After beating the drums, Jin Lu led the troops into the city on horseback. When he saw Guo Chan who was waiting inside the city gate, he immediately reined in his horse and got down. The name of the princess, I just got to see you today."

Jin Lu's body still smelled of mud and blood. Guo Chan didn't even frown. She saluted generously and said with a smile: "General Jin's words make me feel ashamed. Your name, General Jin I am the one who has admired the name for a long time. Is this battle going well?"

Jin Lu said: "It's going well so far. If this battle hadn't been for His Majesty's quick decision and the continuous supply of food and grass from the princess's rear, Yangcheng would not have been recaptured. I believe that if there is another battle, Luoshui City will be recaptured!" "

Suddenly Jin Lu's complexion darkened, Guo Chan guessed the reason, and said, "The general is worried about General Ling?"

Jin Lu nodded, then took off his hat and threw the horsewhip to the young general at the side, made a gesture of invitation, and said as he walked: "To tell you the truth, since Ling Qi disappeared, the Turks have not launched any more attacks. It's just constant harassment, and I suspect the Turks have other plans."

Guo Chan and Jin Lu walked side by side. Jin Lu was [-] years older than her, and what he saw was beyond her comparability, so his attitude was very humble.

Guo Chan said: "I heard that the Turkic third prince Kule is leading the Turkic troops this time. It seems that this third prince is not as useless as the rumors."

Guo Chan, the third Turkic prince, had heard about it a long time ago. This person has always been ignored. He was even excluded from the Turkic royal family. Not for other reasons, but because his biological mother was from the Central Plains.The Turkic people valued blood, and always hated the Central Plains people. It is reasonable that the third prince should not be taken seriously, but this time the Turkic invasion was led by Kule, which is really puzzling.

Speaking of Kule, Jin Lu's face turned livid, and he said with hatred: "This Kule is insidious and cunning, and he is good at using tricks. If it weren't for this man, Ling Qi would disappear again, and the accompanying soldiers would not have died tragically! "

Guo Chan realized that there was something she didn't understand, so she asked, "What does the general mean by that?"

Jin Lu sighed: "At that time, the soldiers who followed Ling Qi were all found trapped in a quagmire and suffocated to death. The place is hidden and few people know about it. They were both passing by. Not a single Turk was buried, only ours. The soldiers were obviously lured there deliberately to silence them. If not for some traces, their bodies might not be found!"

They were all buried alive, no wonder they couldn't find anyone back then, Guo Chan snorted coldly in her heart, this was undoubtedly the third prince Kule's good plan!Sure enough, he is a ruthless character!

Guo Chan thought of the news that Jin Lu sent back earlier, and said, "So the general judged that Ling Qi was taken captive by Kule."

Jin Lu nodded, "Yes, since there is no Ling Qi's body and no news about him, he must be alive."

It's just that Jin Lu didn't understand why the other party wanted to kidnap Ling Qi. It stands to reason that Ling Qi is not the coach. Could it be that he was kidnapped for information?But since he guessed that Ling Qi might be captured by the Turks, he changed the defenses in the city just in case.

He couldn't figure it out, so Jin Lu didn't worry too much about it. The most urgent thing was to rescue Ling Qi. Ling Qi's grandfather had kindness to him, so he couldn't just leave him dead.

Guo Chan knew that Jin Lu's idea was not unfounded, but she was still waiting.

The two of them arrived at the Yangcheng mansion, and all the way in, there were soldiers guarding everywhere.

There is a sand table in the hall in the middle of the mansion. Guo Chan walked up to observe it carefully. After a while, she got up and sighed: "With the addition of General Jin, this topographic map is more accurate and accurate."

Jin Lu looked at Guo Chan. This woman had a magnificent appearance, and what was even more rare was her somewhat convincing intelligence and character.

Jin Lu walked to the sand table, straightened a crooked flag, and said, "If it weren't for the topographical map you sent me back then, princess, how could I have repelled the Turks several times. With all due respect, I know The princess is not only intelligent, but also martial arts, so being a civil servant is really a shame."

Guo Chan smiled lightly, as if she didn't care, "I'm not suitable for the battlefield, what I know is only on paper. The real battlefield still needs people like you, the great general."

Jin Lu didn't answer this question, and instead said: "My little girl has always wanted to be the reincarnation of Mu Guiying and lead the army. The person she admires most is you, the princess. You may be happy to see the princess. "

Guo Chan knew that Jin Lu had a daughter named Fang Fei, and the two had never met before, but after a famous family, it is not bad to think about it.

"The general's daughter must have both civil and military skills."

"That kid is just good at boxing and kicking. He's full of punches and embroidered legs. He can't stand on the stage. If the princess returns to the capital in the future, if he meets him, please ask the princess to give him some pointers, so that Fang Fei can make a breakthrough." Jin Lu said There was a smile on the bronzed face of the daughter, obviously a loving father at home.

"I can't give advice, but it's okay to learn one or two." Guo Chan rarely met a woman practicing dancing, and she was somewhat interested, but Jin Lu mentioned that after returning to the capital, she was a little puzzled, "Could it be that Ling Qianjin lives in the capital? I remember The general has moved here for nearly ten years."

For some reason, there was an embarrassing expression on Jin Lu's face, he hesitated to speak, and suddenly said: "The girl didn't stay in college, Fang Fei returned to Beijing last year because of arguing, and sneaked back to Beijing while my mother and I were not paying attention. went."

No one in the high-ranking family has any secrets. Guo Chan chose not to ask Jin Fangfei the reason for sneaking back to Beijing, but she also missed a thing that she would like to talk about in the future.

At this time, a small gray sparrow flew in from outside the hall. After entering the hall, the gray sparrow circled around and landed firmly in front of Guo Chan.

Jin Lu was shocked when he saw this, but his face remained calm. This gray bird seemed inconspicuous but it was the information transmission tool of the imperial family's secret guards since the beginning of the dynasty, but this gray bird obviously recognized Guo Chan as the master. Chan's respect has risen to the point that she dare not underestimate her.

Guo Chan took a note from Gray Bird's foot, but Jin Lu didn't take a close look at it. The imperial guards always had a special way of communication, so even if he read it, he couldn't understand it.

After Guo Chan read it, she shattered the paper. Seeing her happy face, Jin Lu couldn't help but said, "Princess, is there any good news?"

Guo Chan nodded, "The general guessed right, Ling Qi is indeed still alive, and he is in the Turkic camp."

Ling Qi relaxed when he heard this, "That's really great!" But immediately after he finished speaking, he frowned again, and sighed: "It's hard to save this person in the Turkic camp... It is impossible to rescue people from the Turkic army with three heads and six arms!"

Jin Lu punched the sand table resentfully, and the flags on the sand table suddenly wobbled.He looked up and saw that Guo Chan's expression was relaxed and did not seem to be troubled, he hesitated, "Could it be that the princess has a way?"

Guo Chan did not answer this question, but instead said: "I am here to supervise the battle, but we know that His Majesty trusts you, General, so why should I supervise the battle. I will not hide it from you, General. I came here to rescue Ling Qi, after all, General Ling can no longer bear the pain of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man."

Mentioning the Ling family, Jin Lu's face was not easy. Ling Qi's parents both died back then, leaving behind Ling Qi who was still young. Who in the army didn't watch Ling Qi grow up? Seeing him feel lonely feel good.But what Jin Lu didn't understand was why Guo Chan mentioned this at this moment.

"The princess means...?"

Guo Chan raised her eyelashes and said, "The general will continue to fight the battle. We must not be held back by the Turkic people when the harvest is approaching. As for saving Ling Qi, I will leave it to me."

According to what he said, Guo Chan did not intend to wait until after the war with the Turks to negotiate, but to preemptively rescue Ling Qi.Jin Lu's heart began to waver, not because he doubted Guo Chan's ability, but because if the action failed, it might also affect the battle.

After thinking about it for a while, Jin Lu still chose to trust Guo Chan. Since the emperor was able to hand over the hidden guard to her, it must not be just because of the close relationship between the two.

"So, Jin will wait for the good news from the princess!"

Guo Chan was very satisfied with Jin Lu's cooperation and nodded, "Don't worry, General, there will be a result within three days."

Jin Lu's eyebrows twitched, and the previous hesitation dissipated because of her simple sentence, and suddenly he understood His Majesty's trust in her.

In the following days, Jin Lu kept observing Guo Chan, and saw that she would occasionally inspect the camp and survey the terrain on weekdays, and the rest of the time was spent in the mansion, not asking about the war at all.

Jin Lu couldn't help muttering in his heart, how does Guo Chan plan to rescue Ling Qi?

On the third day, Jin Lu wanted to inquire about Guo Chan's plan, but in the afternoon, Turkic people came to shout at the city gate, and every sentence was more difficult to listen to, and every sentence was inseparable from molesting Guo Chan, so he listened They were all furious, but Guo Chan didn't change her face, as if the person being molested was not her.

Guo Chan stood on the city gate, looking at the Turkic man downstairs. At this moment, the man was still croaking non-stop. Suddenly, Guo Chan sneered and said, "General, today should be over."

Before Jin Lu could ask, Guo Chan ordered someone to bring an arrow. She pulled the bow to the full moon and shot it with all her strength.

Cheers sounded from the city gate.

"The princess is good at archery!"

Jin Lu couldn't hide his surprise. Generally speaking, when two armies fight, they will not kill those who call the battle.

"Is this inappropriate?" Jin Lu expressed his thoughts hesitantly. Although he was much older than Guo Chan, he still couldn't be regarded as a young man by her.

Guo Chan didn't go to see him, but stared at the Turkic army on the opposite side, and said firmly: "General, I said, it should be over today." Turkic land is not as fertile as the Central Plains, and food is sufficient. One of the reasons why the Turks were able to succeed for the first time was that the Turks attacked quickly and ruthlessly. There had been no battle for many years, and the soldiers of Luoshui City were caught off guard.

With Jin Lu's ability and the gathering of troops from the Central Plains, it is impossible to drag the war to this day. There are many reasons for Jin Lu's scruples because of Ling Qi's disappearance, and because he met a difficult person this time.

The horn of war was sounded, and the Turkic people rushed forward one after another, led by the Turkic cavalry. They brandished swords and rushed to the city gate, besieging the city with their flesh and blood.

Jin Lu quickly commanded the soldiers of Yangcheng to defend the city, and smoke rose from the gate of the city, and swords were brandished.
