"Then, that Adjutant Zheng, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out." Gong Jinniu said with a confused look on his face.
Zheng Quchi was confused: "What do you mean?"
Gong Jinniu looks very similar to his name. He has bronze skin, thick limbs, a broad and strong back, simple and blunt facial features, and a pair of round and black eyes. He looks like a man with an honest character and a clumsy tongue.
He pursed his lips and explained: "His Royal Highness entered the palace together with Lieutenant Wang Feichen, Chang garrison guard Zhao Deyu and Pang Min who came to meet him. This was not in compliance with the rules. After all, the Six Nations military trial has not officially ended yet. It's just that something urgent happened in the Ye Kingdom, so it was temporarily suspended. If we all leave the Golden Heron Hunting Ground, we will either have to admit defeat or give up, or we have to give an explanation to Beiyuan and Julu."
Now only Beiyuan, Julu and Ye from the Six Kingdoms have yet to decide the winner. If this matter is settled, Ye can agree, but Beiyuan cannot.
Zheng Quchi frowned after hearing this: "King Ye is dead, how can we compete with each other? Is it meaningful? Why not..." At this point, she paused, thought about it for a moment, and then immediately changed her words: " It seems to be quite meaningful, it doesn’t matter to us whether King Ye dies or not, Ye Kingdom has a successor anyway, and we have His Highness the Crown Prince as a guarantee, so we really can’t admit defeat easily in this Six Nations test.”
When it comes to the King of Ye, Zheng Quchi's senses are not very good. As the top leader of the Ye Kingdom, he is not only unqualified, but also one of the culprits who directly plunged the Ye Kingdom into dire straits. She has no sentimentality when such a person dies. .
"Yeah, Taurus also thinks we can't admit defeat. The Beiyuan Army chased the Julu Army all the way deep into the swamp, trying to snatch the Cangxuan Token in the opponent's hand. Now that they haven't grabbed it, and they feel it's troublesome, they just They turned around and came to find us again, making it impossible for us to leave even if we wanted to." Gong Jinniu complained.
"You said the Beiyuan Army is guarding the outside right now?" Zheng Quchi was surprised.
Gong Jinniu nodded and said with a gloomy look on his face: "That's right, they are standing outside, saying that they will give us a day to think about it. If we are willing to hand over the Cangxuan Order, they will not fight us. If we insist on being stubborn, then they will The only option is to use force to rob."
"Beiyuan is still willing to give us a day to think about it?" Zheng Quchi twitched the corner of his mouth, and he understood Hou Feiqing's behavior. He did not play tricks, it was just a conspiracy, using hard strength to destroy everything.
Gong Jinniu said: "The main reason is that the Beiyuan Kingdom is strong enough. Even Xize's ever-victorious army has no power to resist them when they encounter them. Otherwise, the Beiyuan Kingdom is the most untouchable lord among the seven kingdoms. They Their equipment and weapons are the best among the Seven Kingdoms. Our ordinary swords cannot cut through their armor, but their swords can cut them one by one and cannot stop them at all."
Zheng Quchi also sighed with him: "Sure enough, the overwhelming power can break through all the bells and whistles. If we go head-to-head, we will be dead."
Thinking that she was frustrated, Gong Jinniu became a little anxious: "Adjutant Zheng, do you have any other options? It's a pity that we finally got to this point."
Does Gong Jinniu really think she is a god? Can she turn things around or go against the odds and change her life?
"What can I do?" She turned her joints slightly to see how badly her body was injured: "The Beiyuan Army is impeccable from every aspect. Even if it is, it is not like us. The miscellaneous soldiers can win by using some tricks, but it is impossible to defeat them. Now we can only find ways not to lose."
Her casual words caught Gong Jinniu's attention, and he couldn't wait to ask: "Don't lose? Why don't you lose?"
Seeing that he was so serious, Zheng Quchi thought that all the hard work and troubles she had endured before, including the injuries on her body, were all due to the extreme unwillingness and desire in her heart. After finally reaching this point, she could give up easily. ?
The eager light in Gong Jinniu's eyes was so familiar. It was in her eyes, and it was also in the eyes of all the soldiers in Ye Camp...
No, she can't.
Zheng Quchi turned his eyes away and stared at the burning flame of the lamp. There was no wind in the room, and it had not been moved, but it was still swaying, and the light would not remain unchanged.
After a long time, she said: "Isn't there another Julu Army that slipped through the net? Mo Ye has two Cangxuan Tokens in his hands. If we can obtain four Cangxuan Tokens, even if we finally sue for peace with Beiyuan Kingdom, we will not be able to win. Consider yourself a loser.”
This... is the truth. If you can't win, then find a way not to lose. If the Ye Kingdom can get four Cangxuan Orders from other countries in the Six Kingdoms Trial, it sounds like it will be proud of its reputation. No. Forget it...
Gong Jinniu's eyes were as wide as bull's eyes, thinking happily and looking forward to the future.
"But the Beiyuan Army can't catch the Julu Army. You can imagine how good they are at hiding. How are we going to find them?" Gong Jinniu felt confused about the reality.
"I'm not looking for it." Zheng Quchi shook his head.
ah? Gong Jinniu became anxious when he heard this: "Why aren't you looking for me again?"
It couldn't be that Adjutant Zheng simply gave up because he felt the task was too difficult.
"One person is hiding, but hundreds of people are hard to find. We have to go out as soon as possible to support the crown prince in seizing the throne. How can we have so much time to waste it slowly with them, so I have to find a way to let the Julu Army come out on their own."
After hearing this, Gong Jinniu immediately looked at Zheng Quchi with admiration: "Adjutant Zheng, you are really amazing. What you said is so right, even though I, Old Niu, didn't understand a word of it."
Zheng Quchi: "..." If you don't understand, why are you bragging and making her happy?
Seeing Zheng Quchi squinting at him with a speechless expression, Gong Jinniu hurriedly explained: "Actually, His Highness the Crown Prince often speaks, and Jin Niu doesn't understand them very well. Adjutant Zheng is as smart as His Highness the Crown Prince. Only smart people like you can speak. It’s incomprehensible.”
Zheng Quchi understood what he meant, and she reached out and patted his arm: "I am not as good as the prince. I only have one mind, but he is full of minds." She looked at him with a confused and unclear face. Looking at his Gong Lao Niu, he felt an inexplicable feeling of sympathy: "We don't want to compete with them anymore. We do practical things and don't play with those vain things."
Gong Jinniu didn't know what Adjutant Zheng thought of dividing her into a group with him and not being in the same camp as His Highness the Crown Prince. He didn't know at all that although Zheng Quchi was intelligent, she had no scheming intentions. The kind of person who plays with people's minds is simply a person from two different worlds.
"Adjutant Zheng, what should we do now to get the Julu Army to come out on their own?"
Zheng Quchi thought for a moment: "First bring the map of the Golden Heron hunting ground."
"Oh, I'll go right away." Not long after he left, he hurried back: "Adjutant Zheng, here, the map is here."
Zheng Quchi spread out the map of Jinlu's hunting ground, and then stared hard at it with an expression on his face.
"Adjutant Zheng, what's wrong with this map? Is there a problem?"
"No...I'll study it some more." She waved her hand.
She wasn't used to looking at this abstract map yet. Give her some time, and she would definitely be able to successfully conquer it.
"Beiyuan Kingdom definitely does not have a map of the Golden Heron hunting grounds, but there is a high probability that Julu Kingdom has one..."
"How do you say this?"
"The Julu Army can successfully escape the pursuit of the Beiyuan Kingdom. It has no innate advantage. I don't believe it if they are killed. Moreover, according to my analysis, the powerful country that Queen Ye colludes with in private is most likely the Julu Kingdom."
Gong Jinniu was confused when he heard this: "Queen Ye is with the Julu Kingdom?! But hasn't Queen Ye always had a close relationship with the envoys of the Hongsheng Kingdom and the Nanchen Kingdom?"
Gong Jinniu seems to know a lot. He doesn't seem to have any scheming, but that doesn't mean he has no brains.
"The Hongsheng State and the Nanchen State did not talk about the invasion against the Ye State. Their intentions were so obvious. They would not accept the Ye State's request for peace, and would only try every means to eat them up. , On the contrary, the Julu Kingdom is adjacent to the Ye Kingdom. Although it is not as good as the lips and teeth, once the Ye Kingdom is destroyed by other countries, the Julu Kingdom will only get one-sixth of it at most. Why not change it in another way? Secretly controlling Ye State and secretly forming a subordinate relationship between the two countries, is this equivalent to possessing the power of the entire Ye State?"
Zheng Quchi's analysis was very clear. Although it was just a guess, all the reactions and decisions of King Ye and Queen Ye, as well as the behavior of treating her husband Yu Wensheng's body as a "gift" of surrender and allowing them to humiliate and trample on her, made her feel that she You guessed it right, of course there are some clues that Yuan Xingzhou accidentally mentioned to her.
Gong Jinniu was so surprised that he stuttered: "Really, really?"
"It's a guess. Whatever it is, it doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong. Because King Ye is dead, we won't let Queen Ye be arrogant alone. The country of Ye has changed, so any previous plans and private alliances will not count. Already." She said.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. In short, in order to prevent us and the Beiyuan Army from catching them, the Julu Army will definitely find a hiding place to hide. Let's look for it on the map first."
"Although the Golden Heron hunting ground is not big, there are still many places where people can hide." Gong Jinniu came over and took a look.
"However, it is a relatively safe place with water sources and a place where you can hunt and make fire. Under various conditions, the places they can hide are very limited." Zheng Quchi said.
Hearing this, Gong Jinniu suddenly woke up and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, their camp was burned down, and they didn't bring food or water along the way. They definitely can't hide in one place forever. To sum up, the place where they are most likely to wait for a long time is It’s…a swamp!”
He walked around on the map and finally pointed to a place with a zigzag water line. This was the shape of the swamp on the map.
There are no streams in the mountains, no trees in the grasslands, and dangerous forests. Although they can hide and roam deep and are not easily found by the enemy, and can escape from the front and back, it is not an excellent territory for them.
Only the Lushui swamp has lakes, dead forests, prey, and dense aquatic plants. It is both convenient for hiding and suitable for survival. It is not a problem to hang out for at least a few days.
The only unsafe factor is the poisonous reptiles that appear in the swamp at any time.
But there is no place without danger.
"Yes, if it were me, I would definitely choose the swamp. Besides, I just heard you say that the place where the Beiyuan Army chased them was near the Lushui Swamp, right?"
Gong Jinniu nodded: "Yes, the Julu Army must have entered the swamp, but the swamp is so big, and the water and grass are dense in spring and summer. If they keep hiding in the swamp and following us in circles, it will be difficult to find them."
This is not difficult for Zheng Quchi. She said: "He wanted to hide all the time so that Beiyuan Kingdom could not find anyone, and finally turned the gun to deal with us first. He had a good idea. They shot me with concealed weapons earlier, and I will do it now." Let the snake bite them!"
She opened her mouth and bit it viciously.
"Release the snake? Adjutant Zheng, where did the snake come from?"
"There are the most reptiles in the swamps this season. I read a geography not long ago. There is a kind of snake grass growing near the Lushui swamp. As long as we burn them, the snakes will smell the smell of this snake grass." , will be very excited, crawling around, we can't find the location of the giant deer army, but these snakes will definitely find it, then hehe..."
Seeing Adjutant Zheng's sinister "hehe" smile, Gong Jin Newton felt his scalp numb.
It seems that if you offend anyone, you must not offend Adjutant Zheng. She looks so kind and cute, but once she gets angry, she is very scary.
"What does the snake plant look like? Adjutant Zheng, please describe it to Taurus. Taurus will arrange this right away!"
"I've only read the content description, and I'm not sure exactly what it looks like, so I still have to go look for it myself."
Gong Jinniu hesitated and said, "But Adjutant Zheng, your injury..."
"It's just a skin injury. I can move. I just need to walk slower. I can bear the pain, but I have to avenge myself." She hummed.
"Then Jin Niu, I will arrange some manpower. Once we find traces of the Julu Army, we will immediately go to arrest him. But Adjutant Zheng, you must stay in a safe position and absolutely cannot take risks. Otherwise, when His Highness knows that you are injured, you will still be with us." If we go to capture the Julu Army together, we will definitely kill my Taurus."
"Don't worry, I also cherish my own life. Now... we have to discuss how to successfully leave Ye Camp from the siege of the Beiyuan Army?"
"Taurus still has a way to solve this problem. He just needs to offend Adjutant Zheng and pretend to be a soldier so that he can leave with us."
"It's no problem."

Lushui Marsh
Mo Ye thought that after getting rid of the Ye Army and the Beiyuan Army, he would be able to fly like fish in the sea and birds in the sky, but he didn't know that he was not a real fish or bird. He could not live with only water. No real pair of wings can fly.
He and his team lost the protection of the camp and walked alone in the wilderness. If they needed water, they could only find lakes and streams. Always be aware of possible dangers from wild beast poisons.
In the wilds of this era, even a bite from a mosquito can cause a huge swelling. Even those with weak immunity can suffer from skin ulcers and pus, leading to malaria and filariasis.
Not to mention the bites of other poisonous scorpions or poisonous insects, which can kill you every minute.
Along the way, they were exhausted and couldn't get anything they wanted. They were really tired and hungry. (End of chapter)
