Chapter 279 A short distance

"The Qi King's Army actually has cannons!"

Chen Yuexi snatched the branches and looked at the big guys coming out of the Qi King's military camp, stunned.

Although it is far away, you can guess that this thing is a cannon by looking at the high bronze cannon barrel. Each cannon is pulled by dozens of sergeants with ropes in front, and a group of sergeants pushing behind, which looks extremely heavy.

"Miss Mother, these cannons started forging five years ago," Xia Lan looked nervously, "I saw it up close when I served Xiao Beiheng. There were iron claws in front and behind the cannon, like a lying tiger. It was specially used for siege, and was called a tiger squatting cannon."

"Specially... for siege?" Mrs. Li didn't tremble at first, but she shook again when she heard Xia Lan's explanation, "Can my nephew defend so many cannons?"

"How powerful is this cannon?" Chen Yuexi also became a little nervous.

Xia Lan said that these cannons are specially used for siege, and she didn't know if the city wall at Langya Pass could withstand it.

As they were talking, the cannons kept slowly moving out of the open camp gate. Eight gates had already been pushed out, and there was no sign of ending.

"I don't know. The shells are probably such a large solid iron ball," Xia Lan compared them with her hands in a circular shape. "When King Qi attacked the capital, he transported these cannons from Anzhou. Unexpectedly, he pulled the cannons from the capital again this time."

Chen Yuexi looked at her hand and felt that the shell was as big as a volleyball.

The troops agreed and turned the horses to open the way in front.

"Qi Shengjue." She was both happy and shocked, but she did not scream.

She felt that she had put on makeup carefully enough, why did the other party recognize her at once?

She had a tense face and thought about Xiao Zhuo's advice before leaving.

With Qi Shengjue leading the way in front, the carriage entered the camp and it was indeed unobstructed and no one checked it.

Before he could take action, the King of Qi left the camp to go to Xiao Beiheng. Once he arrived at Xiao Beiheng's place, Chen Yuexi would probably be recognized by Xiao Beiheng, not to mention Xia Lan, who was originally Xiao Beiheng's maid.

Mrs. Li had already gotten into the car, opened the window and greeted Chen Yuexi, "Yuexi, come up quickly."

Qi Shengjue felt relieved and bowed to Chen Yuexi with his fists: "Please ask the princess to get on the car, and I will lead the way in front of you. Go straight into the camp to meet the King of Qi."

Qi Shengjue nodded and returned to the carriage and said through the window: "The King of Qi is treating his injuries, please wait for Mrs. Pingyang."

Mrs. Li didn't believe it, so she got up and looked over. Then she sat back opposite Shen Yuexi and smiled, "Thank God, maybe the doctor hiss won't let him see the wind."

"See," Chen Yuexi turned around and ran to the carriage and told the coachman, "The plan has changed, King Qi left the camp early. Hurry up and take us here."

Chen Yuexi was about to get on the car, but when he heard the general asking, he was shocked and held the car door and turned around to look at the general.

The man once knelt on the ground and walked with his knees, grabbed Xiao Zhuo's clothes and begged, "What's wrong with you, King Zhao? You have led us to annihilate the 200,000 troops in Jingzhou and never lost. What's wrong with you?"

As if seeing her worries, Qi Shengjue whispered: "Princess, don't worry, the princess will be kind to King Zhao, and it will never be detrimental to the princess. However, King Qi is kind and good, so I will not be too weak to wait for the princess. I hope the princess will tell her the truth, what's the point?"

"Miss Mother, the King of Qi has come out," Xia Lan pointed at the gate of the King of Qi's army camp, "The one sitting in Suyu is."

Xia Lan pushed the window into a crack, looked sideways, and looked happy, and turned around and said, "Miss Mother, King Qi is back in the camp."

She was pondering, and shouts rang from afar outside the car.

When he arrived at the camp of King Xiao Ming of Qi, a guard with a halberd came forward to stop him and said to Qi Shengjue: "General Xinwu, the doctor is treating the King of Qi in the tent. Please wait for the general and the visitor."

"Good intention." Chen Yuexi replied in a brief manner.

"If the car comes, we will stop. If we get closer, we will shoot arrows."

With the lessons learned from the past, Chen Yuexi dared not laugh anymore, for fear that something would happen if she laughed.

Mrs. Li patted the bag around her waist and said, "Don't worry if you tie it tightly."

The general waved his hand: "The person who came is Mrs. Pingyang. Don't approach you rude men at will, so as not to disturb your wife. I will go and see, and you will lead the way in front."

The general rode his horse to the carriage and whispered to Chen Yuexi: "Why did Princess Zhao meet King Qi?"

Chen Yuexi and Xia Lan got into the carriage, turned out of the hidden place, and headed towards the gate of the King of Qi's military camp.

The camp where the King of Qi is located is not far from Xiao Beiheng's camp. When he passes through Xiaogang Village, he goes north to Xiao Beiheng's camp. Now that the King of Qi returns to the military camp, Mrs. Li breathes a sigh of relief and jokes.

Hundreds of Qi King cavalry rushed across from the opposite side. The general led by the army saw a maid coming out of the car and whispered: "The person who came here told me that he was coming."

Chen Yuexi can understand this. Xiao Zhuo's feelings for Emperor Yongde who raised him for twenty years are far deeper than the King of Qi who had never raised him in one day. It is his greatest kindness to let go of this grudge and let the King of Qi and his son live together. As for the father and son who recognize each other and hug each other and cry, it is impossible.

Now everyone must get things done before the King of Qi arrives at Xiao Beiheng's military camp.

"There is no neighing, no neighing," Mrs. Li let go of her hand, stood up in panic and ran towards the carriage, "Go to see the King of Qi quickly."

The two of them looked at each other, and a person flashed through her mind like lightning.

"Is the King of Qi still at the camp gate?" Mrs. Li was restless. After only a few steps, she kept asking Chen Yuexi, "Let Xia Lan see it."

While thinking about it, Mrs. Li grabbed her arm and said, "Wan'er is still in the city, so you can't let them fire. We have to go and see King Qi!"

The general looked at Chen Yuexi in surprise and said to the military soldiers behind him: "The person who came is Mrs. Pingyang, put down the bow and arrow."

Chen Yuexi said calmly: "Pei Shaoya, the wife of the Marquis of Pingyang, learned that the King of Qi was injured, so she came to visit her. Please report to the general."

What was so happy was that I actually met Xiao Zhuo’s old family here, and what was so shocked was that what if Qi Shengjue was loyal to the King of Qi and his son and revealed her true identity?

However, judging from Qi Shengjue's recognition of her and did not speak loudly, he should not be malicious.

The original plan was to take advantage of Xiao Beiheng's besieging the city, Mrs. Li took a car to visit and handed over the white silk to the King of Qi. Mrs. Li couldn't do it alone, so Chen Yuexi had to follow her.

Chen Yuexi shook her head at Mrs. Li and Xia Lan, signaling them not to panic and shout, then she turned around and opened the car door and got out.

A soldier next to him said, "General Qi, do you want to search for a car?"

She got into the car and talked to Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li also became happy and said, "It's so good, hurry up and get the love done. Don't shoot the city."

If the iron ball is so big, how heavy would it be? No matter how thick the city wall is, it is just a stone. How can it withstand such heavy iron balls? If so many cannons are shooting together, it will probably collapse in just a few strokes of the city wall.

Everyone in the car was happy to see King Qi immediately. Chen Yuexi said to Mrs. Li: "Auntie, can Bai Ling be kept?"

"Although the King of Qi is my biological father, he forced my adoptive father to death in the capital. I gave him white silk just to make him and Xiao Beiheng retreat, and there was no intention of recognizing him."

Chen Yuexi said to Mrs. Li: "Auntie, I know everything, but we can't just go there like this."

Chen Yuexi was secretly happy. If Qi Shengjue had led the way, he would see King Qi directly, which would save a lot of trouble.

The three of them were delighted, and there was a sound of horse hooves coming from behind the carriage, with noisy sounds and armor sounds, as if many military horses were coming.

Qi Shengjue's voice sounded outside the carriage: "I will see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Um."

Xiao Beiheng snorted coldly from his nostrils as a response.
