"Is Yi Xiaodao still awake?" Zhou Ziru asked, standing beside the carriage.
He Yue'er poked her head out: "Not yet, what's the matter with Prime Minister Zhou?"
Zhou Ziru was inexplicably agitated: "Fetch me the old military doctor. I want to ask how to cure this nightmare?"
After a while, the old military doctor was brought to Zhou Ziru.
"I'm asking you now, if you tell a lie, your life will be in danger!" Zhou Ziru's face looked a little scary, which was very rare.
"Yes, yes, I don't dare, I don't dare!" The old military doctor's face turned pale with fear, and he kowtowed like rice.
Zhou Ziru was about to speak when he suddenly paused and thought for a while before asking: "Tell me, what kind of heart-wrenching disease is this? How can he wake up?"
The old military doctor quickly replied: "This... this nightmare, if it is stimulated, it will naturally wake up... I also heard this from my ancestors..."
"How to stimulate him? Pain?"
"The body is just a skin, so stimulating the body is not enough... The nightmare of the heart should stimulate the heart of this adult..."
Zhou Ziru looked at the old military doctor blankly: "What should we do?"
The old military doctor shook his head like a rattle: "I don't know... I really don't know..."
"Okay, you go down." He Yue'er said softly from the side.
The old military doctor did not dare to see Zhou Ziru, so he quickly left with his head in his hands.
He Yue'er glanced at the surrounding soldiers and said softly: "Prime Minister Zhou, please keep these people away."
Zhou Ziru was suddenly startled, knowing that He Yue'er had something to say, and with a wave of his hand, the surrounding soldiers quickly retreated for more than ten feet, leaving only He Yue'er and Zhou Ziru around the carriage.
"Miss Yue'er, what's the matter?"
He Yue'er took out a basin from the carriage and washed it with a towel in order to make it easier to talk to Zhou Ziru.
"I wonder if Prime Minister Zhou knows about Donglu?"
Zhou Ziru was asked suddenly, and he was a little confused: "Donglu...what's the matter? Please ask Miss Yue'er to elaborate."
He Yue'er seemed to think of something, and a blush appeared on her face, but she said openly: "I heard from Yi Xiaoling and others that Xiaodao heard that I was married in Donglu, so he rushed back alone. To Wancheng."
He Yue'er spoke in an understatement, but both of them knew that Yi Xiaodao was almost crazy with anxiety at that time. If it weren't for Si Wangnan's inner strength to suppress his inner demons, who knows what would have happened...
Zhou Ziru said nothing and looked at He Yue'er intently. He vaguely guessed something, but couldn't explain it clearly.
He Yue'er said slowly: "If he hears the news from me, do you think he will wake up?"
Zhou Ziru clenched his fists: "I can also have good news from you!"
“Bad news comes easier than good news.”
Zhou Ziru said: "I don't believe the nonsense of an old pawn. Your Majesty thinks highly of you, Miss Yue'er, so you can't have any trouble with me!"
He Yue'er smiled and said: "Where are you thinking, Prime Minister Zhou? I just want to stimulate him! This guy is lying here comfortably and he still wants me to serve him? Can I bear this anger!"
Zhou Ziru asked: "What does Miss Yue'er mean?"
"I heard that the Great Khan of Beiyi has said that he will not take action against Guicheng. As long as he doesn't take action, what if the Beiyi attack comes in? We are considered to be experts here, can we still make something happen to me? "
"Go on."
"I decided to stay here and guard the city!" He Yue'er said word for word.
Although he had been mentally prepared, Zhou Ziru still rejected it when He Yue'er said it in person: "No, I can't leave you here!"
He Yue'er seemed to have known Zhou Ziru's reaction, and asked: "I'm not useless at all. Has Prime Minister Zhou forgotten that I can imitate other people's voices?"
Zhou Ziru's heart moved. He had indeed forgotten her special ability.
"If I stay here, as long as I don't show up, I can imitate anyone's voice. Zhou Zi must know better than me how much it will boost morale at critical moments. And as long as the Great Khan of Beiyi doesn't take action, Bai Shaoxia, Brother Qin, and Yong Son, it’s hard for me not to leave.”
Zhou Ziru was shaken.
He Yue'er's role is indeed greater than anyone else's at certain times. Because if you just listen to the voice, she could be anyone...
"Then I will leave another hundred thousand soldiers and horses here with Tang Xingchang. Whenever Tang Xingchang orders a retreat, Miss Yue'er, you must obey! As long as you agree to this, you can do whatever you want."
He Yue'er nodded and said: "That's perfect. Doesn't Prime Minister Zhou think that I want to commit suicide?"
Zhou Ziru chuckled and said, "It's not the best."
After the two made an agreement, Zhou Ziru called Tang Xingchang, and the three of them explained the agreement clearly in person.
Finally, Zhou Ziru added: "Tang Xingchang, please remember, if anything happens to Miss Yue'er, the lives of your whole family will be hanged on the guillotine outside the Meridian Gate of the capital."
Tang Xingchang's heart trembled and he did not dare to be careless: "The last general will take the order!"
"Amitabha, this young monk can also contribute his modest efforts to be the messenger to protect the flowers this time." A young bald man stood beside the carriage at some point. At this time, he couldn't help but chanted the Buddha's name, which attracted everyone's attention.
Zhou Ziru was startled: "You...Master Luochen? Why are you here?"
While in the capital, Zhao Yizhi learned of Guan Chenzi's death. In anger, neither Qian Ning nor Liao Chen could stop him.
However, Zhou Ziru also saw Chen's true form at that time and did not treat him as a child.
The young monk Liao Chen smiled: "The young monk has been here for a while. You two were too focused, so it's normal that you didn't see the young monk."
Zhou Ziru said angrily: "Aren't you protecting His Majesty in the capital?"
"Your Majesty's calamity has been eliminated. Isn't it superfluous for the young monk to stay in the capital?" Liao Chen said seriously.
Zhou Ziru looked at Chen seriously: "Is there a disaster here?"
"have."
"All of us?"
Liao Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know. There are too many catastrophes and I can't see clearly. Master can't see clearly either. Master is here, and so am I."
"Oh? The master of knowledge is here too? Where is he?"
"Master came on foot and has not arrived yet."
Zhou Ziru shook his head helplessly, but he also felt somewhat confident. It seemed that there were many righteous people in the world who wanted to stop this catastrophe. In this way, the odds of winning will be even higher.
"Okay, then I leave the safety of Miss Yue'er to Master Chen." Zhou Ziru clasped his hands together and performed a Buddhist salute to Chen.
"It's my duty as a young monk." Liao Chen returned the courtesy.
…
Zhou Ziru led the army and marched slowly and tightly all the way out of the Northland and entered the territory of the Daqi court.
"Is Jincheng ahead?" Zhou Ziru asked.
A general asked the guide and replied: "Prime Minister Zhou, this is Jincheng."
"What a great place... this is it. If we go further, we will be a little closer to the capital."
Zhou Ziru checked the map along the way and found that Jincheng was located on a plain with no mountains and water around it, so it was just the right time for the war to begin.
Half a million soldiers and horses quickly moved into action, digging trenches, standing up horses, and building arrow towers. They were very busy.
In addition, Zhou Ziru gave orders one by one and sent out all the generals and commanders. There were ambushes in important towns such as Lucheng and Shicheng, just waiting for the arrival of the Beiyi army.
Everyone is gearing up, just waiting for a big fight.
Ignoring the busyness of the soldiers, Zhou Ziru looked at the unconscious Yi Xiaodao being carried into Jincheng by the soldiers, feeling a little worried in his heart.
…
Capital City, Imperial Palace.
Zhao Yizhi opened his eyes and woke up from his sleep: "What's going on? Why did Zhou Ziru come back with his troops?"
During this period, Zhao Yizhi didn't know whether it was because he missed Guan Chenzi or because his spiritual consciousness was nearly perfect. He felt groggy and sleepy every day. Moreover, the North Land is so far away that even if Zhao Yizhi could sense it, it would only be very vague.
Now that Zhou Ziru returned with an army of 500,000, Zhao Yizhi immediately noticed the abnormality.
Divine consciousness is like the radio waves of later generations, sweeping through the entire army: "Many people are missing... What happened to Yi Xiaodao? Why are those people around him missing?"
"He Yue'er and Qin Changqian have both disappeared..."
Zhao Yizhi closed his eyes again and continued to explore north with his consciousness. Finally, he discovered the figures of He Yue'er and others in the far north of Daqi's territory.
"He left He Yue'er in Guicheng? What did he mean?"
Zhao Yizhi was a little nervous, Yi Xiaodao was unconscious, and He Yuer was left behind in Guicheng by Zhou Ziru. This was definitely wrong.
Returning to the city, He Yue'er sat in the courtyard of the Beidi King's Mansion, opposite the Beidi King.
"I didn't expect that a literary prime minister and two princes would all flee to the south in a hurry, but a weak woman stayed behind. It's really strange."
"What? The prince seems to look down on me, Mrs. Wu Dinggong?" He Yuer'er said with a sweet smile.
The King of the North Land waved his hands repeatedly: "I have no such intention! No such intention! I'm afraid Madam doesn't know the danger of returning to the city..."
"I just knew that, so I stayed. And... who said that Wu Dinggong was not here?" In the second half of the sentence, He Yue'er changed her tone and became Yi Xiaodao's voice.
The King of the North was startled and stood up in a hurry. It took him a while to react and said with a smile: "It's really strange! I don't know that my wife has such ability?"
"Mr. Wu Dinggong is not here. As a wife, I have to share my husband's worries, right? Does the prince have anything else to say now?"
"Mr. Wu Ding is so lucky!" The King of the North Land sighed with emotion: "Madam, don't worry, I have no evil intentions. Madam's magical skills really make me astonished! Come, I will offer you tea instead of wine. A glass, madam!”
After the two finished drinking tea, a general rushed in from outside the mansion: "Report to the king, King Ding Liao has led an army of 100,000 to the outside of the East City!"
"Oh? Lao Tian is here!" The North King was delighted: "What a help in times of need! Madam, sit down for a moment while I go to greet him."
He Yue'er chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, please do as you please."
After the North King left, He Yue'er fumbled around and took out a pair of tiger-head shoes.
"Knife..." He Yue'er touched her belly and burst into tears...
