When Qin Rushuang and her master rushed to the forest, the Imperial City Army had already surrounded the forest.
Some men dressed as ordinary people are being arranged together to count people.
Qin Rushuang saw this scene and guessed that Xie Xun's end might not go well.
She came in a hurry and walked very fast when she arrived in front of Xie Xun. Xie Xun hurriedly stepped forward to support her. He carefully inspected her body and saw that there were no injuries before he felt relieved.
"How's it going? How's the progress?" Qin Rushuang asked.
"Zhu Sha and a group of troops are trapped in the bandit camp."
After Xie Xun explained, Qin Rushuang knew what was going on.
It turned out that Xie Xun came with his troops today, and because Wu Yong showed the way, everything went smoothly.
They quietly subdued the bandits guarding the outside. As Wu Yong said, most of them were ordinary people.
The real bandits are very cunning and hide in the deepest part of the village.
Xie Xun originally wanted to make a long-term plan, but Zhu Sha wanted to end it as soon as possible, so he asked Xie Xun for an order and led a small team of troops deep into the mountain stronghold. However, they had gone in for half an hour and had not returned yet.
"How is the situation in the city?"
"Master's people have been cleared, what will the prince do next?"
In fact, according to the current situation, if Zhu Sha hadn't been trapped inside because of his great joy, there were many people and they would have many solutions after surrounding the stronghold.
Whether it's a fire attack or a slowly closing encirclement, it's just a trick to catch a turtle in a jar.
But now that Zhu Sha and his team were trapped, they became passive. After all, if they were not careful, they would hurt their own people.
"To be on the safe side, let's waste it. Zhu Sha is the only bargaining chip in their hands now, so he shouldn't be hurt."
And according to the information provided by Wu Yong, because the masters in Shanzhai and Qu County colluded with each other, they would go to Qu County to get food from time to time. There was not much food stored in Shanzhai. As long as it was consumed, a solution could always be found.
Xie Xun originally thought so too, this was the best way.
But......
Xie Xun thought to himself that Qin Rushuang's birthday was less than seven days away. If it went on like this, he might not be able to catch up.
Of course, Qin Rushuang could be allowed to return to Kyoto first, but he felt a little reluctant to give up.
Two people came together, how could she go back alone?
So Xie Xun said: "Let's fight quickly."
Qin Rushuang nodded. Since Xie Xun said so, let's use a quick solution.
But now they are still waiting for the bandits inside to come up with conditions.
Going in hastily will only make you more passive.
After making a plan, Qin Rushuang looked around and saw two tents set up outside the encirclement.
It seems that the military advisor also felt that there was nothing he could do about these bandits for a while. It was cold at night, so he put up his tent early.
This matter was not urgent at the moment. Qin Rushuang guessed that the bandits would not negotiate with them until early tomorrow morning, so she returned to the tent.
As soon as he sat down, Xie Xun also lifted up the tent and came in.
"I'll have someone boil some hot water for you to wash yourself off."
As soon as Xie Xun said that, Qin Rushuang felt that she was indeed feeling a little uncomfortable.
She had experienced too many things that day. When she came, she was walking in a hurry and was sweating. Now she was getting colder and couldn't help but sneeze.
Xie Xun frowned and immediately called for the soldiers: "Let the military doctor cook some decoction to dispel the cold."
At the end, he added: "Cook more and let the soldiers use some."
As soon as Xie Xun finished speaking, Qin Rushuang felt warm in her heart.
Xie Xun has now learned to think about her in many things.
It's not that she was moved by a bowl of ginger soup, but if Xie Xun only cooked it for her, and now the situation is urgent and the deputy general is trapped, he is afraid that it will be rumored that she is too delicate and has many things to do, and does not care about the lives of the trapped soldiers.
Bad rumors like this.
If she cooks more, she, who is treated as a special person, will not be considered special in the eyes of others. After all, everyone has drank the cold-repelling decoction.
"Drink the decoction first, otherwise you will be sweating after drinking it and your bath will be in vain."
After Qin Rushuang finished her bowl of soup, the soldier brought a large basin of hot water.
Xie Xun went out very consciously: "I am outside the tent. If you need anything, please call me."
Qin Rushuang was not surprised. When they were at the inn before, Xie Xun would avoid her when she took a shower.
But when Qin Rushuang really felt comfortable soaking in the water, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
A bonfire was lit outside the tent, and the flames imprinted Xie Xun's slender body on the tent, and Qin Rushuang could see clearly inside.
Thinking that Xie Xun was not far away, Qin Rushuang felt a little awkward.
And the fact that she can see Xie Xun's figure proves that people outside can also see her bathing shadow?
Thinking of this, Qin Rushuang instantly became vigilant.
She listened carefully again, but found that Xie Xun seemed to be the only one outside the tent.
At this moment, I heard from a distance that the military advisor said that he had something important to discuss with the prince. He only heard a soldier say: "The prince has an order. No one within the three pillars of incense is allowed to approach the tent. Please wait, sir."
Qin Rushuang immediately understood that Xie Xun had sent everyone away, and he didn't trust her alone, so she could only stand outside and wait.
For some reason, Qin Rushuang's face felt hot. She retracted her body into the water, touched her unswelled belly with her fingertips, and secretly made a decision.
After taking a shower, Xie Xun came in.
The military advisor who had been waiting for a long time was finally allowed to go outside the tent.
"Your Majesty! I'm here to discuss with you how to send troops tomorrow."
Originally, previous discussions were held in Xie Xun's room or tent, and there was nothing wrong with that.
But Xie Xun glanced at Qin Rushuang, whose hair was slightly wet, and her black hair was stuck to her snow-white neck. The water droplets falling from time to time slid along the collar and into the hidden clothes. Because of the hot water, her face was soaked red, which made her even redder.
How charming...
"Go to the military advisor's tent today."
When Qin Rushuang heard this, she immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please wait for me to dry my hair. Let's go together..."
Xie Xun pressed him down and sat on the edge of the bed, "You have helped me enough with Qu County's affairs. Have a good rest. Leave the rest to me."
Xie Xun's move seemed considerate, but only Xie Xun knew whether there was any jealousy in this consideration.
Qin Rushuang didn't refuse anymore and went to sleep peacefully.
A night of silence.
Early on the next morning, a small bandit leader appeared outside the camp where the army was stationed, using a soldier as a human shield.
"Young man Sun Mao, I came here to see King Huai!"
