Chapter 91: The Empty City
The maids outside quarreled endlessly, exposing each other's bottoms, and in the end, no one was embarrassed to stay, and they scattered angrily, and the two of them had seen enough of the play, and went back to the house. Purple you pavilion om
As soon as Huaiyu stepped into the threshold of the main house, he heard a low voice by the door: "Where have you been?" ”
Startled, she turned her head sideways, covered her heart and said, "It's at the gate of the house, where can I go?" How did you get here? I don't light the lights either. ”
Jiang Xuanjin looked at her carefully and made sure that she was fine, so she relaxed her expression and said, "I just finished reading the official document, so I stopped by to take a look." ”
It's all time. Just finished reading? Huaiyu frowned and reached out to pinch his sleeve.
A refreshing chill seeped into the clothes, obviously staying outside for a long time.
"You're the man." Li Huaiyu couldn't cry or laugh, "I lie and don't know how to change clothes?" ”
Jiang Xuanjin was stunned for a moment, looked down, and seemed to not know what happened to his clothes. Just as he was about to reach out and look at it, his fingers were grasped by the person in front of him.
The temperature came from her palm, and it was so warm that he was shocked, and Jiang Xuanjin realized that he was cold, and subconsciously withdrew his hand and took half a step back.
The man in front of him didn't seem to be afraid of the cold, he stepped back from her, came up and pulled the strap of his robe, opened his placket, and then reached out and hugged him in.
"Cold." Jiang Xuanjin struggled.
Li Huaiyu hugged it and said with a smile: "I know you're cold, that's why I gave you warmth." ”
"I'm afraid you'll be cold."
"I'm not cold, there is a charcoal fire in the house, and I still have my hands when I go out, and I can't blow the slightest wind, but it's you." Huaiyu looked up at him, in the dark room, this person's eyes were slightly shining, "What are you doing to blow the cool breeze outside for so long?" ”
Half-supporting her waist, Jiang Xuanjin didn't answer, was slightly distracted for a moment, and then lowered his head and said, "Can you go with me to Ziyang Border City?" ”
"Huh?" Huaiyu was puzzled, "What are you doing over there all of a sudden?" ”
"Close to the first tier city. And lively. His face did not change and his heart did not beat, "After all, there is nothing to do here, so I should go to the mountains and rivers." ”
Huaiyu was a little embarrassed: "Is it okay to leave like this?" Then the Chin Cha is coming sooner or later, right? ”
"It doesn't matter." He said, "When he's coming, it's not too late to deal with it." ”
Listening to his relaxed tone, Li Huaiyu felt that it was no big deal in a trance, and nodded after thinking for a while: "Yes." They have suffered from me in the first-tier city for so long, and it is time for them to relax. ”
"Then it's decided." Jiang Xuanjin said, "Let people prepare tomorrow." ”
"Okay." Huaiyu nodded obediently, sat down on the edge of the bed according to his strength, and saw that he had the intention of leaving, and grabbed him with his paws and did not let go.
Jiang Xuanjin looked at her suspiciously, and the moonlight shone in through the carved window next to her, shining in her eyes.
"You sleep with me." She was half coquettish and half tricky.
Slightly stiff, Jiang Xuanjin shook his head: "Your belly." ”
With such a big one, if he sleeps with her, what if he squeezes and presses it?
"Because of this belly, I can't sleep well." Flattening his mouth aggrievedly, Huaiyu said, "You are by my side, maybe I can feel better." ”
Jiang Xuanjin pursed her lips and stared at her stomach: "Why can't you sleep well?" ”
"It's hard to put this on hold." She pointed to her bulging belly, "It's too high to pad a pillow, and it's empty if you don't pad it." ”
Tearing up his robe and hanging it on the screen beside him, he motioned for her to go to bed and lay down beside her.
Huaiyu hugged his arm with a grin: "Ziyang-jun is really easy to talk about now." ”
With cold eyes slanted, he said, "I used to be bad at talking? ”
Huaiyu's eyes widened: "Aren't you good at talking before?" Don't let people talk to you at all! Do you still remember when Baihuajun came to the Northern Wei Dynasty in the fifth year of Daxing? The court deliberated on what kind of etiquette to greet each other. As soon as I opened my mouth, you blocked me back. ”
Thinking back to what she said, Jiang Xuanjin said: "You said at the time that you would welcome him with the highest courtesy. ”
"yes!"
In the past, the eldest princess who was dressed in the peony palace costume of Yaochi sat on the side of the emperor, and said with a smile: "The status of the Hundred Flowers King of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is outstanding, and my Northern Wei Dynasty should also have the demeanor of a great country.
"Your Highness." Ziyang Jun at the bottom right stepped forward with a cold face to interrupt her words, "No matter how high the status of Baihua Jun is, he is only a feudal monarch, not the lord of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, if he greets him with this courtesy, if he comes, what kind of courtesy should he use to welcome him?" ”
Li Huaiyu clearly remembered Jiang Xuanjin's tone at that time, it was called a ruthless and ruthless person, and he didn't give her face at all.
Thinking of that scene, Jiang Xuanjin sighed slightly: "I didn't know at the time." ”
"Don't know what?" Huaiyu pinched his arm with a grudge, pretending to be angry.
The man turned his head sideways, naturally put his hand under her stomach, and opened his thin lips lightly: "I don't know that it is Mrs. Jun who is sitting above, it is rude." ”
With a "boom", a firework exploded in his heart, drawing a dazzling sky, Huaiyu stared at him stupidly, and after making sure that the words came out of his mouth, the corners of his mouth cracked little by little to the root of his ear.
The reserved and elegant Ziyangjun talked to her about love? Is there anything that can leave that to say? She wants to beat the gong and drum to tell the whole world!
"Say it again." Her eyes were bright.
Jiang Xuanjin seemed to react, pursed her lips, and said in a low voice: "Sleep, it's not early." ”
"I'll sleep when you say it!" She's cheating.
Covering her eyes with a headache, he was slightly annoyed: "If you mess around again, I'll go back to the room." ”
Flattened mouth, Li Huaiyu couldn't stop laughing, his eyes blinked, his eyelashes scratched his palm, he wanted to tease him, who knew that after a while, he was tired first and yawned.
Maybe it's because Jiang Xuanjin is by her side, she always feels that she sleeps more comfortably on her side than usual today, her stomach is not empty, and her nose is full of reassuring fragrance.
So after a while, Huaiyu fell asleep deeply.
The hand under her stomach didn't dare to move, Jiang Xuanjin breathed lightly and looked sideways at her face.
Recently, I have been well raised, and I don't have too many worries, and this little face is finally rounded. Qi Jin said that if you raise it before giving birth, you can make up for it from the bottom of your body, and you can reduce the danger by two points.
In that case, Jiang Xuanjin thought. Then let her give birth well, anything that will disturb her raising the fetus will be blocked from her sight.
In the past, I didn't know that this was my wife, and I was offended, but now I have an opportunity, and he can slowly compensate her.
Huaiyu slept very well this night, and when she woke up, Jiang Xuanjin was gone, and Qingsi stood beside her bed and said respectfully: "Master, everyone has already started to pack their luggage." ”
"Huh? Do you know you're going to Ziyang Border City? Huaiyu asked with a yawn.
Qingsi nodded: "The king told the people in the house early in the morning, Qingxian and Bai Hao will leave later, and the rest will leave as soon as noon." ”
In such a hurry? Huaiyu nodded, didn't ask much, and then got up to freshen up and see what to bring.
There was peace in the princess's house. The entire first-tier city is panicked.
A large number of officers and soldiers poured into the city, escorting the old and weak women and children to the Ziyang border city, and some of the middle-aged men volunteered, so they put on armor and joined the army to help, and those who did not want to evacuate with the women and children. Everyone knows that the imperial court has sent troops to fight in the first-line city, and if they don't leave, they will inevitably harm the pond fish.
Jiang Xuanjin sent letters to Pingling, Changlin, Nanping, Gongyi and other places in succession, warning them that the emperor had the intention of forcibly cutting down the land. Everywhere was tense, watching the situation from afar.
After the first battle of Wuzi Canyon, he was leading his troops to retreat, and now he met with the tail army of Jia Liang's group, and together with the defenders in the first-line city, they were attacking back and forth.
Jia Liang panicked! With the will of the Holy Lord, he didn't even enter the gate of the first-tier city, so he had to fight first? But Ziyang Jun's murderous intent has been shown nakedly, and it is useless for him to sue for peace, if he can't break into the first-line city, he will be surrounded and killed outside the city gate.
After thinking about it for a long time, Jia Liang still ordered the army to enter the city. At the very least, we must first break this deadlock and save our lives.
"Kill ----" The cry outside the city gate shook the sky, Jiang Xuanjin stood on top of the city tower, and asked the person next to him lightly while looking: "Do you see clearly?" ”
The spy was covered in cold sweat, and he threw his hand at him again and again: "The little one is going back to you." ”
The court made the first move, and the facts were in front of you! The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, if even Ziyangjun and the eldest princess can't keep this line of city. Then how can the feudal lords in various places keep their fiefs?
The people of the first-line city fled and scattered to the surrounding places, so the news that the imperial court sent troops to attack the first-line city soon spread throughout half of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
However, Jia Liang didn't know anything, he only felt that the city was too easy to enter, and there seemed to be very few people in the city, so he began to search for Ziyangjun's whereabouts, only to find that he was not in the city, and the princess's mansion in the city was empty.
"It's always weird." He muttered to himself, "Didn't someone say before that there were a lot of defenders in the city? ”
"Our people must be too mighty, so scared that they fled in the wilderness!" Someone next to him laughed and flattered.
"That's not right." Jia Liang shook his head, "It's okay if it's someone else, but Ziyangjun has no reason to be afraid of us." ”
Even if they entered the city, they didn't dare to do anything to Jiang Xuanjin, he was ready to go and ask for guilt early in the morning. As a result, it is good now, an empty city, Ziyang Jun disappeared directly.
Jia Liang was uneasy, but his subordinates were overjoyed as soon as they entered the city, and took advantage of the fact that they didn't care, and began to smash the houses in the city with the officials. Looting property.
"It's too much!" After hearing the news, Chang Lin Jun said angrily, "The first-line city is a lonely city, if it weren't for the eldest princess and Ziyang Jun, everyone there would have died." Now it's hard to take a turn for the better, the court thinks well, and sends troops to take over, making it clear that it's a robbery! ”
"Isn't it? Some time ago, His Majesty agreed to our request, saying that it was a tax reduction, but after reducing the salt tax, it was added elsewhere, and it has not changed at all, so what a great grace should it be. The staff sighed, "With all due respect, our majesty is really greedy." ”
"What did Pingling say over there?"
"Pinglingjun is suffering words, the emperor transferred troops from him to deal with Ziyangjun, he is a hundred unwilling, and he is thinking of resisting." The staff thought for a while and said, "In the villain's opinion, you can sell Ziyangjun a favor this time." ”
"Oh?" Chang Lin Jun asked. "What's the deal?"
"Ziyang Jun is now the most powerful monarch, it's not that he can't fight, but he doesn't dare to fight with the imperial court head-on for this line of city, for fear of falling into some kind of rebellion." The staff said, "Jun Shangda can work with Nanping Jun to make a stand for Ziyang Jun." Suppress the strength of Pingling, so that. Not only gave Pinglingjun the step, but also helped Ziyangjun, there are favors on both sides, with Ziyangjun's temperament of knowing kindness and wanting to repay him, he can't give Changlin benefits? ”
That makes sense! Chang Lin Jun twisted his beard and carefully considered it for a long time, and nodded: "You can try it." ”
It just so happened that Nan Pingjun also wanted to help the eldest princess, so he hid behind Nan Pingjun to make a face. The favor is fished, and nothing can fall on him.
As soon as he said it, Chang Linjun sent a letter to Nanping, integrated more than 3,000 people, and after joining the army of Nanping, they all went to the first-line city.
There was nothing wrong with this decision, and Jiang Xuanjin did prepare a generous thank you gift to Changlin Jun, but since the troops of these two monarchs arrived in the first-line city, they have become the real "Ziyang Jun's comrades" in the eyes of the emperor.
Li Huailin is thousands of miles away, and he doesn't know if they are here to persuade peace or what they are doing, he only knows that these feudal monarchs not only jointly asked for tax reductions, but also protected Ziyang Jun in every move, and didn't take him as an emperor in his eyes at all.
The courtiers were nervous, and everyone knew what it would mean to the court once the feudal monarch made a rebellion. If a feudal monarch is in turmoil, there is still room for relaxation, so many people join forces to make a rebellion, I'm afraid it will subvert the Northern Wei Dynasty?
Li Huailin was also a little panicked, he just wanted to bring the imperial sister back, who knows how he got involved with Ziyangjun and pulled out so many people?
If you retreat, the court will lose face, and if you don't retreat, then you can only use both soft and hard, and give this group of people a little color.
Li Huailin still wanted to use Pingling's people, but Pinglingjun directly pretended to be dead and no longer listened to his instructions. If it was someone else, even Pinglingjun helped Jiang Xuanjin, Li Huailin was really angry.
"Spread my will, Pingling Jun disobeyed the decree, violated the law of the country, immediately arrested and returned to Kyoto, and waited for the fate!"
Don't dare to take Jiang Xuanjin under the knife, then you can only kill the chicken and make an example from Li Fangwu, Huailin thinks simply, after all, he is a brother, he can't really deal with Li Fangwu, he just wants to arrest people back and ask, see what he means?
However, what he didn't know was that Jiang Xuanjin had a letter to Pingling early before his holy decree, reminding Pingling Jun to be careful, and to accompany him like a tiger.
Li Fangwu was still hesitating to go to Ziyang Jun like Changlin Jun to make a good deal, and when he heard the holy decree of asking for sin, he didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately blocked the Pingling border city and contacted Changlin Jun.
"What are you laughing at?" Huaiyu stood in the courtyard, looked sideways at Jiang Xuanjin next to him, and shuddered, "Why are you suddenly smiling so weirdly?" ”
Jiang Xuanjin hooked her lips and reached out to pull her cloak for her: "I just think the weather is good today." ”
