"How could His Majesty disappear!"
Upon hearing the news, the Empress Dowager came surrounded by her maids. Come if you like to play and watch
"Maybe it's time to deal with government affairs."
Speaking of which, I am somewhat relieved.
"Your Majesty is still so diligent when he is ill, which is a blessing in misfortune."
The ministers agreed to say something, and a servant stumbled in from the outside.
"The Palace of Qinzheng has been cleaned up..."
They hissed and fell to their knees.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has run away..."
There was a dead silence in the emperor's bedroom, and everyone was stunned.
"How could Your Majesty run away!" The Queen Mother was the first to recover and shouted, "Go and find..."
Before she finished speaking, the servants raised their heads again.
"My lady, the jade seal is gone, the Jinyi guards are gone, Eunuch Yuan Bao is gone, and the people in the third emperor's womb say that the third prince is also gone..." they cried.
What this meant, the people in the hall understood, and their hearts were cold.
The Queen Mother even slumped down on the chair.
"Run away?" she said, "Run away with the third prince and leave Aijia behind... How is this possible..."
That was her son, her own.
She gave birth to him, raised him, and supported him on the throne.
He actually left her and ran away when the army of golden men arrived
No, he didn't just abandon her, he did it on purpose, and he deliberately asked someone to lie to her, saying that he would come to say hello to her tomorrow.
Doesn't he know what will happen to these people in the palace if the golden men come over
He didn't abandon her, he clearly wanted to give her to the golden man.
This is her son, she is his mother!
The Empress Dowager sat down on the chair with a dull and unbelievable expression, only feeling confused.
She didn't finish her murmurs, but an elderly servant had already let out a scream.
"Your Majesty has run away! The Jinmen are coming in again!"
This another word awakened the long-standing nightmare of the palace people.
The memory of having experienced the imperial city being ravaged by the iron hooves of the golden men flooded the entire imperial palace instantly like a flood.
With screams and cries, the entire imperial city fell into chaos, and the chaos and fear spread outward along with the fleeing people.
…
The blue light in the sky lit up, and the night faded away. The light can always dispel fear and give people strength, but at this time, the complexions of the generals standing on the city wall did not improve at all, but turned pale.
There was another noise in the city, and countless people rushed towards the city gates on all sides. Compared with last night, they couldn't see clearly, but at this moment, looking down from the heights, the crowd is shocking.
What is even more shocking is the words they shouted.
"The emperor has escaped?" A general murmured, turning to look at Ning Yan beside him, "Master Ning, is this true?"
Ning Yan is no longer an official, and has been away from the court for a long time, but everyone is still used to addressing him as an adult, and taking his words as official words.
Ning Yan's lips twitched. He had followed the principles of sacred learning all his life and acted frankly. There was nothing he couldn't say, but at this moment he really couldn't open his mouth.
The guardian king they believed in secretly ran away by himself when the enemy army was besieging the city.
People's hearts are scattered and chaotic, the emperor has run away, and there is no one in the government and court to be trusted. Let alone him who is not an official, it is useless for more officials to stand up to comfort the people.
What a waste, Ning Yan couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.
Even if you want to escape, you must arrange it well, at least not let people find out, or discuss it with the officials, the situation is really critical, needless to say, the ministers must also think about the country, advise you to go south, advise you Dodging, what are you talking about sneaking away!
It's a piece of mud that can't support the wall.
Now that you play this trick smartly, the crisis that you could have worked together to get through has been completely ruined by you.
The turbulent crowd approached the city gate. This time, not only ordinary people were among them, but many officials also brought their families with them. Compared with the common people, they were more ferocious.
Presumably at this time, the government of the imperial court is also in chaos and no one is in charge of the stall.
What's worse is that most of the imperial guards and defenders in the capital are from the capital, sons of the rich and powerful, or native villagers. If they see their family members fleeing, can they stop them
Ning Yan looked under the city gate, and there were already many people running towards him.
A group of soldiers and city gate officials shouted and stopped them, but their confidence was much weaker than last night, and one of them was grabbed by the approaching people.
"San'er, what are you stopping? You don't care about your parents? Your uncle took the opportunity to take away all your dry food." The crowd shouted, "When they snatch the car away, you will carry it alone." Did your parents run away?"
The soldier turned pale when he heard the words, dropped the spear in his hand and ran towards the city.
The barriers in front of the city gate became looser. After all, everyone has family members who miss them.
"Open the city gate quickly, or it will be too late if you don't run."
"The emperor has already run away, why are you so foolish to stop?"
There are more and more people, and the shouting and cursing are getting louder. The soldiers guarding the city gate retreat step by step. To rush to the city gate.
"No, you can't open the city gate." Ning Yan shouted loudly, waving his hands at the people below the city, "The Jin people are approaching, and the city gate is wide open. If it cannot be closed in time, or the Jin people's spies sneak in, then the capital will be over."
But this time no one listened to him.
"Lord Ning, the capital is over!"
"The emperor is gone!"
"You liars! You are trying to trick us into staying in the capital to lure gold people into the city!"
"Everyone run!"
There was a lot of cursing and shouting under the city gate.
"Open the city gate! Open the city gate!"
The clamor grew louder and seemed unstoppable.
The soldiers in front of the city gate retreated step by step and were about to collapse.
There was the sound of hurried hoofbeats, accompanied by the loud sound of whips.
"Don't open the city gate!"
At the same time, a female voice shouted.
Ning Yan heard the shout right away, and a fiery red figure appeared in his sight. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he loosened his tightly clenched hands inexplicably.
Yes, there is still her in the city.
The shouting made the people very angry.
"Who are you! You can control it!" Countless scolding voices also sounded, surging towards the face.
But the visitors were not intimidated by it.
"I'm Jun Jiuling." Miss Jun reined in the crowd, looking at everyone, "Do you believe me?"
Jun Jiuling.
Miss Jun.
The people who were about to continue yelling subconsciously swallowed it back, and more people also looked over.
Miss Jun did not dismount.
"I'm Jun Jiuling." She said again, "You listen to me, don't leave the city, don't open the city gate, stay here."
"Miss Jun." Some people said with grief and indignation, "What can we do if we stay here? The emperor is gone, and the golden men are coming in, and we are all going to die."
"You won't die." Miss Jun said before he finished speaking, "You won't die if you stay here. The emperor is gone, and the golden man can't fight in. We won't die."
There were a lot of people in front of the city gate, and the voices were noisy, but Miss Jun did not speak hoarsely. Her voice was as soft and slow as ever, calm and calm, but it was inexplicably calm when it reached the ears of the surrounding people.
You won't die, and the golden man won't come in, she said so firmly, so sure.
The people looked at her in a daze.
Where did she have the confidence to give everyone such a guarantee
"I'm Jun Jiuling, you believe me." Miss Jun looked at the crowd and said, "I never lie when I say anything."
She is Jun Jiuling, and she never lies in what she says.
She is Jun Jiuling, and she never lies in what she says.
She said that it can rejuvenate and cure incurable diseases, and Jiulingtang became famous in the capital.
She said that acne can be cured, and the evil disease of acne has been found out to curb it.
As for the fact that the Jinren could not fight, she fought against the Jinren herself. It was she who took back the people of the three counties in the Northland from the Jinren who had already negotiated peace, and it was she who led the troops to the land of the Jinren to rescue the besieged Cheng Guogong. rescued.
These achievements are not fake, not only announced by the court, but also passed on by word of mouth from what the people have seen with their own eyes.
It's Miss Jun.
It's Jun Jiuling from Jiulingtang.
Miss Jun turned over and jumped off the horse.
"You believe me."
She looked at the crowd around her and moved forward step by step.
The people slowly backed away.
"I will defend the city."
Miss Jun walked through the crowd and walked towards the city gate.
"I won't let the golden man come in."
She walked towards the city gate and stood in front of the overturned wooden frame.
"I won't let you die, none of us will die."
She stood in front of the city guards who were holding spears and looking anxious, and turned around to look at the crowd.
"Please believe me."
At the same time, at the gates of the other three cities, different people passed through the crowd and loudly stopped them.
…
In front of the South City Gate, Fang Jinxiu, who rushed in surrounded by a crowd of staff, put the plaque of Jiu Ling Tang heavily on the ground in front of him.
"She said, she will definitely be able to defend the city." She shouted loudly, pointing to the plaque, "You don't have to believe me, you believe her! Everything will be taken care of by her!"
…
...In front of the West City Gate, Chen Qi lacked confidence. Fang Jinxiu had taken away the plaque, and he had nothing to take, so he had to bite the bullet and show his face.
"I, I am Chen Qi from Jiulingtang." He said, "Listen to me..."
Having said that, looking at the strange eyes of the people in front of him, he swallowed again, and stretched out his hand to hold up a handful of porcelain bottles.
"Look, these are pills made by Ms. Jiulingtang Jun herself. She said that these medicines will cure the disease. If any of you have taken them, do you really mean what you say?" He said loudly.
The people in front of them shook their heads.
"I haven't eaten." Someone even replied loudly, "I can't afford it."
Chen Qi choked, yes, Jiulingtang's medicine is worth a thousand gold, and not everyone can afford it.
"Then, then you..." He stammered a little.
"Is Miss Jun there?" The people in front of him interrupted him.
Chen Qi nodded.
"Now, she has already gone to the east gate." He said loudly.
There was a slight commotion among the people, which made Chen Qi a little nervous. If these people rushed over, his body would not be able to stop him, and he would be crushed immediately.
"Miss Jun said that she can defend the city?"
But the crowd didn't rush forward, instead they stood quietly, and there were voices of inquiry from the crowd.
Chen Qi clenched the porcelain bottle in his hand.
"Yes!" He nodded heavily.
"Miss Jun can't do it by herself." An old woman said, wiping her tears.
Chen Qi took a step forward and looked at the old woman.
"No, Miss Jun is not alone!" He shouted with bright eyes.
Isn't Miss Jun alone? Who else
…
In front of the North City Gate, shopkeeper Liu reached out and planted a large flag heavily on the overturned wooden frame.
"There is also the Qingshan Army." He pointed at the fluttering banner and said.
