Chapter 1189： Trust me, wait for me!

Chapter 1189 Believe me, wait for me!

On the contrary, the Marquis looked calm. Before the traitor was found, everyone seemed a little suspicious. Now, although he is sad, he is much more at ease.

He paused for a moment and asked, "What did the other generals say?"

Mu Jue responded, "They originally wanted to resist the decree and lead troops out of the border for rescue. But I stopped them. After all, resisting the decree will definitely lead to being labeled as a rebel. They all have relatives in Xin..."

The Marquis nodded, "You are doing the right thing. Don't let them get involved unless you have to. Jiang Cheng's betrayal and imperial decree to seize power are all aimed at me.

“I originally thought that no matter how jealous my great achievements were, the emperor would always put Tianwu’s safety first. He would not take action until I finished this last battle, completely destroyed the barbarian cavalry, and ensured Tianwu’s peace for twenty years.

"Unexpectedly, he didn't even want to wait for a few days. It also caused three thousand vanguard brothers to follow me and fall into danger!"

"No, don't say that, Lord Marquis!" The other soldiers heard this and shouted one after another.

"We are the soldiers of the Marquis, the invincible Northern Expeditionary Army! At any time, we are willing to follow the Marquis and fight to the end!"

"Besides, there are only ten thousand people at the foot of the mountain, not one hundred thousand, so we are not afraid! With a few charges, we can break through the siege!"

“That’s right, it’s just our defeated generals!”

With such morale, the Marquis and everyone are naturally happy.

The barbarians at the foot of the mountain didn't know what to plan and had been holding back their troops. This gave everyone time to discuss countermeasures.

Li Laosi watched the soldiers busy and sighed, "I originally thought that after the last battle and the barbarians were wiped out, I would take the brothers back to Jiangnan and reunite them with their relatives.

Now, it’s so dangerous, I’m afraid...”

The Marquis also frowned. It was too difficult to successfully break through the barbarian siege without using the Northern Expeditionary Army at the border and to protect the soldiers around him as much as possible.

Li Laosi wandered around and finally said, "Master Marquis, let's contact the border to send troops. At that time, if the court labels them for resisting the imperial decree and being disrespectful, we will take them south. Maybe when they get overseas, they can even You can build your own country!”

Mu Jue was excited when he heard this and said, "I think so too. If we could find a place like the Kingdom of the Golden Buddha, it wouldn't be difficult to become the king directly."

The Marquis stood up, looked at the border, shook his head and said, "No, the soldiers all have parents and relatives. If they leave with us, their parents and relatives will definitely suffer. Moreover, it is difficult to leave our homeland, and no one is willing to go far away unless it is absolutely necessary."

Li Laosi kicked the stone irritably and retorted, "Master Marquis, this won't work, and that won't work either. Where can we find reinforcements? It's better to just kill them. Otherwise, if we are trapped in such a lonely mountain for a few days, it will be... If the barbarians don’t attack, we will die of thirst and starvation!”

The Marquis tightened the white cloth strap around his injured leg, raised his sword, and said, "I will lead my guards to find the weak points in the barbarian siege first, and we will rush out after dark."

“No, your leg is still hurt! I’ll go too!” Li Laosi stopped Mr. Hou and raised his feet to leave.

Mu Jue didn't want to, but he jumped up on the big rock, looked at the south of the Yangtze River, then jumped down and said, "Master Marquis, we have reinforcements!"

After saying that, he carefully took out an envelope sewn with oil paper from his arms and handed it to the Marquis.

"When I came out, the princess gave me this. She asked me to give it to you when I was in desperate situation. I guess the time has come. The princess must have a way to save us!"

The Marquis opened the envelope, and there was only a piece of letter paper inside, with a sentence written on it.

“Trust me, wait for me!”

Li Laosi was impatient and came over to take a look. He felt a little mixed in his heart.

The daughter has some magical abilities, and he knows it.

However, of the more than 2,000 vanguard troops, half of whom were injured, they were besieged by tens of thousands of enemies without any reinforcements.

Even if my daughter were a **** descended to earth, I’m afraid she wouldn’t be able to save all these people! Mu Jue didn't care what they did, turned around and ran away without saying a word.

"Four days, wait for me for four days! I will take care of bringing the princess!"

Li Laosi subconsciously stood up to stop him, "Come back, you come back first!"

But Mu Jue had already reached the mountainside, and was even discovered by the barbarians, who shouted and raised their swords to intercept him.

Mu Jue was thinking about going home day and night, wondering how the girl who had captured all his thoughts could be stopped by the barbarians.

With just one encounter, he defeated a barbarian, got out of the encirclement in twos and twos, and even snatched two war horses!

Ride one horse and prepare another horse!

On the top of the mountain, Mr. Hou, Li Laosi and others saw Mu Jue's figure disappearing little by little, and they didn't know what to say.

“Nonsense!” Li Laosi yelled angrily, “Why would you let Fu Niuer do this in such a dangerous place? This kid Mu Jue is too unstable, and Fu Niuer must not be allowed to marry him in the future!”

It's a pity that Mu Jue couldn't hear the threat at all.

Let’s not talk about how the Marquis and Li Laosi organized their troops to hold on to the lonely mountain.

Just talking about Xindu, although the royal family took the initiative to pull the "fig leaf" to cover up the Li family's boldness, every household still felt the tension in the air.

Mutual temptations for the purpose of marrying men and women are still waiting, and dandies are still being imprisoned.

Pedestrians going in and out of the street subconsciously stood on tiptoe and did not dare to raise their voices.

The whole city is like the calm before an earthquake. At some point, maybe just because someone throws a fruit core, the mountains and the earth will immediately collapse and the world will be turned upside down!

The same is true for outsiders. Earl's Mansion and Broken Gold Beach are naturally at the forefront, and they are more nervous and cautious.

The slaves in the Earl's Mansion are all those who have bought out the life and death contracts. They have no relatives, only their masters.

All honors and disgrace are naturally tied to the host family.

So, there is no need to ask at all, just take them all with you when you go south.

But Broken Gold Beach failed. It was not that the villagers were not loyal or united enough, but that there were simply too many elderly people.

Since they traveled across the mountains and ridges to their new home, they have reclaimed wasteland, built houses, dug hot springs, and planted fruits, they have re-established their roots here.

For them, Quanzhou is very good, but if they want to pull out the roots again, they have no strength.

The village chief took the name book and gathered all the remaining people, old and young, and asked them one by one whether they wanted to stay or leave.

An old man took the village chief's arm and sighed, "Brother, we know that the princess and uncle have good intentions and don't want us to stay and be bullied."

"But we are old and we really don't want to move anymore. And even if we go to the south, there is no other use than dragging the children down. We might as well stay and look after the Broken Gold Beach for the master's family. "

"Yes, brother. We really don't want to leave, so we stay here to look after the house. Things are changing, and maybe the master will come back some time!" Another old lady also said.

“When the time comes, we can’t let our master look at the weeds all over the mountains! Let’s stay here, do some rough work, and be buried here when we die, so that we can feel at ease.”

The other elderly people also nodded, obviously having the same plan.
