One night, Yu Nuan came back from outside and told her that within ten days, Nankang's defeated army would attack Qinglong City.

"How is this possible?" Xia Qian looked at her incredulously.

"Zhongyi has been defeated in a row, and the morale of the Nankang rout is high, and many of the people of Nankang who were displaced to the country of Yi have joined it, and the number has been several times that of the original."

Yu Nuan's words made Xia Qian even more incredulous, and asked with a frown: "It's really hard to believe that a group of Nankang defeated soldiers can beat the Zhongyi army like this!" “

"Yes, I heard that on the battlefield, Hou Xun's people only wanted to save their lives, although those soldiers in the south who guarded the city resisted to the death for a few days, but Hou Xun was not good at fighting at all, and several command mistakes made those soldiers lose their lives in vain."

Early the next morning, the two palace maids rushed back, saying that Huo Jiajun was coming back.

"The war in Mobei is not over yet, didn't they rush back to lure the wolf into the house?" Yu Nuan asked in surprise.

"I heard that some people came back, and the emperor was overjoyed, saying that southern Xinjiang was saved!"

Yu Nuan sneered, and said disdainfully: "The Huo family army has already penetrated into the hinterland of Mobei, and the 300,000 iron hooves against the 800,000 army of Mobei Country are originally reluctant, how can they transfer some people?" Besides, rushing back from Mobei, it takes more than ten days to go through the wind and rain, and the soldiers are physically and mentally exhausted after coming back, where do they still have the strength to fight? ”

When the two palace maids heard this, the smile on their faces faded mostly.

One night half a month later, there was a noise outside, and as soon as Xia Qian opened her eyes, she saw Yu Nuan running in in a hurry.

"The Nankang army has come over, and the emperor has ordered the bridge on the Xuyu River to be cut off, and they are temporarily blocked on the south bank of the river." Yu Nuan said anxiously.

Xia Qian hurriedly sat up from the bed, looked at each other seriously, and asked, "This, this is too fast, right?" The Xuyu River Bridge is broken, so isn't it true that all the people on the south bank of the Great River have been given up by Zhu Yu? ”

"Zhu Yu is timid and afraid, after sitting on the emperor's throne ~ silver ~ shameless, at this time, I am afraid that he only cares about his own life, where can he take care of the people in the south of the Yangtze River! If Huo Jiajun can't come back in the next few days, after Nankang breaks and crosses the river, I'm afraid something really big will happen. ”

"Zhu Yu is mediocre and incompetent, he listens to Mr. Li in everything, this Mr. Li is very hidden, but I vaguely feel that I seem to know him; Moreover, I always feel that he is not a sincere assistant to Zhu Yu! ”

Yu Nuan poured a cup of tea and drank a few sips, and said seriously: "Today's war is much more powerful than you and I think, without a strong army to resist the enemy, even Mr. Li is helpless." ”

"A powerful army, isn't the main force of the Nankang rout tens of thousands of routs? Could it be that apart from the people of Nankang who were exiled to the country of Yi, there was any other backup?"

"This matter is still uncertain, but a few days ago, I heard from Simon's friend that tens of thousands of soldiers dressed as ordinary people secretly infiltrated the people of Nankang and followed to attack the country!"

Simon?

Xia Qian's body stiffened, and her heart seemed to be stuffed with a cold ice pillar.

"Que Ming was imprisoned, and Simon's army took the opportunity to blend in with the Nankang army and invade the Yi country, is it ...... It was originally just a conspiracy. Was it his own brother who slaughtered the three cities and blamed him? took the opportunity to let go of the defeated troops of Nankang, and deliberately arranged for the Simon army to blend into the Yi country? These were planned a long time ago, and from beginning to end they were just conspiracies? ”

Yu Nuan gave Xia Qian a cotton coat and comforted him softly: "I think so too, but there is currently a lack of evidence, and Que Ming's friends are also trying their best to find evidence that he was framed." If his innocence can be proven, maybe this war can be resolved! ”

Although what Yu Nuan said was reasonable, but they who were trapped in the Liuli Palace couldn't help anything, Xia Qian thought about it, and felt that she would go to Murong Garden to have a look, hoping to find the token that the insulating host wanted.

After breakfast the next day, she took a palace maid out of the palace under the supervision of a group of guards, and at the gate of Mu Rongyuan, Fan Python stopped the palace guards who followed her as usual.

bsp; In the rare warm sunny weather in winter, Kuo Tianchen was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea with the Lin family, and smiled faintly after seeing Xia Qian, and poured her a cup of tea.

Xia Qian sat at the table with them, and the Lin family looked at Xia Qian for a moment and called out her name in surprise.

A great change in the family, life fell from the clouds to dust, and Kuo Tianchen's temperament has changed a lot, obviously calmer and calmer than before.

"Mother, it's me, I'm here to see you!"

Lin grabbed Xia Qian's hands and said excitedly: "Where have you all gone, I have been at home alone for so long, why can't I find you." Where's your dad? What about the vines? Did they all go to attack Nankang? ”

Xia Qian was stunned, Lin's thoughts were obviously much clearer than before, although he was still a little vague about the things outside, but he would no longer recognize Kuo Tianchen as Huo Zun.

She looked at Kuo Tianchen, and the other party silently added a cup of tea to the Lin family, and explained: "I have been explaining for three days, they have been ordered to go to the east wing to welcome their relatives, and in a few days, the prince of Jun will marry the crown prince, and the emperor ordered them to go to greet their relatives!" ”

Lin thought for a long time, the worry on his face finally faded, and he smiled with satisfaction: "Three days, walk back and forth from the imperial capital of the East Wing, plus the days of staying in the East Wing, twenty days, at most twenty days, they will come back, and then we will have a good gathering." Xia Qian, you can make more tea when the time comes, and then play a tune, by the way, there is also the osmanthus wine you brewed, I really want to drink it! Lin smiled gently.

"Okay, when you get well, I will definitely play the piano and make tea for you!"

Lin smiled heartily and replied: "The tea is for everyone, but I would like to drink the osmanthus wine you brewed, which has a mellow and delicious taste." Teng'er likes it, my mother likes it, and your father likes it too! ”

Father?

Xia Qian was stunned, the wine she brewed had never been sent to the Lin family and Huo Feng, when did they taste it? Could it be that Huo Zun brought it to the Lin family?

Because of infertility, Lin was dissatisfied with her for a while, and went to Tengyuan Tea House many times to pull her to see a doctor.

Although Huo Zun stopped the Lin family, he must have worked hard to appease his mother, and the wine she brewed was much less at this time.

"Mother, my father...... Did he explain anything before he went to the East Wing? Xia Qian asked cautiously.

Lin held his forehead and thought for a long time, and asked excitedly: "Your father, he didn't say anything when he left, no, he seems to have explained, saying that I should take care of myself and wait for Teng'er to come back...... He also said that when you two go far away, you will give birth to a big fat grandson for us! ”

Seeing that the Lin family thought hard for a long time, and the words he said were meaningless, Xia Qian sat in Murong Yuan for a while, planning to return to the palace.

Kuo Tianchen came out to see her off, mentioning Lin's condition, saying that the medicine sent by Shi Rong was good, at first Fan Mang and they were not at ease to let Lin take it, Shi Rong personally tried the medicine, and they were relieved after reading it.

After a few months of conditioning, Lin's hysteria has been alleviated a lot, but I'm afraid it won't be long before Huo Feng's death can't be hidden, and she will know about Huo Zun's conquest of Mobei sooner or later.

Xia Qian frowned lightly and replied softly: "It's a day to hide it, I'm afraid it's not a way to live in your own spiritual world." It's really not good, let Shi Rong reduce the dose of medicine, let her recover more slowly, so as not to be overstimulated when the hysteria subsides! ”

Kuo Tianchen looked at Fan Mang not far away, and reminded Xia Qian: "The Nankang army broke into the Yi country, and now it is winter, although the bridge is gone, but if the water surface is frozen, the army will be able to cross the river in less than half an hour." In case you really call, you take care of yourself, and when Huo Zun comes back, at least you can be reunited! ”

Xia Qian glanced at him in surprise, smiled disdainfully, and asked, "Do you also think that Qinglong City can't hold it?" ”

"If it's just the defeat of Nankang, no matter how incompetent Hou Xu is, he won't be defeated like this! The Hou family and Simon's third prince, Chu Yue, have been friends for many years, and this person is both civil and military, full of resourcefulness, and may have played a lot of roles in the invasion of the Nankang army. And the ambition of the Hou family, the horror is not something that a pro-barracks commander can hold! ”
