This is the second time the two sides have fought, so there is a lot less verbosity.

Hong Daliu immediately sent a middle-aged general, who was tall and tall, and the weapon in his hand was a copper rod.

And Soto also sent a general.

The two fought for less than fifty rounds before Hong Daliu's man knocked the other off his horse with a stick, which was the beginning of the fight between the two sides.

"kill!"

Hong Dali gave the order, and the people behind him began to rush forward.

However, what is strange is that less than half an hour after the two sides fought, Hong Dali ordered a retreat.

Moreover, they retreated even though they had an absolute advantage.

Hong Dali retreated very quickly, as if he was afraid of being caught up.

Originally, Soto was still fighting hard, but when he saw this scene, he couldn't believe it.

Just when he was about to lead his men to pursue him, a signal from Ming Jin to withdraw his troops came from the tower.

After withdrawing the army, Soto hurriedly ran to the tower.

"Master, what play are they singing today?"

"I don't know either. It's very strange. They clearly have the advantage. I'm already preparing to use artillery, but why do they suddenly withdraw?"

"Leader, are they trying to lure the enemy deeper?"

"No, if you want to lure the enemy deep in this way, it is too low-level, and it is simply stupid. The person sent by the imperial court is General Hong Dali from the South Road Camp. This person is not simple. His father's name is Hong Zhenwei. He was once a man

He led thousands of men to drive away 100,000 enemy troops in northern Xinjiang. He is called the God of War. Hong Dali is his son. A tiger father has no dog son."

Soto nodded and said, "Then what do they mean?"

"I can't tell. Let's wait and see what happens. I'll tell you to go down and prepare to allocate some food and grass from Lijiang City. The situation in the other two places is not optimistic."

"Leader, I will do it now!"

"Go ahead."

Chi Zhongtian wore the clothes of the person sent from Qiu Chan to deliver the message, and took advantage of the chaos during the battle between the two armies to blend into the enemy troops in Lijiang City and enter Lijiang City easily.

Then, when no one was paying attention, he slipped aside, found a secluded place, changed his clothes, and buried them under a big tree.

Lijiang City was full of people from the Fuyu Sect. In order not to be recognized, he simply put on a disguise, glued on some beard, and made his face a little dirty. Then, he found a restaurant

, I’m going to have something to eat first and also get some news.

There were only two or three people eating in the restaurant, and the waiter was leaning listlessly in front of the counter, squinting and taking a nap.

"Man, man!" Chi Zhongtian shouted at the top of his voice,

"Shout whatever you want!" The waiter was suddenly woken up and was very unhappy.

"I want to eat!" Chi Zhongtian said deliberately and carelessly, and then sat down at the table with his legs still on the stool.

"What to eat."

"Eat whatever is cheap."

"Dry flour pancakes and pickle dumplings are the cheapest."

"Okay, give me half a pound of dry flour pancakes and a plate of pickles. Is there any hot soup? Give me a bowl."

"You wait!"

After a while, the waiter brought everything.

Although the food tasted terrible, Chi Zhongtian still enjoyed it.

After a while, he was the only one left in the restaurant.

"Dude."

"What's up?"

"Look."

With that said, Chi Zhongtian opened his palm, and a silver ingot suddenly appeared in his palm.

When the store clerk saw this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he came over immediately.

"Man, I want to ask you something."

Upon hearing this, the store clerk's eyes suddenly dimmed.

"I said, you look like a foreigner at first sight, don't do this, I don't know anything, and don't ask me, have you finished eating? Just leave as soon as you finish."

"Man, don't get me wrong, I just want to ask..."

"I told you, don't ask me, I don't know anything, don't you understand?"

"All right."

Chi Zhongtian didn't expect this guy to have such an attitude. He was worried that if he continued to pester him, it would arouse other people's opinions, so he left in a hurry.

After leaving the restaurant, Chi Zhongtian thought that he could only wait until night to visit the Yamen in Lijiang City.

He still vaguely remembered the way to the Yamen.

At night, Chi Zhongtian walked toward the Yamen alone.

As he walked, he discovered something was wrong.

Because the further you go, the fewer people there are.

Not long after leaving, there was no one left on the street.

Chi Zhongtian did not dare to walk on the road, because if he continued walking like this, he would definitely be discovered.

In the middle of the night, it was hard not to be discovered by just such a person.

He had no choice but to use the old method of walking on the roof.

But even so, Chi Zhongtian was extremely careful and did not dare to make any sound.

After walking along the roof for a while, he heard footsteps.

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be a group of people patrolling back and forth on the street.

Sissoari happened to not return to the county government that night, but stayed at the city gate. He did not dare to be careless now, for fear that Hong Daliu would lead a sneak attack in the middle of the night.

Qiu Chan has been very busy these days. She has been busy until now, and she is finally finished.

Soto came to Qiu Chan half an hour ago to arrange the allocation of grain and fodder, but Qiu Chan refused because he did not have Sisoari's password, and did not give him any face. Although Soto was angry, he did not dare to offend Qiu Chan.

, in desperation, he could only run back and get Sissoari's warrant, and Qiu Chan made arrangements for him.

After finishing this matter, Qiu Chan ate a few mouthfuls of rice and planned to go for a walk outside, because there might be something else going on in the second half of the night.

Just as she walked to the backyard garden, suddenly she felt someone.

There are no guards here in the middle of the night, because Sissoari is not a person who likes to enjoy flowers and grass, so the garden has always been deserted, and only the cicadas will come to take care of it when they have nothing to do.

She quickly turned the wheelchair and was about to walk back. At this moment, she felt someone suddenly fall behind her.

"Don't make a sound, Qiu Chan, it's me."

Just when Qiu Chan was about to scream, a big hand covered her mouth.

Because of the exclamation, all the cicadas ignored the sound and began to struggle.

"Qiu Chan, I am Chi Zhongtian."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Chan's hand suddenly stopped.

Then, the hand covering his mouth was released.

She quickly turned around and took a look. Although she couldn't see clearly through the moonlight, it was enough.

"Master! Why is it you!"

"Qiu Chan, stop talking and come here."
