Two days after the start of the war, Dongxing City.

Today's weather is not good, the sky is full of clouds, and it also casts a shadow on people's hearts.

An exquisite dormitory was specially built in Dongxing City for Wei Qing and others to live in.

On this day, Cheng Liang hurriedly came to the dormitory.

Wei Qing saw him and hurriedly asked, "Cheng Taishou, is there any news from the front line?" Has the Northern Commander returned?"

In the past two days, there has been no news from the front. Until now, no one in the Northern Command Army has broken through and returned. Therefore, Wei Qing was in a hurry.

Cheng Liang shook his head and said helplessly: "Recently, there has been a heavy fog in Chuzhou, and there are too many Zheng troops on the grassland, so the spies can't get through at all. It's hard for us to know the exact situation on the front line."

When he said this, Cheng Liang's voice trembled a little.

Because he knew that the Beiyu Army had not moved at all for two days after being besieged, I was afraid that it was more than lucky.

Without any logistics, they will starve to death.

"Wechen knocks on Your Majesty...... Prepare for the worst." Cheng Liang only reminded him in the end, and then turned around and left, planning to go back to pack his things and run away.

You must know that this point of defenders in Dongxing City will be shattered at the slightest touch, and it is impossible to stop the Zheng army. In case Zheng Jun suddenly attacked, it would be too late to escape.

Therefore, Cheng Liang has to prepare to flee to Jiaozhou now.

Wei Qing listened to the news like a lightning strike, and didn't speak for a long time.

In addition to her, there are Wei Ning, Liu Meiniang, Feng Chime and others in the dormitory.

The women didn't say a word at this time, and the atmosphere was extremely dull, and even the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be a little thicker.

After a long time, Liu Meiniang got up and said, "I'm going to the front line to find the master."

"I'll go too." Everyone also stood up, and even in such a situation, they were not greedy for life or afraid of death.

Wei Qing got up and said, "I'll go too."

When Liu Meiniang heard this, she persuaded, "Your Majesty, you are in weak health, and it is also a burden to us to go. What's more, you have to think about the baby in your belly, right?"

Hearing this, Wei Qing pursed his lips, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

Liu Meiniang stepped forward and hugged her, comforting, "You can go to Jiaozhou today and hide there......

Saying this, it can be seen that Liu Meiniang has also prepared for the worst.

But even so, she still had to go to the front.

"No, I don't run away, and I don't deserve to be a burden to you, I ...... I can go to the capital for help, and there are still 20,000 soldiers and horses in the capital!" Wei Qing bit his lip and was about to pack his things and set off.

Liu Meiniang said that this was also a glimmer of life, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then let Ling'er accompany you."

Then, everyone made their own arrangements and set off separately.

Liu Meiniang took Cheng Yi and the Wulu Ghost to the front line to find the traces of Shen Yunfan and the Northern Command Army.

And Wei Qing, escorted, went back to the capital with Wei Ning to ask for help.

Outside the capital, there have been 20,000 Chuzhou troops who have been stationed in Zhao'an, and their military power is in the hands of Concubine Zhao. Until now, there has been no movement in the 20,000 troops, which shows that Concubine Zhao is determined to stand by and watch.

Wei Qing made a decision, even if he knelt down and begged, he asked them to send troops.

After half a day of turbulence, they finally returned to the capital, but found that they couldn't even enter the city.

The gates of the capital were closed, and the silence inside was terrifying.

Wei Qing shouted upstairs, "Open the door, it's me!"

On the gatehouse, a general glanced at Wei Qing, his face showed disdain, and shouted, "Your Majesty has an order, the whole city is under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"

Wei Ning frowned and said, "Li'er wouldn't give such an order, this must be my aunt's idea!"

Gonggong Zhao stepped forward and shouted in a sharp voice, "Presumptuous, even the princess dares to stop you, you really don't want to die!"

The general's face was expressionless, and he went to the side to rest, completely ignoring the shouting and scolding below.

In the vast capital, the streets are empty. Everyone hid in their homes because of martial law and did not dare to go out.

A soldier left the castle tower and ran all the way into the palace to report what was happening outside the city gate to Concubine Zhao.

Concubine Zhao said coldly: "Don't pay attention to it, and you are not allowed to open the door, and those who violate the order will be decided!"

"Yes." The soldier retreated.

Zhanyu couldn't help but worry at this time: "Niangniang, I heard that the front-line Northern Command Army has lost contact, do we really send troops to rescue?"

"The defeat is their defeat, and it has nothing to do with us. If we are sure that Zheng Jun will win, we will flee to Jiaozhou. Anyway, it's the same wherever you become an emperor." Concubine Zhao sneered.

In this woman's heart, there is only power and selfish desires, not the world and the people.

Even Zhanyu knew that he would not be able to sit on the throne in this way, so he still wanted to persuade him, but he was interrupted by Concubine Zhao before he could speak.

"I advise you not to say much, it's not your turn to be a slave to do things in this palace!"

"You ......" Zhanyu was so angry that his face turned green.

……

Outside the city, Wei Qing was already crying with pear blossoms and rain, kneeling on the ground and begging the defenders to open the door.

Zhao Gonggong was distressed when he saw it, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously: "As long as you are willing to open the door, the life of the old slave can be given to you!"

"Sister......" Wei Ning knelt on the side, crying like a tearful person.

The wind chimes slammed the city gate in front of him, and his eyes were red.

This scene, even the defenders on the city tower were a little unbearable to watch.

Several soldiers stood up at this time and persuaded, "Princess, don't cry anymore, we can't help ourselves, we can't help it......

"I...... My husband was on the front line, fighting bloodily for the Southern Wei Dynasty. He's behind bars now, and all I ask you is to help him, please!" Wei Qing choked up.

In the silence of the capital, this cry is particularly harsh.

I don't know how long it took, Wei Qing's voice was hoarse......

In the capital, in front of the door of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, there were many guards of Concubine Zhao.

They are on special guard here today, and they are not allowed to come out.

But at this moment, the door of Shangshu Mansion was kicked open, and Xu Kailin's figure appeared at the door. He was wearing a silver armor at this time, and he was not angry and arrogant!

"Lord Shangshu, Your Majesty has an order, you are not allowed to come out......

The guard was halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Xu Kailin.

"Shut your dogs!" Xu Kailin scolded, "You don't dare to go, Lao Tzu goes!"

As he spoke, he walked out of Shangshu Mansion with hundreds of people and walked out of the city.

The guards were so frightened by this momentum that they didn't dare to stop it.

Xu Yan followed beside him in armor, his face was a little afraid, and then he asked, "Father, ...... Are we really going to war?"

"Are you scared?"

"Aren't you scared...... The main thing is that we are just Chinese courtiers, and we are afraid that we will be sent to death......" Xu Yan was trembling all over.

"We old things, we were all generals who followed the first emperor to conquer the country! Don't think that after a few good days, you and I will be literati!" Xu Kailin spat at this uncompetitive son, and said sharply:

"Lao Tzu told you that when the country was destroyed, there were no ministers in the Southern Wei Dynasty!"
