stormy clouds

Princess Anjun swayed and said in disbelief, "Is Zichu injured?"

"I was injured by a cold arrow while patrolling today. The doctor in the army has bandaged it, but the injury is too serious, and I haven't woken up until now."

Anjun Wang said with great pain: "Now I can't leave Qingzhou, only you can send Zichu to Lindu overnight, so that Master Muhou can ask Divine Doctor Xu to think of a way," his voice lowered, "Maybe...you can save your life. "

The princess of the county was sweating profusely when she heard this, but her face calmed down, "Where is Zichu, where is Zichu?"

"I put him in the carriage," Anjun Wang said, "I will open the city gate and lead troops to attack Xia Bing's camp, and Qin An will escort you out of the city in the chaos." An Junwang grabbed the princess by the shoulder, " Jingshu, Zichu depends on you."

Princess Anjun's face was pale, but her eyes were filled with firmness, "Don't worry, my lord, Zichu is my life, I will definitely bring Zichu to Lindu, and seek medical treatment from the genius doctor Xu."

King An's eyes fell on her pale and thin face. She had become visibly thinner these days.

His eyes dimmed, and he stretched out his hand to brush away a strand of messy hair from her face.

The princess of the county tilted her head indistinctly, and her hands in the air were empty.

He took a deep look at her and withdrew his fingers, "It's getting late, I'm leaving."

The princess of the county didn't speak, but the hand of the king of An County clenched into a fist, and his footsteps were a bit heavy when he walked out. When he was about to reach the door, he stood up and said in a hoarse voice: "Jingshu, I'm sorry!"

Without waiting for the princess to speak, he suddenly opened the door and strode out without looking back.

A gust of cool wind blew in through the open door, and the curtains in the room were thrown into chaos. The princess of the county rubbed her eyes, and when she looked outside again, the figure of Prince An was no longer there.

-

At midnight, Qingzhou soldiers who only defended but not attacked opened the city gate, and Xia Bing was caught off guard.

Among the raiding Qingzhou soldiers, a carriage took advantage of the chaos to break through and leave.

The sound of fighting with flames outside Qingzhou City gradually ceased to be heard.

As the night fell into darkness, Princess An held Zichu's hand calmly, looked at the slightly frowning face of the sleepy young man in front of her, and sat upright.

Except for the chaotic sound of horseshoes and unknown bird calls, the surroundings are quiet and suffocating.

When the sky was turning white, Baoqin finally said, "Princess, you can squint for a while."

One day and one night, the princess did not close her eyes, and her eyes were already bloodshot.

"The post is ahead, Qin An asked the princess if she needed to rest for a while."

Qin An is the most powerful guard of King An. This time, King An specially asked him to escort the princess and the prince to Lindu, and he also knew that Qin An would definitely be able to send the concubine and the prince to Lindu.

"No need," Princess Jun said indifferently, "just go, I will give orders when necessary."

Baoqin rolled up the curtain, waved his hand outside, and the carriage continued to move forward.

On the third day, the accompanying doctor changed Zichu's medicine in the carriage, and Zichu woke up once in a daze.

Princess An's heart was in her throat. Except for the time when she got out of the car, the rest of the time was to put Zichu under her nose and take care of her day and night. She was afraid that something might go wrong and she would never see him again. up.

During the journey of more than ten days, Qin An took shortcuts all the way. Although the road was difficult, it did save a lot of time compared to taking the official road.

In addition to the almost non-stop driving day and night along the way, it took only five days to arrive outside the city of Lindu.

Seeing the words Lindu on the city gate, Princess Anjun finally let out a little breath.

"Qin An, go directly to the Marquis of Changping," the princess princess of the county opened the curtain, and instructed Qin An who was still calm and stern despite the dusty weather ahead.

Qin An reined in his horse and walked towards the city gate.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the city, he seemed to have a feeling, and looked back.

This glance surprised him.

Dust billows on the far horizon.

It's winter, so much dust, unless it's cavalry.

Moreover, there are quite a few cavalry.

His eyes tightened as he just got off the Qingzhou battlefield. Years of military experience told him that it is absolutely abnormal for so many cavalry to come straight to Lindu at this time.

Without thinking, he shouted, "Hurry up, escort the princess and the prince into the city."

Before his followers could react, he had already turned his horse and got behind the carriage.

The entourage from Qingzhou who escorted the princess and the son of the county were all warriors selected from the battlefield. Seeing this scene, they had already understood the general idea, and they didn't care about other things, they immediately surrounded the carriage and rushed into the city.

The stable carriage suddenly picked up speed, Princess An was staggered and almost threw herself out.

Looking at Baoqin again, he was caught off guard and rolled to the ground.

Princess Anjun held Zi Chu tightly in her arms, for fear of accidentally throwing him down.

There were already sounds of running and crying outside.

Baoqin firmly grasped the corner of the table and climbed up. She opened the rolling curtain and looked outside, and the heavy city gate was slowly closing.

And by coincidence, they just squeezed into the city gate.

Baoqin put down the rolling curtain, his face was ashen, "Princess, the city gate is closed."

Princess An Jun held Zi Chu in her arms even harder, trying to stabilize her body so that Zi Chu would not fall off, "Have we entered the city yet?" She asked loudly.

"Entered the city." Baoqin said in a daze.

Princess Anjun breathed a sigh of relief, "Just enter the city, what about Qin An?"

"Guard Qin" hugged Qin and tried his best to stabilize his body and then looked outside. There were fleeing people everywhere, and Qin An's figure could not be seen anywhere.

It is estimated that they ran away, and I don't know if they entered the city or not.

She put down the curtain, "Princess, it's too chaotic outside, I didn't see Qin guard."

"It doesn't matter, since the prince asked him to escort us to Lindu, he must have something special, and he won't run away like this."

Concubine Anjun said, "Don't panic, as long as you enter the city, you will be fine for the time being. The most urgent thing now is to go to the Marquis of Changping and find Dr. Xu to save Zi Chu."

Holding the piano is not that casual, she quickly calmed down, and stepped forward to help Princess Anjun protect Zichu.

The carriage bumped wildly for a while and gradually calmed down, and the surrounding area became much quieter.

Qin An's voice sounded, "Princess, Xia Bing arrived outside Lindu just now, we avoided the market, and the Marquis of Changping is in front of us."

Princess An's teeth were chattering, it was indeed Xia Bing, and it seemed that the military disaster in Qi State was inevitable.

She held Zi Chu's head and forced herself to be calm: "Qin An, go directly to the Marquis of Changping."

Qin An agreed, "Yes," and the carriage continued on its way.

Although it was a short distance, Princess An felt that it took her a lifetime.Panic, worry and fear were intertwined, making her even more haggard who had been sleepless for days and nights.

The carriage finally stopped, Princess Anjun asked Baoqin to take care of Zichu, adjusted her clothes, and got out of the carriage.

The vermilion gate of Changping Hou Mansion was closed tightly, and the copper rivets on the gate gleamed in the sunlight, which was extremely dazzling.

Qin An had already dismounted, "Princess, let me come."

Princess Anjun didn't speak.

Qin An stepped forward and pulled the copper ring on the door, and buckled it a few times.

After a while, the door was opened a crack, and an old porter saw Qin An, hesitated for a moment, and came out, "Our Lord Hou is not at home, what's the matter with you two?"
