Two days later, Zhou Shen and Zhou Che arrived at Heiya Pass with 200,000 soldiers and horses.
After they arrived, they were shocked when they saw that Heiyaguan was peaceful and there was no flames of war or smoke.
Zhou Gu personally greeted the two of them, "Second brother, third brother."
Zhou Che immediately asked: "Fourth brother, where are the soldiers and horses of Wei?"
“We evacuated two days ago,” Zhou Gu said.
Zhou Che said, "Huh?" "The Wei army actually withdrew its troops? Why? Didn't we come here in vain?"
“You’re not here in vain, let’s go to the city first.” Zhou Gu led the two of them inside.
Zhou Shen and Zhou Che nodded and followed him into the city.
After entering the city, Zhou Gujian led the Wei Crown Prince Yuan Zhao to attack Heiya Pass for several days, but failed to capture Heiya Pass and destroyed six siege guns. Now the war with Heiya Pass has reached a stalemate. The Wei Dynasty probably guessed that reinforcements from Daliang would arrive soon, so he told the two of them about withdrawing their troops.
Zhou Shen and Zhou Che sighed.
Zhou Shen asked: "Fourth brother, it must have been very difficult for you a few days ago, right? Judging from your face, I guess the injuries on your body have not healed yet."
Zhou Gu nodded, "Yes, I almost died in Yuan Zhao's hands."
Zhou Che gritted his teeth and said, "There are old and new grudges. We will definitely seek revenge against Wei in the future."
He will never forget how his father, uncle, and uncles died at the hands of the Wei people.
"There is no need to wait in the future. You guys have a day off today, and we will set off tomorrow to go to Wei Dynasty." Zhou Gu said: "Go and take revenge."
"Ah?" Zhou Che was startled again, "Fourth brother, what do you say? The Wei Dynasty has just withdrawn its troops. Are we going to pursue them? Do we have enough food and grass? Do we have enough military supplies?"
"Enough to capture several cities." Zhou Gu said.
“This…” Zhou Che was confused.
Zhou Shen was also shocked, "Fourth brother, is the princess planning to counterattack the Wei Dynasty?"
"Yes." Zhou Gu analyzed the pros and cons and the reasons for this decision for the two of them. Even if it was a few cities, he could peel off the skin of Wei.
After hearing this, the two of them felt that it was feasible, and they immediately became energetic. "We thought it was too late and there was no room for us to use it. This is very good."
When they arrived at the Tongbing Mansion, Su Rong was already waiting at the door. He greeted them with a smile and said, "Second brother, third brother."
Zhou Shen and Zhou Che were both stunned. At her address, they turned their heads to look at Zhou Gu, as if they were surprised when they got married. Even the words have been changed.
Zhou Gu coughed lightly and said, "Shout first."
He probably understood that Su Rong accepted Cui Xingzhi and Cui Yanjin calling her cousin-in-law. So far, they have not corrected them to change their words. They have continued to call her cousin. Now that his two cousins are here, she will naturally change her title to avoid Prefer one over the other.
Zhou Shen and Zhou Che turned around when they heard this, and quickly handed Su Rong their hands, "Four younger brothers and sisters."
Su Ronxiao, please invite the two of them into the house.
Came to the front hall, drank two cups of tea, and after some pleasantries, someone led the two of them to settle down and rest.
Zhou Gu accompanied the two of them to their residence. Zhou Che stood next to Zhou Gu, pulling him and asking in a low voice: "Fourth brother, you and the princess..."
“They are younger siblings.” Zhou Gu corrected.
"Not yet." Zhou Gu said: "But with the marriage certificate in hand, I have also been recognized by the king and Prime Minister Ye. If the Wei Dynasty had not violated the border, we would have returned to the capital of Southern Chu and accepted the title. She changed her mind in advance, I also want you to rest assured that the position of Mr. Wang belongs to me." Zhou Che suddenly said, "That's it."
He smiled and said: "We were shocked just now. It seems that the fourth brother and sister treat you really well."
"That's natural." Zhou Gu curled his lips, "When life and death were at stake, she would rather die on the battlefield than have someone protect me. I was so angry that I ignored her all night."
Zhou Che: “…”
He looked at Zhou Gu carefully and said, "Ignored you all night?"
“Well, I didn’t pay attention to it all night.”
“Why is this so unreasonable?” Zhou Che was curious.
"I'm just so angry that I don't want to pay attention to her." Zhou Gu naturally wouldn't say anything. Su Rong was unconscious. He was so angry that he didn't want to stay in the same room with her, and he didn't sleep well all night next door.
Zhou Che clicked his tongue and patted Zhou Gu on the shoulder, "Fourth brother, you are so angry and angry that you are different from others. After you sleep, your anger will subside and you will be fine the next day? Is this considered a night of neglect?"
Zhou Gu: “…”
Zhou Shen laughed out loud and pulled Zhou Che's arm away, "We are very lucky to see that the princess and the fourth brother are safe. Just now in the front hall, we heard the two cousins of the Qinghe Cui family talking about the danger at that time. It still makes people feel scared.”
He asked Zhou Gu, "After Wei withdrew its troops, did you send a letter to your family? My grandmother and aunt must be very worried about you."
Zhou Gu nodded, "I've sent the letter. The flying eagles raised by Xiao Qi are not enough, so I sent someone 800 miles away to rush, and we won't be able to reach Daliang Capital that quickly."
Zhou Shen nodded.
On the day when the Wei Dynasty withdrew its troops, the quasi-Crown Princess Luo Yan led people from the Poison Medicine Sect to attack Heiyaguan. She was tired for days, old injuries were not healed, and new ones were added, causing her to fall into coma again.
She woke up after being in a coma for two days and found herself lying in a carriage while the army was marching on the road. She immediately sat up, opened the car curtain, and looked outside. Sure enough, she was walking. She was surprised and shouted, "Someone is coming."
The person from the poisonous doctor's sect came immediately, "Master, are you awake? Are you hungry? Or are you thirsty?"
Luo Yan was neither hungry nor thirsty. “Why are you on your way?”
The man immediately replied: "His Royal Highness the Prince has withdrawn his troops. We are on the way back to Wei Dynasty."
Luo Yan's expression changed, "We didn't capture Heiya Pass, why did we withdraw our troops?"
The man shook his head.
Luo Yan immediately ordered, "Stop the car, I want to see the prince."
The man nodded and immediately went to the carriage in front to report.
After a moment, the team stopped. Luo Yan, supported by others, jumped out of the carriage and came to Yuan Zhao's carriage. When he saw Yuan Zhao, he asked him: "Your Highness, why are you withdrawing your troops? Hong Ying was killed. I haven’t reported it yet.”
Yuan Zhao looked at Luo Yan. The person who had just woken up was still pale and was being supported by others. Although he was weak, his energy was strong and his aura was very strong. He was still satisfied with himself as the crown princess and she was capable. He is cruel and ruthless, but he cannot hold back and is not calm enough.
He explained to her in a gentle voice, "Reinforcements have arrived at Heiya Pass. If we don't withdraw our troops, we can't attack Heiya Pass. We can only waste it. If we continue to waste it, it will not be good for me. Don't worry, Zhou Gu killed Red Eagle. I, the king, remember this, and sooner or later I will ask you to take revenge with your own hands. Your injuries are too serious now, so go back to the Wei Dynasty with me and carefully recuperate your injuries. A gentleman will take revenge. It is not too late in ten years."
Luo Yan was unwilling to give in, "Are we just going to leave like this?"
Yuan Zhao said: "I know that you are not willing to give in. I have lost six siege guns and fifty thousand horses, and I am even more unwilling to do so. But now, we can only withdraw our troops. Nan Chu has Daliang as its backing, and I am even more unwilling to do so." We must be wary of Daliang, fearing that as time goes by, Daliang will take the opportunity to disrupt Wei's rear."
Luo Yan pursed his lips, but he was also a person who listened to advice. Hearing what Yuan Zhao said, he lost his temper and said, "Okay! This is what you said. Sooner or later, let me take revenge with my own hands."
Yuan Zhao affirmed, "Well, I said so, don't worry."
