Shang Wuchen hurriedly said: "Even if it is an elite soldier, you can say that there are not many of them, and the fortifications of Qingzhou are not bad, how did they enter Qingzhou?" What about the garrison in Qingzhou? ”

Qingzhu held the armrest of the chair hard, and his knuckles were white: "The garrison of Qingzhou has been taken away by General Xue, and there is no one to defend the city at all, and the officials of the county town have already abandoned the city and fled. Saying that, he stood up suddenly: "Xuanjun hasn't come to Qingzhou again until now, are they intending to be in the capital!" ”

Xia Chen and Shang Wuchen thought about the same thing, King Ge had brought the army to Qingzhou. According to Qingzhu's words, they soon left again, but the fact that they did not attack the county town does not mean that they did not plunder elsewhere.

Shang Wuchen thought that King Ge would never do such a thing, especially since he had already known where Xia Chen's grandmother's house was, and there must be a reason for this.

Xia Chen lost her relatives and heard that Yue Feiyun had died in battle, and she was full of grief and indignation, which made her almost lose her mind! She originally planned to find Yue Feiyun first, and then deal with Xuanjun with him, but Yue Feiyun actually died, he was still so young and heroic! And when she learned that the endgame in Qingzhou was actually caused by King Ge leading the troops, her heart churned, and all the hatred was concentrated on him, if King Ge was here now, she would definitely kill him with a knife.

King Ge is different from others in her heart after all, people can often accept strangers to do extremely cruel things, but they can't accept that their relatives and friends are shameless. This is what people often say about the depth of love and responsibility.

Qingzhu found that Xia Chen's face was not good. said: "You must have suffered a lot along the way, I will first let people arrange a place to rest with you." ”

Shang Wuchen was just about to say thank you, when he suddenly heard a shout from outside the door: "My lord." The girl woke up to see you. ”

Qingzhu didn't wait for Xia Chen to ask, and didn't care if they wanted to know or not, he explained with a smile: "There was a girl who fainted outside the city gate in the morning, and I don't know where she came from, I'll take a look." "Let's let Xia Chen take them to rest, and go out of the courtyard first.

Xia Chen arrived at the guest room in the backyard of the county government, and as soon as the servant left, she couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood.

Shang Wuchen hurriedly helped her sit down. I knew in my heart that she was angry and anxious, and she didn't say a word just now, thinking that she didn't want Qingzhu to see anything.

"Chen'er, you should understand unintentional behavior. He would never condone his subordinates to do that kind of thing, didn't we see Xuanjun's corpse along the way. ”

"I don't know anyone." Xia Chen said as he took off his hood, took the water handed by Shang Wuchen and took a sip: "There is no garrison in the state city, so there will naturally be no casualties against the unarmed people." ”

Shang Wuchen sighed: "I think there must be a reason for this, do you remember that the old woman said that two waves of people have been to their house?" ”

Xia Chen nodded: "Of course I remember." I think there is a wave of official bullies who are about to escape. No matter how vicious they are, they will not slaughter a few villages. ”

Shang Wuchen was speechless: "You sleep well first, I have no intention of asking directly about this matter when I go back." ”

Xia Chen closed his eyes: "You can rest for a while, I'm fine." ”

Lying down at night and listening to the wind and rain, the iron horse and the glacier fell into a dream. In the early morning, Xia Chen pushed open the door, and a cold wind blew in his face, mixed with a little rain and stars. It's obviously spring, but it has a sense of depression like autumn.

She asked a servant to come to the courtyard where Qingzhu lived, and the courtyard guard pointed forward: "The army has gone to that courtyard." ”

Xia Chen thanked him and came to the courtyard that the nursing home was referring to. I saw Qingzhu walking out of the courtyard with an umbrella.

"Chen'er, the rain hasn't stopped. Why don't you come out with an umbrella? Saying that, he raised his hand to hold an umbrella for her: "Is there something to do with me so early?" ”

"It doesn't matter if it's raining. Senior Brother Qingzhu, I'm here to say goodbye to you. ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Qingzhu's eyes: "You want to leave?" Although I may not be safe here, but depending on the situation, it will be fine for a short time, and it is raining again on this day when the soldiers are in chaos outside, why don't you wait two days for me to inquire about the news outside for you, and then ......"

Xia Chen shook his head: "What can I do if I know the news, I'm just afraid that I won't be in a hurry...... Senior Brother Qingzhu, take care. ”

Qingzhu sighed heavily: "In this troubled world, how can you take care!" Since you insist on leaving, I won't force you to stay, let's have breakfast together, and I can also have some dry food on the plate. ”

This slightly excited voice came from the courtyard behind Qingzhu: "Is it Xia Gongzi?" ”

Xia Chen leaned over and saw that a woman in red was walking over quickly, although half of her face was wrapped in bandages, she still recognized it at a glance: "Red Kite!" How did you end up here? ”

Hongzheng choked up before she could say a word, and gave a shallow salute: "Young Master Xia, this is a long story." ”

Qingzhu said: "It turns out that you know. ”

Xia Chen nodded: "Senior Brother Qingzhu will go get busy first, I have something to talk to her." ”

"It's okay, if you have something, someone will come to the main courtyard to find me." Qingzhu said and turned to leave.

Xia Chen and Hongzheng came to the small pavilion in this courtyard and sat down, Hongzheng said, "Have you heard about Feiyun?" ”

Xia Chen nodded: "I heard." Were you by his side at the time? ”

Hongzheng sniffed and shook his head, "I really wish I could die with him, but I didn't have time." ”

"And what are your injuries?"

Hongzheng hesitated slightly: "I disobeyed my son-in-law's order to leave Jiangnan and go to Yanguan in the north. ”

"So you haven't been to Beiyan Pass?"

"The army of Xuanguo occupied Liangzhou, and I avoided it all the way to Qingzhou."

"What's the situation in Taizhou?"

Hongzheng pondered for a moment: "It won't last long, the emperor ordered all the troops not to leave the garrison without permission, and now if the Xuan army takes the capital directly, it will be too late for the troops from all over the country to help, and King Kang has already led most of the royal divisions to the south of the Yangtze River." ”

Xia Chen gasped: "What about the emperor? ”

Hongzheng snorted coldly: "He passed the throne to the crown prince, and he led a team of forbidden troops away." However, he thought that Jiangnan was not so easy. ”

Xia Chen bit her lip and finally asked the question she was most concerned about: "Do you have any news about Wei Han?" ”

"Is Xia Gongzi talking about the third prince of the forbidden army?"

"Hmm."

Hongzheng smiled slightly: "There is news from the Xuan army that the army is pressing the realm. Everyone was panicked like a lost dog, only he didn't seem to take these things to heart at all, and he was still in the mood to get married. Half Moon He had just married the Ninth Princess before, and now he is the brother-in-law of the new emperor of the Great Cloud Kingdom. ”

Xia Chen grinned and didn't know whether he wanted to cry or laugh: "He married the Ninth Princess?" She didn't complain at all that he had married someone else, and if she might have thanked him for helping her solve a big problem, she would have almost been chosen as the concubine of the Ninth Princess. But if he doesn't marry sooner or later, what does he think about marrying the ninth princess at this time?

Hongzheng told Xia Chen everything she knew, including King Kang's intention to usurp the throne, and Hua Manlou was King Kang's most powerful helper. It's just that King Kang himself didn't expect that he was just a pawn of King Hailing.

Xia Chen sighed: "Since ancient times, there have been countless examples of luring wolves into the house. Those who are driven by profit have no faith at all. ”

"What are Xia Gongzi's plans now?"

Xia Chen looked at the rain outside the pavilion that was much denser than just now: "No matter what, I have to go back to Anyang." She always felt a little sorry for Wei Han in her heart, she should have seen him a long time ago. But she never sorted out her feelings, and she couldn't muster up the courage.

Hongzheng was silent for a long time: "Gongzi Xia, now Feiyun is gone, and the people he was most worried about during his lifetime were Gongzi Xia, Gongzi Cen and Gongzi Wei." I can't and don't want to go back to the casino. Shall I follow you in the future? ”

Xia Chen nodded: "Of course." She thought that Hongzheng must regret that she was in the mood at this time. O man! Why do you always have to know what is most cherished when you lose?

The rain became heavier and heavier, and Xia Chen could only postpone the departure time, until the evening when the rain and clouds stopped, and the sky appeared a touch of purple red.

Shang Wuchen came to her side: "Tomorrow should be a good day." ”

"Well, it's ready today, and we'll leave tomorrow morning."

Shang Wuchen listened to Xia Chen's relay of what Hongzheng said, and glanced at the southern sky with worried eyes: "I don't know what the situation in Anyang is at this time. ”

At this time, Anyang had been surrounded by the Xuan army, and the emperor had to return to the palace because he could not cross the river to the south a few days ago. At this time, he had already lost his six gods, and he sat on the couch around the quilt and trembled like chaff.

The emperor, who had just succeeded to the throne, was even more at a loss. He had never been a regent in the East Palace for many years, and the sudden becoming emperor had made him panic, and in the face of such a chaotic crisis, he couldn't afford to fall ill directly.

To this day, there are no upright ministers in the high positions in the court, such as Qin Shenzheng and Yan Taiwei have not come to the court for a few days, and they are busy transferring property at home. And Yan Shiming, who had been crazy, seemed to have suddenly sobered up a lot, shouting that he had a relationship with King Hailing.

The people in the capital cried and grabbed the land and cried bitterly, and many people were so frightened that they killed their wives and children and then committed suicide. There are also some people who want to take advantage of this time to do something that they usually dare to think about and dare not do, and the robbery is endless, such as Mingyulou and the song and dance workshop are occupied by a gang of hooligans and ruffians, not to mention, all the singing and dancing girls and Xing * advocate and the like are inevitably ruined by their bad luck.

At this time, if there are only Wei Mansion and Yue Mansion without chickens and dogs, Wei Han changed into a suit of armor and said to the housekeeper who had been crying on the side: "Didn't I tell you not to come back?" ”

The housekeeper shook his head: "The old slave is born as a member ......of the Wei family, and death is a ghost of the Wei family, and now that the disaster is at the head, there is no reason to leave, not to mention, not to mention that the lord is the old slave who grew up."

Wei Han's eyes turned red and he sighed: "At this time, there is no way to send you away, you quickly distribute all the weapons, clothing and food in the house to the people in the city." ”

"Yes."

"I'm leaving." Wei Han turned around and strode out of the hall, the horses had already been prepared in the courtyard, he turned over and went straight to Yue's mansion.

At this time, General Yue also changed into armor and gathered the servants in the palace to give a lecture. "The rise and fall of a country is the responsibility of the husband. If you want to leave, I won't force you to stay, and if you want to kill the enemy with me, I'm here to thank someone. ”

One hundred and ten people in the courtyard shouted together with the woman: "I am willing to kill the enemy with the general and avenge my son." ”

At this time, Mrs. Cen came out of the room wearing a silver armor and said to General Yue: "We will live together, and we will die together." "The emperor listened to the slander and accepted her husband's military power, her son resisted the enemy at the border pass because the commander fled and could not get backup, and the Cen family was almost wiped out, any one of which was enough to make her resent the court, but she finally chose to do her best with her husband for the Dayun Kingdom and the people in the city.

General Yue nodded with tears: "Okay!" To live together, to die together. At this time, there is no need to say a thousand words, he knows the grievances in his wife's heart, but the husband does something and does not do something, and he can't lose the loyalty of a gentleman because of the villain's frame.

At this time, the doorman came to report: "Commander Wei asks to see." ”

General Yue's face was happy: "Please." "At present, the garrison of the capital is in the hands of the Qin family's father and son, and he can't count on it at all. The only one who can make a last stand is the Praetorian Guard led by Wei Han.

After the two went to the study to discuss for a while, their expressions became more solemn. King Kang took away a group of Praetorian Guards before, and now the Emperor Taishang lost another batch when he fled, and the remaining Praetorian Guards were less than 10,000. And the most worrying thing is the garrison, if the Qin family loses the outer city for self-protection, how long can the imperial city hold out with 10,000 Praetorian Guards.

Yue Dajun frowned: "Wei Han, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the capital, although they have not undergone any training, but if they are willing to fight the enemy together, they are also not weak, and the city garrison army has many families in the capital, and it should not be easy to follow the Qin father and son to surrender." ”

Wei Han smiled bitterly: "General, don't count on the people of the capital!" If the people of the border city may still be able to rely on one or two. ”

"Alas! Cicadas don't know snow. "General Yue understands what Wei Han means, the so-called born in sorrow and died in peace! Even if there were often wars in the early years, the people of the capital did not have the slightest sense of resisting the enemy, and in recent years they have been exchanging the year currency for peace. Perhaps many people still think that the siege of the Xuanjun army is just a dream.

Wei Han got up and arched his hand: "General, without further ado, I would like you to take a trip to the city gates, and with your prestige, you may be able to stabilize the morale of the garrison." I must now go to the palace to check the arrangement, and then find a way to ask the emperor to come forward to reassure the people. ”

General Yue patted Wei Han on the shoulder with both hands: "I hope we can have the opportunity to go to Feiyun's tomb together to have a drink with him, and comfort the heroic soul with good news." ”

Wei Han choked up and nodded: "The general will come to the imperial city early to join me!" "Say goodbye with tears.

General Yue looked at Wei Han's back, and there was infinite pity in his eyes: "Take care!" Don't die no matter what! "Wei Han was grown up by him, including the Cen brothers, among the children, Wei Han is the most naughty and cynical, but he is also the most sincere one. And now he's really grown up!

Wei Han left Yue's Mansion and bowed three times to the gate of the mansion, turned over his horse and went straight to the imperial city. He knew that General Yue would never retreat to the imperial city, and he would definitely be more auspicious than lucky, but the Praetorian Guard could only be led by himself, otherwise he would rather exchange with him. Now his family and friends are leaving him one by one, and he will soon be able to see them, right? And the only regret in his heart is that he can't fulfill his promise to Xia Chen.

"Chen'er, I'm sorry!" (To be continued......)
