The general went out again at night

"Change it." Ji Qianyao took off his armor, and deliberately took off some gold, silver, pearls and emeralds that he carried with him, so that Su Jin could wear it on the death row prisoner.Taking off this dress, she has nothing to do with the past and the royal family. Ji Qianyao didn't even bat an eye, and all she remembered was the people around her.

Sensing the gaze, Xia Qingshu turned her head, and happened to meet Ji Qianyao's eyes, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Xia Qing's hand to undo the buttons suddenly stopped, and she leaned forward to help Ji Qianyao untie the knot on his back first.

"Take off this shirt, and you will only be mine in the future." Xia Qingshu said in a low voice in the inner room blocked by the curtain.

Taking off the clothes on his body, Ji Qianyao also went around Xia Qingshu's back to untie the difficult knot for her.Hearing this, she smiled slightly: "If you take off this shirt, you will only belong to me in the future."

There is no turning back, the two can only move forward.But this road is not lonely at all.

Xia Qingshu reached out and pinched Ji Qianyao's palm, and Ji Qianyao shook it back, with a soft smile on his lips.

When the two came out from the inner room, Suxi had already buried the gunpowder.The gunpowder she prepared was not very powerful, but after the explosion, it would cause a raging fire and burn the tent to nothing, which was what Ji Qianyao needed.The lead wire of gunpowder was stretched very long, and it was wound several times in the tent, and finally the end of the thread was held in the hands of Yi Nu Ba Li.

After cupping tea, Su Jin also put on the clothes of the two condemned prisoners.

"Let's go out." Xia Qingshu said, she and Ji Qianyao covered their faces with a black veil, put on a bowed look, and followed behind Su Jin.

"After half a stick of incense, I'll light the fire." Su Xi said.

The five people went out of the tent one by one, and Su Jin took Ji Qianyao and Xia Qingshu away.Suxi was holding a teapot in her hand, looking for a room to boil water and make tea.

Liu Yan, the general of the Yan army who was on duty outside the tent, said: "General Xia has an order. She and the eldest princess have important matters to discuss with the Tatar Khan. She ordered me not to disturb outside the tent, and to retreat further away. I will go Take a look at Pingzhang, and if there is something important, send someone to look for me."

Liu Yan deliberately amplified the sound so that the surrounding guards could hear it.

"Yes!" The general on duty gave the order, beckoning his subordinates to retreat to the periphery.

everything's ready.

After half a stick of incense, Suxi calmly carried a pot of tea and a few plates of snacks into the camp, lit the fuse and left.

A tiny spark revolved around the tent, and when it burned to the end, a loud noise erupted in the Tartar camp.A fire dragon leaped up quickly and devoured the camp in a blink of an eye.

"The camp is on fire, put out the fire!" Yan's army was in chaos, several generals hurriedly shouted: "General Xia and His Royal Highness the Princess are inside, go find water and put out the fire!"

Several guards wanted to rush in to save people, but they were blocked by the fire curtain. When there was a stalemate at the door, a second explosion occurred inside the tent.

"Get down, get down!"

The fire that soared into the sky illuminated the vast desert.

It should be such a joyful and joyful thing to win a battle, but I never expected that the grief would come so suddenly.

"Get water, get water!" a man shouted hoarsely.

"There is no water in the barracks! When we rushed to the kitchen, we found that this sneaky Tartar cook had drained all the water in the barracks."

In the vast desert, if there is no water storage, how can we find water?It's too late, it's over.

***

The good news of the great victory in the northern border spread to Nanjing city all the way, and Emperor Hongsu personally greeted the officials at the post station at Deshengmen.

The confidant's troubles left over from history ended in his own dynasty. Emperor Hongsu was more than just Longyan Joy, his eyes couldn't keep his eyes open from laughing.

"Come here, draw up a decree, I want to amnesty the world! Hahaha!" Before entering the Fengtian Palace, Emperor Hongsu's hearty laughter came in.The court ladies who were on duty in the palace listened to them, knelt down quickly, stood up and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"I also want to issue a decree to reward those soldiers who have worked hard and made great achievements, and increase their ranks and ranks!"

The whole Dayan was immersed in infinite joy.In less than an hour, Emperor Hongsu asked Si Lijian to draw up the imperial edict of amnesty and reward.

Emperor Hongsu took a rough look at it and was very satisfied.

At this moment, a person rushed from outside the hall, with tears on his face and disheveled hair: "Your Majesty! Something is wrong!"

"Unlucky! What are you doing?" Emperor Hongsu glanced at him, his good mood was ruined, and he scolded: "The victory in the Northern Territory is a great joy. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as the common people of the Li people Everyone is extremely happy, why are you alone with tears on your face?"

Deng Li knelt on the ground and kowtowed his head, tears streaming down his face, held up the memorial in his hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, there is a funeral report from the northern border. General Xia died for the country, and so did His Highness the Eldest Princess. .....is dead..."

"What did you say?" Emperor Hongsu couldn't believe it, thinking he had heard wrong, he opened his eyes and asked.

"Both General Xia and His Royal Highness Princess... are dead..." Deng Li repeated with sobs, his body fell on the ground and trembled violently.

"Impossible, I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" Emperor Hongsu swept the imperial decree on the table to the ground, and stumbled off the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body!" Si Li Jian Bingbi saw that Emperor Hong Su was unsteady in his steps, so he stretched out his hand to help him, but was swept away by him.

"I don't need to help you!" Emperor Hongsu fell on the main hall, knocked off the crown on his head, and his hair was messed up.

Deng Li knelt and sent the funeral newspaper forward, Emperor Hongsu snatched it, staring at the words on the newspaper with wide eyes.

"My condolences, Your Majesty!" Everyone in the Fengtian Palace cried, either sincerely or falsely, it was impossible to detect.But these wailing voices invisibly cast a stone in Emperor Hongsu's heart. The stone was not big, but it muddied the water in his heart.

"They died? They really died..." Emperor Hongsu tore the funeral newspaper into pieces and threw it out of the hall.Then he looked up to the sky and laughed, like a madman.

The great joy of the country and the great sorrow of the country are only half a day apart.

And all this has nothing to do with the two people who are at large.

The endless sea, undisturbed tranquility.

"Where are we going?" The sea breeze picked up Ji Qianyao's hair and wrapped it around Xia Qingshu's shoulders. She hugged Xia Qingshu's arms and watched the orange sunset fall below the sea level.

Suddenly getting rid of her identity, Xia Qingshu didn't make any plans, and was at a loss for a moment. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the sunset sky: "The sky is big and the earth is big, I will listen to you wherever you want to go."

This answer is tantamount to no answer.Ji Qianyao is not annoyed, she knows that she has no idea yet, and will not force her deliberately: "Then let's drift for a while, let nature take its course."

"it is good."

The sea breeze was getting stronger, and the two returned to the cabin.

This ship was prepared by Jiqian for traveling by sea.That day, after they left the Tartar army camp, they traveled east all the way, crossed Harawen Mountain, passed Mulijiwei, and then traveled by water to Jinghai Sea.

They sailed on the Whale Sea and have been adrift ever since.

As night fell, the anchor was lowered, and the ship stopped on the sea and stopped moving forward.Today's sea breeze is a bit strong, standing in the cabin, shaking a little.

"Where's Su Jin?" Xia Qingshu looked around, but there was no sign of Su Jin.Since coming out of the desert, Su Jin has been staying by their side.

"General Xia looking for me?" Su Jin, who was in the room, heard the voice, and a small head popped out from behind the edge of the door.

"How many times have I told you that now that the two of us have bid farewell to the past and have no identity, you don't have to call me General Xia anymore."

"Similarly, you don't have to call me 'Your Highness' or 'Master' anymore."

"Belongs to..." As soon as the word came out of her mouth, Su Jin changed her words in a hurry: "I can't change it all at once."

Xia Qingshu and Ji Qianyao laughed at the same time: "We have time now, just a few more days to get used to it."

"It's almost summer, and there's going to be strong winds on the Whale Sea, so I'm afraid we won't be able to stay for long. Have you guys figured out where to go?" Su Jin asked.

After going around and around, I still returned to this question that I hadn't made up my mind about.What should be faced is always inevitable.

Ji Qianyao and Xia Qingshu looked at each other: "Let's discuss it at night and make a decision as soon as possible."

"it is good."

As soon as night fell on the sea, the coldness broke out. Seeing that Ji Qianyao's clothes were thin, Xia Qingshu dragged her back to her room to add clothes.

"I want to go to Yunnan." Xia Qingshu said while fastening the buttons on Ji Qianyao's clothes.This idea has been in her head for a long time.If she had to go ashore now, the place she most wanted to go was Yunnan.

"Yunnan?" Ji Qianyao repeated in surprise, and as soon as the words fell, she thought of the reason why Xia Qingshu chose this place, "You want to check the tree coffin man?"

"Yes." Xia Qingshu admitted: "We are too passive now."

The belt around the waist of the outer shirt was tied, and Xia Qingshu's hand was placed on Ji Qianyao's waist without moving.She was staring at Ji Qianyao with her head on, and she wanted to know what the person in front of her was thinking.

"But it's too dangerous there." Ji Qianyao looked worried.

"I know the danger, that's why I want to discuss it with you." Xia Qingshu's expression and tone softened: "If you don't allow me, I won't go."

"It's not that it's not allowed." Ji Qianyao tilted his head and said softly as usual: "It's just that you have to tell me what you think, and I'll listen to see if it's thoughtful. If you know the danger , but let them go, there is no countermeasure, I naturally don't allow it. On the contrary, it's another matter."

Xia Qingshu wrapped her hands around Ji Qianyao's waist, and crossed her fingers around her.

Clearing his throat, Xia Qingshu said: "That's what I thought. We are 'dead people' at this time. The palace made the news of our death public and spread it all over the world. Those tree coffin men and corpse refiners must also think that I am dead. , they will relax their guard. This is a good opportunity for us to investigate in depth. If we don’t seize this opportunity, they will find out the clues in the future, and I’m afraid they will follow the end of the world.

After dealing with the Tartars and Emperor Hongsu, what they have to face is the mysterious Tree Coffin Man.This is their confidant.If you want to spend the rest of your life safely and smoothly, you must get rid of this serious problem.

Ji Qianyao thought for a moment, raised his eyes, and nodded, "Then we'll go to Yunnan." She agreed with Xia Qingshu.

Xia Qingshu's eyebrows relaxed, and the corners of his mouth curled up.When in this world, there is only one person you rely on, and this person trusts you and has a certain tacit understanding with you, this feeling is particularly good.

"When do you want to go?" Ji Qianyao asked warmly.

"As soon as possible. The longer the delay, the more likely those tree coffin men will find that we are not dead."

"Okay, then at dawn tomorrow, we will divert to Yunnan."
