Su Rong nodded, she knew that Cui Xingzhi once had the Qinghe Cui family's files in the dark cubicle of the East Palace Prince, which focused on Cui Gong, the patriarch of the Qinghe Cui family, and Cui Xingzhi, his most valued grandson.
Unexpectedly, Cui Gong would actually send Cui Xingzhi to Nanchu.
Cui Xingzhi and his men quickly delayed the retreat of the siege cannons. Thousands of people entangled the guards guarding the siege cannons. Then Cui Xingzhi raised his sword and destroyed the two siege cannons.
Cui Yanjin belatedly shouted, "Oh, cousin, why are you destroying them? I want it!"
Cui Xingzhi paused, turned around, glanced at Cui Yanjin, and immediately ordered, "Take these two cannons back."
Following his order, the guards beside him pushed the siege cannon and left.
Prince Yuan Zhao of the Wei Dynasty shouted angrily, "Stop them, destroy the siege cannons, and prevent them from taking them away."
There was no way he would let the siege cannon fall into Su Rong's hands.
Following Yuan Zhao's order, the siege cannon was held back again, and then the two parties started fighting with the two siege cannons. The people of the Wei Dynasty were most familiar with the principles of siege cannons. During the fight, some mechanism was triggered, and the two siege cannons exploded instantly.
Seeing that the two siege guns were completely destroyed, Cui Xingzhi had no choice but to give up.
Su Rong weakly ordered, "Let your cousin withdraw!"
"Cousin, my cousin said, withdraw!" Cui Yanjin shouted.
Cui Xingzhi nodded, led his men to retreat, came to Su Rong's side, motioned for the men to carry Su Rong, and then picked up Xie Yuan, Fengling and others who had fallen down, and the group retreated to Heiya Pass.
Yuan Zhao did not order anyone to pursue them. These people were all experts. If they pursued and entangled them, they might not be able to get a good result today. He could only order people with a dark face, "Retreat! Retreat your troops!"
The two parties retreated at the same time, and the gates of Heiyaguan were wide open. This time, the soldiers of Nanchu had ample time to take away their own people who were dead or injured on the battlefield.
Zhou Gu stood at the gate of the city and saw Su Rong being carried back. He stared at Su Rong, "Su Rong, how dare you!"
Su Rong looked at him helplessly. She knew that Zhou Gu would go crazy, but there was no other way at that time. It would be worthless for him to die with her. She couldn't leave, but he could leave and survive. Is a. At the very least, there is always someone who can avenge her.
Cui Yanjin looked at Zhou Gu fearfully, but still whispered: "Cousin, you are so scary. My cousin will be frightened by you and not like you."
Zhou Gu looked away and glared at Cui Yanjin.
Cui Yanjin suddenly got excited, hid behind Cui Xingzhi, and pulled Cui Xingzhi's sleeve, "Cousin, cousin, cousin is so fierce."
Cui Xingzhi coughed lightly and turned to Zhou Gu, "Cousin, the first priority is to ask a doctor to check on the injury quickly. My cousin is seriously injured."
Zhou Gu said with a sullen face, "Doctor Zhang!"
Doctor Zhang rushed out from behind, "I'm here, I'm here."
Zhou Gu pointed at Su Rong, as if he didn't want to talk to her anymore.
Doctor Zhang understood and quickly ordered, "Quickly, send the princess back to the house quickly."
The group of people hurried to the house, but Su Rong fainted before they had gone far.
Zhou Gu's fever subsided, but he managed to hold on for a breath without fainting. He stood there, filled with depression and anger, but he couldn't let it out, so he saw that no one dared to come close.
"Cousin, your injury must be treated quickly." Cui Xingzhi reminded Zhou Guye when he saw that he was covered in blood.
Zhou Gu nodded and did not ask why he came suddenly with his people. The fact that he appeared in Nanchu must have been approved by his grandfather. He said to him: "You came at the right time. From now on, Heiya Pass will be closed." Arrange your defense."
Cui Xingzhi suddenly felt a lot of pressure, "Cousin, this..."
"There is no one else left. The generals were all seriously injured." Zhou Gu said.
Cui Xingzhi was silent and nodded, "Okay, cousin, don't worry."
He told Cui Yanjin, "Yan Jin, you send your cousin back home to seek treatment from a doctor. I will lead people to handle post-war matters and set up defenses."
"Okay." Cui Yanjin came out from behind him and whispered to the sullen Zhou Gu, "Well, cousin, let's go, let's go!"
Zhou Gu nodded.
Cui Yanjin quickly asked someone to help Zhou Gu onto the carriage, and then jumped aboard himself.
After getting on the carriage, Zhou Gu sat leaning against the wall. Cui Yanjin saw blood dripping from many places on his body. He told the coachman, "Hurry up, hurry up."
The driver quickly waved his whip again and sped up.
Cui Yanjin bravely asked Zhou Gu, "Cousin, are you, are you okay?"
Zhou Gu looked at him, "Are you stuttering?"
"No, no."
"Then please speak up."
Cui Yanjin immediately sat up straight and said dissatisfied: "Aren't you too fierce? How did you make your cousin like you and choose you as the prince's wife instead of Young Master Ye of Nanchu Ye Prime Minister's Mansion? of?"
He looked at Zhou Gu with suspicion, wondering if his cousin-in-law liked this?
Zhou Gu was originally angry, but now he laughed out of anger. He didn't bother to tell him the reason and asked him, "Let me ask you, why are you and Xingzhi here?"
Speaking of this, Cui Yanjin had something to say. He quickly received Mr. Cui's urgent letter from his aunt. He learned that the guard who was taken away by his cousin was dead. He guessed that the situation in Nanchu was very serious. It was dangerous, so they convened a clan meeting to discuss sending younger generations of the clan to Nanchu to join their cousin, and to branch part of the Cui clan to Nanchu. However, the elders in the clan were not optimistic about Nanchu. , reluctant to part with his descendants, finally only Cui Gong sent Cui Xingzhi, and his parents agreed that he would come, so they came.
Cui Yanjin also felt that he and his cousin arrived just in time. Otherwise, looking at the situation on the battlefield today, his cousin would have been doomed. His cousin was so wise.
Zhou Gu suddenly realized, his face softened slightly, "Thank you, grandpa, if you hadn't come here, today's battle would have been lost."
Not only was he defeated in this battle, he would also lose Su Rong. Southern Chu would also be cannibalized and destroyed by the Wei Dynasty, and Daliang would also be in danger. If he wants to avenge Su Rong, it will be even more difficult. He doesn't know how many years and months he will be able to avenge today. How will he live for the rest of his life?
Cui Yanjin was still young after all, a half-grown child, so he still asked Zhou Gu to get to the bottom of it because he was really curious, "Cousin, why are you so fierce?"
He remembered that his cousin was not so fierce before. He taught him how to practice swordsmanship when he was a child and was very patient with him. Although he had a temper, he would not get angry with others easily. He always had a smile on his face and rarely had a smile on his face. He was so angry that he rushed to his head.
Zhou Gu took a breath, "Where do you get so much curiosity?"
Cui Yanjin chuckled. After talking for a while, he was no longer afraid of him. "Cousin, tell me, for the sake of my saving my cousin today, don't you like your cousin?"
"Who said I don't like her?" Zhou Gu was angry. If he didn't like her, would he chase her to Nanchu? Said: "She was on the battlefield today and asked Ye Guixue to take me away by force."
