This old maid was silent all her life, but following Zheng Xiu's previous order that spread throughout Changling, as it was related to the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of Chu people, not only her deeds, but also her disciples, Li Wanzhu, a court lady whose name was previously only known to senior officials of the Shendu Supervisor, was once again mentioned by the world.
Some people's death won prestige, some records in the world of practitioners, but some people's death won more than that.
When the news that the old court lady who was hidden in the palace of the Great Qin Dynasty immediately stood up to exchange for the lives of more than 70,000 Chu people in Yangshan County was reported to Chu State, countless people in Chu territory spontaneously fought for this court lady. Memorial ceremony.
Many Chu people's homes even set up a memorial tablet for the old court lady, enshrining it as a god and Buddha tablet.
For the army, the death of this old court lady was an unspeakable force.
The army of the Great Qin Dynasty was known for its bravery. However, in the many battles that broke out in the territory of Chu, almost all the Chu troops were more brave and fearless than the Qin army.
The most famous is the Battle of Yinshan Dunbao.
There are more than a thousand Chu troops stationed in Dunbao, and a small half of them are even residents of Dunbao who don't practice much at ordinary times, but they encounter more than 20,000 Qin troops who detour and raid a certain grain transportation road.
This is naturally a battle of mantis arm and chariot, but the more than a thousand Chu troops forcibly blocked the Qin army's several charges. Even though the entire army was wiped out in the end, no one escaped. Every time the Qin army charged, All the Chu soldiers who were still alive responded with mocking laughter, "Is your prince Fusu the son of Wang Jingmeng or Yuanwu?"
Even if I can't beat you, I will spit a mouthful of bloody saliva on your face.
This was originally the spirit of the Qin people.
But now it has become Chu people.
What makes Qin Jun even more uncomfortable is that they can only be angry, but they can't fight with each other on this issue, and they can't get entangled in such an issue.
Even many high-ranking generals of the Qin army did not think that driving out the Chu people in Yangshan County and forcing out such a great master was Zheng Xiu's counterattack, but thought that Zheng Xiu had made another wrong move.
"Who is that old maid?"
When Changsun Qianxue looked at Ding Ning and asked this sentence, she was only a few hills away from Ding Ning and the old monk who had been following Ding Ning.
Before this, Ding Ning had judged that such an army might take such a route, but they were still much slower, and Dunbao had already been razed to the ground.
War is like this, even if some things are calculated clearly, it is still too late. Although some practitioners are powerful, it is impossible to decide the outcome of a big battle just by their cultivation.
Ding Ning's expression was a bit complicated, and he said: "She is indeed Zhao Xiangfei's master. In terms of seniority, she is also my master and uncle. It's just ironic that she was originally placed in the palace at the Bashan Sword Field and was responsible for guarding Yuan Wu is safe. Although she is from Chu, she has been learning swords at the Bashan Sword Field."
Changsun Qianxue is well aware of that period of history. When Reform began to fight with Bashan Sword Field to protect Yuan Wu and other princes, many people wanted to kill Yuan Wu.
"There are rumors that she is dead."
Ding Ning looked at the eldest grandson Qianxue and added, "Although looking at it now, the rumors back then should only be an illusion created by her, but it can make her hide deeper."
"Where's Li Wanzhu? That court lady." Changsun Qianxue took a deep breath and asked.
She used to only care about the realm of cultivation itself, and didn't care about many things that happened in the wine shop and Changling. However, after she understood Ding Ning's true identity, she changed a lot. She remembered very clearly that Ding Ning once asked her to use some means to slightly change Fusu's appearance.
In fact, there are very few practitioners who can do that. In addition to the realm of practice and the skills they practiced, this practitioner must also be very familiar with the appearance of Wang Jingmeng in the past and deeply engrave it in his heart. Subtle carvings give Fusu some similarities with Wang Jingmeng's charm.
When Ding Ning asked her to do this, she only felt that Ding Ning was taking advantage of Fusu and his friendship, and only thought it was malicious.
However, when the maid was mentioned again, she thought that the maid was willing to give her life just to openly say some allusive words in the court. Afterwards, Ding Ning's viciousness should have something to do with the death of that court lady.
"Li Wanzhu is an orphan. She once had a younger brother who was seriously ill. When I first came to Changling, she and her younger brother were begging along the street. At that time, a street figure wanted to use her younger brother's medical expenses as a threat to let her She was a concubine, and later I killed that street figure casually, and then handed over his money to her." Ding Ning was silent for a moment, "I didn't have any contact with her after that, and I didn't even know when she She became Zheng Xiu's maid."
That is of course repayment.
Changsun Qianxue was silent for a moment, she seldom thinks with her heart, but as long as she puts her heart into it, she can easily see some problems clearly, "She deliberately said that at the big banquet, not just to make Yuan Wu Zheng Xiu is more suspicious, but she is actually telling the world that the relationship between Zheng Xiu and Yuan Wu is not that close. This is the conclusion she came to after staying in the palace for many years. It is impossible to follow her fate. Error."
"You and I know Zheng Xiu well."
Ding Ning nodded, but there was an unusually solemn look on his face, "Since she can vaguely guess from Li Wanzhu that my female uncle is not dead, then she is not afraid of what may happen next, Yuan Wu The more she cares, the crazier she acts like this, which shows that she has already started to fight back."
After a pause, he looked at the eldest grandson Qianxue who was frowning deeply and continued softly: "The more than 70,000 Chu people in Yangshan County, she won't just let it go. It is impossible for the Great Chu Dynasty to sit back and watch those Chu people." People don't care... She wants to force the Great Chu Dynasty to a decisive battle in Yangshan County as soon as possible."
"So the battle around Yangshan County may be the key to victory?" Changsun Qianxue easily understood Ding Ning's meaning and said, "Then we must go to Yangshan County as soon as possible."
"We don't need to go. The Nine Dead Silkworm is in the Yinshan area, but it will restrain more powerful practitioners here." Ding Ning shook his head, "It's just that we can't let her know the exact whereabouts. So next, we and Wuzhi's side All military relations will be cut off."
"What is it that makes you have such confidence?" After talking with Changsun Qianxue, when Ding Ning looked at the ruined Dun Bao, this voice sounded in his mind.
He knew Zheng Xiu too well, so just these actions of Zheng Xiu made him feel Zheng Xiu's strong confidence in this battle, a desire like a powerful predator to devour its prey.
…
Some of his guesses were extremely accurate.
At this time in Yangshan County, shameless things have already happened.
The Qin army escorting more than 70,000 Chu people quickly withdrew after receiving the military order from Changling.
Facing the request of those officials that day, Zheng Xiu made a promise that as long as there were enough Chu people to die in their place, she would no longer exile these Chu people from Yangshan County.
But now, the Qin army evacuated directly and quickly, leaving the more than 70,000 Chu people without food and medicine directly in the barren wilderness.
Because the flames of war have been raging before, many areas in Yangshan County have long been deserted. This group of Chu refugees with more than 70,000 people has been driven for many days in Yangshan County. Now they have only two choices, or walk again. For many days, he returned to his homeland, or headed towards the territory of Chu.
But in terms of the situation of this team, relying on their own strength, they can't do it at all.
Unless the Chu army with enough food and grass came to meet them.
