In Yujing City, Yuyuan.

It was late at night, but the lights in the garden were still bright, the eldest princess of Xiangyang closed the play, and the maid brought over a bowl of hot lotus seed soup in a timely manner, "Your Highness, eat something, you didn't have time for dinner." ”

The eldest princess of Xiangyang raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, and asked the maid to put the bowl on the table.

As soon as she picked up the spoon, there was a notice at the door, "Miss is here." ”

Yin Dushang entered the door, handed the cloak to the maid on the side, walked in, and saluted the eldest princess of Xiangyang, "Mother." ”

"How is King Ning's preparations?" The eldest princess of Xiangyang asked.

"King Ning has already led people to count the treasury, and distributed all the fireworks, gunpowder, and oil stored over the years to the various city gates, and several places in the city where women and children can be placed. In addition, the guards of the various prefectures were also counted and hidden in the city in batches. ”

Yin Dushang told him a few more details that had been agreed upon before.

The eldest princess of Xiangyang nodded, and then said: "In this garden, there is a secret passage, which can go straight to the outside of the city, if there is that day, you must leave in advance." ”

"Mother, I'm not leaving!" After talking about business, when it was his turn to do private matters, Yin Dushang subconsciously rejected his mother's proposal: "I know that my mother is ready for the destruction of the city, but if the real country is ruined, even if I can escape, what will happen in the future?" Rather than living in the world, it is better to resist to the end. ”

Before that, Yin Dushang was just a teenage boudoir daughter in Yujing City, and all she played with every day was only clothing and jewelry.

But it was only in just two or three months, and Yujing City seemed to change overnight, and it was in danger.

Mo Xuanling went all the way south to fight outside the Yujing City, if it was an ordinary person, it would be fine, a noble girl like Yin Dushang would not have a chance to leave? In the past few months, her acquaintance little sisters, I don't know how many have left the capital with their families.

Even Yin Dushang, her biological father's hometown is in the south, and she is not nowhere to go.

But it seemed that overnight, she understood the words and phrases in the poems that she couldn't feel before, where the country was broken, and when Xiliang was blessed by His Majesty in the past, they could live and work in peace and enjoy wealth and glory. Now that Xiliang has lost half of the country, if Yujing falls, even if she can leave, what kind of life can she live in the future?

Yin Dushang didn't dare to think about it.

The world is unstable for a day, and all people are duckweed.

Whether she was a nobleman or a commoner, she had nothing to rely on in the midst of war.

So instead of blocking those uncertainties, it is better to take advantage of the last opportunity, as long as Yujing is held, at least Xiliang is still there, they still have a chance.

The eldest princess of Xiangyang looked at her daughter, and these days, it was rare for her to smile slightly, "You have grown up." ”

Yin Dushang was a little embarrassed to hear his mother praise like this, and when he saw that there were no outsiders in the house, he asked in a low voice, "Mother, what do you say...... Uncle, did you really die? ”

A few days ago, for some reason, the news of His Majesty's death came out, which caused the morale of the army to be disheartened, and even the city was in chaos.

There are even people who take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos in the city.

If it weren't for the mother's tough methods, she directly dragged the troublemakers to the palace gate and killed them on the spot, and the blood flowed all over the ground, I am afraid that the chaos would only get worse and worse at this time.

Since the beginning of the war, His Majesty has rarely appeared in front of people, but it still appeared a few days ago, so although the situation outside Xiliang is not optimistic, there is still an iron bucket in Yujing City.

But in fact, His Majesty has not appeared for more than a month.

Yin Dushang didn't dare to ask before, but now that the soldiers are in the city, maybe after today, or tomorrow, she is afraid that she will not even have the opportunity to talk to her mother.

The eldest princess of Xiangyang shook her head, put down the bowl in her hand, and sighed softly, "I don't know." ”

"Huh?" Yin Dushang looked at his mother in confusion.

"When His Majesty was leaving, he gave me a metaphor, do your best, and follow the trend." The eldest princess of Xiangyang frowned slightly: "Your Majesty may have expected today's situation, but I understand his temperament, if he really doesn't have a chance, he will only say that he will follow the trend." But since he said to do his best, there may be a turnaround. ”

"But where's the turnaround?"
