Whether the battle court and Ye Huawan can be perfect or not, Bai Qige didn't have the heart to think about it for the time being, and after surviving the night of gathering people in Qiaojiazhai with strong wine, early the next morning, Bai Qige proposed to rush to the imperial capital.

"Don't wait for Vice General Xu?" Looking at the 1,800 people who were uneven, Ning Xi was a little hesitant to get drunk.

"No matter how fast the Red Tassel Army marches, it can't be as fast as ours, and it will take at least three or two days for them to come to Qiaojiazhai, so it's better for us to wait while hurrying, anyway, these horses are definitely not as fast as the Red Tassel Army." Bai Qige replied simply, without the slightest hesitation, "Fortunately, we can meet before we reach the imperial capital, and the luck is almost just waiting for them outside the imperial capital for a while, and then decide whether to impact or not." ”

Rather be drunk than noncommittal, things are indeed as Bai Qige said, there is no other choice but to take one step at a time.

With the full support of the owner of Qiao's old village, the team of nearly 900 people in Qiaojiazhai came out of the mountain, one person and one horse, and the scimitar followed, looking magnificent from a distance, but up close, they were all rough and unruly rough men. The sharp-eyed people saw at a glance that these people were from Qiaojiazhai, and thought that the stable Dazhai was going to move, and many people stopped in front of the road and knelt down to beg the "mountain bandits" not to leave, which made Ning Xi drunk and others cry and laugh.

Parents and officials are not one party's sky, but these mountain bandits have become the most trusted by the people, which shows the great influence of Qiaojiazhai.

Because some people appeared from time to time to ask and block, the group of people and horses traveled much slower than expected, but before they reached the vicinity of the imperial capital, Xu Zezhi had already led the Red Silk Army to catch up. The convergence of the two parties coupled with the people who came to support from the rivers and lakes after hearing the wind actually reached 1,900 people, and the huge number made Bai Qige also slightly surprised, and after careful questioning, he learned that many people came to help because of the name of her and Yi Chenjing, and the names of the prince general and the war concubine had already spread all over the country, and they were respected and admired by many hot-blooded people.

Anyway, a lot of people is not a bad thing, when Bai Qige put on the armor sent by Xu Zezhi, he looked like a general with troops.

The day before approaching the imperial capital, someone took the initiative to find Bai Qige, and the surprise came again in the tense atmosphere - the visitor with a big hat covering his face made Bai Qige vaguely feel familiar, and when the person took off the hat, Bai Qige almost exclaimed, and the reunion was even more moved than happy.

"General Xiao! How did you end up here? ”

Laughing and putting the hat aside, Xiao Baishan rubbed his gray hair, and his eyes were full of excitement: "I heard that someone along the road did not collect the army bloodlessly, and the last general knew that it was the princess who came when he guessed it, who else has this ability besides the princess?" Those mountain bandits and thugs are all people who hate the imperial court, and only the crown princess, who has dealings with people in the rivers and lakes and is in the harem of the former dynasty, can allow the two sides to coexist peacefully, so when I heard that the mixed army was coming to the imperial capital, I didn't have time to eat, so I waited for the princess here. ”

"What an army, General Xiao is joking nonsense again." Bai Qige turned his head and raised his chin, looking helplessly at the noisy crowd, "There are less than two thousand people in total, most of them are elite soldiers led by the second brother, and most of them are civilian brothers who help each other, and I don't know how big the gap is with the team that blockaded the imperial capital." By the way, does General Xiao know about the situation in the imperial capital? Who were the people who were sent to guard the imperial capital? ”

Speaking of business, Xiao Baishan put on a relaxed look, and pulled Bai Qige to sit under the tree on the side of the road: "This matter is a long story, the princess listens to me slowly." After the accident in the palace, the last general was also confused for a long time, and it was not until one night that two people sent the seriously injured general to the last general's house to learn the inside story. The crown princess should know that the prince has a group of men, right? This group of people has always been in charge of Qi Dong, the protégé of General Even, and after King An Ning launched the palace mutiny, he immediately sent people to arrest Qi Dong and torture him, but also because Qi Dong was a man, he didn't say where those people were or who contacted him until he died. The even general was also captured by King Anning, and was originally locked up in Ziyun Palace with the emperor and the queen, and later the queen found an opportunity to untie the rope on the puppet general's wrist, which gave the even general a chance to escape, but he had to endure the poison on his body all the way to avoid the pursuit and killing, and when he arrived here, the even general only had half a life left......"

Thinking of the still unconscious Sui Liang, Xiao Baishan couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes and take a deep breath before continuing.

"The last general escaped from the imperial capital at night, and found His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with a token, and now they are waiting to meet the Crown Princess four or five miles to the east. As for the people who besieged the imperial capital, the last general and other soldiers all felt that they were alive, and they expected that they should be similar to us, and they were the team privately raised by King Anning. The last general sent someone to investigate before, and there were about four or five thousand people on the other side - oh, the private soldiers and the outer city forbidden army were added together, and the outer city forbidden army was also there. ”

The forbidden army in the outer city is under the jurisdiction of even Suiliang, and now that even Suiliang has escaped injured, Yi Chenxuan can re-elect people to take over for various reasons, so it is not surprising that these people were sent to besiege the imperial capital together.

Bai Qige twisted his fingers, looking at his expression was not easy: "The forbidden army is all elite soldiers trained by the general of the puppet, and what we can compare with in our hands is probably the second brother's Red Silk Army, but the Red Silk Army is only more than 700 people, how can it fight against four or five thousand troops?" Those brothers in Qiaojiazhai are not soldiers, they are brave and inexperienced, and I don't want them to have too many casualties. Generally speaking, we have to have fewer enemies and more enemies, and the gap is extremely large, and the odds of victory are really slim. ”

After a closer look, Xiao Baishan soon found that those people in Qiaojiazhai were a temporary patchwork team, and their combat strength was at most half of the number, and the situation was really not optimistic.

The two sat in silence for a while, no one could think of any good way, Bai Qige endured it for a long time and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Chen Jing...... Does General Xiao know about the crown prince's situation? ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in a very good situation." Xiao Baishan shook his head, seeing Bai Qige's instantly bleak face, he was a little unbearable, but he still hardened his heart to tell the truth, "Although General Puppet couldn't meet King An Ning and the emperor when he was locked up in Ziyun Palace, he could hear them talking, and King An Ning often said something about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as if he wanted to stimulate the emperor. His Royal Highness fell into an ambush and was poisoned by snakes, and after being locked in the prison, he was entangled by a group of poisonous snakes, and King An Ning thought of many ways to torture His Royal Highness......" As he spoke, Xiao Baishan choked up, and paused before continuing, "I really think that King An Ning is gentle and elegant on weekdays, but he is so vicious and ruthless in his bones, if he can't rescue His Highness, the emperor, and the queen as soon as possible, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"Save, what can I save......" Bai Qige lost her mind, and looked at the crowd of people who were drinking happily not far away, and her heart became more and more entangled.

What is needed most at the moment is troops, enough to confront the four or five thousand people who are besieging the imperial capital, and it is impossible to send people to relieve the siege of the enemy country outside the Hongying army on the Zhao side, Qiaojiazhai can lend nearly a thousand troops is already doing his best, what about the remaining thousand? What should she use to fill this loophole, and whose strength will she rely on to break through the blockade and break into the palace to save people?

If anything, there is only one side left.

Sensing the slight change in Bai Qige's eyes, Xiao Baishan had a vague unspeakable worry, and just wanted to ask, but was interrupted by two figures walking towards Bai Qige.

Watching the two people get closer and closer, Bai Qige didn't know whether to be happy or disgusted, and the contradictory expression on his face turned into a bitter smile when he thought that Yi Chenjing might be being tortured, stood up, and looked at the two calmly.

"The military advisor and General Lu have just the right time, and they are worthy of being prepared."

Listening to Bai Qige's tone with three points of sarcasm, Wu Siying was quite uncomfortable, but in the end he was more ashamed: "The lord's order, Wu Siying really can't be disobeyed, and I ask the third lady to understand." ”

"That's it, it's me who has asked for Anling, and it is natural to accept the conditions." Bai Qige turned his head to Lu Feidu, the closeness and gentleness in his eyes could not be found again, and he only faced the indifference of the stranger, "I want to understand An Ling's sincerity first, there are as many as four or five thousand people guarding the imperial capital this time, how many soldiers and horses can An Ling lend me, and can these soldiers and horses do their best to help me?" ”

Without the relationship of the Bai family, Lu Feidu's closeness to Bai Qige was obviously weaker than that of Wu Siying, seeing that Bai Qige was going to accept the conditions, he immediately stretched out four fingers, and his tone was not without pride: "Our army's four thousand soldiers and horses are ten miles away, the third lady only needs to sign the contract, and I can let these four thousand soldiers and horses arrive before noon tomorrow, and guarantee that they will do their best to confront the enemy, and there will be absolutely no slackness." ”

The soldiers of Anling are all bandits and thugs, strong and healthy and not afraid of death, plus the training of Wu Siying and Lu Feidu, they can take out a battlefield expert who has experienced a hundred battles, although they are not as elite as the Red Silk Army, but their strength is much higher than that of ordinary soldiers and the forbidden army. With the help of such an elite 4,000 soldiers, it was easy to break through the blockade.

After receiving a reassuring reply, Bai Qige nodded lightly, stretched out his hand and spread it out in front of Wu Siying: "What about the contract?" ”

"Here." Wu Siying hurriedly took out a roll of brown paper from his arms, and before he could hand it to Bai Qige, he was stopped by a pair of big hands, and looked up in surprise, it was Xiao Baishan who was blocking the center with a cold eyebrow.

"What deed? Who are these people? What pact did the crown princess make with them? A lot of questions bombarded Bai Qige like a cannon.

Bai Qige stretched out his arm to take the contract, and pretended to be relaxed in the face of Xiao Baishan: "General Xiao hasn't heard it yet?" These two were the envoys of the Anling Kingdom. This is the Wu Siying Division, this is General Lu Feidu, and General Xiao should have had contact with the Anling Army led by them when he was in Monan. ”

In the past, a series of incidents were caused by An Lingguo, and now An Ling sent someone to intervene in the palace change and what contract to make with Bai Qige, Xiao Baishan's hostility towards An Ling has increased unabated.

"I'll see!" Snatching the contract, Xiao Baishan glared at Wu Siying and Lu Feidu vigilantly, and was guessing in his heart whether An Ling planned to land in Yaoguo or form an alliance with Zhaoguo, but was completely stunned by the content of the contract.

About Guoanling borrowed 4,000 elite soldiers to Bai Qige, the third lady of the Bai family, to help the prince of Yaoguo relieve the siege. After this incident, An Ling and Zhao formed an alliance, and the third lady of the Bai family married into An Ling as the main wife, and was never allowed to meet people from distant countries again.
