After understanding this, everyone also understood why Old Master Han was so protective of Li Qiu. This also dispelled some of their concerns.
After all, he had thought that Li Qiu had something special about her, which was why he had asked the old man to take care of her like this.
Now, it seemed that he only had a history with the Han family!
Everyone did not continue this topic and instead discussed the next plan.
Night fell.
Han Ruxue lay on the bed, tossing and turning.
Could it be him?
She was not sure!
But now that things had developed to this point, it didn't seem to matter anymore.
"Sister…"
The little loli didn't sleep either. She called out softly.
"Nightmare?"
Han Qianxue shook her head and hugged her sister.""The person they were talking about today, is it brother-in-law?”
"No."
Han Ruxue shook her head and comforted him,"
"Don't think too much, girl! It's getting late, so it's better to sleep quickly. I still have to run around these two days! Remember, no matter what kind of danger you encounter, don't leave Grandpa's side.”
She couldn't stay in Ningzhou any longer, and the journey back to Chang 'an was fraught with danger. Han Qianxue was still too young, so she was worried.
"Yes!"
The little loli nodded like a chick pecking at rice, but her big eyes were sparkling with tears as she muttered,""Sister, I miss brother-in-law…"
The Han family had very few people, and Han Ruxue was busy with military affairs. Only Li Qiu would bring Han Qianxue out to play.
That was why the little loli was so dependent on her nominal brother-in-law!
...
The next day, at noon.
The moon was dark and the wind was high!
Luo Yan led 2,000 light cavalry and escorted nearly 1,000 civilians who wanted to leave Ningzhou, retreating toward Chang 'an.
There were still more than 4,000 guards in the city. It would not be a problem for them to protect themselves in the short term!
The Han family also joined the team!
Although Old Man Han was old, he still had the foundation he had built up in his youth. With his experience, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage even against five or six Turkic barbarians.
He, Elder Tang, and Han Qianxue were sitting in the same carriage!
Han Ruxue was a highly skilled martial artist. She held a long spear in her hand and rode on a yellow horse. She led a hundred or so Han Clan guards to protect the carriage.
Their plan was to hide during the day and travel at night. They would pass through eight counties, namely Muzhou, Wugong County, and Jingyang City, and then cross the Wei River to Chang 'an!
The Turkic army was still gathering, and as long as they didn't encounter large groups of Turkic cavalry, nothing would go wrong.
From the current situation, Chang 'an might seem dangerous, but it was still a capital region and the center of the Tang Empire!
The Han family had connections there, so it would be best if they could go back!
The group traveled at night and went into hiding near dawn. They either slept in the wilderness or found a city to rest…
Although they had encountered a small group of enemies before, they had managed to survive without any danger!
Two days later, Dredging City.
When Luo Yan and the others entered this small town, they saw the streets and alleys celebrating with joy.
"Great victory in Chang 'an! Minister of War Li Jing led his army to ambush the Turkic Mountain Qiang tribe, killing a total of fifty thousand people! General Qin Qiong killed five generals under Jie Li, General Yuchi captured two barbarian Khans…"
"Victory!"
...
This news was indeed very encouraging. Even Old Master Han, Old Master Tang, and other experienced and prudent people were affected and excited.
The Turks invaded the south, massacred civilians in the Tang Empire, and committed all kinds of crimes. They even wanted to take Chang 'an and encroach on the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains…
The wolf's ambition was as clear as day!
"Good! Apothecary did not let down his big brother's expectations. Beautifully done!”Han Song clenched his fists.
The big brother he was talking about was Han Qinhu, a famous general who had once killed Hu Kou and terrified him!
...
The Turks 'counterattack soon began!
Having lost so many men in one go, Jie Li Khagan almost spat out a mouthful of blood. The Great Khagan issued its orders one after another.
The ninth year of Wude, early July.
The Turkic general Ashidewu did not take orders from the Great Khan to break into Xingshui City in one night, killing more than twenty thousand captured soldiers and civilians.
Corpses piled up like a temple, and blood dyed the Wei River red!
The Great Tang was shaken!
Second Emperor Li announced to the world in front of the Vermilion Bird Gate that he would fight the Turks to the death!
The crowd was furious!
The provinces and counties in the capital province all organized their own soldiers to aid Chang 'an, and some commoners even took advantage of the night to attack the Turkic encampment.
For a moment, the entire Guanzhong region was in chaos!
What no one noticed was that a group of 20 - 30 white-horse cavalrymen had been rushing south from the northern borders, bathed in blood!
The Turks along the way seemed to have seen a nightmare and avoided it!
The ancient war hymns of Huaxia echoed in the midst of the terrifying hooves.
It rang in the vast world!
Victories, tragic!
Breaking a person's heart!
