However, He Yue's reaction was surprisingly calm.

"Father, I know what the situation is, I really understand. I... I'm okay with that. What's more, the other party is a cultivator like Master Mori Dao. He Yue squeezed out a smile. Although I have been mentally prepared for a long time, I still feel very uncomfortable in my heart.

He Zhe also smiled reluctantly, "Yes, this is also an opportunity for you." Dad is leaving tomorrow, if he doesn't come back, it can be regarded as arranging a good place for you and Yuncang..."

"Dad, don't say that!" When He Zhe said this disturbing remark himself, He Yue couldn't help but walk up to him, gently hugged his father and said. The father stood up and embraced his daughter into his arms. His expression was unprecedentedly reluctant, and it was also unprecedentedly tenacious. He had to make this choice, and the war on the front line would bring infinite variables. Even if he really can't come back... He also wants his two children to live a good life after that.

"Dad, before that, I think you must promise me one thing. Let me go to the front with you. Wait for that master to pick me up!"

The father and daughter sat back at the table, and He Zhe shook his head again and again after hearing He Yue's words, "It is precisely because my father was afraid that you would be in danger and that I would never return, so he entrusted you to that master." The front line is so dangerous, how can you go!"

He Yue smiled lightly and said, "Then will you take your mother with you?"

He Zhe had a lost look on his face, "I want to take her with me." Your mother also strongly demanded. However, no one else will bring their families with them in such a war, and it will get in the way...... I can't make an exception to take her with me. ”

"I'm not going to be in any danger. I'm not going to let everyone worry about it. Zheng Ming, the servant of my father and daughter, can completely protect me. You should have seen him in Chaoshan that day. Zheng Ming's skills are very good, and he can definitely protect his daughter, so you don't need to worry about it. He Yue hurriedly said, looking at the expression of sudden realization on his father's face.

He Zhe smiled bitterly, "That kid should have a lot to do with that master, right?"

Seeing that he had seen this, He Yue nodded and confessed, "Yes... I noticed the difference in him early on. In fact, recently, he also taught me some methods of tuna cultivation......"

He Zhe sighed, but he didn't say anything to He Yue about this matter, but he felt as if he had been calculated early, and smiled self-deprecatingly. After listening to her words, He Zhe pondered for a moment, raised his head and smiled at her, "Xiao Yue'er, isn't it good for you to stay at home and spend this time with your mother before leaving?"

He Yue pretended to smile easily, but said very firmly, "Father, I will be able to see my mother at any time when I go home in the future." But I don't know anything about what is really going on at the front. I'm worried about my father. Even when I was leaving, I was always worried about my father. So, your daughter will stay with you on the front line until she leaves. ”

He Zhe lowered his head and pondered, and after a while, nodded, "Okay, okay, I promise you." We're going to leave tomorrow night and pack up. ”

With that, He Zhe walked over and hugged her again. At this moment, both father and daughter were speechless, and he left the bedroom.

......

The next afternoon.

The words of the decree seemed to be loud and clear, and the urgency of the fire was vividly displayed on the paper. Every minute of delay makes the prince more dangerous. When He Zhe appeared at the East City Gate with He Yue and the Hefu guards, he happened to encounter an army from Liangwen City, a city in the east. They had just arrived in Blackwater City not long ago to rest for a while. He Zhe, the city lord, didn't sit for too long, and he didn't know much about the city lords and deputy city lords of the northern cities. His subordinate Gao Liuting whispered to him that the middle-aged man who led the team in Liangwen City was actually their city lord, Liang Lansong.

The two city lords saluted each other, and Ho Zhe had to tell him about the predicament of Blackwater City, saying that he could only lead a hundred men to support. City Lord Liang expressed his understanding, after all, the outside of Chaoshan in Blackwater City is also under the pressure of a large army, and it stands to reason that troops should not be sent to aid the front line at this time.

A large number of children of the family rushed to the east gate to bid farewell to the city lord. The post road inside the city gate was full of local villagers. Not far from the city gates, the night was getting darker. There are also some residents standing on the post road in Da Yadu, Lincheng, who seem to be greeting the warriors who are about to go to the front line to rescue His Royal Highness the Prince.

In order not to arouse the discussion of others, He Yue stood in the watchtower with Zheng Ergou, looking at the crowd of people who rushed to see off like the tide below.

Grandpa Liang Fuji, the great strategist of the Hefu, holding his trembling body in the evening breeze, came to He Zhe and whispered a few words, patted him on the shoulder, and left.

To He Yue's surprise, his younger brother, He Yuncang, who had been apprenticed in a private school in the west of Blackwater City and left home, also rushed to see off his father. The white-clothed scholar behind him whispered something to him, and Xiao Yuncang slowly came out of the crowd and walked towards his father.

He Zhe's face showed sincere tenderness, and he squatted down and hugged his son. He Yue found that Yuncang seemed to have grown up a lot during this time. His white and lovely cheeks showed sadness everywhere, and there were faint tears rolling in his eyes. But he still didn't show too much expression, as if he was maintaining his image as a little Confucian. It's just that he put his arms around his father's neck and said a long thing.

He Zhe smiled and watched Yun Cang leave. At this time, the people who came to Dongcheng also walked to the army of 100 behind him to find their relatives. The scene became very warm and unforgiving.

The crowd surged forward, and He Zhe saw his woman, Shen Danhe, dressed in red, squeezing out of the crowd and hurriedly running towards him. He Zhe hugged her into his arms and suddenly felt sorry for her. Because of his own reasons, Yun Cang is not close to her mother at all. And because of himself, he has made her very worried for the past three months. Now, I'm afraid she won't be able to see her last face.

How dangerous this trip was, he had already told her.

Listening to the woman in her arms sobbing softly, He Zhe didn't know what to say to comfort her. I could only tighten my arms and hold her in my arms at the moment before parting.

"Take care of Yue'er and tell her to go home more in the future..."

"Good..."

"You take care of yourself, don't be in the limelight, if you can't go out of the city, you won't go out of the city......"

"It's... Okay, I promise you. ”

"Zhe, I went to see Sister Mo before I came. She's just as worried about you as I am, and you've got to come back......!"

He Zhe had mixed feelings in his heart. And He Yue, who was on the watchtower on the castle tower, sighed softly. Zheng Ergou behind her came forward to comfort her, but she just nodded silently. How much He Yue hoped that at this time, he would go down and call Yun Cang, who was standing next to Confucian Sheng in the crowd. The four of them were able to hug each other and spend their last moments before parting.

Late at night, the soldiers and horses of the alliance army of the two cities walked on the three-city post road leading to Xingyang City.

He Yue sat in a carriage behind him, with a large number of quivers piled in front of him. Zheng Ergou sat beside him, and his father and Liang City Lord were in the front, riding two tall horses to take the lead.

It was late at night, and she didn't feel the slightest tiredness. In the environment around the post road, the concentration of heaven and earth aura was much higher than in the city lord's mansion. He Yue tried to meditate. Since she grew up in the environment of this continent, she was already accustomed to such a concentration of heaven and earth aura after having cultivation. When she knew that the spiritual vein level of the so-called Central Plains World was far higher than that of Lingzhou, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was several times stronger than that of Lingzhou, she couldn't help but feel shocked and yearning.

With her knowledge, she couldn't imagine how powerful that atmosphere was. She was a little envious, knowing that the increase in the concentration of heaven and earth aura could greatly enhance people's cultivation efficiency. And when He Yue thought that the master would soon come to pick her up and go to the underground palace, she had a feeling of reluctance and longing.

"Zheng Ming. ”

Zheng Ergou, who was sitting next to her, groggy as if he was about to fall asleep, heard her voice and cheered up in response. He Yue suddenly held his hand and said seriously, "I want you to do me a favor, please promise me." ”

Zheng Ergou was a little embarrassed. Since the eldest lady knew his identity, her attitude towards him has been much better, but she has not taken the initiative to hold his hand like this time. He nodded.

"When we get to the front, you can't just protect me. If Dad is ordered to lead his troops out of the city, I want you to go with him. Please, I can't see anything happen to him......"

Zheng Ergou sighed deeply, and gently stroked He Yue's hair with his other hand. But she didn't react to it this time. She just looked him in the eye with fervent enthusiasm and pleaded with him.

"Brother Ergou ......"

"Don't worry. I'll do my best to protect the Castle Lord. Sen Qian said, when you return to the Hefu Mansion, the city lord will definitely sit in front of the door and wait for you to go home!"

———

Five days later, early in the morning.

The men and horses led by the two city lords, He Zhe and Liang Lansong, originally marched at the planned speed, and they could reach the front line of Xingyang City within three days at most. However, when their large army crossed the eastern border of Da Yadu the next day, a small accident occurred.

Originally, they ate their own dry food during the march. However, that morning, He Zhe accompanied the city lord of Liang to buy a few steamed buns to eat at a morning market in Da Ya Capital. At noon, the city lord of Liang suddenly vomited and diarrhea, and his headache was like a knife cut. He really couldn't hold on to the march anymore, and the soldiers of Liangwen City unanimously asked that the city lord rest for a day or two before leaving. So it wasn't until noon on the third day that Liang Lansong's condition improved. I continued the journey with my sick body. The men and horses of Liangwen City took special care of their city lord, and the pace of the march slowed down, resulting in a full five days to reach the front line.

And when they arrived at the front line of the north gate of Xingyang City, the time they arrived was almost the same as that of the people and horses of Sun Moon City, the westernmost military city in the north. Therefore, the alliance of the two cities is already the last reinforcement to reach the northern border. At this time, the capital coalition led by Qu Du had already arrived for two days, and many men and horses sent from other places had also arrived. The military camps in the northeast of Xingyang City for dozens of miles had been almost filled, and He Zhe guessed at first glance that there were at least more than 30,000 soldiers stationed here.

In a week, 20,000 or 30,000 people were assembled, which is already a very remarkable speed. According to the armament records of various parts of the Qinshan Kingdom, all the troops added up to no more than 150,000 people. Because the two regimes were located on the northern continent, the environment in ancient times was far worse than now, so even though the territory was vast, the population was not large. Being able to assemble so many people in just one week, many of the frontier defenders came from afar for this situation. And the number of armies that came to support every quarter of an hour continued to increase. It can be seen that the importance of the imperial court to the crown prince is simply the top priority.

And judging from this progress, the camp of Xingyang City has to be doubled.

My father took Captain Gao, the city lord of Liang, and the generals of Liangwen City to report to the city tower. He Yue was also taken by Zheng Ergou, and followed the soldiers of Blackwater City to a military camp and stationed there. She walked all the way, naturally attracting the attention of a large number of soldiers inside and outside the barracks around her. This gorgeously dressed girl who looks like a noble lady has caused a lot of discussion.

She had long expected that this would be the case, so she no longer avoided the eyes of everyone. Slowly pacing from the outside of the ten-mile camp, it took him two quarters of an hour to walk nearly ten miles with Zheng Ergou. Countless barracks, a large number of soldiers inside and out, and countless cooking smoke rising and falling. In the school training battlefield in every military camp, the neat soldiers are like the tide of black pressure, and every action is made in a seamless manner, in the command of the generals like a bell.

Ten miles of camp, there are at least 10,000 soldiers. When He Yue returned to his camp, He Zhe and Liang City Lord had not yet returned. She slowly walked to the city lord's camp and sat on the side, feeling a sigh of emotion in her heart. She had never seen such a large army gathered.

In the main building of the city tower, on the main seat sat the three army marshals Gao Yushi with a worried face. Two weeks have passed, and the country of Hades has not given the slightest reply except for the continuous increase of manpower in this direction. At the foremost of the two sides of the main seat sat the two hussar generals of Wan'an Li Mansion and Murong Mansion. And the remaining three general Zhenguan sat on both sides of the main seat. There is one less Pei Baolong. After putting on the military uniform, Qu Dui, who also showed a bit of heroism, sat next to the handsome. The main building was full of generals and city lords on both sides, but there were still more than a dozen empty seats. He Zhe and Liang Lansong hurried to the main building, let their respective guards guard the rear, and went to report.

But after they explained the reason for being late, Liang Lansong reported the situation in Liangwen City, and finally made the four people show some joy on their faces. And He Zhe knew that he did not meet the requirements of the holy decree, so he could only report the situation a few words. I thought that Marshal Gao would scold him fiercely, but I saw Gao Yushi on the handsome position sighing, showing helplessness on his resolute face, and said, "Lord He, I don't blame you for this. ”

He didn't expect Gao Yushi to say that. bowed down slightly, and confessed the situation in Blackwater City. In fact, the generals didn't know about the recent battle of Chaoshan, and the people on both sides did not speak. I saw that the generalissimo on the seat slowly got up, clasped his fists and said, "The soldiers of Blackwater City are brave and good at fighting, and they are not afraid of sacrifice. in order to repel the army of the Underworld in the previous Battle of Chaoshan. The crisis in Blackwater City has not been resolved, and the Lord of Hecheng should not have been asked to come. But I also ask the city lord to forgive His Majesty for saving his son. Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fell into the hands of an enemy, which really had too much impact on the morale of our people, and no matter how much it cost, we couldn't let him have an accident. As for the fact that you only brought a hundred soldiers, Ben Shuai naturally won't pursue it!"

He Zhe hurriedly leaned over and thanked him. Gao Dashuai has been in Rong for many years, and has always been a brave and resourceful feudal official. Sure enough, he also knew that the situation in Blackwater City was definitely not suitable for sending troops. But because of the will of the Holy Decree, I had to do it. Therefore, he did not blame Ho Zhe either.

Qu Dui, who was beside him, also slowly got up with Gao Yushi, tried his best to suppress his voice, and announced loudly, "Since the two city lords of Heliang have arrived, the reinforcements from the twenty-five cities in the north have all arrived at the front line. Please Marshal Gao announce it to you, so far the strength of Yang City has been rounded. ”
