Qin Tianhu naturally knew Hei Wei's intentions. The only way to get rid of Hei Wei's entanglement was to defeat the 800 cavalry as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the opponent started wandering, the team would be entangled and unable to escape.

Just when Qin Tianhu was about to give an order and strike first to gain advantage, a scout suddenly ran to Qin Tianhu and whispered in a low voice.

"Sir, the eight hundred cavalry have separated from our army and retreated for more than a mile."

Hearing this, Qin Tianhu's heart suddenly went cold. It was obvious that Lieutenant Hei had already anticipated his plan and had placed the cavalry at a distance from Qin Tianhu's large force in advance to prevent a sudden attack.

Now it is no longer realistic to want a quick victory, so we can only bite the bullet and force a breakout.

But at this time, with the support of Xiao Xiangxiang and Shufeng, Li Xiaolan came to Qin Tianhu.

Qin Tianhu was shocked and quickly asked the Tianji Camp guards to protect Li Xiaolan. If this girl made any mistakes, how would he explain to Qin Feng?

"Xiaolan, why did you come here? Go back quickly, it's not safe here!"

"You are pregnant now, which is the top priority of the Qin family. You must not take any risks."

"Feng'er has entrusted you to my father, and my father will naturally ensure that you are absolutely considerate."

Seeing Qin Tianhu's extremely nervous look, Li Xiaolan smiled gently and told Qin Tianhu not to worry too much.

After all, she was surrounded by layers of people, like iron barrels. It was as difficult as going to the sky to hurt her.

Li Xiaolan looked at Hei Wei opposite and said softly: "I wonder if your majesty regards me as a Qin family member or a Li family member?"

Faced with the Mingyue Princess in front of him, Hei Wei was speechless. He didn't know how to deal with it. Moreover, Li Xiaolan was already pregnant. If force was used, he would have a miscarriage. Even if His Majesty did not speak now, he would probably be executed in the future. .

Captain Hei hesitated for a moment and could only answer bravely: "Your Majesty, Princess Qi, your Majesty's decree is to bring you all back to the capital. Only Lieutenant Qin is allowed to leave the capital alone."

"If you insist on going your own way and leave by force, my subordinates will be in a dilemma."

"Your Majesty, please take care of your body."

Li Xiaolan still smiled: "If we stay in Kyoto, wouldn't we, mother and son, become hostages in His Majesty's hands in the future?"

this……

Captain Hei was speechless again. Everyone knew the stakes, but no one was willing to point it out.

Now that Li Xiaolan directly broke through this layer of window paper, Hei Wei had no choice but to risk his life and said solemnly: "Everything is subject to His Majesty's imperial edict. Please atone for your sins, Princess."

Li Xiaolan naturally knew that she could not easily shake Hei Wei, but she did not give up and continued to speak slowly.

"The Battle of Beidi has ended, and the Southern Expedition has also come to an end. It's not like you don't know the character of King Qin."

"If we are forced to stay in Kyoto, this will undoubtedly force the King of Qin to send troops to Kyoto. Just after the internal and external troubles have been resolved, His Majesty and the biggest hero in the entire Liang Dynasty meet with each other. How do all the people in the world think about it?"

Lieutenant Hei lowered his head lower. Although he felt a little embarrassed, orders were orders.

"We are also doing things according to orders. The rights and wrongs involved are not allowed to be commented on by my subordinates."

"As long as Her Royal Highness the Princess is willing to return to Kyoto, King Qin will naturally not attack Kyoto again because he is concerned about the princess's body."

"In this way, Daliang can truly usher in peace and prosperity for the country and the people."

Hearing this, Li Xiaolan couldn't help but laugh, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"This kind of national peace and prosperity is only built on the corpses of the Qin family."

"Flying birds use up their good bows, and cunning rabbits die and are cooked by lackeys. Is this the loyalty of your majesty? What a ruthless and unrighteous person who wants to exhaust all his organs."

"I just want to take the Qin family away. If you insist on pestering me, then just step over my body."

After saying that, Li Xiaolan continued to march, escorted by Xiao Xiangxiang, Shufeng, and the Tianji Camp guards.

Although Qin Tianhu was worried about Li Xiaolan's safety, seeing that Li Xiaolan was resolute, he could only let it go.

When Hei Wei saw this, his mood was extremely complicated. After all, this Qin family member in front of him was also the only Mingyue Princess in Daliang. If something went wrong, how should he explain it?

In desperation, Lieutenant Hei could only ride his horse back to the rear to discuss the matter with the general leading the army.

Upon learning that Li Xiaolan had left the carriage and led the team in person, several lieutenants and generals frowned.

They looked at each other, neither chasing nor not chasing.

"This matter... is really difficult to handle."

"The Qin family has worked hard and made great achievements. I don't know how much they have sacrificed for Daliang. The Southern Expedition has not yet completely ended, and they have to do such a stupid thing. Wouldn't it be reviled by the world?"

"How shameless!"

"Shhh, keep your voice down. This is an order from the top. All we have to do is obey the order. Don't make any private judgments, or we may get killed."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Lieutenant Hei gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "Your Majesty's order should be carried out!"

Hearing this, several generals shook their heads to dissuade him.

"If something happens to Princess Mingyue, who can take the responsibility?"

"Your Majesty's order did not mention Princess Mingyue at all. This is obviously your Majesty leaving yourself some room. When something happens to Princess Mingyue, we will all be blamed."

"That makes sense..."

"The best way at the moment is undoubtedly to follow the team forward in a leisurely manner. Princess Mingyue can't walk fast anyway. When the large team of people comes to support, there will naturally be people with high rankings who will decide on this matter. When the sky falls, they will also come with me. It doesn’t matter.”

"That's right, let's do it!"

Lieutenant Hei and other generals were unwilling to attack the Qin family because they were worried about Li Xiaolan's safety. They always stayed a mile away from the team and followed slowly.

If Li Xiaolan returns to the carriage and the team moves faster, they will directly attack the team.

On the contrary, as long as Li Xiaolan is still outside, they will not attack.

Li Xiaolan knew this very well, and she always led the team forward, but after all, she was pregnant and weak. In less than half an hour, she was already out of breath.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiangxiang couldn't help but feel distressed, and repeatedly tried to dissuade her: "Young madam, please go back and rest quickly. If you are exhausted, how can you show your kindness?"

Shufeng also quickly agreed: "The pursuers did not come up, maybe because they were concerned about the dignity of the young lady. The goal has been achieved, young lady, please go back quickly."

Li Xiaolan shook her head, her eyes firm: "This time, my pursuers will definitely attack."

"If you can delay it for a while longer, delay it for a while longer."

"Didn't Jinyiwei say that? Feng'er has already led a team to rush for reinforcements. The longer we hold on, the more opportunities we have to meet Feng'er."
