After the army marched out, the city of Yezhou was quiet for two days.

Some of the cooking utensils borrowed before were directly given to the barracks, so Xie Zhiyun asked people to return everything that needed to be returned first, and the remaining cooking utensils were taken to the people to continue to make military rations.

This time, they didn't do much, they did it for the soldiers left behind in the big camp in the western suburbs, and they only did it during the day every day, so they were not very tired.

After six or seven days of being busy like this, Xie Zhiyun was also used to the days when the garrison was outside.

When the military rations were finished, Xie Zhiyun finally led the people to make a day's food, and then asked them to take it back to their respective streets and alleys and distribute it to the people.

Each family may only get one or two cakes, which is not much, but it is also a heart.

The war has not yet reached Yezhou, so gradually, the people have returned to their old lives.

There are still more than 20,000 defenders left in the western suburbs, because Langhuan and Taixing are very close to Yezhou, and there are only less than 10,000 defenders left in the two states, and there are about 15,000 defenders in Huzhou and other places, except for the main force in the border passes, there are less than 60,000 people left in the left and near states.

Xie Zhiyun couldn't be idle, she counted the remaining fabrics and cotton, and after discussing with Cui Ji, she distributed them to the people, asking them to make some cotton boots, and do as much as they could, and wanted to send them to the border before the end of the year.

The weather was getting colder and colder, Xie Zhiyun sat in the bedroom with a brazier, settling accounts while looking up at the sky outside.

Chaoyu had already put on her jacket, and she came in with a bowl of red date tea to warm Xie Zhiyun's stomach.

"Miss, I asked Xiao Zhong and said that there was no battle report in the past two days."

Xie Zhiyun nodded and said, "Got it." ”

As soon as Wei Cang arrived in Tongchuan, he organized manpower to set up defenses, and when the garrison led a large army to arrive, he immediately went to Fengling in person to meet the enemy outside Fengling City.

The Yu clan did not send troops.

Daqi seemed to have expected the Wei family's army to move, so when they arrived, Daqi transferred nearly 100,000 troops.

So the soldiers and horses of several parties were scorched in Fengling, and half a month passed.

It's November in a few days, and the days go by so fast.

Patience is required in fighting, and Xie Zhiyun also calmed down and arranged the affairs of Yezhou City step by step.

The master and servant were talking, and Mu Yun said outside: "Miss, Ronghua Hall is invited." ”

Xie Zhiyun was used to being invited several times a day, and she didn't ask what it was, she got up directly, took the cloak and walked out quickly.

As soon as I got out of the bedroom, a cold wind blew in my face, which made my face ache.

This year's winter is earlier than usual, Xie Zhiyun looked up at the sky, and only hoped that this year would not be so cold.

When she arrived at Ronghua Hall, everyone in the family was there.

Recently, Wei Ying has to worry about family affairs, and has moved to Ronghuatang to live with Cui Ji, and the second lady and Wei Ningan have moved to Tiyizhai together to accompany Shen Wenru.

When Xie Zhiyun sat down, Cui Ji spoke: "The city defenders have just sent a letter, saying that there have been frequent movements outside the city recently, especially in Huaiye Gate in the east of the city, and the sound is often heard in the middle of the night. ”

Xie Zhiyun frowned slightly: "What is the movement, can you find out?" ”

Wei Yao has been living in the state pastor's mansion for the past few days, and when he heard the words, he said: "Sister-in-law, it is said to be a pigeon." ”

"Every day the number of pigeons flying out of the east of the city is different, and the lights are dark, and they can't see it clearly at first, and finally they find out that it is a pigeon."

He didn't wait for Xie Zhiyun to ask, and said directly: "There is no secret letter on the pigeon, almost nothing, it is just an ordinary pigeon, not even a carrier pigeon." ”

Xie Zhiyun frowned.

Ji Xiuxiu thought for a while and asked, "Could it be a coincidence?" ”

Wei Yao sighed: "I don't know, and Fu Cheng doesn't know what's wrong." ”

He has been staying up in the state pastor's mansion for the past few days, although Xie Zhiyun and Wei Ying will go every other day, but the burden is still on his thin body.

The person in charge of the family is Xie Zhiyun, but he is also under a lot of pressure, worried about his father, brothers, and Yu Hanzhao, and he has not been able to sleep until dawn for a day.

This was the first time he had experienced such a big event, so Cui Ji didn't persuade him, let him face it by himself and get used to it.

Xie Zhiyun kept rubbing the teacup, and after a while, she suddenly raised her head: "I remember that there has been no change in Dingxi Palace. ”

Wei Ying said: "Yes, since the beginning of the war, people have been sent to surround the Dingxi Palace, and recently the Dingxi Palace has even reduced its purchases, and it will only be purchased once every other day." ”

Xie Zhiyun put down the teacup, his face a little serious.

She raised her eyes and looked at Wei Ying: "Auntie, we might as well go and visit the princess." ”

"There is a war outside, I am worried that the princess will be afraid, we have to care about the princess."

Hearing this, Wei Ying was stunned at first, and then narrowed his eyes.

Wei Ying looked at Cui Ji, and Cui Ji asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Xie Zhiyun got up directly and said to Feng Fang: "Order a thousand people to come with me." ”

After the arrangement, she looked at Cui Ji with a very heavy face: "I suspect that King Dingxi has run away." ”

Two moments later, Xie Zhiyun, Wei Yao, and Wei Ying led a team of men and horses to surround the Dingxi Palace.

When the old butler heard the news, he walked out of the palace with an ugly face, and his expression was very unhappy.

"Young lady, what do you really mean?"

Xie Zhiyun rode on the horse and looked at him condescendingly, his eyes were neither sad nor happy.

Since the war, Xie Zhiyun's clothes have become more and more simple.

She usually wears a narrow-sleeved riding costume for activities, and only wears the hairpin given to her by the garrison on her head, and the rest of the clothes are not there.

But the more she is like this, the more momentum she has on her body, which makes people with ghosts tremble when they see it.

The old housekeeper was glared at by her like this, and couldn't help but take a half step back: "Young lady, what is the place in Dingxi Palace, do you want to break in?" ”

Xie Zhiyun suddenly smiled.

She raised her hand and made a gesture of hands-on, and then said, "Old housekeeper, what kind of place is Yezhou, isn't it up to me to have the final say in Wei?" ”

After she said that, she suddenly sighed again: "The family was too busy before, and I only hurriedly asked people to protect the prince and the princess, but I never visited the house, and my aunt couldn't sleep day and night these days, for fear that the princess would be timid and scared out of illness, so I thought I would accompany my aunt to come and visit one or two." ”

"Old butler, this is a serious visit to the prince and princess, can't we?"

The old butler had been restrained by the soldiers, unable to say a word, and was so anxious that his face was red and his neck was thick, but he couldn't break free at all.

Xie Zhiyun looked up at the soldiers in the Dingxi Palace, smiling kindly.

"The old housekeeper invites us in," Xie Zhiyun looked back at Wei Ying, "Auntie, please go first." ”

Wei Ying lowered her head and wiped her non-existent tears, and then said, "My Wenchun, my mother has come to visit you." ”
