Chapter 152 Support
The sound of jackdaws crossing the border was terrifying.

Walking in the darkness, Shen Qingling held her breath and focused, half of the dagger in her palm was exposed, waiting for an opportunity to move.

At this moment, the thick clouds in the night sky moved a little bit.

The cold and white moonlight slowly falls on the earth, illuminating all the secrets in the forest and valley.

"kill!"

Shen Qingling raised her arms and shouted, and bravely rushed towards the enemy closest to her.

The shouts following her were like waves, getting higher and louder.

Countless soldiers crouched in the grass raised their swords and charged along with Shen Qingling.

The smell of blood spread in the valley, and it took almost a quarter of an hour, and blood flowed everywhere.Countless people fell down, and countless people stood up, stepping on the corpses of their comrades to move forward bravely.

Shen Qingling, who was in Shura Purgatory, seemed unable to see the sunrise. Even though she had seen the cruelty of war, when she returned to the battlefield, she still couldn't control the trembling in her heart.

Human life is as humble as an ant at this time.

The night was long, and at the end Shen Qingling's eyes were red from killing, her hands were so soft that she could hardly hold the knife, so she had to forcefully tie the knife to her wrist with rags.

Slashing became the only thought in everyone's mind.

When the first ray of morning sun rose, the rays of light entered the valley and shone on the soldiers who had fought fiercely all night.

"we won--"

"we won!"

Looking around, all those standing still were Li Chao soldiers in dark red armor.

Lying in the blood stains, Shen Qingling raised her hand to cover her eyes, only showing a slit to look at the sun, she couldn't help sighing in her heart, what a beautiful sunrise.

"Where is the second lady?"

"Find the second lady!"

Qiu Mo's voice suddenly sounded from the forest.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Qingling saw a disheveled man in front of him, crawling over from the bloody swamp with great difficulty, with a concerned and panicked expression.

"I'm here."

Shen Qingling raised her hand feebly to greet her.

Everyone hurried over and carried Shen Qingling away from the filth.The injury on Shen Qingling's body was not the most serious, but helplessly, her previous internal injury did not heal, and now she was traumatized and exhausted, and almost passed out not long after.

When she woke up, she had already returned to the tent, Yang Tu was guarding her, and Qiu Mian was nowhere to be seen.

"Second lady is awake? Don't rush to move. Are you thirsty or hungry?" Yang Tu hurriedly got up and went over to bring a bowl of warm water. While supporting Shen Qingling, he said, "Right now we have occupied the area beyond the Yongguan Pass. At this mountain pass in the north, Deputy General Qiu has already begun to divide the people into two groups, one group will send grain into and out of Yongguan, and the other group will detour to the north to cut off the Khitan people's food line."

Yang Tu himself was actually injured a lot, but he just kept his eyes open all night, waiting by Shen Qingling's bed, for fear of missing her waking up.

"Vice General Yang has worked hard." Shen Qingling glanced at his right hand and left foot wrapped in white linen, and said, "If it wasn't for me, Vice General Yang would be in Bianjing right now..."

"No!" Yang Tu hurriedly intercepted Shen Qingling's words, shook his head and said, "If it wasn't for Er Niangzi, I would indeed be in Bianjing now, but when I learned that Chuyongguan was lost, I would only be annoyed at myself for being powerless and for not being able to do anything. present."

His expression was sincere, but the words that Shen Qingling had prepared were speechless.

Here, Shen Qingling rested in the tent for a day, and immediately urged the army to continue marching out of Yongguan.Several waves of spies sent by Yang Tu came back one after another, some of them reported the recent situation of the besieging army, and some of them inquired about the location of the enemy's reinforcements.

Three days passed in one turn, but Qiu Mo, who had originally returned to the camp, did not come back for a long time.Not only him, but the 3000 people he brought out have also disappeared.

"Qiu Min won't find anything, right?" Yang Tu asked Shen Qingling to avoid the soldiers, and whispered.

Now Shen Qingling's skin injuries have healed to a great extent, only some bruises remained on her face.She rubbed her wrists, turned her head to look at Yang Tu, and said, "What can he find here? Besides, I saved his life, so he won't be so confused about right and wrong."

Having said that, Shen Qingling was still a little uncertain.

She wasn't sure whether Qiu Mian would follow the same path as in her previous life, so she and Yang Tuyi combined to speed up the marching speed of the army again, with almost no rest along the way, and directly pressed down to a place less than a hundred miles away from Chuyong Pass.

However, to the surprise of Shen Qingling and others, all the teams that went out to transport food from Yongguan came back in failure.

It turned out that at a distance of 100 meters outside Yongguan City, the Khitan people had set up a very strict siege stance. If they wanted to transport food inward, they had to break through their encirclement line first, and this would attract the troops of the two Khitan groups. The army moved upon hearing the news.

"Wait for news from Qiubai." Shen Qingling rubbed her forehead and said solemnly.

In fact, Qiu Mian is not ashamed of Shen Qingling's trust.

It wasn't that Qiu Min didn't want to return to the camp, but that he had just found the food and grass line of an army in Khitan when he met the King of Beiliang.Even though Shen Qingling didn't tell Qiu Min about King Beiliang, he already deduced some clues from the look of Chang Shi in the mansion of King Beiliang.

especially--

Especially this Chang Shi's attitude towards Qiu Min.

"Brother Qiu, why are you here at Chuyongguan all of a sudden? Don't tell me that General Shan is back?" Chief Shi Qixiu knew that Qiu Mo was Shan Qun's confidant, so he didn't have so many worries when he spoke. What's the point? It's better to stay in Bianjing and have fun, look at me, running around day and night, not having any fun at all."

Qiu Mo didn't speak.

There are two thousand soldiers waiting behind him, and the grain line he wants to destroy is behind this 'own man'.

Qi Xiu didn't see anything strange about Qiu Min, and thought that Qiu Min was exhausted after a long journey, so he simply dragged people into the temporary post, and said as he walked, "Hey, General Shan is also a torturer, let you bring these What can you do by recruiting people? If you can’t get the credit, the north is already caught in the urn, and you didn’t have any meritorious service in the past, so why not follow my brother and me to make some money outside.”

While speaking, Qi Xiu stretched out his hand and raised four fingers.

"Brother Qi, what does this mean?" Qiu Min asked calmly, suppressing the fire in his heart.

"You don't understand." Qi Xiu laughed heartily, quite complacently, "It takes three people to transport a ration in the army, and when it arrives at my place, I collect another 4000% of the fodder money. Once it changes hands, it becomes an official. Annual salary, [-] taels!"

Getting rich has always been a unique job.

Qiu Min saw through that Qi Xiu was trying to lure him into joining the group, so he asked along the lines of the conversation: "Brother Qi, can you show me the way? I'm bringing two or 3000 people here. I really can't do big things, and the journey will consume a lot. Really. Going out of Yongguan, if you don't have enough credit, you have to hire some people to go in."
