At that time, Gao Yangyan: Xin was already lying on the phoenix bed, and after two hours, she slowly opened her eyes after defeating her.

"What's wrong with me?" Gao Yang Yanxin said with a pale face.

The slave and maid stuck to the side of the bed and said in a relaxed voice: "Don't worry, face backwards, the imperial doctor also said that you will only be in a coma due to physical exhaustion caused by overwork, so just take a few pairs of tranquilizers and pay more attention to rest!" ”

Gao Yang Yanxin moved her head slightly, she smiled bitterly in her mouth, and asked stupidly: "You say, will our saint come back?" ”

"Of course, didn't the slave say? The Holy Taji people will definitely come back safely if they have their own heavenly appearance, so you can rest assured! The slave comforted.

Gao Yang Yanxin swallowed, let out a faint voice, and emphasized, "But what this palace wants to ask is the saint after coming back or the saint before?" ”

The slave smiled slightly, and comforted intimately: "Don't worry, face back, he will always be saint, and he will never change for the rest of his life!" ”

Gao Yang Yanxin nodded with a smirk, then slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Turning back to Yigang City, the Northern Xia army, which was entrenched on the headless mountain, finally waited for Li Jianguo.

After the salute, Li Wenju saw that the saint was carrying a large package in his hand, so he hurriedly held the package: "Emperor Chao, you are the Son of Heaven, let the last general help you with this little thing!" ”

Li Jianguo handed out the package and said: "This is filled with holy cakes, which are different from ordinary sweet cakes, not only can it reduce the dry bath brought to the mouth, but also can manage twelve hours after eating one, so you will give it to the brothers in part in a while, and we will wait here for the arrival of reinforcements!" ”

"Yes!" After saying that, Li Wenju opened the package, distributed the holy bread to the saint and the soldiers, and began the hiding journey of the monarch and ministers.

Turning back to the capital of Northern Xia, Li Xiao was leading the fake prince to discuss matters in the court, and suddenly a military guard rushed into the court in a panic: "Report, report to His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Li Xiao pretended to be calm, and said in a loud voice: "What kind of system has become above the court? ”

Na Wuwei sighed, revealing sad eyes: "There is news from the front line, more than half of the Beilin army led by the Holy Lord has died tragically, and now he and all the soldiers who are alive. was even forced by the Chu army to go to the headless mountain and disappeared. ”

After hearing this, Li Xiao suddenly turned angry and shocked: "What did you say? ”

The ministers under the court also looked at each other very anxiously: "This, how can this be!" ”

"Li Longyu!"

"Wechen is here!"

"The widow will use the name of the prince to make you a hussar army, and you can lead 300,000 Xilin troops to Yigang to rescue the holy driver."

"Yes!"

After speaking, Li Longyu raised his hand without hesitation and gave an order, "Go down with the order, let the Xilin Army go to the square to rest, and after an hour, you can send troops to rescue the saint!" ”

Turning back to Yigang, now the Chu army has besieged the Xia army for several days, but there is still no trace of the Xia army.

"City general, this commander thinks that we have besieged the enemy army for three days and three nights, and there is no trace, maybe they have already run away, or we should retreat!" Yang Hong said deliberately.

The defender of the city snorted angrily and made an arrogant appearance: "Marshal, don't you know that this headless mountain is surrounded by dead ends, and there is no way to escape?" He also widened his eyes and questioned Yang Hong.

Breathing a sigh of relief, he also walked in front of Yang Hong, stealing the limelight from the coach, "According to the general, they must be hiding in a cave now, we will stay here and besiege the entire Headless Mountain, and when they run out of food and grass, they will automatically fall into our hands!" ”

Although Yang Hong was very dissatisfied in his heart, he knew that he was an empty marshal, so he still chose to be timid, "Having said that, if there are reinforcements from Northern Xia, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

The defender of the city laughed wildly, showing an unreasonable and arrogant look, "Marshal, you are simply too worried, this time the million army led by the Holy Lord himself was beaten and fled by us in less than twelve hours, do you think that even if they dare to send reinforcements to come, the general will still let them go back unharmed?" ”

Yang Hong bowed his head bitterly, and suppressed his words in his hesitant heart: "But ......"

"Why did the marshal see that you were so unhappy, did he think that Bei Xiazi would let him go?"

The defender of the city asked, and the commander hurriedly shook his head and explained: "How is this possible, no matter how the commander says it, he is also the prince of the Chu Dynasty, how can he help the enemy army to drop a small cake for the world?" ”

The defender gritted his teeth and said unsubtly, "In that case, then the marshal will give you good guidance, if I find out that you have a trace of treason, then don't blame Ben for capturing you personally, at that time, you will wait to be divided by the five horses!" ”

Transferred back to Bei'an, the Worry-free Princess Mansion, Zhang's mother, who was seriously ill, has suddenly relapsed, unlike the previous times, she is already terminally ill, even if she has the Blood Activating Pill, she is helpless.

"Holy Lord, he, how is he now?" Zhang Mu was wrapped in a few tears and said with difficulty.

At this time, Li Xuanchun slowly squatted down, clasped Zhang's mother's hands, and sincerely comforted: "Mother, don't worry, Brother Yuhuang has already led the army to reinforcements, and he will definitely come back safely!" ”

Zhang Mu smiled bitterly and nodded, "Since that's the case, then I can rest assured!" After saying that, she coughed involuntarily.

Seeing her so uncomfortable, Li Xuanchun clenched her hands tighter, and she was fragile, and tears couldn't help but flow out, "Mother, what's wrong with you, don't scare me!" ”

"Ah Xue, Xuanchun, my mother is dying, my mother is going to see your father soon!"

Li Xuanchun sighed bitterly, shook her head bitterly, and said: "Mother, don't you say stupid things, your body is so hard, why, why can't you get better?" ”

Zhang Xue on the side also immediately put down the decoction in his hand, squatted down, carefully wiped the sweat on his mother's face, and comforted: "Mother, Xuanchun is right, you will definitely get better, you have to believe in yourself, mother!" ”

Xuanchun beside her shook her body even more excitedly, crying: "Mother, after the Holy Lord comes back, he will invite us to have dinner together, so I beg you not to go, don't go!" ”

"Mother!" Zhang Xue on the side also cried out.

Zhang Mu coughed a few times in pain again, and then slowly looked at the two of them, showing a gratifying smile with a haggard face: "Ah Xue, do you know? In fact, Imperial Doctor Zhuang has long said to her mother that her mother's condition has penetrated deep into the blood, and it may be difficult to persist for several months, but for the sake of your lifelong event, my mother has survived until now! With that, she coughed up blood.

Zhang Xue hurriedly wiped away the blood from the corner of her mouth, and then forcibly endured the tears of pain, gasped, and comforted: "Mother, you will definitely survive again, mother!" ”

Zhang's mother bit her lips lightly and shook her head hard: "Of course my mother doesn't want to leave, but my mother can't keep it if she wants to stay this time."

"No, no!" The two of them, who had lost their minds, shook their heads frantically.

In the end, Zhang's mother sighed, silently looked up at the sky, and stretched out her right hand with difficulty, "Husband, are you particularly lonely over there, don't worry, the lady is going to accompany you soon!" With that, she let out a long breath, and her outstretched hand collapsed on the bed, and then closed her eyes forever.

"Mother (Mrs.)!" Everyone in the house knelt down instantly, letting out a wail.

Half an hour later, the death knell sounded in the house.

Soon, Zhang Mu's death was quickly transmitted to the palace.

Li Xiao ordered, "Spread the widow's will, chase Zhangren's wife as the Holy Mother, and call her Wende!" ”

In March of the 67th year of Yonglong, the 64-year-old Zhang's mother died at the end of the day, and after the funeral was held on the seventh day, she was buried in Wenling.

Turning back to Yigang, after half a month, the holy bread brought by Li Jianguo has long been exhausted, and after three days of hunger, many soldiers are exhausted and fall asleep to the ground, and even Li Jianguo and Li Wenju are already physically exhausted and leaning on the boulder behind them.

At the same time, the Chu army surrounded by the headless mountain still had no intention of retreating, "In addition, the defender of the city looked around, and said in a treacherous voice: "I want to see how long you can hold out." ”

At this time, Yang Hong on the side silently prayed for peace for the Northern Summer Prince in his heart.

Just when the defenders of the city were proud, a soldier was anxious to bring bad news: "Boss, the city will be bad." The 300,000 rescue army led by the prince of Northern Xia will soon arrive! ”

Although the defenders had expected it, the moment they really heard the news, they still showed a look of surprise.

Yang Hong's worried heart finally let go, at this time, he pretended to be worried and eager, and said: "City General, the enemy reinforcements are coming, what do you think this commander should do?" ”

Defending the city and forcing him to calm down, and then patted his chest with confidence: "What are you afraid of, I am not afraid of the million-strong army personally led by the Northern Xia Zi, and now a small prince has only brought less than 300,000 troops to the rescue, how can he bear me?" With that, he stretched out his hand with a murderous look, "Pass the order, prepare to fight!" ”

Li Jianguo, who was weak and powerless, suddenly had the spirit after listening to the fighting sound of the two armies, he stood up, walked to the side of the mountain, leaned over to take a look, and suddenly became excited: "Soldiers, our reinforcements have arrived!" ”

When the soldiers heard this, they seemed to forget the pain, propped themselves up, and began to cheer.

Then, he excitedly went to the foot of the mountain.

"Kill!" The marshals of both sides gave orders, and a major battle between the two armies was about to break out.

Because of the arrogance and arrogance of the city generals of the Chu army, they underestimated the Northern Xia army, so in just one hour, they beat the Chu army to the point of urinating and forced them to retreat into the city, and the saint returned to them safely!

"Long live the Emperor, long live, long live!"

"Flat!"

After the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, Li Longyu took the initiative to take out the water bag and handed it to Li Jianguo's hand, "I'm sorry for the saint." The end will come too late, and you will suffer! ”

Li Jianguo, who was hungry and thirsty, drank cold water without hesitation, and then ordered it to be distributed with the brothers.

At this time, Li Wenju on the side hurriedly took a step forward and said, "Emperor Chao, no matter how you say this, this place is also within the territory of the Chu Dynasty, so now we must leave immediately!" ”
