Half of Dawan's army retreated, and half responded to the enemy.

When most of the troops retreated, it was already dawn, but I don't know if it was the illusion of Xia Chutao, I always felt as if it was rare to get up today, and this period seemed to have lasted for a long time.

"Madame, do you feel anything uncomfortable about your body?"

Xia Chutao followed the large army to retreat to the camp in the rear, in order to take care of her pregnant body, Wei Qi specially arranged an ox cart to pull grain and grass, Xia Chutao sat in it and swayed, surrounded by almost a group of fully armed, armed with guns and shields, Dawan soldiers, who protected Xia Chutao in the center of the team.

Wei Qi even hugged him with his medicine box on his back, and from time to time he rode a horse to Xia Chutao's side, shushing the cold and asking for warmth.

He knew that Fu Rin valued this fetus, and if something went wrong with this fetus, his head would not be guaranteed, so he was also cautious, for fear that there would be any accidents at the beginning of next summer.

"It's fine."

At the beginning of summer, the peach swayed on the ox cart, but fortunately, it was more stable than on the horse.

Today's weather is really strange, even if the sky is gray, it is still cold, and it is an indescribable weird feeling.

She couldn't help but look at the horizon a few more times, and always felt that today's weather didn't seem to be a good time to fight, and she couldn't help but start worrying about Fu Rin.

The team had already walked slowly for a distance, far outside Fu Rin's battlefield, but before that, Xia Chutao had almost never heard any news about Fu Rin.

"Wei Qi."

Xia Chutao couldn't help but grab the blanket covering her stomach with some concern,

"Is there any news from the general, and what is the situation at the front?"

Wei Qi subconsciously glanced behind him, the mighty team could barely see the tail, and the end of the line of sight was still Dawan's army.

He withdrew his gaze in embarrassment,

"Madam, the war is tight, and there has been no report so far, and the general's situation can only be said to be unknown. If there is any situation, the newspaper from the front line will naturally say it when it comes back. ”

"Okay......"

At the beginning of the summer, Tao could only slowly lie back in the ox cart, leaning against the railing, but the worry in her heart was not less.

The team almost moved forward for a while, and finally came to the chaotic grotto that Fu Rin had explained before.

Gradually, the procession came to a halt in this place, and the carriages and horses circled the place almost inside and out, and in the center was a relatively high boundary, where there was a relatively high mountain of boulders.

"Madame, here we are."

There is a cave under the stone mountain, which is probably the origin of the name of the Ranshi Grotto.

The rest of the men and horses were re-encamped around this boundary, which was easy to defend and could better cope with the sneak attacks of the Northern Zhao if they continued.

When I was walking before, Xia Chutao saw the place where he was originally stationed at a relatively high place, which was a flat land. Like Beizhao, who is good at cavalry, once it is a sneak attack, it is almost ten thousand horses stepping on, leaving no armor, and the loss of Dawan last night is also relatively serious.

"Madame better go into the cave - come inside, I don't know what kind of ghost weather it is outside, why is it so cold all of a sudden."

Wei Qi chattered while asking someone to set up a bonfire.

This cave is very deep, but it is also warm, and a little bit of a bonfire in it will warm people up in an instant.

Xia Chutao sat in the depths of the grotto, looking at the soldiers outside who were quietly guarding the entrance of the cave for him, and he didn't speak.

Wei Qi was also bowing his head and roasting his hands, and he didn't know why, it was extremely cold today, obviously it had been a long time since spring.

Xia Chutao looked at Wei Qi who was roasting the fire on the side, his side face was red by the bonfire, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Have all the previous wars been smooth? Will it be as hard as it is today? ”

Wei Qi was stunned by Xia Chutao's question, and this was the smile.

"Madame, I'm afraid I'm laughing, it's not difficult to do this today. Although it was a sneak attack by Beizhao, there were not many casualties, and the grain and grass were still there. The general told us to retreat here so that we could defend better. ”

"You can't always fight in the front, but you don't care about the rear. At that time, the cavalry of Beizhao cut off the road to transport grain and grass, and the soldiers in the camp were stunned for several months. ”

Xia Chutao listened quietly, as if she wanted to find Fu Rin's shadow from these stories to perfect him.

"At that time, it was different, it was snowing heavily, and everyone was almost cold and hungry, so there was really no choice but to slaughter the war horses and eat them. This is the most difficult few months, there is nothing to die in the war, for the sake of the country, the death is deserved, but in those months, there are more than tens of thousands of brothers who starved to death in the camp. ”

Wei Qi's tone was very heavy when he said this, and Xia Chutao could also think of such an unoptimistic situation at that time, how Fu Rin, as a leader, survived such a desperate situation.

"So, that's really not bad."

Wei Qi said as he turned back and forth in the fire with a stick, as if he wanted to make the bonfire burn more vigorously.

"The general is the one who rolls back and forth in the Shura field, and such a thing is really not a problem for him, so Madame is still relieved. The people who came to sneak attack were only a small part, and these generals would soon be dealt with, and they would be back when the time came. ”

Hearing Wei Qi say this, Xia Chutao also felt reasonable.

Fu Rin is a person who is used to marching and fighting in the end, and the rapid changes on the battlefield are simply commonplace for him. If you don't know how to fight, why are you worried about this?

Xia Chutao smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling a little more comfortable in her heart.

But just as Xia Chutao's idea fell, he saw a horse neighing and came to the door of the cave.

Xia Chutao took a closer look, only to find that this person was Li Yan, the deputy general next to Fu Rin.

"Adjutant General Li."

Wei Qi also got up immediately when he saw it, and hurriedly went to the entrance of the cave, Xia Chutao couldn't sit still, and followed Li Yan to the cave.

Xia Chutao looked at the bloodstained armor on Li Yan's body, as well as the tired face, and she vaguely felt that things were not so simple.

Li Yan is the deputy general by Fu Rin's side, no matter what, he is always by Fu Rin's side, but I don't have anything at this time, but only Li Yan comes back?

"Adjutant General Li, where's the general?"

Wei Qi on the side asked Xia Chutao's question, and he seemed to be very puzzled by Li Yan's return alone.

Not far away, there were some soldiers who came back with Li Yan, but they all lost their armor and looked very embarrassed, and it was difficult for anyone to say what happened.

Li Yan turned over and dismounted, and this was when he knelt down in front of Xia Chutao.

"Back to Madame's words, the general took me with me to defeat the sneak attack of Beizhao's cavalry, and it was smooth at first. But soon the reinforcements from Beizhao came, and our enemy could only retreat first. ”

"The general said that he was running on both sides, but the prince's side was lost, and the responsibility was on his shoulders, so the general went to find the prince, and I was the only one who came back."

The crown prince lost his ......

At the beginning of Xia, Tao's whole body was stunned, and she knew that the prince was following this expedition.

But more, Xia Chutao's mind was still Zhao Yufeng's sentence.

"Let the prince and Fu Rin have no ...... to return"

She suddenly became frightened, grabbed Li Yan's blood-stained robe, and asked nervously.

"Do you know where the general is looking for the prince?"

Li Yan looked at Xia Chutao with some embarrassment, this is what he said.

"It seems that I am heading towards a dense forest to the east, which is the most troublesome, because in the depths of that dense forest is a large swamp with many poisons. But I had to bring these brothers back first, and that's what the general meant. ”

Swamp...... Poison......

When Xia Chutao heard this, he only felt that his eyes were black, he couldn't even stand still, and his feet were so soft that he almost fell down, so frightened that Wei Qi on the side directly supported Xia Chutao's weak body.

"Madame, be calm, ma'am."

Wei Qi also knew that Xia Chutao's heart must be very panicked at this time, but the most taboo thing about her current situation was that she was uncertain, which was very unfavorable to the child in her belly.

"You have to cherish your body, ma'am."

But Xia Chutao couldn't care so much, and after Li Yan finished saying those few words, Xia Chutao felt that a huge sense of ominousness completely enveloped her.

"No, Wei Qi, no, it can't go on like this."

Xia Chutao felt that what she was afraid of was that she couldn't even speak.

"You have to find a way to find Fu Rin and come back, that dense forest is really a very dangerous place if Li Yan says this, and this is very unfavorable to Fu Rin."

"I understand, I understand, I'm arranging people."

Not to mention Xia Chutao, Wei Qi also knows the seriousness of such a thing.

Fu Rin doesn't need to say it, the most important thing is the prince, that is Dawan's foundation and lifeline, if something happens, it will be Fu Rin's sin...... Such a crime is not something that ordinary people can afford.

"I'm going too."

In the next second, Xia Chutao stopped Wei Qi, as if he had made a big decision.

"No, ma'am, you can't run around with your bones. This is the general's order, I can't do it. ”

Wei Qi directly vetoed Xia Chutao's proposal the moment he proposed, and others didn't know, but he knew how Xia Chutao's first child didn't have it, and the risk was too great.

"Just wait for news from the General, ma'am."
