Chapter 363 Chapter 366
The morale was like a rainbow, and the enemy's position was not stable. The three vanguards of the Chinese Army, each composed of 2000 people, rushed up the hillside like three long snakes, as fast as a sharp arrow, as fast as a thunderbolt, and savagely rushed up the hillside like a storm. enemy formation.

Li Mi and the generals who came to the top of the slope commanded their men to rush down the slope to intercept before the commander-in-chief's flag was erected, hoping to repel the enemy's first round of charge, and after reorganizing their positions, they will face the battle with superior forces.

Arrows shot down from the sky, and the cavalry of the two sides met in the middle of the several-mile-long hillside and killed at close range. For a while, the sky was dark and the sun and the moon were dark.

There are many dead and wounded on the slope, which fully demonstrates the ruthlessness of the war. The blood dyed the grass and slopes blood red, which is shocking.

At this moment, Ling Longjiao, who was scouting out Li Mi's defeated army, came back with more than ten riders, kicked off her horse, and came to the room between the two of them in a heroic manner, and reported: "Li Mi's defeat was terrible this time. Even the commander-in-chief has fallen. I’m afraid he never dreamed of such a tragic battle when he raised his troops.”

Shen Mu inspected her exquisite and protruding body several times up and down, and said with a smile: "Only someone like Jiaojiao who can control the whole situation on the battlefield can be unscathed, ha!"

Linglong Jiaoqiao blushed and said: "If you mock me for not being able to contribute in the battlefield, I will never let you go. But since you call me Jiaojiao so nicely, I will spare you for now."

Shen Mu smiled and said, "I'm just relieved to see that you are in good health! Has Li Mi gone back to his hometown Luokou? This old boy slipped away so fast."

Zhai Jiao also came back, jumped off the horse with an excited expression on her face, and shouted: "We will attack Luokou immediately."

The next seven days decided the fate of Li Mi's generation of heroes.

Bing Yuanzhen, who was guarding Luokou, surrendered to Yang Gongqing, who was approaching the city. Shan Xiongxin, another general of Li Mi, supported his troops at this critical moment and was persuaded to surrender.

Li Mi knew that the situation was over, so he had to lead his people to flee to Hulao, while Wang Bodang retreated to Heyang.

Shen Mu and Yang Gongqing reorganized the army and horses, preparing to take advantage of the victory to pursue and take down the Hulao.

Unexpectedly, Li Mi fled first when he heard the wind, and fled to Heyang to join Wang Bodang.

He originally wanted to use the Yellow River as a barrier to defend Taihang in the north and Liyang in the east, so as to reverse the defeat.

But after the defeat, the morale of the army was slackened.

In addition, because of the death of Zhai Rang, the Wagang Army laid down the factors of division early on, and the old generals refused to order one after another, making it difficult for Li Mi to use his strength and no place to use his force.

Wang Shichong's army also had to rest and reorganize because they had just acquired many cities and large tracts of land. It was difficult for them to cross the river to attack Heyang for a while, and it became a situation of confrontation across the river for a while.

That night, when Shen Mu returned to the backyard of the Hulao Palace, someone called out from behind the pillar: "Master Kou!"

Shen Mu probed and looked, it turned out to be the charming maidservant Chu Chu.

The beauty took his sleeves, came to the depths of the bamboo forest in the garden, and said quietly: "I heard that Miss said that I will break up with you tomorrow! Is it?"

Shen Mu felt a pain in his heart, and couldn't help reaching out to caress her shattered face, and said softly: "Something happened in the south, I will definitely come back."

Chu Chuxi said: "That's really good!"

Xuan lowered his head and said sadly: "But the maid will not be able to serve Master Kou for a long time."

Shen Mu couldn't help but took out the pendant hanging around his neck, and said with a smile, "Look! Don't you always serve me personally?"

Chu Chu's tender body trembled violently, showing a look of surprise and surprise, and then threw herself into his arms, desperately hugging him tightly, and wept with joy.

Shen Mu's arms were full of soft jade and warm fragrance, sniffing her unfamiliar yet extremely familiar body fragrance, recalling the intoxicating scene of dying in Dalongtou Mansion, he hugged her tightly with both hands and said: "Don't cry, as long as we can be together Live well in this troubled world, and one day there will be a happy and free life.”

At this moment, whether it was Song Yuzhi or Li Xiuning, they were all far away from him.

Chu Chushu left his embrace again, panting delicately: "Chu Chu has lost her composure!"

Shen Mu couldn't help hugging her into his arms again, feeling her unreserved affection for him, and said: "Remember! I never thought you were a servant, and I never will."

Chu Chu trembled all over, and said, "Master Kou, take good care of yourself."

After saying that, I shed tears and went away.

The next day, the warship headed westward against the current.

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling stood side by side on the bow of the boat, facing the river wind and unpredictable fate.

Shen Mu said: "As long as we find Xu Xingzhi, we will leave immediately. Even if we want to turn our backs and beat them out, I will leave."

Xu Ziling said indifferently: "Wang Shichong will never dare to do anything to you openly, otherwise he will not be able to convince the public, not to mention that Li Mi is still dead but not stiff, he will not be so stupid as to shake the morale of the army."

Shen Mu nodded and said, "That makes sense! I think so too."

Xu Ziling fell silent.

The sun was setting.The warship sailed into Luoyang City and headed towards the imperial city along the Luoshui River.

On the high places of the city wall and the sentry towers along the coast, flags were fluttering, a triumphant scene after victory.

The river course is full of boats and boats, and the land is even more crowded with people and vehicles, bustling and prosperous.Seeing the warships entering the city, passers-by all waved and cheered across the river, and the atmosphere was warm.

The city of Luoyang was surprisingly quiet tonight.

On the head of Luoyang City, Xu Ziling said angrily: "The situation is quite bad. Xu Xingzhi didn't leave any hidden signs. According to my guess, Wang Shichong has seen through our relationship, so he was detained and asked us to rescue him. .”

After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "Saving people is just a last resort. As long as we take hostages such as Wang Xuanying, Wang Shichong won't make an exchange with us."

Xu Ziling smiled wryly and said, "I'm afraid you have to go to the imperial city or palace to find Wang Xuanying. It would be more direct to attack Wang Shichong."

Shen Mu smiled and said, "I'm just making an analogy. In fact, I already have a candidate in my heart, and I won't give in until Wang Shichong."

Xu Ziling said in a deep voice, "Dong Shuni?"

Shen Mu said excitedly: "It's this woman who can harm Yang Xuyan and Li Xiaozi at the same time, do you think Li Xiaozi knows that Yang Xuyan has already taken the top spot of this slut?"

Xu Ziling frowned and said, "How should we proceed? We can't wait outside the imperial city, and we don't know which gate she will leave, let alone which carriage she will hide in."

Shen Mu inspected the other diners in the noodle restaurant, and then leaned into his ear and said, "Nominally, Dong Shuni has become Li Yuan's concubine; logically, she shouldn't step out of the boudoir, let alone see other men. Fortunately, I You and I know what kind of material she is, and it would be weird not to have a private meeting with Yang Xuyan."

Xu Ziling smiled wryly and said, "You said it as simple as eating a bowl of noodles and a steamed stuffed bun. We went in to look for people like blind people. It's no wonder that we didn't make a mess."

Shen Mu said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get Xu Zi. As long as Xu Xingzhi is rescued, Song Jingang's people will arrange for us to go to Jiangdu. Time is tight, so we will take advantage of it tonight."

Then he said: "Do you know who is looking for Yue Shan?"

Xu Ziling asked with great interest, "Who is it?"

Shen Mu pretended to be mysterious and said: "You would never have guessed that it is Shang Xiufang."

Xu Ziling lost his voice: "What? Is she still in Luoyang?"

Shen Mu said: "This misunderstanding is too big! Not only did you impersonate Yueshan, you made her stay here, but you also made her offer a reward of ten taels of gold to anyone who can provide you with the whereabouts of this fake. I really want to ask her, why did she Are you so eager to see Yue Shan?"

Xu Ziling said: "Didn't you say that she has a good impression of you? She even asked you to have a private meeting with her."

Shen Mu smiled bitterly and said: "One moment, another moment. I heard that Li Xiaozi goes to Manqing Courtyard every night to listen to her playing the piano and singing. The two of them are very hot, how can I have my share?"

Xu Ziling shook his head and said: "Li Shimin is definitely not a person who indulges in sex. What he did is just to release a smoke screen to confuse Wang Shichong and others. In fact, he is secretly surrendering to Li Mi. If he succeeds, he will win many games at once without bloodshed. Victory."

Shen Mu's expression changed, "Where did this news come from?"

After Xu Ziling explained in detail, Shen Mu patted the stage and praised: "The boy is really capable, but I don't believe he will succeed. Sigh! Don't be so sure."

Seeing everyone's sideways glances, Xu Ziling reprimanded, "Can you be more careful?"

Only then did Shen Mu lower his head to eat the noodles, and muttered: "What I'm most worried about now is the witch, who suddenly disappeared, and there is no defense. Even if Xu Xingzhi is rescued, the journey to Jiangdu will not be easy. "

Xu Ziling sighed: "Now we have nothing else to do but to walk around."

Shen Mu grinned and said, "We are fighting wits but not strength, why don't you pretend to be Yueshan to meet Shang Xiufang and see if there is any advantage?"

Xu Ziling was moved in his heart and said: "If you want to pretend to be Yueshan, you don't go to meet a talented woman but a witchy woman! Can you find out where Zheng Shiru lives?"

Shen Mu spread his hands and said, "Why don't you try Bai Qing'er's official ship? Anyway, there is still more than half a day tonight, so it's good to find something."

Xu Ziling hesitated and said: "If you meet Zhu Yuyan, maybe she is an old friend with Yue Shan, wouldn't it be obvious to me right away, causing a whole body of ants?"

Shen Mu said: "Sooner or later, you will have to confront Zhu Yuyan, why are you afraid of her? Besides, the chance of meeting her is very slim, this may be the only way to detect the Yin Gui faction."

Xu Ziling pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Okay! Just follow your advice and try your luck."

Xu Ziling deliberately put on a bamboo hat, and lowered the sunshade veil, revealing only the part of his mouth and chin, with a strange and inexplicable atmosphere all over his body, and walked proudly towards the boat that was still moored at the pier, Bai Qing'er.

There are people coming and going at the pier, busy loading and unloading goods, and the river is even more busy with boats and boats.

The weather at this time is covered with dark clouds, and heavy rain seems to be shed at any moment.

Xu Ziling squatted at a bakery stall in the market to eat breakfast, thinking of his missing sister-in-law Zhen, although there were people coming and going and the noise shaking the sky, he felt alone.

Personnel are constantly changing, and no one can control it.

A few days ago, they were guests and distinguished guests whom Wang Shichong relied on for help, but now they have become enemies who turned against each other.

Li Shimin could have become a good friend, but now he is an incompatible enemy.

At this moment, Shen Mu came, and said with a smile, "Hi Brother Scarface, how are the buns here?"

Xu Ziling put a steamed bun with vegetables and meat in his mouth, and sighed: "The buns are the best when you have no money to buy them. What's new?"

Shen Mu said: "I was walking along the Luo River just now and saw a warship sailing towards the imperial city. I'm sure it came back from Yanshi, because when we came back here by boat, it was still moored at the wharf outside Yanshi. place."

Xu Ziling said: "Isn't this a normal thing?"

Shen Mu proudly said: "But this ship is unusual. Not only is the security on the ship heavily guarded, but there are also more than ten speedboats escorting it, and there are cavalry raiding on the shore. Why do you think there is such a big battle? Of course, it is because you are afraid of someone The ones who are afraid of robbing the ship are our two heroes, Yangzhou Ssangyong."

Xu Ziling was shocked and said: "Xu Xingzhi really sneaked to Yanshi to find us, but now they have captured him back."

Shen Mu resolutely said: "It doesn't matter whether there are thousands of troops in the palace, we will go into the palace to save people tonight."

Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "Don't wait tonight! We will enter the palace to save people now. Didn't you say that there are still many Yang Tong's old people in the palace? As long as we can sneak into the palace, we can take advantage of it and try to save people come out."

Shen Mu scratched his head and said, "It's daylight, isn't it a bit of an eyesore for two big men to climb over the wall? I'm afraid people won't welcome you if you enter through the city gate."

Xu Ziling looked up at the sky, and said: "This time, it is really up to man to plan things, and God to make things happen. As long as this rain succeeds, we will have a chance to enter the palace to save people, but first we must make preparations, and then we will see if God will help us." .”

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling hid under a small bridge in Huicheng Canal, Daoguangfang, north of the city, looking at the east wall of the imperial city.

The dark clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker. Although it brought them hope, the heavy rain never fell.

It was only half an hour before noon.

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling, who put on the military uniforms of the imperial guards, rode to the gate of Manqing Court, and shouted: "Miss Xiufang's car has started?"

The person who opened the door hastily opened the door and said, "You two officials, Miss Xiufang is still washing and grooming, but the carriage is ready and ready to leave at any time."

Shen Mu swaggered and said, "Lead me the way!"

Then the two jumped off their horses, and followed the guides to the inner courtyard, Shen Mu knocked around on the way, and soon figured out Shang Xiufang's entourage and the usual situation of going out to the meeting, and they had a plan in mind.

The sky is still densely clouded and not raining, making people feel depressed and depressed, and the flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard seem to have lost their color.

When they arrived at the small courtyard where Shang Xiufang lived, more than a dozen of Shang Xiufang's attendants were cleaning the chariots and horses and preparing to leave.

Shen Mu sent the guide away, pulled the head of the entourage named Bai Sheng aside and said, "Prince Xuanying specially sent us to protect Miss Xiufang, Brother Bai should know that there are frequent accidents in the Eastern Capital recently!"

After looking at the two of them for a while, Bai Sheng said: "The two military masters are very familiar."

Shen Mu pretended to be mysterious and lowered his voice and said: "We have been working with Mr. Xuanshu in Yanshi these days, so we rarely see each other. But the last time Miss Xiufang was in the Shangshu Mansion, didn't I meet Brother Bai? I'm just staying in the mansion, and I still remember Miss Xiufang's first song is "The Young Master Bears Gratitude", hey! I only remember this line, and I forgot the rest!"

What he said is the truth, and Bai Sheng’s doubts disappeared, but he still frowned and said: "I also heard that the east is not peaceful, and Prince Xuanying really has intentions. But the young lady never likes to make public, the two military masters are like this." Accompanied by both sides, I'm afraid the lady will be unhappy."

Xu Ziling next to him was amused, thinking that with more than a dozen entourages surrounded by him, isn't that still considered publicity?It can be seen that this is just a white excuse.Or Ms. Shang Xiufang wanted to give people a more commoner impression, and she didn't want to openly engage with officials.

Shen Mu was in the middle of his arms, patted Bai Sheng on the shoulder and said: "This is easy, we will take off our military uniforms later and follow far behind the team!"

Bai Sheng had nothing to say, so he agreed.

At this time, Shang Xiufang, who was dressed up, came out with the support of two pretty maidservants.

Shen Mu hurriedly dragged Xu Ziling aside "tactfully", and said in a deep voice, "Now as long as we can pass the entrance to the imperial city, we will be gods who have crossed the sea!"

Shang Xiufang's motorcade drove out of Manqingyuan and headed towards the imperial city.

Xu Ziling and Shen Mu were at the tail of the team, looking forward and backward, putting on a show.

Everyone kept looking up at the sky, fearing that the accumulated heavy rain would pour down at any time, and subconsciously increased the speed of the car.

After walking for a while, there was a sudden sound of hooves from behind.

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling looked back vigilantly, and immediately cried out in their hearts, it turned out that the pursuers were Li Shimin, Pang Yu, Changsun Wuji and Yuchi Jingde.

The only thing they can do at this moment is to pray to heaven, hoping that Li Shimin doesn't know each of Shang Xiufang's servants, otherwise they will immediately expose their identities.

Li Shimin and others are different from Baisheng, how can they be so easily deceived.

The two hurriedly dispersed back and forth, and worked hard to restrain their energy, bent their bodies so as not to arouse the vigilance of Li Shimin and others. Fortunately, if they were not sitting on the horse, the tall and straight figures of the two would have made the enemy pay more attention to them .

Li Shimin passed them ahead, seemed to be fully focused on some important matter, and did not cast a glance at them.

Bai Sheng and others saluted one after another, and Li Shimin returned with a nod and a smile.

Pang Yu and others followed Li Shimin closely, and didn't pay much attention to them.

Li Shimin chased after the carriage and drove at the same speed, saying: "Miss Xiufang, hello! Shimin is late!"

The two cheered, and it turned out that Li Shimin had made an appointment with Shang Xiufang to accompany her into the palace.

Shang Xiufang greeted him through the hanging curtain and said in surprise: "King Qin is always punctual, why is he late today? Xiufang doesn't mean to take offense, she's just curious!"

Li Shimin looked up at the dark sky, walked with the carriage for a long distance, and then sighed: "Miss Xiufang, do you still remember Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling?"

Shen Mu in the back was listening attentively. Hearing that Li Shimin mentioned his name to Shang Xiufang, everyone was very interested. On the one hand, he wondered why Li Shimin's late arrival had something to do with them, and on the other hand, he also wanted to know how this beautiful woman with both sex skills would answer. .

Shang Xiufang fell silent for a while, and then said softly after a while: "Talking about Kou Zhong! Xiufang had two dinners with him, and she had a deep impression on him. She always felt that his temperament was different from other people. As for Xu Ziling! Listening to Liuge, I have seen him from a distance, but I haven't had the chance to know him yet. Could it be that King Qin's late arrival is because of them?"
