Qi Yu's heart skipped a beat, Feng Qingmo really asked this question! She pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Weren't you the one who sent them out?"
Feng Qingmo stared into Qi Yu's eyes, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "You want to hide even your own brother?"
Qi Yu was a little nervous in her heart, but she still kept a smile on her face: "What can I hide from you?"
Feng Qingmo turned towards the direction of the battlefield and spoke unhurriedly: "When those war horses rushed out, it was very obvious that you were pleasantly surprised, and not surprised. This means that you know how those war horses came about, and who manipulated them from behind. "
Damn, the situation was so critical at that time, yet he still noticed her expression! Qi Yu had no choice but to admire and to explain, "You don't think that the masters of those war horses have ulterior motives, do you?"
"Of course not." A gentle smile appeared in Feng Qingmo's eyes, "I know very well, he came for me to free myself, and also for the safety of the Great Dongluo."
So, what he meant was, he guessed that the owner of the warhorses was Chu Yixuan?
Qi Yu stared intently into Feng Qingmo's eyes: "So?"
"Therefore," Feng Qingmo slightly raised his brows, a bright smile appearing in his eyes. "Once the great battle is over, I will request for the Emperor's help for both of you."
He had indeed guessed it!
Qi Yu could not deny it, even if she denied it, it would not affect his judgement! Since she knew that Chu Yixuan was still alive, then other than Chu Yixuan, who else could help him this time.
It couldn't possibly be Helian Jing or Princess Zhuo Hua, right?
"It's not good to deal with smart people." Qi Yu curled her lips.
"What do you mean?"
"A smart person knows everything, but the existence of others is worthless!"
Feng Qingmo laughed. Do you want to invite him into the Kang City? "
Qi Yu immediately stared at him vigilantly, "What are you doing?"
Feng Qingmo smiled and shook his head, "He's your husband and also my younger brother. Could it be that I will harm him? "
This was quite impressive! Qi Yu sighed, "But he won't come."
"Why?"
"He said he didn't want to affect your position."
Feng Qingmo was silent. Qi Yu was thinking, could it be that he was worried about this as well? Feng Qingmo continued: "Then let's not force him for now! Wait until we get back to the Ji City. "
Maybe, only by doing this would he be able to protect Chu Yixuan and Qi Yu.
Feng Qingmo gazed silently at the Eastern Barbarian Camp that was faintly discernable under the mist in the distance, and thoughtfully said: "What do you think he would do after Helian Cheng won this battle?"
Qi Yu blinked her eyes, "Tell me, will he come to attack Kang City? Would you like to use his big windmill to throw the mercury ball into the Kang City? "
Feng Qingmo was shocked. He turned and looked at Qi Yu: "Tell me in detail."
Qi Yu had only said that casually in the beginning, but after being asked by Feng Qingmo, she could only continue to lie: "Do you think that he will take advantage of this victory to launch a surprise attack tonight?"
Feng Qingmo frowned slightly, "It seems that I have no choice but to be on guard against this plan."
"How are you going to defend yourself?"
"According to your calculations, how far should we go to Eastern Barbarian's windmill?"
"A hundred meters?"
"What?" Feng Qingmo was clearly startled.
Qi Yu made a quick unit conversion in her mind, "Three hundred meters?"
Feng Qingmo muttered to himself for a moment, then said to the guards behind him: "Pass down the order, the great army will leave from the back gate, and camp at the peach field. The entire city's population will retreat to the main camp, temporarily waiting for the new order."
"Also," Qi Yu added, "Once news is released, just say that the soldiers who were poisoned today are very strong and are no longer able to fight, the crown prince has requested for assistance from the troops in Pingsha City."
"Yes sir!"
Feng Qingmo looked at Qi Yu in doubt: "You think that Dan Shu's people are still in the city? would they send messages to the Eastern Barbarian? "
Qi Yu said: "Otherwise, how would Helian Cheng know that Dan Shu had died in Kang City?"
Feng Qingmo frowned: "If I do not find these spies, my Kang City will be broken by Helian Cheng sooner or later!"
Qi Yu pursed her lips and smiled: "It won't be difficult to uncover these people."
Feng Qingmo was a little surprised: "What method do you have?"
Qi Yu laughed slyly: "Then I'll have to trouble you!"
Feng Qingmo couldn't help but smile. Little girl, you sure have a lot of ideas! Then he would just wait and see, and see what method she prepared to use to attract Dan Shu or his Eastern Barbarian to place them in the details!
— —
The Eastern Barbarian camp was currently quiet.
Although he had won the battle, Helian Cheng still had a displeased expression on his face.
It was that group of armored war horses that came out to make trouble again! If the war horses had not charged into the camp, how could the arrow formation have failed? When the Dongluo Soldiers could not hold on any longer, he decided to personally fly horse over and capture Chu Yihan alive!
If the Dongluo Crown Prince was already in his hands, then wouldn't the Kang City be effortless?!
The formation was instantly thrown into chaos. He had ordered to kill the war horses, but the war horses had extremely hard armor, so they couldn't even defend themselves. In the end, he watched them run away helplessly, his heart filled with hatred but also helplessness!
Right now, Helian Cheng had to consider the question, who was the owner of that group of warhorses?
First, he had saved Xu Rouzhi. This time, he was going against him in order to help the Kang City.
That mysterious man was related to Xu Rouzhi?
Could it be … Chu Yixuan?
He was sure that the man was not Chu Yihan, and was definitely not the sword master Jun Zibi. Jun Zibi had openly been together with Xu Rouzhi previously, but now that Xu Rouzhi was in trouble, he did not need to be so mysterious if he wanted to save someone.
Moreover, Jun Zibi was just a martial artist, how could he train his warhorses for no reason, and even train his warhorses to be equipped with such strong equipment?
Helian Cheng fiercely smashed his fist on the table. Damn it, hateful!
Presumably, it was Chu Yixuan!
How did that old thief Xu Chang manage to do things? He didn't kill Chu Yixuan, and the result was such a troublesome situation!
Now, before he could take down the Kang City, another Chu Yixuan suddenly appeared. This won't do, he had to finish this battle quickly and deal with Chu Yihan quickly!
At this time, Di Ying rushed into the tent and delivered a secret letter to Helian Cheng: "Main Marshal, our people have sent some news, today's Dongluo soldiers are very heavily poisoned and are no longer able to fight. The Crown Prince of Dongluo is worried that we will launch a sneak attack on them tonight, so he led all of his soldiers and civilians and evacuated the Kang City from the back of the city gates to set up camp at Pingsha City and requested for reinforcements to help them in an attempt to rush to Pingsha City so that they can only fight against our army when the reinforcements arrive."
"Oh?" Helian Cheng took the secret letter and skimmed through it. Indeed, that was what the letter had said. He couldn't help but frown. "Are those soldiers really deeply poisoned?"
"Yes, I heard that their Princess Qi used egg white to detoxify the soldiers, but the effects weren't too obvious. By dusk, all the soldiers had deeper symptoms of being poisoned, and now, the Dongluo Army Camp has turned into a pot of porridge!"
"Is that so?" "This is actually the first time I've heard that egg white can cure the mercury poison. That Xu Rouzhi is really bold and reckless, daring to use the lives of over a thousand soldiers to joke around, and she actually dares to tolerate her and allow her to do whatever she wants?"
"I've heard that the Crown Prince of the Dongluo dotes on the Princess Qi and he usually takes great care of him. The relationship between the two is very subtle, that's why …"
"What a beauty disaster!" Helian Cheng's face was cold, "If that's really the case, I'm afraid we have a way to deal with the Crown Prince of Dongluo!"
Di Ying immediately asked: "Does the main marshal have a plan?"
Helian Cheng replied: "If you have a way to reply, get your subordinates to probe and confirm the attitude of the Dongluo Prince towards Xu Rouzhi. If they truly have feelings for Xu Rouzhi, we can try to catch Xu Rouzhi and use her to lure the Crown Prince out of the city, and then take him down in one fell swoop! "
"Good!" This subordinate will pass on the message right now! "
Just as Di Ying was about to turn around, a subordinate hurriedly entered and handed over a secret letter.
Helian Cheng was somewhat puzzled. He took the secret letter and opened it. He could not help but be stunned.
Di Ying looked at Helian Cheng and asked, "Commander, has there been any change?"
Helian Cheng passed the secret letter to Di Ying, "Take a look."
Di Ying received the secret letter, which was scribbled: "A secret meeting between the Crown Prince of Dongluo and the Princess Qi Cave has not taken place. The two of them are afraid of a personal relationship, this subordinate will first go and take a look, and are willing to wait for an opportunity to capture him alive."
Di Ying said happily: "Master, they really have something up their sleeves! Was it not a good thing for us to doze off and run into a pillow? No need to go through so much trouble, you can easily capture the two of them! "
However, Helian Cheng frowned. "We were just using the relationship between the two of us to capture Chu Yihan alive, and then the two of them went to meet in the cave. Isn't that too much of a coincidence?"
Di Ying was startled: "Master is worried that this is a trap?"
"If it's a trap, wouldn't our men be exposed?"
"This …"
Helian Cheng was silent for a long time, and then said, "You don't have to reply to them. Just wait and see. If it's not possible, then let's force our way up tonight, take down the Kang City, and directly attack Peach Blossom! "
"As you command, Commander!"
Behind the Kang City, two miles away from the Kang City.
The Kang City was not as flat and spacious as it was before, and it had a vast field of vision. On both sides of the peach field were mountains and in the middle was a wide lawn, which was named after a few wild peach trees.
Now, to set up camp, the trees had been cut down. The troops and citizens of Kang City squeezed here, filling this peach field to the brim and giving it a feeling of being overcrowded.
Qi Yu left the army after finding some medicinal herbs from the mountain above. With light footsteps, she walked towards the foot of the mountain with a small bamboo basket in her hands.
After a short while, Feng Qingmo also quietly left the camp, and without a servant following behind him, he circled around and also arrived at the foot of the mountain where Qi Yu was.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a small cave. The cave was very secretive, and the entrance was covered by dense rhododendrons. People outside the cave could not see into the cave, especially in the dark night.
A crescent moon was faintly discernible in the clouds. The light was sometimes bright, sometimes dim, and sometimes unclear.
Under the moonlight, a young man dressed as a commoner quietly approached the cave and hid behind the rhododendrons.
This late at night to gather herbs? The Princess Qi probably wants to lie to a ghost! It wasn't convenient to do something with the crown prince in the military tent, so he had to find this cave, right?
Aiya, this pair of handsome, hot-blooded men and women. One of them is a young man while the other one is a widow whose husband has just died.
