The capital has been abandoned.

Wu Ya'er controlled the soldiers and horses gathered in the entire capital, and took these soldiers and horses to Linzhou, the fiefdom of King Lu.

The emperor died, the imperial court no longer existed, and now there was only one voice resounding in the city.

"The military capital has an order, and there are those who burn and loot the house, kill."

"The military capital has an order, and those who do not leave the city should not be chaotic behind closed doors."

"The military general has an order, and each household shall not have more than five chariots and horses."

"The military capital has an order, and the day will start at dawn, and it will not wait for the time to expire."

Groups of soldiers and horses galloped through the streets, and orders were constantly conveyed.

The north city gate is a place where the army and the people gather, the people of the capital who are rich and poor are crowded here, the rich chariots and horses are strong servants, the poor are supported by the old and the young with both feet, and the high-ranking officials of the emperor's relatives are no exception.

Of course, there were also some officials gathered in Wu Ya'er's array, and their expressions were pale under the light of the torches, and they had no hope of stopping Wu Ya'er from luring the troops out of the capital.

The situation has become unstoppable.

"Your Majesty's corpse can't be thrown in the imperial city." An official shouted.

Wu Ya'er looked at him: "Your Majesty has been sent to the imperial mausoleum for temporary burial, the eunuchs in the palace are with you, and there are soldiers and horses guarding the tomb, since Ankang Mountain is in the name of the Qing monarch's side, it will not be disrespectful to Your Majesty's corpse and the imperial mausoleum." ”

The official was silent, now this is the best arrangement, and the emperor's funeral is impossible.

"I've been to see the prince, but I'm in a coma and can't go with him." Wu Ya'er continued, "If the prince dies, he will be sent to the imperial mausoleum for burial, and the princess will voluntarily stay, and the rest of the concubines and women will leave with the army." ”

It seems that it has not been a few days since the prince entered the imperial mausoleum, the dead prince has no threat and use, he will not be humiliated by the rebels when he enters the imperial mausoleum, and the crown princess is safer to hide in the imperial mausoleum than in the capital, such an arrangement is very thoughtful.

"Wudu!" A few officials shouted from outside with pale faces and angrily, "Why are there only five chariots and horses in the imperial court!" How do you fit a document collection? ”

Wu Ya'er said: "The collection of documents are all stored in the library, as long as you take away the seal, it is enough, if you are not willing to be reluctant, you can stay and guard." ”

An Kangshan will not be interested in collecting documents, but he is not so polite to people, it is too dangerous to stay and guard, and the officials gritted their teeth: "It's okay to collect documents, the treasury can't be loaded in a few cars." ”

No matter how large the ancient books and files inside, the gold, silver, and jewelry Ankang Mountain will not let go, and the treasury will inevitably be looted.

"I don't have a single piece of the treasury." Wu Ya'er said.

The officials were furious, it was the treasury of Great Xia, and the treasures of the world that had never been seen before were all in it.

"To Your Majesty, these are not treasures." Wu Ya'er said, "So he doesn't want it." ”

What the? The officials frowned in bewilderment.

Wu Ya'er looked past them and looked at the city: "Your Majesty means that the capital cannot be saved, and in order to prevent the people from being poisoned by the rebels, the treasury will be left to them. ”

The capital is too big, the people can't all leave with the army, it is dangerous to stay in the capital, Linzhou is far away, the difficulties and dangers on the road are unknown, the capital has no emperor's soldiers and horses, that is, it has given up resistance, there will be no defense and siege, and there will be a lot less burning, for many people, they are more willing to take the risk of staying in the capital.

Moreover, the treasures of the world are in the treasury, and they cannot be taken for a few days and nights, and the rebels will go straight to these treasures, and the people in the city will be less plundered.

The officials can understand this meaning, but it is a treasure for hundreds of years since the founding of Great Xia.....

"How is this what Your Majesty means?"

"Wudu, it's clearly you..."

They can't help but argue with angry accusations.

"That's it!" Cui Zheng, who had been silent, stopped the noise of the officials, "If you want to, you will guard the treasury for Your Majesty, why order others." ”

As members of the court, they make decisions and issue orders, and then others do it, if they can't order others, what is the need for them to exist?

Yes, now that the emperor is gone, the imperial court is gone, they really don't exist, especially in front of this little general with heavy troops.

They have no qualifications and no ability to command him, as for guarding the treasury.....

The officials stopped talking.

Cui Zheng looked at them, and his face flickered under the light of the night fire: "Pack up your useful things and get in the car." ”

He turned around and sorted out the official robe and hat, and took a box wrapped in bright yellow cloth from his entourage, which contained the jade seal of Great Xia, which was the only thing he had to bring to guard.

His family did not follow him, nor was he protected by soldiers and horses without any preferential treatment, but waited in crowds like the rest of the people in the capital and staggered to keep up with the army.

The sky is bright, the firelight of the capital is still breathing in the morning light, accompanied by the galloping of soldiers and horses with four horns, it looks a little messy, but it is densely spread together, and there are also strict military formations.

Compared with the solemnity of these galloping soldiers and horses, the people who followed the back and ran out of the capital looked embarrassed and chaotic, some of the carriages and horses had legs and feet, some followed the direction of the soldiers and horses, and some scattered in all directions, the road was scattered with shouts and shouts, stepping on the billowing smoke and dust, and the gradually quiet capital was also a noisy and chaotic, the ground was in disarray, the shops on the street were closed, the wind blew through the silk colored paper hanging on the market, and it was not pleasing to the eye but desolate.

From time to time, there were cries and shouts in the closed houses of the city, and the change came so suddenly, the decision to abandon the family and business was not made overnight, and no one could be sure if they had made the right choice, nor did they know what the road ahead would be.

Zhonghou stood on the empty street, not worrying about being recognized by the people of Zhenwu Army, and listened to the men beside him ask.

"What about us? Do you want to stay in the capital? ”

Zhonghou raised his head and wiped his nose and said in a muffled voice: "The news has been sent to the eldest lady, and before the eldest lady replies, we are still staying in the capital." ”

"What are we doing here?" The men frowned, "Ankang Mountain will definitely come in, there are no soldiers and horses in the capital, and a few of us can't do anything." ”

They are heroic but not arrogant, and they can't do anything like leading the people left behind in the capital to defend the city, it is useless, and it will bring ruin to the capital and the people who remain.

This is the capital of Great Xia, although the emperor is gone, it should still retain its due dignity.

This is also the intention of the Zhenwu Army Wu Ya'er, otherwise he wants to rescue King Lu and sneak away directly with his soldiers and horses, instead of telling the people about the situation like now, take away what can be taken away, and leave what can be left behind.

"It's not that a few of us can't do anything, Ankang Mountain thought that he occupied the capital, and he definitely didn't think that our Jiannan Dao also intervened here." Zhong Houdao, his hand shifted from his nose to his chin, and he touched his beard, "After all, this is the capital, Ankang Mountain wants to occupy it, and King Zhao and King Lu will want to return here no matter which emperor he is." ”

No matter who comes and goes, there are people here in Jiannan Road, there are fewer of them now, and there will be more in the future, and they can't do anything now, and they may be able to be masters in the future.

Things in this world are unpredictable, just like who would have thought that their eldest lady would have two husbands.

As I walked, the weather became warmer and warmer, and I was wearing a single coat and armor and galloping all the way, and my head was covered with sweat.

When night fell, the soldiers galloped in the camp without being hindered at all, of course, almost all the soldiers and horses here were his familiar comrades, but when they approached the main camp, the few soldiers and horses with unfamiliar faces did not stop them, and greeted him warmly.

"Good work."

"Hell is back."

"How was it all the way?"

"Take a sip of wine first."

They asked, took his horse, and handed the flask.

The soldier took the wine and drank a big sip of it, the heat burned all over his body, and a layer of sweat broke out on his back, and he kept stuffing the wine jug to the guards, and the guards in front had already reported to the inside, and at the same time lifted the curtain, from dismounting to drinking to stepping into the camp tent.

The lights in the field tent were soft, and the soldiers looked at the masked woman sitting at the table and looking at the map, and knelt down on one knee in front of her.

"Young lady, the letter of the capital and the general." He took out two letters and held them up.

Li Minglou raised his head and hummed, Fang Er took it and handed it to her.

"Will it all be okay?" Li Minglou picked up the letter and asked the soldier, "Is it still peaceful on the road?" ”

The messengers answered one by one.

"Go and rest." Li Minglou said, "Soak in hot water to relieve fatigue." ”

The messenger leaned over and added, "Thank you, young lady." ”

The young lady doesn't talk much, the concern is in the details, penetrating into the cracks of the bones, the letter soldier always remembers that he is a Zhenwu army, but he really can't say bad things about this young lady.

The letter soldier retreated, Li Minglou didn't care about his complicated feelings, and first opened Wu Ya'er's family letter.

"This time the letter is different, a thin piece of paper." She babbled and waved to the other party, did you change the new way? Shaking off the letter, his eyes fell on the letter, and his voice stopped.

There was no affectionate title for his wife, no greetings for his wife, no trivial chatter about the weather, only one sentence.

Is my mother okay?

Fang Er swept his eyes to the side and frowned: "What does he mean?" Question? Threat? ”

Li Minglou smiled: "It's not interesting, he misses his mother." ”
