Chapter 148 Qi Wushuang Returns to Andu
Three days later, Ye Hongxia, who was riding on a camel, pointed to a place and said to Ye Wuwei:
"That's where the caravan was buried."
Ye Wuwei looked around:
"The yellow sand layer here is indeed very thick, there is a lot of yellow sand, and there are small sand hills."
"This isn't even the place with the most sand. The desert about ten miles to the west is the truly terrifying one, with mountains made entirely of yellow sand.
If you stray into that area, you’ll be buried in the sand if you’re not careful.”
Seeing Ye Hongxia's exaggerated words, Ye Wuwei exposed her: "Have you been there?"
Ye Hongxia had no idea that her boasting had been discovered: "I haven't been there, but I heard about it from the tour guide."
Ye Wuwei thought about it: If quicksand really happened here, it wouldn’t be surprising to see sand dunes nearby.
And because Ye Hongxia was there, Ye Wuwei didn't have to worry about identifying the direction or finding the water source, as Ye Hongxia took care of it all.
If the original body were still alive, it would be nice to have a mother like this!
However, he was not his original self after all, and could not enjoy Ye Hongxia's care for him for nothing.
I must repay you when I have the chance!

Qamdo
Ever since the court meeting that day when it was announced that the emperor would lead the army in person, Qi Wushuang began to arrange various matters.
When he was in Andu, the food and horses for Qi Wushuang's army were supplied by the Nie, Hu and Di families. This was still the case when he went to war with the north.
However, just in case, Qi Wushuang also asked the Minister of War He Changsong to collect some food and supplies and transport them to Andu.
Ever since Qi Wushuang said he would lead the army in person, Chu Taian approached him privately:
"Your Majesty, I will go with you."
Qi Wushuang didn't agree immediately, but asked: "Is there any special reason?"
"Since you intend to let me take over Yingdu, I need to make achievements and establish my prestige. This time, defeating the Northland is the best opportunity."
"Are you so sure I can defeat the Ati? What if I lose?"
"Your Majesty, you will not lose.
Although those old guys in Chamdo think you are brave but not wise, I know you are not.
If you hadn't planned this in advance, you wouldn't have proposed leading the army in person."
Qi Wushuang thought:
You are wrong this time. It is really because of Wu Wei that I chose this time to take action against the Northland.
However, Qi Wushuang is confident of winning.
"Even if we win, there are no eyes on the battlefield. No one can guarantee that they won't be injured or even killed on the battlefield."
"You're right, but my martial arts and skills are superior to most people in the army. In a one-on-one fight, Commander Nie and the others are no match for me.
My chances of dying are at least lower than most soldiers."
Although what Chu Taian said made sense, Qi Wushuang still disagreed.
"You should discuss this with Fu Chi first."
Chu Taian went to find Chu Fuchi again.
Chu Fuchi naturally disagreed.
"You are my only sister. The battlefield is so dangerous. You are not allowed to go."
As a result, Chu Taian's words left Chu Fuchi speechless:
"If your Majesty can go, why can't I? Is my life more valuable than your Majesty's?"
Chu Fuchi stopped talking.
Chu Taian pulled Chu Fuchi and acted coquettishly: "Brother, I'm very skilled, don't worry, I'll be fine."
Chu Fuchi naturally knew that Chu Taian was very skilled, but he was still worried.
But Chu Taian was right: no matter how precious her life was, it was not as precious as Qi Wushuang!
Chu Taian’s accident has little impact on the overall situation.
But if something happens to Qi Wushuang, then the world will really change!
Since Qi Wushuang can go to the battlefield personally, there is nothing wrong with Chu Taian!
The main reason is that Chu Taian has volunteered to fight. If he is determined not to let Chu Taian go to the battlefield, it will somewhat shake the morale of the army.
Helpless, Chu Fuchi could only agree.
Since Chu Fuchi had no objection, Qi Wushuang agreed to let Chu Taian go with him to Mo Nan.
Because there were only two thousand black-armored soldiers following Qi Wushuang to Mo Nan, it only took three days for Qi Wushuang to lead two thousand people and prepare to set off.
Before departure, Qi Wushuang was sent off to the battle in the huge square of the imperial palace.
This departure ceremony is different from previous ones.
Previous departure ceremonies included oath-taking ceremonies and flag-raising ceremonies, but this time there were none of those.
The square of the palace was piled high with bombs and grenades, and officials who came to see him off stood around.
Nie Youren ordered the Imperial Guards to detonate two bombs and throw more than a dozen grenades on the spot, blowing the Imperial Palace Square to pieces.
Nie Youren also did not forget to threaten Master Zhuang and the others who were bidding farewell to Qi Wushuang in the square:
“These bombs and grenades may not completely raze the entire city of Chamdo to the ground, but they can certainly flatten a few mansions.
Moreover, we can always make bombs and grenades."
This is also a warning to Master Zhuang and Master Yuwen:
If they are not honest, we will first blow up the residences of the Grand Tutor, the Grand Master and others.
At that time, not only Grand Tutor Zhuang and Grand Tutor Yuwen, but also many court officials turned pale with fright.
Who wouldn't be afraid when faced with "weapons" beyond their comprehension?!
After the departure ceremony, Nie Youren personally led 20,000 guards to escort Qi Wushuang and 2,000 black-armored soldiers out of Huguan.
As long as he gets out of Huguan, Qi Wushuang will not be afraid even if there is an ambush.
Qi Wu followed Qi Wushuang.
Ever since Qi Wushuang ascended the throne and learned about the "affair" between Qi Wushuang and Ye Wuwei, Qi Wu was troubled for a whole day, but in the end he couldn't resist the urge to stay with Qi Wushuang, and Qi Wu automatically ignored Ye Wuwei's existence.
In addition to Qi Wu, there is also Chu Taian.
The two thousand black-armored soldiers marched very quickly and reached Andu in just ten days.
Ten miles away from Andu City, Qi Wushuang saw Yuchi Yan who was waiting there with his troops.
Yuchi Yan is over fifty years old, but he is still radiant and strong. He can eat two large bowls of rice at every meal, and he can still dance with the 26-jin Qinglong Yanyue Sword with great vigor.
Seeing Qi Wushuang, Yuchi Yan stepped forward to pay his respects.
Qi Wushuang did not dismount, "General Yuchi, let's go back to the city first. We can discuss anything in the city."
After saying that, Qi Wushuang rode away on his horse, and Yuchi Yan also mounted his horse and followed him.
Ever since Qi Wushuang entered Andu City, the people have been cheering: "The prince is back."
"No, now you should call him Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty is back!"
"The prince is back!"
"Your Majesty is back!"
Cheers echoed throughout the city of Andu.
If Ye Wuwei were here, he would definitely be amazed at how popular Qi Wushuang is in Andu.
