Song Yaoxu noticed Qi Zizhen's movements, stretched out his hand and gently held his hand under the table, and then told Qin Gong that the Southwest General wanted to capture Qi Zizhen alive, and asked his opinion.

Qin Gong shook his head after hearing this, and overturned Qi Zizhen and Song Yaoxu's previous speculation: "This forbidden technique has extremely strict requirements on people who are 'heinous'. They must be pure villains who have no good intentions in their hearts. The military advisor does not meet the requirements." this condition.

"Furthermore, according to what the military counselor said just now, General Southwest probably chose the sacrificial person when stealing the current king's fate before, but couldn't meet the truly heinous requirements. As a result, the forbidden technique was not completely successful, and only half of the fate was stolen. "

After explaining this, Qin Gong denied it before they raised another possibility: "In addition, this forbidden technique can only be used once. The taker's own fate is also annihilated."

That is to say, it is impossible for General Southwest to capture Qi Zizhen alive as a sacrifice, nor is it possible to steal his life.

Then what could be the reason for him?

Just based on the little information they know so far, after the only two possibilities have been denied, they can't think of a third one for the time being.

"In short." Song Yaoxu said suddenly, "During this period of time, Zizhen should not be alone to avoid any accidents."

Now they are not far from the territory of the Southwest General. There have been several battles before and Song Yaoxu's army has increased in number.

Of course Qi Zizhen didn't want to be caught doing those weird things, so he nodded obediently.

Tang Leyuan, who also doesn't like things about gods and ghosts, put the medicine bowl in his hand in front of Qi Zizhen, and said, "You are still sick, so don't think about these things for now. Drink the soup while it's still cold."

After Qi Zizhen thanked him softly, he picked up the soup and drank it in a small sip. The familiar bitter taste spread in his mouth, which pulled him back from the gloomy state of mind just now.

He put down the medicine bowl, and asked again: "Then where will our army go next? It's not an option to stay here all the time. I've gotten better recently, and there should be no problem marching during the day."

At present, the forces sent by the Wumeng Kingdom to the border area of ​​the Ling Dynasty have been cleared for the time being, and there seems to be not much movement from the Southwest General. The next step is whether they will take the initiative to attack, or retreat to the city for defense is a very important choice .

After Qi Zizhen asked, Tang Leyuan and Qin Gong both looked at Song Yaoxu in unison.

As the coach, his decision is the most important in the face of such a major event.

Song Yaoxu pondered for a moment, and finally decided to approach the southwest border of Wumeng Kingdom.

The Southwest General is the most unstable factor on the northwestern border of the Ling Dynasty. If they don't get rid of the Southwest General, they can't feel at ease for a day.Instead of going back and waiting to die, it is better to take the initiative to attack, maybe you can win more initiative.

But the only thing he was worried about was whether Qi Zizhen's physical condition could support him to continue fighting.

Earlier, Qi Zizhen said that he could still stay in the tent and serve as a military adviser, but Song Yaoxu didn't feel at ease keeping him in the camp after the matter of General Southwest.

Qi Zizhen also considered this matter, held Song Yaoxu with his backhand under the table, and comforted softly: "My health is not so bad yet, it will be fine if I pay more attention."

Qin Gong on the side also said at this time: "During this period of time, the military adviser is also taking good care of himself. As long as he rests more, at least the situation like before should not happen again."

Hearing this, Song Yaoxu let out a sigh of relief, and smiled softly: "That's good. The weather may not be very good these days. Let's rest for two more days and then set off. How about it?"

Neither Qin Gong nor Tang Leyuan had any objections, and Qi Zizhen naturally nodded in agreement.

The itinerary was almost finalized, Tang Leyuan and Qin Gong retired first, and only Qi Zizhen and Song Yaoxu were left in the camp.

Qi Zizhen was still holding Song Yaoxu's hand, and the warm temperature came from his palm, dry and mild, which made people feel at ease.

He lowered his eyelashes slightly, and the curled eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes, covering the emotions in the black pupils.The thick snow-white fox fur with a fluffy collar wraps around his neck, accentuating his pale face.

Looking at a very fragile appearance, the thin and thin shoulders seemed to be unable to bear the backlog of Bai Xue.

But Song Yaoxu knew that his temperament was far more tenacious than his appearance, and he could withstand the fearless face of the enemy in the wind and snow, so how could he be crushed by a little snow.

Song Yaoxu smiled and said in a soft voice, "Does our little military advisor want to discuss the next itinerary with me?"

Qi Zizhen listened to his voice as usual, raised his eyes to look at him, and smiled again: "Okay."

In fact, he did feel guilty again because of his situation just now.

He is not in good health, and there is another Southwest General who is full of food and has nothing to do to target him. The already bad situation is made worse, and the people around him have to spend more effort to take care of him.

No matter who you change, no one will be in a good mood.

However, with Song Yaoxu treating him as usual, Qi Zizhen feels more or less comfortable in his heart.

In fact, his nature is still very good and strong, and he doesn't want to let himself become an oil bottle.

Qi Zizhen breathed a sigh of relief, got up and turned over the previous map, and studied the route with Song Yaoxu.

According to the markings on the map, if they can march normally, they are only about ten days away from the southwest town of Wumeng Kingdom.Considering that the weather is getting colder and the daily marching distance is reduced, it will only take about [-] days at most.

Among the three border cities in the Ling Dynasty, Fengshu County and Jiuyou County were relatively close to Southwest Town. If there was insufficient food and grass on the march, these two cities could temporarily support them.

There are not many routes from here to Southwest Town, and generally speaking, there are not many choices. The most important thing at present is how to deal with General Southwest.

Although I don't really know what fate is, but General Southwest stole most of the current king's fate. It is estimated that it will be much more difficult to deal with Wuhetu alone.

Moreover, Southwest Town is the fiefdom of General Southwest, with a strong military force. If they really want to face off, it seems that their chances of winning are really slim.

Qi Zizhen and Song Yaoxu calculated that they could barely reach [-] troops, looked at each other and tacitly chose not to mention this sad topic.

The two of them determined the specific itinerary plan, and then put away the map again.

Considering that Qi Zizhen needed more rest, Song Yaoxu didn't let him think too much, and accompanied him to read other scrolls in the tent.

Also in preparation for the march, Qi Zizhen obediently rested and drank more water in the next two days.

During the day, when Song Yaoxu had no time, he went to play with Tang Leyuan, and at night he went to sleep together in Song Yaoxu's camp, and his three meals a day and three soups and medicines were also very punctual, eating light and healthy, and practicing a sword in the tent from time to time When exercising.

Sometimes he would even recall the Tai Chi moves he had learned in this world for fun.

If it wasn't for the thermos cup and goji berries, he felt that he could live a healthy middle-aged life with goji berries in the thermos cup.

On the evening of November [-]th, the wind at the border finally calmed down a bit.

If it is confirmed that it will not suddenly snow again tomorrow morning, they can officially set off.

Qi Zizhen, who had just finished his dinner, stood in front of the tent and stretched, his complexion was rosier than before.

Song Yaoxu, who was in the tent, stepped forward, smiled helplessly and put on fox fur for him: "You don't want to wear one more, and you come to the tent door to blow the cold wind?"

Qi Zizhen just stood there obediently, allowing Song Yaoxu to tie the fox fur on him from behind, almost half-embracing him in his arms.

He sniffed the faint aroma from the tip of his nose, and with a smile on his lips, he leaned back: "Anyway, Your Highness won't let me catch a cold."

Song Yaoxu tapped his head lightly with one hand: "You still have to learn to take care of yourself."

He spoke educational words, but his tone was smiling, and it sounded more conniving.

Feeling the generous warmth behind him, Qi Zizhen lowered his eyelashes slightly: "I can still take care of myself, it's just..."

He paused and didn't continue talking.

Since the death of his real mother, he has learned to take care of himself, and he has also adapted to living alone.

It's just that once he has someone he can rely on at ease, he can't help but let himself indulge in time and time again, obviously he also knows in his heart that this should not be done.

He will leave sooner or later, why bother to indulge.

At that time, it will only add to the sadness.

Song Yaoxu didn't know what was really going on in his heart, but he was keenly aware of his sudden depression, thinking that he was remembering the past when he was alone in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He concentrated on fastening the fox fur for Qi Zizhen, then put one hand on Qi Zizhen's shoulder, rubbed his hair with the other, and said with a smile: "Since Zizhen trusts me so much, I have to fulfill my promise to take care of you." .”

Listening to his soft voice, Qi Zizhen restrained his original emotions, regained his cheerful appearance, and asked, "Is your Highness still busy tonight?"

Song Yaoxu nodded: "Well, I'm going to the soldiers to deal with some matters. I'll take you to find Tang Leyuan first."

As the march was approaching, Song Yaoxu had to deal with more things than before, and it was not convenient to leave it to Tang Leyuan, the toolman, so Qi Zizhen also got used to visiting Tang Leyuan's camp in the past two days.

Without saying anything, he took Song Yaoxu's hand and walked out of the tent with him.

But just a few steps after they walked out, they saw Wei Lingshen rushing over.

"Your Highness!" When Wei Lingshen saw the two of them, he didn't even care to pay attention to their handshake. He strode forward in a panic and took out a crumpled letter. "This is a new letter from the national teacher. , something may have happened to the Chaotang book!"

Wei Lingshen had told them before that they would set up some imperceptible signals when sending letters, such as crumpled envelopes, which meant that something bad happened, and the more crumpled the envelope, the more urgent the matter was.

——The letter in Wei Lingshen's hand was already wrinkled and spread unevenly.

Song Yaoxu quickly took the envelope and started to open it almost as soon as he touched the envelope.

Qi Zizhen also moved closer immediately, looking at a note he pulled out from the envelope.

The note is not big, and the handwriting on it is so scribbled that it seems to be written in one stroke——

"The emperor is critically ill, Qi Yuan's coup d'état, return quickly!"

The author has something to say: Cough, the battlefield dungeon is coming to an end, the next dungeon will be back to Chaotang, and most of the foreshadowing of the plot will be officially revealed in the Chaotang dungeon~

His Highness ascended the throne, and Zizhen's succession will soon ww
