The utterly silent plain was set against the deep black night, and the candlelight in the big tent of the Rouran camp was shining brightly. Lying on the couch, Zhiqing had her eyes closed and her eyebrows frowned.Ever since she was brought back by Wu Ti, she had been in a coma, and her sleep was extremely restless, as if she had fallen into some terrible dream.

"General!" She sat up suddenly and shouted unconsciously.

She dreamed of the battlefield where Wei Guo and Rouran were fighting, the blowing sand was mixed with strong blood, the ground was full of bones, and the death was horrific - and Wu Ti's fierce eyes, full of bows and arrows, wanted to shoot Xie Qichen scene.The sweat-drenched clothes were blown gently by the cold wind through the tent, giving them a kind of heart-warming coolness, fine beads of sweat covered their foreheads, Zhiqing gradually woke up, and her heaving chest slowly calmed down.The arrow pierced through his left shoulder, but he pulled it out without changing his face, holding the rein in his bloody left hand and charging the horse to kill.He, is he okay?

In a daze, Zhiqing was surrounded by a tall figure.Wu Ti clenched his fists, staring at her in a daze with red eyes.He was happy because she woke up, but he never thought that what she was thinking was still Xie Qichen!

Feeling a strong breath, Zhiqing raised her head slowly, meeting Wu Ti's angry eyes.She glanced at him silently, then lowered her head again, with no expression or anything to say.She is not afraid of Wu Ti at all, she knows him well, he really can't do anything to him.In the war between him and her, he is the loser because she has made a choice and there is no going back.

Wu Ti sat on the couch angrily, pinched Zhiqing's shoulders with both hands, and said solemnly: "I will kill Xie Qichen, I will definitely kill him!"

"It's up to you." Zhiqing said softly, with helplessness on her face, "I'm just an ordinary embroidered girl in Wei State, so it's worth fighting for me?"

"It's worth it!" Wu Ti said sonorously, "Li Duo, why don't you understand how important you are to me?"

"If I were still your maid, maybe you wouldn't think so." It's good to always get something, but when she was by his side, what he saw in his eyes was He Hong.But it’s meaningless to say these now, Zhiqing didn’t want to hear Wu Ti’s talk about their past, and cut it off abruptly before he could speak, “I’m tired, let’s go.”

Wu Ti held his breath in his chest immediately, wanting to get angry, but seeing Zhiqing still looked tired and listless, he had no choice but to give up.He sank a little, stood up quickly and walked out, but stopped halfway, still couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and said without hesitation: "How good is that Xie Qichen? I read it, and said that you have been suffering from cold and cold, and you followed him just to torture yourself? If he really valued you, he shouldn’t have allowed you to suffer in the barracks!” After he finished speaking, he slammed the curtain and walked away. left.

That's right, he said that he would send someone to send her back to the Valley of the Five Phoenixes, but she stubbornly refused to agree, so he had to compromise.With such a result now, Zhiqing took a deep breath, and lay back on the couch heavily, feeling surprisingly calm in her heart, let's be at ease now that it's here.When she closed her eyes, she couldn't help thinking of Xie Qichen's injury...

The night was getting deeper and deeper, the towers of Shengle City were heavily guarded, and the Rouran Iron Cavalry was stationed in the clouds, watching eagerly, and the Wei army did not dare to take it lightly.The camp had been burned down by a fire, so more than 2 people were stationed under the inner city of Shengle.Lieutenant General Xi Jin is on patrol tonight, Xie Qichen is resting in the government office due to injury, and military doctor Wei Tuo is changing his medicine at the moment.

Wu Ti led the troops to wash the Wei camp, but there were still a few people who escaped. Wei Tuo was one of them. According to him, he barely survived by hiding in a water tank. After music, he fled into the city.Although Mulan, Zhuzi and the others felt relieved that the third son survived, they all hated Rouran's brutality when they thought of the other brothers who died tragically in the camp.Mulan took the pillars and the blacksmith to guard Xie Qichen's room, and Wei Tuo was in charge of treating and taking care of him, but the arrow wound was too severe, and the bleeding could not be stopped even after changing the medicine several times.

"I added more medicine to stop the bleeding, hoping to help General Xie's injury." Wei Tuo said while applying the medicine.

"Wei Tuo, I will trouble you with General Xie's injury." Mulan looked at him worriedly and said.

Wei Tuo smiled innocently, "Don't say that, Hua Hu, this is my duty as a military doctor."

"It's better not to be mother-in-law, you kid, move faster." The blacksmith gave him a look impatiently.

"Come on, blacksmith, what's the matter with you, we won the battle and you are still in a hurry." Zhuzi sighed, "If you want me to say, thanks to Wei Tuo's escape, otherwise we wouldn't even have a military doctor, even if Luo Qing was... ..."

"Zhu Zi!" Mulan yelled, and Zhu Zi quickly stopped talking.A few people peeked at Xie Qichen, his face was as deep as water, his eyes were fixed on a certain place without any waves, he couldn't feel the pain on his shoulder and he couldn't hear other people's voices at all.Mulan frowned, and called out softly, "General Xie, General Xie!"

Xie Qichen regained his senses slightly, looked at Mulan, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"General Xi Jin said to let you recover from your injuries, and he will go to patrol the guards tonight."

Xie Qichen nodded and waved them down.Mulan glanced at him before taking the people out, feeling a little hesitant.After the battle was over, General Xie calmly deployed defenses, guarded, counted food and grass, and handed over the spoils, and only went to the government office for treatment after everything was in order.Zhiqing was taken away by Wu Ti, he must be anxious, but he still did not forget the accusation of being a general, Mulan only hoped that General Xie would not treat him too harshly, if he was crushed, who else could lead them back Rouran.Only by defeating Rouran's troops can Zhiqing be rescued.However, she didn't say anything, she just left with her heart full of thoughts. The battle between Wei Guo and Rouran was sad, and there was not only one person who was sad.

The news of winning Shengle was sent back to Pingcheng urgently within [-] miles, the court of Wei State was full of joy, the crisis of Pingcheng was solved, and Emperor Tuoba Tao was overjoyed.At the same time, the first battle of Shengle also aroused the determination of the young heroic emperor to conquer Rouran.In a few days, Tuoba Tao drove to Pingcheng and went to Shengle to reward the three armies.

Under the majesty of the emperor, the officers and men of the three armies stood in the school grounds, awarded the decree of grace, and named General Weiyuan Xie Qichen as Marquis of Weibei, a hereditary first-class marquis, and rewarded a thousand taels of gold, a hundred pieces of silk, and a good horse; One thousand taels of gold, one hundred pieces of silk, and one good horse; the reward for the main flower arc of the banner is one hundred taels of gold, one hundred pieces of silk, and one good horse...all the generals will be rewarded for their achievements.

"Marquis of Weibei..." The emperor standing on the high platform shouted, but Xie Qichen didn't see Xie Qichen stepping forward to reply, and shouted again, "Xie Aiqing..."

Xie Qichen stood still for a long time and did not come forward, the generals started to discuss in a low voice, Xi Jin who was standing beside him was anxious, and Mulan who was on the other side was bolder, stepped forward and gently pushed him, and reminded in a low voice: "General Xie, the emperor is talking to you."

"The minister is here." Xie Qichen said in a mellow voice, knelt on the ground and clasped his fists.

Tuoba Tao couldn't help being surprised, wondering why his love would be disturbed, but he didn't show it on his face, and asked with a smile: "I heard that you were shot by Wu Ti, the eldest prince of Rouran, how is your injury?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Your subject is fine."

"It's so good. Rouran doesn't give up for a day, and the responsibility of resisting the enemy and defending the land still rests on you. If there is a general like this, I am very pleased."

Xie Qichen heard that the emperor placed high hopes on him, so he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately replied: "To protect the family and the country, I will not hesitate to die!"

His eloquent words stirred in his heart and turned into pain and helplessness. He fought on the battlefield and cared about his homeland. If he could choose, he only wanted to live an ordinary life with the woman he loves.But now, only by completely repelling Rouran, can he take off his heavy armor and fulfill his promise to Zhiqing.Looking at the undulating hills in the sky, he sighed silently in his heart, the battle of Shengle was won for Wei, but lost for him, but this battle is not over yet, Qing'er, wait for me, this time Once I will kill Tui Rouran and rescue you.

After rewarding the three armies, the emperor did not leave in a hurry, he stayed in Shengle City, and he had another calculation in his mind.Tuoba Tao is well versed in the art of war, and he came to the front line just for the imperial conquest. After studying the terrain and the situation for the past few days, he has made up his mind.But before making it clear, Tuoba Tao summoned Xie Qichen, one to gain his support, and the other to find out the hidden worries in his heart.General Weiyuan has always been decisive and resolute in dealing with things, Tuoba Tao really doesn't know what can distract the famous General Changsheng.

After he inquired, unexpectedly Xie Qichen immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, "I am guilty."

Tuoba Tao was taken aback, "What is your crime?"

"Whoever brings a woman into the camp will be executed! I violated the military law..." Wei Guo and Rouran will have another battle at some point, Xie Qichen is determined to rescue Zhiqing no matter what, and now he doesn't want to hide it.

He explained the whole story, and Tuobatao laughed out loud after hearing it, "Xie Qichen, Xie Qichen, I didn't expect you to have a tough and tender side. Back then, my younger sister, Princess Yunzhao, was interested in you, but you refused in every possible way. An embroidery girl."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"The enemy is in front of me, how can I punish you for offending me? In this way, our monarchs and ministers are united, and when I defeat Rouran, I will give you a marriage!"
