Chapter 119: Hanging by a Thread?
Xia Qi's face turned angry with anger, and he had no choice but to put down his words and ordered a pair of men and horses to find Murong Chen, the seventh prince who was under siege, tomorrow. Before leaving, his eyes were gloomy, and he longed to eat the flesh and blood quickly.
Ye Qianmo smiled happily at him, and she didn't pay much attention to the fox who could only look at the grapes.
"Seventh Imperial Princess, Xia Qi is not a person who is too easy to deal with," Ye Qianmo looked back at the person who spoke, it was the person who just smiled and coldly said Wu Yong's guilt, Ye Qianmo smiled and said, "Thank you for the general's help just now." But he avoided answering his words.
Zhao Tian skipped a smile in his eyes, knowing that she was wary of herself, and said with deep meaning: "I admire the Seventh Emperor Concubine very much, if there is a place where Zhao Tian can help, even if the Seventh Princess speaks, Zhao Tian will do his best." With that, he bowed before leaving.
"Miss," Lu Liu looked at Zhao Tian who was walking away, and stopped talking. Isn't Zhao Tian the person they wanted to win over from the beginning?
"Go back first," Ye Qianmo interrupted her, if she didn't take the last step, she wouldn't provoke this person.
There was still a hint of coolness on the night in late spring, so there was a light rain tonight, and the night became darker and darker. A figure passed through the sparse and intermittent night rain, skillfully dodged countless bright and dark whistles, and came to the camp where Ye Qianmo was resting. The visitor seemed to have a feeling of 'homesickness', and wandered back and forth at the door of the tent for a while before entering.
The visitor carefully walked past the sleeping red tassels and green willows and came to Ye Qianmo's bed. He was like a greedy wolf who had been hungry for many days, looking at her with burning eyes, he seemed to be able to see things at night, his greedy eyes surveyed her eyebrows and eyes, and came to her slightly pale lips because of the water and soil, he was about to flash a trace of chagrin, and his face was also with a trace of pity, and he was about to lean over, but Ye Qianmo sighed and let out a vague whisper, but the person who came was stunned, his face showed ecstasy, and his movements were even more cautious, as if he was worshipping a treasure, and he bent down.
"Miss," because of Ye Qianmo's whispering just now, the green willow who was a little shallow sleep screamed vaguely, his eyes moved slightly, and he was about to wake up, and the person who came was suffocated, with obvious displeasure on his face, and then looked at the woman who also moved slightly under him, sighed in his heart, and closed his movements in annoyance, and finally glanced at Ye Qianmo, and came unwillingly.
After he left, the green willow did not wake up, as if he was also in a dream, and gradually fell asleep.
The next day, the rain still didn't stop completely, and it annoyed people intermittently, as if it indicated that something bad was happening, and Ye Qianmo felt that she was also inexplicably irritable because of the rain.
She walked out of the camp, it was very noisy outside, a team of people was ready to go, Ye Qianmo understood that they were Xia Qi who said to find Murong Chen. She looked up at the sky, gloomy and gloomy, stuffy, suddenly heard the sound of Dada's horses' hooves, from far and near, gradually could see the shadow clearly, everyone looked towards the horse's hooves, only to see a man dressed in black riding a Xuanang horse was blocked at the gate of the camp, the man seemed to say something, and the doorman had an argument, the front hooves of the black horse were raised, the four hooves flew over, and broke in, everyone was stunned by this scene, they had seen those who were not afraid of death, but they had never seen such a hurry to die.
Dare to break in single-handedly?
The man on horseback rushed past the men and horses who were blocking him along the way, and came with a cold and solemn look on his face.
The black horse came to Ye Qianmo and suddenly neighed, the man suddenly pulled the reins of the horse, jumped off the horse, the blood on his face gradually flowed down the rain, dripping to the ground, and he knelt down on one knee in front of her.
Ye Qianmo was shocked, squinted at him for a while, and ignored Xia Qi's bruised face when she heard the news, and said calmly: "Say." Jianxiong lowered his head, without a trace of emotion, and said: "The soldiers of Northern Qi have joined the army, and none of the people and horses led by the Seven Princes have survived,"
Zhao Tian, who came later, looked shocked.
Surprise flashed in Xia Qi's eyes.
"What about the rest?"
"The rest of the men are conducting a search operation."
"Where is he?" Ye Qianmo asked one question after another expressionlessly, rational and calm, as if the dead person had nothing to do with her.
"I didn't find the Seventh Prince when I came down," Jian Xiong paused, his head lowered.
"Get up," Ye Qianmo grabbed the black horse who was restless because of the frightened child with one hand, turned over, and the two of the red cherry blossoms and green willows who were quiet behind her also moved three horses at some point, and also rode up with her, Jianxiong took the stiff rope in Hongying's hand and jumped up. "Miss, my subordinates asked people to wait there,"
"Stop!" Xia Qi, who had been ignored, snorted, and asked a little accusatory: "Seventh Imperial Princess, this, you shouldn't give General Ben an explanation," he has been sword shadow, trespassing into the military camp and killing without mercy, and when Ye Qianmo came, he also let people announce it first.
Zhao Tian frowned, the disgust in his eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "General, the law is nothing more than human affection, not to mention that this person came here because of the matter of the Seventh Prince, even if he is the person of the Seventh Prince, there is no malicious intent, why should the general be entangled in this!" ”
"Vice General Zhao, it's you who is in charge, or General Ben has the final say!" Xia Qi's voice was sharp.
Zhao Tian would remember the trust of the three princes when he left, but this was not the time to offend him, so he glanced at Ye Qianmo guiltily and retreated unwillingly.
Ye Qianmo looked at Xia Qi coldly, "Xia Qi, send someone to go with this palace." ”
Xia Qi listened to her commanding tone, and couldn't help sneering, and said: "The Seventh Princess, don't you know the truth of 'will not be subject to the outside', since Vice General Zhao interceded for him, and the general also saw that the Seven Princes had just died, so they would not pursue it, as for sending troops," he turned pale and arched his hand: "The Seventh Emperor will not be able to obey his fate, the Northern Qi soldiers are ready to go, this war is about to begin, and the Seven Princes have now sacrificed for the country, General Ben can't ignore the lives and deaths of these soldiers just because he wants to find the corpses of the Seven Princes! The Seven Princes and Concubines are kind-hearted, and they don't know these people to worship and die. ”
Hongying's chest was furious by his mouthful of 'corpses', and she glared angrily, but she still restrained herself and did not say anything.
Ye Qianmo looked at him coldly, sneered, and said, "Then the palace is here to congratulate General Xia on his victorious return to the court, and he is a very good minister!" So saying, he rode away without looking back. The other three followed her.
Xia Qi looked at the figures of the four people in the distance, snorted coldly, looked back at the faces of everyone who were not tasteful, was annoyed in his heart, and shouted: "War plan, you still have the leisure to worry about the rest of the things here, do you think that you are all foxes, you have nine lives, and one is not enough for others to cut!" ”
The crowd roared, muttered something, and dispersed.
Xia Qi's anger accumulated in his heart finally came out of most of it, and he didn't feel that his heart was much happier, and his face was not as dark and blue as just now, and he wanted to return to the camp, but when he turned around, he was startled by Zhao Tian, who was standing there straight like a stake without saying a word, the corners of his eyebrows jumped, and he said with a smile: "Does Vice General Zhao still have advice?!" ”
"Don't dare," Zhao Tian smiled slightly, "The last general is just asking the general here, and if General Wu Yong is missing, who should fill his position?" "Wu Yong manages the grain and grass like him, and now that he has one less confidant, he is afraid that there will be trouble again, so it is better to let him bring it up, and it can be regarded as buying him a favor.
Sure enough, Xia Qi's face looked much better, he patted his shoulder, and the two brothers smiled goodly: "General Zhao, let's discuss this matter together." ”
Zhao Tian's eyes flashed with contempt, but his attitude was extremely respectful, and he said a lot of excuses in his mouth, as if he couldn't push it, so he entered the camp with him.
"Miss, if there is no news from the Seventh Prince, it means that he is still alive," Lu Liu handed the sleeping bag in his hand to Ye Qianmo and said worriedly. Xia Qi's military camp was still some distance from the place where the Seven Princes were trapped, they ran without sleep for two days, according to Jianxiong's description, they might be able to walk for another two or three hours to arrive, which may be the reason why the young lady stopped.
Ye Qianmo patted the horse's head, and the black horse seemed to know human nature, and rubbed her palm as if comforting. Ye Qianmo pursed her lips, as if she heard her words but didn't seem to hear them, she took her water bag, took a few gulps, her thirsty lips touched the water droplets greedily and sucked it in, she licked her lips, and gnawed on the food without knowing the taste.
Hongying fed the horse frustrated and scared, the young lady was too calm, a calm subordinate, and didn't say anything except asking for half a superfluous word along the way, knowing that she was in a hurry, and the food was solved immediately, and she looked haggard like this for two days.
Suddenly, Ye Qianmo frowned, put down the food in her hand, and looked at it vigilantly. The other three also stood up, came to her side and stood around her in a protective posture, after a while, a team of people came violently, and saw a few people standing there who were obviously waiting for people stunned for a moment, and the leader shouted: "The front is the Seventh Princess,"
Hongying glanced at Ye Qianmo, Ye Qianmo bowed slightly, and Hongying shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, just do it, don't grind, pretend, didn't Xia Qi sent you here!" ”
The man laughed, not angry at her words, and said appreciatively: "This girl is also bold, but, alas, it's a pity, it's a pity that she can only take the lives of a few people when she is ordered to be loyal, do it,"
When Ye Qianmo opened his mouth, he knew that he was not sent by Xia Qi, this person was full of anger, "Slow, who sent you?" ”
The man saw a woman with a beautiful face, thinking of the words of the employer, knowing that this was the person to be killed today, he shouted pity in his heart, and thought of the employer's appearance, and said with a smile: "The Seventh Princess, I have no enmity with you recently, but unfortunately you have offended people, since you want to know, it is expected that you will not live tomorrow, and I will reveal one or two to you in the future, and it will not be considered to ruin the rules of the gang." ”
At this time, Ye Qianmo was a little surprised, "You are the horse gang?" ”
