Chapter 158: War (Monthly Ticket Vote for CoolSpring Students)
During this time, he was instructed by Qin Yue to secretly investigate the disappearance of the summons along the route from Tongzhou to the capital, and even found out a lot of battles in Tongzhou. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The current situation in Tongzhou is very bad, the leader of the Hu people, Yeqi, is not a simple character, he is good at calculation, and he has 300,000 troops under him, all the way from the border to kill, invincible, and the army of the country is defeated and retreated, until he retreats to Tongzhou City, he can be regarded as a breather.
Now the mighty general Lin Qiong of Tongzhou was seriously injured and his whereabouts are unknown, all relying on his deputy general Liu Wu to support him. Even if the vanguard of the Shenfeng Battalion had arrived in time and solved the urgent need, the battle situation was still very unfavorable.
Nowadays, the people in the city are panicking, and they all want to escape from the place of gunsmoke immediately.
The last time he went to Dayue Mountain without hiding from the mansion, he had already scared off half of his life, and this time he had to stop her no matter what.
But Qin Yue is Qin Yue, once the matter is decided, ten cows can't pull it back. Therefore, the two argued for a long time, and finally Qin Fen was defeated.
After Qin Yue explained what he should explain, he left the Qin Mansion early the next morning on the grounds that he was "unwell and wanted to go back to another hospital to recuperate".
Before leaving, the old lady wanted to say something and stopped, but in the end she still didn't say anything, and waved her away without saying a word.
Duan and Song looked at each other for a moment, and they couldn't help but rejoice in their hearts.
Among the several sisters of the Qin family, only Qin Hao was a little reluctant, and pulled her hand with some concern, "Fifth sister, you have to take good care, come back soon after you are well recovered, you will miss you very much-"
Qin Yue smiled and touched her head, "I'll miss you too, my good sister." ”
Although it was a low-key trip, it still attracted so many people to send it off, no matter what kind of little Jiujiu they had in their hearts, they all looked reluctant to let her leave.
Duan Shi also pretended to wipe the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and said in a very distressed tone: "What a good girl, she is actually suffering from this illness, hey......"
Qin Yue didn't bother to look at the faces of these people, and boarded the carriage with a smile while waving his hand.
Qin Sanye and Qin Fen escorted her out of the city together, and sent four more agile guards to her, and then turned the horse's head and went to the yamen of the ministry.
As soon as he walked to the entrance of Danguifang Street, he met Xiao Qian, the commander of the Dragon Praetorian Guard.
Qin Sanye couldn't avoid it, so he had to step forward to say hello, "Ah Qian-"
"Cousin Yizhi!" Xiao Qian grabbed the horse's head, with a smile on his face, and spoke to Qin Sanye extremely enthusiastically.
Qin Sanye felt even more guilty, and coughed lightly before answering, "What happened yesterday, I'm really sorry." The little girl has always been willful, so she will talk nonsense in front of the emperor, in short, it is my father who is not strict in discipline......"
"Cousin Yizhi's words are serious-" Xiao Qian snorted, and immediately intercepted what Qin Sanye was about to say, "Forget it, Yue Yatou still has to call me 'cousin', maybe I, who is an uncle, have to be like my niece?"
Seeing that he didn't mean to blame, Qin Sanye couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The two then chatted for a while, and then went their separate ways.
The emperor received Qin Yue's letter only after the morning of the next day. The emperor who read the letter was really worried, he stopped and struggled in the study for most of the day, and finally announced that Duan Chen had entered the palace, told him that Qin Yue had gone to Tongzhou, and asked him to set off immediately to protect Qin Yue along the way.
Duan Chen got the secret order, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and after meeting with Xifeng Xilin outside the city, he hurried to the direction of Tongzhou.
He was angry and anxious along the way, this girl actually hid from him! Obviously, it was okay to meet that day, and he said he would leave, but he was also willful!
But it's useless to be angry or anxious. Two days passed, and there was no shadow of the girl at all.
Seeing that it is getting closer and closer to Tongzhou, there are many people along the way who are dragging their families to the direction of the capital, and the past business travelers are also coming and going in a hurry, and from time to time there are soldiers riding fast horses galloping past to deliver military reports to the capital.
The panicked voices of the people made Duan Chen's heart even more uncomfortable.
"Run, Hu Ren has already called!"
"Tongzhou will definitely not be able to hold it, even General Liu is dead!"
"They have an army of 300,000 people, we only have this few men, where can we win!"
"If you want me to say, the emperor is still unethical, otherwise it's good, how can the Hu people come in? The Hu people haven't fought with us for 20 years. ”
"The last time the emperor went to Dayue Mountain to seal Zen, even the altar collapsed, isn't it enough to explain the problem?"
"I heard that the monks of Jinglong Temple were also killed by the emperor...... It seems to say that the old man Huijue pinched some trick of the emperor......"
While these people fled, they did not forget to gossip about the situation they knew to the people around them.
Duan Chen's lungs were about to explode when he heard this, and he couldn't help but clench his fists tightly with both hands. Although he is not very interested in the emperor because of Jin'er's affairs, he can't allow these people to slander the emperor.
Speaking from the heart, during the ten years of his rule, he reduced forced labor, lightened taxes, worked hard to stabilize the borders, and prospered the market, and did not treat the people badly. But because of this war, the reputation that has been earned for many years of hard work was ruined......
"No matter what the price is, Tongzhou must not be lost!" Duan Chen gritted his teeth, and there was a rare anger on his face, obviously hateful.
Xi Feng looked at the look on his master's face, and couldn't help but tighten his heart.
He followed the white-clothed boy all the way over, and he clearly knew that the current emperor was not an inactive emperor, let alone a faint monarch who killed innocents indiscriminately, but he didn't expect that because of this war, the people lost their trust and even became a tyrant in their eyes......
It's chilling!
Maybe Miss Qin Wu came to Tongzhou this time for this war.
Didn't the young lady of the Shen family back then also have amazing intelligence, and even helped the emperor to conquer the world?
Inexplicably, he connected the Miss Shen family back then with the current Miss Qin Wu. Not only because Miss Qin Wu saved his master, but also because of the courage and courage of this Miss Qin Wu is heartbreaking.
"Master, shouldn't we be faster? Maybe Miss Fifth has already arrived in Tongzhou!"
Hearing this, Duan Chen nodded and looked up at the sky.
It was already evening, and the outline of the city wall could already be faintly seen in the distance, and the grass in the nearby Qianmo farmland was green, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected half of the sky, and the light was not dazzling, shining on the people warmly, and it was particularly comfortable.
It is indeed a beautiful picture!
If it weren't for this war, the picture scroll would be even more beautiful!
Duan Chen couldn't help but sigh, waved his hand at the Xifeng Xilin behind him, and urged the horse forward first.
