"Quick, get out of the way, I have something urgent to see General Xiao."

"The general has rested, you can't go in... Someone, drag him down."

"I'm really in a hurry to see the general...don't pull me, I want to see the general...the general...uuuuuu..."

Inside the tent, Xiao Qirui had just drank the medicine and was about to take a break. Hearing the movement outside, he lit the oil lamp that had just been extinguished and ordered, "Xiao Li, let him in."

There was silence outside, the curtain was opened, and a young man with bare feet and messy clothes rushed in.

Xiao Qirui was stunned: "Liu Jinbao?"

"General, that girl... Song Huan took someone to blow up the black powder..." Liu Jinbao tried to calm himself down, but his voice still couldn't stop shaking.

Xiao Qirui was shocked.

"What did you say?"

A female voice suddenly sounded.

When everyone looked outside the tent, they saw a woman running in, grabbing Liu Jinbao's shirt and picking him up without a word: "What did you just say? What's wrong with Sister Huan?"

"Mrs. Song?" Xiao Qirui thought for a moment that he was hallucinating, and it was not until he saw the handsome man who came in behind the woman that he was sure that he was not wrong.

"How do you..."

From Xuanyuan Kingdom to Nanling Pass, according to the normal speed, it would take them about a month to get here.

Song Jingchen nodded at him: "We'll talk about it later." Then he looked at Shen Yijia and said, "Jiajia, let him go first."

When he learned that Song Jinghuan ran away from home and followed the army to the border, he passed a letter to Xiao Qirui, and naturally knew that Song Huan was the name that the girl used in the army.

Shen Yijia obediently let go, and said with a cold face: "Come on, what's wrong with Sister Huan?"

"Cough cough..." Liu Jinbao fell to the ground, and at this time he also recognized the identity of the person who came, and quickly got up and said: "She found the place where Wu Guo's army put black powder, and brought someone to destroy the black powder. ."

"How long have you been there? Do you know where the black powder is hidden?" Song Jingchen asked.

"I, I..." Liu Jinbao was speechless when asked.

He was knocked unconscious by that girl. He didn't know where the black powder was and when Song Jinghuan went there.

Seeing his appearance, Song Jingchen had already guessed it.

"I know where their black powder is hidden." Xiao Qirui interjected, and after that, he went to the desk to get a map.

"The army of the Wu Kingdom is stationed in this valley, and the black powder is probably here." He pointed to two of them: "Without disturbing the army of the Wu Kingdom, it will take at least an hour from us to get to this position..."

He paused: "I don't know when that girl left."

Song Jingchen looked at the hourglass on the side: "When was the last time the patrols on the city tower changed their guards?"

Xiao Qirui was stunned for a moment, then responded, "Xu Shimo."

It's early childhood...

Shen Yijia's heart sank: "Isn't that an hour and a half ago?"

"Don't worry, it should be too late for us to rush over now." Song Jingchen rubbed Shen Yijia's head and comforted.

"I'll order some people to go with you." Xiao Qirui said.

"No, too many people are easy to be discovered by the other party's scouts."

...

The night was sinking like water, and behind a rock somewhere outside the hundreds of tents, several pairs of eyes stared at the direction of the tent for a moment.

"Xiao Dutong, they all went to bed." Tang Shun reminded in a low voice.

Leaning on the rock, Song Jinghuan closed his eyes and opened his eyes. He turned around and looked over. As expected, only a hundred people were patrolling the camp.

She observed for a while, and roughly figured out the strength of the patrols in various places, and said sternly: "As planned, Sun Hao, the four of you go around to the left, release the deer and make a sound, and immediately return to the place where we parked our horses. Tang Shun, you are the same, go to the right and remember not to stop too much around."

There were ten people in total, and there was a horse who was guarding them outside. Xiaodutong sent them all to lure the patrols away. Who would sneak in and light the black powder?

You don't have to think to know the answer.

"No." Several people said in unison.

They were really scared at first, but when they got here, the excitement had already surpassed that fear.

When they do this, they will be the heroes of Daxia, the kind that will last forever.

Song Jinghuan glared at them, and shouted louder to draw people over.

Sun Hao said in a low voice: "My parents died early, and there are no relatives by my side, no worries, Xiaodutong, you let me go."

Song Jinghuan shook his head: "It's because you're the only one in your family, and the responsibility of continuing the incense for the Sun family rests on you, so you can't go."

Liang Ping said: "My parents are still there, and there are younger brothers and sisters below. Even if I am gone, someone will continue the incense, I will go."

"Your parents are not too young, do you have the heart to let them send black-haired people to white-haired people? It's really worth raising you so old."

No parents, only one person in the family can't do it, and there's no way to have parents...

"My parents passed away last year, but I still have a younger brother in my family who has already married..."

"Shut up." Song Jinghuan rolled her eyes, and she couldn't find a reason to continue: "Am I the boss or you are the boss, who do you listen to?"

You're the boss, but we don't want to hear from you right now.

Song Jinghuan understood their meaning inexplicably, and said angrily, "I'm small, so it's not easy to be discovered."

I was so mad at her that I had to force her to reveal her shortcomings.

Several people shook their heads, and most of them were distracted. They could be careful not to teach people to find out.

Song Jinghuan choked up, only to feel a pain in his heart, he took off his small burden and said: "Do you think I'm going to die? I brought this guy, I'm sure to run out before the explosion, you guys Have it?"

Several people were stunned and shook their heads.

"That's fine, hurry up and wait for me at the place where the horse stopped after completing the task."

Tang Shun glanced at him and patted Sun Hao on the back: "Let's go, listen to Xiaodutong."

Sun Hao didn't expect him to be so spineless and angry: "Tang Shun, you..."

Noticing Tang Shun's ugly face, he gritted his teeth: "Okay."

In the end, if the Xiaodutong failed to come out, he would bring people in, killing one would not be a loss, killing two would make a profit, and he would never abandon the Xiaodutong to live.

Song Jinghuan didn't know that they were paying attention, and he was relieved to see them carry the deer they caught in advance and leave.

It's easy to lure them away. They are all people who have stayed in the military camp. On weekdays, the military rules are strict and the food is poor. When they see the prey delivered to their door, they will never let them go.

Sure enough, a group of people heard the movement and left the camp, followed by the second group, and the patrol gap suddenly widened.

Song Jinghuan seized the opportunity and sneaked in when the patrol was turning a corner. She was small and could hide herself well in any place.

After going around in a circle, she set her final target on the tent with two men in black standing at the door.

"Fortunately, I have the foresight." Song Jinghuan whispered, took out a bamboo tube from the bag, poured out two silver needles and put them into the sleeve arrows on his wrist.

Just listening to the swoosh, two silver needles flew out in response.

The strength of the two men in black was obviously not low, and they easily blocked the plot with their swords.

The two looked at each other.

One of them said: "You continue to guard here, I will go."

I didn't want his voice to fall, and the two of them fainted at the same time.

Song Jinghuan patted her little chest in fear, fortunately she used medicinal powder, and fortunately, the medicinal powder given by Sister Mo Yuan was strong enough.

It's a pity that the medicinal materials are limited, and there are not many given.

Song Jinghuan sighed sadly, and leaned over to help the two of them up and sit outside the tent, posing as if they were asleep.

After confirming that no one could see it, he lifted the curtain and entered the tent.

"Huh..." Taking advantage of the moonlight, Song Jinghuan took a deep breath when he saw the wooden boxes piled up inside.

If so much black powder was thrown into Nanling Pass at one time, would it be able to blow up the city wall?

She doesn't think that the people of Wu country can't do it. With their previous style of play, it is more like they are trying to save money.

But even saving them makes them uncomfortable.

Too bad it's too heavy to carry.

Song Jinghuan sighed again, pried open a box, took a black fireball out and put it on the ground, and pulled out a slender thread from the bag.

If Liu Jinbao was here, he would recognize that the thread was the oil core Song Jinghuan asked him to get.

Originally it was only a palm long, but it was twisted into a long strip by Song Jinghuan and soaked in oil in advance.

She connected one end of the thread to the lead of the black powder, and pulled the other end back to the tent door.

There must have been other accidents, and after thinking about it, I still didn't go out.

After lighting it, she still has at least ten breaths to stay away from here!

Song Jinghuan clenched his fists, took out another bamboo tube and took out the fire book, and blowing it lightly, a bunch of flames jumped up instantly.

The light of the fire shone on her face, and it was clearly visible that her little face was pale, and dense sweat had already ooze out on her forehead.

"Brother, you must come quickly."

She murmured, and with trembling hands, she brought the fire stick close to the oil core...

"Sister Huan!"

In the Fuguo Gongfu in the capital, Mrs. Li woke up from a nightmare.

A young girl walked in from the outside in a hurry and asked with concern, "Auntie, are you having nightmares again?"

"Girl Yuwan." Li Shi seemed to have caught a life-saving straw, tightly grasped Yuan Yuwan's hand, and said with a trembling voice, "I dreamed that Nanling Pass was broken... Sister Huan didn't come out, she... She's so young..."

After speaking, she was already choked up.

Yuan Yuwan took a soft pillow and placed it behind her to lean against, and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, Auntie, isn't there a saying that dreams are all opposites? Besides, if Nanling Pass is really broken, the palace would have to wait a long time. I have received the news, it is impossible for the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty to hide it from you."

"Yes, dreams are all the opposite. The queen mother came to see me in the daytime...cough...you think that girl is so disobedient, the battlefield is so dangerous...cough..."

No matter whether she is selfish or cowardly, her close relatives died one by one because of this big summer, and now there are only three children left. I really don't want any of them to have any accident.

If possible, she would rather their family stay in Xiagou Village forever.

"Yuwan admires Sister Huan very much, but unfortunately my grandfather only taught me some tricks on paper, and in times of national disaster, I couldn't help you at all..."

"I'm not the only one who thinks this way. Ruo Shui thinks so too. If it wasn't for her body, she wouldn't be able to go, I'm afraid she would have secretly gone without the knowledge of Master Fan."

"Auntie should also be proud of Sister Huan." Yuan Yuwan persuaded her while gently giving her a back: "The imperial doctor said that your illness was caused by too much thinking, you should relax now and take care of your body as soon as possible. Take care. When Sister Huan returns with the army in triumph, we will happily greet her at the gate of the city."

Li Shi closed her eyes: "You are right, I should be proud of her."

Young white poured a glass of warm water over at the right time.

Yuan Yuwan took over to feed Li Shi and drank it, and when she saw that her breath had stabilized, she helped her lie down on the bed.

"Girl Yuwan." Li Shi smiled and patted her hand gently: "Thanks to you these days."

What she said was true.

After reconciling with Xiao Qirui, Yuan Yuwan has been living in Zhuangzi outside the city.

Even if Shen Yijia was not in the capital, she would occasionally ask Youbai to send some of the output from Zhuangzi to the Duke Fuguo's mansion, but she did not stop contacting.

A few days ago, Youbai came to deliver something and learned that Li was seriously ill, so he went back and said.

Thinking that there were only a few children in the house, Yuan Yuwan was uneasy, so she just stayed in and took care of her.

Thanks to her persuading her, otherwise, Mrs. Li didn't know how she would survive.

She also knew that she was on the cusp of a bull's horn, but knowing that it was one thing, she couldn't help but continue to worry.

"What did Auntie say? When Yuwan was in trouble, it was Jiajia who helped me. She is not in Chang'an now, so I should help her take care of you. Just don't dislike Yuwan's clumsiness."

In Yuan Yuwan's perception, women often need to serve in front of their mother-in-law after marriage. She specifically said that she came here because Shen Yijia helped her, and she was worried that Li would be dissatisfied with Shen Yijia.

Although it was impossible to get along with them in the past, she knew too well that some things could not stand the scrutiny of time.

Li Shi didn't think too much about it. When she mentioned Shen Yijia, the expression on her face softened: "You are all good children."

Yuan Yuwan saw her reaction in her eyes and heaved a sigh of relief.

Li continued: "Okay, it's getting late, don't stay here, I have Bi Tao to take care of me, you go back to your room early to rest."

There are a lot of servants in the house now, and some old people from the past have come back. Bitao was the one who served in front of her.

"Okay, let Bitao call me for something."

In order to take care of Li's convenience, she lives in the yard next door.

"Go, don't worry about me." Li said.

After instructing Bitao a few more words, Yuan Yuwan left with You Bai.

"Miss, what's the matter with you?" Young Bai asked worriedly as soon as she left Li's yard, her expression became solemn.

Yuan Yuwan shook her head: "It's fine."

Youbai pursed her lips: "Are you worried about Young Master Xiao?"

Yuan Yuwan said lightly: "No, don't talk nonsense."

You Bai didn't believe it, and muttered softly, "I heard everything he said to you the day before the expedition."

There was silence all around, Youbai's words entered Yuan Yuwan's ears without a word, she squeezed Supa's hand tightly, and the scene before Xiao Qirui left the capital could not help but emerge in her mind.

"When I return in triumph, can you get to know me again?"

(The month is low, the monthly pass is doubled, ask for a monthly pass, proud~.)
