Cao Yin frowned slightly, finally raised his hand, waved forward, and signaled the team to start crossing the river. Reading at zero o'clock

Han Mo had already urged his horse forward, and the absolute shadow was like a sharp arrow, slashing across the stone bridge, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the other end of the stone bridge, and restrained his horse in front of Qin Si, the envoy of the An army.

Qin Si was riding on his horse, and suddenly saw a silver-armored military general galloping over, and was taken aback, the horse under his seat was obviously afraid of the Absolute Shadow, and he neighed a few times uneasily, and took a few steps back.

Han Mo stared at Qin Si on the horse, and saw that this An military envoy was no more than forty years old, with fine skin and tender meat, but he could also see that he was a literati without military training.

It's just that the official's face was a little pale, it was a very unnatural white, and his eyes were a little flickering, as if he had something on his mind.

The more than 20 cavalrymen behind Qin Si were all extremely fierce horses, fat and long-legged, these cavalrymen were also burly and strong, and the armor on their bodies was obviously made of fine iron, which was quite dazzling under the sun.

Han Mo suddenly rushed over from the stone bridge, Qin Si was taken aback, but the group of cavalry behind him all instantly focused their eyes on Han Mo's body, this group of people were obviously well-trained soldiers, without any panic, and their cold eyes stared directly at Han Mo's face.

Han Mo's expression was calm, his eyes were already extremely bright, but once he became cold, he was extremely sharp, staring at Qin Si's face, and said very calmly: "Please dismount!" ”

Qin Si frowned.

Seeing that the other party did not get off the horse, Han Mo repeated again: "Get off the horse!" This time, even the word "please" was waived.

Qin Si arched his hand and said, "I heard that the leader of the Yan State Escort is General Han Mo Han, Your Excellency is Han Mo, right?" ”

Han Mo didn't answer his words, but said lightly: "The princess is about to cross the river, why don't you get off the horse to greet you?" He smiled coldly: "Riding on a horse, how can I cross the river with Princess Dayan?" Ben will protect the safety of the princess, and ensure that the princess enjoys all the etiquette she must have in Qingguo! ”

Qin Si opened his mouth, as if he was about to say something, but he didn't say anything after all, and seeing that Yun Canglan had also galloped over, he finally turned over and dismounted.

The knights behind him looked at each other, and finally turned over and dismounted.

After all, the team stepped on the stone bridge, like a long dragon passing across the stone bridge, and more than 100 cavalry led by Xia Houde stayed on the south bank, all of them turned over and dismounted, and watched the team of relatives set foot on the land of Qingguo, all kneeling down on one knee, and said in unison: "Princess take care all the way!" ”

The voices of hundreds of Northwest athletes were like thunder, seeing off their princess.

……

After the team crossed the bridge, Yun Canglan had already arrived at Qin Si's side, looked at Qin Si and asked, "Lord Qin, when did the general soldier of the company get sick?" ”

"It's been two days." Qin Si's face was a little unsightly, and he was still strangely white: "The doctor in the army has also seen it, it is said that he is overworked and contracted the wind and cold, so he has to rest for a few days." Yesterday, I got the news that the Yan State Mission was going to enter today, and even the general soldier was going to come to greet him in person, but his body was too weak and his whole body was cold, so it was the official who advised him not to come, let him rest well, and I came to greet him in person. ”

Yun Canglan frowned, watched the team pass by, and glanced at Qin Si again before he said lightly: "Lord Qin's health doesn't seem to be good?" It's not too hot this day, but Lord Qin's forehead is sweating a lot! ”

Qin Si was stunned, then laughed dryly, his eyes flickered, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped it on his forehead, and suddenly saw the luxurious carriage passing not far from the front, and asked, "Lord Yun, is the princess of Yan Kingdom in the car?" ”

Yun Canglan glanced at Qin Si, didn't speak, just shook the reins of the horse and followed the team.

Qin Si looked at Yun Canglan over, a look of resentment crossed his eyes, but he heard a cavalryman behind him already say in a deep voice: "Lord Qin, we should also follow!" ”

Qin Si glanced back at the cavalryman, nodded, and then turned on his horse and led a group of cavalry under his command to follow the flank of the team.

Xia Houde, who was on the south bank of the stone bridge, watched the team slowly move away, then got up, looked at the team in the distance and was silent for a while, before turning over his horse, turning the horse's head, and leading his cavalry to return to Zhuanshui Pass.

The area of the Zhuanshui Pass between Yanqing and Qingqing is bounded by the Zhuanhe River, and the Zhuanhe River is the Zhuanshui Pass of Yanguo more than 20 miles to the south, and nearly 50 miles to the north is the Nanwu Pass of Qingguo.

Seventy miles of no-man's land was vacant.

In fact, this is also due to history, in the period of the Great Qi Kingdom, there was no existence of Zhuanshui Pass, and the Zhuanshui Pass at that time was just a small-scale outpost.

At that time, Wuping County and Wu County were bounded by the current Nanwuguan of Qingguo, and in fact, this uninhabited area of seventy miles belonged to the jurisdiction of Wu County during the Great Qi Kingdom.

After taking Wu County, he considered that if the Qing army went out of Nanwu Pass to attack Wu County, it would be a flat river and nothing to defend, and Wu County would be in danger at that time, so he did not hesitate to order the construction of the checkpoint on the basis of the original outpost.

At that time, the Qingguo side was busy pacifying the north, and there was no time to look eastward, but let the Zhuanshui Pass be built quickly, although it was not as majestic as it is today, but it did build a strong pass, and it was precisely because of this order of King Yanwu that the attack on Qingguo failed, and after the defeat and retreat, it was able to resist the counterattack of the Qing army by virtue of the Zhuanshui Pass.

Qingguo has the inherent Nanwu Pass, where there is a geographical advantage, and naturally it will not move forward to build a new pass.

First, it is naturally a financial consideration, pushing forward dozens of miles to build a new pass, and the manpower, material and financial resources consumed are by no means small, and second, it is also because of the topography.

Seventy miles from Zhuanshui Pass to Nanwu Pass, it is an empty place with a flat river, and there is no danger to rely on.

In order to spend a lot of money to build a new defense line on the empty field, or to rely on the original Nanwu Pass to vacate a piece of land, the Qingguo people chose the latter.

Therefore, there is a buffer zone of 70 miles in the middle, which is divided into two by the Zhuan River.

The scouts of both sides were also active in these seventy miles, and there was often friction, and once they met, they usually did not hesitate to destroy the other side's scout troops.

At this time, the team of relatives is advancing in the blank area of seventy miles, although there is a team of nearly 1,000 people, but on the vast land, this team still seems very small.

After crossing the river and traveling nearly 20 miles, it was already noon, and the sun in the sky was also unusually dazzling, and it was the end of July, and the weather was already hot, and the people and horses were all dressed in armor, and they already felt the heat.

Qin Si led more than 20 of his men to follow the flank of the team, I don't know if it was because he was a little fat and afraid of heat or because of some other reason, the forehead of the An army envoy kept sweating out, he rode on the horse, but he kept wiping the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief along the way.

Han Mo turned his head and couldn't help frowning when he saw that the envoy of the army looked distracted.

Song Shiqing hurriedly came forward and asked Cao Yin: "Master Hou, there are still more than 20 miles of land, it is estimated that it will take an hour, shall we rest and let the princess and everyone eat something before leaving?" ”

Cao Yin thought for a while before saying, "Send some food to the princess, and the others will rush to Nanwu Pass to rest!" ”

Song Shiqing nodded yes, and was about to go down, at this moment, a fast horse galloped to Han Mo's side, this knight was not wearing armor, but was wearing a black strong coat and a mask on his face, and at first glance he was a dark official who came with the team.

Accompanying this trip, there were also nearly twenty dark officials of the West Flower Hall, all of whom were mixed in the team, all of them wearing masks.

Everyone can also understand that the dark officials are engaged in dark affairs and will never reveal their identities, so it is natural to cover their faces with masks.

"My lord, there is a situation!" The man said in a low voice: "My subordinates just discovered that an unknown figure appeared in the direction of the right wing!" ”

Han Mo frowned and asked, "What do you look like?" ”

"Just show up and step back." The official said: "But riding a horse, entering the territory of Qingguo, it has appeared twice, the first time the subordinates are not sure, but just now this group of people appeared again, the subordinates can see clearly, this time they have three horses in the direction of the right wing, but they quickly retreated!" ”

Han Mo looked in the direction of the right flank, and in the distance, there was a small dirt slope, and there was no movement.

Today, both sides know that Yan Gong mainly goes to Nanwu Pass from Zhuanshui Pass, for the sake of safety, they are worried that there will be traitors and assassins to and from the business travel, so the checkpoints on both sides are blocked, and no one is allowed to leave the pass, which also leads to the empty space of seventy miles is rarely inhabited, and only the team of the Heqin Mission.

Han Mo clenched his fists slightly, he didn't believe that there were a large number of troops ambushed in this area, the escort team of the Yan Kingdom had eight hundred people, and they were all first-class royal forest warriors of the Yan Kingdom, if they wanted to hurt the princess under the protection of this group of warriors, the enemy would need at least twice as many troops to make it possible to try.

But who would dare to blatantly lead an army here to attack the Peace Mission?

At this moment, Xiao Mu had already galloped over and whispered, "My lord, there is a change in the direction of the left wing!" ”

Han Mo smiled coldly and ordered: "Send cavalry scouts to the two wings to explore, the general really wants to know, who has the courage to do it here!" ”

Although there are countless forces in the Three Kingdoms of Yanqing and Wei who want to destroy this peace, who dares to ambush here openly? Who will be able to assemble an army here?

Xiao Mu received the order and was about to send scouts to the two wings to inquire about the situation, but he heard someone already shouting: "There is an enemy!" ”

Everyone had already seen that on the two wings of the team, a group of men and horses suddenly appeared at the same time, and the distance was still far away, but Han Mo could faintly see that this group of cavalry appeared on the horizon of the sky like a black ghost.

Under the sun, on the dirt slope, a group of horsemen appeared from the right flank, these horsemen were all riding black horses, dressed in black clothes, without armor, and they all held broadswords in their hands, and the sun shone brightly on the broadswords.
