Chapter 337 Wan Xingmo tells Wan Quan the truth
Wan Xingmo was supported by Wan Quan and walked in front of each soldier, patting their shoulders silently.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, I will definitely bring everyone back to Da Qi."
After Wan Xingmo finished speaking, the scene fell into silence. Everyone was silent, and some began to cry silently. This time, a thousand people came out, but before they could even reach the enemy's rear, they were almost wiped out. The remaining people did not have the ability to fight again. Some were injured or disabled. Even Wan Xingmo and Wan Quan were both seriously injured. This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to everyone.
Wan Quan felt very uncomfortable seeing that everyone was in low spirits.
At this time, Anan and Alie stood at the door of the snow house, holding their weapons, watching the fun.
Anan suddenly said, "Aren't you here to survey the terrain? You're surveying the terrain and you're behind the enemy lines. Don't you know that?"
Wan Xingmo immediately raised his head and looked at Anan, his eyes slightly turned, and he asked weakly: "May I ask this big brother, how do you know that we are behind the Beiliang people now?"
"We just came from there a few days ago, so of course we know about it, but they seem to be planning to retreat. I see they are already packing up their things."
Anan's words made Wanquan freeze in place. If Anan's words were true, then wouldn't they have been guarding the enemy's rear, but had waited for so long without taking any action, and instead lost their own soldiers?
"Impossible. Even if we are lost, according to the original distance, it is impossible for us to reach the rear of the Beiliang people so quickly. Did you see it wrong?"
Wan Xingmo felt that this was not common sense.
"I can't be wrong. I was the one who explored the way that day. I also sneaked into their camp. But what's the point of telling you all this? You can't run away now, and you can't fight either. You are just waiting to die. You should heal your wounds quickly and return the same way you came."
Wan Xingmo lowered his head and thought for a moment, then continued to ask, "Then how far is the Beiliang camp you saw from here?"
"It's probably only a day's journey."
"Then we should really hurry back to Da Qi. Thank you for telling me, big brother."
"I am doing this because you once saved my wife. This is my way of repaying you. From now on, we don't owe each other anything."
After saying this, Anan turned and went into the igloo.
Wan Xingmo and Wan Quan looked at each other without saying anything. After comforting the soldiers for a while, Wan Xingmo was exhausted and was helped back by Wan Quan.
Anan entered the snow house and immediately reported to Tong Rui: "Madam, we have told them the news we found out. I don't understand why you did this."
Tong Rui was sitting next to the charcoal fire, hugging a heater in one hand and holding a book in the other, with a thick mink blanket under her feet.
"Because I want to end this war quickly. We are running low on supplies, and we must go to the nearest Daqi to rest within half a month, otherwise our fate will be the same as theirs. We have the same family motto, we cannot profit from national disasters, so I hope the country can be peaceful and there will be no more wars, and our caravan will be safe when traveling abroad."
Tong Rui and her group have been trapped here for some time, in a dilemma and she has no choice. But now is an opportunity. She saved her savior, and the other party is a general of Da Qi. It is impossible for a general to appear in the territory of Beiliang people without any purpose, so she guessed that they wanted to launch a sneak attack, but failed, and she lost her troops first.
Tong Rui decided to give them a push, so during the rest time in the camp, she secretly sent Anan to scout the terrain. In fact, they did not pass through the Beiliang camp at all, otherwise they would have been discovered and captured long ago.
The people of Beiliang are rough and a bit barbaric. Tong Rui doesn't like doing business with them. They also like to go back on their words, which is what Tong Rui hates very much.
She is now in urgent need of ending this war, and by the way, she wants to enter Da Qi under the name of escorting Wan Xingmo. In this way, she can not only do Wan Xingmo a favor, but also achieve her own goal.
"But the boy is so badly injured. Can he fulfill your expectations, madam?"
"So I need you and Ali to help him. I didn't want to get involved in this war before, but now the situation has changed. We need to save our lives first. Ali said that the Beiliang people have begun to expand their search range. If we don't do something, this place will be found soon. We must complete their sneak attack mission before they arrive here and create conditions for us to enter Da Qi. Don't give up on them unless it is absolutely necessary. We still need them to enter Da Qi."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Let Granny Hu take good care of him these few days. I think the young general is recovering pretty quickly. Maybe he'll be able to walk again in a few days."
Anan took the order and went out, only to find that there were not many people outside, as everyone was hiding from the cold in their own snow houses.
The charcoal they brought was not enough to sustain them for half a month. The other supplies could still barely sustain them, but without fire, it would be a matter of life and death in this cold north.
Wan Xingmo and Wan Quan returned to the snow house. Wan Xingmo was exhausted and fell on the blanket with the help of Wan Quan.
There was no one else in the room at this time, only two people.
"Wanquan, I remember you told me a few days ago that the lady had inquired about Xiao Fubao's situation. You didn't tell the truth. I also didn't tell you one thing. Xiao Fubao's real identity is the Princess Fuyun of Yue State. I also met that woman. She is 80% similar to Xiao Fubao. I have also had people keep an eye on the movements of Yue State this year, and I have also found out some information about Xiao Fubao."
Wan Xingmo’s words shocked Wan Quan. Although he knew that Xiao Fubao was adopted, he did not expect that Xiao Fubao’s real identity was a princess?
"Brother Wan, what on earth is going on?"
"Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly. I'll start with the main points. As far as I know, little Fubao's birth mother is Concubine Yan of Yue. Concubine Yan is not the daughter of a court official, but the eldest daughter of Tong Hongzhi, the richest man in Yue. Her name is Tong Yan. She entered the palace at the age of fourteen and later gave birth to a daughter, little Fubao. The Yue State's national teacher calculated that little Fubao was the reincarnation of a lucky star, so the Yue State's emperor took the newborn little Fubao away and raised her alone in a luxurious palace."
"Concubine Yan only saw the child once from beginning to end, and she became sick with worry. Later, when little Fubao disappeared, Concubine Yan lost her appetite. It is said that she does not have much time left. Her sister Tong Rui has had a strong talent for business since she was a child, so Master Tong did not marry Tong Rui off, but found a live-in son-in-law for her. Tong Rui has been doing business outside for many years, and her business has become the largest in the history of the Tong family."
"She has been helping her sister find her niece's whereabouts in the past two years. I guess when she gave the jade token to her sister that day, she didn't know that Xiao Fubao was her niece. She just thought they were compatible, so she gave it to her sister. She didn't expect that this was a blood relationship, and it also laid the foundation for today."
Wan Quan was unable to accept Wan Xingmo’s words for a moment, and he remained silent for a long time.
