The substitute princess of the general who crossed over

"I don't like her." Qinghui sobbed with a strong nasal voice.

Emperor Liang coaxed her, "I don't care what she does. When the news gets out, Da Zhou will definitely continue the marriage. Then you have to let her replace you."

Qing thought about it for a while, and it seemed to be the reason. When the father and emperor brought Qin Xi back, they would be able to return to the way they were before.Although it took more than a year longer than originally expected, it finally came.

The day before going to Taohuayuan, Emperor Liang summoned Li Dutong and Xia Lin to discuss the matter of going to Taohuayuan in the Palace of Harmony.

"Lin'er will take you there, and the imperial guards in the border town will meet you." Emperor Liang said in a deep voice, "Qin Xi is good at arranging troops, and she has a private army in her hand. Don’t underestimate them, they must be wiped out.”

Xia Lin sat on the side, and when she heard the words "the whole army was wiped out", she felt a thud in her heart. She clasped her hands and asked, "Father?"

Only then did Emperor Liang realize that his tone was a bit harsh, and explained, "I won't do anything to Qin Xi, don't worry."

Even if Emperor Liang said that, Xia Lin still felt faintly uneasy, but Emperor Liang stopped talking to her, "Go back, I have something to discuss with Li Dutong."

Xia Lin had no choice but to retreat.

After Xia Lin left, Emperor Liang said to Li Dutong, "Now I don't know the terrain of the Peach Blossom Spring. After your army arrives at the border town, don't rush in. Send someone to familiarize yourself with the terrain. After surveying, you can take it in one fell swoop. "

"Yes." Li Dutong clasped his fists and replied.

"As for Qin Xi..." Emperor Liang frowned bitterly, rubbing his thumb and forefinger secretly, and after a long while, he finally said with a painful determination, "Kill him on the spot."

When a king can no longer control the weapon in his hand, the one thing he must do is to destroy it.

In the early morning, before dawn, Xia Lin was called up by Luo Yi, her eyes were not opened, Luo Yi had already started to dress her in a hurry.

"Princess, hurry up, go to the car and sleep again, Mr. Li is already waiting outside." Luo Yi straightened Xia Lin's dangling body, and quickly tied her belt.

"Don't take Yuchai with you, lest the bumps in the carriage hurt you." Luo Yi talked to himself, and didn't care that Xia Lin was still dozing off with her eyes closed. After thinking about it, she said, "Yeah." ...Forget it, let’s bring a smaller one, it looks better.”

Luo Er and Luo San packed their luggage and were moving towards the carriage. Luo Yi tied Xia Lin's hair, turned around and shouted at Luo San, "Master Li, we'll be fine soon."

"Got it." Luo San's drawn-out voice came from outside the hall.

Xia Lin was pushed out of the door by Luo Yi, she looked at the whole carriage of luggage outside, and twitched the corners of her mouth, really...

Xia Lin didn't like crowds, so she only took Luo Yi to go with her, and the two sat in the carriage. Seeing Xia Lin drooping eyelids again, Luo took out a quilt from under the chair.

"Princess, please sleep a little longer, it's still very early."

Fortunately, the carriage was big enough, Xia Lin lay down on the bench with her head leaned on Luo Yi's thigh, and closed her eyes to rest.

This trip was faster than the one we came here, and we arrived at the border town in two days.

Li Dutong contacted the imperial guards of the border town, and the group could only live in the barracks.Xia Lin didn't think much of it, although Luo Yi was a court lady, but no matter what happened in the palace, it was much better than this simple and crude military camp.It's just that Xia Lin didn't say anything, so she put away all her complaints.

Luo Yi came in and communicated that Li Dutong was waiting outside the tent and that he had something to discuss with Xia Lin.

Xia Lin lifted the curtain and went out.

"Master Li."

"See the princess." Li Dutong bowed slightly to Xia Lin, without any fuss, and explained the purpose of coming, "Tomorrow morning, the princess will trouble you to find the Peach Blossom Spring with me."

"Naturally." Xia Lin nodded, she thought for a while and then said, "On the day of the attack, can Mr. Li transfer a few people to this palace, there is a maid in this palace who is loyal to Qin Xi as a proton... "

"This..." Li Dutong hesitated, "I'm afraid it's too dangerous, why don't I take the princess in to find someone after I capture the Peach Blossom Spring?"

Xia Rin also frowned. She was not afraid of Li Dutong breaking her promise, but afraid of Qin Xi. If she could not handle it, Zhiwen was still in her hands. She just wanted to rescue Zhiwen as soon as possible. is dangerous.

But what Li Dutong said was completely reasonable, Xia Lin didn't know how to persuade him for a while.

"Forget it, let's discuss it at that time." Xia Lin had no choice but to let go, and when the time comes... I don't know what the situation is.

Early the next morning, the group left the border town and walked towards the direction Xia Lin pointed.

Xia Lin didn't know how to ride a horse, so Li Dutong took the reins and led Xia Lin all the way. Sometimes Xia Lin couldn't remember where she was, so she got off the horse and looked carefully for the marks she made in the forest.

This search lasted a whole day, and Xia Lin's inner thighs were worn out, and the pain from rubbing against the fabric was unbearable. She had no choice but to step on the stirrups and stand up a little bit to relieve the pain caused by the bumps.

"Princess, is this here?" Li Dutong pulled the rein of the horse and stopped at the entrance of Taohuayuan.

"It's here, but I can't guarantee that there is only one entrance and exit." Xia Lin got off the horse, her legs were a little weak, but fortunately she supported the horse's back in time to prevent her from falling.

"You guys, use this as a starting point and start searching from both sides." Li Du waved his hands in unison, and four of them ran away in pairs.

Xia Lin couldn't bear it any longer, she didn't bring Luo Yi, and she couldn't expect these big men who were soldiers to simply sit on the ground and rest on their own.

Seeing this, Li Dutong got off his horse and walked towards Xia Lin, "Princess, if not, let's camp here tonight, lest I have to turn back, I'll come back tomorrow."

Naturally, Xia Lin didn't want to leave. She felt that her inner thigh had been worn out with blood, and it was very wet and uncomfortable, so she nodded.

Li Dutong took out a signal flare from his waist, fired it into the sky, and said to Xia Lin, "The army has been notified to come. When your maid comes, you can have a good rest."

Xia Lin was so tired that she didn't want to talk anymore, she nodded and fell silent again.

It was already dark, and everyone lit torches to illuminate the surroundings brightly.Looking at the familiar scenery around her, Xia Lin remembered the scene when Qin Xi brought her here.

At the beginning...how much she believed in her, she followed her into the trap without hesitation, and fell into the abyss with her.

She hasn't seen Qin Xi for a long time, but tomorrow, she is doomed to meet again. She just wants to get back to the news, and the rest... Let the wind go.

Wang Yuqing, the commander of the imperial guards, finally joined them after an hour. Li Dutong ordered people to set up a tent. Wang Yuqing walked over, and the two discussed the plan to break out of the siege tomorrow.

The people who went to inspect have returned, and a group of people gathered together to discuss it.

Xia Lin sat in front of the bonfire in a daze, Luo Yi came over, took the cloak and put it on her.

"Princess, it's cold at night, let's go back to the tent first."

"I want to sit down a little longer."

Luo Yi stopped persuading her and sat quietly with her.

The crackling sound of the bonfire burning dead branches was mixed with the sound of conversations in the distance. Xia Lin's heart was also in a mess. She always felt that this night was not very peaceful.

A certain battalion commander over there said Zhenghuan.

"We took a look. This Taohuayuan should be a basin surrounded by mountains. The entrance that the princess mentioned is actually just one of the secret passages. If we break out on a large scale, it is best to go over the mountains and come to outflank it."

After hearing this, Li Dutong shook his head solemnly, "Outflanking won't work, we don't have enough manpower, and the terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Besides, Qin Xi must have a deep understanding of this place, so it's definitely not possible to charge hard."

"What should I do?"

The battalion commander scratched his head, apparently not knowing much about formations.

"How about it..." Wang Yuqing took over the conversation, picked up a branch and drew on the ground while explaining to everyone, "Let's go tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

Just as everyone finished discussing the countermeasures, they heard a commotion behind them. Li Dutong stood up and shouted angrily, "What are you doing?"

Not far away, a small soldier came over angrily, with a sullen face, "Master Li, what kind of soldiers are you training!? You are so indiscriminate."

As soon as the voice came out, Li Dutong was dumbfounded. This is not a soldier, it is obviously a woman's voice!He hurried forward a few steps, and under the light of the torch, he finally saw clearly who this person was.

"Princess Qinghui!" Li Dutong turned pale with shock, "Why are you here?"

Why did this little ancestor follow?

Li Dutong suddenly dragged the two big one by one. Who doesn't know that Princess Qinghui is now the emperor's favorite jewel. After all this trouble, it's okay if nothing happens. If something happens, he won't even think about it.

"Why can't I come? She can come, why can't I?" Qing Hui pointed at Xia Lin beside the fire, and said arrogantly.

Where is this from?

Li Dutong didn't bother to explain to her, and said directly, "Princess, I will send you back to the palace."

"How dare you!?" Qing Hui poked his neck and said, "If you dare to send me back, I'll tell my father that you brought me here!!"

Li Dutong was so angry that he couldn't speak, he looked at Xia Lin as if asking for help, since he is also a princess, at least he can say a few words for him, right?Unexpectedly, Xia Lin turned a blind eye to his eyes asking for help, and didn't lift her eyelids, she just played with the dead branches in her hand, and she didn't know what she was pulling on the ground.

The atmosphere froze just like that, Wang Yuqing came over, and whispered to Li Dutong, "Forget it, it's so late, it's not safe to come and go again and again, and find two people to guard it early tomorrow morning, that's all."

Li Dutong didn't agree with this in his heart, but at the moment, Qing Hui was as stubborn as an old man, no matter what he said, it was useless.So in the end, Qing Hui was still left behind and placed in the tent next to Xia Lin.

Finally, Xia Lin threw the branch in her hand and told Luo Yi to go back with her. When entering the tent, she ignored Qing Hui's eyes and the two passed by.
