: There is no turning back when the bow is fired

After Wei Miao's hairpin ceremony was over, Qin Tian returned to Liefeng Shanfang and went to and from the academy every day as before.

Shen Xiao, who had had no news for a long time, finally sent her a letter. Shen Xiao's handwriting could be described as extremely scrawled, but between the lines there was a coolness that Qin Tian had never seen before in the academy.

Shen Xiao said that General Yue, who had been targeted and embarrassed before, had been rescued by them. They met many generals of the Shen family army one after another. Everyone felt chilled by the current situation and held a breath in their hearts.

Shen Xiao's mother's reaction to her leaving the academy was actually not as severe as she imagined.

Mrs. Shen just asked Shen Xiao, "There is no turning back. Once you set foot on this road, your mother will not allow you to look back. Have you thought about it?"

At that time, Shen Xiao and her mother looked at each other silently for a long time and nodded.

"My daughter has thought about it."

The fate of the Shen family, from General Shen to Major General Shen, and then to Shen Xiao, everyone in the Shen family carries their own destiny and moves forward with no escape.

After that, Mrs. Shen secretly helped Shen Xiao contact the former Shen Jiajun generals, and advised them on the future way out.

Shen Xiao's letter was not long, so Qin Tian read it over and over again for a long time, feeling sincerely happy for her.

Shen Xiao may have her own path soon, but what about herself?

Over in Yanzhou, the Suzheng Army and the imperial army have been at war. Previously, the imperial court might have had the upper hand and blocked the Suzheng Army in Yanzhou. However, in the past few days, the Suzheng Army actually broke through the siege of the imperial court and headed west. Marched forward and captured the entire county.

The public was a little unfavorable to these rebel armies, especially after hearing that the Guangzhou Army and the Nancheng Army suffered defeats at the hands of officers and soldiers. But this time the Suzheng Army broke through the encirclement, defeated the imperial army and occupied new areas, the public was excited again. stand up.

Amidst these ups and downs of news, Qin Tian has been worried about his brother-in-law.

Nowadays, she has to stop on Shanmen Avenue for a while after school every day to listen to the news from the students before leaving.

Apart from these, she didn't have much else to do. Wei Yunce, Mr. Wei, missed several classes, and the strict Mr. Mu from the past came back several times. And her father, Qin Guanzhong, came to Liefeng Villa several times in a row. , I would have a meal with her every time and talk to her for a long time before leaving.

Qin Tian came to Liefeng Villa because he expected that the imperial court was in defeat, the war was intensifying, and his father could not escape the pressure from the imperial court, and he did not want to be discovered by Mrs. Qin.

She always prepares meals that her father likes to eat. Whenever he sees these dishes, he looks at her for a long time.

"My son is too filial."

Although her father is often absent and only visits her once every few months, he is the father who raised her. Why is she not filial?

Qin Tian didn't know what his father meant by sighing like this, but he didn't think much about it.

There were two more autumn rains, and the mountain roads were muddy and difficult to walk, and some girls stopped coming to the academy.

The empty school today was filled with the coolness of the autumn wind. For the last calligraphy class in the afternoon, Qin Tian prepared as usual. When he saw Wei Yunce coming for Mr. Mu again, he quickly lowered his head to read in a polite manner.

Unexpectedly, this was the first thing Mr. Wei said.

"This is the last time I give you this calligraphy class. From now on, Mr. Mu will still teach you."

When he said this, the few female students who were absent due to Qiu Yu all became quiet.

In the past few days, Mr. Mu appeared frequently, and Qin Tian had some premonitions.

After all, Mr. Mu's health had recovered and he no longer needed anyone else to take his place, but this time Wei Yunce suddenly expressed his intention to leave, and she still felt a little unspeakable.

No matter what, her writing has made great progress in the past few months. Even the strict Mr. Mu was surprised when he saw her handwriting a few days ago, and then nodded and gave a rare comment.

"No slacking off."

Most of the credit for Qin Tian being recognized by the strict Mr. Mu comes from Wei Yunce and Mr. Wei.

Hearing that he was about to leave, Qin Tian couldn't help but raise his head and look at him, not wanting to catch his gaze.

Thinking of Wei Miao's words, Qin Tian felt inexplicably guilty and quickly lowered his head.

She thought that even if he left, there would be no more interactions in the future.

What Wei Miao called her eldest brother's sweetheart should not be her, otherwise why hadn't Wei Yunce looked for her these days? But she still silently sorted out a few copybooks he gave her, and took this opportunity to return them, and there was nothing else after that.

Intersected.

She clicked on the copybooks, and except for the handwritten one he gave by mistake at the beginning, which she left at home, she took all the others with her.

Qin Tian could only ignore the copybook for now and return the other basic items in handwriting to express his gratitude to this gentleman, which was considered polite.

Thinking like this, at the end of the class, several girls showed deep reluctance in their eyes. They were usually too shy to come forward, but this time they followed Wei Yunce and whispered a few words to him in thin voices.

talk.

Wei Yunce was kind-hearted and responded to every student. One girl even had red eyes.

Seeing this situation, Qin Tian felt inexplicably a little cold. This Mr. Wei helped her a lot, but she just wanted to cut off the relationship with him.

Qin Tian followed several girls until they all said goodbye to him before it was her turn.

She glanced at Mr. Wei gently, and the young man suddenly laughed.

Qin Tian looked around and saw that the girls were all gone and she was the only one left.

He was smiling at her.

Qin Tian blinked. He didn't explain why he was laughing, he just said something warm.

"Timid rabbit, just take a few steps with me."

Um?

Is he talking about her?

But Qin Tian subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Mr. Wei said something in a timely manner.

"You've been avoiding me for a long time. I won't come back from tomorrow. Can't I even take a few steps?"

Qin Tian: "."

He. He knows everything?

Qin Tian was surprised, but having his thoughts exposed like this, he felt embarrassed even if he wanted to find excuses to refuse.

Fortunately, it is in the academy, and because the mountain seems to want more students from poor families to come in and study, a large area has been opened up in the back mountain. Many craftsmen, masons, and even ordinary people come to help, and the academy is full of people.

.

In this way, Qin Tian could only accept it awkwardly.

Wei Yunce looked at her with a smile.

"Let's go this way."

The battlefield to the west of the Suzheng Army.

From the border of Yanzhou to the west, Suzheng's army broke through a county-wide gap in the imperial containment circle, and the morale of the entire army was greatly boosted.

The Suzheng Army has been suppressed by the imperial court since it rose up. Although it has never suffered a defeat, it has not achieved any complete victory. The army seems to be stagnating, and even the number of rebel people who come to seek refuge is gradually decreasing.

But this time, Qin Shen used the strategy of attacking from the east and attacking from the west, quickly gathering troops to break through the imperial defense line on the west, winning quickly and occupying the western counties in one fell swoop.

This is actually all due to the calm training of General Zhang.

At that time, Mr. Sun was delighted with the victory and wanted to celebrate Qin Shen's victory, but Mr. He stopped him.

Qin Shen also felt that there was no rush. The road to Su Zhengjun had just begun. "If we can capture two more counties, we should stabilize the situation and celebrate our victory again."

Both he and Mr. He had another consideration.

The imperial court suffered a defeat this time, and General Zhang will definitely be punished as a general of the imperial court. Maybe next, the imperial court will change generals, and the people who will come after that will not be like General Zhang.

Sure enough, just a few days after Qin Shen and Mr. He thought about this matter, a secret message came from the capital. The palace angrily scolded General Zhang for being old and incompetent, and was preparing to replace him with the commander-in-chief of Shanxi Province who had been with the emperor since his residence.

Qian Feng.

Qian Feng is a close confidant who was promoted by the emperor. He has not yet arrived, but his reputation has already arrived.

Sun Wenjing had no idea of ​​celebrating for a while, but at this moment he welcomed Taoist Zhang Shouyuan, who had been traveling south for a long time.

Zhang Shouyuan went to the Guangliu Army and the Nancheng Army and tried many times to persuade the other two rebel armies to join forces with the Suzheng Army to fight against the imperial court.

At first, the two armies did not take this as the same thing, and later they exchanged information about the Imperial Army with the Suzheng Army, but this time there was something different.

As night fell, the weather gradually cooled down, and the autumn wind at night even chilled the body. Several torches were lit in the camp, illuminating the surrounding area.

Qin Sheng had just returned from another camp. As soon as he got off his horse, he heard the news from Li Xiu, saying, "Taoist Priest Shouyuan is back with important news."

Qin Shen went into his tent to wash his hands, and was about to give instructions for a change of defense tomorrow morning.

He was not at the same place as Sun Wenjing and the others at the moment, but on the western battlefield where the Suzheng Army had just expanded.

Since the master has returned with urgent news, he may have to return to Yanzhou in the next two days.

There is also Qingzhou, he has not shown up in Qingzhou for a long time, and private speculation about the silver-faced general of the Suzheng Army has been made about him.

It's time for him to make a brief appearance in Qingzhou.

Fortunately, the new general sent by the imperial court has not yet taken office, so Suzheng's army does not have too many worries.

Just when Qin Sheng was about to call someone to give him some advice, he heard Li Xiu tell him.

"Taoist Priest Shouyuan brought news about the Guangzhou Army and the Nancheng Army. The two armies have been repeatedly attacked and suppressed by the imperial court recently. They have the intention to join forces, but they are still very tough on their words and find it difficult to obey the arrangements of the Su Zheng Army.
