Xi Xian and Xue Chun walked up the rugged road, and there were countless corpses lying in pools of blood on both sides of the road, some of them were lying in the middle of the path, and they had to walk over it.

The forest was filled with a pungent smell of blood, Xi Xian and Xue Chun had to stop and vomit every few steps they took, and it took half a day to walk a short distance.

Growing up in the palace, it's not that Xi Xian has never seen a dead person, but it's unbearable for anyone to see the corpses in the mountains and plains, but she still has to force herself to look, and she didn't see a familiar figure in it for a moment She felt at ease.

"Let's go back and wait!" Xue Chun squatted under a tree beside him, too frightened to look up.

Xi Xian pulled her up and said softly, "Don't be afraid, close your eyes and I will lead you away."

The two staggered along the path covered with corpses, screaming in fright from stepping on the hands and feet of the corpses from time to time, but the corpses became denser as they walked up, until finally the two of them were numb from stepping on them.

Looking at the familiar emblem on the broken city crossbow, Yuwen Haoxuan squinted his eyes and stood silently aside, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly to show his inner anger.

"Maybe this is just a suspicious array they deliberately set up to make us suspect that there are traitors in our army." Liu Maolin looked at the emblem on the crossbow that belonged to Jiang Guo's army, and did not want to believe that the crossbow that attacked them just now was actually Issued by one's own people.

Yuwen Haoxuan sneered, "Perhaps the people who set up the formation never thought that we would still be alive to see this city-breaking crossbow."

"With such a large amount of weapons and equipment deployed so close to Yangcheng, ghosts would not believe it if they didn't alarm the nearby defenders." Xia Zizhao said leisurely while touching the emblem.

"But there is old general Wang in the army, how could such a thing happen?" Liu Maolin still tried his best to defend the guarding frontier army.

Yuwen Haoxuan patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "I know you have feelings for the border army, but don't affect your rational judgment. We are still guessing what happened to this matter now, and we will wait until we see you in the army. Everything will come to light, old general."

"Could it be the old general?" Liu Maolin asked with difficulty.

"No." Facing his doubts, Yuwen Haoxuan replied resolutely, "Even if Baocheng was captured back then, the old man didn't even blink an eye. If he had a little selfishness, Baocheng might not have died. A man so determined cannot be swayed by anything."

After hearing his answer, Liu Maolin breathed a sigh of relief. He also didn't want to doubt the old general's loyalty.

But Xia Zizhao smiled disapprovingly, "You don't let Maolin act on his emotions, are you the same? After so many years, everything will change. It seems that among the three of us, I am the only one who is the most rational. "

"It's also thanks to you this time, otherwise we might really be shot down." Yuwen Haoxuan laughed at himself, "But why are you here? Didn't we agree to go to Ziyun Mountain to meet up?" ?”

Xia Zizhao frowned slightly and said, "We had tails following us all the way to Ziyun Mountain, and I didn't deliberately shake them off, but they just followed from a distance, as if they knew there was no target to look for, I'm worried about you guys Something will happen here, I will come to you after handing over Yingying to Shigong."

"The target of their attack this time is precise and fast. It is certain that there are people like them in the army and palace. The purpose of our coming out this time is to find out all of them." Yuwen Haoxuan provoked a The mask of the corpse was indeed the dark and rough face usually seen in the army.

"Today's military is not like it was ten years ago. There have been no wars in these years, and many people have engaged in political gang disputes. Those people must have taken advantage of this gap to bribe people."

Yuwen Haoxuan nodded silently, "After we go back, we should rectify it properly. If we keep people with unsteady positions by our side, we are afraid that accidents will happen sooner or later."

Xia Zizhao shook his head and said, "The internal affairs of the officialdom are deeply intertwined and affect the whole body. It is not easy to rectify it? You are also a person who misses old feelings. Is there anyone in this court who has not given credit to Jiang Guo? A little Wang Baoluo you Even if you can't bear to lose, you can bear to those who are truly meritorious?"

"I know you have a prejudice against Baoluo, but she is the only blood of General Wang and Baocheng's younger sister, so do you have the heart to let me lose Baocheng's only younger sister?" Speaking of Baocheng Yuwen Haoxuan Some excitement.

"She is her, Baocheng is Baocheng, how can she be compared with Baocheng?" Xia Zizhao turned to the side without making any concessions.

Seeing that the two were getting into a dispute, Liu Maolin hurriedly said together, "Now is not the time to discuss these things, let's think about how to reach Yangcheng safely right now?"

"I have an order for the frontier army to gather fire. You go find a high-light to set it off, and the corresponding cavalry will arrive in half an hour." Yuwen Haoxuan took out a thin tube that looked like fireworks from his sleeve, and Liu Maolin After receiving the fire order, he quickly disappeared into the path up the mountain.

Yuwen Haoxuan and Xia Zizhao stood with their backs in silence, and neither of them could bear to speak first. At this moment, there was a rustling sound from the woods around the corner, and Yuwen Haoxuan flew away with his sword in hand, stabbing at At the source of the voice, the dense branches were pushed away, but the panicked faces of Xixian and Xuechun were seen.

Yuwen Haoxuan twisted his waist forcefully, forcefully retracted the thrust of the sword, and landed steadily.

"Didn't I tell you to wait in the car? Why did you come up?"

Seeing a little angry look on his face, Xi Xian thought he was angry with herself, so she explained, "Xuechun and I couldn't wait for the signal for a long time, so we came up to take a look because we were afraid that you might be in danger."

"If it's really dangerous, would it be useful for you to come up?" Yuwen Haoxuan's face was gloomy, and Xi Xian silently lowered her head and stopped arguing.

"She just cares about you. Is it necessary?" Xia Zizhao walked to Xi Xian and put his hand on her shoulder.

Yuwen Haoxuan's already gloomy face became even uglier, he turned and walked back to the side of the broken city crossbow, Xi Xian stepped back a few steps to the side without any trace, and looked at Xia Zizhao with some doubts.

Xia Zizhao smiled back, "Don't worry, he's angry with me."

"Did you quarrel?" Xi Xian asked softly.

Xia Zizhao sighed softly and lowered his head, "It happened a long time ago, and there's nothing to make a fuss about, it's all my fault, why bring it up when people are dead?"

' Whoosh! 'A beam of gorgeous fire burst out from the top of the mountain, even in the daytime, it is extremely dazzling.

Xi Xian looked at Yuwen Haoxuan, who was looking up at the fire, with a complex look in his eyes, suddenly felt that he was far away from him, and there was no shadow of himself in his thrilling past, would he just live forever? In the shadow of his obsession?
