Yang Zhengdao has always lived in an environment under the fence, which has also made him develop a timid and cowardly character since he was a child, and when he encounters danger and difficulties, his first reaction is to run away. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info saw her grandson's performance, but Empress Xiao was extremely sad, who could think of the dignified emperor and nobles, but now they can only flee around like a lost dog, what makes her even more painful is that they now have no place to escape, the world is so big, but their ancestors and grandchildren can't even find a place to stay.

Thinking of the above, Queen Xiao couldn't help but feel even more sad, the first half of her life enjoyed the prosperity of the world, but the second half of her life was upside down, suffering from the world, countless midnight dreams, she even wanted to leave, so as not to suffer from this world again, but thinking of her lonely grandson, she couldn't do this anyway.

"Grandmother, the meal is ready, you and your little brother should hurry up and eat!" At this moment, I suddenly saw a short girl walking in with a meal and whispering.

This girl is also the granddaughter of Empress Xiao, when the Jiangdu Rebellion, she and Yang Guang's children and grandchildren were all killed, only Yang Zhengdao's posthumous son escaped, and later she was Yu Wenhua and Dou Jiande and others changed hands several times, the older daughters and granddaughters were all snatched away, leaving only some young granddaughters by her side, in order to survive these years, she even had to give her granddaughter as a gift to others, such as the Yang family who married Zhao Deyan, and now there are few relatives left around her.

"Sister Anniang, what are you eating today?" As soon as he heard about eating, Yang Zhengdao's eyes immediately lit up and said, he has lived in a turbulent environment since he was a child, and sometimes he can't even eat enough, especially after the death of Chuluo Khan, their life is even more difficult, otherwise they would not have grown so thin.

"Noodles...... Noodle soup! The girl, named An Niang, replied at this time, swallowing a little in the middle of speaking, for she was still hungry.

Seeing her granddaughter's appearance, Queen Xiao couldn't help sighing, and asked An Niang to put down the rice at the moment, only to see two bowls of noodle soup on the tray that were so clear that they could reflect the human figure. Originally, although their life was hard, they were not able to satisfy their hunger with such noodle soup, but as soon as the defeated soldiers of Xiangcheng came before, they collected all the food in the city as military food, and now they can have a noodle soup to drink, and the ordinary people in the city may only drink water to satisfy their hunger.

Seeing that there was only noodle soup, Yang Zhengdao couldn't help but show a disappointed expression, but he still took a bowl and drank it in a big gulp, and Queen Xiao herself drank a few sips, but seeing An Niang looking at herself, this made Queen Xiao sigh, and finally gave the rest of the noodle soup to An Niang to drink, because she knew that the food at home was almost gone, and it was estimated that An Niang and they couldn't even drink the noodle soup.

At the same time, Zhao Deyan and his entourage finally came to Dingxiang City, and after entering the city, Kang Sumi immediately took over the city defense of Dingxiang, and Zhao Deyan immediately came to the Sui Palace's mansion to see Empress Xiao.

"Are you here to kill us or to pick us up?" As soon as Empress Xiao saw Zhao Deyan, she immediately asked with a numb expression, she has seen all the winds and waves in her life, and she has seen Jieli's personality very thoroughly, although Zhao Deyan, the grandson-in-law, is not bad to them, but in this current situation, she has no hope for Zhao Deyan at all.

"Khan asked me to pick up my grandmother and retreat north with the King of Sui!" Zhao Deyan said truthfully.

Hearing that Zhao Deyan was here to pick her up, Empress Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but then she felt that something was wrong, and immediately asked again: "What do you mean by what you say, only pick me and Zhengdao, what about the others?" ”

"The Tang army is menacing, and the time for us to retreat is very urgent, and the others can't take it with them at all, so the Khan only asked me to pick up my grandmother and the king of Sui!" Zhao Deyan raised his head at this time and looked directly at Empress Xiao.

"And what if I don't go?" When Empress Xiao heard that Jieli only took her and Yang Zhengdao away, she couldn't help but be very annoyed at the moment, although they are sent to the fence now, there are at least some subordinates around them, so as not to become lonely, but if even the people in Dingxiang City are discarded now, then their ancestors and grandchildren will not have any dependence, and in the end they can only become a bargaining chip in Jieli's hands, and even when they are useless to Jieli, they will definitely be ruthlessly abandoned.

"The Khan ordered me to come with a thousand cavalry, so please think twice about my grandmother!" Zhao Deyan said calmly again.

Hearing the threat in Zhao De's words, Empress Xiao couldn't help but turn pale, in the final analysis, she was just a lonely old woman, and she didn't have any bargaining chips with Jieli at all, but when she thought of fleeing to Mobei alone with her grandson, she couldn't help but feel chills all over her body, after all, there were not only people loyal to her here, but also the few remaining relatives, but now even they had to be abandoned?

Seeing the change in Empress Xiao's expression, Zhao Deyan couldn't help but sigh secretly, and after a while, he slowed down his tone and said, "Grandmother, in the current situation, do you have a better choice than fleeing north?" ”

"Fleeing north? Flee to the desert of Mobei? Instead of fleeing thousands of miles there, it is better to be captured by the Tang army, if the emperor of the Tang Dynasty does not kill us, at least we don't have to be unable to eat like now! Empress Xiao finally broke out at this time, and shouted loudly at the moment, she was really tired of this kind of hiding in Tibet, and she didn't want to run away even if she died.

"It seems that grandmother has a lot of resentment in her heart, when I entered the city just now, I also heard that the defeated army in Xiangcheng did some excessive things, so I asked people to bring some food to grandmother, wait for grandmother and King Sui to eat more, sleep well at night, don't worry about other things, everything is in charge of the grandson-in-law!" In the face of Empress Xiao's anger, Zhao Deyan smiled calmly again at this time, and got up to say goodbye after speaking.

Leaving the Sui Palace, Zhao Deyan walked on the streets of Dingxiang City with the guards, only to see that both sides of the street were low houses, many of which were shed built with sundries, because life was difficult, Dingxiang was not so much a town, but a larger village, some of the former Sui remnants timidly shrunk into dilapidated houses, carefully looked at Zhao Deyan and others on the street through the gaps, but no one dared to resist, because they had long accepted the fate of being ruled by the Turks.

Looking at the pair of timid eyes behind the house, Zhao Deyan couldn't help sighing, these are the remnants of the former Sui, but in fact, they are all Han people looted by the Turks from the Central Plains, and they were later handed over to Empress Xiao to manage, at the beginning he was not much different from these people, but now he has a chance to resist, and he also pushed the Turks into the abyss with one hand.
