As far back as I can remember, Hen Hongchen has never felt so irritable.
Irritability may stem from uneasiness. However, even she herself didn't know what she was uneasy about.
The unreasonable uneasiness made her very irritable, and the frequency of wiping her sword became faster and faster.
"Have they not taken action yet?" She asked the Great Underworld Envoy standing aside. Now, she just wanted to get things done quickly and lie down to sleep.
Kill all the people in Baiweitang and everything here will be done.
The Great Underworld Envoy leaned slightly and replied softly: "Back to Master, Xinzi just came to report, and the people from Baiwei Hall have gathered, and they should have taken action by now."
... ...
Mei Yuanchen was lying on the bed in the inn, clutching the sachet that Haitang had given to him before leaving, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
"Sir, this is the sachet I embroidered last night. It contains some refreshing herbs and relieves headaches. Just take it with you. Take it out and smell it when you feel tired. Maybe it will feel better."
"You have to be careful when you return to the capital. I... I'm waiting for you to return to Jinzhou. You are a man. You said you would marry me, so you can't break your promise!"
Thinking of Haitang's gentle whisper before leaving and Lihua's tearful face, Mei Yuanchen couldn't help calling softly: "Haitang, have you fallen asleep now?"
... ...
"Sir, where have you been? You must be tired after a long day's journey? Have you fallen asleep now?" Haitang leaned against the bedrail, looking at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree outside the house that was illuminated silvery by the stars, and murmured softly. .
Haitang woke up from her dream.
After Mei Yuanchen left, she felt empty and went to bed very early. After going to bed, I quickly fell asleep again.
She dreamed that she had turned into a fish, swimming in the water... Suddenly, a big strange fish appeared from behind the big rock and rushed toward her, trying to eat her. The big strange fish bit the fish and she woke up.
Fortunately, it was just a nightmare.
"Sir, I miss the more than a year I spent with you in Yuqiong Langyuan. It was the happiest day in Haitang's life..." Haitang's thoughts were interrupted by several dog barks.
"Woof! Woof! Woof~~~" The dog in the outer yard barked a few times and then suddenly became silent.
"Who!" Yunyuan shouted suddenly, "Someone broke in.
Got it! "
... ...
Seeing the people from Prince Yun's Mansion and the cavalry from Prince Jia's Mansion walking away, Du Chong was anxious, but he did not dare to act rashly. Although Shicai Fang and others had said that they would fight to the death to protect the princess, he could not let go at all.
The serial crossbows in the hands of the men in black are a rare close-range attack weapon. Due to its complicated structure and high cost, only the elites of the Shenshao Battalion and the Golden Guards in the entire Dahua have deployed some of them.
This kind of serial crossbow has four rows of arrow slots. Each row of arrow slots can hold five short iron arrows. Each time the mechanism is pressed, five arrows can be fired in less than half a breath, and its arrow body is larger than that of an ordinary crossbow. The arrows are much shorter and slightly heavier, so their penetrating power is extremely strong. Once several crossbows are launched in unison, it is extremely difficult to dodge.
The lack of confidence in avoiding the serial crossbow was the reason why the three people from Hua Fang did not dare to take action easily. They all understood what Xia Chengyi's confrontation with the Prince's Mansion meant to Xia Chengxuan.
"You have already left the city, hurry up and leave!" Hua Fang drove his horse closer to He Fukai and said coldly, "It's getting late, so we can't send him far away!"
He Fukai frowned, shook his head slightly, and replied: "I'm afraid that the pursuers of Prince Jia's Mansion are not far behind. If we let the princess go, I'm afraid they will attack in half a quarter of an hour." When the time comes and they have no worries, how can we withstand it? Sorry, if you want to leave, I won't stop you. However, Princess Chengyi must send us to a safe place to leave."
He was right. The group of people had only traveled two miles out of the city, so Du Chong sent a dozen people to follow them all the way, agreeing to send one person back every half an hour to report their whereabouts. This is a pursuit method commonly used in the military and is suitable for tracking large groups of people over long distances.
Hua Fang's face turned cold, and he pointed at the bridge of his nose and cursed: "He Fukai, it's in vain that you are a seven-foot man, but you can't keep your word like this!"
"Hmph!" He Fukai snorted coldly and replied, "If Du Chong doesn't send someone to follow us, we will naturally let the princess go back after we have traveled two or three hundred miles. But I know that he will secretly send someone to follow us. , Don’t worry, when my people kill them all, I will have a good discussion with you!”
Just now, he had quietly made a gesture to his confidants. They understood what he meant and had already led a group of people back. When they came back, none of Du Chong's people could survive.
"You villain!" Hua Fang's heart skipped a beat, and he gritted his teeth angrily and cursed.
... ...
When Xia Chengcan set off from the Pinan post, there were more than 4,500 white-clad soldiers around him, but at this time, there were only four
More than one thousand and one hundred.
After leaving White Crane Temple, these more than 4,100 people went straight to the city gate.
Ma Dushan led his troops to fight with Xu Hanshan's troops of the White Army outside the city gate all night. They were finally defeated and could not escape with only more than 3,000 people.
Although these people were lucky enough to leave the battlefield alive, they were all exhausted and suffered minor or serious injuries. After walking sixty or seventy miles, they hid in the town. Ma Dushan was sure that Xia Chengxuan would never take advantage of the victory to pursue him at this time, so he rested there for two days.
However, when we set off on the third day, more than half of the generals had fled, leaving less than 1,600 men. With so many of his men running away, Ma Dushan was not in a hurry. In his opinion, too many people on the escape route may not be a good thing: "They are all my brothers who have been with me for many years. Since I can't give them wealth, I just ran away." . I have no place to stand in the court, so I have to find a remote place to become a bandit."
So he led his men to rob several wealthy households in the town, stole money and some food, and then fled south.
Ma Dushan did not expect that when he fled to the outskirts of the city, he would run into Xia Chengcan's people. The two groups of people met on the not-so-wide post road and started fighting unavoidably.
The combat power of the white-coated army is far superior to that of ordinary stationed troops, not to mention that Xia Chengcan's troops are the most elite among the white-coated army. Qie Ma Dushan's men had just gone through a deadly battle. Not only had their vitality not recovered, but they were all injured, and they were all killed in less than an hour.
Xia Chengcan was worried about his mother's safety, so he hurried towards Baihe Temple. Unexpectedly, he was beaten to the spot by Prince Jia's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, there is a group of people ahead." The spy drove his horse to stop in front of Xia Chengcan and reported with his hand, "My subordinates saw from a distance a group of unicorn chariots, guarded by eight or nine hundred people."
"Qilin chariot?"
The spy Zheng Sheng replied: "Hui Shizi, it is indeed a four-wheeled Qilin chariot. However, the group of people is a bit strange. More than half of them are wearing black clothes, and among them, fifty or sixty people are tightly surrounding the chariot at the front."
"Qilin Chariot..." Xia Chengcan lowered his head and thought, "Is it Prince Duan's Palace, Prince Yi's Palace, or Prince Jia's Palace? Or... Prince Zhi's Palace? Prince Yun's Palace?"
After much thought, he still couldn't figure out which prince would leave the city at this time?
"No matter which palace it is, always stop and ask." Xia Chengcan shook his head and said coldly, "If it's from Prince Yun's palace, that would be great!"
