Chapter 299: The Forgotten Chess Piece
"Brother Peng, do you think my father will have something?" , Qiu Qingge was sitting next to Peng Yue at this time, still with a sad face. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although Qiu Qingge has been with Peng Yue these days, his mood can be regarded as a great comfort compared to the past few years, but when he thinks that his father is still suffering from prison, Qiu Qingge's face has a layer of gloom from time to time.
"Don't worry just yet, it's useless for you to think like this, right?" , Peng Yue held Qiu Qingge's hand and comforted her gently, "Don't worry, as long as the war is settled, I will immediately rush back to Datong, ask the emperor to intercede, and intercede for Ling Zun." ”
"But Daddy... Dad was arraigned a few days ago, it's been such a long time, who knows if there will be any accidents...", Qiu Qingge sniffed and wiped away his tears again, "I'm afraid the war is over, and it's too late..."
It turned out that since Peng Yue and Qiu Qingge led the army to the small city of Lanxian, it was equivalent to coming to the rear, so they were not very well informed about the news from the front, so there were many things that they didn't know at all.
For example, they don't know that Qiu Luan is not only no longer in danger of his life, but he is full of ambition, and he is in a temporary mansion in the capital, and he is happy with his beautiful maids.
For example, they didn't know that the imperial court had already announced the withdrawal of troops, and this resumption of the war could be described as a failure, and they themselves were not notified at all because of the urgency. The cavalry sent by Li Dequan to meet them also encountered a small-scale enemy on the road, and it turned into a battle, delaying the trip, and has not yet rushed over.
For example, they didn't know that Zeng Mo and Xia Yan had already been imprisoned at this time, and Zhu Houxi's will to behead them was spread in an instant.
"Okay, from the finalization to the order, and then to the implementation, it will be a long time ago...", Peng Yue sighed lightly and comforted softly again, "Besides, Ling Zun is a relative, and the emperor will also take this into account." It's going to be fine, trust me, huh? ”
"Hmm...", Qiu Qingge's mouth flattened, and he sobbed twice, as if he was very reluctant, and squeezed out such a word.
"Okay, be happy, let's finally be together, stay for so long, give me a smile, okay? Well? Good no good? Peng Yue said as he approached Qiu Qingge's eyes, grinned first and gave her a big smile.
"Nasty!" , Qiu Qingge couldn't help laughing when he saw Peng Yue like this, and there were shallow tears on his face, looking like he was crying and laughing, quite a little girl, which made Peng Yue feel pity in his heart.
"My lord...", a charming atmosphere had just spread between Peng Yue and Qiu Qingge, and Zhao Hong broke in at an inopportune time, "My lord, it's not good! ”
Peng Yue looked at this reckless stupid big man, and couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and even his eyebrows were twisted, "What's the matter?" It's worth your fire..."
"My lord, Lan County is surrounded by Tartar soldiers!" , Zhao Hong swallowed his saliva, and he was out of breath, and finally said this sentence in its entirety.
"What? How can it be? As soon as Peng Yue heard the news, he was so anxious that he stood up suddenly, but he dragged Qiu Qingge, who was sitting there, and exclaimed, it turned out that he was still holding someone's little hand and didn't let go...
When Zhao Hong saw this scene, he hurriedly turned his head with concern, pretending not to see it, although he was already surprised...
However, Peng Yue can't care about avoiding suspicion now, anyway, Zhao Hong probably already knows the matter between himself and Qiu Qingge...
I saw Peng Yue quickly walk to Zhao Hong's side and ask in a deep voice, "Where did the Tartar soldiers come from?" Could it be that they brought in the rescuers again? ”
Before Zhao Hong could answer, Peng Yue lowered his head and muttered to himself, "It shouldn't be, the little Tartar soldiers who were reinforced last time have all been surrounded and annihilated, and I am still in Maliang Mountain, how many Tartars can have the courage to rush over..."
"No, sir, that's not the case!" , Zhao Hong was very anxious at this time, so he didn't care if Peng Yue was talking to himself, "The Tartar soldiers surrounding us are coming from the opposite direction, as if... It seems to have retreated from Maliang Mountain! ”
"What did you say?" , Peng Yue had a strong sense of shock in his heart at this time, and he couldn't even come back to his senses, "Since they have fled from Maliang Mountain, how can they still come to besiege here?" This is impossible, don't they have pursuers behind them? Lord Zeng didn't hear from him, saying that he wanted us to send troops and fight with him to attack me back and forth..."
"My lord, looking at them, it doesn't look like they've fled at all, but like... but returned victorious...", Zhao Hong lowered his head and said softly, "The Tartar soldiers are strong, behind them... There are no pursuers..."
"How can this be...", Peng Yue frowned and muttered, and suddenly sat down on the couch, "Could it be... What is wrong with Zeng? ”
At this time, Qiu Qingge, who was sitting on the side, seemed to realize that something was serious, and seeing Peng Yue's unruly appearance, she wanted to step forward to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say...
"Tell the sergeant, prepare to defend against the enemy...", after a long silence, Peng Yue finally spoke, "Remember, only defend and not attack, and you are not allowed to go out of the city... That's it, you go to the city wall right away, and do your job of defending against the enemy..."
"Yes!" At this time, Zhao Hong seemed calmer than Peng Yue, and after listening to his instructions, he clasped his fists and saluted Peng Yue, and then turned around and went out.
"Wait a minute!" When Peng Yue saw that Zhao Hong was about to walk out, he seemed to remember something, and immediately stopped him, "Tell the soldiers, reinforcements will arrive soon!" ”
"Huh? Are you sure? Zhao Hong's eyes widened and he looked at Peng Yue with a look of surprise.
"Really...", Peng Yue replied expressionlessly.
Fortunately, Zhao Hong is not too stupid, and he has already understood at this time, "I know what to do!" ”
Qiu Qingge looked at Zhao Hong's departing back, and then turned his head to look at Peng Yue, with a solemn expression on his face, and sighed twice from time to time, and at this time, he couldn't help beating the drum in his heart.
"Brother Peng, isn't it... What went wrong? Qiu Qingge leaned closer to Peng Yue's side, "Is there something wrong with the war?" ”
"No...", Peng Yue subconsciously shook his head, "You take care of yourself, I may have to go out for a while..."
"Brother Peng...", Qiu Qingge held Peng Yue's hand, "If something really happens, I can help, I... I'll do some work too..."
"Okay, it's nothing, you can rest here...", Peng Yue smiled bitterly, in fact, he really wanted to tell Qiu Qingge that he might really encounter a very critical situation, and he also wanted to tell Qiu Qingge that kung fu basically didn't play a role in the war, but Qiu Qingge had always been just a woman in his mind, and he didn't want Qiu Qingge to bear all this, or rather, he just wanted Qiu Qingge to have a relaxed mood.
"Brother Peng, you don't have to worry about me, I... I just want to help you...", Qiu Qingge showed a sweet smile to Peng Yue, "I know something happened, you can't hide it from me, but... No matter what happens, to be able to be with you, I'm... It's very happy..."
Listening to Qiu Qingge's words, Peng Yue couldn't help but feel agitated for a while, and instantly felt happy. Staring at her eyes, Peng Yue couldn't help but hold her hands tightly.
"My lord, it's not good, it's not good!" , like a black whirlwind, the door slammed open, "Something is wrong!" ”
"What's wrong again?" , Peng Yue stared at Zhao Hong, a panting stupid big man in front of him, and couldn't help but have an urge to roar... (To be continued.) )
