Chai Rong was disturbed by a serious illness and immediately withdrew his troops from Youzhou. He was like running for his life in a hurry. He finally rested for a day in Chanzhou, but when he missed the deceased Fu Hou, he did not think about Xu at all.

I envy this man who sneaked behind enemy lines.

It doesn't matter what the emperor doesn't remember. Ministers will remind him of it, but the only people who know about it are Chai Rong, Lao Mu Tou and Li Tingfang.

But Old Mutou was worried about Chai Rong's condition, so he threw Xu Xian out of his mind, "It's not bad, Your Majesty, I also forgot about him."

Li Tingfang timidly said: "I remember Xu Ling's official affairs."

Old Mutou shouted: "Then why didn't you remind His Majesty?"

"It is my turn as a servant to comment on military and state affairs. I thought that if the army has withdrawn, Xu Linggong should withdraw with him."

Chai Rong smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid he doesn't know that the army has withdrawn. Besides, he is completely ruined and has no way to withdraw, unless he crosses Youzhou and passes under the eyes of the Khitan people. I have done him a terrible job. Isn't this little soldier?

It’s the only one left.”

"Just call me and ask!"

Old Mutou immediately asked someone to invite the soldier over. When the soldier saw Chai Rong, he immediately kowtowed and said, "Chen Niu'er, the commander of the Red Turban Scout Battalion, pays homage to your majesty!"

The soldier was not wearing armor, but was dressed like an ordinary peasant. There was a broken arrow stuck in his back shoulder, and his back was covered with dried blood.

Chai Rong asked directly without any nonsense: "Where are Xu Xian and Hong Jin now?"

"Xu Linggong and Hong Jin are currently more than a hundred miles behind Yanshan Mountain and can cooperate with His Majesty to attack the Liao army at any time."

Chai Rong couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. Xu Xian had accomplished his task, but he himself had not accomplished it. "What happened to the injury on your back? Was it because the Liao army discovered your identity when you came here?"

"No! There was some chaos near Youzhou. I and two people crossed Youzhou without much effort. I met the guard at Waqiao Pass to report the situation, but was detained. This injury was caused by my escape.

The other two brothers had already been shot to death. When we got out of Waqiao Pass, we found out that the army had...withdrawn, so we grabbed a horse and hurriedly chased them. Your Majesty couldn't just throw down the red scarf and just ignore it."
