"Sir, are you okay?" Dongxue said worriedly.

Taoist Qingya also looked at Mu Qiuhuang with worry on his face.

"It's okay." Mu Qiuhuang said slowly.

What he said was not only addressed to Taoist Qingya and Dongxue, but also to himself.

At this moment, Can Yun walked up again, looked at Mu Qiuhuang and said cautiously: "Young Master, from the time the fireworks order was issued until now, the Tingzhou border troops should have arrived long ago..."

Can Yun didn't finish his words, but Mu Qiuhuang understood his secret reminder.

The Beiyu Army has an ironclad order. If the Blood Phoenix Banner asks for help, the sergeants must be rescued as soon as possible at all costs. Those who have violated this order have already paid the corresponding price. Since then

, no one dares to disobey this military order. And now...the Tingzhou border army dares to ignore this iron law. After receiving the order for help, it has not come to rescue. This has made it very clear.

It turns out that they have different intentions. In other words, until now, their danger has not been eliminated, and they may even face real danger next. The Tingzhou frontier army did not feel this at the first time, so they

It means that they wanted to borrow a knife to kill people. But now, the knife they borrowed has broken down. So, will they do it themselves next?

"Young Master, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time. I dare to suggest that we take a detour, right?" Can Yun said cautiously.

After Mu Qiuhuang thought for a moment, he said to Can Yun: "Everyone mount their horses and set off towards the border town of Tingzhou."

"Yes." Can Yun responded and began to carry out Mu Qiuhuang's order.

Dongxue also figured out the crux of the problem at this time, and said with concern: "Sir, is this going to be too risky?"

"I have no other choice, and no time to take another detour... I must know what happened at home as soon as possible?" Mu Qiuhuang said calmly.

In fact, Mu Qiuhuang has no choice now. "Eagle Dogs" will both prosper and lose. If this matter is really related to Tan Baiming, I am afraid that "Eagle Dogs" will all change. And the territories of the three of them are all in ruins.

It is at the outermost edge of the Nine Cities of Beiyu. In other words, if you want to go home, you must pass through their territory. And if the group of people who ambushed just now are afraid of them setting off fireworks, it means that Tan Baiming is very useful.

Maybe he was in a state of hesitation. Because Mu Qiuhuang remembered his father Mu Qingen's original evaluation of Tan Baiming, which was a typical military character. And Mu Qiuhuang also knew a lot about Tan Baiming. He didn't believe in Tan Baiming.

Bai Ming would really do such a thing.

Just when Mu Qiuhuang and his party were all mounted on their horses, preparing to advance towards the border town of Tingzhou, there was a sudden tremor on the ground, followed by the sound of horses neighing. Not long after, dust was flying, and a gun that touched about three hundred people was seen.

The cavalry roared towards this side. Looking from a distance, they saw this team, all white horses with silver armor and holding silver guns. However, the strange thing is that this team did not fly a flag at all.

"alert."

Following Can Yun's loud roar, the Blood Phoenix Banner soldiers who had just sheathed their swords and guns drew their swords out of their sheaths one after another, getting ready for battle.

When Mu Qiuhuang saw this team from a distance, his eyes narrowed and his brows furrowed. Although this team did not display a clear banner, but dressed in silver-armored white horses holding silver guns, the entire Beiyu except for Tan Baiming's

Besides the pro-army Qingqi "Fei Bai", who else is there? And if they don't raise a banner now, they just

is the strangest place. Furthermore, according to common sense, Tan Baiming should not be in the border town at this moment. Why did he appear in the border town? Is it possible to say that, as just guessed, this attack?

It was originally about the collusion between Bai Ming and the unknown cavalry. He originally planned to "borrow a knife to kill people", but now the knife he borrowed was broken, so he planned to do it himself?...Of course, these are just conjectures. But if not

If that's the case? Then why didn't he come to the rescue as soon as possible when Blood Phoenix Banner issued a first-level rescue order? Based on the distance from Tingzhou border town to here, one hour is enough. What's more, they

They are not ordinary border troops, but Bai Ming's light cavalry "Fei Bai", so normally, this time should be shorter. However, they are half an hour later than the expected arrival time of ordinary border troops.

.

"Young Master, when the cavalry is fighting, we need to take advantage of the situation..." Seeing Tan Baiming's light cavalry Feibai approaching from a distance, Can Yun couldn't help but say to Mu Qiuhuang.

Although the Blood Phoenix Banner is usually invincible, it does not take Tan Baiming's three hundred Qingqi seriously. However, the Blood Phoenix Banner has just experienced a fight, and now everyone is trapped, seriously injured, and their combat effectiveness is low.

Naturally, it cannot be compared with its peak. Therefore, in the situation of ebb and flow, Can Yun also has to seize all the powerful conditions for cavalry combat, and the momentum advantage brought by the galloping war horse is undoubtedly the greatest. Also

That is to say, if Mu Qiuhuang orders a charge now, the Blood Phoenix Banner can still use the momentum of the war horse to fight against him. However, once he misses this, if they really fight later, the Blood Phoenix Banner will undoubtedly lose.

Take the initiative.

Mu Qiuhuang naturally understands this truth, but he does want to take a gamble. He wants to take a gamble on his own eyesight. Until now, he still doesn't want to believe that Tan Baiming, whom he admires the most, will go against his father's wishes.

…

"Six hundred."

"five hundred."

"Four hundred."

While Mu Qiuhuang was thinking secretly, Can Yun was also secretly calculating the distance. Seeing Qingqi Feibai getting closer and closer, Can Yun couldn't help but remind him again: "For the last three hundred and fifty meters, please make a decision quickly, young master."

…”

"No need." Mu Qiuhuang stared at Tan Baiming, who was at the front of Qingqi Feibai, and said to herself, "I want to see what Tan Baiming will do?"

Hearing this, Can Yun had no choice but to give up! He slowly put down his right hand that was about to make a charging gesture. However, he did not sheath the sword, and was full of vigilance for the coming Qingqi Fei Bai.

Fortunately, Mu Qiuhuang made the right bet. Tan Baiming did not lead the team to rush up directly, but just like when he first greeted Mu Qiuhuang. When he was still a hundred meters away from Mu Qiuhuang, he shouted

He stopped the team, then slowed down his horse, finally turned over and dismounted, hurriedly ran to Mu Qiuhuang, knelt on one knee and said: "My subordinate's rescue was not successful, please forgive me, young master."

Seeing Tan Baiming's attitude, Mu Qiuhuang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He finally made the right bet. However, Mu Qiuhuang did not show anything, nor did he call Tan Baiming to stand up.

He said in a calm tone: "I don't understand something, please ask General Tan to clear it up."

When Tan Baiming came over just now, he naturally saw the human corpses and horse corpses all over the ground, as well as the only remaining blood phoenix flag sergeants behind Mu Qiuhuang who looked miserable... Therefore, he naturally also

He understood the origin of Mu Qiuhuang's anger. Therefore, he did not show the slightest dissatisfaction with Mu Qiuhuang's delay in calling him up. Instead, he said in a very calm tone: "Young Master, please tell me."

"Okay." Mu Qiuhuang's tone suddenly became sharp and said, "The reason I ask this question is to teach General Tan where is this place?"

"This is Tingzhou governed by my subordinates." Tan Baiming replied calmly.

"Do you still know that this is your Tingzhou?" Mu Qiuhuang sarcastically continued, "Where did you see the fireworks order?"

"Border town." Tan Baiming continued to answer.

"May I ask, how long would it take for the border troops to arrive from the border town of Tingzhou?" Mu Qiuhuang continued to ask.

"Under normal circumstances, it takes about an hour at the speed of ordinary border troops. But when the Blood Phoenix Banner's first-level danger signal for help appears, this time is relatively shorter than usual." Tan Baiming 15

Ten replied.

"Okay, very good!" Mu Qiuhuang nodded and continued: "This is the speed of ordinary frontier troops. So, how long will it take for the Qingqi Feibai you are leading?"

Tan Baiming heard this and replied with great pride: "Half an hour is enough. Qingqi Feibai is my subordinate's personal soldier, and it was built by my subordinate. In terms of marching speed, I am confident that Beiyu can

Except for the Blood Phoenix Banner, the rest of the army is not worth mentioning..."

"Really?" Mu Qiuhuang said with a faint smile, "Then how long did it take you this time?"

"An hour and a half." Tan Baiming answered truthfully.

Mu Qiuhuang looked at Tan Baiming and continued: "Let me ask you now, what will Sergeant Beiyu do when Blood Phoenix Banner issues a first-level danger request for help?"

"If the Blood Phoenix Banner asks for help, the sergeant must be rescued as soon as possible and at all costs." Tan Baiming continued to answer.

"Okay, very good, very good." Mu Qiuhuang clapped her hands and said hello three times in a row. In the end, her tone suddenly changed and she said in an extremely cold voice: "These are all questions I asked, and they were all said by you yourself.

The answer...my last question is, when the Blood Phoenix Banner issues a first-level danger call for help and the approaching army fails to rescue in time, what should be the punishment?"

"The supreme commander was beheaded in public display, and the remaining officers were all demoted one level and given fifty lashes. The ordinary soldiers were punished by three months of ringing." Tan Baiming continued.

With a "cang clang", Chu Xue in Mu Qiuhuang's hand suddenly unsheathed and placed it on Tan Baiming's neck. Mu Qiuhuang said: "Then I will chop off your head now. You shouldn't have any objections, right?"

"No." Tan Baiming said without hesitation: "Soldiers have a bounden duty to obey orders. Since my subordinates failed to rescue, they should accept punishment..."

After hearing this, Mu Qiuhuang withdrew his sword and helped Tan Baiming, who was kneeling on the ground. In fact, when Mu Qiuhuang pulled out his sword and put it on Tan Baiming's neck, he was not only observing Tan Baiming's reaction.

In addition, they were also paying attention to the "flying white" state of the three hundred Qingqi not far behind Tan Baiming. Fortunately, neither Tan Baiming's reaction nor the reaction of his three hundred soldiers were the same.

Mu Qiuhuang was disappointed. Tan Baiming looked like he was ready to kill at the slightest sign, and his three hundred soldiers did not move at all. Of course, if any of the parties just now made Mu Qiuhuang feel that there was something false, I'm afraid Mu Qiuhuang would

Huang Zhenhui chopped off Tan Baiming's head with one sword.

"Thank you young master for not killing me." Tan Baiming stood up and expressed his thanks.
