I'm done!
Fuyu Fengzhang told himself: This was not a war, but a unilateral killing. He was not running away, but looking for an opportunity to fight again. He stretched out his hand to call the captain guarding the gate: "Everything here is left to you. The compound wall must be built before dark!"
"Yes!" The captain puffed up his chest instinctively, and then asked hesitantly: "Then, Your Majesty -?"
"I'm going back to the palace now. There are more important things there!" Fuyu Fengzhang noticed the look of disdain on the captain's face, but he was too lazy to pay attention to it. Yes, he was a coward who ran away from the battle, and he was the one who stood firm. Warriors, but both of them are just a puddle of flesh in front of the falling boulder. Is there any difference? You must survive, there are more important things waiting for you. He jumped on the mount on which the guards came, shouted loudly: "Before dark!" he emphasized loudly, and then rode away.
When Fuyu Fengzhang returned to the palace, it was getting late. He jumped off his mount, climbed the steps as fast as possible, walked through the corridor, and passed a courtyard full of wisteria and flowers. This is the inner courtyard. , only the closest people can enter here.
"How is the situation outside the city?" Anbei Qingzi asked while taking off Fuyu Fengzhang's dusty cloak.
"It's terrible!" Fuyu Fengzhang said bluntly to his wife: "If reinforcements cannot arrive within five days, Zhouliucheng will not be saved!"
"Five days, so fast?" Anbei Qingzi handed the cloak to the maid, took the cloth soaked in warm water and wiped the dust on Fuyu Fengzhang's face: "Isn't the wall of Zhouliu City very strong?"
"It's very strong!" Fuyu Fengzhang happily enjoyed his wife's service: "But the trebuchets of the Tang Dynasty were even more terrifying. They could throw stones weighing hundreds of kilograms from three hundred steps away. Even the strongest city wall could withstand it. Can’t live!”
"Three hundred steps away? Hundreds of kilograms of rocks?" Anbei Qingzi's rosy cheeks suddenly turned pale: "How is this possible? Could it be that the Tang people had mastered the power of ghosts and gods?"
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes today, I wouldn't have believed it!" Fuyu Fengzhang sighed, and he grabbed Qingzi's hands: "Qingzi, Zhouliucheng is no longer safe now. This is a prison. We must prepare a retreat. Got it!"
"A way out?"
"Yes, a way to escape! Zhongsheng still has many troops in Rencun City, and your father is also there. As long as I can escape there, I can still deal with the Tang people. And if I am caught by the Tang people, Then everything is over!”
"But there are still many soldiers in the city?" Anbei Qingzi asked: "If we can't defend the city, we can go out and fight with the Tang people!"
"We have already fought. What's the result? The Tang people's cavalry is much stronger than ours. We can't win in a field battle!" Fuyu Fengzhang shook his head.
"So what if you escaped to Rencun Mountain City? Even if the Tang people had trebuchets like that, they still couldn't defend it!"
"Rencun Mountain City is much more dangerous than Zhouliu, and the Tang people may not be able to capture it!" Fuyu Fengzhang said softly: "Even if we can't defend Rencun Mountain City, we can still escape to Goguryeo. Goguryeo is the mortal enemy of the Tang Dynasty. Quan Gaesumun will definitely support me with all his strength! Datang is far away from Baekje, and as long as we can persevere, we will be able to restore our country one day!"
"Escape to Goguryeo?" Anbei Haruko frowned: "Why do you want to go there? Isn't it good to go back to Chikushi? Do you still remember Juguangting Palace? The courtyard there is so beautiful! The orange trees are about to bear fruit again! We You can live there until winter when you come back to Asuka!" At this point, Abe Haruko's voice gradually became softer and her eyes closed slightly. She held her husband's hand and a sweet smile appeared on her face. She was already immersed in the beauty of the world. In the memories of the past.
"We can't go back!" Fuyu Fengzhang took out his right hand from his wife's hand with a hard heart.
"Can't you go back?" Anbei Qingzi's eyes widened in surprise: "Why?"
"You may still be able to go back, but I definitely can't go back!" Fuyu Fengzhang whispered: "Prince Zhongda brother sent so many troops to Baekje. If the battle is defeated, someone must be responsible for it. And I There is no support from any force behind it, and he will definitely be the first to be pushed out as a scapegoat!"
"Who said you have no one to support you? Father and the entire Ampere Family will support you!"
"If we lose the battle, Anbei's vitality will definitely be severely damaged. I'm afraid your father will be implicated, so how can he still have the ability to support me?" Fuyu Fengzhang said with a bitter smile: "At that time, I'm afraid he will separate you and me. Avoid being implicated!”
Abe Haruko's eyes widened. The sudden cruel fact made her speechless for a moment. After a few minutes, she sobbed: "How could this happen?"
"Qingzi, don't be like this, I am also preparing for the worst case scenario!" Fuyu Fengzhang hurriedly hugged his wife: "If the reinforcements can rush back before the city is broken, and we can attack the Tang people from inside and outside, that would be the best! "
As if her fingertips had touched the last life-saving straw, Abe Haruko held on tightly: "Yes, the reinforcements will definitely arrive, they will definitely arrive!"
————————————————————————
The wind swept the tide towards the mouth of the Baicun River. The waves splashed like a long white line, going upstream and hitting the shore, splashing into the sky.
The rumbling horn crossed the sea, and the sound was hoarse and deep, like the call of the devil, carried from ship to ship. "Lower the sails on all ships!" Mononobe Renxiong gave the order: "Change to the oarsmen! Move closer to the beach on the right bank!" Following the order, the oarsmen began to row hard. At this time, the oars were longer than the sails. Much more reliable.
About half an hour later, Mononobe Renxiong's boat approached the beach. He was still more than twenty steps away from the shore. He jumped into the sea. The seawater just submerged his waist. He strode into the water and boarded the beach. He opened his arms and hugged the man who had been waiting here for a long time: "Shoujun Oishi, I heard that you were implicated in the matter of Prince Uma. I really didn't expect to see you here again."
"Yes! I was exiled to Kamoye Country by Prince Nakadai, and I thought I would be framed and killed by his people soon, but I didn't expect that I would receive a pardon order only a month later, and then I would come here! "Shoukun Oishi is a handsome middle-aged man, but his eyes are a little narrow and there is a scar on the right cheek. He looks a bit bitter. He is the twin brother of the Japanese warrior Lord Ousui, and he is considered to be a member of the Imperial family. On the side branch, he became friendly with Prince Youjian. After Prince Youjian was killed by his eldest brother, Prince Zhong, he was also implicated and sentenced to exile. He was pardoned soon after and was sent to Baekje.
"Katsugi needs your people to work for him, so I pardoned you!" Mononobe Renxiong sneered: "Did you know? Kamimono-kun's child, Jianjin Ren's Dai Gai, Jushu Shen's former minister's translation, Miwa-kun Nemaro and Otakuchi Kamarata are all here. Except for Abe Hirafu, they are all Katsuragi's political opponents! He is very happy to defeat the Tang Dynasty Katsuragi, and he is even more happy to die here after losing us!"
