Not daring to stop for a moment, the remaining 100 people from Heqin's team ran wildly in the snow in the biting cold wind.
The desire to survive stimulates the potential of the human body, and finally arrives at the gate of Busan at the end of the night.
When the soldiers guarding the gate saw that it was the princess and others, they did not dare to neglect them, so they immediately opened the door and led them in.
Vomiting, crying, laughing, everyone who survived the disaster had mixed feelings in their hearts. But before anyone could get enough breath, they suddenly heard the soldiers watching the sentry exclaim: "Fire and smoke! This is the direction of Feihu Pass!"
"The entire army is on alert!"
"Dudududu..." A heavy horn sound suddenly sounded. Seeing the beacon towers lighting up and smoke billowing into the sky outside the endless Great Wall, the military camps inside the pass were quickly mobilized.
At this time, another fast horse was seen rushing towards the camp, shouting as it ran: "Feihu Pass is calling, give way quickly! Give way quickly!" Jiang Yuntian also wanted to go to the military camp to find out what happened, but Song Che But he grabbed him and said: "Dijon's conspiracy is exposed, and war will definitely start. The border is about to change. We should leave here as soon as possible."
"Where are you going? Back to the capital?" Jiang Yuntian glanced at Zhao Qin and the officials and attendants beside him. Zhao Qin gritted his teeth and said resolutely in front of all the officials: "As a member of the Zhao family, I have done my best to be kind and righteous. Now that the marriage has failed, I will not return to the capital, let alone be a princess. Even in front of Zhao Sui, That's what I said too!" For the Liang Dynasty, the princess was just a victim to avoid war. Now she has lost her role. Dijon has sent troops to invade the border again. Whether she can return to the capital or not, or even whether she lives or dies, it doesn't matter anymore. .
Naturally, the officials would not be as free and easy as Zhao Qin and give up their own glory and wealth. Most of them chose to part ways with the princess. Only Xiaohuan and a few other maids still followed.
"Ha..." Zhao Qin laughed at himself, princess? After taking off the phoenix crown, who will still regard her as a princess?
Song Che and Jiang Yuntian found some horses and carriages in the military camp. As soon as they left the pass, they vaguely learned from the soldiers that Dijon had assembled an army of 300,000 troops on the snowfield and was heading towards Feihu Pass and Feihu Pass in the same direction. Busan Pass and Yuyue Pass are opening.
Jiang Yuntian sat in the carriage, looking out the window at the Great Wall pass that was getting farther and farther away, frowning. Zhao Qin slowly closed the car window and said: "The passes have their own guards, don't even think about it." Jiang Yuntian shook his head and sighed: "Feihu Pass, Busan Pass, Yuyue Pass, plus the Guangxin Army, The total strength of the troops is only about 100,000. Although there is a Great Wall to block it, Dijon is coming with a fierce force this time. I'm afraid..." He shook his head and sighed, then looked at Song Che: "Brother Song, what do you think of this situation?" Song Che spat out softly. Four words: "It's none of my business." If the imperial court had not severed its alliance with the Xiqiang, nothing would have happened now.
He is just a businessman, not a saint. Why should he have to wipe the butt of others every time they make mistakes?
Jiang Yuntian said: "If Dijon breaks through, we will have to face them sooner or later."
"Let's wait until we get to Yangzhou to talk about these things. Last night was so scary that I'm going to sleep." Song Che closed his eyes and stopped talking.
After all, Zhao Qin is still in the car, and there are many topics that the Zhao family cannot listen to. The carriages galloped day and night. Seven days later, we arrived in Beijing.
News of the border war soon spread throughout the streets. The Dijon army attacked the border of Daliang in many places, including the three most important directions. One was to attack Datong and Taiyuan, the other was to attack Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and the third was to attack Hebei and Jingdong from the Bohai Bay. It was known as having a million-strong division. .
There is a phenomenon. Unknowingly, more and more people were moving on the road, all of them from wealthy families.
The rich are more afraid of death. When asked where they want to move, nearly 80% of the answers are: Jiangnan!
If Dijon really breaks through, there will definitely be more people from the north in exile in the south than last year during the Japanese invasion.
After arriving in Beijing, Song Che parted ways with Nangong Yue and others. Before leaving, he told them to rush back to Luoyang and transfer all employees and properties of Hongxing Society and Tianxia Qianzhuang Branch to Hangzhou.
On December 27, Song Che and others arrived in Yangzhou. There are still two days until New Year's Eve, but the flavor of the new year is no longer strong. Even the snow in the south, which has always been gentle, has become much colder and more ruthless.
A time of peace and prosperity means snow heralds a good year. In a world of uncertainty and chaos, there is endless hatred.
"Why can't we find a restaurant, warm a pot of wine, and chat while drinking?" Jiang Yuntian asked, brushing the snow off his shoulders.
Three old friends, standing on the bow of the boat in the snow, were not lovers, and their heads were gray. Song Che said: "The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and I have to rush home for New Year's Eve dinner. So I will explain some things to you here." He pointed to Liao Heng and asked Jiang Yuntian: "Brother Jiang, there are some things I won’t hide anything from you anymore, Brother Liao is the current King Rui, how about we support him as emperor together?”
"Ah? This..." Jiang Yuntian was shocked at first, but after a while he regained his composure, and after some time of contemplation, he frowned and said, "No wonder there are explosives hidden under the coins, and no wonder you left Busan Pass without saying a word. , you want to use Dijon's hand to gain the throne." Song Che said: "All three of us have interests in this matter, I want money, he wants power, and you also want to win the beauty." Jiang Yuntian said: " But you must know that if Dijon enters the border, the consequences will be unimaginable and many, many people will die."
"This is the fate of the Liang Dynasty."
"You should change this fate."
"I am changing this destiny." Song Che said: "If Brother Liao becomes the emperor, he will definitely not value literature over martial arts, and he will definitely not be as stupid and weak as Zhao Sui, let alone reuse the greed of Jia Taishi Selfish sycophant; to take a step back, even if Daliang can resist Dijon's attack this time, what about next year? What about in the future? The Daliang Dynasty will definitely make up for it. Maybe it will negotiate with Dijon again, maybe it will find an alliance with Xiqiang again, maybe After a few days, there will be an imperial edict to recall your beloved princess to the capital, and use her as a marriage tool again to marry a prince of Xiqiang or a tribe of Hu people; you will find that this kind of cowardice It is engraved in the bones of these cowardly kings and sycophant ministers that they would rather give up their dignity, integrity, and money than war; it is not that they love peace, but that they do not want to lose their high and powerful status, and do not want to lose their life of fine clothing and fine food. The common people at the bottom? Those in power can't even look at them, so how can they care about their life and death?" Jiang Yuntian pursed his lips, raised his eyebrows at Liao Heng, and asked: "If you are Prince Rui, Qin'er will Is she your biological sister?" Liao Heng smiled and patted Jiang Yuntian on the shoulder: "Yes, brother-in-law."
"Your calling me brother-in-law made me very happy, so I decided to help you conquer the country."
"Hahaha..." Liao Heng hooked Song Che's shoulder with his left hand and put his right hand on Jiang Yuntian's back. He laughed and said, "The luckiest thing in my life is meeting you in a ruined temple." They all laughed. Well, it’s hard to have a confidant, it’s hard to find a friend, it’s hard to be a brother.
In fact, it is everyone's luck that they can meet each other.
