Qin Fei had already tried his best to install some of his own people in Jinling City before the old illness appeared, and when Shi Daolin left, although he was sick and unconscious, he had Cai Wei by his side, taking care of his sick body, while secretly dispatching, it took a few days to firmly hold the city defense of Jinling in his hands.

At this time, she was in charge of all major matters in Jinling City, so Qiu Wu would have this question.

"Princess, the Tartar soldiers are strong and strong, the artillery is also powerful, and the combat power is too strong, forgive your subordinates for daring to say that His Royal Highness is now recovering from his illness and personally commanding the defense of the city, I am afraid that it can only last for ten days and half a month at most, there are only 20,000 people in our city, but the Tartars have 80,000 elite soldiers, the disparity between strength and weakness is too clear, and this Jinling City cannot be defended no matter what. What's more, now that His Royal Highness is sick like this, it is better for us to withdraw from Jinling first, and then plan later! ”

After Qiu Wu finished speaking, he didn't hear the princess answer him for a long time, and he couldn't help but look up, and saw that the princess was holding one hand with one hand, looking at a certain place in the void in a daze, as if she was too void, and she didn't hear his words in her ears.

He couldn't help but say anxiously: "Princess, time is pressing, that Tartar will be in the city in a few days, you have to hurry up and get an idea!" If we hesitate and hesitate, I'm afraid it will be too late for us to leave! ”

The red lady sitting next to her was not happy, "What are you yelling about!" The tartar hasn't come yet, so he thinks about running away first, like a turtle with a shrunken head, are you still not a man? If you rulers anoint the soles of your feet and run away, what will happen to the people of the city? Are you not the arrogance of the long tartars to extinguish your own majesty? If you want to follow me, what to run, let's stay and fight to the death with the Tartars, we have to let them know that we Han people are not soft bones who are greedy for life and afraid of death, not so easy to bully, rabbits are anxious and know how to bite, we should fight to the death with them, give them some color to see, it's a big deal that the fish dies and the net is broken! ”

Qiu Wuhuo is so big, it is the first time that he has been scolded for not being a man or a turtle, or being ridiculed by a woman like this, how can he bear it, and immediately retorted: "Touching a stone with an egg, that's not bloody, that's stupid." It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and only by staying in the green mountains first, can he beat the Tartars to the ground in the future. ”

"Then you can't just run away from the wind doing nothing? Such a nest, in the eyes of the people, will only chill their hearts, even the people in your court are so unmotivated, only thinking about the importance of fleeing for their lives, who is willing to risk their lives to defend the country? ”

Qiu Wu wanted to say more, Cai Wei waved his hand to stop the argument between the two of them and said, "Okay, you all don't quarrel, I have come up with a method of double perfection, which can both defend the city and live!" ”

After listening to her two methods, the red lady opened her mouth wide in surprise, and she couldn't close her mouth for a long time. Although there were female generals of the Yang Sect in the Northern Qin Dynasty, and the twelve widows went to the west, in the end, they were the daughters-in-law who came out of the gates, and there was always some family history. But this princess sister looks delicate, it is estimated that she has never killed a chicken in Dalian since she was a child, and she still wants to defend the city for her husband?

Qiu Wu's head shook like a rattle, and he would never agree with her idea. "Princess, my subordinates can't say anything to protect Your Highness and leave first, let you stay and guard this Jinling City. Don't say anything about it, just say the weight of your Highness in your heart, if Your Highness wakes up and doesn't see you by his side, what will be the consequences, my subordinates don't dare to think about it! ”

He is Qin Fei's closest bodyguard, and he naturally knows the weight of this Princess Zhou in the hearts of His Royal Highness, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is as heavy as a thousand pounds. It's not his wife, it's his life, no, more important than his own life. When he followed these two before, when there was danger, Qin Fei would not rather take his own life, but also protect his daughter-in-law.

"Princess, do you still remember the first time you and Your Highness went to Quanzhou that year, on the way you met Zhang Jinzhong and their group of homeless people, in danger, His Royal Highness instructed me at that time, and ordered me to protect the princess to escape first. Later, His Royal Highness repeatedly explained to me that in the future, whenever I was in danger, the safety of the princess would be the first priority. ”

"If His Highness wakes up and knows that his subordinates have left the princess in Jinling City to resist the army of Tartars, I am afraid that His Highness will be the first to cut off the heads of his subordinates. Even the princess doesn't care about your own life, but for the sake of the lives of her subordinates, you must stay by Your Highness's side. Even if you don't care about the cheap life of your subordinates, you can also think about it for Your Highness, he is now sick like this, if his condition improves, but you don't see you by his side, he will definitely get sicker, and he will not be able to afford to get sick, princess! ”

Cai Wei smiled lightly, "Where is it so terrible as you say." His Royal Highness's illness this time has already diagnosed the cause, the reason why his old disease is so bad this time is because he has now recovered his body's vitality, and when the righteous qi is abundant, he will naturally completely drive out the cold and evil qi in his body. In more than ten days, not only will the disease be cured, but even his chronic illness will be completely broken, and there will be no more such an illness in March or April. ”

"But even if His Highness is in good health by then, if he doesn't have you, it will be like a stab in his heart, what injury can be worse than a heartbreak? Even if he cut me first, and then wipe his neck and martyred his subordinates, it would not be a surprise. ”

Cai Wei said helplessly: "I am husband and wife with His Royal Highness, what kind of character he has, can I still not know?" Since I dare to defend Jinling City for him, I have already carefully calculated all the qiqiē. I ordered you to escort him out of the city first, naturally so that he would be safe and sound, but not that your master and servant would finally escape from danger and cut off his head and wipe his neck. ”

"Your life is your life, is my own life not my life? I value Your Highness's life, and I value my own life as much as I do. People, only by surviving first, can we talk about anything else. ”

"If, as you said, I left Jinling with His Highness, who else would defend the city? As the red lady said, the commanders who defended the city ran first, it was too much to destroy their momentum, and we still lost to the Tartars in the end, but the spirit of resisting foreign enemies and defending the country cannot be lost. After all, Jinling City is not another place, but the capital of my Yan and Qin founding countries, and the current Liudu is different from other cities in the south of the Yangtze River. In any case, it is impossible to flee without abandoning the city and surrender without a fight, not to mention, the imperial court has also issued a decree ordering His Royal Highness to hold Jinling until the last moment! ”

"You and Your Highness will go out of the city first, and this Jinling City will be handed over to your subordinates to guard, and when the time comes, your subordinates will put on Your Highness's clothes and armor, and bear the name of Your Highness, won't you be able to give an account to the court?"

Cai Wei shook her head and said, "You guard Jinling, how many days can you keep it?" ”

"It's not easy to find someone to pretend to be His Highness and bear his name, but who among you can pretend to be his scheming and wise? It is you who wear the armor of Your Highness, but how much do you know about the various methods of military use when Your Highness guards the city? That is, you know how much do you know about the various emergency response strategies when it comes to facing the enemy on the battle array? Can you adapt and respond in a timely manner? ”

Qiu Wu was speechless all of a sudden, although his martial arts were high, but he didn't know anything about the art of war, and when it came to marching and fighting, he was far inferior to this delicate princess. Previously, when he was in Jinan, he had listened to His Royal Highness discuss defense and armament with the princess several times. He had known His Royal Highness's skills for a long time, but he didn't want the princess to be so powerful, it seemed that there was no military book that she hadn't read, and it wasn't just a paper talk.

I have to say that if the princess is in charge of the defense of Jinling, I am afraid that she will be able to guard it for at least ten days.

"Only the longer I stay in Jinling in the name of His Highness, the farther you can protect Your Highness. The scouts I sent out have already found out the news, that Hao Duo was slapped in the face by His Highness because of the previous long-term attack on Jinan, and he has been haunted by it, and he has already ordered this siege of Jinling, and His Highness must be captured alive to eliminate the hatred in his heart. Therefore, don't stay on the road, go all the way south, go to Quanzhou, and defend Fujian, where you can attack Jiangnan, and if you are defeated again, we can retreat to the sea again. ”

"What about you, princess?"

"I will use the identity of Master Zhou to stick to Jinling City until the last moment, the world knows that King Linchuan and his Master Zhou have always been inseparable from Meng, Meng is not out of focus. When the city of Jinling is broken, I will disguise myself as another ugly-looking man, quietly escape from the city with the people, and go to Quanzhou to meet you. ”

"Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you, I will write you a handwritten letter, and when Your Highness wakes up, you can show it to him, and he will understand my intentions in doing this."

Although Qiu Wu had been persuaded by her, he still shook his head and said: "Since the princess insists on staying to guard the city, her subordinates have nothing to say, but the princess must have someone around to protect her, and she also asked the princess to send another person to escort Her Royal Highness out of the city to the south, and her subordinates should keep in mind Her Highness's instructions and stay to protect the princess." ”

"This-" Cai Wei was a little embarrassed for a while, she really needed a person with strong martial arts to protect her, but Qiu Wu was Qin Fei's most trusted personal guard, and she could only rest assured if she handed Qin Fei into his hands.

Seeing that she was a little embarrassed, the red lady patted her thigh and said, "Sister Princess, if you don't dislike it, how about I come to be your personal guard?" ”

Qiu Wu hurriedly said: "How can this be done?" ”

The red lady threw him a big white eye, "Why can't it be?" I have practiced since I was a child, and more than a dozen strong men are not my opponents, I have traveled through the rivers and lakes, and I have fought on the battlefield, but I can't protect the princess and sister? Besides, this man and woman can't kiss, since the princess is a sister, then her personal guard must also be a woman, you are a big man to be her personal guard, this is not suitable! ”

Cai Wei also nodded and said: "It's true that as the red lady's sister said, it's more convenient for the sisters to be together." It's just—"

She looked at the red lady and said, "Mr. Li Yan's illness is not yet well, I want to arrange for Mr. Li to go first with His Royal Highness, sister, don't you stay with him and go with him?" "After all, staying to guard Jinling is still somewhat risky.

The red lady didn't hesitate at all, and said with a hearty smile: "Although Mr. Li is a treasure in my heart, I just take a man seriously, and I have never thrown my sisterhood aside in order to cling to a man." What's more, at the moment when this kind of national crisis is at hand, it is too late for me to contribute to the country, how can I have spare time to think about the personal affairs of my children again. ”

"Sister Princess, although I haven't read any books, but when I was a child, I listened to book reviews, and I liked the sentence of General Huo Quai's sentence in the Han Dynasty, 'The Huns have not been destroyed, why should I be at home', as long as the Tartar is not thrown out for a day, I will not think about my private affairs for a day. Anyway, as long as he lives, I will live, and when the Tartars are driven away, there will always be our future. ”
