Chapter 414: Madam's Escape Almost Cost Me My Life 1
Since the border was lost, Xiling was like a wolf seeing meat, rushing in frantically through the torn hole, and the number of people once soared from 300,000 to 500,000.
The goal is clear. They not only want to take back the lost land, but also take the opportunity to bite off the tough bone of Zhou Yuan.
According to Meng Jiao's plan, Zhou Yuan's army fought and retreated to preserve their strength, and then rushed towards the mountains and forests in a panic. They did not prevent the enemy from becoming suspicious, and launched several large-scale counterattacks along the way, consuming several young enemy generals.
Later, judging from their counterattack, it seemed that they had killed the real culprit, but I don’t know whose son he was.
The sun was high in the sky, the heat was rolling, the air in early summer was already as hot as a furnace, steaming endlessly.
Meng Jiao was already sweating profusely under the mask, but she could only suppress it.
Qian Kun approached the shadow group with dried meat and a water bag. Looking at the group of people dressed exactly the same, even he couldn't tell which one was Meng Jiao.
"Boss, there's a letter from the capital."
Ok, now I know which one is...
That night, Zhou Yuan's army reorganized again, but was forced to retreat one city again when reinforcements arrived from the rear.
As soon as the news came out, not only the common people in Zhou Yuan, but even the court officials began to panic.
At this time, the two parties who were fighting fiercely finally realized that if Zhou Yuan was gone, there would be no point in them arguing about who would win or lose.
So the ministers in the court expressed their opinions one after another, but at the end of the discussion, they realized that they could not think of anyone else who could resist Xia Yi's army except the girl from the Qin family.
Zishu He Xuan is the only person who knows Meng Jiao's plan, but he keeps the court awake at night and finally surrenders to the Xia army and submits a letter of surrender.
He just couldn't stand these people. Why should his wife fight to the death on the front line while these heartless people were questioning his wife's ability?
Thinking of this, his eyes turned cold, and he engraved all the faces of those who had said bad things about his wife into his mind.
When the lady turns over, that will be the day they die.
The waning moon was hanging high in the sky. Meng Jiao took off her silk armor and carefully untied the belt around her waist.
The last layer of white cloth slowly fell down, and the obviously protruding belly could no longer be concealed.
Everything went more smoothly than she had imagined. The arrogance of the Xia army, the weakness shown by the court, the continued high temperature weather during the Great Heat season, and the seed in her belly, everything was moving in a direction that was favorable to her.
But now she can only use the Shadow Army to hide herself. When all the Xia troops enter Yelan Mountain, she is afraid that she will really have to take her baby to the battlefield.
Thinking of this, she reached out her hand and touched it nervously. She had been eating dried meat and drinking cold water for days, and she didn't know if the baby in her belly would be malnourished. She endured the nausea and swallowed a lot of beneficial grass, hoping that the baby would not be skinny when he was born.
Perhaps sensing her, a warm current started from her belly and flowed through her body, curing all her fatigue in recent days. Meng Jiao cried out in surprise,
"Hey~ You really are your father's offspring. I'm your mother, little one."
baby:......
In July, the height of summer, all of Zhou Yuan's troops retreated to Zhou Mountain in Yelang, where they built camps overnight and set up checkpoints at every level.
The sun was blazing, the heat was oppressive, and the air was filled with an invisible anxiety, as if even breathing made my throat sore.
The sun shines down mercilessly, the earth groans under the scorching heat, the grass and trees droop, and life is hard to find.
The Xia army pressed forward step by step, but Yelang Mountain was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Every time they captured the mountain stronghold, they would waste more time.
However, they found that Zhou Yuan's soldiers were indeed cunning. Whenever they destroyed the front camp, a new camp would quickly be rebuilt a few miles away.
The Xia army was so angry that they cursed loudly and challenged each other at the foot of the camp every day, insulting their leader and provoking the generals, trying to lure the people out before starting a battle.
Of course, Meng Jiao's situation was not as good as it appeared. As powerful as they were when fighting against Nanjiang, they were helpless when facing Xia Yi and his men.
There were quite a few people who made trouble, but Meng Jiao never wasted time explaining herself.
Anyone who disobeys military orders will be killed!
The Xia army, which received no response, could only choose to break into the stronghold. To prevent being outflanked, the soldiers in the rear camped on the spot.
In their anger, they did not realize that they had lost their way in the mountains and were heading towards the direction of Meng Jiao's plan.
It was the scorching heat of August, the grass and trees withered, and the branches and leaves curled up. Seeing the entire Xia army marching into Yelan Mountain, Meng Jiao, wearing heavy armor, stepped onto the last line of defense of Tiebi Pass.
As the sky gradually darkened, the leader of the Xia army excitedly broke through the last camp. He knew that this was Zhou Yuan's last line of defense.
However, before she could smile triumphantly, she saw from afar the familiar mask that was almost engraved into her soul.
"Mr. Qin, return my son's life to me."
Now we know whose son it is, but unfortunately, he has to die!
Meng Jiao's eyes were stern and her voice was loud, drowning out all the restlessness at the scene.
"ignition!"
The voice was like gold and jade, resounding to the ground. In the terrified eyes of the Xia army, countless torches and flaming bows and arrows came overwhelmingly.
The grass and trees were already extremely dry, and the flames just licked them lightly, causing the sea of fire to spread rapidly.
The Xia army watched the torches coming towards them but was powerless to do anything. At this moment, they no longer cared about the formation. Everyone just wanted to survive, and they fled madly, stepping on the people around them.
The screams from the crowd were endless, and the smell of burning was extremely pungent. Looking at the escaped fish that kept rushing to the top of the mountain, Meng Jiao raised the spear in her hand and shouted,
"My fellow men of Zhou Yuan, listen to my command. Blood debts must be repaid with blood. No one shall be left alive! Kill!"
"kill!"
Nan Xiao obeyed the order and took the lead with great momentum. The Qin family army followed closely behind, letting out a suppressed roar before victory!
"kill!"
Zhou Yuan's army moved in full force, and the disorganized Xia army was unable to resist and tried to retreat.
The fire spread mercilessly over hundreds of miles, and only then did everyone understand the significance of the existence of the previous camps.
The battle lasted for several days, and more than 200,000 of the Xia army's 500,000 troops were killed on the spot. The rest of the remnants were either dead or wounded, and all surrendered.
A turnaround finally came to an end. Meng Jiaoli was on the top of the mountain overlooking the bloody wreckage below.
The area burned by the fire was gray and monotonous, and even his soldiers were covered in dust.
War is always cruel, but fortunately, they won.
I think the remaining 200,000 people in West City should also hear the news and march into Xiling. For the next hundred years at least, Zhou Yuan won't have to suffer from war anymore.
Reaching out and stroking the golden hairpin in his hair, Qian Kun glanced at the turbulent water behind him after seeing the instructions.
Take a deep breath, jump up,
However, before he could reach out and push, a short blade pierced through the silver armor very quickly.
Qian Kun only heard a "puff..." sound as it entered the body, and his boss fell backwards.
Everyone was exhausted, and it was too late to draw their bows and arrows.
"Boss!"
"General!"
Meng Jiao spat out blood and pulled out her hairpin, secretly cursing the Shadow Group for being so damn obedient, it hurt so much!
Qian Kun stood there stupidly, the boss lied to him,
In fact, Meng Jiao disliked the fact that he didn't know martial arts, and anyone would think that was fake, so she temporarily replaced him.
Qian Kun didn't have time to think about it. The next moment, he was hit hard on the chest and was blown away...
Damn, the letter that the boss asked me to send has not been sent yet...
Nan Xiao's pupils dilated and he shouted at the top of his lungs. He slapped Qian Kun with one palm and then jumped down without any hesitation.
The hairpin was stuck into the side of the cliff, and Meng Jiao watched helplessly as a mass of dirt fell from it.
Less than a moment later, there was another pile...
No, what kind of fun is this fake death? And why do they do it in groups?
Who were those two just now? She didn't have time to see clearly...
At this time, Meng Jiao didn't know that the letter she asked Qian Kun to send had fallen into the water with him. Naturally, the pregnancy and fake death mentioned in the letter could not be reported back to the palace.
Just like that, half a month after the end of the war, because of Meng Jiao's image as a stabilizing force in the hearts of Zhou Yuan people, the news that she was stabbed in the heart and fell into a turbulent river and her whereabouts have been unknown since then was temporarily blocked.
The people who had searched in vain did not dare to jump to conclusions and rushed to the Imperial Capital City without stopping at night.
At that time, Zishu Hexuan, who had not received any news from Mengjiao for a long time, had just come out from the old man who was unwilling to sell the garden.
He visited the old man more than ten times in a row, and the old man was so annoyed by him that he finally told him the reason.
The back hill of the original medicine garden was planted with crape myrtle trees by him and his wife. After taking care of them for so many years, he had come to regard those trees as a symbol of his remembrance for his late wife.
Today, he held the marriage certificate with the official seal of himself and Jiaojiao, hoping to find resonance with it.
After all, the medicines here are the oldest and most effective among the several medicine gardens he has found.
As for the crape myrtle tree on the back hill, maybe Jiaojiao will be very happy to see it when she comes back.
I wanted to give it a try, but when he took out the marriage certificate and tried to explain the reason,
When the old man saw that what he was holding was actually the marriage certificate with Jiaojiao, he didn't even ask the reason and agreed happily.
Even the look she gave him was no longer defensive like before, but instead contained a hint of appreciation and admiration.
After leaving the medicine garden, Zishu Hexuan looked at the land deed in his hand and for the first time truly felt the prestige of his wife among the people. He had to say that as her lover, he really felt a sense of pride.
"Master, the messenger from the border has entered the city."
Upon hearing this, Zishu Hexuan quickly restrained his expression, got into the carriage and rushed towards the palace.
At this time, in the hall, various forces had known about Zhou Yuan's victory early in the morning because of their concern, and they were just waiting for the news to arrive so that they could congratulate him.
The incident of Meng Jiao falling off a cliff was of great importance. Except for the Qin family soldiers who were on the main peak at that time, the rest of the people who knew about it had all been controlled.
So when Zishu Hexuan arrived, what he saw were the ugly faces of several court officials who were watching the fun and not minding the trouble.
"The Prince of Chang'an has won another victory. He is now a first-rank general and there is no higher title he can be given. I wonder what the Emperor should give the Prince of Chang'an to reward him for his ability to pacify the world."
"Seal? This has been the symbol of arms and armor since ancient times. On the left is Cai Jun, and on the right is Cai Du. Whenever a soldier is wearing armor and has more than 50 soldiers, he must present the Jun symbol. Has she asked the emperor about her attack on Xiling this time?"
Zishu Hexuan, who had taken everything in, pursed his lips slightly, and the sinister look between his eyebrows quietly spread throughout his body.
Seeing this, several officials from the Queen Mother's party nearby swallowed their saliva and moved further away from the court officials.
These people are among the few who know that Zishu Hexuan is married to that person. Others only know that Zishu Hexuan seems to be preparing a banquet recently, which seems to be a wedding banquet, but they don't know who the other party is.
As for the people who are talking nonsense in front of me, I am afraid that when the emperor dies, most of them will have to die with him...
The confused prince arrived late, and finally sat on the high seat before the messenger entered the palace.
However, the messenger rushed into the hall. Unlike the joy that everyone imagined, his face was more anxious and fearful, and his voice was trembling.
Zishu Hexuan's heart subconsciously "skipped" and a bad premonition spread throughout his body.
He clenched his sleeves nervously and stared at the person kneeling on the ground in the middle of the hall.
"Your Highness, the battle on the front line has ended and our army has won a great victory, but... General Qin was unfortunately assassinated and fell off a cliff. His whereabouts are unknown. We have been searching all night, but so far... we have not been able to find any trace of him."
“————Buzz——”
Zishu Hexuan stood there in a daze, as if he had been struck by lightning.
There was a constant, piercing buzzing in his brain, strangling all his thoughts.
All the chaos before him was completely isolated from him. There was no sound at all and the world was so quiet that it seemed as if he was the only one left.
His heart was being mercilessly beaten wildly in his chest by a hand, causing him to tremble uncontrollably in pain.
His mind clearly questioned the impossibility countless times, but his limbs were numb and he even had difficulty breathing, let alone reacting.
No, why is it his Jiaojiao...
She said she would come back, it was fake, all fake...
The ministers in the court were still discussing that half a month had passed, and so many soldiers had not found the body.
And under the cliff there is the Xiangke River, I'm afraid...
"Ugh~" His stomach cramped, Zishu Hexuan's lips turned pale, and he finally couldn't help but retching.
Someone close to Zishu Hexuan noticed that something was wrong with him. Unsure of the reason, they went forward to check, but were suddenly met with a pair of empty and dead eyes.
Before he could ask, the man in front of him lost focus and fell to the ground...
"Imperial Physician, tell the Imperial Physician quickly!"
----
In a blink of an eye, Zishu Hexuan had been in a coma in bed for three days.
During these three days, no matter which imperial physician came to examine him, they all said that he was just asleep and there was nothing they could do.
It was also because of his coma this time that his marriage to Meng Jiao was completely exposed.
After learning about his situation, Su Yin and Yue Nishang took the time to visit him twice, but finding it useless they could only sigh and leave, leaving to bear the anger of the royal family for their secret marriage.
Seeing the person on the bed getting thinner day by day, he couldn't eat anything.
Qi Cheng's eyes turned red with despair, and as a last resort he took out the letter his master had written to his mistress.
He choked up as he recited every little ordinary thing, until the evening, when the person on the bed miraculously moved.
Zishu Hexuan on the bed suddenly sat up, a flash of gold in his pupils, and then he turned to him with cold eyes.
"What time is it now?"
At this moment, Meng Jiao, who was far away in a small village, had a bulge in her belly for a moment, but then she quickly calmed down.
The little confused girl who was aware of it in her sleep gently reached out her hand to comfort the baby in her belly, her mouth slightly opened, and she mumbled,
"My dear, your father is a bastard. When you come out, don't recognize him."
