The prince is very fierce

At the Ningwu juncture, the war quietly stopped. The corpses on the city walls had been dragged away and piled outside the pass wall. The endless troops and horses were still coming from the north. From time to time, large groups of soldiers and horses entered the pass and merged in. Qi army camp.

The main force of the Qi army has gone to Taiyuan, a hundred miles away, and the rear commander is stationed in Shenchi County.

Shenchi County is a small border county with a population of less than a thousand people. The people who were suddenly affected by the war hid in their houses and shivered from the thunderous sound of horse hooves outside.

However, as Xu Buling said, the Northern Qi army was "reviving the country and returning home." They looted and massacred the city as soon as they entered the pass to boost Dayue's morale. The people in the south would definitely rather die than surrender after learning about it, and they would definitely not I no longer recognize them as the 'old masters of the previous dynasty'.

Not only did he not disturb the people, Jiang Heng, the right prince of the Northern Qi Dynasty, also asked his soldiers to push grain carts to distribute grains from house to house, making a gesture of being close to the people, and then asked civil servants to summon the people to talk about the evil deeds of the "Song family usurping the country".

To say that the Song family usurped the country is not a random fabrication made by the Northern Qi Dynasty to deceive the people. In terms of bloodline inheritance, the Jiang family of the Northern Qi Dynasty is far more orthodox than the Song family. The Emperor of Zhou divided the princes into feudal lords. The Jiang family was enfeoffed in the territory of today's Qingzhou. The country was named "Qi" and he was the first king of the country. For Jiang Ziya, it can be said that the Jiang family has been a member of the aristocratic class since the beginning of historical records. Although it has experienced ups and downs over thousands of years, the bloodline inheritance has been well documented and has never been interrupted from generation to generation. As for the Dayue Song family, they claim to be descendants of the ‘Song Xianggong’, but there is no historical data to support it, and no one can tell whether it is true or false.

The Jiang family of Da Qi established the country in the Central Plains for three hundred years and created an unprecedented prosperous era. The main reason why the country was destroyed before Jiazi was not due to lack of national strength.

Although the last emperor of Da Qi was a bit fatuous at that time, it was not to the extent of causing harm to the country and the people. It was just because of his lack of ability and the power of the warlords in various places that he could not suppress the civil strife. It happened that he ran into Xu, the God of War who had not been seen in hundreds of years. Lie, it can be said that when Da Qi was at its strongest, he was suddenly destroyed.

However, these old stories of adulthood are naturally incomprehensible to the common people who face the loess and back to the sky. It doesn't matter who becomes the emperor anyway, as long as they don't kill people and don't steal food. Seeing that Northern Qi actually gave away food, the people in the small county town The panic slowly subsided.

The town was brightly lit, and many Northern Qi generals and staff were running back and forth on the streets, conveying the war situation and military information in various places.

In a small bean curd shop in the town, the young daughter-in-law, with black ash on her face, was hiding in the kitchen making bean curd. The shopkeeper stood at the door cautiously, keeping a smile and not daring to show any disrespect. Everyone who came and went would call him "jun ye".

The shop is not big, with only four small tables. At the table by the window, a little girl with braids sits quietly, resting her chin on her hand, looking at the market outside, feeling a little depressed.

A man in a white fox fur sat directly opposite. There were several plates in front of him, including steamed cakes, meat buns, candy men, etc., all of which were just found in the county.

"Little Peach Blossom, you were so greedy just now, why didn't you eat it? The sweet-scented osmanthus cake that just came out of the cage will get cold after a while."

Little Taohua pouted and snorted softly: "There were a lot of people killed in the war just now. My mother didn't like fighting the most. Dad didn't come back because he fought with others, and his uncle was also missing. …”

Zuo Qingqiu, who was the Imperial Master of Northern Qi, sighed softly at his young apprentice's words:

"Your father is a martial artist, and master and I are a counselor. It's different."

"What's the difference? It's not all murder. Once a person dies, everything is gone..."

"There is a difference between public and private. The two armies have been fighting against each other for sixty years, and people died every day. It costs a lot of money to raise so many people and horses. The money will eventually be shared equally with the uncles and uncles who farm the land. It is possible to start an army and fight. A generation will die, but if the world is unified, the people's lives will be much easier. Fighting now is so that you don't have to fight in the future. The sin may be in the present, but the merit will be in the future. You will understand in the future. "

Little Taohua couldn't think about the problem from Zuo Qingqiu's point of view. She couldn't understand it, so she just hummed, still feeling a little depressed.

Zuo Qingqiu shook his head and sighed, and did not continue to preach. He picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus pastry, broke off a piece, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it slowly, watching the various things outside with Little Peach Blossom.

Soon, the shopkeeper brought two bowls of bean curd and placed them in front of the two distinguished guests.

Little Taohua liked to eat bean curd very much. She took the small bowl and said politely:

"Thank you, uncle."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Miss, please eat slowly. If you need anything, just tell me..."

The shopkeeper was naturally frightened and nodded quickly.

Little Taohua grew up in the market and didn't like being treated like this. She pursed her lips, picked up the small bowl of bean curds, placed it on the table at the back, and ate by herself with her back to the master.

The master and apprentice were eating in a small shop. From time to time, scouts came flying from the battlefield to pass on military information to Zuo Qingqiu. The offensive was expected, and there was nothing to say. After taking a few glances, Zuo Qingqiu said, He put it aside with him.

Just before the meal was finished, there was a sudden noise on the streets of the small county town. Little Taohua, who was eating tofu pudding, raised her little face and looked out the window, and suddenly she was happy:

"Eldest Brother is back...ah! Why is Eldest Brother vomiting blood?"

Zuo Qingqiu had heard the movement a long time ago and was already on the street.

Zuo Zhan was almost kicked to death by Xu Bu Ling. Zuo Zhan was seriously injured and blood was still oozing from his mouth and nose. Pegasus ran up to Zuo Qingqiu and fell down. Zuo Zhan said urgently:

"Dad, His Royal Highness was kidnapped by Xu Buling..."

Seeing the situation, many generals who rushed over were shocked and a little confused when they heard this.

When they saw Zuo Zhan running back covered in blood, they thought the prince had died in the battle. What does being captured mean?

Could it be that the vanguard army failed to break through and was completely wiped out?

Kidnapped by Xu Buling...

Xu Bu Ling...

My day!

Xiliang Little King of Hell!

Is the Xiliang army coming? !

Many generals had different expressions, and Zuo Qingqiu was also confused. He knew that the Xiliang army could not be in Taiyuan, so he asked:

"With ten thousand vanguard troops, how can you still be allowed to break the formation alone?"

"No, His Highness the Crown Prince has caught up with him. Not only were the people tied up, but the two wind-chasing horses were also snatched away. The vanguard is fine. There are three thousand cavalry left behind to chase..."

Zuo Qingqiu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this:

"I understand. Send the order to continue marching. I will explain the matter to the prince."

Zuo Zhijie looked anxious: "What about His Highness the Crown Prince? If the Crown Prince falls into Dayue's hands, the consequences will be disastrous..."

The right prince of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Jiang Heng, had many sons, but Jiang Kai was the eldest son, and his mother was the legitimate daughter of a prominent family in the Northern Qi Dynasty. Although this is unlikely to stop Northern Qi's restoration of the country, we still have to work hard to preserve it. We cannot treat Jiang Kai as dead.

Zuo Qingqiu thought for a moment: "I'll make the arrangements. You go down to recuperate first."

"Father, be careful, Xu Buling is no ordinary man..."

"You know that he is not an ordinary person, but you still bring the prince to someone else's house?"

"..."

Zuo Zhan opened his mouth, but had nothing to say. He didn't know that Xu Buling was so courageous. There were eldest sons on both sides, and his eldest son was so stupid. What could he do? ——

On the other side, the building boat was docked by the Liujiabao River. Many girls gathered on the deck, making a fuss and discussing how to deal with it.

After Xiao Qi saw the beacon tower being lit, she knew that there was a big flaw in Ningwuguan. She didn't wait for half a quarter of an hour and left directly. She arrived at Liujiabao, which had no strategic value, and waited for Xu Buling to turn back and rendezvous. .

Not long after waiting at Liujiabao, Nightingale ran over with a few girls, but Xu Buling was not there, saying that she had gone to intercept the pursuers.

A boatload of women waited for a long time, but Xu Bu Ling did not come back. They were obviously anxious.

Lu Hongluan was most worried about Xu Bu Ling, her face turned pale and she said nervously:

"Is anything going to happen to your child? What should I do..."

Ning Yuhe was even more worried: "And Qingye, this dead girl, who allowed her to be so strong..."

Xiao Xiang'er received a different family education and knew more about the situation between the two countries. At this time, she was still calm and comforted softly:

"Don't worry. Xu Bu Ling's identity is there. He stretched out his neck and let Bei Qi chop him. Even Bei Qi was reluctant to chop him. At most, he would be caught and his life would not be in danger. Qing Ye is in front of Xu Bu Ling. Xu Bu Ling will take care of her. ”

Xiao Qi knew that Xu Buling would not be in danger, but this was obviously not good news. Being caught by Prince You of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Xu family immediately changed from active to passive, and the follow-up plan could be said to be completely watered down.

But a headache is a headache. Xiao Qi has never been a woman who worries about gains and losses. No matter how difficult the situation she faces, she always thinks about how to break the situation rather than complaining about others.

Xu Buling didn't come back for so long. It was possible that he failed to get rid of his pursuers and was caught by Beiqi.

Xu Bu Ling fell into the hands of the right prince. With his personal combat power, it was not impossible for him to lead Ning Qingye to break out. The most important thing at the moment was that they did not get caught. If they were also caught and threatened with their family members, Xu Bu Ling would have no chance. Even with all his abilities, it would be impossible for him to escape with a boatload of people.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qi said simply: "No wait, let's get out of danger first. We will wait until the exact news comes, and then we can make plans."

The Fen River merges into the Yellow River in Wanrong County on the north side of Fenglingdu. As long as it reaches Fenglingdu, the Northern Qi Dynasty cannot catch up no matter how fast it fights.

Although many women were at a loss, Xiao Qi was the only one who could make a decision at the moment. Everything they said was just causing trouble, so they said nothing more and watched the ship weigh anchor, leave the shores of the Fen River, and go down the river...
