"What's the matter?" Luo Fengxin saw Qiao Wan turning the cloth over and over several times, and approached and asked.

Qiao Wan showed her the side with the writing on it: "I think it's a bit weird. The writing is crooked, not Yue Xiu's usual handwriting. Of course, since it is a blood book, it means that the situation is critical when writing the letter, and she may have been injured. , unable to write normally. But look at this..."

As Qiao Wan spoke, she took out a piece of silk cloth from her bosom, which was exactly the piece that Luo Fengxin got from the messenger's belt before.Since Luo Fengxin was wearing armor and it was inconvenient to carry it with him, Qiao Wan kept this piece of silk cloth.

Qiao Wan had already read the content on the cloth, it was a secret edict written by Luo Jinhe himself, there was no problem from handwriting to printing.The secret edict stated that the empress dowager Chen, Taishi Chen, and King Pingxiang were all treacherous ministers and rebels. They ordered Princess Leping to fight against the thieves, and declared that after her death, the throne would be passed on to Princess Luo Fengxin of Zhenguo Leping.

For such an important edict, in addition to handwriting and seals, there will be some other anti-counterfeiting means.Qiao Wan has followed Luo Jinhe for several years, and the two sides have agreed on a few key words, so she can be sure that this secret edict is not forged.

So the crisis in the capital must be real, but...

"Look, the handwriting of this secret edict is clear, and it was obviously not written in a hurry. His Majesty must have noticed the change of the Queen Mother and the others, and felt that he was not in good health, so he wrote it down before the turmoil happened. Besides, you dismantled it The neat stitches of the belt also confirmed that he was prepared.

But it wasn't until Empress Cao secretly took him out of the palace that the secret edict was taken away by the person who gave it to Empress Cao. I think it's not that he didn't think about contacting us in advance, but he couldn't.It is likely that the palace, the gates of the capital and the major traffic routes to and from the palace had already been controlled by the Chen family at that time.

We are still confronting King Zhengxi, he will definitely want to delay us as much as possible, and deal with the Chen family for a little longer, so he didn't send anyone to break in. "

Qiao Wan paused at this point, and opened the bloody letter again: "It would be too strange if this is the case. It is not a small move to deploy defenses in the capital and set up obstacles at various passes. It is impossible for Yue Xiu not to notice it. How did it come to this point? Did you just send us a letter? It stands to reason that her news should come faster than Empress Cao's, unless..."

Qiao Wan didn't think Yuexiu would betray her, she was more inclined to listen to what might happen to Feng, Yuexiu was too busy to take care of herself and couldn't send her any news, and this blood letter...

"I think this is a trap. The two secret letters contradict each other. Since His Majesty's imperial edict is true, then this bloody letter must be false. Besides, Yuexiu is always cautious when spreading news, and rarely writes the content directly like this. Mostly in secret language, this letter doesn’t look like it was written by her.”

After hearing Qiao Wan's conclusion, Luo Fengxin took the piece of cloth with blood written on it: "Guangfu Temple is a trap, which means they should be in Shengde Palace."

"From these two letters, I speculate that this is the case, but... there are contingencies in everything. In case Yuexiu encounters some emergency and has been stuck, he finally found an opportunity to send us a letter. Time is running out. I can't write too many words, I only hurriedly wrote the most important content..."

Qiao Wan was a little hesitant. When she comforted Luo Fengxin the day before yesterday, she said that she could find out where she was after a little inquiring, but in fact it was not that simple.

The vicinity of the capital must have been surrounded by King Pingxiang. They couldn't wait until the outskirts of Beijing to decide which way to go. They had to determine their destination in advance and try to avoid King Pingxiang's troops.Once she made a mistake, Luo Fengxin and her subordinates, including Luo Jinhe, Empress Cao, and the [-] imperial troops led by Qu Hao, might all be finished.

"Speaking so hesitantly, it doesn't look like you anymore." Luo Fengxin rolled up the blood book and secret edict and handed it to Qiao Wan for safekeeping, then took Qiao Wan's hand.

"I still remember the year when we got married, you analyzed the situation of the world for me in the study, you made fun of Zheng Wei and the others, you accompanied me to the Longtan Tiger's Den in Qianyang City, and you told me when you missed it... …Everything you have encountered before, no matter what time you are confident, you can turn your opponent into a pawn on your chessboard while talking and laughing, and you can do whatever you want."

Recalling the past, Qiao Wan was stunned for a moment: "That's because..."

"Hush——" Luo Fengxin put her index finger on Qiao Wan's lips, and intercepted the second half of Qiao Wan's words, "That's because caring makes chaos, I know. But when you are facing a crisis, the current you and the previous you It makes no difference, you should trust your own judgment and intuition."

Qiao Wan closed her eyes and took a deep breath.Ah Feng is right. The reason why she is so vacillating is because the person she is going to rescue is her beloved, and because the person waiting to be rescued is her valued person. If all these factors are put aside...

"I think they are in the Shengde Palace." She opened her eyes and said firmly.

There is never a 100% absolute statement about the situation and people's hearts. Everything has risks. Self-confidence and decisiveness may not necessarily win, but indecision will definitely lose.

"This is the little bowl I know." A faint smile appeared on Luo Fengxin's face. She approached Qiao Wan, kissed Qiao Wan's forehead lightly, and separated after a short pause.

Qiao Wan was startled, this was outside, and there were so many soldiers watching!

She blushed and looked around. Fortunately, Hai Dongqing landed in the woods, dozens of steps away from the resting troops.It was the time when they were sleepy at noon. These soldiers were either eating dry food or had already finished eating and took a short nap as soon as possible. No one looked at them.

Well, there are, just three or five people, the impact is not big.

Qiao Wan scratched Luo Fengxin's palm, bent her eyes and smiled at Luo Fengxin.This was the first time she laughed in the past few days, and the smile of her beloved was indeed a cure for everything, and instantly made her heart, which was covered in haze and heavy like a boulder, lighten up.

It's just that under the current pressure, although the two of them have eased up a lot emotionally, they are not in the mood to joke.

Luo Fengxin turned around and glanced at the resting soldiers one by one.

"It's too slow to march like this. According to what you said, the emperor's side is probably more dangerous than we previously imagined. They don't have the opportunity to store food on a large scale in Shengde Palace in advance, which will definitely arouse Grand Master Chen's vigilance. Sixty thousand forbidden troops It consumes [-] shi of food a day, and even these forbidden soldiers each carry three to five days' worth of food with them, plus the original food stored in the palace, it is only enough for half a month.

It took nearly four days for that person to deliver the message from the capital, and we walked for another three days on the road. According to the current speed, we will have to walk at least another ten days to reach the capital. I'm afraid it will be too late by then. "

"Then what do you mean?" Qiao Wan asked.

Luo Feng said in his heart: "I want to take some people first to rescue the emperor and the others. You follow the rest of the people and bring your luggage and go to the capital to meet us at the current speed."

The rapid march has high requirements on the endurance of the soldiers, and also has high requirements on the experience of the generals in commanding the troops.On the one hand, the general has to urge the soldiers to move quickly, and on the other hand, he must try his best to preserve their physical strength to ensure that they have enough strength to go into battle later.

Luo Feng has no shortage of experience. When she was in charge of the Northern Army, her subordinates were known as "quick as the wind". The trouble is the endurance of the soldiers.

This cannot be improved overnight, and requires a lot of training. All the soldiers recruited before the war this year could not meet the requirements, and those recruited last year were also very reluctant. Only the soldiers recruited in the first year and those brought from the capital is qualified.

"Will it be too dangerous?" Qiao Wan didn't know the strength of the Minzhou Army as well as Luo Fengxin did, and she had no idea how much combat capability she would have after the hasty march.

"It's feasible." Luo Feng said in his heart, "King Pingxiang didn't expect us to come so fast. I don't need to use this little people to fight them to the death. I just need to work together with Qu Hao to break through their siege and help the emperor and the imperial army retreat to the source. The state is fine."

The capital city can be regarded as one of the most solidly fortified places in the Yu Dynasty. If the capital city has fallen, it will be difficult for them to take it back in a short period of time when the strength of both sides is equal. Still not as good as King Pingxiang.

In addition, the Minzhou army rushed for a long distance, and Qu Hao's imperial army was besieged for many days. They may win by a sudden surprise attack. If the time is longer, they will definitely not be able to defeat King Pingxiang and his Huakang army who are waiting for work. They must find a safe place first. A place for soldiers to rest and adjust before counterattacking.

Luo Fengxin proposed Yuanzhou, but Yuanzhou is not a good place... First, the local defenders in Yuanzhou are weak, and the grain and grass stored in it have been supplied to the counter-insurgency army to deal with King Zhengxi. The route to transport grain from Minzhou is very far. Chen Qiuming There are still tens of thousands of horses who have not withdrawn, and they may turn around at any time to intercept their supplies.

"Well, you take someone to the palace to rescue him, and Nanzhu and Luan Yu and I will go to Yinzhou." Thinking about this, Qiao Wan immediately made a decision.

As soon as Luo Fengxin heard Qiao Wan say that he was going to Yinzhou, he knew what Qiao Wan was thinking.Of course she knew that Yuanzhou was not good enough, but Yinzhou had a deep military base, sufficient food and grass, and was closer to Minzhou. It would be great if Yinzhou could be withdrawn.

only--

"If I remember correctly, Xu Xiaowen, the governor of Yinzhou, was transferred to this position by bribing Grand Master Chen. He has also vented his anger with Grand Master Chen all these years. I am still worried whether he will send troops to help Grand Master Chen attack For us, it is impossible for him to switch and let us in."

Facing Luo Fengxin's doubts, Qiao Wan said indifferently: "Perhaps Xu Xiaowen is determined to follow the Chen family to the dark, but that may not be the case for other people in Yinzhou. I met Huaying, the governor of Yinzhou once four years ago. I think we can try to fight for it.”

"Are you sure?" Luo Fengxin was not at ease, "You also said it was four years ago, people will change."

"Perhaps, but didn't you just say that I can make my opponent obediently obey me casually?" Qiao Wan tilted her head and smiled again. After regaining her confidence, she returned to the way she used to be. Look fearless.

Luo Fengxin stared at Qiao Wan's star-like eyes for a moment, then suddenly cupped Qiao Wan's face and kissed her deeply.

"Be careful in everything and wait for me to come back." After the kiss was over, Luo Fengxin gasped and pressed Qiao Wan's forehead.

"Understood, you too." Qiao Wan replied with the same unsteady breath.
