King Jing's army arrived as scheduled, and Tang Zhi was drinking tea with Wu Zhitian under a pavilion in Wu Zhitian's harem.

The surroundings were full of palace maids and eunuchs.

"Newspaper~"

The voice came again in the distance.

Because of Wu Zhitian's advance explanation, the guards were able to enter Wu Zhitian's harem, and when the guards saw a group of palace maids who were warblers and Yanyan, they hurriedly bowed their heads, not daring to look at them, and then half-knelt in front of the Yunxiao Palace, and raised their voices: "Empress Qiqi, the front line is urgent!"

Wu Zhitian: "Read." ”

The guards were stunned, these were all military secrets, and there had never been a precedent for reading them in front of outsiders before.

But the empress's order could not be violated, so he opened the envelope and read aloud: "The prison has been broken, King Jing's army has reached a hundred miles away, and it will arrive at the imperial capital Tiannu City in two hours at the latest." ”

Wu Zhitian replied lightly: "Got it." ”

Guard: "General Winter asked the marshal, millions of refugees are coming from the west, fleeing to the imperial city like a tide, what to do?"

Wu Zhitian: "Let her watch it." ”

The guard was stunned and answered, "Yes." ”

Then he bowed his head and hurriedly retreated.

And when the palace maids, eunuchs, and concubines here heard the latest battle report, they looked at each other and immediately became chaotic.

No one wants to die, everyone wants to live, everyone wants to run, but no one can run.

The palace maids and eunuchs had their brains spinning quickly, and they rushed to the pavilion where Empress Wu Zhitian was one by one, and shouted.

"Your Royal Highness, King Jing's army is menacing, and it is the best policy to retreat first, and then slowly follow suit. ”

"Your Royal Highness, for the sake of the slave family who has been serving you wholeheartedly, let the slave family have a way to live. ”

"Your Royal Highness, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the crown prince... After leaving the Imperial City, let's go and join the main army of the Martial God Kingdom, and it will not be too late to recapture the Imperial Capital. ”

"Her Royal Highness ...... the Queen"

Voices come and go.

King Jing's army arrived in the imperial capital in two hours, what does it mean?

Everyone present understands.

This is the coming of purgatory on earth.

At this time, the only one who could escape with them in advance was Her Royal Highness the Empress.

The palace maids wept, the eunuchs panicked, and the guards were terrified......

Wu Zhitian stood up suddenly, wearing a yellow imperial robe with a phoenix pattern without wind and automatic, and a black aura gathered around him.

"I'm tired of it, follow me to the Martial God Temple. Wu Zhitian said to Tang Zhi.

Wu Zhitian's figure was full of oppressive power, so that everyone who was going to speak again didn't dare to say any more, and could only watch the empress and Tang Zhi walk out of the harem.

......

When they arrived at the Martial God Hall, only Wu Zhitian and Tang Zhi were left, as well as Chunyu and Xia Zhu.

Wu Zhitian: "I'm hungry. ”

Chunyu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, what do you want to eat?"

Wu Zhitian: "Spring rain makes mutton casserole balls." Mahjong baked cakes made by Xia Zhu. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Chunyu retreated with Xia Zhu.

"Wait. ”

"Huh?"

"Put less salt in the casserole, I'm afraid that I want to drink water in the middle of the fight. ”

Chunyu smiled and said gently, "Okay, Your Majesty." ”

As soon as the spring rain left, the battle report from the front line came again.

"Report ~~~ Empress Qi, refugees poured into the imperial capital, and now the people of the whole city know that King Jing's army is so late, it is too late to escape, and some of the young people in the people also volunteered to help defend the city, General Dong has done a special job, and has distributed weapons to them. ”

Wu Zhitianyun said lightly: "I know, I'll report later." ”

"Yes, Her Highness!"

It was getting dark.

Before the dishes of Spring Rain were ready, another elite guard carrying a lantern came from afar.

"Report ~~~ Her Royal Highness the Empress, King Jing's army has appeared thirty miles outside the city, but there are still a lot of refugees, General Dong wants to close the city gate, but many people are questioning whether she wants to lock the remaining refugees outside the city and send them to death, General Dong killed more than a dozen people, and then closed the city gate, but there are still many refugees who cannot enter the city, and those people have begun to abuse under the city. ”

Wu Zhitian said: "I know, report it again." ”

The elite guard hesitated and sighed, "Yes!"

Not long after the guards went down, Chunyu walked in with a mahogany lunch box and Xia Zhu, smiling, Tang Zhi and Wu Zhitian sat opposite each other, took out the mutton casserole balls and some mahjong in the lunch box, and took out two bottles of fine wine.

Wu Zhitian: "Come and taste, I treat the cooking skills of women." The casserole balls of spring rain, the mahjong baked cakes of summer bamboo, the boiled fish of autumn fragrance, and the cold noodles of winter plum are all a must, and they are also my favorites when I was a child. ”

Wu Zhitian said with some loss: "Alas, it's a pity that there is a dish that may not be eaten again." ”

Tang Zhi silently added vegetables, wanting to comfort Wu Zhitian but didn't know how to speak, so in the end he could only choose to be silent.

I have to say that this baked cake and casserole are very delicious, so to speak, this is the baked cake and casserole that Tang Zhi has eaten a lot, but what he is eating now is the most delicious baked cake and casserole he has eaten so far.

The meal was silent.

Halfway through eating.

Hurried footsteps came from outside the hall, accompanied by a sound of "report~~~~"

An elite guard who summoned the message half-knelt in front of the hall, "Her Royal Highness the Empress Qi, King Jing's army... The siege has begun, and General Winter has not yet discovered the Titan Giants, but General Winter said that according to the information, these giants who have infiltrated the Martial God Kingdom are good at hiding, and it is difficult to predict whether they will come to attack the city!"

Wu Zhitian took a sip of the hot soup and took the time to reply: "I know, I'll report it again." ”

The sound of fighting could be faintly heard in the distance, and the entire imperial city was boiling.

In the palace, some of the palace ladies began to burn incense and worship the Buddha, some cried in the palace, and some wanted to escape in the dark but were escorted back by the empress's guards after crying and making a fuss.

Tang Zhi drank the soup quietly, and by the candlelight, he looked up at Wu Zhitian, Wu Zhitian was so calm, even if the heaven and earth were about to collapse, she was still like this, Wu Zhitian's peace made Tang Zhi expect that King Jing would not win this battle.

"Report~~~"

"Her Royal Highness the Empress Qi, King Jing's army stopped attacking the city and set up camp twenty miles away, but one of the other party's generals held Fang Tian's halberd to invite battle under the city, and the five fierce generals in the army went to fight alone, all of them were killed, the other party laughed and left, and the morale in the city was even lower. ”

"Got it, I'll report it again. ”

"Your Highness the Empress, General Winter asked when you were going to the city wall?"

"Tomorrow morning. ”

"Why..."

"Let's go down. ”

"Yes..."

After the guards left, Tang Zhi was puzzled: "The morale of the front line is low, if you show up, it will always make them more excited." ”

"Do you think I should defend the city?"

"And what are you staying here for?"

"Emperor Tang, let me ask you, if this city is defended now, what will happen to me?"

“？”

Tang Zhi looked confused and began to think, he obviously hadn't thought about this question.

Wu Zhitian didn't prepare to wait for his answer, but while drinking, he said quietly: "I said that it is not good for a woman to be an emperor, I have defended the Heavenly Maiden City, everything I have done, no one thinks it is important, no one thinks it is a big deal, the people, the soldiers, everyone thinks that everyone has defended this city together." ”

"Isn't that bad?"

"Not good!"

Tang Zhi: ......

"Whether you think I'm cruel or selfish, but I've never been prepared to defend this city, and I'm not prepared to save anyone, not to let King Jing's army kill people, not to let them despair, not to let this blood flow into a sea, how can they know my importance?"

“...”
