After Wu Ti's personal guards ordered the withdrawal of troops, they quickly retreated to the rear camp.The main general was injured, Rouran's army was in a state of confusion, and the [-] cavalry surrounded by clouds were instantly disintegrated.

Rouran's large tent of the Chinese army.

The imperial doctor and military doctor who accompanied the army were checking Wu Ti's injuries. Seeing their sweating profusely, Wu Ti's situation was not very optimistic.Zhiqing was sitting on the side of the bed, Wu Ti held onto her hand tightly when she fainted, and she didn't let go even now that she was unconscious, so she had to be by his side all the time.

"How is your Highness injured?" Wu Luohou asked anxiously.

The imperial doctor wiped the sweat from his brow, "The most urgent thing is to pull out the arrow, but the wound is close to the heart, I'm afraid..."

Zhiqing looked at Wu Ti's sleeping pale face, her heart was more complicated than ever, although she was no longer simply grateful to him, but no matter what, she didn't want him to die.Zhi Qing cheered up and took a deep breath, "Draw out the arrow."

"This..." Several people hesitated and dared not do anything. At this moment, Wu Ti's personal guards were inside and outside the big tent. In case something happened to the prince, they were wondering whether they should wait for the prime minister.

Wu Ti was on the verge of life and death, and the longer it dragged on, the more dangerous it would be.Zhiqing understood what these people were thinking after a little thought. She looked around in the tent, probably no one here would dare to guarantee Wu Ti's life, and as for Jin Canzi, he was absolutely untrustworthy.At this time, she was still in the Rouran military camp, and Zhiqing knew very well that she could only live if Wu Ti lived, so she couldn't let Wu Ti die.

Zhiqing gave Wu Luohou a look, and Wu Luohou immediately put the knife on the imperial doctor's neck, "Hurry up and save Your Highness!"

The atmosphere in the tent had dropped to freezing point, and the imperial doctor and military doctor didn't dare to breathe, so they hurriedly got busy.The imperial doctor took out a small knife from the medicine box and roasted it on the fire, preparing to extract arrows for Wu.He used a knife to gouge out the skin attached to the arrow bit by bit, then pressed Wu Ti's chest with one hand and held the body of the arrow with the other hand, and pulled out the arrow with all his strength——

Blood gushed out like a gush, Zhiqing was startled suddenly, and covered the wound with a white cotton cloth beside him with one hand, "What are you waiting for, medicine, hemostatic medicine!"

The military doctor frantically flipped through the medicine box, took out a medicine bottle and handed it to the imperial doctor, who shivered and poured a lot of powder into the wound.He covered the wound with his hands and prayed intermittently, "Your Highness...Your Highness...you have to hold on..."

"Pfft..." Wu Ti's whole body trembled suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out again.

Zhiqing pursed her lips, stared at Wu Ti with red eyes, put one hand on the hand he was holding her, a voice in her heart shouted over and over again, don't die, don't die...

Perhaps hearing her inner voice, Wu Ti, who was in a coma, seemed to relax a bit, his eyebrows eased, and the hand holding her also relaxed.Zhiqing took out her right hand and held his big hand with both hands.

In and out of the big tent, everyone was busy.

"Your Highness!" Someone walked in quickly from outside the tent, Zhiqing looked up and saw that it was Jin Canzi.Jin Canzi looked at the unconscious Wu Ti, his brows were deeply furrowed, but his expression was inexplicable, making it hard to tell what he was thinking.

This was the first time Zhiqing and Jin Canzi met in the military camp.Jin Canzi just glanced at Zhiqing, then turned to ask the imperial doctor, "How is your Highness's injury?"

The imperial doctor bowed and said: "The arrow has been taken out, and the bleeding has stopped. As long as you can survive tonight, Your Highness should be fine."

Jin Canzi's complexion widened, and when he was about to instruct the imperial doctor, Shaodun hurried in from outside the tent, and just about to report, he looked at the people in the big tent, and swallowed back the words on his lips.Jin Canzi's expression darkened in dissatisfaction, and he led Shaodun out of the camp.

Zhiqing pulled down Wu Luohou's sleeve while the imperial doctor and others were discussing about prescribing medicine. Wu Luohou understood and quietly left the camp.

When he came back, the imperial doctor and military doctor had already considered the prescription and planned to cook it.After everyone went down, apart from the unconscious Wu Ti, there were only Zhiqing and Wu Luohou in the big tent.

Wu Luohou sighed heavily, and said regretfully, "Wu Chuan was lost, and all the [-] cavalry in Yuhun were lost, and only brought back a thousand stragglers. If His Highness wakes up and knows..."

Zhiqing was a little puzzled, "It's just the military situation, why didn't Shaodun report it face to face?"

"Maybe it's because I'm afraid of disturbing His Highness." He thought for a while, and then said: "Before sending troops, His Highness had already made careful arrangements, but due to a secret report from the prime minister, he temporarily changed the main battlefield from Wuchuan to Yunzhong. Now that Wuchuan is lost, everyone Khan knows that he will be furious, even if the Prime Minister is willing to bear it, His Highness will probably be implicated as well."

Seeing Wu Luohou's pity and worry, Zhiqing knew that there was something wrong with this battle, and also confirmed his inference that there were spies in the Wei army.She tentatively said: "Wu Ti is the main general, and the prime minister is just an assistant. Wu Ti should be responsible for the defeat, right?" Zhiqing sighed, looking at Wu Ti who still closed his eyes, "He is so hurt, I don't know Will Da Khan be punished heavily?"

"Your Highness didn't intend to ambush in the clouds. It was the prime minister who insisted on going his own way. He objected to His Highness deploying heavy troops in Wuchuan to involve troops, and that's why we lost today." Afraid of her worry, Wu Luohou said bluntly: "I heard it clearly from outside the tent that day. Chu, the Prime Minister assured His Highness that if Wu Chuan is lost, he will go and plead guilty to Da Khan. Now His Highness is seriously injured again, and this time, the Prime Minister..."

Zhiqing carefully considered Wu Luohou's words in his mind. It seemed that Jin Canzi had made a big mistake this time. If it was reported back to the royal court, his status in front of Da Khan would probably plummet.Judging from the current situation, Rouran should be unable to fight again after suffering such a big defeat in a short period of time. Without Jin Canzi's selfish main battle, Wei Guo and Rouran might not have to fight.Thinking of this, Zhiqing's brows relaxed, as if she had seen some dawn of peace, and there was an unbelievable excitement in her heart.But when she calmed down, she faintly felt that something was wrong, Jin Canzi was scheming, would he let something unfavorable to him happen?Besides... She looked at Wu Ti, as long as he is fine.

Seeing that Zhiqing's brows were deeply furrowed, Wu Luohou didn't know what she was thinking, but he didn't want to disturb her either.After half the payment, the imperial doctor came in from outside with a tray in his hand.

Wu Luohou took the decoction from the imperial doctor and sent it to Zhiqing, "His Royal Highness's medicine is ready."

She regained her senses for a moment, looked at the dark brown medicinal juice that night, and reached out to take the medicinal bowl from his hand.The medicine was still hot, Zhiqing scooped up a spoonful and put it on her lips and blew on it.The imperial doctor standing on the side stared blankly at the bowl of medicine, and stared at every movement of Zhiqing... Feeling a strong gaze, Zhiqing turned her head and saw the imperial doctor beating on both sides of her body His hands trembled a little, and looking at his face, his paleness was livid, like a person who was being tortured and frightened.

Unexpectedly, the imperial doctor met Zhiqing's probing eyes, immediately lowered his head guiltyly, and clasped his trembling hands.A sense of ominousness rose in Zhiqing's heart, and she looked down at the decoction in her hand, all she could smell was the bitter and strong smell of medicine.

She leaned forward to deliver the medicine to Wu Ti, but suddenly her wrist trembled and accidentally dropped the medicine bowl to the ground. "ah!"

"What's the matter, is the medicine too hot?" Wu Luohou asked with concern.Seeing Zhiqing nodding, he hurriedly asked the imperial doctor to boil another medicine as soon as possible.

As soon as the imperial doctor walked out of the big tent, Zhiqing pushed Wu Luohou away, and immediately pulled out the only silver hairpin on his head and put it into the remaining medicine juice in the bowl. After a while, the hairpin turned black and black.Her worries about Jin Canzi had already been answered by this bowl of medicine.Zhiqing handed the hairpin to Wu Luohou, who froze in place in shock and anger, unable to utter a word...

Jin Canzi is sinister, vicious and thoughtful. As soon as he got the battle report from Shaodun, he immediately took action. His thunderous wrist is probably unparalleled in Rouran.As the eldest prince of Rouran, Wu Ti is in charge of the commander-in-chief of the army. Now that he is seriously injured, it is difficult to protect himself. Even if he returns to the royal court alive, the internal fighting in Rouran will only intensify in the future.Jin Canzi can't tolerate Duo Lun. After this battle, he may not support Wu Ti again. Da Tan Khan only has two grown sons, and the other little princes are too young... Could it be that his ambition and ambition are not there at all? this?

The flickering candlelight reflected Wu Ti's side face, his eyes were closed tightly, and people felt panic in the quiet big tent at this moment.

Wu Luohou clenched the knife in his hand, turned around quickly, and walked towards the tent.Zhiqing was awakened by his movement, and quickly ran over to block him, "What are you doing! Don't act rashly, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"

Wu Luohou lowered his voice, "I'll kill the imperial doctor to see who dares to poison His Highness again!"

"Do you think anyone other than the prime minister has such courage!" Zhiqing pulled Wu Luohou back, glared at him and said, "This time Rouran was defeated, do you think Jin Canzi would be willing to bear the consequences? Wu Once Ti dies, he can put all the responsibility for the defeated soldiers on him, so that Khan will not blame him for his son's death."

The prince of Rouran died in battle. As long as Jin Canzi transports Wu Ti's body back, the entire Rouran royal family is bound to be angered. At that time, both Da Tan Khan and Duo Lun will probably fight Wei Guo to avenge Wu Ti. .Thinking of this level, Zhiqing couldn't help shivering. Zhiqing knew a little about the grudge between Jin Canzi and Wei Guo from her grandfather and Xin Yihua, but the resentment was so deep.Perhaps what the concubine in the deep palace couldn't let go of was the previous relationship, but what Jin Canzi couldn't let go of was evil thoughts and evil thoughts.

"What should we do now?" Wu Luohou looked at Zhiqing worriedly. It was the first time he had been in such a situation after following His Highness Wu Ti for many years. court.

The most important thing now is not to startle the snake, but to heal Wu Ti as soon as possible.Zhiqing asked Wu Luohou to bring someone to take care of His Royal Highness later, in the name of taking care of His Royal Highness, to invite the imperial doctor and military doctor to the side tent next to the big tent to cook medicine, and sent cronies to monitor them at all times, so that they would have no chance to do anything again.Under the current situation, Wu Ti is still in charge of mobilizing troops. His two trusted lieutenants, although Yuhun was defeated and the remaining troops are useless, Afugan has been in charge of guarding the Yunzhong Camp. Canzi didn't dare to offend for the time being.but……

"Golden Canzi is not successful in poisoning, so I should find a chance to do it." Zhiqing said worriedly.

The prime minister was very scheming, and she was afraid that she would not be able to catch up even if she flattered her. Although Jin Canzi had scruples now, when he really had to be ruthless, he would definitely kill all those who were unfavorable to him without hesitation.It is normal for a few people to die on the battlefield, he can easily find excuses, the truth seems too far away to Rouran Royal Court, which is thousands of miles away.

"Then..." Wu Luohou walked back and forth impatiently, "I'll ask Qi Jin to recruit more people!"

"Wait!" Zhiqing called to stop Wu Luohou, "Qi Jin has more important tasks!"

She walked to the table and took out a piece of parchment, ink, wrote in handwriting, and quickly wrote a letter to him.Wu Luohou read the letter and asked back: "You want to send this letter back to the royal court? But the far water can't solve the near fire..."

Zhiqing shook her head, "Let Qi Jin send this letter to Duo Lun, he will definitely find a way to rescue us. Apart from saving ourselves, we have to wait for time for foreign aid, so that we will be safe." Da Tan Khan has a golden silkworm by his side. His son's eyeliner, the ministers in the royal court should also have his people, so they can only go to Duo Lun.

"But His Royal Highness Duo Lun..."

"We have to try anyway, we have to act fast, otherwise it will be too late when the prime minister blocks the news!"

Under Zhiqing's urging, Wu Luohou immediately went out of the tent to find someone to arrange it.When she was the only one in the big tent, Zhiqing relaxed her tense body wearily, and took a deep breath.It was already the beginning of moonlight outside, looking at the moonlight, she closed her eyes, and the scene of fighting on the battlefield today still clearly appeared in front of her eyes.The yellow sand rose from the valley, the rain of arrows whizzed by, the soldiers of Wei Guo and Rouran were sticking together and fighting with swords, and the arrow that shot into Wu Ti's chest - with a fierce murderous look.

She only glanced at him, then Wu Ti was seriously injured, and under the escort of the Rouran cavalry, the distance between her and him became farther and farther.She knew that he was leading the army to chase after the army. If she let go of Wu Ti's hand, maybe they would meet again in the chaos...

The night was getting dark, and the howling of wolves and the low cry of nighthawks came from the depths of the vast plain outside the barracks.Having stayed in the barracks for a long time, Zhiqing was already used to the nights in Mobei.She sat beside Wu Ti's bed for a long time, looking at him and guarding him alone. Since she couldn't respond to his feelings, she had no choice but to take good care of him now.

Wu Ti's medicine was warming on the stove. After the imperial doctor had fried it and delivered it, she checked it again. It was not poisonous, and the whole tent smelled of bitter medicine.Zhiqing was wiping Wu Ti's forehead with a hot cotton kerchief when suddenly, his eyelashes moved and he slowly opened his eyes.

The candlelight pierced his eyes a little sour, and in the dimness, he saw her looking at him worriedly.The two looked at each other for a while, and Wu Ti wanted to reach out to touch her beautiful face, but he touched the wound on his chest, causing unbearable pain for a while.

"You're injured, don't move around." Zhiqing patted his arm comfortingly, "What do you want to tell me?"

Wu Ti just shook his head, slightly bent his lips, showed a smile he hadn't seen in many days, and put his hand on Zhiqing's. "You still here……"

Zhiqing lowered her head and did not speak. After a while, she said, "It's time to take the medicine." She got up and brought the medicine bowl, and fed Wu Ti to drink one mouthful at a time.

Wu Ti just looked at her and cooperated with her movements. He really didn't want to break such warmth, just like when he was in Prince Xingyuan.But this tranquility didn't last long. At this moment, the soldiers' chaotic footsteps came from outside the tent. This sound——

Zhiqing was startled, it seemed that Jin Canzi had already acted.

"What happened?" Wu Ti's hoarse voice sounded in her ear.

Zhiqing eased her expression, and said: "I'm not very clear, but just now I heard Wu Luohou said that more soldiers will be sent to guard, probably for the sake of your safety."

She lied to Wu Ti because she knew him well, and once she knew what the prime minister had done, she was afraid that he would hurt him even more.It's just that Wu Luohou has not returned for a long time, and the guards next to the outside don't know if they can guard the big tent.

"The prime minister has an order to protect His Highness closely, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without the prime minister's order!" It was Shao Dun's voice.

Zhiqing felt a pain in her wrist, and turned to look at Wu Ti, waiting for an explanation, when Shaodun, who was outside the tent, had already walked in to the couch.She held Wu Ti's hand back, and said calmly: "Shaodun, you don't want to die, how dare you break into the big tent!"

"I dare not!" Shao Dun knelt on the ground and saluted, then looked up at Wu Ti, "The prime minister asked me to see if His Highness's injury has improved."

"Go back and tell the Prime Minister that I'm fine, remove all the people outside, my guards are enough." Wu Ti said coldly.

"Your Highness..." Shao Dun's expression was uncertain, and he stood up in a blink of an eye, "The Prime Minister was worried about the night attack of the Wei army, so he sent troops to guard His Highness. The Prime Minister said... Please rest assured, Your Highness recovers from your injuries... Don't worry about other things. "He said as he walked, and he was already in front of Zhiqing.

"You!" Zhiqing glared at Shaodun, "Could it be that the prime minister sent you here not to protect His Highness but to poison him! Shaodun, you should think clearly, if you commit the following crimes, Da Khan will not spare you! Think about your clansmen, you Do you think the prime minister can protect you?"

Shao Dun hesitated for a moment, Zhiqing took advantage of his unpreparedness to pull out the hairpin and stab him into his shoulder, but her strength was limited after all, this little injury couldn't stop Shao Dun at all.Shao Dun pushed Zhiqing to the ground, and cast a cold glance at her, "The Prime Minister said earlier that the women in the Central Plains are alluring and scheming, His Highness Wu Ti was seriously injured, and you took the opportunity to poison and kill His Highness."

"Shao Dun, I'm going to kill you!" Wu Ti struggled up, his chest was already red with blood.

"Your Highness, I obey the Prime Minister, I can only be sorry for you." He said, and took out a medicine bottle from his body.

"Wu Ti..."

Accompanied by Zhiqing's exclamation, the whole camp fell into turmoil in an instant, the shouts of killing and the sound of swords and swords were getting closer and closer, and the shouts of Rouran soldiers were filled outside the tent——

"Wei Jun is here, Wei Jun is here!"

"Food and grass are burned, put out the fire quickly!"

"Protect Your Highness..."

Shaodun was also surprised, but since Wei Jun came to invade, he just took advantage of the chaos to complete the task assigned by the prime minister.He turned his head, sent the poison to Wu Ti's mouth with one hand, and pressed his arrow wound tightly with the other hand.

"Stop!" Zhiqing got up from the ground and hugged Shaodun's arm.

Wu Ti's face was as white as paper, he tried his best to block Shao Dun, and said intermittently: "You, you go quickly... Xie, Xie Qichen is here... You go with him!"

"Shaodun, you dare to kill him..." Zhiqing picked up the copper bowl and smashed it on his head.

Zhiqing's entanglement angered Shaodun, he turned around and pushed her to the ground, and pulled out the knife from his waist, "I'll kill you first!"

The sharp blade slashed at Zhiqing, she closed her eyes obediently, a strong wind passed by her ears, there was a sound of the sword sinking into her body, and she fell to the ground in response.Zhiqing opened her eyes in horror, and Xie Qichen's saber was thrust into Shaodun's body impressively.

"Zhiqing!" Xie Qichen strode in, pulled her up on the ground, and wiped away the tears on her face, "Go, I'll take you away!"

"No...wait a minute..." She threw herself onto a small cabinet next to the bed in a daze and panic, and took out the wound medicine left by the imperial doctor, "He, he will die..."

Zhiqing hurriedly opened Wu Ti's clothes, held the medicine bottle tightly with trembling hands, and gave him the medicine.The shouting and killing outside the tent never stopped, Zhiqing wanted to bandage up after applying the medicine, but couldn't do it anyway, tears fell like rain.

Wu Ti looked weakly at Zhiqing for the last time, and slowly closed her eyes.Xie Qichen, who was standing aside and waiting, couldn't bear to see Zhiqing like this, so he grabbed the things in her hand, and hastily bandaged Wu Ti.

"Let's go." Xie Qichen looked at Zhiqing.

Zhiqing raised her face and looked at him fixedly, and finally nodded.Xie Qichen untied his coat and put it on her body, pulled out the sword from Shaodun's body, and led Zhi Qing out of the tent.He got onto a horse with Zhiqing in his arms, and just as he was about to ride the horse away, Wu Luohou had already brought people towards the big tent.

"Drive!" Xie Qichen rushed over.

Zhiqing passed by Wu Luohou on the horse. Under the deep moonlight, she shed tears and looked at Wu Ti's big tent for the last time...
