Traveling through the daily life of raising a family in ancient times

Chapter 22
The original master and Wu Dalang went to the battlefield after only two months of training, and as the vanguard, they broke through the defense lines of the cities along the way and went straight to the capital.

Some of their bodies were recovered in the military camp. One was 32 years old and the other had just turned 22. They were in their prime.

So at the beginning of the fight, the two of them suffered minor injuries at most.But the battlefield is cruel, and after all, swords are hard to defend against.

The first to die was Wu Dalang. He had his thigh and forearm cut off, and he died of pain.

Before he died, he tightly held He Yanxin's hand, his whole body was so numb that he couldn't speak.

But He Yanxin knew that this was for him to take care of his parents, wife and children.

Seeing this big brother who played with him since childhood died, he couldn't even bury him properly.

King Qi, who only summoned 16 soldiers, also knew that it was impossible to fight a long battle with the court and he would lose.

So he planned to take advantage of the imperial court's unpreparedness, and first conquer Yizhou between the capital and Qizhou, and take the capital directly.

So, as the vanguard, they kept approaching the capital all the way, opening a road to the sky for the people behind them.

Only those weapons and materials that can be used on the ground were collected, and the higher-ups ordered to move on.

He Yanxin tried to find Wu Dalang's legs and the flying forearm pretending to put away his weapons, but there were too many of them at the scene.

Seven days later, they met Duke Zhen who brought [-] soldiers to rebel.

That war was extremely tragic, and it also made people know how big the gap between their mixed soldiers and the regular soldiers of the imperial court was.

He Yanxin is still dead, decapitated.At the moment of death, only his wife in Anshan Village was on his mind.

He couldn't imagine how she would live with two children as a woman without her husband.

But He Yanxin soon discovered that he could still stand up.

But looking at his dirty body on the ground, and feeling unreal.

This is yourself?Became a ghost?
He Yanxin floated forward, trying to talk to someone.But no one paid attention to him, and no one heard his voice.

There are so many corpses on the ground, but he is the only wandering soul.

The [-] vanguard troops were beaten, leaving more than [-] remnants defeated, and ran back to Qizhou in desperation.The court casualties did not exceed [-].

He Yanxin floated beside them and followed them back.He made various attempts along the way, and went elsewhere to see if there were any existences like him.

It wasn't until Qizhou that he discovered to his regret that he seemed to be the only special existence in this world.No one can see him either.

But he is still very happy, at least he can go home to see his wife.

Because he used floats, he arrived in Qizhou faster than those people.

But before going home, he still wanted to meet the King Qi who had sacrificed his life for him.

Low-level soldiers like them were not qualified to meet each other before.

Now that his movements were not restricted, he floated directly into the heavily guarded palace.

And what arrived one step faster than him was obviously the battle report.

King Qi was getting angry in the study when he entered, because this time it was too embarrassing.Less than half the distance from the capital, his army was beaten to pieces.

The difference between the other side and our own side is only 2 people, but their casualties are so heavy.How could King Qi accept this!

King Qi sat on the leading chair at the top, with a group of staff and guests below.

His complexion could no longer be described as gloomy, and then he slapped the table and asked, "Where is that old Jiang Yuanchen at this time?"

A scout was kneeling below, and replied in a trembling voice, "It's only 220 miles away from Julu Pass."

Julu Pass is closer to the capital city than other passes. If the opponent sends troops, it will be too far to take a detour, so this pass must be passed.

The distance between Qizhou Fucheng and Juluguan is only sixty or seventy miles.That is to say, if the opponent breaks the level, they can go straight to Huanglong.

King Qi's heart trembled.

Although he called Jiang Yuanchen by his name here, what he was most afraid of in the capital was actually this famous Da'an general in his 50s.

King Qi likes to have fun, so this upright old minister really can't get used to it.Every time he met King Qi, he would widen his eyes and preach a few times in a loud voice.

It made him not only a little scared but also a little impatient, and ran to complain to his father, but it was useless.

King Qi became even more arrogant when he became an adult, and lived a luxurious life every day.Jiang Yuanchen stopped preaching to him, and instead handed out the papers in the court.

Because all the grown-up princes of Da'an will participate in political affairs, although he only has a name in the Ministry of Industry, he can't go there a few times throughout the year.

Most of the excerpts will be suppressed by the emperor, but sometimes they cannot be suppressed.

Once, he directly united with a group of ministers to impeach him. As a prince, he lived extravagantly, ignored political affairs, lingered in the place of fireworks, robbed people's daughters, and killed slaves indiscriminately.

That time he was fined two years of salary and banned for half a year.

Although two years' salary is nothing, he doesn't rely on it for food.But the six-month ban really hit his sore spot.

That would be the decisive period for the battle for the crown prince. After he lifted the confinement, the position of the crown prince had already been decided.He was also named the King of Qi by an imperial decree and quickly sent to Qizhou.

If it was fear and annoyance before, then it was fear and hatred again later.This is the biggest stumble he has ever made.

However, such an act of impeachment has not stopped even after he has been crowned king.It's just that Jiang Yuanchen later impeached him for his inaction in the face of drought and famine, and his lack of benevolence.

His spies in the capital sent news that Jiang Yuanchen knew that he was "on the side of the Qing emperor" and bluntly said in the court hall, "I will pay for the rebellious ministers and thieves" and asked himself to rebel.

If he hadn't known that he was coming by himself, King Qi would have thought that his good third brother had sent him to humiliate him.

After all, the person who can overwhelm the six brothers to become the prince is not a little white rabbit. Haven't I suffered a lot from him in those years?
He gritted his teeth, and almost wanted to say that he would give up Fucheng, and retreated.

"My lord, the most urgent task now is to dispatch soldiers, and we must guard Julu Pass!"

A young man wearing a black cloak with a pale complexion and a bad body looked at him stood up and said.

After he finished speaking, he was about to kneel down, but King Qi stood up to help him, but did not kneel down.

The man with two beards and bare eyes on the side looked at the people around him, agreed, and knelt down together.

But until Yan Yanshi knelt down, no one came to help him.

King Qi didn't shout, and they had to kneel all the time. The bearded man lowered his head and looked at the corner of the black cloak in front of him, his not-so-big eyes narrowed into slits.

"Okay, I didn't say I was leaving." King Qi frowned anxiously.

He also knew that he had to defend well, but how many people in this world would dare to confront Jiang Guogong, who has made great military achievements?
"Zi Jin, Gu appointed you as the guard."

This means that this man named Zijin has been promoted from a simple retainer to an official staff member.

"And... Di Fu followed the Second Battalion to Julu Pass as quickly as possible." King Qi pondered for a while, then saw the people kneeling on the ground, and finally decided on the candidate.

"Be sure to hold on to me!" After speaking, he stepped forward and held the right shoulder of the pale-faced man.

"Cough..." The man held back his cough, and his face turned rosy.

"I will not disgrace my life!" He raised his hands and bowed his waist in a bow.

The bearded man on the ground followed suit.

He Yanxin watched the scene from the side, and found that the legendary King Qi was just a very ordinary man except for his good looks.Even at the age of 27, my stomach is blessed.

However, the person called Zijin caught his attention. He always felt that the other person looked familiar, but he had no thoughts.

Regardless of the development below, he drifted in the direction of home.
