"Kill!" Zhentian screamed from the foot of the mountain, and the quiet camp exploded in an instant.
"My lord, the enemy has broken through two lines of defense and is heading towards the Moganling station."
"Report! The gate of Gita City is lost, and there are only 3,000 soldiers left, who are fighting to the death with the enemy under the leadership of General Dou."
"Sir, Taniguchi has been lost in the rush."
Outside the coach's tent, Wan Jingwen's face was pale, and the hand holding Zhu Jin next to her couldn't stop shaking. How could it be, how could it be possible to lose Geeta so quickly and be attacked at the gate of the station! The urgent report that just came this morning was turned upside down in just a few hours!
"Where's Your Highness? Where is Your Highness!" Life and death were at stake, and after catching a man dressed like a general, Wan Jingwen grabbed the corner of his cloak, and stared at him eagerly.
Knowing her identity, the man stopped and bowed his hands. "His Royal Highness brought someone to help Gita, but he hasn't returned yet. He also asked the concubine to let go. The last general's life is at his disposal, so there is no delay."
Standing unsteady on his feet, he took two steps back with a pale face. Zong Zhenglin was not at the camp!
On the 14th of June of the 15th year of Zhanghe, a 40,000-strong army in Mobei counterattacked Gita. The five thousand defenders of the Great Wei in the city fought to the last person, including the general Geng Qiuhe, the whole army died in battle, and none of them surrendered. Gita City lost.
In the evening of the same day, 30,000 elite cavalry in Mobei attacked the 80,000 garrisoned troops in Moganling. This battle caught Da Wei by surprise. In addition, most of the war horses were damaged due to the epidemic. Although the camp was not attacked by the Mobei people, it was in a mess, almost burning the camp.
Afterwards, the urgent report sent to the Emperor Shengjing Yuancheng's imperial case even more clearly stated that the Sixth Highness rushed to Gita City on the 14th, and there was no further news and his whereabouts were unknown. Mobei people released news that Zong Zhenglin, the commander of the Great Wei West Road Army and the sixth son of the emperor, encountered the army led by Chunyu Jiahe, the general of the expedition to the west, at the edge of the Tash Desert.
Above the court, Emperor Yuan Cheng slapped the table and was furious. He immediately ordered veteran Fu Dongguo to take over as the head coach of the West Route Army, and temporarily accepted Zong Zhenglin's lieutenant to take over the army temporarily. Afterwards, he sent out three hand orders in a row, ordering people to search for Zong Zhenglin's whereabouts with all his strength, and there must be no mistake.
In the harem, Concubine Shu first heard that Zong Zhenglin was defeated, and she still doesn't know her life or death. The fourth prince Zong Zhengyun's eyes were scarlet, and he forced his way into the imperial study, begging him to lead troops to search for Zong Zhenglin's whereabouts. A cup of hot tea was thrown on his shoulder by Emperor Yuan Cheng, and he was ordered to be sent back to the Prince's Mansion for strict supervision.
The battle situation in Mobei changed rapidly, and the situation in Shengjing was treacherous.
Helian Minmin squeezed the handkerchief and tried to hold back her grief with tears in her eyes. Su Linrou was crying heart-to-heart, while Qi's Kong was holding her head and crying. Even the invisible man, An's, had red eyes and dull eyes. . The remaining two were sent by the queen mother, and they were completely unfamiliar with the prince's palace. Now they can only hide in the corner and bow their heads.
The two highest-ranking masters in the house were arguing, and no one slammed into them without opening their eyes.
"You are a cold-hearted person! Now that the life and death of His Highness is uncertain, your majestic prince concubine is unwilling to return to Helian's house to rescue soldiers, so why do you prevent your concubine from returning to Su's residence to ask for help!"
Pointing at Helian Minmin and scolding happily, Su Linrou is now unable to care about honor and respect. If His Highness is gone, the women in this room will never have a good life in the future. No one has a better future than anyone else.
"You, Helian Minmin, are heartless. If His Highness survives this hardship, the concubine will definitely shake you out of the crime of suppressing the backyard!"
Pushing away the old woman who was blocking her like a madman, Su Linrou threw a harsh word and led Mama Dai Caitao to the second door.
"Master?" Seeing that Concubine Side really couldn't listen to her advice, Mammy Feng could only wait and see how Helian Minmin would deal with it.
Raising her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, Helian Minmin pressed her throat, looking extremely tired. "Forget it, teach her to go." She didn't feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, she got the news from Helian's family earlier than anyone in the house. Last night, the whole person was in a trance, lying on the bed collapsed with tears all night. Now she still has to show a calm appearance, according to what her father said in the letter, try her best to appease the back house, and must not cause chaos in the backyard of His Royal Highness.
"You also go back separately. You will be staying in each person's courtyard during this period of time. If anyone dares to take advantage of this moment to be presumptuous and unruly..." A loud slap slammed on the Huanghuali table, posing as a master of the house, He Lian Minmin admonished mercilessly, "Don't blame the concubine for being ruthless to sell the house!"
These are just concubines with low status, and when they are dealt with, Helian Minmin has no scruples at all compared to the concubines and concubines of concubines and concubines.
"Father! How can you keep your composure and study calligraphy calmly!" Su Linrou rushed into the study, and saw Su Bowen's calm and measured figure with his hands behind his back.
Seeing her carrying her skirt and stepping into the door without passing the message, Su Bowen frowned, and then buried his head again. "At this time, the place where you should stay the most is the Prince's Mansion. Don't go out yet."
"Father, you know what's going on in the Prince's Mansion, how can your daughter stay here!" He rushed up to grab his arm, pleading in his eyes. "Dad, you are a big red man in front of the emperor. You send someone to inquire about it, or... or simply send someone from the palace to search for the place in Mobei. If you can find your highness, it will be a great achievement." He spoke very eagerly, and called Su Bowen out of patience.
Pushing away her palm, she was not in a hurry to write, and she raised the thrush hanging in the room. Su Bowen walked outside while explaining lightly to her. "The emperor has his own decision on this matter. It's not your turn to mess around in your house. You can see that Helian's, ran to her mother's house so unruly?" Add some bait to the food box.
"Hey, when will the eldest sister come back to the house?" Followed by the nanny, a boy around the age of four or five came to the front, and seemed to greet the two of them. Su Bowen lovingly touched the top of his hair, while Su Linrou had a stern face, ignoring a word.
"How did Zhuoyu perform in the study today? Did you understand what Mr. taught?"
"Yu'er silently silenced the three chapters of "Shu Jingci", and was praised by her husband."
Seeing that his father and son were so friendly, Su Linrou felt a pain in her chest. Aunt Qin, if she hadn't been lucky enough to have a son, she wouldn't have been helped by her father as his wife.
At this moment, she was in a hurry, and she had no interest in seeing his two fathers and sons filial piety. "Father! Your Highness's side..."
"No need to say more. I have my own opinion for my father." He never turned around to look at her at all. He only took the younger son's hand and pulled him in to ask about his homework. This attitude could not be more clear.
The life and death of His Highness is unknown, and Su Linrou is still depressed when her father treats her so indifferently. Annoyed too much, he suddenly took down the thrush cage, lifted it high and smashed it on the ground.
"You only have that woman and her son in your heart. Do you still remember the wife who worked too hard for you, died early from illness, and my daughter who lost her mother since she was a child!" Angrily kicked the broken bird! On the cage, Su Linrou brushed away Mammy Dai, who persuaded her not to stay, wiping her eyes and running out the door.
"Master..." Mammy Dai was terrified, she wanted to catch up and watch, but she had to scruple the rules.
Seeing that the thrush that he had raised for many years only fluttered his wings a few times and then closed his eyes, Su Bowen was silent for a moment, then sighed and waved his hand. "Forget it, go look at her."
This daughter also blames him for being negligent since he was a child, and he never disciplined her well. She was worried about the Sixth Highness, how could he really be indifferent.
It's just that it's a big deal, and it's a boudoir girl like her who can understand it. The emperor's thoughts, even him, have to think for a few times before they can figure out a little bit.
Mobei... Su Bowen called someone to clean up the mess, and there was a faint speculation in his eyes.
Jingzhou Xicheng.
Wan Jingwen was dressed in a skirt and hairpins, her face was smeared with grass and ash, and she was wrapped in a headscarf. She managed to mix in with the evacuated crowd around Moganling, and was escorted back to the city by a military attache who was only a rank six thousand.
At this time, Concubine Wan was still dignified, graceful and graceful. Moganling was almost broken by the Mobei people, and she experienced the fright of four or five times of shouting at night, and when she went down the mountain, she saw the ground full of corpses and amputated limbs, which only scared Wan Jingwen into a corner and shivered. The enemy is hidden in the dark, and his identity is not dared to reveal at all. Even if he squeezed in a carriage with the wives of a few Orion families at the foot of the mountain to escape, he didn't complain a word.
It's so terrifying... The bloody air soaring to the sky was accompanied by the flaming arrows, but it was only a few centimeters short before whistling past her ears. The identity of the previous life was revered, and since entering the palace was enshrined in a high position, it was naturally pampered. At the most difficult time, it's just a fight to the death with the women in the harem. A fatal blow on the battlefield is brutal and brutal. Where is the rhetoric between women, intrigue and deceit can be compared. Not to mention Wan Jingwen, even a crudely raised maid like Zhu Jin is now too frightened to return to her senses.
After finally surviving and returning to the inn, the master and servant were told that the courtyard originally arranged was occupied by the distant cousin of the princess's mother's house. As for Mrs. Zhang, who should have been placed here to recuperate, her condition was stable earlier, and her Highness had agreed to follow the big boat back to Shengjing first, without her needing to stay here to attend to her illness.
"Go back?" Wan Jingwen's eyes darkened and she almost fell to the ground. She almost lost her life in front of her, and Mrs. Zhang is useless, but she is safe and sound, and she has returned to Shengjing!
"When will there be ships?" Who knows when the Mobei barbarians will call in this ghost place, and she doesn't dare to stay for a while.
The steward sighed, spread his palms and shook his head. "Your Majesty, the city is under martial law. The military situation is urgent. At this time, there is no adult's warrant, and it is impossible to get out. The above said that it is to prevent the Mobei people from sending secret agents into the city, and the inside and outside should be combined."
"Master!" Before Zhu Jin was able to get discouraged, Mr. Wan couldn't stand the repeated blows, and his eyelids rolled over and he fainted.
"Master Steward, look at this, do you want to arrange a place first?" The courtyard had disappeared before, so there must be another place to stay. Seeing him is very embarrassing, Zhu Jin knew that things were not good for no reason, and quickly used the money. At this time, he could no longer be deaf and blind.
Seeing that there was no one around, the steward kept his voice down, barely giving her a clue in terms of the bank note. "Just now, I didn't have time to say it. It's spread all over the place. The new coach is that Master Fu, who was the Kaimeng martial artist when the prince was young."
He pointed to the innermost courtyard again, the steward covered his mouth, and his voice was lower. "Now it's time to be proud of that cousin of the Crown Princess. His Highness took that lady and offended her. So now..." He helped her carry Mrs Wan to a room in the corner, raised his hand and pushed it away The door, "It's the only place left unoccupied."
A wise man will understand as soon as he hears it that there is no room to make room, but the one who is close to the Crown Princess, under his anger, clearly stumbles them!
Zhu Jin glanced at the furnishings in the room, and couldn't help feeling a little cold. In a place where even the servants of the Prince's Mansion can't compare, is the situation between the master and her already so difficult...
