Chapter 371 Leaving.

It only took one night for everyone to leave the camp woods where the battle took place and head towards Northern Qi.

At first, Li An planned to return the same way, first to Jiangnan Road and then take a boat back.

The soldiers stationed at the border could be mobilized at the fastest speed by sending messages via snow sculptures without any trouble. However, with less than two thousand men left at this moment, and being followed by the imperial guards led by Li Chengzong, this was not possible.

"I really miss the time when I could do a lot of things by just making a phone call." He has a mobile phone with him, but others don't. It makes people feel uncomfortable that they can't get any information in the first time.

"What chicken are you talking about sir?"

Li Chengzong was riding on his horse at full speed and actually heard Li An talking to himself.

It can be seen that he is using his own way to narrow the distance between himself and the people of Northern Qi, hoping to integrate into their group.

Perhaps, this is also due to his love for his wife.

His marriage with the eldest princess of Northern Qi was a political marriage, but during their marriage, he also fell deeply in love with the quiet, gentle, intellectual and intelligent eldest princess.

"nothing."

Fan Xian pulled the reins of his horse, avoided a puddle of water, and responded, "Is Prince He worried about a Western Hu woman named Ma Suosuo?"

"Nothing can be hidden from the Imperial Master." Li Chengzong was slightly stunned, then he smiled bitterly.

This isn't that obvious, is it?

At the beginning, even the eldest princess didn't know about Masuo's existence. If it wasn't for Fan Xian's trouble in the end, how would this National Master Li An know about it?
Does being able to tell fortunes really mean you can do anything?

"Don't worry too much. Li Chengze will send someone over after we arrive in Daqi."
-
When they arrived at the border where Cangzhou Road, Taiyuan Road and Northern Qi Nanling County met, they were already very tired. Li An had a fight with Wu Zhu and Si Gu Jian in Kyoto before, and then he rushed to the border of Dongshan Road to meet Yan Xiaoyi, and then returned to Kyoto to kill the eldest princess Li Yunrui.
Although disrupting the situation in Nanqing had achieved his intended goal, it also consumed too much of his strength and energy, especially since he had to mobilize the army, deploy the attack, and launch it together with the Western Hu forces. Just thinking about it made him feel tired.

At this moment, he was not as powerful as people thought.

Looks like I need to take a break.
Looking at the river in front of us, the border of Northern Qi will be just beyond it.

The prototype of this river is the natural barrier of the Yangtze River in previous lives, but it has gradually changed shape over hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, becoming somewhat familiar yet different.

This big river comes from the "North Sea" and flows to Dongyi City, and finally returns to the sea. Several countries have lived together with this as the boundary for many years.

"Now that we're here, we have to split up!"

Li An turned his horse's head towards the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Yan Xiaoyi."

"The general is here!"

"Let's go up the river and take a trip with Master Ku He!"

Yan Xiaoyi didn't ask the reason, but subconsciously glanced at Ku He who opened the curtain from the carriage, clasped his fists and said, "I understand!"

This plan against Xihu could not be told in front of everyone. Li An just took out a piece of letter from his body and handed it to Yan Xiaoyi, and asked him to check it after they parted.

Seeing this, Ku He smiled even more.

It was obvious that Ang Lee had been prepared. Unexpectedly, even the letter paper had been written so early. It seemed that great things could be accomplished!

After all, only ruthless people can accomplish great things.

The means are ruthless and the purpose is clear, which shows that the other party is calm.

There are only three of us going to West Lake!
Yan Xiaoyi, Ku He and a carriage driver
The driver was also a soldier, with the strength of the fifth rank, and was only used for miscellaneous tasks and support during the retreat. The real action was still Yan Xiaoyi and Ku He. Li An moved his horse to Yan Xiaoyi, patted the latter on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Come back alive."

Yan Xiaoyi clasped his fists and lowered his head without saying anything.

When Li An turned his head, the curtain of the carriage that Ku He was riding in had been lowered, but Li An still said loudly: "Take care!"

He flipped his hand, and a palm-sized wooden box appeared in his hand.

Without seeing how Li An moved, the wooden box shot into the car curtain at an extremely fast speed, but no sound was heard. It was obviously delivered in by using some skillful force.

"If that time really comes, this pill may give Master a 20% chance of winning."

Ku He's voice came from the carriage:
"I will do my best. From now on, I will leave everything to Mr. Li."

"I will also do my best."

The carriage turned around and slowly drove out, and the three people slowly disappeared from sight.
Turning around, Li An shouted, "Send the signal, cross the river!"

While these two thousand people were crossing the river by boat, no one knew that a famous doctor named Fengchun had already entered Kyoto, and was beginning to emerge and gain the attention of the Imperial Medical Service.

However, because of his identity as a Northern Qi person, he was still unable to serve in the palace. Whether by accident or on purpose, he was sent to the residences of various ministers to show the emperor's grace.

In this way, Fengchun shuttled between the mansions of various nobles, treating their illnesses and recuperating them.

Prince Jing's illness was previously treated by Fan Xian himself, but after Fan Xian left Kyoto and went to Dongyi City, his condition gradually worsened.

Helplessly, the people in the mansion could only write a letter to inform Li Hongcheng, the prince of Jing, who was at the border of Xihu, and at the same time send someone to invite Fengchun, who was becoming more and more famous, to come to the mansion to treat Jing. Therefore, this Mr. Fengchun had never met Fan Xian. No matter how smart Fan Xian was, he could not have guessed that in the near future, this Mr. Fengchun would hand the life of Li Chengze, the current emperor of Qing, into his hands.
This person was not arranged by Ang Lee.

He is a bitter person
Everyone has their own thoughts. They are not emotionless beings, nor are they all pawns, but they are all using their own ways to achieve what they think.

In this world, the three poisons of greed, anger and ignorance are all present.

Even Ku He, who had been working together for many years on his day off, was not immune to this.

Perhaps, when Ang Lee learns about this in the future, he will just shake his head and sigh, and then put it out of his mind.

When Li An returned to the Northern Qi military camp, a small battle had just ended. Soldiers on both sides were retreating in an orderly manner. Obviously, there were not many casualties, which could be seen from the expressions on the faces of the soldiers on both sides.

After settling the Prince's soldiers and allocating a campsite and food supplies, Li An came into the big tent.

"I've seen the Imperial Master!"

Shangshan Hu saw everyone and looked a little surprised, "Why haven't Master Ku He, Lord Lang Tao and the Saint returned?"

Li An glanced at Uesugi Tora and knew what he was thinking.

The great general of Northern Qi was concerned about Yan Xiaoyi's increasingly powerful rise and worried about the instability of his own position, so he completely joined the Queen Mother's camp. Now none of the real power that originally belonged to Northern Qi has returned, so he asked this question.

"Haitang Duoduo will come back from the sea by boat. Langtao is dead. He died on Mount Dadong."

Li An paused.

"As for Master Ku He."
