Jiang Shuo asked doubtfully: "Pursuing troops? If Sister Zhuer wanted to help the Yan army to stop us, she would have just not helped us in the first place. She wanted to escape first and then capture her. How does this make sense?"
Dugu Wen was still trying to support himself, and he sneered: "Shuo'er, you are still too young to understand the sinister nature of people's hearts. Khitan Xiaonizi's target is not just you and me, but what she values is led by Guo Jun. This is Shuofang’s army of two thousand men.”
Li Zhuer said coldly: "Senior is right, Jiang is still hotter with age."
The more Jiang Shuo listened, the more confused he became. Looking back at Dugu Wen, Dugu Wen explained: "What Xiaonizi used was Xunyu's strategy of 'driving away tigers and swallowing wolves' of the Three Kingdoms. Of course she didn't want Yan's army to eat up Shuofang's army in one go." , but I don’t want Ambassador Guo to escape Fan Yang.”
Jiang Shuo was still confused and asked, "But what good will this do to Sister Zhuer?"
Li Zhuer sighed and said: "I have already said that everything I did was for the survival of the Khitan people. Anlu Mountain led the Jiedu envoys of two towns. This time he went to the Khitan army, but he only brought the Pinglu army. , the main force of the Yan Army's Yuyang Iron Cavalry was left in Fan Yang, and those who ambushed you in Conghuo City were part of the Yuyang Iron Cavalry."
Jiang Shuo said: "Anlushan actually left so many troops to deal with our Caogang?"
Dugu asked: "Shuo'er, you think too highly of yourself. I think this Yuyang cavalry is waiting for the two thousand men of Shuo Fang's army."
Li Zhuer said: "The old man is right. There are more than 20,000 cavalrymen in Yuyang. The ones outside Longhuo City are actually just a partial army. Most of the cavalry are in Yuyang. They are just waiting for the two thousand soldiers led by Guo Jun. When the people arrived at Xiongwu City on time, they surrounded them with a large army and forcibly incorporated them. Unexpectedly, Guo Junshi led his army to arrive early, circled around and then escaped. The garrison generals in Yuyang City received the news and ordered The soldiers came to pursue him, but it was too late."
Jiang Shuo came to his senses and said: "After Guo Jun envoy broke through Yuyang's iron cavalry under Longhuo City, he kept heading west into the Taihang Mountains. Yuyang's army could not catch up. If Shuo Fang's army fled into the area controlled by Hedong Jiedushi, Shuo Fang's army would naturally give up. This goal is to lead troops north to support Anlu Mountain. Is this true for grandpa?" When he looked back at Dugu and asked, he saw that the old man had fallen asleep on the case.
Li Zhuer said: "I have sent Dayi Lijin to join Huaixiu. They have returned to Songmo to gather their tribesmen to fight against Anlushan's army. In recent years, under the leadership of Dayi Lijin, the Khitan has kept a low profile and restored its strength. After reorganizing the soldiers and horses of the eight Khitan tribes, it is said that the Heping Lu army can still fight, but if the Yuyang cavalry goes north, there is no chance of winning. Therefore, I will try to keep the Yuyang cavalry in Youzhou. And keep Yuyang. The best bait for our army is the current Shuofang Cavalry Army."
Jiang Shuo looked at the people stumbling around in the room and said, "But how did the Yuyang Army know that we are in Jiulong Town in this ravine? If they didn't find us, wouldn't your plan have failed?"
Li Zhuer said: "Since I designed to trap you here, I have naturally notified the Yan army and Shuofang army's current location."
Jiang Shuo said: "You are a Khitan, wouldn't the Yan army doubt you?"
Li Zhuer smiled miserably and said: "Looking back, you are smart by nature, but too kind. I have always played the role of a Khitan traitor in the Yan army. Both An Lushan and An Qingxu regard me as their confidant. , It was Yan Zhuang's plan to follow you north. In fact, when you entered Conghuo City that day, Yin Ziqi was able to prepare early because I reported the news in advance. How could they not believe me when I reported the whereabouts of Shuofang's army now? "
Jiang Shuo said sadly: "That's it...it turns out that my sister had planned all this."
Li Zhuer said: "The Yan army's cavalry will be divided into two groups tonight. They will follow your path all the way to the mouth of Baili Canyon. The other group will go out of Juyongguan to rush to block Zhulu's mountain pass before you do. It's just that The mountain road is dangerous and narrow, and I have calculated that the Yan army will not dare to enter the valley overnight. They will have to wait until dawn to slowly enter the valley. It will be tomorrow night when the two armies meet, and you will all be awake by then."
Jiang Shuo said: "That's right... My sister hopes that the two armies will fight as hard as possible so as to delay the Yan army as long as possible. Naturally, we cannot let Guo Jun's death be unknown."
Li Zhuer said: "That's it for now, I'm going to go..." She turned to leave, but turned back and said: "In retrospect, it is not difficult to escape from the valley with your skills, so don't be stubborn. Everyone has been rescued. Yan Jun’s target in this battle is not you. You can take your people and run away tomorrow..."
She knew that with Jiang Shuo's martial arts at this time, no matter how many troops there were, how could he be trapped? As long as he ignored Shuo Fang's army, Dugu's grandson and Cao Gang were not weak in martial arts, and they could easily escape over the mountains. After all, he was afraid that since he wanted to save everyone, he would stay in Kowloon Town to face the enemy with Guo Ziyi, and it would be inevitable that both of them would be destroyed by that time, so he advised Jiang Shuo to run for his own life tomorrow.
Jiang Shuo said: "Sister Zhu'er, thank you for thinking about me. It's just that Commander Guo fell into such a desperate situation to save me. If I abandon him, how dare I call him chivalrous again? If a man dies, he will die. But I can never abandon Guo Jun and live alone."
Li Zhuer thought that was indeed the case. She sighed softly and said, "In the future, please take care of yourself...I'm going..."
Jiang Shuo asked: "Sister Zhu'er, where are you going?"
Li Zhuer turned her back to him and said cruelly: "First go to Anqingxu Camp to report the accurate deployment of Shuofang's army in Jiulong Town. When his army starts, I will go north to Songmo and try to destroy Anlu Mountain's attack on Khitan." The tribe’s encirclement and suppression.”
Jiang Shuo said: "I'll go with you..."
Li Zhuer looked back at him in disbelief, turned around and jumped up, about to fly out of the hospital, but unexpectedly Jiang Shuo followed up and grabbed her wrist.
Li Zhuer was very surprised this time. Jiang Shuo jumped out very fast, and the hand holding her wrist was very strong. He didn't look like he was poisoned by a fairy. She turned around in surprise: "Looking back, you weren't poisoned? Do you have an antidote?"
Jiang Shuo nodded and said: "I don't have an antidote, and I don't know why I wasn't poisoned. Maybe it's because Senior Kong Kong'er taught me to practice Yu Jue's Heart Technique diligently. Since Yu Jue's magical power can detoxify the poison of bright salt, it can also detoxify it." This is the poison of the fairy."
It turns out that although the preparation methods of henbane and bright salt are different, the main ingredients are hyoscyamus. The reason why hyoscyamus can make people paralyzed or lose their internal strength is because it enters the human body and travels along the meridians. Its toxicity can block the acupoints in the meridians. Therefore. It's just that the toxicity of bright salt is only limited to the masters of the martial arts. The better the martial arts, the faster the Qi moves through the meridians, so the masters can move faster than ordinary people. Although the poison of henbane is weak, it circulates along the meridians, so those affected by it will faint regardless of their level of kung fu. Those with high kung fu can still use their kung fu to resist, so they fall slower than ordinary people.
Since that day, Jiang Shuo has had time to wake up. He has been practicing the Jade Jue Secret Technique for the past few days. The true energy in his body has spread to all four limbs and bones. . Being poisoned by the bright salt was a blessing in disguise for Jiang Shuo. The medicine suppressed the originally strong Yin and Yang Qi in his body. In the past ten days, Yujue's magical power improved by leaps and bounds. Unknowingly, he had broken through several layers of barriers and boarded the The realm of the eighth heaven. If calculated based on Jiang Shuo's previous training speed, it would have taken at least twenty or thirty years of hard work to reach the eighth level. No wonder Li Hanguang praised him for his profound blessings. He had a lucky destiny along the way, and in addition to the adventures that turned disaster into good luck, It is difficult to give any other explanation for God's favor.
Only then did Jiang Shuo realize that he was now invulnerable to all poisons. He held Li Zhuer's wrist tighter and looked at her firmly. Li Zhuer sighed and turned around, "Looking back, what do you want?" She knew that she was no match for Jiang Shuo, and now that he had caught her, it was difficult to escape.
Jiang Shuo said: "Sister, I will go with you to look for An Qingxu. There must be a way to protect Shuofang's army and prevent Yuyang's cavalry from going north."
Li Zhuer smiled bitterly and said, "Can you tell me what's the best way to achieve both ends?"
Jiang Shuo just didn't think bad things about people, but he was not a stupid person. He blurted out: "Only the Yan army can plan to capture this and that, why can't we do it according to the law? We went to Zhulu and captured the leader An Qingxu. .”
Li Zhuer said: "What can we do if we kidnap him?"
Jiang Shuo said anxiously: "Let him lead the army east, south or west, but he is not allowed to go north."
Li Zhuer said: "I still want to pretend to be a traitor in front of Thief An. I can't show up to catch him..."
Jiang Shuo said, "Ah, sister, I will take care of all the catching. You just want to take him wherever you want."
Li Zhuer did not refute Jiang Shuo, but just looked at him quietly. Jiang Shuo asked, "Sister Zhuer, am I wrong?"
Li Zhuer was unfortunate in her childhood. She has always been thoughtful and doesn't trust anyone. She has always been thinking about how to trick others into falling into the trap for her to take advantage of. Except for Kong Kong'er, she has never asked for help, and no one has offered to help. she. She pondered for a long time and said: "Looking back, are you really willing to help me?"
Jiang Shuo said: "Not to mention helping you, I am helping Shuo Fang's army. Even if it is just for you, I am willing to help."
Li Zhuer was moved in her heart, but there was no emotion on her face, and she said: "Actually, there is no need to coerce. All we need to do is capture An Qingxu. The army will be leaderless, and it is also a rat-killing weapon. Naturally, it will no longer pose a threat."
Jiang Shuo said: "Then we will kidnap him now."
Li Zhuer hesitated: "Looking back, don't you blame me for what I did before? Are you still willing to help me like this?"
Jiang Shuo said: "Sister... I know you have your own difficulties, so how can I blame you? But if you had discussed it with me earlier, why would you have bothered so much?"
Li Zhuer said: "It's just that An Qingxu is protected by experts, so I'm afraid you won't be able to kidnap him easily."
Jiang Shuo said: "How do you know if you don't try? Rather than let two thousand people fall to death, I would rather take risks alone. Even if I die, I will not regret it."
Li Zhuer finally made up her mind and nodded: "Okay! Let's give it a try. Looking back, if you die, I will never live alone..."
