Li Sanzhen is holding Sun Ergou in his left hand and Li Cuihua in his right hand, and is walking towards the house.

Although she smelled something like roast chicken and touched the clothes that had been mended many times, Li Cuihua still had doubts about whether the person next to her was Li Sanzhen.

However, Li Cuihua is still a child after all. After waiting for Li Sanzhen all night, she no longer has much energy to identify Li Sanzhen and can only use vague words to ask the people around her.

"Grandpa, is that you?"

"It's me."

"Don't leave..."

Li Sanzhen beside him did not respond to Li Cuihua.

……

East gate of Ruohuo City, daytime.

Hui Mo underneath him keeps running with Jiang Xinghe.

Jiang Xinghe wanted to grab the reins in his hands countless times and asked Hui Mo to go back and then go to meet Su Bei.

But he didn't do that.

The person Su Bei stopped was the person who wanted to kill Jiang Xinghe.

Before you know whether Su Bei will succeed, rashly exposing yourself to the enemy's view is just adding to the chaos.

Jiang Xinghe and Su Bei have only walked through three places, Thirty Mile Forest and Ruohuo City, and they already know that they feel powerless in the face of strong men.

In Su Bei's conjecture, if Jiang Xinghe and Jiang Xinghai go together, the father and son will be in trouble.

Now, if we go back to Xinghe, it will make Su Bei passive.

Walking to Yaojin City and waiting for Su Bei to come find him is the only thing Jiang Xinghe can do.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghe tightened the black cloth on his face, rode Huimo, and ran towards the black spot in the distance.

……

Yaojin City West Gate.

Twenty thousand elites drawn from various cities in Pan Kingdom are preparing outside the city gate.

In order to realize the rapid movement of the army, only 15,000 infantry were left, and the cavalry consisting of 5,000 horses could immediately rush to the east gate of Ruohuo City within two quarters of an hour.

Even if they encounter the conquering army of your country, they can still use five thousand cavalry to contain them.

Fifteen thousand infantrymen arrived later, dealing a greater blow to the expeditionary army which was tired of dealing with the cavalry.

Even if Ling Hu, the general of the Ling Kingdom, personally commanded the expeditionary force, more than 30% of the casualties could not be avoided.

The purpose of Pan State this time is not to annihilate the expeditionary army, but to bring the son of Xinghai, the inspector of the state, to bring back the heads of Xinghe.

If possible, direct conflict with the Ling Kingdom’s expeditionary army should be avoided.

After all, these 20,000 troops can be considered the elite of Pan State.

The death of a man or a horse is a disguised loss to Pan's overall combat effectiveness.

Now, General Pan Jiao is looking into the distance, waiting for Boss Ke's signal flare.

Although the production threshold for signal flares is not too high, various countries in Dongfeng strictly prohibit private homemade signal flares.

When a signal flare is used, although one cannot immediately tell which country and city used it, one can still tell the thoughts of the person who used the signal flare.

For example, the signal flare that Boss Ke took away is the most typical directional signal flare.

If you see Jiang Xinghe at the south gate of Ruohuo City, a red flare will be raised.

If Xinghe appears at the east gate of Ruohuo City, raise the green signal flare.

As long as Pan Jiao sees the color of the signal flare in the air, he will immediately lead an army of 20,000 to capture Jiang Xinghe alive or kill him on the spot.

At that time, Pan Guo's plan to annex the country will be successfully implemented.

There are two key figures in the plan to cut off Jiang Xinghe's head.

One is Pan Jiao on horseback, who is responsible for leading an army of 20,000.

For this opportunity, after Pan Jiao received the news from Boss Ke, he immediately asked the soldiers and generals to rest and get enough sleep.

They even adjusted the curfew time in Yaojin City to the same time as Ruohuo City, for fear of problems in any link.

The second is Boss Ke waiting at the south gate of Ruohuo City.

She is responsible for determining the specific location of Jiang Xinghe and giving signals to Pan Jiao at any time.

Based on the time Yaojin City opened its gates, Ruohuo City has already opened its gates for half an hour.

Even the conquest army has already left Ruohuo City for some distance.

Not to mention those riding horses will travel farther.

However, Boss Ke did not send any message, as if he had disappeared.

Even the patient Pan Jiao was considering whether to take the risk of being discovered by the expeditionary army and send out two scouts to see what happened to Boss Ke.

"General, it's been so long and General Ke hasn't sent a signal yet. He may have been delayed by other things.

I am willing to lead a ten-man team to meet General Ke."

The generals on the side have already volunteered.

Although Boss Ke's strength is only 80%, he has a strong ability to command the army. Naturally, he was sent to Ruohuo City as an important role in Pan Guodun's plan.

However, the generals of the expeditionary army are stronger than Ba ​​Da Cheng, so it is impossible for Boss Ke to gain much advantage in a one-on-one battle.

If Boss Ke's whereabouts are exposed, he may be surrounded by the expeditionary army in advance, and the chance of running away is almost zero.

If this was an ordinary battle, or even an ordinary war, Pan Jiao might agree to this general and tell him to go find Boss Ke quickly.

The plan to annex the country is to initiate civil strife in nine cities of the country at the same time, but if it is launched in Ruohuo City, it will achieve greater results.

Even if General Xinghe is not successfully killed, it will not have a greater impact on the execution of the entire plan.

If Boss Ke dies in Ruohuo City, for Pan Guo, it will be the loss of an excellent general.

It is a good thing to lead a team of elite soldiers to find Boss Ke and successfully bring him back.

If discovered by the conquest army, General Hu may analyze it as part of the plan to annex the country.

Once General Hu returns to the capital of the Ling Kingdom, perhaps the next step is to eliminate the Pan people who have been stationed in the nine cities of the Ling Kingdom.

By then, the plan to annex the country had already been aborted before it was even launched.

Pan Guo may never encounter this kind of opportunity again in the future.

Faced with this situation, Pan Jiao could only choose to continue waiting at this time.

"No, trust General Ke."

After hearing Pan Jiao's words, the general who proposed the idea naturally shut up.

Another quarter of an hour.

Pan Jiao could already hear the tired breathing of several horses behind him.

Although the soldiers and generals did not react as violently as the horses, they were still muttering.

At least I am dissatisfied with Boss Ke’s behavior of not sending out flares.

At this moment, a man came running over on horseback in the distance.

At this time, everyone understood why they had to wait for such a long time.

It’s not that Boss Ke was dragged down by things, or that Pan Jiao was hesitant.

But Pan Jiao has great trust in Boss Ke’s strength.

Boss Ke lived up to expectations and returned with Jiang Xinghe’s head.
