"This matter has been expected for a long time, we have been speeding up for days and have clearly expressed my attitude, Lord Wang, you still come to ask me for my opinion?" Xia Jing glanced at him and continued lightly: "My opinion is to cross the Nanling Mountain Range as soon as possible. ”

According to the news from the letter, Youzhou, Jizhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou, the rebels who occupied Yanzhou and Qingzhou were encircled and occupied, but the soldiers and horses of the four states were not united, and they did not want to lose their soldiers and horses in vain.

This is blatant defiance!

They not only besieged but did not attack, but also negotiated conditions with the imperial court, asked for grain and grass materials, and there was no shortage of weapons and horses.

It's not the worst of all.

What's even worse is that Xirong's soldiers and horses attacked Liangzhou and Bingzhou on a large scale, and the soldiers and horses in the two states suffered countless casualties, and the people were unilaterally tortured and killed.

Xirong's soldiers and horses were ferocious, burning, killing and plundering in Liangzhou and Bingzhou, doing all kinds of evil, and they were really full of evil.

When the old emperor received these two messages, he was directly angry and vomited blood and fell into a coma, and when the letter came out, the old emperor had not woken up.

Communication was inconvenient in ancient times, eight or nine days have passed, and now I don't know what happened to the old emperor?

Mr. Zhang pressed his heart that was too fast, "The princess is right, chaos has arisen, we can only take care of ourselves first, rush to Lingnan to settle down first, and then plan later." ”

King Qian's face hesitated, the southern court on Jiankang's side belonged to their Li royal family, and said that he was not worried that it would be fake.

He still understands the principle of both glory and loss, and only if the Li royal family is passed on for eternity, can he, the prince, have a good life.

if

Alas!

"The world is difficult, we can only take one step at a time!"

Xia Jing glanced at him, and said unceremoniously: "Who can a big man show sentimentality to, according to what you said, there is only one way to die." I don't ask you to take one step and see ten steps, at least it's not too much for you to take one step and see three steps, right? ”

“.” King Qian's fat face was flushed.

Mr. Yan coughed lightly, "If the emperor doesn't wake up for a long time, the courtiers and princes will not give up, and it is possible to rush into the palace or something uncontrollable happen, and we must be prepared for the court to be in trouble at any time." ”

Xia Jing glanced at a few sons and adult grandsons who slowly surrounded her, and shook her fan, "The generals will not be subject to foreign military orders, not to mention that we are the old and young women and children of our house, and it has exhausted the power of the flood to defend Lingnan for the imperial court, how can we have the spare strength to share the worries of the imperial court!" ”

The beard on Mr. Zhang's lips trembled, and the princess's violent and uncooperative attitude was admirable: "What the princess said is very good, it is a blessing to protect Lingnan as much as she can." ”

Xia Jing frowned slightly, "The news of the emperor's coma, this concubine believes that it has been spread to the world now, in order to avoid other unforeseen accidents, we will pass by the town and try not to enter the city to rest." ”

"The princess is thoughtful, and the old man has no opinion."

As the war broke out in the north, a new group of refugees went south.

The whole world has entered a new round of refugee influx, and the emergence of refugee influx is a test for all parts of the hinterland of the Central Plains.

There is no guarantee that a new wave of rebels or unrest will be born.

The situation in the world is so chaotic that it is no wonder that the old emperor is so angry that he vomits blood and falls into a coma.

is the body at the end of the strong crossbow, and after this experience, I don't know if the old emperor can stand through this hurdle?

Five days later, King Qian's team rushed to Guiyang County, probably because the Jingzhou Assassin had already given the order, and the process of borrowing grain was extremely smooth.

Within a day of passing through the county town of Guiyang, the weather turned cloudy, and the sky became even more gloomy after their party had completely entered the Nanling Mountain Range.

"Sir, it looks like it's going to rain, are we looking for a place to camp?" The chief guard rode up to the carriage of the two gentlemen, and bowed his hand to them for advice.

Mr. Zhang put forward his own suggestion, "The terrain in the mountainous area is dangerous, you should pay attention to finding land and camping, this matter is not as good as you have led soldiers, or you decide, if you really can't make up your mind, just ask the princess." ”

The chief guard listened to the gentleman's opinion, and rode his horse to Xia Jing's carriage, driving side by side with her carriage.

Xia Jing listened to his inquiry, looked at the gloomy sky, and nodded, "Look at the thickness of the black clouds, the rain should not be small, and it is more dangerous to travel in the mountains on rainy days, you find a wide area for us to camp." ”

When the chief guard heard her words, his nervous heart relaxed a little, and he was afraid that the princess would not listen to persuasion, so he insisted on hurrying in the rain.

The further south you go, the hotter it gets.

More rain into the mountains.

After the rain, the road was muddy, and although the chief of the guard had found a wide section of road to set up camp, he was also anxious about the rest of the journey.

The tent was set up, the room had not yet made dinner, the black clouds could no longer hold the rain, the heavy rain poured down, the whole camp was immersed in rain and fog, the line of sight was only within ten zhang, and the distance was a rain and fog.

Hongmei exclaimed: "Princess, the rain has flowed into the tent, and the rain is too heavy. ”

Even though they dug a drainage ditch outside the tent when they set up their tent, it didn't do much, and it rained heavily, and the rainwater couldn't drain away, and it all flooded into the tent.

Xia Jing took a small hoe and dug the slightly lower side of the tent to surround it, so that the rain could not escape, and they could only stay on the slightly higher side tonight.

Outside the tent there were other people's exclamations, and it seemed that more than their tents had gone into the rain.

Bai Mei complained: "God doesn't look at the time when it rains, if it rains for more than ten days later, we should have already crossed the Nanling Mountain Range by then." ”

Hongmei said angrily: "You are not God's daughter, does he have to ask for your opinion when it rains?" ”

Xia Jing washed her hands and took off her shoes and sat on the couch, it was a rainy day in the mountains, and the moisture in the air was very strong.

After half an hour of heavy rain, it was a little lighter, but there was no intention of stopping.

Hongmei took out the dry food that had been prepared earlier, "Princess, the rain is too strong outside, and the slave maid thinks that the room should not have made a meal, so we will eat some dry food to fill our stomachs first." ”

"It's okay, you can sit down and eat some together." Xia Jing asked them to sit on the small pestle and rest for a while.

The cake of this era is a dead dough cake, and it is a little hard when it is cold, and the master and servant slowly gnaw it, and if they can't swallow it, they drink some cold white to moisten their throats.

Xia Jing thought that when she arrived in Lingnan, she must make yeast when she had time, and after coming to this world for so long, she missed the steamed buns in her previous life very much.

Although she is not picky about food, who doesn't want to eat better if it can be improved.

After eating and drinking, it was getting dark.

The night was spent in the sound of rain.

When she woke up the next morning, Hongmei told Xia Jing: "Princess, the eldest grandson of the long room, Li Mingtong, the young master, and the third lady of the fourth room are all infected with wind chills, and they are having a low-grade fever at this time. ”

Xia Jing put on her shoes and asked with concern, "Have you seen it all for Lang Zhong?" Does it matter? ”
