Early in the morning of the second day, the tombstone of the mass grave was erected. On the tombstone, the two heads were Gu Ling and Yu Qi.
Yan Chi led the remaining 50,000 soldiers of the Shuoxi Army to pay homage to the mass grave. After Yan Qi's body hung for two days, Yan Chi ordered people to bury Yan Qi's body in the southwest of the mass grave. In order to expose his guilt, after the memorial ceremony, the army was ready, and Yan Chi gave an order to set off for the south in the morning of the next day.
Because he was worried about Qin Wan, Yan Chi really kept Bai Feng, and left five hundred soldiers to protect Qin Wan.
That night, Yan Chi held Qin Wan in his arms, his brows hard to show. Qin Wan lay on Yan Chi's chest and smiled wryly, "I know you are worried about me, but now, I should be worried about you. You lead the army south, in case Ge Yang What if we wait for someone to send troops back to help?"
Now that Yan Chi was sure of the battle situation, he said, "Of course it's okay, it's too late for them to come back, not to mention that they are a patchwork of tens of thousands of people, they are not good at all, I have asked Bai Feng to write to Mr. Yang and the others are entangled in the west, and if Ge Yang retreats, they will send troops to the north to encircle me."
Naturally, Qin Wan didn't need to worry about the battle, so she said, "That's good, I think it will go well."
Yan Chi put his arms around Qin Wan's waist, hugged her up a little bit, stared at her face to face and said, "This journey is not safe. In today's troubled times, bandits are rampant. Why don't you leave a thousand troops behind? That way nothing will go wrong.”
Qin Wan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "No need! If you keep them, they may not want to. Going south to Lin'an is the time for everyone to make contributions. Wouldn't it make everyone unwilling to assign them to me like this? Five hundred people are enough. I said, one white cherry is enough."
Yan Chi turned over and pressed Qin Wan under him, "It's a meritorious deed to protect you. If something goes wrong with you, what should I do?"
Qin Wan hugged Yan Chi's neck with a smile, "Then let's make an appointment. When we meet again, we won't hurt anything. If anyone misses the appointment, then..."
Yan Chi pecked Qin Wan's lips, "So what?"
Qin Wan's eyes rolled, "If anyone misses the appointment, they... can't sleep on the bed, how about it?"
Yan Chi gritted his teeth when he heard this, "I see that you clearly want to punish me."
As she said that, she couldn't help saying that she kissed, and that Nian would leave tomorrow, so Qin Wan naturally made trouble in the middle of the night, and the two of them lingered until midnight before they fell asleep.
At dawn on the second day, Yan Chi left the camp with the army. Before leaving, Zhao You and Yan Che also came to see him off. Facing Yan Chi's exhortation to Qin Wan, Zhao You pledged his life several times , Yan Chi just set off with the last team, Qin Wan was reluctant to give up, and Yu Ma followed five miles before returning.
The Shuoxi army pulled out the camp and left, and the whole camp was empty. Yan Chi left behind 500 troops, but only dozens of tents. They were no bigger than before. In order not to move Zhao Shuhua, Zhao You let the Beifu army He was stationed in the Shuoxi army camp, and since Qin Wan chose to stay, he naturally took care of Zhao Shuhua's injury wholeheartedly, but he was not used to being away from Yan Chi in his heart.
Now that Yue Ning is not here, Wei Qizhi has also left with the main force. Qin Wan is only surrounded by Bai Ying and Bai Feng. Although Qin Chaoyu is very grateful to her, she is always with Yan Che. It's not considered close, but Zhao You admired Qin Wan quite a lot. He would talk to Qin Wan every time he had a doctor's visit. Qin Wan also happily chatted with the old man. The meaning of the turn.
Qin Wan originally said that he would be able to catch up if he stayed in the north for three days, but the people Zhao You sent out to find the medicine hadn't found the medicine of Aescin for a long time. Zhao Shuhua breathed a sigh of relief after applying acupuncture.
In the evening of the same day, the second group of people who went to Fengzhou came back, but they still couldn't find the medicinal materials. Qin Wan was feeling distressed when he got the news, but suddenly heard that there was another person at the gate of the camp.
Now Qin Wan is still living in the previous Chinese army tent, and the surrounding tents are also occupied by the Shuoxi army, while the Beifu army is stationed a little farther away, so as not to bump into Qin Wan, and when he learns that someone is coming at the camp gate, Qin Wan went out of the tent to look, but saw that more than a dozen young men with extremely pale eyes had entered the camp.
The facial features of these people are not much different from those of Zhou people, the only significant difference is in the color of their eyes, Qin Wan couldn't help but feel strange.
Zhao Jing led the group straight into Zhao You's main tent, and Qin Wan ordered Bai Ying to look at it. After a while, Bai Ying came back and said, "Princess, she is a member of the Northern Wei Dynasty!"
Qin Guan was slightly surprised, and Bai Ying said, "It belongs to the fifth princess! It is said that a few days ago, someone was sent to the Beifu army camp and met the queen, but this person has been out for two months, and there has been no news, and the fifth princess knows about the civil turmoil in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I personally went to the border town of the Northern Wei Dynasty to wait for the matter. A few days ago, I got a letter from my subordinates, knowing that General Zhao You was not feeling well, so I sent someone to bring the medicinal materials of the Northern Wei Dynasty. She still doesn’t know about the queen..."
Qin Wan frowned. He didn't know it before, but he might know it today.
In Zhao You's tent, He Lianchu said, "I had already gone a hundred miles, but I received a letter from the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess sent someone to visit the general, and the villain came back with them. Unexpectedly, the Empress Suffering such a serious injury, the villain will send the news to the Crown Princess."
It will take ten days to travel from here to the Northern Wei Dynasty at the fastest. He Lianchu sent a letter to the Northern Wei Dynasty as soon as he arrived in Chongzhou, so the people sent by Yan Zhen bumped into him on the way.
When Zhao You heard that He Lianchu wanted to send a letter to Yan Zhen, he didn't stop him, but just sighed, "I didn't expect that she would miss us so much, it's just that she might leave the palace now?"
He Lianchu hurriedly said, "Don't worry, the political situation in the Northern Wei Dynasty has been stabilized. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince is fine, the Crown Princess Concubine can do whatever she wants."
Zhao You was in poor health, so he told Helianchu to rest after talking to Helianchu for a while, seeing that Helianchu had brought a lot of medicinal materials, he naturally lamented Yan Zhen's filial piety, so he ordered Zhao Jing to pack it up, and Zhao Jing took it with him A pack of medicinal materials was delivered to the military doctor, and they were only ordered to recuperate Zhao You's body, but unexpectedly, before Zhao Jing had gone out a few steps after giving the order, someone called from behind, and the old doctor rushed out, saying hurriedly, " Major general! Aesculus aesculus! There is an aesculus in this bundle!"
When Zhao Jing heard this, her eyes widened!
When Qin Wan was invited to Zhao Shuhua's place, she also knew how the seven-leaf flower came from. Now she sighed that it was a coincidence. Now that she had the medicine, Qin Wan prepared to clean up Zhao Shuhua's wound again. Although it was only to clean the wound this time, However, it was as dangerous as drawing arrows before. Qin Wan worked in the tent for two full hours before cleaning the wound and applying the medicine. I looked frightened.
When Qin Wan came out, his face was already pale and sweating profusely.
Yan Che helped Zhao You to meet him and said, "How is it? Mother, she—"
Qin Wan sighed, "The blood has temporarily stopped, but this time he lost a lot of blood, and he has been hanging by ginseng medicine for the past few days. Now the empress is still very weak. I don't know if she can survive these few days. If three days If there is no fever within a few days, and the wound is beginning to heal, the danger will be reduced by half. If the wound continues to suppurate, I am afraid... "
Everyone's hearts sank when she said this, and Zhao Shuhua seemed to be breaking through barriers, and had to overcome barriers to survive.
Zhao You sighed, "You have done your best, and it is all thanks to you that she can live for a few more days, Princess Rui, thank you very much."
Everyone knows that Qin Wan will only stay here for three days, and today is already the third day, and Qin Wan will leave tomorrow.
Although Zhao You didn't say anything to ask Qin Wan to stay, there was a hesitant plea in his eyes, and Yan Che and Qin Chaoyu were also full of earnestness.
Qin Wan hesitated for a moment, "I'll stay for another two days. I will personally change the queen's dressing in these two days. I think it will be better."
At the side, Bai Ying hesitated to speak, but Zhao You was immediately filled with gratitude, "Miss Qin, I really... thank you so much. If Shu'er's life is saved, it will be all because of your great kindness."
Qin Chaoyu also looked at Qin Wan with red eyes. Seeing them like this, Qin Wan could only sigh in his heart.
Once back in his tent, Qin Wan wrote a letter to Yan Chi, and the words in the letter were naturally guilty.
And for the next two days, Qin Wan really paid attention to Zhao Shuhua's injury all the time, and used medicine and needles very well. During this period, Zhao Shuhua's wound seemed to be healing. Zhao Shuhua handed it over to others, I'm afraid nine times out of ten it will be bad things——
At ten o'clock in the afternoon of the second day, Helian Chu received a reply to the letter sent by Xinying to the border town of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it was written by Yan Zhen herself!
As soon as Zhao You opened the letter, she was startled, because Yan Zhen said in the letter that she would come to see Zhao Shuhua in person...
What Yan Zhen said was not a discussion or an inquiry, but a decision. Yan Che was naturally happy to see Yan Zhen, and Zhao Shuhua's injury did not worsen, so it was a good thing. Zhao You took this letter, There is a smile on his face, but his eyes are a little serious.
Not long after, Zhao You called Zhao Jing and Yan Che over, "There is something I want to discuss with you."
Yan Che and Zhao Jing looked at each other, and Zhao You said, "Shu'er's injury is so serious, even if she recovers, every three years or five years, she will not be able to maintain her spirit, and Princess Rui said It is said that Shu'er's left shoulder and arm will probably not be as agile as before in the future, and I am afraid that the root cause of the disease will still fall, and my body is probably a matter of the past two years. It can be said to be a desperate fight, but now, Shu'er is equivalent to walking through the gate of hell, I think, that's enough."
Yan Che and Zhao Jing were slightly surprised, but they didn't speak, Zhao You said, "In the current situation, we not only have to fight Yue Qiong, but also fight the emperor, and also fight Yan Chi, it doesn't matter what, it's just the Shuoxi Army, you can talk about it in all fairness , can we fight? What's more, Prince Rui and his wife are very kind to us."
As Zhao You said, he sighed again, "If you can't fight, you can only be entangled. Our food and grass have long been exhausted, and now we can't supply the daily soup and cakes, and there are no rice grains in the porridge. You must know this in your heart. Yes, waste, we can't afford it, fight, we can't fight, for the sake of Shu'er's body, for two more years of my life, and for you to relieve the burden on your heart and shoulders as soon as possible, let's come here."
Zhao Jing clenched the hilt of the sword by her side, "With such a decision, if my sister wakes up, I'm afraid..."
Zhao You waved his hand, "It's not easy for your sister these years. She put a shackle on herself. You dare not touch this shackle. I'll take it off for him. If she wants to blame, blame me in the future. She will spend half her life It’s hard work, I don’t want her to go to jail for the next few decades.”
Bitterness and frustration filled Yan Che's heart. He wanted to fulfill Zhao Shuhua's vision, but he knew deeply that he was not Yan Chi, and did not have the ability to command thousands of troops. Once Zhao Shuhua and Zhao You fell, he would fall too. When he got down, he was very frustrated in his heart. He didn't feel so heartbroken about giving up fighting for the throne, but just felt disappointed. But thinking about Zhao You and Zhao Shuhua's bodies, he felt that this was the best way.
"I listen to my grandfather, but what about the Beifu army?"
Hearing this, Zhao You clenched his fists heavily and thumped the arm of the chair, "This is what I'm most sorry for them. They are all loyal people. They followed me and focused on the traitor's hat, and Cangzhou... I'm afraid that I will never be able to do so in a few lifetimes." I can't repay this debt, I thought, now that the emperor has no protection in Lin'an, the Shuoxi army is likely to win, and Prince Rui is also very convincing, for them now, the best way is to It is to go to Prince Rui—”
Yan Che and Zhao Jing didn't speak, they both sighed for a moment and agreed.
Zhao You twitched the corners of his lips, "You don't object? If the Beifu army disperses, we will lose everything!"
Yan Che smiled wryly, "Right now, the grandson only wants his mother to get better, and only thinks that his grandfather can live a long life."
Zhao Jing also said, "It's a pity, of course it's a pity, but our family and Helele are already a great blessing."
Zhao Jing is from the Zhao family, no matter what, she cannot escape the responsibility of the crime, and she is determined not to return to Lin'an.
Seeing the two of them like this, Zhao You smiled relievedly, and said, "Okay, if you have made up your mind, go and call Cheng Wei and the others, all the generals from the seventh rank and above, come here, Princess Rui is going to call tomorrow. Let's go, let's hurry up."
Qin Wan had to leave early the next morning, so he rested early that day, but at midnight, he heard a little noise outside.
She didn't know what happened to the Beifu army, and she didn't have the heart to take care of it, so she tossed and fell asleep again.
When he got up early the next morning, he saw that Bai Feng's complexion was a little heavy.
"Princess, last night the Beifu army was reorganizing, and I don't know where to go."
Qin Wan raised her eyebrows, "Going back to Chongzhou?"
Bai Feng shook his head, not like, "Everyone is organizing the army, but Old General Zhao and the others didn't move much, and their personal guards didn't even clean up, it's very weird."
Qin Wan also felt a little strange when he heard the words, but he didn't care so much, "Don't worry about them, General Zhao is not in good health now, they won't think of harming us, let's prepare, since they have something strange here, let's go early Let's just leave, now we only care about Lin'an, if the Northland is going to be chaotic."
Qin Wan didn't think that Zhao You was going to hurt her, at most he thought that Zhao You wanted to occupy Wei County and take Zhao Shuhua to Wei County to recuperate from his injuries, so he organized the army.
After tidying up and having breakfast, Bai Feng and five hundred people outside had already made preparations, so Qin Wan came to bid farewell to Zhao You.
Dragging his sick body, Zhao You led Yan Che and Qin Chaoyu, and personally sent Qin Wan out of the camp gate.
Zhao You said, "On this journey, I hope you take care, although we only get along for a few days, but my old man feels that you and I hit it off very well, now that we part, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to see you again, you and Prince Rui, take care. "
Qin Wan felt a little sad in his heart, "Take care too, your body will get better after following the method I wrote."
Zhao You smiled and nodded, Yan Che looked at Qin Wan deeply, but Qin Wan looked at him very lightly, not even as concerned as when he looked at Zhao You, Yan Che pursed his lips for a few moments, and said, " Take care all the way, thank you."
Qin Wan shook her head with a smile, glanced at Qin Chaoyu and said, "The queen will get better, but I still have to be careful in the next month. I am going south this time. If... if the root cause of the disease falls in the future, let Eighth Sister write to me." Well, if I can help, of course I will."
Qin Chaoyu's eyes turned red for a moment, and he couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Qin Wan in his arms, "Qin Wan, after this farewell, we don't know when we will meet again, I just hope everything goes well for you and Prince Rui, although it is difficult for me to see you, Timing Shiyao wishes you well, Qin Wan, your hard times were all when you were young, and you will definitely have blessings in the future."
Qin Wan was a little saddened by Qin Chaoyu's hug, and said with a smile, "I will borrow your good words, and you will get what you want."
Qin Chaoyu knew that Qin Wan was talking about her love for Yan Che, and his throat was choked again, but at this moment, there was no need to say too much, seeing that it was getting late, he just let go of Qin Wan, Qin Wan got on the horseback, clasped his fists Said "Treasure" and rode away!
Yan Che watched Qin Wan drift away, and the waves in his eyes became more and more calm. Finally, he hugged Qin Chaoyu's shoulder and sighed.
What Qin Chaoyu said was right, after this farewell, I'm afraid we won't see each other again.
And all his thoughts about Qin Wan were all over with this sigh.
Qin Wan left the camp and rode his horses all day long. Yesterday, Yanchi wrote a letter, and now he has entered Yingzhou. The journey went smoothly, and he hardly encountered any resistance from the city. He led the troops to the north to fight against the army. The news of the enemy spread all over the north of the Yanjiang River. Anyone who was a little angry or worried because of the invasion of the enemy was very grateful to him. Naturally, he would not stop him. Meaning, we all run to meet each other...
Qin Wan thought, she was walking, and Yan Chi was also walking, not much slower than her, so she dared not stop even more, and only hurried to the sunset before being persuaded by Bai Feng, "Princess, stop at the town ahead. Come on, if you go further, you will have to walk for half a day before you reach the market town."
Qin Wan heard the words and was about to say no, but suddenly heard something behind him, and Bai Feng looked back in disbelief!
Bai Feng was more sensitive than Qin Wan, he knew what the voice was when he heard it!
"Princess! It's the sound of horseshoes. There are so many people. I'm afraid there are 60,000 to 70,000 people—"
Qin Wan frowned when he heard this, "At this time, the only one who can come is the Beifu Army!"
Bai Feng immediately said, "Princess, it's dangerous to stay here, let's go into town quickly!"
Qin Wan shook her head, "No need, I think that the person who came here may have no ill intentions towards us."
After all, Bai Feng is a man, not as sentimental as Qin Wan. Thinking of so many people coming, he dare not let Qin Wan take a little risk, but Qin Wan is very sure, such a delay, not long after, a mighty army will appear On the way.
Tens of thousands of horses stirred up dust that was ten feet high, and Zhao You's deputy Cheng Wei led the army at the front.
Cheng Wei's royal horse was in front of him, and when he saw Qin Wan's eyes light up, he waved at Qin Wan from afar. Said, "General Cheng, what does this mean—"
As soon as the words finished, Cheng Wei walked up to her horse and knelt down!
This time, Qin Wan and the others were shocked.
Cheng Wei clasped his fists in salute and said, "The general pays his respects to the concubine. Last night, the general and the generals made it clear that the queen and the crown prince would give up going south. Now that the matter has come, the Beifu army can't live in the north with the title of rebel army. The general conveniently withdrew the designation of the Beifu Army last night, and made us voluntarily join His Highness Prince Rui! His Highness Prince Rui is known as the God of War, and all the men in the army admire him. If the general is willing to fight, we will follow the general, but now the general gives up and asks us to choose another master, then in this world, only His Royal Highness Prince Rui can let our two ministers serve!"
Cheng Wei is also over forty years old, and he is a veteran. He spoke forcefully, and then said after a short pause, "The general finished his army last night. He didn't tell the princess before he left, but he was afraid that the princess would refuse. Now it's the end of the day." The general led the army to catch up, because he wanted to follow Princess Hu and join His Highness Prince Rui!"
Qin Wan couldn't tell what it was like at the bottom of her heart, she was shocked by Zhao You and Yan Che's decision, but when she thought about the current situation of the Beifu Army and Zhao You's aspirations, she felt that this situation should come naturally, she was stunned for a moment , When he recovered, he had already accepted such a situation.
"The general asked first. The general of Fuguo made such a decision. I don't understand. Now that the general is here to vote, I will not refuse, but I want to make sure of one thing. In the general's mind, who is the master of the general?" ? The general said that he is a second minister, how can Prince Rui trust the general?"
Cheng Wei didn't get up, and just clasped his fists when he heard the words, "I'll be a minister for a day, and I'll be a minister for the rest of my life, unless His Royal Highness Prince Rui doesn't believe in the late general, or one day decides the late general to be a traitor, otherwise, the late general will never betray the Lord, If there is betrayal, there is such a robe—”
With a sound of "呲啦", Cheng Wei tore off the hem of his military uniform and smashed it to the ground!
Qin Wan looked at Cheng Wei's resolute appearance, and then saw that all the generals of the Beifu Army who were catching up behind them were all kneeling and saluting, and immediately smiled, "Okay! Now that I have said that, I will take you to catch up with Prince Rui , Prince Rui cherishes the benevolence, virtue and virtuousness of the common people, and will never fail you!"
