Chi Fengdian immediately smiled and said: "Guogong has surrendered Shen Tuluo, the governor of the Qi State Naval Army, and the emperor learned of the report, and the dragon's heart is happy." This Shen Tu Luo is a famous general of Qi and a pillar of Qi State, as long as Shen Tu Luo submits to my Great Qi, Qi State will no longer be able to pose any threat to my Great Chu. The emperor decreed that he would bring people to escort Shen Tuluo back to Beijing, and the saint would personally summon Shen Tuluo and reward him. ”

"Oh?" Qi Ning knew that Mo Wentui had already made a break to the imperial court, and the emperor naturally knew that Shen Tuluo had surrendered, but he didn't expect the imperial court to send someone over so soon.

However, Chi Fengdian led people not necessarily to escort Chi Fengdian, it was nothing more than to escort Shen Tu Luo to the capital, and then put him under house arrest by the imperial court, after all, the war is not over, and placing such an important figure as Shen Tu Luo in Huize City can not make the imperial court too down-to-earth, only by putting it under the emperor's nose can the little emperor feel at ease.

"The emperor's will, but to let Shen Tuluo enter Beijing immediately?"

Chi Fengdian nodded and said, "Exactly." He took out a scroll from his bosom and presented it to Qi Ning: "Guogong, this is the Holy Lord's edict, and it is still light!" ”

Qi Ning took the edict, which was naturally not as formal and grand as the holy decree, but it was also stamped with a seal, and above the edict, it was concise and clear, so that Chi Fengdian brought Shen Tuluo back to the capital.

Qi Ning handed the edict back to Chi Fengdian, and said with a smile: "Since it is the emperor's will, you should obey it." But! ”

"Is the government in trouble?"

"But Commander Chi can't take him back to Beijing immediately." Qi Ning said: "Commander Lao Fuchi will wait here for another day or two." ”

Chi Fengdian was slightly surprised, but he still said respectfully: "Guogong, is Shen Tuluo in this Huize City?" ”

Qi Ning nodded and said, "It's in the house next door, and someone is sent to protect it." ”

"That's good." Chi Fengdian thought that something had changed, and when he was sure that Shen Tuluo was in the city, he immediately felt at ease, and arched his hand: "Although the edict is to bring Shen Tuluo back to Beijing immediately when he arrives here, everything is still under the orders of the Duke of Guo. ”

Qi Ning smiled: "This is very good, it won't make you wait too long." Then he smiled and said: "This is a small border city, it can't compare to the capital, so I can only set up a simple banquet tonight to wash the dust for Commander Chi." ”

Chi Fengdian hurriedly said: "Guogong is polite. Bei will go out of the city, his brothers did not enter the city, stationed outside the city, Bei Jiang thought that he would be able to take over Shen Tuluo today, so he was preparing to return to Beijing overnight tonight, since the prince asked us to wait for a day or two, Bei Jiang first went out of the city to settle down. ”

"Commander Chi left his subordinates outside the city?" Qi Ning was surprised: "Why don't you bring it into the city?" "I thought that the Royal Feather Forest Battalion was not an ordinary soldier after all, and when I came to Aize City, I didn't have to stay outside the city.

Chi Fengdian explained: "The humble general brought three hundred feather forests, the number is too many, if you enter the city, it will inevitably disturb the people in the city, so! ”

"Three hundred?" Qi Ning was even more surprised.

The total of the royal Yulin battalion is only 2,000 soldiers and horses, and this time the commander of the Yulin battalion brought 300 Yulin to escort Shentuluo, which is really a lot of people, which also shows the importance that the little emperor attaches to Shentuluo.

Chi Fengdian said: "The saint is also to ensure that nothing goes wrong, if the number of people is too small, I am worried that other accidents will happen." ”

Qi Ning bowed his head slightly and asked, "Is the emperor always good?" ”

"The Northern Expedition made the emperor worry day and night." Chi Fengdian sighed: "The emperor summons ministers every day to discuss important matters, before the disappearance of the prince, the emperor was even more worried, until the Xichuan assassination was sent to the palace, the emperor was relieved a lot." Although there is a lot of grain in Huize City, the emperor is worried that the Northern Expedition will drag on for a long time, and there will be a big incident if there is a lot of logistics supply at that time, so he has been asking the household department to continue to raise grain, just in case. Then he smiled and said: "And the Dongqi Sailor has been cruising in the Huaishui, cutting off the channel for supplying grain and grass to the front, so the saint has always been poor at eating and sleeping, and this time he knew that Guogong had opened up the grain road, so he was overjoyed." ”

Qi Ning knew that in the battle of the Northern Expedition, the little emperor must be under great pressure, and the little emperor was young, and it was not easy to survive.

He wanted to ask what the queen's attitude was after the Qi State was broken, after all, she was born in the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and she was the princess of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and the Chu State broke through the Qi State, which would inevitably affect the relationship between the emperor and the empress, but he thought that this was a matter of the palace, although Chi Fengdian guarded the imperial city, he might not know a lot about the internal affairs of the palace, and it was not very appropriate for one of his ministers to ask Chi Fengdian about these, so he didn't ask more.

Chi Fengdian said goodbye and left the city, and not long after leaving, someone came to report: "Report, Captain Xuanyuan asks to see!" ”

Qi Ning heard that Xuanyuan Po was back, he was overjoyed, and personally greeted the door, and when he saw that Xuanyuan Po was already waiting outside the door, when he saw Qi Ning, he immediately stepped forward and said: "Guogong, fortunately, I am not dishonored!" ”

Qi Ning let out a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Whether Duan Shao can be brought back smoothly is a matter of great importance, and he is still worried that there will be some unexpected changes in the middle, at this moment, knowing that Duan Shao will be brought back as planned, a hanging stone in his heart finally landed, and said with a smile: "Captain Xuanyuan has really made a great contribution this time!" ”

Xuanyuan Po has been traveling day and night in the past few days, and he is quite tired, but he still shows a sense of relief between his eyebrows, and smiles: "Everything is planned by the Guogong. He also said: "Guogong, the people have been settled, how should they be sent next, and should they be sent to the capital?" ”

"The emperor has sent someone to escort him." Qi Ning said in a low voice: "It's just that before sending them to the capital, there is still one more thing to do." After thinking for a while, he said, "Shen Tuluo has also been brought back by me, and I will arrange for them to meet later." ”

When it got dark, the city fell silent.

In addition to a part of the prepared grain and grass left in the warehouse, most of the grain has been sent to the front, after the last batch of grain is delivered, the scene of the endless flow of people in Aizawa Castle for the past few days has disappeared, as soon as it gets dark, the city gate is closed, the city is still under curfew, and there are no pedestrians on the streets.

Qi Ning has been living in the county government for the past few days, and there is a house on the left side of the county government, which is guarded by soldiers before and after, and Shen Tuluo is placed in this house.

Since Shen Tuluo entered the house, he has stayed at home, and someone has brought food every day.

For Shen Tuluo, his purpose was very clear, that is, to save Duan Shao's life, and until he saw that Duan Shao was safe and sound, he naturally would not have any negotiations with any Chu people, even Qi Ning, he had no interest in communicating with him.

In the past few days, in addition to recuperating his energy, he has been reading books and wiping his saber in his free time.

The knife had been wiped by him, and it was only with this knife in his hand that he felt that he was still in control of the overall situation.

There was a knock at the door, and Shen Tuluo frowned, retracted the shiny broadsword in his hand, and placed it on the table.

It was already dark, and the lights were lit in the room, so he didn't get up, but said lightly: "Who is it?" ”

The door of the house was pushed open, Shen Tuluo turned his head to look over, and when he saw someone coming, he was stunned for a moment, then he got up, stepped forward quickly, and knelt on one knee: "Your Highness!" ”

The person who pushed the door in was none other than Duan Shao.

Duan Shao had already changed into a clean shirt, and there was no one else behind him, when he saw Shen Tuluo, he immediately stretched out his hand to help him up, his eyes were already red, and his voice trembled slightly: "Metropolitan Governor, hurry up!" He picked up Shen Tuluo and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect us to meet here!" ”

Shen Tuluo landed in the city and waited here for many days, just for Duan Shao, seeing that Duan Shao was safe and sound, his heart was steady, he glanced out of the door, and no one followed, so he closed the door, raised his hand and said, "Your Highness sits first!" ”

Duan Shao's eyebrows were full of frustration, he walked to the table and sat down, Shen Tuluo poured a cup of tea and put it on the table, and then sighed: "Your Highness is safe and sound, this is great." ”

"Governor Dadu, we have fallen for the people of Chu." Duan Shao clenched his fists and said: "Dongying's group of lowly ninjas actually took refuge in the people of Chu, and the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division rioted, I!" ”

"Your Highness, none of this matters." Shen Tuluo said: "Your Highness, everything is safe, this is the most important thing." ”

Duan Shao sighed lightly and said with a wry smile: "Now we are all prisoners of the Chu people, it is really a great shame!" ”

"Your Highness, the capital of the country has fallen, the sailors have collapsed, and I want to restore the country, which is already wishful thinking." Shen Tuluo said: "Now that the matter is over, we don't have any thoughts of recovering the country." ”

Duan Shao's face changed suddenly, his eyes showed a cold color, and he said in a deep voice: "Grand Governor, have you really surrendered to the people of Chu?" He got up and said, "Although this palace was arrested by them and became a prisoner under the ranks, it was not because he was greedy for life and afraid of death, but he wanted to go to Chu State to meet my sister-in-law and ask him face to face, why do you want to be treacherous?" Staring into Shen Tuluo's eyes: "Why did the Grand Governor come here?" Were you captured, or did you surrender to the people of Chu on your own initiative? ”

Shen Tuluo's face did not change, and a finger actually reached into the tea and dipped it, and then said: "Your Highness, the minister is just thinking about the safety of His Highness." The minister doesn't care about life and death, but His Royal Highness is the last bloodline of Daqi, and it can't be cut off. As he spoke, he had already written the words "The wall has ears" on the table with his fingers dipped in water, Duan Shao immediately became alert, and couldn't help but look at the roof, he was already quite shrewd, and immediately understood what Shen Tuluo meant, and cooperated: "The country is ruined, even if the palace is alive, what can it mean?" ”

"Your Highness, Daqi is already weak in national strength and cannot be compared with Chu and Han, and it is inevitable that it will be at this point." Shen Tuluo said as he continued to write with water on the table, and continued: "The minister thinks that since it is unavoidable, it is better for us to accept it calmly. The ministers can negotiate with the people of Chu, and they will not hurt His Highness when the time comes, if they can make some efforts for the people of Chu, the people of Chu may be able to give His Highness a big reward, as long as they can pass on the bloodline of the Duan family, it is worth paying some price. But he had already written the word "Moying" on the table with his hand.
