Because Zhu Di withdrew to Beiping, Zhu Yunwen gradually transported all the troops from Shandong and Shanxi to Haijin, and Zhu Di was far away, so the confrontation lasted for nearly three months, Zhu Di did not come out, and Sheng Yong and others did not attack outside, so I didn't even have a chance to enter the city gate.

In the blink of an eye, from the cold winter to the spring of March, Dai Qin and I waited outside the city of Beiping for three months. During this period, although the wound on my chest that was pierced in Dongchang was healed on the surface, there was always a dull pain from time to time, and my body slowly became weaker, not to mention dancing knives and guns, and sometimes it was difficult to even get out of bed. I often urged Dai Qin to continue to go north back to the grassland, but when he saw me like this, he didn't dare to leave anyway, he knew some Qi Huang techniques, but it was limited to the treatment of external injuries, and he couldn't do anything about my hidden pain, and the place where we were was was rarely populated, let alone find a good doctor to see, plus I was always strong in front of him, and the illness was delayed.

One day, Dai Qin's servant and horseman Batel went to the neighborhood to find someone to buy rice and see if he could buy some pain-relieving herbs, but he didn't come back for half a day. This young man is only nineteen years old, very diligent and honest, and he has been getting along very well with me in the past few months, such a chaotic world, he has not come back after a long delay, I am a little anxious, just happened to have a seizure today, so I stood at the door with my chest and looked out.

At first, Dai Qin laughed at my women and Taoist people always like to be frightened, until the afternoon, he still did not wait to return to Battle, and he himself was a little anxious, so he took a knife to defend himself, and prepared to go out to look for him. I was eager to go out together, so I followed him to the outside of the courtyard, but Dai Qin pushed me back, "You can't go out, I see that your face is very ugly today, although you can't bear to say it, I also guessed, it must be a chest pain again, don't worry, I'll go and get Battle back, it'll be fine." ”

Seeing that Dai Qin would not agree to me going out with him, I admonished, "You yourself must be very careful." ”

Dai Qin nodded, and quickly went out. I walked slowly back to my room, and sat down on the edge of the bed, feeling like a thousand knives in my chest, so I had to lie down, anxiously waiting for Dai Qin to bring Battle back.

I don't know how long I waited with my eyes open, but I suddenly heard the sound of fighting outside, and before I could react, the door had been knocked open, and a small soldier covered in blood crashed in, and collapsed on the ground, I quickly endured the pain and sat up, got out of bed and walked to him, before I had time to check who he was, how the injury was, I only felt that a few tall figures in front of me blocked the view, I looked up, only to see several soldiers standing at the door with spears in their hands, staring coldly at me and the wounded soldiers on the ground, The few people who chased in were wearing the uniforms of the Yan army, but the one lying on the ground was the uniform of the imperial court.

I couldn't help but be overjoyed, and was about to get up, but the spears were all pointed at me, "Don't move, who are you!" One of the non-commissioned officers shouted at me.

I said slowly, "I am a resident of Beiping City, because of something out of the city, when I go back, I catch King Yan back to the city and close the door, and I have never entered again, and I have been waiting for a few months, what, did King Yan lead the troops to fight out?" ”

The non-commissioned officer looked me up and down for a long time as if he didn't believe me, and saw that I was thin and weak, with a cowardly expression, and indeed looked sick, so he shrank his weapon back slightly, "Since you are a resident of Beiping, why do you want to run out?" ”

"My brother followed the king of Yan to fight, all the way to Jinan, but there was no news, my parents were old, worried tightly, I had to go out alone, before I arrived in Jinan, I heard that the king of Yan was defeated and returned to the north, so I rushed back again, but I didn't expect to be a step slower, and never returned to the city." I made it up, and when the sergeant saw that there was nothing wrong with what I said, he let his guard down and asked, "Who knows if you're lying?" Where do you live in Peking? ”

"Hua'er Hutong is my house, every time I pass by the palace, I have to ask for a bowl of water in the tea jar laid by the princess at the gate of the palace."

The Yan soldiers looked at each other, looked into the house, and I hurriedly said, "I can't go back to Beiping, and I don't have any entanglements, so I have to find this room that I can't hold back and settle down, sometimes I go out to get some rice and grain for hairpin rings, and sometimes I dig wild vegetables to eat." ”

When the soldier saw that this place was indeed a family with four walls, unlike a family that was passing by, he believed my words more and more, and said, "Since you are from Beiping, go back with us, and don't worry the second elder of the family." ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you! My brother is bound to die on the battlefield, and I am the only one left who can support his old age. ”

These soldiers inspected the southern army on the ground, and found that they had lost their breath, so they found a vacant land outside and buried it hastily, and took me on the road, I excused myself to change clothes, and asked them to wait for me outside the door for a while, and quickly wrote a note in the room, telling Dai Qin that I met the Yan army and could go back to the city, so that he could make a detour back to the grassland with peace of mind. Only then did he open the door and go on the road with these Yan soldiers.

On the way, the non-commissioned officer told me that his name is Gao Bin, since King Yan established himself as the king in Beiping, he joined the army, and it has been more than three years, but when the Shenji Battalion Duoyan Sanwei was in the past, it was not their turn to go to the battlefield with these stragglers, they just stayed in Beiping to garrison the city and maintain the security and safety of the city.

"King Yan was put together by Sheng Yong in Dongchang, and he was defeated by a sneak attack, and he returned to Beiping this time, isn't it a big injury to his vitality, how can he have to rectify it for a year and a half, why do you open the city to meet it now?" Seeing that Gao Bin was more eloquent, I wanted to get some more news about Zhu Di from him.

"We are just a city, and we are always locked up like this, and sooner or later there will be a day when the ammunition will run out, but fortunately, the common people are on the side of King Yan, and now King Yan has rectified an army, so I think that I can't defend it like this, and it's time to take the initiative."

"So where is it now? How's the fight going? I hurriedly asked.

"Between the rivers. The prince got the news that Sheng Yong had assembled a force in Hejian, so he took the elite cavalry to Hejian himself, which was bound to destroy this team, and even more so to take down Sheng Yong, the villain, in one fell swoop to relieve hatred. Although Gao Bin didn't really appreciate the battlefield, his words were extremely protective of Master Yan.

I nodded slightly, "Now the prince has gone to the river, right?" ”

"That's right. For example, the southern army we are chasing today is a spy of the imperial court, who wants to find out about the situation in our Beiping, but fortunately I found it in time and pursued it all the way, of course I can't keep him. Gao Bin said with a smug face, "There are still several squads in the imperial court hanging outside the city, not only peeking at the situation in the city, but also showing no mercy to the people of our Beiping City. Don't let Lao Tzu meet him, otherwise Lao Tzu will let them taste the power of our Peking men! ”

"Shh......h Adult......" Gao Bin's high-minded talk was not over, and a small soldier next to him was already frightened, and shouted softly at Gao Bin, he looked very young, but sixteen or seventeen years old, his face was pale, and he was obviously frightened.

"What's wrong?"

"Look over there." The soldier stretched out his hand and pointed to a high slope not far away, only to see one horse after another slowly appear on the high slope, and slowly there were more than a dozen horses, each horse was a tall and strong Southern army, wearing armor and holding a spear, and we, just three patrolling soldiers with a weak woman, high and low can be distinguished, complaining that this soldier is frightened and his legs are weak.

Gao Bin was a little older, and he was a little scared at this time, but he also knew that the other party was riding a horse, and a few of us were running at this time, and it was futile to rely on just two legs, so we stood and waited for death.

I also have a heart pounding, if it falls into the hands of the Southern Army, in case I am caught by Zhu Yanxue, it is better to die now. The dozen or so horses apparently also spotted us, and slowly approached us, I carefully observed the opponent's position, and then looked at the three people around me, although there was no chance of victory, but still did not want to sit still, snatched the long knife in the hand of the youngest soldier, and said, "You have only killed their people, if it falls into their hands, they will be tortured to death, it is better to fight now, maybe you can take the horses and run away." ”

These people were already frightened and weak, but after listening to my words, they came back to their senses, and they all trembled and said, "What the girl said makes sense!" ”

I quickly put the positions of several people into a small formation, and the four of them leaned against each other, able to support each other and help each other. In the blink of an eye, the southern army had arrived, a total of eleven horsemen, and the people on horseback looked very experienced, and their eyes were like eagle hooks, almost eager to devour a few of us alive.

The leader smiled contemptuously, "Three little white faces, one woman, what, you want to resist?" ”

I frowned and looked at him, thinking to myself that this man must be a small leader, and if I capture him alive, maybe things will turn around, but my health is not as good as before, maybe I haven't touched a weapon for a long time, and I really don't have the slightest confidence in myself. But after all, it is better to give it a try than to sit still.

Eleven horses also saw our formation, so they also surrounded us, the southern army on horseback was a lot taller than all of us, all looking at us, even following Zhu Di on the battlefield, I was also fighting happily, but at this time, I could neither move nor hide, I had never been so nervous and embarrassed.
