Chapter 272: Qiu Mu (5)

Previous Chapter

Three days later, the flag was changed on the city wall of Jinzhou, and the word "beam" on a black and white background was hung here, and the nearest state capital from Jinling was here. And the next destination of Liang Guo is to pass through Jiangning Mansion and go directly to Jinling City.

Xinyue wakes up from a nightmare in which Jinling is lost, and she can't find Lian'er and Shuyu, and by her side is the body of Rong Ying, who is already cold.

She screamed in horror and sat up from the bed suddenly, Xi'er, who was keeping vigil, was woken up by the movement of the new moon, and immediately stepped forward, "Niangniang, Niangniang, wake up." ”

Xinyue took a long breath before she calmed her mind, looked at Xi'er, and immediately asked, "Where is Lian'er?" What about Soyu? Where? ”

"Niangniang, the eldest prince and the prince are sleeping soundly in their own rooms." Xi'er took Xinyue's hand and found that her hands and feet were cold, obviously frightened.

Xinyue coughed twice, and Xi'er, who didn't know how many times today, said, "Have they cleaned up?" ”

"Yes, it's been cleaned up." Xi'er still replied patiently.

Xinyue leaned over and supported her head with her hands, although she was carefully raised, but her head was still at such a time, it hurt very much, Xi'er sat sideways beside Xinyue, stretched out her hand to Xinyue and rubbed her head, "Niangniang, you have too much thought." ”

"I just didn't expect that Liang Wei really came." As she spoke, Xinyue laughed at herself, "Your Majesty is right, I really take myself too seriously." ”

"Mother, this is not the situation you want to see. And as soon as the princes and princesses leave tomorrow, you will be able to distract yourself and concentrate on the things in front of you. ”

Crescent Moon shook her head, "As soon as they leave, I'll be even more worried." ”

"Mother, it will all be fine, as long as reinforcements can arrive." Xi'er continued to comfort Xinyue.

The new moon did not speak, and the new moon could hear these words every day, but now, where are the reinforcements?

There are few defenses around Jinling, and in order to prevent the Liang army from tearing a bigger opening, the defenders of the three surrounding states have received a death order and are not allowed to send troops back to aid Jinling, and the reinforcements of Jinling and other troops are reinforcements from the surrounding areas of the eastern capital, among which the reinforcements from Bingzhou, Chengzhou and Huzhou have just been put in order, and if they want to rush to Jinling, the nearest Chengzhou will take ten days, and the Huzhou army, which has the largest number of people, will take at least fifteen days. In the end, the strongest is the reinforcements from the Eastern Capital, they have now set off, day and night, and it will take a full ten days, and they will also come in Jinzhou, which has already been taken by the Liang State.

Liang Guo is mostly cavalry, and they did not go outside Jinzhou, the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack canyon, but the soldiers are dangerous, from the top of the canyon, the soldiers came in two ways, and the two roads directly bypassed the canyon, and directly hit the Jinzhou guards by surprise.

But if the Eastern Capital Army is mostly infantry, it is impossible to take the dangerous road taken by Liang Guo, not to mention, and there is a risk of being completely wiped out if they take the low valley, so Rong Ying has already ordered them to preserve their strength and bypass Jinzhou, such a detour will take at least 15 or 6 days, which is later than the Huzhou army.

As for the other state capitals on the left, they had to work with Jiang Yang and Xu Antai to resist the Liang army coming from the north.

The Liang army is now divided into two routes, one is in Yanzhou, and the other has reached Jinzhou. Jiang Yang couldn't take a step back, otherwise, the entire Great Sage would be drawn into this war.

And Mu Wangye of Dianzhou, the 300,000 army in his hands, at this time, it is even more difficult to save the fire from far water, but Mu Wangye has also personally led the troops to Yanzhou, which is closer to him, as long as Mu Wangye's army arrives in Yanzhou, the state capital in the north, he can immediately transfer troops to support Jinling, and this will take seven to ten days.

Jiangning Mansion is the outer city of Jinling, originally Jinling as the southern capital, not a part of Jinling, so, the entire Jiangning Mansion is outside the city walls of Jinling, later, Jinling became the capital of the Great Sage, here became the place where some ordinary people who moved in with the dignitaries settled, and this will also be the first place for the Liang army to arrive.

In the past few days, the gate of Jinling has been closed, but there are constantly people from outside the city who want to take refuge in the city, but in order to prevent mixing into the fine work, Jinlingwei chose not to open the door.

Tomorrow is the day when Lian'er and the others go to the eastern capital, Xinyue is afraid that they will be attacked by civilians who have nowhere to hide and feel abandoned, so they discussed these things with Rong Ying, so Rong Ying decided to set up a gate at the north city gate first, after many audits, let people in little by little, and then come, tomorrow Lian'er They will take a detour from the south gate to take a boat first, and finally go to the eastern capital.

Seeing that the time of departure was approaching, Xinyue only put on a robe and went to Lian'er's room, but she didn't see Lian'er, and asked Lian'er's grandmother, only to know that Lian'er slept in Shuyu's room yesterday, and Xinyue had to walk and go to Shuyu's room.

Walking to the door, Xinyue heard the voice of talking, and the door was closed, but Xinyue still heard Rong Ying's voice all of a sudden, "Do you remember what your father told you?" ”

"Remember," Lian'er replied a little timidly, "my son will definitely protect his younger brothers and sisters, especially Shuyu." ”

"That's right, good boy." Rong Ying patted Lian'er in front of him, he was just a little kid who had just reached his waist, but he had to go through so many things, "Also, if something happens to your father, you take this, when the time comes, General Jiang Yang will pick you up, as long as you show him this, he will support you and inherit my position." Lian'er, from now on, you are the future of my great saint. I am not your father now, but on behalf of all the kings before the Great Holy Self, and I want to say this to you, to know right and wrong, and to give up small righteousness and oneself. Protect your subjects and, and your mother. ”

"Father" Lian'er hugged Rong Ying's waist, fell on his body and cried, "My son doesn't want to be like this, I don't want to, Father, I'm just a person with mediocre qualifications, how can I..."

Xinyue also burst into tears when she heard it, she was not only crying for the unknown fate, but she heard her determination to advance and retreat with Jinling in Rong Ying's words.

"Child, I..." Rong Ying stretched out his hand to hug Lian'er, and he whispered to him, "My father, the emperor, has never hugged me like this, and he has never called me his child." I have been the same to you, I have never been a good father, but no matter what I do, you are my son, the continuation of my holy bloodline, and I love the proud child in my heart. ”

Lian'er's crying stopped, he looked at Rong Ying in a daze, leaned over and leaned on Rong Ying's shoulder, "Father, you, don't worry." ”

"Take care of your sister and don't let others bully her."

"Okay, I won't."

Boys always grow up overnight, and Xinyue feels that Lian'er at this moment is also different from before.

On the city wall, Xinyue looked at the convoy that was moving forward by the bright light of the sky, and reached out to hold Rong Ying's hand.

Rong Ying's eyes were slightly red, just now inside, when he and Lian'er were talking, his eyes were also red, he looked down at Xinyue, but saw that Xinyue did not cry, but looked at him with a firm face, "What's wrong?" ”

"Rong Ying..."The new moon called Rong Ying's name.

Rong Ying nodded "En"

"You remember, I will go with you when you go, you die, we will be together." With that, the new moon turned and walked back.

Rong Ying chased after him in two steps, "What did you say?" ”

"You hear" the crescent moon did not stop and continued to move forward.

"Do you want to learn from your mother? Aren't you the most shameful? Rong Ying was in a hurry, her green tendons protruded, and her eyebrows were twisted into a rope.

The wind blew the corners of the clothes of the two, and the new moon smiled slightly, "Alone, it's too lonely." ”

"Alone? You wish there was no me in this world, why..."

"It's not because of me, it's always coming to provoke me. In this way, I have become accustomed to having you by my side, and if you are there, you can always be with me. With that, the new moon bypassed Rong Ying and slowly walked down the city wall.

At the most critical time, the two had a cold war.

Xinyue couldn't remember the first time she looked at the door, but Rong Ying still hadn't come back.

There are mountains of government affairs in the study, but Rong Ying will at least come to accompany her for a meal.

Xinyue knew that Rong Ying was still colding herself for what she said on the city wall, but now, Rong Ying really knows Xinyue's temper, and Xinyue also knows Rong Ying's stubbornness, two people who know each other's intentions, but they are tugging at each other, and no one is willing to back down.

On Liang Wei's side, it has been two days since he received the news of Jinzhou, and now it is time for him to set off for Jinling.

Last time, he came to Jinling as the son of a merchant, and now he is riding a war horse and wantonly stepping on the ground of the core state capital of the Great Sage.

The Great Sage also once broke into the cold capital all the way, and killed his grandfather under the cold capital city.

Liang Wei felt that among the people riding on the horse with him at this time were his grandfather and the previous kings of the Liang Kingdom, he reached out and touched the paper in his arms and looked deeply ahead.

"Your Majesty, fifty miles further on, you will reach Jinling." After two nights of running, Liang Wei finally caught up with the Liang army that was constantly coming south, and along the way, because of the lack of troops around Jinling, the Liang army was almost devastated, and came here without difficulty.

"It's not early, set up camp, and before noon tomorrow, you must go to Jinling." The closer he came, the more relaxed Liang Wei became, he turned over and dismounted, the wind really deserved its name, so many days of running, there was still no tiredness.

Liang Wei patted the wind, and thought of the new moon, she always liked to pat the wind's neck like this, so Liang Wei whispered to the wind, "Tomorrow, we can get to her place, maybe we can see her, how about it?" Can't wait? ”

The wind couldn't speak, but Liang Wei smiled faintly, asked people to tie up their horses, and turned around and entered the king's tent.

It was late at night again, the whole palace, surprisingly quiet, Xinyue looked at the dark palace, she knew that Liang Jun was going to step into the realm of Jinling tomorrow, Rong Ying must have been sleepless tonight, so she bypassed Xi'er, carried the palace lamp by herself, and went to the Qiangong alone.

Halfway to the road, Xinyue also saw a glimmer of light in the corridor in front of him, and with this light, Xinyue saw Rong Ying, who was carrying the lamp, walking towards this side step by step.

Xinyue smiled, Rong Ying also saw Xinyue, the two looked at each other across a corridor, Rong Ying stretched out his hand to "come"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crescent moon ran and the lamps were lost in place.

"Slow down" As soon as the words fell, Rong Ying felt a sinking in his arms, and Xinyue hugged him steadily, "I don't, I'm going to run like this, grab you so tightly." ”

"Xinyue" Rong Ying couldn't help her feelings, lowered her head and kissed Xinyue's forehead, and then stretched her head down, but was stopped by Xinyue, "I, I can't breathe." ”

After the running just now, the new moon was really a little gasping, and Rong Ying smiled, "I said it, so you don't run." ”

"What, are you laughing at me?"

"No, no," Rong Ying's smile couldn't be hidden, Xinyue was not convinced, but she could only use her own hand and slapped Rong Ying's back twice, "If you laugh at me again, I'll leave." ”

"Let's go? You can't go" Rong Ying sighed with some emotion, holding Xinyue's hand, he really made Xinyue unable to walk a single step.

"Okay then, I'm not leaving, I'm still listening to you."

Rong Ying couldn't help laughing again, "You're really getting better at joking, let's go, walk with me"

The two of them walked together in the palace with the faint light of the palace lamp.

Rong Ying draped her cloak over Crescent's shoulders, looked down at Crescent Moon and kept smiling, and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"I just never dreamed that one day I would be in the palace like this."

"It's not like you haven't lived in the palace, why don't you dare to think about night travel?"

"It's not a very happy thing to live in the palace. When I was young, I didn't like to live in the palace of King Yu, here, I was not only a poor child with no father and mother, but also a person who looked at people's colors and was not as good as others, and I felt very tired. ”

Crescent Moon shook her head, looked ahead, and sighed, "It's really dark." ”

"When will it be your turn to take care of the affairs of the father."

The tea cup turned, and the tea cup of purple sand and black gold had already fallen in front of the young master An Wan.

Such a teacup, which is hard to find, was smashed in half, the tea in the cup is golden wisp tea, tea ** if golden soup, the tea piece has not been rolled for a long time, like a wisp of gold.

"Son, I know it's wrong." An Wan wanted to say something, but he watched this teacup, just like this, shattered in front of him.

He couldn't say anything.

He looked at his two sons kneeling on the side with some helplessness, hoping that they...

What do you want them to do An Wan paused, he didn't know what kind of people he wanted his sons to become, he just looked blankly at his father sitting in the chair.

Maybe the father only knows what kind of path his two sons will take in the future, as if he has decided his own path.

An Wan has a weak personality, like this, in An Xu's eyes, he is like a waste, so he now puts all his hopes on his two grandsons, at this time, seeing An Wan swallowing temperature like this, he is even more angry and said, "Get down, you prostitute." ”

After An Wan heard this, it was as if he was struck by a bolt of lightning, it was not the first time he had heard such words, nor was it the last time he heard such words in front of his son.

But no one is used to hearing such words.
