Qi Yuning's birthday is the second day of August, and it is almost here in a blink of an eye.

Lu Ze asked Qi Yuning with sideways eyes: "I'm afraid that this year's birthday is going to wronged you, and I can't set up a banquet to celebrate with a group of young ladies." ”

Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "I didn't have a banquet to celebrate my birthday. ”

Lu Ze really didn't notice that Qi Yuning had never held a big birthday, he only remembered his mother, his four younger sisters in the family, and Lin Jiang's sisters, Qin Feng's sisters held every birthday very grandly.

He thought that Qi Yuning would also have a big birthday, and it would be lively.

Qi Yuning said: "What about me, my confidant friend is Song Heqing alone, every time I celebrate my birthday, that is, I follow He Qing to walk around in Shengjing City, after Song Taifu left, I haven't had a birthday with He Qing for three years, that is, Lichun is stunned that they will prepare an extra bowl of longevity noodles for me, and it is not like Lu Baozhu's birthday, which has to be known to the whole city, and it is lively." ”

Lu Ze stretched out his hand and stroked Qi Yuning's face, "When the overall situation is decided next year, you can also have a lively time." ”

Qi Yuning said: "I thought that this year's birthday could be spent by Lingling with me, but it's a pity." ”

Lu Ze said: "Lingling can't accompany you, but Lingling's father can." ”

Qi Yuning smiled lightly.

The terrain of Chang'an City was not easy to attack, and after having the military rations transported from Beicheng, Qi Yu'an dispatched nearly 100,000 troops, wanting to make a move.

On the night of the first day of August, Chang'an City was full of fires.

Qi Yuning was on the mountain on the outskirts of Chang'an, looking at the arrows and feathers coated with flames, the sound of the heavily armed fighting below was deafening, and the torches held by the soldiers illuminated the night sky.

Lu Ze stood beside Qi Yuning and said, "This battle is really difficult. ”

A spy in armor walked up to Qi Yuning and said: "County Lord, General Zhong Ming was injured and fell off his horse, Vice General Li has been sacrificed, there is no general at the south city gate, and now it is the two sisters of the Lu family who are leading the troops." ”

Qi Yuning said: "How can the two of them do it? ”

The spy said again: "There are not many troops deployed in the southern city, and the prince put the main army in the north gate and the west city gate, but I didn't expect this Qin Zhen to deploy 50,000 troops in the south city......"

"The north gate and the west gate have also reached the time of anxiety, and I am afraid that I will not be able to draw troops and horses to support."

Lu Ze frowned lightly when he heard the spies of the Qi family army come to report on the military situation.

Originally, the South City Gate was to be able to contain the Qin family's troops, but he never thought that Qin Zhen would deploy nearly 50,000 troops at the South City Gate, and Zhong Ming would lead less than 10,000 troops.

Qi Yuning said: "There are indeed no generals on the north and west gates who can be transferred over to support, and the south gate has to be supported...... Just wait for the siege to enter. ”

Lu Ze said: "How many soldiers are there in the barracks today?" ”

Qi Yuning said: "There are more than 10,000 left." ”

Lu Ze said: "I will bring 5,000 soldiers and horses to support the South City Gate. ”

Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze worriedly, "Are you really going?" ”

Lu Ze said: "My two younger sisters are still on the battlefield, how can I survive in secret? The North Gate and the West Gate were scorching, and I was the only one who went. ”

Qi Yuning stepped forward and hooked Lu Ze's neck with his arm, and raised his head to kiss Lu Ze's thin lips.

"Let's go, I'll wait for you to come back and spend my birthday with me."

Lu Ze said: "Okay, I will definitely come back to spend your birthday with you." ”

After Qi Yuning saw Lu Ze leaving, she also returned to the barracks and went to visit Zhong Ming.

Zhong Ming just arrived in the medicine shed, the armor was full of arrow feathers, fortunately, the armor blocked the arrow feathers, but there was an arrow feather straight into Zhong Ming's wrist, dripping with blood, and there was a strip of cloth tied in front of the wrist, which was shocking to watch.

Zhong Ming still injured his right hand.

The doctor in the army came over to look at Zhong Ming's wrist, and said, "General Zhong, when I drew my sword, you endured a little pain." ”

Qi Yuning said: "What about the hemp boiling? Boiled with hemp! ”

Zhong Ming said: "The hemp boiling is precious, just pull it out, I can bear it." ”

Qi Yuning saw that when the sword with a barb was pulled out, there was still bright red flesh hanging on it, and it was very painful to look at.

Zhong Ming exclaimed in surprise, trembling in pain, and the military doctor company applied hemostatic medicine to the injured wrist, fixed it with a strip of wooden cloth and said: "This hand must be well maintained, I am afraid that I will not be able to lift heavy objects in the future." ”

Qi Yuning saw the military doctor go out to stay up late, so he asked, "Doctor, Zhong Ming's hand ......?"

The military doctor sighed and said, "If his hand can still hold chopsticks in the future, he will already be blessed by the Bodhisattva." ”

Qi Yuning thought that Zhong Ming, who was talented and liked piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, would never be able to pick up a pen to paint in the future, so he sighed lightly.

On this night, there was no shortage of soldiers in the medicine shed.

Qi Yuning and a few maids were all acting as helpers in the medicine shed, stitching, loading wooden boards, pulling arrows, boiling medicine, and working until dawn.

After daybreak, the wounded soldiers became more and more numerous, coming in batches, and there was no time to rest at all.

Lichun and Jingzhen took dry food, Qi Yuning hurriedly took a bite and asked, "How is the situation outside?" ”

"The West City Gate has been broken, and our soldiers and horses have entered Chang'an City!"

Qi Yuning was a little relieved to hear the news, but he also felt panicked for Lu Ze.

Qi Yuning couldn't leave this place and go to Nancheng, she also knew that it would be useless for her to go to the Nancheng Gate, so she had to wait here for Lu Ze to return.

On the second day of the first month of August, it was spent in a busy and bloody day.

Qi Yuning was really tired, she returned to the military tent to rest for a while, she ate the longevity noodles made for her by Lichun, and every bite she ate had no taste.

On the third day of the eighth month, there were fewer and fewer soldiers of the Qi family army sent to the medicine shed, but more and more Qin soldiers surrendered.

They are all Dasheng people, some of these soldiers are soldiers who have been forcibly conscripted into the Qin family's army, Qi Yuning is not good at seeing that they are injured and cannot be treated, and when he learned that the medicine was enough, he also divided the medicine to treat these soldiers.

After another busy day and night, on the morning of the fourth day of the eighth month, Qi Yuning saw from afar that the banner of the Qi family army had been hung on the wall of Chang'an City.

Qi Yuning looked at the bright banner of the Qi family army in the distance, and his heart was full of anticipation.

She saw a horse coming from afar, and when she saw the man on it, she galloped over.

After landing Lu Ze and stopping the horse, Qi Yuning took the horse rope and turned over on the horse, and when he saw Lu Ze, whose peach blossom eyes were red in front of him, he reached out and hugged his cold armor, which was still full of blood.

Lu Ze also stretched out his hand to hold Qi Yuning in his arms, looked down at Qi Yuning's face and said, "I'm sorry, I broke my promise and couldn't accompany you on your nineteenth birthday." ”

Qi Yuning smiled slightly and said, "In the future, you will accompany me every year to celebrate my birthday." ”

Qi Yuning hugged Lu Ze tightly and said: "This road is dirty, you take me to the county lord's mansion in Chang'an City, I want to take a good bath and rest." ”

Lu Ze looked down at Qi Yuning's clothes that were also full of blood, she used to be a very clean girl, and chuckled: "Okay, let's go to the county lord's mansion." ”

The county lord's mansion in Chang'an City was built after Qi Yuning was named the county lord, and it should have been built for ten years, and Qi Yuning sometimes came to live for a while in spring and autumn.

In the county lord's mansion, nothing has changed, this is the place where the nobles of the family are entrenched, even Qin Zhen does not dare to enter here rashly.

Back in the room, Qi Yuning asked the maid to quickly prepare hot water for bathing and wash the dirt all over her body.

Conquering Chang'an means that Shengjing is in sight, and after leaving Shengjing City for more than four months, she can finally return to Shengjing and her Qiwang Mansion.

After Qi Yuning finished bathing, after returning to the room, she let the maid wipe her long hair like a waterfall.

Seeing that Lu Ze changed into clean clothes and entered the house, he did not wear a wig on his head, and the hair that had just grown out was already an inch high, so the broken hair made Lu Ze more and more handsome and heroic.

Lu Ze stepped forward to take the handkerchief from the maid's hand, and instructed the maid: "You all go out, close the courtyard door, and no one is allowed to come and disturb." ”

When the maid went out, she closed the door.

Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze from the bronze mirror and wiped her long hair, her heart was beating fast, she simply got up and hugged Lu Ze tightly.

"I've been worried about you these days!"

Lu Ze hugged Qi Yuning tightly and said, "I'm also afraid that I won't be able to come back to see you." ”

Qi Yuning's head was tightly pressed into Lu Ze's arms, feeling his powerful heartbeat, until this moment, she knew everything in the world, and nothing was more important than being safe and healthy in the arms of her beloved. (End of chapter)
