Defeat! Defeat! Defeat!

The three battle reports sent to each house one after another were all about defeat.

In one day, the besieged Da Zhou, three generals in a row, so that people did not dare to think carefully, for a while, the whole capital was in turmoil, and everyone was in danger. Many families have begun to prepare to flee out of the city.

But the more than 30,000 displaced people were not joking, they surrounded the entire capital, and trapped everyone in the capital to fly.

Although it is now the Chinese New Year, every family has surplus food, and it can last for a while. However, with the loss of these three generals, the people's hearts have been shaken, which has made many people think about it and be very afraid.

Although there is no such thing as fluctuating people's hearts in Ning Wangfu for the time being, there is chaos outside.

Not long after Yan Qingge received the battle report, he received a letter from Ling Zhuguo's General's Mansion, which was full of Ling Xiao's gratitude.

If it weren't for the moment before General Ling Zhuguo's departure, he received a letter from Yan Qingge, pretending to slip and fall, and his bones were broken, and now among the three dead generals, there must be Ling Xiao's father's name.

Yan Xiuyu didn't expect this matter to be so dangerous, and he couldn't help but exhale in his heart.

It seems that the homeless people outside the city are just cover, and the real danger is still outside. If it weren't for Yan Qingge's insistence on going with him yesterday, he coaxed her for a long time, or he didn't coax her at all, and really took Yan Qingge to set off together, and now it is either him or the husband and wife die together.

Yan Qingge clenched Yan Xiuyu's hand: "See if you will listen to me in the future?" ”

"Listen to it! Listen to the song sister yours. Yan Xiuyu laughed, scratched Yan Qingge's nose, was full of spoiling, and hugged her in his arms: "My lady is a natural lucky star, and she can save me the most." ”

The two hugged each other quietly, and before they knew it, it was overcast outside, the wind blew, and soon it snowed, accompanied by falling snow, and the ironing feeling for the rest of his life made Yan Qingge a little sleepy.

By the time it was getting dark, the snow had covered the ground with a thin layer of white.

Because the city is besieged, the streets are very restless, and some small houses with poor defenses have been patronized by some daring snitches. Although Ning Wangfu had enough people, for the sake of prudence, it was locked early, and people who patrolled the night were arranged.

After dinner, the husband and wife prepared to go to bed early, and lay on the bed side by side, Yan Qingge was probably too excited yesterday, and his stomach was vaguely uncomfortable, but because he didn't see red, and there was no discomfort beside him, and he was afraid that Yan Xiuyu would say her, so he lay down and hugged a soup woman and put it on her belly to warm it.

It was still early, the husband and wife couldn't sleep, and they didn't turn off the lights, Yan Xiuyu played sideways with Yan Qingge's long black and bright hair, and said softly: "Do you say that Xiao San will be a girl?" ”

Yan Qingge smiled at him and touched his stomach: "You should call her Xiaosi." The third junior is Aman! ”

She was also looking forward to the girl in her belly. It's just that she has never been pregnant with this child, if it is really a girl, this girl's body is afraid that it will not be very good, so she can only wait for her to be born and slowly recuperate.

"If it's a girl, I want her to look like me." Yan Xiuyu came to his senses, and half stood up: "Do you remember, I told you before, I wore women's clothes when I was a child, and I looked very good, my brother and sister-in-law all said that if I am a girl's family, even if there is some secret disease, just by virtue of this appearance, there are hundreds of families to ask for marriage." ”

Yan Qingge couldn't help but burst out laughing, pinching his face: "Yes! If you are a girl's family, the benefits are great. Your illness is not afraid of pain, whether it is coming to Kwai Shui or giving birth to a child, you don't feel it at all, but you really envy others. ”

Yan Xiuyu knew that Yan Qingge's stomach would hurt when he came to Kwai Shui, and he didn't even have the strength to move when he was in the most pain, so he couldn't help but feel very distressed: "Then forget it!" I only thought about children like me, and forgot about coming to Aoi Water and giving birth. It's good if it's a boy, and if it's a boy, you don't have to suffer from it. After speaking, he put Yan Qingge's hand to his lips and kissed him: "Lady, thank you for your hard work." ”

The lights exploded slightly, and Yan Qingge laughed softly in the dim light. Even if she has to go through so much pain as a woman, but to be able to meet Yan Xiuyu, she would rather be a woman.

I don't know when, Yan Qingge fell asleep, the child in the dream was really a girl, exactly the same as Yan Xiuyu when she was a child, hugging Yan Qingge's thighs and laughing.

When Yan Qingge got up in the morning, he was still recalling the appearance of the little girl, and he was very hopeful for this child.

After washing, Yan Qingge was wearing embroidered shoes, and was about to go to the door to see how the snow was falling, when Yan Xiuyu walked in wrapped in cold air: "Lady, Master Kang asked someone to report to us." ”

"Show me the letter."

"There is no faith, but a message is a message for a man to carry. Outside the city are not only homeless people, but also the four princes and the second prince, they recruited a group of soldiers and horses, there are barbarians and Zhou people, who previously took control of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing by stealing the tiger talisman from the palace, and those above the centurion were all killed by them and promoted to those who were willing to belong to them. The previous three generals were caught off guard and had insufficient troops, so they were dragged to death. ”

Yan Qingge was taken aback: "The Tiger Talisman is a confidential item in the army, how can they steal it if they want to." ”

Yan Xiuyu said: "It is said that it was stolen by a high-ranking and powerful person in the palace, and now who it is has not been found out." ”

"Yan Shuyu!" Yan Qingge said loudly without thinking.

Except for Yan Shuyu, she really can't think of anyone else. Because Yan Shuyu was really close to the four princes before, and her wolf ambition is probably not as simple as being an old man's queen, she also wants the child in her womb to be the emperor.

"It's hard to say right now." Yan Xiuyu said: "Although Master Kang can get a lot of news that others can't get, but it's not omnipotent. However, the queen is indeed suspicious. ”

The husband and wife looked at each other in pairs, and Yan Qingge's face was very bad.

The camp on the outskirts of Beijing is almost all the troops guarding the capital, and there are indeed thousands of Praetorian Guards in the city, all of whom are elites who are brave and good at fighting, but the camp on the outskirts of Beijing is more than 60,000 people! The two sides are on top of each other, like an egg touching a stone.

There are also refugees in various places, even if some people want to be the king of Qin, they can't divide the troops. At this moment, the situation in the capital is critical.

The only thing that is fortunate is that the four princes and the second prince have a plan to besiege the city, and what they want is not the throne! But it is absolutely impossible for the crown prince to hand over the throne.

Moreover, Yan Qingge didn't believe that a selfish and short-sighted person like the fourth prince and the second prince could be a good emperor.

The news that Kang Susheng sent to King Ning's Mansion was not a particularly confidential matter. It was the personal soldier of one of the three generals who died in battle who brought the matter of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing back to the capital, and fled back to the city with wounds all over his body, and the matter soon spread everywhere.

The news that the camp on the outskirts of Beijing has lost control has made the capital, which is already full of all kinds of gossip, even more panicked, and the atmosphere in the city is depressing, and crying can be heard all the time.

Some people know that they can't escape from the city, and they have already begun to prepare weapons. And some people thought of the tragic situation after the capital was occupied by barbarians a few years ago, and felt that there was no way to escape, so they even committed suicide with their whole family hanging beams. There are also some people who can't stand this stimulation, and the evil side of human nature is stimulated, and they openly loot on the streets, but fortunately, the officials and guards in the capital are still working, so these people are suppressed.

On the morning of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the streets were quiet and few people appeared. Every house is closed, and occasionally someone goes out, but they also walk quietly along the root of the wall, for fear of making any noise.

At this time of the year, the seventh day of the Lunar New Year is the day when the shops open, and everywhere is already bustling.

Yan Qingge asked the kitchen to send the list, there are many people in Ning Wangfu, although there is a lot of food hoarded, a large amount of consumption is consumed, and it will go down quickly, the rice grain is okay, and the fresh meat and vegetables are basically empty.

I don't know how long this siege will last, and when the time comes, Ning Wangfu doesn't know if it can hold on.

Just when Yan Qingge was looking at the account books and lists, Yan Xiuyu strode in, told the maids to retreat, and said to Yan Qingge: "I inquired, it was Concubine Shui who sent the tiger talisman, she committed suicide in the palace a few days ago. ”

Yan Qingge stood up suddenly: "How could it be her!" ”

said who sent out the tiger talisman, Yan Qingge would not believe that it was Concubine Shui. After all, she is the favorite woman of the emperor, how can she give away the country of the person she loves the most.

"Although it has not been confirmed, I am sure that Shui Mu should also be on the side of the fourth prince and the second prince." Yan Xiuyu said in a deep voice.

Yan Qingge couldn't help but be dumbfounded! In this way, the matter makes sense.

What Concubine Shui never forgets the most, except for the emperor, is the Shui family. The crown prince suddenly attacked some time ago and took away the throne of Shui Mu, and the Zhongwang Mansion has not existed in the world since then.

And Shui Mu himself has no credit at all, and he can't reach the qualifications of being given a new title again, so he has become a commoner. It was the prince who finally "showed mercy" and let Shui Mu enter the Praetorian Guard as a small leader, which seemed to be good, but from a dignified son to a small leader of the Janissaries, how could Shui Mu stand this anger.

It is said that after Concubine Shui found out, she also went to the prince to make trouble, but she didn't get any results.

But if the fourth prince and the second prince succeed, Concubine Shui has made great contributions, and when the time comes, the Shui family will be crowned king again, and it will not be a matter of minutes.

In front of Yan Qingge, Concubine Shui's face full of ravines couldn't help but appear, and she secretly said in her heart: This old woman is really ruthless, ruthless to others, and even more ruthless to herself.

Concubine Shui is dead, and she can ignore other things behind her.

But the impact of this incident is significant, at least for Yan Qingge, the impact is simply too much, not more. She had to worry about and worry about things, and there were more things to worry about in an instant.
