The grassland near Yelongshui stretches into the border of Xiliang, and the division line of the disputed area is an unknown mountain. To be said to be unknown, the Liang Dynasty did not name it, but the people of Xiliang have long called it Liubo. The Liubo Mountain in the mouth of Xiliang people is not steep, and pine trees are planted all over the mountain. There is only one kind of tree. Some pine trees even require a few people to embrace it. Under the cover of snow, the pine needles are still green.

"Let's go!" Song Mi walked to Xuan Shaoning and pulled him. The two walked side by side towards the mountain. Because there were few people walking, Liubo Mountain had almost no place to directly take off, but because almost no one was involved, as the mountain grew, the mountain scenery became more and more gorgeous, and the white snow and the green pine were in harmony.

If it were in normal times, it was really worth visiting the scenery, but now the reality is in front of him, Xuan Shaoning had no mood to appreciate it. He felt heavy in his heart, and he kept his head down and searched for suspicious footprints in the snow.

"Do you still remember the reconnaissance technique I taught you?" Song Mi's sudden question made Xuan Shaoning withdraw all his energy from exploring the snow.

"Remember...ah." Xuan Shaoning was a little confused. Seeing Song Mi looking ahead with a natural look, she vaguely felt that the Soldier hadn't been looking for clues, right?

"Now is the time to use the scouting skills you have learned."

"Yes, Sergeant Commander! The last general has already divided the difference between the footprints of the two armies. Now we are to check whether there are footprints covered by snow."

"If you were on duty on the day and according to the usual arrangements, you would have come to this mountain?"

"It is mainly to collect grass. There are only pine trees on the mountain, so I feel that I don't usually go up the mountain."

"Since our army can be ruled out to go up the mountain, then it is possible that the only ambushers from Xiliang are ambushing on the mountain, right?"

"What the sergeant said!"

"You turn around and look down at the mountain."

Although it was in the fog, Xuan Shaoning still did it. He looked back at the foot of the mountain and Mu Ran found that he had climbed almost halfway up the mountain. The difficulty along the way was really only experienced by myself. The mountain was covered with thick pine needles and snow. Every step he stepped on would leave a clear pit of deep and calves on the ground.

"Without anyone's guidance on this mountain road, you took the initiative to choose. Where did you come from?"

"I......."

"Because you judged at the beginning that this section of the road is the best way to go."

Xuan Shaoning suddenly nodded in shame.

"Looking at this position, this section of the road is indeed the easiest to go up and down. So if the Xiliang soldiers lie on the mountain and want to be caught off guard, should they choose the easiest mountain road?"

At this time, Xuan Shaoning finally understood what Song Mi meant, but after grabbing a little of the tail, it felt like he had already felt the direction of the wind but still couldn't find the wind.

"Look at the footprints we came up again. Every pit is so deep. Even if it snows all night, the snow later is not enough to cover these pits."

"Oh! The general understands that if the Xiliang soldiers were really ambushing the mountain, they would definitely leave obvious footprints. But after we walked this way, the surrounding snow was as complete as before, that means..."

Song Mi smiled a rare moment. This was the first time Xuan Shaoning had seen him laugh since July. It turned out that even if the ice-like face was slightly lit, it would make people feel like spring light.

"Then... why didn't the sergeant stop me from the beginning?"

"Where can you remember the practical things in empty words?"

"Thank you, Commander!"

"Okay, let's go down the mountain."

The two were about to turn around and walk down the mountain, but they obviously felt a gust of wind blowing behind them. The two quickly turned around, and Song Mi pressed the hilt of the knife with his hand and Xuan Shaoning had already pulled out of the sheath. But the scenery in front of them was still as they had seen just now, no different.

The sharp-eyed Song Mi pointed at a pine tree that was one person away from Xuan Shaoning. Xuan Shaoning noticed that a small piece of snow fell from a branch of the pine tree, revealing the pine needles inside it.

Sure enough, someone! As soon as Xuan Shaoning swallowed his saliva, a figure flashed across his side. In an instant, it was a primitive reaction. Xuan Shaoning immediately chased after him, and shouted "There is something!" Song Mi looked embarrassed and quickly chased Xuan Shaoning.

"Soldier Commander! Shaoning!" Cao Tie, who was at the foot of the mountain, noticed the abnormality first. This time he shouted in a low voice. Xing Gang ran past his side and said, "What are you shouting, why don't you keep up!"

The mountains have accumulated a lot of dead branches and leaves, and it is even more difficult to walk after the snow, let alone run away. Fortunately, the seventh year of the academy and the July training in the army made these difficulties not a big obstacle for Xuan Shaoning. The real opponent is the extremely agile figure. Even if he struggles to catch up, what Xuan Shaoning can see is only the afterimage left after a flash.

Who is this person? How good is he? Xuan Shaoning was wondering, but Song Mi, who had been following closely behind, felt something was strange. While running quickly, Song Mi looked down at the footprints on the snow, but was surprised to find that there were only two rows of footprints in the snow, and there was no doubt that they belonged to Xuan Shaoning and himself, which means there were no suspicious characters at all!

"Shaoning! There are no footprints on the ground!" Song Mi realized that they might have been trapped. At this moment, he focused all his energy on Xuan Shaoning who was running in the front. If there was a trap in front, then Xuan Shaoning was undoubtedly the most dangerous!

"Shaoning! Be careful!"

Xuan Shaoning heard Song Mi's shouting, and lowered his head to look at his footprints without thinking. Almost at the same time, a gust of wind whistled past his neck, and the speed was so fast that it did not give anyone any chance to hesitate.

"ah!"

This is Song Mi's voice! Xuan Shaoning only felt that someone pushed him from behind after the gust of wind. After falling to the ground, he immediately looked up and looked back. What he saw in front of him almost stopped beating, and Song Mi was injured!

Xuan Shaoning rushed to Song Mi's side as fast as possible and quickly supported Song Mi's slowly falling body. "Captain? Chief! What's wrong with you?" Xuan Shaoning shouted, and saw the blood oozing out of Song Mi's chest at a glance.

This? Xuan Shaoning couldn't believe his eyes. When he looked at the wound carefully, he was even more shocked. The wound was obviously an arrow wound. The arrow was narrow and sharp, leaving only a hole the size of a soybean in his chest. Although the wound was small, the position was extremely accurate. It happened to be in the heart of his right chest, and blood flowed out from it. No matter how Xuan Shaoning covered it with his hands, it still had little effect.

Song Mi was caught in an arrow?!How could it be? When? What about the arrow? Xuan Shaoning instinctively looked up and looked around, and saw an arrow shaking on the trunk that was only three steps away from them. The sword was dark green all over. It turned out to pass through his body!

"Soldier Commander! Brother Song!" Excessive nervousness made Xuan Shaoning's face flushed, and sweat kept dripping from his forehead. His instinct told him that Song Mi was extremely injured! The most important thing he is to take Song Mi back to the grassland as soon as possible, even if there are enemies around him, they can no longer control it.

"Master Soldier, hold on, I will carry you down the mountain now!" Xuan Shaoning turned over and hung Song Mi's arms on his shoulders, squatted slightly with his legs. When Song Mi's full strength was pressing on him, he stood up steadily, ran towards the mountain's bottom, shouting for help while running. Now Ou Luyang and Xia Junmao, who were still in the grassland, also heard it.

Such a vigorous exercise had already made Xuan Shaoning sweat profusely, but he felt that the warmth behind him seemed not only from him, but also from Song Mi. He dared not think too much or wanted to think in an unfavorable direction. He always felt Song Mi's breathing on his shoulders. As long as the heat that Song Mi could still spray on his back neck, Xuan Shaoning would feel more at ease.

It took some time to go up this mountain road, but running down the mountain saved a lot of time. Before he could see Xing Gang's figure clearly. Xing Gang and Cao Tie arrived in time. The two of them protected Song Mi while protecting Song Mi. The three of them finally successfully escaped from the forest and returned to the grassland.

"What happened?" Ou Luyang, who was already sitting on the horse's back, asked quite unhappily. Xia Junmao ran to Song Mi at the first time. He saw that Song Mi's face had turned a lot pale, and then he looked at Xuan Shaoning's back with blood red.

"Han Dao Guards are good at defending!" Xia Junmao ordered, while taking off his coat and wrapping Song Mi. At the same time, he tore open the corner of his clothes and wrapping around Song Mi's chest, and tugging them hard.

"Don't say anything, I'll send you back to the city right now!"

"There is an ambush!" Ou Luyang jumped off his horse, pulled out his sword and made a battle statement and ordered: "All be warned!"

The Golden Armor Guards immediately formed a circle with the injured and their superiors as the center, and the atmosphere was immediately extremely tense.

"Commander! Song Mi is seriously injured and must be sent back to the city for treatment immediately!"

"There must be soldiers from Xiliang Mansion around us. If we act rashly, we will definitely give them a chance to attack!"

"If there is an enemy, he must have appeared and attacked at this moment!" Xuan Shaoning was furious and really didn't understand why Ou Luyang was so cautious. In his opinion, what could be more important than treating Song Mi?

"Shaoning" Song Mi held Xuan Shaoning's hand. His voice had become slight, and Xuan Shaoning could only bury his head and listen.

"Don't forget that arrow..."

Xuan Shaoning raised his head and looked at Song Mi at a loss, but saw Song Mi nodding to him with affirmation. At this moment, he didn't care about anything, so he ran out of the encirclement and ran up the mountain.

"Stop!" Ou Luyang saw Xuan Shaoning running into the mountains and immediately ordered: "Come on, please catch this detailed work!"

The sudden scene also made the men under Song Mi stunned. What happened? Why did the plot turn over all of a sudden?

Xia Junmao hurried forward and said, "Commander..."

"Don't say too much, that person is the most suspicious!"

"The commander...this matter has nothing to do with Shaoning!"

Song Mi forced herself to flip her body towards Ou Luyang. When he turned around, Xing Gang, who had been squatting behind him, saw that a back was reflected in the snow by blood.

"Soldier Song is confused when he is concerned, and he will be clear after he is taken back for interrogation." Ou Luyang said to Song Mi in a contemptuous manner: "The most important thing is to save your own life at this moment."

There was a golden armored guard chasing him behind him, and Xuan Shaoning had no time to take care of it. He had only one thought in his mind, which was to fulfill Song Mi's order. Even if he was unwilling, he just wanted to return to the city as soon as possible. Only by getting the feather arrows back as soon as possible can he set off back to the city. When he thought of this, the soreness in his legs subsided a lot.

Back to the place where Song Mi was attacked, the dark green feather arrow was still firmly inserted into the tree. Xuan Shaoning had no time to look closely. He took off the feather arrow and turned around to leave, but he subconsciously glanced at him. This glance made him find clues. A cluster of footprints appeared less than half a mile in front of Song Mi's fall! The incident happened suddenly, Xuan Shaoning could not remember whether these footprints existed at the beginning, but it is certain that these footprints must be related to the attack.

"Catch him!" The Golden Armored Guards had arrived and tied the Xuan Shaoning rope without saying a word.

"Why are you?"

"If you have anything, just say it to the commander! Take it away!"

"Wait, there are suspicious footprints in front...there are suspicious footprints in front!"

The leader also found the suspicious footprints, so he quickly ran over to see what was going on. Sure enough, the footprints were smooth without any patterns. The leader thought for a moment and turned around and rushed to Xuan Shaoning down the mountain.

Although Xuan Shaoning was confused, he was unable to think about his situation. The only thing he cared about was Song Mi's safety. On the way back to the foot of the mountain, the past began to come to his mind. Since he entered Song Mi's command, he found that Song Mi was not a person who was accustomed to verbal preaching. He taught any experience to everyone through practical methods. In Xuan Shaoning's impression, Song Mi has always been serious and has few words, but every sentence is always just right and has benefited Xuan Shaoning a lot.

Finally, it was getting closer and closer to Song Mi. Xuan Shaoning saw Song Mi's flashing pupils, which contained complex meanings. He saw expectations, concerns, but he did not see any concerns about his safety. Like a smile, this was also the first time Xuan Shaoning read Song Mi's eyes carefully. He only felt that his eyes became clearer and clearer, and the pupils in it were constantly dilated, so large that their pupils could reflect his figure.

"Captain Soldier!" Xuan Shaoning broke away from the two escorted and ran to Song Mi. Song Mi smiled again. This was the second and last time Xuan Shaoning saw it. Song Mi left peacefully. His eyes looked in the direction of the mountain. His hands pressed on his waist. The loss of blood and the decrease of body temperature finally made his face look pale, but the two burning eyes did not weaken a trace of light because of the passing of life.

"Soldier Commander!" Xinggang, who was closest to Song Mi, also noticed Song Mi's departure. He shouted out in a crying voice. Now everyone realized that everything was too late.

"Report to the commander, the suspect has been caught!"

Ou Luyang finally walked into Song Mi's body, squatted down and put his two fingers between his nose and wings for a while, but did not feel the flow of breath, so he stood up and ordered: "Soldier Song was killed in an attack, Xuan Shaoning is the most suspected. This place is dangerous and should not be kept for a long time. Go back to the city immediately!"
