refugees, not many in number, but very conspicuous.

Xiaobie didn't think much about it, but he still had a clearer idea of ​​the situation in the world.

Yan Keqing put Xiaobie as a pawn in the game he set up. Xiaobie didn't know the purpose of Yan Keqing's actions, but no one knew Yan Keqing's plan better than Xiaobie.

For a long time in Yan's mansion, Keqing Yan didn't wait to see Xiaobie. He bought Xiaobie back, but he really didn't care about it. Xiaobie was young and quick to learn. At that time, Yan Keqing needed enough money, so he set his sights on the blue and white meeting, used Xiaobie to replace the original sick man, and became "Boss Yao".

Xiaobie is very intelligent, blue and white will grow slowly, and Xiaobie is also very ambitious, dabbling in various businesses and doing things that ordinary people dare not think of or can't do.

The money made by Qinghuahui was used by Yan Keqing to bribe the officials of the household department, which allowed Yan Keqing, who had just entered the household department at that time, to quickly gain a foothold.

Most of the time, Xiaobie just dealt with the affairs of the Blue and White Society. He didn't know when and how Yan Keqing got in touch with the Demon Cult and the Fan Clan, but he would do everything Yan Keqing put forward.

Gradually, Yan Keqing stopped showing up on her own, and Xiaobie became Yan Keqing's best protective shell——

The Blue and White Society has bought many officials, and no one wants to have trouble with money, so a new chain has been formed: the Blue and White Society hides under the protection of local officials, and the local officials make connections for the Blue and White Society and profit from it;

Local officials used the black money to bribe imperial court officials to seek a better future, and in the end part of the money was "honored" to Yan Keqing.

Yan Keqing is by no means an upright official, he knows very well: the fastest way to climb up is to join forces with others.

But there are no absolutes.This is how things are in the world, where there is light there is darkness, where there is good there is evil, and this is the only way to maintain balance.

Yan Keqing thinks that he is meticulous in his actions, but not everyone is as careful as him. The Xizhou case is the best proof.

Like a snowball, things got bigger and bigger, Yan Keqing immediately adjusted the plan, and on the one hand, accelerated the search for Zhou's secret treasure in the palace.

On the one hand, he designed to frame Xu Kuining, fraudulently obtained information about the Stone of Life and Death, and used Xu Kuining's hands to poison King Ren, so as to provoke the relationship between King Ren and King Cheng, let Xiaobie contact the Devil Sect, and point the Devil Sect to sneak into the Central Plains;

And since two years ago, it has provided materials and information for the Kazeyaduo tribe, the Bumi tribe, and Gongbaxi, and made suggestions for their "alliance".

But since Yan Keqing found the Tianji Stone, he has shelved these plans.There is no other reason, he only set up such a formation many years ago to revive Jiang Qi.

If it wasn't for seeking a stronger and more stable power, he wouldn't have spent so much time, using the country as an altar and tens of millions of people as sacrifices to realize his forbidden technique.

With the Tianji Stone, the original plan became a backup plan, but a careful person like Yan Keqing, he still recalled Xiaobie, just in case.

This eventuality still happened.

When Xiaobie left Zhuozhou, Lei Jing of the Blue and White Club had been arrested, and the fate of the Blue and White Club could be imagined, but Yan Keqing had no idea about his future plans. It didn't go according to Yan Keqing's expectation.

This question can only be answered when Yan Keqing wakes up.

"My lord, I'm about to enter the city soon." A Yihui reported, with a calm tone without ups and downs.

Xiaobie lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out, not surprisingly seeing some fleeing people.

The official road was dyed red by the setting sun, and a steed horse galloped towards it, its hooves rattled back, and the rider on the horse was wearing post station clothes.

—It was a messenger.

Xiaobie didn't dare to intercept it hastily, but lowered the curtain in a low-key manner, and told Ah Yi to hurry into the city.

--split line--

The urgent reports from the front line flew to the capital one by one, but the actual situation was not as severe as imagined.

At least not on the northwest front.

Xu Qingfeng was tied to a wooden cart covered with hay, walked for three days, was sent to the enemy's front line, and then was detained for two days, but so far he has not seen the Kazeyaduo or Bumi tribes the leader.

The prison conditions in the enemy's camp were much worse than those in Xima Village.The desert in October was bitterly cold at night, Xu Qingfeng shivered in the cell, but fortunately Liu Hu sneaked into the barracks, and secretly stuffed Xu Qingfeng with clothes and food while the defense was not strict.

"Young master." At almost the third watch, Liu Hu approached the cell secretly.

Xu Qingfeng took the food and water carefully, quickly broke the dry food into small pieces and stuffed them into his mouth.While eating, he listened to Liu Hu talk about the news he found out.

"Tomorrow, Tibi, the leader of Cazeyado, will arrive. At the latest, tomorrow night, the young master may see each other. We will follow by then..."

"It's too dangerous to do so." Xu Qingfeng disagreed.

Not to mention whether Tie Bi really cares about the stone of life and death, he is not sure how close the Kazeyaduo tribe and the Bumi tribe are with Yan Keqing. If it is accidentally exposed, I am afraid that all of them will not be able to escape .

"We must follow you!" Liu Hu insisted. It was their duty to protect Xu Qingfeng. Zuo Ming was sent out to spy on the enemy's situation earlier, and he would rush over after returning to his command.

If the left team knows that they let Mr. Xu go into danger alone, let alone the prince, the left will not spare them lightly.

Xu Qingfeng felt a little troubled.It was indeed a hasty decision to take risks alone at the beginning, but Chen Ke sent people to help him, which undoubtedly affirmed Xu Qingfeng's approach.

But at this moment, the feeling of having more than enough energy but not enough energy when he was in Shangfeng Town came to Xu Qingfeng's heart again.

He doesn't know how to dissuade Liu Hu, and he is not as sure of everything as Chen Ke is, he can't be decisive, he is smart, but soft-hearted and credulous are his biggest shortcomings.

Seeing Xu Qingfeng's hesitation, Liu Hu comforted Xu Qingfeng instead. Xu Qingfeng silently ate a piece of cake, took another big mouthful of water, returned the food bag to Liu Hu, and asked him about Tasiya's news.

After that day, Xu Qingfeng didn't see Tasiya, and only two or three tribesmen escorted Xu Qingfeng to the enemy's camp. Xu Qingfeng didn't know what happened to the "alliance" now.

But if the guess is correct, the small tribes will soon riot against the Cazeyado and Bumi tribes.Of course, it depends on how Tasiya implements it.

"One more piece of news." Liu Hu lowered his voice and spoke quickly, while paying attention to the surrounding movement, "Gongba West in the north also launched an attack. As of yesterday, two cities have been lost, and about 100 million people have been killed or injured."

"Uh..." Xu Qingfeng's eyes showed sadness, as if he saw the scenes he had seen again. "The war broke out in full swing."

"Yes……"

"Does your lord have any new orders?"

Liu Hu's heart tightened, he shook his head and said no.

Xu Qingfeng gave a "hmm" and didn't ask any more questions, just said: "If you don't have any other news, you should go first."

"One more thing." Liu Hu turned to leave, and suddenly remembered: "It's good news, our food and grass have arrived."

The grain and grass that Liu Hu was talking about were the ones that were almost robbed by the demon sect outside Zhuozhou city.

When the bad news of the defeat in the northern battlefield came one after another, the arrival of food and grass boosted the low morale.

"Grassman Su Libai, see the prince!"

Seeing Su Libai again, Chen Ke was surprised.The boy in front of him seemed to have grown a lot, and his actions became more stable and skilled, not like the frizzy kid back then.

After escorting food and grass for a month, Su Libai was actually worn out, and a green stubble grew on his chin, making him look a lot older.

Along the way, they encountered the Devil's Cult twice more, and lost many people. They were still delivering more than [-] carts of food and grass safely.

"You guys have worked hard." Chen Ke got off his seat and thanked Su Libai and the gangsters behind him.

Dong Xuemin, the inspector of the Ministry of Officials, was also busy with travel and dust. He still didn't feel that he had arrived, but his eyes were wet: "This journey has indeed been a lot of hard work. If it weren't for you heroes, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to make it. Your bravery will be remembered by the imperial court." of……"

"Okay, okay, Master Dong, don't talk about it." One waved his hand: "We don't care about those fame and wealth, my lord, I want to join the army, okay?"

This man spoke bluntly, very boldly, and shouted at Chen Ke carelessly. There were so many impolite words in his words that everyone around him sweated for him.

Chen Ke didn't say anything, but affirmed his sincerity, and asked Guan Hongfeng to take them to rest without saying yes or no, and sent someone to count the amount of food and grass.

On the way here, these quacks heard Su Libai talk about Hongfeng, and they were very curious. Now they met the real person and greeted him one after another.

Guan Hongfeng hadn't come into contact with such a chivalry for a long time, but his memory was suddenly awakened, and he led everyone out of the account while talking and laughing.

Su Libai didn't rush to get close to Guan Hongfeng, but fell at the end, looking around absently.

After walking like this for a while, he suddenly saw an "acquaintance" and shouted happily, "Grandfather Quan!"

Eunuch Quan squinted his eyes and looked at it before he recognized Su Libai. "It turned out to be Su Xiaoxia, who must have escorted the food and grass? It's been a hard journey..."

"Quan Gonggong..." Su Libai interrupted Quan Gonggong's greetings, and said anxiously and somewhat embarrassedly: "Can I ask you something..."

Because of the arrival of the food and grass, the atmosphere in the whole camp was very good. Aman hugged the medicine basket and walked to the medical tent. Feeling the spirit of the soldiers passing by, he couldn't help smiling.

Because of the disappearance of Xu Qingfeng and Tasiya, Aman blamed herself for a long time. Although she was also deceived, the root cause was that she lured the wolf into the house.

Thinking of Tasiya and Xu Qingfeng, the smile on Aman's face faded a lot, and he walked silently with his head down, not noticing the man standing in front of the tent.

Su Libai saw Aman at a glance.

With joy and nervousness, he waited for her to approach slowly.
