Although Li Su is a cripple in the use of war, when there are a lot of grudges, but a rare decisive time, and vice generals discuss a period of time, he made up his mind, on the one hand, he sent the vice generals to gather credible detachment captains to pre-emptive strikes, and on the other hand, he personally led the people to go to Yan Qing's tent to cut off the head, and finally will be unwilling to follow him on the spot to clean up, with provisions, and to go to join Yuan Shao who is currently short of food and grass.

The plan was good, when he and the deputy general really began to split up, the first setback - it was the night of the second night, Li Su personally led a team of elite soldiers killed the guards at the door without knowing twice, roughly broke into the tent where Yan Qing was, and was about to cut off the head of the man on his head, but saw that should be in the couch sleeping peacefully on the Governor has long disappeared, and only A glimpse of Qin Yi, dressed in linen, knocked out and thrown to the ground.

"Asshole!"

Li Su incredibly cursed a sentence, will Qin Yilu ruthless kick to wake up, under severe torture, but he also asked three, confused look does not seem to be hypocrisy, and this tent turned upside down, still no trace.

A chill ran down his back, and he furiously ordered his men to search the perimeter to find it, except to send for the adjutant.

In addition to Yan Qing is definitely the most critical part of the plan, the result is that I do not know where to go, the adjutant listened to Li Su can not hide the heart of the shortness of breath after losing his temper, and know that this is not good, his face immediately became white: "General is really sure that our plan has not been the cloth's eyes and ears to hear it?"

Li Su originally could still categorically deny, but now that the iron evidence of the leakage of information is in front of him, he had to be heavily suspicious of these credible guards around him, full of ferocity in their body back and forth scrutinized.

In fact, there is another speculation, is he and the deputy officer vaguely aware of, but not even dare to think about it: although he is a temporary rebel heart, but it is difficult to ensure that in the planning of a tent together with the divine Yan Qing insight, otherwise how to so calmly make a response?

The adjutant's body is covered with the blood spattered by the soldiers he killed just now. Hearing Li Su not say a word, he sighed deeply and said, "The wood has been turned into a boat, there is no way for us to retreat. According to my opinion, the general should quickly withdraw the search for Yan Chongguang's men and horses, order the soldiers to bring good provisions, this place is not suitable for a long time, when the rapid departure is."

Li Su's heart burst with fear and hesitated, "If we ask Yan Chongguang to inform Lu Bu about tonight's events--"

Seeing that he still had some luck in his heart, the vice general couldn't help but interrupt: "General, please think twice. The plan has already been exposed, what is the point of wasting time and men to find him out! After falling into such a passive situation, it is hard to believe that the general actually think that he is a fish on the chopping board, to be slaughtered, or Lu Bu does not learn from his mouth about the general's departure, there is no way to know? This can be said to be a big mistake! If Yan Chongguang still has other means yet to use, not waiting for Lu Fengxian to come to seek revenge, our lives will definitely end here!"

As his life was at stake, Li Su had no time to care about his rudeness, in fact, after this loss, both he and his deputy had a deep fear of the strange Yan Qing.

"So be it."

Li Su nodded hurriedly, go back to reorganize the men, no longer stay to pull out the fortress to leave overnight. Because of the killing of a lot of soldiers who refused to surrender, to bring provisions to the hasty march has become impossible, a lot of pain had to shed on the spot.

"The whole - army - follows - me, Li Su! "

Putting aside the fear and apprehension, Li Su shouted out the order, and at the end of the shout, he strangled the horse's reins with his frozen fingers, and when the horse moved forward, he couldn't help but turn back, and looked behind him at these listless soldiers with mixed feelings in his heart.

This look does not matter, precisely shocked to see immediately behind, the past days diligently, before the more loyal to offer advice to the adjutant suddenly eyes show killing, without hesitation to raise the sword horse, straight to him to kill, mouth sternly roar: "Kill--"

"What are you doing!"

Li Su liver and gall, can not believe that he is so anti treat him not thin self, did not first dodge, but chose to loudly question.

The other party ignored it, and in the blink of an eye, the cold sharp edge of the big sword had already brought the sharp whistle that tore the air, and pushed him straight to his face. Li Su sucked in a breath of cold air, instinctively backward to avoid, a loss of balance, then rolled from the horse to the ground in a mess, barely dodged the killing move.

With a heavy armor fell off the back of the horse, called him on the spot several broken ribs, mouth tasted familiar fishy sweet, luck is actually quite good, not by the frightened horse stepped on, it was the personal guards scrambled to help sit up, holding the restless army horse, and then as a dream, to die to defend the vice general subdued.

Li Su painfully vomited a mouthful of blood, before he had time to order the execution of the unprovoked madness of the vice general to kill him, he watched in horror as the eyes of the guards who had faithfully protected him in the last moment were filled with murderous intent, pulled out his belt knife, and shouted "kill -" like a madman in his mouth, and immediately The chest of his unavoidable to avoid the vitals to cut a solid.

Li Su's eyes rounded, and he gave a miserable howl.

Several of the troop's main generals suddenly killed each other in a ball, the soldiers underneath were scared silly, while Yan Qing, who had been missed by them for some heads, was actually staying quietly in the tail column at this moment.

He stood a great distance away from the center of the whirlpool, covering his lips with one hand as if he couldn't stand the soot and coughing, but in fact, he was expressionlessly throwing a card in his hand every now and then, using the soldiers' noisy chatter to hide his petulant laughter, and soon used all four cards in his hand to launch the distance-ignoring skill of disassociation, allowing these few backbones of the group that were helping Li Su to plot a revolt to initiate a duel.

Chopping not dead Li Su even if he life, but always have to let these few rebel core also have to die in the hands of their own Lord unknown.

Yan Qing eyes a cold, in addition to the chagrin of being hit, more is the remorse, and deeply hate their own powerlessness at this moment.

Blaming himself for being too stupid and careless, smugly interfering with the process in a haphazard manner on the basis of knowing some history, he ended up eating a fatal lesson and almost fell into the hands of these white-eyed wolves who by nature took betrayal as a family affair.

Not only did he almost lose his life, but he also failed Lu Bu's trust and wasted more than a thousand elite soldiers and provisions, so this time he will be heavily punished when he goes back.

But also he this self-righteous dog shit counselor deserved to be punished. Receive the army stick are no matter, even if the public beating called him lose face is also should, only hope to Lu Bu's violent temper, not annoyed to kill him a hundred, but also willing to give him the opportunity to make up for his sins, everything is good to say.

The reason why I was able to come back from the dead this time was not because I anticipated the enemy, but purely because I took advantage of being a night owl.

From before he crossed over, he brought the bad habit of sleeping late, and it was the first night of the official march, he had a heavy and many things on his mind, and he originally had a restless sleep, so he took advantage of the effort to speculate on some things before he fell asleep.

As a result, he heard from afar the dense and heavy footsteps approaching him from the direction of the main tent, Yan Qing judged that the visitors were not good, and without thinking, he knocked out Qin Yi, who was sleeping by his bedside, and put his helmet on, and without going out, he stood boldly close to the door of the tent, waiting for them to barge in in the darkness, and then slipped outward from this dead-end corner of his gaze.

He was also forced to do this. After all, the hand of cards on the kill, flash, peach this three, or in the exhaustion of a minute before refreshing, discrete this skill killing power, but can not be launched without a gap, have to wait for a little while to work.

Coupled with the fact that the remaining ones in the barracks were all willing to submit, it was definitely a dead end for him to try to fight his way out alone.

The good thing is that he is a rare tall man among the scribes, although it is not comparable to the giant like Lu Bu, but not much like a weak literati. In this mutiny, Li Su's adjutant led the men and horses to behead those who were loyal to Lu Bu, including many generals, and now this force is a temporary integration, and even the chiefs have died quite a bit, so it's not strange that they can't recognize all the soldiers underneath them, and he wore a military uniform and smeared a little bit of mud on his face, and then he mixed in with the grimy soldiers, and it was smooth and simple.

From Yan Qing's position, there was no longer any way to see Li Su, who had been surrounded and protected by the grass-roots personal guards, and without being able to lock onto a target with his line of sight, he could not activate his disengagement.

He waited patiently for a while, and his hand soon ceased to be empty, refreshing four cards out, yet he never saw Li Su's silhouette.

He is not entangled, first followed those who just to save their lives before surrendering, now see the situation is not good to stop can not stop the soldiers fleeing ran for a while, before leaving, but also took advantage of the chaos in the provisions abandoned on the ground threw a few torches so as not to cheapen the others, and touched a horse, until far from the main road, and then parted ways with them and sneaked into the forest.

After removing this bulky and hateful armor and wiping the black dust from his face with his long sleeve, he resumed his appearance as a fluttering scribe.

The night sky was clear, the stars shone brightly, Yan Qing forced himself to pull himself together, looked up and squinted for a while, identified the Great Bear constellation, then used its guidance to find the North Star, after recognizing the direction, gently patted the horse's neck, listened to it retch obediently, and continued to travel in the dark to the east.

There is no point in regretting. Today's plan is to get to Hongnong first and wait to meet up with Zhang Liao's team that is traveling behind.

Yan Qing played a good idea, but also clear thinking, and so the day dawn, tossing this night has been hungry he simply queued into Hongnong City, thinking to replenish some dry food and then go to that Zhang Liao they must pass through the mountain road and so on.

As a result, in front of a stall selling buns, he was pondering whether to buy a pure pork-filled one or a pork and cabbage-filled one, when a person behind him suddenly called out in surprise, "Isn't that person Mr. Yan Qing?"

Yan Qing handed the money to the shopkeeper and asked him to pack the bags, and then turned back unhurriedly, seeing two young Confucian scholars standing side by side not far away, one of them was quite tall, with a snow-white scarf on his head and a wide robe and wide sleeves, with a clear and handsome brow and eyes, holding an ink-tipped feather fan, which further contrasted with his fairness and elegance, and when he touched the line of Yan Qing's eyes, he couldn't help but smile apologetically, with a very gentle temperament and elegant demeanor; and the one who called him was his companion, who also had a valiant appearance, and looked at Yan Qing, confirming his suspicions. Turning back, confirming his guess, he couldn't help but joyfully leave his friends behind and salute him: ''Indeed, it is you, sir! It is indeed a great honor to see you here!"

Yan Qing's eyebrow jumped, it was really to see that although his appearance and temperament were not bad, but with the stargazers like excited people very familiar, a time is not good to respond, only a slight smile, also returned a salute, and bluntly told: "It is precisely in the following. Forgive Qing's rudeness, can I tell you your name?"
