Chapter 181 The Fire of the East
One month after Xirong took control of Hehe, in addition to capturing the Lingshui hinterland with lightning speed, he also supported justice, supported King Ning to bring order to the chaos, and sought justice for the old King Zhenxi who loyally protected the country but died unjustly, and officially headed eastward. Inspired by the declaration of war, he supported the rebellious Zhenxi Old Department with great fanfare.

Qi Ji was based in Qidu, and urgently mobilized the Northern Qi Army, Nanchang Army, and part of the Dongding Army, and ordered Nanchang Wang Gubaiji, Xiao Guang, and Fan Li to lead their armies to fully meet the enemy on the northwest border.

Because the Xirong army was well prepared and preemptive, and cooperated with the rebellious old Zhenxi tribe, the Dongqi border was lost one after another, and more than 20 cities were lost in one month. Qi Jie was furious because of this. If hundreds of officials hadn't stopped him, he would have I'm afraid I will have to lead the troops and conquer in person.

In addition, Qi Jinjue, in order to show his goodwill to Beiling, handed over the ten prefectures and counties bordering Beiling that he had seized from Dongqi to Beiling Laowang, and promised that if Beiling did not go to Dongqi In this muddy water, Xirong will be victorious in the future. All the 36 continents in the east and west hinterland at the bend of Linghe River will belong to Beiling. Xirong is willing to rule across Cangshan Mountain with Beiling.

Although King Lao Ling happily accepted this generous gift, he did not respond to Qi Jinjue. At the same time, he summoned 70.00% of the country's troops to ambush at the border, keeping secret.

Gu Yuchu spent three months recuperating in the military camp stationed on the border of Beiling. He had almost recovered from the remaining poisonous stab wounds. However, Hehe was destroyed in an instant. The fire in the east started a prairie fire, but Beiling shut down the fire across the bank and refused to send troops. This made her very angry.

"Why haven't you sent troops yet?" When she heard that Dong Qi had lost twenty cities in a row, she rushed into Ling Buhuo's camp in anger.

"What's the rush?" Ling Ziyu asked. At this time, he and Ling Buhuo were standing next to the sand table, deducing Xirong's march route and Dongqi's countermeasures.

"Hehe is in ruins, and the border war between Dongqi and Dongqi is raging. If Xirong captures Dongqi, then Beiling will be next. Do you understand the meaning of lips dying and teeth cold?" Gu Yuchu argued hard.

"You are such a cruel woman. How can a harmonious man be nothing? He is the God of War of Dongqi after all, so he can't be defeated so easily." Ling Ziyu continued to tease, while Ling Buhuo stood aside silently. .

"Then Beiling is going to watch the fire from the other side? Or if you accept the benefits, you can pretend to be deaf and mute and hide like a turtle." Gu Yuchu raised a cold eyebrow and pressed forward step by step.

"You should kiss that confused old man yourself." Faced with the ridicule, Ling Ziyu didn't take it seriously. Instead, he looked like it was not a big deal and teased his old father.

Ling Buhuo glanced at his brother, who was never serious, and actually nodded in agreement.

"What do you mean?" Gu Yuchu was a little angry, having no idea what kind of medicine the brothers were selling.

"I will set off back to Yunjing tomorrow." Ling Buhuo said, meaning that he wanted to go back and find out what the old King Ling was planning.

"Are you going back? Then I'll go back too." Ling Ziyu became anxious.

"What are you going back for?" Ling Buhuo asked, frowning.

"This military camp is full of stinky men. I miss my Xixi."

Ling Ziyu found an excuse at random. He had suffered a big loss from his brother, and he was really frightened. He had to be on guard. If he went back and set some trap for himself with the old King Ling, wouldn't he be passive?It's better to just keep an eye on this bastard.

"You have to stay to appease the soldiers' morale."

"If you don't send troops, how can you appease the morale of the military? Haven't I suffered enough from you? Are you secretly thinking about something bad?"

Seeing the two brothers having an argument that had nothing to do with sending troops, Gu Yuchu was really angry.

"Shut up, everyone." She cursed. No matter what status these two men had, in her eyes, they were all weaklings.

"Beauty, please shut up." Ling Ziyu pushed Ling Buhuo, who glared sideways at this guy who spoke freely and was stabbed a thousand times.

"I don't care whether you two cowards go to Yunjing or not, I'm leaving for Qiongzhou tomorrow anyway." Gu Yuchu said angrily. Her greeting was still necessary after thinking about it. After all, Ling Buhuo After helping her so much, it would be inappropriate to just walk away.

"Hey, you're a scolding woman." Ling Ziyu smiled mischievously, with a look of admiration on his face.

"The whole territory of Hehe has been lost, and the Xirong troops are strictly guarding every state and county. Are you looking for death if you go back now?" On the contrary, Ling Buhuo became anxious when he heard that she was leaving. He had planned to take her to Yunjing with him, maybe to eat and hang out. Going shopping can slowly help her get out of the shadow of Lanye's death and make her feel better.

"Shu Yuan is safe in Qiongzhou. Don't cause trouble." Seeing that the woman didn't respond, he continued to add.

"You don't have to worry about it!"

After Gu Yuchu said that, she turned and left, but she was not only worried about her brother, she also had unfinished business in Qiongzhou, so she had to go back.She also knew clearly in her heart that this man cared about her, but the more this happened, the more she couldn't control her willfulness and went against him. I'm afraid she couldn't explain the reason.

Looking at Gu Yuchu's back, Ling Buhuo stood there with a frown on his face. His first reaction was that this woman still couldn't let go of Qi Zhen. When she heard that he was trapped, she rushed to help him without stopping.

"What are you looking at? Chase him!" Ling Ziyu frowned and urged, mentally cursing him for his wooden fish head. They were all born from the same mother's womb. How could he have such an unfulfilled brother?

Ling Buhuo then followed him out. Gu Yuchu didn't care to enjoy the warm sunshine after noon in early spring, and went straight to his tent to pack his bags. Since he had already said hello, he might as well set off now.

Ling Buhuo followed her into her tent and ordered people to guard her outside.

"Aren't you leaving tomorrow?" he asked, holding down Gu Yuchu's clothes.

"Don't worry." Gu Yuchu pushed him domineeringly and quickly snatched his things back.

"Is your brain clouded by lard? Qiongzhou is really in danger now."

"I know."

"Know you're still going?"

"You can't catch tiger cubs without entering the tiger's den. Qiongzhou is Xirong's military reserve hub. If we can sneak in and disrupt its rear, we can also gain opportunities for the eastern frontline."

"Only you?" Ling Buhuo was very jealous, but he still suppressed it to avoid appearing to lose his bearing. "There are millions of people in the Hehe country. Naturally there are strong-willed people who refuse to surrender to power. Besides, there is also the Red Hairpin Girl Army."

"Since Xirong invaded Qiongzhou, the Hongchai female army has been demobilized and went home to marry. How can you make them obey your orders?"

"If you can convince one person, you have a [-]% chance of winning."

"Stubborn!"

"I don't know what to eat!"

What was originally a good conversation suddenly changed.

"If I had known you were going to die again, why would we have risked our lives to save you in the first place." Ling Buhuo clenched his fists, suppressing the helplessness in his heart.

Although he didn't mention Lan Ye, the wound in Gu Yuchu's heart started to bleed again, and her eyes became red. She hated her own incompetence for killing Lan Ye, and couldn't help shouting: "I want you to save me." What? Why do you want to save me!"

"That's not what I meant." Ling Buhuo knew that she had made a mistake and she still had some hurdles in her heart, so she resigned herself to it.

"Then what do you mean? Tell me!" Gu Yuchu asked with tears in his eyes and a rare pitiful look.

"I don't trust you to go to Hehe." Ling Buhuo had never seen her like this before, and he was even more at a loss.

"My brother is still in Qiongzhou, and I don't trust him!"

"The Embroidered Clothes Messenger has an extremely hidden station. Besides, he is not fighting alone. I can guarantee his safety."

"What guarantee do you take?"

"Shu Yuan wouldn't want me to put you in danger."

"Then you hurry back to Yunjing and lead an army to rescue us!" Gu Yuchu instructed with tears in his eyes, a little arrogantly.

Ling Buhuo was stunned for a moment, couldn't hold back, and laughed.

Thinking about it, this woman would not be so impulsive. It seemed that she had planned him into her plan early on. Thinking of this, he felt extremely happy in his heart. No matter how good he was in opening the frame, he was still not as good as Jin Shui Tower.

"Why are you laughing?!" Gu Yuchu noticed that she had lost her composure and immediately raised her eyebrows, but her tears were still half hanging on her cheeks.

"No, no, you have to leave?" Ling Buhuo gathered his thoughts and confirmed again.

"I have to go!"

"Okay, take this." He handed over a purple jade plaque with a hibiscus branch engraved on the front and the word "embroidery" engraved on the back.

"what is this?"

"With this thing, you can mobilize the embroidered messengers from all over Hehe."

Gu Yuchu then reached out to take it, but at this moment, Ling Buhuo took it back again.

"There is a condition." He said solemnly.

"Then put it away." She frowned slightly, obviously not buying it.

"Take it, Shu Yuan is waiting for you in Qiongzhou City." Ling Buyu curled his lips, and once again surrendered without any principle, and handed the jade token to her with both hands.

He was also confused. It was undoubtedly wishful thinking to let this woman take the initiative to give him news. But if she was willing to contact the embroidered messenger, he would naturally not worry about her whereabouts. So, he still put down his posture for peace of mind.

Gu Yuchu thought about it again and again and finally took it.

"I'm leaving!"

After packing the jade tokens, she picked up her bag and walked out of the tent like the wind. The thank you was stuck in her throat and she never said it out. Ling Buhuo couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he saw her resolute manner.

But not even a moment later, Gu Yuchu came back again. He was just happy that this woman had changed her mind, but unexpectedly she opened the door curtain and shouted at him: "I'll lend you your good horse."

"it is good."

"Also, if you don't want me to die, then quickly lead an army to save me."

"it is good."

Ling Buhuo understood and smiled.
