Now the ministers gathered around Emperor Ji Hao of Zhengyang are basically civil officials.

The generals were either captured or killed when they resisted the attack of the Western Chu and Eastern Min coalition forces in the Daimyo's Mansion, and even those who escaped ran away with the Zhengyang Emperor Ji Hao and others.

At this time, when he learned that the chasing soldiers were coming, including Zhengyang Emperor Ji Hao himself, he panicked.

Zhengyang Emperor Ji Haogui is the Son of Heaven, he has been living in the palace since he was a child, living a luxurious and comfortable life, where has he ever encountered a war?

Ji Hao looked at the ministers around him in a panic, and asked in a loud voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, what should I do now?"

The ministers drooped their heads, no one answered, and no one even dared to look up at Zhengyang Emperor Ji Hao.

At this moment, someone behind the audience suddenly said, "Father can go first, and leave the rest to his daughter." ”

Hearing the words, people looked back one after another, and the person who spoke was not someone else, it was the princess Ji Danqi.

At this time, Ji Danqi was still wearing the princess's gorgeous and noble dress, but the white brocade was already covered with mud and dust.

In the month of her escape, Ji Danqi has also lost a lot of weight, her round cheeks are sunken, and her clothes that originally fit now look slightly fat.

During this time, the biggest change may be Ji Danqi......

Originally, she was the eldest princess of the empire, and she didn't need her to do anything.

And now, the princess of the empire has become a homeless princess in exile.

The immaturity and innocence in her before were gone, replaced by maturity beyond her years.

Regarding the critical situation and difficulties in front of her, Ji Danqi adapted much faster than Zhengyang Emperor Ji Hao, which is also where she is stronger than Zhengyang Emperor Ji Hao.

Zhengyang Emperor Ji Hao's favorite is Ji Danqi's daughter, hearing her say that she wants to stay to stop the enemy, how can Zhengyang Emperor Ji Hao agree?

Ji Hao walked up to Ji Danqi and said, "No, that's too dangerous, you have to go with your father." ”

Ji Danqi smiled bitterly, everyone on his side was exhausted to the extreme, and he had so many family members, how could he outrun the vanguard cavalry of others?

If there is no one to stop them, it will not be long before the enemy catches up, and no one will be able to leave.

She said urgently: "Father, now is not the time to be rash, if Father doesn't leave, it's really too late." ”

Zhengyang Emperor Ji Hao's fist loosened, clenched and loosened, but until the end, he was reluctant to leave his daughter and run for his life first.

Ji Hao looked around, and finally his gaze fell on the Houjin River Xincheng that was close at hand.

Ji Hao took a deep breath and strode towards the gate of Hexin City.

The Later Jin Dynasty had closed Hexin City, and there were still many Jin soldiers guarding the city, seeing the Son of Heaven walking alone, Ji Danqi and all the ministers were startled and chased forward.

Ji Danqi grabbed him and said urgently: "What is my father going to do......"

Zhengyang Emperor Ji Hao said in a condensed voice word by word: "Let the Jin soldiers open the city gate for me." ”

Everyone said nothing to each other.

Since the Later Jin Dynasty had closed the border, they had already made up their minds not to let them enter the city.

The matter has come to this point, even if the Son of Heaven comes forward, I am afraid that nothing will help.

In fact, Emperor Ji Hao of Zhengyang couldn't even get close to the moat, and there were arrows to take the lead in meeting Emperor Zhengyang......

An arrow was nailed less than twenty steps in front of Zhengyang Emperor Ji Hao.

"If you dare to take another step forward, we will shoot arrows in unison!"

The man on the wall opened his mouth in warning.

Hearing this, Emperor Zhengyang was so angry that he even blackened, and even his anger had overpowered the fear in his heart.

Emperor Ji Hao of Zhengyang didn't listen to the warning on the city wall, took two steps forward, and shouted back loudly: "I am a dignified son of heaven, who dares to release arrows at me?"

Hearing the words of Emperor Ji Hao of Zhengyang, the Jin general who put the arrows on the city wall was also taken aback, and looked at the people outside the city carefully......

General Jin was silent for a moment, then arched his hand and chuckled: "In Xia Zhu Zhao, because of his armor, he can't salute His Majesty, and I still look at Your Majesty Haihan......"

How could Zhengyang Emperor Ji Hao be in the mood to listen to his nonsense?

Ji Hao raised his head and said: "You quickly open the city gate, put down the drawbridge, and welcome me into the city!"

I?

Welcome me into the city?

Ji Hao still thinks he is the Son of Heaven?

It's ridiculous......

Zhu Zhaopi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being difficult to obey, the king of my family has ordered the closure of Hexin City, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, and if Your Majesty wants to enter the city, he must have an order from the king of my family." ”

"Bold!"

Zhengyang Emperor Ji Hao was angry, and shouted: "You are only a descendant of Jin, you dare to be rude to me, what crime should you be guilty of......?"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Zhao had already raised his head and laughed.

"Your Majesty, although you are a subordinate of the Later Jin Dynasty, you are much stronger than the dog who lost your family......"

If he still had some restraint before, it was now a naked mockery.

Emperor Zhengyang was trembling with anger, and pointed at Zhu Zhao at the head of the city: "Rebellious ministers and thieves, what a bold ......"

Ji Danqi in the back couldn't stand it anymore, stepped forward, supported his crumbling father, and said, "Father, let's go quickly, why bother to humiliate yourself......"

"What kind of emperor am I......"

"What kind of ...... is it?"

Zhengyang Emperor Ji Hao came back to his senses, turned his head to look at Ji Danqi, was sad, and said in a trembling voice: "Every son of the minister dares to insult Yu ......."

Listening to Emperor Zhengyang's self-talk, Ji Danqi's tears fell again, and the ministers behind him hugged their heads and cried.

Outside Hexin City, there was a mournful roar.

But at this moment, I suddenly saw smoke and dust behind me, and people subconsciously looked up, and their hearts trembled in fright.

The dust was flying, obscuring the sky and the sun, and the ground trembled......

This is not a brigade of cavalry, what else could it be?

Ji Danqi reacted and hurriedly said: "The chasing soldiers have arrived, my father is leaving......

Zhengyang Emperor Ji Hao looked at the dust that was overwhelming in the distance, and his expression had become blank......

Walk?

Where else can I go?

The world is so big that there is no place for itself......

He muttered with a dull gaze: "I can't leave, I'm tired, if the two countries of Western Chu and Eastern Min want to catch me and kill me, let them come......"

"Your Majesty!"

When the ministers heard this, they wept and shouted, and they knelt down and kowtowed.

Or not......

Ji Danqi turned her heart sideways, and held Zhengyang Emperor Ji Hao's hand tighter, she turned her head sideways and shouted: "Lord Duan!"

"The minister is here!"

Duan Lingshu agreed, stepped forward, and bowed.

"Array!"

Ji Danqi took a deep breath and said, "I'll fight to the death with the enemy soldiers!"

Duan Lingshu was an imperial lieutenant, second only to the general.

Although he no longer has military power in his hands, now that the general is gone, he is the highest general in the army.

Hearing Ji Danqi's order, Duan Lingshu looked up at Ji Danqi.

At this time, Ji Danqi's face was only determined.

Duan Lingshu gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Minister, obey!"
