After the prince enters the play

Chapter 141 Chapter 141: Deliberately lure her into a trap

Mu Xing's eyes were darkened, and he didn't know what was going on, but he saw people leaving, of course he followed, but he was naturally keen and had a strong intuition, so he always felt that it would not be a good thing.

Su Xinyi pulled out the horse, and loaded the wooden bucket and pole on the horse's back. It was the same as usual when he went out of the city to farm. The soldiers guarding the city gate didn't notice anything unusual. It seems that the battle in Zhangping Mansion was urgent, and the soldiers guarding the city looked serious. Unlike usual, they were still in the mood to chat and joke with Su Xinyi, but today everyone has a serious look on their faces.

Tian Zao was still calm, but Bao Datong's legs were a little weak. Thanks to Tian Zao watching him from the sidelines, he did not make a mistake. When the group of them left the city and pretended to be on the ground, he sat on the ground with his face on his face. All a little whitish.

Seeing him like this, Su Xinyi thought for a while and said, "Datong, why don't you stay, and you can give me a message when my brother comes back."

Bao Datong immediately jumped up from the ground, and stammered: "Miss Liu, I'm not afraid, I'm really not afraid, this is the first time I've done this kind of thing, and I feel guilty."

Cao Qing laughed at the side, stared at Bao Datong and said, "There's nothing shameful about being afraid. You don't have to go if you don't want to. Anyway, you have to leave a gatekeeper at home."

Bao Datong shook his head straight, his face was a little pale, and he looked at Miss Six with his eyes. Although he was a little weak, he was firm, "Miss Six, I want to go."

He will never forget what he came here for, how can he be afraid, he is not afraid, but he has no idea what he has never done.

Su Xinyi swallowed back the dissuading words, bowed his head and smiled, "Okay, let's go, we don't know where we are going along the way, and we have to ask someone to come back to deliver the letter."

Bao Datong heaved a sigh of relief and didn't dare to sit down anymore. He immediately stood up to organize his luggage and unloaded the wooden barrel from the horse's back.

This land is not far from the city gate, they can't run away in broad daylight, and the crops in this field can't be thrown away, so they pick up the wooden bucket and start watering the field, they don't know when they will come back from this walk, and water the ground thoroughly Yes, it can last longer.

When the sky gradually darkened and the sight of the soldiers on the city gate was blocked, they began to go out quietly. Along the way, they encountered many people returning to the city. Then he got on his horse and galloped away.

At this time, Pang Lan rushed to Yulin Guard with the handwritten letter of His Highness the Crown Prince, took out his token and entered the city without entering the guard post, and went straight to Su Xinyi's small courtyard.

Pang Lan knocked on the door a few times but no one answered, a bad premonition rose in his heart, he didn't care about being rude, he gritted his teeth and climbed over the wall to enter the courtyard, only to see the doors and windows in the courtyard were closed tightly and there was no light. With a tight heart, he immediately stepped forward and pushed open the door of the main room. The inner room was quiet, and there was a letter on the square table in the middle.

Pang Lan's heart trembled, and he quickly stepped forward to pick up the envelope, only to see that there were big characters written on it, personally signed by his elder brother Su Yi.

Pang Lan immediately stuffed the letter into her bosom, turned around and walked out. While walking, she ordered the guards, "Go and find out where Miss Six is ​​today. You must find out clearly."

The personal guards led away, and Pang Lan went directly to see Xie Guan. Of course, he didn't ask Su Xinyi's whereabouts directly, but asked a few words around the corner, but Xie Guan was busy mobilizing troops, even if he knew Su Xinyi Whoever it is, doesn't care about what a poster is doing at this time, and Su Xinyi has always kept his own place when he arrived in Yulinwei, so naturally he won't stare at her.

But Xie Guanneng is not a stupid person who is safe and secure in the position of the commander of Yulin Guard. With a dark face, he ordered the guards, "Go and find out where Miss Su Liu is, and report back as soon as you find someone."

Pang Lan could naturally see Xie Guan's perfunctory, this kind of perfunctory was not malicious, but it did prove that Xie Guan didn't attach much importance to Su Xinyi's stay in Yulinwei.

Pang Lan's eyebrows were sharp, her face was as deep as water, she couldn't delay after thinking about it, and immediately left the city and went straight to Zhangping Mansion.

At this time, Su Xinyi and the others had already camped by the river, and the moon was in the sky, so it was impossible to bury a pot for cooking. Zhanqiao and the others came back after hunting a few rabbits. The body was slowly roasted on the fire, and the fragrance soon spread, and the index finger of the hooked person moved wildly.

Mu Xing stared at the rabbit meat that had already been covered with a golden coat, swallowed his saliva, looked at Su Xinyi and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a skill."

Su Xinyi chuckled, this is her ability to survive. Sometimes she goes hunting in the mountains for a few days, and she has to support herself, "Of course."

Mu Xing gave a 'tsk' sound, the sixth girl didn't know what modesty was.

Three rabbits, several people share the food, barely able to eat enough, the bonfire at night can not be extinguished, the grassland is full of dangers, wolves come and go at any time, and lighting the bonfire can make them afraid.

The summer in the grassland is much cooler than that in Southern Qi. In the middle of the night, Su Xinyi felt a bit chilly. No wonder this year the Tatars and Wala wanted to mobilize troops to attack the Grass Valley in advance. The weather is really not very good.

Su Xinyi didn't feel sleepy anymore, so he simply sat up, looked up at the stars to identify the direction, and took out the map to check the route with the help of the weak bonfire.

"Girl." Cao Qing came over and sat down, "Why aren't you sleeping?"

Su Xinyi glanced sideways at Cao Qing, "I can't sleep, what are you doing?"

Cao Qing said: "This subordinate can't sleep anymore, it's a bit cold in the middle of the night, it seems we need to find a place to buy some leather clothes."

Su Xinyi nodded, "Change your clothes first, our outfit is too eye-catching."

Cao Qing nodded, "It's not easy to do, the market on the grassland is hard to find."

Herdsmen live by water, and the market changes anytime and anywhere.

"Just try your luck." Su Xinyi had no other choice. Silver was not easy to use on the grasslands. Fortunately, she had already planned to bring some tea bricks. This thing was more valuable than gold on the grasslands.

Cao Qing picked up some dead branches, heated up the bonfire, took out miscellaneous grain pancakes, put them on the branches and roasted them, and handed them to the girl when they were soft.

Su Xinyi took one and ate it slowly. The aroma of the food woke up the others quickly, and everyone gathered around to have breakfast.

The water in the water bag also had to be saved, as they had no replenishment until they found the water source.

After eating, everyone set off immediately. Obviously, luck was not very good. Not to mention that there was no one in the market all day, Mu Xing and Tian Zao went to find the water source, Zhan Qiao took Bao Datong to find food, Su Xinyi sat Looking at the map by the campfire, Cao Qing was in charge of guarding and cleaning up the sleeping place.

Su Xinyi knew it was difficult. His father's handbook once said that it is common to walk on the grassland for several days without seeing anyone.

She could bear it.

The dinner was very simple, they didn't even catch a pheasant, so a few people could only eat pancakes soaked in water.

Zhanqiao watched the sixth girl eating without changing his face, but he felt uncomfortable, and thought for a while and said: "We ran a long way and only found one water source, but it was almost dry. They are all yellow, if it was in previous years, how could they not even catch a pheasant and a hare.”

"If it wasn't like this, how could these people attack Zhangping Mansion and Yulin Guard in advance." Cao Qing frowned, the more this was the more disturbing.

Su Xinyi used the stars at night to identify the direction, thought for a while and said, "I've been traveling all night without stopping."

None of them objected to pack up their things and continue walking under the moonlight. Su Xinyi had never been on the grassland before. There were stars to guide the direction, and they went round and round along the way. The cold wind in the middle of the night forced them to sweat Come.

When the sky was about to light up, they stopped to rest. Su Xinyi took Mu Xing to find something to eat this time. The pancakes they brought were running out, so they had to eat more.

Zhanqiao took Tian Zao to go early to check if anyone nearby could change something, Cao Qing took Bao Datong to stay behind.

The sun was slowly rising, and no one came back. Bao Datong couldn't sit still, he couldn't hide the anxiety on his face, he looked at Cao Qing and said, "Brother Cao, why don't I go and see?"

It's exhausting to wait.

Cao Qing shook his head, "What if someone comes back after we left? We can't see what happened to us."

Bao Datong opened his mouth and paused before uttering, "Shall we leave a message on the ground?"

Cao Qing raised his head and glanced at Bao Dayong unexpectedly. He didn't expect that this kid had a long-term mind after he came out for a few days. He continued to shake his head and said, "The grassland is sparsely populated. It's normal to take a little longer. You have to be patient and wait a little longer. In an hour, if we still don't see anyone by then, let's look for it again."

Bao Datong heaved a sigh of relief, but couldn't sit still, so he kept circling around, making Cao Qing's eyes dizzy.

It didn't take long before he heard the sound of horseshoes, Bao Datong's eyes lit up, he turned his head and looked over, and he saw Zhanqiao and Tian Zao after a while, and he hurriedly raised his hand to greet them.

When the two walked in, they saw that everyone was carrying a big burden on their horses. Bao Datong hurriedly stepped forward to help unload it, and asked in surprise, "What is this?"

"Clothes." Tian Zao, who always had a cold face, smiled happily this time.

Zhanqiao walked up to Cao Qing and asked, "Miss Six hasn't come back yet?"

Cao Qing nodded, "What did you get back?"

"Clothes." Zhanqiao said with a smile, "I'm lucky. I met a small group of migrating herdsmen and exchanged them with them. Don't say that using tea bricks is indeed better than gold and silver. A small piece of tea bricks can exchange so many clothes."

Cao Qing was also very pleasantly surprised, "You're lucky, those herdsmen aren't hostile to you?"

"Hey, the people fighting above still have to live. Otherwise, if the border market is banned, why are there so many people sneaking around to trade things?" Zhanqiao didn't take it seriously, "And the people we met have also been carefully observed. Most of them are old and young, women and children, and the strong men in the family may also be conscripted, and survival is more important than anything else."

This is true.

While talking, Su Xinyi and Mu Xing also came back. They brought back two hares and a lamb this time, which shocked everyone.

Mu Xing looked at everyone's happy expressions, and then at the calm-faced Sixth Girl, his complexion was subtle.

Everyone chatted and asked, on the other side Tian Zao led Bao Datong to kill rabbits and sheep neatly.

Su Xinyi met the curious eyes of the previous few people and said, "It's good luck. There is a bumpkin twenty miles away. There is a small forest behind the bumpkin. The rabbit was caught there. As for the lamb, I picked it up halfway."

Picked up?

The crowd was stunned.

The corner of Mu Xing's mouth twitched, he picked up whatever he picked up, he didn't see anything!
A few people looked at Mu Xing's face and vaguely guessed that the matter might not be simple, but Miss Six said so, so she picked it up!
The lamb is not big, but it also weighs fifty or sixty catties. It is definitely not enough to finish a meal. Everyone roasted the lamb and took it on the road to eat, and changed their clothes. This dress is very similar to that of a herdsman, and the safety is high. a lot of.

"We talked to them when we were changing clothes before, and then we realized that we were going astray. The army that attacked Zhangping Mansion used to take the east road, but now we are taking the west road, so we have to turn around and go around."

Su Xinyi listened to Zhanqiao's words and was silent for a while, then took out the picture he had drawn and proofread it carefully, and then said: "Unless the roads on the grassland have been changed to avenues these years, otherwise we are not going wrong."

Zhanqiao was taken aback, looked down at the route on the map and frowned tightly, "What's going on?"

Tian Zao raised her head and glanced at Miss Six, pondering, "Could it be that those people lied to us? After all, we buy clothes from them, and they may have doubts in their hearts and deliberately point the wrong way."

Su Xinyi looked uncertain, thought for a while and said: "Let's go immediately, there is a forest around Xiaotu Mountain ahead, go there and hide for a while."

"Yes, if those people are really suspicious, they will definitely report to the higher authorities, maybe someone will come after us." Zhanqiao's expression also became serious.

Su Xinyi nodded slightly, "It would be great if someone came."

Crowd: ...

Is this okay?
Su Xinyi smiled and said nothing, someone really came to chase them, isn't this a free guide?Follow these people to find their tent.

They hid in the small forest where Su Xinyi hunted before, and there was a small hill. Although it was too short to be called a mountain, it also had a slight terrain advantage nearby.

After tying the horse deep in the woods, several people immediately divided the work, and Su Xinyi didn't have to order anything.

Zhanqiao took Tian Zao to investigate, Bao Datong fed the horses, Cao Qing and Mu Bu checked the surrounding terrain, she walked slowly to find a hidden place under the mountain bag, leaned on the tree trunk and took out a waist knife to wipe slowly.

The morning sun was a bit strong, and it was hot when it fell on people's bodies. Even if there were trees for shade, the heat was still unstoppable.

Suddenly, her ears moved, and she immediately bent down and listened on the ground. She stood up quickly, sheathed her knife, and strode to Zhanqiao's side to gaze intently.

"Girl, is there something wrong?" Zhanqiao knew that the girl had some skills and immediately asked.

Su Xinyi gazed into the distance, paused for a while before saying, "Someone is coming from the north."

Zhanqiao was taken aback, and before he could ask another question, he heard Tian Zao say: "Girl, you are really amazing, there is a cavalry team!"

Zhanqiao immediately looked back, and saw that there was indeed a small black spot at the end of the sky moving like a gust of wind, and soon he could see that it was indeed a cavalry, not many people, only a dozen people, but the armor was bright, this is not true Like wandering around.

Su Xinyi waved his hand immediately, "Get down!"

The three of them immediately retreated cautiously from the soil bag into the woods to join several other people, and after knowing the situation, they all looked at Su Xinyi.

Su Xinyi said: "Wait for them to turn back from here and we'll go far away."

"What if it is discovered?" Cao Qing asked, "There is no shelter on the grassland, once you get out of the forest, it will be easy to be discovered."

Su Xinyi said lightly: "It doesn't matter, we are farther away, I will listen to the sound of the earthquake, and there are always traces of horse racing on the grassland, and they will not be discovered."

Everyone was taken aback, no wonder the girl knew there was a cavalry team before.

Everyone looked happy, and immediately began to pack things, took out the weapons to check, fed the horses, and waited for the cavalry to turn back.

Judging from the direction they were chasing, it was exactly where they had walked before, and it seemed that they were indeed being watched while shopping.

The sky was getting dark, and before these people turned back, Bao Datong couldn't bear it anymore, and asked in a low voice, "Are they going from another direction?"

"It may not be impossible." Mu Xing nodded, as if they were killers and would never turn back.

Su Xinyi couldn't guarantee it either, so he thought for a while and said, "Wait another hour, if we still can't wait, we'll go by ourselves."

If you continue to wait, you may not be able to reach people, and you may be in danger.

An hour is long and long, and short is also very short.

No one was waiting.

Everyone is a little disappointed, such a good opportunity... hey.

Su Xinyi looked normal, and glanced at everyone, "Let's go."

Everyone got on their horses, thinking they would continue to go north, but they didn't know that the sixth girl got on the horse and went straight to the southwest. Everyone was slightly taken aback, but they immediately chased after her.

Su Xinyi stopped several times along the way and got off the horse to check. Everyone saw that she was flipping through the grass, but Mu Xing was thoughtful, and quickly got off the horse with Su Xinyi to check.

Zhanqiao and Cao Qing also understood, but they don't know this, so they can only follow along.

"The horseshoe prints have indeed decreased. It seems that the girl was right to suspect that they would diverge." Mu Xing said after another investigation, "I will turn back and catch up from another road."

Su Xinyi shook his head, "No, we can't be separated when we are small."

"There are only a dozen or so people who are divided into troops. It seems that they should send letters separately. Aren't they a group?" Zhanqiao asked speculatively.

Cao Qing stretched out his hand to beat him, and turned his head to look in the direction of Zhangping Mansion.

Zhanqiao immediately understood that this was to deliver a letter to those who attacked Zhangping Mansion.

Tsk, I really value them!
Several people looked at Su Xinyi and waited for her to make a decision.

Su Xinyi was silent for a while, then looked at everyone, "It is possible to deliver a letter to the enemy army attacking Zhangping Mansion, but there is another possibility. These people deliberately divide their forces to lure us into being fooled."

It is indeed possible.

"Then what should we do?" There were only a few of them, and even if they knew the enemy's strategy, they couldn't come over fully.

"The people on the grassland are so vigilant. It seems that the situation is really bad. We can no longer be found by people and walk around populated places." Su Xinyi thought about it, and they had limited food surplus, so they couldn't stay in the grassland for a long time. Circumvention.

Everyone had no objection, Su Xinyi took out the map and pointed in one direction, "Go here."

The night wind was blowing, and the coolness on his face was even stronger. Su Xinyi wrapped his outer clothes tightly and drove the horse forward.Before dawn, they came across a water hole. Everyone stopped to replenish the water source and ate something to fill their stomachs. They didn't dare to open the fire. They swallowed the cold water on the barbecue. It really didn't taste very good.

Comparing with the route on the map, several people travel day and night, all of them are like savages, they dare not build a bonfire all night, and they have to guard against wolves. In a few days, several people lost weight.

Su Xinyi wrapped the horse's hooves with a cloth, and there would be no movement at night when she ran. She waved her hand to stop the horse. They were used to reining in the horse immediately these days.

Su Xinyi's eyes were fixed on the front, and the silence in the night was particularly exciting. The few people soon heard the faint sound of horseshoes, and after a while, the sound of horseshoes became more and more clear.

Soon, the light of torches appeared in the night, and the fleet of swimming dragons appeared in everyone's sight.

Fortunately, that team was far away from them, so as long as they didn't move, they wouldn't be noticed.

"Is this a cavalry team transporting food?" Zhan Qiao lowered his voice a little excitedly.

"It seems to be." Cao Qing couldn't see clearly, the distance was a little far away, and he could only take a rough look from the corner of the torch, but the long carriage behind the convoy was not fake.

What is it that such a long team does not transport food?
The eyes of several people immediately lit up, staring at the distance like wolves.

These days are really too hard, they thought that they could not find the enemy's big tent on the grassland of Nuo Da, let alone the granary.

Who would have thought that they would just meet him like this, hey, this luck... so many days of hard work are worth it!

I also thought of the sixth girl who was constantly adjusting the route these days, it is impossible for the sixth girl to be counted, right?

The corner of Su Xinyi's mouth curled up slightly, and he said to the people around him, "It should be the Tatar convoy delivering food. Let's follow from a distance and play by ear."

It's easy to talk about at night, but in the daytime they dare not follow too closely, they can only follow from a distance, and the food delivery convoy travels all night, with very little rest time, looking like they are in a hurry.

Su Xinyi thought that the Tatar frontline army attacking Zhangping Mansion was short of food and grass, but the enemy's convoy was long, and they had no chance to take it all at once. If they acted impulsively, they might be made dumplings by the enemy.

Su Xinyi has always been patient, so he took out a map to investigate carefully, and drew a circle along their route for the past few days with his fingers, and suddenly found that he followed the enemy unknowingly and was approaching Zhangping Mansion!

Su Xinyi knew that he couldn't wait any longer, and when they arrived outside Zhangping Mansion to join the army, they would have no chance!

Su Xinyi's eyes landed on Guanshan Pass, less than fifty miles away from Zhangping Mansion, where her fingertips landed.

Zhanqiao said, "Miss, are you going to do something at Guanshan Pass?"

"Last chance." Su Xinyi said, "But we need someone to cooperate."

Cao Qing and Zhan Qiao looked at each other, and then they both looked at Bao Datong.

Bao Datong was so frightened that he trembled. Look... what is he doing?
Tian Zao also understood, looked at Bao Datong and said, "Do you dare to bypass the enemy army and return to the city to deliver the letter?"

Bao Datong didn't dare, but he swallowed his saliva and nodded when he met the fiery eyes of several people.

Su Xinyi looked at Bao Datong, "Without a pen and paper, you can only bring a message. His Royal Highness is in Zhangping Mansion. You can go directly to Mr. Yang Jinyang next to His Highness. If you can't see anyone, you can go to my elder brother... "

Bao Datong took note of the girl's words carefully, turned on his horse in the night and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.
