"You're still going to kill him?" asked Ji Li.

"Of course, either he dies or I die. Mo Qing said.

"You've scared the snake this time, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult in the future. Zhuo Yi said.

"No matter how difficult it is? I'm not afraid of death, I'm still afraid of being difficult? The worst outcome is just death, and I happened to go to see Yingying, I guess she was impatient to wait, maybe I should have gone to see her earlier. Mo Qing said.

Ji Li was moved by Mo Qing's infatuation, and secretly thought: "I don't know when I can meet someone who loves me so much?" She secretly glanced at Zhuo Yi, then shook her head again, and said secretly: "It's a pity that he already has someone in his heart." ”

After resting for one night, Zhuo Yi gave his horse to Mo Qing on the second day.

Mo Qing looked at Zhuo Yi and Ji Li and said, "Thank you for your kindness, if you can use me for anything in the future, just go to Fengyu Tower and report your name, and I will come to see you." ”

Zhuo Yi smiled and said, "Then let's say okay, don't do anything before you die." ”

Mo Qing said: "Then you have something to do as soon as possible, don't wait for me to die before going, then you can't complain that I don't keep my promise and leave." ”

Mo Qing finished speaking and left.

Ji Li looked at Zhuo Yi and asked a little embarrassedly, "You gave him the horse, so what should you do?"

"Isn't there another one?" Zhuo Yi said, pointing to the only one.

"But it's mine. Ji Li said.

"I'm not too heavy, it should be able to carry the two of us, let's go together. Zhuo Yi said.

Ji Li's cheeks turned red instantly, and she muttered something. However, Zhuo Yi didn't hear clearly, got on the horse alone, looked at Ji Li and said, "You can't get up?"

Ji Li hesitated for a moment, but still sat down. However, she smelled the smell of Zhuo Yi's body and felt very quiet in her heart, and she was a little happy.

Zhuo Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, I'll buy another one in the city ahead." ”

When Ji Li heard this, he felt inexplicably lost in his heart.

Zhuo Yi took Ji Li to the nearest city quickly, bought a horse and continued to Yanjing.

Nothing happened along the way, and the two arrived in Yanjing without incident. The two dismounted and entered Yanjing.

Soon after entering Yanjing, several sons in gorgeous brocade robes came to meet them, and the leader saw Ji Li at a glance, and immediately ran over, looked at Ji Li and asked excitedly and anxiously: "Princess, where have you been during this time?"

Ji Li asked without a good face: "I'm going to report to you when I go to get it?"

"No, I'm just worried about the princess. The man said anxiously.

"You're worried about me, you're worried about your own future, right?" Ji Li sarcastically said.

"Princess, I am infatuated with you, and the sky can see it. The man said urgently.

Ji Li rolled his eyes, turned his head to look at Zhuo Yi and said, "Brother Zhuo, let's go." ”

After Ji Li finished speaking, he pulled Zhuo Yi away, and this scene made the boy see it, his eyes instantly filled with anger, and his face changed.

Several other sons deliberately said these fanning words on the side.

One of them said: "Oh, no wonder Brother Lin is infatuated with no results, it turns out that the princess has already intended someone." Hey, it's a pity. ”

Another said, "yes, I just don't know where they have got." ”

"Shut up. The son, who was called Brother Lin, distorted his whole face with anger.

Zhuo Yi was pulled by Ji Li, turned his head to look at the son, and said secretly: "I'm afraid trouble is coming again." But he didn't mind too much, but asked with some curiosity, "Who is that person?"

Ji Li said: "His father is the prime minister, and my father intends to marry me to him. Ji Li said and became depressed.

Zhuo Yi shook his head and said, "How are the others?"

Ji Li said: "It's a gentleman." ”

Zhuo Yi smiled: "I am also a gentleman, a gentleman is not necessarily bad, as long as he is really good to you, it will be good." ”

Ji Li stopped talking and led the way in front.

Not long after, a group of people came towards Ji Li, led by a middle-aged eunuch. He ran towards Ji Li, his face wrinkled together, his face was sad, and he said in an extremely sharp voice: "Princess, where have you been all this time? You are asking for the life of a slave." ”

Ji Li looked at the eunuch with some embarrassment and said, "Father-in-law Liu, I'm sorry to worry you." Father, the mother didn't punish you, did she?"

When Gonggong Liu heard the princess say this, his sadness dispersed a little, and he said: "It's nothing to be punished, but if the princess has something, then how can it be good, and the slave will be to blame even if he dies." Your Majesty and the concubine are in a hurry, so follow me into the palace. ”

Ji Li hurriedly said: "Not now, it was Brother Zhuo who sent me back, and I haven't thanked anyone yet?"

Gonggong Liu looked at Zhuo Yi at this time, and found that it was a young man, so he said, "Oh, thank you Gongzi for escorting the princess back to Beijing." I wonder where Childe is from?"

Zhuo Yi said: "I..." ”

"Brother Zhuo is from Luzhou. Ji Li said hurriedly.

Zhuo Yi glanced at Ji Li and did not refute.

"Oh, I don't sound like the accent, I don't know what I do at home?" said Grandpa Liu.

"It's the poor people. Zhuo Yi saw that Gonggong Liu was actually interrogating her, so he said casually.

Father-in-law Liu looked at Zhuo Yi and nodded, then turned his head and said to the little father-in-law behind him, "Look at the reward." ”

The little duke took out a money bag from his body and handed it to Gonggong Liu, seeing that the amount should be seventy or eighty taels.

Zhuo Yi looked at Gonggong Liu with a strange expression when he arrived.

When Ji Li heard Gonggong Liu's words, he said anxiously: "Gonggong Liu, what are you doing?"

Gonggong Liu said: "Princess, you don't know, ordinary people like this will give them too many rewards and disasters to come and go." He gave you seventy or eighty taels for a game, and it was worth it. ”

Ji Li was anxious for fear that Zhuo Yi would be angry, and shouted: "Brother Zhuo is not such a person? ”

Zhuo Yi stretched out his hand to take the money, and said with a smile: "See, watch, okay, now that the money is in hand, you are also home, I will leave first." ”

Ji Li looked at the money bag in Zhuo Yi's hand and said, "Brother Zhuo, don't be angry. ”

Zhuo Yi smiled and said: "I'm not angry, this is the reward you gave, it's okay, you go back quickly." ”

Zhuo Yi laughed and left.

Ji Li wanted to pull, but he was empty.

Gonggong Liu nodded and said, "He is a young man who knows the times." Princess, he sent you back just for a sum of money. Now that she has taken the money and left, the princess should not care too much. ”

Ji Li looked at Zhuo Yi's departing back and didn't move for a long time, she knew that this might be the last time she saw Zhuo Yi. When Zhuo Yi disappeared around the corner, she turned around and walked towards the palace with a depressed expression.

Zhuo Yi took the money and rested in Yanjing's restaurant for a day, and left the next day.

Zhuo Yi was surrounded by more than a dozen people soon after he left Yanjing, and the person who was the leader was that Lin Gongzi.

Zhuo Yi looked at Lin Gongzi and said, "Why did this Gongzi block my way?"

Lin Gongzi looked at Zhuo Yi with a smile on his face, and said with a look of victory: "Why did I stop you, don't you know?"

Zhuo Yi pretended to think about it, shook his head and said, "I really don't know." ”

"Think about it, think about it. Lin Gongzi looked at Zhuo Yi and said.

Zhuo Yi thought for a while, pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said, "Are you here to send me money?"

"Send money?" Lin Gongzi stared at Zhuo Yi angrily.

"Yes, I sent the princess back. I can see that you like the princess very much, aren't you here to repay me for sending the princess back?" asked Zhuo Yi.

Lin Gongzi was a little angry when he heard Zhuo Yi say this, and asked suspiciously, "What is your relationship with the princess?"

Zhuo Yi's eyes opened and said, "I'm just a common person, what can I do with the princess." I just met the princess on the road, and the princess asked me to send her back to Yanjing when she saw that I knew some martial arts, saying that there would be a heavy reward after I arrived, so I came. ”

Zhuo Yi frowned when he said this, showing his dissatisfaction, and said: "I said that there was a heavy reward, but it turned out that Gonggong Liu only gave me a small bag of silver, which was only forty or fifty taels, and it cost me a few taels for one night yesterday." The princess had said that His Majesty intended to marry her to the son of a prime minister, and that she wanted to test the man, so she ran away from home, but the man did not go to her, and it seemed that the man did not like her at all. Oh, by the way, you seemed to like the princess very much yesterday, and you came to give her a bounty?"

"What are you talking about, nonsense, how could I not like her. I searched everywhere and couldn't find it. No wonder she was so angry yesterday, it turned out that I didn't go to her. Lin Gongzi said.

Zhuo Yi pretended to look at Lin Gongzi expectantly.

Lin Gongzi was in a good mood after hearing Zhuo Yi's words, and he had already dispelled the idea of dealing with Zhuo Yi, and said, "Yes, I'm here to reward you." Come, bring all the money. ”

Lin Gongzi took out all the silver under his hand, and took out a money bag from himself, which together amounted to about two hundred taels. He threw the money bag to Zhuo Yi and said, "Well, this is a reward for you." ”

Zhuo Yi took the money bag, looked at Lin Gongzi happily, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Gongzi." ”

Lin Gongzi waved his hand and signaled to retreat. He couldn't wait to see the princess.

Zhuo Yi saw that Lin Gongzi was gone, shook his head with a smile, and drove his horse away quickly. As for the story of Ji Li and this Lin Gongzi, he naturally did not participate in it.

Zhuo Yi was much faster alone, and it only took a few days to return to Zhao State. As soon as he came back, he heard the news that Zhao Guo was in chaos. Suddenly, a man named Fang Hong led a peasant uprising to the west of Zhao. Emperor Zhao was furious and ordered the Tiger general Zhuo Quan to lead his army to rehabilitate, and now the official army was engaged with this rebel army in a plain in the southwest. The rebels numbered 250,000 people, while the officers and troops had less than 150,000.

Zhuo Yi was a little worried about his father's safety, so he went to the battlefield. Before he arrived at the battlefield, he encountered a bloodied officer and army communications soldier. He stepped forward and grabbed the communications soldier and asked about the situation.

It turned out that this was a signal soldier asking for help, although the Fang Hong rebels were numerous, they were all civilians, plus there were no weapons, and the combat effectiveness was actually very weak. But Fang Hong is a very talented person, on the one hand, he dragged Zhuo Quan and did not engage him head-on, but only engaged in small-scale sneak attacks to consume Zhuo Quan's troops.

But just a few days ago, Chen Jin's rebels, who had never known where they were, suddenly appeared and attacked Zhuo Quan's officers and troops from the rear together with Fang Hong's rebels. The total number of rebels on the two routes combined was about 450,000, and they only besieged the officers and troops and fought a small war of attrition, which kept the officers and soldiers in a state of exhaustion for many days, causing panic among the officers and soldiers, and soon some officers and men began to flee.

The rebels didn't pay much attention to the fleeing officers and soldiers, and let them run away. In this way, the officers and soldiers saw hope, and many officers and soldiers began to flee. Although Zhuo Quan killed a few people, he still couldn't stop the officers and soldiers from escaping, and in the end he could only let it go.

This signal soldier asked for help from the nearest Tongcheng, which still had 80,000 troops. He is already the fifth signal soldier to call for help.

As soon as Zhuo Yi heard this, he became anxious, let go of the communication soldier, and rushed towards the battlefield. He didn't have a big goal alone, and coupled with his speed, no rebel army could stop him, allowing him to enter the encirclement directly. Zhuo Yi soon found the official army, he rushed in and found his father Zhuo Quan in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Zhuo Quan looked at Zhuo Yi who suddenly appeared and was slightly taken aback, and said, "What are you doing here? ”

Zhuo Yi looked at his father and said, "Dad, I'll take you away." ”

Zhuo Quan shook his head and said, "There are still so many soldiers here, how can I leave." You go quickly, you are not needed here, go back and take care of your mother. ”

Zhuo Yi didn't leave, but looked at his father and asked, "Is there no other way?"

Zhuo Quan said: "I tried, every time I attacked, they resisted desperately, and they have been blocked back several times." Now there are only more than 80,000 soldiers left, and the rest have either run away or joined the rebels. Most of the soldiers were demoralized, and there was not much food and grass, so there were not many opportunities. ”

"How long is there enough food and grass? Zhuo Yi asked.

"For seven days, you have to save food, you can only eat two meals, and you will be half full. Zhuo Quan said.

"In that case, why don't you rush out desperately while there is still food?" asked Zhuo Yi.

Zhuo Quan sighed and said: "Liu Bo refuses, His Majesty has appointed him as a prisoner, and all my decisions must be approved by him." He had always pinned his hopes on reinforcements from Tongcheng, and refused to make a decision until the last step. ”

"It can't go on like this, the army in Tongcheng has no intention of coming to the rescue at all, and there is only a dead end if you wait. Dad, now there is only one way, rush. At this time, there should be a decision. Zhuo Yi looked at Zhuo Quan and said.

Zhuo Quan frowned, nodded and said, "Oh? Tongcheng really didn't send reinforcements?"

Zhuo Yi nodded and said, "Tongcheng didn't send a single soldier, and now we can only rely on ourselves." ”

"Yes, General. ”

Two generals suddenly came in from outside, both battle-hardened generals, both of whom looked a little haggard and had full beards.

One of them said: "We can no longer be restrained by the Liujian army, and we can no longer afford to drag it out. ”
