"Your Highness, do you want to avoid this slave?"

Seeing that other people had left under Qian Chunqiang's signal, Gu Qing'er asked softly.

"No, Qing'er, you are so well-behaved, how could Gu be willing to do so?"

Li Chengqian put his arms around Gu Qing'er's slender waist, pulled her into his arms, took a sip on her face, and then teased.

When I came here, I was ready to give up my dignity, but when I got to this point, Haitang Duoduo found that she still couldn't do it.

"My concubine Haitang Duoduo, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness Prince Qing..."

After saying this, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength.

Calling herself a lowly concubine, she looks a bit begging, but Li Chengqian didn't intend to let her go so easily.

"Didn't you leave? Since you don't want to be a lonely concubine, what are you doing back?"

"Dodo has something to ask."

"Is there anything you want to ask for? What is your identity? A saint of the Northern Qi Dynasty?"

Li Chengqian said noncommittal.

"The concubine is willing to be His Highness's woman, and please His Highness let the 8 soldiers of Qi Kingdom survive."

Haitang Duoduo knelt down on the ground, begged Li Chengqian after paying a big gift.

In the battle that night, except for Uesugi Tiger who successfully broke through with a small number of cavalry, the other Northern Qi soldiers became prisoners of Nanqing, and the number was [-].

"Humph"

Li Chengqian pushed Gu Qing'er away from his arms, got up and walked towards Begonia Blossoming.

"Are you negotiating conditions with Gu? 8 soldiers will be your selling money, Haitang Duoduo, you think too highly of yourself, don't you?"

Compared with Fan Xian who integrated into the current society without forgetting his identity as a modern person; Li Chengqian is much more thorough.

Now, the morality and values ​​of the previous life can no longer constrain his behavior.

"Your Highness, Haitang only asks you to give them a way out."

Nanqing's food and grass are more than enough for its own soldiers, but it is too short to bring the 8 soldiers of Northern Qi.

It was impossible to let them go and let them fend for themselves, so the idea of ​​killing prisoners came into being.

"It's not impossible to survive. As the saint of the Northern Qi Dynasty, you help me persuade the stubborn forces that are still resisting around Yecheng."

Li Chengqian put forward his conditions.

"Your Highness..."

"Why, can't you?

Qing'er's father can also help the orphan to appease the people of Yecheng. If you can't do this, why should you be an orphan?

It's not a lonely woman, why do you let the lonely give them a way out. "

Li Chengqian said unceremoniously that he not only wanted the recalcitrants to surrender, but also cut off Haitang Duoduo's retreat.

"If you can't do it, forget it. I don't value these things very much. It's just a waste of life."

"Your Highness, Haitang can..."

Li Chengqian's tone of indifference to human life forced Haitang Duoduo to make a decision.

"You just left?"

When Haitang Duoduo got up and was about to leave, Li Chengqian stopped her again.

"Your Highness..."

"I was very dissatisfied with your performance last time. It just so happens that Qing'er is here today. Let her teach you what it means to be a bed attendant."

Hearing that there is a priority in teaching, and there is a specialization in art, Li Chengqian took advantage of the situation and arranged for Haitang Duoduo to be a teacher.

"Good news, good news from the front line"

Yiqi Juechen, eight hundred miles in a hurry, the battle report from the front line was sent to the imperial capital.

Xingqing Palace

"My lord, there is good news from the front line."

Eunuch Hou came to announce the good news to Emperor Qing with a smile.

"Oh, there is good news so soon, I will show it to you."

Knowing Xu Shijie's character, if it wasn't for Dasheng, he wouldn't be so serious about it.

"Okay, this kid really has a bit of my demeanor back then..."

After only watching the beginning, Emperor Qing applauded.

"What's wrong, my lord?"

Eunuch Hou is very good at this.

"The crown prince made a surprise attack on Wuchao and burned all the food and grass of the Qi army. Xu Shijie went down in the first battle and captured 8 people from the Qi army. We celebrated the victory of this national war..."

Emperor Qing had always been happy and angry, but Eunuch Hou hadn't seen this kind of situation for more than ten years.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, this servant congratulates you on the National Day..."

"Hmph, that's not the end yet; Xu Shijie also said that they are going to attack Yecheng. Based on my understanding of him, I'm not fully sure. He won't write this in the victory report. Maybe Yecheng has fallen now."

After reading the good news, Emperor Qing was even more proud.

"Yecheng is an important town in the Northern Qi Dynasty. Once you pass Yecheng, you can pass through Jiaoguan, Changchun Pass, and Wuguan and you will be able to approach the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Marshal Xu is going to make a contribution to destroying the country."

Eunuch Hou continued to flatter Tao.

"It's not enough to destroy the country. Although there are only these three major passes from Yecheng to Shangjing, the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the strategic depth in the middle is more than a thousand miles."

Complacent but not forgetful, it is not unreasonable for Emperor Qing to be the winner all these years.

"The icing on the cake, this slave has a piece of good news to congratulate His Majesty..."

"Oh, what good news, is it worth telling me now, you dog slave?"

Emperor Qing scolded with a smile.

"Returning to the Holy One, this servant just got the news that the imperial physician of the Eastern Palace checked the princess's pulse yesterday, and found out the happy pulse."

"Oh, is this news true?"

Just thinking about how to transfer Li Chengqian back, suffering from no good reason, Emperor Qing frowned when he heard the news.

"How dare a slave make fun of such a thing."

Eunuch Hou quickly promised.

"That's it, then pass on my will to the prince, saying that the princess is happy, and let him return to Beijing as soon as possible."

Others are afraid that their friends will suffer, and they are also afraid that their friends will drive away. Emperor Qing is not, because he has no friends; but he also has his own fears.

He was afraid that his son would be a coward, and he was also afraid that his son would be as fierce as a tiger. He transferred Li Chengqian back to the capital at this moment because he was afraid that he would not lose his head.

.........

Fanfu

Fan Jian and Liu Ruyu also got the news that Fan Ruoruo was happy, and told Fan Xian the news.

"What, Ruoruo has it?"

Fan Xian didn't show much joy.

"Yes, Ruoruo is indeed a blessed one. If she can give birth to a baby boy this time, she will be the grandson of the emperor."

Liu Ruyu was sincerely happy for her daughter, and also happy for the prosperity and wealth of the Fan family in the next few decades.

"Why, you seem a little unhappy?"

Fan Jian frowned and said, he thought it was because Fan Xian still had a grudge against the prince.

"Father, if you give birth at this age, there will be no danger, right?"

Fan Xian expressed his worries.

"What's the matter? I was one year younger than Ruoruo when I gave birth to Sizhe."

Liu Ruyu said unceremoniously, she felt that Fan Xian was a little out of touch.

Chapter 241 The Return

Yecheng

Unlike Li Chengqian who lived in the prefect's mansion, Xu Shijie, the commander of the three armies, has never left the barracks.

"Okay, good plan, as expected of His Royal Highness..."

Xu Shijie looked at the letter sent by Li Chengqian and clapped his hands.

"What's the matter, father?"

Hearing the movement in the tent, Xu Qing walked in.

"Because my father is worried about how to deal with these soldiers from the Northern Qi Dynasty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave me a good idea, take a look."

Xu Shijie handed the letter to Xu Qing, also meant to teach him.

"Release [-] soldiers, cut off the tendons in their right hand and left foot, and then give them three days of rations; well, it really is a clever plan."

Having been taught by Xu Shijie's precepts and deeds since childhood, Xu Qing also saw the beauty of this strategy.

The unknown killing of prisoners not only ruins the reputation, but also is not conducive to taking over and comforting the people in Yecheng; if you don't kill yourself, you don't have so much military food to support these soldiers. Just when Xu Shijie was in a dilemma, Li Chengqian handed over this letter.

"Weifu was originally worried that the crown prince would be confused by that Northern Qi saintess and force me to release these prisoners of war, but now it seems that I was worrying unfoundedly."

Haitang Duoduo obeyed Li Chengqian's order to recruit the surrounding forces who resisted. Although Xu Shijie saw it, he did not let down his vigilance towards this woman.

"His Royal Highness is a born king. At first I thought he was obsessed with women, but these days I saw Gu Weiyong and the patriarchs of the big clans in the city helping us to appease the people of Yecheng, and I understood his deep meaning."

Joining if you can't beat it is not something that happens now, Li Chengqian didn't reveal that aspect, the night when he moved into the prefect's mansion, Gu Qing'er, the prefect's prostitute's daughter, climbed into his bed;

Gu Weiyong, a cheap father-in-law, moved out of the prefect's mansion, and helped him appease the people of Yecheng.

These days, the patriarchs of the big clans in the city offered their daughters to him one after another. In order to appease the hearts of the people and the stability of Yecheng, he accepted them all with a smile.

…………

"Li Chengqian, you clearly promised that I would treat them well, why did you do that?"

In the study of the prefect's mansion, Li Chengqian was playing chess with Ye Mengyao, the daughter of Ye Mengyao, the daughter of the rich family of Yecheng, when Begonia Duoduo rushed in desperately.

There used to be four major families in Yecheng, Zhao, Ye, Qiao, and Zhen. After Li Chengqian connived at the Qing army's rebellion and wiped out the Zhao family, the three major families that were still on the sidelines came to surrender one after another; Among the young and beautiful women, the most eye-catching one is this Ye Mengyao.

"presumptuous"

"Your Highness, calm down, Your Highness, calm down..."

Fearing that the fish in the pond would be harmed, Ye Mengyao lowered her head and bowed.

"You go out first."

Li Chengqian was a little disappointed, he waved to Ye Mengyao, signaling her to leave first.

"Yes, Your Highness."

It is said that being with you is like being with a tiger, so why isn't Li Chengqian, the crown prince of an enemy country who holds the power of life and death in Yecheng, just another tiger?

Ye Mengyao followed suit and left the room.

"I thought you were a smart person who would figure it out for yourself; I didn't expect you to be so stupid and even come to me yelling. Who gave you the courage?"

Of course Li Chengqian knew why Haitang Duoduo came to him.

"You promised me that you would treat them well, why did you lie to me?"

Haitang Duoduo was tearful, looking broken.

Just now, she saw the miserable appearance of those released prisoners of war, and some of these people were persuaded to surrender by her in the past few days.

"It's not a lie, I've treated them kindly..."
