The reinforcements led by He Lianxuan were overwhelming, overwhelming the rebels, and Naya and Marquis Jing'an also led 10,000 troops out of the city to attack. Within two hours, the Fifth Emperor's Uncle was hacked to death with random knives and trampled to pieces by war horses. , captured Xuzhou commander Zhao Zhuohui alive, and Southwest commander Qiu Guangsheng, annihilated more than 30,000 enemies, countless surrendered, and the battle was successful.
He Lianxuan had already seen the bright red among the rebels, and he was excited. After the battle, he immediately ran towards the figure.
Naya immediately stood up with the army, her clothes were fluttering, her hair was flying, her eyes were clear, she looked at the familiar figure with a slight smile, galloping towards her with unrivaled momentum, she gave a sweet scold, and then she galloped her horse to greet him. Go forward.
He Lianxuan, I finally see you...
No one would think that this bright red appearance was unexpected on this battlefield of warriors and horses, because everyone had seen how powerful and invincible this delicate figure was, and how courageous it was to make the enemy frightened.
Soldiers worship the strong, regardless of gender.
Such a heroic heroine deserves everyone's admiration.
The prince stood at the top of the city, looking at the two figures, one red and one white, approaching continuously below. He lowered his head and said slightly: He Lianxuan, what he said as a joke now seems to be coming true.
He Lianxuan has been reluctant to get married. The prince once joked... Do you want to wait until your beard turns gray before you agree to get married? He Lianxuan said disapprovingly... Why not wait until the crown prince ascends the throne before officiating the wedding of Wei Chen
Hiding in the secret room, Ye Jiayao felt that her heartstrings were about to break.
Song Qi went out to inquire about the news, why didn't he come back
It's almost dawn now!
Youshi also stayed up all night, chanting the Buddha's name and praying constantly.
This night was as long as a century, and every minute was torture.
Xiang Tao, who was listening to the noise at the entrance of the secret passage, ran to report with a pale face: "There seem to be a lot of people outside."
Ye Jiayao's heart trembled. There were many people, and they were definitely not Chunyu's people. They were rebels or deserters.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Everyone knew that this secret room was built very secretly, but after all, it had not been tested and it was unknown whether it would work.
Seeing everyone's panic, Ye Jiayao comforted them: "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Ye Jiayao still has this little confidence, but now she is worried about Song Qi, who is still outside! It would be better not to be bumped into by these people.
Everyone cuddled together and waited for the people outside to leave.
After a long time, there was movement from the secret passage.
Everyone was so nervous that their breathing almost stopped, and their hearts were beating like drums.
Dong-dong-dong, one long and two short knocking sounds.
Xiang Tao said happily: "It's one of our own."
Ye Jiayao said hurriedly: "Open the secret door quickly."
The secret door opened with a bang, and Song Qi got in, cursing: "These bandits and robbers are simply a group of locusts..."
"Song Qi, what's going on outside?" Ye Jiayao asked.
Song Qi said with a depressed face: "The younger one came back a long time ago. He noticed something was wrong, so he hid it nearby. Second Young Mistress, the chickens and ducks in our yard, the fruits in the orchard, and the valuable things in the house were all stolen. It’s been looted.”
"What about them?" Youshi also came up and asked.
"Let's go away satisfied. Damn it, I don't know how much we have lost." Song Qi was still distressed about the lost property.
"If the things are gone, they are gone. I hope everyone is fine. By the way, you go to find out the news. How is it?" Ye Jiayao said, property and other things are all external things. If they are gone, they are gone. There is nothing to regret. Besides, , the truly valuable things have long been moved to the vault by her.
Speaking of this, Song Qi expressed joy: "Madam, Second Young Mistress, Prince Helian arrived in time with reinforcements. When Xiao Xiao went out, the rebels had been defeated. However, it is still very dangerous outside. Deserters like the one who came just now There are still a lot of looters everywhere, so we should wait here for the prince to come and pick us up."
When they heard that He Lianxuan was back and the rebels were defeated, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. You quickly put his hands together to thank the gods and Buddhas in the sky.
Ye Jiayao's heartstrings that had been tense for several days relaxed, and she felt dizzy and on the verge of falling. If Qiao Xi hadn't been quick to catch her, she would have collapsed to the ground.
Youshi was shocked: "Jinxuan, Jinxuan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Ye Jiayao took a breath, collected herself, and shook her head with a wry smile. She was too nervous, and when she suddenly relaxed, her energy was gone.
"I'm fine, I'm so happy."
There was moisture in Youshi's eyes, and she said happily: "Yes, this disaster is finally over."
Song Qi reported the good news, ate a steamed bun, and then went out to wait and see. The others still stayed in the secret room.
After a few more hours, Chunfeng brought a team of people over to respond.
When Ye Jiayao saw that it was Chunfeng who came, her heart sank, why didn't Chunyu come? Chunyu said that he would come to pick her up in person after the crisis was over. Could it be that something unexpected happened to Chunyu
"Chunfeng, where are your father and your eldest and second brothers?" You asked anxiously.
Chunfeng didn't dare to say that both his father and second brother were injured. Now they didn't even have time to deal with their wounds. One was busy cleaning up the mess, and the other was busy apprehending King Yu. There was no danger in cleaning up the mess, but it was definitely very dangerous to arrest King Yu. , King Yu has expert guards around him. They are all dead soldiers who are willing to put their lives at risk and are very difficult to deal with. He wanted to help his second brother, but he wouldn't let him.
"Father and second brother are still busy and can't get away. I'm afraid that mother and second sister-in-law will be worried, so let me come to take care of you first." Chunfeng said perfunctorily.
"Is your second brother injured?" Ye Jiayao asked worriedly.
Chunfeng said scornfully: "Injuries are inevitable. Even Naya was injured, but the injury doesn't matter."
Anyway, the second brother's injury could not be hidden, so he could only downplay it.
Ye Jiayao's expression was solemn, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions. It was obvious how dangerous the situation last night was. Chunfeng must be reporting good news rather than bad news. If she continued to ask questions, I'm afraid she wouldn't be frightened. Youshi I can't hold it anymore.
Just be hurt, it's inevitable. As long as your life is not in danger, just cultivate slowly.
Before Ye Jiayao got on the carriage, Chunfeng whispered something to her, which shocked Ye Jiayao.
Ah Ruan is still alive and is now in the Hou Mansion. It's great. I finally heard some good and gratifying news.
The moonlight is bright tonight, the breeze is gentle, the mountains and forests are quiet, and the streams are clear. Such a night is supposed to make people feel relaxed, but at this time, the dense forest is filled with murderous intent.
Xia Chunyu pursued him along the secret passage, but he didn't expect that King Yu, who belonged to the pangolin family, actually opened a secret passage from the palace to the outside of the city. This took a lot of effort.
After leaving the secret passage, Xia Chunyu relied on his tracking skills to pursue him into the mountain forest, and finally found the trace of King Yu.
"Your Highness, you retreat first, and your subordinates will block the intruders." Several dead soldiers said resolutely as if they were dead.
King Yu nodded, not moved by his subordinates' determination to die. These people were all the soldiers he raised to die, and this was their mission.
King Yu continued to retreat. As long as he persisted for five miles, he would be able to join Zuo Qingyun and others, and then the hope of escape would be greater.
The dead soldier held a long knife in his hand and rushed desperately to pursue Xia Chunyu and others.
Xia Chunyu's eyes suddenly froze, and he burst out with fierce murderous intent. He also clenched the long knife in his hand and rushed over.
The opponent has a total of seven people. Those who can protect King Yu at this time are definitely not ordinary people. Although there are more than 20 people on his side, I am afraid that he will not have much advantage. This is a hard battle. No matter what, he must fight. King Yu takes it.
Ye Jiayao returned to the Hou Mansion. The Hou Mansion was in peace. It seemed that the almost annihilating disaster had no impact on the Hou Mansion.
Ye Jiayao went to see Ah Ruan impatiently.
"Aruan."
"Sister Yaoyao."
Two good sisters hugged each other tightly.
"It's good that you're fine, but you're worrying me to death." Ye Jiayao smiled but wanted to cry.
Ah Ruan also burst into tears: "Thanks to Brother Xiaojing and Chunyu for coming in time."
If it weren't for Brother Chunyu's voice that made the killer realize that he had lost his best opportunity, so he didn't kill him, otherwise, it would be hard to say.
"Xiao Jing went too?" Ye Jiayao was not surprised by this, but she was pretending to be surprised.
Ah Ruan nodded shyly, recalling Xiao Jing's hug with sweetness in his heart.
"This guy, didn't the Crown Prince order him to swear to guard the city gate? He actually dared to leave his post without permission. If Your Highness the Crown Prince blames him, I'll see what he will do." Ye Jiayao said this deliberately.
Ah Ruan panicked: "Is it possible? What should I do?"
No matter how ignorant she was, she knew that military orders were like mountains and military laws were ruthless. It would be bad if Xiaojing violated military laws in order to save her.
Seeing her nervous look, Ye Jiayao couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, okay, I'm just teasing you. This time, Jinling City can be saved, and Xiao Jing has contributed a lot. The prince will not care about the little time he left first." .”
Ah Ruan then realized that Sister Yaoyao was teasing her, and couldn't help but scolded: "Sister Yaoyao, you are too bad to be so scary."
"Everyone's nerves have been tense for such a long time. Why don't you just make a joke and relax!" Ye Jiayao said disapprovingly.
Suddenly I remembered something.
"When you come to the Marquis Mansion, no one will see you, right?"
Ah Ruan shook his head, Ah Man and I came in dressed as maids. Ah Ruan replied.
Ye Jiayao nodded: "That's good. Not many people know your identity here, and the people in my yard are all reliable. But Aman, you have to let her change her name. Before the big plan is completed, Your identity cannot be exposed."
Ah Ruan knew that this matter was serious, so he nodded and said: "Chunfeng has already informed us, and Ah Man and I will pay attention to it."
Ah Ruan thought that Sister Yaoyao was just trying to save her life, but she didn't know that Sister Yaoyao had a more profound plan and had already planned her escape.
The two talked for a long time before they took a break. Ye Jiayao couldn't sleep with her eyes open, and her eyelids kept twitching. Why hasn't Chunyu come back yet? Did King Yu catch it? How is the emperor's condition? Countless questions are swirling in my mind, lingering.
