"Ming Zhan!" Cheng Songan rushed over, put his hand on Ming Zhan's sword, and asked, "Where is the place indicated by the Cloud Piercing Arrow?"

Ming Zhan was touched when he saw how hurried she came. She had no romantic feelings for him, but she had a sense of loyalty that went beyond romantic feelings. He answered truthfully, "Blackwater River."

Cheng Songan was shocked. The Black Water River was the place where Ming Zhan died in his previous life. She asked anxiously, "Do you remember what I told you before?"

Ming Zhan nodded: "I have never forgotten it for a single day."

But across the Black Water River, beware of Ai.

Over the years, he witnessed Hu Ai grow from a small captain to a general. As Cheng Songan expected, he was a strong opponent.

Cheng Songan finally breathed a sigh of relief: "The Rouran people are bait. The real culprits are Hu'ai and Rongdi. They will definitely try every means to lure you across the Black Water River and into an ambush. How will you deal with it?"

Ming Zhan clenched the sword in his hand. Over the years, he had always paid attention to Hu Ai's military strength and tactics, practicing formations that could counter him, and was not afraid of him.

He asked back, "You have known General Lu for many years. Is he someone who would ask for help so easily?"

Cheng Songan then realized that he was being confused because of his concern. A proud man like Lu Qingshan was always unscrupulous. Even if he was cautious about Duan Zhuyu, he would never send out a distress signal casually.

All we can say is that he did it on purpose. There was something unusual about the place where the Cloud Piercing Arrow was released, and he was using this method to lure them over there.

"I'll go with you!" Cheng Songan couldn't help but get on the horse. She had practiced sword skills every day over the years and was looking forward to the day when she could pick up a sword, mount a horse, and go into battle to kill the enemy.

Ming Zhan stopped her: "How can a military advisor rush in front of the enemy so easily?"

Seeing the discouragement in her eyes, Cui Yuanqing walked over, leaned against her and whispered, "You don't have to charge into battle to kill the enemy."

Cheng Song'an was silent for a moment, and Cui Yuanqing reminded her that she had never been on the battlefield. If she rashly followed him, Ming Zhan might have to take care of her, which would be bad. She could use other methods to help.

In his previous life, Hu Ai's most glorious achievement was the Battle of Black Water River, where he risked his life by ambush- ing all his troops near the Black Water River. Ming Zhan was lured across the Black Water River and was surrounded and killed.

Now that we know Hu Ai's strategy, why not take advantage of it and annihilate his troops?

Thinking of this, Cheng Songan's eyes lit up, and he said to Ming Zhan: "Xiu Rong, give me Lu Qingshan's tiger talisman. You must deal with Hu Ai tonight. I will definitely bring people to rescue you around noon tomorrow."

Ming Xiurong immediately understood what she meant, and his blood began to boil. Hu Ai was the second prince of Rongdi's greatest support. If Hu Ai was defeated, what would the second prince be able to do? The remaining useless princes had already been seriously injured when they fought for the throne. If they were defeated one by one, the five border towns would be recovered immediately.

He suddenly felt proud: "Miss Cheng, if this is accomplished, I will definitely record your contribution in the memorial! One day, you and other soldiers will go down in history."

After saying that, he reined in his horse, turned around, and led his troops in the direction Lu Qingshan pointed.

Cheng Songan put the tiger talisman in his arms. At this moment, he said to Cui Yuanqing without any hesitation: "First, go back to the government office to find Minister Wang to get the document, and then go to Yansui to mobilize troops so that we can have a legitimate reason to go to war."

After saying this, without waiting for his response, he simply galloped away on his horse.

Cui Yuanqing seemed to have returned to more than ten years ago. Seeing the girl who stood up for justice and proudly protected Xue Tingrong behind her, she was more heart-warming than before.

He was willing to stand behind her and cheer for her.

When the two were almost at the government office, another horse came running towards them and almost collided with them. When they got closer, they found that it was Wang Lujun. Her hair was messed up from running. When she saw the two of them, she burst into tears: "Sister Cheng, little kite, little kite, has been captured!"

Cheng Songan felt a black screen before his eyes and almost fell off his horse.

Cui Yuanqing's voice became sharp: "Who is it? Which direction are you going?"

Wang Lujun pointed to a fork in the road and said, "When they came to arrest people, I happened to run into Brother Xuanwu coming back. I fought with them and chased him over there. I was not as fast as them..."

Cheng Songan gradually calmed down. These people came to the government office for no apparent reason to arrest a child. They were definitely not ordinary people. They must have regarded Xiao Fengzheng as a relative of Shangshu Wang. Their purpose should be the same as arresting Duan Zhuyu, to threaten Wang Shumian. In this case, there was no danger to his life for the time being.

Cui Yuanqing was a little out of control, and the horse under his crotch turned a few circles in annoyance with his mood. He said to Cheng Songan in a deep voice: "Go and ask Miss Wang to ask Minister Wang for the document. The plan of borrowing troops from Yansui cannot be changed. I will go to find Xiao Fengzheng."

Cheng Songan bit her lip. Cui Yuanqing was a civil official and now officially the King of Xiang's man. If he went to Yansui, he might not be able to mobilize Lu Qingshan's troops. This was related to the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers on the border, so she couldn't ignore it, so she gritted her teeth and nodded.

"Don't worry, daughter, I will definitely bring her back." Cui Yuanqing mentioned his daughter to let her know that he really treated Xiao Fengzheng as his own daughter and was going to save her.

……

Cheng Songan successfully obtained Wang Shumian's handwritten document, and took Lu Qingshan's tiger talisman and rushed to Yansui overnight. She remembered that in her previous life, Lu Qingshan had a deputy general under his command, named He Yunsong, who was a Jinshi who gave up literature and took up military studies. He and Lu Qingshan had similar temperaments and were the most brave and good at fighting. Later, he was named General of Conquering the Enemy.

When she arrived at the Lu family army's camp, she went straight to the general's tent to find He Yunsong and handed him the document and the tiger talisman. He Yunsong immediately assembled the troops and rushed to Gansu Town with her overnight.

The next day at noon on the banks of the Blackwater River.

The Ming army's battle flag was standing alone, and the river water was almost dyed red, obviously after a fierce battle, and the Ming army had already crossed the Blackwater River.

Cheng Song'an panicked and whipped his beloved horse for the first time, causing its four hooves to fly and he waded across the river for his life. He was more courageous than the soldiers who had been fighting for years. He Yunsong followed closely behind him and led the other soldiers to rush to the other side of the river.

There are mountains on the other side of the Black Water River with complex terrain, which is most suitable for hiding and a natural battlefield for night ambush and encirclement. The moment Cheng Songan crossed the river, his heart was colder than the river water. Ming Zhan's fate in this life finally overlapped with that of his previous life.

But after turning the mountain, they suddenly heard the sound of swords and knives. Ming Zhan held up another battle flag and shouted, "Soldiers, reinforcements have arrived. Follow me to counterattack Rongdi and capture Hu Ai alive."

Cheng Songan immediately burst into tears and responded loudly: "General Ming, fellow soldiers, General He Yunsong has led his troops to help us. I am following the orders of General Wang Shaobao to live and die with you all!"

The Ming army, which had been in a desperate situation, survived and attacked the hill where Hu Ai was from both sides with the elite troops led by He Yunsong. At noon, hiding was not as concealed as at night. Hu Ai lost the initiative and had fewer soldiers than this side. Soon, he was defeated.

……

Cheng Songan was soaked in blood. She had been traveling all night and fighting for a long time. She was already exhausted. Only because she was concerned about her daughter did she not collapse and returned to the government office.

Wang Lujun came out to greet her so that she would not fall off the horse.

"Little Kite..." Cheng Songan asked anxiously, grabbing her sleeve.

Wang Lujun supported her and walked into the inner courtyard. When they returned to the room, they saw Xuanwu kneeling in front of the bed with a painful look on his face, holding Xiao Fengzheng's hands with both hands. Xiao Fengzheng on the bed had his eyes closed, and his usually fair face was now black and blue, which was obviously a sign of poisoning.

Xuanwu's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he said to Cheng Songan: "I'm afraid an old friend is about to meet."
