Peng Yuyan was furious. With a knife in one hand and a gun in the other, he rushed towards the street opposite.
Since General Xue's wife was chasing after him, Guan Xiaoxi didn't get involved. He had to deal with the matters on the parade ground quickly.
Be careful not to accidentally discharge the gun and cause trouble, otherwise all your hard work will be in vain.
…
It is said that Guan Xiaoxi set off a firework at Qipan Pass. Qipan Pass was originally very high, and the firework flew very high as well. Xi Hua's troops, who were half a day's journey away from Qipan Pass, were marching quickly in the night, and they naturally saw the brilliant firework in the night sky.
Xi Hua's heart tightened. The western border troops did not send such a signal. This signal clearly originated from Qipan Pass. Could something have happened at Qipan Pass?
If Qipanguan is lost...
Xi Hua gasped. She didn't dare think about the consequences, but instead had the messenger pass on the order: "Full speed ahead, and make sure to reach Qipan Pass by the hour of dawn!"
Torches like long snakes were winding around the Jinniu Ancient Road. The team was very long and everyone was struggling to move forward. No one noticed that there was a man standing on a treetop beside the ancient road. He was watching the team quietly, and after a few breaths, he rose and fell and disappeared into the night.
He is Su Jue. The Third Divine Sword Brigade led by Eighth Junior Brother has been chasing the enemy but hasn’t found any yet!
So he rushed to the front and realized that the enemy had actually run back!
Why would they run back?
Su Jue couldn't figure it out. He remembered the fireworks he had just seen. Could it be that someone had sneaked down to Qipanguan?
This news must be passed back quickly. If someone really sneaks down Qipan Pass, the enemy army will arrive at the pass tomorrow morning. There must be not many people sneaking down, so it will be difficult to defend the pass. They need reinforcements.
The Third Divine Sword Brigade is right behind this enemy force and will catch up in three hours at most.
What Su Jue didn't know was that Fu Xiaoguan and his four companions had already passed Baima Station, and they were only half a day's walk away from the Divine Sword Brigade.
At this moment, Susu had already crossed the Qipan Pass and was following Xue Dingshan's main force towards Jianmen.
After the battle of Chunfengdu, Fei An's troops were also rushing towards Jianmen. According to the time, he would arrive at Jianmen at least one day earlier than Xue Dingshan.
The main force of the southern border army led by Yu Chunqiu finally received news from the scouts. They advanced to Qiliping but saw no enemy troops!
Naturally, he became more and more confused. He had learned so many military strategies and read so many military books, but at this moment he completely didn't understand Xue Dingshan's intentions and felt that the guy had suddenly become very sophisticated.
He turned to look at Zong Shiji and asked, "Boy, what is Xue Dingshan up to?"
Zong Shiji had already finished answering the policy paper left for him by Fu Xiaoguan. Because he was the person Fu Xiaoguan liked, Yu Chunqiu let him stay by his side.
Zong Shiji bowed and replied, "From what I can imagine, there might be a major problem behind the rebels, causing their vanguard to withdraw to provide support. As a result, our army and the rebels were marching in the same direction, and thus we were unable to meet."
Yu Chunqiu frowned and pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly. This view was consistent with the current situation. Could it be that old Fei An had done something big in Jiannan and cut off Xue Dingshan's food supply?
He quickly issued an order: "Scouts continue to advance, the entire army breaks camp, take the dry food sent by the people of Liangzhou, leave 30,000 people to follow the red-coated cannons, and the rest of the people, advance quickly!"
Three groups of people were walking on the Jinniu Ancient Road late at night, and gradually they split into four groups.
Xi Hua's troops at the front were the most nervous, while Su Mo's troops at the back were running wildly in excitement - God is watching over us, and they are finally going to fight the enemy!
Yu Chunqiu led the main force of the southern border army of more than 100,000 people in pursuit, attempting to reach Qipan Pass as soon as possible to relieve Fei An's pressure.
The last one is naturally the artillery team of the southern border army. This broken mountain road is extremely difficult to travel on, and they definitely cannot move fast while pushing the red cannon. At this speed, if they reach Qipan Pass, they may lose Qipan Pass and get no credit for this battle.
How to do this?
Carry it away!
Then, the red cannons weighing more than a thousand pounds were lifted up by these artillerymen. With the sound of calls, they actually trotted along the winding mountain road carrying hundreds of red cannons!
…
…
The long pavilion at Qipan Pass.
There is no fog tonight, the stars are shining, and the light is hazy.
There were no lights on in the pavilion, and no one was making tea, but there were two people sitting together.
They are Yu Wenshu and Chen Zuojun!
Chen Zuojun's face was as pale as paper, with beads of cold sweat running down his forehead.
She held her abdomen tightly with her hands, the blood had dyed her hands red, and was still flowing unstoppably.
As luck would have it, the shot Guan Xiaoxi fired into the darkness hit her abdomen.
She rescued Yu Wenshu, but knew that she was about to die.
"I feel... a little cold."
Yu Wenshu hugged her tightly, but slowly closed his eyes, "I told you to leave, why did you come back?"
Chen Zuojun leaned his head on Yu Wenshu's shoulder, and suddenly smiled.
"Do you still remember when I was your guard? It was March 12, the third year of the Xuan calendar. That night... there were also such beautiful stars, but the moon was a little rounder and brighter than tonight.
Then I became pregnant and gave birth to Yixi. Perhaps because I became a mother, from that time on, I no longer had any thoughts of restoring the Chen Dynasty.
My idea is... that our family of three can live a happy and peaceful life.
I really don't want you to fight for the throne, but I know that's what you've been pursuing all your life. You're my man, and no matter how much I hate it, I have to support you."
Chen Zuojun suddenly started coughing. She covered her mouth. As her abdomen began to ache, more blood flowed out of the wound. She coughed more than ten times. She silently put down her hands. Her hands were wet and she knew that what she coughed out was blood.
"Don't say anything more. I'll carry you."
"I'm going to die. You can't escape with me. Just listen to what I have to say."
Chen Zuojun's face grew paler. She gasped twice, "You must live. You are Yixi's father. Orphans are very pitiful. Take Yixi with you and go back... Don't covet the gold mine in Minshan. Haven't you always wanted to know the huge wealth hidden by the Chen Dynasty?"
Yu Wenshu was shocked. More than two hundred and thirty years ago, the Chen Dynasty was destroyed. When the founding emperor of the Yu Dynasty led his army to capture Jinling City and occupy the imperial city, he found that the treasury was empty.
All the wealth accumulated by the Chen Dynasty over five hundred years disappeared!
Afterwards, successive emperors of the Yu Dynasty searched for the whereabouts of this wealth, but no one ever found it. One hundred and fifty years later, the Yu Dynasty finally gave up, and this wealth of the Chen Dynasty was gradually forgotten by people.
Now it only remains in unofficial history——
It is said that on the eve of the fall of the Chen Dynasty, the last emperor of the Chen Dynasty melted a huge amount of gold and silver into ingots and hid them in various places, and their whereabouts are unknown.
"Where?"
