The late emperor trusted the General Protector's Mansion and authorized the Protector General to dispatch 20,000 troops from local areas with his commander's seal in time of war.
After the emperor ascended the throne, he never took back the privilege of being a general protecting the country.
Yan Qing is the general's bodyguard, and his skills are second only to the general, and the other secret guards are also not insignificant.
If they break out of the encirclement, they will surely be able to reach Ganzhou City, which is closest to Huangsha Ridge.
Ganzhou Jiedushi commanded 30,000 troops, and he did not dare to disobey the general's orders. Even if he only mobilized 20,000 troops, the general's ability could turn defeat into victory.
At least the whole army won't be wiped out.
But, "No, General, the news received by my subordinates is that you and the 20,000 National Protector Army were all killed in Huangshaling, including the secret guards, and no one survived.
I have never heard of Yan Qing mobilizing troops. What is going on? Who is harming the general? Where is Yan Qing? But still alive? "
He was so excited that he asked several questions in succession, so much so that he forgot that he also called Wei Qingyan a general.
Wei Qingyan pressed his hand and signaled him to calm down, "I haven't found out who is behind it. I have an agreement with Yan Qing. If he reaches Ganzhou City successfully, he will release a signal."
She saw the signal released by Yan Qing in Huangshaling, but she couldn't wait for a long time to come to rescue.
After Du Xueyi heard Wei Qingyan explain the situation, he stood up and said, "There is a problem with Ganzhou Jiedushi! The Ganzhou Jiedushi at that time was... Wu Yuchu..."
He paused, widened his eyes, then slowly sat down and looked at Wei Qingyan, "Wu Yuchu is dead. He was assassinated in his concubine's room a few days ago."
It's the general!
General kill him!
The general loves his soldiers and treats them like brothers. It is impossible for the general not to avenge the 20,000 soldiers who protect the country. "He died well, he died well."
Du Xueyi gritted his teeth, "Did Yan Qing be harmed by him too?"
Otherwise, with Yan Qing's loyalty to the general, she would never watch the general suffer without going to rescue him.
"I don't know." A flash of sadness quickly flashed across Wei Qingyan's face, "But I found out that Yan Qing appeared outside Yongzhou City and he is dead."
After recovering her memory, the first thing she did was to report Yan Qing's horoscope to the fat monk and ask him to predict good or bad luck.
The results showed that Yan Qing’s soul had returned to the underworld for many years, but it was not known where his bones were buried.
Or maybe someone would pick up his bones for him.
"Yongzhou? That's not the fiefdom of your sister-in-law, King Jing."
Du Xueyi guessed, "Did Yan Qing arrive in Ganzhou City, fail to mobilize troops, and instead be chased by Wu Yuchu, and then run to Yongzhou to ask King Jing for help?"
Based on Wei Qingyan's understanding of Yan Qing, Du Xueyi's guess is very likely to be true.
but.
"Yan Qing was hunted down outside the city before he could enter Yongzhou City, and he was never seen again."
Wei Qingyan looked at Du Xueyi, "He was the only one left at that time, and Shuai Yin disappeared with him."
Du Xueyi's expression suddenly changed.
In the Wei Dynasty, apart from the tiger talisman in the emperor's hand, the only thing that could mobilize one hundred thousand troops to protect the country was the commander's seal of the general who protected the country.
The 100,000-strong National Guard Army was organized by General Wei. To a certain extent, the National Guard Army recognized the commander's seal more than the tiger talisman.
However, after the incident at Huangshaling, the imperial court announced that the general protecting the country was killed in the battle and the commander's seal was lost in the melee.
Afraid that someone might get the seal to cause trouble, the emperor abolished the role of the general's seal to mobilize troops.
At that time, he thought that the thoughtful person mentioned by the emperor should be King Rong.
After all, it was King Rong who led his troops to the Huangshaling battlefield first and was the first to come into contact with the general's body.
But combined with the news told by the general, Du Xueyi had a terrible thought. He pointed to the sky and asked, "Did he plan all this?"
Since ancient times, kings have always loved crossing rivers and burning bridges.
It happened that the Wudan Kingdom, which had invaded and suppressed the Wei Dynasty for many years, was just defeated by the general, and something happened to the general.
The Protectorate Army has a powerful fighting force. One hundred thousand soldiers can equal the strength of an ordinary army of 300,000 soldiers. To the man on the Dragon Throne, they are both a temptation and a threat.
Wei Qingyan nodded, "I don't rule out that the person who can make Ganzhou Jiedushi obey is definitely not an idle person."
It had only been two months since she regained her memory, and the information she knew was limited.
"Xueyi, if Shiyu gets hold of me, do you think he will betray me?"
The topic changed so quickly that Du Xueyi took a moment to catch up with her. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "I don't think so."
He didn't know what the general's excuse was and why he asked like this. He only told his true thoughts.
"My subordinates claim to be loyal enough to the general, but if something happens to the general, they cannot do what he did and desperately avenge you.
We only dared to go secretly, but before we could take action, we were noticed by King Rong, and he stopped everyone.
He said that the general would not want to see the National Protector Army end up treasonous, and with the Queen Mother protecting him, at most he could be an idle prince and would not lose his life.
If he betrayed the general, why would he go to such an extent.
The general doesn't know that his subordinates have met him twice in front of your tomb, and both times he was in a coma.
Since the day you were buried, he has been in poor health and has been in a coma for half a day. "
Wei Qingyan recalled that day at the hot spring when he checked Shi Yu's pulse and found that he was indeed extremely weak.
But now he has a merit seal, which contains profound vitality and should be beneficial to his body.
"Why did the general doubt him? But what did the general find?" Du Xueyi asked.
Having just experienced what happened with Guan, Du Xueyi was also worried that King Rong was not what he usually saw.
Wei Qingyan shook his head, "I'm just not sure about something."
Now it's confirmed.
When Shi Yu pretended to be drunk and drugged her to make her sleepy, he was not suspicious of her identity.
At that time, he didn't even realize that she was a girl, so he was trapped in love and alienated from her.
The script I found in the private room was about the love and hatred between two men.
Although the two little figures carved on the low couch had no appearance, Wei Qingyan knew that what Shi Yu was carving was her and him, but her in men's clothing.
This makes sense why Shi Yu suddenly wanted to break up with her.
He found himself falling in love with a man.
This man is still the general who protects the country in Wei Dynasty, and there is no way he will have a future with him.
She remembered that Shi Yu had asked her many times, "If your relationship and future are at odds with each other in the future, what would you choose?"
"Of course it's a future." She replied firmly.
She is a general protecting the country disguised as a man. She cannot have a wife and cannot marry, so how can she have feelings.
This answer made Shi Yu make a choice. He suppressed his feelings and fulfilled her future.
She also remembered that the day before the breakup, Shi Yu had gone to the Wei Mansion to find her. At that time, she had just returned from the military camp and greeted him as usual.
But he ignored her and got into the carriage.
That was the beginning of their breakup.
And inside the gate of Wei Mansion, my mother was standing there.
The glory and future of the Protector General's Mansion were her mother's life, how could she allow Shi Yu to ruin it all.
Therefore, it was not Shi Yu who betrayed her identity as a woman to Beiling, otherwise he would have known that it was not her when he saw Abu's body on the battlefield.
If he had leaked it, he would not have concealed it for her, so that everyone in the world still doesn't know that she is a woman.
Shi Yu didn't know, but what about his mother?
What role did she play in the whole thing?
As a mother, it is impossible not to see her son for the last time.
Even if Abu's body was rotten and unrecognizable when he returned to Beijing, if he wanted to tell the difference between male and female, he could still tell the difference. Knowing that the body was not her daughter, had the mother ever found the real her?
The mother didn't know about Abu's existence. When she saw Shi Yu mistook a male corpse for her, didn't the mother get confused and investigate further?
