The mountains and rivers are quiet and broad

On the No. 13th day of the war, the three armies of the Cao family abandoned Yangcheng, and the frontier defense line that had been guarding for nearly a hundred years was broken.

The three armies of the Cao family received a letter from Ren Wang Chen Ke the night before.

That night, the Cao family's three armies first sent a small army to take the initiative to attack, and then pretended to be invincible, "forced" to break open the gate of Yangcheng, and when the enemy army poured in, they sealed Yangcheng to death.

Most of the Cao family's three armies had already made preparations for the transfer earlier in the day. When the wailing in Yangcheng faded and the first ray of dawn climbed up the city gate, the Cao family's three armies began to retreat, abandoning Yangyang City. City, retreated to Xiaomaocai Village, [-] miles outside Yangcheng, to station.

The distance they retreated was not too far. The Cazeyaduo tribe suffered heavy losses last night. They suspected that this move was another tactic to lure the enemy, so they dared not attack rashly.

"General Qi, they have entered the city..." The scout who monitored the movement of the Kazeya multi-ethnic group replied, "We are clearing up the battlefield."

Standing in front of the map, Cao Dingkun, the commander of the three armies of the Cao family, just nodded and waved his hand to make people retreat.

The place where they were stationed was called Xiaomaocai Village, which was slowly deserted a few years ago. It was not far from Yangcheng, and a day's journey was enough.

There are not many mountains here, and there is no way to occupy the mountains to attack and defend. If the trick to lure the enemy last night was not too successful, Cao Dingkun would not be so relieved to order to rest at this time.

In the past few days, they have made no secret of the news that Cao's reinforcements are coming. Last night's assault caught the enemy off guard. Now they only retreat [-] miles to convince the local people that Cao's reinforcements have arrived.

If the Kazeya multi-clan chooses to pursue now, the three armies of the Cao family may really be unable to support it, but the Kazeya multi-clan dare not, and they only need to wait another day, and the Seventh Army will arrive, and even if the Kazeya multi-clan attacks , they are not afraid.

Such a plan was proposed by Chen Ke.That letter is now lying on the desk, and Cao Dingkun can memorize every sentence in the letter.

Who said Nioh is a fierce god?Is it Da Chen's failure and disaster?What Cao Dingkun read between the lines in the letter was not only King Ren's ambition, but also King Ren's strength.

They abandoned Yangcheng, seeming to have broken the frontier, but they were actually advancing by retreating, waiting for the reinforcements to arrive, and they would definitely fight back fiercely.

Cao Dingkun carefully marked several important locations on the map, deduced several routes in his mind, and thought about the next move.

It is not obvious at a glance that the three armies of the Cao family are retreating. If they did not know that it was Chen Ke's order, Xu Qingfeng would definitely panic.

After Chen Ke took the map and told him the location of Xiaomaocai Village and his strategy, Xu Qingfeng took a few glances at Chen Ke.

"how?"

Xu Qingfeng shook his head.How should I put it, to say that it was the first time he actually felt the scheming of "Nioh"?

Xu Qingfeng was thoughtful, but Chen Ke didn't tell the whole truth.In his strategy, after sealing Yangcheng, he set fire to the city, and all the water sources in the city were poisoned.

After one night, thousands of lives may have been carried on his head. He is a "bad star" and a "bad god".

But he was also King Ren who grew up in Xiangguo Temple. His letter took thousands of lives, and he has no sense of pride.

Even though he knew it was war.

Xu Qingfeng didn't know what Chen Ke was thinking, but he was sensitively aware that Chen Ke was in a low mood.

"Is Guan Hongfeng coming back?" Xu Qingfeng changed the subject.

"If it's quick, it will be there in the afternoon, if it's slow, it'll be tomorrow morning." Chen Ke said, raising his hand to brush away a strand of hair on Xu Qingfeng's forehead.

It was a little itchy, so Xu Qingfeng stretched out his hand to scratch it.The fingers of the two touched together, Chen Ke took Xu Qingfeng's hand and put it on his cheek.

"What, what are you doing?" Xu Qingfeng didn't know what to think of, stuttered, and his cheeks flushed twice.

Chen Ke smiled narrowly and asked him, "What did you think of?"

"No, didn't think about anything..." Xu Qingfeng turned his face away, avoiding Chen Ke's gaze, but forgot to take back his hand, and then felt Chen Ke gently kiss the back of his hand.

Even if Xu Qingfeng didn't look at the thin, slightly cool lips, he knew the shape of those lips.Then there was a wave of fingertips—Chen Ke bit his index finger, even grinding it gently with his teeth.

With a "boom", Xu Qingfeng withdrew his hand, only to hear a muffled laugh from Chen Ke, and then his lips fell on his face.The breath is lingering with each other, the fingers are clasped, and the communication between lips and teeth is also the fusion of souls.

"Reporting to my lord..." Grandpa Quan's voice suddenly came from outside the door, with a hint of anxiety, "Guan Guard is back."

When Eunuch Quan saw that the door of the two people's house was closed, he knew what it was like inside, but Guan Hongfeng's injury was far more serious than imagined.

Chen Ke was still a little unfulfilled, lying on Xu Qingfeng's body, smelling the smell of his neck, to calm down each other.

"Xuan..."

"My lord..." Eunuch Quan still stood outside the door and didn't dare to come in, "Close the guard's eyes, I can't see anything anymore."

blind?

Chen Ke and Xu Qingfeng under him looked at each other, and they both hurriedly got up and went out the door.

And Guan Hongfeng was beside Zuo Ming at this time, and Zuo Ming supported him to move forward.The subordinates who followed Guan Hongfeng saw Captain Zuo reaching out to help Guan Hongfeng very naturally, and Guan Hongfeng also handed his hand to him very naturally, they always felt a little weird.Brother Guan has been acting as usual since his eye was injured, so why did he suddenly need someone to help him?

Guan Hongfeng held Zuo Ming's hand tightly, fearing that Zuo Ming would leave with his hand.He was now covered with black cloth strips, and when he got off the carriage, he could feel the cold air from Zuo Ming's whole body.Zuo Ming's eyes were like knives.

Naturally, Zuo Ming would not abandon Guan Hongfeng and ignore him, but he was angry and uncomfortable.

Guan Hongfeng's martial arts were superior to his. When he saw that Guan Hongfeng was riding in a carriage instead of driving a horse, he felt a chill in his heart.He was angry that Guan Hongfeng said in the letter that it was a minor injury, how could it be a minor injury if he was blind? !

Zuo Ming was angry in his heart, and reminded Guan Hongfeng to be careful on the road under his feet in a cold voice.The roads in Juyanhe City are not flat, except for the main road, they are all small roads with potholes.If it rains, I'm afraid it will be very muddy. Fortunately, it doesn't rain a few times a year in Juyanhe City.

But this is not a good thing, Zuo Ming's mind was full of messy thoughts, anxious, thinking about Guan Hongfeng's injury, but from the beginning to the end, he held Guan Hongfeng's hand tightly.

"It's actually not serious." Guan Hongfeng tentatively said.

"Um……"

As soon as he heard Zuo Ming's cold response, Guan Hongfeng knew that Zuo Ming must be angry, but Guan Hongfeng really didn't know what to do, so please coax Zuo Ming, he can't say it with so many people now.

Just as Chen Ke and Xu Qingfeng walked out of the yard, they saw a pair of figures coming hand in hand.

Seeing Guan Hongfeng's eyes covered with black cloth strips, Xu Qingfeng hesitated.Before being reborn, Guan Hongfeng's eyes were gouged out, and his face was horrifying. It hurts to think about it.

Xu Qingfeng couldn't help but think, in the new life, after making so many different choices from the previous ones, is it still going to the same ending?

What about Chen Ke?Is it inevitable to die after all?

Xu Qingfeng turned his head anxiously to look at Chen Ke beside him. Chen Ke seemed to know what he was thinking and gave him a comforting look.

"The humble Guan Hongfeng (Zuo Ming) sees the prince!"

"Go in and talk."

"Yes……"

After entering the back room, Grandpa Quan called for an extra chair, but Guan Hongfeng refused to sit on it.Chen Ke didn't force it, and first asked Guan Hongfeng's eyes.

Guan Hongfeng stretched out his hand and tore off the cloth strip on his face, but what Xu Qingfeng was worried about did not appear. Under the black cloth strip was a pair of intact eyes, but his eyes were out of focus and his expression was indistinctly confused.

Zuo Ming had never seen Guan Hongfeng like this before, feeling sore in his heart, he was at a loss and asked, "Can't you see it at all?"

Guan Hongfeng blinked and fastened the cloth again, "Sometimes you can see blurred figures, but most of the time, when you see the light, your eyes feel like needles, and the pain is very painful."

Guan Hongfeng's tone was normal, and he couldn't hear how painful his "very painful" was.

Seeing that Guan Hongfeng's eyes were still there, Xu Qingfeng secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but he didn't let go of the hanging heart completely, "How did this injury come about?"

Guan Hongfeng skillfully tied a knot at the back of his head, and after sorting out his thoughts, he said, "We kidnapped Lei Jing. It went smoothly at first, but later we found something was wrong..."

All of them, including Chen Ke, Xu Qingfeng, Zuo Ming, Guan Hongfeng, the people of Zhuozhou and Qianzhou, as well as those Jianghu guests that Lei Jing attracted with rewards, all thought that Lei Jing's trip to Qianzhou , all to find Xu Qingfeng and avenge the murder of his son.

However, in fact, although Lei Jing paid for murder, he did not investigate Xu Qingfeng's whereabouts. Instead, he went straight to Qianzhou from the very beginning, and looking for Xu Qingfeng in the city was just a cover-up.

Lei Jing's purpose is to get in touch with the Demon Cult.

"The Devil's Cult is in Qianzhou City?" Xu Qingfeng was very surprised. Apart from those Devil's Cult lunatics who appeared in Shangfeng Town, is there anything else?

Zuo Ming was also very surprised. At that time, Qianzhou blocked the city gate, wasn't it to prevent the Demon Cult from entering the city, but to prevent the Demon Cult from leaving the city?

"These are also our inferences after the fact..."

Lei Jing's relationship in Qianzhou City is unusual, even though Qianzhou was blocked, he still came and went freely, Lei Jing had already left Qianzhou when Guan Hongfeng set off, they all thought that Lei Jing would rush back to Zhuozhou for the blue and white, so they He drove day and night hoping to lay an ambush on the road, but Lei Jing walked much slower than expected.

— as if waiting for someone.

When Lei Jing was caught, Lei Jing was unprepared, his expression of surprise and fear didn't seem fake, and he was a little too nervous.

Guan Hongfeng ordered people to blindfold Lei Jing and others, found a mountain den and locked them up, pretending to be robbers, and asked Lei Jing to pay a ransom.

Lei Jing agreed without hesitation, saying that he was a rich man in Zhuozhou, and he could pay enough ransom, as long as he didn't kill him.

—— "Who are you? Don't kill me! I have money!"

——"I don't care who you are, as long as it is a problem that money can solve, I can take it out."

——"You let my boy go back to report the letter, and take my badge, just the jade badge on his waist..."

——"I didn't want to run away, please, don't kill me..."

Of course Guan Hongfeng didn't want to kill Lei Jing, but when Lei Jing escaped and fell into the trap of the Demon Sect, Guan Hongfeng had to sigh: Lei Jing's acting skills are really superb.
