Chapter 335: War
In the dark night, in a deserted woods outside the capital, there was a longing for the fire. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When I got closer, I found that a lot of torches were quietly burning, and the people around the torches were dressed in black, pulling off the beard on their faces to disguise, and it was Qi Chenyu, who had been missing for many days.
I watched as the other people around me slowly removed the camouflage from their bodies.
Qi Chenyu asked in a deep voice, "Have all of our people come out?" ”
Ding Gang silently counted the number of people and replied: "The people who plan to go out of the city have already come out, Yan Wei and Ying Wei have a total of sixty people, and the rest of the people stayed in the city according to the master's orders, scattered and hidden everywhere. ”
Qi Chenyu breathed a sigh of relief at this time, leaning against the tree behind him, his face slightly tired.
These days have been through more than he has endured since he was a child.
He has been the only prince of the emperor since he was a child, the future prince, the eunuchs in the palace, and the palace maids all hold him, and the ministers in the court all respect him.
When he became the crown prince and later ascended the throne as the emperor, although the political affairs of the court and the central government were cumbersome and a little tricky to deal with, some courtiers were willing to share his worries, and he only needed to make a decision.
It can be said that he has been pampered since he was a child, where has he ever endured this embarrassing day of being driven out of the palace, tracked, and hunted down.
If it weren't for the strong unwilling support in his heart, he would have fallen long ago.
"Qi Chenjing, you wait," he gritted his teeth and said in his heart, "It won't be long before I come back and get all this back, this capital, this country, can only be mine." ”
If there was no Qi Chenjing, there would be no today, even if he is not the blood of the first emperor, but no one will ever know that he can still be his emperor and sit on the world.
Everything he has today is because of Qi Chenjing, and it was Qi Chenjing's appearance that ruined everything he had.
Qi Chenjing, I won't let you go, what you let me bear today, he will pay it back a hundred times in the future.
Qi Chenyu rested for a while, then stood up straight, "Get ready to go." ”
While it's night, it's time to hurry.
Ding Gang asked, "Master, are we going to Jingxi Daying or Jingdong Daying?" ”
There are 30,000 soldiers and horses in the Jingdong camp and 20,000 soldiers and horses in the Jingxi camp, and Qi Chenyu secretly transferred some to Beijing before, and now there are less than 20,000 horses left.
In terms of where they are now, the distance of Jingdong Daying is closer.
Qi Chenyu was silent for a moment and shook his head, "It is estimated that the Jingdong camp will not be able to go, you send a shadow guard to the Jingdong camp to quietly investigate." ”
Ding Gang was taken aback, "The master suspects that the Pingzhang Guild has betrayed you?" Can't you? You trust him so much. ”
A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Qi Chenyu's mouth, "I guess I have betrayed, I have been trapped for so many days, if he had the heart, he would have sent troops to attack the city a long time ago, how could he have been holding his troops still?" ”
When he secretly transferred troops to Beijing earlier, Li Wen found a reason to shirk not entering Beijing, so he transferred people from the camp in western Beijing.
At that time, he should have thought that Li Wen already had a different heart.
It's just that I don't know if Li Wen is obedient to Qi Chenjing or wants to take advantage of the chaos to establish himself as king.
"This thief! I trust him like I usually do. Qi Chenyu couldn't help but scold Li Wen.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, he instructed Ding Gang again, "Where is the Jingxi camp, you go on a trip to test Wang Changyun's tone, if he is still loyal to me, I can enter the Jingxi camp." ”
With Li Wen's example in front of him, he had to be careful.
As he spoke, he patted Ding Gang on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "This is an extraordinary time, we have to be careful, be careful, the only person I can trust now is you." ”
Ding Gang's shoulders sank, and he knelt on the ground busily, "The minister swears to follow the master to the death." ”
"Swear to follow the master." In the woods, there was a clattering and a kneel of Yan Wei and Shadow Guard.
Qi Chenyu pulled up Ding Gang with satisfaction, "Get up, I believe in you." ”
The people in Yan Wei and Ying Wei were all personally selected by him, and he trained with Ding Gang.
If they all betrayed, then he Qi Chenyu would really be at the end of his rope.
A group of people quickly got up and neatly destroyed the traces left in the woods, so as not to be discovered.
Packed up and extinguished the torches, the group quickly left, disappearing in the darkness.
Only the wind was left in the woods.
...............
Kang Yanmei had a good night's sleep, since the poison flower incident, she has not had a good rest, these days hunger, freezing, chasing, panic and other emotions, so that she is exhausted, but there is something in her heart, and she can't sleep peacefully at night.
After talking to Chen Yikang last night, the stone in her heart was put down, and she went back and slept until dawn.
Early the next morning, they bid farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Pingzhang and set off.
The eldest princess of Fuyun took Kang Shaofan, Su Yuhuan and his wife and other members of the Chen family to live in a small village not far from Jingdong.
In less than half a day, they arrived.
Seeing the sweet Tan brother who was sleeping in Su Yuhuan's arms, Kang Yan couldn't help but hug him all of a sudden, hugged him tightly in his arms, and tears fell.
"Okay, it's good to come back safely, it's hard to fall asleep, don't wake up." The eldest princess of Fuyun wiped her tears and was angry with Kang Yan.
Kang Yan was reluctant to put Brother Tan down, so she hugged her and talked to everyone.
Brother Tan fell asleep and there were tears at the beginning of his eyes, and he had to sobb from time to time, Kang Yan was distressed, and when he saw that Brother Tan'er was cleaned up, he solemnly thanked Su Yuhuan.
"Thank you brother and sister for taking care of Brother Tan for me, I'm tired of you."
Su Yuhuan's eyes suddenly turned red, "Where does my sister say, this is what I should do, and besides, there are grandmothers and Mama Zhang, I just take a hand, but Brother Tan, this child is shrewd, and he knows that his mother is not around, so he can't sleep well these days." ”
When Kang Yan heard this, she was sad and proud, and couldn't help but kiss Brother Tan'er on the small forehead.
Seeing that although the eldest princess Fuyun looked haggard, her spirit was not bad, Kang Yan felt a lot better.
"It's all because of us, so that your grandmother will also suffer." Kang Yeon felt a little guilty.
The eldest princess of Fuyun didn't care, "My grandmother has experienced more ups and downs in her life from her youth to the present, and this situation is not in my eyes, but you must be stable." ”
After that, he turned around and warned Chen Yikang, "Go back and tell Jing'er that you must be stable, this matter is nothing, he will be the king in the future, and he will bear much heavier than now." ”
Chen Yikang wrote it down respectfully.
Kang Yan pulled Kang Shaofan over again, "There is suffering in prison, have they tortured you?" ”
Kang Shaofan smiled and shook his head, "Sister, don't worry, my father-in-law has been spotted outside, but he has suffered some flesh and skin, and he has not hurt his muscles and bones." ”
Kang Yan frowned, she was still punished? It seemed that Qi Chenyu was very anxious to put them to death at that time.
"The pain of skin and flesh must also be well maintained, and I am not allowed to go anywhere these days, so I will guard my sister." Kang Yan told him, afraid that Kang Shaofan would go back to the capital to help, "Sister and Brother Tan need your protection." ”
Kang Shaofan knew her intention to maintain, and nodded hurriedly, "Sister, don't worry, I'm not going anywhere." ”
After saying goodbye, the eldest princess Fuyun began to ask about the situation in the capital and the situation when they left Beijing.
After hearing that Pingzhang Gong had returned to Qi Chenjing, the eldest princess Fuyun couldn't help but nodded, "Li Wen has always been calm in battle, and he is a good hand at governing the army. ”
Sure enough, it was arranged by her grandmother, and Kang Yan couldn't help but admire, "Jiang is really still old and spicy." ”
The eldest princess of Fuyun sighed, "I just hope that this war can end smoothly, grandmother is old and doesn't want to bother with these battles anymore." ”
Everyone present was silent, they also hoped that the fighting would end as soon as possible, and no one wanted to live in turmoil.
After a long time, Chen Yikang broke the silence first, "Okay, quickly pack up your things, and I'll send you to Tongzhou." "To Tongzhou?
The eldest princess of Fuyun thought about it for a while, and then understood.
"It's okay, but you don't need everyone to go to Tongzhou, the goal is too obvious, the Chen family's family will stay here, this little Zhuangzi is quite hidden, just me and Yan'er, Fan'er and his wife can take Brother Tan away."
Chen Yikang also means this, her mother, several aunts in the family still take the children to stay here, it is indeed easy to expose their whereabouts when there are too many people.
Everyone had no opinion, so they began to pack their bags, and they had come out to take refuge, and they didn't have much luggage.
Kang Yan still only took Mama Zhang, Yao Huang and Lotus Ye with her to help her take care of their brother.
Brother Tan came to Kang Yan's arms, as if he knew that his mother was back, smelled a familiar smell, and slept very sweetly, until they set off and did not wake up.
The distance between Tongzhou is close, but it takes only half a day to reach the small village of the Chen family.
This small Zhuangzi only has 100 acres of land, and a small Zhuangzi was built, which was the dowry of Mrs. Chen's fourth wife.
The ingenious thing is that the field leans against a mountain, at the foot of the mountain, and the small Zhuangzi is built on the halfway of the mountainside, which is very hidden.
There was only an old couple in Zhuangzi with their son, daughter-in-law, and grandson guarding them, and suddenly saw that the master had such things, and hurriedly asked the daughter-in-law to start cleaning up the main house.
By the time they had packed up and settled in, it was already dark.
Chen Yikang divided the guards of the Chen family into two waves, one group guarded around the courtyard, and the other pretended to be a farmer and lived at the foot of the mountain.
After packing up, Chen Yikang left overnight.
The situation in the capital is tense, and he has to go back quickly.
When Kang Yan got up the next morning, she prepared to quietly go to her Zhuangzi to have a look.
Kang Shaofan didn't want her to go by herself, and insisted on accompanying her over.
So the siblings set off with a few escorts.
Speaking of which, Kang Yan came once after buying this Zhuangzi, and went to see it on the way to Beijing, and never went there since.
Fortunately, Song Haizhen is a reliable person, and she is very relieved.
The distance between her Zhuangzi and Mrs. Chen's Zhuangzi was not close, and the two of them tried to walk behind closed doors as much as possible, which took a lot of effort.
Song Hae-jin was very surprised to see Kang Yeon, who suddenly arrived.
The news of the capital has reached Tongzhou.
Knowing that King An and the emperor had already started a war, Song Haizhen was first shocked, and then excited.
Shocked that King An was going to war with the emperor, and what was exciting was that if King An and the emperor, no, I heard that this emperor was not a real prince, and if King An won, then Kang Yan would be the future queen.
Song Haizhen has never been as fortunate as at this time, if Kang Yan becomes the queen, then as the person who has been following Kang Yan, their Song family will have to change their court from now on.
After the excitement, Song Haizhen thought of the grain that Kang Yan had let him keep in Zhuangzi Shangtun, and King An would definitely need food to fight, so Song Haizhen hurriedly began to prepare.
While leading the Kang Yan sisters and brothers to the granary, he said, "Yesterday, I thought that you and the prince would definitely need these grains, and I started arranging for someone to sort them out yesterday." ”
There are three large granaries built in Zhuangzi, which are dry and ventilated, and it can be seen that Song Haizhen is very attentive.
Kang Yan looked around and felt very satisfied, and asked Song Haizhen, "How much grain is in our three granaries?" ”
"There are two thousand two hundred pounds in total." Song Haizhen knew the amount of food in his chest, and he came as soon as he opened his mouth.
Kang Yan calculated in her heart, she had already asked Chen Yikang yesterday, the soldiers and horses led by Meng Zihan were mainly stationed in the northern and southern suburbs of the capital, and Jingdong had Li Wen's 30,000 elite soldiers.
The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first.
Kang Yan doesn't know how long this battle can last, and there is nothing wrong with having more grain reserves.
"Sister, why don't I live in the Zhuangzi here and deliver grain and grass to the capital with Shopkeeper Song." Kang Shaofan took the initiative to ask Kang Yan for help and patted his chest, "My body is almost raised, and I always let me hold back on the Zhuangzi, and I will hold back my problems." ”
Kang Yan couldn't help but smile when she saw him looking eager.
"Okay, I know your heart, then you can live here, let's talk about it first, you have to pay attention to your own safety when transporting grain and grass to the capital."
Kang Shaofan nodded like pounding garlic.
Kang Yan discussed with them the details and amount of grain and grass to be transported, and of course, the most important thing was safety.
"If you let the enemy cut off the grain and grass in the middle of the road, the gains outweigh the losses, not to mention that the losses are not cheapened." Song Haizhen's face was worried.
Kang Yan praised him for his thoughtfulness, "Don't worry about Shopkeeper Song, I have already agreed with my sixth cousin yesterday, and tomorrow he will send a pair of people from the defenders in the south of the city to be responsible for escorting grain and grass." ”
Those in the south of the city were all soldiers recruited by Meng Zihan when he was in the mall.
Hearing that there were soldiers in charge of escorting, Song Haizhen breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's okay, I'll be in charge of packing it out with the Ninth Young Master tomorrow and loading the car." Song Haizhen began to think about how to do it.
Seeing that everything was properly discussed, Kang Yan set off back to Mrs. Chen's Zhuangzi, leaving only Kang Shaofan here.
Everything that can be done is done, and the next thing is to wait.
She had confidence in Qi Chenjing and believed that he would not let this war last too long. (To be continued.) )
