"Wow, wow, wow..." Countless crows flew through the sky with their wings, shattering the tranquility of the night to pieces.

Zheng Ziming stood under the starry sky, motionless. He was like a thousand-year-old pine, straight and quiet, turning a deaf ear to the crows that were clamoring above his head.

"Go down and have a rest! This place is remote enough, and the Khitans can't find it easily!" Shi Chonggui walked up slowly while stepping on the rocks, raised his hand, and put on a wool cloak for his son.

The night wind was not cold, and the wool cloak could not block the moisture in the mountains. But a hint of warmth surged on Zheng Ziming's back. Turning his head, he smiled at his father, and whispered: "It's not time to change the duty, and I'm not tired. Why don't you sleep for a while!"

"I'm old and can't sleep!" Shi Chonggui stretched his waist long and yelled in a low voice. "So I just wanted to come and see you, otherwise, I always feel like I'm dreaming!"

"It's not a dream, I'm standing in front of you. If you don't believe me, you can pinch me, or pinch yourself!" Zheng Ziming smiled and comforted him very considerately.

"Well, this idea is good!" Shi Chonggui nodded, really raised his hand, gently pinched his son's tanned face, and then pinched his thigh hard. It was not until a tingling pain surged into his heart that he grinned satisfied and whispered, "Well, it's true! I didn't expect that in my life, I could still see you and watch the stars with you freely. Erbao, there are so many days like humans, my father is content!"

"You, what are you talking nonsense? The days will be long in the future!" Zheng Ziming was shocked by the farewell intention of his father. He quickly lowered his head and stared at the other party's eyes and said, "Let's hurry up in the second half of the night. Before sunrise tomorrow, we can reach the junction of the Liaohe River and Sancha River. There is a large ship tied there, and there are five or six brothers watching it. They will never be washed away by the flood!"

"I know, I know!" Shi Chonggui looked up at his son, with a happy face. His son had grown up and became a hero who stood up. If he returned to the Central Plains safely, with his glorious deeds of fighting thousands of miles in Liaodong, even if he could not be named a king or a prime minister in this life, no one would dare to touch him again. The premise was that he would not threaten others' heroic career.

"Dad knows, you are confident enough to take your father back to the Central Plains!" Before Zheng Ziming continued to comfort him, Shi Chonggui quickly added, "But, Erbao, what should you do after your father returns? This time, someone must be unwilling to let his father go back, so he deliberately leaked your whereabouts to the people of Liao. If Dad goes back with you..."

"Not afraid, I have calculated carefully. The person who leaked the news should not be Guo Wei. Guo Wei is not that shameless!" Zheng Ziming smiled, with a bit of determination on his face. "Besides, the edict you passed on to Liu Zhiyuan has long been known to everyone in the world. If they could not even tolerate an old man like you, Guo Wei, who had no soldiers, would be too narrow-minded. What qualifications would they have to reorganize Jiuzhou? What qualifications would they have to retake Yan Yun from the Khitans?!"

"This..." Unexpectedly, his son spoke so domineeringly. Shi Chonggui was stunned. After half a night of words were prepared in his stomach, he could not even say a word.

Yes, if even an old man without power or soldiers has no mind to accommodate him, how could such a person be a good emperor in the Central Plains? How could such a foolish monarch drive the tiger and wolf men to reorganize Jiuzhou and recover Yan Yun? It is just a short-sighted clown. It is not certain how many days the emperor can sit in. After his son returns, he wants to have territory and reputation, and he has a group of brave and warlike brothers under his command. Why should he be afraid of him?

If Erbao raises an army to fight for the world? Suddenly, a fanatical thought surges from Shi Chonggui's heart, making his blood boil. However, he suddenly remembers the deliberate distance between the Shi family and the children and grandchildren of the Shi family after he was pushed to the throne, the rebellion of his uncle Du Chongwei, and the sufferings of the country and the family's destruction. The passionate blood on his body quickly became cold again.

"Second treasure, you will be in the future..." Shi Chonggui asked carefully with some temptation and fear, for fear that he would say a wrong word, which would make the father-son family affection that he had finally recovered instantly turn into fine sand and slip through the gap between his fingers.

"I don't have great ambitions, just be a military governor. At least I'm free. My sworn brother Chai Rong should be able to be a good emperor. I don't plan to fight with him!" Zheng Ziming smiled again, held up his father's arm, and while walking down, he responded in a low voice, "Besides, as long as he is here, no one dares to make an idea for me."

"I'm afraid it's the heart of the people..." Shi Chonggui hesitated for a moment and reminded him very unbearably. "Erbao, the imperial family, the imperial family has never had any affection. When I say the word "I" means loneliness and a single person, from then on, all my brothers became ministers."

"Not afraid, I still have Cangzhou, and the sea is east of Cangzhou!" Zheng Ziming's answer was still calm and firm, as if he had prepared a way out for a long time, without worries or fear. "Don't worry, I said that if you can save you, you will definitely save you."

"Seibao, you are ready..." Shi Chonggui was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to ask again, he saw Li Shun running up from the bottom of the mountain in a hurry.

"General, five miles away, a passing cavalry appeared." Li Shun'er, who was in charge of the night watch at another post, ran away sweating profusely, saluted Zheng Ziming from a distance and reported quickly.

"Don't hurry up and wake up your brothers, let me go and have a look." Zheng Ziming pondered for a moment, then responded in a low voice.

"Hey, hey!" Li Shun agreed repeatedly, stepped forward to support Shi Chonggui's arm for him, "You can go just and leave it to me, uncle!"

"Okay!" Zheng Ziming nodded at him, then pulled his legs away. As soon as he walked more than ten steps, Tao Dachun was already holding the sword and the skin shield and quickly chased after him, "What's wrong? What did Shunzi find out?"

"It's okay, I'll go out to the valley to take a look." Zheng Ziming shook his head and responded with a smile. Then, he gently patted Tao Dachun on the shoulder. "You keep resting."

Tao Dachun didn't say anything, slowly stretched his arm, and then continued to follow.

Zheng Ziming had no choice but to follow him. One by one, they walked about four or five hundred steps towards the entrance of the valley, then turned south for more than twenty steps, quickly climbed up two pine trees, and looked east.

A long red light dragon appeared quickly in the eyes of the two of them. It was hundreds of feet long, crawling forward at high speed in the wide wilderness. People shouted, horse neighed, and horse hooves hit the ground, one after another, and under the dark night, it seemed particularly noisy.

"The Khitans have learned their intelligence and no longer divided into small teams to cast nets everywhere!" Tao Dachun smiled, with a little smug look on his face.

The enemy troops in the distance were at least 3,000. Obviously, the Khitans learned the lesson of being beaten to pieces a few days ago, and gathered the team together, and no longer gave everyone the opportunity to attack. But the grassland is so big, the more the Khitans gathered the team, the wider the gap left. As long as the warriors in Cangzhou responded properly, they would definitely have the opportunity to get through the gaps between the two enemy troops and soar into the sky.

Just as he was thinking happily, Zheng Ziming's voice suddenly came from his ears, "Go back and wake up all the brothers. Follow these Khitans and follow them!"

"What?" Tao Dachun was startled, loosened his hand, and almost fell from the branch and smashed himself into pieces.

"It was dark under the light, and the Khitans rushed to the night, and we happened to follow him secretly. With them as cover, we can't use dawn tomorrow to get to the place where the ship is hidden!" Zheng Ziming reached out to catch Tao Dachun and quickly replenished.

"Good idea!" Tao Dachun woke up as if he was dreaming, and immediately admired him, "I'm going now, thanks to this group of diligent Khitans!"

According to their original plan, the big guy set out in the middle of the night and rushed quietly with the help of night cover. Along the way, you have to be wary of being heard by Khitan warriors, so you can't run too fast. Even if you arrive at the bank of the Liao River smoothly, it will be sunrise. Now, there are a group of free laborers who can set off in front of you, so you can reach the bank of the river at least one hour earlier. The darkness before dawn will become the best cover, and the chances of successfully boarding the boat will increase greatly.

Both of them knew that the opportunity was impossible, so they moved very quickly. After only half a cup of tea, they had already returned to their temporary camp, shouted the warriors one by one from their sleep, brought war horses, weapons and dry food, and slipped out of the valley quietly. Then, like a spirit cat hunting, they quietly stood behind a large group of Khitan soldiers holding torches.

"Grandma, it's midnight, I don't even let my sleep sleep. What's the point of doing it?" Under the long dragon made of torches and lamp balls, Yelu Damu, commander of the White Horse Camp of the Khitan Northern Road Army, drove away the flying insects with his hands while muttering.
