Xingyue Hall.
"Miss..." Suzuran entered the house in a panic.
"What's the matter?" Hua Laoyue frowned.
Suzuran glanced outside in a panic, and immediately closed the door: "Miss, Concubine Takeo entered the palace just now, and it seems to have gone to see the emperor."
"You said Shen Xingzhu." Hua Laoyue suddenly "cocked" in her heart.
Why did this Shen Xingzhu enter the palace at this time? This damn woman is afraid of something bad.
Suzuran nodded quickly, "But she seems to have been arrested by the emperor."
Suzuran paused, then calmed down: "The emperor didn't believe in Concubine Bamboo."
Hua Laoyue didn't think so, even if Jun Qingyu didn't believe it for the time being, I'm afraid he would doubt it. He was as suspicious as the Queen Mother.
But it was just suspicion. She had completely planted memories in his mind. Even if he doubted, he couldn't prove anything, because he couldn't doubt his own memory for anything.
Although she comforted Hua Laoyue so much, Lily of the valley was still nervous: "Miss, why don't you let Master Liqing come to pick you up? Don't wait any longer."
I don't know why, she always feels uneasy.
Hua Laoyue shook her head firmly with her gaze: "Not only can I not leave the bow without turning back the arrow, I have to go to the emperor tonight."
With so many people walking together, the goal is too big, and as soon as she leaves, someone will immediately find her missing, and then I am afraid that no one will be able to leave.
So she must stay in the palace to delay time for Li Qing, and only after they can leave the palace safely, she can find a chance to leave.
It should be just one night, one night is enough, and when the day breaks, Li Qing will be able to pick her up.
"But..." Suzuran was still worried.
Now that Concubine Bamboo doesn’t know what she said to the emperor, if the emperor doubts the young lady, isn’t that young lady...
Lily of the valley couldn't think further.
"It's okay, he can't hurt me." Hua Lao Yue gritted her teeth to encourage herself.
Even if he really found out that she was a spy, she could give him medicine directly to make him fall asleep, or kill him directly, as long as he stayed till dawn and prevented him from discovering that Princess Yan was escaping from prison, and Li Qing could come and pick her up. They are all safe.
…
At the same time, Jiangcheng.
"General, the Yan army's offensive is too fierce, and we will soon be unable to resist it." The general ran in embarrassedly to report.
"General, Jiang Cheng is about to fall, and I ask the general to evacuate with us as soon as possible." Another general also ran in.
fall! Evacuate!
This is what Su Wei has heard most these days, since
He hasn't fought a victory since he sent his troops, and he has been losing ground. At this rate, I am afraid that King Yan will be able to reach Kyoto in a few days.
"Has the secret report been delivered? What did the Kyoto side say?" Su Wei frowned and looked at his lieutenant.
The lieutenant hurriedly bowed: "I was rushed to send it a few days ago, but there has been no news over there, I'm afraid..."
The lieutenant sighed as he spoke, his eyes full of disappointment.
Why didn't the emperor send troops to reinforce them? If there were no reinforcements, they would be unable to defend them immediately. Maybe they would all die here soon.
Su Wei also frowned, and he did not expect Jun Qingyu would not send him reinforcements.
This is to use him as a bait to lure the enemy into deep, but also to weaken his strength? Or just want him to die? I have to say that the emperor played well with this abacus, but he didn't expect that Jun Moran was not an ordinary enemy. It really made him go deep, and he could handle it.
"General, what should we do now? If there is no reinforcements, we can't hold on for long?" the lieutenant said anxiously.
He doesn't want to do meritorious service now, he just wants to save his life, but if this continues, the lives of people like them may not be able to be saved.
Su Wei narrowed his eyes, and suddenly slapped the table: "If you can't hold on, then don't hold on!"
Everyone looked at Su Wei in unison: "What does the general mean?"
"There is no need to evacuate, I will go to see King Yan." Su Wei said to them and got up and went out.
"General." The lieutenant hurriedly followed.
The two generals looked at each other.
"The general is going to surrender to King Yan, is this treason?"
"Rebellion is rebellion. Whoever asks the emperor not to send us reinforcements, he is forcing us to rebel."
"Hey, too. In this situation, perhaps treason is our only way to survive."
"I wonder if King Yan can accept our surrender?"
"It should be possible, but we still have a lot of troops."
In the camp a dozen miles away from Jiangcheng, several generals were discussing strategic deployment.
"We should be able to capture Jiangcheng today."
"After Jiangcheng, there are only Yining, Yang'an, and Liuguan. After these three cities, we can go straight to Kyoto."
"It is estimated that at most ten days, we will be able to get to Kyoto."
Jun Moran was thinking about the strategy of speeding up the process, so a soldier came in and reported: "The prince, Su Wei, Lord Zhenguo, begs to see you."
Su Wei
Jun Moran raised his eyebrows in surprise, why did he come
Those ones
When the generals heard the word Su Wei, they also became lively.
"Isn't Su Wei the main general this time?"
"This Lord will ask to see, what does this mean?"
Jun Moran's eyes flashed and looked at the soldier: "Take him to the main camp."
"Yes." The soldier responded and went to do it immediately.
"You continue." Jun Moran gave orders to the generals before leaving the chamber.
As soon as Jun Moran left, everyone started talking lively.
"It seems that Su Wei is going to surrender?"
"Counting his knowledge, he really wants to continue to fight, I'm afraid he will have no soldiers left."
"I heard that he reported to him for help, but the emperor probably didn't send him reinforcements, so he could only come to surrender."
"The emperor is really unkind."
"Yeah, life and death are a matter of life and death on the battlefield. The emperor is so ignorant of the safety of the people below. It is really mediocre and innocent. It is our prince who is kind and benevolent."
Jun Moran got into his main account, and Su Wei also came in.
Jun Moran sat, looking at Su Wei blankly, waiting for him to speak.
Su Wei's old face was a little uncomfortable, but he stepped forward and saluted: "See King Yan."
"Jiangcheng is about to fall, you should retreat to Yining at this moment." Jun Moran raised his eyebrows and said.
Su Wei's old face blushed again, struggling, and suddenly knelt down: "The minister is willing to surrender to the prince and serve the prince."
Jun Mo Ran suddenly sneered and patted his legs: "This king's legs will never be forgotten by this king, how did you betray this king back then."
If it weren't for him back then, how could he have been harmed like that, disfigured, and abolished his legs, and Yuan Yun would not have died because of him.
Su Wei blushed embarrassingly again. He lowered his head and said with shame: "It was the minister's betrayal of justice, betraying the trust of the first emperor, and betraying the prince."
He did what he did back then, that was his choice, and he would not regret his choice, but now he has to make another choice.
"One time of infidelity, a hundred times of useless." Jun Moran looked at him coldly, not intending to accept his surrender at all.
"If the prince cares about the past, when the prince is enthroned, the minister can apologize for himself, and only ask the prince to give the other people in the army a way out." Su Wei looked down and arched his hands.
He was not sorry for his death, but he couldn't let so many people die with him.
Jun Moran snorted coldly: "Your life is not surprising, this king can kill you now."
Su Wei raised his eyes, "Yes, the minister's life is worthless, but the minister has one thing that can make you ascend to the throne in a righteous manner."
