Zhao Chen was of course worried about Li Ruoshuang, especially since Li Ruoshuang had not come back for so long.
If nothing happened, it wouldn't have been delayed for so long.
But Zhao Chen also understood that before that, he actually needed to stay here to control the situation.
Otherwise, the emperor is now trapped in the Governor's Mansion and has completely lost the ability to protect himself. If he leaves suddenly again.
I don’t know what will happen!
Now that Cheng Chumo came here with two thousand soldiers from Huangzhou Zhechong Mansion to support him, Zhao Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking about Li Ruoshuang, who still had no news, Zhao Chen couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Zhao Da, why don't you go pick up my sister-in-law now? Li Ke and I are here, it'll be fine." Cheng Chumo said to Zhao Chen.
He also wanted Zhao Chen to go find Li Ruoshuang with peace of mind.
Li Ke nodded and said: "Brother, you should go now. If there is enough time, I can wait for you to come back here."
Zhao Chen glanced at the two of them, and then nodded: "Then you should be careful here. If anything happens, you must make ensuring your own life safety your first priority."
"Don't worry, you are still worried about our abilities, but Zhao Da, please be more careful." Cheng Chumo nodded with Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen didn't say anything anymore, just stood up and left the restaurant.
Cheng Chu silently watched Zhao Chen's leaving figure, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.
The distance between Taizhou and Qixian is about the same as the distance between Huangzhou and Qixian.
Li Ruoshuang hasn't been back for so long, maybe something happened on the road.
…
The official road two hundred miles away in Qixian County.
Thousands of people faced off here, led by Li Ruoshuang and the Eight Great Vajras of Taizhou Zhechong Mansion led by her.
In front of them was a middle-aged man with a gloomy face.
Behind the man were no less than the number of soldiers from Zhechong Prefecture in Taizhou.
"Captain Zhang, what on earth do you mean? Why are you blocking my way?" the eldest of the Eight Vajras spoke up and questioned the shadowy middle-aged man in front of him.
The middle-aged man remained silent, his eyes falling on the leader Li Ruoshuang.
"When did Zhechong Mansion in Taizhou become led by a woman?"
"Where are you, Captain Lin, dead?" Captain Zhang smiled, with a look of disdain on his face.
"You!" The eldest of the eight kings was furious and wanted to take the guy up to deal with Captain Zhang in front of him, but was stopped by Li Ruoshuang with a wave of his hand.
Yesterday, three thousand of them came here. After resting for a while, they were blocked by soldiers from Quzhou Zhechong Mansion led by Captain Zhang.
The explanation given by Lieutenant Zhang was that a joint drill in Zhechong Prefecture from all over the country was going on, and no one was allowed to pass for the time being.
Li Ruoshuang must have been extremely exhausted after seeing the soldiers from Zhechong Mansion in Taizhou running around for several days.
At that time, I didn't want to conflict with Captain Zhang.
So they tolerated it for a day, not wanting to see the captain in front of them still not allowing them to pass.
"What, you still want to take action against me, General?"
"If you dare to take action, I guarantee that you will never get through here safely." Captain Zhang sneered.
He was entrusted by Ma Zhiyuan, the governor of Qizhou, to come here to guard against the Zhechong Prefecture team from elsewhere coming to Qizhou.
Although I don't know why Ma Zhiyuan stopped Zhe Chong Mansion from coming over, and I don't know why Zhe Chong Mansion from elsewhere wanted to come over.
But the benefits offered by Ma Zhiyuan were so generous that Captain Zhang had no reason to refuse.
A woman in front of him was actually leading the soldiers of Taizhou Zhechong Mansion, which made Captain Zhang even more amused.
"How much benefit has Ma Zhiyuan given you? He actually asked you to bring the soldiers from Quzhou Zhechong Prefecture here."
"Retreat quickly now, otherwise you will not be able to bear the consequences!" Li Ruoshuang and Zhang Duwei scolded.
Captain Zhang sneered, he didn't care what Ma Zhiyuan wanted to do.
His mission is only to block this official road leading to the border of Qizhou.
What else does it have to do with him?
"Consequences, what consequences? This general is leading his troops to conduct a joint exercise here. If you go there, you should think about the consequences."
"This road is blocked, you should look elsewhere." Captain Zhang sneered and ignored Li Ruoshuang's warning.
For him, even if Ma Zhiyuan poked a hole in the sky, he was not involved anyway.
He just brought the soldiers from Quzhou Zhechong Prefecture here for training.
It's a drill, where can you let others pass through your camp area casually?
Captain Zhang already had an idea, so he was not worried.
"Your Highness, Princess Han, it seems that this guy is determined not to let us pass through here."
"Why don't we fight out together?" said one of the Eight Vajras.
Li Ruoshuang shook his head.
They were going to Qi County to rescue the emperor, and three thousand people could not be lost on the road.
Otherwise, wouldn’t this rescue be a joke?
But now Captain Zhang was a bastard in front of him, and he was determined to block his way.
Li Ruoshuang couldn't think of any solution for a while.
If Zhao Chen were here, he would definitely find a way.
Li Ruoshuang said secretly in her heart.
Then he waved to the eight kings next to him: "I will have another day of rest today, and we will think of a solution tomorrow."
The Eight King Kongs were stunned for a moment, with some disappointment on their faces, then nodded and asked the soldiers behind him to go back and rest.
"Tch, I don't know where this girl came from, but she was actually allowed to lead the Taizhou Zhechong Prefecture army." Captain Zhang saw Li Ruoshuang withdrawing in front of him, with a hint of disdain on his face.
He also didn't know who Li Ruoshuang was in front of him.
But that's not important.
He just needs to stay here and not let anyone pass by.
…
The night slowly darkened.
Li Ruoshuang leaned against a big tree with a long sword beside her.
Li Ruoshuang thought about how she could take people there, but after thinking for a long time, she still had no clue.
"Your Highness, you've been tired for a long day. Let's have something to eat." The eldest of the Eight Vajras and Li Ruoshuang handed over a piece of dry food.
Li Ruoshuang has no appetite to eat at this time.
He shook his head and said, "You guys can eat, I'm not hungry now."
"Her Royal Highness, the princess, is still thinking about today's events!" The eldest among the Eight Vajras sighed softly, and then asked Li Ruoshuang.
"We don't know what's going on in Qixian County now. If we delay for one more day on the road, Qixian County will be in even greater danger."
"But now we are blocked here and cannot move any further."
"I don't know how Zhao Chen is doing now!" Li Ruoshuang said slowly, with a worried look still on his face.
Zhao Chen asked her to bring the token to Taizhou to ask for help. She finally found reinforcements, but they were stopped here.
Li Ruoshuang couldn't let the two sides fight, otherwise she wouldn't be able to leave here.
Not to mention the loss of soldiers and generals, Captain Zhang will definitely chase them all the way.
If they chase him to Qi County, they might bring trouble to Zhao Chen and the others.
The only way is to kill Captain Zhang.
As a result, Quzhou Zhechong Prefecture will naturally disperse like birds and beasts without the leader.
But what's wrong is who can kill Captain Zhang.
Captain Zhang has thousands of people under his command. Not to mention that it is not easy to kill him. Even if he is killed, who can get out safely? This chapter has been completed!
