Six moments later.
In the mountains and forests forty miles west of Yuzhong City.
A man with dark skin, thin build, Mediterranean hair, and two pigtails was lying on a thick tree trunk.
He also held a clairvoyant eye in his hand and kept looking at the official road at the foot of the mountain.
From the dozens of green and white guano on the Mediterranean Sea above the man's head, it can be seen that the man has been doing this for a long time.
Suddenly, the man's body shook, and the hand holding the clairvoyant trembled slightly.
Immediately, the thin man jumped down from the tree like a monkey and ran wildly towards the depths of the dense forest.
A quarter of an hour later,
A thin man with pigtails ran up to a strong man in silver armor, knelt down on one knee and said respectfully:
"Your Royal Highness, the Tang Army is back."
The strong man in silver armor, whose surname was Liang Meng, was the eldest son of King Liang Qucong of Tuyuhun. He was now twenty-eight years old.
Liang Meng, as his name suggests, is not only tall and mighty, but he is also gifted with the power to tear apart tigers and leopards.
He joined the army at the age of fourteen, was promoted to be the centurion of Tuyuhun at the age of sixteen, the captain of thousands at the age of twenty-two, and the captain of ten thousand at the age of twenty-six to command an army.
Liang Meng has always been the first warrior and the youngest general in Tuyuhun.
Until this year, Lou Ming, the young leader of the Lou clan, was born.
At only twenty-five years old, he became the youngest general in the history of Tuyuhun.
At first, Liang Meng had no hostility toward Lou Ming, but rather felt sympathy for each other.
Until later, there was news in the royal city that the Khan was going to marry his favorite Princess Xue to Lou Ming.
Liang Meng couldn't sit still for a while.
Since the beginning of the year, Liang Meng had seen Princess Xue's charming dance at the Khan's banquet.
In Liang Meng's eyes, he could no longer tolerate other women.
Princess Snow has become the woman Liang Meng wants to have all the time.
Later, he proposed marriage to Khan many times, but he was politely rejected by Fuyun Khan.
Therefore, after Liang Meng learned that Princess Xue was going to marry Lou Ming, he immediately hated Lou Ming.
I have always wanted to compete with Lou Ming.
It's just that Liang Meng never found a suitable opportunity. Until Tuyuhun started the Battle of Lanzhou, Liang Meng went directly to Lou Ming.
The two agreed to decide the outcome based on their military exploits.
Whoever wins will get the Snow Princess.
In the battle a few days ago, Lou Ming and Liang Meng were sent to Xinglong Mountain and Lujiagou respectively by Liang Qucong.
One goes around the back, and the other goes hard from the front.
As a result, Lou Ming's entire army was wiped out, and more than half of his army was killed or wounded.
The only thing he was better than Lou Ming was that he survived.
Judging from the final results of the two, he was a miserable victory.
But Liang Meng couldn't accept this result.
If he just goes back like this, how can he have the nerve to marry the goddess in his heart - Princess Snow.
Therefore, after Liang Meng learned that his father and the Tang people had conspired to kill the Qin Ming Dynasty who had defeated Lou Ming completely.
Liang Meng asked for this task from his father without hesitation.
[As long as I kill the man named Qin, I can marry the goddess openly. ]
Thinking of this, the corners of the silver-armored man's mouth raised slightly.
Immediately, he lowered his head, looked at the Mediterranean Sea of the thin man, and asked in a cold voice:
"Is the person in the portrait among them?"
The thin man lowered his head and replied:
"My subordinates have not seen the man in the portrait, but there is a black four-wheeled carriage in the Tang army, which is exactly the same as the carriage of the man in the portrait."
The strong man in silver armor nodded and asked again:
"Have their numbers increased?"
The thin little man shook his head and said:
"It's almost the same as when we went there, with only a thousand cavalry."
The strong man in silver armor nodded, and then ordered to the bodyguard beside him:
"Notify, the whole army mounts their horses, and surrounds and kills the people in the carriage with all their strength."
"Yes, Your Highness."
As the military order was passed down, people kept standing up in the mountains and forests, and after a while, they were densely packed with people.
From a distance, you can see the dark Mediterranean Sea, with at least 4,000 men and horses.
After a while, on the official road, a cavalryman wearing silver armor galloped to the center of the Tang army.
While urging his horse to dismount, he shouted to Mu Si who was driving the cart:
"Fourth brother, stop the car quickly. There is an ambush in the forest ten miles ahead."
Mu Si was shocked when he heard this, stretched out his hand to grab the reins, looked at Mu Ba who was coming, and said eagerly:
"Have you seen how many people are there on the other side?"
Muba replied anxiously:
"There are a lot of people, at least three thousand, all barbarian cavalry."
"Fourth brother, what should we do now?"
After Mu Si heard Mu Ba's report, his brows immediately furrowed.
Because Muba's shout just now was too loud, it also alerted the surrounding cavalry.
After hearing Muba's words, a cavalryman trembled and immediately ran towards the front of the team.
Soon, Pei Song, who was wearing heavy armor, heard about this from the soldiers.
Pei Song raised his eyebrows and cursed in a low voice:
"Damn it!"
Now that the situation was urgent, he didn't bother to hold the scouts in the army accountable.
"Stop, the entire army is on alert."
After saying these words, Pei Song kicked the horse's belly hard and galloped towards the carriage in the center of the team.
At this time, the twenty members of the wooden team sent by Qin Ming to protect Daozhang Sun had all gathered in front of the carriage.
Except for Mu Si, everyone had put on their masks and placed their right hands on the hilts of their knives, looking around warily.
The members of the Muzi team looked at Musi with firm eyes, waiting for his orders.
Mu Si stood on the carriage.
Through clairvoyance, he saw a large number of flying birds in the distant mountains and forests.
Mu Si put down the clairvoyance in his hand and said decisively:
"Xiaoba."
Xiaoba saluted with a military salute and said loudly:
"arrive."
Mu Si said seriously:
"You take Xiaoliu and Xiaoshiba, and now return to Yuzhong immediately and report what happened here to the young master. Later, I and others will escort Dean Sun back to the city."
"Let the young master prepare in advance."
"yes."
After saying that, Xiao Ba turned his horse's head and waved to Mu Shiliu and Mu Shiba. Immediately, without even looking at Pei Song, who was coming, the three of them waved their whips vigorously and rode off in the direction of Yuzhong City.
Xiao Si on the carriage also saw Pei Song at this time.
He cupped his hands towards Pei Song and said:
"General Pei, the task my young master has given me and others is to ensure the safety of Dean Sun."
"So, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay and fight alongside you. Please forgive me."
Pei Song immediately understood what Mu Si meant.
In fact, it goes without saying that Mu Si came here just to let Mu Si take Dean Sun and leave first.
After all, the specific situation of the enemy is currently unknown. It would be too difficult to protect a carriage on the plains, and it would also affect the performance of the cavalry.
Therefore, after Pei Song heard Mu Si's words, instead of being angry, he showed a look of appreciation.
Pei Song nodded towards Mu Si, and then said to a general named Li next to him:
"Li Jun, you take the general manager's bodyguard group to escort Sun Zhenren back."
"Captain Ben, stay here and block them."
"Here."
Lieutenant Li Jun, the commander of the Guards, cupped his hands and said to Pei Song.
Mu Si glanced at Pei Song gratefully, cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you, Captain Pei, for your understanding."
After saying that, Mu Si opened the car door and got in.
