Things came suddenly, Luo Qingzhi was completely unprepared, and even forgot to resist.

It began to rain outside the tent, and Luo Qingzhi listened to the slightly chaotic footsteps outside the tent.

The person on his body disregarded his temperature, the ointment on his chest had been rubbed off, and Luo Qingzhi felt the slimy bloodstains.

Instantly coming back to her senses, she began to push, "Hurt, you have injuries."

Gao Zhen pressed Luo Qingzhi's hand above his head as if he had taken drugs, and continued to open up new territories.

Luo Qingzhi said sharply, "Erlang, stop."

Gao Zhen came back to his senses, stopped what he was doing, and stared at Luo Qingzhi innocently with scarlet eyes.

Luo Qingzhi coughed lightly and looked at Gao Zhen's bleeding wound.

"The wound is ruptured."

Gao Zhen sighed, sat up, and was silent.

Luo Qingzhi also got up, pulled up her open clothes, picked up the medicine box, and re-treated Gao Zhen's wounds.

Gao Zhen pressed his palms against the bed and lowered his head.

Luo Qingzhi didn't speak, just silently treated the wound.

The wound was redressed, Luo Qingzhi pressed her hands on the edge of the bed, and looked up at Gao Zhen, "You...... Bear with me."

Gao Zhen didn't expect that Luo Qingzhi's words were this, and she couldn't help laughing.

"I thought you'd be angry."

Luo Qingzhi asked rhetorically, "Why do you always think I'm angry, in your eyes, I'm so easy to get angry?"

Gao Zhen said, "I'm afraid you'll be angry."

The rain outside the house also happened to stop, and Luo Qingzhi's subtle sigh could be heard quietly inside the house.

"It's too late, go to sleep." Luo Qingzhi said softly.

Luo Qingzhi slept on the outside with her clothes closed, leaving the inside to Gao Zhen.

Early the next morning, Luo Qingzhi was woken up by the dazzling sunlight.

Last night was in such a hurry that she didn't close the window, and the sun shone on her face like this.

She turned around, and the bed on the other side was empty.

During the day, she had no problem with her eyesight, and remembering the note that she hastily placed under her pillow last night, she reached out and took it out.

She watched it very quickly, and finally understood what happened to Gao Zhen last night.

Luo Qingzhi tidied up her clothes and opened the tent, but unexpectedly, there was no one to guard it.

She walked out of the tent and began to search for her southbound journey.

According to the general camp layout, the east side is the main camp tent, and the west side is the corporal's camp tent, and she walked towards the west side, avoiding the patrols along the way.

When I came to the cell where I was briefly held, it turned out to be the most guarded place.

She surveyed the terrain, and she guessed that Southbound was being held on the west side of the cell.

Luo Qingzhi detoured to the back of the tent and listened with her ears, but did not hear any sound.

Just as she thought she might have made a mistake in judgment and was about to leave, a voice came from inside the tent.

"General Nan, you're so badly injured, or let's bow our heads."

"No, General Mu and the young marshal can't die in vain."

"General Wood is dead?" Luo Qingzhi was a little surprised.

Voices continued to come from the tent, "But General, if your life is gone, then no one will know the truth."

There was a moment of silence, as if the southbound was thinking.

Luo Qingzhi guessed that there should be no guards in the camp, looked at the guards around her, and returned to the camp by the same route.

Back at the camp, Gao Zhen had not yet returned, she breathed steadily, sat on the bookcase, and thought about her next move.

"Knock-knock!"

"County Lord, the villain has brought you something to eat."

Luo Qingzhi said, "Come in."

With Luo Qingzhi's permission, a man with a rickety body came in.

When the man came in, he first placed the food box on the desk, glanced around, and asked, "The commander is not there?"

Luo Qingzhi was wondering about this person's question, and was a little happy to see the black mole on the man's hand

, asked tentatively, "Qin Shu?"

The man smiled, "The master recognized me so quickly."

Qin Shu said, slowly straightening up.

"How did you get in?" Luo Qingzhi said.

"It's complicated," Qin Shu said, "I'll tell you the point, Your Majesty asked me to tell you that in seven days, the Pingbei Army will be ordered to attack."

Luo Qingzhi frowned, "Your Majesty......"

She wanted to persuade Gao Zhen to surrender, but she forgot that Gao Yan was the emperor and couldn't let her drag on for time.

"Okay, I understand." Luo Qingzhi said.

Qin Shu said, "Someone is coming, I have to go out, if there is any news that needs to be delivered, you just need to say that you want to eat hibiscus cake, and I will come in."

"Okay, you get out of here."

As soon as Qin Shu walked with his front foot, Gao Zhen came in with his back foot.

Seeing that Luo Qingzhi was eating slowly, she smiled, "Is it appetizing?"

"Not bad." Luo Qingzhi said.

Luo Qingzhi looked up, glanced at the location of his wound, and asked, "How is the wound?"

Gao Zhen said, "It's all right."

The two sat opposite each other, speechless for a moment.

The sound of the crockery tapping was unusually loud in the quiet space.

"Arlo, I must win this battle."

Listening to Gao Zhen's affirmative voice, Luo Qingzhi put down the dishes and chopsticks.

"You can't win this battle."

Gao Zhen also put down the dishes and chopsticks.

"I'll find someone to take you back later."

Luo Qingzhi sighed, "I won't leave."

Gao Zhen also sighed, "Ah Luo, I won't hurt you, but I won't betray my mother either."

Luo Qingzhi remembered that when she was in Ningzhou, under this question, Gao Zhen firmly chose herself, she asked, "When you were in Ningzhou, you said that you chose me."

"Let me fail you." Gao Zhen turned his face away.

Luo Qingzhi said, "I'll give you a chance to live up to me."

Gao Zhen turned his head and looked at Luo Qingzhi.

"Come back with me, and I'll protect you." Luo Qingzhi said solemnly and firmly.

「......」

Gao Zhen shook his head, "Ah Luo, do you know where I went just now?"

Luo Qingzhi shook her head.

Gao Zhen said, "Yesterday, I expelled Ouyang Hong, and this morning, half of the garrison escaped."

Luo Qingzhi finally understood why there were no guards outside the account today.

Gao Zhen continued: "The Mu family army is not completely obedient to orders, and they can't be killed or let go when they go south."

He smiled and said, "The only thing I can mobilize is the less than a thousand Dark Guards."

"Then why are you doing this?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

Gao Zhen sighed first, and then said slowly: "Although the mother concubine is radical, but Gao Yan failed her first, and killed my father and emperor, as a son of man, if I still live under your protection with peace of mind......" He shook his head, "Ah Luo, I can't do it."

Luo Qingzhi was a first-hand witness to what happened back then, so naturally she couldn't excuse Gao Yan, she thought about it and said, "You, take me to see your mother."

「.....」

Luo Qingzhi explained, "Don't worry, she won't kill me at this time, and I won't touch her."

"Okay."

When Gao Zhen took Luo Qingzhi into Shu Yuan's tent, she was not surprised at all.

Luo Qingzhi saluted respectfully, "I've seen the concubine."

Shu Yuan smiled and looked at Gao Zhen, "Ah Zhen, you go out."

Gao Zhen was unwilling, and Luo Qingzhi also turned her head and said, "It's okay, you can go."

The two sat opposite each other, and Luo Qingzhi got straight to the point.

"Mother, I want to make a deal with you."

Shu Yuan smiled and nodded, "It seems that we coincide, County Lord, I also want to make a deal with you."

"Then, Niang Niang will say it first."

Shu Yuan was not polite, and said directly, "My son needs to be the emperor."

Luo Qingzhi asked, "What do you want to exchange for?"

Shu Yuan stared at Luo Qingzhi, "Anything is fine."

「......」

Shu Yuan continued, "County Lord, you are so smart, why haven't you thought about why it is today."

Luo Qingzhi didn't understand and asked, "What do you mean?"

Shu Yuan smiled, but there was blood left on the corner of his mouth.

"!"

Luo Qingzhi's shouting made Gao Zhen outside the account rush in.

He ran to Shu Yuan's side and held her outstretched hand.

"Ah, Ah Zhen, in the future, that is, you are alone..... It's ...... alone."

Gao Zhen hugged her and began to panic, "Mother, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I'm going to fight, I'm going to fight for the throne, Mother, I'm going to ......."

Shu Yuan smiled, turned her head to look at Luo Qingzhi with difficulty, and slowly closed her eyes.

"Mother!"

Luo Qingzhi's heart tightened, worried that Gao Zhen would misunderstand that she had hurt her mother.

Before she could continue to worry, the news came from outside the account.

"It's coming, it's coming."

Luo Qingzhi came out of the camp and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The Pingbei Army is coming."

Luo Qingzhi returned to the camp tent and happened to meet Gao Zhen's eyes, she couldn't tell the emotions expressed in Gao Zhen's eyes, there was no anger, no sorrow, it turned out to be an indifferent look.

Gao Zhen put Shu Yuan down gently, and walked towards Luo Qingzhi step by step, obviously he had no killing intent on him, but she actually had a feeling of wanting to escape.

Mo is not the unique oppression of the Gao family's royal family, and in the end, Luo Qingzhi could only stand in place.

Gao Zhen had already approached, "Ah Luo, I don't have any relatives anymore."

Luo Qingzhi comforted softly, "You have me."

Gao Zhen cautiously stretched out his hand, but retracted it again.

Luo Qingzhi said, "You stay in the tent, I'll solve this matter."

"Don't." Gao Zhen refused, pulled her sleeve, and now he seemed to be back to the appearance in Jinling, so sticky.

Luo Qingzhi thought about it, maybe it was really unsafe to leave him here alone, and stretched out her hand, "Then, let's go."

The two walked out of the camp tent, and there was already a mess outside the tent, Luo Qingzhi got on the horse and pulled Gao Zhen to the horse.

She cried out, "Stay where you are."

Luo Qingzhi's voice was like a life-saving talisman, everyone was no longer flustered, and watched the two of them ride away.

As soon as she walked out of the camp, she met a team under the banner of "Luo", she reined in her horse, looked around, saw no familiar figure, and asked, "Who is leading the troops?"

The striker stepped forward and said, "My subordinate Yizhou staff general Wang Qi is the county lord."

"Yizhou?"

Luo Qingzhi thought for a while and said, "The rest of the soldiers have surrendered and are not allowed to take their lives."

Wang Mu was a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty's order is to annihilate everything."

"I'll go and see Your Majesty." After Luo Qingzhi finished speaking, she drove forward.

Gao Zhen wrapped his arms around Luo Qingzhi's waist and leaned on her back.

Back at the Pingbei Army barracks, Feng Zinan was a little shocked, "Young Master, why are you back?"

Luo Qingzhi asked, "You didn't receive the order to attack?"

"No."

Luo Qingzhi snorted coldly, "What about Your Majesty?"

Feng Zinan was even more puzzled, "Your Majesty has already left for the palace, and you left this morning, don't you know?"

「......」
