Hearing Mei Dai's call, Xiao Beiheng stopped, wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, and said loudly: "Queen of Xiliang, what do you have to say to me?"

Mei Dai turned down the slope, passed through the Xirong army and came to the front of the formation. She first grabbed Su Mo's wrist and said to Shen Yuexi:

"Sister, step back."

When Shen Yuexi saw Mei Dai coming to help, she felt relieved, let go of Su Mo's hand and took a few steps back.

Just now, Xiao Beiheng confessed his love to Su Mo, leaving her speechless. Su Mo was moved by Xiao Beiheng and cried bitterly. She felt like a bad guy who destroyed the harmony of other people's families and almost let her go. .

Su Mo's wrist was twisted behind her back by Mei Dai. She frowned slightly in pain and said, "Queen, what are you doing?"

Mei Dai didn't say a word. She pulled out the sword from her waist and placed it diagonally on Su Mo's neck, saying, "Don't move around. The blade of this sword is very sharp."

Su Mo also knew how powerful it was, so she raised her chin slightly and stood still.

Shen Yuexi was startled and almost jumped up, shouting: "Sister Mei, what are you doing?"

She thought that Mei Dai was here to support her, but she didn't expect Mei Dai to pull out the sword when she came up. This thing is no joke. If the hand slips, a big hole will open in the neck.

Mei Dai said without looking back: "Sister, you retreat to the military formation and go to Shen Lan's place."

Shen Yuexi knew that Mei Dai was much smarter than her, and she must have had her own intentions in doing this. She quickly took a few steps back, turned around, and ran back to her formation and up the high slope.

When Xiao Beiheng saw Mei Dai's move, he looked angry and said, "Mei Dai, Momo voluntarily stayed in your army. Now she wants to return to the widow, why don't you let her?"

Mei Dai said coldly: "Prince Ping, you are also a smart man, retreat first."

Shen Yuexi was stunned when she heard that. It turned out that Mei Dai had taken Su Mo as a hostage. Isn't that bad? She was about to open her mouth when Shen Lan grabbed her sleeve and said, "Sister, don't say anything. You can't see what's happening across the way." Eight thousand cavalry?”

"I saw it."

"Why don't they attack us?"

After Shen Lan reminded her, Shen Yuexi realized that Xiao Beiheng's cavalry had been waiting there because Su Mo was here. If Su Mo had returned to Xiao Beiheng's side, the enemy would have started to attack.

"Sister, our total military strength is not as good as the opponent's. Even if we win this battle, it will still be a big loss for us. Bai Xiushan and the enemy's infantry have not come over yet," Shen Lan whispered in her ear, "The Queen just said She said that you definitely can't keep Su Mo, and she is going to fight for chips to allow us to evacuate safely... The method is indeed not glorious, but this is the only method we can use. Don't worry, the queen has sense, she will not really Hurt Su Mo."

Shen Yuexi rubbed the back of her head, remembering the blow she received from Mei Dai. Mei Dai really didn't hesitate when it was time to take action. Considering her relationship with Su Mo, she really couldn't do such a move. And Su Mo Having saved Shen Lan's life, Shen Lan would never be able to do such a thing. The only person present who could do this was Mei Dai.

After understanding Mei Dai's good intentions and Shen Lan's assurance, she calmed down and looked at Xiao Beiheng opposite.

Xiao Beiheng laughed and said: "Mei Dai, don't bluff, do you think I will be scared by you? Momo has helped you a lot, I don't believe you dare to hurt your benefactor."

Mei Dai said coldly: "It's true that Su Mo is kind to my sister, but it has nothing to do with the Mei family in Xiliang."

She wore Maple's metal mask on her face, and Xiao Beiheng could not see her expression. He could only see the firm gaze in her eyes, which showed no fear or any compromise.

"Do you really dare to hurt her?" Xiao Beiheng showed a hint of contempt, "She is just a concubine serving the emperor, and she actually wants to intimidate a veteran warrior on the battlefield?"

When Shen Yuexi heard Xiao Beiheng's words, she thought in her heart: "Brother looked down on Sister Mei too much, thinking that just scaring her would be effective. Sister Mei's willpower is by no means comparable to that of ordinary women. When Prince Mei died in front of her, she was very supportive." Coming over."

"Prince Jing thought so at first," Mei Dai said calmly.

Xiao Beiheng's expression changed slightly: "Mei Dai, don't forget, it was me who killed Xiao Kai, the enemy of your mother and concubine."

"So what?" Mei Dai sneered, "Back then, King An was ordered by my father to attack Xiao Kai for our Mei family, all the way to Yongwei City. We were about to win, but you attacked your brother behind his back. .I only recognize the kindness of Prince An and his wife, you just took advantage of it, do you still want me, the Mei family, to be grateful?"

"I don't believe it," Xiao Beiheng took a step forward, "Let me go, I will take Momo back now."

"Don't come here!" Mei Dai took a step back and gently pressed down the sword blade in her hand. Su Mo groaned in pain, and a thin line of blood flowed from her neck.

"Mei Dai, if you dare to hurt Momo, my cavalry will trample you all into a pulp," Xiao Beiheng stopped, pulled out the Yanque sword from his waist, and shouted sternly, "None of you can escape."

Behind Xiao Beiheng, the cavalrymen took off their bows one after another, nocked arrows and pulled the strings. Thousands of bows were raised together and aimed at Mei Dai. The sharp arrow clusters shone with a little cold light in the sun. When the Xirong army saw this scene, they immediately Raise your shield, grip your sword and prepare to fight.

Shen Yuexi stood on tiptoes nervously and said, "My brother is erratic in his actions. He won't really attack, right?"

From the beginning of her dealings with Xiao Beiheng, she knew that Xiao Beiheng never acted according to common sense and never knew what he was thinking. I guess only Xiao Zhuo and Mei Dai could understand his thoughts, right?

The Xirong and Xiliang armies combined numbered nine thousand, and they should be able to withstand the attack from the opposite side. If it continues like this, I am afraid that the enemy troops from Baixiu Mountain will come over, and by then they will not be able to escape even if they want to.

Shen Lan, who was beside her, also became nervous. He didn't care to speak and stared at the three people in front of the two armies.

Mei Dai remained motionless, as if Xiao Beiheng's words were turning a deaf ear, and she said coldly: "You can give the order to attack, see if I dare or not."

Seeing Xiao Beiheng stop, she immediately understood that the initiative was on her side. Now she just had to hold on and wait for Xiao Beiheng to give her the result she wanted.

Xiao Beiheng stared at Mei Dai, but he couldn't see her expression through the mask. He couldn't know what her state of mind was now, whether she was trembling with fear or not. Maybe she was just arrogant and bluffing, or maybe she really dared to kill. In Mei Dai, he could feel that she had something similar to him, and she would do anything to achieve the goal, as evidenced by the blood on Su Mo's neck.

Moreover, there are nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses on the opposite side, so if he really wants to attack, he may not be able to take advantage. But just giving in like this is really not in line with his personality.

"Beiheng, my neck hurts so much, it's bleeding," Su Mo cried suddenly, "Don't be impulsive, please retreat first. The Queen will let me go."

Xiao Beiheng was startled for a moment, put the sword back into its sheath with his backhand, turned around and said: "Mei Dai, within half an hour, I want to see Momo return safely. Otherwise, I will slaughter all the four counties of Xiliang." After saying this, he shouted loudly. Walk back.

When the Yan army cavalry saw Xiao Beiheng coming back, they also put down their bows and arrows, turned their horses, and followed Xiao Beiheng back toward Baixiu Mountain.

When Mei Dai saw the enemy retreating, she breathed a long sigh of relief, put down her sword and said, "It's really dangerous."

Shen Yuexi and Shen Lan ran down the hillside and came to the two of them. Shen Yuexi supported Su Mo and Shen Lan supported Mei Dai.

"Brother and sister, are you okay?" Shen Yuexi pressed the wound on Su Mo's neck with a silk handkerchief distressedly, "Oh, it's bleeding, no wonder she's crying in pain."

Su Mo said: "Sister-in-law is fine, it's just a small cut and it doesn't hurt. I cried on purpose to show Beiheng."

"Ah, you cried on purpose?" Shen Yuexi asked.

"I didn't understand it at first, but later I found out what the Queen's intention was. If I return to Beiheng, I'm afraid he will immediately order his cavalry to attack you."

Mei Dai lifted up her mask, revealed her face and smiled at Su Mo: "I'm sorry, I have to let you see your blood, so that Xiao Beiheng can understand that I am not bluffing."

Shen Lan said: "Queen, Xiao Beiheng has withdrawn his army. We have to leave quickly. Who knows if he will change his mind."

Mei Dai nodded and said: "That's right. I brought eight thousand war horses, which is probably not enough. There are two extra sergeants each. We need to leave as soon as possible to join King An."

The two of them went to arrange troops and horses to evacuate. Shen Yuexi held Su Mo's hand and said, "Brother and sister, do you really want to go back?"

Su Mo lowered his head and said, "Although Beiheng beat me, he still treats me very well in his heart. You see, he is already chasing me. Besides, I...I can't let him go."

Shen Yuexi also heard what Xiao Beiheng said before leaving, and knew that she could no longer stop Su Mo from going back. But she was still a little worried: "I always feel that he is not that kind of person. He is not even his biological father..."

Su Mo defended: "I know my eldest brother wouldn't do this, but Beiheng might have been accidentally injured. You and I don't know what happened at that time."

Seeing Su Mo start to defend Xiao Beiheng, Shen Yuexi knew that any further persuasion would be in vain, so she could only let go and said: "Go back to his place. If he treats you badly again, come to your sister-in-law. I will definitely support you."

"Now that the two armies are fighting, these things are not important anymore," Su Mo said with a wry smile. "When I go back, I will persuade him to stop and call for a truce. This is all I can do. I really don't want everyone to fight."

Shen Yuexi was speechless and could only smile. This battle was actually a battle for the throne. Neither side would give in. Neither she nor Su Mo could stop the rolling wheels of war.

A sergeant led the horse next to her. She helped Su Mo get on the horse herself and said to the escorting Xiliang cavalry: "My brothers and sisters are not good at riding horses. The horses will fall off when they go fast. You escort her slowly and ensure that she is escorted to me." Brother’s place.”

The cavalry agreed and slowly headed south, surrounding Su Mo.

Shen Yuexi stood there and watched until their figures disappeared on the horizon, then turned around.

There is no way Su Mo could persuade Xiao Beiheng to stop his troops. Although he successfully escaped from danger today, Xiao Beiheng's army will definitely come over later. Where is Xiao Zhuo's army? If it still stays where it is, Xiao Beiheng will take a retreat. Yes. Hurry up and catch up with Mei Dai and ask.

She put her finger to her lips and whistled. Xiaobai heard the sound and rushed over. The parrot Liuli stopped on the saddle, flapped her wings and shouted: "Beiheng, you are sorry for me. Yuexi, good luck and good luck. Drive, drive, drive, drive." …”

Shen Yuexi saddled her horse and said with a smile: "You stupid bird, you actually learned one more word."

The glass fluttered and flew onto her shoulder, shouting non-stop like a chatterbox, as if urging her to find Xiao Zhuo quickly.

"Let's go after Sister Mei."
