Chapter 163: The Holy Maiden of Qiuzi has finally returned
"Don't worry, we don't necessarily have to rush to General Pu, as long as we can see the battle situation.
If you don't feel at ease, you can send two people to investigate the situation first.
Besides, if there is a real fight in front, maybe we people can still help? β
After listening to Erma's explanation, Lu An finally let go of the last bit of vigilance.
"Okay, Lingfeng, you send two people to explore the way in front and report the situation at any time.
In addition-
Erma's body hasn't fully recovered yet, Qiao'er, you bring five people to protect her at all times. β
"Yes." Qiao'er took the order.
Ruma pursed her lips in disdain, but said nothing, turned and got into the carriage, while Tuia became her coachman.
The team marched forward for about three miles before being stopped by someone sent by Pu Zhen.
At this time, Lu An and the others were only about three miles away from Pu Zhen's ambush, so in order not to startle the snake, they could only stop and find a hidden place.
As expected, just after dawn, a few miles away, a rush of horses' hooves was heard.
After a while, five miles away, almost two thousand men and horses, murderously rushed straight to Yu Shushou to capture the city.
When nearly half of the opponent's team crossed over Shucheng, and the vanguard was even only about a mile away from Lu An and the others, Pu Zhen, who had already ambushed the nearby, gave an order and took the lead in killing.
In an instant, the two sides fought together.
"Kill!"
Seeing this, Mu Lingfeng shouted loudly, and led his two hundred men to kill him head-on.
Seeing this, the head of the Long family led by the other party immediately panicked, turned his horse's head and was about to retreat.
"Capture Long Sen, can't let him run!"
Elder Bayan didn't care about his old age, and pointed at Long Sen who was the leader and shouted.
The cavalry, who rushed out from Qiuzi and planned to go to Yanqi to rescue, was already in chaos after discovering that they had been ambushed.
In the team, the two people led by Bai Yangshu and Long Sen of the Qiuzi Bai family, under the desperate protection of their subordinates, finally broke away from Pu Zhen's pursuit and fled with nearly 200 people all the way to the west.
As for the rest of the people, after the main general fled, they were quickly defeated, and in addition to the battle dead, there were more than 800 people!
"Kill them all!"
Pu Zhen's eyes widened angrily, like a demon god crawling out of hell, pointing at the soldiers and shouting.
When the soldiers who had surrendered heard this, they knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, begging for forgiveness.
"General Pu, many of them were coerced to commit rebellions, and their crimes are not punishable by death.
Why don't you give them a chance? β
Qingchen, who came over in time, took the initiative to intercede for the surrender.
Hearing this, Pu Zhen nodded and said, "Everything is in charge of the light dust girl. β
In his opinion, since these people dare to rebel, they are guilty of unforgivable.
But he was just helping, and when the battle was over, he would have to return to the Central Plains sooner or later.
However, the light dust still has to be controlled, and it is natural to consider more.
"Miss Qingchen, Pu still has to lead troops to pursue the remnants of the enemy, so don't leave it at that."
As soon as Pu Zhen led the troops away, Qingchen, Lu An, Mu Lingfeng, and Elder Bayan took the rest of the people to escort the troops and continue to advance towards Qiuzi.
"Miss, please allow me to take someone to Qiuzi first to make some preparations for Miss to go home!"
After Elder Bayan asked for instructions, he personally took fifty soldiers and left ahead of schedule.
It was almost evening, when Lu An and the others arrived outside Qiuzi City, Elder Bayan and hundreds of people lined up in two rows and waited outside.
Qingchen appeared first, and Elder Bayan led all the people to kneel on the ground.
"Welcome home!"
"Welcome home!"
Roars resounded in the sky.
Not only Qingchen, but even Lu An, Mu Lingfeng and others also felt the excitement in the shouts of the people of Qiuzi.
Qingchen turned over and dismounted, personally stepped forward to help Elder Bayan up, looking at the wide open city gate, Qingchen was full of emotion.
"Finally home!"
"Yes, Miss, you're back, and the people of Qiuzi finally have a backbone!"
Elder Bayan burst into tears, "Miss, under the first king Jiuquan, it should be enough to comfort you when I see you come back."
When General Pu returns from killing the enemy, the old man will take the rest of the elders and hold an enthronement ceremony for the young lady!
From now on, you will be our Queen of Qiuzi!
The spirit of the first king in the sky will definitely bless the young lady and lead us Qiuzi people to live a happy life! β
"Definitely!" Qingchen nodded heavily.
"Holy Maiden!"
"Holy Maiden!"
"Holy Maiden!"
In bursts of cheers, Qingchen and the others slowly entered the city.
Inside the city gate, on an empty field of about 100 meters, there were more than 100 people kneeling under the black pressure.
Elder Bayan pointed at them angrily and said, "Miss, they are all remnants of the Bai family, please decide what to do with them." β
Qingchen shook his head and sighed, "The ancestors of the Bai family were also loyal subordinates of the great ancestors, but I can't imagine that today...... Forget it, take them into custody first, and then discuss the crime another day. β
"Yes!"
Elder Bayan waved his hand, and the group of soldiers who entered the city first immediately escorted the remnants of the Bai family away.
In the southeast corner of Qiuzi City, the mighty and magnificent Qian'an Palace soon appeared in front of everyone.
The servants of the Qian'an Palace, who had already received the news, all knelt on the ground, "Welcome to the Holy Maiden!" β
Qingchen took a step forward and helped up the first old woman, "Mother Zhan, don't come to harm!" β
When Zhan's mother got up, she burst into tears, "Miss, you're finally back!"
The slave thinks that she will never see you again in this life!
God forbid, it's good for you to come back, Elder Bayan has already ordered someone to clean up the Qian'an Palace, and also clear out all the items that Bai Yangshu once used.
An Xiuwan, where the young lady once lived, was as usual.
Miss, pleaseβ"
After speaking, Zhan's mother bowed deeply and led her right hand.
Qingchen took Zhan's mother's hand and walked towards the palace together.
Behind him, Lu An, Mu Lingfeng, Erma and the others entered Beiwan on the other side under the guidance of Elder Bayan.
"An Shao, Miss Lingfeng, you are all my young lady's distinguished guests, please take a break in this farewell for a while.
After my young lady has rested, General Pu will return and invite you to the palace.
The old man wanted to discuss with a few elders about the enthronement of the young lady, as well as the banquet and hospitality for all the distinguished guests, and retired first.
If you have any requests, please tell the Wannei guards, and the old man will arrange it. β
To be polite, Elder Bayan also withdrew.
As soon as Lu An turned around, he saw Erma carrying the child into the room without saying a word, and Tuyia consciously stood at the door of Erma's room, acting as a faithful guard.
Without Lu An's instructions, Qiao'er took the five girls and went straight into Erma's room.
"It's finally all right!" Lu An stretched and smiled at Mu Lingfeng.
Before Mu Lingfeng could speak, he saw a maid walk in and bow down, "Mr. Lu, the holy maid is invited." β
Uh-
When Lu An heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Mu Lingfeng awkwardly.
"That, Lingfeng, I'll go for a while?"
"If you have something to do, just go and get busy." Mu Lingfeng smiled, and did not show any dissatisfaction, which made Lu An a little uncomfortable.
Scratching his head, Lu An threw down the sentence "Go and go back", and left with the maid.
It's just that this time, he stayed in An Xiuwan for two whole days!
