Chapter 23: Intrigues

The specially carved carriage of Sheung Shui Fang is soft and comfortable, and the added bow blades and shock-absorbing cushions make travel easier in this era.

But there is also a bad point, that is, the mind can be more concentrated, and when the mind is concentrated, it is natural to find something to do.

"Sister, this place is really beautiful, but it's not the time yet, if it is the next season, the maple leaves on the mountain are as red as fire, and my sister is dumbfounded." Zhu Yujiao deliberately aggravated her tone, comparing this little girl's skin to an uninformed bun.

Wang Li'er smiled lightly and said like a silver bell: "It's my sister who has a heart, but it's okay not to see this beautiful scenery, but I am familiar with it here." ”

Zhu Yujiao pouted secretly, not that she hadn't been out, she was still familiar, she was a ghost.

Wang Li'er gently pulled her sleeve, pointed to the distance and said: "It's really familiar, you see, there is a broken wall over there, as steep as the split, did you say that the husband is here to bet with the princes of the capital?" Oh, remember, your brother is also there, I heard that he also lost a piece of jade pendant, the husband is really, how can you be more serious with the prince......" and then couldn't help but snicker.

Zhu Yuanjiao's face suddenly turned red, she originally squeezed out this little girl's skin here, but she was turned over in an instant, and when she mentioned this matter, Zhu Yuanjiao was furious, and she would definitely clean up Zhu Cijiao when she returned to the palace.

"We're done, let's hurry up." Zhu Yujiao said softly, but walked to the carriage without looking back, her little face wrinkled like a bun.

The two women suddenly became angry in the eyes of outsiders, in fact, the struggle has escalated, it is no longer the kind of vulgar, it has become a palace fight, Zhu Yujiao is still too young, it has only been half a day's work, and Wang Li'er has touched the doorway, and the Tao has risen like eating an elixir, and now she is not an opponent.

"Sister, this is the bird's nest porridge I cooked, your body needs nutrition, hurry up and eat it while it's hot." This king has arrived on his hind feet.

Don't look at the two of them fighting fiercely, but Wang Li'er has never relaxed at all about this belly, which makes Zhu Yujiao even more angry.

"Thank you, sister, the capital is ahead, I will definitely take my sister to taste the delicious food of the capital." Zhu Yujiao did not show weakness.

Zhu Yujiao also knows that people have gotten along recently, "definitely for that party".

Thinking of this, Zhu Yujiao smiled victoriously and stroked her belly, but her face changed in an instant, and she drank bird's nest porridge angrily.

The capital has been under martial law these days, Liaodong has been lost, this Gyeonggi is under the iron hooves of the Tartars, Kyoto is three times a day, the people are panicked all day, the first few days, the city gate is closed, and now it will be open for two hours.

The sudden appearance of the convoy, as well as the hundreds of family members, made the guards nervous, and recently they have been strictly checking to prevent the Tartar spies from getting in, this car is unfamiliar, although it is from the west, but it cannot relax its vigilance.

Fortunately, Zhu Yujiao has some royal gold medals on her body, and she can enter and leave freely, so she can enter the capital, but this capital suddenly made Zhu Yujiao frown.

Originally, I had to move back to a city here, but who knew that now this capital is desolate and full of garbage, which is different from Ningwu Mansion.

I haven't seen the walls of the Forbidden City yet, but there are shouts and even cries outside......

"Oh no, the Tartars are coming, and they are going to attack the city......" The palace maid and the six gods got into the car to report, Zhu Yujiao was stunned on the spot, and she still came.

The only thing that Zhu Yujiao is more relieved to be now is that she has arrived safely in the capital, and Kyoto has an extra guarantee, she gently stroked her lower abdomen, you don't let me down, otherwise I will hate you for the rest of my life.

There were suddenly more officers and soldiers on the street, and they were still coming at the convoy, the capital was in danger, and the first thing was to manage the interior, and the convoy was not allowed to continue to move forward, so it could only stop.

"What? Keep your dog's eyes wide open, we are ......" The palace maid entered the capital, and she also has confidence, and now she has to exert her power.

"Listen to them, let's find a place to stay." Wang Li'er came out to stop it.

Zhu Yujiao was angry, but she didn't dare to say anything, here she couldn't let outsiders know that she was a princess, but except for this Ningwu Mansion, she was not at ease at all......

The guards of more than 100 people are very sharp, they quickly protect the convoy, not to be disturbed by panic, horses and monkeys quickly contact the residence, now this army is in chaos, must find a large family's house.

It also happens to be this chaos, the rich families in the capital are also panicking, the news has spread all over, this Tartar is not good, now there are people who have a way to go to Nanzhili, someone paid a high price to buy their house, the owner is not hypocritical, no one in Kyoto can guarantee whether it can be kept, or the silver is insured on the body, so it is sold.

The reason why the horse monkey chose this house is that it is not far from the city wall, and the second wall here is strong and newly repaired, just in case, he chooses the most suitable one, and it is not small, and it is not a big problem to squeeze everyone down.

"Sister, we can enter the palace directly, it's too dangerous outside." Zhu Yujiao doesn't care about any palace fights or palace fights, and now that the world is in chaos, it will only make people frightened outside.

The horse monkey hurriedly said his plan, "Princess, this is more suitable, in case ......"

"Stop, this is Kyoto, gathering the world's elite soldiers, it is the center of the Ming Dynasty, how can it be lost." Zhu Yujiao scolded the horse monkey loudly, she grew up here, and this Kyoto is unbreakable in her heart.

The horse monkey hurriedly made amends, but he still had to continue to prepare, storing food and other necessities, and now even if this tartar could not be broken, he was afraid that he would not give up.

The day was spent in a panic, and the Tartars assembled at the east gate, and they were in the southwest of the country, so naturally they could not be affected.

"You must be prepared, you can't let the two ladies get into danger, the city wall must leave a way back here, if there is a change, you must evacuate Kyoto safely in time." The horse monkey has a flexible mind, and he is willing to seek the near and far, and there is a reason why he chose this place, that is, to leave a way out.

He sent two of his right-hand men to find an opportunity to go out of the city and set up, and here he also thought about how to safely cross the city walls.

"Horse monkey, come here." Suddenly, someone stopped him, and what made his scalp tingle was that this person was Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"Your Royal Highness, are you bored, or do you want to eat something? I got people ready to go. The monkey asked with a smile.

Zhu Yujiao had a small face, crossed her waist, and glared at him fiercely, but only he knew the situation when she put it down.

"You don't perfunctory me, you say to my stomach, will this Kyoto be dangerous?" Zhu Yujiao's intuition was wrong, and she added: "Don't tell me that you don't know, but I know that you are a general who leads troops to fight." ”

The horse monkey was asked, because he really didn't know the situation, he was not familiar with Kyoto, and at the same time he was embarrassed, because this princess was rude and willful, and he was afraid that it would not be easy to pass.

"Forget it, you go down." Zhu Yujiao glanced at him, and then let him go.

However, this night was not only Zhu Yujiao unsteady, but the whole of Kyoto was unsteady, it was too quiet outside, as if something big was going to happen.

Early the next morning, it was not the palace maid who woke up Zhu Yujiao, but ...... Guns.

The continuous, thunderous roar of cannons, although far away, was also heard vividly.

"Don't panic, princess, this must be our Ming artillery." The palace maid hurriedly comforted her, for fear of shocking her master.

Zhu Yujiao pretended to nod calmly, in fact, the Tartars besieged the city, and she had several impressions, but in the end, they all ended up without a problem.

"This is a cannon of more than thirty pounds, at least forty or more......" There are also capable people among the guards, and a lot of things can be heard from the sound of the cannons.

Suddenly, there was a lot of shouting and shouting outside, and more and more people were coming here.

"Quick inquiry, what's the situation?" The horse monkey is most afraid of accidents, and he chose this place because it is secluded and does not want so many people here.

After a while, the shocking news came back, they were all citizens of the eastern city, and the artillery fire turned out to be from the Tartar side, and they were shelling the city wall.

They were all wrong, and this time it turned out that Kyoto was helpless.

"How come the Tartars have so many big artillery? At their speed, how long will it take to blast through the walls? The horse monkey asked hurriedly.

There is a man from the artillery team here, counting with his fingers, but seeing that his face is very bad, I am afraid that it is not optimistic.

"I'm afraid the walls will only survive today." The artillery man shook his head.

The Tartar fire had no intention of stopping.
