Zi Yuan, Tang Rou and Du Xinyu heard that the Qilin Guards were back. The three girls were very happy and hurriedly came out to see Zhao Xuanyi, but after they came out, they did not see Zhao Xuanyi at all!
And these Qilin Guards are carrying boxes out of the warehouse, and the boxes are full of grenades, arrows, etc.!
Several women were frightened when they saw it. "When did we put so many weapons in our house?" Du Xinyu asked.
Zi Yuan and Tang Rou shook their heads. They didn't know that the grenades in their minds didn't explode even though they had so many thoughts. What a lucky fate!
Shen Wei came to Du Chun's house. Du Chun heard Shen Wei coming and ran out in a hurry. "Oh, my guard Shen, it's great to see you back! Um...?" Du Chun turned to the back. After looking at it, I thought, where is my uncle?
"The Duke is still outside directing the battle. The Duke asked me to ask for your help!"
"You say!"
"We are in very short supply of food and grass at the moment. I hope you can send us food and grass. The more, the better!"
When Du Chun heard this, he immediately nodded, "No problem, I have a grain depot in the capital. It just so happens that you have brought so many people. Let's go now and take all the grain to the battlefield outside the city so that the son-in-law can eat and drink enough. Damn those ambitious bastards!"
"Thank you very much. Please calculate the price when you have time. We will give you all the money later!"
"It's easy to talk, what money is there to talk about at this time? If the enemy attacks, everything will be useless!" Du Chun showed a rare generosity and immediately led all the Qilin Guards to the granary to transport grain and grass!
And seeing the Qilin Guards constantly carrying food, grass and weapons in the city, a figure hiding in the dark slowly disappeared into the street, then hurriedly ran into a courtyard, rushed into the hall, took a pen and paper, and hurriedly wrote some words , and then fold the note!
The shadow was about to get the carrier pigeon when suddenly a cold air hit his neck. The shadow took a deep breath and then slowly turned his head. The person standing behind the shadow was none other than Zhao Xuanyi's eldest brother Zhao Xuanli. !
Zhao Xuanli looked at the woman in black clothes in front of him. Those beautiful eyes were something he would never forget in his life. Zhao Xuanli stretched out his hand to Meng Yingying, "Give it to me!"
Meng Yingying looked at Zhao Xuanli's murderous eyes, with an indifferent smile on her face, "You won't kill me!"
"It depends on the situation. I don't have time to joke with you now! Give it to me!" Zhao Xuanli roared! The steel knife in your hand has cut through Mengyingying's white snowy neck, and blood oozes from it!
Meng Yingying felt that Zhao Xuanli was not joking, so she put the note in Zhao Xuanli's hand. Zhao Xuanli did not look at it, but directly put it in his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it!
"Aren't you from King Furui? Zhao Xuanyi should also be your enemy, right? How about we cooperate? Eradicate Zhao Xuanyi, and then my adoptive father will definitely give you and King Furui a satisfactory answer!"
"It's a good suggestion, but it's a pity that King Furui doesn't like to share this world with others!"
"Then what should we do now? Kill me? Are you willing?" Meng Yingying gave Zhao Xuanli a charming smile!
Zhao Xuanli smiled coldly, "You are thinking too much!" Zhao Xuanli put the sword aside, took out a rope from his waist, and tied Meng Yingying's hands directly behind her.
"Zhao Xuanli! Be gentle! You and I can cooperate. I... wuwu?" Before Meng Yingying could finish speaking, she was blocked by Zhao Xuanli.
Zhao Xuanli came to Meng Yingying, "You'd better stop talking nonsense, otherwise I won't be able to protect you if you say something that shouldn't be said!" After Zhao Xuanli finished speaking, he picked up Meng Yingying and carried her outward. Go!
Just as he walked out of the door, he saw four men jumping out of the yard: "Bold maniac, put my girl down!"
Zhao Xuanli glanced at this group of people coldly, and then smiled lightly!
After a while, Zhao Xuanli opened the door and watched Meng Yingying leave the house. In the yard, four corpses were lying on the ground, with blood slowly flowing on the stone slabs!
In the palace, today is the third day, and everyone is waiting hard. As long as these three days of rituals are over, they can go home, at least have a meal and have a good sleep! Thinking of this, the civil and military officials cried loudly and thought to themselves, that damn monk, when will you finish reciting this sutra?
Nanzhu came to Zhu Yuejun's side, his face full of excitement, "The Protector is back, and he is currently in the position outside the city!"
After Zhu Yuejun heard this, his eyes were full of joy, and he thought to himself that he is finally back. As long as he comes back, I don't have to worry about anything. He will definitely be able to protect the capital!
"very good!"
"The Lord Protector asked Guard Shen to come over and ask, how should we deal with the eldest prince outside the city?"
After Zhu Yuejun heard this, his face became very ugly, "You can only use it, not trust it!"
"Yes! This slave will go and convey it right now!"
"Wait!" Zhu Yuejun looked around, "I'll go there myself and prepare the carriage!"
"Elder Princess, isn't this... bad? The war ahead is very tense right now. If something happens to you, what will you do in the capital?"
"I am right outside Guanghua Gate. If you don't want to leave, let Shen Wei take the message. After nightfall, I will be waiting under the city gate!"
"Yes!" Nan Zhu felt relieved now. Fortunately, the eldest princess is so willful. If she encounters some accident when she goes out, she won't have to live!
Two hours later, all weapons and food had been transported to the front line. Zhao Xuanyi was very happy when he saw Shen Wei coming back, "How is it? Is everything going well?"
"It went very smoothly. A total of two hundred boxes of grenades were shipped, and 30,000 grenades were flying all over the sky. These are what we usually hide. Don't worry about food and grass. Du Yuanwai opened his granary. The food inside is enough for us to use for a month. Yes!" Shen Wei said with a smile.
"Okay, very good! Once we return to our own three-thirds of an acre of land, we don't have to worry about logistical supplies. Where are Zhang Han and Wang Dashan?"
"I have already led all the people in the forging department and the arsenal to make weapons as soon as possible. The eldest princess specially gave Yizhi ten carts of gunpowder!"
Zhao Xuanyi clasped his hands together, "Thank God! As long as you give me a few days and have enough weapons, what the hell is King Yong'an? Brother! By the way, have you asked what I asked you to ask?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
Shen Wei looked around, very cautiously, and then whispered in Zhao Xuanyi's ear, "Only use, not trust!"
When Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he understood what Zhu Yuejun meant: "Okay, I know!"
"By the way, the eldest princess wants to see you. After nightfall today, the emperor's rituals will be over. Then the eldest princess will ask you to meet at the Guanghua Gate!"
Zhao Xuanyi nodded, "After walking for so long, it's time to meet up. Cheng, you should go and take a rest!"
"Young Master, I can still hold on, but you should go and get some sleep. You haven't slept in two days!"
Zhao Xuanyi nodded, and he was almost at his limit at this moment. "Then you will work hard for a while longer. I will go to rest first. If you need anything, call me anytime!"
"Yes!" Shen Wei nodded and said!
Zhao Xuanyi came to Li Hanyan's military tent and saw that Li Hanyan was already sleeping on the bed. Zhao Xuanyi took off his coat, then came to the bedside, pulled back the quilt, and got in!
Just as Zhao Xuanyi lay down, Li Hanyan seemed to have felt Zhao Xuanyi's return. She turned over and hugged Zhao Xuanyi in her arms. Zhao Xuanyi smiled slightly and said nothing. He opened his arms and let Li Hanyan rest on it. The two of them said nothing. Start getting some rest!
At this moment, not only Zhao Xuanyi, but other Qilin Guards also began to rest. All the Qilin Guards had not slept for two days and two nights before they returned from the attack. They were already exhausted. Naturally, everyone did not dare to enter the military camp and lie down on the bed to rest!
Except for all the patrols, all the Qilin Guards were sleeping on the spot. Fortunately, it was almost summer now, and the ground was not so cold. Everyone almost lay down and fell asleep!
Not far away, King Taikang's army was pointing and pointing. Looking at this group of Qilin Guards who looked like stragglers, they couldn't help but shake their heads, "Really? This is the so-called elite of the Ming Dynasty? Look at them? Lying on the ground You can also fall asleep, how can you look like a soldier?"
"Isn't that right? From the soldiers to the officers, everyone is sleeping on the battlefield? If the enemy suddenly launches an attack, they probably won't be able to survive one round!"
"Forget it, forget it, they are famous Qilin Guards. Originally, we wanted to be famous, so let's just wait and see the show! After all these Qilin Guards are dead, we can attack again and kill the enemy!"
A group of soldiers were very dissatisfied with the Qilin Guards, and their words were very sarcastic. They looked down upon these masters who could just find a piece of land to sleep on!
But in Zhu Yunzhi's eyes, he saw something else: "Lan Qing!"
"The maid is here!"
"What did you see?"
"A lot! What are their weapons? I know the bed crossbow, but the maid doesn't know what that big box is. And what is the situation of these people? Are they lying on the ground and falling asleep?"
"I heard they haven't had any rest for two days and two nights!"
"What? Two days and two nights?" Lan Qing asked in surprise.
"What an amazing group of guys. If they were our soldiers, they probably wouldn't be able to sleep until they returned to the military camp. They are a group of people who have never really experienced war!" Zhu Yunzhi said with a disappointed look on his face.
"First Prince, there is something I don't know whether I should say or not!"
"speak!"
"King Taikang asked you to lead soldiers to protect the capital, but... those people in the capital don't seem happy. What are your next steps?"
Zhu Yunzhi turned to look at Lan Qing and smiled helplessly, "Lan Qing, haven't you seen it clearly yet? When did I have the right to choose?"
“But you can’t just go to the fields and farm all the time, right?”
"What? You don't like pastoral joy?"
Lan Qing's face instantly turned pale. "First Prince, I didn't mean that. I just...?"
Zhu Yunzhi turned to look at the sky, "If I could farm and harvest in the fields every day, I would be happy, but! Unfortunately, my status doesn't allow it!"
When Lan Qing heard Zhu Yunzhi's words, she didn't speak anymore and stood quietly aside.
Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was night. At this moment, King Yong'an's army had no intention of attacking. The armies of both sides faced each other. The situation between the enemy and us was not very different at this moment, so no one dared to take the lead!
When Shen Wei saw that it was getting dark, he came to Zhao Xuanyi's account and said softly, "Young Master, Young Master, please wake up!"
When Zhao Xuanyi heard Shen Wei's voice, he immediately opened his eyes and saw that Li Hanyan was still sleeping, so he did not disturb her. He slowly got out of bed, took his coat and put it on. After sleeping for a day, Zhao Xuanyi felt that his body had recovered a lot!
When I came outside the big tent and took a look, I saw stars all over the sky and a bright moon hanging high! Zhao Xuanyi took a deep breath, and the fragrance of mud and grass entered his heart. This made Zhao Xuanyi enjoy it very much. After living in Japan for so long, the taste of his hometown is still the sweetest! !
Shen Wei brought two war horses over and said, "Young Master, let's set off!"
"Sure!" Zhao Xuanyi got on his horse and patted Aoxue's cheek gently, "Did you sleep well? Let's go back to the capital!"
Shen Wei is riding a war horse to guard him. The situation is not optimistic at this moment. Shen Wei can't worry about Zhao Xuanyi running back and forth on his own! !
Along the way, Zhao Xuanyi saw silence on his position. All the Qilin Guards were still sleeping soundly, most of them were lying on the ground, and there were some smart ones who lay directly on the carriage to rest. Zhao Xuanyi thought to himself, thank you for your hard work, the enemy. You haven't come here yet, everyone, please have a good rest!
Chasing the stars and the moon, riding horses in the dark night, Zhao Xuanyi and Shen Wei were galloping on the official road outside the capital. They soon arrived at a distance of several kilometers. From a distance, they saw a unicorn chariot parked under Guanghua Gate! !
Zhao Xuanyi recognized it at a glance. At this moment, there was no one else but Zhu Yuejun who could ride on this unicorn chariot. The two of them had not seen each other for half a year, and Zhao Xuanyi really missed him!
Aoxue seemed to know that her master was anxious. She quickly came to the outside of the Qilin chariot and immediately stopped. Zhao Xuanyi jumped off the horse and saw all the soldiers inside and outside the city gate kneeling down and "See the Lord Protector!!"
Zhao Xuanyi turned to look at these soldiers and smiled slightly, "Thank you for your hard work, brothers, keep on guard!"
"Yes!" All the soldiers stood up and took their positions!
