37. The thirty-seventh step of the minister
After Grandpa Hu came, Xiao Qiao's daily beauty treatment was gone. Hu Xiaoli woke up from a deep sleep for more than a month because of taking pills, and after waking up, he was detained by Grandpa Hu and said that he wanted to check his body, and he didn't leave the house for half a month.
Xiao Qiao had to come once a day, but almost all of them were stopped by Grandpa Hu and didn't let him in. Xiao Qiao sighed, one Grandpa Hu was enough to stand before, but now there are Xiong Ming and Lang Jun, obviously separated by a door, but it seems to be across the moat.
However, Xiao Qiao didn't have much time to spend here in the later period, and news came from the northwest that General Weng met the soldiers and horses of the rebel ministers of the King of Beixian and was trapped in Yong'an Pass, and the eighth prince was captured because he was eager to kill the King of Beixian. Although the eighth prince went as a small soldier, he was a prince after all, and he couldn't really be treated as a small soldier.
Xiao Qiao frowned, Qin Yuyi had been studying with him for nearly a year, he didn't believe that with Qin Yuyi's intelligence, he would really be impatient and be captured, besides, he was still with Xia Er.
But Xiao Qiao believed in Qin Yuyi, it didn't mean that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military also believed it, they sighed and shook their heads. The eighth prince is young, and he is not favored by the emperor, and he has not received systematic education, so it is inevitable that his heart is unstable and his ability is insufficient.
However, Emperor Huiming did not react to Qin Yuyi's affairs, for him, the Eighth Emperor was just a son who had not been remembered a few times for more than ten years, and he did not have much deep feelings. If it weren't for Qin Yuyi himself coming to beg him to join the army this time, he wouldn't have remembered what this prince looked like, even if he didn't have as many heirs as the emperors of the previous dynasty.
The news received by the imperial city was not timely, and at this moment in the northwest, General Weng was sitting in the military tent with several henchmen, pointing to the map on the table, and said in a deep voice: "The eighth prince has already infiltrated in, and now the difference is that the inside and the outside are combined." Tonight, when the Eight Princes send a signal, we can storm and catch them by surprise. ”
"Yes!" Several lieutenant generals looked solemn and replied in a deep voice.
"General, is the Eighth Prince really good?" The big man who thought that his face was full of beard frowned, although the impression that the eighth prince had given them along the way was not an incompetent person, but no matter how steady he was, he was only a twelve-year-old child.
General Weng frowned, and said coldly: "What nonsense? In any case, such a thing cannot be said at this time. ”
The bearded man also reacted, there are not only them in this camp, but also a big prince who is a prisoner!
Dahan lowered his head in embarrassment, and General Weng waved his hand, "We have been trapped here for almost a month, this time it must be a breakthrough, go and take a good rest, and tell the soldiers to attack at night tonight." ”
After the lieutenants stepped back one by one, General Weng frowned and looked at the drawings on the table. Before reaching Yong'an Pass, the Eighth Prince had approached him, hoping to learn the art of war from him, a twelve-year-old prince who had never been favored by the emperor stood in front of him with his back straight, and there was no trace of joke on his face.
He didn't want to get involved in the royal battle, so he had always stayed away from the princes, but when he saw the eighth prince stubbornly looking at him in a soldier's uniform, his heart softened for a moment.
There was only this incident of the Eighth Prince infiltrating the enemy camp, which was just a gamble for the stubborn prince to win some more chips for his future.
"It's up to you." General Weng sat on the Taishi's chair and looked at the map in distraction. If the Eighth Prince can really help the army win this war, even if it teaches him the art of war, anyway, the Eighth Prince is not like a person who can compete for the throne in a short time.
Night came quickly, Qin Yuyi sat in the corner of the wall, coughing lowly, "Xia Er, what time is it?" ”
From the small window on the high place, there was a soft voice, almost no fluctuations, "Back to Your Highness, it's almost time." ”
Qin Yuyi showed his face that was a little dirty because he was captured, gently wiped his face with his sleeve, and stood up against the wall, the clothes behind him were already stained red with blood, which was the blood he shed today because he was injured by the arrows in his back.
Qin Yuyi felt a little black in front of him, he knew that this was the result of blood loss, if he hadn't said that he was the eighth prince, he would probably have been killed by the rebel of the Beixian King with a sword.
"Go and see the staffing outside." Qin Yuyi took out a pill from the inner pocket of his clothes, this was the medicine that Hu Li's brother gave him to replenish qi and blood before he left, and he was reluctant to take it out and use it.
Qin Yuyi cherished the pill and swallowed it with saliva.
It didn't take long for Xia Er to return, "Your Highness, the guards outside patrol once every quarter of an hour, as long as you calculate the time, you can reach the military tent of King Beixian as you wish." ”
Qin Yuyi felt that the medicinal power of the pill in his body was already moistening his meridians, and even the wound on his back was no longer so painful, he grabbed the shackles on his feet with both hands and used them violently, and the shackles actually broke with them.
Xia Er's pupils shrank outside, and the Eighth Emperor really still cultivated the body forging technique that was enough to make people suffer from death and life.
"Let's go." After Qin Yuyi removed all the shackles on his body, he stood at the door and looked at the guards outside, counting the time in his heart, and spoke after a while.
Xia Er didn't answer, but Qin Yuyi knew that he was following him. Qin Yuyi evaded the guards, cautiously advanced in the shadows of the various military tents, and then went to pick up the clothes of the Northern Xian King's army, and pretended to be anxious to run to the latrine, that is, not far from the grain and grass.
"Xia Er, why are there so few people here?" Qin Yuyi ran all the way over, but he only saw a few people, which did not match the number of troops he saw here during the day.
Xia Er looked up at Qin Yuyi and said in a low voice, "They are going to attack at night, and they have already ordered troops to set off." ”
Qin Yuyi stopped suddenly, and after a pause, he trotted forward again, "Night attack?!" What about King Beixian? ”
"It's still in the tent." Xia Er seemed to have his feet on the ground, and followed behind Qin Yuyi lightly, looking around vigilantly.
Qin Yuyi hid behind a camp tent where grain and grass were placed, took a breath softly, looked at the central military tent not far from here, and narrowed his eyes.
"Ahh
"Xiaoli!"
When he heard Hu Li's exclamation, Xiao Qiao was sitting opposite Grandpa Hu, listening to Grandpa Hu talk to him about some cultivation problems. Although Grandpa Hu has never let him see Hu Li much, he will teach him carefully what should be taught to him, which can be regarded as a recognition of him.
When the two heard Hu Li's voice, they quickly pushed open the door, and when they walked in, they saw Hu Li panting and looking like he was in a state of despair.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Qiao gently hugged the person into his arms, patted him on the back, Hu Li calmed down, shook his head and said confusedly: "I don't know what's wrong?" Suddenly, I felt palpitations and was scared awake. ”
Xiao Qiao didn't care that Grandpa Hu was still there at the moment, chuckled and lowered his head and kissed his forehead, "Is it a nightmare?" ”
"I, I don't know." Hu Li thought about it, and his reaction still didn't know what was wrong.
Grandpa Hu frowned, lowered his head and quickly pinched his fingers, and soon his face changed slightly, he looked at Hu Li and asked, "Who did you give the pill in your hand?" ”
"Huh?" Hu Li raised his head, even more confused, he pointed at Xiao Qiao, "The pill I practiced myself was given to Brother Xiao, as well as Xiao Jingshu and the Eighth Prince." ”
"Eighth Prince, no wonder?" Grandpa Hu frowned and let go, and patted Hu Li's head, "You gave the pill to the Eighth Prince, and you have a trace of cause and effect with him, plus he is a member of the royal family, although it has little impact on you, but he can have some premonitions when he is in crisis." ”
Xiao Qiao frowned slightly, "Are you saying that the Eighth Prince is in danger?" ”
"There was a crisis, but the end result was good." Grandpa Hu said lightly, "Okay, you continue to cultivate, don't plan to go out until you stabilize all the power in your body." You, come out with me. ”
Grandpa Hu's words Xiao Qiao and Hu Li still have to listen, Hu Li glanced at Grandpa Hu sadly, then fell into Xiao Qiao's arms and poked Xiao Qiao's chest, "Brother Xiao, don't worry, I will be able to cultivate soon." You also take advantage of grandpa's here, learn more from him, I am not as good as grandpa to teach you. ”
Grandpa Hu was very happy with Hu Li's last sentence, and his attitude towards Xiao Qiao was better. Xiao Qiao smiled and pinched Hu Li's cheek, looking at his dripping eyes, he knew that he was deliberately slapping Grandpa Hu's ass.
Hu Li's premonition was good, at that time, Qin Yuyi secretly lurked outside the king tent of King Beixian, watched Xia Er kill King Beixian with a sword, and then took him to burn King Beixian's grain and grass and then hid in the reeds next to the low-lying pond not far behind King Beixian's camp.
When he ran out of the camp of King Beixian, he burned his arm because of the fire. Xia Er dipped his arm in the pond, feeling the cold pond water at night gurgling past the burned place, and Qin Yuyi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Highness, I'll give you medicine." Xia Er took out the wound medicine he was carrying, and gently sprinkled the medicine powder on the wound, "The conditions here are simple, you can only wait until you return to the camp to find the military doctor to show you the injury." ”
"It doesn't matter." Qin Yuyi waved his hand, he was accidentally burned by himself, he looked at the head that belonged to King Beixian next to him, and he felt a little incredulous.
Since King Beixian dared to rebel, he must have made all kinds of preparations a long time ago, and he really let his sneak attack succeed. Qin Yuyi tilted his head, okay, it was Xia Er's sneak attack that was successful, and the person given by the teacher was really useful!
Xia Er took him around in a big circle, avoiding the pursuers of the Northern Sage King, and only returned to the camp the next evening, he was covered in dirt and carrying something wrapped in a cloth bag.
Because of Qin Yuyi, although this counterinsurgency lost a lot of soldiers and horses because of the previous stalemate battle, fortunately, it still won a complete victory and wiped out the lair of King Beixian.
Emperor Huiming's dragon heart was happy, and after the army returned to Beijing, he praised the eight princes who had made great contributions this time, and even made the eight princes as the general of Mingwei, which made the eldest prince who went with him red-eyed.
However, the Eighth Prince knelt on the cold hall in front of the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty, and only begged Emperor Huiming to let him go to practice martial arts with General Weng.
Emperor Huiming was full of smiles, he thought that he had almost no future as an emperor, but he didn't expect that Yu still had some talent in martial arts. Thinking of the book that he had memorized before, Emperor Huiming sighed, no wonder he grew so big, and the dead Lin didn't think of asking for a favor to let Qin Yuyi enter the school!
It's really that Qin Yuyi really has no talent in literature, and it's just right to be a general!
