Prince Consort

Chapter 30
Mutusu stood up abruptly, his originally pale face became even paler, and he said forcefully, "Hurry up and send people to support and rescue Old General Pei and Xian Xianfeng. In the ambush place in our army, send someone to draw Good map, summon all the generals and gather at the command camp."

"Yes." The soldier backed away quickly.

Mu Tusu didn't stay for a while, and immediately went to the command camp.

Bai Zhi froze in place, thinking, Pei Qi must be that Pei Xianfeng.In the dream, Bai Zhi met the well-known Pei Xianfeng, and heard that he lost his legs in a battle in order to save the old general Pei. He was such a good young man, and he could only live in a wheelchair from then on.In this life, when she saw Pei Qi for the first time, she was startled and felt similar, but it was because the portrait was somewhat different from her own, she had never thought of it...

Bai Zhi suddenly froze for a moment, as if she remembered something extremely important.

She hurriedly asked the military doctor: "Military doctor, do you know that this battle is an army of [-]?"

The military doctor looked at her suspiciously for several times and didn't answer, but from his eyes, she knew that she guessed right this time.If this is the case, then this is the battle, Pei Xianfeng lost his legs, Mu Tusu went to the rescue, and disappeared...

In the dream, he disappeared for more than three months before returning.Those three months were the most difficult days for Bai Zhi, but she firmly believed that Mu Tusu was not dead, he just couldn't come back for a while.What she never expected was that when he came back three months later, he brought back a woman who was the little princess of Nanzhao.He knelt in front of the hall for three days and three nights, begging the first emperor for a marriage.How crazy was he!Bai Zhi has never seen it.She could only hide under the eaves, crying without knowing what to say, feeling sorry for him, and even more for herself.It took that woman three months to make him love him so much; she spent two years, but she couldn't get him a simple smile. Is she not good enough, or is that woman too good?
Now, this time he will meet his beloved Princess Nanzhao.Bai Zhi pursed her lips and smiled self-deprecatingly.

That's fine too.

Bai Zhi holds Lightning and bids farewell to the military doctor.As soon as she walked out of the tent, she saw Pei Jiu coming out of her own tent in disheveled clothes. He looked flustered and pale, and while he was wearing his belt, he rushed towards the military commander's tent.

Bai Zhi stopped Pei Jiu from behind, "Ah Jiu."

Pei Jiu turned around and saw that it was Bai Zhi, and paused for a moment, his expression still flustered.Bai Zhi asked him: "Why do you look so preoccupied? What happened?"

"Just now I heard that the Imperial Forest Army fought fiercely with the Nanzhao Army. My father and Seventh Brother were in danger. I don't know what the situation is. I am very worried."

"Then what do you want to do? Go to the command camp to find out? What is your identity?" Compared to Pei Jiu's panic, Bai Zhi calmed down a lot.After all, she knows the ending.This will be the last battle of General Pei.As for the reason, Bai Zhi didn't know, maybe it was related to Pei Qi's broken feet.

Pei Jiu didn't care about it: "Even if you think I'm a spy, I will go. I only have my father and Seventh Brother. They can't have anything to do."

Bai Zhi was taken aback, she never expected that Pei Jiu would attach so much importance to the two of them.

Bai Zhi knew that she couldn't persuade him, so she could only give up and let him go.Instead of following, she went to the kitchen to ask for some bamboo to make a comfortable nest for Lightning.In her dream, she had raised pigeons, and she would do such a small thing very skillfully.

It took a long time to make a nest, and when she finally straightened her back, wiped the sweat from her brow, and sighed, she realized that she was starving again.She thought she should go out and find something to eat.When she opened her curtain, she found that a large group of elite soldiers, headed by Mu Tusu, were leaving the camp, probably to rescue Old General Pei and Xian Xianfeng.Bai Zhi watched batch after batch of soldiers leaving, feeling regretful.These soldiers left this time, and I'm afraid they won't be able to come back.When Mutusu went to the rescue, only a few people came back.They lost their lives, but Mu Tusu embraced the beauty, what kind of treatment!

Bai Zhi doesn't want to care about it, this is fate.

Maybe it was because the sky was late and it was light blue, but Bai Zhi saw Pei Jiu in military uniform.She blinked her eyes hard, and when she wanted to take a closer look, she could only see the back.Could it be that she was dazzled and misread?Bai Zhi was lucky and no longer guessed.She wanted to go to the kitchen to get some food, but when she passed a tent, she heard someone calling for help.Bai Zhi thought she heard it wrong, so she leaned against the tent and listened carefully, but there was still someone yelling for help intermittently in her ear.Bai Zhi immediately raised the curtain, smelling the smell of alcohol in the room, on the soldier's bed, she saw a man wearing obscene clothes and pants, tied tightly to the bed.Bai Zhi stepped forward and asked, "Who did it?"

"Young Master Ninth, he is wearing my battle uniform, pretending to be a soldier, and following General Mu to rescue Old General Pei and Xian Xian."

Wouldn't that be death?Bai Zhi secretly spat, turned around and hurriedly chased after them.

"Hey, help me loosen it first!" Bai Zhi didn't turn her head, and the poor soldier continued to shout, "Help, help!"

Bai Zhi was stopped by guard soldiers at the gate of the camp.The soldier said very seriously: "Now the situation is serious, I'm worried that my life will be in danger, so I'm strictly forbidden to go out, I still hope Miss Bai Haihan." Looking at the soldier's meticulous seriousness, Bai Zhi knew that if she forced her way in, she wouldn't be able to get out.

This main entrance is designated and cannot be exited.Bai Zhi withdraws tactfully.She didn't have too much time to delay. If she delayed for too long, even if she went out, she would not be able to catch up with them.What's more, the outside world leads in all directions, and she couldn't even find the direction after too long a delay.Bai Zhi often hangs out in the military camp in her dream, and she already knows the layout of the military camp.There will be a chicken hole behind the kitchen, which is specially dug by the chicken farmer for the chickens to look for food outside.

Bai Zhi found the chicken hole, and by visual inspection, she seemed to be able to climb out.But when she really crawled, she only crawled out halfway, her buttocks were a little big and stuck.This time she was neither advancing nor retreating, it was extremely painful.

"Huh? Where's the soldier? Want to sneak out?" After finally waiting for someone, Bai Zhi heard the chef's voice.She wanted to happily ask the chef for help, but thought it might take too long.

Bai Zhi deliberately lowered her voice: "Do me a favor, kick me hard. I fell behind because I was lazy to sleep, and now I am rushing out to catch up with the team."

"Why don't you go through the front door?"

"If you can't go through the main entrance, you will be discovered and punished."

"Is that so? Okay then. Did I kick you?"

"Well, kick hard, don't...don't be lenient." Bai Zhi raised her buttocks as if facing death, waiting for that kick!
The chef raised his leg and kicked it down hard.Bai Zhi received the forward momentum, her butt finally got out of the cock hole, and her body came out completely.Bai Zhi burst into tears from the pain, wiped her buttocks, and shouted tearfully to the kind cook: "I don't thank you for your kindness, wait for my triumphant return, and invite you to drink."

"Okay." The chef on the other side of the wall smiled honestly.

So, Bai Zhi looked for the direction while touching her butt.She had to go outside the main gate first, and then follow the horseshoe prints to find the team.Bai Zhi searched very hard, and after searching for a long time, she found the horseshoe print, and then followed to chase it.

As the sky got darker, Bai Zhi's heart beat faster. If she didn't catch up with this team before dark, the consequences would be disastrous.Thinking that Pei Jiu might not be able to come back, she began to curse that reckless boy in her heart, how could she be so rash and ignorant!Are you too confident in yourself?Or do you care too much about his father and Seventh Brother?Bai Zhi suddenly thought that Pei Jiu had said that he only had Old General Pei and Qianfeng Pei.What exactly is going on?Isn't Pei Jiu called Pei Jiu because he is ranked ninth?But she had never heard of the older brothers before him.Bai Zhi suddenly realized that she was only thinking about how to tease Pei Jiu and how to get him to marry her, but she never considered his family's affairs and his family's future.In her dream, she didn't bother to inquire about it, and only wanted Mutusu as she wanted. Now, she is still stubborn, only thinking one-sidedly, not comprehensively.

So is this her comeuppance?If she could catch up with Pei Jiu this time, she decided to get to know Pei Jiu and his family well.Since she chose him in the first place, she shouldn't hesitate.

Bai Zhi took a deep breath and looked at the road ahead, where no one was seen, it was gray and there was no end in sight.Whether the road ahead of her is bumpy or unimpeded, she has no way of knowing, and can only take one step at a time.The only thing she can think about now is to catch up with Pei Jiu and take him back.

Because this rescue is bound to end in tragedy.The Pei family at that time will also gradually decline, and the military power will be eroded one by one by Mu Tusu, who has embraced the beauty!

Bai Zhi followed the footsteps of the team step by step, she walked very hastily, for fear that she might miss something because of her slow walk.But seeing that she was about to leave the border area of ​​Guanghui Dynasty and enter the territory of Nanzhao Kingdom, Bai Zhi's worries became more and more intense.

Could it be that she also missed Pei Jiu in this life?
When she saw a figure swaying in front of her, she squinted her eyes, looked carefully again, and was overjoyed.She saw that the person sitting on the tall horse was not Mu Tusu?In the team behind him, there should be Pei Jiu.

Bai Zhi relaxed her heart and rushed away.She rushed into the team, looking for Pei Jiu one by one, no, no, still not...

Sitting on the tall steed, Mu Tusu looked at Bai Zhi in astonishment, and asked her, "Why are you here?"

Bai Zhi said: "Pei Jiu wears a soldier's military uniform and is mixed in with your team."

Mutusu was startled, squinting at the soldiers behind him, and ordered solemnly: "Find Pei Jiu."

The soldiers in the team looked at each other in blank dismay.Pei Jiu doesn't seem to be in the team?A major general rode forward: "General, just now you sent a small team from Major General Lu to investigate. Will the ninth son go with him?"

"Very likely." Mu Tusu nodded in agreement, his eyes fixed, and then turned to Bai Zhi, still so stern, "Go back."

"Can I be with you? I can also do some kung fu." Bai Zhi wanted to wait for Pei Jiu, so she asked Mu Tusu.

Unexpectedly, Mu Tusu refused: "No."

"It's not your fault that I'm dead." Bai Zhi said angrily.In the dream he didn't let her stay in the barracks because he disliked her.Now, that's not the case, why doesn't he let her stay?Mutusu ignored Bai Zhi's angry words, and said to a soldier beside him, "Send Miss Bai back."

Bai Zhi stared at Mu Tusu, but Mu Tusu pretended not to see her and ignored her.His indifference really hasn't changed at all!
Bai Zhi persisted for a while, and finally compromised.She can't lose her temper.At this moment, they had a task ahead of them, and she couldn't distract them.Even if she was worried about Pei Jiu, she could only wait for the news, so Bai Zhi had no choice but to follow the two soldiers back home.

Suddenly, right in front of him, several young generals with their faces covered in blood stumbled over and shouted with all their strength, "General."

Bai Zhi looked back, her heart sank, her mind was blank, and her ears were filled with humming.Major General Lu rushed over to meet the wounded soldiers.

"Miss Bai, let's go." The soldier next to him urged Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi gritted her teeth and nodded.

Bai Zhi also slowly walked away from Mutusu's team, looking back every five steps.She was unwilling to leave like this, but she had to leave again.She's a womanizer, so she can't help, and might even add to the chaos.No matter how ignorant she is, she should stop at it.

However, when she was so far away from them that she could only see their shadows vaguely, she heard a heart-piercing cry, as if someone had been hurt by someone's lifeblood.That voice is...Major General Lu's?This time, not only Bai Zhi looked back, but also the soldiers behind her looked back in astonishment, and shouted: "It's too bad, it looks like I've been tricked."

Bai Zhi said: "It's time to call for reinforcements, you run faster than me, you go quickly."

The soldier looked at her worriedly, then nodded solemnly, and ran towards the barracks.Bai Zhi anxiously hid in the grass by the roadside, she couldn't figure out what happened, she only knew that the soldiers who came back with blood just now seemed to be fakes.In fact, there were Nanzhao elite soldiers behind those fake soldiers, who took advantage of Mutusu's surprise and attacked them.The people in the distance are already in a mess, and they can't tell whether they are enemies or friends.There are many enemies, several times more than the one brought out by Mu Tusu.Only then did Bai Zhi realize that Mu Tusu came to save people, didn't he?How do you bring so few people?Is he too confident and feels that these people are more than enough, or is there another arrangement?
After a while, the figures became bigger and clearer, were they approaching her?Bai Zhi held her breath, but her legs were so stiff that she wanted to run away, so she could only stay where she was.

The other party has already come to her.

It was Mu Tusu and others.They were heavily surrounded by Nanzhao soldiers, Mu Tusu was shot by an arrow, and his sleeve was dyed red.They are at a disadvantage, and it is extremely difficult to kill a bloody path.But Mu Tusu and his soldiers did not compromise and continued to insist.Bai Zhi covered her mouth, her eyes widened, and tears rolled in her eyes.

Blood splattered everywhere, splashing on the grass, tree trunks, and the faces of living people. After a while, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.Bai Zhi didn't dare to vomit, only dared to cry silently.It was so cruel, so terrible... She had never seen such a scene.Although she knew that casualties on the battlefield were extremely normal, she had never seen it with her own eyes. Even though she went to the military camp many times in her dreams, as long as there was a war, Mu Tusu would send her away as soon as possible.

Mu Tusu's generals fell one by one, but Mu Tusu still brandished his sword tenaciously and resisted desperately.

If the rescuers don't come, Mu Tusu will be captured.Will she just sit and wait, or step forward to help?Presumably she would also lie down when she stepped forward.

Only Mu Tusu was left.Someone suddenly threw a cloud of powder at Mutusu, and Mutusu, who was originally vigorous, suddenly stopped, staggered a few steps, and couldn't tell the direction.

"General Mu, you should surrender. Are you unable to see clearly? This is our special Nanzhao medicinal powder. You should go back with us, the princess insists on capturing you alive."

Mu Tusu waved the big knife with anger on his face, and swung it twice. The veins on his forehead bulged, and he frowned in pain. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he stuck the big knife into the soil to support his body that was about to collapse.Bai Zhi saw all that happened, and her heart trembled. Did he go to Nanzhao like this before?
"General Mu, I can see that you are a person who values ​​love and righteousness. You have complied with our requests. We have sent back the old man surnamed Pei and the man with broken legs. At the beginning, I only ordered you to bring a Hundreds of soldiers are waiting here, you should expect to be captured alive."

"Hmph." Mu Tusu sneered, "Naturally, but wouldn't you think that I'm making a sudden attack? My main force has already attacked your big nest from behind."

The Nanzhao soldiers gritted their teeth.

"I'd rather die than follow you." He stood up suddenly, raised the big knife and wiped it on his neck.The leader of the Nanzhao people hurried forward to stop him, but unexpectedly, just as he met Mu Tusu, Mu Tusu stabbed him with a backhand, but put the knife on his neck: "Thank you, I can't see you, you automatically sent me to protect me. "

"You have been poisoned by the 'blind poison' specially prepared by our Nanzhao Imperial Teacher. With your kung fu, you can only last for a moment at most before you faint. A moment is not enough time for you to return to the barracks." The man held hostage by Mu Tusu suddenly fell ill Stiff, spitting blood.

Bai Zhi was shocked, he bit his tongue and committed suicide?

Mutusu also felt it, and immediately left the man behind, turned around and ran to the southwest.

He is blind, why is he running around?

Those Nanzhao soldiers followed behind him.

A quarter of an hour is but the blink of an eye.Bai Zhi thought, Mutusu would definitely be arrested.Unexpectedly, those Nanzhao people who pursued Tusu stopped and walked back.Bai Zhi only heard one person say: "Mu Tusu ran into the 'No Return Forest', do you want to tell the eldest princess about this?"

"You want to die? If you enter the 'Forest of No Return', you will definitely die. Even if you don't die, there are countless beasts there. Mutusu will faint in a quarter of an hour. He must be gnawed by the beasts. The princess specially ordered to capture him alive. We can't do it well , is there still a way out? Since Aris is dead, let him kill Mu Tusu by mistake."

"Yes."

Only after the Nanzhao soldiers had gone far away did Bai Zhi dare to emerge from the grass.She looked at the direction in which Mutusu was running.He will faint in a quarter of an hour, and the beast will definitely take the opportunity to eat him.Bai Zhi looked at the direction leading to the barracks again, but there was still no reinforcements in sight.

She had to go to the rescue.Bai Zhi picked up the big knife on the ground, touched the necessities of the soldiers, including daggers, long ropes and fire pockets.She endured the smell of blood and vomiting, and wrote six words on the ground with the blood of the deceased.

——Zi Hao entered the Forest of No Return.Zihao is Mutusu's handwriting, and most people can't understand it, but Bai Zhi wants people at the level of major generals to know it.
