When Jiang Yuzhu woke up, it was already noon.
Hongli and several other maids have already arrived at the camp.
Jiang Yuzhu sat up and felt a little sore in her waist, so she subconsciously rubbed her waist.
Hong Jin took a quick glance and understood what was going on, so she put the blame on Xie Zhao.
"Madam, you fainted after you became exhausted. It was the master who carried you back to the carriage, washed you, and wiped your body..."
Hong Jin said that she had been outside the tent and couldn't squeeze in at all.
Jiang Yuzhu didn't notice anything wrong, as the two of them had already been husband and wife.
In his dream, it seemed as if someone was pressing down on him. Xie Zhao only tried it briefly, but Jiang Yuzhu seemed to sense it.
During this period, Hong Jin secretly reminded Jiang Yuzhu several times, but she chose to ignore it.
Just after breakfast, Jiang Yuzhu said to Hongli, "Go to the military tent and tell them I want to see the princess."
When she was stitching up the wounded soldiers yesterday, she found that the weapons used by the barbarians were very vicious. Unless stitches were used, the wounds would take several times longer to heal.
The Great Qi was different from the modern times. A little cold could kill a person. If the wound became infected, the subsequent troubles would be very serious.
Just as Hongli lifted the curtain, a soldier arrived at the door and reported, "Thank you, Madam. The Major General would like you to go to the military tent."
Jiang Yuzhu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
When she arrived at the military tent, she keenly noticed the strange atmosphere.
Mo Qianyu was silent, and the usually calm Princess Yutan looked a little flustered.
Jiang Yuzhu's heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm and asked, "Is there any news about my second brother?"
Facing the edge of the knife, Princess Yutan remained calm. The title of the God of Death of Da Qi was not in vain.
Apart from Jiang Huaiqing, Jiang Yuzhu couldn't think of any other reason that could cause Princess Yutan to behave abnormally.
Xie Zhao took out a letter and handed it to Jiang Yuzhu.
The letter was sent by the barbarians and was specially translated into the Da Qi language.
The meaning is very simple. They have captured Jiang Huaiqing. If they want Jiang Huaiqing to survive, there is only one way, to exchange him for Princess Yutan!
Otherwise, facing someone who is of no use to him, the barbarian will shoot an arrow through the heart in front of the Qi army tonight!
"You and I both know what kind of person the barbarians are. Huaiqing came to the Northland for me, and now..."
Princess Yutan closed her eyes, she couldn't afford the gamble.
So, she will exchange with Jiang Huaiqing tonight as Manzi requested.
“No!”
Jiang Yuzhu and Mo Qianyu spoke in unison. They looked at each other and shook their heads, disagreeing with Princess Yutan's impulsiveness.
"Whether my second brother is captured or not, you can't have such thoughts!"
The barbarians have no integrity. Even if Princess Yutan is willing to change people, the barbarians will not let Jiang Huaiqing go. They are so shameless!
Jiang Yuzhu's forehead was covered with sweat. She gulped down a cup of tea and said, "I can't go!"
She believed that her second brother had the same idea as her.
Princess Yutan bit her lips until they bled, and thought to herself, it turns out that people cannot have weaknesses.
In the past, Princess Yu Tan was fearless even if she died on the battlefield, but now she is afraid!
My nails dug into the soft flesh of my palm, and even after the pain subsided, my mind was still unclear.
Mo Qianyu took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Princess, no matter what conditions the barbarians put forward, you and I must remain calm. If we are led by the nose, it will not only implicate you and me, but also hundreds of thousands of Da Qi soldiers!"
"You don't need to remind this princess!"
It's not like the barbarians haven't played this kind of trick before.
Two years ago, the barbarians captured the wife of General Fan, one of the main generals of the Great Qi, and used this as a threat to demand a replacement.
For the sake of the overall situation, General Fan refused to agree even though his heart was bleeding.
"Mo Qianyu, do you still remember that scene?"
In front of the Qi army, the barbarian stripped Mrs. Fan naked and molested her in front of the two armies.
Mrs. Fan couldn't stand the insult, and finally snatched the barbarian's dagger and stabbed it in the heart!
"Later, the Qi army won, but General Fan couldn't bear the pain and died for love!"
Princess Yutan said this just to remind Mo Qianyu that even if they remained indifferent, she would never live if Jiang Huaiqing made any mistake.
What does the family, the country, and the world have to do with her? Princess Yutan only wants Jiang Huaiqing.
Mo Qianyu stood up and asked, "Have you ever thought about those hundreds of thousands of soldiers?"
"I thought about it. Even if I am gone, there are still others."
Princess Yutan didn't care. She didn't have the mind to think about anything else right now.
The two men glared at each other, as if they were going to rebel against each other.
Jiang Yuzhu rubbed her forehead and had to interrupt, "You guys are doing exactly what the barbarian wants to see!"
Regardless of whether Jiang Huaiqing is caught or not, send a letter to deceive him first.
"There are undoubtedly spies from the barbarians in the Qi army. The barbarians don't need to do anything, regardless of whether it's true or false. A single letter can shake the morale of the Qi army. Isn't this a very cost-effective trick?"
Jiang Yuzhu repeatedly considered her choice of words, always feeling that there was something fishy about it.
"The barbarians captured my second brother. Why didn't they come and show off right away? Why did they have to wait until night to trade?"
It is dark at night and visibility is low in windy and snowy weather.
They found someone with a similar build to Jiang Huaiqing from a distance to conceal the truth, and Da Qi was unaware of it.
"They really caught my second brother, why didn't they cut a piece of cloth from his body?"
Nothing, just a threatening letter that threw our own side into disarray.
As a relative of Jiang Huaiqing, Jiang Yuzhu understands Princess Yutan's feelings very well, but does not agree with her approach.
Even if they agree to trade in the evening, they still have time to prepare.
"Report!"
As soon as Jiang Yuzhu finished speaking, a soldier came into the tent to report.
The spies we left behind in the barbarians did hear that someone was captured in Sishui City and imprisoned in the death row, but we couldn't find out who it was yet.
For this reason, Jiang Yuzhu was even more skeptical about Manzi's letter.
Reminded by Jiang Yuzhu, Princess Yutan finally woke up from her dream.
Since she got the news, she quickly fell into a huge abyss, her mind full of the tragic ending of Mrs. Fan and General Fan two years ago, and she unconsciously put herself in their shoes.
After calming down, Princess Yutan stood up and sincerely apologized to Mo Qianyu.
Mo Qianyu waved his hand and turned to Jiang Yuzhu and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Then everyone looked at Xie Zhao, waiting for him to make a move.
The old fox has come from the capital. When it comes to brainpower, how can the barbarian be a match for Xie Zhao?
"Be prepared for both scenarios."
Xie Zhao's expression remained unchanged. He thought that it was unlikely that the other party would capture Jiang Huaiqing, but he did not want to fight an unprepared battle and should make several plans.
"Second brother is different from Madam Fan."
Mrs. Fan is a weak woman who is easily manipulated and has little value.
It is normal for the barbarians to kill the hostages after realizing that they have lost their value, just to intimidate the Qi army.
In addition to being Princess Yutan's fiancé, Jiang Huaiqing is also the second son of the Jiang family. If the barbarians really take the trouble to capture him, they will definitely maximize their benefits.
After finally catching someone, venting your anger is just a momentary pleasure.
The barbarians are not stupid. Even if they can't exchange for Princess Yu Tan, exchanging her for food and cloth is also good.
"I know my second brother. I will test him tonight."
This is not only a matter for the Qi army, but also a major event for the Jiang family.
Since it concerned Jiang Huaiqing's safety, Jiang Yuzhu volunteered.
