The deputy lieutenant wanted to die, but Liu Hongyan decided to do something with a slap on the forehead, but the implications were deep, and the consequences were even more serious.
As long as there is the slightest mistake, let alone the front line, I am afraid that the entire beam will be turbulent.
Who doesn't know the importance of Liu Hongyan in Qin Feng's heart?
Unfortunately, the deputy lieutenant could not disobey what the second lady had decided. Even if he wanted to inform Qin Feng, it was too late. After all, Qin Feng was currently suppressing bandits in the Qilian Mountains.
In the end, he was really forced to do nothing. The deputy lieutenant begged and begged, and finally stabilized Liu Hongyan, delaying it for two more days.
Taking advantage of this time, he immediately returned to the frontline camp and reported the matter to Xu Mo.
When he learned that Liu Hongyan was going to Beixi County, Xu Mo was furious: "What do you do for food? Why don't you persuade the second lady?"
"If something goes wrong along the way, can you afford it?"
Facing Xu Mo's scolding, the deputy lieutenant looked aggrieved: "General, how can I not persuade my subordinates? My words are almost worn out, but what can I do about the decision made by the second lady?"
"My subordinates almost knelt down, and the second lady reluctantly agreed to stay in Lingzhou for two more days."
"No, my subordinate will come back as soon as possible and report this matter to the general."
Although Xu Mo was furious, he also knew that no one else was to blame for this incident.
After repeatedly confirming that Liu Hongyan could not be persuaded, Xu Mo had no choice but to go to Lingzhou in person.
When he saw Liu Hongyan, Xu Mo's attitude was not much different from that of the deputy lieutenant. Xiaozhi was moved by emotion and reasoned, and almost knelt down.
"Second Miss, you are going to Beixi County, so you are not in a hurry now."
"When King Qin comes back to take charge of the overall situation, I will personally escort you to Ducheng, Beixi County."
"At this juncture, King Qin is away and I have to stay and control the war situation. I am really worried about sending someone else to escort you and the concubine to Beixi County."
Liu Hongyan knew the relationship between Xu Mo and Qin Feng, and also knew that Xu Mo was one of the three major generals in Beixi County and held a high position.
Therefore, when facing Xu Mo, Liu Hongyan was naturally polite, but her attitude did not waver at all.
"Xu Mo, you don't need to dissuade me from this matter. I and the concubine have decided to leave."
"If I can't go there now, I don't know if I want to go to Beixi County again."
"If Feng'er is blamed in the future, just put all the blame on me. Can that brat still eat me?"
Now that it was all said and done, Xu Mo could only compromise.
In order to ensure nothing went wrong, Xu Mo immediately organized an escort team.
Fifty black cavalry, fifty Tianji camp guards, twenty Jinyi guards, twenty dark armed guards, two hundred Beixi light cavalry, plus servants and miscellaneous servants, etc., the full number is close to four hundred people.
With this specification, it is almost impossible to go wrong unless it is besieged by thousands of enemy troops.
Two days later, Liu Hongyan and Xie Yun'er, under the protection of a group of guards, headed towards Beixi County in a mighty manner.
At the same time, the battle in the Qilian Mountains started again.
Qin Feng, along with Zhao Yulong and twenty Tianji Camp guards, had already fought against Wu Heli.
The battle in the mountains and forests is long, depressing, fierce and frightening.
After all, no one is wearing decent armor, so it is difficult to guard against cold arrows. Whoever can lurk in the dark will have the upper hand.
Therefore, the style of fighting in mountainous areas is very different from that in plains.
Qin Feng squatted on the ground, relying on the surrounding branches to cover his body. He held a bow and arrow in his hand and a short blade on his back. His eyes scanned the movement ahead like a falcon.
Within a hundred steps, there was silence, except for the occasional chirping of birds, almost no sound could be heard.
After nearly a stick of incense had passed, Qin Feng's eyes finally locked onto the target.
It was a bandit soldier lying motionless among the dead leaves.
If it weren't for the surrounding birds, which kept pecking on the ground but were never willing to get close to that area, attracting Qin Feng's attention, otherwise this guy would not have been discovered at all.
Qin Feng just held the bow and arrow and stared at the enemy quietly. Time gradually passed, and another stick of incense passed before the bandit soldier finally began to move because of the pain all over his body.
Qin Feng finally raised his bow and arrow and aimed at the bandits.
The bandit moved twice and then stopped moving, so Qin Feng put down his bow and arrow again.
Although his archery skills were no less than those of the Tianji camp guards, the opponent was lying on the ground and the target was too small. In addition, there were too many branches in the forest. It was still too difficult to hit a target fifty steps away with one arrow.
A good meal is not afraid of being late, so Qin Feng patiently continued to fight with the bandits.
The situation of Zhao Yulong and the rest of the Tianji Camp guards was similar. No one dared to show their heads, they all concealed themselves and lurked in secret.
This encounter was actually beyond everyone's expectations.
Even the Anwu Guard did not notice this bandit team.
Qin Feng led the Tianji Battalion guards to explore the surrounding terrain and accidentally collided with this team. After a brief but fierce battle broke out, three of the bandit soldiers were killed, and one person on Qin Feng's side was injured.
After a brief confrontation, both sides hid. Unless reinforcements from either side arrived, they could only continue to waste their lives like this.
More than an hour has passed since the initial confrontation, and there have been no casualties on the battlefield. Both sides appear to be extremely patient. After all, this is a fatal matter. Who dares to be careless?
Even the guards of the Tianji Battalion, who had always been brave and fearless, had to be "cowardly". Their armor was incomplete. The most elite warriors were no different from ordinary infantry archers, and they could kill the opponent with one arrow.
Zhao Yulong, who was only ten steps away from Qin Feng, wanted to get close to Qin Feng several times to discuss strategies to defeat the enemy, but in the end he held back.
Anyone who dares to move is simply because he is tired of living.
In the evening, a sound of footsteps came. Judging from the direction of the sound, it was 90% that it was Qin Feng's person.
The bandit soldiers lying on the ground in a stalemate gradually became panicked. Qin Feng's reinforcements arrived, forming a numerical advantage. The bandit soldiers had only two choices, either to retreat immediately or to be wiped out.
A group of bandit soldiers began to crawl backwards, and as their bodies moved, the target gradually became larger.
Qin Feng raised his bow again, nocked the arrow, and held his breath to aim at the bandit soldiers who were trying to retreat. After making sure that he was 90% sure, he suddenly pulled the bow string.
An arrow flew out and hit the bandit soldier in the waist.
"ah!"
The bandit soldier was in pain, and his body rolled, from crawling to his side. The target became bigger. In an instant, three arrows flew from different directions, directly shooting the bandit soldier to death on the spot.
Seeing this, the rest of the bandits stopped again, not daring to retreat rashly.
The situation of a wolf in front and a tiger behind made them extremely nervous and anxious. The footsteps were getting closer and closer. They had no choice but to risk their lives, get up and run towards the south.
