Chapter 299: Sneaking All the Way
The prince of the pine desert, his cheeks were flushed with anger, and his Adam's apple was swollen. A heavy stomp. "I just want to marry that woman, Song Zhiyao, and make her a concubine."
The emperor was in a hurry and slammed the table. "Dongsheng and Songmo, although it is said that they are good neighbors and friendly, but you do this, there is really no such reason."
At this time, Grandpa Sun ran out of the palace and stopped in front of Prince Songmo. "Little prince, don't make a big fuss, if you have something to say, it's easy to discuss."
It's just that the prince of the pine desert looked at his wrinkled old face, and he was angry. grabbed the old eunuch by the collar and spat in his face.
"You shameless old thing, this king gave you a dowry, but you don't care." Faced with such a situation, Sun Gonggong was at a loss and was in a hurry.
The emperor looked at Prince Songmo and shouted. "Put my grandfather Sun down." He threw another hook punch and hit his grandfather hard in the chin.
This time, he hit Grandpa Sun in the face and bleed. Before the guards could react, he kicked him again and kicked Grandpa Sun away.
At this time, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty had already arrived at the palace. They didn't expect that this prince of the Pine Desert would be so fierce and unreasonable.
Grandpa Sun hit the pillar, his head was dripping with blood, and Bai Huahua's brain burst. Struggling for a while, he convulsed and swallowed.
The guards in front of the palace grabbed Prince Songmo. He shook it hard, with great force, and threw the guards aside.
The Emperor drew his sword and stared at him, the sharp blade, shining brightly. "I order you to get out of my country today, and don't come again."
The officials looked forward, but were blocked by the entourage. "Your Majesty, I just want her, my dignified Prince of Songmo, is sincere."
The Emperor sneered. "If you do evil like this, the world will not tolerate you, even ordinary people's girls, and they will not be given to you, get out of the way."
Another team of guards in front of the palace came, wearing armor and holding Jin Ge, and pressed the attendants together. "Your Majesty, do you want to do it now?"
The Prince of Pine Desert was undaunted, glaring and laughing wildly. "Your Majesty, the scimitar and thanks, you can only choose one thing, the safety of the people is in your Majesty's mind."
Listening to his words, the emperor grasped the hilt of the sword more tightly, and the tip of the sword pointed at his nose. "Do you mean that you want to go to war against my country?"
The prince grinned. "That's right, this autumn is high and the horse is fat, but it's a good time to hunt, but I'm afraid that you are all prey under the arrow."
The emperor's palm turned, and the sharp blade slashed downward. A streak of blood poured out from the prince's shoulder, all the way to his feet.
The prince also looked fearless and sneered. "For the sake of a woman, Your Majesty is like this, it's really not worth it, forget it, I'll take it myself."
The emperor ordered the palace guards to expel them from Dongsheng. "Go back and ask your father, you are so presumptuous, I will discipline you for your father."
The guards, on horseback, escorted them. The prince and his attendants looked at them with a contemptuous smile on their faces, and hummed indiscriminately.
After a few days, I finally arrived at the gate. The guards raised their spears and blasted them out of the gates. In the distance, there is only withered and depressed grass.
The prince turned back and smiled at his attendant. "This time, I'm going to rob that beautiful woman, and you can also let it go."
Talking about them, they all laughed. After a few days, beacon fires were lit everywhere in the villages on the border of Dongsheng, and those pine desert soldiers fiercely robbed the people.
In their hands, they had a blue flag with a line of large letters written on it. "Give Song Zhiyao to our prince, and we will retreat." Along the way, several small cities were broken.
The battle report arrived at the imperial court, and the emperor looked at the fold, anxious. "I didn't expect them to be so fierce."
If there is no strong counterattack, then the entire border pass, the people will be killed and plundered, and the farmland will be destroyed and wasted. "Ladies and gentlemen, who can answer the order?"
The emperor's keen gaze swept over the hundred officials. They all looked at each other, not daring to say a word. "Such a strong enemy, if you go, you will be sent to death."
At this time, Si Baihong puffed up his chest, walked under the dragon chair, and bowed confidently. "Minister Bai Hong, please take your life." There was a look of determination in his eyes.
The emperor also expected that it was him, but he was newly married Yan'er, and it was inconvenient to send him. "Young General, there is still a bride in the family, there is no need to be like this, I will find someone else."
It's just that the emperor, racking his brains, counting the civil and military officials, none of them is suitable for battle. Those enemy soldiers were not only fierce, but also very cunning.
Si Baihong knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily. "Your Majesty, if you send me into battle with the lives of all the people in mind, you will die and have nothing to hate."
Looking at him like this, the emperor was really moved in his heart. "Go, I will send you the most soldiers and horses, and you must take care of your own safety."
Si Baihong returned home and looked at Meng Wenya helplessly, his throat choked. I have all kinds of words in my heart, but at this time, I don't know how to say them.
Meng Wenya looked at him and smiled indifferently. "Xianggong, I'm going to Biansai again, don't worry! The slave family serves the old general at home. ”
Listening to her words, Si Baihong had mixed feelings in his heart, grabbed her neck, and sobbed quietly. "Ya'er, I really didn't expect this to happen."
Meng Wenya stretched out her little hand, pinched Si Baihong, and smiled strongly. "Xianggong, why be a daughter, if you take a bad child, how bad it is."
This time, she amused Si Baihong. He lowered his head, pressed against his round belly, listened to the sound, and whispered.
"Child, when you are born, your father will be back a long time ago, don't be anxious." Meng Wenya washed the armor, dried it again, and hung it on Si Baihong's body.
The next morning, Si Baihong rode a white horse and took a spear and said goodbye to her. "Don't let your father know and let him worry."
Meng Wenya waved her handkerchief with a calm face. "Xianggong, let's go, we'll wait for the good news." The sound of the horse's hooves rattled and stirred up dust.
Soon, Si Baihong took his own soldiers to the battlefield. That series of mountains, from time to time, smoked, everything was destroyed.
He found a mountain man who had escaped by chance and asked him seriously. "Where did those thieves come from? In each direction, how many? ”
The mountain man said with a dark face and scars, trembling. "General, only on that mountain, every time it is a small unit, burn and kill."
Listening to the words of the mountain people, Si Baihong personally went up the mountain to survey the terrain. "It's a difficult place to attack, roads are rough, and water sources are running out."
It's just that this place is a traffic artery. What's more, there is also forest ore produced below. Therefore they must not retreat from here.
Si Baihong took advantage of the fact that it was not dark to build a military village in the mountains. At night, the desert cavalry, howling like hungry wolves, threw torches.
Si Baihong commanded loudly. "Throw stones, shoot arrows." The first line was shot, and the remaining enemies fled, and the fire burned again.
They waited a long time, and in the early hours of the morning, they put out the fire. Si Baihong counted the soldiers and found that they had also lost a lot, and he was very worried.
"That's it, kill a thousand enemies, lose 800 yourself, and that's a bad thing." After another two days, the battle situation was anxious, and he had to write an excerpt asking for help.
Soon the fold arrived in the capital. The emperor could only let Liu Yichen go. "Brother, I can't help you, I will take care of the Song family."
Liu Yichen naturally obeyed his fate. "The major general must be rescued, otherwise, once this war is lost, the country will have no prestige and dignity."
He returned to Song Zhiyao and said helplessly. "Yao'er, I have to fight against the Song Desert and eliminate those thieves, so you can stay at home in peace."
Hearing this, Song Zhiyao was instantly unhappy. "Xianggong, but why? It would be great if Yao'er was allowed to go with Xianggong. ”
Liu Yichen listened to her words and explained helplessly. "There are no eyes on the battlefield, not to mention that at home, your parents are also with you, what are you afraid of?"
Naturally, Liu Yichen didn't say the most important reason. The cause of this war was the tyrannical prince who robbed Song Zhiyao by force.
She looked at Liu Yichen and said with a wry smile. "Xianggong, Yao'er is in the back, clean up the housework for you, it's not in the way, let Yao'er go!"
Liu Yichen thought for a long time and said resolutely. "Yao'er, Xianggong can't promise you, I'll leave now, everyone, please be optimistic about Yao'er."
With that, Liu Yichen walked out of the door quickly and turned his head, for fear of hearing her cry. The old servant hugged Song Zhiyao tightly.
She cried sadly. "Xianggong, why is it so, I just got married, but I was left alone." She burst into tears and trembled.
The old servant said helplessly. "Madam, the royal brother is also for your own good, that pine desert is going to rob you with a large army."
These words were already expected by Song Zhiyao. She wiped away her tears, looked at the sky and smiled. "I'll be back soon, I'm a mere nuisance."
In the evening, she drank a bowl of radish and ginseng soup and fell asleep quietly. I feel that my belly is a little bigger than before, and the child is moving.
She got up slowly, her slender little hands, clutching her belly. "Son, it's really time for you to come, it's just mother, I have to make you stronger."
With that, she got out of bed and drank another bowl of hot soup. "It's really comfortable, I can feel better this way, maybe after ten days and a half months, Xianggong will come back."
At the same time, Liu Yichen took a team of soldiers and horses, escorted grain and grass, to Si Baihong. "Brother Huang, the military situation is very urgent."
He listened to Si Baihong's words and said with a smile. "Major General, I remember you, you have always had high morale, I really didn't expect you to say this."
Si Baihong replied embarrassedly. "There's no way around that, whoever makes the enemy soldiers this time, the combat power is really too strong, we can't fight with them."
Liu Yichen patted him on the shoulder and said. "It's just some Yidi ugly people, relying on the courage of the moment, you and I go up the mountain to see their formation."
With great difficulty, the two climbed to the top of the steep mountain. They looked into the distance, and in the fog of confusion, many tents loomed.
Liu Yichen stretched out his hand and pointed to the middle. "It's the blue-edged golden tent, it's the prince's, let's get ready, get rid of him at once."
Si Baihong listened to his words and spread his hands helplessly. "Brother Huang, I naturally know this, but they are moving too fast."
Before Liu Yichen could react, almost half a pillar of incense, those tents suddenly disappeared. Just the sound of horses' hooves, shaking in the sky.
Liu Yichen tilted his ears sideways, listening to the direction of the horse's hooves. "We took the soldiers to the northeast to face the battle, presumably, they will attack tonight."
Si Baihong and his soldiers merged together and went to the Northeast Post Road. The soldiers fought for a long time, their bodies were tired, their faces were yellow, their muscles were thin, and they walked slowly.
Looking at them like this, Liu Yichen was worried. "This bit of grain and grass only takes half a month, and by the next full moon, it will be used up."
Si Baihong also saw his thoughts, and sighed. "Although these thieves are rampant, it's just you and me, for the sake of the people in this world, how can we give in."
Liu Yichen smiled bitterly and clenched his fists. "If nothing else, just to protect Yao'er, I am an eight-foot man, and there is no reason to retreat."
The two of them raised their heads and looked at the northeast city wall, which was burning with fire. "Young General, you go first, I will protect the grain and grass and stabilize the position."
It turns out that this level, called Tianmen Pass, is one of the most dangerous levels in Dongsheng. Above, the soldiers fought hard, and the walls were stained red with blood.
Si Baihong hit the horses, and those soldiers rushed up together. With a bow and crossbow in his hand, he shot quickly, and it was only after dark that the enemy left.
They counted the corpses and found that Tomori was on his side, and there were more dead than the enemy. "It's disgusting, if only we had come sooner."
