Chapter 303 Leaving Beijing



When the two arrived at Luanfeng Mountain, Cheng Ruoxue and Shen He were already ready to go. The 150,000-strong army had all moved out of camp, waiting for the order to rush to the battlefield.

"A Luo." Cheng Ruoxue came forward. She only knew that something happened to the Night King at Tianque Pass when Shen He came to visit her. "A Luo, don't worry. We still have thirty carts of food and fodder in our camp. We can go with the army for now."

"I will go with you to Qingzhou. Xie Tianzhang, the prefect of Qingzhou, was originally a general under my father. I will go with you to ask for food."

Lu Yanluo raised her arms and hugged Cheng Ruoxue. Her heart, which had been tense for two days, finally couldn't bear it anymore. Her eyes were red: "Sister Cheng..."

Cheng Ruoxue gently stroked Lu Yanluo's back and comforted her, "It will be fine. The prince is brave and good at fighting, and has unparalleled wisdom and strategies. Nothing will happen to him. He will definitely be waiting for you at Tianque Pass."

Then he whispered in her ear, "A-Luo, the prince is not here, you are the backbone of the Cheng family army, you must not panic, until the last moment, we can't lose our composure."

Lu Yanluo nodded repeatedly and secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Cheng Ruoxue was right. She believed that Chu Xuan would be fine. She must take people to find him immediately!

"Shen He, Sister Cheng, Chu Chen and I will go ahead. We will go straight to Qingzhou with a small group of people. You take the Cheng family army and these thirty carts of food and supplies to Tianque Pass to support the prince. I have asked Xiao Ran to take the money to Qianzhou Prefecture to buy food. Remember to meet up with Xiao Ran when you pass by Qianzhou."

To ensure that everything was safe, after meeting Shen He, Lu Yanluo sent Xiao Ran to Qianzhou to buy grain with the housekeeper and the secret guards in the mansion.

Qianzhou is the only way to Tianque Pass, and there is abundant food and grass there, which can definitely buy enough food for more than a month for an army of 500,000. After these food and grass are eaten up, the food and grass from Qingzhou and Tongzhou will surely arrive.

"A'Luo has thought it through carefully. Let's go ahead and meet at Tianque Pass." Cheng Ruoxue jumped onto the horse with an agile posture, which really stunned Chu Chen who was standing beside her.

Lu Yanluo and Cheng Ruoxue looked at each other, mounted their horses, walked in front of the soldiers and stood still, looking at the determination to face death in their eyes.

"Set off!"

At this moment, Lu Yanluo's mind emerged with Chu Xuan's passionate and morale-boosting words under the city wall that day. It was so heroic and shocking.

Chu Xuan, wait for me at Tianque Pass, I will be with you soon.

Lu Yanluo took the lead and galloped away, followed closely by Cheng Ruoxue in a red dress, and Chu Chen rode beside them. The three of them traveled day and night and arrived at Qingzhou seven days later.

Qingzhou prefect Xie Tianzhang was once a military general and had a keen sense of war. So when Lu Yanluo and his companions had not yet entered the city, they discovered that the city walls of Qingzhou had been reinforced. There were soldiers stationed every three steps and a sentry every five steps, and the guards were very strict.

"Hmph! This Xie Tianzhang, the old sly guy, said that he had not received any news about the war going on at Tianque Pass. Then why did he guard so tightly! It's as if he was afraid that the enemy would be at the gates of the city." Chu Chen curled his lips with great disdain.

Lu Yanluo glanced sideways at the guards around her and snorted coldly, "Let's go directly to the Qingzhou government office and meet this deaf and blind Qingzhou prefect. I want to see if he really doesn't know or is just pretending to be confused."

The three men marched hurriedly, their faces all turned pale, and they were all filled with rage. At first glance, they looked like three killing gods, heading towards the government office aggressively.

Along the way, the people around were confused and retreated one after another.

The gate of Qingzhou government office was closed and heavily guarded. Lu Yanluo and the other two were stopped as soon as they arrived at the door.

"Who are you?" The guard was very rude and drew his sword and pointed it directly at Lu Yanluo.

“How dare you!” Cheng Ruoxue yelled angrily, raised her leg and kicked the guard to the ground, saying angrily: “Who are you? You dare to use swords against me, I think you are tired of living! Go tell Xie Tianzhang that Cheng Ruoxue from the Cheng family is here and wants to see Master Xie, see if he will see her or not!”

The remaining guards were stunned by Cheng Ruoxue's sudden kick. No one dared to step forward. They looked at each other and finally chose to run in to report to Xie Tianzhang.

After all, the three people who came were too imposing, and it was obvious at first glance that they were not people they could afford to offend.

The guard rushed to the main hall and said breathlessly, "Sir, something bad has happened!"

Xie Tianzhang was a little unhappy, and before the guard could finish speaking, he accused him: "Why are you panicking? It's bad, it's bad, your master is fine!"

Xie Tianzhang is a military general with a bad temper. Some things that happened in recent days have made him upset, and his temper is even worse at this moment.

The guard thought he was unlucky, took a few deep breaths, and spoke again: "Sir, there are three men outside the door, they are aggressive, one of them claims to be Cheng Ruoxue from the Cheng family, and asked to see you, sir. The brothers tried to stop them, and were injured by Cheng Ruoxue."

"What! Who are you talking about? Who's here? Cheng Ruoxue?" Xie Tianzhang was particularly sensitive to people with the last name Cheng. When he heard it was Cheng Ruoxue, he jumped up and muttered nervously, "Which Cheng? Cheng Ruoxue, this name sounds so familiar, Cheng... Cheng Ruoxue! The Marshal's biological daughter!"

Xie Tianzhang suddenly panicked. He had heard of this name. No, to be exact, he remembered this name. When he was still the right-wing general in the Cheng family army, Marshal Cheng once brought his daughter to the military camp. But at that time, Cheng Ruoxue was still a little girl. Later, the Cheng family army quickly declined, and he left the Cheng family army and gradually forgot about this little girl.

"Quick! Hurry and invite the person in." Xie Tianzhang ordered the guard to release the person, and then said, "Wait, I will go there myself. The Marshal's daughter has always had a bond with me. I will give the Marshal face and go to greet her in person."

Xie Tianzhang straightened his clothes and walked out with his head held high. When he was almost at the gate, he saw the three aggressive men that the guard had mentioned.

The laughter arrived before the people arrived. Xie Tianzhang laughed a few times and said as he walked: "Niece Ruoxue, come and show Uncle Xie what you look like now!"

Cheng Ruoxue's face was full of black lines. This Xie Tianzhang was a master at smoothing things over in the Cheng family army. He was known as a veteran. He was used to doing things that hurt others and benefited himself. People couldn't like him. At that time, when her father was choosing a master for her, the first person he said was Xie Tianzhang was not suitable.

Many years have passed, but Marshal Cheng's words are still fresh in my mind. I was not wrong about him. He is really a veteran!

"Thank you, sir." Cheng Ruoxue bowed her hands in greeting, then looked up at Xie Tianzhang and said calmly, "Thank you, sir, for leaving the Cheng family army and having such a prosperous life in recent years. I am flattered that you still remember me."

Xie Tianzhang smiled unceremoniously and did not refute.
