Thinking

After the court meeting was over, Yu Ke whispered to Qi Si, "I'll go and tell my father, don't go to the north, there's something wrong with this."

Qi Si comforted him: "Some things must be done, don't worry, I will be fine, let alone helping Lu Yingqiu."

When King Jia came over, Yu Ke kept a distance from Qi Si calmly, suppressing her displeasure.

"Sixth Brother, this matter is a little bit hard, but it's not a bad thing, don't blame Brother Huang." King Jia was very sincere.

Qi Si smiled: "How come, since it's for the people of the Jin Kingdom, why should we be divided?"

The Northern Territory is already preparing for the war. It was unanimously agreed in the court that Prince Huai would go to the Northern Territory in person. Time was tight. Emperor Hongjia summoned Qi Si into the palace. What he had to do on this trip was to boost morale as Duke Huai, everything was up to Lu Yingqiu.

Qi Si wrote down the things that should be done one by one, and assured Emperor Hongjia of the things that should not be done. Only then did Emperor Hongjia feel relieved.

"If you do things safely, you can find a way to leave the court when you come back, otherwise this kind of thing will keep happening, which is also a problem." Emperor Hongjia sighed, leaning back on the back of the chair with a deep expression.

Qi Si bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty said so."

return?I'm afraid that many people will not want him to come back if they change their minds.

Yu Ke was most opposed to this matter, but he couldn't speak publicly for Qi Si in the court, and Qi Si also persuaded him, so he had to follow Qi Si's meaning.

"You are good at martial arts, but you have to be careful on the battlefield, and you have to be careful of the people around you." Yu Ke reminded, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Don't worry, there is Lu Yingqiu in the north, and he and I will take care of each other and be more careful."

Qi Si wiped the Chu Yaojian, put the sword on the table, took the Poli sword, and put it beside him.

The Poli Sword was sent by Great Liang to apologize to Qi Si when he was in Yan State, this sword was originally Rui Chu's sword when he was young.

At this time, looking at his father Rui Chu's Poli sword, and his mother Pei Fengjin's Chu waist sword next to him, Qi Si felt extremely peaceful in his heart.

He returned to the state of Jin, and was sent to the northern border so soon due to an accident. It was a coincidence, but there was some kind of destiny in the dark.

The northern border is the burial place where Rui Chu was murdered in the past, and it is also the place where countless conspiracies are finally directed.

On the third day, Ji Si went to the northern border as Prince Huai, with only the attendants of Duke Huai's residence arranged for him by Lu Yingqiu before his departure, and a few trusted subordinates.

On the day of departure, Jisi was wearing silver thin armor, with a slender and smooth body, sitting on horseback, with a Poli sword on his waist, and his gentle and jade-like temperament in the past was completely gone. Not seen, but a famous sword out of its sheath, with a faint edge.

"Going to the northern border, I will defend the territory with the general Lu, and I will not disgrace my life!" Qi Si cupped his fists and saluted, Emperor Hongjia and the surrounding courtiers and princes watched him off, and the palace people saluted deeply.

After receiving the decree and token, Qi Si led the lightly dressed entourage behind him, and the group of horses and horses walked out through the palace gate with the sound of hoofbeats, left Jiangliang City, and went to the northern border to reunite with Lu Yingqiu.

During this trip, Jisi will fight with the army as Vice General Lu Yingqiu. On the way, Jisi keeps receiving reports from the frontier army. Under the strong advice of the eldest prince, the speed of dispatching troops to the south of Daliang has been accelerated, and troops are constantly being mobilized. .

As a result, the deployment of defenses in the northern border of the Jin Kingdom was also accelerated under Lu Yingqiu's resolute command, and every second counted.

Qi Si led a group of people on a starry night journey, left Jingzhou, and finally arrived at the northern camp two hundred miles away.

"Your Majesty's will and the news that was uploaded all the way from Daying said that Vice General Di will lead people here to meet His Highness." Qi Si's subordinates confirmed.

Di Youliang is Lu Yingqiu's lieutenant general, he was supposed to bring people here to wait for them and take them to the camp, but there was no sign of him.

The wilderness here is uninhabited, and there are remnants of the ancient post nearby, backed by a mountain, and the wilderness ahead.

When we arrived here, it was already getting dark, and Qi Si sent people to investigate the situation, to take a rest and wait, so as not to miss Di Youliang.

In two quarters of an hour, the person sent out came back on horseback: "Your Highness, there is no trace of Lord Di."

Qi Si frowned, just after nightfall, he thought for a moment, and planned to go directly to the northern camp without waiting for Di Youliang.

A group of people were reorganizing their team and preparing to go on the road at night, but the nearby valleys and forests were full of turmoil. Birds returning to their nests rushed up like smoke shadows under the moon, and the branches and trees in the forest kept ringing in an instant.

Qi Si was startled, got on his horse, pressed his sword with one hand, and shouted: "Everyone get on the horse and prepare to meet the enemy!"

The momentary intuition accurately bought them an important time. Qisi's hundreds of people had been used to the young prince's neat orders all the way, so they mounted their horses quickly after hearing the orders, and the team gathered in an orderly manner.

In this short period of time, silent and chilling men and horses rushed out of the mountain forest, the sound of drawing knives was sharp and hoarse, one person gave an order, and the black mist-like men and horses rushed up shouting.

It's an ambush!

In the dark night, Qi Si took the lead, rushed out of the team, and shouted: "Don't disperse! It's a horse thief in Northern Xinjiang, attack hard!"

There were two hundred people on the other side, and they were scattered horse thieves in this area. They ambushed here, and he happened to overtake them.

Horse thieves have always been vicious and desperate, and Ji Si could not be soft, so he rushed forward first, drew out his Poli sword, swung it out, and fell to the ground everywhere he passed.

Qisi faced the enemy calmly, and the people in the team immediately woke up. The team of hundreds of people gathered together to resist the horse thief rushing out of the dark.

The horse thief soon realized that Qi Si's kung fu was unusual, a small group gathered and rushed towards Qi Si, and the rest quickly went to attack the team, striving for a quick victory.

"kill!"

"Give it all to me!"

Qi Si was firmly surrounded, holding the rein with one hand and a sword with the other, and confronted the surrounding horse thieves in the dark night.

"Two hundred miles away in the northern camp, all the soldiers want to fight to defend the country, but you are making trouble here!" Qi Si said angrily.

"If you can't be a soldier, and the government doesn't let people live, what else can you do if you don't make trouble?" The horse thief scolded.

"He knows nothing, I think they are officials, killing them all counts!" Another person spat.

Qi Si frowned, but before he could ask again, everyone rushed up with their swords, so Qi Si had no choice but to attack with his sword in his hand.

The horse thief has a lot of criminal records, and he took a ruthless decision. After a while, Qi Si decided that things had not turned around. He reined in the reins, and the horse kicked away the people in front. Break a hole under the siege.

Turning around and going out, he returned to the side of the team. The horse thief and the accompanying team of hundreds of people fought together. Fortunately, they all had kung fu skills. The people Lu Yingqiu left for him were not ordinary followers, so the arrangement made sense at this time.

The horse thief's numerical advantage was no longer so obvious, but Qisi's men were also injured, and Qisi couldn't protect everyone by himself, so he went out with one as ten, the swords rang in disorder, and the shouts were endless.

The horse thieves gradually realized that this time they had offended a tough guy. The leader gave an order and they all retreated. Qi Si didn't let anyone chase them, but just stared at them all retreating, and then quickly counted the wounded and sorted out.

Qi Si just suspected that this group of horse thieves was arranged intentionally, but now it seems that it was just a coincidence.

The place where Jingzhou came from is indeed poorly managed, but there is something wrong with those people hating the government here so much just now.

Qi Si checked the wounded in the team one by one, and found that the condition was not serious, so he planned to leave immediately and go directly to the camp.

"Who is it!" asked suddenly from behind the team.

Just now, the horse thief was in ambush, and the people in the team were very sensitive. This sound made many people draw their swords and knives immediately, and entered the defensive state again.

"Tsk tsk, so rude." A clear voice was a little lazy.

Ji Sile turned his horse's head and quickly ran to the end of the team, raised his hand to signal the people in the team along the way to relax, and said in a joyful tone, "Master!"

Chong Yi's moon white robe was not stained with dust, one person and one rider rushed over from nowhere, sat on the horseback and looked at Qi Si with a smile: "Did you fight?"

Qi Si looked back at the team and said with a helpless smile, "I met a horse thief just now."

Chong Yi raised his eyebrows: "Well, it's too late for the teacher."

"Master, why did you come here to find me?" Qi Si motioned for the team to set off, and he and Chong Yi followed alone behind the team.

"I heard that you are going to go to the battlefield. After thinking about it, I still have to take a look." Chong Yi said.

Qi Si said to reassure him, but suddenly remembered something, and said, "Master, it doesn't matter to me, but Yu Ke is in Jiangliang City. I am a little worried. Can Master go and guard him for a while?"

Just now when the horse bandits raided, Qi thought that Yu Ke was in Jiangliang City, Lin Yu and King Jia were so sensitive, if Yu Ke was found out, it might be bad for him.

Chong Yi thought for a while, then he understood, and nodded: "Alright, I see that you are very safe, so I don't have anything to worry about, I'm going to break through."

Qisi and Chongyi met briefly, and Chongyi went to Jiangliang City. Qisi led his men to speed up Emperor Su to the camp.

Fifty miles later, a rider in front of him came under the moonlight. The man had sharp ears and eyes, and was skilled in riding. He could distinguish Qisi's team from a distance, and without hesitation, he came up to him: "His Royal Highness Huai!"

Qi Si raised his hand to stop the team. Seeing the man approaching quickly, he reined in his horse and got down on one knee, bowing on one knee: "His Royal Highness, General Di is waiting in front. Please forgive me for being late!"

It seems to be Di Youliang's scouts.

Qi Si signaled him to be polite, and reached out to take the token handed over by the man, who was indeed under Lu Yingqiu's command.

"Why did General Di come late? The predetermined place is only two hundred miles away from the camp." Qi Si said without emotion.

Di Youliang was supposed to come to meet with Qi Si and the others, but he came late, and taught Qi Si and the others that they had met a horse thief, and it was hard to absolve themselves of the blame.

Back then, Qi Si and Yu Ke were brought back to Jiangliang, the imperial capital, from Luyang City by Di Youliang himself. Di Youliang was dressed in a black military uniform with a solemn expression, and he didn't say much all the way. That's all my impression, I don't know this person well.

The scout bowed his head and reported: "Your Highness, General Di didn't come late on purpose. Please discuss this matter in the camp again. At that time, we will deal with it according to the discipline of the army."

Qi Si frowned slightly, what unspeakable secret happened to Di Youliang?
