He'er couldn't help but startled when she heard the familiar voice. She slowly turned her head, her eyes fell on Xue Rengui, slowly focused, and then blinked hard, somewhat unbelievable what she saw.
The next moment, He'er stood up suddenly, dropped everything in his hands, burst into tears, and shouted excitedly: "Is it you, Brother Xue? Is it really you?"
"It's me, I'm sorry!" Xue Rengui's eyes turned red, and he was ashamed beyond words. He wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl in, shamelessly facing He'er's clear and pure gaze.
"It's okay. I knew you were coming back. Is there any news about the young master?" He'er was very excited. He took a few steps forward and looked at Xue Rengui intently, with tears streaming down his face.
"The young master is commanding the army outside the city, and asked Xue to take the lead in attacking the city."
"I knew it, I knew the young master would not abandon me..." He'er smiled happily, like a white flower blooming in the rain. Suddenly, his vision went dark and he fainted to the ground.
How could a weak woman not be afraid when she was kidnapped and brought to a foreign country?
It was a miracle that he could persist until now. When he heard that his man was riding a war horse and leading an army into the city, he was overjoyed and his spirit could no longer support him.
"lady?"
Xue Rengui was overjoyed, and rushed forward, wanting to help, but thinking of his identity, men and women were not close to each other, he quickly turned back, his eyes fell on the female slave who led the way, and shouted: "Quick, pinch people, that's it!"
As he spoke, he pinched his own body to set an example.
The female slave quickly came to help.
Not long after, He'er woke up leisurely and was helped to sit down on the bed. After drinking some water, he calmed down and smiled like a child. He kept asking: "Where is the young master? Take me to see the young master quickly?"
"
"There is still some chaos outside and the enemies have not been cleared. For safety reasons, please wait here for a while. We have sent someone to deliver a message. The young master will arrive soon."
"That's good, that's good!" He'er was extremely happy and didn't ask for anything more. She thought of something and asked, "My daughter, is she okay?"
"I don't know either. I came here after the murderer and never came back."
He'er's expression changed, she stood up solemnly, and saluted: "Thank you very much, Mr. Xue, for risking your life to save me. He'er will keep it in my heart, and I will definitely repay you if you have the chance."
"I don't dare to let you suffer for several months. It's Xue's incompetence."
"He'er, He'er!"
Outside, a quick sound came, accompanied by footsteps.
"Little Lord?"
When He'er heard the familiar voice, tears welled up again and she rushed towards the door.
Outside the door, Qin Huaidao rushed in and held He'er in his arms. He was afraid of losing her again. He was so emotional that his voice was trembling: "He'er, it's me who is useless and made you suffer."
"I'm fine. I've been imprisoned in this house since I was brought here. I have enough food and clothing. I just miss you and our daughter. Is she okay?"
"Very good, I can call you mother now." Qin Huaidao said quickly, with tears in his eyes.
Xue Rengui signaled everyone to go out and gently closed the door. A surge of anger rushed to the top of his head. He said to Luo Ying and Luo Wu who were following him: "Qiemo Kingdom kidnapped Madam, who is your aunt, and this is an irreconcilable hatred.
The safety of the young master is in your hands. I am going to kill people and take revenge. No one involved in this situation can survive."
"Go, my brothers are here." Luo Ying said solemnly.
After Xue Rengui left, Luo Ying looked at Luo Wu: "Brother, you have been with him for a while, what do you think of this person?"
"I value love and righteousness, and I am afraid that no one can match us in terms of force. He is also proficient in the art of war and is good at running an army. I don't know anything else. When it comes to marching and fighting, I dare say that no one can be his opponent except my uncle." Luo Wuyi
The face is solemn.
Luo Ying knew his brother very well, but he was a rebellious and rebellious person. Most people didn't take him seriously at all. To be able to speak so highly of him was definitely extraordinary. He was determined in his heart: "Then I can rest assured. Uncle may be the one to take care of him."
Leave it to him to take care of Mo. As you said, I should be able to keep it safe."
"How can a small Qie Mo satisfy him? In my opinion, it won't take long before thousands of miles around will be conquered. If you don't believe it, just wait and see." Luo Wu reminded.
"Are you sure?" Luo Ying was a little shocked.
"I'm sure, brother, you still underestimate him. It's worth making friends here, and we can depend on each other for life and death. Moreover, he has a close relationship with uncle and Luo Zhang. They are as close as one family. So we are also one family. Don't you have any dissatisfaction?"
"
"How could it be? I know him quite well, but I don't know how capable he is of leading troops. I'm worried that he won't be able to manage well and betray my uncle's trust. I feel relieved after hearing what you said."
The two brothers chatted casually, looking around from time to time and staying alert.
After a while, the door opened and Qin Huaidao came out.
"Uncle!" the brothers greeted quickly.
"Luo Ying, leave a team of people to guard here and wait for the house to be ransacked. The others will follow me." Qin Huaidao warned and walked forward, holding He'er tightly in his hand.
This intimate gesture can be seen everywhere in later generations. At this time, it was a bit too polite and seemed frivolous, but no one dared to say anything. Instead, they realized He'er's status in Qin Huaidao's mind and followed closely behind him.
He'er also knew that it was not good to do this, but she was afraid that it was all a dream, so she held on tightly for fear of losing it.
The group left the Prince's Mansion and soon arrived at the Royal Palace not far away.
The guards at the door have been replaced, the corpses on the ground have been cleaned up, and everyone walked in and came to a palace.
The palace was not big and was built with a mixture of mud and stone. It looked very simple. Xue Rengui and others came up to greet them and saluted one after another. Qin Huaidao came to the main seat and sat down. He motioned He'er to sit next to him and wait a moment. He then looked at Xue Rengui and said
: "Tell me about the situation?"
Xue Rengui quickly replied: "Young Master, all the high-level officials have been captured and imprisoned together. Their family properties have been sealed, and the treasury has also been sealed. More than 2,000 prisoners have been captured. Maybe there are soldiers who have taken off their uniforms and gone home. Do you think?"
"Go back and search house to house. Convict all of them into slaves. Kill all of the royal family as a warning. If you dare to kidnap my woman, you must be prepared to die. You will do this yourself. The statistics of the spoils will be handed over to the staff. From now on
"You are allowed in but not allowed out. Send people to release water. If there is no water in the city, there will be big chaos."
"Obey the order!" Xue Rengui and Li Derjian solemnly clasped their fists.
Qin Huaidao's eyes fell on Cheng Chumo and others, and continued: "Qiemo City has been captured. Xue Rengui has been appointed as the commander of the Qiemo City garrison. He will be in charge of military and political affairs and clear out the surrounding tribes within half a year. Li Derjian, you go back to Qitun
In the city, he assisted Luo Tong in taking down the crossbows, and then presided over the training of officers at all levels. Cheng Chubi served as the deputy commander of the Qiemo City garrison, assisting Xue Rengui, and Cheng Chuliang went to Qitun City as the deputy commander, assisting Luo Tong.
Cheng Chumo, Fang Yiai and I are going back to Chang'an, I'm afraid something will happen there, and I need your help."
Cheng Chumo and Fang Yiai represent Cheng Mansion and Fang Mansion respectively, and they are very useful to have around.
"Obey the order!" Everyone accepted the order with a roar.
Cheng Chumo and Fang Yiai originally wanted to stay and expand the territory, and the worst option was to become the commander of a city's garrison, but Qin Huaidao opened his mouth and it was difficult to refuse, and there was some grudge in his heart.
How could Qin Huaidao not know what the two of them were thinking? He softened his tone and explained: "I'm afraid Chang'an will be in chaos, and it won't be possible without your help. But don't worry, I'll be back in half a year at most, and then attack westward. A mere army commander is nothing."
, they have it, I guarantee you both have it."
This is a commitment.
It’s even more of a display of ambition.
Everyone's eyes lit up and their breathing quickened.
Having said that, it would be inappropriate to refuse. Cheng Chumo and Fang Yiai exchanged glances and nodded solemnly as an agreement.
"Give your troops to Xue Rengui and come back with me tomorrow." After Qin Huaidao finished speaking, his eyes fell on Li Yixie. Li Yixie's father, Li Junxian, was demoted to Tubo, but Tubo became independent again. Li Junxian didn't know what happened to him.
Even if I go back alive, I'm afraid I'll be suppressed and won't be able to help.
Thinking of this, Qin Huaidao said: "Li Yixie, there is great chaos in Tubo. Your father is in Tubo or has returned to Chang'an. It is difficult to find him in the vast sea of people. What do you personally think?"
"My father is not weak in force and can protect himself. He should have returned to Chang'an. Brother Qin, please tell me that I am fine. Don't miss me. I want to stay."
Qin Huaidao understood immediately that Li Yixie wanted to take the opportunity to do something great. After thinking about it, he said: "Dianhe and Nuzhi are large tribes with a lot of troops. I am worried that Luo Tong and Cheng Chuliang are not strong enough. You can go there too."
, also led the deputy commander to assist Luo Tong in taking down the two major tribes as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Li Yixie was overjoyed and quickly agreed.
"Everyone!"
Qin Huaidao's face became solemn, he sat upright and said with a cold face: "The Tang Dynasty has 10 roads, 358 states, and 1551 counties. When I return to Chang'an, I will request the imperial court to establish Hanzhou, with Loulan and Qitun under its jurisdiction.
At the end of the three cities, change Hanzhou into a fiefdom, and ask for the title of King of Han. It depends on you whether we can conquer the entire Turks and restore the glory of the Han Dynasty."
"Hanzhou? King of Han?"
"The glory of the great Han Dynasty?"
Everyone was chewing on this key information, their blood was boiling, and their eyes were wild.
Fang Yiai couldn't help but ask: "Brother Qin, what if the court doesn't allow it?"
"Then establish your own country and bring your family members secretly. Therefore, Cheng Chumo and you are required to accompany us. You will all be the founding fathers of the country in the future." Qin Huaidao's words were loud and domineering.
"hiss--"
Everyone had already thought of this, but when they heard Qin Huaidao say it with their own ears, they couldn't help but be shocked.
"Okay, you and I just need to know about this, and we can't let it out." Qin Huaidao reminded that the reason why he made his ambitions open and honest was to stabilize people's hearts, and he had to do it.
