"Neal!" Amid the high neighing of the horse, a team of cavalry wearing bright armor also appeared at the entrance of Beishan Village, and everyone's face was filled with solemnity.

This is a well-trained elite cavalry, and each cavalry's armor also has a blood-red triangle pattern printed on it.

Red Feather Guard, the personal guard of the Northern Mo Shenhou Mansion!

"I am from the Beimo Shenhou Mansion!"

"Mr. Hou... It's Mr. Hou who is here in person!"

"See Mr. Hou!"

When the villagers saw the patterns of the cavalry's armor, they quickly recognized them, and then they knelt on the ground one by one.

In front of the crowd, Chi Hong, the man in the Shenhou Mansion wearing a wide purple robe, looked at the villagers in front of him, and then looked at the white cloth hanging high in the village, and his face changed slightly.

"What happened?"

"Report to Mr. Hou, yes, the devil has come and killed our village chief..." After hearing Chi Hou's words, the villagers immediately cried.

After all, in the eyes of the villagers, the Beimo Shenhou Mansion is the pillar in the hearts of the Beimo people and an existence that can compete with the demons.

"Demon? Is it a demon?" Chi Hou's face changed, and then his eyes became cold: "Where is Yan'er? How is she? Are you in your Beishan Village?"

"Go back to Hou, the princess is at the Fang family."

"Hurry, take me here!"

"yes!"

...

A team of cavalry soon appeared at the entrance of the Fang family courtyard, which made the villagers surrounding the entrance of the Fang family courtyard give way.

Chi Hou obviously didn't care too much now, so he rushed into the Fang family courtyard in three steps at a time, obviously very anxious.

"Mr. Hou." A voice sounded at this time, and then Wu Yu'er, wearing a black gauze dress, also appeared at the door of the Fang family.

"Wu Yu'er?" Chi Hou frowned, then spoke again: "How is Yan'er? I heard that Yan'er was unconscious. Have you woken up now? Why didn't Yan'er come out to see me? Is there something wrong? Fang Zhengzheng? Where is that kid?"

A series of questions were asked from Chi Hou's mouth, and it can be seen that Chi Hou is really anxious now.

After all, Chi Guyan is his hope in his life and his greatest pride in his life.

"Mr. Hou shouldn't be here now." Wu Yu'er did not answer Chi Hou's question, but instead blocked the door and said.

"What's the meaning?"

"It's at least ten days from Jinlin City to Beishan Village. Master Hou hasn't answered me yet. Why did you appear here so soon?" Wu Yu'er continued to ask.

"Do I have to answer your question?" Chi Hou frowned slightly.

"yes!"

"Okay, the news that Fang Zhengzhi returned to Daxia had already spread throughout Beimo. My husband received a secret report that Yan'er was seriously injured and unconscious. Fang Zhengzhi would definitely return to Beishan Village as soon as possible. Therefore, I rushed towards Beishan Village ten days ago, ten days ago..."

"Where did Mr. Hou get the secret report?" Wu Yu'er interrupted Chi Hou and asked again without waiting for Chi Hou to finish speaking.

"This is a military secret. I naturally have my intelligence channels, so you don't have to..."

"So that's it." Wu Yu'er interrupted Chi Hou's words again, then frowned, and looked at the rising sun: "Yun Qingwu...is indeed amazing!"

"What Yun Qingwu? What do you mean...are you saying?!"

"Yesterday, a demon army appeared in Beishan Village and climbed over from Cangling Mountain. If I guessed it well, this time the demon race should not only be the one who launched the demon army. What do Chi Hou thinks I mean?"

"You, you..." Chi Hou's face suddenly felt sweat, his body trembled, and the wide purple robe was completely wet in an instant.

"Well, please come in!"

"I...I am now..."

"Mr. Hou doesn't need to think about it anymore. By the time Mr. Hou rushed back to Jinlin City, Jinlin City had already fallen. What Mr. Hou needs to consider now is how to apologize to Emperor Daxia."

"..." Chi Hou's mouth moved, wanting to say something else, but after moving his mouth for a long time, he still didn't say a word.

Because, he knew very well that if it was really as Wu Yu'er said, then the fall of Jinlin City would have become inevitable, and even a glimmer of hope would not exist.

After all, the opponent he faces is Yun Qingwu!

Moreover, most importantly, this plan was obviously decided by Yun Qingwu early in the morning. With the ten thousand precautions and the loss was nothing to say.

...

Three days later, Saint Tianxu rushed to Beishan Village and arrived at the Fang family courtyard as soon as possible. He checked Fang Zhengzhi, who was unconscious, and then shook his head without saying a word.

Two more days later, the village chief Zhang Yangping, Mr. Mo Cheng, and the twenty-three bodies found on Cangling Mountain were buried in the village behind Beishan Village.

For five days, Chi Hou stayed in Beishan Village, guarding Chi Guyan's room, and did not leave or walk out of the room.

Time passed quickly, and soon, another five days passed.

"Report, report to Mr. Wait, Jinlin City... Jinlin City is lost... it is lost!"

"I understand." Chi Hou looked at the sergeant kneeling at the entrance of the Fang family courtyard, shook his head gently, and then returned to the house again.

On a bed covered with animal skin, Chi Guyan lay quietly, her pale face had become extremely calm, but the rhythm of her breathing was very slow.

"Yan'er, my father is sorry for you, and I'm sorry for Your Majesty. As a father, I can't protect you well, and as a military guard, I can't protect the people of Jinlin City. My father is useless, useless..."

“…”

In the courtyard.

Wu Yuer, wearing a black gauze dress, poured a pot of flowers in the courtyard, and looked back at Chi Hou who was walking out of the house.

"Are you going to Yanjing to apologize?"

"Yes, please ask the Master Wu Sect to take good care of Yan'er. I am very grateful!" Chi Hou was slightly stunned, looked at Wu Yu'er, and nodded in the end.

"Is Mr. Hou going to take Chi Guyan away?"

"I am a sinner now. I'm afraid there is so much danger in Yanjing City this time. How can I still bring Yan'er?" Chi Hou's face was full of loneliness.

"Well, what I said is right." Wu Yu'er was not surprised too much. Then, she gently put down the water scoop in her hand: "When Mr. Hou is gone, aren't you really afraid that you will never see Chi Guyan again?"

"Yan'er, my husband..."

"I have a suggestion, I wonder if Mr. Hou is willing to listen?"

"Please tell me, Master Wumen!"

"Although Jinlin City has fallen, the foundation of the five Northern Desert remains. If Mr. Hou can issue a military order on the recapture of Jinlin City, the troops of the five Northern Deserts must be reassembled. In the current situation, as long as Mr. Hou has an army in his hands, how can Yan Jingcheng dare to sue Mr. Hou?"

"What do you mean? Do you want me to treason?!"

"Haha, Mr. Hou is a smart man, why is he so ignorant? Why is Mr. Hou so stupid? It's better to think about it carefully first, and he will naturally understand what I mean soon."

"..." Chi Hou was silent, frowning, but soon, his eyes lit up slightly, and his fists even clenched: "Do you want me to make me guilty?"

"Mr. Hou really understands it at one point. Let me ask you, in the whole of Daxia, who can know Beimo better than Mr. Hou, and who can lead the army of the Five Northern Deserts more than Mr. Hou? I think Mr. Hou should understand what I mean very much. If Mr. Hou goes to Yanjing like this now, then even if the Emperor of Daxia doesn't want to kill you, under pressure, he still has to be punished. Even if it is the lightest crime, he will probably be imprisoned to be tried. By then, the Five Northern Deserts will probably really become the territory of the demon clan." Wu Yu'er continued.

"So, do you want me to assemble the army and retake Jinlin City?"

"No, since Yun Qingwu has taken action against Jinlin City, it is impossible for Mr. Hou to retake Jinlin City in a short time. What I mean is just to forbear Hou for a while and preserve the strength of the five palaces of the Northern Desert." Wu Yuer shook her head.

"Do you want me to watch the people of the five palaces of the Northern Desert suffer and hold their troops here?! This is impossible!" Chi Hou shook his head without thinking.

"Mr. Hou can consider it yourself, whether to choose to preserve the foundation of the five northern desert palaces and wait for an opportunity to act, or to make fearless sacrifices now." Wu Yuer said casually.

"Wu Yu'er, you... OK, let's talk about your plan first!"

"First, I came to Yanjing City with a decree to seek credit. I said that you have used Jinlin City as bait to control a city of demon soldiers. Please send troops and food to Yanjing City to help you encircle and suppress it!"

"I lost Jinlin City, do you want me to ask for me for the decree?!"

"Does Mr. Hou want to apologize for guilt? If so, the imperial court's decree will be issued soon. If Mr. Hou loses his post as a military officer, he may really become a rebel."

"..." Chi Hou's lips moved, his brows were frowning very tightly, and his fists were even whiter. But after a moment, he looked at Wu Yu'er again: "What should I do after I asked for the decree?"

"Mr. Hou lost Jinlin City, anyone with a discerning eye can see that at this time, the court naturally cannot approve the imperial court. I am afraid that if Mr. Hou's decree goes up, the officials of Chaoyan will already know Mr. Hou's rebelliousness. If I guess correctly, there should be court officials who will kill Mr. Hou and then soon."

"You continue to say!"

"If it were the usual, the court would have sent troops to suppress him immediately, but under the current situation, the court could not do this, and he did not even dare to issue an order to surrender to Mr. Hou, because they must be concerned about the troops in the hands of the army, and it would never be possible to force Mr. Hou to rebel at this time!"

"Continue talking!"

"In order to appease Mr. Hou, the court can only acquit your request for merit. In this way, Mr. Hou will still make contributions in the open, and will still be the military officer of the Five Prefectures of Beimo. The military officer of the Five Prefectures of Beimo is still under the command of Mr. Hou. Although the court will definitely use various words to not send troops to Mr. Hou or send grain, on the contrary, Mr. Hou can take advantage of the reason that the court does not send troops or food to him to maintain health in Beimo. Moreover, the most important thing is..."

"What is it?" Chi Hou asked anxiously.

"Do you think the emperor is a foolish and incompetent person today?"

"Bold, the wise and wise are always clear in rewards and punishments. How could he be a foolish and incompetent person!"

"That's right. Master Hou has always been loyal to the Daxia Dynasty. Now he has suddenly committed such a traitor. Do you really think that the current emperor will not be able to guess the meaning of it?"

"This... I understand. No wonder the Shadow Sect can become the first sect in the Great Xia territory. I have indeed received teaching today. I have thanked the master of Wu Sect here!" After Chi Hou said that, he also bowed to Wu Yu'er, then turned around and left the Fang family courtyard, and quickly walked towards the place where the Red Guards of the village were stationed.

Wu Yu'er slowly turned around, and looked at the square and upright lying on the bed inside the house, and a hint of darkness also rose in her black eyes.

She knew that Chi Hou had accepted her suggestions, and as the leader of the Shadow Sect, she actually did not need to participate in the military and political affairs of the Daxia Dynasty.

But she still participated...
