Only Shen Youxia was left alone and waited anxiously in the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion.

In the end, Chu Jinpeng was sent to Duancheng overnight to quell the chaos, but Shen Jing and Zhu Yunyan, who came back together, had anxious and sad faces.

"Grandfather, Duancheng is Brother Chu's hometown, he is deeply rooted there, and the rebellion should be put down soon."

Shen Jing shook his head, "I'm afraid the matter of Duancheng is not that simple. ”

The distance between Duancheng and Xiyang City is less than 100 miles, and the rebels of Duancheng may attack Xiyang City at any time. Without adequate preparation, the rebels would not dare to act rashly.

Where exactly this wave of rebels came from and what their purpose was, the court did not know at all.

That's the most terrifying, the most disturbing.

The fact is indeed the same as Shen Jing's prediction, on the third day after Chu Jinpeng arrived in Duancheng, the number of rebels increased suddenly, and troops rose up in several surrounding towns to besiege Duancheng.

All of a sudden, Duancheng became a lonely city.

The nearest reinforcements will take ten days to arrive, and there are 50,000 troops in Xiyang City, but if these troops are allowed to rescue Duancheng, then Xiyang City will become an empty city.

There is no power to resist, and if other rebels attack again, Xiyang City, the capital of Chu Qin, will have no power to resist.

The troops of Xiyang City are absolutely immovable, and even the emperor has ordered the surrounding guards to return to Xiyang City to guard the safety of the capital.

Therefore, Duancheng, where Chu Jinpeng is located, is ready to be abandoned to some extent.

"Grandfather, we can't watch Brother Chu waiting in Duancheng to be killed by the rebels, we have to find a way to rescue him."

No one knew that Chu Jinpeng, who had eaten and drank for a short time, would be able to hold out for a few days with the soldiers and civilians of Duancheng.

Shen Youxia had not encountered this incident in her previous life, there was no rebellion in Duancheng, and Chu Jinpeng had not gone to quell the chaos, she took it for granted that Duancheng's judgment and Chu Jinpeng's crisis at this time were caused by her own rebirth.

"I also want to go to the rescue, but the emperor doesn't allow it, what else can we do?"

Chu Jinpeng is the only grandson of his old friend and the only bloodline of the Chu family, if it weren't for the emperor's personal order, Shen Jing would not be so in a dilemma and anxious.

"Grandfather, we can't watch Brother Chu being surrounded like this, I will take a hundred people to investigate the situation first, at least let Brother Chu know that we are thinking of a way outside, and we can't let him lose confidence."

Shen Youxia flashed with a flash of inspiration, and he didn't think about it so much, and directly said his plan.

"No, it's too dangerous."

No one knew what was going on in Duancheng, all the news was the result of spies watching from a distance, and no one knew about the situation in Duancheng.

In a chaotic situation, Shen Jing said that it was impossible to agree with Shen Youxia to take someone to find out the news.

"Grandfather, I heard Grandpa Chu mention a secret passage when I was in Duancheng, I'll go and see, I won't put myself in danger."

Shen Youxia didn't lie about this, she did hear Chu Xin mention it, but at that time, she was listening to it as a story and didn't take it too seriously, so she could only find this secret passage if she went to Duancheng, and she couldn't tell others with empty words and white teeth.

"This ......"

Shen Jing hesitated, he really wanted to save Chu Jinpeng, but he was even more afraid that Shen Youxia was in danger.

Shen Youxia's words made him see the hope of rescuing Duancheng, but he couldn't ignore the danger that Shen Youxia might encounter.
