Li Jing naturally knew that the situation had reached this point now, and Li Tai had no way out.

It would be fine if Zhao Chen didn't show up, but once Zhao Chen appeared, Li Tai would be panicked.

In order to resist the possible revenge that Zhao Chen would have, no one can guarantee that Li Tai would not do anything extreme.

For example, he is still in foster care in Queen Changsun, and his niece of Li Jing.

Hongfu Nu nodded and pulled Li Ruoshuang to sit down.

Li Jing wanted to ask Li Ruoshuang about how Zhao Chen left the transportation team, but it was difficult to speak at this moment.

I had to listen to Hong Funn and Li Ruoshuang talking.

Time passed slowly, the night became darker, and the sound in the room gradually became smaller.

Li Ruoshuang stood up, looked at Li Jing, and said to Hongfunniao: "Mother, father, it's getting late. You guys have to rest earlier, I have to go back."

"Stay for two days and talk to you again."

"Girl, wait a moment. After you go back, ask Zhao Chen what he thinks where His Majesty is."

"By the way, tell Zhao Chen that no matter what decision he makes, His Majesty is dedicated to him and hopes that he will not let himself leave any regrets."

"Be careful on the road, your mother and I won't give you it!" After Li Jing said that, he brought a black robe and handed it to Li Ruoshuang.

Li Ruoshuang nodded, looked outside, saw that no one waved his hand with the two behind him, and turned around and disappeared into the night.

"Old man, I didn't expect Zhao Chen to be His Majesty's son. At that time, I thought he was just a boy from the countryside."

"I don't know what he will do next!" Hong Funu said slowly, but Li Jing shook his head.

How could he know what Zhao Chen will do next?

...

One hundred and fifty miles away from Cangzhou is the temporary camp of the Tang army.

They have been retreating for many days.

In two days, the army can retreat into Cangzhou City and re-establish a defense line.

The Goguryeo army had given up pursuing the main force of the Tang Dynasty, but the rear-breaking troops led by Qin Qiong were strangled by the Goguryeo army.

Heavy losses.

The main force of the Tang Dynasty can no longer control the rear-end troops at this moment.

Xu Shiji now just wants to send the emperor to Cangzhou safely. At least in Cangzhou, the emperor will have a stable residence.

Although he deceived the emperor and said that Zhao Chen was waiting for the emperor in Cangzhou, it was just for the emperor to hold on for a few days.

In the past two days, the emperor has been in a coma for a longer period of time.

The military doctors dare not treat the emperor at all now.

The generals did not dare to ask about the emperor's situation.

Now all the affairs of the entire army have fallen on Xu Shiji.

Xu Shiji never felt so tired.

"Military advisor, why don't you rest today. We will keep an eye on the major military affairs." Niu Jinda really couldn't bear to see Xu Shiji like this.

In just half a month, Xu Shiji got older.

If this continues, Xu Shiji will fall first before they arrive in Cangzhou.

"I'm fine, how are the soldiers doing? Have you distributed all the cold-proof materials?" Xu Shiji waved his hand, but asked Niu Jinda about the situation of the soldiers.

The army has been retreating, and there are pursuers behind him, and the emperor has now had such a big problem.

It is easy to have problems with the morale of the army.

"All sent it down, the soldiers are in good condition. You are your Majesty and the Military Advisor, everyone is worried." Niu Jinda said, looking worried.

"Military advisor, what should we do if Zhao Chen is not in Cangzhou?" Niu Jinda asked again.

This is what he is most worried about now.

Zhao Chen was not seen in the transportation team, and Xu Shiji deceived the emperor and said that Zhao Chen was in Cangzhou, but in two days, the matter would be revealed.

How will Xu Shiji explain to the emperor at that time?

If the emperor hadn't seen Zhao Chen and knew that Xu Shiji was actually lying to him, he would probably have something happened at that time.

"He will be there. As long as he is still alive, he will definitely be in Cangzhou." Xu Shiji looked at Niu Jinda, his eyes inexplicably firm.

Niu Jinda was a little stunned.

He didn't quite understand why Xu Shiji believed that Zhao Chen was in Cangzhou.

But it is obviously not the time to argue about this matter.

They will continue to retreat to the rear now.

Some are busy with things.

"General Niu, go and pass an order to Qin Qiong and ask him to bring the remaining soldiers back."

"We set off immediately. We must arrive at Cangzhou City before noon tomorrow!" Xu Shiji looked at the rising sun in the sky and said to Niu Jinda.

...

"General, another cavalry is chasing him across the street!" On the plain, the Tang cavalry shouted to Qin Qiong with exhaustion on his face.

Qin Qiong looked up and saw blood in his eyes.

They had been blocking the pursuit of the Goguryeo army for more than ten days. The army with nearly 10,000 people left, and there were only less than 500 cavalrymen left.

The rest were either killed or dispersed.

Behind them were the three thousand cavalrymen of Goguryeo, led by the number one general under Yoshigasufun.

"I'll chase after you. I've been harassing them for so long, and Your Majesty and the others are about to arrive in Cangzhou. Our mission has been completed." Qin Qiong shook the two maces in his hand, and his face was calm.

"General, you'd better go first, we can stop them temporarily." The cavalry and Qin Qiong said.

"General, we will die here in battle, which will not cause much damage to the Tang Dynasty, but if something happens to you here, it will be a shame to the Tang Dynasty."

"General, leave. Brothers can't leave here. My subordinates are illiterate and cannot write a letter. But after I go back, I will say to my subordinates and the blind mother at home. Xiaohu can't support her in the old age and see her to see her to the death.

"The cavalry and Qin Qiong shouted.

Qin Qiong shook his head, he could not leave these people here to wait for death.

They were all good men of the Tang Dynasty, and behind them were parents, wives and children waiting for their return home.

"I won't leave, ten thousand soldiers, now there are only a few hundred of us left. How can I explain to His Majesty when I go back?"

"If Zhao Chen hadn't appeared two years ago, I would have died in Chang'an. Today I can be buried here with you, which is considered as a horse-dressed body."

"Retreat? I, Qin Qiong, will never retreat!" Qin Qiong's eyes swept over the cavalry with firm eyes.

The soldiers were silent.

They were thinking of letting Qin Qiong leave quickly. Their hundreds of people would definitely not be opponents of the Goguryeo cavalry.

What's more, they have been exhausted after these days of battle.

"General, they are here!" The cavalry looked at the Goguryeo cavalry charging forward, and their faces were a little panicked.

"Prepare for the battle!" A cold and fierce look flashed across Qin Qiong's face.

Although he was determined to die, the soldiers were still nervous when they really looked at the vast Goguryeo cavalry group ahead.

But now there is no way out, and everyone can only fight with their lives.

The Goguryeo cavalry stopped fifty feet away, and at this distance, the cavalry arrived at one charge.

Huizhen rode a horse from the cavalry group to the front.

"Qin Qiong, my general said that as long as you put down your weapons and kneel down to surrender, for Mr. Hou's sake, this general can spare your life."

"Otherwise... die!" Huizhen pointed at Qin Qiong and shouted coldly.

"Die! Death! Death!" the Goguryeo cavalry shouted in unison.
Chapter completed!
