"General, didn't you say there are reinforcements?

Where are our reinforcements?"

On the plains of Qing Dynasty, thousands of exhausted soldiers took their last breath and asked Fan Yu.

Half a day ago, they received a handwritten letter from Feng Wuyou, asking them to lure the Donglin Army deeper into the Qing Plain, but try to delay the Donglin Army's arrival at the end of the Qing Plain.

He also said that as long as they reached the small woods at the end of Qingping Plain, reinforcements would appear.

They had been fighting hard for several days and were already exhausted physically and mentally. For this little hope, they had managed to hold on until now. However, the end of Qingping Plain was right in front of them, and no reinforcements had been seen yet.

????Were they abandoned?

Despair, anger.

All kinds of negative emotions, like infectious diseases, spread throughout the entire army in an instant.

Fan Yu was also anxious.

He had worked with Feng Wuyou and saw with his own eyes what a beautiful battle Feng Wuyou fought at Qingyang Pass.

Because he trusted Feng Wuyou, he obeyed the orders in her letter without hesitation.

But now, where are the reinforcements they were expecting?

"Miss Qianyue!"

Fan Yu turned his head and looked at someone in the team.

His letter was not received through a carrier pigeon, but was delivered personally by the maid named Qian Yue beside Feng Wuyou.

Qianyue looked indifferent, looked at the sky, and then took out another letter from her arms.

"The empress said that in the evening, you can read the second letter to General Fan."

Fan Yu's expression immediately changed slightly.

Is there a second letter?

When Qianyue sent the letter, she didn't mention a word.

Moreover, you can only watch it in the evening, so what’s the point?

She also escaped with them. Didn't she see that the Donglin Army was chasing them more and more closely, and now they were almost two or three miles behind them?

With a cold face, he grabbed the envelope, but after reading it... "Nonsense!"

He threw the letter to the ground suddenly and blushed.

"General, I respect the Queen. Does the Queen want us to die?"

Fan Yu controlled his temper very well along the way. Even if the troops below were in chaos, he never got angry.

But at this time, he was so angry.

The deputy general next to him picked up the letter and glanced at it, his expression darkened.

"Miss Qianyue, is this really the Queen's intention?"

Qian Yue nodded with a cold face.

She personally received this letter from Feng Wuyou, so there was no mistake.

The lieutenant general's expression became even uglier: "Miss Qianyue, even if we lose the battle, you still have to treat us as human beings.

It's only March now, and the stream is very cold, but your Majesty actually asked us to cross the stream. Does she want us to die?"

Yanyun is not as cold as Anling, and the temperature is already cold. At this time, the apricot flowers in Anling have bloomed, but the ice has just broken in Yanyun.

These people had been running all the way, and their bodies were extremely exhausted. If they entered the water again, before the Donglin people came to kill them, they themselves would not know how many people would freeze to death.

"I'm not asking you to cross the stream."

Qianyue said: "I want you to completely hide in the stream, don't show your body, don't move."

The deputy general's face was almost blue with anger.

This was even more extreme than walking across a stream. Walking around would bring some warmth, but they were actually asked to escape into the water under such circumstances.

This is simply murder.

"Miss Qianyue, we know that we are guilty of losing the battle. Even if the Queen wants to punish us, there is no need to use this method."

Fan Yu's face turned pale. He pulled out his sword with a choked sound and said, "Your Majesty, you don't want me to live. I will go back and fight to the death with the Donglin Army!"

When you say something, you have to turn your horse's head.

He is the Xiao Jiajun, so he naturally has the Xiao Jiajun's arrogance.

It would be extremely shameful for Qingyang Pass to be thrown away from his hands.

Now, he would rather die in battle than suffer such humiliation again.

"stop!"

Qianyue turned around, jumped up from the horse, and stopped in front of Fan Yu's horse.

"My Majesty has ordered you to wait for refuge in the water. Do not disobey."

Qianyue said coldly.

"What if I say no!"

Fan Yu sneered.

Qianyue glanced at Fan Yu and suddenly showed a look of contempt.

She said softly: "Since I am here, I will naturally go into the water to hide with you. If I really want to die, I will die with you."

But... the queen has always cared for us servants the most, and I don’t think she would ask me to die for no reason."

Fan Yu was suddenly startled.

He suddenly remembered Feng Wuyou's attitude towards his subordinates when he was at Qingyang Pass.

Qian Yue was right, Feng Wuyou valued his own people very much.

The reason why she was taken away by Changsun Yunwei in the first place was because she knew that something happened to her Jinyu Guards, so she would rather risk herself and go out to find them.

And later I heard that Feng Wuyou used herself to get all the Jinyu Guards to escape unscathed.

Would such a person really let so many of them die?

Fan Yu stared at Qian Yue.

Qianyue also looked at Fan Yu, but said nothing.

Even if you haven't seen it, you should have heard it.

Since Feng Wuyou got together with Xiao Jinglan, is there anything he has done that is detrimental to the Xiao family army?

And when has anyone ever heard of her abandoning her comrades to escape on her own or seeking credit?

Back then, she was able to survive a desperate situation like that at Xianzi Pass. What's more, she still had so many soldiers at her disposal in Yanyun territory.

Fortunately, Fan Yu had fought with Feng Wuyou, so he was really confused.

Fan Yu obviously also reacted. He gritted his teeth and said loudly: "I believe in the Queen!"

After staying for a moment, the Donglin Army behind them caught up a lot more, and they could even see the flag from a distance.

Fan Yu waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Follow me!"

The group, which consisted of about 4,000 people, immediately turned south and headed straight for a stream that ran through the Qing Plain.

The stream is neither wide nor deep.

Even during the flood season in summer, it only reaches a person's chest. Now that the spring weather has just thawed, it can't reach the waist at most.

The banks on both sides are slightly higher than the river. If you stand inside, most of them can be covered. If you lower your head again, and with the cover of vegetation, you can hardly see any human figures from a distance.

Fan Yu didn't know what Feng Wuyou meant, but since she told her so, he just did it.

They did not run sideways towards the stream, but were still heading towards the small woods at the end of Qingping Plain. They just consciously moved towards the stream as they moved forward.

Behind him, tens of thousands of Donglin troops relied on their large numbers to chase after him.

The one-armed, one-eyed Zhuo Tianning was in the middle of the army, and a messenger quickly ran towards him.

"General, Yan Yun's army is heading in the direction of Luoxi."

Luoxi?

Zhuo Tianning raised his eyes. In the dim light of the evening, he could see Luoxi running through the Qingping Plain like a silver belt. The scenery was very beautiful.

He twitched the corner of his mouth.

Are these people desperate?

He actually ran towards Luoxi.

However, it’s okay to run over there, it’s just what he wants.

"Chase!"
