Xiao Shaotang also remembered that the generals defending the city today were all low-level officers from Yuzhou and Hedong.

And Song Wende, the county order that should have been at the forefront, never appeared from beginning to end.

"This person is of despicable character, and I am afraid that he will escape from the battle. ”

Xiao Shaotang and Song Wende's son Song Sanlang used to be close friends, Song Sanlang was frank and kind, but Song Wende, he always looked down on him.

Bai Chenghuan thought about it, and there was only this possibility.

Song Wen is a well-known loyal minister and a good man, if he wants to say that he has done anything sorry for others in his life, it is probably to cover up all kinds of bad deeds of his younger brother.

Now that life and death are at stake, personal conduct is immediately revealed, even if that Zhang Qian's methods are inferior, and he has a hostile relationship with them, but as a general of Daqi who has led the imperial court, he can make people look up to him.

After the Qin army occupied the county ya, they searched inside and out, but they did not find the shadow of Song Wende, and the house behind the yamen was also messy, and it seemed that they had indeed fled a long time ago.

Bai Chenghuan saw that he couldn't find Song Wende, so he didn't bother to think about it anymore, no matter whether he could find him or not, it would not affect the pace of the Qin army's eastward advance.

has entered Hongnong County, as long as the Hangu Pass is conquered next, then along the Fen River, there will be no barrier between Yuzhou and Hedong, and it will be just around the corner for the Qin army.

There are no strong generals in the hands of the emperor, there are no fierce soldiers in the military department, and the Qin army in the territory of Daqi has accounted for one-third.

Along the way, all she saw were abandoned fields, the people were difficult, and the wanderers were rampant, and the prosperous and prosperous era before her death was like a fragile dream.

It has only been a year since I was reborn, and the world has been turned upside down.

When everything settled down, Zhao Wensong took people back to the camp, and Xiao Shaotang discussed with Bai Chenghuan where to live at night.

"Why don't we stay in the county office tonight? Wait until Mr. Yuan sends someone over to take over and then make plans, what do you think?"

Bai Chenghuan looked at the county government that had a bit of eyebrows after the reorganization, and he was not interested.

"I want to go back to the Bai family. ”

Xiao Shaotang also smiled:

"I want to go back to He's house, but I'm a dead person, so don't go back and be scared, I'll go to the Bai family with you." ”

Bai Chenghuan was a little moved in his heart.

Today is the first day of the Qin army's invasion of Yuzhou, and the commander lives in the county office, which is not only a prestige, but also a prestige, and the name is justified.

But Xiao Shaotang was willing to go back with her, and she still felt happy from the bottom of her heart.

"Xiao Shaotang, thank you!"

Her eyes crooked and she smiled, and the sorrow and sadness that lurked under the battle of the day quietly passed.

Xiao Shaotang saw that she was finally happy, a doting look appeared in his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face that was a little blackened by the smoke, and he reached out and patted the top of her hair:

"Between you and me, what are you saying thank you? I couldn't accompany you back to Yuzhou when I got married, and at this time, I should accompany you home to see. ”

The moonlight was like smoke, and on the bluestone steps, when Bai Chenghuan pushed open the door of the Bai family, a man's frightened voice came from inside:

"Who?"

Bai Chenghuan heard the voice of Steward Chen of the Bai family, and the time spent here suddenly came to his face with this familiar voice.

She pushed the door open and walked in:

"Steward Chen, it's me. ”

The trembling man hiding in the shadows did not even dare to light the lamp, but only looked at her face in the snow-white moonlight, and then spoke out in disbelief:

"Yes...... Is the eldest lady back?"

But the person in black armor under the moon cast a murderous shadow in front of his eyes, where can he match that beautiful eldest lady?!

"It's me. Bai Chenghuan smiled at him and affirmed again.

Steward Chen finally heard this voice clearly, as if it was the crisp voice of the eldest lady.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously, looked at her again, and looked behind her again, and when he saw Xiao Shaotang and Shao Hui Ah Hua standing behind her, he finally trembled and shouted:

"Ah...... Is it Young Master He Qi...... The prince of Qin, Shake Hui, Ah Hua?"

Xiao Shaotang smiled and nodded:

"Steward Chen, it's hard for you to stay in the Bai family. ”

When he was still He Qi, there were not many times he went in and out of the Bai family, and Steward Chen naturally recognized him. Besides, listening to the meaning of Steward Chen's words, he also knew the inside story of all kinds of changes later.

Shao Hui and Ah Hua also stepped forward and were full of emotion:

"Uncle Chen, I didn't expect you to stay and watch the house!"

When Shao Hui was still called Xiaoqing, she had been in the Bai family for many years, and she was the eldest girl next to Mrs. Bai, so she was naturally familiar with Steward Chen, Ah Hua was stupid and reckless, and these two Steward Chen knew each other.

He immediately came to his senses, it was really the eldest lady who was back!

Bai Chenghuan had already taken off his hard helmet, and a delicate and beautiful face was completely exposed in the moonlight, as if glowing with a slight light, and Steward Chen couldn't help but burst into tears when he looked at it again:

"Miss, you're back!"

When the master left, he said that when the eldest lady came back one day, the Bai family would be saved!

"Come in, come in! The little one is looking forward to the early return of the eldest lady and the aunt!"

Steward Chen wiped his eyes and led them inside, but there was no one along the way, only the moonlight.

"When the master took his wife away, the eldest young master was originally going to stay, but then the wife said that the eldest young master can't do it with his hands and feet, and staying will be the burden of the eldest lady in the future, and he wants us all to leave......!

Bai Chenghuan stopped and thanked Steward Chen:

"Thank you Steward Chen for guarding the door for the Bai family! The Bai family will never dare to forget Steward Chen's great kindness!"

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be! The small one is just hard to leave the homeland! The eldest lady doesn't have to be polite to the little one, this house is still the same, and the eldest lady is just right to come back at this time!"

Although Steward Chen was very humble, but along the way, he saw a lot of things about the fall of the master's family and the slave taking the opportunity to seize the property, all this that Steward Chen did for the Bai family still made Bai Chenghuan awe-inspired, not to mention that Steward Chen was not a slave bought by the Bai family, but just signed a contract with the Bai family.

"In this world, it is really not easy for Steward Chen to protect his family so well. ”

Xiao Shaotang looked around as he walked, and also praised sincerely.

At this time, although there were no people in the Bai family's house, it seemed empty, but everywhere was still as neat as before, and it was not like other places in the county town, where traces of looting by officers and soldiers could be seen at a glance.

Steward Chen sighed when he heard this:

"Where is the small credit, this is all borrowed from the light of His Royal Highness the King of Jin! Since the officers and soldiers were stationed in the county seat, His Royal Highness the King of Jin ordered people to come and see the Bai family, although the small ones can't get out, but no one can come in. ”

After Steward Chen finished speaking, he couldn't hear Bai Chenghuan speak for a long time, so he led the way and said to himself:

"If you want to say that this officer and soldier are also evildoers, and if they have no military rations, they will go from house to house to collect grain, but these common people are all starving to death, and where will they get the food for them? If they can't hand it over, they will forcibly break in and search for it, and some of these soldiers and ruffians will not only search for food, but also snatch the last bit of gold and silver that people have to save their lives!"

"If you want to say that they are defeated today, this is also what they should be! These days, how many people say that it is better to let the Qin army come in earlier than to be exploited by the imperial court! I heard that the Qin army loves the people like sons, and they have not burned and looted along the way, and they have not committed any crimes against the people! The eldest lady and aunt don't know, and the younger ones feel that their faces light up when they hear this!"

"I see......"

Bai Chenghuan's low sigh was not joyful, but a little melancholy.

"But no, the little one was afraid of being poked in the backbone in the past, but from now on, the little one can also straighten his waist and say to people, the eldest lady in the small family is the princess of King Qin, and the uncle is His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin!"

Xiao Shaotang walked beside Bai Chenghuan, firmly held her hand, and pinched her palm, before continuing Steward Chen's words and smiled:

"In this way, thank you for Steward Chen's attention! The rebellion of the Qin Wangfu was just forced to be helpless, and he had to do it. ”

The panic on Steward Chen's face has completely dissipated, and he shook his head and replied:

"No matter what it is for, whoever can make the common people live a good life is the right way! Otherwise, look at the current court, what is the difference between it and bandits?"

Several people talked all the way, all the way to the main courtyard where Mrs. Bai used to live.

The main courtyard was still empty and there were no people, only the breeze rustled the leaves of the plane trees at the gate of the courtyard.

Bai Chenghuan looked up, as if he could still see the Li family standing lovingly under the eaves and beckoning to her, asking her not to always be angry with her brother Bai Xianghuan, as if she could still see the reluctant gaze of the Li family when she finally left a few months ago.

Her eyes were slightly moist, and she bent down deeply and bowed to the main hall a few times.

When Xiao Shaotang saw her like this, he also saluted, while Shao Hui and Ah Hua knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed according to strict rules.

"If the old lady and the eldest young master are at home, then how lively it will be at this time!"

Ah Hua couldn't help but speak.

Bai Chenghuan bowed, yes, it would be nice if the family was here.

However, it has come to this point, and when it settles down and the family reunites, it will not be too far away.

Late at night, it was completely silent.

Although the war on this day seemed to be still in front of him, and his body felt tired, Bai Chenghuan still did not feel sleepy.

Xiao Shaotang...... Xiao Shi, he probably didn't lie to me, he took care of my family...... But he still faced such a fiasco today, he must be very sad......"

She fell into his arms, no longer as sad as when she first began to realize that she and Xiao Shi were completely enemies, but a faint sadness still haunted her heart.

Xiao Shaotang hugged her and sat on the bed, and persuaded softly:

"Since he wants to grow up, since he wants to defend his royal brother, he naturally has to face all this. Don't worry, he took care of the Bai family today, and we can take care of him in the future, I promise you, I will never kill him, you don't have to worry. ”

"Well, I know. ”

Bai Chenghuan responded.

She knew that the person she loved was a man with a big heart and a clear moon, and she was not worried that he would have to kill King Jin in the future.

What she worries about is that the boy who went through all kinds of drastic changes and finally turned against her will never be able to go back to the past from now on.

It is true that the king of Jin is still sitting under the lamp and has never slept.

He had never drunk much alcohol, and he sat on the tower of Hangu Pass with a few pots of wine, and he was drunk in the moonlight until he burst into tears.

Zhang Delu's persuasion was fruitless, so he could only accompany him quietly.

"Father-in-law Lu, you see, I am soft-hearted and useless, I want to be the enemy of Sister Cheng Huan, and I also lose the city of the imperial brother...... I can't do anything, I can't do anything...... I'm just a ...... of shit."

King Jin has always been white, with blue stubble on his face, haggard and decadent, crying in a mess.

"Lord Wang, you are only seventeen, you have never fought before, and the Qin army is overwhelming, no wonder you are ......"

Zhang Delu tried his best to comfort him, but there was a faint scolding voice from Mr. Zhang Qian.

"This is all waste for Lao Tzu to be stuffed to command a thousand troops, this is to send our brothers to death!"

Zhang Qian always heard that King Jin's waste dim sum actually ran to the city tower to drink and cry, and he really wanted to go up and kick him directly down Hangu Pass!

He couldn't figure it out, is the emperor really crazy?

How can such a waste be sent over to get in the way!

He was angry and anxious, and went round and round in the tent:

"The Qin army captured the county seat today, and it will never stop there, they have attacked Hangu Pass for a few days, he doesn't want to quickly deploy a counterattack, and he actually has the face to cry! I really think that he has a big face, and the prince of Qin can see Bai Huanniang and retreat when he sees him?

After scolding, he called his subordinates over to continue training:

"That's it, what about you? tell you to go and find Song Wende for Lao Tzu, what about people?"

The person sent to search for Song Wende had already returned, and hurriedly stepped forward and replied:

"Song County Ling had already quietly run away last night, and now I'm afraid he has arrived in Jizhou!"

"This straight bitch thief! shameless coward!"

Zhang Qian was almost angry, and his loyalty was almost shaken:

"Who are the people used by the imperial court? Give a holy decree to an idiot to lead the troops, and the county orders used are all such shameless villains!"

The soldiers inside and outside the barracks only heard Zhang Qian scolding all night.

And Song Wende, who had already escaped with the Cao family, finally arrived at the border of Jizhou after a day and two nights of running around when the sky was light.

"Finally escaped!"

Song Wende only dared to breathe a sigh of relief at this point, and sighed at Cao Shi in the carriage.

But Cao has never given her husband a good face from the moment she left Hongnong County.

At this time, seeing his irresponsible face like this, his heart was even more dead.

When she returns to the capital, all the clansmen of the Song and Cao clans will know what kind of coward she married!

The so-called literati style, she has never seen it in her husband!

Song Wende said a few words to her again and again, but he didn't see her take care of herself, and she was also annoyed, and said hatefully:

"You don't give me such a look! You are not happy if I escape, could it be that you really want to die in Yuzhou?"

Cao Shi glanced at him coldly:

"Since the lord is so greedy for life and afraid of death, then it depends on how the lord goes back to the capital, how he faces the lord and the clansmen, and how to tell people how you abandon the city and become a minister in vain!"

"What do you know!" was reprimanded by his wife like this, Song Wende's face became even worse: "The eldest brother is unconscious in the capital, and the eldest nephew is even more half-hearted to the emperor, I am stupid and have to die there?"
