1782 Is It Your Man?
I only felt that my heart jumped suddenly, and Pei Yuanxiu, he had experienced so many winds and waves, and he could even face it calmly when he heard that Huai'an Mansion had been taken, but when he heard this, his brows suddenly twisted, and his face also 'revealed' a trace of consternation that could not be concealed: "What did you say?!"
Han Zitong bit his lower lip, and his face was somewhat painful: "Yangzhou, it may have also been captured." , the latest chapter access: Π¨Π¨Π¨.79xs.Π‘ΠΎΠ . β
"What?!"
Pei Yuanxiu couldn't believe his ears, stared at her with wide eyes, and took a deep breath after a while: "What's the matter?"
Han Zitong took a deep breath, and then said: "When I left Huai'an, I received a message that the current situation in Yangzhou is also very critical, and it may be ......."
Pei Yuanxiu's face immediately sank.
He understands the significance of these news in the army, if the news is that there is a war, then the situation may already be very dangerous, but now Han Zitong said that the news she received has reached a "very critical" juncture, so it is almost certain that Yangzhou City has already been taken.
Pei Yuanxiu's face changed suddenly.
He said, "Is it Xichuan's army?"
ββ¦β¦ Be. β
When he said this, Han Zitong's eyes flickered slightly.
I could feel that the corners of her eyes were hanging on me sitting next to me, but she didn't look at me directly, and when she said the word "Xichuan", Pei Yuanxiu's own voice was also a little hoarse.
Han Zitong retracted her gaze, looked up at Pei Yuanxiu again, and said, "It is indeed Xichuan's men and horses, they suddenly appeared, and the west of the city began to attack, and the momentum is very fierce. β
I saw traces of gritted teeth on Pei Yuanxiu's face.
He said in a deep voice: "Xi-Chuan-"
ββ¦β¦β
"I know that there are people in Xichuan who have been keeping an eye on Yangzhou, and I also know that their men and horses have been circling around there, but the soldiers and horses I left in Yangzhou have been calculated. No matter what, Yangzhou should not be lost in such a short period of time!"
"Yuan Xiu-" Han Zitong interrupted him, his voice trembling a little: "It's not just Xichuan who sent troops. β
"What?"
"It was the two armies that attacked Yangzhou. β
"Two armies?"
"That's right. This time it was not only Xichuan's army, but they also gathered a group of men and horses, which came down from the Jiujiang side, and the speed was very fast, and the Yangzhou side could not be guarded, so the situation would be so critical. I've written back to Jinling to figure it out, butβ"
ββ¦β¦β
She didn't finish her sentence.
In fact, at this time, they were already in the north, and if anything happened to the south of the Yangtze River, even if they could know about it, it would already be out of their control.
This time, Pei Yuanxiu didn't speak again.
The hand I was holding on to the armrest of the chair, and there was a little cold sweat in my palm, and I felt a little unsteady, but I still used a little strength to make myself sit more firmly in the chair.
After a while, I heard Pei Yuanxiu let out a long breath and said, "I know." β
Han Zitong looked at him: "Yuan Xiu ......?"
She probably still wanted to come up with a little way with him, but in fact, no matter what way they came up with at this time, unless they mobilized more troops to go south and regain Yangzhou and Huai'an, this time, these two important towns in the south of the Yangtze River would be completely lost, but Pei Yuanxiu didn't react, just after another period of silence, he said softly: "I know." β
Han Zitong didn't speak again.
She watched him turn around and walk out, and after a while, Song Huaiyi and the others walked in.
Since it is the 'daughter' of the king of Jiangxia and the sister of Han Ruoshi, the arrival of Han Zitong is still a major event that makes them shine, and today's opening of Cangzhou City is a great joy, Song Huaiyi immediately asked people to go down to prepare a banquet for Han Zitong to wash the dust.
After a while, two maids came to pick her up and go down to rest first.
Then, Pei Yuanxiu walked up to me and said in a deep voice, "I'll send you back to rest." β
I glanced up at him, didn't say anything, and with a little more strength in my hands, I stood up with the armrest.
When they walked out, they saw that the Cui family's father and son, as well as Song Mi and Song Xuan, were outside, they should not know what news Han Zitong brought, but they must have a lot to discuss with Pei Yuanxiu about today's Cangzhou City, especially the question of how to go next.
Seeing me walk out, Song Xuan only glanced at me and didn't say anything, while I slowly walked past them.
When I returned to my room, I felt a burst of hot sweat gushing out of my back as soon as I stepped into the room.
As soon as I stood still, I heard the sound of the 'door' shutting behind me.
I didn't look back, I could hear Pei Yuanxiu's breathing, and the undisguised heaviness had already 'exposed' all the torment in his heart at the moment.
Without waiting for me to make any preparations, he spoke directly behind him: "Is it your man?"
I didn't look back, nor did I think much about it, so I said directly: "The people of Xichuan are, of course, my people. β
"I mean, the team in Jiujiang. β
ββ¦β¦β
"At the beginning, they held Li'er hostage, and it was you who entered the Crouching Tiger Village alone to save Li'er and Ruoshi, and later, the Crouching Tiger Village was destroyed, and those people scattered, and the people who held you hostage also left you alive and fled. β
ββ¦β¦β
"Where did they flee?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Who are they?"
Although he rescued me from Crouching Tiger Village back then, it can be described as a life of nine deaths, which was very thrilling, but after that, he didn't dwell too much on this matter, probably really believed that it was just a nest of greedy mountain bandits, plus Shen Xiaokun listened to my words, reluctantly gave up Crouching Tiger Village, and also cut off the clues they could investigate, so he let go of this introduction.
But now, a piece of news reminded him of everything that was wrong at the beginning.
I was silent for a moment, then slowly turned to look at him and said calmly, "Do you remember Shin Gongji?"
His eyes flashed.
I smiled: "Such an important person, no matter what, should not be forgotten." β
ββ¦β¦β
"This patriarch of the court, he was originally proud of his achievements, and he was not able to live for a lifetime, but later you were moved, and he even wanted to rebel in the Juma River Valley, but although his power was very strong, he was very secret, and finally ended up defeated and died. β
ββ¦β¦β
"And you, taking advantage of Pei Yuanhao's all-out efforts to eradicate the Shen family, relaxed the opportunity to control Jiangnan, and took the six provinces of Jiangnan. β
He looked at me, his eyes narrowing slightly, "So whatβ"
I said: "The person who kidnapped me in Crouching Tiger Village was Shen Gongyun's nephew, Shen Xiaokun. βq
