CHAPTER XXII
"Run!"
Zhong Zhiyu gave an order and took the lead and ran in the opposite direction. Chunhe and Zhuzhu were carried by Nineteen and Hongclaw on their backs, and they followed closely behind, looking at the direction of running, it was to go to Qinfu.
Mrs. Qin was still idly sewing socks for Qin Yizhong in the mansion, and when she saw a few people running in a hurry, she blushed slightly while asking what happened, and quietly hid the unsewn socks behind her.
Zhong Shuyu glanced at it, and there was a lively duck embroidered on her socks, but at this time, she had no intention of teasing, and simply told Mrs. Qin that things were like this.
Mrs. Qin has always been gentle and dignified, and although she frowned when she heard this, she was not flustered: "If it is really as you said, this is for the Zhong family's army, then you have to go back quickly to help the prince." There are still more than a dozen guards in my house, all of whom were wounded on the battlefield a few years ago and only retired, and you may be able to help if you take them with you. โ
"This won't work, what should you do if I take someone away? This is the person Uncle Qin left for you. Zhong Yuyu refused: "What's more, you are also a member of the Zhong family's army, I am afraid they will not let you go." โ
Mrs. Qin still wanted to persuade, but the porter hurriedly came over and said, "Madam! Princess! The outside of the house is surrounded by a group of Beiyi people! โ
"It's coming so fast." Hongclaw snorted and clenched his sword in his sleeve.
"Where's Fu Zhengwei?!" Mrs. Qin asked in a deep voice: "Beiwang City still has his 5,000 elite soldiers, and he doesn't care if the Beiyi army breaks in so grandly, what is the reason!?" โ
I'm afraid the role he plays in this scene is not simple.
Everyone present had this realization in their hearts, but no one dared to say it except Zhong Zhiyu.
Zhong Zhiyu blinked, pretending to smile lightly: "Don't be like this, think about the bright side, maybe he is dead." โ
The other people couldn't laugh, but the youngest Zhuzhu laughed and praised his own county lord's field.
Seeing that several people were looking at him, he raised a smile that was not familiar with the world, and said: "It's okay, the county lord is so powerful, I don't believe that there are people in this world who can fight the county lord, what are you afraid of if the county lord is here?" โ
Zhong Zhiyu looked at Zhegui with a face full of relief, and looked at Zhegui exactly the same as Zhegui, his heart did not hurt her in vain, but the pressure on his shoulders became heavy.
After about half a pillar of incense, before a few people could discuss a result, they heard a commotion in the backyard, and someone vaguely exclaimed: "It's gone!" โ
Mrs. Qin led the people to look outside, and sure enough, she saw that the backyard was on fire, black smoke was billowing, and the smell made several people sneeze incessantly.
"Walking on the water again?"
Zhong Shuyu squinted his eyes and watched the subordinates of the Qin Mansion walking around carrying water and fetching water, but the fire did not decrease, but was more like devouring everything, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
Chun and a few people were about to help put out the fire, but they were pulled into the house by Zhong Shuyu again.
"Fu Zhengwei is afraid that he has colluded with Beiyi." Zhong Xiyu opened her mouth and said, but the faces of the few people who heard this were not surprised, so she continued: "But the Qin Mansion has been surrounded by the Beiyi people, and with the appearance that they sent dead soldiers to take my life, it doesn't look like they want to set fire to force us out. So why bother setting fires? โ
"It's the work of both parties." Madame Qin understood what she meant.
"Not bad." Zhong Zhiyu paced slowly in the room, and said as he scrutinized: "Earlier, I said that this was aimed at the Zhong family's army, which is not very accurate. What if they had to eliminate the Zhong family's army? โ
"Judging from the current situation, Fu Zhengwei's collusion with Beiyi is gone, I don't know what his purpose is, but Beiyi's purpose is obvious......"
"Encroach on my territory in Chongqing." Madam Qin's face was serious.
Zhong Yuyu nodded: "Yes." Therefore, the first obstacle they had to face was the Zhong Jiajun stationed in Beiwang City. And Fu Zhengwei's collusion with Beiyi, he definitely doesn't want people to know, it is imperative to eliminate us. โ
"It's really a good calculation." Zhong Xiyu sneered: "I want to see if they can get their wish." โ
Zhong Zhiyu said this, that is, he had a plan in his heart. Chunhe silently rolled up his sleeves and said, "County Lord, what are you going to do soon." โ
"Let's put the dummy in the martial arts training ground here first." Zhong Zhiyu tapped the ground with his toes.
"You're trying to get these dummies to impersonate us?" Mrs. Qin understood: "Then where are we hiding?" โ
Chunhe continued: "Hide in the vegetable cellar." โ
Until a few people hid in the vegetable cellar, Zhong Zhiyu still didn't understand how Chunhe knew that he wanted to hide in the vegetable cellar.
Hongzhu also had the same question, and when he saw that several people's eyes were not on him, he pulled Chunhe and asked in a low voice.
Chunhe glanced at Zhong Zhiyu and replied in a low voice: "The county lord used to hide in the vegetable cellar when he got into trouble. Anyway, every household has a vegetable cellar, and she is not afraid that there will be no vegetable cellar for her to hide. โ
Hongclaw smiled back with a speechless awkward smile.
"Auntie, don't worry." Seeing that Mrs. Qin was worried, Zhong Zhiyu poked her arm and said, "I have figured it out, my father must have thought more thoroughly than me, maybe he is already fighting a counterattack!" โ
"The prince is indeed powerful, but now there are no soldiers available......"
"One for my dad is enough!" Zhong Zhiyu straightened his chest, but he didn't have much confidence.
Mrs. Qin pulled the corners of her mouth and fell silent, but what she was thinking about was not herself, and Qin Yizhong, who had lost the news. Now that the Beiyi army is coming with such momentum, the situation on the grassland is probably more auspicious.
ยท
The situation on the grassland is indeed not optimistic, but now He Yu is not in a hurry - they have successfully settled in the grassland center.
"You say, did Xijon and them change to Tuoba Rock?" Qin Yizhong looked at He Yu, who was there by the old god, and was angry: "We haven't received news from Yongnian for more than ten days, and you are not in a hurry at all!" โ
He Yu also had a mouthful of milk in his mouth, looked back at him, swallowed slowly, and said, "The prince is lucky, nothing will happen." Instead of worrying about the prince here, you should worry about yourself, Tuoba Lin can wait for you to send him a son! โ
Speaking of this, Qin Yizhong was angry.
Ten days ago, Xijon sent troops again, and did not prepare to change prisoners, but directly declared war.
The other party's momentum was like a rainbow, and Qin Yizhong was even more intimidating, so he led his troops to meet the attack, intending to drive Xirong out of the grassland in one fell swoop.
But he didn't want the other party to deliberately release the water, and in a few days he gave up a large area of the grassland they had occupied, Qin Yi and others felt that it was wrong, but it was too late, Tuoba Lin had already led troops to surround the eastern part of the grassland, one east and one west, and the enemy was on his back.
Beiyi consciously schemed, and was shocked and frightened for a while, but He Yu was still the leisurely appearance that could not be shaken, taking advantage of the days when the three parties were deadlocked, strolling on the grassland.
Seeing He Yu like that, Qin Yizhong also pondered the last conversation in his heart, thinking that Tuoba Rock was still in his hands, and he should not be able to lose, so he also stood still and enjoyed the unique roast sheep and roast cattle of the grassland.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for He Yu to receive a secret letter from Tuoba Lin, in which he wrote that he was willing to lead the eastern army to retreat, as long as he exchanged it for his son Tuoba Yan.
This is contrary to King Xirong's strategy, but it is in the hands of Qin Yizhong. As long as the troops in the east retreat, his side can directly strengthen the army to suppress the Xirong army in the west, and after winning this battle, he can go home as soon as possible.
So he said yes to Tuoba Lin.
But I didn't want to, the secret letter had just been sent away, and the King of the Prairie also came to Qin Yizhong's dignitaries, indicating that he wanted Tuoba Rock!
