Yu Ziqing was surprised: "But in this case, isn't that a bully?" ”

Lu Gongyou shook his head: "No, if you do this, not only will Your Majesty not be angry, on the contrary, you will be very happy, even if I don't do this, Your Majesty will think of doing it." ”

Yu Ziqing didn't understand this time, and looked at Lu Gongyou with puzzled eyes, but Lu Gongyou didn't explain to him, so he could only think about it by himself.

···

For several days in a row, Daxing City has a steady stream of materials transported to the direction of Tongguan, and today, the people also know that the rebels have reached the doorstep, for a while, the city is full of panic, even Daxing City is not safe, so is there a safe place in Suiyang?

Could it be that you really want to escape to the barren and barren land of the six southern provinces?

Not to mention anything else, since the start of the war, the army used to control the water in the six southern provinces has also withdrawn, according to rumors, the six southern provinces are still a large area of backwardness, word of mouth, simply did not say that the six southern provinces are hell.

But even so, in order to survive, the people have no other way, and in Daxing City, many people have already packed their bags and plan to go south to survive.

Anyway, the north can't stay, and now in the north, except for the states and counties close to the border of Suiyang, wars are burning everywhere, and it won't last long.

Looking at it this way, you can only go south to seek a way to survive.

It doesn't matter if they go, by mistake, it actually led to the six southern provinces that had become empty due to the flooding earlier, and there were more people again.

Looking at the seven northern states, that is, the land of Daxing City, there are not too many people walking.

Of course, this is also related to the relationship between the old Xiangguo and the civil and military ministers who pacified him day and night, and even the royalists who were united by Feng Qingyun also consciously joined in, and all kinds of appeasement and relief to the people could be seen.

For this reason, the empress also specially received Feng Qingyun.

In the imperial study room of the Imperial Palace, after the empress sat on the dragon book case, the fold in front of her changed from the front-line military at the beginning to the situation in various places, and all of them became Tongguan military affairs.

The empress also knew that as long as she could survive Zhao Sui's attack this time, then it would be time to counterattack.

Eight days have passed since Ning Shiguang went to Tongguan, and in these eight days, the number of soldiers lost has been recorded in the military information sent from Tongguan every day.

Including the experience of every battle, even if the empress was not at the scene, she could still feel the sense of oppression from the words.

"Your Majesty, Ning Shiguang's latest battle report said that due to the lack of medicine in Tongguan, many sergeants could not be effectively treated after being injured, and suffered heavy losses."

Narcissus came forward to give a blessing.

The empress said with a gloomy face: "I know this, but the reserves of Chinese medicinal materials in Daxing City are already insufficient, and I have already sent someone to Yizhou to get them." ”

Narcissus frowned: "But Your Majesty, what about the military situation on the front line?" ”

"Didn't Wang Xiaolai send 100,000 cigarettes? Send it over first, let the sergeants use it to relieve pain and remove bacteria, and then hold on for two more days, and the medicinal materials in Yizhou can be delivered. ”

Narcissus had to nod: "Okay." ”

"By the way, why haven't you seen Xiao Laizi these days, where do others go?" The Empress asked.

"Oh, he seems to be back in Echo Valley."

The empress was stunned: "Go back, when did it happen?" ”

"About five days ago, I said I wanted to go back and see how the hot air balloon and gunpowder were going, Your Majesty, do you want me to bring him back?"

The empress thought for a while, then shook her head: "Forget it, let's go back if he goes back, anyway, he can't help the current Daxing City, so it's better to let him urge the progress of the hot air balloon and gunpowder." ”

Narcissus nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

The empress glanced at Narcissus: "Say." ”

Narcissus said, "Your Majesty, don't you really plan to ask His Highness Suizhu for help?" Now Sui Yang has reached the point of storm. ”

The empress paused for a moment, and then shook her head stubbornly: "No, although it is said that Sui Yang is in danger now, but this is only a superficial situation, in a few days, Lu Gong will return to the court, at that time, the troops sent by King Qin from all over the country have also arrived, and at that time, I have the ability to fight with Zhao Sui, and I don't need to go to Suizhu." ”

I don't know what the empress thinks, but Narcissus feels that it is a waste to have such a foreign aid as Suizhu.

"Report, Your Majesty, outside the west gate of Daxing City, there is a Marquis Shuai Banner!"

At this moment, a herald outside the door knelt down and shouted into the imperial study.

The empress was stunned when she heard this, and then hurriedly stood up, wondering to herself: "Why did Lu Gong come so quickly?" ”

Ask Narcissus, Narcissus is not clear either.

The empress didn't have time to delve into this issue, and immediately rejoiced: "Quick, notify the civil and military officials, and go with me to meet Duke Lu." ”

With that, he walked out of the palace and went straight to the west gate of Daxing City.

At this time, people from all walks of life in Daxing City stopped working, and groups were lying or sitting on the street.

Looking out through the dragon chariot, I saw clearly that the empress was in turmoil as the people performed, and at the same time, her complaints about herself deepened.

If it weren't for his own stubbornness, Zhao Sui would have turned over the river and the sea and messed up the world.

The more I thought about it, the more I blamed myself, and when I arrived at the West City Gate, many of the civil and military officials who had been notified were also waiting early.

But when they came, they saw only a lone rider outside the city gate.

And it looked like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child.

Looking at Ning Xi, who was carrying Lu Gongyou's handsome flag, the empress couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously spoke: "Who are you?" ”

Ning Xi turned over and got off the green horse, took off the spear with the Lu character handsome flag hanging on his back, plunged into the ground with a snort, and then knelt down with a step forward, and shouted in his mouth: "Ning Xi, the thirteenth generation descendant of Ning Baiyuan, the founding generalissimo, is hereby here to open the way and pay the decree on the order of the Marquis of Lu. ”

The empress was taken aback: "You are the descendant of the military god?" ”

Ning Xi nodded, knelt on the ground and clenched his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the last general has been ordered to report that Lord Wuhou has entered the border of Daxing City and can arrive at any time." ”

Hearing this, the empress was really overjoyed, as if she saw the dawn of hope when she was desperate.

So much so that the empress hurriedly stepped forward and said to Ning Xi: "Little hero, get up, get up." ”

As he spoke, he personally helped Ning Xi up.

And behind the empress, those civil and military ministers who have not been at peace for a few days are also relieved, fortunately, Wuhou Lu Gongyou has returned, and now, see how Zhao Sui can jump again.

Even, at the gate of the city, in front of many soldiers and civilians, these high-ranking purple-clothed nobles hid their faces and cried bitterly.

Only Liu Maolin, the old minister, bowed his head and pondered, as if he was thinking about something.

After learning the news that Lu Gongyou was about to return, the empress was also happy, and she didn't say that she would go back to the palace, so she waited at the gate of the city with the civil and military ministers, to greet Lu Gongyou in person.

However, the empress doesn't know, but Ning Xi knows in her heart that Lu Gongyou is still two days away from Daxing City, and the empress can't wait for it today.

You can't let the empress, as the Son of Heaven, blow the cold wind at the city gate for two days, right, it's not like that.

It is precisely like this, so Ning Xi's face inevitably showed embarrassment.

But the empress didn't notice it, and asked Ning Xi about everything, such as the details of the decisive battle between Lu Gongyou and Nurhari.

You don't care if the empress already knows the process, but isn't this looking for something to say?

Soon, all the people in Daxing City knew the news that Lu Gongyou wanted a teacher, no, they all crowded over to see the excitement.

Don't ask how the news spread all over Daxing City in such a short period of time, didn't you see that the empress came out in person, in this case, if the news can't be delivered, it will be in vain.

Under the watchful eyes of all the people, the time passed quickly, and for an hour, the hopeful people in Daxing City did not wait for Lu Gongyou's men and horses, but waited for a sentry rider.

The sentry rode up to him and just shouted loudly, holding Lu Gongyou's golden cloak arrow in his hand, and shouted: "Wuhou is about to be in the class, please get out of the way, don't block the time for Wuhou to enter the city." ”

When the words fell, the sentry also saw the empress, and was stunned, and their eyes were round.

The empress didn't speak, so she hooked her hand at him, and when the people arrived, the empress asked, "Where is Duke Lu now?" ”

In a word, sweat fell from the face of the sentinel who asked.
