The Suzhou battalion retreated thirty miles in one breath. The team was not scattered and was in good order. Qian Guiting, who was surrounded by cavalry and protected, showed no signs of panic.

"The pursuers have stopped." Someone came over to report.

The sky had completely darkened. Qian Guiting ordered the entire army to stop retreating. He then ordered the rear team to change to the front team and redirect the spearhead in the direction of Shuning City. The shield soldiers served as the frontline protective force. The archers were ready. Everyone was originally

Rest on the ground.

When Qian Guiting and Yuan Changling got off their horses, someone quickly laid out a cowhide blanket on the ground, and someone else put melons, fruits, and drinks on the ground.

Qian Guiting sat down on the carpet, picked up the small wine jar, raised his head and took a sip. At this time, he heard the sound of horse hooves and saw Captain Lu riding over from behind. He turned over and dismounted, walked forward quickly, and stood alone.

He knelt on the ground and said: "My subordinates are incompetent and have lost nearly a hundred cavalry. I beg the commander to punish me."

However, Qian Guiting waved to Captain Lu and signaled Captain Lu to come over. Captain Lu was a little uneasy and came closer. Qian Guiting threw the wine jar in his hand, and Captain Lu hurriedly took it. He didn't understand for a moment.

The meaning of Qian Guiting.

"Captain Lu, you are very good." Qian Guiting, instead of blaming him, said with a smile: "I asked you to lead three hundred cavalry to break the rear. You did not hesitate and were extremely brave. You fought a bloody battle with the left army and lost nearly a hundred people. It can be seen that

You indeed fought bravely. I have recorded your achievements and will reward you heavily later."

"I don't dare." Lieutenant Lu was still worried that Qian Guiting would blame him for not fighting to the end. Hearing what he said, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Get the cavalry in order." Qian Guiting ordered him: "Let them rest where they are and act according to orders at any time."

Lieutenant Lu took the order and retreated.

Qian Guiting then looked at Yuan Changling, and saw Yuan Changling sitting cross-legged opposite him, but he turned to look in the direction of Shuning City, thoughtfully, and asked softly: "Sir, our cooperation in this scene is perfect, why?

Nearly a hundred cavalrymen died, so She Yue must be convinced."

"I hope so too." Yuan Changling did not have the money to return to the court so easily: "Ji Shui Leopard's move is extremely dangerous. She Yue is a shrewd person. I am worried that Ji Shui Bao will not be able to see Musk Yue. If that is the case, he will

All the plans were in vain."

Qian Guiting sneered and said: "The left army attacked our flank and forced us to retreat hastily. The defenders at the top of the city could see clearly. Ji Shui Bao has made such a contribution, it is impossible for She Yue not to summon him in person. Sir, Ji Shui

There are tens of thousands of people under Leopard's command, and She Yue will not neglect Ji Shui Leopard if she wants to conquer these people."

"Young master, what you said makes sense." Yuan Changling finally showed a smile: "Maybe I worry too much."

Qian Guiting smiled and said: "It is natural for you to be cautious and considerate when doing things." He picked up a fruit and took a bite, and said: "But Ji Shui Leopard is not simple. He set up such a plan. To be honest, if I were

Ji Shuibao, knowing that Jing Muan is a spy of the imperial court, is afraid of killing his head with one knife."

Yuan Changling said: "Ji Shuibao joined the Queen Mother Society more than ten years ago and is a true follower of the Queen Mother. His father raised an army back then, but was defeated and captured. He was taken to Kyoto and executed by Ling Chi. After joining the Queen Mother Society,

The Queen Mother Society of Qingzhou was encircled and suppressed by the Shence Army again, resulting in heavy casualties. The grudge between Master Wen and the court would never be resolved in this life. Yu Wen Chengchao thought that he could use his sharp tongue to solve the problem with just a few words.

If you can convince Wen Rengui, you really underestimated Mr. Wen."

"But this Yu Wen Chengchao also had the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard." Qian Guiting sneered: "Knowing that Wen Rengui and the court were fighting to the death, he dared to reveal his identity and persuade Wen Rengui to surrender to She Yue. Sir, you

Are you saying that Yu Wen Chengchao is too courageous or too stupid?"

"Young Master, neither Wen Rengui nor Yu Wen Chengchao should underestimate them." Yuan Changling said seriously: "In order to achieve their goals, they are not only able to endure, but also have no fear. Yu Wen Chengchao dared to reveal his identity to persuade Wen Rengui, Wen Ren

You dare to meet She Yue in person, if you don't have extraordinary courage, you will never be able to do it."

Qian Guiting nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then said: "Sir, if Wen Rengui controls She Yue after he succeeds, will the Queen Mother listen to us or him in the future?"

"Young master, please rest assured about this." Yuan Changling said with a smile: "The city of Suzhou is in our hands, and the money, food and equipment are also in our hands. As long as we control She Yue, the other surnames in Jiangnan will immediately start an uprising, and the anti-Tang forces in the world will also defect to Jiangnan.

, they will only recognize the Seven Surnames of Jiangnan, and they will not take Wen Rengui seriously. Without the support of the Seven Surnames of Jiangnan, Wen Rengui will not last long. He is a smart man, and he will naturally join the old man."

Qian Guiting smiled with satisfaction and said: "He'd better be aware of current affairs." Then his eyes showed a fierce look and his voice was cold: "If it weren't for that bitch Qin Xiao, She Yue wouldn't have been able to escape from Suzhou City, and we wouldn't have spent so much effort.

.After entering the city, I will kill that piece of shit with my own hands."

In the Shuning City County Government Office, Wen Rengui suddenly took action and grabbed the princess's wrist with lightning speed. Yu Wen Chengchao had already said sternly: "What are you doing?" He wanted to step forward, but was blocked by Wen Rengui's men.

.

When Wen Rengui entered the city, he only brought three people with him except Yu Wen Chengchao. However, these three people were obviously not ordinary people, and they cooperated very well. Wen Rengui said "do it" and went to catch the princess in person. The three people immediately got up.

, turned around to stop Qin Xiao and Yuwen Chengchao from coming to the rescue.

They had known the location of Yuwen Chengchao and Qin Xiao for a long time, so by blocking the way for the two to go forward, Wen Rengui could succeed only by delaying it for a moment.

Wen Rengui's movements were really fast. When the princess screamed, Wen Rengui had already grabbed the princess's wrist, twisted around and dodged behind the princess, held the princess's arm behind her back with one hand, and had already spared the princess's neck with his other hand.

, pinching the princess's throat.

Everything happened in a flash of lightning. When Qin Xiao and Yuwen Chengchao saw that the princess was captured by Wen Rengui, they did not dare to act rashly.

"What are you doing?" Yu Wen Chengchao looked stern and said sternly: "You want to rebel?"

A smile appeared on Wen Rengui's lips: "You seem to have forgotten that I have been a rebel from the beginning."

"Wen Rengui, you don't keep your word." Yu Wenchengchao's face turned pale and he clenched his fists and said, "You are trying to kill yourself."

Wen Rengui sneered and said: "Is there no way out? When my father raised the army in Qingzhou, there was no way out. Yuwen Chengchao, in fact, until now, I admire you very much. You dare to admit your identity and even dare to persuade me to join the princess.

, No one would dare to do that without extraordinary courage. The Yuwen family in Xiling is indeed not simple." Then he smiled mockingly and said: "But I admire your courage, but I really don't dare to compliment you on your wisdom."

Yuwen Chengchao sighed: "I was wrong. I thought I could give you a hand and help you restore the Wen family's reputation. But now it seems that the Wen family's reputation is not worth mentioning in your eyes."

"On the contrary, I cherish the reputation of the Wen family as much as my life." Wen Rengui sneered: "On the contrary, it is you, Yuwen Chengchao, and I am afraid that the reputation of the Yuwen family will be completely ruined by you. The Yuwen family has been favored by the Li family of the Tang Dynasty.

, Now you want to be loyal to the traitorous Xiahou clan who usurped Li Tang's country, Yuwen Chengchao, do you know your guilt?"

Qin Xiao didn't wait for Yu Wen Chengchao to speak, and said coldly: "Then do you know that the one you are holding hostage now is the princess of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Princess, forgive the common people for being rude." Wen Rengui's tone was very respectful: "The common people don't want to do this, but they have to do this. The common people don't want to hurt the princess, but there are some things that the common people cannot control."

The princess was obviously frightened and overwhelmed.

Yuwen Chengchao looked at Wen Rengui and sighed: "Have you had this intention since the day you knew my identity?"

"Without the princess, the fate of the Queen Mother Association of Jiangnan would be exactly the same as that of the Queen Mother Association of Qingzhou." Wen Rengui was very calm: "The reason why the Queen Mother Association of Qingzhou failed so miserably back then was that it had no legitimate banner. Everyone thought the Queen Mother would be an evil heretic.

Today's Queen Mother Association of Jiangnan is almost a group of rabble. Compared with the time when the Queen Mother Association of Qingzhou was united, the Queen Mother Association of Jiangnan is even more fragmented. The left and right armies and the Qian family of Suzhou all have their own agendas. Such a group of people

It is simply a foolish dream to segregate Jiangnan."

Qin Xiao sneered: "It seems that you are very aware of the situation of the Queen Mother Association."

Wen Rengui smiled faintly and said: "Every time you learn a lesson, you gain wisdom. It is precisely because of the painful experience of the Qingzhou Queen Mother Association that I know that the Jiangnan Queen Mother Association wants to make a difference. Everything else is not important. It is important."

The most important thing is that we must have the princess as our banner. As long as the princess leads us to resist the Xiahou rebellion, then all the benevolent people in the Tang Dynasty will gather under her command. Only in this way can we truly become a force to resist the Xiahou rebellion."

Yuwen Chengchao looked coldly on Wen Rengui, while Qin Xiao's eyes were as sharp as a knife.

"I knew at that time that you were a spy of the imperial court, and I really thought about cutting you into pieces." Wen Rengui looked at Yuwen Chengchao and said coldly: "It was I who recommended you to General Zuo Shen, and that's why General Zuo Shen was eventually killed.

You killed me. Although Zuo Shenjiang has no unparalleled talents, he was the one who took in the remnants of our Qingzhou army. Over the years, he has also taken good care of me. He was kind to me, but I sent the murderer to him.

, which indirectly led to his murder, Yuwen Chengchao, how can I be worthy of General Zuo Shen if I don’t kill you?"

Yuwen Chengchao sighed: "But you held back your temporary anger and plotted a bigger conspiracy."

"That's right." Wen Rengui said with a smile: "It was easy for me to kill you at that time. But besides avenging General Zuo Shen, killing you has no greater benefit. Since you persuaded me to join the princess, why don't I just follow your plan?

Make good use of your status and take a big gamble!"

"Use me to gain the princess's trust, get close to the princess, and take the opportunity to capture the princess. Is this your plan?" Yuwen Chengchao sighed: "Mr. Wen, you are indeed very smart." His face was solemn and he asked: "Then Suzhou
Chapter completed!
