When the Fifth Prince arrived at Baisu Gully with his three reserves, Tong Ningzhao, the commander of the three armies, had already surrounded the valley first.
I thought that the army on the other side of the river had been completely wiped out, but I didn't expect to see almost a single soldier of the Tong family army stationed at the place where my father was in danger.
Fifth Prince's first reaction is anger - Tong Ningzhao as a companion driving the Tutelage, as long as a breath of life is still alive, should not let the Emperor less half a hair, and at this moment, Tong Ningzhao himself has not lost a single hair, but to let the Emperor suffered an accident, there is no face to live in the world?
Tong Tong was startled by the men and horses brought by the Fifth Prince.
He has not yet sent people back to the other side of the river to ask for help, I did not expect the news to leak so quickly, and even more strange is to come to the support of the fifth prince led instead of the Prince.
The gloomy look on the Fifth Prince's face at this moment made him realize that he had to explain himself.
Tong Ningzhao jumped off the horse, kneeling on one knee, first to the Fifth Prince to ask for forgiveness, said he yesterday next day when you card, leading the main army and the Khitan in the Pretty Vein Mountain to fight to the death, beforehand arranged two thousand elite Tong family personal guards and six thousand cavalry, accompanied by the emperor stayed on the second line.
Tong Ningzhao's main army defeated the Khitan army, and then pursued more than ten miles, the midnight heard the rear report, said the emperor in Baisu ditch encountered an ambush, he immediately gave up the pursuit of the Khitan remnants, turned around and rushed to the Baisu ditch, but unfortunately it was already a step too late, the emperor was captured.
The King of Khitan escaped in the evening with 500 of his personal guards along the western mountains, and was discovered by our sentries, who made an urgent report.
The emperor was informed of the opportunity to bring troops to pursue, want to capture the king after forcing the surrender of the remnants of the Khitan, but unexpectedly fell into the trick of the king of the Khitan, but was ambushed.
Now that the emperor is in the hands of the Khitans, Tong Ningzhao doesn't dare to act rashly, but can only surround Baisu Gou and negotiate with the enemy emissaries.
"Is the Holy Spirit safe and sound?" Already ready to fight to the death of the fifth prince, suddenly felt that there is no place to use the strength, do not care to blame Tong Ningzhao, full of fear and concern, only hope that his father's life is not in danger.
Kneeling on the ground Tong Ningzhao face difficult, not long to squeeze out a few tears, red eyes tilted his head to tell the fifth prince: "His Majesty was surrounded by the side of the abdomen hit by a stray bullet, but the wound is not deep, the messenger said that the wound has been cleansed by the military doctor sewing up the wound, the injury is unharmed."
The Fifth Prince's face turned pale, and with a "pale" sound, he pulled out his saber, looked up at the mountains on three sides, and roared, "Where are the Khitan dog thieves hiding!"
"Your Highness, be at ease!" Tong Ningzhao took a few steps on his knees, and with tears in his eyes, he urged, "It is important to welcome back His Majesty first! I failed to protect the emperor, I deserve to die, before I die, I also want to break the body of the Khitan dogs and thieves into pieces!"
The Fifth Prince's heart was burning with anxiety, so angry that he slashed his sword on the earth slope beside him, venting the anger in his chest slightly before his brain regained the ability to think and turned his head to say sharply, ''What are their demands! No need to talk about it! Agree to all of them, and first take father back to the Regiment to heal his wounds, there can be no delay!"
"I understand." Tong Ningzhao hurriedly said, "There was no bargaining during the negotiation just now, and the Khitan envoys demanded that our entire army withdraw to within the border so that the remnants of their army can safely evacuate."
The Fifth Prince thought for a moment and busily said, "Nowadays, saving Father first is the most important thing, just listen to their demands!"
Tong Ningzhao replied, "I am worried that the Khitan dog traitors will go back on their word, so I requested that the Khitan king be allowed to follow our army back to the border in order to exchange hostages as promised."
"That's right." The Fifth Prince said urgently, "We have to make them give hostages!"
Tong Ningzhao said, "The envoy has already brought this request back to the King of Khitan, and is waiting for his sincerity."
The Fifth Prince gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and pondered for a long time.
Thinking of the father-empress being hit by a stray bullet, and thinking of big brother's trust in himself, he felt a mountain of pressure on his shoulders, and after a long time, he turned his head and looked firmly at Tong Ningzhao: "We can't delay the father-empress's injury, I'll go and be their hostage! You welcome back father's empress and immediately cross the river to withdraw your troops."
"How can we put Your Highness in danger! If the hostages can be exchanged, I will naturally take their place!"
"The Khitan dogs and thieves are so treacherous, how could they agree to exchange a military general for an emperor?" The Fifth Prince's mind was made up, and just as he was about to discuss with Tong Ningzhao about the negotiations after the retreat, he once again saw the Khitan emissary who had hurriedly arrived.

Xue Yao was still trying to figure out how to get to the front line and hadn't slept all night.
At the dawn of the second day, he suddenly heard an abrupt system prompt: [Participate in changing the fate of Lu Jinan's death in battle, determined by the proportion of merit, rewarding 75 points for whitewashing, please continue to work hard].
The sound of this peace-reporting-like beep caused Xue Yao's taut nerves to instantly slacken.
The Prince survived!
Sure enough!
Because he had not been abolished, he held the power of the army, and with so many soldiers and horses, the crown prince must have "stolen" the emperor back unharmed!
Not bad for his love child!
Before Xue Yao could finish being happy, he heard another system beep: [Level 1 Hidden Mission achieved, additional 999 free draws rewarded, 3 times 1 in 100,000 chance of winning a special item given away].
Xue Yao froze.
A hidden mission?
Reversing the ending of the Prince's death in battle is actually a hidden mission?
He was not in the mood to think about what strange rewards he had gotten at the moment, and all he could think about was that since the Crown Prince was fine, his own five cubs should be able to come back with all their whiskers intact as well.
I just don't know if the Emperor will survive this life.
Xue Yao suspected that the emperor in the original story had died of tetanus, and if he could bring the emperor back from the front lines, he would have to find a way to personally treat the emperor with an antitoxin.
The Crown Prince is currently on shaky ground and cannot afford to lose the Emperor's blessing.
The original mentioned, the emperor actually wants to use the Tong family army swept away the Japanese pirates, and so on the sea commerce unhindered, in cutting the Tong family wings, step by step to cut down their power in the dynasty, but unfortunately not yet to this step, the first death of the first.
In this life, at least let the Emperor live until after the completion of the program.
Moreover, although this emperor was philandering and thin-skinned and good-for-nothing, he wasn't useless, and there was nothing wrong with being a particular asshole, and he was also relatively hardworking and somewhat responsible to his son.
Moreover, he was extremely fond of Consort Shi, without him, I'm afraid that the Seventh Prince's position in the harem would follow suit.
For many reasons, Xue Yao did not want the Emperor to die so early.
A day later, the first group of emergency retreating personal guards escorted a wagon to the North Drainage Row.
The Emperor was sent back, and so were the Third and Fourth Emperors.
The Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince were nowhere to be seen.
Xue Yao was a bit worried, but thinking that the quests to reverse the Crown Prince's fate were prompted to be completed, so there shouldn't be any changes, he persuaded himself to settle down, and first tried to find a way to blend into the pile of eunuchs and treat the Emperor's injuries.
Because he was prepared to treat tetanus before he came, Xue Yao not only prepared all the potions, but also asked the artisan to build a wooden syringe, depending on whether the emperor could accept his maverick medical skills or not.
Because of Ping Rong County's reputation for controlling epidemics and curing diseases, Xue Yao felt that it shouldn't be too difficult for him to request to join the healing team, after all, among the military doctors accompanying him this time, there were Imperial Physicians who knew him, and he had long been blown up as a miracle healer at the Imperial Hospital.
After all, it was a human-sized microscope that could see bacteria, and the old eunuch hadn't bragged much about Xue Yao's special abilities when he returned to the palace.
Yet he still underestimated how hard things would be.
At first, his participation in the military doctors' consultation was welcomed, but when he proposed his special "medicinal juice", which needed to be injected into the emperor's body with a strange tool, the military doctors present all turned white with fear.
After half a century of silence in the tent, Xue Yao finally realized that the patient he was now dealing with was the emperor, and that these military doctors simply didn't have the guts to play tricks on the emperor.
When he was in Ping Rong County, the other eunuchs did not support his practice, he could speak with the factual effects without any concern, but not now, he did not have the qualification to practice medicine, it was impossible to experiment with that emperor's body, and it was necessary for someone in this group of eunuchs to inject the antitoxin according to his request.
No medic would dare do that.
If the Prince was there, he could get him to approve his special treatment.
But now the one responsible for taking care of the Emperor was the Third Prince, and to seek reasoning with the Third Prince was simply asking for death.
The Third Prince refused to even tell the Sixth and Seventh Princes what had happened and the whereabouts of their elder and fifth brothers.
Helpless, Xue Yao could only wait and wait to see if the Crown Prince would return tomorrow.
Three days later, the Qi army had all returned to the line.
The Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince still hadn't returned.
And the Sixth Prince had already learned from the general the terrible news of the heavens--
The Emperor was captured alive after being ambushed, and the Fifth Prince became a hostage of the Khitan in place of the Emperor.
Crown Prince's whereabouts are unknown. Before the fifth prince crossed the river, he said that the crown prince had received a secret order from the emperor to cross the river to help, but now he has not heard anything.
The Capitol suspects that the Crown Prince has also been captured by the Khitan, and will have to wait for the hostage exchange negotiations to find out the details.
The news was nothing less than a thunderbolt.
How could the Prince be captured by the Khitans?
Xue Yao was puzzled, the Fifth Prince's voluntary substitution of the Emperor as a hostage had been confirmed, but the disappearance of the Crown Prince was strange.
In any case, this current state of affairs made it all the more impossible for the Emperor to die.
One-fifth of the military power was in the hands of Tong Fei's brother, Tong Ningzhao, and three-fifths of the military power belonging to the Emperor was now being led by the Third Prince on his behalf, and one-fifth of the spare army in the hands of the Crown Prince had also been handed over to the Third Prince, as he was the oldest prince in the camp at the moment.
Nowadays, the entire Western Conquest Army belonged to Consort Tong's family and Consort Tong's son, and if the Emperor were to die, Xue Yao didn't dare to imagine what would happen.
*
The Emperor was recuperating in his royal tent, and the arrow wound did not hurt much, but he suffered from difficulty in swallowing and spasms in his cheeks.
Though his mind had drifted into a daze, he had fought in wars before and knew that wounded soldiers with symptoms like his own would basically die soon.
The only person on the collapsed side was a third son who cried from morning till night.
The cries became the Emperor's lullaby, and every time he struggled to wake up and try to say something serious, the cries would soon send him off to meet the Lord of the Week again.
Maybe it was just that his body couldn't support himself enough to fall asleep, but it was times like these when the proud emperor, who had been proud all his life, needed a reason to cover up the fact that he was weak and frail, and just rely on his son's cries.
I don't know how many times I woke up to be fed medicine, but the Emperor strained to raise his hand to push away the spoon and said in a low voice, "Jinan come."
The third prince immediately came forward and cried, "Big brother was ordered to cross the river to rush to help, and now he doesn't know where he is, and I'm afraid he has fallen into the hands of the Khitan dog thieves!"
After saying this, he did not care about the emperor's mood, and cried like a mourner and fell down on the side of the collapse.
This bad news made the emperor's heart jump a few times, and only after a long time did he stabilize his breath with all his might and speak in a low voice: "Call your brothers."
The Third Prince's cries choked for a moment, and a hint of displeasure flashed through his weeping and swollen eyes.
For several days in a row, he used every means to prohibit other people from visiting his father, he did all the drama of a filial son, just waiting for his father to learn that his elder brother was killed, to pass the "heavy responsibility" into his hands.
The emperor with half a foot in the coffin asked to see his other sons at this moment, which naturally brought a sense of crisis to the third prince.
For a moment, he wanted to lie to his dying father and say that his brothers had been captured by the Khitans, but quickly calmed down.
Uncle has told him privately, the current situation, the emperor died, the second prince will certainly obediently "give way", even if not, can only be a puppet.
Can get the emperor's name to establish the reserves, is the best, can not also do not matter, go along with the emperor's intention to make him feel at ease to close his eyes is good.
As long as the power is in the hands of the world sooner or later is his Lu Chongshan, there is no need to toss out a key time to deceive the king of the crime of unfiliality, in case the father overcame, he can not end.
The third prince wiped his tears while secretly self-consoling, but still didn't want to easily let his brothers see their father, so he choked and urged his father to recuperate.
The weak and frail emperor suddenly opened his eyes and looked at his son, his eyes were the eyes of an emperor in shock and anger.
It was that feeling of being stared at by a fierce tiger, the back of the third prince's spine tingled for a while, in a trance he thought that his father had become his usual thunderous father again, without saying a word he bowed his head in fear and turned around to send someone to call his younger brothers into the camp tent.
The author has something to say:
To a couple of angry readers.
Every time I wrote a scene between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, there was a tirade of dislike, so I just skipped the padding and wrote it off.
Even the last chapter brought up the crown princess being critically ill, and it was only a few words, and there were people calling the crown princess disgusting and useless for not wanting to read the bg.
Prince read the letter after the psychological process also do not dare to write in detail, for fear of being sprayed to write bg line, however, skipped this episode and some people spray Prince and Prince Consort and not much emotion on the spread of the hands away is collapsed.
The shackled author is broken inside.
If Yao Yao is critically ill, the seven cubs will also immediately fly back, not allowed to write about the Prince s feelings, how do you know how much pain in his heart, if he is not a sentimental person, harboring a false eunuch such a great crime, will not be able to spare the whip because of a word from his brother.
When the crown prince went to see his sick wife, the battle was already settled, the Khitan had only a few tens of thousands of remnants left, and one person in the Qi army could drown the enemy army with a spit.
Secondly, the crown prince is only holding the military talisman, in case of support, can only send generals to cross the river, the emperor ordered not to let the son to cross the river, in this case, he handed over the military talisman to the fifth brother on the battlefield does not have an impact, after all, to go into battle is the generals are not the emperor's son, and he could not God perspective predict the emperor of the second line of supervision of the war will throw himself into the net.
As long as a write encounter difficult twists and turns copy, no matter as God's decision to win a thousand miles hanging villain, there are not happy to see the God's perspective to scold a pass, I was scolded from the copy of the Shu Road, we should have seen that I like to write about the struggles of ordinary people facing difficulties and ordinary greatness, in fact, it seems to be very stimulating, and once in a while to try to change tastes is very fun aca.
I myself like to read the kind of either funny sand sculpture or thrilling exciting text, the protagonist is too omnipotent, the golden finger is too big I can't see it, which I'm afraid also affects my own writing style, if it happens to be not to your liking, then I'm really sorry can't be your favorite.
Style is hard to change, I'll just have to accept the fate of being dumped by you, for the sake of this article has brought you laughter, let's get along, don't hurt each other chapter by chapter ......
Also included is a summary of the loathed plot comments from the opening post to the present: the
"Why is the Sixth Prince in so many scenes? I'm so tired of him."
"Why is the eldest prince in so many scenes like a proper attacker?"
"Can't you just buy a copy of food? I'm here to watch the funny daily routine of raising a baby."
"When is this kindergarten routine going to end? I'm here for the romantic interactions."
"Why does Zhang Si have so many scenes? Can't he just skip them?"
"I don't want to see the Flat Banyan County mission I came to see the Bully Man."
"Is it necessary for the plague description to be so detailed, how can ancient people ancient doctors be so stupid and force their IQs down to stall for time"
"No Crown Princess I don't read bg"
"If I don't write a romantic interaction, I'm going to abandon the text."
"Fighting copies of Copies of Sun Tzu's Art of War Summary and Common Misconceptions are Watered Down"
The above-listed comments, we can certainly find resonance or opposition, everyone's tastes are different, trying to meet the requirements of all people, abridged confinement, but instead will not have any bright spots, see the anger can not accept the fairies might as well tolerate my sand sculpture of the author of the self-sustaining, go to find the text suitable for their own tastes to see
