After Chu Yue'an and Yuwen Jinghuai got married, something happened that shocked the government and the opposition, Rouran suddenly launched a sneak attack, and Nantang suffered heavy losses.

As a result, Shen Pinglei took command of the expedition, Shen Pinglei rarely lost battles in his life, and he personally took command, which made the subjects of the Southern Tang Dynasty more relieved.

And Chu Yue'an's newlywed life was almost spent in the attention of this pair of wars.

According to the previous agreement between the Southern Tang and the Zack tribe, the Zack tribe is also reorganizing its troops and preparing to join hands with the Southern Tang to resist the enemy.

"How's the war going now?" Chu Yue'an asked.

After Yuwen Jinghuai came back, he took a sip of water and said: "When you come back, you don't ask me if I'm tired, you just know to ask about the war." At present, the fighting is still very anxious, and both sides have suffered damage, and the situation is unknown. ”

"Hmm." Chu Yue'an nodded, "General Shen is experienced, and he should be a little soft, so it shouldn't be a problem." What is the situation of the Zach tribe now? ”

"I've already sent troops, but I encountered Rouran's attack halfway, and if I want to join forces with Nantang, it shouldn't be so fast." Yuwen Jinghuai rubbed Chu Yue'an's shoulder, "Nantang and the Zach tribe have joined forces, Rouran shouldn't be a problem, don't worry, look at you haven't eaten well during this time, and everyone has lost weight." ”

The bad news came on the second day of the sixth month, when General Shen Pinglei strayed into the enemy's trap and was besieged on Langbei Mountain.

After receiving the news, the government and the opposition were shaken, and some ministers proposed that the war should be stopped in exchange for the safe return of the general, but this plan was not adopted by His Majesty. At this time, His Majesty, at the suggestion of the Queen Mother, asked Sun Liangpeng to go to the border pass in the name of supervising the army to calm the uneasy hearts of the border soldiers.

"Oh no." Shangguan Yan hurriedly came to the Chu Palace, and when he saw Chu Yue'an, he said very anxiously.

Chu Yue'an smiled slightly and asked, "What happened?" When did you become so flustered? ”

"Yimei went to the border, she wanted to save his father, she felt that the court must have given up on her father." Shangguan Yan said anxiously, "I'm afraid I've been gone for at least two days now, what should I do now?" ”

"Isn't that nonsense? Is the battlefield some random place? What can she do when she goes alone? Chu Yuean frowned and said.

"So what now? You can't just watch her die, right? Shangguan Yan's face was very bad, "I have to go and chase her back!" ”

Chu Yue'an lowered her eyes and thought for a while, and said: "Since she called me Master, I must not have the reason to sit idly by, I will go with you, even if I can't bring her back, I have to help her save her father!" ”

Shangguan Yan nodded: "Okay, when will we leave." ”

"We will meet at the gates of the city at dusk today." Chu Yuean said.

"Okay, see you or leave!" Shangguan Yan said and left in a hurry.

Later, when Yuwen Jinghuai came back, Chu Yuean told him about his plan, and Yuwen Jinghuai's brows furrowed deeper and deeper: "The battlefield is dangerous, what's the use of you women going?" I don't mean to look down on women, even if I go to a few more men, it won't help! ”

"I've already decided on this matter, just to tell you." Chu Yue'an said, "I'm not impulsive, I've thought about it, and I have the obligation to do this." Chu Yue'an said.

"If you have to go, I'll go with you." Yuwen Jinghuai said.

Chu Yuean shook his head lightly: "Don't go, you know that Your Majesty has always doubted you, if you go to the border pass, he doesn't know what he will think in his heart!" Besides, I can't predict what will happen in the capital, you have to stay and watch this big rear. Whether it's the mother concubine or the Ninghou Mansion, you have to take a good look at it, so that I can rest assured. ”

After a pause, Chu Yue'an held Yuwen Jinghuai's face and kissed it: "I promise you, I will definitely come back." ”

Yuwen Jinghuai hugged Chu Yue'an in his arms: "I am sure that the greatest husband in the world, you know that I will support you in whatever you do, you promise me, you will definitely come back." ”

Although Cai Xing and Cai Yue were not at ease, they all knew Chu Yue'an's temper, once they decided something, it was impossible to change it, so they had to pack up her things and reluctantly advise her.

At dusk, Chu Yue'an appeared at the gate of the city, and Shangguan Yan was already waiting.

"Let's go." Chu Yuean said.

"Wait a minute, there's someone else." Shangguan Yan smiled and said.

After a while, seeing that Chu Yueyun and the county lord of Xianluo also rode their horses to come, Chu Yuean was a little surprised and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

The county lord of Xianluo raised his chin and smiled: "Naturally, Brother Yan informed us, we are all from the Xuanmen, how can we be without us when we go to help Yimei!" ”

"Good!" Chu Yue'an also smiled: "Today, our Xuanmen is out together, no matter life or death, we must advance and retreat together!" ”

Although the four of them rode towards the border pass, although the road was non-stop, it still took ten days of hard work to make this trip, and they didn't meet Shen Yimei along the way.

If it was in the capital, this season was already the hottest season, but at the border pass, the weather was still very cool, although they didn't find Shen Yimei, they ran into Su Hongshen.

"Why are you here?" Chu Yue'an asked strangely.

Su Hongshen's smile was a little mysterious, and he didn't explain his intention, but just said to Chu Yue'an: "I know that the purpose of your coming here must be for General Shen's siege. ”

"How's the war going right now?" Chu Yue'an asked, "Is General Shen still safe?" ”

"General Shen is still holding on, but there is a new overseer in the army, and it seems that he has no intention of sending troops to rescue him." Su Hongshen said.

"Sun Liangpeng, it's really a pity to die!" Chu Yuean gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely kill him with my own hands!" ”

"I know that you want to go to General Shen, and it seems that you can't have any power to turn things around on this battlefield, but I can provide you with a good strategy, maybe it works." Su Hongshen said.

"What's the best idea?" Shangguan Yan asked impatiently, "Say it quickly." ”

"In the direction of thirty miles away from here, there is a pair of Rouran soldiers who came to inspect the terrain, and the person who led the troops is the Rouran Evil King, this person is Rouran's younger brother, he has no special skills, but he likes women very much, if you can capture him alive, he will be exchanged for General Shen's safety, maybe it will work." Su Hongshen said.

The county lord of Xianluo held his chin and thought for a while, then turned to look at Chu Yuean and asked, "I think it's feasible, what do you think?" ”

Chu Yuean also thought for a moment: "There seems to be no better way now, just do what Su Gongzi said!" ”

She looked at Su Hongshen again and said, "Thank you, thank you in person another day!" Let's go! ”

Then Chu Yue'an and the four of them left quickly, Su Hongshen looked at their backs, and said admiringly: "I hope you can succeed." ”

Chu Yue'an and the four of them dressed up as ordinary peasant girls, pretending to be disaster victims who had lost with their clansmen, and naturally they were quickly found by a small group of Rouran soldiers, and these soldiers saw that the four of them were beautiful, so they dedicated them to the evil king.

The evil king was a man with a beard on his face, and when he saw these four girls, he naturally got up, called all the soldiers out, and drank and had fun with the four girls.

A pot of wine was in his stomach, and the evil king wanted to do something with the girls, but he didn't expect that at this time, the dagger was coldly placed on his neck.

"Don't scream, or you're going to have a knife on your throat." Chu Yue'an said coldly.

The Xianluo County Lord quickly stepped forward and clicked on a few of his acupoints, and Chu Yueyun stuffed a pill into his mouth.

"Be obedient and spare you from dying!" Chu Yue'an said coldly. "You have already eaten my poison, if you are disobedient, you will definitely have a rotten stomach, and life is better than death!"

"A few aunts and grandmothers are merciful, I'm obedient!" The Evil King trembled with fright and said, "Whatever you want, gold or treasure, I can give it to you!" ”

"I need you to come with us to Mt. Langbetsu." Chu Yue'an said, "As long as General Shen is safe, you will be safe, and if General Shen has any problems, you will be worse than him." ”

Saying that, Chu Yue'an pulled the Evil King out of the tent, and the soldiers outside didn't dare to act rashly when they saw this, and then Chu Yue'an took the Evil King of Hun and rushed towards Langbei Mountain.

At this moment, on Langbei Mountain, General Shen has been besieged for almost a month, and it can be said that he has run out of ammunition and food, even so, he still holds on, without the slightest intention of surrendering, but what he didn't expect at all is that Shen Yimei actually got mixed up, and he blamed his daughter at that time.

It's just that Shen Yimei's gaze is very firm: "If I can't save my father out, then I will live and die with my father!" ”

After holding on for a few more days, the soldiers on the mountain were almost exhausted, and if the other party launched another attack, I was afraid that everyone would die here, and after they were ready to die for their country, the Rouran soldiers under the mountain actually began to retreat.

"Father, what do you think is going on? How did they retreat? Shen Yimei asked strangely.

"Don't be careless, this may be the other party's trick!" Shen Pinglei said.

At this time, he saw two figures coming up the mountain, and Shen Pinglei was about to order the soldiers to release arrows, at this time Shen Yimei looked at the two of them a little familiar, and hurriedly said: "Don't release arrows, it's your own people!" ”

She watched in surprise as the Xianluo County Lord and Shangguan Yan came up: "What's the matter?" How did you end up here? ”
