Mu Xing's eyes darkened and he had no idea what was going on. But when he saw the person leaving, of course he followed him. However, he had a keen nature and strong intuition, so he always felt that it would not be a good thing. Google search reading

Su Xinyi took out the horse and put water barrels and poles on the horse. As usual, he went out to the city to farm. The soldiers guarding the city gate did not notice anything strange. It was probably because the war in Zhangping Mansion was urgent. The soldiers guarding the city looked serious. Unlike usual times when he was still in the mood to chat and joke with Su Xinyi, everyone had a solemn look on their faces today.

Tian Zao was still calm, but Bao Datong was a little weak in the legs. Fortunately, Tian Zao was watching him from the side so he didn't make any mistakes. After they left the city and arrived at the end of the field in disguise, he sat down on the ground with a face on his face. They are all a little whitish.

Seeing him like this, Su Xinyi thought for a while and said, "Datong, why don't you stay? You can give me a message when my brother comes back."

Upon hearing this, Bao Datong immediately jumped up from the ground and stammered: "Miss Six, I'm not afraid, I really am not afraid. This is the first time I have done such a thing, and I feel guilty."

Cao Qing was enjoying himself and stared at Bao Datong and said: "There is no shame in being afraid. If you don't want to go, you don't have to go. Anyway, you have to leave a gatekeeper at home."

Bao Datong shook his head, his face turned a little pale, and he looked at Miss Six with his eyes. Although he was still a little weak, he was very determined, "Miss Six, I want to go."

He won't forget what he came here to do. How can he be afraid? He's not afraid, but he just doesn't know what he's doing because he's never done it before.

Su Xinyi swallowed back her words of dissuasion, lowered her head and smiled, "Okay, just go. We don't know where we are going, and we have to ask someone to come back and deliver the message along the way."

Bao Datong breathed a sigh of relief and did not dare to sit anymore. He immediately stood up, packed his luggage, and unloaded the barrel from the horse.

This piece of land was not far from the city gate. They couldn't run away in broad daylight, and the crops in the land couldn't be thrown away. They picked up the bucket and started watering the ground. They didn't know when they would come back from this trip and water the ground thoroughly. Yes, it can last longer.

When the sky slowly darkened and the sight of the soldiers on the city gate was blocked, they began to walk out quietly. They met many people returning to the city along the way. A few of them sneaked away to avoid people. They waited until the sky was completely dark. Then he got on his horse and galloped away.

At this time, Pang Lan rushed to Yulin Guard with the handwriting of His Highness the Crown Prince, took out the token and entered the city smoothly. He didn't even enter the command guard and went straight to Su Xinyi's small courtyard.

Pang Lan knocked on the door several times but no one answered. A bad premonition arose in his heart. He didn't care about being rude. He gritted his teeth and climbed over the wall into the courtyard. He saw that the doors and windows in the courtyard were closed and there was no light. He My heart tightened, and I immediately stepped forward and opened the door of the main room. The inner room was quiet, and there was a letter on the square table in the middle.

Pang Lan's heart trembled, and he quickly stepped forward to pick up the envelope, only to see the words signed by his eldest brother, Su Yi, written on it.

Pang Lan immediately stuffed the letter into his arms, turned around and walked out. As he walked, he ordered his personal guards, "Go and inquire about Miss Six's whereabouts today. Be sure to find out clearly."

The personal guards took the order and left. Pang Lan went directly to see Xie Guan. Of course, he did not ask Su Xinyi's whereabouts directly, but asked a few roundabout questions. However, Xie Guan was busy mobilizing troops. Even if he knew about Su Xinyi's whereabouts, Who it is, he doesn't care about what a close person is doing at this time, and Su Xinyi always keeps to herself when she comes to Yulinwei, so naturally she won't stare at her.

However, Xie Guan was able to secure his position as the commander of the Yulin Guards. He was not a fool. He had a bad feeling, but he did not show it at all in front of Pang Lan. He sent the person away with a smile. With a dark face, he ordered the bodyguard, "Go and find out where Miss Su Liu is, and report back as soon as you find her."

Pang Lan could naturally see Xie Guan's perfunctory behavior. This perfunctory behavior was not malicious, but it did prove that Xie Guan did not attach great importance to Su Xinyi in Yulin Guard.

Pang Lan's eyebrows were sharp and his face was as dark as water. After much thought, he immediately left the city and went straight to Zhangping Mansion without delay.

At this time, Su Xinyi and others were stationed by the river. With the bright moon in the sky, it was impossible to bury a pot to make rice. Zhanqiao and the others came back from hunting a few rabbits. Su Xinyi had already lit a fire and took out salt to rub the collected rabbits. The body is placed on the fire and roasted slowly, and the aroma soon spreads, making people move their index fingers.

Mu Xing stared at the rabbit meat that had been wrapped in a golden coat, swallowed his saliva, looked at Su Xinyi and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a skill."

Su Xinyi chuckled lightly. This was her ability to survive. Sometimes she would go hunting in the mountains for several days at a time. She had to support herself, "Of course."

Mu Xing said "tsk", this sixth girl didn't know what modesty was.

The three rabbits were shared among several people, and they were barely full. The bonfire at night could not be extinguished. The grassland was full of dangers, and wolves appeared at any time. Burning a bonfire would frighten them.

The summer in the grassland is much cooler than that in Southern Qi. In the second half of the night, Su Xinyi felt a bit cold. No wonder Tatar and Oara had to send troops to plow grass and valleys in advance this year. The weather was not very good.

Su Xinyi was no longer sleepy, so she simply sat up, looked up at the stars to identify the direction, and used the weak campfire to take out a map to check the route.

"Girl." Cao Qing came over and sat down, "Why aren't you sleeping?"

Su Xinyi glanced sideways at Cao Qing, "I can't sleep, what are you doing when you get up?"

Cao Qing said: "My subordinates can't sleep either. It's a bit cold in the middle of the night. It seems we have to find a place to buy some leather clothes."

Su Xinyi nodded, "Let's change our clothes first, our outfits are too eye-catching."

Cao Qing nodded, "This is not easy to do. It's hard to find the market on the grassland."

Herdsmen live by the water, and the markets change at any time.

"Try your luck." Su Xinyi had no other choice. Money was not easy to use on the grassland. Fortunately, she had already planned and brought some tea bricks in exchange for them. These things were worth more than gold on the grassland.

Cao Qing picked up some dead branches, lit up the bonfire, took out multigrain pancakes and baked them on the branches. When they were toasted and softened, he handed them to the girl.

Su Xinyi took one and ate it slowly. The aroma of the food made several other people wake up quickly, and everyone gathered around to have breakfast.

They also had to save the water in their water bladders, as they didn't have enough water to replenish before finding a water source.

After dinner, everyone set off immediately. Obviously, their luck was not very good. Not to mention the market, they didn’t even meet anyone the whole day. Mu Xing and Tian Zao went to find water, Zhan Qiao took Bao Datong to find food, and Su Xinyi sat down. Looking at the map by the campfire, Cao Qing was responsible for guarding and cleaning up the sleeping areas.

Su Xinyi knew it was difficult. His father once said in his notes that it was common to walk on the grassland for several days without seeing anyone.

She is patient.

Dinner was very simple. We didn't even catch a pheasant, so the few of us could only soak the pancakes in water and eat them.

Zhan Qiao watched the sixth girl eating without changing his expression, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart. He thought for a while and said: "We ran a long way and only found one water source, but it was almost dry. There are pastures farther away from the water source. They are all yellow. How could we not even catch a pheasant or rabbit in previous years?”

"If this were not the case, how could these people attack Zhangping Mansion and Yulin Guard in advance?" Cao Qing frowned, the more this happened, the more disturbing it was.

Su Xinyi used the stars at night to identify the direction, and after thinking for a while, he said: "We drove all night without stopping."

None of them objected to packing up their things and moving on under the moonlight. Su Xinyi had never been to the grassland before. There were stars guiding the direction, and they went round and round along the way. The cold wind in the second half of the night made them sweat. Come.

When it was about to get dark, they stopped to rest. Su Xinyi took Mu Xing to find food this time. They didn't have much pancakes and they had to replenish their food.

Zhan Qiao took Tian Zao to go early to check if there was anyone nearby who could change some things, while Cao Qing stayed behind with Bao Datong.

The sun slowly rose and no one came back. Bao Datong couldn't sit still. He couldn't hide the anxiety on his face. He looked at Cao Qing and said, "Brother Cao, why don't I go and take a look?"

It's so tiring to wait around like this.

Cao Qing shook his head, "What if someone comes back after we leave? We don't see anything, so we think something happened."

Bao Datong opened his mouth, paused before spitting out, "Shall we leave a message on the ground?"

Cao Qing unexpectedly raised his head and glanced at Bao Datong. Unexpectedly, this kid who had only been out for a few days was actually too cautious. He continued to shake his head and said: "The grassland is vast and sparsely populated. It's normal for a longer time. You have to be patient and wait." Half an hour, if we don’t see anyone by then, we’ll look for him again.”

Bao Datong breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't sit still. He kept circling back and forth around him, making Cao Qing's eyes dizzy.

Not long after, he heard the sound of horse hooves. Bao Datong's eyes lit up and he turned around to look over. It didn't take long to see Zhan Qiao and Tian Zao. He hurriedly raised his hand to say hello.

When the two of them walked in, they saw that each of them was carrying a big baggage on their backs. Bao Datong hurriedly stepped forward to help unload it and asked in surprise: "What is this?"

"Clothes." Tian Zao, who had always been cold-faced, smiled happily this time.

Zhan Qiao walked to Cao Qing and asked, "Miss Six is ​​not back yet?"

Cao Qing nodded, "What did you get back?"

"Clothes." Zhan Qiao said with a smile, "I was lucky. I met a small group of migrating herdsmen and exchanged them with them. Don't tell me that using tea bricks is indeed better than gold and silver. A small tea brick can be used to exchange for so many clothes."

Cao Qing was also pleasantly surprised, "You are so lucky. Those herdsmen are not hostile to you?"

"Hey, the people above are fighting and the people below still have to live. Otherwise, if the border markets are closed, why would there be so many people secretly exchanging things?" Zhan Qiao didn't take it to heart, "And these people we met have also been observed carefully. Most of them are old, young, women and children, and the strong men in the family may have been taken away. Survival is more important than anything else. "

That's true.

While they were talking, Su Xinyi and Mu Xing also came back. This time they brought back two hares and a little lamb, which shocked everyone.

Mu Xing looked at the happy expressions of everyone, and then looked at the calm face of the sixth girl, whose expression was very subtle.

Everyone was asking questions. On the other side, Tian Zao and Bao Datong were already killing rabbits and sheep neatly.

Su Xinyi looked at the curious eyes of several people and said, "You're lucky. There is a country bumpkin about twenty miles away. There is a small forest behind the country bumpkin. The rabbit was caught there. As for the lamb, I picked it up on the way."

Picked it up?

Everyone was stunned.

Mu Xing's mouth twitched, just pick it up, he didn't see anything!

A few people looked at Mu Xing's face and vaguely guessed that the matter was probably not simple, but the sixth girl said this, so he picked it up!

The lamb was not big, but it weighed fifty or sixty pounds. It would definitely be more than enough to eat in one meal. Everyone roasted the lamb and took it on the road to eat. They also changed their clothes. This outfit was very similar to herdsmen, and it was safer. a lot of.

"When we changed clothes, we asked them questions and found out that we were going the wrong way. The army that attacked Zhangping Prefecture took the east route, but we are now taking the west route. We have to turn around and go around."

Su Xinyi was silent for a while after listening to Zhan Qiao's words, then took out the map she drew and carefully checked it, and then said: "Unless the roads on the grassland have been changed to highways in recent years, otherwise we are not wrong."

Zhan Qiao was stunned, looked down at the route on the map and frowned tightly, "What's going on?"

Tian Zao looked up at the sixth girl, and said thoughtfully: "Could it be that those people deceived us? After all, we bought clothes from them, and they might have doubts in their hearts and deliberately pointed us to the wrong way."

Su Xinyi looked uncertain, thought for a while and said: "Let's go now. There is a forest around the small hill ahead. Let's hide there first."

"Yes, if those people really get suspicious, they will definitely report it to the higher-ups, and someone might come after us." Zhan Qiao's expression also became serious.

Su Xinyi nodded slightly, "It would be great if someone really came."

Everyone:...

Is this okay?

Su Xinyi smiled and said nothing. If someone really came to chase them, wouldn't this be a free guide? Following these people, they could find their tent.

They hid in the small forest where Su Xinyi had hunted before, and there was a small hill. Although it was too short to be called a mountain, it had some terrain advantages nearby.

After tying the horses deep in the forest, several people immediately divided the work, and Su Xinyi didn't have to tell them anything.

Zhan Qiao took Tian Zao to investigate, Bao Datong fed the horses, Cao Qing and Mu Bu checked the surrounding terrain, and she slowly walked to the bottom of the hill to find a hidden place, leaned against the tree trunk, took out her waist knife and wiped it slowly.

The sun was a little hot in the morning, and it was hot on people's bodies. Even with the shade of trees, the heat was still unstoppable.

Suddenly, her ears moved, and she immediately leaned down and lay on the ground to listen. She quickly stood up, put the knife back into the sheath, and strode to Zhan Qiao's side and looked into the distance.

"Miss, is there something wrong?" Zhan Qiao knew that the girl had some skills and immediately asked.

Su Xinyi looked far away and paused for a while before saying, "Someone is coming from the north."

Zhan Qiao was stunned. Before he could ask another question, he heard Tian Zao say, "Miss, you are really amazing. There is a cavalry!"

Zhan Qiao immediately looked back and saw that there was indeed a small black dot at the end of the sky moving like a gust of wind. Soon, it could be seen that it was indeed a cavalry. There were not many people, only a dozen people, but the armor was bright. It didn't look like they were wandering around.

Su Xinyi immediately waved her hand, "Go down!"

The three of them immediately retreated carefully from the mound into the forest to meet up with the other people. After knowing the situation, they all looked at Su Xinyi.

Su Xinyi said, "Wait for them to turn back from here and follow them from a distance."

"What if we are discovered?" Cao Qing asked, "There is no cover on the grassland. Once we leave the forest, we will be easily discovered."

Su Xinyi said lightly, "It doesn't matter. We are farther away. I will listen to the sound of the earthquake. Besides, there are always traces of horses running on the grassland. We won't be discovered."

Everyone was stunned. No wonder the girl knew there was a horse team before.

Everyone's expression suddenly became happy. They immediately started to pack up, took out their weapons to check, fed the horses, and waited for the cavalry to turn back.

From the direction they chased, it was exactly where they had passed before. It seemed that they were indeed targeted when they were buying things.

The sky gradually darkened. These people had not turned back yet. Bao Datong was a little impatient and asked in a low voice: "Will they go in another direction?"

"It may not be impossible." Mu Xing nodded. It seemed that they were killers and would never go back.

Su Xinyi couldn't guarantee it, so she thought for a while and said, "Wait another hour. If we still can't wait, we'll go on our own."

If we continue to wait, we may not get anyone, and we may even get into danger.

An hour is long, but it's also short.

No one was waiting.

Everyone was a little disappointed. Such a good opportunity... Alas.

Su Xinyi looked normal, and glanced at everyone, "Let's go."

Everyone got on the horse, thinking that they would continue to go north, but the sixth girl got on the horse and headed straight to the southwest. Everyone was slightly stunned, but they immediately chased after her.

Su Xinyi stopped several times to dismount and explore along the way. Everyone saw her looking for something on the grass, but Mu Xing seemed to be thinking about something, and soon dismounted with Su Xinyi to check.

Zhan Qiao and Cao Qing also understood, but they didn't know how to do this, so they could only follow.

"The number of horse hoof prints has indeed decreased. It seems that the girl's suspicion that they split up was correct." Mu Xing said after another investigation, "I'll go back and catch up with them from another road."

Su Xinyi shook her head, "No, we are too few to split up."

"There are only a dozen people and they split up. It seems that they should send letters separately. Aren't they a group?" Zhan Qiao guessed.

Cao Qing reached out and poked him, then turned his head to look in the direction of Zhangping Prefecture.

Zhan Qiao immediately understood that this was to send a letter to the people who attacked Zhangping Prefecture.

Tsk, they really valued them!

Several people looked at Su Xinyi and waited for her to make a decision.

Su Xinyi was silent for a while, then looked at everyone, "It is possible to send a letter to the enemy army attacking Zhangping Prefecture, but there is another possibility that these people deliberately split up to trick us."

It is indeed possible.

"What should we do?" There are only a few of them. Even if they know the enemy's strategy, they can't fully understand it.

"The people on the grassland are so alert. It seems that the situation is really bad. We can no longer be found and walk around inhabited areas." Su Xinyi said after thinking, and their remaining food is limited and they cannot stay in the grassland for a long time. Upper spin.

No one had any objections. Su Xinyi took out the map and pointed in a direction, "Go here."

The night wind blew more and more coolness on the face. Su Xinyi wrapped her clothes tightly and drove her horse forward. Before dawn, we encountered a water hole. We stopped to replenish the water supply and eat something to cushion our stomachs. We didn't dare to open the fire, so we swallowed the cold water with the barbecue. The taste was indeed not very good.

Following the route on the map, several people walked day and night. They were all like savages. They did not dare to light a bonfire all night and had to guard against wolves. In a few days, several people lost weight.

Su Xinyi wrapped the horse's hooves with cloth so that it would not make much noise when running at night. She waved her hand to make people stop. These days, several people were used to reining in the horse immediately.

Su Xinyi's eyes were staring ahead. The silence in the night was particularly breathtaking. Soon, they heard the faint sound of horse hoofbeats. After a while, the sound of horse hoofbeats became clearer and clearer.

Soon the light of torches appeared in the night, and the dragon-like motorcade appeared in everyone's sight.

Fortunately, the team was far away from them, and they would not be discovered as long as they stayed still.

"Is this a horse team transporting grain?" Zhan Qiao lowered his voice a little excitedly.

"It seems so." Cao Qing couldn't see clearly, as the distance was a bit far away, so he could only get a rough look through the corner of the torch, but it was true that there was a long carriage following the convoy.

What is the purpose of such a long team if not transporting food?

The eyes of several people immediately lit up, staring into the distance like wolves.

These days were really hard. They thought they would not be able to find the enemy's tent on the grassland of Nuoda, let alone the granary.

Who would have thought that they would meet them like this? Hey, this luck... so many days of hard work are worth it!

I also think of Miss Six who has been constantly adjusting her route these days. Isn’t it possible that Miss Six can count on this?

The corner of Su Xinyi's mouth curved slightly, and she said to the people around her: "It should be a Tatar food convoy. Let's follow it from a distance and wait and see."

It was easier at night, but during the day they did not dare to follow too closely, so they could only stay far away. Moreover, the food convoy drove all night, with very little rest time, and it looked like they were in a hurry.

Su Xinyi thought that the Tatar frontline troops attacking Zhangping Prefecture were in short supply, but the enemy's convoy was so long that they had no chance to eat them all. If they acted impulsively, they might be dumped by the enemy.

Su Xinyi was always patient, so he took out the map and surveyed it carefully. He drew a circle with his fingers along their route over the past few days, and suddenly found that he had followed the enemy unknowingly and was almost to Zhangping Mansion!

Su Xinyi knew that he could not wait any longer. When they arrived outside Zhangping Mansion to join the army, they would have no chance!

Su Xinyi's eyes fell on Guanshan Pass, less than fifty miles away from Zhangping Mansion, and her fingertips landed there.

Zhan Qiao asked: "Girl, are you planning to take action at Guan Shan Pass?"

"The last chance." Su Xinyi said, "But we need people to cooperate."

Cao Qing and Zhan Qiao looked at each other, then both looked at Bao Datong.

Bao Datong was so frightened that his two legs trembled. Look... what does he do?

Tian Zao also understood, looked at Bao Datong and said, "Do you dare to bypass the enemy and return to the city to deliver the message?"

Bao Datong didn't dare, but when he met the fiery eyes of several people, he swallowed his saliva and nodded.

Su Xinyi looked at Bao Datong, "If you don't have paper and pen, you can only bring a message. His Royal Highness is in Zhangping Mansion. You go directly to see Mr. Yang Jinyang who is next to His Highness. If you can't see anyone, you go to my elder brother... "

Bao Datong took note of the girl's words carefully, got on his horse under the cover of night, and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.
