When Kou Yingshun regained his breath, Shiba had already repelled the approaching soldiers, while Qi Sheng was still kneeling in front of Kou Ying.

"I fell into their ambush." ​​Qi Sheng briefly explained how he was lured into the enemy by the northwest cavalry. "Their shields... emit a strange light, and there are ambushes everywhere. We are desperate to die." Fighting hard, killing many enemies, when we retreated, we were intercepted by... and the northwest cavalry...!"

At this time, Kou Ying also roughly understood that Qi Sheng's cavalry also suffered a great loss from the mirror.

Although he really wanted to kill Qi Sheng with a single knife, he also knew that even if he killed Qi Sheng, it would be useless, and the five thousand soldiers and horses would not come back intact. It can be regarded as one of his confidantes, so naturally he cannot be easily killed.

"Second brother, now is not the time to blame myna." Eighteen said softly: "Look, these soldiers and horses who have retreated have no fighting spirit at all, and they want to return to Liaodong. If... If If they can't solve the problem of going up the mountain as soon as possible, they will definitely make trouble. The food is exhausted, and when they recover tomorrow, they will probably...!"

Kou Ying didn't need Eighteen's reminder, but she also knew that the situation was critical.

"Second brother, could it be...he won't let us go up the mountain?" Qi Sheng became wiser at this time.

Kou Ying ignored him, but Eighteen gave a rough overview of the situation. Qi Sheng waited, and immediately said angrily: "Well, he is not useless, how dare...!" After looking at it, he lowered his voice and said, "Second Brother, if you go to see him alone, he will definitely kill you. If... If you apologize in public, I'm afraid...!"

He didn't go on, but both Kou Ying and Shiba understood the meaning.

If he really apologized to the soldiers according to Mo Wuyi's words, Kou Ying did not die at the hands of the Northwest people, but he might die at the hands of the Liaodong people.

Countless Liaodong cavalry died on the battlefield. If these routs listened to Kou Ying's self-proclaimed self-interest and put tens of thousands of soldiers' lives at risk, the current mood of these Liaodong soldiers might tear Kou Ying to pieces.

After a period of silence, Kou Ying finally sighed softly: "Forget it, Mo Wuyi has to deal with me alone. If I use my life alone, everyone can return to Liaodong safely. It is worth giving him my life." It's gone." He said lightly, "You two stay here, and the people from the northwest of the locality will call, and I will go up the mountain on my stomach, so I will go see Mo Wuzhi."

"Second brother, you... you going like this, isn't it a waste of death?" Qi Sheng said anxiously: "He will definitely not let you go."

Kou Ying frowned and said: "So what if I don't go? I can't just watch everyone wait to die? The food is gone, the escape route is blocked, and the people from the Northwest will kill them at any time. If they can't cross the mountain, they will be trapped here. Even if they don't call, I'm afraid everyone will starve to death."

Qi Sheng couldn't help but said: "Mo Wuyi is cruel and ruthless. Since he treats us like this, if he really pushes us into a hurry, we... we will return to Chu Huan." It's not right, but it's hard to take it back if it's flooded, and you can't take it back if you want to.

Kou Ying looked at Shiba, but Shiba's lips moved, but Kou Ying said softly: "Shiba, we old brothers, there are only a few of us left. , Say what you have, without any worries, what do you think?"

"Second brother, in fact... In fact, what the eighth brother said is not unreasonable." Eighteen sighed: "If Dianshuai is alive, we will naturally be united, faithfully repay the Lord, and die after death, but... ...But Dian Shuai has passed away, Mo Wuyi doesn't talk about brotherhood, and wants to kill the second brother, he is cruel, so we don't need to talk about brotherhood with him. The second brother said just now that he only wants to deal with you. I don't agree, since Mo Wuyi has made the second brother of Xiang public, do you think he will let us go?"

Kou Ying shook her head and said, "That being said, it is absolutely impossible to rely on Chu Huan."

Qi Sheng and Shiba looked at each other, and then said softly: "Second brother, we can't go back to Liaodong, Dianshuai has passed away, and now we have to think about our own future. Looking at the world, where can we go? With so few people in hand, not to mention whether they will follow us, even if they really follow us, we have only a few thousand people with us, no money and no food, and... hey, what can we do. "

"Then have you ever thought about what will happen to our family members in Liaodong if we surrender to the enemy?" Kou Ying sighed softly: "Liaodong and northwest have been like fire and water after this battle. Once we surrender to Chu Huan, it will be useless He will even find a legitimate excuse to attack our family..." He frowned and said, "If we just lead the army to compete with him for the control of Liaodong, he may not dare to attack our family, but once he joins Chu Huan, There is no room for maneuver.”

Shiba softly said: "Second brother, do you think he will let our family go if he is captured without a fight? Since he had already planned to seal off the mountain and block our way back, he was ready to attack us from the very beginning. , it is bound to send someone to control our family early...!" sighed softly: "No matter what we do, he will not show mercy."

Kou Ying's expression became more serious.

"If he dares to touch our family, I will cut off his head with my own hands." Qi Sheng clenched his fists.

Shiba sneered and said: "Brother, with our current strength, even if he really does murder, how can we resist him and avenge our family?" Looking around, he lowered his voice and said, "If we arrive If you really want to take revenge, you have to use other people's power, and the starling said just now that we go to Chu Huan, so we can use Chu Huan's power to get revenge."

At this time, the sky began to darken. Someone cut wood and lit a bonfire. It was cold and hungry, and there was not even a tent. At this time, the soldiers no longer cared about the threat of the Northwesterners.

After a while of silence, Kou Ying seemed to be still a little hesitant, Shiba whispered: "Second brother, look at these people, after the First World War, they are now like loose sand, no more scruples, no food, no water, no tents , we may be able to survive tonight, but tomorrow, some of them will definitely rise up to make trouble, if one is not good, there may even be a mutiny...!"

Kou Ying was already worried about this point. Although these Liaodong cavalry were brave fighters on the battlefield, they were also rough men.

Defeat, hunger, cold, jealousy and other factors, as long as someone takes the lead, the mutiny will win, and the conflict at that time will only refer to oneself.

At present, they have just retreated to the foot of Yanshan Mountain. Most of the soldiers have not recovered from the defeat for a while, and they can't think of making trouble for the time being. But if they don't go up the mountain for a long time, then things will be troublesome.

In fact, Kou Ying has already discovered that the way some soldiers look at her has become a little strange.

Eighteen's reminder at this time made Kou Ying's heart tense. He suddenly thought that since Mo Wuyi wanted to put himself to death, at such a moment, he might not send people to sneak into the defeated army and sow people's hearts. Thinking of this , looked around, and saw piles of bonfires being lit, the soldiers were in groups of three or four, or a dozen or 20 people surrounded the city, warming up the fire while whispering, seeing it, Kou Ying always felt that Those people were talking about him in a low voice, and Kou Ying's heart tightened every time he saw someone looking at him.

If it was in the past, someone would have come over to light a bonfire for him, but at this moment, those soldiers were going their own way, and no one came to pay attention to him.

Seeing Kou Ying's serious expression, Shiba lowered his voice and said, "Second brother, I have an idea, I don't know... I don't know if I should say it or not."

"It's such a time, what should be said or not should be said." Kou Ying said in a low voice: "If you have something to say, it doesn't matter."

Shiba leaned forward, approached him, and said in a low voice: "Since the second brother is worried that we will defect to Chu Huan and give Mo Wuyi an excuse to kill our family, I have a way to not give him an excuse."

"Oh?"

"We will leave quietly tonight." Eighteen whispered: "From now on, we will wait for the second brother to disappear without seeing Mo Wuyi, nor to apologize in public, and leave without a trace of the second brother. Wuyi will eventually let these people go over the mountain, and... there is no excuse, and Mo Wuyi dare not do anything to our family members. After all, he still wants to buy people's hearts. If there is no reason to do something to our family members, he will definitely If the reputation is damaged, it will be even more difficult to establish a prestige in Liaodong.”

"Leave quietly?" Kou Ying said, "Where are you going?"

"Let's go to Chu Huan." Eighteen said softly, "We don't have to go to Chu Huan blatantly, we can go to Chu Huan secretly...!"

But Qi Sheng had already said: "We just fought to the death with the Northwest Army. Although we lost countless troops, many Northwest soldiers died at our hands... Do you think Chu Huan will take us in? "

"Brother, don't forget, Chu Huan is ambitious, but he is a man who wants to dominate the world." Eighteen smiled lightly: "Although we lost this time, it is not easy for him to conquer Liaodong."

Kou Ying understood: "You mean, Chu Huan wants to use us to attack Liaodong?"

"We also use them to get rid of Mo Wuyi and save our family." Eighteen said softly: "As long as we secretly seek refuge with Chu Huan and don't make it public, Mo Wuyi has no reason to do anything to our family. At that time, we will assist the Northwest Army to attack Liaodong , not only can we get rid of Mo Wuyi, but also save our family members. May I ask, in the Northwest Army, who is more familiar with the situation in Liaodong than us?"

"But...!" Kou Yingwei hesitated: "I always feel that... I always feel that it is wrong to go to Chu Huan like this."

"Second brother, it's not that we have to seek refuge with Chu Huan, but that Mo Wuyi deceived others too much and forced us to do so." Shiba sneered: "He cut off our way back and left us with nowhere to go, isn't it? Are we willing to die here?"

Qi Sheng thought about it for a while, then he seemed to have made up his mind, and said to Kou Ying, "Second brother, what the eighteenth brother said is right, let's not go, I'm afraid we will be killed by our own people tomorrow, Mo Wuyi forced us to take this step, No wonder we. Liaodong is no longer Dianshuai’s Liaodong, let alone our Liaodong, second brother, make up your mind, let’s bring our cronies and leave overnight!”
