At this time, Tai Hao remembered those friends who were in Pinghe City, so he arched his hand to Lord Chengfan and asked, "Lord Chengfan, I wonder if you know what the current situation of the officials sent to Pinghe City by the imperial court is?" ”

Before Lord Chengfan could speak, Xuan Yu continued: "I know what you want to ask, I have long heard about what you and your retinue officials have done for the people in Pinghe City. You are worried about the safety of your entourage, I can understand. At the beginning, in order to escape from going to Tubo and relatives, Princess Sangya secretly ran to Pinghe City to seek refuge with you, but after the war, I didn't have any news of her, until a year ago, I learned that she made her own decisions and married the champion Shaoling......"

When Taihao heard the emperor say that Sonya married Shaoling, he immediately felt a little incredible, because in his opinion, Shaoling has always liked Nianyu, why did he marry Princess Sangya again? He couldn't help but wonder, how much had happened in the past two years? He couldn't help but ask the emperor, "Then where are they now?" ”

Xuanyu said: "Half a year ago, I sent troops to rescue them, Feng Shaoling became a concubine, before I came to Tianxue City this time, in order to avoid the panic of the people of Thousand Winds City, I let Shaoling stay in the palace, Sonya did not want their husband and wife to separate, and now they are still in the palace. ”

Tai Hao said: "Isn't that very dangerous. ”

Xuan Yu said: "Although I have left Thousand Winds City, it is still difficult for the rebels to attack and enter the palace, because there are still 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed there. ”

Tai Hao said: "I don't know where the other officials who were in Pinghe City are now?" ”

Xuanyu didn't speak, and Cheng Fan replied: "After the war, the loyal ministers and generals of the imperial court in Pinghe City fought hard to resist, but the result was that the death was dead, and the surrender was surrendered, and many of them have been imprisoned by traitors so far, and the whereabouts of Lord Canggu, the general of Luyang City, are still unknown......

When Taihao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a burst of regret and helplessness in his heart. He is well aware that the cruelty and ruthlessness of war often cause ordinary people to lose too many things, including relatives, friends and homes.

Xuanyu looked at Taihao's expression and smiled slightly: "Taihao, don't be too sad." Although many loyal generals have unfortunately died, we must not give up our resistance, we must continue to fight, and we must fight against the traitors for the sake of our country and our people. ”

Taihao nodded, indicating that he had understood what the emperor meant. He decided to fight harder and do his part for his country.

Xuan Yu said again: "Taihao, your loyalty and courage make me admire it very much. I believe that with you on the battlefields of the Eastern Empire, we will be able to defeat the rebels and defend our homeland. ”

Tai Hao arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, when can Wei Chen go to the front line?" ”

Xuan Yu pondered for a moment and said, "I want to discuss with several ministers tonight, and I will inform you of the date of the army tomorrow, and you can return to Tianxue City overnight today and wait for my will tomorrow." ”

At this time, Ying Yu, who had been sitting next to him and did not speak, got up and arched his hand to the emperor and asked, "Your Majesty, may I ask if the people's daughter can be with Taihao...... Adults going to the battlefield together? ”

Xuan Yu glanced him up and down, and then sighed softly: "Your sister Xuanyu is now uncertain about her life and death in Pinghe City, and when you get to the battlefield, you will see the soldiers suffering heavy casualties, you are a woman who follows to the front line, aren't you afraid of any accidents on the battlefield?" ”

When Ying Yu heard this, her face changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the people's daughter is not afraid of any accidents, and it is the honor of the people's daughter to serve the country." ”

Xuan Yu nodded and said to Ying Yu, "Okay, you can go to the battlefield with Tai Hao." But you have to remember that you must pay attention to your safety, and your safety is also my primary concern, and if you have any accidents, I will never see your master again. ”

After Taihao and Yingyu expressed their loyalty to the emperor, they bowed and walked out of the tent. The city lord of Ronggao once again walked into the tent, and after the emperor told him a few words about returning to Tianxue City tomorrow, he rode out of the Golden Bull Road with Taihao and Yingyu, and returned to Tianxue City overnight.

When we arrived at Snow City, it was already the middle of the night. There is a curfew in Snowy City, and the city gates are closed. Seeing that it was the lord of Ronggao who had returned to the city, the soldiers guarding the gate hurriedly opened the city gate. After entering Heavenly Snow City, Rong Gao said to Tai Hao: "Lord Tai Hao, during the curfew in Heavenly Snow City, the inn has long been closed now, you can go to my mansion with this official to rest for one night." ”

Tai Hao is well aware of the severity of the punishment imposed by the curfew, and he knows that if he violates the rules, he will be severely punished. Therefore, he did not refuse this request and directly agreed.

When they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, the gate of the City Lord's Mansion was closed, and when they knocked on the door, they saw that the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion was full of lanterns, and the courtyard was as bright as daytime. The housekeeper who opened the door saw that the city lord had returned, and hurriedly beckoned: "Master, you are back, the lady is in labor, it has been three hours, and she has not yet given birth......"

Rong Gao heard this and hurriedly ran to the backyard. Taihao and Yingyu also followed. They passed through the backyard and came to the room of the city lord's wife, which was full of Ronggao city lord's family, family members, and maids. When they saw the lord of the city coming, they hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

At that moment, a newborn's cry came from the room.

Hearing this cry, the family members outside the door began to talk, some clapping happily, and some silently praying for the health and safety of their children.

"It's wonderful! As soon as the city lord came, the child was born, which is really providence! A maid said excitedly.

"Yes, this shows that the relationship between the city lord and his wife is really deep." A maid next to him chimed in.

"I hope that this child can grow up healthily and become a useful talent." There are family blessings.

For a while, there was a lot of bustle outside the door, and everyone was praying for the happiness of the city lord and his wife and the future of the child.

After a while, a stable woman came out with the child in her arms and said with a smile: "Congratulations, congratulations, it's a big fat boy......

Rong Gao hurriedly stepped forward and couldn't help laughing when he saw the child's appearance.

Tai Hao and Ying Yu also stepped forward to look at the child, and Tai Hao arched his hand to Rong Gao and said, "Congratulations to the city lord for adding a son." ”

Ying Yu also saluted: "Congratulations! This kid is smart at first glance, so the city lord should give him a name. ”

Rong Gao thought for a while and said, "This official has a relationship with Lord Taihao, so how about asking Lord Taihao to help choose a name for the child?" ”

Tai Hao pondered for a moment and said: "I met the city lord of Ronggao because of the welcome of the holy car, the milk name is 'Xuan'er', and the big name is called 'Rong Xuan', and the word 'Xuan' originally means the hall where the emperor listens to the government. I hope that he can become a pillar of the country and contribute to the country and the people. ”

Rong Gao was overjoyed when he heard this, and thanked him repeatedly. Ying Yu also agreed, and said: "The name Rong Xuan has far-reaching meanings, and I believe that when he grows up, he will definitely have outstanding performance." ”

Rong Gao instructed the housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion to arrange two rooms for Tai Hao and Ying Yu, and they began to rest well, waiting for the emperor's will to arrive tomorrow.

Rong Gao instructed the housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion to arrange two spacious and bright rooms for Taihao and Yingyu, the furnishings in the rooms were simple and comfortable, and the window was a quiet and peaceful night scene. After Taihao and Yingyu walked into the room, they washed up first, and then lay down on the soft bed, feeling the relaxation and comfort of their bodies. They close their eyes, soak up the tranquil atmosphere, and enjoy a rare moment of rest.

Soon after, Taihao sat up from the bed, walked to the window, and looked at the night scene outside the window. He felt relieved and his thoughts became clearer. He remembered the emperor's summons tonight, and his heart was a little nervous, but at the same time, he was full of expectation and confidence.

Yingyu lay quietly on the bed, listening to the sound of insects outside the window, and feeling the tranquility of the night. She recalled the happy times she used to have with her sister Xuanyu, and couldn't help but smile, but the smile didn't stay on her face for long. Because she is very worried about her sister's safety now, she hopes to hit Pinghe City this time and see Xuanyu.

Both Taihao and Yingyu know that tomorrow's emperor's will will determine their future. They will do their best to complete the task and live up to the expectations of the emperor and the country. They believed that as long as they united and worked together, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and defeat the rebels.

Taihao and Yingyu rested in the city lord's mansion for one night, and when they got up the next morning, a family member hurriedly called them up and informed them that the emperor's decree had arrived.

Tai Hao, Ying Yu and the city lord of Ronggao hurriedly ran to the courtyard to greet them.

It was Lord Seungbeom who only listened to the reading of the decree, and he shouted, "The decree has arrived!" Rong Gao and Taihao take the order! ”

Rong Gao and Tai Hao led the crowd to kneel on the ground and said in unison: "Weichen takes the order!" ”

Cheng Fan read aloud: "I heard that the people of the world want to live and work in peace and contentment, and the government of the country should be people-oriented. Today, there is a rebellion that disturbs the community, and I am deeply saddened. He was specially ordered to lead the troops to quell the rebellion seven days later, so as to put down the rebellion as soon as possible and restore social peace. At the same time, the edict decreed that Rong Gao, the city lord of Tianxue City, would gather 200,000 soldiers and horses in the city from today, and the convening would be completed within seven days, and it would be handed over to Xuan Cheng and Tai Hao to command. Chin this! ”

When Taihao heard the holy decree, his heart was full of responsibility and mission. But he still had some doubts in his heart, why would the emperor let himself lead the troops to quell the rebellion with His Royal Highness King Cheng. Lord Chengfan also told himself the day before yesterday that His Royal Highness King Cheng also had the intention of usurping the throne and rebelling, but why did he give him military power.

After the promulgation of the holy decree, Taihao took Lord Chengfan aside and asked in a low voice, "Lord Chengfan, didn't you say that the emperor is guarding against His Royal Highness King Chengwang from usurping the throne?" Why did he give His Royal Highness King Cheng the right to fight again this time, and let His Royal Highness King Cheng jointly lead the troops? ”

Cheng Fan arched his hand and said: "Lord Taihao, the emperor will personally explain this matter to you, this afternoon, the emperor's holy car will arrive in Tianxue City, and we will go out of the city together to greet you." ”

Taihao asked, "The emperor's body is fine now?" ”

Cheng Fan replied with a smile: "The emperor's body has recovered well, and he will set off at midnight this morning and arrive at Heavenly Snow City in the afternoon." ”

He paused and continued: "Although the emperor's condition has been well controlled, it still needs to go through a period of recuperation before his physical condition can completely improve. The emperor will arrive in Snowy City as soon as possible in order to personally supervise the process of counterinsurgency and at the same time reassure the people. ”

Tai Hao continued to ask, "Will His Royal Highness King Cheng follow the emperor?" ”

Cheng Fan shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness King Cheng did not come with the emperor, he is now stationed in Lingchuan City. The emperor has sent officers and soldiers to send the holy decree over. Exactly where you meet, we have to wait for the emperor's arrangement. ”

Taihao was a little disappointed when he heard the news. He originally thought that His Royal Highness King Cheng would come to Heavenly Snow City with the emperor, so that they could discuss the battle plan together. But now it seems that he can only wait for the emperor's arrangement in Heavenly Snow City.
