at night.

Mountains, fires.

The man in green clothes drank a few sips of wine, took out a book and read it carefully.

The two of them are busy with their own affairs and do not interfere with each other.

Suddenly, the man in green put down the book, looked at Kiyohara, and smiled and said, "It seems that this night is boring, why not talk to me?"

Kiyohara said: "It's all right."

The man in green clothes smiled and said, "I can see that the Qingyuan brothers are not ordinary people, and their conversations are not comparable to ordinary people. I wonder where they go?"

Kiyohara said: "I have nothing to do, so I can travel around."

"It's still pleasant." The man in blue smiled and said, "I think you are a capable person. Why don't you enter the court and serve the country?"

Qingyuan said: "Now the slanderous ministers are in power, and good ministers are suppressed. Isn't it a way to die when entering the court?"

The man in blue shook his head slightly and said, "That's not what he said. Even if he took a step back, it is precisely because the slanderous ministers are in power that good ministers need to rise up, assist the king, clear the king's side, and be upright."

"The king of Shu Emperor is not upright, so what's the use of clearing the emperor? Unless he is killed..."

Speaking of this, Qingyuan looked at the two people on the opposite side who suddenly changed color, immediately stopped talking, and asked, "On the contrary, since he is concerned about this, why not enter the court and serve the country?"

"presumptuous!"

Before the man in blue could speak, the guard who claimed to be Lao Ba behind him was furious.

"Old Eighth!"

The man in blue sniffed and said, "Don't be rude."

The Bald Eight looked angry, but he retreated.

"Brother Qingyuan is right." The man in green laughed, then looked at Qingyuan and said, "I said I was here to run for my life. Are you trusting?"

"So what if you believe it? So what if you don't believe it? Since you have already spoken, you will never speak nonsense, why don't I believe it?"

Qingyuan broke a dead branch from the side, threw it into the fire, and said, "Who isn't running away in this world? No matter the ordinary people, the powerful people in the court, or even the gods in the sky, they are all bad..."

The man in blue smiled and seemed quite happy. He pointed to the south and said, "But my situation is only because Jiang Baijian was too incompetent. He defeated Tianshui in his early years, and now he lost Nan'an and Qudao, and finally even went to Dongjo Pass. If this person hadn't been mediocre, why would Jiang have fallen to this point? In fact, the situation is still fine now. I am afraid that this person's defeat will ruin the great cause of Shu Kingdom for many years... By then, he will be punished by death."

The guard behind him wanted to speak but stopped, but he didn't speak.

Qingyuan said: "Why did Brother Jiang belittle the general so much? How could he be so guilty?"

"Haha, look..."

The man in blue shirt pointed to the south and said, "In the past, Ge Xiang was old and almost exhausted. The situation in Shu Kingdom was worrying at that time. If he died, not to mention fighting for the world, even if he preserved his original territory, it would be difficult."

Qingyuan's eyes were slightly condensed. He didn't know much about Ge Xiang, but he probably knew a little.

It is rumored that Ge Xiang’s life is approaching, but the situation in Shu is difficult to understand. So he used the methods and elixirs of the Taoist practitioners to prolong his life for five years. In these five years, the foundation of Shu was established.

Regarding the prolonging life, the man in the blue shirt naturally would not easily inform Yu Qingyuan. He just said with some emotion: "The Shu Kingdom has an unstable foothold. Ge Xiang has supported him for five years and has broken through many boundaries in Nanliang, which has established the current national and territorial situation."

Qingyuan looked south and vaguely understood what this person was referring to.

"The original land situation was separated by deep mountains and forests between Nanliang and Shu Kingdom, as if it was isolated. These mountains and forests were not suitable for large army movements, so they only need to be prepared for a little bit of defense. What really needs to be guarded is only those passes. Just guarding these places can easily resist foreign enemies and protect their territory."

The man in blue sighed: "It's a pity that Jiang Baijian first lost Tianshui and broke the situation. Now he has lost Nan'an, Qudao, and Dongzhao Pass one after another. All these passes have been lost. The Nanliang army entered Shu and broke the boundaries. The natural barriers in the deep mountains and forests are useless."

Qingyuan felt a little silent when she heard this.

The deep mountains and forests around Shu Kingdom are like city walls, while those passes are like city gates. Now that the city gates are broken, occupied by the enemy, and they drive straight in, the city walls will not have much effect.

"This fact cannot be blamed on Jiang Baijian." Qingyuan pondered and said: "It is only because after the defeat in the war, Shu Kingdom was weak, so he could only abandon Tianshui to avoid damage. Although this had already made a breakthrough in the situation arranged by Ge Xiang, it was also a helpless move... As for the successive defeats of Jiang Baijian, now he was defeated one after another, but it was rumored that he was defeated so tragically, and this was inevitable because Shu was worried about domestic and foreign troubles, and those slanderous ministers seemed to have harmed him in the rear."

The man in green clothes looked at Qingyuan deeply and silently said nothing. He thought that the young man in front of him was just an ordinary person, but now it seems that he knows a lot.

On the contrary, the bad-looking guard behind him calmed down a little after hearing these words.

"If you lose, you will lose."

The man in blue sighed and said, "This defeat has harmed many soldiers, people, and lives... And the defeat has just begun to appear. If the situation cannot be reversed in the future, then..."

Speaking of this, he sighed sadly.

Qingyuan said: "Brother Jiang seems to care a lot about these things?"

The man in blue sweared himself and said, "Family affairs, national affairs, and the world affairs are concerned about everything. People of us should worry about the country and the people."

As he said that, he bowed slightly to Qingyuan and said, "I feel it for a moment and I always want to talk to someone. Seeing that the Qingyuan brothers talk very well, I can't help but feel a lot of emotion. Please don't be surprised."

At this moment, suddenly the wind blew, the treetops swayed, and the flowers, plants and vines rustled.

"It seems that your and my conversation is about to be interrupted."

The man in green clothes spread his hands slightly and apologized: "Brother Qingyuan, I'm afraid you can't stay here."

Kiyohara looked up and said, "Is this going to let me leave?"

The man in blue chuckled and said, "You can just say that."

Kiyohara also laughed and said, "I burned this fire, I arrived first, I should always talk about coming first and coming later. It would be fine if you want to rest here, but it would be not good to drive me away."

"Bold!" Lao Ba shouted angrily: "If you want to leave, do you want to die? My eldest son... can you harm you?"

Qingyuan looked up at Lao Ba, then took his eyes back from him and fell on the man in blue.

The man in blue sighed, "I said, I'm here to run for my life."

Kiyohara said, "Are you afraid of implicating me?"

The man in blue clothes said, "It's something that has nothing to do with you. Maybe you are prideful of your skills, but the people who pursue me are extraordinary."

Kiyohara stood up and said, "I can see it."

He patted his clothes and said, "Well, then I'll leave. It's not that I'll get killed because I've set a fire here."

As he said that, he turned and left, gradually moving away towards the darkness.

The man in green clothes looked at the direction of Qingyuan leaving, showing a little strange look.

The old eight snorted coldly and said, "He is still conscious, but he is too brave."

The man in blue smiled and said, "Old Ba, you drove him away again. When he left, he disliked him timid..."

Lao Ba said, "That's what it is."

"No."

The man in blue looked there and sighed: "This is a truly calm and smart person. What I lack in is this kind of person."

As he said that, he suddenly stood up, pointed to the side of the forest, and said, "Who is the person coming? Under Hu Hao's name? Or under Yan Yu's command?"

The mountains and forests are silent, with only the sound of the wind whistling, which is slightly shrill.

"A group of people who hide their heads and tails also want my life?"

The man in blue sneered and said, "Kill me!" (To be continued.)
