Outside the city gate of Huazhou, soldiers stepped forward and stopped Qin Tianze and them.

"Bold, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dares to stop you?!" Cheng Dong took out the token and shouted.

The soldier looked at it and was not sure, so he asked them to wait first, and turned around to find someone else, and this time, it was General Wei himself.

Qin Tianze walked out of the carriage, and General Wei came to take a look, and immediately dismounted to kneel on the ground, but he held his hand.

"Let's talk about it at your house."

General Wei looked at him again and again, and finally lowered his head and said yes, showing them the way.

As soon as he arrived at the house, Qin Tianze asked him to retreat the rest of the people, and asked Chi Yuan and them to stay outside the door.

Old General Wei knelt down and said, "The old minister deserves death!"

Qin Tianze didn't help him up again this time, but looked down at him and said, "The general knew that his father had the intention of letting you stay here, why did he let him down so much?"

General Wei said: "The minister is dedicated to His Majesty, to Daqin, but King Ning is kind to the minister, although the dog has been gone for many years, but if it wasn't for his help, the dog would have been beheaded by the enemy, and he would not have died a whole corpse."

"So you're standing with Uncle Huang because of this?" Qin Tianze said in a deep voice.

Old General Wei raised his head suddenly, and said with a straight back, "No! The old minister has nothing but to let him go, and he has nothing to ask the old minister to turn against him." He paused and said, "After he left, Lao Chen sent people to follow him all the way, wanting to destroy him in one fell swoop after he walked out of the realm, but he miscalculated and was killed by his people."

"Your Highness! The minister knew that he could not escape the death penalty, but now he had a delusional thought, and asked His Highness for a favor to allow the old minister to die on the battlefield for Daqin!"

Qin Tianze nodded: "Father knows that the general is a human being, so let the palace come to understand, and also let the general make meritorious service, if this counterinsurgency is successful, the general's crime will not affect his family."

He motioned to Cheng Dong, took out the holy decree, and read it to General Wei.

Old General Wei bowed deeply to the holy decree, and after solemnly taking it, he discussed it with Qin Tianze, and in the middle, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "When I saw His Highness back then, His Highness was only half up to the old minister, but now he is half a head taller than the old minister."

Qin Tianze only laughed lightly, and after talking to him a few more, he took Lin Yanzhi away.

On the way, Lin Yanzhi asked incomprehensibly, "Your Highness, why did you still let General Wei lead the troops? Isn't Your Majesty afraid that Old General Wei will lie, in fact, he has already thrown himself on King Ning's side?"

Qin Tianze said with certainty: "No, Old General Wei is affectionate, he once swore in front of the emperor's grandfather's sickbed that he would be loyal to his father for the rest of his life, and the rest of his bloodline is only Qiancheng and Yanran's cousin, so his father can let him guard Huazhou with peace of mind." When I first heard that he had made such a great mistake, my father was furious, but after thinking about it, he said that there must be a reason for it, and he asked me to come here."

"If he just closes the city gates and doesn't let us enter the city, or if he has bad intentions after we enter the city, the secret guards hiding in Huazhou City will take him down immediately."

Lin Yanzhi frowned and said, "In that case, why do we need to take the risk of coming here? Wouldn't it be better to escort him back to Beijing directly?"

Qin Tianze leaned closer and said, "Yan Zhi knows where they are going after he lets Uncle Huang and them over?"

Lin Yanzhi was about to shake her head, but suddenly glared and said, "Nanhuai?!"

"That's right, I thought he would bypass Huazhou all the way down and go to Shengjing, but according to the informant, after he passed from Huazhou, he suddenly made a detour to Nanhuai for some reason, and the imperial uncle hoarded a lot of troops, among which he had been marching with him for many years, for a while, he could only let the second brother lead the troops to reinforcements, but those were not enough to resist, and could only drag on for some time, and the only way to transfer men and horses from the vicinity was to transfer men and horses from nearby, so the main purpose of our coming here was to defend the old general's soldiers, if we were fast enough, we could also have a front and back attack with the second brother."

Lin Yanzhi hurriedly said, "Then without further ado, let's not stay here, let's start immediately."

Qin Tianze shook his head again and said, "He just said that some of his people have already been damaged, and the rest are combined with our side, I am afraid that when I get to Nanhuai, I can only fight against Uncle Huang, and I have to wait for the people that my father and emperor have drawn from other states to reinforce them, Yan Zhi, for you, relatively speaking, this place is the safest at present."

Yes, you stay here, and Yao will take care of you."

"No, the minister has to go with His Highness, although the minister can't fight, but the minister also knows that whenever there is a war, there will be casualties, and the minister can help in logistics, take care of the wounded, and have one more person."

Qin Tianze grabbed her hand: "No, if there is a ......

"Your Highness, you don't need to say it anymore, you have all gone to war, and I am hiding here alone waiting for the news, and my heart is even more uneasy." She fixed her eyes on Qin Tianze, "Your Highness, do you remember, I once said to Your Highness that the ministers will always be with you?" If Your Highness does not let the minister go, the minister will secretly follow him."

In the end, at her insistence, Qin Tianze had no choice but to agree first.

When Lin Yanzhi got the answer, she immediately went to Taoxing and told them that she would go to Nanhuai with His Highness and let them stay in this safe place obediently.

When Tao Xing heard this, she was the same as Lin Yanzhi, she didn't want to say anything, and she would definitely go with her.

"My lord, let the slave and maid follow, although the slave and the maid don't know how to heal, but a simple bandage can also be done, and besides, the slave and the maid can cook, no matter what, the soldiers always have to eat, and the slave and the maid can help cook."

Yao Qi listened, nodded and said, "That's right, if they win this time, they will probably be happy to have a good meal."

Ginkgo on the side was silent, and Yao Qi noticed it and asked, "What about you?" Are you going to go with you?"

Ginkgo twisted her fingers, biting her lip, and the word embarrassment was written on her whole face.

Seeing this, Lin Yanzhi deliberately quipped: "You don't know how to cook, you can't cure, and you can't fight, you can only write and draw. So, just stay here and write more interesting books, and when we win the battle, we can come back and read it."

Ginkgo lowered her head, let out a soft "um", and couldn't help but say, "I wish you peace."

"I promise your good words."

Ginkgo didn't dare to look at them, feeling that she was even more embarrassed to stay here, so she hung her head and walked out without saying a word.

Yao Qi looked at the back of her leaving, thinking about what she had just said, the fox glanced at her, and followed out.

She followed all the way, saw Ginkgo enter the guest room, thought about it, quietly jumped to the eaves, hugged her arms and waited.

Really.

It didn't take long to see her carrying a burden, like a thief, looking around cautiously and slowly walking out.

Yao Qi snorted, outsiders are always outsiders.

She went back and told Lin Yanzhi about it.

Lin Yanzhi only shrugged her shoulders: "Don't blame her, she originally followed me, just to enter the palace to find the east wall, but now, she has found it, and she got the professor as she wished, and there is no reason to continue to stay."

Yao Qi smiled and said, "Even so, but you have told her that it is safe to stay here, but she insists on leaving, don't you think this is strange?"

Lin Yanzhi felt strange, but the people who were determined to leave couldn't stay, even if she stayed at the moment, when they went to Nanhuai with their front feet, she would definitely leave with her back feet.

Besides, I don't have a reason to force people to stay.

As Lin Yanzhi's master, Yao Qi naturally guessed what she was thinking, so he said, "If you want to keep her here to come back for interrogation, there are many ways, but you can't bear it in your heart."

Lin Yanzhi did not deny it, although she also secretly observed Ginkgo, she never saw anything, and after getting along these days, she had more or less some feelings.

Yao Qi knocked her forehead: "Fortunately, she is not King Ning's person, otherwise you would be miserable."

"I also know, otherwise I can't bear it, I won't let her leave, and I will tell Master to tie people up." Lin Yanzhi said with a smile.

"Come on, I'll go and talk to Your Highness now, you guys have a good rest, and it is estimated that after the number of people is counted, you will have to start immediately."

Lin Yanzhi said worriedly, "I don't know what happened to the second prince."

Yao Qi patted her on the shoulder: "Let's relax first, at least there is no bad news yet, the only thing is that in these two days, King Ning's army will arrive in Nanhuai."

After she finished speaking, she urged Lin Yanzhi and the others to rest quickly and recuperate, and then went to Qin Tianze.

"Can you convince her?" Qin Tianze didn't raise his head and continued to write.

Yao Qi said: "I am here to persuade Your Highness, Your Highness, your subordinates are afraid to ask, after the soldiers and horses are transferred, do you really think that this place will be the safest?" If this is just King Ning's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and after we leave, he will turn back, what will happen to the disciples who stay here at that time?"

Qin Tianze's subordinates were stunned: "There are not many people in Huazhou, so it is used as an empty city, before that, the secret guards will escort her away, and after that, Huzhou, my father has set up a heavy army and horses there."

"What if? What if they don't rush to take her away?"

"It won't be too late." Qin Tianze put down his pen, looked at her and said, "What do you want to say?"

Yao Ji waved his hand: "It's just that I just want to remind Your Highness that there are always emergencies in the world, just like at that time, didn't Your Highness also send someone to see the hospital, but she was still taken away by the queen's mother, didn't Your Highness marry Miss Su in the end?" Therefore, this person still has to be under his nose to protect her best."

Qin Tianze glanced at her: "In order to be with Chi Yuan, you are also dedicated enough."

Yao Qi smiled and said, "Your Highness has thought too much, by the way, Xiao Taoxing will also follow." She looked at Cheng Dong, "You don't have to speak, Ginkgo is not going, and besides, she is already gone."

When Cheng Dong heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little lost.

The corners of Qin Tianze's mouth twitched, glanced at him, and said lightly, "Can you keep up?"

"Naturally, Your Highness can rest assured."

After listening to it, he nodded a little, and after being told a lot of truths and crooked reasoning by her, he finally agreed, and not long after, the group left Huazhou again, but the team was twice as large as when they came.
