The setting sun is gone, and the tiny stars are scattered among the branches. The patrol team of the forbidden army patrolled the streets and alleys, and Xiao Chiye walked along the street in the shadows with Shen Zechuan behind his back. The summer night was a little hot, and Xiao Chiye didn't walk fast with his coat open.
Shen Zechuan raised his head and pressed his chin on the top of Xiao Chiye's hair. Xiao Chiye was so tall that Shen Zechuan's upper body was exposed to the moonlight. As long as he turned his head, he could see the inside of other people's walls.
"Tomorrow morning, I will go to the old camp and intercept his escape route from the east. He does not dare to go north, and there are soldiers in ambush in the south. I will be back in three days at the latest." Xiao Chiye supported Shen Zechuan and said, "We It's been a long time since there was any news about Qi Zhuyin, so we have to send someone to inquire as soon as possible so that we can know what Qi Zhuyin is doing."
"Hua and Qi's marriage has been delayed again and again. In order to ask for foreign aid, the Queen Mother will not let Qi Shiyu wait any longer." Shen Zechuan estimated the time and said, "The wedding date will not be delayed beyond August at the latest."
"Hua Xiangyi can marry," Xiao Chiye said. "As long as she has no children, Qi Dong will still have the final say. She is going to be a successor, and she is younger than Qi Zhuyin. If she gives birth to a son, it will be Qi Shiyu. When Qi Shiyu dies, their mother and son are the hidden dangers that hinder Qi Zhuyin's control of military power."
"The commander's prestige in the army should not be underestimated, would she really be afraid of a younger brother who is so many years younger?" Shen Zechuan thought, and said, "If she lives in harmony with Hua Xiangyi for the sake of peace in the backyard, she will Saves a lot of trouble."
"It's not easy for Qi Zhuyin to get the seal. It can be seen from the twists and turns of her taking over the five counties in Qidong. Except for Qie Du, who is deeply uneasy about her being a woman, even the military and political officials in Qidong are eager to move." Xiao Chiye said here, suddenly After a while, he continued, "Besides, the family tree that I had to transcribe was handed over to Qi Zhuyin as early as in the capital. Just for this matter, she would not let Hua Xiangyi give birth to a child."
As long as Hua Xiangyi's foundation in Qidong is unstable, the Queen Mother will never be able to turn the Qidong garrison into her right-hand man. However, this is all based on the premise that there is no real emperor in Qedu. If Qedu introduces a new emperor before winter comes, then Qi Zhuyin and Libei will become confrontational.
"I'm worried about Lu Guangbai," Xiao Chiye said with a relaxed expression, "After the autumn, the Biansha cavalry will cross the border to plunder food. This is when their horses are fat. In order to better survive the winter, they will I chose to take the risk. The military rations of Bianjun depended on Dazhou's allocation, and the 12th Biansha Division also knew that they were poor. The granary was built in Bianjun, which was very close to the camp, so they would chase Lu Guangbai hard every time. This year Qidong The military rations were cut in half, he was the worst offender, and he was the worst offender, and when I left the capital, it made things worse."
But this is something that Shen Zechuan has no way to help. If Bianjun is not so far east, and there are no Tianfei Que and Suotianguan stationed on both sides, then they may be able to pass a book with Ge Qingqing who is still in Yongyi Port in Juexi. Let Xi Dan find a way to buy a batch of grain from Juexi and send it to Qidong through Hezhou to give Lu Guangbai an emergency. But Bianjun was just to the east of Cangjun, there were obstacles on the left and right, and there was no other way except passing under Cangjun's eyelids. Qidong is also not Juexi, Qi Zhuyin has built an airtight layer of defense there, and it is impossible to pass silently.
Border County is like a night watchman standing on the edge of a cliff. This is a place like a desperate place.
Xiao Chiye felt the atmosphere was dignified, so he turned around with Shen Zechuan behind his back, and said, "Right now, the most important thing is to pursue Lei Jingzhe. When we defend Zhongbo, it will be easier to help Bianjun, as long as we cross the Tianfei Que, we will be able to reach it directly. . stinky sweat all over, still smelling?"
Shen Zechuan wiped the sweat off the side of Xiao Chiye's neck with his fingers, pressed against his cheek, and said, "You run."
Xiao Chiye bumped him and said, "I'm too tired to run."
Shen Zechuan pinched Xiao Chiye's cheek and said, "If the second son can't do it, replace me."
Xiao Chiye pretended to put him down and said, "You come down, the second son will see how you carry me back tonight."
Shen Zechuan hugged him tightly, raised his feet, and said solemnly, "Why fight for this? You can do it."
Xiao Chiye lifted the man up again.
Shen Zechuan hung on his back, pulled his fingertips down the placket of his clothes, and said in his ear, "Erlang, what's wrong? Anything is fine."
Xiao Chiye turned his head to the side, unexpectedly calm, and said, "Where are you going?"
Shen Zechuan said: "Go—"
Before Shen Zechuan's words were finished, Xiao Chiye stretched his long legs and ran. He ran through the shade of the trees with Shen Zechuan on his back, stepped on the moonlight of the summer night, and got into the street where the lights were off. The patrol team went back and forth, but did not notice the two figures. Xiao Chiye easily jumped over the small steps, the tree shadows fell mottled in his hair, and they smashed the starlight on the ground, like a free and reckless wind between heaven and earth.
The gatekeeper of the small courtyard was still yawning, and when he heard the knock on the door, he thought to himself that Lord Hou and Tongzhi had returned. He was clothed, carrying a lantern, and opened the door with a smile on his face, but it was empty.
"It's haunted." The servant said in a low voice, and when he probed out, he didn't see anyone left or right, so he quickly retracted, wrapped his coat and trot back to the room.
The corridor was dark, and there were no lanterns. Shen Zechuan's footsteps were messy, and he almost stumbled upon Xiao Chiye. Xiao Chiye pushed Shen Zechuan against the door, and pulled off the belt of Shen Zechuan's hair between kisses. Shen Zechuan gasped from the kiss, put his hands behind his back, and felt for the door lock.
"There is no key," Xiao Chiye raised the person slightly, pressed his eyes close to him, and looked at Shen Zechuan greedily, "I can't get in."
Shen Zechuan's heels went down along Xiao Chiye's back waist, but he raised his hand against Xiao Chiye's approaching chin, with a pun in his breath: "If you can't get in, then you can't get in."
Xiao Chiye squeezed Shen Zechuan's mouth open, and lowered his head to hold the sliding tongue. The exhaustion that was still rushing last night seemed to be swept away, Shen Zechuan swallowed his body fluids and listened to the squeaking of the door panel. He wanted to slow down his voice, so he pulled Xiao Chiye closer, and the two of them leaned on top of each other, and there was no gap at all.
"We're here, we can go anywhere," Xiao Chiye said while grinding his soft flesh, tightening his throat, and sighing, "Build a home."
Shen Zechuan was sweating, raised his head in tears and made no sound. He hadn't done it for a long time, and was shivering slightly tonight from being stabbed, and he was about to come out after just a few strokes. He wrinkled the shirt on Xiao Chiye's shoulder, his chest heaving violently, and after a while, he said in a low voice, "No, go in, go in..."
Xiao Chiye took this sentence as an answer, and stood up abruptly, making Shen Zechuan almost lose his voice.
"What's wrong with Erlang?" Xiao Chiye held Shen Zechuan firmly with his arm, pinched his face, and said ruthlessly, "Erlang can do anything."
Shen Zechuan's eyes quickly turned red, and his half-exposed neck also turned red. He opened his mouth several times, but only other voices escaped. His clothes were soaked with sweat, and Shen Zechuan gradually couldn't breathe. He pressed against Xiao Chiye's chest and was dazed by the turbulent joy. In less than half an hour, he had already disarmed twice.

Shen Zechuan fell asleep, and Xiao Chiye just finished bathing. He saw the bright light outside the window, so he didn't rest any longer, but drank a cup of tea and squatted by the bed, watching Shen Zechuan sound asleep.
It's not falling asleep.
Xiao Chiye raised his hand and rubbed Shen Zechuan's cheek.
Back to Libei, be sure to invite Master Yideng. After thinking about it, he felt that whether it was a cold or an epidemic, the frequent occurrence of Shen Zechuan was inseparable from the medicine.
too skinny.
Xiao Chiye stared at Shen Zechuan, thinking in the silence.
Although I used to think he was thin in Yedu, it was better then than it is now. After Qi Huilian's death, Shen Zechuan's illness came and went quickly, but no one was fed again. There was nothing on the way, Xiao Chiye held him, looked at him, and took care of some of the dependence he gradually poured into.
Shen Wei and Bai Cha didn't care.
Xiao Chiye lowered his head, pressed against Shen Zechuan's cheek, stared at the sunlight trying to fall on Shen Zechuan, with deep hostility.
Shen Lanzhou belongs to Xiao Ce'an.

When Xiao Chiye rode his horse out of the city, Zhou Gui and Kong Ling saw him off. He reined in the reins and said, "For three days, I will come back regardless of success or failure. The Imperial Guards stationed here will not move for the time being. Once they notice the trace of Lei Jingzhe, they will send people to report to me quickly. Although the city walls of Ibaraki are dilapidated, But we can’t just ignore it, the specific reinforcement arrangements will be explained in detail by Lan Zhou later.”
"Don't worry, Lord Hou," Zhou Gui said, "Everyone in Cizhou listens to the arrangements."
"About the rebuilding of the Ibaraki garrison..." Xiao Chiye paused for a moment, then said, "I will never ask, that is the military affairs that Lan Zhou will discuss with the two of you. The forbidden army is only acting on behalf of the patrol power, and I can't overstep it. Deal with it, so if there is something, please discuss it with Lan Zhou, I can't decide."
Kong Ling felt hot and cold again. They originally worried that Xiao Chiye would intervene in the reconstruction of the Ibaraki Garrison Army under the pretext of acting as a patrol agent, and refused to return the military power of Ibaraki. Hearing what he said at this moment, I was relieved at first, and then worried again. Xiao Chiye doesn't want the military power of Izuku, doesn't charge Izzhou rewards, and doesn't take Izzhou food, so why is he working so hard to fight against Lei Jingzhe? Why don't you go north and go home right away.
Kong Ling considered his words, but before he could say anything, Xiao Chiye continued to say, "Since I promised to kill the two bandits, I will not betray my promise. Lord Zhou is willing to risk beheading to let the forbidden army cross the border. This friendship Of course, I will pay it back. Besides, the food and grass supply for the forbidden army these days is also borne by the people of Cizhou. After we eat, the battle will definitely be fought.”
Zhou Guixing bowed and said, "Then we are here to wait for the triumph of the Marquis!"
"There are a few more things, and I also told the two of you." Xiao Chiye's horse took a few steps around, he looked at Zhou Gui and Kong Ling, and said, "I have no plans to take a concubine in my life, and now Staying in Lord Zhou's mansion temporarily, I don't need to send people away in the courtyard, I don't want men and women. Besides, the affairs are complicated now, and I don't have the energy to deal with the two of them on this matter, so I will explain it to the two of them through today. "
Kong Ling knew that he was referring to what happened last time, and couldn't help but look embarrassed, neither smiling nor answering.
"Lan Zhou has lived in Zhongbo for a long time, and it is inevitable that someone will bring up some old things. But is he Shen Zechuan?" Xiao Chiye raised his horse whip and pointed in the direction of Qudu, "He is a student of Qi Huilian, the master of the East Palace, and Duanzhou Jigang is closed. Disciple, Jin Yiwei's predecessor, Beizhen Fujian Tongzhi, is still the head of my family in the future of Xiao Ce'an, and it has nothing to do with other names."
Zhou Gui didn't know how to answer this time. He wasn't someone who would prevaricate. He was stunned, his lips moved, and he said, "Ah, ah..."
Xiao Chiye turned his horse's head and drove away with the bird of prey.
Zhou Gui didn't return to his senses for a long time, grabbed his sleeves and asked Kong Ling: "Master Hou, what does this mean? Then King Libei..."
"It's all said and done, people don't care about the soldiers and horses of Cizhou, but don't mention Shen Wei," Kong Ling calmly wiped his sweat and said, "Don't mention white tea."
