On the banks of the Mengyin River, the torches of Khitan soldiers shone here as if they were daylight.
On the distant hillside, Xiao Xuangan looked at Mengyin River, frowning.
"We can't get close to so many people." Ye Qinglan said, "How should we pick up Brother Li?"
"The Lord and the others should have been exposed and escaped in a hurry." Xiao Xuangan said in a deep voice, "Otherwise the Khitans would not have searched along the river on such a large scale."
"We people definitely can't get over it. Ye Qi, just the two of us, touched them quietly."
"But Mengyin River is so long, I don't know where Brother Li and the others are." Ye Qinglan frowned, "It's too dangerous to go over rashly."
"What should I do? Just wait like that?"
Ye Qinglan stared at the surging river in the distance with concern: "At this point, I can only believe them."
...
A Khitan cavalry rushed past the riverside.
"No one here, go and find there!"
After the cavalry, silence was restored here.
The Khitans have searched this section of the river, and no one will come here again in a short period of time.
The rushing river water suddenly surged, and after a moment, the two people suddenly rushed out of the Mengyin River.
"Ah, I'm suffocating."
Li Xin'an and Murong Bai couldn't help laughing at each other when they looked at each other wet.
"It's a critical moment." Li Xin'an sighed, "Fortunately the high priest named A Baoji reacted half a beat slower, otherwise we would have to explain it inside."
"You really think about jumping into the river." Murong Bai wrung out the water from his hair and said:
"What should I do now? There are Khitans everywhere outside, so I can't go to the place I made an appointment with Brother Xiao."
"Then don't go." Li Xin'an said, "Walk straight south and you will meet the person who will meet us."
The two of them immediately identified the direction and walked south, with no horses to ride, so they had to walk lightly.
The grassland was vast and green, and the two of them didn't know how long they had walked, until they collapsed on the ground and could no longer walk.
"No... I can't run anymore." Li Xin'an gasped heavily, "After a while, I'll catch up with my young master."
Murong Bai was about to speak, but his face suddenly changed and he possessed himself and pressed against the ground.
"Shh, there is a sound of horse hooves."
Li Xin'an's expression tightened, and he held the hilt of the "Baihong" sword in his right hand tightly, and said cautiously:
“How far is it from us?”
"Not a mile away."
"But the Khitans?"
"Then I can't hear it!" Murong Bai said angrily, "The sound of horse hooves in the world is the same, how can I tell it."
"The Tang army's horses were tall, so the horse's pace was big, and the sound of horse hooves was heavy and long. The Khitan horses were smaller than that, with tight horses and short and powerful interludes." Li Xin'an said seriously.
Murong Bai looked at him deeply and rolled his eyes: "At this time, you are still here to teach me, and you are nothing."
Li Xin'an smiled bitterly and said, "One mile, where can we run to?"
Murong Bai said in a deep voice: "It's just a decisive death."
The sound of horse hooves is getting closer and closer, and it is clearly heard.
The two of them looked cautiously at the direction of the sound of horse hooves, and prepared to fight to the death.
At the line of heaven and earth, a cavalry emerged, all wearing black armor, and advancing in an orderly manner.
"These people..."
Li Xin'an frowned and waited for them to get closer before he could see it completely.
"It's Chengyang Army! It's our people!"
The cavalry stopped in front of Li Xin'an and Murong Bai. The commander dismounted, and Li Xin'an said happily:
"Brother Lan."
Lan Zuxing nodded, and there was also a relief in his eyes:
"It's good if you're not injured."
"I almost died inside." Li Xin'an smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect that it was you who brought someone to save us."

"It's not just me." Lan Zuxing said, "The third brother and Lao Liu are here too."
"Brother Fu and Yan Qiu are here too?" Li Xin'an said in surprise, "Who in the army holds the position of vanguard?"
"Now that there is no war, there is naturally no need for a pioneer." Lan Zuxing said, "If you don't talk about this, why are you here? What about the others? Has Zhou Bian rescued him?"
Li Xinan hesitated for a moment, sighed, and finally told what they saw and heard when they sneaked into the Mengyin River Camp this time.
Among them, it naturally also includes what Zhou Bian did.
After listening, Lan Zuxing's face was calm and he did not have much emotional ups and downs.
"Since he has lost his memory, he can't blame him." Lan Zuxing said, "But, after all, he was killed by our compatriots, and he can't be tolerated here."
"If you can't save it, it's fine. But if you save it, he can't show up in front of others."
"I understand that after rescuing Zhou Bian, I will send him back to Fengzhou immediately." Li Xin'an nodded and said, "Brother Lan, please keep this matter confidential."
"certainly."
Lan Zuxing said, "Get on the horse. Third brother and Yan Qiu are both fifty miles behind. We also have contact with Xiao Xuangan and Ye Qinglan. We first retreat to a safe place and then discuss it."
"That's all."
Li Xin'an Murong Bai turned over and followed Lan Zuxing and retreated to the safe area south.
After about two hours, it was dawn and finally saw Fu Kang and Xu Yanqiu's men.
After escaping from death and meeting each other again, everyone was naturally very happy.
Xiao Xuangan and Ye Qinglan also received the news, and half an hour later, they hurried here.
After hearing about Zhou Bian's situation, they couldn't help but sigh.
"When will Yelu Hailan and Zhou Bian come back?" Fu Kang asked, "The defenders of Mengyin River Camp have been alarmed, and we cannot stay here for a long time."
"Two days." Li Xin'an said, "Wait for two more days, he will definitely come back."
...
Two days later.
Yelu Hailan and his men returned here on the evening of the third day after Li Xin'an and Murong Bai sneaked into the Mengyin River camp.
"Master of Big Wolf, you are finally back." A Baoji came forward and said.
"Is there any news about Yelu Zong and Asina Chongguang?" Yelu Hailan asked.
A Baoji glanced at Zhou Bian who was following Yelu Hailan and said nothing.
"Oh, you go down first." Yelu Hailan smiled at Zhou Bian, then gave Abaoji a wink, and the two walked into the central army's tent.
"Yes." A Baoji said, "On the way to come, Lord Yelu Zong found traces of the mobilization of the Tang army."
"Come to us?"
"Yes." A Baoji nodded and said, "It is very likely to be here to support Bai Wenxi."
"It seems that the increase in troops and reduce stoves can't be hidden from the Tang army's suspicion." Yelu Hailan smiled, "But it seems that they are not completely sure about our intentions. Just like that, it's already too late when they reacted."
“How many of our people are gathering?”
"Eighty thousand." A Baoji whispered, "just one hundred miles west of the Mengyin River camp."
"Very good." Yelu Hailan smiled, "Everything is ready, only the east wind is needed. Just wait for Yelu Zong and Asana to be overwhelmed. When will they arrive?"
"It should be ten days left."
A Baoji hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master of Big Wolf, have you seen the message I gave you the second time?"
"Yes." Yelu Hailan nodded, "How is Ye Huren?"
"He was fine. He lay in bed for a day and was still lively."
"Have those two Tang people caught?"
"No." A Baoji shook his head, "I am incompetent."
"The other party came to find Ge Shutai. Its strength is not much lower than you. Your temporary negligence is nothing."
"Then... did you tell Ge Shutai?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"That's not." Yelu Hailan shook her head and said, "Since the other party came to save him, he didn't find anyone, so it was impossible for him to give up. If he could do it, he would do it for the second time."
"Do you think Ge Shutai will remember these... friends of him?"
A Baoji said in surprise: "What the Big Wolf Lord means...continue to let them kill each other?"
"The most annoying thing about me is that things are only three." Yelu Hailan smiled coldly, "Ge Shutai is very suitable for me, but only after trying a few more times can I feel at ease to accept him as a confidant."
...
The next morning.
A faint layer of mist floated above Mengyin River. Under the cover of the mist, someone came to the Mengyin River camp.
"Brother Li, are you sure Zhou Bian is back?" Ye Qinglan asked.
"Last night, didn't our people find a cavalry of hundreds of people returning to the Mengyin River camp?" Li Xin'an said, "The conventional scouts are not that large in scale, and the number of people is similar to what Ye Hu said, so they can only be them."
At this time, the four of them were all wearing Khitan uniforms and tiptoed into the woods.
In this dense forest, you can still vaguely smell a faint smell of blood.
"Not quite right." Li Xin'an frowned and looked suspicious. "We sneaked into the Mengyin River camp here, but the Khitans did not say that they had strictly defended here, so why did they even withdraw people?"
"I can't feel the breath of any living creature except us."
Murong Bai nodded: "So too."
Xiao Xuangan's face changed drastically: "Damn it, I've been trapped. They knew we would come again, so they deliberately removed people's hands, so they asked you to get into the trap!"
"Let's go." Li Xin'an whispered.
As soon as they finished speaking, a strong wind immediately rolled up in the dense forest, and the stirring trees fell and the four of them were unstable for a moment and were hit by the trees.
One person came out of the dense forest and fell in front of Li Xin'an and the other four.
"We're meeting again." A Baoji said lightly.
"It's you!" Li Xinan's heart sank, "The High Priest of the Witch God Cult?"
"You actually know me." A Baoji was a little surprised, "Who told you?"
Li Xinan said coldly: "Where is Zhou Bian?"
"Who is Zhou Bian?"
"The person you caught."
A female voice suddenly rang out: "Are you talking about it again, Ge Shutai?"
Dozens of figures appeared behind Abao's fuselage, all of which were wolf slaves above the third grade.
Surrounded by wolf slaves was a woman. And beside the woman, the tall figure with a long bow on her back was not Zhou Bian, who else could it be!
"Ge Shutai." Yelu Hailan smiled, "He is your friend."
"I... have no impression." Zhou Bian said in confusion.
"Zhou Bian, it's me, Li Xin'an!"
Yelu Hailan said, "Since I can't remember, what's the use of keeping him?"
"Ge Shutai, kill him."
Zhou Bian frowned, picked up an arrow from the quiver pot, placed it on the bowstring, slowly raised his arm, aiming it at Li Xin'an.
"You are crazy!" Ye Qinglan shouted loudly.
"Let's go!" Murong Bai shouted. Now he finally confirmed that Zhou Bian, who could aim his weapon at his own people without hesitation, was no longer their brother.
Now the one standing in front of them is just Ge Shutai!
"Want to leave?" A Baoji sneered, and a bone flute slid from his sleeve, and then he spread the bone flute across his lips and started playing it.
The few people immediately froze and became slower.
Zhou Bian let go of the bowstring.
"Swoosh--"
The arrow pierced into Li Xin'an's body. He wailed and flew backwards.
Murong Bai roared lowly, and the "Feng Ming" long sword in his hand turned into a sword curtain, stabbing A Baoji's face.
"This is... Haoran's Sword Book." Yelu Hailan widened her eyes, "Are you Murong Bai?"
A Baoji pulled back, and Yelu Hailan ordered: "A Baoji, catch him!"
