It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

The strong wind made the fire burn more and more fiercely, dyeing the entire sky red and making the lake look even more red.

"thump."

In order to avoid being burned to death, a large number of Northern Qiang soldiers rushed to jump into the lake.

Lu Sui had already arranged soldiers who were good at swimming to ambush in the water.

As soon as they jumped into the lake, before they could even slide their hands a few times, they heard a scream and were dragged underwater. Soon their bodies floated to the surface.

The leader of the Northern Qiang Army this time was a famous general in the Northern Qiang. Basically, as long as he went on an expedition, he never lost a battle.

In the hearts of the Northern Qiang people, he is like a god.

And today, his undefeated legend will be ended by Lu Sui.

"Om."

The long sword was unsheathed, flashing coldly in the moonlight. Lu Sui raised it high and shouted, "Kill!"

Under his command, the Swift Wind Army rushed forward, armed with spears and short blades, with a determination to win.

Roars, weapons clashing, swords piercing flesh, all kinds of sounds intertwined together, this is the cruel war.

"General, it's bad, the Dazhao army is attacking."

"what?"

The Northern Qiang general who was commanding on the deck of the ship jumped up, quickly entered the cabin and looked at the topographic map in the middle of the table.

"East, West, South, North, what's the situation now?"

"There are Da Zhao troops on all sides, and there is no way to escape."

Hearing his subordinate's answer, the Northern Qiang general looked unhappy: "Impossible!"

"General, there is a way here."

One of the subordinates pointed to the left side of the topographic map and said, "Before, I surveyed the terrain and found that if we walk from here, there is a cliff, but it is not high. If we go down from here, we can get out."

The Northern Qiang general frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Prepare a small boat immediately and we will set off immediately."

"Yes."

For the Northern Qiang Army, the general is their backbone.

So they will definitely try their best to cover the general's departure.

"Young Marquis, Young Marquis!"

Li Yan rode over and killed several Northern Qiang soldiers casually before coming to Lu Sui: "The Northern Qiang general is not on the main ship."

"sure?"

Lu Sui frowned and looked up at the almost burned boat: "It seems that he is trying to escape. Li Yan, you immediately organize a group of people to find his whereabouts. If you can't catch him alive, just shoot him and report back."

"Yes!"

Li Yan clasped his fists, turned his horse around, and soon he led a group of people to the east.

"Li Yan, wait, I'll go with you."

Meng Qiongyue caught up.

"You stay here and protect the young marquis' safety. What are you asking me to do?" Li Yan frowned. It was not that he was unwilling, but the mission was too dangerous.

"It's enough for Mu Yu to protect the young marquis." Meng Qiongyue pulled the reins, "He needs it more than I do."

Li Yan was startled, thinking back to the days he spent with Meng Qiongyue and Mu Yu, he realized: "Haven't you always wanted to prove yourself?"

"It's not necessary to prove himself this time, but for Mu Yu..." Meng Qiongyue turned her head and glanced at Mu Yu who was fighting the enemy, "From the beginning, I could see that he was under a lot of pressure. The incident with Mu Qing was a big blow to him, so he had to make a name for himself to shut up those people with ulterior motives."

"Right."

Li Yan nodded: "Let's go, but I have to tell you in advance that you have to protect yourself."

"I know. I won't cause you any trouble." Meng Qiongyue grinned and swung the reins. "Go!"

The two of them brought a group of people and quickly arrived at the place where the Northern Qiang General was about to escape. With the help of the fire that was still burning not far away, Li Yan and Meng Qiongyue saw that the Northern Qiang General was getting on a small boat and preparing to escape under the cover of his subordinates.

"Did the young marquis say that we should try our best to capture them alive?" Meng Qiongyue asked while estimating the distance.

"There's a cliff ahead. If I jump down, I might not be able to catch anyone and be swept away by the undercurrent." Li Yan took out a bow and arrow. "Even if I can't kill him, I'll at least seriously injure him."

"Wait a moment."

Meng Qiongyue stopped Li Yan and said, "General Beiqiang is a talented person. If we can capture him alive, we can get valuable clues from him. If he dies, the value will be greatly reduced. You also know that our emperor has full of malice towards the young marquis."

"But the water is flowing fast. People who are good at swimming have already gone into the water."

"Then there's me."

"you?"

Li Yan's eyes widened, and the next second he shook his head like a rattle: "No, if anything happens to you, even if the young marquis doesn't bother me, the Third Young Master Shangguan will definitely twist my head off with his bare hands."

"He wouldn't be that violent, don't talk nonsense."

As Meng Qiongyue spoke, she had already begun to undress: "I was able to conquer this undercurrent when I was ten years old."

"No."

Li Yan stopped her: "You can't be so impulsive."

"I'm not impulsive. I'm considering the overall situation." Meng Qiongyue took off all her clothes except for one single piece of clothing. "When I was a child, my adoptive father beat me, so I jumped into the water and stayed underwater until they were scared, then I came ashore. Because I'm not in good health, I chose to jump into the river in the middle of winter to exercise myself. Although there is a cliff ahead, the current is not very turbulent. You and the others can find a way to get rid of that group of looters, and I'll find a way to capture the Northern Qiang general alive."

Meng Qiongyue's face was full of determination: "I must catch this big fish."

"Hey……"

By the time Li Yan reacted, Meng Qiongyue had already quietly gone down to the river.

"Come here and cover Deputy General Meng."

It was too late to stop Meng Qiongyue now, so Li Yan immediately changed his strategy and began to prepare to eliminate the subordinates of the Northern Qiang General.

The water was deep and cold.

But the excitement and excitement in my heart have long overcome the cold and fear.

Meng Qiongyue bit the dagger in her mouth, dived into the water, and approached the boat little by little.

"Hurry up, hurry up."

When the Northern Qiang general was fleeing, he was reluctant to part with the money he had plundered from the people. When he got into the boat and was about to leave, he suddenly ordered his subordinates: "Don't keep any of the women on the boat."

"Yes."

"call out!"

As soon as the subordinate finished speaking, an arrow flew from nowhere and hit his chest.

Blood splashed on the face of the Northern Qiang general. He was stunned for three seconds and immediately shouted: "There is an assassin, there is..."

"call out--"

Arrows kept coming towards this side like rain.

The Northern Qiang general was forced to stand up, draw his sword and block the cold arrow.

"what."

"Uh."

One after another, the subordinates were hit by arrows and fell to the ground.

The Northern Qiang general looked as if something was wrong and immediately got into the boat with his head in his hands, rowing frantically in preparation for escape.

but……

He couldn't row.

He didn't believe it and tried a few more times, but it still didn't move.

For a moment, he got goosebumps all over his body, and he was sure that there was something under the water.

"Wow."

In a moment, Meng Qiongyue jumped out of the water and into the boat.
