King Qi and his son were hugging each other and crying bitterly. A lieutenant rushed forward, took off the wet cloth covering his mouth, pointed to the east and said, "King Qi, there is a place without fire in the east!"

Xiao Beiheng heard, let go of King Qi, turned around and grabbed the lieutenant general's chest with both hands: "Where, where?"

The lieutenant general was already choked by the smoke and had difficulty breathing, but after being grabbed by Xiao Beiheng in such a way, he couldn't speak, so he could only point his finger to the east.

Xiao Beiheng looked over the burning fire tree, and sure enough, he saw a dark place, which seemed to be a huge cave.He was overjoyed, pushed the lieutenant away, got up and rushed over, swung his sword to cut down the fire trees blocking the road, and ran to the east.

"Beiheng, wait." Qi Wang Xiaoming got up and chased after Xiao Beiheng.When Fang ran halfway, a small tree that had been cut in half by Xiao Beiheng and was already charred fell down head-on. Xiao Ming couldn't dodge it in time, and the trunk hit his leg.

The trunk had just been burned, and the black charcoal was still glowing red. It pressed on Xiao Ming's leg, and immediately set his pants on fire.

"Bei Heng, Bei Heng!"

Xiao Ming felt the pain in his thigh was unbearable, his nose was full of the smell of burnt flesh, and he couldn't reach out to push, so he called Xiao Beiheng loudly.

The lieutenant general who had reported the letter just now followed beside him, and when he saw this, he quickly hugged the tree trunk with both hands and lifted it up. Several soldiers stepped forward and dragged King Qi out to put out the fire on his trousers.

The tree trunk was hit hard, and the fire burned his legs. Xiao Ming put his hands on the ground and was unable to get up for a while.

The deputy general put down the tree trunk, patted off the sparks on his sleeve, came to Xiao Ming, squatted down with his back to Xiao Ming, and shouted to the sergeant: "Help King Qi on me."

The sergeant rushed to put Xiao Ming on the back of the lieutenant general, and the lieutenant ran eastward with Xiao Ming on his back.

There was a large dark hole on the eastern hillside. Burning weeds kept rolling down from the top of the hole, but still couldn't illuminate the inside, which seemed very deep.

Xiao Ming leaned on the deputy general's back, turned around and shouted to the following soldiers: "Quick, everyone go into the cave to hide."

When everyone saw this cave, they were overjoyed and rushed into the cave.

Once inside the cave, the heat subsided a little, and Xiao Ming regained his composure, and shouted: "Bei Heng, has Bei Heng come in yet? Has any of you seen Shizi?"

"King Qi, the villain has seen His Royal Highness Shizi," a voice called out in the darkness, "he went into the cave."

Knowing that Xiao Beiheng was fine, Xiao Ming felt relieved.He patted the shoulder of the lieutenant under him and said, "If it wasn't for you, my king would have died on the spot just now."

"King Qi is serious. You can still think of our humble soldiers at such a critical moment," the deputy general said as he walked, "the last general will not leave you."

"What is your name? What is your current job?" Xiao Ming asked.

The deputy general said: "The last general's surname is Qi, and his name is Sheng Jue. He is currently the deputy general of the Dingbei Army."

"Qi Shengjue?" Xiao Ming asked, "If I remember correctly, you were under Marshal Zhao, and you were under Xiao Zhuo later, right?"

I remember Xiao Beiheng said before that Xiao Zhuo had an army to surrender to Xiao Kai.Later Xiao Beiheng destroyed Xiao Kai, and Xiao Kai's army returned to the Dingbei Army.

The deputy general stopped in his tracks, he couldn't see his face in the darkness, he paused for a while and said: "King Qi is right, the last general is under the command of King Zhao."

Xiao Ming nodded.No wonder Xiao Beiheng only let Qi Shengjue serve as a lieutenant general, it turned out that it was a general descended from Xiao Zhuo's side, Xiao Beiheng couldn't believe it.But Qi Shengjue saved his life today, and it would be too wronged to let him be the deputy general.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming patted Qi Shengjue on the shoulder: "General Qi, you have made great achievements today, and this king has promoted you to General Xinwu."

Compared with the lieutenant general, General Xinwu skipped three ranks.

Qi Shengjue raised his foot and continued to walk forward, and said, "The last general thanked King Qi." There was no joy in his tone.

Xiao Ming thought that everyone had just narrowly escaped death, and was flustered. He didn't care about Qi Shengjue's reaction, and said with emotion: "I never thought that there was such a cave in this valley. I am really in awe."

This cave is very spacious, and the ground under the feet is also very flat. It feels like walking on flat ground. It doesn't feel like it was formed naturally. It seems to be a food storage place built by the garrison of previous dynasties.

After his heart calmed down, Xiao Ming felt a sharp pain in his leg, and he probably couldn't ride a horse into battle until he recovered from his injury.

After walking for a while, cheers suddenly sounded in front of them.

"King Qi, the exit is ahead," a voice sounded in the darkness ahead, "His Royal Highness has gone out, and there is no enemy ambushing outside."

"Okay, okay!" Xiao Minglian declared yes.

Everyone was overjoyed, cheered thunderously, and flocked to the exit.

Qi Shengjue walked out of the cave with Xiao Ming on his back. Xiao Ming took a deep breath of air and looked back at the glowing red light behind him.

Just now in the valley, there was a crossbow blocking the front, and there were flames all around, I thought I would die for sure.Now that I escaped from birth and saw the sun again, I really feel a world away.

"Look, King Qi, our besieged camp." A general pointed to the northeast and shouted.

Without being reminded by others, Xiao Ming also heard the shouts of killing coming from Shunfeng.It could be seen from a distance that the camp of King Qi's army under the Langya pass was in chaos, with flames everywhere.

"Xiao Zhuo knew that my father and son had come to steal food and grass, and at the same time he was ambushing here, he led his troops to attack our besieged camp," Xiao Ming smiled wryly, "This time it's really a big loss. Let's go back to the base camp for a while. The whole army fights again."

Qi Shengjue said: "King Qi, what should we do with the camp that besieged the city?"

"The King's Dingbei Army is stationed there. The two armies are facing each other head-on. Without tricks, Xiao Zhuo's soldiers cannot win." Xiao Ming said, "My King's leg injury needs to be treated by a doctor. Let's go back to the base camp first."

There were about a thousand soldiers who escaped from the valley, and almost all of them were injured by the smoke, but they managed to save their lives.Everyone escorted King Qi Xiaoming to the main camp of King Qi Army to the east of Xiaogang Village.

The full moon like a silver plate slowly appeared from behind the clouds, and sprinkled the ground with clear light.

On the slope near the entrance of the cave, Shen Yuexi sat on a large bluestone, with her hands on her knees, watching the army flee away in a panic.

She let the cave made by the big bear penetrate into the valley and saved Qi Wang and his son.

If Xiao Ming and his son were burned to death, everything would be over, and all opposing forces would be completely wiped out.Maybe Su Mo's father, Su Han, the prefect of Anzhou, will be a small obstacle, but his ability is definitely not comparable to that of Xiao Ming and his son.

Now she gave up this great opportunity with her own hands and let Xiao Ming and his son escape. In the future, she and Xiao Zhuo will definitely face more hardships.

But she doesn't regret her decision at all.

Getting along with Xiao Zhuo day and night, she knew very well that Xiao Zhuo was someone who would never attack someone close to her.Although he acted cruelly during the conquest of Beidi, Xiao Zhuo did not kill Xiao Kai, who was holding the Yan Que Sword, or the teacher who came to kill him.When she and Xiao Zhuo were at the end of their lives and were besieged by King Doma of Xirong, King Doma put forward such a tempting condition, Xiao Zhuo never betrayed her for his own benefit.

With such a principled man, she felt a sense of security.

Now that Xiao Zhuo has learned that King Qi is his biological father and Xiao Beiheng is his half-brother, Xiao Zhuo will never agree to kill them.Even if she doesn't ask, she can still know Xiao Zhuo's final decision.

She was meditating, and two large hands rested lightly on her shoulders.

"Thank you, Yue Xi." Xiao Zhuo's quiet voice sounded from behind her, "You made the right decision for me when I was confused."

Shen Yuexi smiled slightly, and put Xiao Zhuo's warm palm on the side of her face: "Husband, I already know what kind of person you are, and I also know your decision. No matter how difficult the future is, we will go on together."

Xiao Zhuo didn't answer, but tightened his arms and hugged her into his arms.

"Husband, the moon tonight is really round and has a beautiful rose color... like a strawberry."

"strawberry?"

"It's the name of a kind of fruit. It's red in appearance, with many small pits on the surface, round at the top and sharp at the bottom." Shen Yuexi leaned on Xiao Zhuo's chest, raised her hands and drew the shape of a strawberry in the air, "It tastes sour and sweet of."

"Can Big Bear make... No? It turns out that Big Bear is not omnipotent."

"Hey, you're obviously watching the moon, why are you talking about food?"

"It was you who mentioned it, haha."
