Good guy, knowing that the situation is not good, he suffered a defeat, so he simply didn't come back.

She was not afraid, and went to find the Empress Dowager in person.

She knew that the Empress Dowager must know all about this kind of thing.

But the situation did not make her optimistic.

Because the Empress Dowager didn't deny it, let alone quibble, but didn't know it at all.

The Empress Dowager was even more confused than Gu Zizhong.

Because after the fall of Jiangnan, the imperial court seemed to have cut off communication, and there was no contact with Jinling City.

No matter how high the status of the Empress Dowager is, after all, people are just staying in Jinling, so she doesn't know anything.

Gu Zi looked at her old man's appearance, it didn't look like she was lying.

And there's no need for her old man to lie.

When it comes to wars, if you lose, you lose, so why lie?

The Empress Dowager didn't reserve it at all, and directly sighed and shook her head: "Zizhong, don't be suspicious, the emperor must be at a loss." This time he was defeated, and the emperor was directly responsible. ”

Although Gu Zizhong didn't speak, his eyes were already moist.

Her expression was also complicated.

For Gu Zizhong, although the brothers in the Jinling Barracks are not close relatives, many people have chatted with her and joked together.

She treats those people as friends.

But who knows that the fate of these people is uncertain now.

And Brother Zishan must be even more sad.

Gu Zi tried to control his emotions again, but it was difficult.

How can you control your emotions in such a situation?

She only sighed, like the Empress Dowager, expressing her helplessness.

She had a complaint in her heart, but it was on her lips, and she didn't know how to say it.

The Empress Dowager was ready to accept criticism for a long time.

Gu Zizhong wanted to criticize the emperor, he used people inappropriately and had no vision.

The Empress Dowager smiled bitterly and said, "Zizhong, don't panic for the time being, wait for me to ask you in person." ”

Gu Zizhong didn't speak, and looked at the Empress Dowager blankly.

Her old man is already like a rotten tree, a dying person, withering at an age, what are she afraid of?

Her old man was ready to be thick-skinned, and no matter what Zi scolded heavily, she didn't hear it.

But Gu Zizhong is still a young lady after all, how can she say dirty words?

Gu Zizhong was too depressed in his heart.

The Empress Dowager waited.

Gu Zizhong finally nodded heavily.

When she left here, she specially put down a cruel sentence: "If all the soldiers in the barracks are destroyed, the Zhu family in Jinling will no longer be as brave as it used to be." ”

The Empress Dowager heard this harshly.

Gu Zizhong's meaning is to pick a child.

Your Majesty, you are incompetent in employing people, the Zhu family in Jinling is gone, who loves to go to war and fight, anyway, we don't have to work hard anymore.

Brother Zishan took a lot of effort to develop the essence disease, and all of them were smashed by that incompetent person.

If Gu Zizhong knew who that general was, he would definitely send someone to settle accounts with him.

The Empress Dowager was not idle, and she didn't know what she had done.

Anyway, Gu Zizhong was waiting for news at home.

After a short time, news came from the capital.

Jiangnan fell, and the rebels approached Jinling.

Do you still need you to publish this news? Lao Tzu knew about it a long time ago.

When Zhu Changxi heard the news, he couldn't wait to jump up and scold the street.

The emperor doesn't take Jinling too seriously, right?

How are the people in the Jinling Barracks now, there is no news at all. The emperor didn't say anything, even if it was just a condolence.

None of them.

Zhu Changxi felt that the emperor was really making fun of people.

Maybe the emperor has no face, how can he explain to Zhu Changxi after losing such a big person?

However, the court did not come to the news, but fortunately, Gu Zizhong inquired about some news and came back.

The family who came to report said: "Young lady, the people in the Jinling Barracks have been scattered by the rebels. Fortunately, they used to train, so the casualties were not very large. A lot of people have fled, and they are all lining up again, and they are now rushing to Jinling. ”

Is it?

That's great news.

But......

After all these days, why can't they come back?

Gu Zizhong had this question.

Jia Ding was also puzzled, but he guessed: "Maybe the soldiers are unwilling to bring rumors to General Zhu." After all, people are terrible. ”

Yes, as soon as the army was defeated, they all consciously went to find Zhu Changxi.

Then these soldiers' loyalty to Zhu Changxi even exceeded that of the imperial court.

It's horrible.

Can the emperor rest assured?

So maybe that's why the soldiers didn't come back.

I don't know where they are now.

Jia Ding told Gu Zizhong that the eyeliner she sent out hadn't found them since the last time she met with the people in the barracks.

Maybe they are shooting a different place, and they are fighting guerrilla warfare against the rebels in the mountains at this time.

Maybe that's for sure.

But it's all no news.

Zhenguo Gong stayed at home for many days, and finally came out to speak.

He always put on a very hidden appearance, as if he looked powerful.

Gu Zizhong was disgusted with him, and he hid it at the critical moment, what is this for!

Zhenguo Gong and Zhu Changxi talked, and then Zhu Changxi went out very calmly.

As for what the father and son talked about, no one knows this.

Zhu Changxi didn't say anything, and Gu Zizhong was even more embarrassed to ask.

After another three days, the Dragon Boat Festival has passed, and the people of Jiangsu are not happy.

Because most of the men in the Jinling barracks are from the local area.

Now that the life and death of the people in the barracks are uncertain, and their children do not know whether they are dead or alive, can the people be happy?

On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Dragon Boat Festival, the result was bad news.

This news hit people too hard, and many people said they couldn't accept it.

So the people in Jiangsu, and even Zhejiang, plus the two lakes, are very depressed.

Zhu Changxi has also been annoyed recently.

Gu Zizhong was even more annoyed, she always wanted to act as the person who delivered the message, but Zhu Changxi just ignored her.

She went to find her brother, who was also embarrassed, and his expression seemed to be very uncomfortable.

Everybody's selling.

As for it, how many little secrets are hidden in my heart.

She simply didn't ask.

Fortunately, she did a good job of intelligence.

Because the eyeliner she sent out came back, saying that the people from the Jinling barracks had found it, and temporarily found 20,000 people, all of whom left Jiangnan and entered Sichuan and Shu.

It's a good place to hide. Since King Kang Mian died of illness, no one has taken care of that place.

That's the good news.

Gu Zizhong didn't want to sell Guan Zi anymore, so he directly told the news to Brother Zishan.

After hearing this, Zhu Changxi naturally jumped up happily.

But what about the 70,000 or 80,000 people in the barracks, and what about the rest?

Zhu Changxi fell into trouble again.

He also told Gu Zizhong that the original general who led the troops had now been punished by himself.
