Chapter 260 Return to Beijing
"They definitely couldn't imagine why Xiao Yu suddenly became so powerful in Kung Fu."
Jixiang looked at Xiao Yu happily.
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Thanks to the Crown Princess's clever plan."
Su Qingqing had embedded barbed nails in the soles of Xiao Yu's shoes, and the nails were coated with anesthetic.
As long as the nail pierces the prince of Rong'an Marquis's Mansion, the anesthetic will immediately enter his blood, and no matter how powerful the prince is, he will not be able to struggle.
Then, all Xiao Yu had to do was to escape desperately.
That alley was one they had arranged in advance, with many obstacles set up and horses prepared on the outermost side.
It was not difficult for Xiao Yu to escape.
Everything was settled, and the group went straight back to Datong.
After returning, Su Qingqing wrote a letter to Qin Wanru. The last time Qin Wanru wrote to her, she left a reply address for Su Qingqing. This time, Minghe personally returned to Kyoto with the reply letter.
All that remains to be done then is to wait.
Qin Wanru will use her connections in Kyoto to make Marquis Rong'an mistakenly believe that the Crown Prince was captured by Kyoto.
Marquis Rong'an is concerned about the Crown Prince and will surely be unable to sit still.
The fire that Su Qingqing and her companions set in Qianzhou accelerated Marquis Rong'an's impatience.
In order to find the crown prince, Marquis Rong'an launched a massive search in Qianzhou, and an uprising broke out in Qianzhou, where the people were already filled with resentment.
Countless people spontaneously formed an uprising army and demanded that Marquis Rong'an give them an explanation.
Taking these two conditions into consideration, Marquis Rong'an could no longer stay in Qianzhou.
He had no choice.
The 20,000 soldiers and horses must have food and water.
What's more, he has been eyeing the fat meat in the Xishan camp for a long time.
finally.
Half a month later, the news spread that Marquis Rong'an led his troops to invade Kyoto.
Kyoto.
The Imperial Palace.
The Queen Mother was so angry that she smashed a teacup.
The Duke of Zhenguo's face turned pale, and the current commander of the Xishan camp was trembling with fear.
The 20,000 troops of Marquis Rong'an are about to arrive at Fengtai.
The only troops and horses that Kyoto could provide were those under the command of the Duke of Zhenguo; troops and horses from other places would not obey orders.
"They are rebelling, they are really rebelling. They are receiving military pay and salaries from the court, yet they refuse to obey orders. Rong'an Hou is rebelling, committing crimes against his superiors. I am issuing orders on behalf of the king, yet they dare to shirk their responsibilities!"
The Queen Mother was almost mad with anger.
The Duke of Zhenguo had a sullen face and said, "At this point, we can only rely on my troops to fight. Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely not let the Marquis of Rong'an come in to attack us."
The Queen Mother shook her head.
"Your troops can certainly stop Marquis Rong'an, but what about after that? Marquis Rong'an was stopped, but what about King Yu? What about Rong Que? Which one of them is not staring at us like a wolf or a tiger?
Once our troops are gone, Kyoto will be as easy as taking candy from a sack for them.
No, not a single one of our soldiers can move!"
The newly appointed commander of the Xishan Camp wiped his sweat and said, "Then...then...I will lead the Xishan Camp to resist. I...I will definitely..."
The Queen Mother didn't want to listen to his stammering loyalty, so she waved her hand in annoyance, "Your people will go there to sharpen the knives for Marquis Rong'an."
The Duke of Zhenguo knew what the Queen Mother meant, and at this point, he really had no choice.
Marquis Rong'an is coming with great force, and troops from other places are refusing to obey orders. The world is in chaos now, and everyone wants to get a piece of the pie.
"My queen, I'm afraid the prince won't agree!" The Duke of Zhenguo expressed his worries. "The prince is not stupid, and he has Su Qingqing by his side. We used to think that Su Qingqing was the princess of Zhao State, but now... she is Su Qingqing. How did she die on the battlefield? How could she be willing to be a shield for us now that she is alive?"
The Duke of Zhenguo is telling the truth.
The Queen Mother shook her head. "Whether he is willing or not depends on the conditions you offer him."
Rong Que is the real prince, but for the sake of King Yu, he bears the reputation of being a traitor.
"If I am willing to clear his name, do you think he would be willing?"
The Duke of Zhenguo shook his head, "Su Qingqing is arrogant. The Crown Prince loves Su Qingqing and may not be willing. It's just a name correction. After he comes back, he can no longer be the Crown Prince, and he has no chance of the throne. Why should he come back? He might as well watch the show outside. If I were him, I would definitely not come back. He has more opportunities outside."
The Queen Mother laughed, "But don't forget, we have leverage to threaten them in Kyoto. The girls from the Broken Red Tower are still here. They are willing to sacrifice their lives for Su Qingqing. Tell me, if I take their lives as a bet, will Su Qingqing come back? She cherishes her reputation so much, will she willingly be known as a cold-blooded person?"
The Duke of Zhenguo was not optimistic, but at this point, he had no choice but to give it a try.
The Queen Mother wrote the letter herself, promising Rong Que many benefits, and had it sent out at full speed.
On the day they received the letter, Rong Que and Su Qingqing led their troops straight to Kyoto.
Marquis Rong'an is heading towards Huludao and is about to rush to Kyoto from Fengtai. The Duke of Zhenguo has dispatched a part of his personal soldiers and the entire Xishan camp to stop him. They only want to preserve their strength and delay time to wait for Rongque's troops.
The Duke of Zhenguo never expected that it was just a group of bitches from Shattered Red Mansion that would make Su Qingqing come back to rescue them at all costs.
After arriving in Kyoto with his troops, Rong Que stationed his troops in Miyun, while Su Qingqing led 5,000 troops to bypass Fengtai and go straight to Rong'an Hou.
When the news reached the palace, the Queen Mother and the Duke of Zhenguo were both shocked.
"With five thousand soldiers and horses, what does she want to do? No matter how powerful she is, she wants to wipe out the twenty thousand cavalrymen of Rong'an Marquis with only five thousand soldiers and horses. Is she crazy ?"
The Queen Mother's face was ashen, and her hair was surrounded by jewels and jade, but her expression could not hide her fatigue and fear.
After all, the Duke of Zhenguo was a man who had come from the battlefield. At this moment, he was much calmer than the Queen Mother. "The Crown Prince is reserving his strength to compete with us."
The queen mother's eyes were filled with venom. "Go, inform those people in the West Mountain camp and tell them to be smart. I don't want anyone alive to see this battle."
If Su Qingqing could really wipe out the 20,000 troops that Rong'an Hou had been planning for a long time with only 5,000 soldiers, then...
No matter how Su Qingqing died on the battlefield, she can still be abandoned in the same way now.
Fengtai battlefield.
Su Qingqing's arrival shocked Rong'an Hou, but he immediately understood why the prince came back.
The Queen Mother thought she had played a good game, but she ended up destroying the bridge after crossing it. Unfortunately...
Let the wolf into the house.
Five thousand soldiers arrived at Fengtai and charged straight ahead without even stopping for a quarter of an hour's rest.
These troops were all carefully trained by Rong Que. Now that they knew the true identity of the person leading them, they were all excited and shouting as if they had drunk chicken blood.
Rong'an Marquis had no siege city to defend, and even the trenches were only dug towards the troops of the West Mountain Camp...
With one attack, Su Qingqing and Wang Yu took the lead in tearing a hole in Rong'an Hou's troops.
When a wolf that has been hungry for a long time suddenly sees food, how can it not get excited and bite it?
Not to mention the soldiers who were holding back their energy, even Jixiang rolled up his sleeves and started working.
While they were fighting in the front, Su Qingqing left a thousand men in the back to quickly dig trenches and build high walls.
A high wall doesn't have to be strong, it just needs to be high up.
Once the high walls were built and the trenches were dug, there would be no need for fighting with weapons, only archers would need to draw their bows and shoot arrows.
The group of archers that Su Qingqing raised in Datong were waiting to go into battle .
