Nan Li's thorny words made Nan Shi's face turn pale for a while, and he felt ashamed.

"Father, think carefully about what you should do."

After leaving these words indifferently, Nan Li turned and left directly.

As an emperor, he was actually trained like this by his own son.

Nan Shi looked bitter.

This is what he deserves.

He was wrong, he was really wrong, he was wrong from the beginning.

……

There are too many accompanying soldiers and horses, and it is not easy to hurry.

Therefore, Chu Baihan asked Wuming to come with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses behind, and she and Yan Lin rushed to Tongzhou first.

On the road.

The cold wind made Chu Baihan's cheeks ache.

Along the way, several of her horses ran down.

Yan Lin is always by her side.

He looked at her with pity.

She actually took care of Xichu's mess.

He couldn't imagine how she had come here for so many years.

"Afraid?"

Sensing his gaze, Chu Baihan turned his head and asked him these two words.

The wind was so strong that her voice disappeared as soon as it blew.

Yan Lin couldn't hear clearly at all.

But he could clearly see her bright eyes and slightly moving mouth.

He can probably guess what she asked.

He shook his head quickly.

She is not afraid, so how could he be afraid?

Seeing him shaking his head, Chu Baihan quickly smiled.

In an instant, the surrounding scenery dimmed.

Yan Lin looked at her deeply.

The stubborn and cold little face became brighter because of the smile.

The wind brushed her hair and touched her cheek, as if at this moment, the wind became gentle.

At this moment, Yan Lin's heart collapsed terribly.

No matter what happened before, from now on, he will be the one who stands by her side and fights side by side with her.

Because they only brought a dozen entourages with them, they arrived in Tongzhou in less than two days.

Flying pigeons passed letters faster, and before they arrived, the same state received the news that they were coming.

When Chu Baihan arrived at the city gate of Tongzhou, Zhu Liqun, the prefect of Tongzhou, immediately brought people out to greet him.

"The governor of the same state, Zhu Liqun, has met the eldest princess."

A thin man immediately came forward to salute.

"I wish the prefect don't need to be too polite."

Chu Baihan spoke softly, and then quickly got off the horse.

When she got off the horse, her movements were neat and neat, and the hem of her skirt swept across like flowers blooming.

Many people present were stunned for a moment.

It turned out that this was their eldest princess.

Because the wars in Nanduan country are always in the west and north, Chu Baihan has never been to the east.

After all, this was the first time they saw her.

Realizing that the followers behind him lost their composure, Zhu Liqun coughed heavily.

Those people reacted and hurriedly saluted.

"Get up, the war is urgent, don't care about these details. Master Zhu, come and talk to this princess about the situation in Tongzhou."

Chu Baihan walked quickly to the city, and she casually threw the sword she was carrying with her to Yan Lin.

Nan Xing was left in the capital by her, and Ruolan was sent by her to handle errands.

Wuji and Wuming were not with her either, and Yan Linlai could only do such trivial things as helping her receive the sword.

Being treated as a servant by her, a certain Lord Lin was not angry at all, on the contrary, he was secretly happy.

After all, Han'er can get along with him so easily only if she really cares about him.

Seeing Yan Lin catch Chu Baihan's sword, everyone regarded him as her follower.

Although this follower's face is a bit too handsome.

Zhu Liqun quickly followed Chu Baihan's footsteps, and he said anxiously: "Reporting to the Eldest Princess, Linzhou, Pingzhou, and Xiangzhou fell, and most of the soldiers and people were captured without realizing it. Some retreated to the same state. Now the officials are trying to find a way to resettle them."

"A preliminary estimate, how many hostages are there in these three cities?" Chu Baihan paused slightly, and asked in a cold tone.

"Reporting to the eldest princess, there are at least... 6 people."

Zhu Liqun opened his mouth with difficulty.

6 people?
Chu Baihan's temples hurt.

This situation is more serious than she imagined.

The most feared thing in war is that the other party has taken hostages.

But this time, the other party held nearly [-] hostages.

No matter how they fight, they have no chance of winning.

"How many enemy troops are there?" Chu Baihan continued to ask.

"They are stationed ten miles away, and there are about [-] troops."

One hundred thousand?

When Chu Baihan heard this number, his expression was not very good.

"Princess, we have tens of thousands of soldiers in the same state. If the imperial court sends more troops, our soldiers will definitely be more than [-]. Don't be afraid."

Seeing Chu Baihan's ugly face, Zhu Liqun hurriedly comforted him.

But hearing what he said, Chu Baihan's face didn't change for the better, but became colder.

"I wish you prefect. First of all, a large number of people does not mean that you will definitely win a war. Also, do you really think...the two countries joined forces and only brought one hundred thousand soldiers?"

Chu Baihan glanced at him, then quietly asked this question.

Zhu Liqun's heart sank.

Princess, what does this mean?
Chu Baihan didn't intend to explain to him, she glanced at the street.

The bustling streets in the past are now in chaos.

Countless people were sitting on the ground, looking embarrassed, with dull eyes.

"Reporting to the eldest princess, these are the people who escaped from the three fallen cities. Because the houses in the city are limited, we can only arrange them on the street first."

While Zhu Liqun was explaining, he carefully observed Chu Baihan's expression.

Still not happy to see her, he quickly added: "The lower officials have already ordered people to build a shed, and they will be moved there soon."

Chu Baihan glanced at him, but did not answer.

Immediately afterwards, she cast her gaze on Yan Lin, and asked, "What do you think?"

"Now, immediately gather half of the soldiers and horses, and register all the people in the city, whether they are from the same state or from the other three states. If you find suspicious people, immediately arrest them." Yan Lin ordered coldly.

"Here, the enemy army outside is watching. We don't have enough soldiers and horses. Isn't it a waste of troops to ask half of the soldiers to check the identities of the people? Besides, these people are almost scared to death. Dongli Kingdom Those ruthless savages killed their relatives in front of them, and they probably don't want to talk now."

Zhu Liqun immediately denied Yan Lin's practice.

If this proposal was made by the eldest princess, he would definitely support it.

But who is this man? He is so brave that he wants to command half of the soldiers in the same state.

"His words are the princess' orders, Zhu Zhifu, do you have any opinions?"

Chu Baihan's tone turned cold.

Zhu Liqun's expression froze, and he quickly changed his words: "Eldest Princess, I naturally have no objections. It's just that this idea is a bit immature, do you want to..."

"Just do as he said." Chu Baihan said quietly, and then turned to look at the situation in the city.
