"Have all of our people withdrawn?" Xuanhui asked with a solemn face. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu Sheng said: "These two thousand cavalry and the Fujian rebels were in close hands, and the enemy's artillery fire was fierce, and about half of them were lost. Half of the remaining 20,000 people in the camp have been evacuated. ”

"How long does it take to get from Jingjiang to Jinling?"

"If you take a boat, you will be there in two days. However, our army only saw more than 10,000 pretending to be Japanese robbers, and the large army of the Wang family should still be behind. In any case, they should be in the city within four or five days. ”

What she had been worried about for a long time was finally about to happen, and Xuan Hui was unexpectedly calm. "Speed up and withdraw all the soldiers into the city, and the four gates of Jinling City, southeast, northwest, and northwest must be guarded by reliable people. Back then, it was because of Xu Siqi, a traitor, that the capital fell so quickly. Jinling was besieged this time, and there must be no such mistakes again. ”

Xu Sheng got up, and Xuanhui said again: "You know better than me about the deployment of artillery and firearms, and everything depends on General Xu!" Xuan Hui thanked you first! ”

She got up and saluted Xu Sheng. Xu Sheng hurriedly bowed: "This is the responsibility of subordinates, don't be like this, princess!" In public and private, his subordinates will guard Jinling City wholeheartedly, please rest assured that the princess! ”

While the two were talking, a maid outside hurriedly came to report: "Princess, Lord Xiao Meng has something important." ”

Xuanhui was shocked, Pei Minzhong? Wang Yu?

"Come in, please!"

After Meng Shiyi came in, he hurriedly saluted Xuanhui and Xu Sheng, and said: "Princess, rumors suddenly spread in the city today, saying that the prince and the prince left Jinling City, ran to the north, and let the Japanese robbers make trouble in the south!" What's more, it is said that the prince has negotiated peace with the Japanese Kou, and the current Guogong Mansion and the Royal Mansion are two empty mansions, and the masters have already run away! ”

Xuanhui was furious, and took the case: "Why are there such rumors? Check, go check it for me! ”

Meng Shiyi hurriedly knelt down and said, "The princess is angry!" Wechen has sent people to appease people in various teahouses and wine shops, and the source of the rumors is being investigated. ”

Xuanhui waved his hand to get him up and pondered for a moment. The enemy army may arrive at any time, and at this time in Jinling, the stability of the people's hearts is more important than everything. If people's hearts are in turmoil, it is only a matter of time before the city is broken.

"Lord Meng, General Xu, please go and make arrangements, the princess and I will go to the drum tower in the afternoon to see the people of Jinling."

"This ......" Xu Sheng and Meng Shiyi looked at each other, both feeling a little embarrassed.

First of all, there is a matter of etiquette, and the ancient women try to avoid showing their heads. This is even more true for royal ladies like Yang Yunshu and Xuanhui, and there is absolutely no reason to go to the city tower to see the people.

Secondly, since such rumors have spread in the city, it is enough to indicate that the city is mixed with the work of the enemy. If the guards were not properly guarded, a cold arrow came and injured either of the two, and they would not be able to explain to Liang Zhan. And the resulting confusion in people's hearts was enough to overturn Jinling City.

Moreover, Yang Yunshu and Xuanhui are both pregnant, Yang Yunshu may give birth at any time, and Xuanhui is the child that the Pei family has been looking forward to for a long time. What if you hurt an adult or a child?

Xuan Hui looked at the tangled expressions on the faces of the two and said with a smile: "I also know your concerns. However, is there a more effective way than me and the princess to come forward? ”

Xu and Meng were silent. After a while, Xu Sheng said: "That subordinate went to prepare, and told the princess when everything was ready." ”

Meng Shiyi said: "Princess, then I'll stay by your side." Although I haven't practiced martial arts, I can still be an errand bearer. ”

Xuan Hui smiled: "Lord Xiao Meng has a heart. ”

She turned around and instructed Jingyun: "Auntie, let's go to the palace to invite my sister-in-law." ”

Jingyun looked at Xuanhui distressedly. It is really good to say that this princess has a good life. Since he was a child, he has been the pearl of Emperor Yuanhe, and he married a good husband like Pei Minzhong, who knows cold and hot. But it is also true that the fate is unfortunate, and both parents died before they could die, and the family and country were in chaos. Now that I'm finally pregnant, I still have to work like a man for such a big thing.

"The slave will go and find you a pair of soft-soled shoes, and I'm afraid I'll have to stand on the castle tower for a while." Jingyun wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and turned to enter the inner room.

Meng Shiyi felt that it was inconvenient for him to stay in the main room, so he said goodbye and waited in the corridor.

"Brother, why are you here?" Meng Tingfang's voice came from behind him.

Meng Shiyi turned around and saw Meng Tingfang, Pei Xuanye and another woman about to go to the main room.

"The princess is going to the drum tower to see the people later, don't bother."

"Brother Meng, what's wrong?" Pei Xuanye asked.

Meng Shiyi thought for a moment and felt that it was better to tell them. “…… Therefore, Jinling may be besieged soon, and the princess is going to the city tower now to appease people's hearts. ”

To his surprise, none of the three little girls showed a look of fear. Pei Xuanye even said indignantly: "Let's go with my sister-in-law too!" It was too much to say that all the people in the Guogong Mansion had run out! ”

Meng Shiyi held his forehead and said helplessly: "I told you that I don't want you to panic, I don't want you to cause trouble......

Pei Xuan said angrily: "Brother Meng, it's too hurtful for you to talk like this!" Why are we going to add to the chaos? I just want to share some of it for my sister-in-law! ”

Meng Shiyi said mercilessly: "You go, in addition to dividing some guards to protect you, what is the use?" One is the daughter of the prefect of Jinling, with her father going, no one cares if you go to Tingfang or not. One is the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion, but since the princess has gone, it doesn't make much difference whether you go or not. One is ......"

He looked at the girl in front of him, and he only felt a little familiar, but he didn't know who it was.

"Pei Shuangxi has seen Master Meng. I'm Xuanye's cousin. Pei Shuangxi bent his knees and saluted Meng Shiyi.

It turned out that this was Pei Shuangxi. Meng Shiyi couldn't help but look at her twice, slim and elegant, as quiet as water, like a magnolia flower that was about to bloom.

"Brother, you're rude!" Meng Tingfang said with a smile.

Meng Shiyi came back to her senses and hurriedly returned the salute to Pei Shuangxi. He coughed twice as he pretended to be calm, but the roots of his ears slowly turned red.

"Anyway, you can't go, stay in the Guogong Mansion."

Pei Xuanye was a little angry, and when he wanted to say more, Pei Shuangxi persuaded: "What Master Meng said is very reasonable. Let's go over, they still have to be distracted and take care of it, the people in the city only care about whether the princess and princess are still there, we are really inconsequential people. ”

At this time, Xuanhui changed his clothes and came out, and when he heard this, he smiled and said: "Shuangxi is right, you just stay at home, don't forget that Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Guo and Mao'er all rely on you to take care of it!" ”

Pei Xuan said angrily: "Sister-in-law! ”

Xuanhui Zhengse said: "Xuanye, now is not the time to be willful. You take care of your home more than anything else, you know? ”
