The situation on the battlefield became more and more stalemate, with the rebels of King Liang, which combined the armies of Nanrong and Northern Yan, on the one hand, and the Great Chu with the support of the Later Jin and the Western Regions, on the other.

The armies of the two sides are indistinguishable in numbers, Zhao Yuqi was originally not enough, but Nanrong and Beiyan also spent blood to support Zhao Yuqi to take the throne this time, so they lent him a lot of soldiers and horses, so that he was enough to compete with Dachu's army in terms of troops.

In this way, the two camps are completely torn apart, and both sides are eyeing each other, trying to find a suitable time to swallow each other in one fell swoop.

And the Western Regions and the Northern Yan have been at odds for many years, now the Yusufu people are in Dachu, the family of the Western Regions is the Wang Shi who grew up teaching Yu Sufu, the wife and daughter of the Wang Shi all died in the hands of the Northern Yan people, and he can be said to hate the Northern Yan to the core.

The emperor of Great Chu has been even more restless recently, Han Hao is desperate on the battlefield ahead, and the emperor is living a fearful life on his dragon chair.

He knew very well in his heart that the lifeblood of today's Great Chu all lies in Han Hao, if Han Hao dies in battle one day, then Great Chu will be like a building about to fall, and it will be in danger.

The two armies confronted each other, and both sides were well-trained teams for many years, and it was difficult to distinguish between them for a while, and the two sides had mutual gains and losses, and the casualties were basically equal.

What Han Hao needs is such a situation, but Zhao Yuqi doesn't have so much time to spend with him all the time, he was originally a guerrilla war, and he had no base, so he finally occupied a city in Dachu, and found that the poor in this small city were clean.

He needs to win this war quickly, otherwise if it drags on too long, his food and grass supply will not keep up, and the whole army will fall apart in a very short time, and then his many years of inheritance will be ruined.

That's why he was so excited when he knew that Han Hao might be in this city. If this news is true, then as long as he captures Han Hao, this war can be won without much effort.

For such news, he naturally preferred to believe it rather than believe it. So he ordered a carpet search for Han Hao and Yu Sufu and Xie Wanqing, who may also be in the city.

Of course, the reason why he ordered to find Xie Wanqing was actually because of his selfishness, he hadn't seen her for a long time, and he didn't know how she was doing, but this woman who haunted him was married to Han Hao.

What he wanted most for so many years was Xie Wanqing, but he couldn't get it, if he succeeded in sending troops this time, he must take Xie Wanqing for himself. It was his selfishness that made him take chances and be eager to find Xie Wanqing's whereabouts in the city.

He really didn't expect that he would guess half right. Han Hao really wasn't here, but Yu Sufu and Xie Wanqing were there.

Zhao Yuqi's frenzied carpet search hurt Xie Wanqing and them.

The soldiers of the city went from house to house with increasing frequency, and became more and more brutal, and the food and livestock of the people were robbed of them if they were discovered.

And they are simply fooling around when they arrest people, but anyone who doesn't like it will be taken back by them to torture them, and most of them will die in prison.

In order to distract the soldiers, the innkeeper and the proprietress would put some of the food in the place where they could find it every time they came, which was also considered to be a ruin of wealth and disaster, and it was precisely because of this that the inn was safe and sound.

It's just that although the people are unharmed, no amount of food can not resist these soldiers from looting like this, and soon, the original cellar of the inn was enough to eat enough food for the seven of them to eat for half a year, and it was looted to the bottom, and it may not be able to support it for even a month.

The boss and the proprietress both had a gloomy look on their faces, others didn't know about the situation here, but the two of them knew very well, if it continued like this, even if Xie Wanqing and they were not discovered, they would not be far from starving to death.

In fact, Xie Wanqing is clear about all of this, and she often feels guilty in her heart, feeling that she has dragged down Boss Cai and his family.

Not to mention how much their family has paid for the safety of themselves and Yu Sufu, even the life-saving food has been looted by those rebels who have lost their conscience.

Let's just say that usually, their family thinks that she is a pregnant woman, and they have to give her some of the few mouthfuls of food per person, and even Lulu's rations have been halved, but they still refuse to lose her a little.

Xie Wanqing was both moved and guilty in her heart, but she couldn't do anything now.

Now no one will know when this war will end, when the blockade of this small city will be lifted, and when the soldiers outside the gate will stop burning and looting and breaking into people's houses. They don't know any of that.

It is precisely because of this unknown that a sense of despair is born in everyone's heart, and such days have no end in sight, and they don't know when they will die.

Xie Wanqing has been thinking about one thing in her heart for the past few days, she feels that she can't continue to shrink like this, and being here will only bring endless trouble to the kind-hearted Boss Cai's family.

Since the person Zhao Yuqi is looking for is her, it is better for her to take the initiative to go out, so that it can also save the remaining chance of survival of Boss Cai and his family, so that Xiao Lulu will not be starved to death.

Thinking of Lulu, Xie Wanqing's heart was soft, she was a very good child, well-behaved and clever, she always slept with her these nights, and never made trouble at night. Such a child should not make senseless sacrifices for himself.

Xie Wanqing still had a little luck in her heart, she was thinking, maybe even if she fell into the hands of Zhao Yuqi, he wouldn't do anything to herself.

This is a gamble, but Xie Wanqing has no other choice, she has never been a person who can enjoy the sacrifices made for her by others with peace of mind, this was the case in her previous life, and it is also the same in this life.

The people around her had done enough for her, and she felt that she could not bear such a heavy sacrifice from them, and that it was better to sacrifice her and save the rest of the people.

If Zhao Yuqi dared to use herself to threaten Han Hao, she would be dead, anyway, she had already lived for two lives, and the hatred in her previous life had almost been repaid in this life, compared to the countless people who died unjustly, she was already too lucky.

Anyway, she was not afraid of death for a long time, and death was nothing to fear for her.

The idea of going directly to Zhao Yuqi has been lingering in her mind for many days, but she has never been able to make up her mind, after all, it takes a lot of courage to really do it.

What really helped Xie Wanqing decide to do this was Lulu.

Because of the lack of food, the meal time in this inn was changed from three meals a day in the morning, lunch and evening to two meals in the morning and afternoon, and the amount of each meal was halved.

That afternoon, Lulu had been looking listless, and she couldn't even mention the nature of Yu Sufu's tricks to tease her.

She is young and needs a lot of nutrients, and she has eaten very little like this for more than a month, and now Lulu is no longer as healthy and lively as when they first met, but has become yellow and thin, thin and small, which makes people feel distressed.

Yu Sufu always wanted to make Lulu happy, so she made all kinds of small animals out of straw, but the little girl always looked listless.

Xie Wanqing couldn't stand it anymore, she took out the last candy from her sleeve, beckoned to Lulu, and said, "Lulu come here, I still have a candy here, do you want to eat it." ”

Hearing that there was candy to eat, Lulu's eyes that were extraordinarily wide because of the reception lit up, and she got up from her chair and wanted to walk to Xie Wanqing's side.

But I don't know if it was because she was standing too quickly, she didn't take two steps out and the whole person began to shake, and then she only felt a blackness in front of her eyes, so she lost consciousness and fell forward.

Xie Wanqing watched Lulu fall two steps in front of her, and she was stunned.
