Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 696: Visiting parents’ graves for the first time
"The hatred of women is simply too terrifying. It's really eye-opening for me that such a young Bai Yichu can achieve this level. So don't mess with women, especially those who are petty. The ancients do not deceive me. , The most poisonous thing is a woman’s heart.”

It turns out that Bai Yichu was just a knife for Yu Qian.

The current situation is all driven by Yu Qian.

But, can it really go as he wishes?

Guiyan City has arrived, and the war has already started.

Hundreds of thousands of troops came to the city, all dressed in black armor, spread out like waves in front of the gate of Guiyan City.

This ancient city faces the grassland, has nearly ten miles of road ahead, and is sandwiched between two cliffs.

The mountain is steep and the cliffs are sharp.

It is impossible to pass by pedestrians at all, because this unique terrain makes Guiyan City easy to defend but difficult to attack.

If you want to invade Da Qin, you must break this city.

If there is an effective defender, the city does not need to be defended by too many people, and it will be difficult for the enemy to capture it. But this time, the enemy adopted a siege technique.

Because there is only one gate in and out of Guiyan City, and hundreds of thousands of cavalry block this only exit, it will only take a few months for the city to run out of ammunition and food, and it will naturally break without attacking.

This is also the reason why the army has been pressing the border for more than a month, but there has been no fighting.

The people in the Dingbei Hou Mansion don't need to do anything. As long as they remain motionless, they can help the tyrants and push hundreds of thousands of soldiers and people to death.

Yu Qinghuan and Zhang Huan hid in a mountain col. After finding out the situation, Yu Qinghuan asked him: "Is there only one entrance to this city?"

Zhang Huan nodded: "There is only such an entrance, but there is a rapid river in the mountain. If you can go upstream from the river, you can also wade into the city. But it is impossible to do it manually, otherwise the river The side will not be left undefended."

Yu Qinghuan said: "Let's go there!"

Zhang Huan was shocked: "Princess, it's impossible! Even people who are familiar with water properties cannot survive such a fast river."

Yu Qinghuan said: "Let your horse go, and I will take you into the city from the river."

Zhang Huan was completely frightened, but seeing that the princess looked so determined, he had no choice but to believe her.

After Yu Qinghuan left a mark, he asked Zhang Huan to lead the way. They walked for nearly an hour before they came to the river.

I saw a large river more than ten feet wide, rushing out of a narrow ravine. The water was deep and fast, and the sound of the water rumbling was like thunder. The scene was spectacular.

Zhang Huan is right when he says that this river cannot be crossed by humans.

Yu Qinghuan patted Xiao Hong's head and whispered in her ear: "I know you have your own dignity and pride and don't let people get close to you easily, but this is a major event that concerns the world. Please allow Zhang Huan to help. You have the strength to wade through the water, and when the matter is over, I will give you three taels of sugar every day."

Zhang Huan looked on dumbfounded, thinking that the princess was crazy.

But when Yu Qinghuan put a rope on him and Xiaohong jumped down and jumped into the fast river and swam like a big fish without any resistance from the water flow, he was shocked!

Until Xiaohong led them from the river into Guiyan City, Zhang Huan still didn't react. He felt like he was in a dream, as if he had met a water spirit monster.After entering the city, Zhang Jin went back to the stronghold first, fetched clothes popular in Mobei and put them on Yu Qinghuan. Then he and Yu Qinghuan swaggered to the stronghold of Prince Qi's Mansion, and then went through the secret passage to a residential building in the downtown area. middle.

Before the war broke out, the people in the city were indeed scared out of their wits. However, the Northern Qi people only besieged the city but did not attack it. In addition, Dingbei Hou Shizi rode on horseback to lobby every day. Everyone thought that there was no chance of war, so they all relaxed their vigilance. It was still bustling.

There are only a few people left in the stronghold, and most of them died on the way to deliver the message. Now there are only nine people left in total.

Yu Qinghuan called everyone together and asked them to report on the recent situation, and finally came to the conclusion: Prince Dingbei Hou indeed had hidden evil intentions. There was not much food and grass left, but he did not send anyone to transport it. Hundreds of thousands of people plus hundreds of thousands of soldiers, at most We can only survive for more than twenty days, and we will definitely run out of ammunition and food.

Yu Qinghuan made a decision immediately: "Zhang Huan, there are three more people on the way here. Calculate the distance. We should arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. You ride Xiaohong to report the news and let them burn the grain and grass of Northern Qi. The louder the noise, the better. If the Northern Qi army If there is no food and grass available, we will inevitably attack the city to grab food. When the time comes, we will immediately light the beacon and ask for help from the court. This battle must be fought!"

Zhang Huan agreed: "Yes! We must fight! Otherwise, even if Guiyan City is destroyed, the court will not know!"

But questions followed: "Princess, the Dingbei Hou Mansion controls the entire Guiyan City. There are only a few of us and we are weak. How can we hide the news from the people of the Dingbei Hou Mansion and light the beacon? Don't you brothers do this? I never thought about it, but everyone sent out never came back!"

Yu Qinghuan took out a tiger charm from her arms, which was the Lu family's token. On the day she met Feiyu Lu Sheng, what Lu Sheng gave to Changsun Tao was a relic left by her parents.

The little jadeite was kept smooth and moist, and it could be seen that it had been carefully taken care of.

Yu Qinghuan frowned, holding the tiger talisman and thinking for a long time.

Nowadays, it is indeed impossible for them to ignite the beacon alone.

So I can only place my hope on this little tiger charm.

My mother and father have been suffering from infamy for more than ten years, but there are still eight guards who are loyal to their duties. She has enough reasons to believe that this tiger charm has the power to appeal to people.

After finalizing the charter, Zhang Huan took Xiao Hong out of the city, while Yu Qinghuan came to a small temple on the edge of the city alone.

Under a vigorous green pine, there are two ordinary wordless monuments erected. These are the tombs secretly erected by the people in the city for Marquis Yiyong and Princess Chuanping.

It is said that Dingbeihou was trampled into the mud, and Princess Chuanping hit the wall and died, and was also dragged into the wild horses.

The flesh and blood of the couple finally turned into the dust in front of Guiyan City, which they guarded with their lives, and became an inseparable part of this ancient city.

And their souls will stay here for life after life.

Later, when the border was quiet and Yu Qian's squadron returned to the court and was ennobled, the people secretly picked up some bone fragments and put them in the coffin to build these two unnamed tombs.

Yu Qinghuan made some food herself and brought a jug of wine. She came to her parents' graves and stood for a while, then suddenly knelt down.

He called softly: "Daddy, grandma."

After living for two lifetimes and decades, she just found out that her biological parents who gave birth to her turned out to be "traitors" whom she had spurned all her life. She loved Chu, her adoptive mother, and she could not accept it for a time.

But later, she was proud of such biological parents.

"Yu'er is unfilial and has only come to see you now. Don't worry, Yu'er is fine. She has always been fine." Yu Qinghuan knelt in front of her parents' graves and burst into tears.
