The queen is a bit cowardly

Fuyang County Prefecture

Chang Lan always returned to Fuyang County non-stop. The atmosphere in the whole county made her feel a little depressed. Feng Jia, who was guarding the city gate, saw Chang Lan and Baza's carriage and hurried up to meet him. What should I report? It's just that I haven't heard from the county government for several days, and I want to ask Chang Lan about it.

After all, he was pulled out by a rabbit, and he was also Chang Lan's first batch of soldiers in Fudi. Although he was anxious, he met Feng Jia immediately, and Feng Jia held the reins for Chang Lan, and followed her into the city gate to the county. go to the government.

"Princess, how is Your Highness doing recently?"

Jiang Qingluan's critical illness must not be publicized, but where is there an impenetrable wall in the world?Feng Jia even took the initiative to ask, and Chang Lan felt that something serious might have happened to Jiang Qingluan, and her heart tightened, as uncomfortable as a needle prick.

"Why is it up to you to ask, Your Highness?" Bazaar flicked his whip and questioned, it was obvious that he was in a bad mood.

Chang Lan had a sad expression on her face, but she also knew that there must be a reason for Feng Jia's question, so she asked back, "For asking Your Highness?"

Feng Jia replied: "If I were in charge, I would go to the gate of the county mansion to have a look. Recently, the county mansion often sees medical officers coming in and out at night, so..."

"Before the assassins attacked, His Highness was injured and was just recuperating." Chang Lan said lightly, but in her heart, she needed to recuperate.

"Can……"

"But what?"

"But in the early days, medical officers came in and out during the day, and recently it's night. Sometimes only medical officers are admitted to the hospital, but not discharged. Besides, Your Highness and you have always been frugal people, but these days the lights of the county mansion at night are all the same. On..."

"..." Chang Lan knew that there were some things she couldn't hide, so she asked again, "Is that all?"

"Aren't you... are you back today?" Feng Jia lowered his head: "And Brother Tu has been gone for a few days. It was rare to see him at the market last time. His eyes are dark and his expression is not good. Ask Why didn't he say..."

Chang Lan's hands burst into cold sweat. You Tu is now Jiang Qingluan's personal attendant. If this is the case, it means that Jiang Qingluan is indeed what he said in the letter, and Chang Lan regains his composure when he feels dizzy.

"Your Highness is just sick, as long as you are sick, you will be cured." Chang Lan comforted her instead: "I have the best medical officers and medicinal materials in Daxin, and I came back to see His Highness. It’s just going back to Tianping City, don’t think too much about it.”

Feng Jia trusted Chang Lan, and nodded sharply: "Here!"

"You are already a city gatekeeper, and you can be regarded as an official. Your words and deeds will also affect your subordinates. In this critical period, don't make random guesses." Chang Lan looked at Feng Jia, no matter how sad she was, she could only swallow.

"Here."

"The county residence is not far from here. General Baza and I will go there by ourselves." Chang Lan straightened her waist. If even Feng Jia could see the clue, then other people in the county residence would also have ideas, and she would be even more concerned. Don't show your sorrow.

"Bazaar, cheer up, Your Highness is still waiting to see us."

Baza was taken aback, nodded, and straightened his body, clamping his horse's belly, and headed towards the county mansion.

The two of them entered the mansion, and sure enough, everything was abnormal as Feng Jia said. The steward of Chang Lan Jiang County Mansion called and asked about Jiang Qingluan's situation. Unexpectedly, the steward said that he didn't know.

"You are in charge, why don't you know?" Chang Lan blamed.

"Your Highness won't let you in." The steward replied, "It's because I'm sick, and I don't want to see anyone."

"Then who is in charge of His Highness's daily life?" Chang Lan asked.

The steward replied: "His Royal Highness is taken care of by the people around His Highness, so we will serve some meals."

Chang Lan walked towards Jiang Qingluan's yard, and then asked, "How's Your Highness eating recently?"

The steward was taken aback, shook his head and said, "How did the food get in, and how did it get out?"

"Didn't eat?" Bazaar asked.

"No, it was all soup and water, but it didn't seem like they had eaten anything." The steward replied honestly.

Chang Lan took a deep breath, sent the manager away, and came to Jiang Qingluan's gate, but the gate was closed tightly.Baza stepped forward, slapped the door vigorously, and said: "The princess is back home, hurry up and open the door!"

I don't know the reason, but it took me a while to hear someone's voice. The courtyard door opened slowly, and there was a rabbit. A rabbit stretched out its head to look around, and then let Chang Lan Baza into the house.

Just outside the door, Chang Lan was still as strong as a shield, but when she returned to the familiar courtyard, the defense line in the center had begun to collapse, and Jiang Qingluan's door was right in front of her, she was struggling and dared not move forward.

"Your Highness... are you okay?" Chang Lan asked Youtu.

Youtu was taken aback, but he was in a dilemma. He looked at Jiang Qingluan's door and said, "Princess, go and see for yourself."

Chang Lan gasped, and couldn't help but look at Bazaar. The two of them came back together, feeling apprehensive in their hearts. What is the so-called critical illness?She was afraid of seeing Jiang Qingluan's decadent face, afraid of seeing her lover's despair.

"Let's go, princess." Baza clenched his fists, took a step, and walked towards the room with his head buried.

Baller Barracks

Balak guarded the rear of the army, and the front of the army was guarded by a black light. A row of 20 men retreated at a leisurely pace.Baler's troops were all elites. He had expected the enemy to pursue him, so he took precautions early. He threw some horses from time to time and dug a few trenches along the way. After all, it was the only way to stop the enemy from advancing. Use it.

The scouts kept coming from the rear, reporting the situation of the enemy.

"Report to the general!"

"Say." Balak looked at the young woman in front of him. This was already the third scout who came back to report.

"The enemy troops are already on board. There are 37 large ships, all of which are cavalry, and 82 small boats, all of which are infantry. It is estimated that there are 4 people." The female scout replied.

Bale's 4 elite soldiers would not be afraid of the [-] opponents in a normal battle, but the news of Jiang Qingluan's critical illness has spread, and the news reported by the second scout is even more desperate. The enemy has already begun to spread the news that Jiang Qingluan is dead. matter.If the morale of the army is lost, no matter how many people there are, it will be in vain.

"Understood." Balak bit his dry lips, and said to the scouts, "Go drink some water, and then retreat."

After dismissing the scouts, Baler was still in despair. The three people who came didn't bring any good news. He knew that there might be even more desperate things when the scouts returned later, but he kept his chest up, because No matter what the result is, what he has to do is to lead the main force to live safely. If Jiang Qingluan is not dead, he will swing his sword to the west again. If something happens to Jiang Qingluan, the people here will be the sharp sword of revenge!

With this apprehension in mind, Balak left another 4 soldiers behind. A trench must be dug for sure. If an army of [-] men came to pursue him, the trench and the refusal of horses would not last long.

Clamping the horse belly, looking at the endless line ahead, I feel mixed feelings...

"What is that sound!"

Balak heard it too. It was a sound like landslides and ground cracks. Even the ground seemed to be trembling. A strong wind was blowing from the west, and there was a little water vapor in the wind.

"What's that?" Balak also asked, "But an earthquake?"

Just now the female scout hurriedly looked at the floor, there was indeed sand and soil beating, but no rocks fell, and replied: "It doesn't look like it."

"Go and find out!" Baller ordered.

The scout sang "Hey" and scattered on his horse, heading towards a dangerous direction.

Jiang Fei's vanguard had already reached the shore, and the horsemen began to help the cavalry to send their horses off, while Jiang Fei's infantry fleet had just anchored from the shore. Jiang Fei's boat was in the river, and he only waited for the cavalry As soon as he was in position, he swung his troops eastward and took down Ba Le in one fell swoop. If he returned to Jiangcheng with Ba Le's head, he would definitely be greatly valued by the family members.

But when Jiang Fei was proud, he heard a loud noise from upstream. Before he could raise his head to see what happened, the huge waves falling from the sky were photographed. Clinging to the mast, he shouted loudly: "Boss..."

Before he could say a word, water poured into his mouth one by one. His mouth and nasal cavity were full of water and mud. Jiang Fei tried to swim up, but this heavy armor made it difficult for him to use it. At this time, the so-called heroic moment Turned into a mess, the boat was overturned, he was pushed down by the waves, and he took off his heavy armor while sinking. Fortunately, soldiers with knowledge of water kept bringing him up, but it seemed to be of no avail.

Jiang Fei kept struggling in the water. In front of him was the general of Fu Kingdom who sank with him. Like him, the heavy armor became a cage to restrain them. The same is true for the best cavalry and horses under his command. Struggling in the water, he saw with his own eyes a horse kicking its owner to death, a soldier was entangled in a military flag, and was dragged under the water despite being able to escape.

Desperation made Jiang Fei keep going upstream. With the help of several water-savvy soldiers, he finally walked to the shallow water in embarrassment. His feet could barely step on the sand and stones in the river. Jiang Fei finally walked out of the water completely, and now he felt exhausted all over his body.

Looking back at the river, almost all the 4 troops capsized, and the boats fixed with iron cables were pulled into the water one after another, and the main force of the cavalry who had landed by the river was also washed away by the river, and some of them had already mounted their horses. The soldier was a little luckier and rode to a safe high ground.

There were screams in Jiang Fei's ears, and his ears were ringing because of the water, and he didn't know who helped him up. The man said, "Shuai Jiang, it's over...our army is over."

"Whoa, that's the end!" Jiang Fei pushed the people around him away. He staggered to a tree and wiped his hands off his face, but his sleeves were full of water. as much as possible.

"Jiang Shuai, the dam upstream has burst..."

Jiang Fei looked up at the upper reaches of the river, and the overflowing water was still rushing in like a galloping horse. He hit the tree with his fist, and his mind was finally clear.

This was obviously Jiang Cheng's plan for Jiang Qingluan, but now it has become his own execution ground.

"Jiang Shuai, the rebels are coming to counterattack!" The soldier who had been with him said, "Let's run away!"
