Hearing the sound of trumpets from the Tubo military camp, Su Dingfang pulled Yuchi Gong and shouted, "General, retreat! Instead of fighting with him, we should take a detour and retreat to the middle section of the Hexi Corridor, and wait for reinforcements from the court to come again!"

"Don't retreat!" Yuchi Gong roared, "You want to retreat, you will take your people to retreat! I have never retreated in the last few years."

Su Dingfang looked at Yuchi Gong's death, and looked anxiously at the Tubo army that was constantly integrating in the distance, "General, offended! I can't watch so many brothers die in vain, let alone watch the general die."

Su Dingfang picked up a stone from the rubble on the ground, knocked him unconscious when Yuchi Gong was not paying attention, and shouted to the soldiers around him, "Retreat!"

"Retreat!" The echoes came from the army.

The soldiers began to withdraw from this battlefield in an orderly manner. Su Dingfang carried Yuchi Gong and looked at the dark clouds in the sky, and looked at the direction of Chang'an, with his eyes unyielding and regretful, "Gu Qing, come quickly, you really can't hold on if you don't come."

There was no drop of rain falling in the cloudy sky. Tubo first used herds of horses and sheep to clear mines, and then let the elephant herd charge towards the Hexi Corridor.

Until the night wind blows this silent battlefield after the smoke of gunpowder blows, Su Dingfang kneels in front of Yuchi Gong on one knee in front of him, "General! If you want to deal with it, deal with me, don't implicate the soldiers."

"You are so brave!" Yuchi Gong roared angrily, "Do you still have military laws in your eyes?"

Fang Yiai's armor was covered with blood. The first time he came to the Hexi Corridor to experience the battlefield for the first time. He listened to Su Dingfang Yuchi Gong's words to close his eyes against the tent bracket. He wanted to sleep so much that he had been in the Hexi Corridor for two days and two nights.

Su Dingfang knelt on the ground without saying anything, allowing Yuchi Gong to scold him with a sword. The soldiers in the military camp all looked tired and lying on the ground in armour who could sleep. Some soldiers were gnawing half-cooked potatoes with their eyes blank. Everyone was exhausted and could not be beaten.

Chang'an

After Gu Qing finished talking to Li Er, he walked step by step in the magnificent palace. Li Tai heard that his father summoned Gu Qing and had been waiting outside the palace gate. He had been seeing Gu Qing's figure before he met him, "Gu Qing, what did the father say?"

"I'll go to the Hexi Corridor." Gu Qing looked at Li Tai and said, "Don't worry, this time I made Songtsen Gampo never get the knife anymore, and waited for me to capture him alive in front of the Tai Chi Palace and apologize to us."

"Are you sure?" Li Tai asked.

"Don't worry." Gu Qing smiled and patted Li Tai's shoulder, "If I really can't beat me, I will definitely be the first to escape back to Chang'an."

"Hehe..." Li Tai also smiled.

Walking out of the palace, Gu Qing came to Fang Xuanling's home and came to Fang Xuanling again, "Teacher, I'm going to the Hexi Corridor."

"I expected it was you." Fang Xuanling looked at his student and said, "It's time for you to stand up if you change the old generation of people."

"Teacher, do students need to explain a few words to Brother Fang's affairs?" Gu Qing asked again.

"It's nothing to say." Fang Xuanling whispered, "Tell him, come back alive, so do you."

"Yes! The student understands." Gu Qing bowed to Fang Xuanling.

When he returned home, Gu Qing talked about something to Wu Mei. Wu Mei looked at her husband, "Husband, the wind and sand in the Hexi corridor are strong, so please protect your eyes."

"Yes." Gu Qing nodded.

The atmosphere at home was very heavy, and Gu Qing was going to go to war again. Wu Mei asked the maid at home to buy something for Gu Qing to travel. Gu Qing has been with Wu Mei for the past two days, and the two were tender before they parted.

Yang Sheng brought his own sword to take Wang Yuan and the child to Gu Qing's home and prepare to set off.

Gu Qing said patiently to Wu Mei, "You ask Wang Yuan and Di Renjie to help you with the family affairs. The monk will stare at Changsun Wuji. Zhang Yu Palace and our people will stay in the village to protect their homes and villages. If anyone comes to covet the village, please let Di Renjie pass on the message to Zhang Yu Palace, and you will never tolerate it."

"For things in the court, you can find my teacher Fang Xuanling, as well as Li Tai, Uncle Cheng, and Uncle Niu. Our family has good connections. Sister Yue from Hulou, you can go around more, but if you can't make a decision, find Fang Yizhi or Fang Xuanling. Don't bother Sister Yue until you have no choice, because you are not familiar with her."

"I understand everything." Wu Mei looked at Gu Qing, "Come back safely."

"Well, I will come back safely." Gu Qing also replied.

Sun Simiao brought a bunch of medicines to Gu Qing, "These are medicines to treat trauma and wind and cold to drive away heat. You must save your life."

"Master, don't worry!" Gu Qing said with a smile, "I will definitely come back alive and set up a great Taoist temple for you to prepare a large group of masters to serve you."

When Sun Simiao heard this, he waved his sleeves in disgust and said, "Go early and go back early."

"Okay!" Gu Qing replied echoingly.

After explaining everything at home, Gu Qing and Yang Sheng turned over the horse. Princess Changle stood outside the Taoist temple and looked at Gu Qing who was about to be inside. Gu Qing also noticed Changle, and the two looked at each other with their eyes.

Gu Qing came back to his senses and patted the horse under him, "Go!"

"Helping!" Yang Sheng also rode his horse.

The villagers all walked out of their homes to watch the county waiter leave the village.

"What should I do when you leave Changsun Wuji?" Yang Sheng said with his horse.

Gu Qing's face was calm, "Some people are alive, but he is dead, some people are alive, he should have died long ago, and some people are alive, he is not far from death."

Three miles away from Chang'an, the troops from the governments and garrisons from all over the country gathered here, and all 50,000 soldiers had arrived.

Gu Qing grabbed the reins and let the horse under him stop and turn over and dismount. Seeing Wang Qin coming with a large group of people, Wang Qin smiled and said to Gu Qing, "Mr. Gu, these people are all from the Firearms Bureau. Now they are all handed over to Marquis Gu, and there are three thousand kilograms of explosives and more than five thousand landmines."

"Okay!" Gu Qing nodded.

Among the people from this group of firearms bureau, another eunuch came out and said to Gu Qing, "Mr. Gu, I am Wang Jin!"

Wang Qin also introduced, "Marty Gu wants to make something to tell Wang Jin."

Li Er was still on guard against himself. It seemed that only Wang Jin could command these fire-making people. Wang Jin said to Gu Qing, "The eight thousand people of Marquis Gu are all mute and illiterate. Marquis Gu is afraid that it will not be easy to use. I will command it next time."

All eight thousand people were mute. Gu Qing looked at them, Li Er and he really tried his best to do it. He didn't know if these eight thousand people were born mute or were tortured into mute. Gu Qing felt regretful when he looked at them.
