"How long will we stay in Jincheng?" Finally, Xia Muyao couldn't help but ask.

"You stay here for a few days, and I'll lead the army onward." Huerhe turned over, hugged Xia Muyao, and said softly.

"Let's go out together, didn't we say okay, I'm going to be by your side all the time?" Xia Muyao lowered her eyes and asked softly.

Huerhe stroked Xia Muyao's long hair, "Having said that, I always can't bear to let you work too hard. ”

"I didn't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, so what's the hard work?" Xia Muyao replied lightly.

Huerhe was silent for a while, and finally responded to Xia Muyao's request, if she stayed in Jincheng, she would definitely not be happy every day, so it was better to take her and let her know his situation every day.

Then, Huerhe fell silent, Xia Muyao knew that he had a lot of things in his mind every day, so he stopped talking, quietly snuggled in Huerhe's arms, and fell asleep.

Huerhe has not slept for a long time, and will set off for the next city tomorrow, and Da Kang will intercept it on the way, and how to win with the fastest speed and the least casualties is something he has to think about repeatedly.

***

Dakang.

Zhang Yaxian personally sent Zhao Yuanting and Gu Er out of the palace gate, and then said goodbye to Zhao Yuanting, naturally saying a lot of cherished words, and then stood on the city wall, watching the team led by Zhao Yuanting gradually go farther and farther.

Zhang Yaxian squinted her eyes and looked cold, at this moment she was thinking about something more dangerous than before.

"Send a message to Juyizhuang and let the elder brother of the palace enter the palace." It wasn't until Zhao Yuanting's team couldn't be seen that Zhang Yaxian slowly said to the guards beside her.

When the guard heard this, he turned around and went down.

Zhang Yaxian is still standing on the city wall, turning around to look at the majestic palace, she is the hostess here, but this hostess will one day be replaced, only she stands at the peak of power, she is the only irreplaceable.

Zhao Yuanting took the group and gradually walked away.

The nurse sat in the carriage with Gu Er in her arms, and Gu Er, who went out for the first time, was curious about everything around her, and poked her little head all the way to look out.

After walking for most of the day, the team stopped to rest, Zhao Yuanting walked to the carriage, lifted the curtain, and saw Gu Er smiling and pounced on him.

"How, do you feel tired?" Zhao Yuanting hugged Gu Er in his arms and asked with a smile.

Gu Er understood the question and shook her head hurriedly.

"Good boy, worthy of being the son of his father." Zhao Yuanting's tone was quite proud.

The nurse watched from the sidelines, and she didn't squeak, but she secretly said in her heart: It's really strange, these two princes occasionally look exactly the same as the king of Beihu Domain, why does Emperor Dakang firmly believe that this is his child?

***

Five days later, Zhao Yuanting, who was walking on the road with 2,000 soldiers, received an urgent secret order from the front, and when he opened it, it was still a battle report of defeat.

Zhao Yuanting glanced at it, then tore up the secret letter in his hand without saying a word.

The three cities attacked by Huerhe before, Zhao Yuanting knew that he must not be able to defend them, but as long as he Zhao Yuanting was there, he would definitely defend Dakang.

Since receiving this defeat report, Zhao Yuanting ordered to speed up the march.

According to Zhao Yuanting's instructions, the nurse held Gu Er tightly in her arms to cushion the bumps of the carriage.

And Gu Er also seemed to be aware of the unusual atmosphere around him, no matter how bumpy the carriage was, he didn't cry or make trouble, he looked at a certain place quietly, and then it was bumpy and ruthless, Gu Er lay in the nurse's arms and fell asleep.

Gu Er's performance made Zhao Yuanting very relieved, so he didn't think about slowing down, and it was better to rest when he arrived at the barracks, rather than constantly stopping and resting on the road.

When Zhao Yuanting was gradually approaching the front, Zhao Yuanting's personal expedition had already been told to Huerhe by the spies.

Huerhe's face did not change, and Zhao Yuanting's expedition was originally expected by him.

"The strange thing is that along with Zhao Yuanting, there is also his second prince, a doll who is only three years old." The spy pleaded again, puzzled.

Huerhe raised his eyebrows at this time, the child brought by Zhao Yuanting is Gu Er?

"Take two more people to explore, the child's appearance and name must be clear, if there is a chance to snatch the child over, it is better, but remember, don't hurt the child at all." Huerhe confessed again.

The spy answered, turned and left.

Huerhe was still sitting quietly in the military tent, but he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, he didn't expect Zhao Yuanting to go on the expedition, he would take Gu Er with him, now, he didn't have to send someone to the Dakang Imperial City, just ambush him halfway, and take the opportunity to snatch Gu Er over.

Thinking about it, Huerhe couldn't help but go back to his big tent, Xia Muyao was in the tent and Yan Ling to help sew and mend the uniforms, seeing that Huerhe had returned to the big tent during the day, he just thought that the military affairs were not busy, so he raised his head and smiled at Huerhe: "Why are you so leisurely today?" ”

"It's okay, I'll come back and see you, and by the way, clear my thoughts that have been crowded all day." Huerhe thought about it, and still told the news that Gu Er went out with Zhao Yuanting, so as to save any accidents in the process of saving Gu Er, and it was difficult to explain to Xia Muyao.

When Xia Muyao heard this, she couldn't help but smile, "Then what can I do for you?" ”

"Naturally, I don't have to do anything, and being able to see you all day long is what makes me the happiest thing." Huerhe laughed.

Xia Muyao also smiled, then looked at Yan Ling, and signaled Huerhe not to be so sensy in front of his subordinates.

Yan Ling already looked like she had been experienced, she kept her eyes down, and carefully mended her clothes, as if she hadn't heard a word clearly about what Huerhe and Xia Muyao had just said.

Huerhe didn't care if Yan Ling was there, what he wanted to do, how could there be a reason to taboo a subordinate?

***

When Huerhe was in full swing to strengthen military training, the three spies rushed back overnight.

Zhao Yuanting's vigilance against Gu Er was very strict, Rao is no matter how good the three of them were, they couldn't snatch Gu Er out of the iron wall set up by Zhao Yuanting, so they would be startled, and the three spies had no choice but to give up and hurry back to restore their lives.

"Well," Huerhe nodded when he heard this, "I've worked hard for you these past few days, so let's go back and rest first." ”

For the three spies who failed to snatch Gu Er back, Huerhe had already prepared, Zhao Yuanting was not a mediocre person, how difficult it was to snatch people from under his nose.

And remembering that day, Zhao Yuanting took advantage of the chaos to take Gu Er, Huerhe was unwilling, that time, although he never said it, he had to admit that he lost to Zhao Yuanting.

This time, he couldn't miss the opportunity to snatch Gu Er back no matter what.

But how to get it back? Should 5,000 soldiers be sent to intercept it overnight and clash head-on with Zhao Yuanting, or should they wait for Beihu to capture Dakang, and then dignify and dignitize Zhao Yuanting?

Huerhe made countless assumptions, but each of them had many drawbacks, and it was a difficult problem to save him from harm.

At night, when I returned to the big tent, I tried to pretend to be casual, so as not to let the meticulous Xia Muyao see the clues.

Xia Muyao glanced at Huerhe, although she faintly felt that something was wrong with him, but she only thought that he was trapped by military affairs, so she didn't ask much, and after serving Huerhe's cleaning, she went to bed.

Huerhe's eyes were closed, and his mind was still crowded with many complicated thoughts.

In the end, Huerkh decided to send soldiers led by elite soldiers to ambush halfway.

After trying Xia Muyao beside her, and seeing that she was asleep, Huerhe quietly got up and walked towards the military tent.

Around the military tent is the big tent of the adjutant generals, and the soldiers who are on the night vigil are busy standing up when they see Huerhe, and they are all busy standing upright, and they are tired because of the night.

"General Dabu, Gu, Fu, and Deputy General Zhuo call up and go to the military tent to see the king." After giving instructions to the night watchmen, Huerkh turned and walked towards the tent.

After a while, the four lieutenant generals arrived, and Huerhe pointed out Zhao Yuanting's location on the map at the moment, and explained the number of people and the formation of Zhao Yuanting who rushed to the front line one by one.

"What do you mean?" Dabb asked, frowning.

"I want you to each lead a thousand elite horsemen under your command, take a detour to Zhao Yuanting's location overnight, attack back and forth, and make sure that his team is completely annihilated, and then, bring back to me a child in the carriage in this team without any damage, this matter is extremely important, you must live up to your mission." Huerhe frowned and looked at the four lieutenants.

The four lieutenants also looked at each other, and then agreed in unison.

Huerhe nodded solemnly, "Go quickly, march and fight, on the eve of dawn is the most tired and easiest time for people to relax, whether you succeed or fail, it depends on you." ”

"The general's words are serious, and his subordinates will do their best to live up to the general's trust." Dabu, who was the leader, replied with a fist to Huerhe.

Huerhe nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "Then let's go." ”

The four lieutenants hurriedly turned around, they were in a hurry, and they had to gather the soldiers in a very short time before hitting the road.

Huerkh was in the military tent, staring at the map on the table, silent for a long time.

How much he wanted to follow these soldiers to save Gu'er, but after weighing it, the war here was more dangerous and needed for him.

Family affairs and court affairs, at this time, he can't do both.

What's more, leaving the town to guard the rear is also another way to rescue Gu Er.

With a heart full of worries, Huerhe returned to his big tent.

Xia Muyao didn't fall asleep, and when Huerhe got into bed, she turned over and hugged him, "Where did you go?" ”

Huerhe hurriedly stretched out his hand and patted Xia Muyao's back gently and comfortingly, "It's okay, go to sleep." ”

Xia Muyao was stunned for a moment, and then said softly: "Don't hide something from me, I can see it when you have something on your mind." ”

Huerhe sighed slightly, and he didn't plan to hide it from Xia Muyao anymore, "Yao'er, Zhao Yuanting took Gu Er to fight here. ”

Xia Muyao was a little surprised, how long has it been, they haven't talked about Gu'er, just because mentioning Gu'er is a heartache.

"What are you going to do?" Xia Muyao stabilized her mind and asked softly.

"I have sent someone to ambush Zhao Yuanting with four thousand elite horsemen, except for Gu Er, I will not be killed." Huerhe told Xia Muyao about the decision he had just made.
