Different from ordinary tents, this tent is divided into two halves.
The outside room is decorated like a living room, with a table, a sand table, and a map.
The inner room separated by the curtain is where Qin Rushuang rests.
After Xie Xun left, Qingzhi opened the curtain and walked out.
She was actually inside the whole time just now.
After the baby fell asleep, she stayed by his side, so she also listened to the entire conversation between Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun.
She glanced at the gold silk armor on the table, and in the end her concern for Qin Rushuang outweighed her disgust for Xie Xun.
"Miss, why don't you just go in your clothes? I'm worried every time you go out."
However, Qin Rushuang still shook her head firmly and said, "Since I have decided to draw a clear line with him, these things are no longer necessary. Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion. You and the child are still here waiting for me, and there is no way anything will happen to me.
"
Qingzhi sighed and finally didn't force it.
"Okay, Miss, just have an idea in your mind."
However, she still took out a small bag that she had prepared long ago.
Inside were some commonly used wound medicines given to her by Mu Duo, as well as a small dagger.
"Miss, you'd better take this package with you. It should be placed close to your body and won't take up any space. If it comes in handy, you won't be in a hurry."
Qin Rushuang nodded and put on the heavy armor again under Qingzhi's service.
midnight.
Qin Rushuang confirmed for the last time that everything was ready, and brought along two lieutenants, Mu Duo and Nie Lei You Shao, as well as a large number of troops.
This time he also brought money and two passes.
Seeing that Qian Ertong was a little nervous, Qin Rushuang comforted him: "This is your first time to go on an expedition with the army. How is it? Are you scared?"
Qian Ertong shook his head, "I will go wherever the lady goes. I am not afraid. Just charge forward. I will take care of the supplies behind you."
Qin Rushuang smiled, "Don't worry, there won't be any conflict with the enemy this time. I'm just taking you there to get used to it in advance."
Qian Ertong scratched his head, he was just helping a lady manage business, what would he be used to?
After appeasing Qian Ertong, Qin Rushuang set off with the soldiers.
Because the destination was very clear, which was to go to the Red Stone Forest, I walked very quickly along the way.
It didn't take long to arrive outside the red stone forest.
At night at the border, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse. Under the moonlight, the heavy fog outside the red stone forest looks even more strange.
Qin Rushuang asked Mu Duo to distribute a large amount of refreshing medicine that had been prepared to the soldiers.
Thanks to the fact that these medicines are not hard to find, they are relatively easy to prepare.
In addition, the border guards' execution ability has always been very strong. Finally, before the troops were dispatched at midnight, they were able to ensure that every two people had one medicine.
The large army stopped in front of the red stone forest. Just as Qin Rushuang said, it was very quiet outside the red stone forest and there were no enemy troops.
This is what Qin Rushuang had guessed early on.
Yu Zaizhong has been forced to negotiate terms with her, so naturally he doesn't have many people at his disposal.
If it was true, as she suspected, that Yu Zaizhong had trapped the five thousand elite soldiers near the red stone forest, he would definitely not be able to spare any manpower to guard them.
Since he had the ability to hide more than 5,000 people in a short period of time, it goes without saying that the soldiers would not be able to escape from this hiding place.
"Someone, take out the rope."
After Qin Rushuang's instructions, Qian Ertong and some soldiers began to take out a long rope.
Under Qin Rushuang's arrangement, the soldiers who were going to explore the red stone forest were tied with ropes around their waists, while the other end of the rope was left outside.
Everyone is tied to the same rope, which ensures that when anyone is in danger, others can find it, and people outside can also find it.
The top end of the rope was tied around her waist by Qin Rushuang herself.
Qin Rushuang took the lead and led the soldiers into the red stone forest.
This time, with the ropes around their waists for traction and the refreshing medicine developed by Muduo, the soldiers were in good condition.
However, Qin Rushuang led this group of soldiers to search the red stone forest for a long time, but found no trace of the five thousand elite soldiers.
Qin Rushuang had no choice but to take people back to the outside of the red stone forest.
You Shao became a little anxious, "General, how could this happen? Could it be that the five thousand troops have been moved?"
Qin Rushuang still firmly believed in her guess, shook her head and said, "It's impossible. It must be nearby."
She turned her attention to Qian Ertong, "Take out the tools you prepared, start digging from outside the red stone forest, and dig underneath the red stone forest."
Fortunately, just as Qin Rushuang expected, Yu Zaizhongteng was unable to take action and was guarding the area, so they made a lot of noise and did not attract the enemy.
This excavation would have been difficult if there were few people, but Qin Rushuang had already brought many soldiers, so the action was not too slow.
Within a short while, a large hole had been dug in the ground, allowing three or four people to enter and exit freely.
"Just go in from here. It will be faster if you take turns to dig. If you don't have the strength, don't show off and replace yourself immediately."
"yes!"
The soldiers got the order and started digging.
Qin Rushuang, Nie Lei and You Shao were waiting anxiously outside.
Among these people, You Shao was the most anxious.
Firstly, it was because he was most responsible for this accident, and secondly, it was also because all the five thousand elite soldiers were his brothers.
There is a pair of brothers in particular whom he brought over from his hometown.
These two people were friends from You Shao's former hometown. They were both tough-minded heroes. They followed him to the border, were willing to endure hardships, and especially listened to his words.
If he can't rescue people today, how will he explain it to his fellow villagers when he returns to his hometown?
After waiting for a while, You Shao couldn't sit still and said to Qin Rushuang, "General! Why don't I go in and have a look too."
Before Qin Rushuang had time to persuade him, a soldier's exclamation suddenly came from inside.
"Dig it!"
When You Shao heard this, he immediately jumped in from the dug hole.
After a while, he crawled out covered in mud with a smile on his face: "The general is so awesome! So awesome! He really dug it! Those people are in a tunnel under the red stone forest!"
What made him even more happy was that these people were unscathed and all alive. They were just a little weak after not taking in rice and water for a long time.
Qin Rushuang also breathed a sigh of relief.
After the trapped soldiers were dug out, Qin Rushuang immediately called a soldier over for questioning.
"How did you fall into the red stone forest?"
The soldier was still a little weak, so he drank a few sips of the water brought by his companion, and then slowly said, "Back to the general, after we entered, we were fascinated by something unknown not long after, and everything that followed seemed to be forgotten.
It was unclear. When they woke up, they found that they were locked underground and could not find a way out."
You Shao immediately explained: "They are also very good. They take turns digging from the inside out. But they don't have shovels and they dig slowly with swords."
"General, you are a lucky star! The place you pointed to when digging in happened to be on the same road as the place where they were digging out. When they first dug through, both sides were shocked!"
Qin Rushuang smiled, and the worries in her heart finally relaxed, "As long as everything is fine, life is better than anything else."
"Then should we lead the troops back to camp now?"
"Go back. Go back now. Have a good rest after you go back. Now there is no leverage in Yu Zaizhong's hands. It won't be long before you can take revenge for today."
Hearing this, the soldiers looked excited.
Many of them thought that Qin Rushuang really agreed to Yu Zaizhong's request this afternoon to cease the war for two months.
But now everyone has been rescued!
The general is right, they will have their revenge soon!
The soldiers' eyes were filled with raging flames of war. They were not afraid of losing, but it was too embarrassing to be captured in such a humiliating way!
