In the end, Chang Xi agreed to Ji Yao's request, so he had to go to Luoyang with Ji Yao's mother first, and then go to them after Ji Yao dealt with the matter here.

When she was leaving, Chang Xi didn't know why, obviously there would be no more danger now, she was still reluctant to part with Ji Yao, she was still very worried about Ji Yao, hugged Ji Yao and cried bitterly before getting into the carriage.

However, Ji Yao never imagined that not long after Chang Xi left Jinling, not even a day, earth-shaking changes would take place in Jinling City.

The prince's deserters turned back at this time, and they caught everyone in Jinling off guard in an instant, and to Ji Yao's amazement, the person who came back with the troops turned out to be King Su!

Nowadays, it can almost be said that there are no generals available in the city, so the emperor had to send Zhou Zilai to deal with the battle, because the prince's people are very familiar with this Jinling City and know where the weakness in the city is, so it is also very difficult for Zhou Zi to come to the battle.

What everyone didn't expect was that things were far worse than what they were looking for, and the prince had dead soldiers in ambush in the city. At this time, the prince rushed out of the East Palace with these dead soldiers, and joined the soldiers outside to force the palace.

The emperor obviously didn't expect such a thing to happen, although he expected it when the crown prince had an accident a few days ago, but he still didn't expect this day to come so quickly and so really.

King Ding was very annoyed at the moment, because his soldiers had just been sent to Jingzhou not long ago, and it would take a lot of time to let those soldiers come back at this moment, and it would take a lot of time for the distant water to save the near fire, which was really annoying.

"Say, what should I do now? The crown prince was obviously premeditated, and he must have planned this matter many months ago, so it could go so smoothly. If we can't deal with it completely, we are afraid that we will ...... in the future."

???? When King Ding said this, he suddenly paused, he shook his head and smiled silently: "Don't say anything about the future, maybe it won't be long before the entire Jinling will undergo earth-shaking changes." The day when the prince succeeded in forcing the palace was the day when the king died without a place to be buried. ”

Hearing King Ding say such words, Liu Xun hurriedly comforted him: "Your Highness, now we are not in a desperate situation, in my opinion, we have General Zhou Zilai, this matter may not be as terrible as His Highness thinks, besides, at the beginning of my deployment of soldiers, there were still some soldiers left near Jinling City." ”

"How many soldiers have you left?" asked King Ding, a little anxiously, obviously he was very anxious about the number of people, and even more very uneasy.

Liu Xun knew that King Ding was very anxious at this time, so he didn't dare to say these numbers directly, because these numbers were really insignificant compared to the rebel troops under the prince.

"Tell me quickly, how many soldiers did you leave behind?" King Ding asked again in a little anxious, and Liu Xun had no way to respond, "Three thousand." ”

King Ding seemed to have heard some unbelievable news, shook his head again and again, and his eyes widened: "What do you say? Three thousand?

King Ding, who was not so desperate at the beginning, was completely desperate after hearing what Liu Xun said.

The prince's soldiers had an absolute advantage in numbers, and when the two sides started a war, it was simply a soft stone, and there was no way to turn the situation back.

After going through so many things and having so many twists and turns, it was the first time for Liu Xun to see King Ding's face so desperate, even in the most difficult time in the past, he had never seen such a King Ding.

Maybe it's because, after mistakenly thinking that he has a complete head start, he encountered such trouble. I guess it's from the clouds and I fell hard into the dirt, so there will be such a gap.

Since Liu Xun has always been in a very calm mood, he was not timid at all at this time, and stepped forward to bow and salute: "Your Highness, I am willing to personally lead the troops to kill from outside the city, and fight with the prince against the thieves! Unless all the soldiers fall, I will definitely not give up killing a few more thieves!"

King Ding, who was originally very desperate, suddenly lit up his eyes after hearing Liu Xun's words, he didn't expect Liu Xun to make such a choice, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.

If it weren't for Liu Xun, he wouldn't have come to this point so quickly, now that something like this has happened, he even wants Liu Xun to serve the country and die on the battlefield, how can he not be heartbroken?

"Ah...... Ah, do you really have to do this? Do you know what the consequences of doing this are? Maybe you'll never be able to ......."

King Ding looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, his eyes were full of pain, but Liu Xun repeated again categorically: "Your Highness, I have decided this matter, and I will never regret it again, I will definitely fight to the last soldier!"

King Ding got up suddenly, excitedly didn't know what to say, because he was too nervous, the whole body shook violently, he pressed Liu Xun's shoulder tightly, his lips trembled again and again, he couldn't say anything, just increased the strength on his shoulder, to show his encouragement.

Liu Xun gritted his teeth and was about to turn around and leave, but just as he turned to leave, he suddenly thought of something, stopped and turned around again, and looked at King Ding: "Your Highness, for so many years, I have never asked you for anything, but today I really have to ask His Highness for something, because if I don't ask for it today, maybe I won't have a chance in the future." ”

Liu Xun's request, King Ding naturally had no way to refuse, he bowed slightly, and said: "You say, no matter what it is, this king will try his best to agree to you." ”

"Actually, there's nothing special, I just hope that His Royal Highness can treat Ji Yao well and not let her suffer any more harm, if she wants to live a stable and prosperous life, please also ask Her Highness to promise her." When Liu Xun thought of Ji Yao, the pain in his heart was a little unbearable, but he didn't want to show it at the moment, he just tried his best to make his tone tend to be calm.

"Hey. King Ding sighed heavily when he heard this, and after a little silence, he spoke, "I promise you that I will definitely do this, and do you have anything else you need me to tell him?"

Liu Xun thought about it, but couldn't say anything, so he could only smile bitterly and shake his head: "No, I just hope she lives well." ”
