"They should have run out—Your Highness, although their fire is raging, there is no sign of struggling or extinguishing it. It is obvious that no one is inside the tent."

Mu Qiu leaned on the soft sedan chair, propped up a little bit, looked at the flames for a while, then shook his head lightly: "If I'm not wrong, it's probably Uncle Feng's idea. The army is withdrawing on this snowy night... We don't need to be too nervous, they use this method to dock their tails, which is also a common method on the grassland, but it is just to prevent us from chasing them."

"I remembered, they often use this method to cut off the pursuit of the wolves - it seems that we have indeed caused them a lot of losses in this battle..."

Song Zichen had never beaten the Xiongnu to such a disadvantage in his previous life, but when he was reminded by Mu Qiu at this time, he also remembered this matter, and he let go of his original concern.The wind was still quite cold at this time, rolling snowflakes and smashing them on people's faces. He was worried about Mu Qiu's body, and he didn't want him to be frozen in the cold wind all the time. Let everyone go back quickly: "Okay, okay, just find out what's going on. The snow is getting bigger and bigger, and the fire is not burning soon. Send someone to check tomorrow morning to see if they left what."

"Okay, I like this job."

Meng Da responded eagerly, followed a few people into the room, and couldn't help but probed: "My lord, our battle is over, when will we return to the army? Give me more credit..."

"I originally planned to delay it for two or three months, at least wait until the winter is over before going back. Now it's all over, the fire can be seen from a distance of a hundred miles, and we don't need to put on a show anymore, delay it for ten days For half a month, go back as soon as you finish packing."

Song Zichen felt a headache when he thought of this incident, he couldn't help shaking his head, sighed heavily, and replied helplessly.Carefully helping Mu Qiu back to the couch, he looked at his wound worriedly, and opened his eyes wide in surprise: "This medicine really works, and it didn't last a night, but it has already healed for a whole day." The layers are scabbed..."

"The pain of this medicine is pain, and it is also useful in theory."

Mu Qiu couldn't help chuckling, nodded seriously, and replied in a gentle voice.Song Zichen helped him to rest on the couch, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Is the wound still hurting now? I think your complexion is better than signing the first one. Let's rest for a while. I will go out to discuss with them tomorrow. arrange to go."

"Your Highness, don't stay up too late. If you wait a little longer, I'm afraid it will be dawn."

Mu Qiu nodded lightly, and gave another gentle instruction.Song Zichen nodded with a smile, regardless of the fact that there were still two guys standing in the way, carefully tucked the quilt up for Mu Qiu, and then kissed him on the forehead: "Go to sleep, I've finished discussing with them." Just come back, neither of us got up early today..."

"My lord, you can't be so lazy. Mu Canjun was injured. If you said you were injured, you would just rest. But you are fine and everything is fine. Why are you—— "

Meng Da couldn't help complaining first, but before he could finish, he was kicked by Peng Feigui on the buttocks: "You still think that the two of us don't have enough work, do you want to work more?"

"No, no, no - I was talking too much, I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything..."

Meng Daxian suddenly reacted, waved his hands hastily, and denied what he said just now.Song Zichen couldn't help chuckling, winked outside, led the two of them out, and carefully closed the door of the room: "Mu Qiu's current injury can't travel far, and I'll delay everything I say." Months, and then go back after his injuries are fully healed. Do you two have any ideas, can you ask us to go back later, so that we won’t be impeached when we turn around?"

"Well……"

Peng Feigui rested his chin and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and looked at him meaningfully: "My words may be a bit inappropriate, but from the perspective of the relationship between the prince and Mu Qiu, the prince's worry is nothing more than delaying the return date for the sake of joining the army. , will it be true that this kind of thing..."

"Although it sounds like I want to beat you up, it's almost the same thing, that's what you said."

Song Zichen glared at him angrily, but still had to nod his head, and replied helplessly.Peng Feigui didn't take it seriously, nodded slightly, and looked up at him again: "So——if the general is injured and we delay our return date, won't it be impossible to talk about it?"

"You mean—let me pretend to be hurt?"

Song Zichen couldn't help being slightly startled, he paused for a moment before he suddenly came to his senses, his eyes widened in surprise: "However, how many people were watching our situation at that time, how could it be said that I was injured because I was injured?"

"Did anyone see clearly at that time?"

Peng Feigui raised his eyebrows slightly, asked a straightforward question, and pouted at the sky outside: "With the weather like this, the snowy weather, and the suddenness of the incident, I couldn't even see it clearly. Let's say that the prince was also injured at the time, but he just held back to prevent the army's morale from being disturbed, so what's wrong?"

"That's right, that's a good idea—it just so happened that the Huns withdrew their troops tonight, and we have no more threats, so we will release the news early tomorrow morning. It must be well-founded, and no one can refute it."

Meng Da nodded quickly, and added seriously: "Your Highness, as long as you hide here for half a month, you can come out when Mu Canjun's injury recovers, and everything will be fine?"

"Everything is going well, what kind of bad idea did you two come up with? If the emperor wants to check my injuries when I go back, how can I show him? It was originally a delayed return date. Do you want me to make it into a bully?" Your Majesty?"

Song Zichen glared at the two men angrily, seeing the embarrassing expressions of the two of them, he was discouraged, shook his head helplessly and said with a chuckle: "Okay, I'm not saying that your idea is not good—I Naturally I know this is a good way. But firstly, I am afraid that I will not be able to explain it when I go back, and secondly, Mu Qiu told me before that there are hidden guards guarding me, but I have not noticed it myself. If there are no hidden guards Well, I can naturally pretend to shoot myself with an arrow, so that I can show my father how distressed I am when I go back, and I can also have a good reason to stay here for a while, but the problem is-if I really do this, maybe we Before I go back, the memorial to impeach me for bullying the emperor has already been placed on the table of the emperor..."

"Your Highness is indeed right, it's because our thinking is too simple."

Peng Feigui shook his head with a wry smile, and replied helplessly. After pondering for a moment, he said again: "Then——what if His Highness tells the truth? Since according to His Highness, there are indeed hidden guards of the Emperor hidden in this army, then It is impossible for the third prince to hide the fact that the third prince planted spies to hurt people. The third prince has already tossed this way to this point, and His Highness is also a dignified prince. Does it mean that he has no right to return to the army? Where are you?"

"I--"

Song Zichen was at a loss for words, paused for a moment before suddenly smiled wryly, and shook his head helplessly: "To tell you the truth, I really don't know——I have always followed orders, and I have never dealt with myself..."

"Your Highness has always been too obedient. My father always said that only children who can cry will have milk. Your Highness will never cry, and you will definitely be hungry in the future."

Meng Da couldn't help interjecting, then immediately took two steps back, smiled and waved his hands and said, "I—I'm just talking nonsense, Your Highness, please don't beat me..."

"Lao Meng's words are rough and reasonable, and I understand the truth, but I just don't know how to talk to my father."

Song Zichen didn't get angry, just nodded, and sighed in distress: "Mu Qiu also told me that he wanted me to go back and talk to my father more, but I haven't talked to my father much since I was so old. Next time. Before going out this time, I went to the palace to report about the assassination of the concubine, and I had a forced cry with the old man, and then I threw my son into the palace..."

"If there is one, there will be two. The prince will practice a few more times, and he will gain experience later."

Peng Feigui didn't take it seriously, he just nodded and patted him on the shoulder: "If the prince really trusts us, let's deal with it once, and go back later. If someone uses this to insult the prince after returning to Beijing , Those of us who are generals jointly signed a letter, saying that the heavy snow and slippery roads make it impossible to march, and I don’t believe that we have won such a big victory, and the emperor must punish the prince for such a trivial matter.”

"It makes sense. I'm also added to the letter. I'm in charge of the rear army. How can the food, grass and luggage get on the road with such heavy snow? Even if the road can't be slippery, shouldn't the snow be wet?"

Meng Da first nodded in agreement, and then echoed in a serious manner.Song Zichen couldn't help but smiled wryly, and shook his head helplessly. Just as he was about to speak, the soldiers below suddenly ran over with small steps and offered a kit with both hands: "General, this is the life of a man in black outside. I will give it to you later." The general's - he is holding the royal tiger head card, I dare not disobey..."

"It's true that you can come here whatever you want. It seems that they really sent a letter."

Song Zichen smiled and shook his head, took the kit over, ordered the soldiers to go down and guard it, and shook the kit in his hand with great interest: "You say——what's in here, my father urged me The command arrow to go back?"

"I think it's just the opposite. It should be a reassurance from the emperor to the prince."

Peng Feigui replied firmly, looking at Song Zichen's slightly puzzled gaze, he smiled and shook his head: "Your Highness is indeed underestimating himself - Your Highness's position in the Emperor's heart is actually more important than His Highness thinks many……"
