The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.
Chapter 48 Grassland Raid
Concubine Liu looked at Prince Jin disapprovingly, "Yun Zhuo, don't be so careless. Although the Crown Prince is weak now, he is the crown prince after all. We should not take him lightly. We still need to keep a close eye on him. Don't let us fight with the King of Qi, and let him reap the benefits instead."
The Prince of Jin then became serious, "Don't worry, mother. I understand. I will definitely find out what the Crown Prince's purpose is. And who is Eunuch Gao looking for?"
Concubine Liu nodded, "Okay!"
After Prince Jin left, he immediately sent secret guards to investigate the whereabouts of Eunuch Gao.
Night on the grassland.
The strong wind blew on the grass and trees on the grassland, making a whistling sound.
"My Lord, the Southern Liang Royal Court is ahead. When are we going to start?"
Zhao Zhen said softly: "Don't rush, wait until it gets darker."
"Yes!"
So all the cavalrymen hid themselves and waited for the attack at night.
There were indeed not many people left in the Xianbei royal court. This time, the fourth prince led an army of 100,000 to attack the Shang Dynasty, and there were not many soldiers left on the grassland.
The Emperor of Southern Liang, Murong Zhengqi, reached a cooperation with the upper echelons of the Shang Dynasty. The purpose of this attack on the Shang Dynasty was to consume the Zhenbei Army.
The new emperor of the Shang Dynasty was about to ascend the throne. They promised the Southern Liang Kingdom some benefits. After the war, the Shang Dynasty agreed to marry a princess to the country as a marriage alliance.
They also could not have imagined that the Zhenbei Army would be so bold as to penetrate deep into the Xianbei territory.
The Hu people sang and danced, and after drinking and eating meat, they returned to their tents to rest.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, suddenly there were shouts and screams outside the tent.
The eldest prince Murong Zhuo sat up immediately and said, "Someone, someone, what happened outside?"
The servant who used to come when he was called did not come in at this time.
Murong Zhuo quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the tent.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out, he was hit by an arrow in the neck.
He fell straight down and died.
The Hu people were shocked and shouted, "Prince? Prince?"
The news of the eldest prince's death was immediately reported to Emperor Murong Zhengqi.
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince was shot by an arrow and is dead."
Murong Zhengqi looked at the cavalry that suddenly appeared and shouted, "Retreat, retreat quickly, leave here quickly."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
So the group immediately escorted Murong Zhengqi to retreat.
Zhao Zhen was fighting with the Hu people with a spear in his hand. When he saw someone retreating, he wanted to chase after them immediately.
At this time, Shi Ce stood up and said, "My Lord, we have captured the Prime Minister of the Hu people and the Emperor's uncle Murong Duzheng. We should not stay here for long."
Zhao Zhen nodded, "Okay, give the order, take the hostages and evacuate immediately."
Soon, except for those soldiers who took advantage of the chaos to escape, the remaining Hu soldiers were subdued.
The Zhenbei Army was very excited when they saw the treasures and weapons left in the tent.
Zhao Zhen wanted to leave immediately, but when he saw the soldiers like this, he got angry and said, "Put down everything you can't take with you. We need to leave here as soon as possible."
The soldier looked at the fine shields and said, "My Lord, it would be a pity if you don't take these with you."
Zhao Zhen looked at the sky and said, "Don't bother with these. Take the hostages and leave immediately. Anyone who disobeys orders will be executed!"
The soldiers immediately put down some of their heavy weapons and mounted their horses obediently.
"Master, where are these prisoners?"
Zhao Zhen looked at the barbarians and closed his eyes, "Kill them all!"
"Yes!"
Soon after Zhao Zhen raided the Hu people's lair, he quickly fled south with 600 cavalry.
This time he came here, he was taking a huge risk, and he lost a small half of the 1000 cavalrymen who came with him.
Fortunately, the harvest this time was still great.
When Zhao Zhen fled back to the border of the Shang Dynasty with the hostages, he narrowly escaped death. Along the way, he was also ambushed by other tribes.
After Murong Zhengqi escaped, he went to a nearby tribe and immediately organized people to fight back, hoping to rescue the Prime Minister of Southern Liang.
Fortunately, Marquis Zhenbei sent people to greet them and brought Zhao Zhen and others back to the camp.
Although it took Zhao Zhen less than twenty days to make the round trip, the results were remarkable.
At this time, Zhao Zhen's lips were cracked, his hands were covered with tiny cuts, and his arms and legs were covered with knife wounds.
When Zhenbei Hou saw his eldest son like this, he felt very distressed, "Dalang, thank you for your hard work!"
Zhao Zhen grinned and laughed, "Father, I have fulfilled my mission!"
Zhenbei Hou's eyes were filled with tears, but he held back his tears and said, "Good job!"
"Father, with the hostages, our Zhenbei Army can negotiate with the Hu people."
The Marquis of Zhenbei nodded, "Well, with my uncle Murong in charge, I don't have to worry about Murong Fu not being cautious. I also have the head of the eldest prince Murong Zhuo, which I will hang on the city wall tomorrow, and it will also help to dampen the morale of the Hu people."
The Marquis of Zhenbei looked at the wound on Zhao Zhen's body and said, "Stop talking so much. Let the military doctor treat your wound."
Zhao Zhen was not only in pain from the knife wounds on his body, but also due to fatigue, he fell asleep in his bloody armor.
Soon, the guards took off Zhao Zhen's armor, and the military doctor cleaned Zhao Zhen's wound.
The military doctor originally thought that Zhao Zhen would be awakened by the pain, but he remained unconscious.
It was two days later when Zhao Zhen woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a familiar person, "Cousin, why are you here? You can't come to the military camp."
Song Zhirou smiled gently, "Cousin, don't you see if this is a military camp?"
Zhao Zhen looked around and found that he was not in the tent. "Where is this?"
Seeing Zhao Zhen was about to get up, Song Zhirou hurriedly supported him, "Cousin, this is Suitai City, not a military camp."
"Then why are you here?"
Song Zhirou glanced at Zhao Zhen in a reproachful manner, "My uncle sent a letter to my aunt, saying that you were seriously injured, and asked them to send Xiao Anzi over to take care of you. I was anxious when I heard that, but Xiao Anzi didn't know how to take care of anyone, so I followed him over."
Zhao Zhen frowned, "Suitai City is close to the battlefield, it's still not safe, you shouldn't stay here."
Song Zhirou was not willing to listen to Zhao Zhen. She looked at Zhao Zhen with concern, "Cousin, we have already set up the banquet. I am your concubine. How can I not come to take care of you?"
After Song Zhirou finished speaking, she leaned her head forward, revealing her slender neck.
Zhao Zhen is now so concerned about things on the battlefield that he has no time for any romantic thoughts, not to mention that he also has an injured thigh.
Therefore, Song Zhirou's behavior was completely a waste of effort.
Xiao Anzi just came over with the cooked medicine when he heard Song Zhirou say that he was useless. He curled his lips and said inwardly: Only you can take care of me? You choose this time to seduce the eldest master!
Xiao Anzi was not convinced, and did not give Zhao Zhen and Song Zhirou a chance to be alone. He walked in with the medicine, "Young Master, it's time to take the medicine."
