It turned out that on the second day and night of the disappearance of the three people, a coup d'état occurred in Shenjing, which affected this city of one million people.

This coup d'état was originally initiated by Mi Chunjia, the "No. 2" figure of the Chu State, who spent the night planning to kill Mi Chang and Zuo Zhong and wound Zuo Ci and Zhao Xi for the reason of discussing and finding Mi Chunxi.

Then he quickly grasped the military power of the Chu army under his command, and firmly controlled the forbidden army of Mi Chang, and immediately attacked the Chu army camp that had lost the leader of the group of dragons after Mi Chunxi.

In just three days, 300,000 Chu troops chose to take refuge in Mi Chunjia, and then, he led 400,000 troops south to pursue and lead 60,000 remnants to retreat to Zuo Ci and Zhao Xi in Jing County, Chu State.

This is not the end, just when the Chu army was fighting, Ji Lu and Mi Chunjia in the three orphans also temporarily formed an alliance, they killed Ji Ce and other more than a dozen ministers of Wang Ji and arrested all the envoys of various countries in Shenjing City, and at the same time put the Son of Heaven under house arrest after defeating Nangong Yu's Tiger Ben guards.

In this coup d'état, because the target of Ji Lu's arrest was the envoys of various countries, and the sudden rise of Mi Chunjia in advance also made the noble ministers of various countries take precautions. Therefore, the battle within the scope of Wangji lasted for four days and four nights before the victory of the rebels led by Ji Lu was declared over.

Therefore, Nangong Yu, who guarded the Qilin Hall for three days but was finally defeated, also retreated while collecting the rout of the various countries, and finally led all the people and horses that could be gathered today to the valley where Lihua and others lived.

According to Nangong Yu, the reason why he did not choose to be captured with the Son of Heaven but chose to break through was because he wanted to lead the troops to escape from Wangji and then lead the repaired coalition forces of various countries to kill back to Wangji together, and then rescue the envoys of various countries and the Son of Heaven.

But at this moment, Zhu Lihua knew what Nangong Yu was thinking in his heart, but he didn't intend to expose Nangong Yu's identity at this time, so he just kept watching coldly, listening to Nangong Yu introduce the current complicated situation in Shenjing City.

"Since I withdrew from Shenjing, the inner city and the outer city have been completely controlled by Ji Lu, and Mi Chunjia left 10,000 horses to hand over to Ji Lu before leaving, plus nearly half of Wang Ji's 8,000 defenders have voted for Ji Lu, so his men and horses are still too much for us who only have three or four thousand people.

If it weren't for the more than 2,000 Qin soldiers and horses who came to Wangji with the Duke of Qin and Lord Zhao Zhihai to help me defend the palace, maybe we wouldn't have been able to hold out for even a day. ”

In Lihua's house, when Nangong Yu finished speaking, he immediately took the bowl of water handed to him by Yu Xin'er and drank it down. Obviously, he was particularly embarrassed by the rush along the way.

"General Nangong has worked hard, it is not a common thing for soldiers to win more with less, General Nangong can hold out for three days, and it is extremely difficult to lead so many soldiers and horses to break through Shenjing, if you want to blame Chunxi for being indecided, he can't be ruthless to cause today's disaster."

After Nangong Yu drank the water, he was slightly stunned after listening to Mi Chunxi's apologetic words, reached out and wiped the water stains on the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Princess Mi doesn't have to apologize, Brother Ling took advantage of your absence to lead the soldiers in the same room, if you want to blame Mi Chunjia, who doesn't know the ambition of the general wolf, what does it have to do with the princess." However, Nangong originally wanted to comfort the princess but didn't know how to speak, but now it seems that the princess is much stronger than I imagined.

It is often said that the Mi family has been heroes from generation to generation, but now I Nangong feels that there are a few words to be added to this sentence, that is, the Mi family is a hero regardless of gender. ”

After Mi Chunxi heard this, Ying Ying bowed to Nangong Yu, which was regarded as a return to Nangong Yu's kindness, but Yu Lihua saw that Mi Chunxi, who seemed to be extremely resolute at this time, still showed a trace of undetectable worry between his eyebrows.

After Mi Chunxi got up, he asked Nangong Yu again: "Dare to ask General Nangong, I don't know how many Chu troops the general brought from Wangji?" ”

After Nangong Yu groaned slightly, he immediately spoke: "These days, the Chu army that was originally distributed in various parts of Shenjing City is far more numerous than other countries because they are looking for the four princesses in all directions.

However, after the war in the city began, most of them went to the Chu army camp in the south of the city. Therefore, when Nangong led his troops to break through, he did not encounter too many people from the Chu State, and there were only about two hundred people.

This time, Nangong brought back about 3,600 people and horses in the valley, of which there were many casualties in the soldiers and horses of our royal family because of the continuous battle, so only more than 800 people broke out.

There were about 1,300 soldiers and horses of Qi and Shu who escaped with me, while there were more than 1,400 soldiers and horses of Qin. ”

Speaking of this, Nangong Yu suddenly seemed to think of something, he stared at Qi Chunxi and said, "Does the fourth princess want to lead the troops away?" This is absolutely impossible, now most of the roads leading to the Chu State have been occupied by Ji Lu's soldiers and horses, and the fourth princess is seriously injured, how can she travel a long distance.

We need to take a long-term view of this. The four princesses must not be in danger and act recklessly. ”

As soon as Nangong Yu's voice fell, Mi Chunxi immediately spoke: "Now that Mi Chang and Zuo Ci are dead, Zuo Zhong and Zhao Xi are seriously injured, and the morale of the soldiers is low and the number is at an absolute disadvantage, if I can't rush to command my own soldiers and horses as soon as possible, Chunxi is afraid that there will be no chance." ”

After Qi Chunxi finished speaking, he seemed to be extremely anxious, and immediately wanted to get out of the house.

Zhu Lihua, who hadn't spoken for a long time, turned his head to look at Nangong Yu, who seemed to be looking at Mi Chunxi with concern, but found that he saw a hint of joy when Mi Chunxi was about to go out, and said lightly: "Fourth princess, slow down." ”

However, Mi Chunxi, who had already walked to the door of the house, did not stop when he heard Lihua's stop, but opened the door and was about to walk out of the house.

"Does the fourth princess really want to give away the Chu State?"

Mi Chunxi, who opened the door, was stunned when he heard this, then stopped, and slowly turned to look at Zhu Lihua who was sitting on the bamboo chair next to the couch.

Before she could speak, she lowered her head with a smile and pondered for a moment before saying softly: "Fourth princess, what General Nangong said is right, if you want to take two hundred Chu troops to chase after the two generals Zuo and Zhao, Zhu Li will definitely be a moth to the fire." ”

"General Zhuli, if you also want to persuade me, then there is no need to say more, if I don't go, the Chu State will inevitably fall into the hands of Mi Chunjia, so what is the use of all these efforts that Chunxi has made over the years?"

Mi Chunxi, who was full of disappointment, was about to turn around again, but heard Lihua speak again: "Fourth princess, can you be sure that the two hundred Chu troops are all soldiers under your command and not under Brother Ling?"

Can you be sure that those 200 soldiers are not the enemies of Brother Ling's stay in Wangji to find you?

Can you be sure that Wangji, who you are passing by, has not been ambushed and let you pass through the danger safely?

Can you be sure that the two generals, Zuo and Zhao, will abandon you and lead their soldiers and horses to flee to the Chu State?

If you take a step out of this house today, then I am afraid that there will be no more four princesses in this world, and if you die, the state of Chu will die.

Where to go, please think carefully about the fourth princess. ”

After listening to Lihua's words, Mi Chunxi was stunned, but she was not a person with seven tricks, so after an instant, she looked at Nangong Yu, who was also stunned.

"Nephew Li, don't you believe me?

Don't forget, if I don't save you, I'm afraid you'll have gone to Yellow Springs by now.

Besides, why should I lie to you? ”

Nangong Yu snorted coldly and said dissatisfied.

Zhu Lihua smiled slightly, and then bowed to Nangong Yu and said, "Uncle Nangong, it's not that Lu Lihua doesn't believe you, but I think this matter is too strange.

When my uncle broke through the palace, he had to pass through the inner city, the outer city, and the many commercial districts outside the city.

It is inevitable that the enemy will be fortified layer by layer and the road to break out is full of dangers, but Uncle Nangong can still find time to collect the rout, which really makes Zhu Lihua a little suspicious.

Therefore, Zhu Lihua felt that it would be Ji Lu that they deliberately wanted to let Uncle Nangong out of the city, which deliberately left time and flaws, and hoped that Uncle Nangong would not worry too much. ”

After Nangong Yu listened to Lihua's words, the seemingly angry Tie Qing's face was slightly soothed, and he frowned and pondered for a moment before saying: "Impossible, there are not too many people and horses in Jilu, and the area of Wangji is very large, so they only stationed a large army at the key passage from the inner city to the outer city, and they have no ability to defend it outside the outer city at all, so we escaped from Wangji after a hard battle." ”

"Uncle Nangong, just now you said that you have been besieged in the palace for three or four days, how did you know the number of Qi Chunjia's army and the whereabouts of the two generals Zuo and Zhao who led the rout and fled in defeat?"

Hearing this, Nangong Yu snorted coldly and said, "Although I have been besieged for three or four days, I have not always been completely isolated from the outside world during these three or four days.

Not to mention the fact that the powerful envoys of the various countries who had fled to the palace would hand us the news from the outside, and even the enemies would say something to us when they were persuaded to surrender.

At the same time, it will also tell us that the army of the Chu State has reached an agreement with Ji Lu, so that we don't have to resist stubbornly. ”

When Lihua heard this, he suddenly laughed and said, "Since this is the case, then blame me for worrying too much, and I hope my uncle will not be surprised." After saying that, he bent down slightly and bowed to Nangong Yu again.

And at this moment, Mi Chunxi also turned around and walked to Nangong Yu's side and said, "General Nangong, what you just said about my Chu State army is really not what the general saw with his own eyes, but only listened to Ji Lu's one-sided words when they persuaded them to surrender?" ”

After Meng Chunxi asked, he looked coldly at Nangong Yu, who had a slightly flustered look, and asked coldly:

"Why are you talking to me?"

"Huh?

According to the princess's meaning, whether your Chu State camp has mutinied or not, you have to go to the general to check it in person, and you can't see it with your own eyes?

What Nangong Yu said just now was true, and he didn't mean to deceive the princess.

Although the two generals Zuo Ci and Zhao Xi were injured or not, the generals had only heard about it and had not seen it with their own eyes, but the corpses of Lord Mi Chang and General Zuo Zhong were seen with their own eyes.

The men and horses of Jilu hung their heads on the flagpole, only a few dozen paces away from me, how could I be mistaken? ”

Nangong Yu saw that Mi Chunxi put on a cold face, and he also put on an angry look and said fiercely.
