Chapter 267: The Heart Is Panicking
Three days later, the capital was lively early in the morning.
The salute rang out again and again, as if it were a festival.
The people stood on both sides of the road, waiting to see the great army.
They heard that the emperor had sealed the Jin King Zhenbei General, led an army of 100,000 to the north to conquer Xuzhou, and recovered the lost land, which was already desperate, and seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and they all hoped that the King of Jin could return triumphantly.
The salute has been completed, and as soon as the hour arrives, Rong Wei will come on a golden horse.
Originally, Rong Wei was burly, but after putting on the armor, he became even more majestic.
The people standing on the sidelines couldn't help but marvel at the appearance of King Jin and shouted "Thousand years old, thousands of years old".
Just when the people were shouting, suddenly a shrill voice broke through the air, as if it was about to pierce everyone's eardrums.
"The emperor has arrivedβ"
It's just that I only heard its voice, but I haven't seen a human figure yet.
The onlookers craned their necks like frightened ducks and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
After a while, the bright yellow Luan drove slowly came into people's eyes.
For a while, there was a slight commotion in the crowd,
"The emperor is here."
"I really didn't expect the emperor to come back."
"It seems that the emperor is still determined to sweep away the rebellion."
"It's good that the emperor is here."
"As long as the emperor is determined, what are we afraid of."
"That's it, the emperor is still in Jianye and hasn't left, so we don't have to go, and we are not as rich as those big families, so why move south."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Wait for Rong Ye's Luan to slowly approach. The people on both sides of the road knelt on the ground one after another, and the mountains shouted "Long live".
Rong Wei didn't expect the emperor to come to see him off in person, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, he looked at the sky, restrained the expression on his face, and dismounted to salute Rong Ye.
I didn't expect a person to be in the crowd.
He wore a short hat of coarse cloth, and wore a hat on his head that shaded the sun, and under the hat was a stunning face, and his facial features were delicate and heroic. He was followed by two men. Uh, too, in the outfit, but slightly taller than him.
"Shizi? Shall we do it when he returns to the palace? A man behind him whispered in his ear.
He shook his head lightly and said, "No need. This matter is not after our plans. Rush action. Not only will it be difficult to succeed, but it will also expose our power, and it will not be able to contain Rong Yi. β
He said. He slowly retreated and gradually disappeared into the sea of people.
Rong Ye held De'an's hand, walked down step by step from Luan's car, helped Rong Wei's shoulder, and ordered him to get up, and then De'an dragged a tray and poured: "Brother Huang is going to be in danger, drink this cup of Zhuangxing wine, and I am waiting for your triumphant return." β
Rong Qi once again knelt on one knee to thank him.
Rong Ye stood on the Luan driver, glanced at the people present, and said with an excited expression: "The people of the Han Dynasty present, the rebellion of King Yan has brought an unprecedented impact on our dynasty, but I believe that evil does not prevail over good, as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to sweep away the rebellion and restore the peace and well-being of the people, I have this confidence, do you have it?" β
The people present, driven by Rong Ye's affection, all shouted in unison: "Yes! β
"Sweep away the rebellion and restore my peace!" Rong Ye stood on Luan's car, raised his arms and shouted, and the people responded one after another, shouting: "Sweep away the rebellion and return me to peace!" β
Rong Wei walked out of the north gate amid the shouts of the people in the capital and led the crowd towards Xuzhou.
He knew in his heart that in order to win the war, it would not be enough to just shout a few slogans, not only to have good soldiers but also to have enough food.

Liu Ke, who was still trapped in the Jin Palace, heard that Rong Yang had left the capital, and there was no trace of relief in his heart.
Because, she found that the guards of the Jin Palace's Mansion were also stricter than when the King of Jin was there, and it was almost half an hour before someone patrolled the whole mansion.
But Liu Ke didn't give up, she still released her homemade Kong Ming lantern into the air every night.
No matter where these Kong Ming lanterns fly, they can always bring her little hope.
There would still be screams coming from next door, and Liu Ke felt that the Li family should die soon.
She doesn't know much about Rong Wei, but with Li's fate, in her heart, Rong Wei is not a good person.
Every day in the Jin Palace, Liu Ke was thinking of a way to escape, but after more than ten days, he always came up with it.
"King Jin is not at home, who is in charge of the affairs of the house?" Liu Ke said to Yuanxin, who was waiting by his side.
Yuanxin hesitated for a moment and said, "Does the noble man have anything to do?" The slave or maid can go and ask the steward if it is okay. β
Liu Ke saw that she didn't want to say, so she didn't ask again.
At this moment, Fang Qing suddenly broke in from outside in a panic: "Sister Yuanxin, what should we do?" β
Yuanxin glanced at her disdainfully and said, "What should I do?" The sky fell? β
Fang Qing nodded heavily, her eyes were red, tears almost burst out of her eyes, ignoring Liu Ke's absence, she said directly to Yuanxin: "It's just that the sky is falling, when I went to the street just now, the outside was already chaotic, and people everywhere were panicking, everyone was trying to figure out where to escape?" Almost all the big families in the capital are moving out, and even the families whose families are officials in the court have begun to transfer their families, what should we do? β
After hearing this, Yuanxin also panicked, "Why, didn't King Jin lead an army of 100,000 to sweep away the rebellion?" Could it be that the prince lost the battle? β
After Liu Ke heard this, she just smiled coldly and didn't speak, she slowly walked to the table outside and read the book.
When Yuanxin and Fang Qing saw it, they couldn't help but glance at Liu Ke silently.
Yuye saw that Liu Ke was still as calm and relaxed as usual, so he didn't panic like Yuanxin and Fangqing, but just stood quietly behind Liu Ke.
Yuanxin and Fang Qing felt strange in their hearts when they saw that the master and servant were so calm, and suddenly remembered Rong Yang's request when he left - "No matter what happens, take good care of her, don't let her out of the Jin Palace."
She walked up to Liu Ke and asked bluntly, "Aren't you afraid?" β
Liu Ke saw and asked, "What are you afraid of?" β
"I'm afraid that the day the city will be broken, we will all have five lives!" The round core is a matter of course.
"It turns out that you don't believe in your lord so much." Liu Ke said with a smile.
After listening to Liu Ke's words, Yuanxin and Fang Qing were speechless.
After a long while, Yuanxin said: "It's not that we don't believe in our prince, it's just that the outside is messed up like that, there must be a reason." β
Liu Ke raised his face slightly, looked at Yuanxin and Fangqing with a smile, and said, "I'll analyze the reason for you, I don't know if you want to hear it?" β
Yuanxin and Fangqing always felt that Liu Ke was different from the nobles who were brought into the mansion by King Jin before, so they unanimously said, "I want to hear it." β
Liu Ke slowly stood up and said slowly: "The 100,000 army sounds very mighty, but if you want to make this 100,000 army invincible, not only do you have a wise commander, but you also need to solve the most basic problem, that is, their food problem, if their stomachs can't be filled, what strength do they have to fight with the enemy."
Therefore, the supply of grain and grass for this 100,000-strong army is a big problem. Although the Han Dynasty has gone through three generations, but over the years, Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong have adopted a policy of resting with the people, it is conceivable that the treasury will definitely not be rich, let alone storing grain, if you prepare a month's food for the 100,000 army, a soldier has a pound of grain a day, a day is 100,000 catties, and 30 days is 3 million catties.
This is to be optimistic, if the grain transportation route is known to the Beiyan sergeants, they send people to rob these grains? So what will happen to this 100,000 army? β
After Liu Ke said this, Yuanxin and Fang Qing couldn't help but look at Liu Ke with wide eyes.
It was the first time they had heard a woman in the general's analysis of the head of the matter.
At this time, I only heard Liu Ke continue: "If the imperial court does not take out grain and grass, then this 100,000 army will not be warriors to conquer the north, but a moth that will plague the people." They will do everything they can to fill their stomachs. Then the people around the capital were afflicted. If the soldiers of the court become robbers who bully the people, then the confidence that the people have just inspired will instantly turn into extreme disappointment and hatred for the court. β
After hearing this, Fang Qing was completely impressed by Liu Ke, and was even more stunned by the scene she analyzed, "Then with the meaning of the nobles, isn't the capital of our Han Dynasty about to be occupied by Beiyan, and our prince will definitely be defeated." β
After she finished speaking, her face turned pale, as if she had difficulty breathing.
Even the normally calm round core panicked.
She didn't say anything and hurried out the door.
When Fang Qing saw her go out, she also turned around and chased after her: "Sister Yuanxin, where are you going?" What are we going to do? β
Seeing Yuanxin and Fang Qing go out of the room one after the other, Yuye couldn't help but bow down and whisper to Liu Ke: "Master, is this capital really occupied by King Yan, can we take advantage of the chaos to escape." β
Liu Ke, who was still talking eloquently just now, put away the gloating look on his face just now, and said with a heavy face: "I don't know, I only know that if the capital is occupied by King Yan, our situation will be even more difficult." β
She hadn't forgotten what Rong Shuo had said when she met her for the last time.
What Rong Shuo said at that time was definitely not a momentary speech, maybe at this time, he was practicing what he said.
After listening to Liu Ke's words, Yuye couldn't help but get nervous, and asked hurriedly, "Master, what should we do then?" β
"We must escape from the Jin Palace, before the city is broken." Liu Ke said and tightened his hands. (To be continued......)
