"I will reward you heavily!" The emperor looked at the long-haired He Qizhou and said excitedly.
"No need." He Qizhou replied coldly and looked up at Helian Chenwu.
The two looked at each other and were both a little stunned.
"Your Majesty, Qingqing said that Zhou Qi looks a lot like you. I didn't believe it at first, but after taking a closer look, it turned out..."
"You are He Qizhou!" Helian Qingfeng gently pushed the queen away, stared at He Qizhou, and said excitedly after taking a step closer.
"I have to go." He Qizhou didn't dare to look directly at Helian Qingfeng. He could no longer bring his bad luck to this infatuated uncle. After taking a step away, he wanted to go south.
"Brother Zhou, where are you going?" He Lian Qingqing, who had arrived quickly, blocked He Qizhou's path. There were tears that had just frozen in the corners of his eyes, which must have been tears of joy at seeing his mother safe.
"I said I have to go." He Qizhou found the horse he had just ridden and prepared to go around Helian Qingqing.
"Your Majesty, do you want to pursue us again?" Lian Tianzhong also led Helian Chenwu's army to stop not far away.
"Stop chasing." Helian Chenwu responded, then rushed to He Qizhou, opened his arms, blocked his path, and said sincerely: "I know it's me who has wronged your family, can you give me a chance to make amends?"
!”
"There are so many people who look alike in the world, how can you be sure that I am He Qizhou?" He Qizhou was slightly moved, but still asked coldly.
Helian Chenwu took out a square piece of paper from his sleeve, slowly unfolded it, and then said excitedly: "This is the portrait that Qingfeng has offered to reward you... Follow me to fulfill your mother's last wish!"
The portrait showed a proud and handsome face with gray hair on the temples. It was undoubtedly He Qizhou.
"I, I can't do it." He Qizhou replied sadly. The brutal killing just now made him feel heavy and guilty again. At least thirty or forty people died under his sword, many of them just ordinary soldiers.
"Zhou Qi, no, Xiao Qi Zhou, His Majesty knows that you are still alive, and has been thinking of you. The family is reunited, at least stay for a few more days." The delicate and gentle queen came over and gently took He Qizhou's hand.
, holding Helian Chenwu with one hand again, making He Qizhou embarrassed to say goodbye again.
"I can only stay for five more days." He Qizhou lowered his head and replied. Beside him was Helian Chenwu and Helian Qingqing's earnest eyes. He reluctantly agreed to stay for a few more days. If it was later, it might exceed the agreement with Luo Yu.
It's time.
That night the army camped on the northwest coast of the North Sea. The powerful Shengzhou soldiers under Helian Chenwu's tent built hundreds of igloos in two hours. Helian Chenwu stayed with He Qizhou for a long talk all night, and still persuaded He Qizhou to help
He unified the Zhou Dynasty.
After the break and reconnection, although He Qizhou regained some confidence, he had been discouraged for a long time and was really unwilling to go on a war expedition, so he just refused silently.
From a long conversation all night, He Qizhou learned that Helian Chenwu's situation was not good. Because Lin Hu and his 20,000 main force suddenly surrendered to the enemy, the defense of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty seemed to have been drained. Helian Chenwu could only give up Baicheng and head northwest.
Escape from the wilderness.
Helian Qingfeng wanted to eradicate the weeds, so he sent another 20,000 people to Linhu to control them, pursued them all the way, and then asked Beijing Kulun King Gosying to lead his 30,000 horsemen to go north to encircle and suppress them. The two armies accounted for almost half of Beizhou's military strength. The purpose was to
Make Helian Chenwu die!
When Helian Chenwu evacuated from Baicheng, he brought 20,000 troops and 50,000 people with him. After several fierce battles, now there are only less than 1,000 Eighth Army and 20,000 herdsmen left. This is despite the continuous recruitment of fishing and hunting tribes and fleeing horse bandits along the way.
the result of.
Because the target of the large army was too large, Helian Chenwu divided the army into six or seven groups and evacuated to the north and northwest respectively. Among them, the harem and civil servants all evacuated to the northernmost place. It was thought that it was still a severe winter in the north, so they should stay in the northernmost area.
The queen and her entourage in the north should be in no danger, but Lin Hu's soldiers were unexpectedly in danger. He sent a 500-person guard battalion to take over the harem and the imperial court of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Upon receiving the news that someone had broken into Beihai, Helian Chenwu hurriedly led his two thousand cavalry to rush over, and then witnessed He Qizhou's bravery with his own eyes. Without his obstruction, Tong Tai would probably have captured the harem and escaped unharmed.
That Tong Tai was originally a retainer of the Bohai Palace. Later, Helian Chenwu ascended the throne. In order to win over Lin Hu, he transferred the Bohai throne to Lin Hu and assigned Tong Tai, who was not strong enough, to Lin Hu's subordinate. Unexpectedly, Lin Hu saw Tianlong.
The leader's death was revealed, and he thought that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had no chance of victory, so he turned to Helian Qingfeng. However, this Tong Tai had long been in secret with the Northern Zhou Dynasty and was the one who encouraged Lin Hu to rebel.
Helian Qingfeng also said that if Goshawk hadn't been jealous of Lin Hu's promotion to the leader of the Tianlong Cult, and the two of them seemed to be incompatible with each other and were constraining each other, his situation might have been a hundred times more difficult.
He Qizhou had already experienced the power of Red Flame and Wu Shi, and was quite curious about Lin Hu and Goshawk, so he asked about Goshawk's real name. Unexpectedly, Helian Qingfeng said that Goshawk's name was Goshawk, or was it?
It started on its own.
It turns out that the previous leader of the Tianlong Sect was an unparalleled talent, and he was also very selective in selecting his disciples. Goshawk and Chiyan were both children he found from the Shengzhou tribe, and they did not have Han names. Chiyan practiced the Fierce Flame Kung Fu.
He was named Chiyan, and Goshawk came from the northern grasslands. He had revered hawks since he was a child, so he named himself Goshawk. The other two disciples, Lin Hu, were from the Bohai country, and Wu Shi was from the Tuyu Hunwu clan.
Later generations, the talented Tianlong Sect helped the Helian family to firmly control the Zhou Empire.
He Qizhou asked again about the strength comparison between the four of them. Helian Qingfeng seemed quite ashamed of this, saying that except for archery, his martial arts skills were far inferior to those of his elder brother Helian Qingfeng and his sister Helian Mingyue.
There is a huge difference. When it comes to the strength of the four of them, Chi Yan should be the weakest in martial arts since he practiced Poison Kung Fu. The other three have their own merits, and no one is convinced by the other.
Helian Chenwu talked a lot, but when asked about He Qizhou's past, He Qizhou didn't want to mention the sad past, but just dealt with it hastily and gave a general outline.
Helian Chenwu said that he was still on the run and would not stay in each place for more than a month. The northern border was vast, and it would not be so easy for forest tigers and goshawks to capture him. Besides, most of his eight thousand soldiers were
Among the elites left behind by the Daliang Taosha, the combat power of the three thousand woodland tribe warriors is definitely better than that of the Yulin Guards of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It is a pity that the number is too small. If there are more than ten thousand, they will be invincible in the world! If He Qizhou is willing, he can be allowed to serve as this guard.
Commander of the army!
He Qizhou had no doubts about Helian Chenwu's confidence in his troops. He looked at a group of strong men sitting on horses like iron towers on the ice, all with unruly expressions. No wonder Tong Tai, who was outnumbered, would run away. He Qizhou had already seen this.
Compared with the fighting strength of Lien Tianzhong's hundreds of imperial guards, his personal fighting strength should easily defeat Lin Hu's personal guards, one against two. The reason why both sides suffered similar casualties was mainly because Tong Tai's army attacked in groups.
In fact, Lin Hu's personal cavalry is not weak. If placed in Qi State, it would be comparable to the most elite soldiers among the tens of thousands of imperial guards. However, it is still far less powerful than Shengzhou's cavalry. If the army in front of him can really gather 10,000 people.
Count, Helian Chenwu's chances of winning will indeed increase greatly.
Those were the soldiers that every general longed for, but He Qizhou once again rejected Helian Chenwu's proposal. His dream of uniting the army to fight in his youth had disappeared with the death of his adoptive mother, so he would not agree to the other party's request.
Helian Chenwu finally begged He Qizhou to stay for five more days. By then, the ice would begin to melt, and he would move his team to the southwest, which would be closer to the summer pastures of several large tribes such as the Pangu tribe, hoping to get more food there.
Support from the Duo Sheng Zhou Tribe.
Seeing the sincerity of the other party, He Qizhou had no choice but to agree, and planned to use these ten days to consolidate the channels of the Ren meridian and try to create the channels of the Du meridian in flesh and blood.
In early April, the wind in the North Sea was finally not so biting, and the ice was thinning rapidly. The ten-day period had arrived. Although Helian Qingqing, who had been by He Qizhou's side these days, tried to persuade him to stay, He Qizhou had already decided to leave. Besides,
If he didn't move on, he would be unable to move on the ice, so he shook his head and refused.
In the early morning, as if overnight, the tundra on the north side of the lake was filled with red and yellow wildflowers, as if the earth had been covered with an endless flower carpet. Standing on the shore of the lake, with a mirror reflecting the blue sky and white clouds on one side,
On one side is a sea of colorful flowers, which is breathtakingly beautiful.
Equally beautiful is Helian Qingqing, who is wearing a lavender dress. She stands like a stubborn deer Tingting on the ice. Her bright eyes are filled with a touch of sadness. She is so good to him, but why does the man who is about to travel far away never stop?
Not even a smile on your face?
"Uncle, cousin, there's no need to give it away." He Qizhou didn't want his father's regret to appear on Helian Chenwu again, so he chose not to behave as a monarch and his minister.
Hao Lian Chenwu was only thirty-seven years old, and he looked not much older than He Qizhou, who had already grown white hair. He and He Lian Qingqing had already traveled more than five miles on the ice, and they still couldn't bear to be separated.
"Zhou'er, think about it again. Since you said you are not married now, why don't you marry Qingqing? I can make you the heirloom. You are my sister's son. As long as you change your surname to Helian, no one will make irresponsible remarks...
..." Helian Chenwu said with emotion.
Although Helian Qingqing was generous, he couldn't help but blush when his father said it so clearly. Helian Chenwu was not good at women, and he only accepted concubines very late, and almost exclusively favored the queen. Currently, he only has Qingqing.
Just an only daughter.
"Uncle, I, I don't have this ambition, and I have no intention of getting married now." He Qizhou was a little embarrassed. Although he didn't want to hurt Helian Qingqing's heart, he also didn't want to miss the princess's lifelong event.
"What about your ambition?" Helian Chenwu raised his voice slightly.
"No." He Qizhou replied in a low voice. Due to the excessive damage to the Governor Vein, except for the excruciating pain, there was almost no progress in the last ten days of hard training underwater. He Qizhou's newly ignited ambition for revenge dimmed again.
