When Liang Guanjing heard that Songcheng was gone, she was so anxious that she immediately got on her horse and ran back to Songcheng. She still couldn't believe it, and she had to see it with her own eyes before she gave up.Chang Qinghe and Xiyu stopped her together, Chang Qinghe persuaded: "You can't take risks alone."

Liang Guanjing turned around and ordered Ling Shishi, "You take the eighteen pioneers from the battalion with you."

Qian Shanxue just fainted in Liang Guanjing's arms. At this time, Liang Guanjing had handed her over to Ling Shishi. Ling Shishi didn't know what to do, so he could only shake Qian Shanxue, hoping that she would wake up soon.

Qian Shanxue was physically exhausted, dizzy for a while but then opened his eyes again, only speaking was still weak, "When I escaped, the third master was not in the spring blessing, he was called by Miss Su, I think they will be able to meet again when they are together." Bad luck turned good."

Liang Guanjing looked west at Songcheng, and said in a low voice: "With all the nest, how can there be any eggs? When I left, she was about to give birth. How did they escape?"

Qian Shanxue saw the tears dripping from Liang Guanjing's chin, her heart was completely calm, and she didn't feel sorry for the dead and injured people in Songcheng. Even Liang Xuanchen, she had fallen in love with him many nights, but he never cared about his own. With some thought, of course she hopes that he will be well, but if he dies, she is willing to kowtow and burn paper for him every year, burning incense and chanting scriptures.At this moment, Qian Shanxue was only concentrating on admiring the crystal clear tears, she felt that the heartbroken Liang Guanjing in front of her was really beautiful, even if she turned her back to her, leaving only a back view, it was so beautiful that she was fascinated by it.

Liang Guanjing couldn't remember when was the last time she cried. It seemed to be many, many years ago, as long as in her last life. She vaguely remembered that she couldn't beat the fourth brother, and she was not convinced, so she had to mess around. Everyone in the circle was laughing, and it wasn't a joke. She just finds it amusing to see her rushing like that.It was Liang Xuanchen who pulled her away, and he was determined to help her vent her anger. That night, the two of them squatted in the armory to practice Qi. After third brother's persuasion, she held back tears and told herself that whatever happened, Crying can't solve the problem, even if crying can attract sympathy and help, she doesn't care.

When she lost her beloved son twice, she never cried. She said to herself, I can always find the living ones, and I can't keep the dead ones.

So now, why is she standing here crying?

Gently wiped away the tears with her fingertips, she turned her head and said firmly, "Master Chang, I will take the people under Ling Shisi to Songcheng to find out the truth, and Xiyu will go with me. There are 20 of us in a group. The outpost. You stay here to guard Beiping, and you have a heavy responsibility. You cannot slack off. The Jurchens and the Mongols split into two groups and went south from Shanhai Pass and Yanmen Pass. I am afraid it is a good plan. It's your responsibility and I'll let it go."

Chang Qinghe said: "Brother Zhongjin, there are rumors in the army that the Empress Dowager was guarding Beiping. During the Battle of Hehuadian, some people even recognized you with their own eyes. If you leave now, I'm afraid it will shake the morale of the army."

Liang Guanjing said: "You are the commander of the Dragon and Tiger Guard, the commander of the first army, so you have no confidence in yourself?" After she finished speaking, she got on the horse, took Xiyu and Ling Shishi and left immediately.

Qian Shanxue looked at her disappearing figure, and said leisurely: "I rode a horse for two days and two nights to get here, and the bones in my whole body are about to fall apart. How did you survive?"

Changqinghedao: "It's fine if you get used to it. I heard that those fishermen who make a living on the water can only sleep when they lie on the water. If they go to the ground, they can hardly walk."

Qian Shanxue nodded, "That's right! Lord Chang, I'll borrow your horse." After speaking, she got on her horse and followed Liang Guanjing.

Chang Qinghe yelled, "Hey! My horse! Can't you let me walk back? Damn it!" After speaking, he blew a whistle, and the horse was quite spiritual, and immediately stopped and started to fight Turns out, no matter how Qian Shanxue clamped the horse's belly and whipped it, it was useless.

Chang Qinghe got on his horse and sat behind Qian Shanxue, and slowly rode his horse back to the camp.

Qian Shanxue was in a hurry, seeing Liang Guanjing disappearing at the end of the green field, she turned around and gave Chang Qinghe a wink, "Master Chang, my family has worked so hard to inform you, why don't you reward me with something? How about Just give me the horse."

"It's easy to talk, I'll give you another horse when I get back to the camp."

Qian Shanxue said again: "Master Chang, if you and I are not intimate, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to ride together."

Chang Qinghe said: "Okay, okay, you, she-damn, a kiln sister who still has sex with me, don't use the tricks in the kiln to pour my ecstasy soup, I will stay in Chunfu that night, you will be there Are you listening to the corner outside? Then you should know me, I like the tone of your Mu Daguan, I am not close to women."

Qian Shanxue's face suddenly became serious, and he took out the dagger from his sleeve and stabbed at him. Chang Qinghe almost fell into her way, but fortunately, he has been practicing martial arts all year round, so he turned sideways this time, and quickly pressed his backhand to hold it down. took the dagger.Chang Qinghe immediately raised his knee and pushed Qian Shanxue off the horse.Qian Shanxue fell embarrassingly into the wetland by the lake, covered in muddy water. When she got up, Chang Qinghe had already walked several steps away.

"You are a weak woman, don't run away. Turn around, you officials blame me for not being sympathetic. I will go to the camp and bring you a horse. No, no, no, I will get you a carriage to make you feel comfortable." Clothes, lie down and go back, okay?" After finishing speaking, he rode his horse in a dawdly manner, and left in a cool and unrestrained manner.

Qian Shanxue was exhausted, so she simply found the clean grass next to her and lay down on her back. Her killing intent came and went quickly. At this time, the autumn air was crisp, the reed flowers were swaying, and the Wengshan Pond was picturesque.Lying here, she felt as if she had died, and as if the phoenix of Nirvana had been reborn, and something was sprouting and thriving in her heart.When she was emotional, she shed tears. She imitated Liang Guanjing and wiped her tears with her fingertips. Her mind was full of that beautiful figure. Looking at the crystal tears on her fingertips, she smiled softly. fly.

When Liang Guanjing arrived in Songcheng, there was only a piece of scorched earth left in front of him. Whether it was the bustling Chunfuli, the beautiful Mingyue Inn, or the corners and alleys of Baishui Town, everything was in ruins. Lane, Mrs. Zhang next door, Shen Erniang, the shopkeeper of the Mingyue Inn, and even Chunmei Qiuju, all those people who could be named but could not, either died or disappeared.

She was very afraid of seeing Su Mingyue's corpse holding a baby in the ruins of Dong's house, but she was even more afraid when she found nothing.She regretted bringing her to the border at the beginning. She was originally a weak river in the south of the Yangtze River, how could she stand up to the wind and sand in the north? She regretted that she was eager to win and was so happy. The People's Association broke through the Yanmen Pass, but the remaining defenders were only a few hundred people, how could they resist tens of thousands of cavalry?

"Sixth Master, let's go after the Mongols." Seeing her standing like a stone on the ruins of Dong's house, Xiyu was afraid that she would lose her mind, so she had to remind her in a low voice.

Ling Shisi also said: "The body of golden branches and jade leaves will not disappear just like this. Perhaps the Mongols felt compassion for them when they saw them. Let's go and find out the truth."

"Okay!" Liang Guanjing calmed down, this was her only hope, if she didn't do this, she didn't know what else she could do? "Ling Shishi, the three of us will be outposts to explore the way. No, Meng En, the eighth man, is originally a Mongolian, Meng En?" Liang Guanjing called to the back of the team, and a burly man came forward and knelt down on one knee, "Meng En Grace!"

Liang Guanjing said: "Do you still speak Mongolian?"

Meng En said, "Yes."

Liang Guanjing nodded, "Before I didn't ask you why you were a soldier outside the pass and came to guard Yanmen Pass. I know that everyone has their own ambitions, and you have your own difficulties. If you don't want to talk about it, it's inconvenient for me to ask. But today I want to I sent you to dress up as a native of your hometown and infiltrate the Mongolian army to find out the truth. How can I rest assured that the news you brought is true or false. So I hope you tell me, how did you get to Yanmen Pass?"

Meng En raised his eyes and looked at Liang Guanjing hesitantly, while Ling Shishi said: "Just tell me, you must already know that she is not a Zhongxian captain, Mr. Qianhu, you tell the whole story, and serve the empress. The future is boundless.”

Meng En bowed again, "The little one swears to follow the empress to the death, but not because of the boundless future, glory and wealth. The little one's father and brothers were originally under the command of the Mongolian Great Khan Borji Jin. Suheba in the eastern border of Mongolia Lu colluded with the Jurchens and killed the Khan to usurp the throne. My father and brother died in that war. When I was young, I went out to play with others and escaped unharmed. I can’t go back to my family, and I don’t want to surrender to the traitor Sukhbaru. people, they followed the remnants southward and surrendered to the Han people.”

Liang Guanjing nodded, "But Suhebalu later surrendered to our dynasty without a fight. Emperor Taizu pointed out a large piece of land north of Yanmen Pass and gave it to him."

"Isn't this going south with the Jurchens to burn, kill and loot?" Meng En said.

Liang Guanjing nodded, "Okay, since you and Suhebalu have a deep blood feud, and you were still young at that time, their people should not recognize you now, so I am relieved to send you to investigate the enemy's situation."

Meng En said: "The young one must live up to the empress's trust."

Liang Guanjing said again: "Do you need someone to take care of you?"

Meng En said: "Qiu Da and I have been colleagues for many years, and I have learned some Mongolian in my spare time. You can go with me."

Since Qiu Da is the leader among the eighteen pioneers, it can be seen that he has some real skills. When Liang Guanjing selected the 18 of them, except for Ling Shishi whose name was Fourteen, the others were arranged in order. Qiu Da's original name was Qiu Peng, since he took the first place in that brisk running, the brothers began to call him Qiu Da.Although he looks mediocre and is not tall, and as far as Liang Guanjing knows, his martial arts are a little commonplace, but this person has one advantage, that is, he is very good at running, and he can run for ten miles without panting. Can't outrun him.Since he has a pair of legs that are good at running, it is very suitable to be this wayfinding outpost.

After the personnel were deployed, Liang Guanjing took this small group of troops and followed the Mongolian army's marching route silently.Not to mention the burning, killing and looting of the army along the way, all those who came were cavalry, and the footprints were brand new, and they were very recognizable.It's just that after chasing for a whole day, I still haven't seen anyone, but there is a horse riding from behind. Liang Guanjing quickly sensed that there was a tail behind, and simply paused.

That person was obviously a woman, but she was wearing men's clothing and gloves. At this time, a woman should dress up as a man in a simple way, and plain clothes should be simple, but she was dressed in brocade clothes like a nobleman. Liang Guanjing couldn't laugh or cry with Qian Shanxue's attire.

"Is it okay for you to run with us, don't get dizzy again in a while." Liang Guanjing said.

"Run more, just get used to it." Qian Shanxue smiled sweetly.

"We are carrying out military duties, if you are slow..." Liang Guanjing's face turned serious, "I advise you to find a place to rest."

"You are a woman yourself, but do you want to look down on a woman like me?"

Liang Guanjing didn't want to continue talking to her, so he just rode forward, and Qian Shanxue followed closely behind. The dry food they brought with them was limited when they set off, and they had to survive in the wild on the way. Fish, shrimp and snakes are eaten raw.The team of the Mongols was approaching, and open fires could not be lit during the day, and the venison shot by the feather arrows had not been grilled, and it was very fishy, ​​or they could hold back their hunger and find a low-lying mountain to roast at night before eating.

Not to mention Ling Shishi, Liang Guanjing had no appetite after eating these things, but Qian Shanxue chewed raw meat with relish.

Xiyu said: "We have followed the Mongolian army. Meng En and Qiu Da have already mixed into the tail of the team. Now we can only wait for news from them."

Ling Shishi said: "They marched so quickly, even slaughtered many villages and villages, but I don't think they brought any food and grass. How can the rear defense be supplied? Meng En and Qiu Da can sneak in like this."

Liang Guanjing said: "This is the characteristic of the Mongols' combat. There were regular troops in the previous dynasty, and Bo'er Jijin had always hoped to restore the glory of the Golden Empire era, but he was chased and killed by Emperor Taizu's army for many years. Now only They are a mob. They are good at raiding, they fight more guerrilla, and they are used to changing places with one battle.”

Ling Shishi said: "Then what do they eat? I see that they only burn but don't take it. Most of what they rob is gold and silver treasures. Gold and silver treasures can't be eaten as food. They won't eat game like us."

Qian Shanxue sneered, "Little brother, Mongolian soldiers don't eat food, they eat people."
