Chapter 48
"I promise your proposal!" Zha Huhe shouted at Shen Yuan, "But how do you guarantee that Your Majesty will sit down and talk to me." โ
Shen Yuan took out two letters from his arms and handed them to the Jin soldiers who were surrounding him, and the little soldiers took the letters and hurriedly ran back and handed them to Zha Huhe. Zha Huhe unfolded and looked at one that said that the six princes were captured and asked for peace, and the other was a long time ago, and it read,
Your life is of the utmost importance, and there shall be no mistake.
There are only twelve short words on it, but it is stamped with the imperial seal. It seems that this emperor has such a high opinion of this sixth prince. When he was in the Great Qi Palace, he heard that the sixth prince was not in good health, so the emperor left him in the palace to worship the Buddha. The people in the palace also avoided the name of the six princes, and they should be a person who is very loved by the emperor.
"If the king agrees to the proposal, then the first letter will soon be sent to the capital."
Zha Huhe nodded and motioned for his subordinates to escort Shen Yuan over. Shen Yuan consciously got off his horse, without being escorted by others, and walked towards Zha Hu and the army, he glanced back at Wang Hu on the city wall.
Walking to Zha Huhe's side, two guards came up and tied up Shen Yuan. When Shen Yuan was tied up, Zha Huhe suddenly ordered an attack, he didn't plan to let go of the border city at all, take the border city, and with Shen Yuan in his hand, then his bargaining chips were not greater.
"Shen Gongzi, I'm sorry, I'm not a trustworthy person."
Shen Yuan just smiled faintly and ignored him, he had already guessed that it was impossible for Zahuhe to keep his promise, so everything just now was just a delaying tactic. While he was out negotiating, the city had already gathered troops to reorganize its men and prepare for the final battle with the Jin soldiers.
At the moment when the Jin soldiers approached the city wall, thousands of arrows were fired on the city wall, which damaged many of their brothers.
Damn it...... Zha Hu and cursed in his mouth. Let people attack in an all-out way. The Jin soldiers had a huge advantage in numbers, but the Qi soldiers were even more invincible, blocking them from the door.
"With a tubing!"
The golden soldiers moved out the oil canister and splashed it on the place where the Qi soldiers were, and the torches were a little bit, and the Qi soldiers were trapped in the fire ring, and many people were stained with fire oil, and the fire had already burned on their bodies, but the knife in their hands was still held tightly.
Seeing that the Jin soldiers were about to break through the defense line of the Qi soldiers, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance. Wang Hu looked at it from afar, it was the flag of the Ye family.
"It's reinforcements, General Ye is back to support us! Brothers, rush! โ
Wang Hu roared loudly, and the Qi soldiers around him regained their fighting spirit when they heard this, and clenched their knives and fought desperately with the enemy.
Zha Huhe didn't expect Ye An and them to come back so quickly, and they panicked all of a sudden, and withdrew to the Ruoqiang River with people.
Ye Hao rode behind Ye Wu on a horse, and this time she and her eldest brother led troops back and forth to help. She led her soldiers and horses to successfully attack the grain and grass of the Jin soldiers, and Moller's army was quickly defeated and retreated. As soon as he met with Ye An, he learned the news that the border city was trapped, and asked for orders to bring soldiers and horses to the rescue.
The white-clothed Jin soldier that Ye Yuan saw at a glance from afar, Shen Yuan, why is he here? Glancing at Zahu and her, she seemed to understand something.
The Jin soldiers escorted the Zha Hu and crossed the river by boat, and Ye Miao chased them to the shore. Zha Huhe sent someone to put the knife on Shen Yuan's neck.
"General Ye, you don't want your prince to be injured!" Zahuhe spoke on the boat.
Ye Yuan glanced at Shen Yuan, Shen Yuan nodded lightly at her, Ye Yuan said with difficulty, "My sixth prince of Daqi has already been brutally killed by you, Your Majesty personally gave him the nickname King of Loyalty and Righteousness, whoever dares to pretend to be the prince here, it doesn't matter if he kills." โ
Only then did Zha Huhe react, he was tricked.
"I didn't expect you Daqi people to be ruthless, and even ignore your own prince."
Shen Yuan chuckled, "Zha Huhe, it's not that they ignore my identity as a prince, but at this moment, I am no longer a prince, I am just Shen Yuan, oh no, I am not even Shen Yuan, I am just a simple Qi person." It's also worth it to have King Dajin as a companion for my cheap life. โ
"You ......" Zha exhaled and breathed so out that he was speechless.
He snatched the rack around Shen Yuan's neck and personally controlled the person in his arms.
"Since you don't recognize this prince, then let this person accompany me today."
Ye Wu glanced at Ye Miao beside him, not knowing what her plans were. Ye Mo retracted the knife from its scabbard and picked up the bow on horseback.
She picked up the bow, put on the bow and arrows, and pulled the bowstring with all her strength with her right hand, aiming at Zha Huhe and Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan suddenly remembered that when he was in the border city, Ye Yuan took him around the border city and met a juggling team. The master of the class is a sharpshooter, and he asks people to stand under the target and wait for the winter dates, and at a distance of three meters, they can shoot through the winter dates without hurting anyone.
At that time, Ah Ma stood in the crowd with him and clapped his hands, and Ah Ma asked himself softly in his ear at that time.
"My archery skills can shoot that winter date from ten meters away, believe it or not!"
Shen Yuan remembered that he had replied with a letter at that time, and now he also believed it.
Zha Huhe's head was hidden behind Shen Yuan, and Ye Yuan pulled the bow and looked into Shen Yuan's eyes along the arrow.
In an instant, Shen Yuan's head tilted slightly, and the arrow in Ye Yuan's hand wanted to shoot straight towards the two of them.
Zha Huhe watched the arrow coming towards him, and hurriedly dragged Shen Yuan to dodge, wanting Shen Yuan to help him block the arrow, but he was not in a hurry, and the arrow grazed Shen Yuan's neck and shot into Zha Huhe's right shoulder.
Zha Huhe's hand was painful, and as soon as the knife on Shen Yuan's neck was loosened, Shen Yuan turned around and jumped into the river. Seeing that he was on the other side, Jin Bing escorted Zha Huhe away, he glanced at the turbulent river, where was Shen Yuan's figure inside, he gritted his teeth and left unwillingly.
Ye Yuan's heart tightened when he saw Shen Yuan, who jumped into the river, and hurriedly sent someone to search for it......

The battle between Daqi and Dajin is finally over. Daqi occupied the three cities of Dajin, and Dajin retreated in a hurry, and then handed over a letter of peace to the ministers. The people of the border city have returned to their old lives, cleaning the city, tidying up their houses, and the ruined border city has begun to regain its vitality.
In the past few days, the people of the border city have been talking about those two things: first, the general's mansion was hung up, and the old general Ye of the Ye family died on the battlefield in order to defend the border city, and the people in the city went to mourn; The second is that before the reinforcements arrived, a righteous man in the city dragged Zahuhe with a trick, delaying time for the reinforcements, and finally the righteous man was taken away by Zahuhe, and would rather die than give in, and threw himself into the Ruoqiang River, and the bones have not been found until now. Many people in the city also went to the Ruoqiang River to mourn this righteous man.
The old woman selling wontons set up a wonton stall again, and the heat slowly rose from the pot, and there was smoke in front of the stall. The old woman sat on a low stool and looked at the blacksmith shop not far away, the door of the shop was not closed, and there was an unobstructed view of the inside, and there were not many weapons left in the shop, only a few short knives. There was a steel knife hanging on the stall, which was just sent by someone in the morning to hang up, the blade was freshly polished, but the handle of the knife was full of mottling, and several of them were newly added, which was the one that Lao Zhang used to kill the enemy in battle. The old woman sighed, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and continued to look at the wontons in the pot.
In the General's Mansion, Ye Jia, Ye Xiu and Ye An knelt in front of the spirit, and behind them knelt Ye Mo and Ye Wu, Ye Xiu, who had just returned with Ye Jia, and Ye Zheng, who was seriously injured, also came with his body bold.
Today is the last day of the resting spirit, and they have come to see the old man on his last journey. They are in the border city, they grew up in the border city, they grew up listening to the war, and they all know that one day they will all die on the battlefield, which is the honor of the soldiers.
Wang Yan came to the door with His Majesty's will to give General Ye Lao, and the group received the order together.
"Your Majesty also said that the Ye family has made a meritorious contribution this time, so let you enter Beijing to be rewarded!"
Performers? As soon as this city was settled, he remembered to transfer their Ye family away from the border city, and it seems that His Majesty is suspicious after all.
Ye An accepted the will and sent Wang Yan away with his face. Wang Yan went out and glanced back at the gate of the General's Mansion, and laughed in his heart, this majesty is suspicious, how long can this Ye family be arrogant? However, this time he has gained a lot of benefits, and His Majesty has ordered him to be transferred back to the army.
On the seventh day of the stoppage, General Ye Lao sent troops, and everyone in the city came to see off the eighty-year-old man and the three-year-old child, and the team lined up from the city to the front of the Ye family's cemetery.
This cemetery is buried with soldiers who died in the Ye family's war for the country, and the graves stretch for miles. General Ye's position was chosen three years ago, when he was seriously injured and almost couldn't survive, and even the location of the cemetery was chosen.
The coffin was buried in the soil, and Ye Miao and they once incensed General Ye. Returning here to be buried with his former comrades-in-arms is also a return to his hometown.
After dealing with General Ye's funeral, the Ye family began to prepare for returning to Beijing. According to His Majesty's orders, Ye Wu was left to garrison the border city, and everyone else had to enter Beijing to be rewarded. However, there is one more thing to deal with before entering Beijing.
Ye An sat in the main seat in the hall, Ye Jia, Ye Yong sat at the bottom, Ye Mo and they sat back in turn, and Ye Xiu brought people back from outside.
This person covered his appearance with a cloth bag on his face, Ye Xiu dragged the person to the hall, lifted the cloth bag, and this person's appearance was revealed.
"Wang ...... Wang Hong! โ
Although Ye An had long known that Ye Xiu had brought Wang Hong back, he was still surprised when he saw it.
As soon as Wang Hong saw Ye An, he kowtowed to him desperately.
"General Ye, General Ye, his subordinates should be damned, his subordinates should be damned."
"yes, you deserve to die, you should have died a long time ago!"
Ye An stared at Wang Hong and spit out these words from between his teeth, what their Ye family hated the most was betrayal.
"Say it! Make it clear that it's good to get on the road. โ
Wang Hong knew that since he had arrived here, he would have no way to live, so he resigned himself to telling the events of the year.
Back then, Ye Wang Ran and his wife led troops out of the city to encircle and suppress the Jin soldiers, and it was he who leaked their location to the Jin soldiers, and then teamed up with the Jin soldiers to annihilate everyone, and then went to Dajin himself.
"Our Ye family treats you well, you were already a deputy general under your father at that time, why do you still do such a thing that loses your conscience?"
"Back then, I raised an outer room, and he gave birth to a son for me, but my son was sent to Dajin by the second prince, and I had to join forces with Dajin."
Wang Hong lay on the ground and spoke slowly.
"Isn't the mother your child? You teamed up with Jin Ren to let your mother die on the battlefield! โ
