At night, the bonfire at Zhangjiaji started.

For people in the vast desert and grassland, a bonfire is a lighthouse. It can guide them in the direction of their progress. When they see the fire, they know where they can go. Even if they cannot reach it for the time being, they can feel comforting.

After Li Mu disappeared, the bonfire in Zhangjiaji became more vigorous. And there was always a woman sitting by the bonfire and drinking silently. After drinking this pot of wine, she would get into a "bag" and sleep by sleeping next to the bonfire.

This thing is called the "sleeping bag", and there is only one. This is the New Year gift given to her by Li Mu. It was sent by the caravans that were sent by Li Mu himself sewed it with animal skin, which is enough to resist the wind and cold in the desert.

Zhang Tianai likes to sleep in this sleeping bag, as warm as if she is sleeping in Li Mu's arms, although she has not actually slept in Li Mu's arms for a few days.

Jin Chen had known for a long time that Li Mu had a fiancée, the eldest lady of Zhangjiazhai. When she came to Zhangjiaji, she separated from the people she was with. The person she wanted to find was Zhang Tianai. But she didn't dare to get close, just looked at it from a distance.

Seeing Zhang Tianai loves to drink, Jin Chen couldn't help feeling guilty again. She regretted it. It seemed that every step was wrong when things came to this point, but she no longer knew how to make up for this mistake.

"What are you looking at?" Suddenly Zhang Tianai sat up. Jin Chen was startled and turned around and was about to escape. However, he didn't go far. Suddenly, a whip hit her and wrapped her feet. Jin Chen fell down instantly and was pulled over by Zhang Tianai.

"Little thief, do you dare to look at me too? You said, is it because my husband is lost that you dare to covet me? I dug your eyes and let you look at me!" Zhang Tianai was already drunk. When she was drunk, she would have been drunk and was in a bad mood these days. When she met someone who offended her, she would naturally be beaten to relieve her anger. Although she wouldn't really dug her eyes, she would be whipped a few whips.

Jin Chen was so scared that he curled up, but Zhang Tianai's whip could not fall. She stared at Jin Chen's figure and frowned and said, "Are you a man or a woman?"

"I'm not a man, I pretend." Jin Chen spoke in his voice. Zhang Tianai frowned and squatted down to look at her. Although the disguise technique was sophisticated, it was not without flaws. If you look closely, you could always see a little trace.

Zhang Tianai could see it and frowned and said, "Why are you pretending to be a man? There is no good thing for men! My man originally came to marry me, but now he is gone. When I find him, I will see if I won't beat him to death!"

As he said that, tears fell down. Jin Chen felt even more guilty, but he didn't know what to say.

Zhang Tianai got back to the sleeping bag, reached out and pointed to the east, and said, "Let you go, you can go."

Jin Chen stood up silently and left. She glanced at Zhang Tianai, feeling more guilty.

Li Mu, where did you go?

...

After seven horses ran to death, Li Chongyi finally arrived in Dingxiang City. Seeing Li Siwen, Li Chongyi didn't say anything, and reached out to pick him up. The fist as big as a casserole was about to greet him. Qin Yu was trying hard to stop him, but there was no way to stop him. Li Chongyi took Qin Yu to swing his arm, and seeing that Li Siwen was about to die under his fist, Li Ji arrived.

For Li Ji, Li Chong threw the soulless Li Siwen to the ground indignantly. Li Siwen hung his head and did not resist at all. Li Mu was indeed beside him, saying that he had the responsibility to be unable to shirk.

After calming down for a while, I could finally sit down and talk. Li Ji asked someone to send Li Siwen out and said to Li Chongyi, "I heard about you. With just the Five Hundred Elementary Guards, I have made the contribution to destroying the country. I don't have this ability. May I ask Your Majesty is already discussing merits. If you don't have a title of marquis, you are also an earl. Congratulations."

"My elder brother is gone, what's the point of asking for a title?"

Li Chongyi's words were very rude. In his eyes, except for Li Mu, the elder brother, everyone else is the same. He will also value the people Li Mu values, and he will also respect the people Li Mu respects, but if Li Mu is gone, he will no longer be polite. Even when facing Li Ji, he is such a person.

"I can understand your mood, but you can't blame Siwen completely for this matter. Do you understand the process of the matter? If you don't know, I'll tell you."

"No, I just know that the eldest brother lost it on his territory, which is enough." Li Chongyi took a deep breath and looked at Li Ji. The murderous aura was as strong as the essence. "Does my eldest brother have news now? Or is there no news at all?"

"Yes." Li Ji informed Li Chongyi of the latest news. Li Chongyi pondered for a moment and said, "Please give me a battalion of troops and a guide, I'll go to Yanqi now."

Li Ji did not say nonsense and agreed. Li Chongyi had proved his ability. Five hundred people took Linyi. Even if it was a small country, it was a country at least. It was not enough to be brave enough to do this. It must be a good idea. He would be the best choice at present when he went to pick up Li Mu.

"I asked Su Dingfang to go with you. He had been a guerrilla general of General Li Jing and was very familiar with the terrain of this generation."

"Thank you, General." Li Chongyi stood up and bowed. This was his first time to speak with a smile. Before Li Ji returned the gift, Li Chongyi had turned around and left. Li Ji sighed and asked someone to call Su Dingfang over and make some instructions. A quarter of an hour later, Su Dingfang followed Li Chongyi straight to Yanqi. Li Siwen was at the gate of the camp, watching Li Chongyi galloping on his horse, and he curled his lips and was about to cry again. Qin Yu hugged him in his arms, but he didn't know how to comfort him. His husband was like a child who had not grown up, and he was too lacking in responsibility.

Shortly after Li Chongyi and others left, another sentry came to report that Hou Junji's vanguard camp had arrived in Mayi and would arrive one day. Li Ji found someone to bring the map, calculated the time, and thought to himself that if there was a battle, this big battle would be soon.

Suddenly, another messenger arrived. When Li Ji received the letter, his face changed drastically. Xue Yantuo, in the north, learned about Dingxiang's near news, and there were signs of going south. Tuyuhun and Tubo in the north also increased their troops on the border, and seemed to have acted indiscriminately. The court had sent Niu Jinda to lead the reinforcements. Even Li Xiaogong, who had never been used, is now appointed as a general and is ordered to replace Hou Junji to guard the capital.

The Tang Dynasty suddenly became full of smoke!
