Chapter 314 Even if the blood flows into a river, no matter what
And everything that happened after that was exactly as Qin Rushuang had guessed. The two women had actually discovered the archer who was ambushing in secret.
Seeing that Qian Ertong was willing to fight for his own life, the woman cursed secretly and dragged the biggest bargaining chip in her hand aside. The sword passed through the three of them without hurting anyone.
Another woman glanced hatefully at the border guards below and said loudly: "Damn it! You cunning Daqi people!"
After saying that, he took Qian Ertong hostage and jumped off the city wall.
Qin Rushuang wanted to pursue her again, but Xie Xun held her tightly in his arms.
"Qian Ertong is the biggest bargaining chip in their hands. I know you are anxious, but calm down! You can't die in vain!"
Qian Ertong's figure disappeared from sight, and Qin Rushuang finally withdrew her gaze.
She took a deep breath and said, "I know. Someone is coming! They are setting up camp outside the city."
It was already dark by this time.
Fortunately, the soldiers brought some simple tents with them to prepare for unexpected events during the march, so they could rest and recuperate on the spot.
After a while, the soldiers behind also brought the unconscious Nie Lei outside the city.
This time when he led his troops to move, Mu Duo did not follow him.
He was afraid that Qingzhi and his children would be in danger at the original Shubian military camp, so he insisted on staying there to take care of Qingzhi and his children.
Fortunately, Xie Xun's injury was not healed yet, and he was always surrounded by military doctors. When he saw Nie Lei being carried over, he hurried over for treatment.
After checking, Xie Xun quickly asked: "Is he in serious trouble?"
The military doctor's frown relaxed and he replied: "Your Majesty, General Nie Lei just had some skin trauma, and the continuous travel was a bit too much for his body, so he collapsed all of a sudden. I will prescribe some medicine and he will wake up tonight or tomorrow."
"
Xie Xun nodded.
Now the only one who knows what happened in the city is Nie Lei.
Qin Rushuang also looked solemn.
After Nie Lei fainted, she asked the soldiers who escorted Nie Lei out if they knew what was going on in the city.
But the reason those soldiers were able to escape was because when the grain and grass entered the city, some soldiers went in first, and they stayed outside the city to guard the grain and grass.
When Nie Lei rushed out, they didn't know what happened inside. They only knew that Nie Lei asked them to go find the prince and princess together.
Qin Rushuang's heart sank after hearing this.
So, of all the people who escaped, only Nie Lei was the one.
After settling down, the night was already dark, but Qin Rushuang was not sleepy at all.
The very important people around her were still in the city, and her life or death was uncertain. She really couldn't rest assured.
Xie Xun kept looking at the lights in Qin Rushuang's tent, and saw that the lights on her side had not been extinguished, so she knew that Qin Rushuang was worried about this matter.
Although he didn't know whether Qin Rushuang would be more irritable after seeing him, but she came out this time without anyone close to her. Xie Xun thought about it and went to find Qin Rushuang.
"Go to rest early. You will only make everyone more anxious."
As expected, Qin Rushuang frowned and seemed a little impatient when she saw that the person coming was Xie Xun.
"If the people captured today were these lieutenants under you, or Ying Yi Ying Er who is close to you, would the prince still say such things?"
Xie Xun secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.
Seeing Qin Rushuang's irritable look, he actually hoped that he could replace Qian Ertong.
I wonder if Qin Rushuang would look at him more if his life was threatened like Qian Ertong...
Putting away his thoughts, Xie Xun advised Qin Rushuang: "You should rest early to recuperate your energy. When Nie Lei wakes up tomorrow, we will ask him carefully about the situation in the city and it will not be too late to make plans."
"Qian Ertong is an important bargaining chip in their hands. Don't worry, your life will not be in danger in a short time."
Hearing Xie Xun mention the situation in the city, Qin Rushuang's eyes flashed with fierceness.
"How many Dayan people can there be in the city? The worst we can do is attack them by force."
Xie Xun sighed and told her another thing.
"Did you remember that when the envoy of Dayan handed over the three cities to my father, he said that there were people of Dayan in the city. If my father showed mercy, he would give them a place to live. If my father did not want to, he would kill or cut them into pieces.
As you wish."
Xie Xun's voice paused and then continued, "On that day, as a sign of generosity, my father promised King Yan that he would treat the people of Dayan well in the city."
Qin Rushuang turned around suddenly, "Then we are going to let our people die in vain?!"
Xie Xun quickly explained, "Of course that's not what I meant, what I meant was..."
"You came to the border, led the border guards to fight several victorious battles, and achieved great success in capturing Da Wanlie alive. I am afraid that some people in the court have already regarded you as a thorn in their side. They are afraid that the General's Palace... or that Prince Huai's Palace will become more powerful.
You are a woman, so you are already arousing criticism. If this matter is not handled properly this time, I am afraid someone will make a fuss about it and come to my father to read your book..."
Qin Rushuang waved her hand and said: "If you want to take ginseng, it's up to them! I didn't come to Bianguan for these illusory reputations. Rights and reputation are not as important as the lives of these people around me, do you understand?"
Qin Rushuang looked directly at Xie Xun: "I must rescue Qian Ertong, and let him come out intact! Even if it means bleeding into a river, I will not hesitate! So I advise the prince not to stop me!"
Xie Xun looked at Qin Rushuang's firm and fierce eyes and knew that Qin Rushuang had already made up his mind, so he could only compromise.
"I promise that I will definitely help you rescue Qian Ertong. Can you take a rest early? I feel really bad..."
"Why does Your Majesty care about me? Why don't you pay more attention to Nie Lei while you have the time? He hasn't woken up yet."
Qin Rushuang was a little annoyed.
She was already worried about Qian Ertong, but now Xie Xun was hanging around in front of him, which made her even more angry, so she had no choice but to issue an eviction order.
"Your Majesty, please come back."
Xie Xun saw that Qin Rushuang really didn't want to talk to him, so he could only come out of the tent dejectedly.
Coincidentally, as soon as he came out of Qin Rushuang's tent, a military doctor hurriedly found him.
"Your Majesty! General Nie Lei is awake!"
When Xie Xun heard this, his expression became stern. He was about to turn around and go to the tent to tell Qin Rushuang, but he didn't expect that Qin Rushuang in the tent had already heard the military doctor's voice.
Qin Rushuang walked very fast, taking three steps at a time and walking to the side of the military doctor. She looked anxious and asked, "Is the person awake? Where is he?"
The military doctor quickly pointed to the camp tent aside: "It's right inside. The prince and princess are coming with me!"
Qin Rushuang followed the military doctor to the camp he pointed to. Sure enough, Nie Lei on the simple bed had woken up and his expression was clear.
Seeing Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun, the expression on Nie Leilian's face relaxed visibly.
"Your Majesty! Princess! Fortunately, you are all right. Fortunately, we caught up!"
Qin Rushuang asked about Nie Lei's injury in a few words. Seeing that his injury was not serious, he immediately asked about the situation in the city.
"What situation did you and Qian Ertong encounter with the munitions team? How could it be so tragic that everyone was killed inside?"
