Elder Xiao wiped the sweat from his head, panting and leaning against a tree, saying, "I can't run anymore. Let's take a break."

Yao Chuguang coughed several times out of exhaustion before he caught his breath and nodded.

Upon seeing this, General Park immediately ordered the entire army to rest and reorganize on the spot.

Elder Xiao pounded his old arms and legs, found a flat surface to sit down on, and sighed, "I have to admit I'm getting old. Running these few steps almost cost me my life."

Yao Chuguang's face was pale as he tried hard to control his breathing. This old fox usually looked like he had to stop and catch his breath after walking a few steps.

Unexpectedly, it was all fake. He ran faster than her when he was escaping.

Yao Chuguang walked over to Elder Xiao and patted his shoulder. Elder Xiao looked up and asked unhappily, "What's the matter?"

Hey! This old fox is no longer pretending.

Yao Chuguang didn't get angry and asked, "How is it? My trick of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west is brilliant, isn't it?"

Lord Xiao... I've never seen anyone with such a thick skin. The words "Praise me" are almost written on his face.

Xiao Ge Lao smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty is very good at planning. Although we have crossed the Liuli River, we are still surrounded by the enemy. What is your Majesty's plan for the next step?"

Yao Chuguang raised his chin and said, "As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest. Let's go back."

A trace of panic appeared on Xiao Ge Lao's face. He looked at Yao Chuguang in disbelief and repeated word by word, "Go back..."

Yao Chuguang said confidently, "What the book says is correct."

Xiao Ge Lao gasped for breath, gritting his teeth in shock and fear and roaring, "Damn it! I am well-educated. I dare not say that I have read all the books in the world, but I have read a lot and have never heard such a ridiculous thing."

Elder Xiao had a murderous look on his face, as if if Yao Chuguang dared to reveal the book, he would destroy it immediately.

Yao Chuguang realized belatedly that this famous saying, which was well-known in his previous life, was indeed a bit shocking in this era.

Yao Chuguang thought that he still had to explain, otherwise it would be bad to scare this old fox into having problems.

Yao Chuguang pondered for a moment and said, "If we want to break out now, we have to pass through Moshi Mountain. It will be difficult to break out with our current strength."

"We have already withdrawn from Yundu City. Zhou Ze must be eager to take Yundu City and solidify his position as the orthodox one."

"Zhou Ze's attention must be on Moshi Mountain right now. He's probably thinking of encircling and attacking us. His backup defenses must be weak, so we can surprise him with a surprise attack."

"Only by disrupting the enemy's layout can we find their weaknesses and deliver a fatal blow."

Elder Xiao pondered for a long time. Although Yao Chuguang's move was extremely risky and the entire army would be wiped out if he was not careful, the benefits would also be huge.

In this situation, we can only take risky measures to find a way out.

Elder Xiao stood up with difficulty, took a deep breath, and answered with a slightly trembling voice: "Okay! Let's go back."

The head of the Wu family watched from the side, his face pale and his body stiff. He stammered for a long time and couldn't form a complete sentence.

This... do you agree to this?

Li Jinglong was shocked for a long time, his body trembling slightly, and he spoke incoherently... Are all the people of Qi so crazy?

Yao Chuguang acted immediately and divided his troops into two groups. As usual, he sent a small group of troops to disguise as the main force and attack Moshi Mountain to attract the main force of the Western Border Army.

Yao Chuguang led the main force to take a detour back to Liuli River, crossed the river again and headed towards Yundu City.

As night fell, candles lit up brightly in the Western Frontier Army tents, and the miniature city on the sand table looked exceptionally lifelike under the candlelight.

Zhou Ze stood in front of the sand table, his brows furrowed, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, making a rhythmic "tapping" sound.

"Your Highness, Yundu City is under our control, but once the Qi army is free, it will pose a threat to us." A general pointed at Yundu City on the sand table and said in a low voice.

Zhou Ze nodded, his eyes sharp. "Yes, we must be fully prepared. The walls of Yundu City may be strong, but without sufficient troops to defend them, they will be nothing more than a pile of wasteland."

At this moment, a spy rushed in, knelt on one knee, and reported anxiously: "Report! Your Majesty, traces of the Qi army have been found near Moshi Mountain."

Zhou Ze's eyes flashed with excitement. He stood up suddenly and said "good! Good! Good! We finally caught the big fish, Yao Chuguang."

Zhou Ze immediately gave the order: "Pass on my order to send more troops to Moshi Mountain. Don't even a fly dare to fly out of Moshi Mountain, let alone people."

Unexpectedly, not long after the transfer order was issued, another spy came to report: "Report! Your Majesty, the Liuli River Ferry was attacked by the Qi army."

Zhou Ze sneered, "It's the same trick again! Yao Chuguang must be deliberately feinting an attack on Liuli River to disperse my forces."

Yao Chuguang finally escaped, could he come back and fall into the trap again?

It must be the old trick of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. He was fooled the first time, so how could he be fooled the second time?

Zhou Ze said in a deep voice, "Pass the order down. Concentrate all our forces to capture Yao Chuguang at Moshi Mountain. Only a small force will be left to defend Liuli River."

Seeing Zhou Ze's beaming face, the generals around him immediately stepped forward to flatter him, saying, "Your Highness is far-sighted and truly predicts things. This time, we will surely capture the Empress of Qi."

Zhou Ze nodded, his eyes full of pride.

The general on the other side saw this, his eyes darted, and he said with a lewd smile, "Your Highness, I heard that the Queen of Qi is less than 20 years old and has a beautiful appearance. There are many beautiful women, but there is only one Queen in the world."

Zhou Ze picked up the teacup and took a sip, an intriguing smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

It has to be said that this general hit upon Zhou Ze's unknown thoughts.

Now that Yao Chuguang has lost her protection, she is indeed a hot commodity in the eyes of men all over the world. Whoever gets Yao Chuguang is equivalent to owning the current Qi State.

Zhou Ze was indeed considering that if Yao Chuguang was sensible, he could spare her life.

Let Yao Chuguang surrender to Qi and retreat to the backyard to serve me. It is not impossible to give her a status.

Although this woman is too ambitious, it must be said that she still has some abilities and means.

He probably won't give in easily, but it doesn't matter, he has plenty of ways to make Yao Chuguang obey.

As a woman, you only have one child in your life, so what else can you do except accept your fate?

As long as he could get Yao Chuguang, he could take over Qi without any effort.

He had failed in his fight for the throne with the former Zhou emperor and was demoted to the western border. He thought that he would never have the chance to reach that position again in this lifetime.

I didn't expect that after all the twists and turns, what belongs to him will finally be his!

As he thought about it, Zhou Zehao could no longer hide his arrogance and laughed unscrupulously.
