Seeing this, Lian Jirou knew that she couldn't persuade him, and she didn't say anything more.

Li Yunxing turned around and ordered a few soldiers defending the city, "You go and count all the defenders of Zhijiang City, as well as the weapons stockpile." At the same time, the city defense was strengthened, leaving only the main city gate passable. ”

"All the sentry posts were increased, and the whole city was put under martial law. In case of any abnormality, take the beacon as the letter. Remember to move fast, and Hongu will come later. ”

Several generals made a promise.

Although they didn't understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was suddenly as nervous as if he was facing a great enemy, everything was based on His Royal Highness the Prince's orders, and they hurriedly rushed back to the city to take inventory.

At about noon, Li Yunxing was taking stock in the county treasury.

There were less than fifty defenders in the entire city of Zhijiang, and there were six outposts outside the city, which had now doubled their strength to protect them, and there were very few people available in the city.

The armory is even more old, and even many of the long knives and iron guns in the warehouse are rusted due to this continuous rainy season, and can hardly be used for combat.

Li Yunxing thought about it for a while, this city wall is towering, if there is no siege equipment, even if the enemy army is given a year, it will be difficult to capture this Zhijiang City, so there is no need to worry too much.

At this moment, shouts came from outside the door.

"His Royal Highness the Prince! Wake up, wake up! A pharmacy guy rushed to Li Yunxing.

Because the speed was too fast, he didn't even stabilize the next plate, and almost fell, but fortunately, the deputy general next to him quickly helped him.

"What's wrong?" Li Yunxing asked.

"Your Highness, go and take a look, that person has woken up......," the little guy gasped and said.

When the man woke up, he said that he would immediately ask the prince for everything.

His master almost didn't stop him left and right, and this little guy quickly rushed to the county mansion to ask for a ride.

"Well, lead the way!"

Li Yunxing's spirits were lifted, and the accounts in his hands were almost counted, and Li Yunxing handed them over to the deputy general.

Then he followed the little maid and walked all the way through the streets and alleys to the only pharmacy in the city.

Outside the door, there was a banner with the word "medicine", which had been a time-honored brand for decades, and even the flag had been washed slightly white.

When Li Yunxing walked in, he could smell a strong smell of herbs.

In the center of the lobby are filled with herbs, and a gray-haired pharmacist is guarding a boiler to decoct medicines. There were also two guys next to him, busily carrying medicine jars and spoons.

Seeing Li Yunxing coming in, the three of them immediately stopped what they were doing and bowed to him, "See His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Li Yunxing waved his hand to excuse him, "What's the situation?" ”

"Now the situation is still dangerous, but he must ask to see the prince, and the old man has no choice but to send his apprentice to invite the prince to come."

Li Yunxing nodded, did not blame the pharmacist, and then walked straight to the recliner.

The tattered clothes of the guard had been replaced, and the white bandages on his body had been helped, oozing traces of blood.

His pale face had regained some blood, and he lay on the bed and closed his eyes, and slowly opened his eyes when he heard footsteps.

When he looked up at the other man, his pupils contracted suddenly.

Quickly wanted to turn over and get out of bed and salute His Royal Highness the Prince.

Li Yunxing hurriedly held him down, "You have an injury, you don't have to salute." ”

The guard nodded, his eyes were very excited, he rushed all the way to Zhijiang City, and there were countless times when he was almost unconscious and was about to fall off his horse, and finally survived with tenacious perseverance.

"Tell Hongu first, what have you been through in the past few days?"

The guard swallowed his saliva, as if he remembered the thrilling experience these days, and still had some heart palpitations, but he still tried to calm down and tell the story of what he had experienced.

After receiving Li Yunxing's order to answer the order of King Zhaoyang, he and another person set up their horses and rode away along the official road.

The silence along the way was terrifying, which made them suspicious, but they did not dare to delay.

It wasn't until he reached the border of Jingzhou that he finally met the men and horses of King Zhaoyang.

The two immediately handed over the handwritten letter of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the King of Zhaoyang, and at this time, the team of the King of Zhaoyang had about 100 people, plus the men and horses mobilized by Qianyue Mountain from other places, there were more than 300 people.

King Zhaoyang led 100,000 stones of grain to Jingzhou County Government to solve Jingzhou's urgent needs first, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of stones will be sent to Jingzhou in two installments within half a year.

There is no problem with this arrangement, in ancient times, wooden oxen and horses were used to transport grain, and the speed of transporting grain was not fast, and it required a lot of manpower.

The problem is that after they entered Jingzhou, it was as if they were being targeted.

None of the scouts sent by King Zhaoyang to explore the road returned, and the entire official road was terrifyingly quiet.

"Lord Wang, do you want to go on?" Qianyue Mountain asked with a frown.

After Ning Hanyu came to find Liu Zhongqing before, Qianyueshan returned to Jingzhou with a team of cavalry and came to protect Su Zhaoyang.

But what is the situation today......

"Lord Joiner, has there been any change in Jingzhou recently?"

Qianyue Mountain's eyes rolled, if King Zhaoyang knew that someone in Jingzhou had rebelled, it would definitely cause a huge earthquake.

They are now not far from Jingzhou, coupled with the prestige of King Zhaoyang and the popularity of the people under his command, they will never allow any young people to offend, and these rangers who want to come to the south of Jingzhou do not dare to make a mistake.

He was silent for a moment before returning, "Of course not. ”

Su Zhaoyang nodded, "That's fine, maybe we are in a hurry too fast, everyone will rest for a long day, and wait for the news of the scouts before setting off." ”

Hearing this, Qianyue Mountain immediately breathed a sigh of relief, if King Zhaoyang found out about what he had just hidden, his head would probably have moved long ago.

Qianyue Mountain was ordered to go down and arrange for all the teams to rest in place.

Su Zhaoyang also took the time to study the terrain of Jingzhou, and this time he received Li Yunxing's edict to Jingzhou for disaster relief.

He must make an appearance to let Emperor Wu see his value, not to mention that the scars on his back are still painful, reminding him not to forget that he still has revenge!

In the middle of the night, the moon rises, and the stars fill the starry sky, shining on the earth.

Su Zhaoyang was sitting by the fire, roasting firewood to keep warm, when suddenly a cold wind hit and blew out the flames.

Immediately, with a "bang", a flying arrow shot out from the shadows and came straight towards Su Zhaoyang's front door.

Su Zhaoyang sensed the crisis, picked up the saber next to him and blocked it in front of his chest.

There was a crisp "ding" sound, and the arrow hit the blade and fell to the ground.

"Who!" Su Zhaoyang roared angrily.

Whoosh! Three more arrows were fired, all of them coming to his face.

Su Zhaoyang got up and immediately left the place, avoiding the first wave of attacks, and at the same time drew his sword to cut off the second arrow, successfully dodging the second wave of attacks.

"Someone sneak attacked! All troops on alert! Su Zhaoyang shouted angrily.
