In front of Qingniu Pass, Commander Gan killed the last enemy soldier and came over to report: "Your Majesty, there are suspicious soldiers along the way."
Master Chu Jiu nodded, not surprised: "Then go back."
Even though he had been mentally prepared, luck did not come in the end. Commander Gan was lying when he said he was not disappointed. He couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, we still have time, we can chase him all the way."
The puppet emperor released five groups of suspicious soldiers, and the others put themselves in their shoes and picked the ones that were difficult to chase. On the contrary, Master Chu Jiu chose randomly. The road was smooth and easy to walk. He caught up with them in less than a day. Calculated, he should be the fastest.
Therefore, Commander Gan felt that he still had a chance.
Just as Lord Chu Jiu was about to speak, a spy came running quickly: "Your Majesty! Urgent information!"
"speak."
"About an hour after the five soldiers and horses left, another group of more than a thousand soldiers and horses came out of the city, and the Second Young Master Yan chased after them."
Commander Gan was shocked: "What? So that road is the false emperor? We have all fallen into the trap!"
However, Master Chu Jiu was not surprised: "It is indeed so."
The more Commander Gan thought about it, the more depressed he became: "If we go the other way, we might still be able to catch up. But in this situation, firstly, we don't have enough manpower, and secondly, we can't compete with the Yan family. This trip is in vain!"
"
Master Chu Jiu thought for a while: "No, it won't be in vain."
"Prince?"
Master Chu Jiu smiled slightly: "We can't get the credit for catching the thief's leader, so why don't we still take advantage of it?"
"ha?"
…
On the banks of the Yangshui River, the Huxiao Battalion finally intercepted and killed all the deserters after a hard battle.
The deputy general kicked the carriage open, and immediately looked shocked, turning around and saying: "General, it's empty!"
Liang Xing frowned and cursed: "Bad luck!"
Before he could get angry, the informants who stayed in the city came after him, shouting as they ran: "General, the situation has changed. The false emperor is not among the five groups, they escaped separately..."
After hearing the informant's tip, the deputy general was stunned: "What? So we were all fooled?"
Liang Xing's face was gloomy. If he just made the wrong choice, forget it and consider himself unlucky. But the reality is that he was fooled, and he can't swallow this breath!
He missed the wrong tooth, swung his riding crop hard, and ordered: "Look back and chase!"
With such a great achievement, a child named Yan would not be able to easily succeed!
So Huxiao Battalion chased back non-stop, and finally returned to the intersection where the troops were separated on the evening of the next day.
It was just the situation at the intersection that made Liang Xing and his men at a loss.
In just two days, a tea shed was set up at the intersection. At this moment, the tea shed was full of people, and there were also soldiers wearing helmets and armor on the roadside.
They have different uniforms and armor, so they are obviously not an army.
But at this moment, they had no grudges. It could even be said that they were sitting together drinking tea without distinguishing between you and me, and then cursed that the hard cakes used as army rations were unpalatable.
What happened?
In a daze, someone spotted them and called out: "General Liang!"
Liang Xing turned around and looked over and recognized that it was the commander of He Xing Army, whose surname was Gan.
"Commander Gan, what are you..."
Commander Gan walked over with a smile and cupped his hands: "General Liang, you have worked hard these past few days. Come, come, our prince invites you to have a cup of tea!"
Liang Xing had no intention of drinking tea, but the situation in front of him was strange. After thinking about it for a while, he finally dismounted and walked over.
"General Liang." Everyone in the tea shed stood up to greet him.
Liang Xing frowned and returned the salute, looked at Mr. Chu Jiu who was sitting in the middle, and asked: "Prince Chu, when did Prince Hexing's palace switch to opening a tea stall?"
His attitude was extremely rude, and Master Chu Jiu didn't care. He smiled and said, "General Liang is laughing at you. The stall has only been open for two days. Thanks to you for your respect. Since you are here too, why don't you sit down and have a few drinks? Don't worry.
I don’t charge for tea.”
Is this a question of whether to charge for tea or not? Liang Xing said coldly: "What if I don't drink?"
Young Master Chu Jiu was still smiling, but his raised eyes had a strong meaning: "Everyone is drinking tea here, wouldn't it be appropriate for General Liang not to drink tea?"
A yellow-haired kid dares to threaten him!
Liang Xing was furious and turned around to say: "I really won't drink anymore!"
After he finished speaking, there were only a few "噌噌噌" sounds, and the sergeants who were sitting on the roadside all stood up, some pressed their swords, and some held their guns.
The situation is tense.
Liang Xing glanced over and saw that He Xing's army was the neatest in appearance. They were full of energy and sharp with their swords and guns. Although the other armies were slightly inferior, they were not bad. Looking back at his men, they chased for two days and three nights.
He had only had a full rest, and his fatigue was now evident.
Comparing the two sides, it is clear at a glance who loses and who wins.
Liang Xing endured it and looked back at the other seats in the tea tent.
"Master Zhao Qi, Master Mei Hou, and Major General Xu, do you think so too?"
Hou Meijin of Xining gave a wry smile: "General Liang, does it matter what we think in our hearts now? To be honest, I am the first person to come to this tea stall. Chu Shizi is better at chess, so I can only recognize it."
Okay. Since I drank this tea, why shouldn’t others drink it?”
Is he angrier than Liang Xing? He rushed back without stopping and was immediately detained by Chu Jiu. The opponent was well fed and drunk, waiting for work. What should he do if he couldn't beat him?
Master Zhao Qi on the right was also very angry. He finally got rid of that boy Zhao Liu, but when he found out that he had been deceived, he immediately turned back and was then besieged by the Chu and Mei families.
Okay, he can't defeat both families, so he'll just accept his fate! This tone can only be vented on the next person.
The face of that Major General Xu was even more ugly. The young man was very angry and showed no face to others: "General Liang, it's okay if you don't drink. Then just step on us! As long as you are capable!"
"you……"
"General!" The deputy general saw something bad going on, and hurriedly grabbed Liang Xing and persuaded him in a low voice, "A good man will not suffer the consequences of the present."
The situation in front of them is obvious. They can't eat it themselves anyway, so they don't want to give it to others. Unless the Tiger Roar Camp defeats all four families, they can't even think about getting there.
Can it be defeated? No matter from the state or the number of people, it is obvious that it cannot be defeated.
Liang Xing's face was uncertain, but he finally endured it.
"Okay! Let me see how long you can drink this tea!"
The five groups of people restrained each other, but each had their own thoughts and did not dare to act arbitrarily.
They watched the sun rise and the moon move, and finally on the morning of the fifth day, they heard the rapid sound of horse hooves.
Under the gaze of everyone, the black-armored warriors galloped in on their horses and were approaching in a blink of an eye.
The knights gave way, and a young man stepped out. Seeing them, he said in a brisk tone: "Oh, you all have come together so well!"
At this moment, no one answered. Everyone had complicated expressions, and all their eyes were focused on the head being held up by the commander behind him.
Although his face is swollen and covered with lime deliberately applied on it, anyone who has seen it can recognize it.
That is the head of the false emperor!
This great achievement finally fell into the hands of Yan Shu.
