Just as Qi Qing turned around, he was forcibly called out by the prince again.She turned around, and saw Wang Ziqiang cut a clean skirt from his clothes, then dipped his fingers in the blood flowing from his chest and abdomen, and quickly wrote a few words on the white silk with a dead body. He wrote, and tore off a piece of jade pendant on his body, wrapped it in a piece of white silk cloth, handed it to Qiqing, and said:

"Qiqing, my child is not yet one year old, please take care of him from now on and bring him up. My father also asks you to send my regards for me!"

With tears in his eyes, Qi Qing nodded:

"do not worry!"

Wang Ziqiang looked at Qiqing with a smile on his face, and then he shouted loudly to the surroundings:

"Brothers and sisters of the Detachment of Women, fight a bloody path for Her Royal Highness!"

The soldiers of the Detachment of Women, hearing his cry, were all in high spirits, as if death was at home, bravely fought the enemy, and launched the final attack on the enemy.

Qiqing and the others protected the princess and fought tenaciously against Liu Heita's army. After going through all kinds of hardships and dangers, they broke through numerous sieges and tried their best to break through a bloody road. The group finally rescued the princess and returned to Xiaqiu City.

A large number of enemy troops following them were intercepted by the women's army who had already ambushed by the roadside.When the princess enters the city, one thousand bows.The crossbowmen also retreated to the city, closed the city gate, guarded against death, and waited for the arrival of the prince's army.

When Qiqing rescued Princess Pingyang to Xiaqiu City, the Detachment of Women's Army went out to rescue, and including the soldiers chasing Dong Yong, the rebel general, among the 2000 people who broke through, only fifty or so remained; Unfortunately, the red-brown horse was injured and died.

The princess was wounded by an arrow, and the female doctor in the army rushed to treat the princess.The princess was lying in the military tent, her face was purple, her lips were black, and her spirit was very poor.Everyone gathered around the couch, watching nervously.Then all the men in the tent were sent aside by the girls.

When the female doctor pulled out the arrow, the princess woke up from the pain.The arrow shot into the princess's body very deeply. The female doctor set the blade on the fire, then carefully cut the wound with the knife, and then held the body of the arrow and flicked it lightly, pulling out the arrow that penetrated into the shoulder.

After the arrow was pulled out, the girl took another look inside the wound, then pressed the princess's bleeding wound with gauze, raised the arrow with one hand, looked at it carefully under the light, then frowned and said:

"There is poison on this arrow!"

"Is there a solution?" Everyone was surprised.

The female doctor was silent.

"What's the situation? There's no need to hide anything, please speak up." The princess said weakly.

"It's too late, the venom has penetrated into the blood!" The female doctor shook her head.

"Qiqing, send someone to deliver a letter to the prince!" the princess said forcefully.

"Your Highness, I have asked Ji Xue to deliver a letter to the Crown Prince." Qi Qing said softly.

The princess said as best she could:

"Liu Heitai will come to attack the city again soon, you must try your best to hold on until the prince's army arrives!"

"Yes!"

The princess breathed a sigh of relief:

"Don't worry about me, go get ready!"

"Your Highness!" Everyone wanted to cry, but they didn't want to leave.

"Go!"

In the morning three days later, Qi Qing stood quietly on the tower, looking into the distance.What she saw in her eyes was only patches of green and yellow grass and trees extending from the city to the mountains in the distance, and the blue sky in the distance, nothing else could be seen.

"General Youwuwei, Your Royal Highness is here to invite you." The princess's maid came up to the city wall and said to her.

Qi Qing approached the princess' couch and called softly:

"Princess!"

The princess asked weakly:

"Qiqing, what's the situation outside?"

"Princess, don't worry, His Royal Highness has led the army to attack Liu Heita's army, and good news will come soon." Qi Qing said softly.

The princess paused for a moment and asked again:

"Have their bodies been found?"

"General Zhang E's is found. Wang Ziqiang and the others are unrecognizable, but they can be identified from the weapons and armor in their hands."

The princess heaved a long sigh, her gaze was no longer so firm, and then seemed to be a little distracted, and she didn't know where her mind was drifting away.

After a while, the princess withdrew her casual gaze, looked at Qi Qing and said:

"Qiqing, after I die, you can take my coffin back. I think that in the future, my two brothers, Prince Jiancheng and Qin Wang Shimin, will have a fight for the throne. Now the two of them are fighting openly and secretly. No matter who will win in the end, both will have an injury.

In order to further consolidate his position, the prince will keep you for his own use in the future, and these surviving soldiers of the Women's Army are also very likely to be included under the prince's rule.

You have been with me for five or six years, I don't want you to have any accidents in the future.If you want, it's better to leave in time, you can take my coffin back, and then you can get away from Jiancheng.

After returning to the imperial court, you go to the Ministry of War and choose a low-ranking military officer with them. In this way, although you will no longer have a high position and rich salary, you can still spend your days idle and avoid being involved in the dispute between the prince and the King of Qin. "

"Princess, you will be fine!"

The princess smiled lightly:

"Although this arrow did not kill me at the time, the poison on it is unsolvable. This was planned by Liu Heitai long ago. When he shot this arrow, I just regretted it. You followed me, but you got nothing, you died, you got hurt."

Qi Qing blinked her tear-filled eyes:

"Princess, we don't want to get anything, it's good to just follow you!"

"I am very happy to have your words!" The princess smiled slightly.

"Princess, you can rest, there is news from the prince, I will tell you again."

"it is good."

Princess Pingyang tilted her head and watched Qi Qing calmly retreat and walk out of her tent.

Winter is here, and this year's winter is colder than usual, and the weather is erratic—it was sunny yesterday, but today seems to be March [-]th, and it's cold and gloomy.

In the morning, Danniang put on a thick skirt and went out.She wanted to go to Dongshi to buy some cloth and raw silk to make some clothes and exchange for some money for rice.

She walked out of the gate of Xuanyangfang and came to Shizi Street in Chang'an City.The street is very quiet today, and there are fewer pedestrians, cars and horses.

But I saw many white lanterns hanging on both sides of the broad street, one at a hundred steps, hanging along the street to the front, with no end in sight.At the gate of the city she passed by, there were still white curtains tied into clusters of flowers with white juan.

Moreover, soldiers in groups of several people, holding spears and iron halberds, walked to and fro on the street; the taverns and shops were not as noisy as usual, and their drumming and shouting were silent today.

Danniang didn't know what had happened, so she went to the small shop in front of her and asked the baker's mother-in-law:

"Grandma, what's the matter? Why are there so many soldiers patrolling and guarding the street?"

"The national funeral is held today." The cake seller whispered.

"National funeral?"

"Don't you know? Notices have been posted on the city wall in front. The princess is dead. Today is the funeral! Did you hear that? This music is the military music played just for the princess!"

"Which princess would be treated like this and hold a national funeral?" Danniang asked again strangely.

"It's Princess Pingyang who led the Detachment Army to fight. The princess died in front of the country!" the mother-in-law said in a low voice.

When Danniang heard that Princess Pingyang died in battle, there was a bang in her ears, and she hurriedly asked:

"What about the others? How about the others who fought with the princess?"

"I heard that this battle was very tragic, many people died, and many soldiers of the Women's Army were killed!"

Danniang seemed to have fallen into endless darkness all of a sudden, she was top-heavy, her body shook, and she almost fell to the ground.Unable to stand, she reached out to hold on to the wall on one side.

"Are you going to buy cakes or not?" The woman asked when she saw that she was still standing still.

Danniang walked back in a daze, and after a few steps, she quickened her pace as if suddenly awakened, and rushed home in a hurry.

"Mother Sun, is Qiqing back?" She opened the door and asked anxiously.

Seeing her panicked expression, Mama Sun panicked too, and hurriedly said:

"Miss Qiqing hasn't come back yet, what's the matter?"

Danniang's heart collapsed again, and she walked towards the room with heavy steps, muttering to herself:

"Qiqing, where are you?"
