Chapter 12: In Ruins

Early the next morning, Mu Yunyi came to the garrison camp of Xiqiong on the outskirts of Fengcheng.

General Qian Zheng, the leader of the garrison, and his subordinates immediately saluted when they saw Mu Yunyi: "The ministers pay their respects to Princess Anhe." ”

Mu Yunyi stepped forward and hurriedly helped up Qian Zheng, who was the leader, "Uncle Qian, please hurry up." ”

Qian Zheng is Mu Ting's old department, Tanglin Xun is very smart, and letting Mu Yunyi be a lobbyist to reconcile and persuade them to withdraw their troops is the most time-saving and labor-saving method.

It's just what Mu Yunyi did in the tavern where the soldiers made trouble the day before, I'm afraid that Qian Zheng and the others may not be able to understand it now.

"The master is the master, and the ministers dare not abide by the etiquette law, not to mention that you are now a princess." Qian Zheng deliberately took a step back.

Sure enough, Mu Yunyi knew in his heart that Qian Zheng was like those soldiers yesterday, and he misunderstood him.

"Uncle Qian and his father have fought together on the battlefield for decades, and that is Yun Yi's elder, although Yun Yi now seems to have come to do things in the name of Emperor Dongzhao, he is really forced to do things."

"Oh?" Seeing that Mu Yunyi's face was embarrassed, Qian Zheng realized that he should be too impatient and abrupt, "Princess, please sit down inside." ”

Mu Yunyi didn't sit down according to him, but suddenly knelt down on one knee and clasped his hands.

Qian Zheng was shocked: "Princess, what are you doing, but you can't help it!" ”

"Uncle Qian, my father is missing, Yun Yi is very sad, and Yun Yi has never forgotten the revenge of his father's position as the prince at the beginning, and now he is forced to be a princess in Dongzhao as a proton, Yun Yi is taking the opportunity to come to Fengcheng today to seek the help of Uncle Qian and your subordinates."

"Princess, get up first." Qian Zheng looked ashamed, "Look, it's all my fault for being a reckless man, I heard that you have a princess to rely on when you go in and out now, and yesterday I reprimanded our soldiers in front of the Dongzhao people, I only ...... I only want you to be a princess, a proton in Dongzhao, greedy for comfort, and completely forget the prince's hatred ......" Qian Zheng and others are military generals, and their minds are simple and direct, I saw that Mu Yunyi's dress and demeanor are completely different from the girl who entered and exited the barracks at the beginning.

"There is no clue about my father's disappearance, although Mu Ling is very likely, but it may not have anything to do with Dongzhao, I am now a proton in Dongzhao, although I am far away from the red dome, I can hear a lot of news and clues with Dongzhao."

"It's the minister who misunderstood you, and the princess still asks for atonement!" Qian Zheng regretted his words when he had just seen the princess at this moment, and his face was red with shame.

"Uncle Qian, where are you, Yun Yi knows that you are the old department that was born and died with your father, and only you can be fully trusted at this time."

"The prince is as heavy as a mountain with us, and now his whereabouts are unknown, we must find the prince, if he is in danger, we must rescue the prince even if we fight for this life, princess, if you have any instructions, you can open your mouth."

"Okay, then please return to the West Dome immediately."

"What?!" Qian Zheng and his lieutenants were shocked, they dragged on and did not want to return to the court, on the one hand, because Fengcheng was captured by them, they were really unwilling to give up, on the other hand, Mu Ting was missing, if they went back, they would definitely be excluded and reprimanded by Emperor Mu Ling, left and right Now that the two countries have just negotiated peace and stopped the war, the troops under Mu Ting's command have not been clearly instructed for a while, so it is better to continue to stay in Fengcheng.

Qian Zheng originally decided that in the current situation, if Mu Ling forced them to return to the dynasty, they would resist the order and become rebels, withdraw to the outside of the Saiwai, and find the whereabouts of the prince. And now the princess asked them to return to the court.

"Yes, go back." Mu Yunyi's tone was firm and sincere, "What you have to do is 'forbearance' and 'waiting'. ”

Qian Zheng understood what Mu Yunyi meant a little, didn't speak, and waited for Mu Yunyi to continue.

"I know that after returning to the West Dome, your life will definitely be difficult, Mu Ling will not tolerate his father, how can he tolerate his old department? But whether it is a demotion, an idle position, or even a verbal insult, you must endure it. ”

"For the sake of the prince, what are these grievances, princess, do you mean to let us stay in the dark and avoid the edge for the time being?"

"Yes, now that my father's whereabouts are unknown, and the people in the court are scattered, you have to secretly find your father's other cronies and old subordinates, most of them must be the same as you, they regard death as home, and even want to retire to the court in frustration, but you must convey my meaning to them, please bear the burden of humiliation, accumulate strength, and wait for your father to come back one day to help him regain everything that belongs to him!"

"I understand." Qian Zheng led everyone to hug their fists at the princess and knelt on one knee, "The ministers will be the princess's head in the future, and they will live up to the princess's trust!" ”

At this moment, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, everything in the camp was staggering, and Mu Yunyi and the others realized that the ground had moved. Fengcheng is located in an area prone to ground movement, but fortunately, this time the ground movement lasted for a short time, and in a moment, everything was calm again.

Qian Zheng immediately sent someone to the city to inquire about the news.

About half an hour later, news of the collapse of the refugee camp in the west of the city came back.

"Oh? So what's going on now? Qian Zheng asked to report to the soldiers.

"Because most of the people in that refugee camp are old, weak, women and children, the current situation is not very good, many people are crushed under the collapsed rubble, the soldiers of Fengcheng have gone to the rescue, and General Su Yan, who came from Dongzhao, also led troops to support."

"Su Yan?" Mu Yunyi subconsciously said Su Yan's name, randomly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly continued: "You mean that Dongzhao also sent someone over. ”

"Back to the princess, yes, she is now in a refugee camp in the west of the city."

"Look, Princess, should we go too?"

"No need, Dongzhao has already said that he will help Fengcheng rebuild, and now Dongzhao is sending people to go, we are afraid that it will not play a greater role if we go again, but it may make the scene more chaotic because of the resistance of some people in Fengcheng, and even let others say that we are helping in Xiqiong on the surface, but in fact it has ulterior motives."

"The princess is thoughtful."

"You guys wait here for news, I'll go to the refugee camp and have a look." Mu Yunyi turned around and left, even a little anxious.

"Princess, be careful!"

The refugee camp in the west of the city was built as a shelter for the homeless Fengcheng and displaced people outside the city after the war, and the men went out to rebuild the new city, so the shelter left behind many troubled old and weak women and children. When Mu Yunyi arrived, it was already a chaotic place, the soldiers were digging and transporting, and the rescued people were covered in blood and mud, and some were already dying. She glanced at it roughly, but didn't find the familiar figure, so she leaned in front of the crowd to look carefully, but still didn't see Su Yan, and somehow, a trace of uneasiness rose in her heart.

At this time, she heard a Dongzhao soldier shouting: "Oh no, General Su Yan was crushed under the boulder with his right leg under the boulder in order to save a few children, and now he is trapped in the ruins!" ”

"Su Yan!"
