Before dawn the next day, the group secretly left Lixi City.
Gong Yichen didn't see that familiar figure the whole morning. He wanted to ask something, but seeing that there were people coming and going around his sister, he had to suppress his doubts for the time being.
In the evening, he learned from Gongyi Qingyun that Song Sanniang had volunteered to go buy food with Huo Buyi.
Gong Yichen felt a little disappointed. He felt that they had a good relationship, but why did she leave the barracks to carry out the mission without telling him?
Gongyi Qingjun was surprised: "Why are you asking this? I always thought you two had an ordinary relationship."
During this period, she openly and covertly created opportunities for them to be alone, but their relationship remained lukewarm. She was about to give up, but now it seems that there is still hope!
Gongyi Qingjun coughed lightly. Although she really wanted to tease her brother, she thought about how thin-skinned he was. What if he got angry out of embarrassment?
She patted Gong Yichen's shoulder with a hint of regret, then returned to the tent. She still had things to do.
…
After Gong Yichen spent a day in a daze, he cheered up and tried hard to catch up with Gong Yi Qingjun to discuss the future plans together.
But the next day, a piece of news stunned him, or everyone who heard the news.
News from the imperial city finally came back, but it was not good news.
The Queen ordered the Sixth Princess to return to the capital immediately. As for the issue of food and grass, since they had already defeated the White Tiger Kingdom, the issue of food and grass was no longer important.
Furthermore, the counties in the north of Qinglong Nation are suffering from famine. The Queen hopes that they will consider the people more. They don't have any extra food to transport to Lixi City to supply the army...
Gong Yichen and the generals and soldiers who had been following Gong Yi Qingjun all this time to repel the White Tiger Kingdom and defend the Azure Dragon Kingdom looked at Gong Yi Qingjun above with a worried look on their faces.
Gongyi Qingjun sat on the chair above with her head down. She covered her eyes with her hands. For a moment, the tent was so quiet that you could hear the sound of a pin drop.
“Hahahaha, hahaha…”
Gongyi Qingjun didn't know what her mood was right now. She just wanted to laugh, and she didn't want to suppress it.
Gong Yichen looked at his elder sister worriedly.
Gongyi Qingjun raised her head and saw the worry in his eyes at a glance. She didn't say anything, but her eyes swept over the people below one by one. During this time, the corners of her mouth were always raised with a smile.
"Everyone, the Queen Mother ordered me to return to the Imperial City. What do you think I should do?"
The words were questions, but unfortunately the tone didn't contain a hint of doubt.
"I am willing to serve the princess at my utmost." Everyone below knelt in front of Gongyi Qingjun in unison.
Now that the decision had been made, they all started to get busy. One person was responsible for stabilizing the messenger from the imperial city and writing back to the imperial city.
The Sixth Princess will set off soon and arrive at the imperial city in about half a month.
Gongyi Qingjun looked at the messenger who was riding away on horseback with cold eyes.
Before this, her "messengers" had already left Lixi City. By the time her good mother saw the news, her family members had probably also retreated.
Most of the people in Lixi City are female soldiers conscripted from border towns, and only a few of them live around the imperial city. Now it is convenient for her.
After Gongyi Qingjun decided to raise an army to "clear the court of corrupt officials", Song Sanniang was the first to receive the news.
Although there are slight differences from the original plot, the overall context remains unchanged, and Song Sanniang is not too worried.
The heroine now has military power, a legitimate reason, and her help. She can't think of any reason to fail. Song Sanniang is confident that she has put some gold on her face.
Soon she became serious. Since the heroine was planning to do something big, she would lend her a hand.
She took Huo Buyi and his group to a barren mountain halfway. As the road became more and more remote, the female soldiers following behind them began to whisper, fearing that they would be sold.
"Captain Huo, where are we going now? Why don't we take the main road? It's easier to walk on it."
This path doesn't look very good.
Soon, Song Sanniang looked at the mountain in front of her, her eyes lit up, and she shouted back.
"Here we are, on the mountain."
Then they followed Song Sanniang up the mountain. Looking at the three small mounds in front of them, they were unusually silent.
Especially in front of the largest and newest mound at the edge, there is a monument with the words "Tomb of Song Xiaocao" written on it. If they remembered correctly, Miss Song's original name seemed to be Song Xiaocao.
All of a sudden I felt a cool breeze blowing from behind.
They were so scared that they didn't know where Song Sanniang took out some incense sticks from and where she was offering sacrifices to them one by one.
Finally, Huo Buyi mustered up the courage to step forward and ask Song Sanniang. If you listened carefully, you could hear that her voice was trembling slightly.
"Song, Miss Song, what are you doing bringing us here?"
When Song Sanniang heard Huo Buyi ask this, she was a little confused and said, "I'm burning incense."
Seeing that they were looking around with panic in their eyes, I probably had the same train of thought as them.
She seemed to have frightened these ladies.
"This is the tomb of my father and sister. The other one was dug for myself when I couldn't survive anymore. Please don't misunderstand me."
After hearing her words, everyone felt relieved, but the next second they felt that it was too early to be relieved, because Lady Song threw a few shovels to them.
Are you going to dig a grave?!?
After Song Sanniang distributed the several shovels she brought from the car, she continued to walk up for a distance with the shovel in her hand, and finally stopped at an open space.
This place had obviously been cleared, the weeds were shorter than the surrounding ones and were sparsely distributed.
"Come and help me dig. What are you guys just standing there for?"
"Oh, here we come." "We'll come to help you right away." As long as it's not gravedigging.
As for their surprise, they later discovered a large bag of gold and silver jewelry underground, and how they exchanged this bag for food is a matter for later.
After much haste, Song Sanniang finally returned to Lixi City just as Gongyi Qingjun was about to lead his troops back to the imperial city.
Behind her were carts of food.
Gongyi Qingjun saw her come back, but she didn't notice that after she saw Song Sanniang come back, the last trace of uncertainty in her heart disappeared.
Looking at the rising sun in the east, she immediately gave orders.
"Raise your troops and march!"
