Cute Wife Divorce Husband: Black-bellied Prince and Little Dumb Concubine

Chapter 525 Interception!

"Send a letter inside, I accept the condition of retreating, but let them release the child from the tower immediately!"

Unexpectedly, the letter has not been sent yet, suddenly a mess of feathered arrows shot down from the upstairs.

The armored guards on the left and right protected Qi Emperor Xiao Yu, but many soldiers were injured by arrows and had to retreat a little.

There was a general below who couldn't hold back his desire to kill, but was scolded by Emperor Qi: "No attack! No arrows! Those who disobey the order will be beheaded!"

At this time, a person appeared upstairs, laughing loudly.This person is a young general, none other than Xiang Shaolin.

"Don't blame our arrows for not having eyes! Who made you, Xiao Yu, come late!"

"Actually, we don't want to embarrass His Majesty the Emperor. After all, the child upstairs is also related to my father by blood. Our conditions are not harsh. The Qi State withdraws its troops for three hundred miles, and promises never to fight with the King of Xiangan." Enemy. Then we will sit down and discuss the future of our children.”

"Presumptuous! It's an unreasonable request! How can you guarantee that the child is our Daqi's prince? How can you promise to return the child?!" The general beside him scolded angrily.

"Emperor Qi, listen, the child is in our hands now, if you don't believe it, just shoot the arrow!"

"Also—" Xiang Shaolin said, "We didn't intend to let the prince of Qi go so easily. Your withdrawal can only ensure that the prince is alive and not suffering."

"As for when to return the prince, it is up to both of us to sit down and have a good talk."

Sure enough, they will never be so easy, as long as they retreat.

It will take several days for the Qi State to withdraw its troops for three hundred miles.It means that they have to give up the results of the war for more than a month.

"Okay, I agree!" Xiao Zijun agreed without thinking, and ordered his generals to negotiate with him.

The children on the tower were released one by one, and the army of Qi army also retreated slowly.

At dawn, the Qi army had already retreated ten miles and continued to retreat in an orderly manner, and the children on the tower had disappeared.

At this time, the Qi army was preparing to send people to Nan'an County to negotiate and discuss matters about the prince.

But at this time, Nan'an County came out, insisting that the Qi army retreat three hundred miles.

The sky was gradually getting brighter, and the morning light shone on the exhausted soldiers. After retreating all night, they were already sleepy at this time.

Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and the temperature is cold. At this time, Xiao Zijun looked at the white sky in the east, and thought of the soldiers who left their homes and shed their blood more than a month ago, but now they have to retreat because of his own words, with mixed feelings in his heart.

But it would be impossible to let him abandon his emperor's son helplessly.

As the sun rose slowly, Emperor Qi's mood gradually became restless.These are not common in the eyes of the generals who have followed him for many years.

His Majesty stood with his hands behind his back, walking from one end to the other for a moment, waiting for something.From time to time, he would ask Lin Yue beside him: "How is the investigation going?"

"Return to Your Majesty, it has not arrived yet."

The emperor's mood became more and more irritable.

Finally, a general came forward with a blood pigeon, "Your Majesty, the letter has arrived!"

Blood Pigeon took a piece of cloth. After seeing the news, His Majesty's expression changed, and his usual sternness appeared on his face.

"Is the news reliable?"

"It's similar to the rumors heard by the ministers, and the spies sent out are all veterans, so they should be credible."

Xiao Zijun thought for a while, and did not discuss with the subordinates, but made a decisive decision and ordered the two generals Qin and Li to come. After some resettlement in the barracks, he changed his disguise and led a group of people to leave quietly.

Few people knew that Emperor Qi had left.

Let's talk about why Xiao Zijun left temporarily.

It turned out that he had already received news that Emperor Chu Xiang Chengye had found the baby, and that Emperor Chu was in Xiangnan County. The news he received this morning was that Emperor Chu had already set off on his way back to Beijing, so he wanted to stop it. .

But the King of Xiangan on this side didn't know yet, Xiao Zijun ordered his generals to continue to deal with them. On the other hand, he was also prepared with both hands, worried that there was really a threat in the hands of the King of Xiangan, so they could not get stalemate with him, they could only negotiate and withdraw their troops. to delay.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky is already cool.

Ning gently held Rui'er and played under the grape trellis in the garden, pointing at the grapes for the child to play with from time to time, and the faint laughter came out between mother and child.

Not far away, Xiang Chengye stopped and looked around. He was lightly wearing a purple-pink Shu brocade long dress. Although he was holding the child in his arms, he still had a charming posture. Only the bun was a little untidy, and he turned to one side. Looking at it from this direction, there is a hint of autumnal blandness added to the beauty.

Xiang Chengye looked at it for a while, but in the end he didn't walk over. Someone beside him called out "Master—" He raised his eyes and saw that it was his subject Qin Mu coming, so he knew something was up.Before leaving, he turned his head to look at Qingqing under the grape trellis again, as if reluctant to give up.

Finally retracting his gaze, Xiang Chengye walked towards the study room surrounded by vines.

It wasn't until the master left that Qing Wei, who was holding the child for fun, slowly turned her eyes. She saw Xiang Chengye in a jade white robe walking away. For some reason, she always felt that the figure of the master was a little tired And melancholy.

Rui'er giggled, tore and played with her mother's hair bun, and let the child make fun of her gently as if unconsciously, her eyes only looked at the disappearing figure of her master, deep in her eyes, there was clearly a faint worry.

He didn't want to tell her about the war situation or state affairs, and she didn't know much about it, but she would also worry about him.

In the study, Emperor Xiang Chengye arranged several strategies, and finally ordered the general beside him, "Don't disturb her. On the third day, I will come to pick her up."

Ning gently listened to General Qin saying that His Majesty may go out a lot recently due to temporary errands. Before leaving, let the princess not worry, just take care of the child with peace of mind.She nodded lightly, this is what she expected, the master is indeed very busy.

The second day of departure.

On the plains of Qingqiu, the grass is dying.The ancient road is long and rugged.

The wheels were rolling and walking very bumpy.

Several gorgeous vehicles, a escort team, it was noon, the horses and chariots were exhausted, and the guarding general gradually became less vigilant.

Suddenly, a group of men and horses rushed out from the fork in the road, and fought with the escort team.

The sound of weapons colliding and armor clinking, boiling against the sky.

During the fierce fight, the man with the silver mask left the horse team and flew close to the sedan chair in the middle.

The curtain was quickly lifted, and the girl sitting inside shouted tremblingly, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

What he was holding in his arms was not a child, but a bundle in disguise.

Xiao Zijun immediately understood that he had been fooled.

This is using illusions to divert the tiger away from the mountain, but fortunately, I have prepared another move.

Immediately got on the horse and said: "Get out!"

The sound of horseshoes is far away, and the dust is indistinct.

In a short while, this well-equipped team quickly withdrew.

In front of them, another team of Jianghu outfits was greeted, but it was the Qi army in disguise.

The leading man came to report, "My lord, the last general was ordered to go to Qingfengya, the place he must pass through. Although he saw a low-key and luxurious convoy, after a fierce battle, he found out that the car was not the rumored Emperor Chu. The princess and the child were not found together."
