After Xie Xingzhou lost hundreds of troops in the forest, his expression became ugly.

If it is said that he followed orders to suppress the bandits before, and there were not many elements to avenge Min Hongyi, then now he really wants to find out and kill those cunning guys one by one!

Dare to fool him Xie Xingzhou, really tired of work!

Later, he stepped up his guard and transferred soldiers who were proficient in Qimen Dunjia from the city.

The gossip formation in the forest was broken, and the army finally passed through this precipitous land and arrived at the entrance of the village.

A small stream connects the canyon to the village, and the wooden bridge above has been cut off.

However, the river was not too wide, so it would not be a problem to re-cut trees and build a temporary simple wooden bridge.

"Just trouble Elder Lu." Xie Xingzhou said.

"Hmph!" Riding on his horse, Elder Lu turned his head slightly, and gestured to the two disciples behind him.

The two disciples understood, pulled out the swords around their waists, cut off two big trees with a speed that could not cover their ears, and split them with a sword from one of them.

The lieutenant of Xie Xingzhou called a few capable soldiers, tied the wood with ropes, embedded the curved part downwards into the dug mud pit, and fixed the sides with spears to prevent the wooden bridge from tipping over.

This operation only took two quarters of an hour, which can be described as extremely fast.

The horses of the Jin army refused to cross this unreliable "dangerous bridge", and they could not cross it directly like the Black Wind King. Xie Xingzhou and his party had to get off their horses and walk across the bridge.

A lieutenant flattered him and said: "I heard that the Black Wind Cavalry of Yan Kingdom is very powerful. When we defeat them, the younger one will capture the Black Wind King and give it to General Xie."

Xie Xingzhou didn't respond on the surface, but he was actually a little tempted.

The Black Wind Cavalry is the most powerful iron cavalry in the Six Kingdoms. In addition to the excellent combat skills of the cavalry, the horses are even more important. In particular, each Black Wind King is simply the god of war among horses.

When he was young, he once had the opportunity to witness Xuanyuan Li's Black Wind King, and he was so frightened that he couldn't sleep for three days, and he still feels the palpitation when he recalls it.

Now, of course, it is impossible for him to be intimidated by a horse anymore, but if he can conquer such a horse of the god of war, it will not be considered a disgrace to his reputation as a titan over the years.

... I don't know if the lord is interested in the Black Wind King. If so, then he basically has no part in it.

In just a split second, Xie Xingzhou had already planned the destination of the Black Wind King in his mind.

The Jin army entered the village.

The deputy general said with emotion: "This village is not small, it can accommodate hundreds of people." He commanded his subordinates, "You guys, search from house to house!"

"yes!"

The soldiers took orders and divided into two teams, one team searched for the villagers' residences, and the other team searched for the ghost soldiers' camp.

The result was disappointing. Except for a few wild boars that they couldn't take away, they didn't even see anyone.

"Escaped?" Xie Xingzhou frowned, called the two spies who stayed behind last night, and asked, "Did you find anything last night?"

Spy A reported: "Returning to the general, the two of us stayed in ambush at the entrance of the ghost mountain last night to make sure that no one came out of the ghost mountain."

Xie Xingzhou randomly entered a stove room, and put his hand into the stove to feel it.

cold.

He ordered: "Check the other stoves."

"yes!"

The soldiers checked one by one, and there was no temperature in the stove. In today's weather, if the fire had been raised early, there would be residual heat in the stove by now.

Suddenly, another soldier walked over quickly, clasped his fists and saluted, "General! We found something on the east mountain!"

Xie Xingzhou took his subordinates down to the place the lieutenant said.

Surrounded by green hills, there are sparkling waves, and the lake stretches as far as the eye can see. Ghost Mountain is surrounded by water on three sides, and there is only one entrance and exit, which is the hilltop in the south.

At this time, on the shore of the eastern mountain, everyone found a large number of footprints and traces of ships docking, and even some scattered items, such as shoes and purses.

In addition, a small boat was parked on the shore, and the bottom of the boat was leaking.

New cuts from broken planks, freshly made.

Combined with the evidence that there was no fire in the stove in the morning, everyone couldn't help but imagine the scene of the villagers fleeing overnight. The lights were dark, the road could not be seen, things were dropped on the ground, and the boat was accidentally damaged.

Everything is reasonable, and there is no second explanation.

If Min Hongyi was here and appointed to lead the army to detour to the other side of the lake to arrest people, Xie Xingzhou's mind was not that simple.

"Zhong Cheng." He called his lieutenant, "Where is the other side of the lake?"

"I haven't even been to the small ones." Zhong Cheng said, he is the secret agent of Jin State in Pucheng, and he is very familiar with the terrain of Pucheng, except for the ghost mountain that looks like a forbidden area.

Xie Xingzhou said: "Fix the boat and send two people who know water to row over to look for it."

"yes!"

Regarding Xie Xingzhou's decision, Shangguan Qing had already predicted it, and Shangguan Qing was not worried.

Because there is only a small broken boat here, which can seat two or three people at most, and this lake is very big, and there are green hills on both sides of the bank for a while.

And there is a very steep waterfall at the end of the green hill, most people who have never been there will not be able to come back.

Of course, Yi Xie Xingzhou's mind doesn't just make one-handed plans.

Sure enough, Xie Xingzhou immediately ordered the rest of the lieutenants: "Look around, search every mountain top, pay attention to hidden caves, entrances, etc., and don't miss any clues."

Everyone took orders and scattered.

Gu Jiao was sitting at the entrance of the cave. She already knew that the Jin army had entered the mountain, and she also heard the movement of Shangguan Qing leading the villagers to evacuate. At this moment, the Jin army was hunting and hunting, and she wondered if they would find any clues.

Two Jin soldiers pushed open the bushes outside the crack, which was impenetrable from the outside, they stabbed it in with their swords, and left very disappointed.

The Jin army came wave after wave, but failed to find the cave behind the crack.

There are trees and grass outside the cave, and there is food and water inside the cave, so you don't have to worry about starvation.

Gu Jiao glanced at Xuanyuan Qi beside him who was still in a state of meditation, and continued to meditate to protect him.

...

The Jin army's search continued until evening. They searched almost the entire ghost mountain, but still found nothing.

In the big rock cave with the gurgling stream, three hundred ghost soldiers were stationed beside the stream, and behind them were more than five hundred villagers from the village.

A few ghost soldiers who came back from the various passages reported to Shang Guanqing the situation on the ground.

"They seem to have stopped searching."

"However, Xie Xingzhou didn't immediately order to withdraw his troops. He seemed to be waiting for the return of the Jin army who went to search the lake."

"Most of the two Jin troops were killed, and he couldn't wait."

Shangguan Qing nodded when he heard the words: "If he can't wait, he only has two guesses. One is that they had an accident, and the other is that they were killed by us. Xie Xingzhou may guess the latter. There are no other ships here. , he has to transport it in the city, and the search on the lake and along the coast can delay it for several days.”

After he finished speaking, he turned around, looked at the nervous villagers sitting on the ground, and said, "Don't be afraid, everyone, we are safe now, and they can't find them, so they will naturally believe that we have successfully transferred."

"Then... when will it be?" a villager asked.

"At that time, the imperial army will come to fight!"

It was Tang Yueshan who spoke.

He stepped forward and said to the eager villagers, "Today, the imperial army is attacking the Liang army. After the battle, they will come to Pucheng to deal with the Jin army!"

The villager excitedly said, "So... we will all be saved?"

Tang Yueshan said: "Of course! At most five days, the imperial army will arrive!"

To attack Liang Jun, capture Nangong's family, and take back Xincheng, five days is enough at Lao Xiao's speed.

Lao Xiao's daughter-in-law is still here, if not for five days, Lao Xiao must have guessed that he and the girl are in trouble, and will definitely speed up the offensive against Pucheng.

"How do you know?" another villager asked.

"I..." Tang Yueshan opened his mouth, thinking about how to explain his identity.

Shangguan Qing clasped his hands behind his back and said calmly, "He is the Marshal Tang sent by the imperial court."

All of you here are border natives and don't know much about the court officials, but when they heard that it was the Grand Marshal, everyone immediately believed in his words and rekindled their hopes.

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, each with their hearts in their stomachs.

Tang Yueshan whispered: "Isn't it a little bit of you to lie like this..."

Shangguan Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't say which country's marshal or which court it is."

Tang Yueshan: "..."

He still wanted to say something, but when he suddenly noticed the movement on the top, he hurriedly made a silent gesture.

The villagers were very cooperative. Even Xiaoying, who was more than one year old, covered her mouth with her small hand under the gesture of her brother.

Xiaoying is good, Xiaoying doesn't speak.

The cave suddenly became silent.

"Okay, let's camp here tonight!"

They heard the voice of the Jin army.

The border trade in Pucheng was developed. Before the war broke out, there were many shops opened by merchants from the Jin Kingdom. The people here basically knew a little bit of Jin and Yan dialects.

The Jin army actually camped on top of them, which is really wrong.

Shangguan Qing signaled with gestures: "Just keep quiet, don't worry."

Everyone nodded. It just so happened that it was getting late at the moment. Everyone slept, and when they woke up, the group of Jin troops should leave camp and leave.

"Don't sleep if you snore." Shangguan Qing whispered.

Tang Yueshan just lay down with his bow in his arms, and then sat up with a dark face.

...

At night, people on the ground and underground fell asleep, and the ghost mountain fell into silence.

Tang Yueshan didn't dare to sleep too hard, so he found an open space and sat down with his bow in his arms, leaning his back against the wall, squinting from time to time.

In the middle of the night, he heard an unusual movement, which seemed to be a very difficult (divided) moan.

He frowned, and looked strangely at the source of the sound. With the light of the night pearl on the wall, he saw clearly that the one who was moaning in pain (separated) was a pregnant woman with a big belly.

Tang Yueshan remembered that she was the mother of the little girl (Xiaoying).

Her husband was killed by the Jin army in Pucheng, and she was rescued by Shangguan Qing back to Guishan with her two children.

The ghost soldiers on duty went to patrol elsewhere, and the only person still awake at the moment was Tang Yueshan.

Tang Yueshan looked at her in bewilderment, wondering what was wrong with her?

In the next second, Tang Yueshan saw her pull out a dagger, gritted his teeth and cut it at his neck!

Tang Yueshan's heart skipped a beat, he grabbed her wrist, and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing!"

The moment she took out the dagger, he almost regarded her as a spy. Who would have thought that she was going to hang herself?

The woman's surname was Zhang. She was drenched in cold sweat and her face was pale.

Tang Yueshan vaguely realized something, looked at her painful expression, and looked at her swollen belly: "You...you are going to give birth, right?"

"what's the situation?"

Shangguan Qing woke up from his sleep and walked over.

He glanced at the water stains under the woman's skirt, frowned, and said calmly, "The amniotic water has broken, and the baby is about to be born."

Mrs. Zhang was only eight months pregnant, and she didn't even reach the expected date of delivery. Maybe it was due to too much pressure that led to premature delivery.

Mrs. Zhang endured a wave of terrible labor pains, her eyes were red and choked with sobs: "I can't give birth... I can't..."

The Jin army is on the ground, and once her children are born, the cries will reveal where they all hide.

With tears in her eyes, she cried in pain and despair: "It will be...Xiaoying will die...Xiaohui will die...you... will all die..."

She cannot ruin the lives of a pair of children and the whole village just because of a fetus in her womb.

Shangguan Qing looked at Xiaoying who was snoring beside her, then looked back at the sleeping villagers, and made a decision in his heart.

He said seriously, "I'll take you to another place to give birth, please bear with me a little bit."

Zhang choked up and said, "No, won't it be exposed?"

Shangguan Qing said: "Many premature babies don't cry loudly. If we go a little further, we may not be found. If... I mean, if it really gets to that point, I will personally deal with him."

Tang Yueshan was shocked.

He actually understood.

He looked at Shang Guanqing in disbelief. He couldn't believe that such a thing could come out of this child's mouth.

For him, cruelty is a more difficult choice than kindness.

It's just that if you don't, thousands of people will lose their lives.

Rather than letting Zhang's hands be stained with the blood of the child, he would rather do it himself, and let himself bear the shadow that will never be erased for the rest of his life.

Mrs. Zhang nodded with tears in her eyes.

Shangguanqing woke up an old woman in the village, and called a few ghost soldiers, and gave some orders. The ghost soldiers found the emergency stretcher in the cave and carried Mrs. Zhang away.

Shangguanqing woke up another aunt and asked her to help take care of Zhang's two children, so that they would not feel uneasy and afraid when they woke up and found that their mother was gone.

"What happened?" asked the aunt.

The villagers woke up one after another. Because they were trapped in the cave, everyone's spirits were highly tense, and they would be terrified at the slightest sign of trouble.

Standing under the cold pearl light, Shangguan Qing said calmly: "I will solve it, everyone go to sleep."

He exuded a trustworthy aura, and everyone nodded without asking any more questions, and went to sleep obediently.

Together with him, Tang Yueshan went to the place where the Zhang family gave birth—it was a small cave at least a hundred feet away, which was originally used for storage.

Mrs. Zhang lay flat on the stretcher on the ground.

The old woman is not a stable woman, but compared to a man, she has a bit of experience in childbirth.

She accompanied Mrs. Zhang to give birth inside, while Shangguan Qing and the others stayed outside the cave.

"Is there any wood?" The old woman came out and asked.

"How big is it?" Shangguan Qing asked.

The old woman said: "It doesn't need to be too big, just let her bite it in her mouth, so as not to make too much noise, and also to prevent her from hurting herself."

Shangguan Qing pulled out the cork on the water bag: "Is this okay?"

The old woman shook her head: "This won't work."

"What about this?" Shangguan Qing pulled out the wooden hairpin from his head again.

The old woman shook her head again: "No way."

Shangguan Qing hesitated for a moment, took out a very old small wooden dagger from his bosom, and handed it to the old woman.

The old woman smiled and said, "That should be the end of it."

After that, she turned around and entered the small cave with the dagger in hand.

Tang Yueshan noticed a moment of sadness on Shangguan Qing's expression.

Is that little wooden dagger something very cherished?

But it doesn't look expensive. If he likes it, when he becomes his godson, he will engrave ten or eight for him!

Zhang's labor pains started during the day, and the cervix had been fully opened at this time, but she just couldn't give birth.

"Oh, I'm afraid it's not very good..."

The old woman came out anxiously, and said to Shangguan Qing, "Ms. Zhang has a difficult delivery..."

A woman has to go through the gate of hell to give birth. Once she encounters dystocia, she may die twice.

Tang Yueshan punched his palm, muttering: "It would be great if that girl was here!"

"What's wrong?"

A familiar young voice suddenly appeared at the other end of the passage, and the two ghost soldiers quickly stood on guard.

"it's me."

Gu Jiao said.

Shangguan Qing waved his hand, and the two ghost soldiers stepped aside.

Gu Jiao pushed open a secret door and crawled out from inside.

She patted the dust off her body and said softly, "It's really hard to find here."

Shangguan Qing looked at her suspiciously: "Did you come from the back mountain?"

Gu Jiao said: "Otherwise? Are you coming from the camp of the Jin army?"

Shangguan Qing couldn't hide his surprise: "There is also a tunnel in the back mountain? Is it connected to here?"

"What? You don't know?" Well, she just knew.

She was wandering around Xuanyuanqi's cave in boredom, but accidentally bumped into a mechanism and fell into a tunnel.

She wanted to go back, but unexpectedly ran into them when she walked around.

Tang Yueshan grabbed her wrist and walked over: "You came just in time! There is a woman with dystocia! Come in and have a look!"

"Primipara or multipara?" After Gu Jiao asked, seeing the confused faces of the two, she said oh, and changed her words, "Have you ever given birth before?"

"I had two children," Shangguan Qing said.

Gu Jiao: "When did it happen?"

Shangguan Qing: "I don't know the details, she has been enduring it."

"Okay, I got it." Gu Jiao entered the small cave where Zhang's family gave birth.

Zhang's face was pale, and there was a small wooden dagger in his mouth.

There is no dry place on her body, even the stretcher under her body has been soaked with sweat.

"Do you feel like you're going to show respect?" Gu Jiao asked.

She nodded with difficulty.

Gu Jiao checked her, and the cervix was fully dilated, but the fetal position was not correct.

There is no condition for caesarean section at present.

Fortunately, her amniotic fluid was not completely broken, and the fetus was still able to swim in the womb. The pregnancy correction technique that she stole from an old Chinese doctor in her previous life should come in handy.

"I hope useful to you."

...

Time passed minute by minute.

Shangguan Qing and Tang Yueshan stood guard outside the cave. They seemed calm, but their palms were actually sweating.

Tang Yueshan never dreamed that one day he would guard a woman to deliver the baby.

What... what's the matter?

He paced up and down the corridor, talking to himself in a low voice.

"It's been a long time, won't it be impossible to give birth?"

"No, no, that girl is so skilled in medicine..."

"How come I didn't realize that it's so dangerous for a woman to give birth to a child..."

"My sister-in-law has worked hard to give birth to tomorrow, so I can make up for her when I go back."

With Zhang's last muffled groan, a baby covered in bruises fell to the ground.

it's a baby boy

Although it is less than a month old, it is not small.

"Why...there is no...crying sound?" Zhang looked weakly at the baby in Gu Jiao's arms.

Gu Jiao grabbed the little guy's feet, lifted him up and slapped his little butt a few times.

The unresponsive little guy finally moved, he clenched his fists, opened his mouth, and cried with a loud cry——

The cry was so loud that Shangguan Qing and Tang Yueshan were so shocked that their hairs exploded!

What about premature babies?

A full-term baby doesn't cry as loudly as you do, does it?

In the tent on the ground, Xie Xingzhou and Elder Lu opened their eyes almost at the same time.

The two have excellent hearing, but they are not sure if they heard it wrong.

The two walked out of their respective tents.

When Xie Xingzhou saw Elder Lu, he was half sure: "Are you..."

The same is true for Elder Lu, he nodded: "I thought I heard it wrong, it seems that General Xie heard it too."

Xie Xingzhou said hehe: "It can't be a ghost crying in the middle of the night, right?"

Elder Lu said indifferently: "If General Xie believes in ghosts, I have nothing to say."

Xie Xingzhou said in a cold voice: "Hmph, even if there is a ghost, this general will take out that crying little ghost!"

Elder Lu said: "The sound seems to be coming from underground."

The two got down and put their ears on the ground together.

At this moment, lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a thunderous explosion.

"Whoa—"

The baby's cries were perfectly drowned out by the thunder.

The two stood up.

Xie Xingzhou asked: "Elder Lu, what do you think?"

Elder Lu said with a smile: "The commander of this operation is General Xie. I will follow General Xie's orders."

Xie Xingzhou looked up at the lightning jumping like a dragon on the dome, smiled, and said, "They are really lucky, no, we are really lucky."

Elder Lu also showed a determined smile on his face: "Although the thunder is dense and covers up the baby's crying, we can be sure that there are people underground. We only need to dig three feet, and we will be able to dig them out!"

...

underground.

Mrs. Zhang was already fainted from exhaustion.

Gu Jiao hugged the crying little guy, and stuffed his own thumb into his own mouth.

He fell asleep without sucking twice.

The people in the passage let out a long sigh of relief.

Tang Yueshan asked with the last trace of luck: "The first sound was not covered by the thunder just now, so it shouldn't be so unlucky to be discovered?"

Shangguanqing sent ghost soldiers to investigate the situation, and the information he got was that all the Jin troops on the ground were awakened by Xie Xingzhou.

"It seems... They found us and are preparing to dig the ground. It's just that they don't seem to be sure of our exact location. They started digging from the village."

Ghost soldiers report.

Tang Yueshan closed his eyes, sure enough, how can there be any luck in the battlefield?

A little carelessness is fatal.

He looked at Shangguan Qing and said, "What should we do now? You don't really want to kill this child, do you?"

Shangguan Qing glanced at the child in Gu Jiao's arms, frowned and said, "It's been exposed, killing him won't help."

Gu Jiao asked Shangguan Qing, "How long can you hold back here?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Qing took a deep look at Gu Jiao: "What do you want to do?"

Gu Jiao lowered her head and took the little guy's fingers out of his mouth, and said: "He will still cry when he wakes up. When the thunder stops, the Jin army can easily lock your position. I will take him away."

Shangguan Qing said: "Where are you going? The ghost king's lair? It will also be exposed."

Gu Jiao said, "No, go back to Quyang."

Shangguan Qing was shocked: "You..."

Gu Jiao said calmly: "I'll go back to Quyang to rescue the soldiers, give me two days, the Black Wind Rider and the imperial army will surely come to the city!"

This will be the final battle!

"It's useless." Shangguan Qing turned around, "Even if you get out of Ghost Mountain, you won't be able to get out of Pucheng."

It is easy to enter Pucheng, but difficult to leave Pucheng. What's more, after such a big incident, the checkpoints at the gate of the city must be stricter.

Even if he goes out in person, he may not be able to successfully send people out of the city.

Gu Jiao said: "If you can't get out, you have to try to know. In addition, you guard the ghost mountain, and I will find a way to get out of the city. You just need to tell me which passage can get out of the ghost mountain."

In her dictionary, there is no such thing as retreating.

Shangguan Qing asked: "Are you sure you want to do this? It's very dangerous."

She is not afraid of danger, but——

She thought of Xuanyuan Qi.

At this time, she still had that strong intuition: if she left here, she might never see him again.

Those secrets will also be sealed forever.

A thousand lives, and the truth she wants to trace.

Without any hesitation, she made a choice in her heart.
