Chapter 9: The Lost Dog

The soldiers and horses guarding Gyeonggi were waiting for them, and the soldiers and horses of King Qin from all over the country did not wait, and the soldiers of Beidi did not wait either, but they first waited for the rebels who came south from the north, and attacked several counties near Gyeonggi at night.

In the end, several rebel forces gathered in the capital to form a siege!

Several counties around Gyeonggi are even more devastated like locusts crossing the border!

This ending was unexpected by the emperor sitting on the dragon chair and those officials in the court.

The people in the capital were panicked, and those who did not leave the city in advance to escape were panicking, regretting that they did not flee with their families early.

The funeral procession of King Qian's Mansion fled all night, and finally escaped from the range of the rebels near Gyeonggi when the sky was white.

After the guards who were exploring the road in front came to report, the captain of the guard squad rode to the center of the team and asked for the opinions of several masters.

"Princess, several masters, there is a forest on the hill in front of us, which is hidden enough, we can rest for a while, and when the people sent to inquire about the news come back, we will make plans."

Hearing this, Uncle Li Chengshang looked at Xia Jing with inquiring eyes.

After a night of running, Xia Jing's face was pale, her lips were chapped and peeling, but she gritted her teeth and didn't say anything.

At this time, due to the delicate and lack of exercise of the original body, no matter how strong her willpower is, she is now at the end of her strong crossbow.

Seeing that the uncle of the palace looked at her, she could only nod helplessly.

Li Chengshang breathed a sigh of relief: "Then rest in the woods in front of you." ”

Don't think that he is a man and has good control skills, in fact, he is also a prince who can read some books. After a night of bumps on the horse, the sourness of which is not enough for outsiders also.

The other masters were no better, all of them were mentally exhausted and full of vegetables.

When she arrived at the edge of the woods, Xia Jing was helped off the horse by Xiao Wu, and the two trembled, almost not sitting directly on the ground.

Seeing this, Hongmei hurriedly put the burden on her back on the ground and helped Xia Jing sit on the burden.

"Princess, be careful."

Bai Mei took the water bladder, pulled out the cork and handed it over: "Princess, you drink saliva." ”

Xia Jing took the water bladder and drank a few sips before saying to the two big girls who were circling around her: "Don't be busy, you also sit down and rest for a while, aren't you tired after a night's journey?" ”

Bai Mei took the water bladder, and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth: "Princess Xie cares, it's okay for the two of us to ride the same horse, it's not tired." The most tired are those who run on their legs after them. ”

After being reminded, Xia Jing noticed that there were dozens of subordinates at the back of the team, some men and women, wearing the clothes of the servants in the house, but they were all sallow-faced, thin, and malnourished.

At this moment, the team waited, and the group of people behind them had collapsed on the ground without any image.

"These people are the people in the house, why don't I know any of them?"

Xiao Wu Li Chengmu carried a small package and sat over, and he explained for her: "These people are strictly your slaves, and they are the subordinates who were temporarily bought the day before yesterday, and they are going to let them go to the Netherworld Mansion to wait for you for your dispatch." ”

It's just that later, he suffered a bandit on the way, and his mother and concubine also died unexpectedly and came back to life, so this matter will be over.

"Go to the Netherworld and wait for me?!"

Xia Jing's eyes widened in shock, it wouldn't be what she thought, right?

O iniquity!

I've heard of martyrdom before, but only about it.

I thought that something unattainable happened to me, how could Xia Jing be embarrassed?

Li Chengmu, a native of the little five, nodded disapprerovingly: "Well, it is their blessing to be able to go underground to wait for their mother, they are all voluntary, and if they get the money to sell their bodies and settle their families, they can wait for you with peace of mind, so the silver given by the housekeeper is twice the silver that usually sells them." ”

Xia Jing opened her mouth, but she was speechless, the times have created a prevalence of funerals, and she is powerless to refute it for the time being.

"After running all night, I'm already hungry." Xiaowu Li Chengmu opened the small package in his hand: "It's still the mother concubine who has foresight and knows how to take precautions and prepare dry food in advance." ”

As he spoke, he handed Xia Jing a baked cake, and didn't forget to boast when he was finished: "Your son and I are clever enough, and I didn't forget to bring my dry food when I came out of the inn, otherwise, we would be hungry at this time." ”

Xia Jing took the biscuit, tore a small piece and threw it into her mouth, it was very chewy, but it was a bit toothy.

A baked cake goes down, and the stomach is almost full.

Xia Jing raised her head and drank a few more sips of water, only to find that the two big girls were staring at her in surprise: "What's wrong?" ”

The two big girls shook their heads, and hurriedly lowered their heads and continued to struggle with the baked cakes.

When Xia Jing saw this, a flash of inspiration instantly flashed in her mind, remembering that when she first saw them yesterday, their eyes were complicated and difficult to understand, could it be...... The two of them were also part of the funeral?

Xia Jing doesn't know the truth about herself, and she doesn't have time to get to the bottom of it at this time. Because, everyone was attracted by the guards who came running on horseback.

The inquirer is back!

Last night, it was rebels from several nearby state capitals who raided several counties near Gyeonggi.

The rebels are called 100,000 troops, but are there really 100,000 troops?

No one bothered about this, and in the case of no other Qinwang soldiers and horses in the Gyeonggi area, even if there were less than 100,000 rabble, the 50,000 horses of the capital garrison would not dare to face each other, and the measure they would take was to defend the city.

Because today's Dayu Dynasty is shaky, it is almost the moment of life and death.

If the counterattack is successful, it is good to be able to defeat the rebels, but if it is defeated, then the emperor Lao'er's dirty pants will be lost, and there will not even be a chance to make a comeback.

The emperor can't afford to lose!

But being besieged by the rebels is not a long-term solution.

"Mother, what do you think we should do?" Li Chengshang's face was sad, at this moment, the dawn rising in the east was like a dusk and sunset, making people unable to see hope.

Xia Jing glanced at everyone and raised her eyebrows: "Didn't you have a decision in your heart, what good advice can I give you from a deep house woman who doesn't go out of the door and doesn't step out." ”

Li Chengshang was slightly shocked, he didn't expect this stepmother to not accept the offer.

He sighed and changed his words: "At this moment, my heart is very chaotic, and I really have no idea." ”

Xia Jing snorted coldly in her heart, believe in your ghost!

It's just that this good stepson of hers wants to stand up again, and wants her to be the rafter who comes out, and he hides behind to make a profit, is it possible?

The fourth master, Li Chengyi, walked over slowly with strange steps: "Big brother, you are the eldest son, you have to come up with an idea about this matter, we can't always hide in the wilderness, eat and sleep in the open, if the rebels don't retreat for a month, can we still stay in the wild for a month?" ”

After escaping like a lost dog all night, his ass is about to bloom, and if he escapes again, he will be ruined!

Uncle Li Chengshang pursed his lips tightly, and his face was serious: "That's not possible!" Everyone has to have a place to live. ”

Xiao Wu Li Chengmu scratched his head: "What is there to be embarrassed about in this matter, we will send someone to find a way to sneak into the city and rescue my father and the king, or ask other state capitals for help, and let them increase their troops to rescue." ”

Xia Jing patted Xiao Wu's head gently, the young man who is not deeply involved in the world is too stupid, how can there be a simple word in the world.
