After several large ships left the port, it took only an hour or two to return to Changqing City.
As soon as the boat docked, a group of people hurriedly left the port, directly entered the city gate, galloped along the long street that was almost empty, and soon arrived at Prince Ning's Mansion.
At this moment, Zhu Xuan was standing in the middle of the lobby.
Someone outside came to report: "Your Highness, Zhai Haiping has arrived."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xuan immediately turned around, and Zhai Yun who was following him hurriedly opened his eyes and looked out, only to see a tall middle-aged man walking in from the outside. His complexion is dark and his skin is rough, which is obviously the vicissitudes left by fighting against wind, frost, rain and snow all year round.
As soon as he walked in, he immediately bowed to Zhu Xuan: "Greetings to His Royal Highness King Ning."
"Master Zhai doesn't need to be too polite."
Zhai Yun also bowed to him, "Father."
Zhai Haiping only waved his hand at him, it was too late to be polite at this time, Zhu Xuan couldn't wait to ask: "How is the situation?"
Zhai Haiping said: "Please forgive me, my lord."
"...!"
Zhu Xuan's face suddenly sank.
"Failed… ?"
"Yes."
"how come?"
"According to the guidance of the prince, I sent several large ships to track the ship, but, on the river where it meets the canal ahead, I encountered the imperial driver's obstruction."
"Your driver?"
"good."
Zhu Xuan took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and popped out three words from between his teeth——
"Xu Miaoyin!"
He should have thought that the only people who appeared in Changqing City this time were the emperor and those who accompanied him, and the empress, who was the lord of the harem, originally traveled with him, but never showed up.
I, I should have taken precautions earlier, Yujia wandered outside, so it was not because I was afraid of entering Changqing City, but to preserve my strength and wait for this day to come!
Xu Miaoyin is indeed the daughter of Xu Yuan from Youzhu Kingdom.
Although she is a woman, she is as resourceful and calm as a man. This time, I underestimated this always quiet queen's wife.
At this time, Shi Yiru, who had been sitting on the sidelines without saying a word, suddenly said with a heavy face, "My lord, we can no longer stick to Changqing City."
Zhu Xuan turned to look at him.
Shi Yiru stood up and said: "Now, the emperor and his troops have already left the city. They will definitely return to Beiping soon, and use the emperor's order to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the imperial court to attack us. You know, Although we have many soldiers and horses, they are still incomparable to the imperial court's army of one million!"
"..."
"No matter how easy it is to defend Changqing City, it will be captured sooner or later."
"..."
"At that point, we really have nowhere to go."
"..."
"If the troops were dispatched according to the original plan, I'm afraid the city of Beiping has been captured by now, and the dynasty has changed. Even—even if they can't, at least the emperor can't go back to the palace to issue an imperial edict. But now—"
Hearing what he said, Zhu Xuan's eyes flashed, and he suddenly understood.
"I see."
He gritted his teeth and said, "He deliberately spread the news to let me know, so that I can think that it is beneficial for me to stick to the city, so that I won't use troops against Beiping!"
"..."
"My lord, I fell into his trick!"
When the people around heard this, their hearts sank.
Now looking back at their previous actions, they have indeed deviated from the track they originally set. Just because Zhu Feng appeared in Changqing City, he had affected their actions and judgments in the entire Ning Palace by himself.
It seems that even with amnesia, he has not lost his wisdom and power.
Now, instead, they are in a dilemma.
Zhai Yun hurriedly asked: "Then, my lord, what should we do next?"
Zhu Xuan immediately said: "Now, we must not stick to Changqing City anymore, otherwise, as Yi Confucian said, when the imperial army comes, we will have to be beaten passively. Now, we must take the initiative!"
"Take the initiative? Then, where are we going to fight?"
Having said that, everyone looked at each other.
Shi Yiru thought for a while and said, "I have two strategies."
Zhu Xuan said: "You say."
"Since we want to leave Changqing City, we have to fight from north to south. The best strategy is to go south to take Jinling, make that place our capital, establish ourselves as king, and rule along the river with Zhu Feng."
"Jinling?"
Zhu Xuan frowned.
Although this was considered a good strategy, Jinling was already the capital abandoned by Zhu Feng, and it would not feel very good for him to seize it again.
After all, what he has to do is to replace Zhu Feng.
So he asked, "Then, what's the other way?"
Shi Yiru glanced at him, and said: "The other strategy is to follow the original plan and still send troops to the north and point the sword at Peiping. However, because of the appearance of Shengjia, we may not be able to directly attack Peiping, and we must lay down the land halfway." A city is used for the way of war."
Zhu Xuan's eyes flashed: "You are talking about—"
"Crane City!"

Nan Yan was silent for a long time after hearing what Ye Zheng said about what happened in the past few days.
Ran Xiaoyu was listening, still frowning.
She thought for a while and said: "That's the case, why is he recognized by everyone and accepted by everyone, but why can't he always remember the imperial concubine?"
Ye Zheng looked up at her, then said: "This is indeed a strange thing."
"..."
"Your Majesty, after the Emperor woke up, he gradually accepted all of us, from the empress empress, to the concubines in the harem, to me, to that old-fashioned old man, and even to Mrs. Qin, he can accept it, and he can gradually find it. The old feeling."
"..."
"But it's the word 'noble concubine', no one can mention it in front of him."
"..."
"He gets a splitting headache when he mentions it."
"..."
"Ox-nosed Taoist said that it may be that the medicine is still working, but this is the first time. I am afraid that the stimulation will be too great, and let him experience too much forgetfulness again, so gradually, everyone will not dare to mention you again. .”
"..."
Nan Yan listened, but did not speak.
In fact, she had discovered this problem a long time ago. When they were in the fishing village, when the people sent by Prince Ning's Mansion mentioned "Imperial Concubine" in front of Zhu Feng, he had a severe headache and almost died.
so-
Too much, forget your feelings
Is this the reason
She said lightly, "I see."
Hearing her hoarse voice, Ran Xiaoyu hastily brought the water glass to her again.
Ye Zheng at the side said with a smile: "However, no matter what, we are finally out of danger this time. The gust of wind just stopped was too timely. It is like a miracle!"
"...!"
Nan Yan was drinking water, her heart sank.
