After listening to Liu Rumei's words, Xiao Qing also nodded. Of course she could also understand Liu Rumei's eagerness. After all, there was a chance to return to China. Who wouldn't hurry up and go back?
After eating something hastily, the two of them set out on the road. Along the way, the cold wind roared. In the middle of winter, it was cold during the day, let alone at night. This time the two of them dared to light a torch, but the torch was a little bright in the cold wind. Light is really insignificant. It is like a small boat drifting with the current in the vast sea.
At this time, eagles were constantly flying out of Qingguang City, and news was quickly spreading to the border.
There was no words all night, and the sky turned dim the next day. Liu Rumei and Xiao Qing finally arrived at the Xiaoqing River.
Looking at the misty Xiaoqing River in the distance, Liu Rumei and Xiao Qing couldn't help but feel a little excited.
He jumped off his horse and rushed to the river, where he washed his hands in the river first.
It's cold, but the river water feels warm.
Liu Rumei even brought a handful of water to her mouth and took two sips.
After a brief release of their excitement, the two filled the water bottles, then quickly mounted their horses and continued forward. There was no one guarding the Xiaoqing River, which Liu Rumei expected.
At this time, Zheng Hai had already brought people near the national border, only one step away from Pingzhou on the border of the Great Earth Kingdom.
Maybe it's because of the cold weather. The defenders at the top of Pingzhou City all shrank their heads and hid in shelter from the wind.
No one even stood up to look outside the city.
Zheng Hai and others were cautious and passed quickly along the path four or five miles away.
Everything went smoothly without anyone noticing.
When they crossed Pingzhou's defensive line, Zheng Hai breathed a long sigh of relief. A few miles further they reached the border. After crossing the border, they reached Shuozhou a few miles away.
The dark clouds hanging over his heart finally dissipated.
He also began to arrange his follow-up work. As he walked, he called several members of his team over to make arrangements. "After arriving in Shuozhou, we rushed to the capital as quickly as possible. We had to rush to Liu Houye's house to get Miss Liu's Please report the situation, if you are willing."
"Yes, yes." Everyone agreed repeatedly, which made Zheng Hai feel more at ease.
As he was talking, he heard the sound of horns and drums in Pingzhou City in the distance.
Chen Hai's heart tightened and he called to everyone, "Quick, let's leave quickly."
Fortunately, they were very close to the border. They crossed the border three times, five times and two times. As soon as they crossed the border, a group of people rushed out of the woods in the distance and surrounded them.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
Looking at the coldly shining sword, Zheng Hai suddenly realized that he was wearing the uniform of a soldier of the Great Earth Kingdom. It was no wonder that the people of the Great Cang Kingdom stopped him.
Thinking of this, he laughed and came forward, cupped his fists and saluted the leader and said, "My name is Zheng Hai. I followed Miss Liu to the Great Earth Kingdom. We were separated. I took these brothers with me on the order of the miss." When I came back, for convenience on the way, I put on the uniform of a soldier of the Great Earth Kingdom."
"Zheng Hai? Which team did you originally belong to?"
"He used to be under the command of General Zhao, Zhao Guangzong of Jizhou. You can go over and ask."
"No need to go to so much trouble. General Zhao is still in Shuozhou. Do you dare to follow me in to find out whether it is true or false?"
Zheng Hai nodded and stretched out his hand. Soldiers stepped forward and tied Zheng Hai up. The rest of the soldiers also tied up Zheng Hai's men with ropes and asked them to line up and go to Shuozhou.
Zhao Guangzong in Shuozhou City heard a message from someone saying that a man who called himself Zheng Hai had returned from the Great Earth Kingdom. Zhao Guangzong was overjoyed when he heard the name. This was his subordinate.
He didn't even have time to put on his armor before he hurried to the door to greet him.
I saw a group of people coming from a distance. Isn't the person in front walking with his hands tied up Zheng Hai? Seeing this scene, Zhao Guangzong took two steps and greeted loudly with a smile, "Zheng Hai, you are back."
Zheng Hai actually saw Zhao Guangzong. He was very excited when he saw that the other party took the initiative to greet him. He ran forward a few steps and knelt down in front of Zhao Guangzong with a grunt. "General, Zheng Hai, Zheng Hai is back." .”
Zhao Guangzong stretched out his trembling hand, held Zheng Hai's shoulders, and patted him twice, "It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."
As he spoke, he helped Zheng Hai up. When he lowered his head, he saw that Zheng Hai's hands were still tied. He turned to look at the person next to him and said, "Hurry and untie Brother Zheng Hai."
The soldiers next to him came forward and loosened the rope for Zheng Hai.
Zhao Guangzong gave Zheng Hai a big hug, "Good brothers, you are finally back. By the way, have you seen Miss Liu?"
Speaking of this, Zheng Hai burst into tears. He said with a tearful tone, "I saw it, I saw it. It was Miss Liu who asked me to bring the brothers back."
"What about Miss Liu? Where is Miss Liu?"
Zheng Hai wiped his tears and said, "A few days ago, Xiaoqinghe was heavily guarded and we couldn't get through. Miss Liu went to Qingguang City and said she wanted to make some noise there to attract the enemy's attention. The enemy really fell into the trap. After removing Xiaoqinghe's defense, we were lucky enough to come back."
"Miss Liu, Miss Liu's life or death is uncertain now." As he spoke, Zheng Hai's tears flowed down again.
Zhao Guangzong was silent for a while, Liu Rumei, he was trading his own life for the lives of these people present.
At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and a man wearing ordinary people's clothes hurriedly ran to Zhao Guangzong in the distance, "General, the big country in Pingzhou across the way has suddenly become heavily guarded!"
"The roads and alleys are full of soldiers!"
Zheng Hai took a breath, "General, we just passed by Pingzhou and heard the sound of horns and drums in their city, so we ran over quickly."
Hearing this, Zhao Guangzong nodded, "Maybe Miss Liu has escaped danger, so they set up a defense line in Pingzhou to pursue and intercept her."
"Okay, let's go back to the city to rest first, and we'll talk about the rest later."
Zhao Guangzong settled Zheng Hai here.
At this time in Wannian City.
Duobang also made progress. At noon that day, Duobang was in a restaurant, ordered a pot of wine and a plate of side dishes, and drank by himself. At this time, two people came next to him.
Both of them were wearing the uniforms of the Royal Forest Army.
After the two of them sat down, they ordered a bottle of wine and two side dishes, and talked while drinking.
"Brother, you don't look at me, so you received a scolding from the prince in vain."
When the prince was mentioned, Duobang became immediately interested. He pretended to be nonchalant and looked out the window, but he pricked up his ears to listen to the chatter of the two people next door.
"Hey, Brother Huang, you can't blame me for this. You said, I shouldn't be on duty in the first place. I saw that there was a vacancy, so I kindly took it for a while, but it only caused trouble."
"Yes, Brother Diao, I can understand what you say, but it is also true that your military appearance is not in good shape."
"Hey, you can't hit me with twenty army sticks. If these twenty army sticks come down, I won't be able to lie in bed for half a year!"
