Hou Qiyun shed tears silently for a long time.

He looked at the mess in the distance and asked: "How much food was saved?"

"Four, more than four thousand stones." The soldier who replied trembled.

More than four thousand stones sounds like a lot.

But an army of 10,000 people would have to eat 4,000 dan per month.

But they are an army of one hundred thousand people!

In other words, these four thousand stones were only enough for them to eat for a few days.

Hou Qiyun looked around and said with a wry smile: "Should we be glad that we are fighting in the daytime? If it were at night, I'm afraid a few more people would die of illness."

Although it is already midsummer, at night, when your clothes are wet and cannot be changed, it is easy to catch wind and cold.

How many people will die from lack of food and clothing?

The soldier lowered his head with a gloomy expression, but he really couldn't be happy.

Hou Qiyun suddenly came to his senses and asked hurriedly: "I wonder what King Xuan's army is like now? All the food has been destroyed? Are there anyone missing or injured?"

The soldier shook his head: "I don't know."

"I don't know?"

"When we retreated, there was no one left in King Xuan's camp."

"..." Hou Qiyun paused and said, "It seems that King Xuan had expected it."

Hou Qiyun felt a hint of dissatisfaction in his heart.

The King of Wei acted out of tune, but regardless of the brotherhood, even if it was a matter of great importance to the court, he should not be so narrow-minded!

"Does anyone know where King Xuan went?" Hou Qiyun asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know..."

"Get the map." Hou Qiyun said.

"yes."

Hou Qiyun quickly spread out the map in front of him and found several places with higher terrain in the suburbs.

"Let's go, let's go forward first." Hou Qiyun pointed in the direction and said, "The only thing we can do now is meet up with King Xuan."

Although this defeat was humiliating, the loss of troops and generals was indeed small.

Only his disciple Zheng Feng died miserably and was beheaded with a single blow.

"Your Highness, King Wei..." the soldier hesitated.

"We are determined to rescue, but we must first resolve our current predicament." Hou Qiyun was much more determined now.

The soldiers responded, and not long after, everyone was dragging their soaked bodies and walking in one direction under the bright sun.

But there was a person lying down among the grass that was washed to pieces by the water and was no taller than a person.

She endured the stench from her nose, and when the army finally slowly disappeared from her sight, she slowly got up and shook her hands and feet that were numb from lying still for a long time.

When the flood came, the entire camp was forced to move.

Naturally, Qiao Xinyu also learned about the capture of King Wei.

She really wanted to strangle her nominal husband to death.

What was this fight about?

Now if we expect King Wei to break into Yizhou City, it is better to expect her to go into Yizhou City on her own to find the whereabouts of her parents...

Qiao Xinyu took a deep breath, tied up her baggage tightly, and ran away from the army in another direction.

At this moment, Dou Ruyun was talking to Xue Qingyin: "I tested a few more and they are all trustworthy. Will I bring them to see you later?"

Xue Qingyin nodded.

Dou Ruyun said, his face a little ugly, and then said: "As you said, over time, some people really have different intentions."

"Um?"

"We are surrounded by brothers and colleagues who escaped death together. We have the same suffering and the same ambition. I never thought of examining them before... Now that I have taken a closer look, I realize that one of us has already been unknowingly

They were divided into two factions."

"Two factions?" Xue Qingyin only spit out two words.

Dou Ruyun continued: "Following Lin Gu is Yao Minghui, a former general of the Xingyuan Army. The two of us once served together in the Xingyuan Army."

"It's just that in the past two years, he has become more relied on by the Mon people. He looks like a reckless man, but he has a clear mind and has some skills in controlling people. Even the princes and nobles among the Mon people are friends with him."

Xue Qingyin interjected and asked: "Is he sincerely allied with the Mon people? Will he be a vassal of the Mon people? And he no longer wants to avenge Prince Zhang?"

"No..." Dou Ruyun shook his head, with a hint of confusion on his face, "Revenge is true. But... he also has his own ambitions. The people who fell in love with him also have their own ambitions. They never thought about Prince Zhang.

There are orphans left behind, and they want to..."

Xue Qingyin suddenly realized: "They want to overthrow Emperor Liang De and become king themselves?"

Dou Ruyun nodded: "Exactly!"

Xue Qingyin smiled: "If this is true, then Prince Zhang's orphan will become a stumbling block for them."

Dou Ruyun's face turned red and he said in a difficult tone: "Yes, right."

It was as if he was the one who did something wrong.

"It's human nature, why are you blushing?" Xue Qingyin said with a smile.

Dou Ruyun sighed heavily: "How can this be human nature? People should stay upright in this world!"

Xue Qingyin admires people like Dou Ruyun very much.

But she might not be able to do it herself.

"There is a price to pay for maintaining your integrity." Xue Qingyin said softly.

Dou Ruyun was not shaken, but said in a deep voice: "It is precisely because it requires a price that it is rare and precious."

Xue Qingyin couldn't help but laugh: "Prince Zhang should be lucky to have a subordinate like you."

Dou Ruyun said repeatedly: "I don't dare, I absolutely don't dare to take it!"

However, his face turned red again, but it was not the same as before.

He had let Xue Qingyin play tricks on him several times, but this was the first time he praised him.

At this time, the curtain was shaken crazily from outside.

Xue Qingyin said quickly: "Someone is coming."

Dou Ruyun said in surprise: "Is this...the two Meng slaves reminding you?"

Xue Qingyin nodded.

"They actually...listen to you like this." Dou Ruyun was even more surprised.

But he didn't bother to sigh, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Xue Qingyin called to him: "If you go out now, you will attract people's attention."

Every time she sees those people running away in front of people in TV series, she feels very speechless.

Doesn't this further indicate that I feel guilty?

"Then hide?" Dou Ruyun looked at the direction of the bed.

Xue Qingyin shook her head: "The King of the Meng clan is not a straw bag... Just be generous and let me teach you how to say it."

Not long after, the curtain was lifted from the outside.

It was indeed the Mon king who came in.

When the king of the Meng clan saw Dou Ruyun, he was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened and he smiled: "Recently, they heard that there are beauties from the Central Plains here, so they couldn't help but circle outside the tent just to catch a glimpse of her beauty. But Princess Xuan is

General Dou brought it back with his own hands, so what? General Dou couldn’t see enough of it?"

Dou Ruyun's face darkened and he solemnly said: "General Yao wrote me a letter."

The king of the Meng clan suddenly stopped smiling: "What did you say in the letter?"

"They want Princess Xuan." Dou Ruyun's tone became more serious.

The Mon king stopped talking.

Lin Gu couldn't help him, so he used Yao Minghui to suppress Dou Ruyun?

The anger in the heart of the Mon king was aroused.

But the king of the Meng clan still said coldly: "In that case, you should come to find me first. What? You want to take people away without the king's permission?"

Dou Ruyun shook his head and said: "General Yao wrote in the letter that the Imperial Counselor sent three letters in a row but could not get a reply from the king. So I came to ask Princess Xuan what kind of methods she used to make the king

She was so reluctant to leave her that she forgot her original identity and role."

The king of the Meng clan shook his head slowly and said: "General Dou is the one who forgot his identity." He paused and said: "The national army won a great victory and captured King Wei. I think they don't need Princess Xuan anymore."
