Seeing that Li Xiuyun was discouraged, Hongye was about to raise his sword to kill himself, and said in shock: "Princess, don't look for this short-sighted!", after speaking, he pounced and tried to snatch the sword from Li Xiuyun's hand.

Xu Zhi saw that Li Xiuyun was emotional, and was worried that Hongye would not have time to save her, so he had to jump off the beam of the house, and without waiting for the landing, a whirlwind leg kicked the long sword in Li Xiuyun's hand away. The sword flew past Li Xiuyun's left cheek and struck a pillar in the palace, making a buzzing sound.

Li Xiuyun was very frightened, her legs became weak, and she fell into Xu Zhi's arms. Hongye saw Xu Zhi descending from the sky and saving the princess's life from the hands of death, and thanked: "Thank you Xu Gongzi for saving my princess, but I don't know how Xu Gongzi broke into the palace and became a gentleman on this beam?"

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Now that Chang'an City has been broken, the eunuchs and palace maids in the inner courtyard of the palace have run out, and no one has sprinkled and swept the palaces and halls, so Xu Zhi came to take a look, I don't want to enter the princess's bedroom by mistake, and I ask the princess and the red leaf girl to forgive me for the disrespectful!"

Li Xiuyun calmed down for a while, only to find herself lying in Xu Zhi's arms, she couldn't believe her eyes, but when she heard the conversation between Xu Zhi and Hongye, she knew that she was not dreaming, she pushed Xu Zhi away and shouted: "Xu Zhi, who asked you to save me, you might as well let me die clean!", after speaking, she kept beating Xu Zhi's chest with her little hand, until she was tired, and then she got into Xu Zhi's arms and cried: "Xu Zhi, do you know? I would rather die in this palace than leave Chang'an, just to see you again!" Now that the country is ruined, I am not a princess anymore, but we can't be together! How I wish I hadn't been born in this imperial family, and I could love you happily like Zhou Yuanzhi!"

Xu Zhi listened and comforted for a while, and then Li Xiuyun stopped crying and told her story of her reluctance to leave Chang'an.

It turned out that after Li Xiuyun's troops were defeated at Tongguan, they gathered the remnants of the army and marched step by step; on the other hand, they recruited new troops from the Ming Imperial Court and quickly transferred the Fengxiang and Boye armies in the northwest to help. Tang Xi Zongzheng and Lieutenant Tian Lingzi were feeding the cranes in the palace garden, and after learning that Tongguan had been lost, they were shocked and hurriedly asked Tian Lingzi to recruit new troops in Chang'an.

The next day, the two armies of Fengxiang and Boye marched to Weiqiao, and saw that the new army of the imperial court was wearing brocade clothes and thick jackets, and was marching eastward, and couldn't help but be furious: "What merit do these recruits have, but they have brocade clothes and jade food, but our army is hungry and cold!" The two armies mutinied, began to plunder the clothes of the new army, and fought with the new army, and even some soldiers simply killed back to Chang'an City, robbed the people in the city, and burned down the people's houses.

Li Xiuyun saw that the sergeants in Chang'an City mutinied, and the situation was unknown, so he had to lead Yun Feiyang, Zhou Chen and other generals to return to Chang'an to rescue them. At this time, Tang Xizong was about to go to the temple to pray and pray for the blessing of his ancestors, when he suddenly saw Tian Lingzi and said: "The thieves have entered Chang'an, please evacuate Chang'an quickly!"

Tang Xizong was shocked: "Wasn't the thief still outside the gate yesterday?

Tian Lingzi replied: "Long live, this is a true thing, now Chang'an City is rampant with bandits, looting everywhere, the people have fled out of the city for refuge, now Your Majesty does not leave, when the city gate is blocked, it will be too late! Please also ask Your Majesty to leave immediately!", after speaking, without waiting for the consent of the Emperor, he ordered his subordinates to escort 500 soldiers to set off.

Tang Xizong was frightened by him, and hurriedly returned to the palace, only bringing three concubines, and the four kings of Fu, Mu, Tan, and Shou, just out of the palace, just ran into Li Xiuyun and his party.

Tang Xizong hurriedly shouted: "Yun'er, you came just in time, hurry up and take refuge in the west with your father!"

Li Xiuyun replied: "Father, now there are only some stragglers in Chang'an City, and the brigade of grass robbers is still in Huazhou, a hundred miles away. As long as the father and emperor dispatch the left and right gods in the palace, they can quell the civil strife in the city. As long as we mobilize the army and the people and work together to fight the thieves, this Chang'an City is high and deep, and it will take a month or two to take the grass coars, and then all the towns in the world will inevitably come to King Qin, and our army will come to attack inside and outside, and this grass cowards will definitely be able to be flattened!"

Tang Xizong snorted, and Tian Lingzi beside him said: "Princess Xiuyun, it's not an old slave who refutes your face. Didn't you tell Banzai before that the Huangchao rebels had fallen into the south of the Yangtze River and would not go north? What is the situation now? Also, you also said to Banzai: As long as Tongguan is in danger, the thief army will not be able to fly over, so what about now? This time it is about the safety of the emperor and the happiness of Sheji, and long live you must not listen to Princess Xiuyun this time!"

Tang Xizong said again: "Yun'er, you are still a child, you must not be rash, this Chang'an is lost, we can take it back, if we lose our lives, there will be nothing! Listen to my father's persuasion and evacuate Chang'an with my father, right?"

Li Xiuyun said: "Father, you don't want this gorgeous Chang'an, splendid rivers and mountains." But Yun'er can't help it, here are how many childhood memories of Yun'er are, and I also ask my father to allow Yun'er to stay in Chang'an, mobilize the army and the people, and fight to the death with Caokou!"

Tang Xizong shook his head and said, "Silly boy, my father shouldn't have let you learn literature and martial arts, and I was worried about Sheji. Yun'er, you want to do the great deeds of the emperors of Taizong and Xuanzong every day, but a man can't, how can you do it as a girl?"

Tian Lingzi saw that the people in the market were all flocking to the Yongjin Gate on the west side of Chang'an, and shouted: "Your Majesty, since the princess has made up her mind, let her stay!

Tang Xizong glanced at Li Xiuyun and sighed: "Yun'er, your father is gone, you have to take care! If you encounter any difficulties, don't forget to use the gold medal order arrow I gave you!", after speaking, under the guard of the Shence army, he drove slowly westward.

With tears in her eyes, Li Xiuyun watched her father's car disappear into the crowd, before turning her head and saying to Yun Feiyang: "General Yun, now that Chang'an City is in danger, the robbers are just around the corner. You've been with me for so many years, but I've always kept you by my side and didn't promote you, do you resent me?"

Yun Feiyang replied: "Being by the princess's side is a blessing for the subordinates, and the subordinates are willing to follow Her Royal Highness the princess all the time!"

Li Xiuyun said with a smile: "General Yun, in fact, you have always wanted to go to Jiangnan to be a feudal official, and you blame me for being too selfish and forcing you to stay by my side." Now that the Central Plains has been lost, the fall of Chang'an is a matter of time, Jiangnan is the barrier of the imperial court and cannot be lost again, you immediately take the princess's token order arrow, and replace Gao Biao as the envoy of Huainan and Zhenhai Jiedu! As for Huainan's military affairs and personnel, you can arrange it yourself!"

Yun Feiyang had such a plan in his heart, but because the princess did not let go, he had to endure it all the time, and today he listened to Li Xiuyun's words, and his heart was overjoyed, but he deliberately kept quiet and excused himself, but seeing that Li Xiuyun's words were very sincere, he bowed down and took the token order arrow in Li Xiuyun's hand, and responded loudly: "My subordinates will obey the princess's decree and will definitely help the court guard Jiangnan!" After speaking, he led Jiang Chengfeng, Jiang Chao, Ou Yangguang and others to ride away.

Hongye looked at the background of the clouds flying away, and scolded: "This General Yun, even I let him deceive, he usually talks sweetly to our princess, and he is obedient, but when it comes to the critical moment, it is all exposed! Now that Chang'an is about to break, he slipped faster than a rabbit!"

Li Xiuyun said: "Hongye, don't talk about him, his mind is not all in me, you see that the friends he has met are all green forest heroes in the south of the Yangtze River, and his thoughts have already been seen by the princess!"

He Mengjiao asked, "Since the princess understands Yun Feiyang's mind and lets him go to Jiangnan, aren't you afraid that he will set up his own door?"

Li Xiuyun said: "Sister He, this is also a helpless move, now Gao Biao is old and faint, and the court is unavailable, so you can't give Jiangnan to Huangchao, right?"

Zhou Chen was worried: "I'm afraid that it won't be as good as the princess wants, and he will not be smarter than Gao Yu when he flies to Huainan!"

Li Xiuyun asked rhetorically: "General Zhou, what is the reason for this?"

Zhou Chen replied: "Now that Yang Xingmi's power in Huainan is already deep-rooted, Gao Biao can only stabilize the morale of the army and keep Huainan from chaos by pretending to be stupid!

Li Xiuyun laughed miserably: "Originally, I didn't want General Yun to stay with the funeral, but I didn't expect to hurt him instead!"

He Mengjiao persuaded: "The princess doesn't have to blame herself, if Yun Feiyang has no selfish intentions in the south, then he will definitely not have a dispute with Yang Xingmi, if he has greater ambitions, then he is also to blame, no wonder the princess!"

Li Xiuyun led everyone to talk while returning to the Yeting Palace. At this time, because the court could not see the emperor, there was chaos, and many concubines, princesses and eunuchs fled from the palace with the jewels in the palace, and even Li Xiuyun couldn't stop them. Zhou Chen had no choice but to smash the head of a eunuch with his palm before stopping the chaos.

Li Xiuyun sighed: "How can there be eggs under the nest, General Zhou asked them to put down the palace belongings and run for their lives!", those palace maids and eunuchs were like being amnestied, they threw down the items in their arms one after another, and fled with their heads in their hands.

Li Xiuyun asked the remaining palace people to sweep the inner palace aside and put the original objects back in their original places. He Mengjiao entered the palace for the first time, and was stunned by the grandeur and momentum of the palace, standing at the gate of the palace for a long time and not daring to move.

Li Xiuyun hurriedly let He Mengjiao in, and saw that she was very curious about many strange objects in the palace, and allowed her to walk freely in the palace without being bound by etiquette, and arranged a side hall for her to stay. He Mengjiao thanked the princess, and alone, set off from the Yeting Palace, passed the Taiji Palace, and walked all the way to the empty East Palace.

He Mengjiao played again, saw that it was late, and turned back, when she passed by the Yeting Palace, she saw that the palace door was closed, and the candlelight in the palace was flickering. He Mengjiao was very curious, hiding in a dense plum blossom bush, and through the hidden window, listening to Li Xiuyun and Zhou Chen talking in a whisper.

Zhou Chen asked: "Since the princess is ready to dismiss all the palace people and insists on coexisting and dying with Chang'an, how should Hongye and He Mengjiao beside you be handled?"

Li Xiuyun said: "Hongye doesn't know martial arts, this army is in chaos, she can't go far if she is let out, but it will kill her! Just let her stay by my side!", Zhou Chen responded with a good sound.

Li Xiuyun continued: "As for Sister He, it's more troublesome, after all, she has been with me for so long, I don't want her to leave, and I have to let her leave." I don't want to be too selfish to let such a good girl bury me with her!"

Zhou Chen sneered: "Princess, you trust He Mengjiao too much, don't you think that in Orangutan Gorge, General Chen's grain and grass was robbed and had anything to do with this girl?"

Li Xiuyun exclaimed: "General Zhou, how can you say this?

Zhou Chen replied: "I interrogated General Chen of Longmen Cang in Dengfeng last time, and I found that there was something wrong with this girl. General Chen analyzed and said: He Mengjiao once sympathized with the hungry people in Longmencang and distributed rice grain to the rebellious party! At that time, the imperial court's grain transportation route was extremely secret, and it was impossible for the Shaolin rebel monks to set up an ambush in the Orangutan Gorge and launch an ambush for the hungry people to ambush the grain wagons in such a short period of time. There is only one possibility, that is, He Mengjiao leaked this news to Shaolin Temple and Xu Zhi in advance!"

Li Xiuyun asked rhetorically: "Then does General Chen have evidence?"

Zhou Chen smiled bitterly: "This matter is also General Chen's speculation, but there is no real evidence!"

Li Xiuyun sighed: "That's it, we can't prove that Sister He is an undercover agent of Shaolin Temple!"

Zhou Chen said again: "Even if this matter has nothing to do with her, He Mengjiao can't stay by her side." Last time in the Shaolin Temple, she completely ignored Jiang Chengfeng's face, and she also had to save Xu Zhi at the expense of herself, which also shows that her relationship with Xu Zhi is extraordinary! Besides, this He Mengjiao is the sister of He Menglong, the late deputy gang leader of the Changjiao Gang, when I was ordered by the princess to assassinate He Menglong in the black jujube forest of Juxian Building in Caizhou, and the matter of blaming Xu Zhi will inevitably be exposed, and this He Mengjiao will inevitably avenge her brother at that time, which is not good for the princess! So according to the opinion of her subordinates, it is better to let her leave the princess as soon as possible!"

When He Mengjiao heard this, she knew that the murderer of her brother was Zhou Chen of the imperial court, and all this was arranged by the imperial court in advance. What is hateful is that the Changjiao Gang is for their own interests, but they insist that Xu Zhi did it, and they misunderstood Xu Zhi for so long, and they also recognized the thief as their father, and worked hard for the court for so long.

The more He Mengjiao listened, the more angry she became, and she clenched the jade flute in her hand hard, only to see Zhou Chen retreat from the Yeting Palace, He Mengjiao saw that the enemy who killed her brother was in front of her, and jumped down from the tree, which was a trick "Immortal Guidance", which pierced Zhou Chen's temple. Zhou Chen saw that someone was sneaking up on him, so he didn't back down, put his hands together, and sandwiched He Mengjiao's jade flute in his palms.

He Mengjiao struggled to extract the jade flute, but she couldn't pull it out, so she had to kick Zhou Chen's lower abdomen with her flying legs, and Zhou Chen also raised her legs to greet him, and the two of them wrapped their legs together. Zhou Chen sneered: "He Mengjiao, as I expected, you are the eyeliner that the thief placed next to the princess!"

He Mengjiao took advantage of Zhou Chen's words, pulled out the jade flute in his hand, and sneered: "Phew! You killed my brother, but turned the blame on others, it's really shameless!"

Zhou Chen saw He Mengjiao raise the jade flute and smash it at the back of his head, he lowered his head to avoid it, grabbed the jade flute again, and laughed: "It turns out that you are eavesdropping on me talking to the princess, your eldest brother was killed by me, you want to avenge your eldest brother, just come here!", after speaking, a hand-led sheep dragged He Mengjiao to his side, and his right hand was a move "Black Tiger Heart" hit him.

He Mengjiao saw that Zhou Chen's shot was fast and strong, and she didn't dare to resist head-on, so she had to dodge sideways, but because the jade flute was snatched, she moved less than a foot in shape, and was crossed by Zhou Chen's palm from her waist, standing unsteadily, and falling to the ground.

Zhou Chen saw that it was an opportunity, and was about to take a step forward and abolish He Mengjiao's martial arts. At this time, Li Xiuyun suddenly appeared, blocked in front of Zhou Chen, and said: "General Zhou, we were sorry for He Menglong three years ago, and now we can't be sorry for Sister He anymore, she is also eager to avenge her brother, so she is desperate with you." You killed someone's brother before, and this princess asked you to let Sister He go today and spare her life, which is our atonement for her!"

Zhou Chen didn't dare to disobey the princess's words, so he had to throw the jade flute back to He Mengjiao, and sneered: "With this little effort, I still want to avenge my brother, and wait for another ten or eight years!"

He Mengjiao sneered: "The surname Zhou, as long as I, He Mengjiao, am still alive, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will break your body into thousands of pieces and comfort my brother's spirit in the sky! Li Xiuyun, you also have a share! Your court is insidious and cunning, and you do all the things that lack morality, so you have to be able to last a long time, I hope that Brother Xu and they will take Chang'an as soon as possible!", after speaking, he was about to staggered out of the palace.

Zhou Chen stopped He Mengjiao and shouted: "Princess, don't be merciful, if you let He Mengjiao leave, she is in the dark, we are in the light, and there will be no peace!"

Li Xiuyun sighed: "The society is about to fall, how many days can we live? It's better to do a good deed before you die, just let Sister He leave!"

Only then did Zhou Chen let go and shouted at He Mengjiao: "Since the princess has an order, don't get out of here!"

He Mengjiao sneered a few times: "Okay, then wait, let Miss Ben collect the body for you!", before the laughter ended, the person had disappeared into the thick night.
