Chapter 194: The Siege
A month has passed in the blink of an eye, the temperature in autumn is getting lower and lower, and the sky is getting later and later, many people are frozen by the colder and colder weather and don't want to come out, and lie in bed all day, but Xie Zhaolin is not like this. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
She got up early, sat by the window and looked at the increasingly bleak scenery outside, sighing uncontrollably.
The emperor died, the decree of succession was empty, the eldest brother had a cold war with her, and he was afraid that the third prince would come to trouble her, and he was even more afraid that she would go out and talk nonsense, so he quietly put her under house arrest.
In the past month, she has hardly been out of this courtyard, but there are so many things that have happened, even if she stays at home like this, these many things have also come to her ears.
These things all hint at the fact that the sky is going to change!
It's going to change, Xie Zhaolin thought silently in his heart, after sending her home, Pei Qiming went back to the north under the pretext of going back to the north, saying that he was going to defend against the barbarian enemy, but in fact, both of them understood in their hearts that resisting the barbarian enemy was fake, and it was true to bring troops to help the prince.
The crown prince had already impatiently given Xia Yuchen the token that Qin Qixiang had given him, and was ready to compete with the queen mother's family behind the third prince Qin Jue.
Counting the time, it's almost time to come back, right? Hopefully he can get this out of the way as soon as possible, and then they'll go to the guy together.
The one who may not have appeared in her prediction, but will appear.
That was her mission this time, or maybe it would be her life's mission this time.
Find that person, stop him, or kill him!
"Miss, do you have bird's nest porridge today, do you want to drink some?" Xie Zhaolin was in a trance, and the voice of red love came from outside, and as for the green warbler, she had been sent out to inquire about the news in the past few days.
Although the eldest brother didn't let her out, he didn't stop the people around her, after all, they were relatives, not enemies.
"Just drink a bowl, it doesn't taste good." Xie Zhaolin said, and Hongqing came in with a bowl of bird's nest porridge.
Xie Zhaolin looked at the steaming bird's nest porridge in the blue and white porcelain bowl, finally settled down, picked up the silver spoon and blew it, and was just about to drink it, when suddenly the panicked voice of the green warbler came from outside.
"Oh no, miss, it's a big deal!" She shouted as she ran inside, causing Red to frown involuntarily.
Xie Zhaolin hurriedly put down the spoon, held the green warbler who almost fell to the ground and asked, "What's wrong?" Something is wrong, speak slowly, don't rush. ”
The green warbler then relieved his breath and said, "The city gate ...... The city gate was closed, and the 20,000 troops of the king of Dingbei pressed the border and wanted to enter the capital, so the city gate was closed. But in this case, it is tantamount to being besieged! ”
The 20,000 army of the king of Dingbei pressed the border! So Pei Qiming has returned? Xie Zhaolin asked again: "Who is the general leading the army?" Do you know? ”
"It seems to be...... Pei ***** Ying hesitated, she, like many ordinary people, didn't know that the king of Dingbei was entrusted by the prince, thinking that he was going to rebel and support himself as the emperor!
"Yes, it's against the Guards." Xie Zhaolin muttered.
……
"Your Highness, your Highness is in a bad situation! The 20,000 troops of the king of Dingbei are overwhelmed, and they vow to compete with the Royal Forest Army! At the same time, in the bedroom of the third prince Qin Jue, someone was in a hurry to report.
Xie Jialin waited for the third prince for a night last night, and her body was still tired, and when she found someone disturbing her, she was immediately angry.
She covered her bare place with a thin quilt slightly, raised her upper body and scolded, "What kind of eyes are you!" Don't you see that His Highness is resting? Get the hell out of here! ”
Her voice was very sharp, and it had already woken up Qin Jue, Qin Jue got up and put on a robe, got out of bed and said to the guard: "The army of the king of Dingbei is pressing? He wants to rebel? Hmph, what a good time! ”
The guard lowered his head, not daring to look at Qin Jue, and said in a trembling voice: "No, Your Highness." The king of Dingbei is not here to rebel, but to help His Royal Highness the Prince! ”
Come and help Qin Yan! Qin Jue's eyes suddenly burst into flames, and he said loudly: "What the hell is going on, you bring them to the palace one by one!" ”
The guards then told him about the situation outside the city, and at the end of the day, he knelt on the ground, not daring to look at Qin Jue's expression.
After hearing this, Qin Jue was silent for a while, and shouted: "Come on, change clothes!" ”
As soon as the words fell, three or two palace maids and eunuchs came to help him dress, and after dressing, he hurriedly prepared to leave.
"Wait, Your Highness, where are you going? What are you going to do? Xie Jialin got up from the collapse and felt very shameless.
Qin Jue only stopped slightly, and said in a cold voice: "You sleep on your sleep, if this matter is handled well, you will be the queen sooner or later!" ”
Now, there are no outsiders in this dormitory, and Qin Jue no longer needs to hide his ambitions.
Out of the palace gate, Qin Jue hurried to the study, where several generals were already waiting, all of whom were on his side, and the leader was General Chen.
When a few people saw Qin Jue, they hurriedly saluted, and then began to talk about the situation.
And every time they said one more word, Qin Jue's brows tightened again, and in the end, they had almost wrinkled into a Sichuan character.
"According to you, although there are not many Imperial Guards in the city, his 20,000 troops are not to be feared, right?" Qin Jue carefully analyzed the situation reported by several people and came to such a conclusion.
"Yes, Your Highness, although we don't have many troops in the city, the king of Dingbei doesn't dare to send too many soldiers to take into account the barbarians in the north, so there is nothing to fear." General Chen said proudly.
If you want to crush them to death with an army of 20,000, you must be brainless!
But Qin Jue obviously thought a little further than him, and he asked rhetorically, "What about your people?" Pay attention to the Lingnan side, and there are not too many soldiers and horses! Besides, according to the news that the palace has gotten, it seems that the south side is more chaotic than the north side recently! ”
General Chen was really asked, he paused, and proposed: "Your Highness, let's deal with the crown prince first, and then it's not too late to deal with the south!" ”
"Nonsense, defend the south first, and then get the prince, that's the right thing, otherwise do you think that once the south is breached, can you still sit in this position in the palace?" Qin Jue was deeply disappointed with General Chen's IQ, and even began to wonder how he had managed to get to his current position.
Could it be that it is completely dependent on the strength of the queen mother and grandfather?
Alas, he originally thought that Qin Yan was a laggard to his supporters, but he really didn't expect that there was a figure like General Chen on his side!
"Your Highness, relying on the 10,000 Imperial Forest Army in the city alone not only does not have an advantage in numbers, but also does not have an advantage in terms of experience!" General Chen worried.
After all, compared to the 20,000 perennial army of the King of Dingbei, the combat experience of the Royal Forest Army is really pitiful!
"You don't have to worry about this, this palace has its own way." Qin Jue remembered his help in the Eagle Pavilion, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a meaningful smile.
