Chapter 125 Go to the top of the mountain to watch the moon.
Su Muchuan subconsciously retorted, "Impossible."
"It's true." Su Muxi told Su Muchuan everything she saw in Hanshui City. "I searched all the way there, but I didn't find my father. I also didn't see the guard in Hanshui City."
"I can confirm that Hanshui City has fallen. I'm worried about what happened in the camp, so I came back first."
"According to what you said, there should be something wrong in the camp, but now everything is calm." Su Muchuan frowned slightly, "You also said that you didn't take the same road as your father, I'm afraid you missed it."
The reason why everything was calm was probably related to He Yuncheng's sudden arrival, but Su Muxi had no way to explain it to Su Muchuan.
She said that the person in the camp now is the real He Yuncheng, and there is a fake He Yuncheng, who is pretended by Xiao Yunjin who has died in the battle, and the one she is going to marry is He Yuncheng pretended by Prince Jin. As soon as she said this, her third brother would definitely take her to see a doctor.
"I also thought that I might have missed it, but as soon as I came back, I sent Su Yi to look for my father. It's been two days, and there has been no news."
"I'm sending someone to investigate," Su Muchuan stood up and was about to go out.
"Third brother," Su Muxi stopped Su Muchuan, "I don't have military power now. You take charge of the fight against the enemy. I'll go find father."
Su Muxi stood up and said, "The prince has a stomachache. Take care of him for two days. If I don't come back, send him to Yucheng!"
"You can go check it out," Su Muchuan thought it was impossible, but he believed in his little sister, "but you only have one night, you must come back tomorrow."
Su Muchuan originally wanted to just visit his younger sister and then go back, as he still had his own city to look after. Besides, if Su Muxi’s prediction came true, it would be too dangerous for her to be alone, and she wouldn’t be able to solve the problem at all, so he only gave her this night.
"Go quickly and come back quickly. Your husband will see for himself."
Su Muxi thought about it and nodded in agreement, "Okay."
She rushed to Hanshui City just like last time. Her purpose was very clear. Su Muxi had already memorized several locations where she could hide troops. These were also her goals for tonight.
The reason why Hanshui City is easy to defend but difficult to attack is because of these continuous mountains. On one side, the peaks are steep and dangerous, and on the other side, there is deep snow and frost. The paths are long and narrow, so tens of thousands of soldiers can only march along a long front line.
The mountain road was difficult to walk on, and the snow was piled up in the deep valley. Su Muxi finally found the trail. She followed the trail forward and found bloodstains. Large patches of bloodstains dyed the snow black. If Su Muxi hadn't looked carefully, she would have thought it was just rotten branches and leaves.
Su Muxi looked around and did not find any bodies. There were two possibilities in this situation. One was that no one was dead, but many were injured, which mainly consumed military supplies and increased the burden. The other was that people were dead and taken away, most likely thrown under the cliff. They would rather be eaten by wild beasts than be desecrated by the enemy.
Su Muxi looked forward a little further and found that the footprints were gone. It was too dark, so Su Muxi didn't dare to light a fire and could only grope slowly, but the footprints were indeed gone.
Su Mu looked at the high mountains standing on both sides and chose the steep one without snow. He thought that climbing this mountain would not leave any footprints.
When Su Muxi was halfway up the mountain, he suddenly heard the sound of rocks rolling down.
When he saw someone, Su Muxi immediately held his breath and listened to how many people there were on the other side and whether they were enemies or friends.
Unexpectedly, the other party discovered her first, "Who?"
Su Muxi did not answer, "He doesn't recognize this voice."
"Who's there? Come out quickly. I've seen you."
Su Muxi refused to go out. She climbed carefully and calculated the opponent's position. The opponent was just bluffing.
Another stone fell, making a clattering sound, "Come out quickly, I found you."
Su Muxi finally determined his location and was about to go over to catch him when a person suddenly jumped out from her upper left, followed by the screams of the man who threw the stone. The screams sounded distant in the silent forest.
Su Muxi was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. She didn't notice that there was a person there. If the person who threw the stone was at night, she would have bumped into that person.
The screams no longer echoed. Su Muxi did not speak, and the man did not speak either. For a moment, they were in a stalemate, with only the whistling cold wind.
The other party could afford to waste time, but Su Muxi couldn't. "Excuse me, brother, which group are you from? Can you allow me to pass by?"
"Hey! You're a woman, and you're not sleeping in the middle of the night. Where are you going?"
Both of them were lying on the rocks, but their conversation seemed to be on the road. Su Muxi replied: "Let's go to the top of the mountain to see the moon."
"That's really a good mood. Why don't we join in?" The man's voice was clear and cheerful.
"Okay! Brother, go first, or I'll go first."
"Of course, women first."
Su Muxi responded, stepped on the rocks, used the force to climb up a bit, and stopped at the upper left, where the opponent was just now.
The opponent was not a person who played by the rules at all. Just as Su Muxi stood firm, the opponent also jumped over. There were two people standing on a protruding rock. Su Muxi had already prepared his dagger and raised his hand to hit, trying to force the opponent to retreat.
The opponent was no pushover either. The circular scimitar was sharper than Su Muxi's dagger, and the blade was sharp and round. After a fight, Su Muxi's dagger was trapped in the circular scimitar, the weapon was taken away, and his hand was cut.
"Good skills, may I ask your name, young lady?"
This weapon was too special, and Su Muxi suffered a loss. "If it is not as good as yours, please show mercy."
The man was straightforward and put the scimitar behind his waist. However, Su Muxi's dagger slipped from the side and fell into the mountain stream. "Oh... what a pity."
This person obviously did it on purpose. This was the first time she had seen a circular scimitar. Was he Xiao Yunjin's man? Was he here to investigate her father's whereabouts?
"What are you thinking about, my little beauty? You haven't told me your name yet."
"This is really not a good place to reminisce about the past. Sir, please understand that my daughter is weak and let's go to the top of the mountain first."
"Okay, why don't we do it together this time?" The man pinched Su Muxi's wrist and jumped up with her.
Su Muxi came to a conclusion that this person's lightness skills were better than hers, and his martial arts skills were also higher than hers. Since she couldn't win over her openly, she could only fight secretly.
They had only climbed half of the mountain, and the other half was being led by the other party. They soon reached the top of the mountain. As soon as they landed, Su Muxi raised his right hand and sprinkled a bag of powder on the other party's face. The other party covered his mouth and nose and retreated quickly. Su Muxi freed him with his left hand and jumped off the mountain they had just climbed.
As soon as she came up, she knew that no one could hide on this mountain. She crushed the tears of lovesickness on her wrist and used this moment to completely get rid of this mysterious man.
The man kept coughing, tears streaming down his face. It took him a long time to see again. With tearful eyes he looked at the dark valley, where the shadow of the woman was still.
