Chapter 78: Bad News: The Assassination of the Emperor
In March of the 20th year of Emperor Jing's reign, in the Battle of Wuyuan between Yan and Chu, the Yan army defeated the Chu cavalry and captured more than 200 dredging horses. This ended the myth of the undefeated Chu cavalry and the morale of the Yan army was high.
In Shangguan Hao's military tent, Xia Qi and Yuan'er sat face to face by the stove, while Shangguan Feng'er sat on the couch and read a book, while Shangguan Hao wrote something on the case.
"Yuan'er, you don't know that the Chu cavalry rushed over fiercely. When our soldiers in the first two rows saw it, they quickly threw the fried soybeans out of the basket. Guess what?" Xia Qi pretended to be mysterious.
asked.
"What's going on?" Yuan'er opened her eyes in response and stared at Xia Qi.
Xia Qi patted his thigh, "The horse ran faster towards our army."
"Ah." Yuan'er said in a long voice, obviously surprised.
"Guess what happens next." Xia Qi raised his eyebrows and pretended again.
Yuan'er obviously felt a little bored, "What else can I do? I'll just beat him." It was really annoying that Xia Qi didn't finish the sentence at once.
"You guessed it wrong." Xia Qi glanced sideways at Yuan'er after saying, "I know, those horses were running, and when they arrived in front of our army's formation, they all stopped to eat beans. What could the people on the horses do?
He couldn't even move, and then our troops rushed forward, stabbing with spears, slashing with knives, and some even pulled the man off his horse."
"Ah!~~~" Yuan'er obviously didn't know much about this kind of scene.
Seeing this is like this, Xia Qi stunned, "You think, the cavalry of this Chu Kingdom killed how many soldiers of our army before, this time he seized the opportunity to get revenge, and he didn't beat him hard."
It was full of joy, thinking about how much the Yan army hated the Chu cavalry.
Shangguan Feng'er on the side also listened quietly, while Shangguan Hao looked at her with a smile. Suddenly Shangguan Feng'er seemed to think of something, and turned her head to look at Shangguan Hao worriedly, "Brother, let me see
How is the wound on your back?"
Guan Hao didn't have to go this time, but he insisted on going.
Shangguan Feng'er was already quite worried about him, but now that she heard Xia Qi say that there were killings on the battlefield, she thought that Shangguan Hao might have used too much force during the killing process and tore open the wound.
After hearing Shangguan Feng'er's words, Shangguan Hao was startled and said, "Don't worry, this little injury has already healed." He didn't expect that Shangguan Feng'er would be worried about him, and his heart suddenly felt full, and the friendship in his eyes became even stronger.
"Is it really okay?" Shangguan Feng'er repeated unconvincingly: Boys are very strong, and he didn't tell her last time he was hit by an arrow. If it weren't for Xia Qi's scream when he came back, she would never know.
"Don't worry" Shangguan Hao gave her a reassuring look.
Dividing line------
In the next few battles, the Yan army won consecutive victories.
In April of the 20th year of Emperor Jing's reign, Yan State recovered Qishan, Wuyuan, Liaoyuan and other places occupied by Chu State.
Inside Shangguan Feng'er's tent
"Tomorrow is the last battle. As long as this desert land is taken back, Chu State can be completely driven out of Yan State, and you can return to the palace." Liu Shijie sat opposite Shangguan Feng'er and looked at Shangguan Feng'er after speaking.
His right hand looks sad.
"Well, I'm going back to the palace." Shangguan Feng'er smiled and looked down at his right palm. When he came, he was ready to leave and never return. He didn't expect that he could survive until he went back.
It would be of some use to Dr. Jiang to come here.
I just don’t know how my father and mother are doing. After not seeing each other for a few months, my mother and concubine have lost a lot of weight. Is my father always worried about me?
"Princess, the second prince is here."
Shangguan Feng'er and Liu Shijie looked at each other, and then in a blink of an eye, they saw Shangguan Hao walking into the tent, glanced at Shangguan Feng'er, and then looked at Liu Shijie who was aside.
Liu Shijie said goodbye knowingly and left the tent.
"Brother Imperial, what happened?" Shangguan Feng'er stared at Shangguan Hao. From the first moment Shangguan Hao walked into the tent, Shangguan Feng'er felt that the way he looked at him was different today.
"Feng'er, you have to be mentally prepared." Shangguan Hao frowned and looked at Shangguan Feng'er worriedly.
"Brother Emperor, what happened? Did something happen in the palace?" She couldn't think of anything else besides something happening in the palace that she should be mentally prepared for.
Shangguan Hao nodded silently and said slowly, "Father was assassinated."
"Ah?" Shangguan Feng'er was stunned as if his heart had been hit by a blunt object.
