Bai Qige had no time to think about whether Zhan Ting and Ye Huawan could be perfect. After spending the night gathering people in Qiaojiazhai with strong drinks, Bai Qige proposed to rush to the imperial capital early the next morning.
"Why don't you wait for Vice General Xu and the others?" Ning Xizui hesitated as he looked at the eighteen hundred people, both good and bad.
"No matter how fast the Hongying Army marches, they can't match our speed. It will take at least three or two days for them to arrive at Qiaojiazhai. It's better for us to wait while rushing. Anyway, these troops are definitely not as fast as the Hongying Army." Bai Qige replied.
He had to be straightforward and without any hesitation, "If you're lucky, we can meet up before arriving at the Imperial Capital. If you're not lucky, you'll just wait for them outside the Imperial Capital for a while, and then decide whether to attack based on the situation."
Ning Xizui was unconvinced. It was exactly as Bai Qige said. She had no other choice but to take it one step at a time.
With the full support of the leader of Qiao Village, a team of nearly 900 people from Qiao Village came out of the mountain in a mighty manner, one person and one horse, accompanied by scimitars. From a distance, they looked majestic, but from a closer look, they were all rough and informal.
The sharp-minded people could tell at a glance that these people were from Qiaojiazhai, and they thought that Dazhai, which was guarding a peaceful place, was about to move. Along the way, many people stopped in front of the road and knelt down to beg the "bandit masters"
Don't leave, causing Ning Xizui and others to laugh and cry.[
The parents and officials are not the masters of one side, but the bandits have become the most trusted by the people, which shows the great influence of Qiaojiazhai.
Because the common people appeared to ask questions and stop them from time to time, the group of people and horses moved much slower than expected. However, before they could reach the vicinity of the imperial capital, Xu Zezhi had already led the Hongying Army to catch up. The two groups of people merged and Wenfeng Congjianghu came.
The number of people who came to support actually reached 1,900. Bai Qige was slightly surprised by the huge number. After careful questioning, he learned that many people admired her and Yi Chen's names.
Those who just came to help, the names of the prince, general and war concubine have already spread throughout the distant country, and are respected and admired by many passionate people.
In any case, having more people is not a bad thing. When Bai Qige put on the battle armor given by Xu Zezhi, she looked like a general leading troops.
The day before approaching the imperial capital, someone approached Bai Qige. In the tense atmosphere, another surprise came. The visitor with a big bamboo hat covering his face gave Bai Qige a vague feeling of familiarity. When the man took off the bamboo hat, Bai Qige almost exclaimed. They met again.
Moved more than happy.
"General Xiao! Why are you here?"
He smiled and put the bamboo hat aside, Xiao Baishan rubbed his gray hair, and his eyes were full of excitement: "I heard that someone was gathering an army along the road without any hesitation. The general knew at a glance that the Crown Princess was coming. In addition to the Crown Princess, there were also
Who has this ability? Those bandits and thugs are all people who hate the imperial court. Only the princess, who has contacts with people in the world and is in the harem of the former dynasty, can let the two sides coexist peacefully, so I
I heard that the mixed army is coming towards the imperial capital, so I didn't even have time to eat, so I waited here for the Crown Princess."
"What a big army, General Xiao is joking again." Bai Qige turned around and raised her chin, looking at the noisy crowd, "There are less than two thousand troops in total, half of them are elite soldiers led by the second brother, most of them are loyal.
The civilian brothers who are helping us still don’t know how far they are from the team that blocked the Imperial Capital. By the way, does General Xiao know about the situation in the Imperial Capital? Who are the people who were sent to surround the Imperial Capital?”
When it came to business, Xiao Baishan suppressed his relaxed expression and took Bai Qige to sit under a tree by the roadside: "This matter is a long story. Please listen to me and tell it slowly. The general was also confused for a long time after the incident in the palace.
, it wasn’t until two common people brought the seriously injured General Ou to the last general’s house one night that they learned the inside story. The Crown Princess should know that the Crown Prince has a group of troops, right? This group of troops has always been in charge of General Ou’s protégé Qi Dong.
After King An Ning launched the palace coup, he immediately sent people to arrest Qi Dong and tortured him. Fortunately, Qi Dong was a man. He never told where those people were or who contacted them until his death. Even the general was also arrested by King An Ning.
Went there, and were originally locked up in Ziyun Palace with the Emperor and the Queen. Later, the Queen found an opportunity to untie the rope from General I’s wrist, which gave General I a chance to escape. However, I had to endure the pursuit while dodging all the way.
With the poison on his body, by the time he got here, General I only had half a life left..."
Thinking of Ou Suiliang, who was still in a coma, Xiao Baishan couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes, and took a deep breath before continuing.
"The last general escaped from the imperial capital at night and took the token to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's men. Now they are waiting to meet up with the crown prince four or five miles to the east. As for the people surrounding the imperial capital, the last general and other generals and soldiers are all
It feels unfamiliar, and I expected it to be similar to ours. It is a team privately raised by King An Ning. I have sent people to investigate before, and they found that there are about four to five thousand people on the other side. They are private soldiers and the imperial army from the outer city combined.
The city's imperial guards are also here."
The imperial army in the outer city was under the jurisdiction of Ou Suiliang. Now that Ou Suiliang was injured and escaped, Yi Chenxuan could use various reasons to select someone to take over. So it is not surprising that these people were sent to guard the imperial capital together.
Bai Qige wrung her fingers and saw that her expression was not relaxed: "The Forbidden Army are all elite soldiers trained by General Ou. The only one we have that can be compared with them is the second brother's Hongying Army, but the Hongying Army only has more than 700 people.
How can we fight against a force of four to five thousand people? Those brothers in Qiaojiazhai are not soldiers. They are brave but inexperienced. I don't want them to suffer too many casualties. Generally speaking, we have to fight against more with less, and it is
The gap is extremely huge, and the chances of winning are really slim."
After careful observation, Xiao Baishan quickly discovered that the people in Qiaojiazhai were a makeshift team, and their combat effectiveness was at least half of their number. The situation was really not optimistic.
The two sat in silence for a while, and no one could think of any good solution. Bai Qige couldn't help but asked in a low voice after enduring it for a long time: "Chen...does General Xiao know about the prince's situation?"
"His Royal Highness, the situation is not very good." Xiao Baishan shook his head and couldn't bear to see Bai Qige's pale face at that moment, but he still told the truth with a hard heart, "Although General I couldn't meet with King An Ning and the Emperor when he was imprisoned in Ziyun Palace.
, but I could hear their conversation. King An Ning seemed to want to stimulate the emperor, and would often talk about things about His Highness. His Highness fell into an ambush and was poisoned by snake venom. After being imprisoned in the sky prison, he was even entangled by a group of poisonous snakes.
, King An Ning thought of many ways to torture His Highness..." As he spoke, Xiao Baishan choked and paused before continuing, "I really don't think that King An Ning, who looks gentle and elegant on weekdays, could be so vicious and cruel in his heart. If he can't
Rescue His Highness, the Emperor, and the Queen as soon as possible, I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous."
"Save, what can I save..." Bai Qige lost her mind and stared blankly at the crowd of people drinking happily not far away, feeling increasingly entangled in her heart.
What is most needed right now is troops, enough troops to fight against the four to five thousand people surrounding the imperial capital. With the Hongying Army on the Zhao side, it is no longer possible to send people to relieve the enemy's siege. Qiaojiazhai can already lend nearly a thousand troops.
After all her efforts, what about the remaining few thousand? What can she use to fill this loophole, and whose strength can she rely on to break through the blockade and break into the palace to save people?
If there is one, there is only one left.
Noticing the slight change in Bai Qige's eyes, Xiao Baishan felt vaguely unspeakable worry. He was about to ask, but was interrupted by two figures walking towards Bai Qige.[
Seeing the two people getting closer, Bai Qige didn't know whether to be grateful or disgusted. The conflicting expression on his face turned into a bitter smile when he thought that Yi Chen might be suffering from pain. He stood up and looked at the two people calmly.
"The military advisor and General Lu have timed it just right. They are well prepared."

Hearing Bai Qige's tone of voice with a hint of ridicule, Wu Siying felt quite uncomfortable, but in the end he felt more ashamed: "Wu Siying really can't disobey the Lord's order, so please forgive me, Miss Third."
"That's all, I'm asking for help from Anling, so it's natural to accept the conditions." Bai Qige turned to Lu Feidu, the closeness and gentleness in her eyes were no longer there, and she could only face the stranger's indifference, "I want to understand first
An Ling’s sincerity, there are four to five thousand people surrounding the imperial capital this time, how many soldiers and horses can An Ling lend me, and can these soldiers and horses do their best to help me?”
Without the relationship with the Bai family, Lu Feidu's closeness to Bai Qige was obviously weaker than that of Wu Siying. When he saw that Bai Qige was about to accept the conditions, he immediately held out four fingers and said with a proud tone: "Our army of four thousand troops is here.
Ten miles away, the third lady only needs to sign a contract, and I can have these four thousand soldiers arrive before noon tomorrow, and I guarantee that they will do their best to fight against the enemy, and there will never be any slack."
Anling soldiers are all former bandits and thugs. They are strong and not afraid of death. In addition, they have been trained by Wu Siying and Lu Feidu. If you take any one of them, they will be experienced battlefield experts. Although they are not as good as
They are the elite of the Hongying Army, but their strength is much higher than that of ordinary soldiers and the Forbidden Army. With the help of four thousand such elite soldiers, it is easy to break through the blockade.
After receiving the reassuring reply, Bai Qige nodded slightly, stretched out her hand and spread it flat in front of Wu Siying: "Where is the contract?"
"Here it is." Wu Siying hurriedly took out a roll of kraft paper from his arms. Before he could hand it to Bai Qige, he was stopped by a pair of big hands. He looked up in surprise, and saw Xiao Baishan standing in the middle with a cold look on his face.
"What contract? Who are these people? What contract has the Crown Princess made with them?" A lot of questions bombarded Bai Qige like a barrage of questions.
Bai Qige stretched out her arms to take the contract, and pretended to be relaxed when facing Xiao Baishan: "General Xiao, haven't you heard yet? These two are envoys from the Anling Kingdom. This is Military Advisor Wu Siying, and this is General Lu Feidu.
General Xiao should have had contact with the Anling Army led by them in Monan."
A series of previous incidents all started due to the Anling Kingdom, and now Anling has sent people to intervene in the palace affairs and to make a contract with Bai Qige. Xiao Baishan's hostility towards Anling has increased or decreased.
"Let's take a look!" Xiao Baishan snatched the contract with his hands. Xiao Baishan glared at Wu Siying and Lu Feidu warily. He was guessing whether An Ling planned to take the land of Yao Kingdom or form an alliance with Zhao Kingdom, but he was struck by the contract.
The content is completely shocking.
Yue Guo Anling lent 4,000 elite troops to Bai Qige, the third lady of the Bai family, to help the prince of Yao Kingdom rescue the siege. After this incident, Anling and Zhao formed an alliance, and the third lady of the Bai family married into Anling as the wife of the master, and was no longer allowed to have any relationship with Yao Kingdom.
