In the Northern Yuan Dynasty, in the golden tent, Xiao Sihai sat on the main seat, the most noble woman in the world, looking at the secret fold in her hand, silent.

Kneeling below was a minister of civil and military affairs, and the right and left kings stood on either side.

Some of the well-informed courtiers already knew what was going on and were thinking about what to say later.

And those who were ignorant knelt in fear, wanting to ask someone, but because of the majesty of the queen, they could only hold back their words in their hearts.

Xiao Sihai put down the secret fold, his voice was soft, but full of majesty, and he only heard her say: "King Yan is about to lead his troops south, you say, should the widow help him?"

As soon as these words came out, the DPRK and China were in an uproar.

King Zuo Xian took a step forward, knelt down on the ground and said: "King, the minister thinks it's okay, this is the opportunity we have been waiting for for many years, even if there is a conspiracy afterwards, the sons under his command can retreat calmly." ”

It was rare for King Youxian, who had always been at odds with him, to approve of this proposal, and he knelt down and said: "This matter is not harmful to Dayuan Baili, and the Zhou people say that if you don't take it, you will be blamed for it." Although the minister didn't know why King Yan made such a decision, according to the news from the secret agent, those troop movements were real, and this alone was enough for us to do it. ”

After the two finished speaking, the ministers began to tell their thoughts, and there was a commotion in the golden tent for a while.

Xiao Sihai was annoyed by the noise, waved his hand, and the ministers immediately stopped talking.

She stood up from her throne, "This is indeed my chance, my father was forced to withdraw from the Northland and recuperate in the grassland, which is really a great shame. ”

However, even if it is an opponent, the widow has to admit that King Yan is indeed remarkable. Or maybe it's just a plan in advance. ”

Xiao Sihai stood with his hands in his hands and said loudly: "This time, no matter what, we must take back the lost place!"

"The ministers are willing to die for the king!"

......

The north is bitterly cold, many places are dead places where there is no way to walk, and now there are only two roads that can trade with the Northern Yuan, and the road is narrow and difficult to travel in one day, and many caravans will go out of the customs with this.

The other is unobstructed and wide, but it is heavily guarded all year round, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach it at all.

Pingcheng, located on the most border of the Great Zhou, was the first line of defense against the Northern Yuan. It can be said that if you want to go south, this city must be taken.

However, at this time, when King Yan withdrew the army, leaving only a few hundred city positions to maintain order, the people panicked.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the city, saying everything, and some scholars scolded King Yan for being a chaotic minister and thief, and for his own selfish desires, he disregarded the life and death of people in the world.

Many powerful families have begun to evacuate, but for the people, moving away from a place where they grew is very difficult and absolute.

Leaving one's homeland is not a joke, but a thought that is rooted in everyone's heart.

Every day, you can see some wealthy businessmen leaving with their families, and the city gate is congested.

The city guards who stayed behind were determined to die, and did not stop those who left the city, but were present to maintain order.

This also makes for an extremely interesting picture, where the exit is crowded and the entrance to the city is deserted.

At noon that day, two people came at the entrance of Heijo.

One big and one small, the big one is bald, and the small one is a child, who is being held by the hand and looking around.

When entering the city to inspect, the guards saw Wang Yu with the child, so they said: "It's not been peaceful recently, you are still running here, aren't you looking for death?" I advise you to leave quickly, where to go back and forth, and when the Northern Yuan barbarians come, it is up to you whether you are dead or alive." ”

Wang Yu smiled and shook his head, "I can't go, I promised other people's things, and I have to do it." ”

Seeing this, the guards did not say much, and waved their hands to signal them to enter.

Wang Yu took Wang Conghua into the city, most of the pedestrians on the street were panicked, if they usually came, the road must be full of stalls on both sides, but at this time there were only a few vendors, still selling things.

And most of them are very old, and there are almost no young ones.

"Are you hungry?" Wang Yu asked, "Do you want to eat something?"

Wang Conghua nodded, and the two walked towards a small noodle stall on the side of the road.

The boss was an old woman with gray hair and cloudy eyes, and she was wiping down the table, and when she saw a guest coming, a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"Two people eating noodles?"

"Well, two bowls of beef noodles. ”

"Okay, good, but guest, the grain in Chengli has risen sharply recently, you see the price..."

"How much is a bowl?"

"Ten cents. ”

Wang Yu smiled when he heard this, took out a tael of silver from his arms, and put it on the table, "Put more beef." ”

The old woman picked up the silver, bit it with her teeth, and when she was sure that it was true, her expression became more enthusiastic, and she left the table in three or two steps to cook noodles.

Wang Conghua came to a strange place, a little scared, sat next to Wang Yu, and carefully looked at the passers-by.

It didn't take long for the old woman to come over with noodles and put a lot of chopped green onions on top of the beef, which looked very gratifying.

Wang Yu touched Wang Lianghua's little head, "Eat." ”

The little girl, who was already hungry, jerked her head and picked up her chopsticks and ate it.

The old woman watched the two of them eat noodles with a very kind expression, and then shook her head and sighed.

She picked up the rag and began to wipe down the table again.

Wang Yu quickly finished eating a bowl of noodles, and seeing that he had been busy, he asked, "Old woman, I see that business here is not very good, why don't you rest for a while?"

"I've been doing it all my life, and I can't be idle. ”

"Oh, are your old children still there?" Wang Yu hesitated, but still asked.

The old woman was stunned, smiled, and said with a little pride: "Yes, you have seen him when you entered the city." ”

Wang Yu thought of the city guard, "I see, then you are so blessed." ”

The old woman shook her head, "What is not a blessing, my old man died for this city back then, and now his son is also going to die for it, it can only be said that it is fate, there is no way." ”

"No, no one will die in this city. Wang Yu said softly.

The old woman's eyes are not good, but her ears are very sharp, and after hearing this, she sighed: "The old man saw the Northern Yuan barbarians when he was young, and everywhere they walked, there were all corpses all over the field, where would people live? I don't know what His Royal Highness King Yan thinks, have you forgotten what you once said!"

"If you beg for mercy, will you be able to live?" Wang Yu suddenly asked.

"Alas, if you can live, there won't be so many people who want to leave, guest, I advise you to eat this bowl of noodles, let's leave quickly, it won't be long before the Northern Yuan barbarian comes, and he won't be able to leave." ”

At this time, Wang Lianghua also finished eating, and was pricking up his ears to listen to the two talking, after the old woman finished speaking, she retorted: "My son-in-law is the most powerful person in the world, and he will not die!"

The immature voice made the old man look a little dazed, and after coming back to his senses, he smiled bitterly, shook his head and did not speak.

Wang Yu left the noodle restaurant with Wang Conghua, found an inn nearby that was still open, and after paying the money, he was ready to stay.
