Li Hugo's team chased thirty miles away, but Li Hugo could not pursue too far, in case the enemy counterattacked, Li Hugo's losses would be very heavy.

So Li Hugo did not chase after him and chose to retreat in time.

After this victory, Li Hugo began to build bridges on both sides of the great river in the north, and this time the bridge was also a pontoon bridge, but the area and width were much larger than the original one.

Seeing the corpses being salvaged one by one, Li Hugo was also worried, and Zhou Da Fat came up and said: "Boss, we have suffered a lot of losses, although this time we took advantage of the internal chaos of the enemy, but our price is not small." ”

"At what cost?"

"We lost 30,000 people in battle, and the enemy lost 80,000 in battle, and now the actual number of people fighting is very small, we only have 150,000 left, but the people who can survive are all baptized by battle, and they are strong, and the enemy is estimated to have 400,000 people who can fight now...... "Zhou Dapang said.

"The enemy has killed a lot of generals, and the advantage of our Tongming Temple to participate in the war is reflected, after all, Tongming Temple is the weakest this time, and there are also martial spirits or magic spirit levels, plus our ten major commanders, each of them is the master who can fight, and with their leadership, it makes up for the quality of our soldiers. Mu Xisha said.

"What's next?" Sima Qianxun walked over, her arm was bandaged, and she was obviously slightly injured.

Li Hugo said: "Now to build a bridge, the most important thing is to pave the bridge, with the bridge, we have supplies...... In addition, the camp moved forward, and when they retreated, the camp here did not have time to move, so we could use the camp they left behind to quickly treat the wounded and restore morale. ”

Although it is possible to pursue the victory, it is not the best choice, the pursuit of the victory is completely gambling, good luck, you can take advantage of the victory to pursue, and if you are unlucky, you will fall into the trap of the enemy, and Li Hugo has already made arrangements, and now he has just become an acting general, but the soldiers here are still obedient to the imperial court, if the battle is won at this time, the imperial court orders to come over, and perform some special tasks, I am afraid that the prestige that Li Hugo has accumulated with great difficulty will be ruined.

......

In the capital, since the third prince took power, the emperor has been cultivating, and the previous troubles caused the emperor to be greatly injured, and he also had a serious illness, which has not been cured so far.

In the palace, Gonggong Cao came to the side of the third prince and said, "Prince, now the capital has begun to search for those remnants, but Your Majesty's body has not yet recovered...... That's why Your Majesty wants us to send someone to find Miss Alan. ”

"The dragon of life...... Huh, she's no longer there, just blame my father for being too anxious, after all, she is the dragon of life, the guardian dragon of our country, and now that the guardian dragon is angry, we can only rely on ourselves. Su Zhi said.

Xiao Yu next to him said, "Your Highness, this is the medicine you want." ”

"Give it to Grandpa Cao. Su Zhi said.

Father-in-law Cao's body trembled, and he began to tremble while holding the paper bag in both hands: "This, this medicine is useless, it's useless......"

"It's useless. Su Zhi said.

Su Zhi slowly left the main hall, although the surroundings were golden and brilliant at this time, but in the eyes of Gonggong Cao, it was a different appearance, he felt a gray and dead ash.

Xiao Yu said: "Father-in-law Cao, this is the prince's order, you can do it quickly......"

Grandpa Cao's old face was very tired, he shook his head and said, "Little Jade girl, you are also an understanding person...... Why did you choose this path? In fact, Your Majesty has long known that Tingxue Pavilion is the stronghold of the Bone God Sect, but His Majesty does not intend to interfere, nor does he plan to dismantle it, because the Bone God Sect has not done anything to harm the people, and last year's locust plague and drought, the people of the Bone God Sect all helped to relieve the disaster, and His Majesty saw these things......

"Now the three princes ...... Oh no, what is the difference between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the eldest prince at the beginning? The eldest prince wanted to kill his father at the beginning, but he still didn't take action, he just forced the palace, and forcing the palace was not killing his father...... But now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to...... I know, it's poison, isn't it? Or is it a very rare chronic poison ......."

"Miss Xiaoyu, the emperor did oppose the matter between you and the prince at the beginning, but it was only against it, should the emperor die?"

Xiaoyu's face was gloomy, and she said, "After I leave the palace, I will raise the children alone...... How can you, a eunuch, feel it on such a day, do you know how difficult my days were?"

"Girl...... Do you remember, when you were hiding from the disaster in a ruined temple, a young lady suddenly appeared, and she gave you a food box, which was hot pigeon soup, hot rice, and a lot of milk food...... "Cao Gonggong said.

Xiaoyu's body trembled: "You mean that Miss Wang who burned incense?"

"Yes, how could she bring so many hot meals and hot dishes when she went to burn incense? Don't forget, even if you go to the temple, the most things she brings are some vegetables and fruits and high points, and the food that this Miss Wang gave you is still some food to eat during confinement, when you were hungry and fainted, she suddenly appeared, don't you think it's strange?"

"Could it be that this is all ......?"

"That's right, it's all Your Majesty's arrangement, after all, your child also has royal blood, and he is also His Majesty's grandson, as a grandfather, how can he bear to let his grandson starve to death?" said Gonggong Cao, "Of course...... It's useless for our family to say this, now the emperor is seriously ill, and his health is not as good as day by day, and the general ministers in the court have been taken care of by the prince, the prince is very smart and calculating, and the eldest prince is not his opponent at all......" Cao Gonggong said.

He seemed to think of something, and said: "Okay, little jade girl, the old slave has retired first, and there are a few new little eunuchs today, and the old slave is going to arrange them." ”

"Wait a minute......" Xiaoyu said, "Father-in-law, those medicines." ”

"If you don't give it to the emperor, then the emperor's health will improve, and he will inevitably be discovered by the crown prince, because all the imperial doctors in the palace are now ...... They are all His Highness's people. Gonggong Cao said.

Xiao Yu took a breath of cold air, she didn't expect this to happen, and Su Zhi's arrangement was seamless, one step at a time.

"I ...... How am I now, what should I do?" Xiaoyu also panicked, she didn't want to achieve her infamy.

Gonggong Cao said slowly: "Although the eldest prince has been locked up in the East Palace for half a year, the hundred-legged insect will not stiffen until death, if you want to stop all this, the eldest prince may be better......

"But if it's just a big prince......" Xiaoyu was embarrassed.

"Have you forgotten the girl? Among the three dukes, there is also a veteran who does not ask about political affairs, but is highly respected...... "Gonggong Cao arrived."

"You mean, Xie Wuji, Master Xie?"

"We didn't say anything. "Father-in-law Cao's face looks a lot better.
