Zhaoju sat up from the bed at once, and this night he slept in his clothes, barely sleeping.

Outside the house, the voice of a real fairy jade was heard.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, are you awake?"

"I'm up."

Zhaoju opened the door, and Xianyu Zhenren and a few other guards were already dressed and standing at the door.

"Your Highness, the people outside are gathering, and it is estimated that they will really go to Nanjin today to relieve Yele Yanxi."

A guard fell from the post officer's wall and ran to Zhaoju to pray.

"Your Highness, when will we send a message to the marshal Tong, if the troops are sent early, I'm afraid the sneak attack will not be successful!"

At this time, the door of the other room was also opened, and Taiwei Gao came out under the escort of two guards, who had not slept well last night.

Zhaoju looked at the sky, the sky had just turned white, the sun had not yet risen, but there were birds flying in the air, he pondered for a moment, and asked, "Are we in contact with the dark pile in Youzhou City?" ”

"Yes, I have been contacted, he said that more than 100 people have been organized, and if the people brought by Tong Dashuai arrive, open the south gate immediately and let them in!"

"Okay, great!"

At this moment a flying pigeon landed in the courtyard and cooed a few times, and one of the guards hurriedly stepped forward to remove a scroll of paper from its feet.

"Your Highness, the pigeon that sent a message to Tong Dashuai last night has flown back!"

"Tell me quickly, what did Tong Dashuai write?"

"Tong Dashuai said that he took the five thousand elite horsemen of Bingzhou out of the nest, and took advantage of the night to lurk more than 20 miles outside Youzhou City, as long as Youzhou City is empty, we send a signal, he will immediately sneak attack!"

Zhao Ju was taken aback.

"The big official is a big handsome, how can he come to attack in person, you tell him quickly, so that he must not be alone in danger!"

"Yes—"

After releasing the carrier pigeons, Zhaoju called everyone and said with a serious expression: "Our actions today may be very dangerous, everyone must obey orders!" ”

The nine guards agreed.

Zhaoju said to Xianyu: "If an accident really happens, you must remember that the overall situation is important. ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, we will swear to protect you to the death and never give up!"

"No, today you will swear to obey all the king's commands, and you will not disobey!"

Under Zhaoju's forced gaze, Xianyu Zhenren had no choice but to swear with all the guards.

At this time, there was a shouting sound outside the post house, and someone shouted loudly at the door: "General Yele Jincha and Princess Xiaoricuo have arrived!" ”

Zhaoju led people to the door, the gate has been pushed open, only to see a team of cavalry galloping forward, the first two white horses marched together, it was Yele Jincha and Xiao Ricuo, both of them are silver helmets and silver armor today, Yele Jincha is wild and brave, and the thirteen princesses are heroic.

Two horses galloped into the gate, neighing slightly, and each of them stood to his feet.

Ye Lejin laughed wildly, jumped off his horse, and landed in front of Zhaoju, and his horsewhip was pointed at Zhaoko's front door.

Taiwei Gao was so frightened that he took two steps back, but Zhaoju's face changed, and he still stood still.

"Master Horse, how did you think about the matter that Prince Ben discussed with you yesterday?"

Zhaoju arched his hand.

"This king can cooperate with the prince to act and boost morale!"

"Haha, good, sure enough, the one who knows the times is Junjie!"

The thirteenth princess also dismounted, in addition to the silver helmet and silver armor today, she also wore a pair of knee-length riding boots, which lined her figure even more, and she led the horse to Zhaoju with apologies.

"I'm sorry, yesterday my brother had a curfew in Youzhou City at night, I wanted to drink with you, but I couldn't get out!"

Today's thirteen princesses were particularly shy, and she actually blushed when she saw Zhaoju.

Zhao Ju smelled a faint smell of wine on the thirteenth princess, and couldn't help but smile secretly: "Did this girl go to drink alone last night, fortunately not with me!" ”

The white horse of the thirteenth princess was sturdy and pure, and Zhaoju had never seen such a beautiful white horse, so he couldn't help but take a closer look.

"It's called Feiqi, it's a BMW given to me by my father Khan on my birthday, and in our steppe, no horse can run faster than it!"

Zhaoju couldn't help but reach out to touch the flying horse, but who knew that the flying horse snorted, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly withdrew his hand.

The thirteenth princess laughed, stretched out her hand to pat Feiqi's neck, and said, "Feiqi Feiqi, I am your mistress, he will be my brother in the future, don't bully him!" ”

Seeing the playful and innocent appearance of the thirteenth princess, Zhaoju suddenly felt a little sorry in his heart, it seems that this princess really likes herself, but Da Bird and Da Wei have a feud, how can he not fall in love with a feud daughter.

Yele Jincha frowned.

"Okay, let's go, the army has been assembled, let's go to the parade and mobilize now, and then go!"

There are two war horses brought by a personal soldier, Zhaoju has been riding a horse for the past few days, but the horse given to him is too tall, he grabbed the reins with both hands, stepped on the stirrup with one foot, and slammed it hard, although he stepped on the war horse, but his body was too strong, and he almost fell from the other side, and Xianyu Zhenren hurriedly pulled him below.

The thirteenth princess covered her mouth and grinned.

Ye Lejincha stepped on the war horse and said to Captain Gao: "Ambassador Gao, let's go!" ”

The thirteenth princess flew on the horse, and she smiled at Zhaoju: "Brother Pony, follow me!" ”

The guards hurriedly lifted Captain Gao onto his horse, and Ye Lejincha turned the horse's head around the courtyard, and walked out of the pavilion with Captain Gao.

Xianyu Zhenren led Zhaoju's war horse and followed behind the thirteen princesses.

The soldiers of Youzhou City are gathering at the south gate at this moment.

Ye Le Jincha and Gao Taiwei walked in the front, there were personal soldiers responsible for opening the way, the thirteen princesses took Zhao Ju through the gathered soldiers, those soldiers said that they were soldiers, in fact, they were more like farmers and hunters, they carried all kinds of weapons, and the horses they rode were also big and small, black and yellow, seeing the thirteen princesses, they retreated slightly, and someone couldn't help but whistle.

Zhaoju felt that these people gathered under the city were completely unqualified, and they didn't look like an army at all.

Xianyu Zhenren whispered to Zhaoju: "Your Highness, I just saw that Taiwei Gao's expression was a little weird, you have to beware!" ”

Zhao Ju shook his head, Taiwei Gao is insignificant now, he is just afraid of death.

The gaze around them was not friendly, and Zhaoju noticed that although they were not neatly dressed, they were all strong, especially their eyes were sharp, and the most conspicuous thing was that each of them carried a bow and feathered arrows.

The nine guards selected by General Xin were all first-class and powerful, and their captain of the guard was called Zhang Neng, who took out a roll of bread and handed it to a tall hunter, chatting with him as he walked.

"Big brother, I don't hear your accent is from Youzhou, right?"

"Yes, I'm from Yingzhou."

"You're all from Yingzhou?"

"No, he is from Zhuozhou and Danzhou."

"How long have you been in Youzhou?"

The hunter touched the horse's mane and said distressedly: "We just arrived, and we got together, and we almost delayed the trip after a night's journey yesterday. ”

Zhang Neng was suddenly startled, these people only arrived in Youzhou today, so to speak, the city defense here was very empty last night, and Ye Lejin Cha asked His Highness to say what to borrow troops, it is the old cloth maze, if Tong Dashuai launched a sneak attack last night, maybe he has already conquered Youzhou.

Zhuozhou and Tanzhou are closer to Nanjin City, Yele Jincha wants to relieve the siege of Nanjin, there is no need to pull people to Youzhou and go back, and more importantly, send troops to Nanjin City, definitely out of the north gate, now everyone is coming to the south gate What is the purpose, Tong Dashuai is lurking twenty miles outside the south gate!

Thinking of this, Zhang Neng broke out in a cold sweat.

Zhaoju didn't realize the change in the situation, and until this time he was still sneering in his heart: "No matter how powerful these people are, they are also a rabble, and if they go to rescue Nanjin, they will definitely be defeated!" ”

Zhang Neng approached Xianyu Zhenren and told him what he had discovered, Xianyu Zhenren's face changed greatly, and he said, "What you said is true?" ”

"Yes, we have to tell His Highness immediately, think about what kind of trap it is, how to crack it!"

Xianyu Zhenren glanced around, and saw that there were soldiers staring at Zhaoju in front of and behind him, they were holding knives in their hands, looking like they were looking at each other, and they couldn't help but shake their heads.

"No, it's too late to tell His Highness now, it's only a matter of panic, let's be careful, once we find out that something is wrong, we will protect Your Highness to the death!"

"Yes—"
