As the saying goes, a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
But Qi Yu spent more than ten thousand dollars on this night.
When he learned that Damen was being tricked by Huang Fei, he lost his original sleepiness and began to plan his return south all night long.
There are three main reasons why we should leave in a hurry.
The first one is that the Ministry of War's troops have taken over the capital, and it would be redundant for him to stay any longer. Since you are not welcome, why not leave as soon as possible?
The second is that most of winter has passed, and the Spring Festival at the end of the year is just a few months away. If we can hold on tight on the way home, we might be able to spend the New Year with our families.
The third is that I have to rush to attend the funeral ceremony of my mentor Meng Lan as soon as possible. If I delay for too long, I may regret missing it. Therefore, we must find a way to set off as soon as possible.
With the above three things in mind, Qi Yu had no intention of staying any longer.
Things went smoothly, and as soon as he submitted his resignation, he immediately received the little emperor's hearty consent.
Since you agreed, let’s go.
After the decision was made, Qi Yu set off a flying monkey with special significance and assembled the team under the tent.
Many people came to express their farewell after hearing the news.
In addition to relatives and friends like Zhou Chunsheng, Yang Gonglin, Yuwen Hongyuan, Gongyang Yucheng, etc., there were also some unfamiliar colleagues who could not be beaten with eight poles.
Qi Yu had no airs and said goodbye to everyone one by one. Finally, he specially asked Yin Jun to have a private talk.
"You should supervise the affairs in the court more. As long as there are no rebellious and bad policies, the country will not be in chaos. For the person in the harem, you can use more forceful methods and be less humane. Only in this way can there be success Maybe you can suppress her. This is my recent practical experience, you might as well try it."
"Okay, I've written it down!"
Qi Yu nodded and added: "The warship I gave you is now docked on the shore of Dagu Port. Its nickname is 'Zhiyuan Ship'. If you need to use it, you can dispatch it at any time."
"Zhiyuan Ship..." Yin Jun muttered silently and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what the name is, as long as it's not called 'White-faced First Ship'!"
Qi Yu rolled his eyes at him and added: "If you encounter any difficulties, you can send me a message at any time. I, Qiongzhou, will never disobey you. Okay, I will not talk about other nonsense. Please take care of yourself."

Yin Jun said 'hmm' and warned him: "Nanyang is not very peaceful, so you have to take care of yourself. Also, you must remember to be kind to my sister. If she is bullied in any way, see how I deal with you!" "
"Don't worry, I'm leaving!"
"Bon Voyage!"
"..."
Just as he was about to set off, he saw a guard of honor walking over here suddenly.
Looking closely, it is the emperor who has arrived.
Since this time he was escorting the "Tai Shang Huang" southward, he had to show off his filial piety and come to see him off.
Fortunately, Huang Fei's disguise as 'Your Majesty Zongzi' and Sun Qiaoyun's disguise successfully deceived the careless little emperor.
Of course, that includes those who are spying in the dark.
"Qi Shaobao, take care along the way!"
"Your Majesty also values it!"
After bidding farewell to the emperor, Qi Yu immediately waved his hand and ordered the team to set off.
Let’s go! !
In an instant, flags fluttered, Jiji staggered, and a mighty momentum burst out.
At this time, the emperor was most worried.
What if this army suddenly switches sides...
He was overthinking.
The departing Qiongzhou army walked out of the "send off" circle of the imperial army in a very orderly manner and left the city smoothly.
Then, it moved forward at full speed toward the southeast.
Alas, I finally left.
Compared with the emperor's nervousness, the common people seemed much calmer, just watching the fun.
As everyone knows, there is a special figure among the onlookers.
who?
Zhou Chunsheng's abandoned wife Yao.
After she learned that her son Zhou Junmao was going to Nanyang with her cousin Qi, she almost stayed up all night. She has been waiting here for three hours since the rooster crow.
In fact, she didn't have any special desires, she just wanted to take a look at her son from a distance.
A mother’s worries when her son travels thousands of miles are the same for anyone.
While wiping her tears, she murmured regretfully: "When scholars talk about regret, they probably refer to people like me..."
However, the bitter fruit has already been achieved, so what's the use of regret?
Also spying on the Yao family was the Empress Dowager Su.

Minions - Wang Zhifan.
After observing all the movements of Qiong Jun, he was immediately shocked.
wrong!
Very wrong!
The Qiongzhou Prefectural Army originally had 5,000 troops. After excluding the hundreds who died in battle, there should be more than 4,000 left.
But now, according to visual inspection, there are only two thousand people outcropping. Where have the other two thousand gone?
Could it have evaporated like water?
Absolutely impossible!
What's more, this wave of Qiong troops were recruited from Dawan Prefecture. At that time, in order to march quickly, they all took warships to go north by sea, and then landed at Dagu Port, and then took the land route to the capital. .
If we take this as a guide, their return route should be to go to Taku first, and then return on the same battleship they came from. This is only reasonable.
However, at the moment, Qiong's army's marching route has seriously deviated.
If they returned to Dagu Port, they would have to head northeast, but in fact, they were heading southeast. You say, wouldn’t this be the opposite?
Based on the above, Qiong Jun's behavior is obviously weird, and there is 80% chance that there is some unknown trick hidden in it.
Well, we must report it to the Empress Dowager as soon as possible in order to make a decision.
…
Speaking of Qi Yu and his party, they suddenly stopped thirty miles after leaving the city.
At this time, I make meals too early and rest too late, which feels very out of rhythm.
"Father, why did you stop suddenly?"
"Yes, husband, why don't you leave?"
Qi Yu stroked his beard and smiled, and said mysteriously: "There is a saying in "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu: Soldiers are also tricky. The imaginary is real, and the real is imaginary. Now I want to make a tactic of imaginary and real, so I stopped to make some arrangements. , to confuse the peepers in the dark.”
Are there peepers?
who?
Upon hearing this, Yin Tao immediately became nervous; but Qi Xiao looked confused, as if in a cloud.
Fearing that his concubine would be frightened, Qi Yu quickly comforted him and said, "Don't be afraid, Tao'er, I'm here!"
After that, he further explained: "Actually, everything is under my control. Even if she tries all her means, she can't achieve her goal."
Yin Tao was startled after hearing this, and thought to herself: Who is she or him that her husband is referring to?
I do not know.
