The concubine will not accompany you: General, Madam ran away again

Chapter 623 Battle Situation
A man in black jumped down from the roof, and Mu Shuyao took a closer look. It was Yuan Fei, who had been following Chu Yuchen's personal bodyguard all along. Seeing that he was in a hurry, with bloodshot eyes, he must have come in a hurry.

"Yuan Fei, why are you?"

Mu Shuyao jumped down from the tree with a puzzled expression on her face. Shouldn't Yuan Fei follow Chu Yuchen on the western border at this time?How come you came back overnight?Even if there is something important, wouldn't it be enough for Feige to send a message?What is he doing back here?
However, seeing Yuan Fei panting heavily and looking tired, Mu Shuyao had no choice but to suppress the words and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Princess, just reward your subordinates with two cakes." Yuan Fei was not polite.

At this time, the movement on their side had already alarmed several maidservants, so Mu Shuyao simply ordered Vanilla and Parsley to move the small table in the house by herself, and serve tea and snacks.

The other went to the kitchen and got a bowl of steaming noodles, plus a grilled chicken leg, and served two plates of side dishes, "Here, don't be in a hurry, you should eat first."

Yuan Fei came here on a fast horse, and there were seven or eight days before and after, almost all of which were spent on horseback. Now he was hungry, smelling the aroma of the food, he couldn't avoid the wind, he took a bite of the chicken leg, and a bite of the noodle soup, alternately , Gobbled it up, and the food on the small table was wiped out in an instant.

"Princess, the general sent his subordinates here, and the letter did not make it clear. The truth is, our team has just arrived at the western border. Among Cangwu's 30 troops, [-] troops have already crossed the border and besieged the most peripheral treasure in Changxi. Huacheng. The main general is Cangwu general Hang Rui, and you also know the second prince Luo Hui who is traitorous."

Hearing this news, Mu Shuyao was really surprised. She was not surprised that Luo Yun would openly appear in the enemy army, but was surprised by the opponent's speed, "So fast?"

"Well, before I came out, I was still yelling and cursing in the city. The general led his troops out of the city to meet the enemy, and the fight was brutal."

The soldiers of Daqin are generally more sturdy, and the other side has plenty of food and grass. In comparison, their own side seems a little weak.

Moreover, Lin Yuchen had to beware of Luo Hui's previous betrayal, so he was even more passive.Fortunately, the opponent saw that the siege was not as easy as imagined, so he took the initiative to retreat.On the first day of the battle, Cang Wu must have just tried it out.

"Now the general is going to fight, and our Tianli soldiers are also setting up camp not far from the city gate. The distance between the two sides is only a dozen miles, surrounded by high mountains."

Speaking of this, Yuan Fei took out a sketch from his arms. This time, Cangwu made all the preparations, with strong troops and hundreds of chariots. Now the new food has not yet arrived at the front line, and the other party's food and grass are all ready. , it can be seen that this war has been planned for a long time.

"Recently, I will send someone to the west to check the situation, so that your generals don't have to worry about food, grass and medicinal materials." Mu Shuyao secretly rejoiced that Chu Yuchen had set off a few days earlier, otherwise there would be no general in the army, so the city would have to be closed If you don't come out, let the other party point their noses and scold their mothers, it will destroy morale.

Moreover, Luo Hui was also among the opponent's chief generals. Who knows if Chu Yuchen's troops were not there at that time, would someone have taken the opportunity to open the city gates to meet the enemy.

But I was really worried that spies would come out and reveal Chu Yuchen's battle plan.

And according to Yuan Fei, the price of food in the entire Baohua City has risen to a disastrous level, and this is only the first day of the war.Now many people in Changxi Mansion have not received the news, but within three days, the news will definitely spread throughout Changxi, and the price of food will definitely rise endlessly.

"Princess, don't worry too much. With the general's ability, there is no need to worry for now."

Yuan Fei has great confidence in his master. He is superior to Hang Rui in terms of force and strategy. However, the supply in the rear is worrying. He sent an urgent letter to the capital, and he still doesn't know if he will be intercepted.

What's more, the rear area turned out to be the old lair of the second prince, so I don't know if someone will play tricks.

Knowing that Yuan Fei was in a hurry to go back, Mu Shuyao didn't keep him any longer, but asked someone to wrap some snacks and bacon in oiled paper for him to eat on the way, and asked about the soldiers in the western barracks. Most of them eat stews without oily smell, and with a few big steamed buns, they can be full.

"Let your generals be more careful about the original western garrison. If it is impossible, put them under surveillance together with the prefect of Changxi." Mu Shuyao said, "Even if you apologize to the emperor afterwards, it's better than worrying about it all day long."

Mu Shuyao said that she sent someone to the west, and indeed she sent someone, and it was not just one person, it was a group of ten people, the leader of which was Li Gou, who used to be a time-conscious instructor in the military camp.

As soon as Mu Shuyao sent people out here, the people sent by Huarui over there took Yao Zongping and the Luo family to Beijing.

Although there were several murders of unknown origin along the way, there were still people who came over without any danger, and there were no casualties among the people who went to pick up the two.

At first, Yao Zongping and his wife were unwilling to set foot in the capital again, but when they finished reading the letter that Mu Shuyao asked someone to bring over, they were more motivated to set off than those who went to pick them up.

As soon as people entered the Li Palace, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

That night Mu Shuyao hosted a banquet in the small hall of Prince Li's Mansion to welcome the two of them.

Luo Shi anxiously took Mu Shuyao's hand and said, "Yao'er, you didn't lie to us, did you?" As she spoke, her eye circles were slightly red, she never thought that her daughter was still alive.

"Master, maybe I should call you aunt." Mu Shuyao calmly helped Luo Shi sit down and said, "How could I joke with you about this kind of thing, the emperor himself admitted it, if it wasn't too late today, I will let you enter the palace immediately to meet her."

"But at that time..." Thinking of what happened back then, Luo Shi felt that he was full of grievances and had no place to express it. Back then, Emperor Luo was so heartless, he ransacked his house as soon as he ordered it to be confiscated, he condemned him as soon as he said he was convicted, and he didn't even make a point of refuting. None were given to them.

"I don't know what happened at that time." Mu Shuyao said: "Or you can ask the emperor face to face now, no matter what, it is true that he saved my cousin's life."

Yao Zongping sipped his wine without saying a word. After hearing what Mu Shuyao said, he asked, "Yao'er, when did you know our identities?"

"When I came to the capital, after I heard about the Yao family, I asked someone to investigate secretly." She paused again and said: "I think the emperor here has helped a lot secretly, otherwise I It’s impossible to check it so smoothly.”

Of course, Mu Shuyao absolutely believed that with the people she trained, she would be able to find out this relationship sooner or later, but when she ordered someone to investigate, she already felt that someone seemed to be guiding her people intentionally or unintentionally. , let her know so quickly.
