The prince hurriedly left his seat and greeted the queen mother: "Imperial grandmother, you don't have a good rest, why did you come over?"

The Queen Mother sighed slightly: "The current situation is so grim, not only our ancestors and grandchildren, but also almost all the families of officials in the capital are trapped here, how can the mourning family settle down?"

The prince was a little ashamed and said: "The grandson is useless, so that the imperial grandmother is so old, and she still has to work for this matter." ”

"It's not a trivial matter. The Queen Mother smiled, although she was old, she was in good spirits, much stronger than the spirit of ordinary officials, and she didn't even need to take crutches when she walked.

"Grandson, think about it, now in this temple, there are so many officials' families, whether they are officials in Beijing or outsiders. If we don't protect them well and let them have an accident, think about it, isn't this court chaotic?"

The prince gasped. Therefore, the people who besieged the mountain are indeed too vicious. If they succeed, no matter whether the officials in the capital or those who are in the poor countryside, where will they still have the heart to serve the imperial court? I am afraid that when the time comes, the entire imperial court will be disintegrated without a single soldier.

"Grandmother Huang, what do you say you should do?" the crown prince asked the queen mother's opinion.

The Queen Mother said: "The most important thing now is to protect the safety of those officials and relatives in the temple, as well as the people, and strictly prevent those bandits from attacking the mountain." Now the other side has powerful artillery in their hands, and we have nothing. With such a disparity in strength, how can we fight each other? For the sake of today's plan, we must make full use of our advantage in the mountains. Collect more sandstone logs. In case they attack the mountain, we will use these against them, and we should be able to hold them back for a while. ”

The prince nodded.

The Queen Mother said again: "Breaking through is a must, but not now, it's broad daylight, and the goal is too obvious." We can scatter the attack and send Yu Linwei to scatter the attack. Assault them at four points, southeast, northwest, and northwest, and leave after a few hits, don't fall in love with war. Drag them down with fatigue tactics. When they are so tired that they are on their backs, the second half of the night is the best time for us to break through. ”

The crown prince nodded and said, "Imperial grandmother Gao Jian, grandson will order to go down and let them prepare." ”

The prince's style has always been vigorous and resolute. Soon. He divided the Yu Linwei he brought over to protect the Queen Mother into twelve groups, and attacked the "bandits" who besieged them at the foot of the mountain every hour. Those who don't have their turn to perform tasks take a break.

These Yulin Guards, who specialize in guarding the royal family, are selected from the 100,000 forbidden troops in the capital, and they are good at fighting, and one can be worth ten, so those bandits under the mountain are not their opponents at all. They obeyed the prince's orders, did not love war, and left after the battle. As a result, the bandits in all directions below the mountain were exhausted. There was also a lot less artillery to attack the mountains.

As for the Queen Mother, she took on the obligation to appease the families of the officials. She was already quite majestic, but now she is even more in danger, making the families of the officials in the main hall gradually quiet.

In the huge main hall, Miss Gu Si was the only one to be seen.

It turned out that when the assassination of the Queen Mother occurred in the main hall, Gu Yuanqin, the fourth lady who was extremely smart and reacted very quickly, immediately escaped from the Hanging Ji Temple with everyone. I don't want to be inferior to people, so I escaped from the temple, but I may not be able to escape with my life. Outside the monastery. Artillery blocked the way, and many people died halfway up the mountain. She panicked and picked a small road to walk, although there was less artillery fire, but after all, she was a daughter, when did she walk through the winding and rugged mountain road?

Besides, on the side of Gu Zhirong and Master Mingkong, when Gu Wenxin sent it over, due to excessive blood loss and the incorrect handling of those imperial doctors, he was almost on the verge of shock. Gu Zhirong, Mingkong Xuanhe and others immediately came to the rescue, and there were also eight medical women who were equivalent to the level of special care. After everyone's concerted efforts, Gu Wenxin was pulled back from death, and when all the operations were completed, Gu Wenxin's vital condition stabilized, and the time had reached the third watch.

At this time, Gu Zhirong remembered that he hadn't even eaten lunch and dinner, and the whole person was so hungry that he was about to collapse, and the same was true for Mingkong and Xuanhe, they were a little older, and after the operation, both of them were about to collapse to the ground.

Gu Zhirong thought to himself that it was really not a way to go on like this, although the kitchen of Xuanji Temple was bombed, but people always have to eat, how can they do it if they don't eat?

She pushed herself up and wanted to make something to eat for everyone. Out of the Zen room outside, Lu Shui hurriedly ran over and handed her a butter cake: "Miss, you haven't eaten for a day, you must be hungry, this is what I brought from the house, you can eat quickly." ”

She was so hungry that she had been engrossed in the operation for so long, if she didn't eat something to fill her stomach, Gu Zhirong didn't know if she still had the strength to cook and eat for everyone in the temple, so she didn't shirk it, and ate the shortbread in two clicks.

Seeing that Miss had never eaten so uneaten, Lu Shui felt that she was about to cry, and said, "Miss, eat slowly, don't choke." It's not good to be a slave, only bring such one, if only I knew that I would bring a few, and the young lady wouldn't be hungry. ”

"It's fine. Gu Zhirong shook his head, "I'll be full after eating one." Now let's go to the kitchen and see if there's any flour or something, and I'd like to make some noodles for everyone to satisfy their hunger. ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to make food, Lu Shui immediately came to his senses: "Miss, you really want to make food." Let's go, then. However, the kitchen was bombed, and there was no good food, so I don't know if I can salvage some ingredients from the ruins. ”

Gu Zhirong thought for a while and said, "If it is usual, if you encounter a noble person who wants to stay in the temple for lunch, usually the temple will prepare a lot of ingredients a day in advance, some of which are stored in the warehouse in the kitchen, but more of them are stored in the ......."

Speaking of this, Gu Zhirong glanced at Lu Shui: "You also know that place, or the suggestion you made to Senior Brother." “

Lu Shui immediately came to his senses, and couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing: "Miss, thanks to your reminder, this is really good." If that place hadn't been bombed, we wouldn't have been afraid of those bandits surrounding it for ten days or eight days. ”

Gu Zhirong poked her head with a smile: "If you want to live on this mountain, just say it, do you have to be forced to live here like this to be happy?"

Lu Shui hung his head and said: "Miss, the slave really misses the days in the Hanging Temple, in those three years, we were carefree, and we could do whatever we wanted, unlike now, the people in the house are separated from each other, and they may harm you at any time, which is not fun at all." ”

Referring to the good times in the past, Gu Zhirong also sighed with emotion: "Okay, after this matter is over, we will find a reason to live in this Hanging Temple for a year and a half, okay?"

Lu Shui knew that his young lady was comforting herself, now that she was almost fourteen years old, she would have to discuss her relatives in a few days, if she always lived in the mountains, then what should she do about her family? Maybe the people on the other side of the road still thought that their young lady was going to become a monk.

Gu Zhirong didn't think so, she felt that anyway, her marriage with Prince Lu was a nail in the ironclad, and even the old lady agreed, so there would be no more mistakes. It is good that she lives in the temple, and waits for the title of the golden list of the eldest prince of Lu with peace of mind, and then carries a sedan chair to welcome herself into the door, in that case, she will say goodbye to the Yuanning Marquis Mansion completely, and never step into the land of right and wrong again.
