Someone brought dinner to Hongye's tent, but Hongye was not in any mood to eat it.
The two men in bamboo hats had already taken off their bamboo hats and gray scarves covering their mouths and noses, and stood in front of Hongye.
"Senior Sister, the capture of Chile Mountain cannot be an accident." A man in a bamboo hat said softly: "This is a careful plan by the Bohai people. They can sneak into Buliudaren's camp, avoid the checkpoints, and seize Chile Mountain.
, and then escaped unscathed. Not only did they have a careful plan, but the people who carried out the action must not be ordinary characters."
Hongye nodded slightly and said, "I understand."
"It's impossible for Qin Xiao to rescue people from over there." Another man in a bamboo hat also looked serious and whispered: "They must be heavily guarded. No matter how strong Qin Xiao's martial arts is, once he is surrounded by enemy troops, he will not be able to survive."
There is no hope of escape."
Hongye frowned and said, "But he seems to have made up his mind. I understand his temperament. If he really makes up his mind to do something, even nine cows can't pull him back."
"This is a grudge between Buliuda and the Bohai people. There is no need for Qin Xiao to get involved." The man in the hat frowned and said, "Is Qin Xiao too stupid to put himself in a dangerous situation for Buliuda?
Too confident?"
Hongye thought for a moment and then said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I have my own opinion."
"Little senior sister, you won't be confused along with him, right?" The man in the hat said worriedly.
Hongyeliu frowned, glanced at the man coldly, and said calmly: "Meng Cang, when will I need you to dictate my affairs?"
"I don't dare." The man in the bamboo hat said hurriedly: "Senior sister, please don't misunderstand me. I'm just worried that you will act on your own initiative...!"
Hongye seemed unwilling to talk to them anymore, waving his hand and saying: "You go back first. Remember, I never like anyone to make irresponsible remarks about my affairs. It's not your turn to talk about what I want to do.
I won’t argue with you this time, but there won’t be a next time!”
The two looked at each other and could only bow and say yes. Seeing that Hongye had no intention of continuing, they both put on their bamboo hats, saluted again, and retreated.
Hongye looked at the beating wick of the oil lamp, thoughtfully.
After a while, he suddenly heard the cold wind blowing at the tent door. He frowned and looked up, only to see a figure flash in. Although the other person was wearing a mask, Hongye knew who it was just by looking at the figure, and said indifferently: "Here you go.
What are you doing? Don’t you want to inform me before entering the account?”
"Last time you entered my tent, you didn't say hello." Qin Xiao walked over, took off his mask, sat down on the wool blanket, looked at Hongye and said: "Sister Hongye, I'm here to say goodbye to you.
"
Hongye said calmly: "Are you really going to the Bohai people's camp?"
"It has been planned. Donglin Khan arranged a mission overnight and set off tomorrow to the Bohai people's camp for negotiations." Qin Xiaodao: "At that time, I will mix with the mission and go over to investigate the situation."
Hongye frowned but said nothing.
"Your guess on the way was correct." Qin Xiao said: "This time the captain was kidnapped, it was carefully planned by the Bohai people. Six of his accompanying guards were killed, and they didn't even have a chance to send out a signal for help before they died. Six
Among the people, two had flying knives thrown into their throats, two had their vitals slashed with large knives, one of the remaining two had his throat cut off, and the remaining one was punched in the center. All of them were fatally struck in an instant.
"After a pause, he said: "If nothing else happens, the people who implemented the kidnapping plan will not only have a lot of people, but they will also be good players."
"So you know that there is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den over there, but you still want to go there?"
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "I just went over to see the situation. Even if the Bohai people are shameless, they will not attack the envoy."
Hongye stared at Qin Xiao for a moment, sighed, and said: "If you want to go, just go. Why don't you come and say goodbye to me? Do you feel that you have gone...!" It seems that the last two words are really unlucky, so he did not say it.
exit.
"I know you came here this time to protect me." Qin Xiao sighed: "I would be really sorry if I left without saying goodbye. Sister Hongye, I will keep your kindness to me in mind, but this time I really
I can’t run away from the battlefield, I hope you can understand.”
Hongye said calmly: "I understand. You can leave, I'm very tired!"
Qin Xiao seemed to want to say something, but in the end he couldn't. He could only stand up and said: "Then you should go to bed early." Seeing Hongye, he ignored her and could only leave the tent.
The mission arranged by Donglin Khan was led by a man named Karasuma Taku.
Karasuma Taku was from the Karasuma tribe and held a civilian position in the military, mainly responsible for logistics matters.
Because he has always dealt with logistics affairs, this person is considered shrewd. Moreover, this person is not responsible for military affairs on weekdays, and he does not know much about Buliuda's military deployment. In addition, he is just Qin Jin, so it is not that important.
The person is indeed the best person to go for preliminary negotiations.
The most important thing is that Karasuma Taku is also Donglin Khan's confidant. The envoy to the enemy camp must know the truth about the capture of the captain. Donglin Khan naturally cannot let too many people know. After Karasuma Taku knows the truth, then
He is also able to strictly keep secrets.
Donglin Khan personally sent the negotiation delegation to the Xing'an River.
Karasuma Taku brought twelve undead army guards with him on this trip, but Qin Xiao was also among them. In addition, Donglin Khan directly ordered Qin Xiao to command these undead army guards in case of emergencies. The undead army soldiers were all accompanied by
No one knew who was wearing the skull mask. Donglin Khan just asked Qin Xiao to add an extra feather on the felt hat so that everyone could recognize who was the commander of the guards.
Qin Xiao came to the Xing'an River from the camp. Along the way, he also observed that there were quite a few sentry posts built by the Buliuda Army. Moreover, these sentries existed from the ground to the trees, and they were well-proportioned, forming a strong sense of hierarchy.
defense system.
All the sentries are built quite solidly, made of rammed earth and trees. There are at least ten people stationed at each sentry. The tree house sentries in the trees are all occupied by archers, while the sentries on the ground are
They are weapons. Once the enemy attacks, these sentries are enough to exert the maximum defensive effect.
The Xing'an River is an extremely wide river in the Black Forest. It winds down from north to south. The river is extremely wide. The entire river is like a god using a knife to cut the forest in half.
Today, the two armies are bounded by the Xing'an River, with the Bohai Navy stationed to the east and the Buliuda Army stationed to the west of the Xing'an River.
It was winter, and this broad river had already frozen, and the entire river was as solid as a mirror, enough for horse racing. Because of this, both sides would be more vigilant in the cold winter, lest the other side take advantage of the ice to freeze over.
Ice attacks.
In fact, although the two sides have not carried out a full-scale attack for many years, there will still be small conflicts every now and then. This river will leave many corpses due to fighting every year.
On the night when Chile Mountain was captured, there was an extremely fierce battle on the river. Both sides suffered casualties. Afterwards, both sides sent people to carry back the bodies of the soldiers who died in the battle, so the river is now clean.
Before setting off, Donglin Khan naturally talked with Qin Xiao in detail. It was not easy to talk to Qin Xiao in front of everyone at this time, so he just gave Karasuma Taku some more instructions.
Naturally, Karasuma Taku didn't know that Qin Xiao existed among the accompanying guards. He only thought that he was really going to the enemy camp to negotiate and redeem the captain and others. However, he repeatedly assured Donglin Khan that this trip would never humiliate Buliu.
dignity.
The mission was about to set off when they suddenly heard a voice coming from behind. When everyone looked back, they saw three Undead Army soldiers approaching quickly.
Donglin Khan and others were a little surprised. Qin Xiao saw the walking posture of the man in front, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Although the man was dressed like an undead army, wearing a leather jacket, a skull mask, and a thick leather jacket to hide his figure, Qin Xiao could still recognize the person at a glance as Hongye. The two people behind her
The identity of the person is obvious, and of course they are the other two academy disciples who came with her.
The red leaves have finally arrived.
Donglin Khan was surprised, but Hongye walked up to Donglin Khan and whispered a few words into his ear. Donglin Khan was even more surprised. He turned around and glanced at Qin Xiao, hesitating slightly.
Then he said: "You three will also go to protect us together!"
Karasuma Taku was also a little strange, thinking that twelve guards had already been arranged. They were here to negotiate. In fact, there were already a lot of people. Why did Donglin Khan arrange three more guards?
But since Donglin Khan had arrangements, he naturally wouldn't say anything more.
Hongye led the two people directly into the queue. Qin Xiao stared at Hongye's eyes under the mask, but Hongye rolled his eyes.
Karasuma Taku led the people down the path and directly onto the ice. Immediately, four people came in front, Karasuma Taku followed behind the four people, and Qin Xiao and others followed behind Karasuma Taku.
This was to go directly to the preliminary negotiation for redemption, so naturally I wouldn’t bring anything with me, so I stepped on the solid ice and headed straight to the other side.
Dong Linhan and others watched from a high position as the team headed east. When they saw that the team was about to reach the opposite side, a large group of people rushed out from the forest on the opposite side and instantly surrounded Karasuma Taku and his group.
Everyone around Donglin Khan immediately held down the hilt of the knife, but a moment later, they saw the group of Bohai soldiers surrounding the envoy walking into the woods opposite, and soon there was no trace of them again.
Donglin Khan didn't look back for a long time, he only hoped that Qin Xiao would gain something from this trip.
Karasuma Taku reported his identity and directly claimed that he was an envoy sent by the Bu Liuda Army. He asked to see the general of the Bohai Navy to discuss important matters. However, the leader of the other party seemed to know that the Bu Liuda envoy would arrive. After entering the forest, he asked people to
First, he collected all the weapons of everyone in the envoy, including Qin Xiao, and then had everyone blindfolded before leading them eastward.
Everyone was almost escorted forward, and there were two people beside each person. They were blindfolded so that they could not see the way. Once they strayed off the road, the Bohai soldiers immediately pushed and pushed them, which was very rude.
Qin Xiao knew that Hongye had a bad temper, and was afraid that this aunt would not be able to bear it anymore and hurt others. If this was the case, the consequences would be disastrous.
Fortunately, Hongye could hold back along the way. He didn't know how long he walked. He even took a break twice on the way. When he felt that it was almost dark around him, he suddenly heard the rumbling of drums and the sound of horns. At this time, someone finally solved the problem.
He opened the cloth covering his eyes.
Qin Xiao looked around through the eye holes in the mask. He saw bright firelight all around, but there were many Bohai soldiers holding torches. It turned out that they were already in a camp of the Bohai Navy.
There were soldiers beating drums and trumpets all around, and the formation was huge. In front of it was a large tent, with a long animal skin carpet spread straight to the tent door. On both sides of the carpet, there were fiercely armed Bohai warriors, all holding spears.
Majestic.
Qin Xiao knew that he was blindfolded along the way. Naturally, the Bohai people were worried that the envoy would see the way to the big tent, and they were also wary of the envoy seeing their stronghold deployment. As for the current scene, of course, they wanted to give envoy Bu Liuda a chance to
deterrence.
"Summon the six-step envoy into the tent to pay a visit!" Someone outside the tent shouted loudly.
Karasuma Taku straightened his clothes and was about to go over when Qin Xiao came close and whispered: "Qijin, I'll accompany you in!"
Karasuma Taku nodded, Qin Xiao turned around and said: "You guys wait here!" But he followed Karasuma Taku to the big tent.
Just two steps away, he saw the Bohai warriors on the left and right sides of the carpet raising their arms at the same time, interlacing their spears to form a human figure. Karasuma Taku frowned, showing an annoyed look, but in the end he could only learn from the Bohai warriors' arms.
After passing under the spear, they reached the tent door. Someone opened the tent door, and Karasuma Tuo and Qin Xiao entered the tent one after another.
There was silence in the big tent, but the fire was bright.
From a distance, Qin Xiao saw a big chair in the middle of the tent. Sitting there was a man wearing armor. He was in his early thirties and looked majestic. There were two generals standing on both sides, both with distinctive armor.
, wearing a big sword on his waist, like a wolf or a tiger.
Karasuma Taku was not frightened by this formation. He walked forward directly. Seeing the opponent's attire, he bowed and saluted: "Bu Liuda's messenger Karasuma Taku has seen Bohai Lisa!"
Laisa is the military officer of Bohai, a senior military general who holds military power. Buliuda has been at war with Bohai for many years, so Karasuma Taku can naturally judge the identity of the other party from his attire.
He knew that the Bohai Navy deployed nearly 10,000 troops in the Black Forest, and the one who commanded these troops was La Sa. However, the Bohai Navy's generals in the Black Forest had been mobilized quite frequently in the past two years, so even though Karasuma Taku knew the other party's official position,
, but I don’t know the other person’s name.
"Bold!" A thick-bearded military general at the lower left of La Sa said sternly: "When you see La Sa, why don't you kneel down and salute?"
Karasuma Tuo shook his head and said: "Bohai and Buliuda are both vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, and we are equal. Buliuda is not a vassal state of Bohai. Of course, there is no need to kneel down when envoys come to see us."
"Choke choke choke!"
Immediately, several Bohai generals drew their swords from their scabbards.
Karasuma Taku looked around and said with a smile: "Laisa, this is your Bohai way of hospitality? If spread, people in the world will only think that Bohai people are rude and do not even know etiquette. They only know how to draw swords and threaten."
To be honest, since I dared to come, I never thought about going back alive. If Lasa doesn’t want to negotiate, just behead me and we won’t have to waste words!”
