Su Fengyi and Shen Quan wiped out the remaining Northern Tartar troops, took the head of the Northern Tartar prince, and returned in triumph.
Where to go becomes the question.
Shen Quan asked her:
"Where do you want to go, Your Highness? Are you going to find the whereabouts of the Emperor?"
Shen Quan had just defeated the little prince of the Northern Tartars in Xuanfu this morning when he received a letter sent by Su Fengyi.
Although the princess did not state it clearly in the letter, just as Su Fengyi guessed Shen Quan's ambush location at the first time, Shen Quan also guessed it at the first time that the princess would go to Qingbiankou in person and try to rescue the emperor.
A decisive battle is about to take place at Qingbiankou. If the eldest princess and the emperor were here, they would certainly face off against the fleeing northern barbarians.
Based on Shen Quan's understanding of the eldest princess, she will certainly try her best to protect the emperor and will never let him fall into the hands of the little prince of the Northern Tartars.
At that moment, Shen Quan changed his usual steady fighting style, took the lead, personally chased the remnants of the Northern Tartar soldiers, and charged straight into the Northern Tartar army, taking a leader with one step, and killing the Northern Tartar soldiers until they cried for their parents and pissed themselves in fear.
This heroic fighting style frightened the soldiers nearby, who suspected that General Shen had been imprisoned for too long, which led him to go on such a killing spree.
But although Shen Quan's fighting style was aggressive, he actually remained absolutely rational in his heart. What he wanted to do was to put pressure on the little prince of the Northern Tartars, making him panic and eager to escape.
When people are panicked or busy, they cannot spare enough time to think about and respond to unexpected situations, and they will make mistakes.
The more mistakes the little prince of the Northern Tartars makes, the greater the chances of the eldest princess's plan succeeding.
Su Fengyi and Shen Quan had never met each other, but with trust in each other, they completed this cooperation from a distance and jointly killed the foreign enemies.
Just as Shen Quan asked, Su Fengyi was indeed a little worried about the emperor.
Such a long time has passed, and I don’t know whether Wutong has brought the emperor back to Jimingyi safely.
However, the little princes of the Northern Tartars are all dead, so even if there are still a small number of remnant Northern Tartar soldiers, the danger to the emperor has dropped sharply.
The mountains and rivers are vast. In this situation, if you want to find someone, it is natural to send a team to look for them. This is more efficient than looking for them alone.
So Su Fengyi asked Shen Quan:
"General Shen, are you going back to Qingbiankou or Xuanfu? If you are going back to Xuanfu, can you send someone to look for the emperor's whereabouts? The emperor is wandering outside, and I am really worried."
Shen Quan was also planning to return to Xuanfu, and said:
"That's what Shen was thinking. The battle at Qingbiankou has been decided. General Yan will take care of it. The whereabouts of the emperor is more important."
So the two of them agreed to return to Xuanfu to discuss it further.
General Shen hung the head of the little prince of the Northern Tartars on his horse and led the way, while Su Fengyi followed closely behind on horseback.
On the way back to Xuanfu, we passed by a farmhouse with a yard and a wide open gate. Opposite the farmhouse was a pond with summer lotus in full bloom.
General Shen suddenly got off his horse and signaled Su Fengyi:
"Your Highness, please wait a moment. Shen will be back soon."
Su Fengyi thought that General Shen probably knew this farmer and probably had something to do, so she said:
"General Shen, please make yourself at your leisure. I will wait for you here."
General Shen then went into the farmer's house to look for someone. After a while, a little girl of seven or eight years old ran out of the farmer's house barefoot.
The little girl rushed to the pond, nimbly picked a lotus leaf from the pond, and rushed to the door again, just in time to meet the eyes of Su Fengyi who was riding on a horse.
The little girl grinned at Su Fengyi, and when she turned her head, she saw General Shen's adult head hanging on his horse.
Su Fengyi's heart skipped a beat. If she had known, she should have covered the head with a wrap. Seeing a head so suddenly would scare even an adult, let alone a little girl, to death.
What should we do if such a little girl gets scared into something bad or starts crying?
Su Fengyi was just about to comfort her and tell her not to be afraid.
Xuanfu was indeed a frontier town where everyone was a soldier. When the little girl saw such a big head, she was not afraid at all. Instead, she asked excitedly:
"Did we win the battle?"
Su Fengyi nodded:
"Yes, we won the battle."
After hearing Su Fengyi's words, the little girl became even more excited and asked:
"Did you kill this man?"
Although she didn't know why she asked this, Su Fengyi still answered:
"Yes, I killed him."
The little girl was not only excited, but also looked at Su Fengyi with eyes full of envy and admiration:
"Ah! Ten taels of silver! Sister, you are so amazing!"
At this time, General Shen and the farm owner came out of the house. The owner said to the little girl:
"Have you finished picking it? If you have, please send it to this military officer as soon as possible."
The little girl moved her envious eyes away from the head of the little prince of the Northern Tartars, rushed back, and handed the lotus leaf to General Shen.
General Shen thanked the host, drew water from a well in the yard, and washed the lotus leaves three times.
After washing the lotus leaves, General Shen fetched a new bucket of water, filled half of the lotus leaves with water, and walked towards Su Fengyi.
Shen Quan held the lotus leaf in front of her and said:
"It is summer now. If you lack water, you will easily get heat stroke. Your Highness has not had any water all day. We are on a march and our vehicles are simple. Please do not despise us and drink some for now."
Su Fengyi took the lotus leaf filled with half a handful of water, and realized belatedly that General Shen suddenly stopped not because he had something to do with the farmers, but to find water for himself.
In the rush of chasing the enemy today, Su Fengyi lost her water bag. Although her throat was so thirsty that it was about to smoke, she did not make a sound.
Who would have thought that General Shen, though seemingly rough, was actually so careful that he even paid attention to this.
Su Fengyi thanked him and took it. She had been thirsty the whole day and it was hot in the summer. When she came across a handful of clear water with the fragrance of lotus leaves and freshly drawn from the well, it was as refreshing as the wine of heaven.
Su Fengyi drank it all in one breath and said with a smile:
"Thank you, General Shen, for your concern."
Shen Quan took the lotus leaf and said with a smile:
"It's just a small thing, why should I thank you? It's not even one ten-thousandth of what Your Highness has done for me."
On the way back to Xuanfu again, looking at the figure of General Shen in front of him, Su Fengyi was puzzled. Isn't General Shen quite good at talking?
Why was I so tough in the past and offended Qiao Gui?
After returning to Xuanfu, General Shen took Su Fengyi directly to the military camp. At the military training ground, the commander-in-chief was checking the list of military merits in this battle.
General Shen threw the head of the little prince of the Northern Tartars directly onto the governor's desk and said:
"Remember, Your Highness, the Princess, kill one enemy commander, three armored soldiers, and a hundred soldiers."
General Shen's words were like thunder from a clear sky, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.
Su Fengyi only felt that the eyes of all the soldiers present at this moment were exactly the same as those of the little girl from the farm family.
It was burning envy and admiration.
The envy and admiration reached its peak after the governor wrote her a note redeemable for 2,300 taels of silver.
