Wei Qing wasn't sure either.
However, Wei Qing didn't think too much about it. The only thing he wanted was to ensure the safety of his wife!
He is not as kind as his wife. Anyway, his wife's life is more important than anyone else's. If anyone dares to touch his wife, he will fight to the death!
Wei Qing kept his ears perked up to listen to the noise outside.
However, the inn was far away from the city gate and nothing could be heard.
The two of them stayed awake until dawn.
The Huns did not attack, which was good news for them!
"Wife, let's go and take a look." Wei Qing said.
Tang Li nodded, and the two of them left the inn and walked towards the city gate.
The whole journey was bustling as usual, as if nothing had happened last night.
The two men came to the city gate, which was tightly closed. There were many people on the gate, and the defense was obviously strengthened.
"Why are you here?" The person who spoke had a bad tone.
Tang Li looked up and saw that the person who was speaking had a tired face and a scruffy beard. It was Cao Ji.
Tang Li had a very deep impression of Cao Ji, because whenever this man saw her, he always looked like he was going to hit her.
"I can go wherever I want in Qinzhou City!" Tang Li raised his chin and retorted bluntly.
Cao Ji glared at Tang Li and Wei Qing with disgust. In his eyes, the couple were just a pair of hooligans who did nothing all day and ran around everywhere.
Cao Ji really didn't want to pay attention to them, but he still said, "Don't run around, or else no one will collect your bodies if you die!"
"Thank you for your concern, General Cao."
"Who cares about you!" After saying that, he went up to the city wall.
Tang Li looked at his back and said, "This little General Cao is really interesting."
"Like a little lion with its fur standing on end."
Tangli deeply agrees.
He has a ferocious look, but he's not annoying at all.
Tang Li and Wei Qing walked around the city gate and then went back.
"The situation looks okay, we just have to wait." Tang Li said.
Wei Qing nodded.
Tang Li suddenly remembered something: "Is the Xiongnu prince still next door?"
Wei Qing almost forgot about this.
He tied up the Xiongnu prince, threw him next door, and asked Zhang Qian to watch over him.
The two of them came to the next door and pushed it open and went in.
There was only one person in the room, tied up, and it was Zhang Qian!
Zhang Qian's head drooped and he fainted.
It was obvious that the boy knocked Zhang Qian unconscious and ran away.
Wei Qing frowned: "The Xiongnu prince ran away."
Tangli said: "Just run away."
The young man was hiding here and there, so it seemed that he couldn't do anything that would harm Qinzhou City.
Wei Qing untied the rope on Zhang Qian and patted his face. Zhang Qian slowly woke up.
Zhang Qian quickly explained what had happened. The young man somehow untied the rope and knocked him unconscious with a knife.
Zhang Qian glanced at Wei Qing sheepishly: "Brother Wei, did I do something bad?"
"fine."
Wei Qing patted his shoulder and left the room with Tang Li.
The two waited in the room until evening, when a soldier rushed into the inn.
"Excuse me, is Miss Tang staying in this inn?" the soldier asked.
Shopkeeper Hua looked at the man's clothes and became wary. "Sir, has something happened?"
As he said this, he stuffed some silver and money into the soldier's pocket.
Generally speaking, it is not a good thing when officers and soldiers come to her house. If it is not good, she will find an excuse to send the officers away and then think of a solution.
The officer stuffed the money back into the shopkeeper Hua's pocket and said, "Our general is looking for someone, so please don't ask around."
"General Cao?" Tang Li heard the noise and hurried out to ask.
"Yes, General Cao! Are you Miss Tang? Come with me quickly." The soldier said hurriedly.
Tang Li and Wei Qing hurried downstairs and were about to go out in a hurry.
They are now eager to know what the situation is.
Shopkeeper Hua grabbed Tangli's sleeve.
Tang Li turned around and saw the worry in her eyes, and his heart warmed: "Sister Hua, it's okay, I'll be back soon."
Only then did Shopkeeper Hua let go of his hand.
Tang Li and Wei Qing followed the soldiers to the military camp and soon met Cao Shao.
Cao Shao was sitting in the tent, reeking of blood and wrapped in gauze. A military doctor was treating the wound on his face.
There were several knife scars on his handsome face, and the blood had not yet dried. From his appearance, one could tell what a brutal war he had experienced.
Tangli was delighted when he saw him.
You know, Cao Shao died twice in her dream, once by being shot to death by arrows, and once by being stabbed in the heart, but now, he is alive!
Great, her Uncle Cao is still alive!
Cao Shao was a little dissatisfied: "Tang girl, what's wrong with you? I'm injured like this, why are you still laughing?"
Tang Li quickly stopped smiling and asked with concern, "Uncle Cao, how did you get hurt like this? Does it hurt?"
Cao Shao knocked her head and said, "It's too late to care about her now."
"I can neither laugh nor cry. You are really hard to please." Tang Li muttered.
"There's nothing I can do about it. I'm your uncle, so you have to serve me." Cao Shaoyi said with an air of seniority.
"General, how is the battle going?" Tang Li stopped chatting with him and asked about what he cared about most.
"A resounding victory!" Cao Shao said, "The Xiongnu suffered a crushing defeat, and their commander was nearly captured alive. Unfortunately, he escaped."
Tangli only heard the first sentence.
A great victory!
They flapped their wings correctly!
Tang Li looked at Wei Qing, his eyes full of twinkling lights.
Wei Qing was happy seeing his wife happy, and he felt happy too.
The military doctor treated Cao Shao's wound and left.
After a while, Cao Ji came in and his face fell when he saw the couple.
"The general is injured and needs to rest. Why are you here? Who let you in? Get out!" Cao Ji said coldly.
"I asked them to come." Cao Shao said.
Cao Ji was stunned for a moment. What kind of magic potion did these two guys use to fool the general? The general had just returned from victory and they actually called these two guys over.
"Are you curious why I am so special to this girl?"
Cao Ji pursed his lips and didn't respond, his thoughts were all written on his face.
"They told me about Cao Hua." Cao Ji looked at Tang Li and Wei Qing in surprise.
They actually discovered this?
"On their way to Qinzhou City, they rescued a man and took a letter from him. It was the letter written by the second prince of the Xiongnu to his accomplice."
Tang Li and Wei Qing did not reveal everything, these are their explanations.
"This time, if we hadn't discovered Cao Hua..." Cao Shao paused, his voice a little bitter, "then we would have lost."
Cao Ji is not stupid.
Cao Hua's position in the army is second only to the general. The general has absolute trust in Cao Hua, and these people also have absolute faith in Cao Hua.
If such people suddenly turn against us, it would be fatal for them. If they don't take precautions in advance, the outcome is entirely predictable.
Apart from anything else, Cao Hua assassinated the general, and the group of dragons were leaderless, so they were bound to be defeated.
He didn't dare to imagine what happened next.
He looked at Tang Li and Wei Qing, and this time, he had a completely new respect for them.
Cao Ji thought about his offense and said simply, "I'm sorry."
Tangli smiled slightly: "It's okay."
She knew that Cao Ji had no bad intentions and was just a straightforward person.
Tang Li didn't want to delay Cao Shao's rest, so he asked some questions he wanted to know, and then left with Wei Qing.
Cao Shao stood in front of the tent and watched their backs go away.
An idea was circling in Cao Shao's mind. He always felt that they seemed to have come here specifically for this matter.
But when I think about it carefully, I feel that it is impossible. Who can predict the future?
But no matter what, they saved themselves.
Originally, he wanted to protect this girl by himself, but in the end, this girl became like his lucky star.
When the two of them met, it seemed like he had taken advantage of this girl.
