On the night of September 12 in the first year of Chongzhen, Xiao Mu opened his eyes and found himself in a typical seventeenth-century palace building, lying on a bed in a typical seventeenth-century style - of course, Xiao Mu could not have any knowledge of ancient furniture, in short, Xiao Mu woke up and found himself lying in the place where he usually slept every day.

Sitting on the edge of his bed was a woman dressed as a typical seventeenth-century empress - of course, it was Ringo, after all, in this time and space, except for Ringo, basically no one else was qualified to dress like this.

"How long have I been asleep?" This was the first thing Xiao Mu asked after waking up and seeing Lin Yi.

It was obvious that Xiao Mu's words startled Lin Ye, because because it was already late, Lin Ye, who was originally sitting on the edge of the bed, was already a little drowsy, and he didn't find Xiao Mu who woke up at the first time.

"Huh?" After hearing Xiao Mu's voice, Lin Ye's body was first excited, then a little excited, happy, and didn't know whether he was crying or laughing, and finally said, "Are you awake?" ”

"yes, I'm awake." Xiao Mu replied, "So, how long have I been asleep?" How's the fighting going outside the city? But since I can still lie here in peace, it seems that at least the capital has not been breached......"

"There's still some fighting outside the city." "Do you think you've only slept for one day?" ”

"How many days was that?" Xiao Mu asked, "It's not like I've been asleep for three days and three nights, right?" ”

"It's not just three days and three nights." Lin Yi replied, "If you count today, you have been asleep for seven days. ”

"What?" Xiao Mu was obviously a little incredulous about Lin Yi's answer just now, "You mean I've been asleep for a week?" How could it be that long? ”

"It's been that long." Lin Yi nodded and replied, "According to Imperial Physician Li, there is no way to confirm when you can wake up, although his words are vague, but I understand it, if you are not the emperor but an ordinary person, he will definitely say it differently, probably whether you can wake up or not depends on your creation......

"So if I woke up after 'only' seven days of stupor, it seems that my creation is not bad." Xiao Mu replied, and then made a joke, "I guess it's because my real name is the Son of Heaven, and I can't wake up so easily." ”

This time, Xiao Mu's boast was very rare and not demolished by Lin Ye, so Xiao Mu hurriedly said that he was good, and asked instead, "So during the seven days I was asleep, you were by my side every day?" ”

"Don't stink, how can I stay next to you twenty-four hours a day?" Lin Yi automatically transformed Xiao Mu's "every day" into "twelve hours a day", and then categorically denied this statement—the implication was already obvious, that is, although she did not guard 24 hours a day, she must have reported to Xiao Mu on time during the day, and then kept watch by his bedside.

"If you hadn't woken up, I'd have been going back to sleep!" Lin Yi then added.

After getting along with Lin Ye for so long, Xiao Mu could naturally understand Lin Ye's statement, but in order to avoid embarrassing Lin Ye, he didn't debunk it, so he asked about another thing, in fact, Xiao Mu remembered that he seemed to support Lin Ye just now and talked about a very important thing.

"What did you mean when you said, 'There's still any fighting outside the city?' Could it be that Huang Taiji's Houjin army has already retreated? Xiao Mu asked, "It feels like I'm missing out on a lot of important things." ”

"Yes, Huang Taiji had already retreated with Houjin's army five days ago, and now the order in the capital has been almost restored, and many of the refugees who fled from all over the country have left the capital and returned to their hometowns."

"Why did Huang Taiji retire?" Xiao Mu asked puzzledly, "I remember that they obviously suppressed the Ming army very embarrassed, why did they suddenly retreat?" ”

"Of course, it is because you, the son of the great tomorrow, took the lead, went to the front line in person, did not avoid arrows and stones, and calmly responded to the battle, which greatly encouraged the morale of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Lin Yi replied.

"This is the official statement given by the Ming court." Finally, Lin Yi added.

"And what's the real reason?" Xiao Mu naturally understood the meaning of Lin Yi's so-called "official statement", after all, he just stood at the head of the city for a while, although it improved the morale of the Ming army, but it was absolutely impossible to reach the level of directly scaring Huang Taiji away, if Huang Taiji was really so unbearable, then the Ming Dynasty would have been able to annihilate the Houjin army and directly recover the whole Liao.

"According to the intelligence of Liaodong, it was because Huang Taiji's old nest, that is, Shenyang and Liaoyang were attacked by the Ming army.

"Houjin's lair was attacked? Who did it? Could it be that the Chahar Mongolia, which had been beaten by Huang Taiji and had no power to fight back, suddenly became powerful? Xiao Mu was very puzzled by Lin Yi's explanation, and asked suspiciously.

"What Chahar Mongolia, it has nothing to do with them." Lin Yi shook his head and denied, "Of course, it was the Ming army that attacked the Jin's lair. ”

"The army of the Ming Dynasty?" Xiao Mu asked suspiciously, "Which other army in the Ming Dynasty can directly attack Houjin's hometown?" ”

"It's Phi Dao Mao Wenlong's army." Lin Yi replied, "Before that, I didn't know that Daming still had such an army, probably this army was stationed on the islands off the coast of Liaodong, and if the main force of the Houjin army went out to fight, Mao Wenlong would lead this army to attack Huang Taiji's hometown, so that he would not be at peace." This time it is said that Mao Wenlong's action was very smooth, almost reached the city of Liaoyang, and the remaining Houjin Da Beile Dai saw that the momentum was not good, so he sent an urgent delivery to Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji hurriedly retreated. ”

"It turns out that Daming still has such an army! is simply the number one hero who helped the capital break the siege! Xiao Mu was also very excited after listening to Lin Yi's words, "I must reward this person named Mao Wenlong well when I go back!" ”

The more Xiao Mu spoke, the more excited he became, and the posture of continuing to lie on the bed could no longer bear his excitement, so Xiao Mu sat up directly with excitement, and his eyes flashed with excitement. 8)
