Chapter 43:

Originally in front of Wei Yuanting, Jiang couldn't say much. After a while, Wei Yuanting's figure disappeared, and Jiang also mounted and followed Xue Ziqin. He was too sleepy before to open his eyes, but now he is not so energetic. He watched Xue Ziqin walking forward with a blank expression on his face. Some words in his mouth reached his mouth several times, but he swallowed them back.
He observed Xue Ziqin's face. Apart from the gloom that flashed when he heard the failure of Hanzhou, there was no more expression afterwards. He did not know whether Xue Ziqin was anxious or not, but he was now in a hurry.
After following the army for a while, Jiang finally couldn't hold back and asked, "General, Hanzhou ..."
Xue Ziqin frowned: "I know."
"Did the general care about them?" He couldn't care if he could say this for a while, and he shouldn't wait to ask.
Jiang also needs Xue Ziqin's position now.
In the military camp, on the battlefield, after coming to Qinguan to support the friendly army, after all these, he had an expectation for Xue Ziqin unconsciously. That was their general, and he was all-powerful. In this feeling, all expectations are subconsciously placed on Xue Ziqin. Now that Wei Lin's life and death are unknown, the first answer he wants to get is whether their generals will fight for their lives in safety.
But Xue Ziqin didn't speak.
Wei Yuanting's people are all around, and Xue Ziqin's people are behind him. In other words, he is now under Wei Yuanting's surveillance.
Jiang did not understand. In the face of Xue Ziqin's attitude, he was even more anxious and simply opened his head and asked, "Whether it is for my brother or not, they are your soldiers, do you care about them?"
Xue Ziqin raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Ye around him. His eyes were very complicated, and Jiang couldn't read them. In other words, Jiang Ye now has lost his ability to think. He ca n’t wait to follow Xue Ziqin to Hanzhou to rescue Wei Lin. But even so, that requires Xue Ziqin's order.
"Shut up, follow me back to Xiangcheng first." Xue Ziqin said.
"General! You can't see death and don't save!" Jiang also yelled at him, and there seemed to be some pleading in his voice, hoping that Xue Ziqin would lead his troops back to Hanzhou as he thought.
Xue Ziqin shook his head, sighed again, and went a long way, before slowly telling Jiang: "I can understand your mood, but I can't do anything right now."
Finally, he heard Xue Ziqin's answer, and Jiang immediately responded: "Isn't the general taking us with five hundred people and running away the Wuqu people? How can the general be powerless ?!"
"Don't be too naive, do you think it's really the fists who are the best in this world?" Xue Ziqin scolded angrily. "Jiang Ye, obeying the military order is the principle. The emperor wants me to return to Xiangcheng, and I will definitely go back. After following me for so many years, Hanzhou fell behind, and he was among them. Even if he would die in the hands of the enemy in the next moment, I would go back and wait for the next opportunity to avenge him. "
Xue Ziqin's voice became smaller and smaller, but the words were clear, especially the word "revenge", as if the situation is now as he said, he gritted his teeth.
For a time, various emotions lingered in Jiang Ye's heart. He looked deeply at Xue Ziqin for a long time, as if the bumps on his horse had disappeared. He just looked at Xue Ziqin, with surprise and disappointment in his eyes.
"I understand the truth." Jiang Ye said one by one, "But when a man dies, what is the use of revenge?"
"You are a sapling!"
After this sentence, Jiang suddenly pulled the reins and the horse stopped obediently. Xue Ziqin was still moving forward, and he looked back at Jiang Ye. I saw Jiang also salute him properly, then turned his horse head, waved his whip, and went against the big army: "Driving!"
Looking at Jiang Ye's back, Xue Ziqin didn't know whether to stop it.
But he knew that if he changed to himself a few years ago, he might be the same as him. When he heard the news, he drove him over. But now he can only go back to Xiangcheng according to the emperor's will.
The more you are in a higher position, the more you will know that this life is never your own.
Guo Linchong kept watching beside him, daring not to speak. Until Jiang also drove away, he stepped forward slightly: "General, do you need to chase it back?"
Xue Ziqin shook his head: "Just let him go. He alone can't raise any waves, I hope he knows what it means to retreat from difficulties."
"Isn't the general worried about Min Qiu?"
"He is a deputy general anyway. Doesn't Suiguo use it to get a little cheaper? Won't kill him."
Jia Da was seriously injured, and Jia Er had to take care of him. All he could rely on was himself. Jiang Ye didn't have any thoughts in his mind. All he had in mind was to save Wei Lin.
Jiang also ran all the way to the city gate and walked out to the border.
"Brother, where is Yan Hangu?" He asked fiercely with the gatekeeper.
The guard saw him wearing military uniform, and he didn't speak, raising his hand to point him in the direction. Jiang was too late to thank him and drove away in the direction of the man.
Follow this road along the border to Yan Hangu, which is much closer to the hinterland of Shangzhou in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the enemy. In addition to being unable to hold a bit of food to sleep, he was almost on the way all the way. He had little dry food left. Fortunately, Xue Ziqin sent people to Yuzhou to get some dry food and give it to them. Too little, otherwise it must be unsustainable at this time.
Running like this all the way, six days later, Jiang also arrived at Yan Hangu.
Yan Hangu's garrison, that is, Xue Ziqin's team is no longer here, so the gate of Yanzhou is still returned to the jurisdiction of Yanzhou Taishou. Yan Hangu was empty, and Jiang slept there. Fortunately, the battlefield was thoroughly cleaned up after the war. Those dead bodies had already been dragged together and burned, otherwise Jiang would have slept with a bunch of dead bodies at this time, even if he couldn't sleep well.
Jomo was so tired that he had been on the road a few days ago. He slept until night when he slept. Jiang also tethered the horses, and then used his memory to find the place where he went to the south of Hanzhou City with Xue Ziqin. Also anxious in his heart, Jiang didn't even care whether he would get water. Like last time, he found a slightly thicker wood and hugged it and went down into the river.
He still remembered that Wei Lin had explained to him that it was a downstream flow from Yan Hangu to Hanzhou. Even if it didn't move, it would be washed by water to Hanzhou. Just by rushing to Hanzhou, I am afraid that it would take more effort. Jiang also started to swing his legs when he got into the water. According to the way Wei Lin taught him before, it took a lot of time to successfully swim there. Ashore.
The night was murky, and the impression in my memory was vague. Jiang also recalled it over and over again, and finally found the place where Xue Ziqin put it on the wall on the south wall of Hanzhou City.
Jiang also looked hard under the moonlight and saw the depression on the wall.
But the depression was so subtle that it was difficult to settle. Seeing that it was near, but blocked by the thick walls, Jiang was both anxious and helpless. After a while, he could not think of any other ideas at all, but things were imminent and urgent.
In the end, Jiang also simply broke the jar and fell, and started to grab the depression. The first place was extremely high, and I had to jump up to barely reach it. Jiang also tried several times, only enough to grasp with his fingers, but his fingers were not strong enough, he grasped several times, and then let go because of his weak fingers.
At this time, Jiang Ye's stubborn temper came up. He jumped again, clasping the depression with his fingers, supporting the weight of the whole person. His fingers were so painful that he didn't let go, he just hung it on the wall.
A good start gave Jiang Ye some confidence. He has not grown completely for two months in the military camp. He has experienced so many things and was tortured by Xue Ziqin for so long. Otherwise, there must be toughness. Seeing that it could be hung on the wall, Jiang also reached out to reach the depression above. Fortunately, the scout was not such a metamorphosis in Xue Ziqin, the depressions were not far apart, barely able to reach. His feet are against the gap between the bricks of the wall, very reluctant, and he will immediately fall if he is not careful. At this moment he stretched out his hand to reach the depression, and his legs followed, trying to step on the place where he had grasped. This process is very painful. When you release one hand and one foot, the whole person hangs with the strength of only one hand. But he was absolutely reluctant to fall down and climb walls. The only thing he could do was to fall down. As the physical strength decreased, the difficulty would only increase.
When Jiang also climbed up most of the time, his fingers were full of blood and full of a terrible red because he was too hard. Although he could not see clearly at night, he could feel that his fingers were raised and weak, as if not his own. . The knuckles rubbed against the city wall, which had long been broken, and they kept bleeding.
Because of the pain, Jiang Ye's subconscious has been calling to let go of his hand. Jiang also immediately recovered, released one hand, pulled the knife he carried from his waist, and inserted it firmly into the brick. The wall of Hanzhou City was not rested for a long time. The knife was inserted into the crack of the brick immediately. Jiang also held the handle of the knife, finally relieved. If he could use a knife, he would probably go up quickly.
He didn't know how much time this work took. In short, when he reached the tower, Jiang Ye's hands were all bloody, and he looked like he was seriously injured. But he knew that the meat at the joints was just grinded, and it was not a big deal, but it must have been uncomfortable for a while.
Coincidentally, Jiang didn't know when there would be patrols above, and when he didn't, he could come up with the idea of ​​someone killing, but there was no one on the tower.
This was convenient for Jiang Ye. Jiang turned around and wanted to go down to the tower from the other side. When he walked to the side, he felt wrong.
Although he had taken off his armor before he went into the water, he was still wearing Xuanguo's costume, so he went in. When he met people, he knew he was a foreigner, but he was afraid that it would be bad. Jiang Ye thought about it for a while, then he hid in the side observatory and waited for someone to come over.
After waiting for a while, Jiang also heard footsteps.
He knew that it must take a death to ensure that they could not notify others. Jiang also listened carefully to the footsteps, faintly distinguishable as two people, he held his breath, very nervous, clutching the knife tightly in his hand, just waiting for the person to come over.
He clung to the wall of the lookout, and the two came from the other direction, waiting for them to pass.
The soldiers of the Sui Kingdom passed through the previous enemy attack, but they were a lot nervous. They were silent at the moment, just walking, holding torches in their hands.
The chance is only momentary, and he will die if he misses it.
Jiang thought so too, the knife in his hand had been raised to his neck. The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer. He stuck to the wall, and then saw the two pass by. The torch was not in the hands of someone far away from Jiang, but he didn't take a picture of him. The two went straight ahead.
good chance! Jiang Ye secretly said, and then stepped forward with one arrow, one knife in the neck of one of them, and the other hand in the shape of a knife, slashing down on the neck of the man next to him.
Succeeded.
The two Suiguo soldiers collapsed to the ground instantly.
Jiang also moved quickly, took the clothes off the undead soldier, changed it on himself, and drew a token from him. Jiang thought it in his arms without thinking. Then he pressed a knife to his throat, and the other hand pinched the other person directly, waking him directly.
"Don't call, or you will die." He said coldly.
The man naturally felt the cold tip of the knife on his neck, and understood that the man in front of him only wiped his neck with a slight movement. He looked at Jiang Ye in horror, daring to nod and speak.
"Where are the prisoners of Xuanguo? Hmm?"
"Me, I don't know ..."
"Say it?" Jiang also put a little pressure on his hand, and the tip of the knife cut the man's neck, bleeding.
The pain in his neck made the man tremble with fear: "I said, I said, locked in a prison ..."
After getting the information he wanted, Jiang didn't even think about it. He inserted the knife deeply into his throat. What did the man want to say, with a mouthful of blood pouring out of his mouth.
Jiang also pulled out the knife, wiped the blood on the blade of the body, and then quickly turned around and climbed down the city wall, successfully entered the city of Hanzhou.
