When the emperor learned that the Xiongnu army had arrived in the city, he immediately ordered the city gate to be closed.

The people who failed to flee in Jingyang City closed their homes and took refuge in their homes.

Lu Yan came to the top of the city gate with the four major generals, and only the soldiers could fight.

After receiving the emperor's order, all the ministers of the Ministry of War also came to the Lu family military camp to discuss countermeasures with Lu Yan.

But because many people in the palace are the henchmen of the Eleventh Prince, many palace guards have defected to the Eleventh Prince.

In other words, in fact, except for the tens of thousands of soldiers under Lu Yan, there are not many soldiers and horses in the palace at all.

Even, perhaps, among these existing soldiers and horses, there are also enemy undercover agents.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan felt more and more uneasy.

This battle involves too many people, too many lives, not only his beloved Rong Ling, but also hundreds of people in the city.

All of this does not allow him to have a half-point difference.

Although, according to what Ah Qi said at the beginning, he only had three days left in this world.

But even so, Lu Yan also wanted to protect the people he wanted to protect, even if in the end, he couldn't stay, he didn't want to leave with regrets.

Tens of thousands of Lu Jiajun swore to defend Jingyang City!

"Hey, you know what? Today, His Majesty ordered the city to be closed! What shall we do? Do you think it will hit the palace? ”

"Can't it, there's no Praetorian Guard in this palace, why can't you attack it?"

"It's hard to say, if the eleventh prince is really reversed, will we still have a way to live?"

"Don't talk about it, I still have an old mother waiting for me to go back from the palace."

"Who isn't, it's almost time to leave the palace, I don't want to die here."

"The emperor has already ordered General Lu to defend the city, he has experienced a hundred battles, and with him, good news will definitely be delivered."

"I can only hope for General Lu, Bodhisattva bless, Bodhisattva bless..."

……

On the corridor of Jingyang Palace, the eunuchs and palace maids who had nothing to do gathered together, chattering about the rebellion of the eleventh prince.

Because the Xiongnu army came to attack, the emperor ordered the guards to block the palace gate and sent the guards to guard the gate.

Everyone in the palace was panicked, and no one knew if they would be able to see the sun tomorrow.

Jingyang Palace, which was originally lively, was silent for a moment.

The emperor is sitting in the main hall, anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

All kinds of ladies were also afraid to close the palace door and didn't dare to ask more.

Only Concubine Jing was the only concubine, but she leisurely tasted tea and teased the birds, because she knew that the day of freedom was getting closer and closer.

Since the palace masters closed the palace doors, and all the meals were made in the small kitchens of each palace, the work in the imperial dining room was also idle.

Rong Ling sat on the stone steps in the courtyard from time to time, looking up at the clear blue sky, her thoughts had already flown to the gate tower of Jingyang City.

Such a tense atmosphere made her have to worry about Lu Yan.

Although, Lu Yan has fought countless battles, has experienced a hundred battles, and has rich experience.

But after all, it was a battlefield, the sword had no eyes, Lu Yan was injured twice in succession, and the wounds had not healed, at such a moment, in the face of the eleventh prince colluding with the Hun army to attack the city, how could Rong Ling not worry.

"Lu Yan, you promised me to be safe, you have to do what you say, you must not have anything, I am still waiting for you to fulfill the marriage contract."

Rong Ling looked at the sky and prayed secretly in his heart.

At this time, she can only pray for Lu Yan here, hoping that the war will end soon, and that the rebels will wake up.

However, everything was as simple as she thought.

At this time, in order to force the palace to seize the throne, the eleventh prince had colluded with the Xiongnu army to kill outside Jingyang City.

Seeing this, Lu Yan also knew that this battle had reached a critical moment.

So, he walked down the tower and stepped on the war horse with Ling Fu.

"Soldiers! Come with me! Rush! ”

"Kill!!"

"Drive!!"

With Lu Yan's order, the whole army of the Lu family army met the enemy with swords!

In this battle, at the foot of the Green Pine Mountain, a few kilometers from Jingyang City, the enemy and us fought fiercely, with countless casualties.

Lu Yan and Ling Fu killed the enemy together with the four major generals and soldiers, and after several hours of fierce fighting, they finally kept the Green Pine Mountain and did not let the enemy break through.

But this battle made Lu Jiajun also suffer a lot of vitality, the soldiers were injured, the dead were killed, and even Lu Yan and Ling Fu were also colored.

After returning to the camp, the soldiers rested in place, but Lu Yan didn't care about his injuries at all, and immediately discussed the next matchup.

Seeing that the Xiongnu army was menacing, even the Green Pine Mountain might not be able to hold it for a few days.

If so, it will be a matter of time before the city is attacked.

"Lingfu! Now there's one most important thing for you! ”

"That's what the general commands."

"You quickly take my jade pendant to Dashang to ask for help from the Shang King, and ask him to send troops to support. Remember, I'm only giving you two days, be sure to do it! ”

"Yes! The subordinates will live up to the general's trust. ”

After that, Ling Fu clasped his fists and saluted, took the jade pendant in Lu Yan's hand, and hurried to move the rescuers from the path behind the camp.

Lu Yan and the others continued to discuss countermeasures against the Xiongnu army in the tent, and at this time, no one knew their fate.

They can only believe in themselves, in Lu Yan, and in the soldiers who fought bravely to kill the enemy.

This battle must be won!

"Auntie, it's time to eat!"

In the imperial dining room, Xiao Tao and the others prepared dishes for dinner.

Although there was a war going on outside the city, there were plenty of ingredients in the imperial dining room, so the dinner was still very hearty.

But even so, Rong Ling still didn't have any appetite.

She is now worried about Lu Yan, who is fighting the enemy outside the city, because the palace gate is locked, so she doesn't have any news about Lu Yan.

This feeling of not being able to catch and touch it really makes Rong Ji uneasy.

She didn't know if he was okay, if he was hurt, or even if he remembered what he had promised.

Xiao Tao saw that Rong Ling didn't respond for a long time, and knew that she was worried about Lu Yan's condition again, so she gently came to her side and comforted: "Auntie, let's eat something first, if you don't eat or drink like this, General Lu will be worried if he knows about it." ”

After listening to Xiao Tao's persuasion, Rong Ling came back from his thoughts.

She turned her head to look at Xiao Tao, full of worry, and took Xiao Tao's hand and said, "Xiao Tao, you said that he would come back safely, right?" ”

"Yes, General Lu Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely come back to see you with good news. Auntie, don't worry too much. ”

Xiao Tao comforted Rong Ling's emotions, although she didn't know the final result, she could only persuade like this.

She knew that Lu Yan was now Rong Ling's hope to persevere.

Actually, Rong Ling didn't know that Xiao Tao was comforting her by answering like this.

Who can guarantee that Lu Yan will really come back unscathed?

Rong Ling knew that she couldn't wait like this.

She had to find a way to get to Lu Yan's side.

No matter how dangerous it is, she wants to be by his side.

"Shhhh

At this moment, Chasing Wind, who was tied to the courtyard, suddenly screamed.

Rong Ling seemed to be able to feel what Chasing Feng wanted to say to her......

"Chasing the wind, you want to go to him too, right?"

Rong Ling thought to himself, he had made up his mind...
