Chapter 404 Escape
Tong Cheng was stunned for several seconds before shouting happily: "Your Majesty!"

The old couple was so frightened by his claim that their legs went limp and they almost knelt down.

Qin Luoyu said goodbye to the old couple apologetically, and asked Tong Cheng to collect all the money on him and his subordinates, and left it to the two old people.

The money is not too much, but it is enough for the two old people to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

Qin Luoyu said to Tong Cheng: "I owe you the money, and the emperor will pay you back when the time comes."

Tong Cheng was so frightened that he waved his hands again and again: "Your Majesty, aren't you offending me? I dare not ask the emperor to return it."

Qin Luoyu smiled, and changed the phrase: "Then I will ask the emperor to reward you a lot."

She was silent for a while, "Is the emperor okay?"

The expression on Tong Cheng's face was a bit indescribable: "Well, how should I put it, I will know it when I see the emperor."

May not be good or bad to describe.

Since the disappearance of the empress, the emperor has been extremely calm, and he has been steady and ruthless in planning and commanding the battle. He has never made a mistake, as if he has not been affected by the disappearance of the empress at all.

But this kind of calmness is too calm, and it always feels that there are invisible emotions that may erupt at any time.

Whether it was anger or something else, Tong Cheng didn't know.

Tong Cheng is considered an old man of the Xiaoqi camp. He has followed the emperor in the north and south since the establishment of the Xiaoqi camp. He has never seen the emperor like this.

The generals of the Xiaoqi Battalion didn't dare to talk too much when facing the emperor. When discussing military affairs, it was like walking on thin ice, and they spoke cautiously.

I'm afraid that if I accidentally offend the emperor, it will cause a tragic and monstrous wave.

Tong Cheng prepared a carriage, took Qin Luoyu to the small town, and found a small courtyard to settle her down.

"I sent urgent letters to both the emperor and his highness. The emperor is in Liyang, and it will take seven or eight days to arrive. But your highness is close, and he can arrive in two or three days."

The Highness Tong Cheng mentioned naturally refers to Ling Chengji.

Now that his identity has been made public, no one in the army knows that he is the former prince who narrowly escaped death in Los Angeles.

Ling Junxing canonized him as King Su and appointed him as the vanguard general who attacked Daqin this time.

The changes in Los Angeles more than ten years ago, Ling Chengji's identity as the former prince, made the soldiers more and more united in hatred and passion, and the vanguard army led by Ling Chengji was almost invincible, attacking the city with everything.

In this battle, Ling Chengji's prestige in the army was greatly enhanced.

Qin Luoyu thought of the deaths of Xiao Shangyan and Cen Qi, and what Cen Qi said.

She also really wanted to meet them, and she had many doubts in her heart, and maybe she had to meet them before she could get an answer.

It's a pity that Qin Luoyu couldn't wait for any of them to change their lives.

In the night of the next day, a group of remnants of the Qin Dynasty suddenly attacked the small town at night, and went straight to the small courtyard guarded by Tong Cheng. Tong Cheng protected her and fought hard to escape.

When the team of nearly a hundred people fought bloody battles from that small town, there were only thirteen people left including Tong Cheng.

The chasing soldiers were chasing after him, Tong Cheng did not take Qin Luoyu to find Ling Chengji, nor did he go to Liyang to find Ling Junhang, but took Qin Luoyu all the way to the south, changed his luggage and fled into the Great Qin Dynasty. In the city controlled by the state.

At that time, there was no one left around Tong Cheng.

The strange thing is that when they entered Daqin's territory, those pursuers under the banner of Daqin stopped there for no reason.

Tong Cheng's expression was solemn, and he didn't say a word all the way, not knowing what he was thinking.

A few days later, the vanguard battalion of the Ling Kingdom army approached and began to attack the city.

Tong Cheng took Qin Luoyu to the south again.

They disguised themselves as ordinary people, wrapped up in the fleeing crowd, and fled to the next city that still belonged to Daqin.

Tong Cheng's expression was resolute, and his tone was firm, with some kind of determination to break the boat.

He said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, even if you risk my Tong Cheng's life, I will definitely protect your Majesty's safety."

Qin Luoyu had vaguely guessed something.

She doesn't understand war, but she also knows that the small town where she and Tong Cheng are located has long been controlled by the Ling Kingdom, and the geographical location is remote. It is strange enough that there are so many Daqin soldiers suddenly appearing.

And it was even more strange that those soldiers attacked Qin Luoyu's small courtyard accurately in the dark night.

She asked Tong Cheng, "The people who raided us in the small town were not soldiers from Daqin?"

Tong Cheng gave her a tangled look, but finally shook his head: "No."

The two sides fought in a melee. At first, Tong Cheng really thought that the other party was a soldier of Daqin.

However, the soldiers and horses of Daqin are different from the soldiers and soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion after all. Although no one may pay so much attention to the critical moment of life and death, Tong Cheng has to notice it.

He used to be the person in charge of training the recruits of the Xiaoqi Battalion, and he knew all about the attacking and killing techniques, the formation of troops and even the coordination between them.

Although the situation was so urgent, although those people deliberately imitated Da Qin Bing, he still recognized the subtle differences.

Those people are not the soldiers and horses of Daqin, but the people of Lingguo Xiaoqi Battalion.

At that time, Tong Cheng was not sure who sent these troops, so he temporarily decided to take Qin Luoyu to flee south.

However, as the army of the Lingguo Pioneer Battalion arrived here, Tong Cheng had already confirmed one thing, that is, if the emperor wanted Qin Luoyu to die, it would not take so much trouble.

Therefore, the only person who wants her dead can only be
Tong Cheng didn't say that name, and neither did Qin Luoyu.

In fact, when Cen Qi died, she already had vague doubts in her heart.

When Cen Qi took refuge in Da Qin, he used her whereabouts as a bargaining chip to gain Xiao Shangyan's trust.

Ke Lingjun would never take Qin Luoyu to risk, let alone agree with Cen Qi to take her to Daqin.

That's all, Xiao Shangyan has agreed to send her back, and wrote a peace letter.

With Ling Junxing's temperament, even if he had murderous intentions towards Xiao Shangyan, he would definitely wait until Qin Luoyu returned to him safely.

He would not disregard Qin Luoyu's safety and ask Cen Qi to poison Xiao Shangyan on the day Qin Luoyu returned to Ling Kingdom.

Therefore, the person who secretly ordered Cen Qi to seek refuge with Daqin, and then poisoned Xiao Shangyan, absolutely cannot be Ling Junxing.

Cen Qi said the day he fled with Qin Luoyu that the people who would pick him up would wait for them in that mountain.

But the respondent did not come, and Cen Qi was killed.

The person who took care of Cen Qi probably didn't want Cen Qi and her to live at all.

But she is still alive, not only alive, but also met Tong Cheng.

Tong Cheng sent back the news that she had been found, and the people who chased and killed her came again.

So it was clear who wanted her dead.

Qin Luoyu really couldn't figure out why he insisted on taking her life.

Not to mention how he was treated in Prince Zhao's Mansion back then, but this time she was caught by Zhaherou, she would rather put herself in danger, and would rather anger Zhaherou than seek a chance for him.

He should know how Qin Luoyu treats him.

She doesn't ask the other party to be grateful, but it's really chilling to repay her kindness like this.

Tong Cheng also couldn't figure it out, held back for a long time, and couldn't help but said: "Have you offended His Highness King Su before?"

Qin Luoyu smiled bitterly: "No."

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is really no such thing.

She mostly sympathizes with Mr. Ji, and because he is a patient, she has always taken good care of him.

And after he regained his sanity, she regarded him as an elder brother, and he obviously acted like a big brother.

What is it for, he insists on killing her like this, and kills her?

Tong Cheng comforted her: "Although His Highness is leading the troops at the moment, with the whereabouts of the empress, the emperor will definitely come soon. When the emperor comes, I will quietly take the empress to see the emperor."

At that time, there is no need to be afraid of Ling Chengji's pursuers.

Perhaps the most correct thing Qin Luoyu did when he came to this world was to save Tong Cheng's life.

He saved her life, and he really wished he could pay her back with his own life.

Tong Cheng left behind his identity as the general of the Xiaoqi Battalion, and protected her all the way to hide in Tibet.

However, Qin Luoyu was pregnant and couldn't move. Tong Cheng finally decided to take a risky move. Instead of fleeing with Qin Luoyu, he hid in the cellar of a vacant house that was destroyed by the war.

Now that the weather is getting warmer, the cellar is not too cold, and there are a lot of food and drinks stored, so I am not afraid of starving.

The most dangerous places are often the safest places.

They hid safely in the courtyard for more than ten days. Tong Cheng would go out to inquire about news from time to time, and finally waited until Ling Junxing came to the front line.

Ling Junxing did come, but it was not something she and Tong Cheng could easily see.

Tong Cheng thought over and over again, but he decided to leave Qin Luoyu behind and go to see Lord Ling by himself.

When Tong Cheng left, he repeatedly told Qin Luoyu that she must wait for him to come back before coming out, "When I come back, the emperor will definitely be there, and the empress will be safe then."

To be on the safe side, Tong Cheng took away Qin Luoyu's half of the phoenix feather jade pendant.

Qin Luoyu waited for several days, but after Tong Cheng left, he never came back.

Regardless of whether he can meet Ling Junxing or not, it is impossible for Tong Cheng not to come back to find her.

He didn't come back, it can only be bad luck.

When Qin Luoyu finally saw the light of day again from the cellar, the army of the Ling Kingdom had already withdrawn. Although the city was chaotic, the streets had gradually restored order and vitality.

It is said that the army of the Ling Kingdom continued to advance southward, and successively conquered the Daqin City, which was still stubbornly resisting.

Every time they passed by, they would have to search for several days, and every family in the city could not escape the fate of being searched.

When Qin Luoyu heard the news, he felt a chill all over his body.

Tong Cheng is the general of the Xiaoqi Battalion, and he has a phoenix feather jade pendant given to her by Ling Junxing.

But even so, he failed to bring Ling Junxing, most likely, he didn't even see Ling Junxing.

Who stopped Tong Cheng, and who was in charge of those searches.

If she is really found, will she be sent to Ling Junxing, or will she disappear quietly like Tong Cheng.

Qin Luoyu didn't dare to think about it.

The baby in her womb is four months old.

It will playfully move around in her stomach.

She could risk her own life, but she didn't want the child to have any accidents.

Maybe, find a safe place to settle down first, and give birth to a child in anonymity like this.

When the fighting subsides in the future and the situation is a little more stable, she will try to go to see Lord Ling, which will be her best choice at the moment.
