Chapter 329: Encirclement
Jingyun reminded in a low voice: "Say a thousand ways and ten thousand, these two always know that Li Ruolan is fake, this is a big crime of bullying the king before, and there are people who rob their families and destroy their clans......"
Xuanhui said sullenly: "The third brother is a good person, and it is because of his affection, and Lai is also because of this." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoWho knows what he's going to do with these two people, I'll just ask the ins and outs and wait for him to come back and take care of this mess by himself! ”
She was just about to lift her skirt and go to the room where Ting Mei was being held, when Jingyun persuaded: "It's been a busy afternoon, you go back to eat first, take a nap, and it's not too late to ask when you wake up!" The horizontal and vertical people will not run again! ”
Xuan Hui was hesitating, but there was a low horn sound outside, and there was a faint drum sound. The sound of the horn was long and short, disturbing people's hearts.
Xuan Hui asked the guard beside him, "What message is this horn transmitting?" ”
The guard said in a deep voice: "Princess, I am afraid that the enemy army will come to the city. ”
It's finally here......
Rather than panicking, Xuan Hui felt more like a sigh of relief. It's as if the enemy who has been hiding in the fog has appeared, and although the fight is just around the corner, there is no need to worry about whether the enemy will suddenly jump out of a corner and give you a blow.
"You interrogate Tingmei first and see if you can come up with some words. Tell someone to prepare a sedan chair, and I'll go to the city wall to have a look. Xuanhui hurriedly walked towards the gate and commanded.
Jingyun was so anxious that he stomped his feet, but he also knew that he couldn't resist this master, so he had to grab a little maid to inform Yuan Xiang to send the cloak to the city wall.
As soon as the group reached the main gate of the Guogong Mansion, a soldier came outside who was flying on a horse to report the news. "The little one came to inform the princess on the order of General Xu that there were about 10,000 enemy troops outside, and it was the group of people who were pretending to be Japanese in Jingjiang a few days ago. They landed from Xiaguan and are now gathering two or three miles in front of Zhengyang Gate. ”
Xuanhui turned around and instructed the people of the Guogong Mansion: "Go inside and tell Mrs. Tai, Mrs. and Princess, find someone who can speak, speak slowly, don't startle them." ”
After speaking, she got into the prepared sedan chair and hurried to Zhengyang Gate.
At the end of April, it is a good time for spring to shine. Xuanhui stood on the tower of Zhengyangmen City, and his face was greeted by the warm wind and the sweet smell of grass. On both sides of the official road winding out of the city gate, there were no children's paper kites flying, only a black and oppressive enemy army. A man rode a tall horse around in front of the army, as if he was talking something.
Xu Sheng looked at it with clairvoyance for a while, and said: "This person is not Wang Yiming, the eldest son of Wang Qujiang, I am afraid that these people are just the vanguard, and Wang Yiming should still be behind." ”
Meng Ye asked, "Their formation...... Is it going to start the siege? ”
Xu Sheng shook his head and said, "It's not like it." They have traveled thousands of miles to come here, and we have stubbornly defended the city, just to wait for work, which is a taboo for marching and fighting. Moreover, Zhengyang Gate is the main gate of Jinling City, with one layer of outer urn city, two layers of inner urn city, and a total of four layers of city wall inside and outside. Anyone who has some experience will not choose to attack the city here. ”
Meng Ye said respectfully: "Princess, at the beginning of April, the prince has captured the Zhending Mansion, and I am afraid that he has already arrived in the capital at this moment, should we send a message to the prince?" ”
Xuanhui was a little hesitant, if Liang Zan received the letter at the critical juncture of attacking the capital, what should it be?
Meng Ye hurriedly said: "Princess, if it is delayed, when the enemy's army arrives, Jinling City is surrounded on all sides, and if you want to pass the message, I am afraid that it will be difficult!" ”
Xu Sheng also nodded and said, "What Lord Meng said is extremely true. Besides, we are only responsible for delivering the message to the prince, and it is still the prince who makes the decision. To put it mildly, for the prince now, Jinling is more important than the capital. I hope the princess will make a decision as soon as possible. ”
At this moment, Xuanhui's heart was in turmoil, what she was sure of was just the story of her previous life, Jinling City was surrounded by the Wangqu River for several months but did not fall. But in the past and present lives, after all, there are many things that are different......
Finally, she nodded slowly: "Then you send someone to deliver the news, tell the third brother the truth about the situation in Jinling, and see how he decides." ”
Meng Shiyi, who was standing on the side, obeyed the order and hurried down to write the military report.
Xuanhui smiled at Xu and Meng: "...... Then I'll come back tomorrow. The two adults don't have to work too hard, take care of their bodies, take care of their spirits, and wait for the enemy army to come before they can lead the troops to resist the enemy, right? ”
Xu Sheng glanced at her stomach, and felt very uncomfortable. It's the first grandchild of Grandpa Guo, how can he work so hard with his mother before he was born?
But when Xuanhui came up to the city tower, the mood of the soldiers defending the city was obviously lifted. With the princess here, morale will be higher......
He hesitated, and did not say anything to persuade Xuanhui to stay in the Guogong Mansion to rest.
*
Since that day, the Wang family's army has arrived at Jinling City one after another. After the Dragon Boat Festival, the enemy army surrounded Jinling City. After a few days, the enemy forces outside the city had changed from two to three layers, and it was almost impossible to break through.
Looking at the dense soldiers under the city, even if Xuanhui is a human being, she is still only a woman in her early twenties, where has she ever seen such a scene! She began to be a little glad that she had passed on the news earlier, otherwise if this matter changed in this life, how could she be worthy of the people of Jinling City!
The less certainty in my heart, the more fragility. But so many people are looking at themselves, seeing themselves as pillars and dependents, how can such emotions be revealed?
Xuanhui gritted his teeth, still smiling day after day, and patrolling the city wall lightly.
When she returned to the Guogong Mansion, she first went to the East Cross Courtyard to see Yang Yunshu, and had dinner with Mrs. Meng, who accompanied her to give birth, and then returned to her courtyard to rest.
The Guogong Mansion and the outside seem to be two worlds, and the streets in Jinling City are deserted, and most of the shops are closed. The maids of the Guogong Mansion are still taking advantage of the fine weather to dry their clothes and bedding.
Yuan Xiang and Cai Wei commanded the little girls to bring in the clothes that were drying outside, folded them one by one, and still put them back in the box.
Xuanhui walked over, looked at the box full of Pei Minzhong's clothes, squatted down and inserted his hands in. The clothes inside still have the residual temperature after the sun, and there is a faint smell of camphor in the box, which is very homely and humanly fireworks.
But where are you? Can Rong really find you? Have you heard that Jinling is under siege? Do you know I miss you?
Suddenly, before Xuanhui could even feel heartache, tears rolled down his clothes. She cried and pulled out a white silk undershirt from Pei Minzhong's suitcase, preparing to wear it to bed at night.
"Princess Qiyu," the little girl who was guarding outside said breathlessly, "There are guards outside, saying that Ting Mei knows the whereabouts of the prince!" ”
