Chapter 509: Guarding the Palace

There is no need to discuss this matter, since you are here, come with us over there. ”

Shao Huaigu's face was a little ugly, and he ordered Qian Qianqian, but he was indescribably tough.

"I won't go, you don't want this capital, I want to, there are still tens of thousands of people in this capital, I can't leave them, if you have to leave, then you can go, as long as you don't regret it in the future."

Qian Qianqian is also a stubborn temper, with indescribable stubbornness in her eyes, she will not hit the south wall and will not look back, besides, she has made up her mind in her heart, Shao Huaigu said that she could not move her.

"I can't help you in this matter, Xueyi, take your master down, so that you can watch it."

Shao Huaigu commanded coldly, he had always been gentle, but this time he was surprisingly domineering, with sharp eyes. The face is also very ugly.

Xue Yihou was on the side, not daring to disobey Shao Huaigu's orders, and she also felt that it was better to leave here and avoid the limelight, so she went over to pull Qian Qianqian.

"Shao Huaigu, even if I'm blind, I'm wrong, General Xiao is also blind, people like you are not qualified to be the right minister, if something happens to General Xiao, I will never let you go in my life."

Qian Qianqian pushed Xue Yi away, pointed at Shao Huaigu's face, and was so angry that her teeth itched, she used to think that Shao Huaigu was responsible and a pillar of the country, but now when she encountered this kind of thing, she finally saw the person in front of her clearly.

"Don't take her down yet."

Shao Huaigu gave Xue Yi a look, his brows furrowed, his voice was low, and he spoke crisply and neatly.

Xue Yi was caught in the middle, in a dilemma, she was worried about Xiao Mohan's safety, and she was afraid that something big would happen if Qian Qianqian stayed, so at this time, she didn't know what to do.

"I think we'd better stay, Miss Qian is right, if the capital is gone, there will be nothing, and if we want to come back, it will be more difficult than climbing to the sky, hold on, maybe there is a glimmer of hope."

At this moment, Jiang Sheng suddenly opened his mouth and slowly walked to Qian Qianqian's side, there was still a faint smell of medicine on his body, his expression was solemn, and he was faintly worried.

"Doctor Jiang, why are you messing around?"

Shao Huaigu looked at Jiang Sheng, it seemed a little incredulous, he had obviously said that he would escort the emperor out of the capital tomorrow night, Jiang Sheng also agreed, why did he regret it now?

"Lord Shao, I don't think this is nonsense, now those thieves have not broken through the palace, if we abandon the city and flee, it will undoubtedly make the world laugh, the thieves occupy the palace, it will undoubtedly occupy the century-old foundation of the Xiao State, General Xiao is trapped in the frontier, how can we make a comeback? So in this way, we must not go. ”

Jiang Sheng explained in a fifteen-and-fifteen-ten manner, Qian Qianqian didn't expect that he, a imperial doctor, could still say such a thing, and he couldn't help but be a little moved in his heart.

"Master Shao, I thought that none of us were greedy for life and afraid of death, and we also had the courage to make a desperate bet, so we shouldn't do such a thing as escaping."

Qian Qianqian also stood up, glanced at Shao Huaigu up and down, her expression softened, and every word was sure to be abnormal.

Shao Huaigu lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking in his heart, he was the right minister, he understood everything Jiang Sheng and Qian Qianqian said, if he stayed, in the end it would be nothing more than two results, repelling the enemy army or dying without a place to bury, he is not a person who is afraid of death, but the emperor and those ministers may not.

"Your Majesty, what do you think? You don't want to abandon the city and run away. ”

Seeing this, Qian Qianqian turned her head to look at the emperor, and everyone saw it, if the emperor nodded, she would undoubtedly admit that she was a turtle with a shrunken head, and she would definitely be laughed at, so for the sake of face, the emperor should not nod.

"Lord Shao?"

The emperor slowly raised his head, his face was full of fatigue, it seemed that he was asking Shao Huaigu for help.

"You're right, we can't go, we must stay, fight the enemy together, keep going, we will definitely be able to get through the difficulties and annihilate those enemy troops."

Shao Huaigu spoke slowly, and finally made a decision in his heart, this matter cannot be dragged into the mud and water, if it is decided, it cannot be reversed.

Those ministers were sincerely afraid, looked at each other, wanted to come out to oppose it, and were afraid of offending Shao Huaigu, and they looked very uncomfortable.

Qian Qianqian and Shao Huaigu both knew in their hearts that if the emperor didn't leave, the forbidden army and guards in the capital would not leave, and if these ministers wanted to leave, there would be no one to escort them, so they didn't dare to leave because of the thieves in their house, so they didn't dare to leave, so they could only stay.

Qin Li was still fighting the enemy outside, and he had been fighting all night, and then the outside finally calmed down, Qin Li didn't let those thieves attack the palace, but he didn't drive them out of the capital.

Now all the guards in the capital are concentrated around the palace, trying their best to defend the palace, as long as this palace is still there, everything will still have a turnaround.

"If the guards of several cities near the capital come to support, how long will it take to arrive?"

Qian Qianqian didn't sleep all night, she was still in good spirits, not because she was energetic, but because things had come to this juncture, she wasn't in the mood to rest at all.

"I have already sent an excerpt to the guards of the neighboring cities in the capital, and there is no reply yet, if they can rush over, it will be at least three days later."

Shao Huaigu was also worried, Qian Qianqian had reminded him before, he did pay attention, but he couldn't prevent it, and he blamed the Li family for hiding too deeply, and it was simply that there was no trace of coming and going.

"Three days is three days, we will pour all the strength of the city to protect this palace for three days, and we will work hard in one go, I don't think it's a big problem, what does Lord Shao think?"

Qian Qianqian said categorically, as if she had made up her mind, raised her head, looked at Shao Huaigu, her eyes were burning, and she was even more heroic than a man.

"Since we have chosen to stay, we will swear to defend the palace to the death, as long as we hold out until reinforcements arrive, we will win."

Shao Huaigu and Qian Qianqian have become a force, he has never liked to sway from side to side, since he has agreed to this matter, he will not change his mind, he will only work together with Qian Qianqian to guard the palace.

"How many soldiers do we have right now?"

Qian Qianqian's expression was solemn, she came all the way before, and saw that the outside had already killed red eyes, after a night of fighting, I don't know how many people still had their hands and feet intact and saved their lives.

"Just now, Qin Li sent someone to report that there are still more than 2,000 people left in the capital guards, and there are at least 5,000 enemy troops outside, and in terms of numbers, we are very different."

Shao Huaigu lowered his eyes, and seemed to be a little depressed, he was a civilian official, he had never led troops to fight, and he had no experience, so he could only analyze the strength from the number of people, if Xiao Mohan was here, it would be okay to win more with less, but at the moment, Xiao Mohan was not there, only Qin Li and Yuan Ying and others remained, I don't know if I can turn things around.

"With one enemy and two, this is not a big difference, we have to have confidence, I see that the walls of the palace are quite high, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as we work together, those thieves may not be able to attack it."

Qian Qianqian sneered, and said lightly, although she had never led troops to fight, but since Xiao Mohan could do a good job, she believed that she could also do it well.

The emperor is not in good health, resting in the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Jiang Sheng is personally serving beside him, although the emperor is also very worried about the external situation, but he has no choice but to take care of his body first.

In this way, it is not a bad thing, the emperor does not come out to intervene, everything is decided by Shao Huaigu and Qian Qianqian, which saves a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Shao Huaigu deployed in the palace, Qian Qianqian walked to the city tower, this is the highest place in the palace, overlooking the entire capital, after a vicious battle, in addition to the blood, the corpses are those who are injured and wriggling on the ground, the whole capital is like a huge tomb, everywhere is dead silence.

Those thieves are probably tired and need to rest, and temporarily retreat to a place ten zhang away from the palace, but looking at this posture, they will not stop until they capture the palace, and there may be another fierce battle tonight.

"Miss Qian, while the enemy army has not yet moved, you can go eat something first, from last night until now, you haven't eaten anything, and you can't go on like this."

Xue Yi has been accompanying Qian Qianqian, seeing that Qian Qianqian's face is not good, she is a lot haggard, and she is afraid that Qian Qianqian's body will not be able to stand up if she continues like this, so she whispered comfort.

"I'm not hungry, what about Yuanying? Call him. ”

Qian Qianqian shook her head, the situation is so urgent now, where can she take care of eating? If you're hungry or not, you're already unconscious.

"Yes." Xue Yi knew that she couldn't persuade her, so she didn't continue to persuade her, turned around and retreated, and called Yuan Ying over.

"Miss Qian." Yuan Ying bowed to Qian Qianqian, her body was covered with blood, the green silk was scattered, her face was full of vicissitudes, and her voice was hoarse, it seemed that she had killed the enemy last night.

"How was last night's battle?"

Qian Qianqian spoke lightly, just glanced at Yuan Ying up and down, there was no superfluous look on her face, and she was still very calm.

"Those enemy soldiers are very brave, they should all have been specially trained, some of them don't look like Xiao Guoren, our people are completely difficult to resist."

Yuan Ying lowered his head, although he didn't want to say this kind of thing, but the most important thing was to solve the problem right now, so this matter must be known to Qian Qianqian.

"With last night's battle, how long will our men be able to hold out?"

Qian Qianqian's heartstrings tightened, her eyebrows frowned, and her eyes became sharp.

"Two days." Yuan Ying didn't hide it, saying that two days might be more, if the enemy army attacked the city again tonight, with the posture of last night, with their little remnants of the army, even if they fought with their lives, they might not be able to win.

"Didn't you say that we still have more than 2,000 people?"

Qian Qianqian was a little surprised, the forbidden army trained by Qin Li would definitely not be bad, how could he not be able to stop those enemy troops for a few days.

"More than 2,000 people are just our living people, many soldiers are seriously injured, they can't hold their blades at all, and they are not injured, and they can only barely go to the battlefield with another 1,000 people, and looking at the enemy's posture, they seem to have reinforcements."

Yuan Ying thought in his heart, and he was also very worried, he found out that something was wrong when he was fighting last night, these people have nothing to fear, and they must have something to rely on.

"There are so many people in the Li family, it seems that I really underestimated them before."

Qian Qianqian's expression was solemn, if the enemy army really had reinforcements, it would be really troublesome, this palace might not be able to last three days, thousands of people up and down the palace, but they would die without a place to be buried.
