To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

Chapter 407: Lancheng, Xu State soldiers retreat again and again

Chen Zhao staggered back and fell on the stairs. He looked at Jiusu. She was indeed a stranger, not his sister, but he still didn't know what she meant.

"then who are you?"

Jiusu said: "I am also Jiusu, but I am different from her."

Chen Zhao lowered his head and waited for a long time, accepting the fact. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Where is her body?"

"No." Jiusu couldn't make any connection. Her current body was her own. The original owner's seemed to have left the moment she arrived.

She tried to look for it, but to no avail.

Chen Zhao lowered his head, "If it weren't for you, I would be with her..."

"Chen Zhao." Jiusu interrupted his affectionate words and sneered, "I'm glad that you can think clearly and take the right path, but don't pretend to be affectionate. You married such a good person, would you be interested in Jiusu who is poor and powerless? You would despise her for bringing shame to you. According to your personality, you would divorce her."

Chen Zhao fled in panic.

The night seemed to swallow him up.

Unconsciously, he ran to the Princess's Mansion and lowered his head.

“I want to do good things, too!”

He knocked on the door of the princess's mansion and said a few words to the arrogant gatekeeper, who quickly nodded and bowed to invite him in. He really liked this moment of being respected.

Liang Yu came to Jiang Mansion to report the news.

He clasped his fists and said, "The Crown Prince has asked his subordinates to inform the two adults that they must set out early tomorrow morning, travel light, and the sooner the better."

In the prince's bedroom, a woman's sobbing could be heard.

Xu Qihuai felt the side of his chest wet with tears, and he whispered, "Okay, stop crying, it's not like I won't be able to come back. Besides, isn't it good for your man to go and make achievements?"

Qiu Ying lowered her head to wipe away her tears and complained, "Isn't it what you said, like a last will?"

"Move to the palace tomorrow and live with our mother and wait for me to come back, okay?" Xu Qihuai held her in his arms while they lay on the bed. This was a tender moment between the two of them, but he didn't dare to say it.

In fact, this is the last words.

Before dawn, Xu Qihuai held his son in his arms, played with him for a while, and reluctantly put him in the cradle, admonishing him, "You are a man, you must be brave and strong."

Qiu Ying couldn't help but turn around with red eyes. Why did it sound like a last will?

at this time.

Jiusu invited everyone to the Jiang residence. After they had breakfast, she stood up and served tea to everyone. "I'm really sorry, I'm afraid I can't go back with you."

Qian Junjie waved his hand and smiled indifferently.

"Oh, it's not a big deal. We are all very happy that you are going to the border to make achievements. Master, don't worry, we are all your strong supporters."

The third day of marriage.

It's the day to return home.

Jiusu felt bad. Looking at her mother's growing belly, she said, "You must be extra careful. If you feel bored and want to go out to play, you must bring a hundred or eighty people with you. You can't let others take advantage of you."

She was afraid, she left.

The jackals, tigers and leopards in Shengjing will attack the people she cares about.

"Don't worry about me. I'm really worried about you going to such a far place." Yi Hui held his daughter's hand tightly, feeling sad. "Can you not go?"

Jiusu's cheek was pressed against the back of her hand.

"I have to go."

Yi Hui hugged her and said, "Arrive safely, come back safely, I'll be waiting for you at home, remember to let me know."

We walked in the drizzle, luckily we had a raincoat.

This time they brought an army of 30,000.

Bai Luoxue was already waiting at the city gate. She said seriously, "Jiusu, I want to go too, to fight in Mobei on behalf of my father."

Seeing Jiusu approaching, she clutched the reins guiltily, and kept talking because she was afraid that she would refuse.

"Father fell down, but it's not a big deal. But this is obviously targeting our Bai family, bullying us because we don't have a son. I have to go, Jiusu, don't..."

Jiusu handed her a raincoat and saw that she was curled up and looked very scared.

Huh? Is she that scary?

He chuckled and said, "Put on your raincoat. If you catch a cold, you won't be able to fight."

Bai Luoxue's eyes welled up with tears: "Okay!"

Suddenly, among the marching crowd.

She saw a familiar figure.

"Jiusu, I think I saw Chen Zhao."

Jiusu followed her line of sight and looked back. From afar, it really looked like Chen Zhao. Thinking of what she said to Chen Zhao yesterday, she wondered, could it be that he hated her?

No, if that's the case.

They will come up with a new plan.

"Zhongqin, send someone to keep an eye on his movements."

The further west you go, the less rain there is.

The wind and sand in Mobei are very strong. During the half-month journey, they lost two cities in succession and have retreated to Lancheng. As the deputy general, Gao Jing is under a lot of pressure.

The general was captured. He didn't die, but his head was hanging on his belt.

"I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

A group of people came into the tent and Gao Jing knelt on the ground.

Xu Qihuai said: "Get up and explain the matter clearly first."

Gao Jing refused to stand up. He clasped his fists and lowered his head in guilt. "The guilty general and the king arrived at Mobei City and started a war with the Heavenly Kingdom the next day. During the battle, they had no plan and were attacked from both sides. They were caught off guard. The prince was scared and abandoned the city and fled. The Heavenly Kingdom general was excited and chased for three days. When the prince was still 20 miles away from the next city, he was captured."

His hands drooped and tears kept flowing.

Thinking of my dead brother, I felt more guilty.

"They threatened the prince's life, so we had no choice but to retreat again and again, and finally retreated to Lancheng! Ever since I started fighting with General Bai, I have never fought such a frustrating battle!"

Xu Qihuai asked: "Why don't you persuade him?"

Gao Jing wiped his tears and said, "The general tried to persuade the prince, but he didn't listen."

"What is the current situation of the Heavenly Kingdom?" Xu Qihuai placed his hands on the wooden table and looked at the map. The black marked areas were the lost cities, and his eyes turned cold.

This Xu Cairong is really amazing.

After losing four cities at once, will his father still favor him?

Gao Jing laughed at himself: "The Kingdom of Heaven is no longer hiding anything. They have made public the time of each war. The day after tomorrow, they will attack Lancheng and take the three surrounding cities. We are the lambs to be slaughtered."

Did the State of Xu perish because of Xu Cairong?

He added: "Yi State has already announced that it will wipe out the eastern part of Xu State within a month. Other countries are also eyeing it and want to get a piece of the pie."

Jiang Jing took out the imperial edict and said, "From today on, the position of general of the prince will be replaced by the prince."

Gao Jing and other soldiers knelt on the ground and saluted with their fists clasped. The haze that had been in place for many days was slightly dissipated at this moment. They all looked at the prince expectantly, hoping to win a beautiful turnaround battle.

"I pay my respects to the General!"

Xu Qihuai sat down again and said, "I brought some wine and meat. Tell them to get drunk tonight and fight bravely tomorrow!"

The dinner table.

Gao Jing asked His Highness again how to deploy the troops.

Xu Qihuai said: "Before tomorrow night, I will exchange hostages with the prince."

"Ah?" Gao Jing was stunned, and the wine glass in his hand fell into the dish. He came to his senses, knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Highness, you are a noble man, how can you be a hostage? Let me go!"
