The prince of heaven only wants salted fish

Li Heng was instantly carried forward by his horse, and Ji Cheng's voice was broken in the wind.

At this moment, he was completely confused - what firecrackers, no, what kind of early New Year's greetings? Isn't it summer now?

But Li Heng soon realized that this was not the point.

The real point was that he was now carried by the frightened horse and rushed towards a group of soldiers, and the group of soldiers seemed to have not yet seen clearly that it was him, and were shouting "Where are the archers?" "Kill that crazy horse!"!

He was still on the horse! ! !

Over there, Ji Cheng lightly dodged the charging horse, put his hand on his brow, looked in the direction of Li Heng for a while, and watched the chaos in Beixia Palace for a while, and then killed the soldiers who fell around him with a knife, and then turned and left.

Being caught by Li Heng didn't cause him any trouble, but watching for a while still delayed him, so that when Ji Cheng left the palace, a large number of people had already surrounded him outside - among them were passers-by, ministers who came in a panic, and the army that had survived the bombing of the city defense station and was barely able to form a large scale.

It took some time to escape from the siege of these people. When Ji Cheng got out of the city and met up with He Xiao and others, it was nearly half an hour after their agreed time.

Ling Langyuan was greatly relieved when he saw Ji Cheng appear: "Your Majesty, if you don't show up again, I will go back to find someone."

After saying that, he asked nervously: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Ji Cheng smiled: "No, I just met the emperor's uncle when I got out of the palace and said hello to him."

Ling Langyuan: "?"

What the hell is saying hello?

Ji Cheng walked past him and patted He Xiao on the shoulder: "The firecrackers are good, they light up easily and make a loud noise, the emperor's uncle is quite satisfied."

He Xiao smiled: "It's good that he is satisfied, it's our honor to serve your majesty."

Ling Langyuan: "???"

So what are they talking about?

Simply brushing over the previous experience, Ji Cheng asked again: "Are all the people and things gathered?"

Ling Langyuan immediately responded: "All the people who were expected to gather at this meeting point have arrived."

Another guard also replied: "The luggage on the carriage has also been checked, and it is all intact."

Ji Cheng nodded: "In this case, everyone, get ready to set off."

He looked around at the people present, and his eyes were rarely solemn: "This time, the other party of the Beixia Palace was not prepared at all, so we succeeded by chance. Now Tuoba Qi is in danger, but the Beixia people are murderous in nature. Knowing that it was Daning who did it, they will definitely chase him with all their strength next."

"According to the plan, our group of generals and soldiers will flee in several directions. The distance from the Beixia capital to the border is thousands of miles away. No one can predict what variables will happen in the middle," Ji Cheng clasped his fists to everyone, "I hope that when I meet Daning again, none of you will be left behind."

So everyone present also had a serious face and clasped their fists to Ji Cheng in return.

Lian He Xiao stopped arguing with Liu Kehan: "Your Majesty, please take me with you!"

He resolutely said: "You are not good at handicrafts. Without me, the weapons cannot be repaired if they are broken!"

Ji Cheng: "?"

He said kindly: "Li Heng knows that I came to Beixia, and the intensity of his pursuit of me along the way must be the greatest. For safety reasons, it is better for you to follow the others."

Otherwise, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but beat this rude guy first.

Ji Cheng said again: "I hope to see you again."

Everyone replied: "I hope to see your majesty again."

——

In the fourth year of Jianhua in Daning, Beixia destroyed Dongyi. In the same year, various countries declared war on Beixia. However, Beixia was strong and powerful, and with the lobbying of counselors, the armies of various countries could not advance for a while.

During the stalemate, Emperor Li Ji of Daning led a dozen of his personal guards to sneak into the capital of Beixia, and used gunpowder to blow up nearly half of the Beixia Palace, burning the food and a large number of weapons stored in the city defense, and also causing damage to the residences of several important officials of Beixia.

Emperor Tuoba Qi of Beixia was first trapped in the burning palace, and then was seriously injured by the collapsed beams. He died a month later. His two young sons also died in the fire that almost filled the entire palace, and thus the successor to the throne of Beixia was missing.

The ministers of Beixia attacked each other, thinking about where to pull out an heir, while worrying about the front-line war, and also trying to find a way to hunt down Emperor Daning who blew up the palace and ran away. Some people even blamed Li Heng and asked why his residence was not blown up. For a time, Beixia was in chaos, and it can be said that it was quite trapped inside and outside.

After Ji Cheng and his party separated outside the capital of Beixia, they split into several groups, attacked and fled for thousands of miles, and traveled for nearly two months. They came out of the Changjin Mountains near the border between the two countries, and finally passed through the defense line and returned to Daning.

And casualties were almost inevitable.

In order to distract the enemy's attention, the troops who infiltrated Beixia were divided into nearly ten teams, two of which were completely wiped out, and the remaining teams also had some casualties - He Xiao and Liu Kehan ​​came back alive, but the former was shot in the back by an arrow, and there was no good treatment on the way to escape. When he entered Daning, he was unconscious. After the doctor rescued him, he was in a coma for more than half a month before waking up.

Ling Lang's original team had good luck. He had been in Northern Xia for many years and was most familiar with the situation here. The pursuits he encountered were not strong, so he only encountered wild beasts in the Changjin Mountains and killed two people. , the rest is almost intact.

But it was Jicheng's group - as the emperor of Daning, Northern Xia pursued him with the greatest intensity. His group only brought two of the most skilled guards, and the most dangerous enemy plot in the pursuit was, One of the guards rushed forward to block Jicheng, and died on the spot with a knife through his heart.

The team that was chasing after them were completely killed. Since then, Jicheng has completely escaped Bei Xia's sight and has never been caught up again.

However, after entering Daning, he did not return to the capital as previously planned. Instead, he took his remaining bodyguard and headed directly to Lincheng - which is the junction of Daning and Beixia. It is also the base camp where frontline supplies and soldiers rest and station.

This time it was General Chen who was in charge of the war with Bei Xia. After receiving the news, he rushed over quickly. When he saw Jicheng covered in blood, his heart skipped a beat: "Your Majesty?!"

Jicheng looked impatient and said, "It's not my blood, so why bother?"

General Chen breathed a sigh of relief and asked hurriedly: "Why did you come to the city?"

Jicheng: "Why, I can't come?"

General Chen: "No, no, no, I just feel that it is so radiant!"

And they are just worried that there is something wrong with Prime Minister Jiang's heart.

Jicheng chuckled: "How is the situation in Beixia now?"

General Chen had to sort out this news every day. He immediately reported: "Your Majesty, the news that you blew up the Northern Xia Palace spread out a month ago. After that, the Northern Xia army was a little confused - after all, they also I don’t know how we got the gunpowder, I’m afraid it might happen to them suddenly when we’re fighting here.”

"But that thing does have miraculous effects, and there are also artillery pieces that you ordered Master Wenren to send before." General Chen's eyes lit up. "Although there is not much inventory shipped to Lancheng, due to proper use, we have already obtained it now." Off to the three cities of Beixia."

"It is no longer convenient to use Lincheng as a military base now," he said, "I am planning to move forward."

Jicheng nodded slightly, and General Chen continued: "In addition, news came out from Northern Xia a few days ago, saying that the Northern Xia emperor had been seriously injured and died, and his two sons did not survive. Now Northern Xia has There is complete civil strife, and several important ministers and the surviving royal family of Northern Xia are all busy fighting for power, and they may not care about the war on the border for a while. "

"It's just according to what the news said," General Chen said hesitantly, "The Northern Xia Imperial Master... is Li Heng. He somehow managed to get the Northern Xia Jade Seal. Now he has gathered a group of forces in his hands, and he seems to be ready to seize power. meaning."

Jicheng sneered: "Uncle Huang is indeed too anxious."

General Chen was stunned when he heard this, and then heard Jicheng ask: "What about the other countries and the Dongyi Defense Line?"

His attention was drawn back, and General Chen replied: "Other countries should also know what happened in Northern Xia. There seems to be no change in the war, but I don't know if I have any thoughts privately."

"As for the news from the Dongyi Defense Line...the battle report was sent to the capital," General Chen scratched his head, "I only heard that the results of the battle were not bad. Our army is pressed against the Northern Xia border, so the distribution is over there. The amount of gunpowder that arrived is quite large..."

He roughly told everything he knew about the situation, and then asked: "So when will your Majesty plan to return to Beijing?"

Jicheng was now standing in his tent, reading the battle report from the front line. When he heard the words, he closed the paper with a snap: "There's no rush."

General Chen was confused: "Aren't you in a hurry?"

Jicheng glanced at him: "Autumn is about to come again. If we don't seize the time to fight the battle, how can we take back Pingcheng?"

"Transfer all the people from the capital over. There is no need to hide the things we made before. We can bring them all out at once. Now that Bei Xia is in civil strife and its momentum has been lost, we don't want to take this opportunity to let them put it away." How can I vomit out all the benefits I’ve swallowed and work hard in their territory for two months and lose one of my bodyguards?”

"Oh, by the way," Jicheng added calmly, "find someone to bring two buckets of bath water. My whole body is covered in blood and sticky. I feel so uncomfortable."

General Chen: "..."

The orders were sent out one after another, and he stood alone for a while before he thought clearly - Your Majesty meant that he wanted to conquer in person!

However, at this time, Jicheng had already gone to take a bath and rest. General Chen moved his feet, and felt that his advice or not might not have any impact - he was the emperor, and he had bombed the Northern Xia Palace and still retreated safely. With his record, he seemed to have no reason to persuade him from any angle. So General Chen shook his head, left the camp, and continued to train his soldiers.

The news of Jicheng's return spread quickly. In less than a month, Jiang Li led a group of ministers to the front line. When he saw Jicheng, he almost burst into tears: "Your Majesty, you are finally back! "

There were still deep dark circles on his face. It could be seen that Jiang Li didn't get much rest during the days when Jicheng left Daning. Maybe he was worried, maybe he was overwhelmed by the pile of state affairs left by Jicheng. Tired - of course there is a greater possibility that the old man didn't sleep last night to stay up.

Ji Cheng was wearing golden armor. He had been in this world for more than a year. His body had grown taller. His appearance as a teenager had already shown the maturity of a young man.

Before today, he had just led his army to capture another city in Beixia. Even General Chen, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, was inferior to him in military tactics.

However, he still had a smiling expression at this time: "It seems that the Prime Minister has been very tired recently?"

The tone was gentle, without any sharp aura - although for some reason Jiang Li always thought of this guy who had just chopped off the head of a Beixia general on the battlefield yesterday. The killing was so cruel that even the Beixia people, who were always known for their cruelty, were afraid.

So Prime Minister Jiang, who had a lot to say, shook his head and swore: "No hardship, no hardship, serving the people!"
