Huaiyu is slightly cool
Chapter 80
The eldest princess doesn't trust the private army sent by Zhou Huai, but her direct army is not proficient in handling firearms.Therefore, when confronted with the elite Northwest Army and the Zhaoguo Army, which has a large number and has been polished by the battlefield, it is almost a losing streak.In the end, the eldest princess took the risk and led her troops to raid the grain and grass of the enemy camp, but fell into a trap and was besieged in Tongbai Mountain in the southwest of Julu County, Suzhou.
On the second day of September, after more than ten days of siege, the morale of the army was so shaken that deserters kept running, and the food was so low that she had to kill horses for army rations. Looking at the enemy troops who suddenly retreated, she was not very happy in her heart. She just gave orders The whole army returned to the city.
After this incident, the Eldest Princess suffered serious losses in her troops. Although the crisis was temporarily lifted, she rejected the proposal of the military advisers to return to the court.
After re-settlement, the two sides did not continue to fight, but stayed in their respective camps tacitly, waiting for someone to arrive.
More than half a month later, on the nineteenth day of the ninth month, the envoys from the enemy came to invite the eldest princess to a banquet in the Zhaoguo military camp at noon three days later.And the eldest princess, who has been worried since receiving the secret letter from the capital, accepted the invitation and promised to be there on time.
At this time, in the commander's tent of the Zhaoguo Army Camp, Mo Ziqi was still being massacred by his subordinates in the tent while holding a wine glass. He only stared at the square box on the table, which contained a baby boy who was about half a year old. .At this time, the clothes wrapping the baby had been lifted off, revealing the quincunx-shaped birthmark on the right shoulder.A gold lock is worn around the baby's neck, and the lock is engraved with the imperial emblem of the Zhao Kingdom and the word 'Mo'.It's just that the baby is not breathing.
Mo Ziqi sat quietly with his head bowed, blood splashed into his cup.He didn't know it, poured down the glass with red eyes, but the other bandaged hand under the table was clenched into a fist, and the wound on his hand had already been torn and stained through the gauze.
After the pot of wine was exhausted, his personal guards and confidant ministers had turned into a pile of bloody heads, and those who were still alive were all wearing a round jade fish image armband, scattered in the tent , but watched his movements vigilantly.
When the movement inside subsided, the tent door was opened.Zhou Huai, who was outside the tent, looked at the handsome tent that had been 'cleaned' inside, and then walked in slowly.
She was wearing a linen gauze Hai Qingyi at this time, and a large black robe was worn on her thin and slender body. She was weak and dusty, but her monk shoes stepped on the pool of blood without hesitation. Stepped on a blood-red footprint.
Mo Ziqi looked at the domineering and ruthless Zhou Huai who was clearly dressed in monk clothes.He gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, but when he thought that his wife and children were all in the hands of the other party, even the baby he had hidden and gave birth could not be hidden from the other party's eyeliner, the situation forced him, so he had to knock down his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, forcefully With a respectful smile, he stood up to greet her: "Miss Zhou, good... Long time no see."
Zhou Huai turned a blind eye to the hatred and fear in his eyes, and even looked at the baby lazily, and went straight to the point: "Zhaoguo has just driven out the invaders, and he knows the pain, so why should he be that invader now? Moreover, it is the allies who have been helping him all the time! "
Looking at Zhou Huai's compassionate expression, Mo Ziqi felt chills all over his body.Seeing that she didn't mention the child, she was also relieved.He carefully looked at Zhou Huai's expression, carefully chose his words, and said carefully: "Actually, that's not the case. Zhaoguo and Northwest are always the most loyal friends. There are actually other reasons for this incident. Please let me tell you, Miss Zhou." Detailed explanation."
"You can write those explanations and give them to me later. What I want to know most now is: Do you still want to fight?" Zhou Huai finished speaking, his eyes slightly raised, full of domineering.
"These soldiers came to rescue Miss Zhou. Now that Miss Zhou has returned safely, it is natural to withdraw the troops."
Mo Ziqi's attitude was humble, but Zhou Huai just smiled and said, "Since you came all the way for me, why don't you stay a little longer, and I have prepared gifts. When Wu Guisi and the eldest princess come, we will Let’s sit together and discuss it, and take you there to pick it up, how about it?”
Mo Ziqi smiled stiffly: "Hehe, Miss Zhou is so polite."
Zhou Huai stood up and patted him on the shoulder in a friendly manner, saying earnestly: "If you are injured, drink less alcohol. Your body is important. Take a good rest for two days. When they come, you still have things to do. I'll leave first, hey, It's really tiring after traveling day and night..."
Zhou Huai walked out while talking, Mo Ziqi hurriedly asked: "Then these people?"
"something wrong?"
"No...no!"
"Don't be afraid. They are disrespectful to me. It's fine if they don't get up to greet me. They still want to provoke the relationship between you and me. Don't you deserve to die?"
"Yes, it was their fault first! I just want to ask how to deal with their family members."
Zhou Huai had already reached the door of the tent, and didn't look back when he heard the words, only leaving a sentence: "Forget about the family, send their ashes back."
Mo Ziqi responded respectfully, and after Zhou Huai had left, all the people in the tent had left before he raised his head. The flattery and humbleness he had faced with Zhou Huai just now were gone, and there was only a blank expression on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
And September 22 will come soon, this is the day when the eldest princess and Wu Guisi, who received the invitation, will have a banquet.And the eldest princess arrived earlier than Wu Guisi, who was closer to the Zhaoguo camp.
However, Zhou Huai was fighting with Zhao Guo generals in the school grounds. He seemed to have forgotten about the banquet, and instead asked someone to invite the eldest princess to the school grounds.
The eldest princess only brought about a hundred guards into the Zhaoguo camp, and the trip went smoothly.Just watching Zhou Huai fighting with those generals with real knives and guns, even seeing blood, the eldest princess was a little puzzled.
Mo Ziqi was also in the school grounds. Seeing the eldest princess, he hurriedly invited someone to sit in the stands.
After the eldest princess greeted her politely, she was about to ask what Zhou Huai was doing.I heard turmoil in the barracks not far away, and then an army of about a hundred people, holding shields and wearing strange clothes, rushed over.After a while, I saw a burst of smoke rising over there, covering the place where the sound came from, and countless screams and groans like ghosts came out of the fog.
What surprised the eldest princess was that the strange army was tall and burly, with some white and some dark skin on the outside, and even the hair color was different.
Mo Ziqi, who was on the side, saw her curiosity and took the initiative to tell her: "These are foreign races that Dugu Bai brought back from overseas. Most of them have blue eyes, high nose bridges, and fair skin. They have strong physiques, thick hair, and strong fighting power. "
"overseas?"
The eldest princess was about to ask again, Zhou Huai had already ended the competition.Mo Ziqi hurriedly called the military doctor to bandage Zhou Huai's wound. After taking the pills for the doctor's pulse, the group returned to the camp in a mighty manner.
Passing by the camp where the riot was just now, the eldest princess glanced at it from a distance, but saw that the centurion that had just passed by was wearing a strange mask and surrounded a big circle with shields to surround the rioting soldiers to prevent them from escaping.However, the soldiers surrounded by them had already fallen limply in the white mist, howling and screaming, and finally fell silent.
The eldest princess looked horrified, and she seemed to still feel the smell of death in the smoke from such a distance.
"Master Zhao, do you know what they are wearing on their faces?"
The eldest princess was a few steps behind and asked Mo Ziqi who was closest to her. Mo Ziqi glanced at Zhou Huai in front of him, and then answered her in a low voice: "Gas mask."
A woman following Zhou Huai heard their conversation and turned to look at the eldest princess.
The eldest princess stared at the woman with extraordinary appearance and demeanor, and was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized, she stepped forward and asked, "Are you Dugu Bai? Is that man in the capital Dugu Bai a fake?"
Zhou Huai couldn't help but turn his head and cast a sideways glance at the eldest princess, and said first, "That one is also called Dugu Bai, shouldn't the same name be allowed?"
The woman smiled in a good-tempered manner, bent over and clasped her fists neatly to salute: "Dugu Bai has met His Highness the Eldest Princess, Your Highness Wan'an."
The eldest princess felt that she was a good match for her eyes, so she hurriedly supported her with her own hands, and warmly approached her and said, "You don't have to. I heard that you brought those alien races back from overseas? How far is the overseas? Do people over there look like this?" ? What is the country like over there?"
Zhou Huai was taken aback when he saw the eldest princess's affectionate attitude towards Dugu Bai, and then snorted: "Abai, don't pay attention to her. It's not easy for you to come back safely, so go and have a good rest first. After going for more than two years, I thought I wouldn't be able to wait." You, I didn't expect you to come back just in time, it's just in time."
One and a half months after the opening of the granary in the northwest, Zhou Huai's navy, led by Dugu Bai, not only brought in a large amount of corn and potatoes, alleviating the drought and food shortage in the northwest, but also brought mercenaries from overseas to help Zhou Huai control Zhao state camp.Zhou Huai was [-]% satisfied with her.
Dugu Bai smiled apologetically at the eldest princess, before replying: "Bai has been to many other parties in the past two years, and he finally lived up to his fate. It was also God's blessing that he found the very similar foods like corn and potatoes that the master mentioned."
The eldest princess was more delighted than Zhou Huai when she heard the words, and hurriedly asked: "Can I plant a large number of those things in Jingguo? What month are they planted, and what is the yield?"
"I know this too, why don't you just ask me?"
The eldest princess was surprised: "Haven't we already turned against each other?"
"Yes, so what you should be most concerned about now is whether you can still leave here today!"
"You want to kill me?"
Zhou Huai raised his eyebrows: "Can't you?"
"Then why did you let them retreat again? As long as you surround me for a few more days, you don't need to do anything, and I'm done."
The two chatted while walking, it was obviously a matter of life and death, but the tone of the two was relaxed and flat.
"That can't be done. It's two different things for you to die by someone else's hands than for me to do it myself."
"Then you can do it now."
"Yes." Zhou Huai stopped in front of the handsome tent, looked sideways at the eldest princess, and grinned brightly.
'Shua! The curtain was split open with a knife, but the blade avoided Zhou Huai, who was the closest, and headed towards the neck of the eldest princess.
On the second day of September, after more than ten days of siege, the morale of the army was so shaken that deserters kept running, and the food was so low that she had to kill horses for army rations.
