I fell silent for a moment, yes, he didn't have a choice. Even if Sheng Yong was really ordered to send troops to reinforcements at this time, he was afraid that the hundred guards in Zhu Gaoxu's camp over there would have been defeated against tens of thousands of soldiers, and whether it was Uncle Mu or Yan Qi, including the Jinyi guards, almost all of them were wounded by arrows. Yan Qi can't abandon Uncle Mu and want to go back to save people, Ah Ping, who is standing in front of me, has to be more forbearant under the mask of calm so as not to show pain.

This place is less than ten miles away from Zhu Gaoxu, and I am afraid that it will be discovered soon. While we were talking, the rest of the guards had put away their tents and the bonfire was extinguished, and we were asked to ride away at once.

It is not suitable to travel in the mountains and forests, so I rode with Ah Ping, and we were surrounded and protected by guards in front and back. Yan Qi had said before that Ah Ping could not leave the palace and leave the capital at this time, after Sheng Yong dispatched a large army to Puzikou, the capital was equivalent to an empty city, and the reason why Zhu Gaoxu did not attack the city after learning the news was that in addition to his loyalty to his father, he was afraid that there would be other defenses in the city, but once the news of Ah Ping's departure from the capital leaked, I am afraid that all directions would come to pursue.

No one spoke, and Ah Ping wrapped his cloak around my head, and I felt only warmth in his arms. It was different from the feeling that Zhu Gaochu took me on a horse before, first of all, Zhu Gaochu still regarded me as a prisoner even if he had doubts about me in his heart, and I was most likely detained on the horse; But Ah Ping hugged me tightly into his arms, holding the reins with one hand and always holding my waist with the other, the whirring wind seemed to be far away from me, and my nerves gradually relaxed.

In a trance, he felt the horse under him stop, and then he was carried off the horse, only to squint and find that he was still under the cloak and went back to sleep. When I woke up, my first reaction was that I was in a narrow space, and there was no familiar breath in the space.

I sat up!

It was found in the carriage, and it was still on the move, but Ah Ping was missing. The heart sank, and it won't ...... again Lifting the curtain, he saw the familiar back at a glance, his heart was relieved, and he secretly thought: It's okay.

It was Ah Ping driving the carriage, but I couldn't understand the guards around me? Why are we all left in the carriage?

I called Ah Ping, he seemed to be focused on driving and didn't hear, I reached out and put my hand on his shoulder and pushed and suddenly realized that something was wrong, his limbs were stiff, and when he pulled back, he saw the person fall upside down.

The first time I saw Ah Ping's eyes closed and there was no breath, which made my blood freeze all over my body, but after the blink of an eye, I found that the person in front of me who was out of breath was not Ah Ping! It was a completely unfamiliar face, I subconsciously shrank back, how could someone look so much like Ah Ping and why did it look like he was dead?

In the blink of an eye, that face changed again, turning into Zhu Gaoxu, who was full of beard, but in the next moment, the closed eyes suddenly opened. I was so frightened that I was so frightened that I couldn't do it, and he rushed straight at me.

"Don't!" I exclaimed, my eyes wide and I didn't know where I was. The footsteps approached, and then I heard an anxious question: "Alain, what's wrong?" His eyes focused a little bit, and when he finally saw that it was Ah Ping, he jumped up and hugged his neck, the dream just now was so terrible that I didn't even dare to think about it.

He whispered in his ear, "Did you have a nightmare?" I hummed softly, but the arm around his neck refused to let go, and the next moment I saw the scene outside and was stunned. retracted his hand, and looked at the few people who were still bandaging their wounds in amazement, weren't there Uncle Mu and Yan Qi among them?

"They're back?" I turned my eyes back and asked.

"Well, I rushed back before dawn."

"That'...... What about the rest? ”

Ah Ping was silent, I saw that there were not many people in the field except for the guards who were originally guarding us leaving, and the silence meant that the hundred guards and the brocade guards were gone? What a heavy number of casualties.

Yan Qi glanced over this side after dealing with his injuries, froze when he met my gaze, and got up and walked over.

Ah Ping also noticed that he was coming, his face suddenly turned cold, and when he walked up, Ah Ping asked in a deep voice, "What else is going on?" Yan Qi's eyes darkened, and he lowered his perspective slightly and said: "Zhu Gaoxu has already led the troops to Puzikou, and he will kill Sheng Yong if he puts down his words." ”

"What do you want to say?"

"Childe, I'm afraid that our trip will delay the fighter plane, and as soon as Puzikou loses, Zhu Di will inevitably go south, Uncle Mu means to stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, it's better to ...... Let's take a break from somewhere else. ”

The atmosphere of the space was suddenly calm, only to hear Ah Ping coldly ask: "You want to abandon Beijing and escape?" ”

Obviously, Ah Ping's tone was already angry, but Yan Qi lowered his head and still admonished: "Childe, if Puzikou is taken, the tens of thousands of elite soldiers guarding outside the capital by Zhu Gaoxu are very likely to attack the capital immediately, even if you want to leave the capital for the sake of the country's righteousness, but you also have to think about her beside you." ”

"Presumptuous!" Ah Ping was furious, and his eyes were full of fire.

I was shocked when I saw this situation, and subconsciously pulled Ah Ping's palm to make him angry, no matter whether Yan Qi's words were unreasonable or not, they were all out of loyalty to Ah Ping. And I saw that Yan Qi's face was as pale as paper, and he walked slowly just now, I am afraid that the injuries on his body are extremely serious.

Ah Ping shook my hand back, although he still looked cold, but his anger was obviously eased in his tone: "I have my own plans, you don't need to say more. Since the injury is so serious, take care of the injury, and don't take it upon yourself to cause future troubles. ”

Yan Qi's face ached, and he knelt in front of him, "Childe, I was wrong." ”

Ah Ping waved his hand, "Let's go down." ”

After Yan Qi left gloomily, I couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong between you and Yan Qi?" His dark eyes locked on my eyes, and he said word by word: "No one is allowed to beat your idea, not Xiao Qi." ”

I was stunned in my heart, was it because Yan Qi had taken the initiative to send me to Zhu Gaoxu's camp before? At that time, Yan Qi's plan was to drag Zhu Gaoxu, but in fact, it really dragged on for more than a day. Judging from the current situation and Yan Qi's advice just now, it seems that the day of delay did not play a role in the war. However, when I learned about the whole process later, I could only sigh at the sentence: Success is also Xiao He, and this Xiao He is me.

Originally, I dragged Zhu Gaoxu's reinforced army halfway, which was extremely helpful to the strategy of Puzikou, and Sheng Yong and Zhu Di won several tough battles, and Zhu Di's army was firmly blocked.

And Zhu Gaoxu has already laid defense lines and traps along the road to reinforce, and as long as he steps on the bottom line, he can kill countless Yan troops. However, when Ah Ping learned that I was also in Zhu Gaoxu's military camp, he not only withdrew many of the defenses, but also transferred troops from the palace to rescue me overnight.

That's why Zhu Gaoxu and I didn't encounter any interception when we came all the way, and because of this change of strategy, the whole battle situation almost collapsed. In the end, Zhu Gaoxu was not able to intercept him, and the night battle in the forest doubled his fighting spirit, and now the whole line is pressed to Puzikou, and with Zhu Gaoxu's fierce attack, I am afraid that Sheng Yong will not be able to resist for a long time.

I asked Ah Ping why he didn't take Yan Qi and Uncle Mu's advice, and he was silent for a long time before he spoke slowly, but I was stunned in place.

He said that from my reaction, I can already predict the future, if it cannot be fundamentally and completely subverted, then no amount of behavior will be just a clown.

If he loses, he will also lose with dignity.

I can understand his mental journey, and the circumstances in which he was born taught him to live gracefully, not humbly. So the fire will eventually come, no matter how turbulent it is, it will eventually come to that place like a river.

I'm back at the palace. Zhu Gaoxu's army only surrounded the main city gate, and we made a detour to enter through the west gate. Thinking about it, it was not Zhu Gaoxu's carelessness, first of all, he was sure that Ah Ping would not escape, and secondly, he was afraid that he would deliberately leave a gap, just waiting for the Yan army to press the border, and this gap would inevitably be closed.

On the first day of the first month of June, Zhu Gaoxu arrived at Puzikou to join the melee, like a fierce tiger, fighting to the death to repel Sheng Yong;

On the third day of the sixth month, the Yan army crossed the river from Guazhou and defeated Sheng Yong, who had retreated here, again;

On the sixth day of the sixth month of June, the army of King Yan arrived at Zhenjiang, and the defenders surrendered without a fight.

At this point, the southern army has been defeated, and there are no more generals to meet the Yan army. On the 8th day of the first month of June, Zhu Di led the army to Longtan, where Zhu Gaoxu was stationed, and was only 30 miles away from the capital.

When this battle report was submitted, the whole court was shaken, and Fang Xiaoru, who originally believed that the Korean army was unshakable, was even more incredulous, and the cultural governance and dedication strategies they promoted disappeared invisibly like paper ashes scattered in the air. At this time, some courtiers had the same idea as Uncle Mu, and they moved the capital to the interior in order to revive it in the future, but Fang Xiaoru argued with the ministers in the name of Taifu, saying that there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in our court, and we should not be afraid of the rebels and thieves.

When I heard this, I was furious in the harem, and I overturned the tables and chairs at hand, and I wanted to grab the filial piety stick and beat it. Pedantic! Stubborn! The so-called Jiangshan Sheji tied up Ah Ping's life, and even asked him to die for it in the end, is there such a reason?

In contrast to my indignation, Ah Ping's attitude made me feel very uneasy. He was like being suddenly drained of his joy and anger, and he was very calm in the face of the war report and the ministers, and most of the time, he sent away those courtiers who were admonishing him in a few words.

When I returned to the harem, he could still tell me about the affairs of the DPRK and China in a calm tone, and I asked him why he was not angry, but he smiled and said that Fang Xiaoru was doing things sincerely, but he just said things within his duties.

I was silent, and didn't try to influence his thoughts anymore.

It's time to say more, and how to choose is already in everyone's heart.
