Chapter 513: Turning the Tide
She and Xue Yi looked at each other, they were very surprised, originally they thought that the reinforcements coming were the guards of the neighboring city, but they didn't expect that it was Ling Zi'an who came with the disciples of the Cao Gang.
Ling Zi'an is strong in martial arts, and the disciples under him are not vegetarians, and all of them can be ten with one, so even if there are many enemy troops, they are defeated and retreated.
"Miss Qian, let's go over there to avoid the limelight first, since Ling Zi'an is here, then tonight's crisis will definitely be resolved."
Xue Yi reminded Qian Qianqian's side, Qian Qianqian's body trembled, covered in blood, green silk scattered, embarrassed, sweat mixed with blood on her forehead, it was really unrecognizable.
Qian Qianqian really couldn't fight anymore, so she listened to Xue Yi's words and found a corner to hide, and they didn't go out until the enemy troops had withdrawn.
"Gang Master Ling, thank you for coming to the rescue, if it weren't for you tonight, those enemy troops would have to attack the palace."
Qian Qianqian walked straight towards Ling Zi'an and greeted Ling Zi'an to dismount, Ling Zi'an looked at her now, and was still a little stunned.
"Don't get in the way, as a citizen of Xiao State, this is what I should do, but you, a weak woman, why did you still come out to kill the enemy? Are you really not afraid of death? ”
Ling Zi'an put away the long sword in his hand and glanced at Qian Qianqian lightly, his face showed a little admiration, this time, Qian Qianqian really impressed him.
"I'm afraid, but I can't help it, there are some things I have to bear, but you, far away in Lianzhou, how can you come to this capital? Did you hear any news? ”
Qian Qianqian was very puzzled, and after a pause, she couldn't help but ask, Ling Zi'an would not come here for no reason, so there must be something else hidden in this.
"It was General Xiao who asked me to come, he sent someone to give a death order, I didn't dare not come."
Ling Zi'an also made no secret of it, so it seems that everything is not strange, but Ling Zi'an came from Lianzhou, and it will take at least seven or eight days, Xiao Mohan is far away on the border, how can he take precautions and anticipate this incident in Beijing?
"I see, it seems that this time it is thanks to General Xiao and you."
Qian Qianqian didn't continue to ask, she knew that Ling Zi'an probably didn't know about this matter, Xiao Mohan has always been safe, and at the same time, it is also incomprehensible, only when things have taken a turn for the better, she is relieved.
Qin Li and Yuan Ying walked over, and countless soldiers fell around them, dead and wounded, blood and light fused together, and it was really dazzling to look at.
"Gang Master Ling, I really didn't expect you to come to save us, tonight is really thanks to you, you are really a send-off."
Yuan Ying wiped the blood on his face, although he smiled a little reluctantly, but this expression of gratitude was real, and Qin Li was the same.
"This is all General Xiao's order, if it weren't for that, I don't know what happened in this capital, I came all the way from Lianzhou, and found that there were many bandits outside, and they were all wearing the same clothes, as if someone had gathered them together and was deliberately using them."
Ling Zi'an's face did not change, he slowly spoke, and explained in a fifteen-ten, since this is the case, Qian Qianqian faintly felt that the reinforcements from this neighboring city might not go well on the road.
"Since you have brought people here, then we have hope, as long as the reinforcements guarding the neighboring city come, we can drive all these enemy troops out of the capital."
Qin Li was full of confidence, he was ready to die just now, and now he suddenly wanted to live a little longer, at least he had to annihilate these enemy troops first.
"Okay, don't stand here stupidly, since the enemy army has retreated, then let's go back to the palace to resume our lives, Gang Master Ling, you can't enter the palace, so I can only grieve you to stay here."
Qian Qianqian came back to her senses, since the war had eased, there was no point in staying here, so it was better to quickly send the news back, so that the emperor and Shao Huaigu could rest assured.
"Don't worry, with me out here, nothing will happen."
Ling Zi'an said it categorically, this time, he brought ninety percent of the Cao Gang brothers, there were not a few people left in Lianzhou City, although they were still inferior to the enemy army in terms of numbers, but they were not weak in the battle.
"Thank you."
Qian Qianqian bowed slightly, and as soon as the words fell, she and Qin Li entered the palace, Xue Yi and Yuan Ying followed, and this battle was fought for most of the night, and they were all exhausted.
"The enemy has retreated, it's great, we have been saved."
"Yes, it's good if the enemy army withdraws, it's good to withdraw, we have reinforcements, and we don't have to be afraid of those enemy troops."
When the ministers learned of this, they were all overjoyed, and just now they were all as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but now they all breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces looked much better.
The emperor's heart finally landed, just now he was caught in the middle and couldn't move, now he finally has a chance to breathe, as long as he gets through tonight safely, he can find a way tomorrow night.
At this time, the sky outside was gradually getting brighter, and everyone had worked hard all night, and several ministers couldn't help but yawn.
"Your Majesty, you go and rest, Weichen and Lord Qin go and discuss it to see how to deal with the enemy next."
Shao Huaigu arched his hand, it was a matter of course, the emperor nodded, and he and Qin Li retreated one after another, Qian Qianqian saw this, and did not stay here longer.
Those ministers also left, but they couldn't leave the palace, they could only rest in the palace temporarily, this was Shao Huaigu's special order, if they were allowed to go out, they would definitely slip away faster than anyone else, and they would not be able to count on them to guard the palace at that time.
Qian Qianqian has been following Shao Huaigu, as if she has something to say, Shao Huaigu also found this, and when she walked to a place where there was no one, she stopped and turned her head to look at her.
"You should also go and rest, bandage the wounds on your body, take a bath, change your clothes, this bloody walking around the palace, it's really terrifying."
Shao Huaigu glanced at Qian Qianqian up and down, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was gentle, but it revealed indescribable heaviness and mystery.
"Now Ling Zi'an's people are outside, they will help us protect the palace, but I have to remind you that they don't have many people, and they can't stop for long, if the enemy army comes back tomorrow night, we will definitely suffer heavy losses, so I want to ask you, when will the reinforcements from the neighboring city arrive?"
Qian Qianqian's eyes widened, her palm-sized little face was full of tenacity, and she said it categorically, with indescribable stubbornness in her eyes.
Shao Huaigu was silent, his eyes lowered, as if it was difficult to speak, the more he was like this, the more uneasy Qian Qianqian felt, there must be something wrong with this matter.
"Those reinforcements are in trouble on the way, and they can't get there for the time being, right? Or will they not be able to come at all, and we have no need to count on it at all? ”
Qian Qianqian immediately asked, not relaxing at all, the current situation is tense, she must figure it out carefully, there are some things that are easy to deploy.
"Yes, the reinforcements have encountered a lot of enemy siege on the road, and they have suffered heavy losses, and they will definitely not arrive within three days."
Shao Huaigu thought for a moment, but still opened his mouth, since Qian Qianqian had already guessed, there was no point in him hiding it, it was better to say it, face it together, and see what to do next.
"The people of the Li family and Xiao Heng gathered the bandits who were wandering around in the Xiao country and used them to oppose us, so there are quite a few people under them."
Qian Qianqian opened her mouth lightly, and said very firmly, even if Shao Huaigu didn't explain, she could guess it, and she had seen it before, this was Xiao Heng's usual method.
"Hmm." Shao Huaigu just responded, as soon as he mentioned this matter, he blamed himself in his heart, he didn't even notice such a big thing, and the local government had never reported it, I don't know what those ministers were doing, they should all be removed.
"In that case, things might be easier."
Qian Qianqian's words changed, a sneer appeared on her face, looking at Shao Huaigu's depressed appearance, it was really a little fresh.
Shao Huaigu suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Qian Qianqian's face carefully, he was very surprised, he didn't know what kind of medicine Qian Qianqian's gourd was selling.
"In this world, there is a reason for the emergence of bandits, I believe that if it is possible, no one wants to be a bandit, the year of the catastrophe is particularly turbulent, the people are not well fed and clothed, so they will go to be thieves and bandits, the Li family and Xiao Heng can give them the benefits, we can also give, as long as the benefits we give are more abundant, why don't those people take refuge in the government?"
Qian Qianqian explained unhurriedly, her eyes glowing with light, making people unable to open their eyes at first glance.
Some people are like this, even if they are covered with blood and unrecognizable, they are still eye-catching, but even if some people are dressed in fine clothes and shaken by hairpins, they are unbearable after all, and they can't get into the hall of elegance.
"I understand, I immediately summoned those ministers and asked them to do it, Miss Qian, you are really smart, you are not an ordinary woman, you and General Xiao are really a natural pair."
Shao Huaigu suddenly brightened, his expression eased a lot, and he couldn't help but praise Qian Qianqian, and at the same time felt a little ashamed in his heart, women can come up with a solution, he has no clue, and Qian Qianqian can go out to kill the enemy, but he can only do it in a hurry, which makes him feel disgraced.
"It's good if you understand, I'll wait for your good news."
Qian Qianqian's face did not change, although this matter is easy to say, but it is too difficult to do, but she believes that Shao Huaigu has this ability, but she has to hold on for a few more days.
Xue Yi sent her back to the room, she had a lot of knife wounds on her body, although they were not deep, but they were all broken, and they would inevitably leave scars in the future, which was undoubtedly unspeakable for women.
At this time, Jiang Sheng came over, holding a medicine box in his hand, still wearing a moon-white robe, looking clean and elegant in the palace, not stained with dust, and his every move was calm and calm, really like an outsider.
"This is my newly developed wound medicine, applied to the wound, it will heal in less than five days, this bottle is a scar ointment, I just developed, I have tried, the effect is not bad, you can use it."
Jiang Sheng opened the medicine box, took out the medicine from it, and put it on the table, he is a doctor, he can only cure diseases and save people, and he can't do anything else, so he can only do his part in this way.
"Thank you, the medicine you developed is naturally excellent, I will use it immediately."
Qian Qianqian tore the corners of her mouth, the smile on her face loomed, the more she was like this, the more resolute she was.
