Silent Cloud once asked Pei Yue the same question.

Pei Yue's answer at the time was not decisive. Apparently he himself had doubts, so he hesitated for a while. Because according to Silent Cloud, after he witnessed Chen Xizhi committing suicide, Lu Min still received a strange secret letter, and It was a kind of secret message that could not be deciphered by outsiders. Only he and Chen Xizhi understood the secret.

But Ye Qi did not hesitate at all, and nodded coldly: "Dead."

Silent Cloud said with emotion: "Miss Ye, I am not a villain, and your life experience is not a secret. Even if His Majesty knew it, he would just laugh it off. When I talk to you about these old things today, I am not using them as blackmail. You, I just hope you can understand that if Chen Xizhi had not died, Pei Yue would have taken great risks. Whether it is her or the hatred she carries, it may cause serious harm to Pei Yue."

Ye Qiming narrowed his eyes slightly, his slender eyebrows showing a bit of coldness, and said word by word: "Master Shen, you underestimate me."

She and Pei Yue had become one and the same a long time ago, so how could she do something detrimental to him?

Silent Cloud looked at her deeply, showed a smile and said: "That's right."

Ye Qi slightly said impatiently: "Master Shen, do you have any other instructions?"

Silent Cloud shook his head and said: "No. Miss Ye, don't worry, what we talked about today will not reach the ears of a third person."

Ye Qi said indifferently: "Thank you very much."

Then turned and left.

After a while, Shen Danmo came to him slowly, and soon realized that her father was very different today. He was very different from the previous state where his chest was filled with thunder and his face was as flat as a lake. She looked at Silent Cloud attentively, and suddenly noticed that his father was very different. There were a few more gray hairs on the temples, and he was only forty-seven years old. He was suddenly sad and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Silent Cloud noticed her strangeness and laughed and said: "Mo'er, what's going on?"

Shen Danmo raised his hand to wipe his eyes, shook his head and said: "It's nothing, the wind blew my eyes. Daddy, what did you and Ye Qi talk about?"

Silent Cloud said softly: "It's just some old things."

Hearing such an answer, Shen Danmo knew that he would not get the answer, and did not continue to pester him. He changed the subject and said: "Dad, that Mr. Xi neither followed Pei Yue deep into the battlefield nor assisted in defending the city. These two There is no trace of the sky, which is a bit strange."

Shen Moyun said: "He is not a member of the army, so this is normal."

Shen Danmo curled his lips and said: "Dad lied to his daughter again. Mr. Xi was the number one counselor under Dingguo Gong's account back then. He was as talented as his father in both civil and military affairs. Even if he refused to make suggestions for Marquis Jining, he should have followed Pei Yue, otherwise he would Why do you come all the way to the Western Region?"

Silent Cloud couldn't help but shook his head and said: "You, you are beating around the bush and want to find out more clearly. Brother Sidao has something to do when he comes to the Western Region. He must have been somewhere in Lingzhou in the past few days. I don't know what specifically I want to do." ."

Shen Danmo's eyes lit up. After careful consideration, she vaguely guessed some possibilities, but she did not speak out in a hurry, because she knew that if her father was unwilling to speak, no one in the world could make him speak.

Silent Cloud knew his precious daughter very well, but he did not stop her from making various guesses.

The battlefield to the west was getting further and further away. The Wu army retreated with difficulty, and the three armies of Daliang Army tirelessly pursued them. Seeing this scene, Shen Danmo said with some excitement: "Dad, can Zhang Qingbai run away this time?"

Silent Cloud only needed a few glances to understand that the overall situation had been decided, and the only variable was what kind of victory Daliang could achieve this time.

He said calmly: "According to Pei Yue's method, Zhang Qingbai's troops are already less than 50,000, but we have mobilized nearly 80,000 troops, including Jin Shui and Long Gong, two strong armies that have been recharged for several days. Wu Jun There is no chance of recovery. But Zhang Qingbai will not die here, these 50,000 soldiers and horses can always send him out."

Shen Danmo sighed with some disappointment, but she couldn't help but feel happy when she thought that after the two wars between the North and the South, the infantry of Xiwu was severely weakened, and there was finally hope of a complete victory in the war in the west.

Silent Cloud saw the change in her daughter's expression, feeling a little worried and at the same time quite emotional.

I have stirred up the situation in the shadows for so many years, and my mind has long been exhausted and dirty. Only in front of these young juniors such as Pei Yue and Mo'er can I barely find some of the feeling of blaming Fang Qiu happily and grudges.

But, how long can such days last?

…

When the main force of Xiwu's infantry was being pursued by the three armies of Daliang and suffered heavy losses along the way. Even though Zhang Qingbai had already woken up, he could not change the situation. Pei Yue also encountered danger on the edge of the cliff and could fall to pieces at any time.

Although Guo Qiyun cannot match Pei Yue in terms of strategy, he is a brave and skilled man after all. The average strength of the Kuidou camp cavalry is higher than that of the Tibetan front guards. In addition, with the cooperation of 10,000 cavalry sent by Gu Qiudao, after continuous After several days of pursuit, he finally got a firm grip on the Tibetan Front Guard's tail.

This is the battle of elite cavalry among the best in the world.

Pei Yue led his troops to cut off the rear, and the Tibetan front guards kept running towards the west. It seemed that they wanted to imitate the story of Pei Zhen and move deep into the territory of Western Wu.

How could Guo Qiyun not know that past event that had brought shame to the whole country, so he pursued him more and more closely, not even caring about the opponent's tactics of constantly throwing shots when escaping, and used his life to shorten the distance between him and the Tibetan front guard.

Pei Yue's commanding skills became more and more proficient, and he did not give the opponent a chance to entangle him. Several times, he simply relied on the ability of the main force of the sharp knife to cut off the minions of the Kuidou camp.

The two sides chased each other on the vast Gaoyang Plain. If the wear and tear of the mount's leg strength had not been taken into account, Guo Qiyun could have chased for a whole night.

By the early morning of the next day, the winner had been completely decided on the eastern battlefield. Zhang Qingbai led more than 10,000 people to join Du Changqing's troops and cavalry. When Liang Jun won a complete victory, the Tibetan front guards finally stopped escaping.

At this moment Guo Qiyun did not catch up immediately.

A majestic city rarely seen in the world appeared in their sight.

What made Guo Qiyun feel even more unlucky was that the Hucheng defenders who had been huddled in the city since the beginning of the war and had only sent out a single cavalry team to support Cheng'an Hou and Lu Min's defense actually came out in full force today.

On the extremely vast flat land south of Hucheng, 90,000 troops lined up row upon row, forming an extremely stable and tight formation and advancing forward.

The iron cavalry of Xiwu are ready, including the world-famous Anyang dragon cavalry.

Pei Yue led the Tibetan front guards in an arc from the side and entered the formation of the Hucheng defenders.

Guo Qiyun was filled with resentment, but he did not dare to act on his own at this time. He could only lead Kuidou Camp and the 10,000 cavalrymen under the tent of Qucheng Hou Gu Qiudao.
