Ouyang Hong led the 50,000 Jiangzhou garrison into the city. After two battles, the remaining Mu family troops were less than 10,000, and they were already unable to fight anymore. Luo Qingzhi was not confident about saving them.
"Princess, my general will not dare to be your enemy. However, the emperor's order is difficult, and the general cannot resist it." Ouyang Hong explained patiently.
Luo Qingzhi said: "Where is His Majesty's imperial edict? Show it to me."
Ouyang Hong waved his hand, and his subordinate brought the imperial edict wrapped in yellow cloth. Luo Qingzhi took it and opened it to see that it was indeed stamped with a jade seal.
"Well, the general didn't pretend to pass on the imperial edict, right?" Ouyang Hong said calmly.
Luo Qingzhi closed the imperial edict and threw it to Ouyang Hong, "This matter is different. I have to go back to Beijing to see His Majesty."
Ouyang Hong sighed deeply, "It seems that the princess is definitely going to embarrass the general today, so... the general will have to offend the princess first."
"Come here, catch Mu Jiajun, there are troublemakers," Ouyang Hong looked at Luo Qingzhi, "Same crime!"
Nan Xing said loudly: "Princess, please go. If you want me to die, I have to die."
Luo Qingzhi looked at the Mu family army in front of her. They were all scarred and had no fighting power. If they gave up on them at this time, they would really become dead souls under the sword.
She picked up Mu Wanning's spear, walked up to Mu Jiajun, raised the spear, and stood in front of them.
Ouyang Hong stared at Luo Qingzhi, smiled contemptuously, and still ordered, "Princess, you have no eyesight, I have offended you."
With an order, the powerful Jiangzhou garrison and the scarred Mu family army went to war. Luo Qingzhi forcibly used her internal strength to block the garrison's attack with one person.
The corners of Ouyang Hong's mouth twitched, but the excitement on his face couldn't be restrained, "It's really rare for the general to see the princess's grace at the end, keep going!"
Luo Qingzhi's mouth began to ooze blood, and the hand holding the spear began to tremble.
Nan Xing stepped forward to stop him, "That's enough, Princess, you can leave."
"Princess, please go."
The sound of persuasion one after another surrounded Luo Qingzhi's ears like a ringing melody.
"I promise you, young commander."
Luo Qingzhi wiped the blood from her lips with her hands and said softly: "If you are not afraid of death, keep coming."
The garrison had already seen Luo Qingzhi's skills and was somewhat flinched.
"Whoever dares to retreat will be dealt with immediately by military law!"
Ouyang Hong's threat was on the side, and the garrison continued to attack.
Luo Qingzhi continued to fight. No matter how many people came, she killed them in front of her. Before long, they had piled up into a mountain of corpses.
The people in the garrison were a little scared and did not dare to step forward. At this time, Ouyang Hong stopped forcing him. He ran over on horseback and rushed directly to Luo Qingzhi.
She dodged sideways, clearly feeling that her breath was unstable. She thought, she couldn't delay, she had to fight quickly.
Ouyang Hong attacked from behind. She kicked off the ground with her front foot and turned sideways to avoid the attack. At the same time, she stabbed the horse's hoof. Ouyang Hong abandoned the horse and landed on the ground, hitting Luo Qingzhi on the back.
She instantly vomited blood and knelt down on one knee.
"Princess!" Nan Xing picked up his sword and swung it at Ouyang Hong.
Ouyang Hong used his long sword, and the two swords struck each other. He was at a disadvantage heading south, and Ouyang Hong's sword hit his neck directly.
Luo Qingzhi stood up with difficulty and said loudly: "Your opponent is me."
Ouyang Hong stopped, retracted his sword, and said softly: "Princess, you seem to have no fighting power."
"There is so much nonsense, no wonder your garrison is always suppressed by the border troops."
Luo Qingzhi deliberately said words to irritate Ouyang Hong, hoping that he would turn the blame on her.
Qining State attaches more importance to the border army than the state garrison. The most powerful generals in history will also be assigned to the border. After years of accumulation, the people only know the border army but not the garrison.
Ouyang Hong was completely angered, and even forgot that Luo Qingzhi was still the princess of Anning, with a strong murderous intent in his eyes.
Luo Qingzhi clenched her spear and stood ready.
Ouyang Hong came quickly and struck Luo Qingzhi directly in the lower body with his sword.
Unexpectedly, Luo Qingzhi
He didn't hide at all, he even started to get ready to face the attack.
Everyone present held their breath, staring at the two people's movements, not daring to miss any detail.
The stars emitted at the moment when the weapons collided caused the onlookers to temporarily look away. When they regained consciousness again, Ouyang Hong's sword had been split into two halves.
With the victory or defeat decided, Luo Qingzhi turned around and said, "Now, will General Ouyang Shen still want to fight against me?"
Ouyang Hong returned to his previous appearance, and immediately said respectfully: "I never want to go against you, I just want to fulfill my sacred mission."
Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Okay, you come."
Ouyang Hong took a breath and seemed to be embarrassed.
Luo Qingzhi's vision suddenly went dark, and she lost all light in an instant. She tried hard to control her expression so that Ouyang Hong would not notice anything strange.
By chance, Luo Chen arrived with the Pingbei reserve army.
Luo Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Princess, what do you mean?" Ouyang Hong looked at the troops that suddenly appeared behind him.
Luo Chen leaped over and said loudly: "Master, the 30,000-square-foot Northern Army has been assembled in place."
Luo Qingzhi said "hmm" and said, "I'm tired today and don't want to see some annoying people."
"yes."
Hearing the name of the Pingbei Army, the people in the garrison became even more panicked. Ouyang Hong scolded, "Princess, how dare you deploy the border army without any recruits."
Luo Qingzhi ignored his roar, put her hand on the back of Luo Chen's hand, and said, "Let's go."
When Luo Qingzhi put his hand on the back of Luo Chen's hand, he couldn't help but tremble, but Luo Qingzhi gently tapped it a few times and sent out a secret message. Luo Chen understood and led Luo Qingzhi away.
This chaotic scene.
"Find someone to settle down the Mu family army." Luo Qingzhi said.
"yes."
Luo Chen took Luo Qingzhi out of everyone's sight. After observing that there was no one around, Luo Chen asked: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
"I can't see." Luo Qingzhi said lightly.
"What!" Luo Chen shouted loudly.
Luo Qingzhi said: "Can you make it louder to attract everyone?"
Luo Chen immediately lowered his voice, "Then I will take you to find Miss Zhixin."
Luo Qingzhi stopped her, "There was such a big commotion just now, and no one from Mu Mansion came. Something must have happened. Send me to a safe place, and then go and see the situation."
"But where is it safe now?" Luo Chen said.
"State capital." Luo Qingzhi said calmly.
Luo Chen nodded, "Okay."
Luo Qingzhi returned to the state capital. After Ouyang Xun escaped, the state capital was still in a mess with no one taking care of it, but at this time, it was also the safest place.
Luo Chen sent Luo Qingzhi back to the room, always feeling uneasy, "Master, I'd better stay with you."
"No, I'm more worried about where Mufu, Feng Zinan, Qin Shu and Zhixin are." Luo Qingzhi said.
"Okay." Luo Chen nodded, "I will close the doors and windows tightly and go back as soon as possible."
The doors and windows were closed, and Luo Qingzhi's world was completely dark. She sat cross-legged on the bed, trying to use her internal energy, but found that she couldn't feel any airflow at all.
She stopped resignedly, feeling suddenly thirsty. She got out of bed and groped her way to the desk. She didn't find the teapot, so she could only return to bed silently.
"Dong-dong-dong-dong!"
The sudden knock on the door made Luo Qingzhi's hair tremble. In her current situation, she was completely an ordinary woman.
She didn't dare to make a sound at all. She turned her head to listen to the sound, and her heartbeat couldn't stop accelerating.
"Dong-dong-dong-dong!"
The voice sounded again, Luo Qingzhi pretended to be calm and said: "Who?".
"Princess, I am from Mu Mansion. The old general ordered me to come to you."
Luo Qingzhi did not dare to open the door easily and asked: "Where is the general?"
"The general is still in Mu Mansion, so it's not convenient for him to come over."
Luo Qingzhi said: "If you have any questions, you'll be right there
If you say it outside the door, I can hear it."
There was no sound outside the door, as if the man was hesitating.
Luo Qingzhi waited quietly, and the person outside the door said, "Princess, it's not convenient to say those words here. Otherwise, you might as well open the door and let me come in and talk."
Luo Qingzhi didn't answer. She thought for a while that if she didn't open the door, it would arouse their suspicion. After weighing it again and again, she got up and walked slowly to the door.
When she opened the door, she smelled the sweat on the visitor's body and heard the sound of his clothes rubbing when he saluted. She judged that this person was indeed a hard worker.
"The little man meets the princess!"
Luo Qingzhi judged his direction through her body, moved slightly, and adjusted her direction.
"Just tell me."
The man suddenly smiled and said, "Why, the princess didn't recognize me?"
Luo Qingzhi suddenly felt something was wrong. She felt the murderous intention of the person in front of her, and relied on instinct to avoid the knife he stabbed at her. Fortunately, this person didn't have Kung Fu on him and just attacked blindly.
"Who are you?"
The man stopped speaking and stopped attacking.
"You're blind!"
Luo Qingzhi was frightened, but remained calm.
"Let me guess, you should be the steward."
"Ha ha."
Butler Mu took off his mask, "How did you know it was me."
Luo Qingzhi analyzed and delayed for time.
"You pretended to be pretty good, with your clothes, smell, and voice. However, the things in your bones cannot be changed. When you saluted just now, you didn't kneel down. If you were really an ordinary servant of Mu Mansion, you wouldn't be like this."
Butler Mu asked: "It's that simple, you guessed it was me?"
Luo Qingzhi smiled and said, "To be honest, I completely guessed, but I seem to be pretty lucky."
Butler Mu said: "The Mu family is in trouble. Only if you die can we save the master."
"Speak clearly." Luo Qingzhi said seriously.
Butler Mu said: "A group of men in black came just now. They took the master hostage, as well as those people you left in Mu Mansion. The second young master was also there, saying that as long as they kill you, they can let everyone go.
"
Hearing that Gao Zhen was also there, Luo Qingzhi became nervous and continued to ask for details, "Why do they think you can really kill me just by yourself?"
"The man said that you can't use your inner strength." Butler Mu said.
Luo Qingzhi's heart tightened, knowing that the people she couldn't use her inner power with, except Mu Wanning, were all close to her. She didn't want to believe that someone would betray her.
"Who is the leader?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
"He has his face covered, so I can't see him." Butler Mu said.
Luo Qingzhi thought for a while and asked, "Do you want to save your master?"
