A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Chapter 378 Sending Han Qingshan back to Ping'an Town

The prince is a gentle, humble and polite man, but he has a fatal weakness, which is that he is too kind and lacks iron-blooded tactics.

Over the years, King Xiaoyao had attacked him openly and covertly, but he had never killed King Xiaoyao.

As the saying goes, "A kind person cannot command an army, and a benevolent person cannot govern a country." The prince's character does not make him a qualified crown prince.

Just like now, he is being held hostage by the enemy. If it were any other noble person in power, he would definitely save his own life at all costs.

However, the prince said righteously that the imperial guards should not bother him and must not open the city gates.

However, the imperial guards dared not joke with the prince's life. In the ancient times with clear class distinctions, the lives of all the imperial guards combined were not as valuable as the prince's life alone.

Finally, the palace gate was opened. The man with the mustache took the prince hostage and stepped into the palace step by step, while the imperial guards followed closely behind, keeping a distance from them.

The man with the mustache came all the way to the door of the imperial study and joined together with more than a hundred people under King Rui.

Then the following situation arose: Concubine Hui held Prince Rui hostage and hid in the imperial study, Prince Xiaoyao's men held the crown prince hostage and stood outside the imperial study, and the imperial guards surrounded Prince Xiaoyao's men in a semicircle.

The reason why the short man stopped the mustache-faced brother from killing the prince was because he got the news that Prince Rui was being held hostage.

Therefore, their purpose of entering the palace was to use the crown prince to exchange for King Rui. Of course, if there was a chance, it would be best to rescue King Rui and then kill the crown prince.

Everyone entered the palace, but no one paid attention to the unconscious Han Qingshan. Han Qingshan's men planned to take him to the imperial physician for a checkup. But then they thought of the chaos in the palace, so they gave up the idea of ​​looking for an imperial physician and simply took him to a clinic on the street.

However, all the clinics on the street were closed. They went to four clinics in a row, and all of them were locked.

In fact, not only the clinics, but most of the shops on the streets of Beijing were closed.

Because what happened in the palace and Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion had long been spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital, the people all hid in their homes, closed the doors and windows and dared not go out.

The officials in the court were also in a state of panic, fearing that they would be affected. Some officials even wanted to pack up and flee the capital!

In desperation, one of Han Qingshan's subordinates suggested: "Let's go out of the city and go to the military camp to find Doctor Liu to check on Deputy Commander Han."

The others thought it was feasible, because Han Qingshan had not woken up, and they were worried about his condition, so they had to let the doctor take a look. And Liu Junyi was also quite proficient in poison techniques.

After the few people agreed, they took Han Qingshan out of the city.

It was only a short time after they left the city that they saw a battle in front of them from afar. It was the battle between Xiaoyao Wang's men and the five thousand men led by Zhang Hu.

Several people stopped immediately. This was the only way for them to get to the military camp, and the fighting ahead was so fierce that they couldn't possibly take the poisoned Han Qingshan with them.

If you want to go around it, you have to climb over two mountains, which is even more unrealistic.

There was no doctor to be found in the city, and they couldn’t go to the military camp now. They were also worried about the poison in Han Qingshan’s body. They really didn’t know what to do!

At this time, another person suggested: "Why don't we go find Deputy Commander Han's fiancée? I heard that Deputy Commander Han's fiancée and General Qingyi, no, the former General Qingyi Shen Qingqian are a family. Shen Qingqian is so capable, he must have a way."

Another person said, "But I heard that Deputy Commander Han's fiancée is no longer in the capital. She went back to Ping'an Town with Shen Qingqian."

"Then let's go to Ping'an Town. No matter what, we have to find a way to rescue Deputy Commander Han first!"

The man who just spoke said this in a decisive tone.

Another person echoed, "That's right! Besides, the situation in the capital is so bad right now, it would be wise for us to leave with Deputy Commander Han."

"Correct!"

After a few people had discussed it, they changed their route and headed towards Ping'an Town.

In the battle ahead, King Xiaoyao and Zhang Hu fought for several rounds, and finally King Xiaoyao pierced Zhang Hu's abdomen with a sword. Zhang Hu fell in a pool of blood, no longer breathing.

"Captain Zhang!"

"Captain Zhang!"

Several people around Zhang Hu shouted in grief.

The secret guard sent by Emperor Qiyuan also saw this scene. He kicked an enemy away with his left leg, and at the same time, he slashed an enemy's neck with the sword in his right hand, and then flew to Zhang Hu's side.

He squatted down and lifted up Zhang Hu's upper body, took out a pill from his arms and stuffed it into Zhang Hu's mouth. Unfortunately, Zhang Hu had already lost his vital signs, and no matter how good the panacea was, he couldn't swallow it!

The pill and blood slipped out of his mouth, and Zhang Hu's arm also slipped down.

"Captain Zhang!"

Even though they have no emotions as secret guards, especially those around the emperor, they can be said to be tools, and they are not serious when killing people or facing killing.

But at this moment, for some reason, when he saw Zhang Hu dead, he felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart.

The secret guards knew that this army was entangled by King Xiaoyao's troops and could not escape for the time being. If this continued, the emperor would be in danger!

Now that Zhang Hu is dead, the soldiers will surely lose morale and will easily be defeated by the enemy.

So the secret guard decided to go back to the barracks and get some reinforcements with Yang Zhi. They would fight a quick battle with more people against fewer.

Thinking of this, the secret guard did not fight with the opponent again, but used light skills to fly towards the direction of the military camp.

The soldiers were already somewhat panicked by Zhang Hu's death, and when they saw the secret guard flying away, they thought he was planning to escape.

Many soldiers then began to run back. If some of them took the lead, more people would follow them and run back.

King Xiaoyao laughed loudly as he watched these people flee. But he did not chase them, because his goal was the capital. He was going to capture the capital today!

King Xiaoyao gave an order and all his subordinates followed him towards the city gate.

Shen Qingqian didn't know what was happening in the capital. The potatoes and sweet potatoes she planted on Qingshi Mountain were growing well. She weeded the fields a few days ago, and the weeds she weeded were piled up in dozens of piles.

Shen Qingqian felt that it would be a waste not to utilize so much grass, so she asked Shen Qingfeng to take people to the northern border to buy hundreds of cattle and sheep.

The Northern Territory borders the Northern Rong. When Shen Qingqian went there before, he discovered that many villages there raised cattle and sheep, and there were also many large and small ranches.

The cows are bought to plow the fields. Shen Qingqian has so much land, and the efficiency of manual farming alone is definitely not high. With cows, farming will be twice the result with half the effort.

Sheep are used for breeding. There is so much grass dug out from the land. Plus, the hill is so big that, except for the part that has been reclaimed for planting potatoes and sweet potatoes, the rest of the land is basically all grass, making it the perfect place for raising sheep.
