Chapter Ninety-Seven: Rescue
After the affairs in the suburbs were dealt with, Gao Zhen took Luo Qingzhi back to the camp, but he did not unlock her acupoints in the first place.
Gao Zhen squatted in front of Luo Qingzhi, a little aggrieved and a little angry.
"Arlo, why do you always want to run?"
Luo Qingzhi couldn't move, couldn't speak, could only blink her eyes.
But Gao Zhen didn't take any action to unlock the acupoint, and continued, "Ah Luo, I won't let anyone test you anymore, and you don't want to leave anymore, okay?"
Gao Zhen had a pleading tone, but Luo Qingzhi looked at its still scarlet eyes, thinking back to what he had been doing, and suddenly felt bad.
"Okay?" Gao Zhen continued.
Luo Qingzhi nodded.
Gao Zhen smiled, and Luo Qingzhi blinked again, as if to say, let him unlock the acupoint.
"I'll go out and take care of something." Gao Zhen didn't seem to understand, and after saying to himself, he left the camp.
An hour later, the acupuncture channel was automatically unlocked, Luo Qingzhi opened the camp tent, and the guards increased.
"Where's Miss Zhixin?"
The guard replied, "The girl is staying in another tent."
"I want to see her." Luo Qingzhi said.
"Before the young master returns, you can't go anywhere, and you can't see anyone."
Luo Qingzhi closed the door and waited in the room.
By night, her vision had become blurry again.
The door opened, and she immediately looked over.
"Where have you been?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
Gao Zhen walked over slowly and smiled, "Is Arlo worried about me, or is he worried about others?"
Luo Qingzhi walked over, fumbled to find his arm, and poked up.
"At night, you still can't see clearly, do you?" Gao Zhen asked.
Luo Qingzhi didn't answer this question, but asked him, "What did you eat?"
Gao Zhen also avoided this question.
Luo Qingzhi said, "Haven't you noticed that your anger is getting heavier and heavier?"
Gao Zhen didn't respond, but asked, "At night, your eyes still can't see, right?"
Luo Qingzhi sighed deeply, "If I don't answer your question, you won't answer me?"
With this conclusion, Luo Qingzhi and Gao Zhen started an intensive Q&A.
"Yes, my eyes still can't see at night."
Gao Zhen asked, "If I hadn't used Bai Yujue today, you would really have left, wouldn't you?"
"Yes."
Gao Zhen asked again, "If I must fight for this throne, you will really be my enemy?"
"Yes."
Luo Qingzhi did not hesitate when she said every answer, and Gao Zhen's face became worse and worse.
"I've answered so many of your questions, I just need you to answer me one question." Luo Qingzhi said.
Gao Zhen nodded, "You ask."
"What did you eat?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
Gao Zhen took out the black porcelain vase from his arms, "What my mother gave me can enhance my strength."
Luo Qingzhi took the medicine bottle, took out a pill and observed it for a long time, which had never been seen before.
"Don't eat any more." Luo Qingzhi said.
「……」
Gao Zhen didn't answer, nor did he snatch it from Luo Qingzhi.
Luo Qingzhi couldn't see it clearly, so she didn't know that Gao Zhen was now aggrieved.
"Jiro, if there is anything in the past that I didn't express clearly, I can make it clearer."
Gao Zhen don't overdo it, he doesn't want to take on this topic.
Luo Qingzhi took his arm, "At that time, it was my problem that I didn't save your father and didn't protect you, but now that you have rekindled the war, how many innocent people will suffer."
"Stop, Jiro."
Gao Zhen lowered his head, thought for a while, and said, "Can I still turn back?"
Luo Qingzhi felt that things had taken a turn for the better, and immediately nodded and said affirmatively, "Of course."
Gao Zhen hugged her and put his chin on her shoulder and neck, feeling like he wanted to embed her in his body.
"No, Arlo, I can't go back."
Luo Qingzhi widened the distance between the two, although she couldn't see Gao Zhen's appearance clearly now, she still stared at Gao Zhen, and asked word by word: "I don't understand, you can obviously win this throne by relying on the right path, and I will help you, but why do you have to fight for this position on the charge of rebellion."
Gao Zhen looked away and said lightly, "How many years, five years, ten years, or twenty years will it take to use the righteous path?"
He grabbed Luo Qingzhi's arm, "Ah Luo, the matter of Guozijian, if he wants me to go to prison, he will go to prison, and if he wants to stop our wedding, stop it."
Gao Zhen took a deep breath and said seriously, "Ah Luo, I don't want my fate and yours to be arranged by others."
Luo Qingzhi shook her head, "Erlang, that's not how things matter, let's not talk about the outcome of this battle, even if you win, can you really completely control your own destiny?" Your mother? Ouyang's family? Maybe there will be someone else in the future......
"Then why am I fighting for this throne?" Gao Zhen said.
"For the silent majority." Luo Qingzhi said seriously, "Erlang, you have lived in the palace since you were a child, and you have also experienced hardships, so you should know the most about what it is like to be involuntarily."
Luo Qingzhi groped and took Gao Zhen's hand, "Erlang, let's change this situation, okay?"
Gao Zhen was a little loose, and Luo Qingzhi continued, "Believe me, I will always be with you."
「...... Okay."
Seeing that Gao Zhen finally agreed, Luo Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Knock-knock!"
There was a hurried knock on the door, Luo Qingzhi unconsciously panicked, and always felt that something would happen.
The door opened, and Ouyang Hong said with some excitement, "It's successful!"
Gao Zhen was confused, "What success?"
Ouyang Hong explained, "The concubine didn't tell you? The emperor has personally marched and been besieged by us in Xunyang City."
Gao Zhen subconsciously looked back at Luo Qingzhi, looked at her with a worried look, and explained, "I really don't know about this matter."
Luo Qingzhi lowered her head, thinking about the distance between Wuchang and Xunyang, she thought, "If the horse passes quickly, it will be two hours."
"Give me a fast horse." Luo Qingzhi said.
Gao Zhen said, "Don't go."
"If Your Majesty has something to do now, then it's too late." Luo Qingzhi said.
Ouyang Hong didn't know what was going on between the two, so he had to stand where he was, waiting for orders.
Maybe God also hoped that Luo Qingzhi would stop this matter, and the original blurred vision was suddenly extremely clear, and even the internal strength that had been lost for a long time suddenly returned.
She didn't have time to explain more, she slapped over, pushed Ouyang Hong away, ran out of the account, grabbed a horse, and walked away in Gao Zhen's shocked and disappointed eyes.
"Your Highness, won't you stop it?" Ouyang Hong asked.
Gao Zhen stayed where he was as if he hadn't heard, and Ouyang Hong said again, "Your Highness, I'll take someone to chase after you."
"No, I can't come back." Gao Zhen whispered, his eyes darkened, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.
The moment he closed his eyes, he saw Luo Qingzhi's flying figure.
Luo Qingzhi ran wildly all the way, and when he came to the Pingbei Army station, Luo Chen shouted in surprise.
"Master!"
"Don't say hello yet, take 5,000 light cavalry, and go with me to the rescue." Luo Qingzhi said.
Seeing Luo Qingzhi's serious face, Luo Chen immediately turned around and went to order troops.
Hearing the sound, the wind came out from Nan and Qin Shu.
Luo Qingzhi said, "Zhixin is still in Gao Zhen, go and get her back."
Feng Zinan nodded, "Yes."
"Master, order a good soldier." Luo Chen said loudly.
"Okay, Luo Chen will come with me, and the others will stay here."
A group of more than 5,000 people hurried to it, and everywhere they passed was swept dust.
Two hours later, as soon as the sky was bright, Luo Qingzhi arrived outside Xunyang City, and at this time, the city gate had been breached.
Luo Qingzhi ordered, "Luo Chen, you take two thousand people up the mountain from the right flank and suppress them with archers."
"Yes."
"The others are attacking me head-on."
"Yes."
Luo Qingzhi has always liked to attack quickly, and the other party seemed to have no expectation that there would be reinforcements, but after a while, he actually ordered a retreat.
Gao Yan on the city wall looked at Luo Qingzhi under the city wall, and the two looked at each other, but their moods were different.
"I've got ......," Luo Qingzhi thought to herself.
Luo Cheng took the rest of the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and Luo Qingzhi walked up to the city tower to see the driver.
"See Your Majesty."
Gao Yan didn't stop Luo Qingzhi's salute for the first time, he stared at Luo Qingzhi, and it took a long time before he said the first sentence.
"Your eyes, all right."
Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Yes."
There was silence.
Gao Yan said, "I, I, didn't know they would besiege."
Luo Qingzhi nodded, "The minister knows."
Gao Yan saw that Luo Qingzhi was in a bad mood, thinking that she had come to the battlefield to cause her trouble.
"I'm sorry, I ......"
Luo Qingzhi shook her head, turned to look in the direction of Wuchang, and seemed to be muttering to herself, "Hey, I can't go back......
Gao Yan's attention was on Luo Qingzhi, and naturally heard her words, he thought for a while, and asked tentatively, "Do you think the concubine came to besiege on purpose, and she also deliberately informed you of the news."
Luo Qingzhi didn't respond verbally, just sighed deeply, "I have already persuaded Gao Zhen."
"You think she's trying to drive a wedge between you?" Gao Yan asked.
Luo Qingzhi turned her head to look at Gao Yan, "Your Majesty, I seriously ask you, what happened between you and the concubine?"
Gao Yan seemed to hesitate a little, thought about it, and then said slowly: "I think you also know that she was once assigned to me by her father, although I didn't like it, but I didn't resist too much, so I accepted it, and later, I found out that the first emperor was fond of her."
Gao Yan didn't continue, Luo Qingzhi guessed, "So, you let the concubine marry the first emperor as an excuse."
"Yes."
Luo Qingzhi nodded, "No wonder, you are so cruel to their mother and son."
「......」
Gao Yan asked, "Haven't you thought about it, is it their mother and son who hate me?"
「......」
Luo Qingzhi shook her head, not wanting to think about the relationship anymore.
"Now, war is inevitable, so what does Your Majesty think now?"
Gao Yan didn't hesitate, "The rebels should be subdued."
Luo Qingzhi saluted respectfully, "The minister is sure that this battle will be won, but the minister also has a request."
Gao Yan didn't ask Luo Qingzhi's request, and directly said, "I'm approved."
「......」
Gao Yan explained, "With you choosing me between me and him today, I can agree to whatever you want, including letting him go."
