After raising her for a few days, Zhiqing's illness gradually recovered.Her camp was next to the large one, and Yiying's diet was the same as that of Wu Ti's. With his favor, her illness would naturally heal quickly.Rouran was stationed in Yunzhong, and would often harass nearby villages and towns. Whatever they wanted, they only had to ride a horse and take a stroll around.Although Zhiqing hated Wu Ti for allowing his subordinates to plunder, she found sadly that she was actually enjoying their spoils.Fearing that she would be bored, Wu Ti prepared silk and satin for her to pass the time, and all the daily necessities came from the state of Wei.

After the first two days of Zhiqing's illness, Wu Ti even had a [-]- or [-]-year-old girl brought from Border Township, saying that she was there to take care of her.At that time, when she saw the man whose face was pale with fright, kneeling on the ground trembling and weeping, she was so angry that she couldn't say a word. After calming down for a long time, she stared at him forcefully and asked him to send him back.Seeing that she didn't appreciate it at all, Wu Ti angrily left without saying a word.So until now, this little girl named Yu'er has been living in the camp with Zhiqing.

Yu'er is fair and delicate, although she is ordinary in appearance, she has the cuteness of Xiaojiabiyu.She is very timid, she dare not go out of the camp easily, she avoids Rouran people like a scourge, when she sees them, her legs become weak and she can't even speak.The two of them can't speak a few words a day, and most of the time, Zhiqing will do whatever she says, but in all fairness, with Yu'er by her side, Zhiqing feels a little better. If she were to face Wu Ti all day, She really didn't know what to do.

Now that her illness is cured, shouldn't she find a way to get Wu Ti to send her back? After all, Zhiqing herself is just a prisoner, and she really shouldn't drag another girl from Wei State into the Rouran military camp. Dangerous.She was in a daze, only to hear Yu'er's trembling voice, "Little, little, miss..."

Zhiqing raised her head and saw Duo Lun standing at the door with her hands behind her back.Since she was in the Rouran military camp, she hadn't seen him. She thought he had returned to the royal court, and she didn't want to see him today.Duo Lun's slender and tall figure blocked the cold wind blowing in through the gaps in the curtain, making Zhiqing feel a little more warmth on her body.

"Are you okay?" He looked at her and asked, with some concern in his tone.

"I thought you had returned to the royal court." Zhiqing also looked at him and said.

Duo Lun smiled helplessly at himself, "I should go back to see Father Khan, Wu has kicked me out early, but I have been writing an apology and delayed for a few days." He pondered for a while, and said with a shame on his face: "Zhiqing, I'm leaving tomorrow, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do this time."

Zhiqing was startled, and looked at Duo Lun seriously, his face seemed to be thinner than before, his eyes were dull and lifeless, there was no smile but bitterness on the corners of his lips, and he looked lonely and melancholy. "Doron, you have helped me a lot, but there is nothing I can do to help you."

"That's what friends talk about."

The two stood facing each other for a while, perhaps because the space in the tent was limited, which made the silence between them even more stifling. "Let's go for a walk."

Doron nodded, turned and walked out.Zhiqing looked at Yu'er, who bowed her head silently beside her, walked quickly a few steps, opened the curtain and followed.She froze as soon as she came out——

There was a group of guards standing outside the tent, and Zhiqing glanced at them. The leader was Qi Jin, but he didn't know whether he was here to stare at Duo Lun or her.Qijin saw Zhiqing walking out of the camp, stretched out his arms to stop him, and said, "His Highness Wu Ti is not in the camp now, please miss Zhiqing to stay."

"We're just walking around. If you're worried, you can send someone to follow." Duo Lun dragged Zhi Qing forward, but Qi Jin couldn't help it, so he had to bring a group of people to follow.

Zhiqing followed Duo Lun all the way, and she didn't come out for a long time. Even if the cold wind hit her face, she felt comfortable, so she took a deep breath.When he was about to exit the camp, he ran into Duo Sufeng.

Duo Sufeng just heard that Prince Duo Lun will return to Rouran tomorrow, and he must stay and take orders from Prince Wu Ti. He is so angry that he wants to ask Duo Lun for clarification.At this time, I met Duo Lun and Zhiqing, and before I could speak, I saw Qi Jin and others following behind, and immediately rushed over and grabbed Qi Jin.

"You dare to spy on Your Highness, I'll kill you!" He roared angrily and was about to draw his knife.

"Duo Su Feng!" Duo Lun shouted.Duo Sufeng stopped immediately, sighed unwillingly, but let go. "You watch them for me, I have something to tell Zhiqing, don't let them come forward."

Duo Sufeng took the order and stopped Qi Jin and other guards at the camp.Duolun and Zhiqing walked forward and stopped on a hill.Today's weather is a bit gloomy, the sun is covered by overcast clouds, and in front of their eyes are only the endless plains, and there are bursts of yellow sand blown by the cold wind.

Zhiqing looked at Duo Lun beside her and asked, "Don't you blame Wu Ti for treating you like this?"

Duo Lun glanced at her with a half-smile, "He's just afraid that I'll save you again." After finishing speaking, his eyes drifted to the distance again, and he casually said with a hint of firmness in his heart: "I have always believed in Wu Ti , even though he is close to the prime minister, I never doubt our brotherhood."

"He said he needed the support of the prime minister. But I think Wu Ti underestimated Jin Canzi's city and couldn't control his ambitions." Zhiqing told Duo Lun that Jin Canzi had planted an eyeliner next to Da Tan Khan and treated him He knows every move of his heart like the back of his hand, which is beyond the boundaries of a courtier.

After returning to Rouran, Duo Lun found that his disagreement with Prime Minister Jin Canzi was getting bigger and bigger, and the rift between them gradually became irreparable. Coupled with the prime minister's position in the royal court, Duo Lun began to feel that Jin Canzi was very important to the royal court. It is a dangerous existence.Hearing what Zhiqing said now, he was even more sure of his thoughts.

"Maybe he has some conspiracy, but I don't know it yet. I must go back to the royal court as soon as possible to inform Father Khan."

"One more thing." Zhiqing recalled the experience of escaping death with Zhuzi. She looked at Duo Lun and said, "Do you still remember the day you put Zhuzi and I left? We were robbed and killed on the way. killed five Rouran soldiers, if you hadn't shot the leader with your bow and crossbow, we should have died."

Doron turned his head in shock, and asked incredulously, "Did you see the leader clearly?"

Those people seemed to believe that they must die, so there was no cover, "It's Shaodun."

Duo Lun said without hesitation: "It must be the prime minister's order."

"I think the same way. I'm afraid Jin Canzi just wants Wu Ti to break with you completely, and control Wu Ti better to achieve his ulterior motives."

"What is the prime minister's purpose..." Duo Lun muttered to himself.He had a faint feeling, as if it was a conspiracy from the very beginning, whether it was Heqintu, magnolia flowers, or this war, everything was led by the prime minister.

"Duo Lun, when you go back this time, you should let Da Tan Khan understand that what Rouran wants to solve is not the war with Wei, but the division within Rouran is the top priority. Only in this way can the disaster of war between the two countries be eliminated..."

Duo Lun stared fixedly at Zhi Qing, her wit and intelligence always made him suddenly enlightened, if Wu Ti had her by his side, it would be more reassuring to inherit his father's position in the future. "Zhiqing, Wu Ti needs you and cares about you, you really can't..."

"Duo Lun!" Zhiqing interrupted him, "I said, once I have made a decision, I will never turn back."

Duo Lun sighed, looked at her determined expression and thought of Mulan again, and said with a wry smile, "If Mulan was like you, maybe she and I would not be where we are now."

"You should be glad that Mulan is not me. I am a selfish person, without Mulan's bravery, so I never want to cross the barriers of countries and nations. But Mulan loves you, and she also wanted to be with you, but it was just a coincidence. Wrong, later Wei Guo went to war with Rouran... Duo Lun, don't blame Mulan."

Zhiqing knew that what she said hurt Duo Lun a bit, although many things were not his fault, but the fact is the way it is now.From Zhiqing's point of view, the starting point of her choice is all for herself, but Mulan is standing on the basis of national justice. Since she joined the army for her father and became a soldier on the battlefield, defending her family and country, sacrificing her life, could it be that she is it wrong?No, she was right.She is just different from most ordinary people, putting 'country' before 'home'.From this point of view, Mulan and Xie Qichen are actually the same kind of person, while she and Duo Lun are the most ordinary and ordinary people.

"I don't blame her." Duo Lun said softly, pain flashed in his eyes, "I don't know when I will see Mulan again when I leave tomorrow."

Zhiqing wanted to comfort Duo Lun, but was startled by the sudden shout behind her.They turned around and saw He Hong pushing away the guards guarding the camp and striding over.She should have thought, Duo Lun didn't leave, how could He Hong go back obediently.

With a headache, Duo Lun looked at He Hong who had rushed towards him with an angry face in a blink of an eye. He Hong stared at Zhi Qing, wishing to swallow her alive.She didn't have a whip in her hand today, so she raised her hand when she got angry, but Duo Lun clamped it down.

"What do you want to do!"

He Hong shook off Duo Lun's hand, pushed him, stared at him but pointed at Zhi Qing, "What do I want to do? She lied to me in the royal court, and I've been looking for you for a long time, but you are chatting with her here, I'm furious!"

"When did I lie to you?" Zhiqing looked at her innocently, and then acted as if she just remembered, "You mean the letter I gave you, but everything in the letter is actually true, otherwise Do you want to ask Doron?"

"Ask what?" Doron looked at them suspiciously.

Of course, He Hong would not tell the story that she asked Zhiqing how to make Duo Lun fall in love with her back then, but the so-called well-written letter actually only wrote two points, one is kind and brave, and the other is that she is good at weaving. embroidered.She knew she was being tricked, but she just couldn't say it out, her face turning pale and red from anger.

"You..." He Hong angrily stepped forward to arrest Zhiqing.

Duo Lun blocked her and said impatiently: "I will go back to the royal court tomorrow to apologize to Father Khan, He Hong, can you let me be quiet for a while."

"What kind of crime is it? It's not your fault. It's because Wu Ti's rescue failed. I'm a witness. When I return to the royal court, I'll file a complaint with Da Khan!"

"Nonsense!" A low voice scolded.

He Hong turned to look sideways, with a smile on her face, "Father, why are you here?"

Jin Canzi behind him was sitting on a tall maroon horse, and beside him was Wu Ti.Wu Ti's expression was cold and solemn, and with the backdrop of a thousand-man cavalry behind him, he looked even more desolate.

Jin Canzi looked at Duo Lun as he bowed his head to express his salute, then glanced at his daughter displeasedly, and said in a low and plain voice with irresistible majesty, "The Great Khan ordered me to lead [-] cavalry to support His Highness Wu Ti. Fight against the Kingdom of Wei. Your Highness Duolun, the Great Khan is still alive, so I want you to return to Rouran immediately."

Duo Lun smiled calmly, "You don't have to worry, Prime Minister, I will return to the royal court tomorrow."

"That way, the old minister can rest assured." Jin Canzi smiled slightly, and turned his gaze to Zhiqing, who narrowed his eyes.

When Zhiqing heard that Jin Canzi said that he would lead [-] troops, his heart skipped a beat. Rouran's [-] cavalry faced Shengle City... She looked towards the direction of the camp, and the mighty cavalry marched in. It seemed that Rouran's heart to destroy Wei was still alive. .She was turning her head to see Duo Lun's reaction, but when she met Jin Canzi's sharp eyes full of murderous intent, she suddenly felt her scalp go numb.

She lowered her head and saluted timidly, "His Highness Wu Ti, Prime Minister."

"This is..." Jin Canzi looked at Wu Ti meaningfully.

Wu Ti said nothing, got off the horse and walked up to Zhiqing, blocking Jin Canzi's gaze.He took off his outer robe and put it on Zhiqing's body, his expression relaxed, and said: "Your illness is just right, be careful of catching a cold." Then he turned his head and stared at Duo Lun, "You take her out to blow the cold wind when you have nothing to do?"

Duo Lun didn't refute, and said with a low eyebrow, "I was negligent, so I'll go back."

Zhiqing and Duo Lun returned to the barracks together, and He Hong's delicate and savage voice was faintly heard behind him.She didn't care to listen to what they had to say, her whole heart was trembling, Rouran was about to attack Wei Guo again, this time it might be an unprecedented war.Can he win?What should I do by myself?

……

Shengle City, inside the government office.

Wei Emperor Tuoba Tao has always lived in the government office and set up a military office. For several days, he called Xie Qichen, Changsun Han, Lou Fulian, Xi Jin and other generals to discuss combat strategies.Rouran's [-] iron cavalry are approaching the city, and all the soldiers of Wei State will add up to [-].However, in the face of the disparity in military strength, Tuoba Tao was not afraid at all. He had already made up his mind, but he never revealed his true thoughts.

In front of the sand table, listening to the generals talking, Tuoba Tao looked at Xie Qichen skillfully, and Xie Qichen nodded knowingly.Tuoba Tao likes to take risks, this time he decided to preemptively strike, using himself as a bait to go deep alone, and make a move to get rid of the bottom line.The strategy for this battle has been decided, in order to prevent the leakage of information, only Tuoba Tao and Xie Qichen know the whole battle plan, the other generals will only follow their orders.

However, the war was imminent, Xie Qichen was busy with military affairs all day, and the wound on his shoulder that had healed was in pain.It was dark at night, and military doctor Wei Tuo was still called into the Chinese army tent.

Except for the armor on his body, Xie Qichen revealed his strong upper body.He tilted his head and asked, "How is my injury?"

Wei Tuo checked it carefully, and said humbly: "The general has worked day and night, and the wound is a bit inflamed. Apply medicine and rest for a while and it will heal."

"Apply medicine." Xie Qichen said lightly.

Wei Tuo's technique of applying the medicine was quick and light, and the gauze was soon entangled.While bandaging, he observed Xie Qichen's expression, and said slowly: "I heard that Rouran's army is about to fight again, I don't know...general...does he have a perfect way to fight against the enemy?"

Xie Qichen didn't say a word at first, but when he asked about the tactics of battle, doubts suddenly arose in his heart.Sharp eyes shot at Wei Tuo, and Shen Run's voice was cold, "Why do you ask this?"

Wei Tuo lowered his head in panic, and replied timidly: "On that day, the eldest prince of Rouran, Wu Ti, bloodbathed the barracks. Yes, it was Luo Qing who threatened him with death to stop the army, just to delay our army from being attacked. People... the villain only hopes that General Xie can save him..."

Xie Qichen listened to Wei Tuo's words in a daze, and waved him away.But when Wei Tuo walked to the tent, he said coldly: "You are just a military doctor, remember your duty."

Wei Tuo repeatedly said yes, and hurried out of the big tent.

The flickering candlelight shone on Xie Qichen's face, he closed his eyes, and tightly grasped the saber on his desk... He must win this battle!
