Ch. 92 - Zhong Yansheng: Hurry up and open the city gate

I don’t know what Xiao Nong and Pei Yue discussed. When leaving the tribe, Zhong Yansheng felt that the atmosphere between the two seemed to have eased a lot.

Pei Yue didn't walk him too far, as the wind on the snowy plain was too strong. She reached out to help Zhong Yansheng straighten his crooked hat and smiled faintly, "The greatest comfort these years is that you are still alive. It's been almost twenty years, living in the wind outside the North Gate. I've almost forgotten what the capital looks like, but I've always remembered your parents..."

Her last few words were spoken in a low voice, scattered in the wind and lost in the sound of the Hujia coming from afar.

Zhong Yansheng looked at her, his heart ached, and he couldn't help but said, "Aunt, if not, if not, please come back with me!"

"The capital is a prison to me. This place suits me very well."

Pei Yue shook her head and gently rejected him. Her expression was as ethereal as a cloud as she looked at the boundless snowfield: "When the snow melts next year, the grassland will be endless, with cattle and sheep everywhere. I can ride a horse and gallop freely, with only the wind and pleasure around me... This is a life I have never imagined in the first half of my life."

Zhong Yansheng followed her gaze and listened to her description, and couldn't help but feel a little yearning.

Pei Yue smiled faintly and said, "It would be better if Tiao Tiao could stay and accompany Auntie."

Before Zhong Yansheng could say anything, Xiao Nong, who was listening with his arms folded, raised his hand, put his arm around Zhong Yansheng's waist and pulled him back, with a fake smile: "Aunt, you don't have to see me off. Xiao Wang will take good care of Tiao Tiao."

Seeing how he was protecting his food, Pei Yue shook her head again and said nothing more.

Zhong Yansheng was reluctant to leave and said goodbye to Pei Yue several times before he got on the horse.

A person soon approached from behind, and a familiar breath enveloped him. He tilted his head back, blinked, and asked, "Brother, what did you talk about with Auntie this afternoon?"

Xiao Nong raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course, we are talking about when the young prince will be given a title after he ascends the throne."

Zhong Yansheng muttered to himself.

He can't be serious for long before he starts talking nonsense again.

The two of them discussed with Pei Yue for the whole morning. Because of Zhong Yansheng's presence, the agenda went quite smoothly, with less back-and-forth and intrigue, and the specific details were finalized.

There are still some troublesome nobles in the tribe who need to be dealt with. It just so happens that Lou Qingtang is now obsessed with the barbarian witchcraft and is reluctant to leave. Xiao Nong left him and two other people to Pei Yue to help her with things and pass on messages.

Pei Yue had arranged the other secret guards in another felt tent these days, guarding them on both sides as they ran towards the Mobei camp together.

Zhong Yansheng thought of the two young men he saw in the afternoon, and asked quietly, "Brother, what did you mean by that Mongolian phrase you said the other day?"

Xiao Nong said nonchalantly: "Say you are a little fool."

Knowing that Xiao Nong would not say it, Zhong Yansheng asked again: "Then can you say it again?"

After a moment, he felt the person behind him lower his head, and his warm breath brushed past his ears. A familiar voice followed, and the voice was low and gorgeous, which was particularly attractive.

Xiao Nong repeated the sentence slowly.

Zhong Yansheng felt dizzy and his heart beat faster.

Indeed, it is the same.

Zhong Yansheng didn't say anything for a long time. Xiao Nong was just about to turn his head to see what the kid was thinking when he heard a stuttering and not very standard Mongolian voice coming from the front.

There was a sudden thump in my chest.

Zhong Yansheng pulled his hat up to hide the tips of his ears that were turning red, and whispered, "If you scold me, I will scold you too."

There was no response behind him for a moment.

He suddenly became uneasy, wondering if he had misunderstood. He turned to look at Xiao Nong and wanted to say something, but his head was quickly held down by Xiao Nong's hand and turned back.

Zhong Yansheng blinked blankly, not quite sure.

Did he just see...his brother blushing?

After a while, he heard Xiao Nong's hoarse voice, with a sigh of regret: "I really want to return to the camp immediately."

Go back to the camp immediately, what to do?

Zhong Yansheng waited for a long time before he got his response, but it was not what he had imagined. After two pauses, he finally realized what was going on and buried his head in silence.

This bad dog!

Before leaving the tribe, Xiao Nong's men had already passed the message to the camp, so when they were halfway there, they saw the black-armored guards coming to meet them.

The leader was Zhan Rong, and the other was Huo Shuang, who had gone to lead away the barbarian cavalry that day.

Seeing the two people intact, Zhan Rong breathed a sigh of relief, and his grim expression could no longer be maintained: "Master! Young Prince! You two almost scared me to death! I can't even eat these days!"

Huo Shuang said indifferently: "You have not missed any meal three times a day."

Zhan Rong choked: "I still can't sleep well!"

Huo Shuang: "You snore when you sleep."

Zhan Rong: “…”

The roles have been reversed. Before, it was Zhan Rong who provoked Huo Shuang and deliberately made Huo Shuang so angry that his veins popped out and he drew his sword to fight. Now, it was Huo Shuang who choked Zhan Rong half to death.

Seeing that Huo Shuang was fine, Zhong Yansheng felt relieved. Seeing that they were arguing and about to fight, he suppressed his laughter and tried to persuade them to make peace: "Okay, stop arguing."

His voice is soft and clear, and has a soothing effect.

Huo Shuang came over silently and followed behind the horse.

Zhan Rong also snorted, rode his horse over to walk side by side with Xiao Nong, and reported the recent situation in a low voice.

In order to remove the poison from Xiao Nong's body, Zhong Yansheng and Xiao Nong stayed in the Aohan tribe for more than half a month.

During the past half month, even though Zhan Rong found a man with a body shape similar to Xiao Nong and pretended to be Xiao Nong when the barbarian cavalry attacked, he was still discovered.

After all, he was fake and could not really show up. The Khoshut and Aluko tribes had been harassing the border continuously over the years. They were old acquaintances of Xiao Nong and hated him to the core. They realized something was wrong after a few encounters.

They tried several times in the past few days and confirmed that Xiao Nong was missing.

Xiao Nong is the heart of the army in Mobei. Having been stationed here for many years, fear has penetrated deeply into the hearts of the barbarians, and it is almost as effective as stopping a child from crying at night.

If he were missing or dead, it would be ten times easier to take over Mobei.

The current situation is that the barbarians are ready to make a move, and are planning a general attack. By the way, word has spread that Xiaonong is dead.

The news that Xiao Nong was treating an illness in the Aohan tribe was confidential, and only a very small number of generals knew about it. The army cannot be without a commander for a day, and the soldiers under him were indeed feeling uneasy after not seeing Xiao Nong for many days.

Fortunately, Xiao is back now and no longer suffers from the headache he once had.

Zhan Rong calmed down and asked, "Master, should we pass on the news that you are back?"

After listening to this, Xiao Nong raised his eyebrows and said, "No need. I guess, with their temperament, once they are sure that I am not in the army, they will definitely take action within three to five days."

Zhan Rong instantly understood what he meant, and replied with a chuckle, "Yes! I understand."

Zhong Yansheng probably understood what Xiao Nong meant, but compared to that, he was more worried about Xiao Nong. He bit his lip and asked, "Brother, are you going to the battlefield again?"

The new wounds on Xiao Nong's body had just healed.

After his head was rubbed twice, Xiao Nong said in a gentle voice, "Don't be afraid, Tiao Tiao. I have the amulet you gave me. When the war in Mobei is over, I will help your aunt annex the two tribes. Mobei will have at least twenty years of peace and security in the future."

By then, Xiao Nong will not have to stay in Mobei all the time, and this scorched earth full of war will be able to recuperate and regain its vitality.

Zhong Yansheng knew what the amulet Xiao Nong was talking about was. It was the longevity lock left to him by his parents. Xiao Nong always carried it with him, hidden under his collar.

He nodded and hummed.

He believed in Xiao Nong and his aunt.

After Zhan Rong finished speaking, Huo Shuang spoke up: "Your Highness, there is news from the capital."

Zhong Yansheng had originally agreed with the cabinet and Huai'an Hou and others that he would return soon, but after he stayed in the tribe for so many days, people in the capital were so anxious that they even sent several letters asking Zhong Yansheng when he would return.

Xiao Nong sighed softly: "Hasn't he been weaned yet? Why are you rushing him?"

Huo Shuang: "There is also a letter from Marquis Huai’an."

Xiao Nong: "But Tiao Tiao has a different status in the court now, so it's normal to urge him."

Zhong Yansheng: “…”

Huo Shuang handed the letter in his arms to Zhong Yansheng with both hands and continued, "The spies sent to monitor Prince An's movements also reported back that in the past few months, Prince An, apart from entertaining some clan nobles, has been raising birds and appreciating the snow in his mansion all day long, and has not made any unusual movements. The spies checked and confirmed that Prince An did not raise any soldiers."

Zhong Yansheng lowered his head and flipped through the letter, and paused when he heard this.

Several months have passed since Prince An left the capital. Now he and Xiao Nong are not in the capital, and Prince An does not seem to have made any unusual moves. Could it be that the strange feeling he had when Prince An spoke that day was just his own suspicion?

The heir favored by the old emperor actually has no ambition for the throne?

However, it would be best if the vassal kings did not make any unusual moves.

Zhong Yansheng opened the letter from Huai'an Marquis and read it: "What about the one in the palace?"

"I was just about to ask you," Huo Shuang said, "the one in the palace has been in a coma for a while, and he probably won't live long. Eunuch Tian Xi has been hiding outside the palace for a while, and after hearing the news, he wanted to go into the palace and wait by his side to see him off. Uncle Wei is undecided, so I'd like to ask for your opinion."

After all, he has been his old master for decades, so it is normal for Tian Xi to want to see him off.

I guess in the old emperor's mind, the person in the world least likely to betray him is Tian Xi.

But Tian Xi betrayed the old emperor, tacitly allowed him and Xiao Nong to swap the old man's medicine, and also facilitated Xiao Nong's Black Armored Army to enter the palace on the day of the palace riot. Now that Tian Xi appeared next to the old emperor, the old emperor would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.

Zhong Yansheng thought about it for a while, then nodded happily: "Okay."

As soon as Xiao Nong heard his tone, he knew what he was thinking. He couldn't help laughing and put his hand on his soft belly and rubbed it.

It looks like the glutinous rice balls on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It looks white and sticky on the surface, but when you take a bite, black sesame filling comes out.

It's still sweet though.

Xiao Nong liked it even more.

Zhong Yansheng's belly was a little sensitive. It shrank when his big hands rubbed it, and he secretly kicked him with his foot.

There are so many people around, and he just knows how to bully him.

With Zhan Rong and Huo Shuang coming to support them, they could return to the camp much faster.

It was already late at night when they arrived at the camp. Even with Xiao Nong's care, Zhong Yansheng still felt a burning pain between his legs. His whole body felt like it was falling apart, with pain and numbness in his bones. He fell asleep in Xiao Nong's arms.

The news Xiao brought back could not be leaked for the time being, so Zhan Rong went back first and temporarily transferred a patrolling black-armored army, letting them return to the camp in a low-key manner.

Several generals who came to see Xiao Nong excitedly after receiving the news saw Xiao Nong. Before they could say anything, they saw Xiao Nong getting off the horse with the person in his arms wrapped tightly in fox fur and making a "hush" sound at them.

The young man wrapped in the furry fox fur had only half of his face exposed. He was already extremely handsome, with soft and peaceful eyes. He had fallen asleep unknowingly, like a ball of light cloud, being carefully held in Xiao Nong's arms.

Recognizing that this was the young prince who had disregarded the danger to go out and look for Xiao Nong, everyone immediately fell silent.

Zhong Yansheng brought Xiao Nong back as promised.

They may not necessarily have respect for the royal children of noble status, but they did have respect for the little prince who bravely brought back their commander.

Xiao Nong moved the collar of his fox fur coat to cover Zhong Yansheng's face, then he carried him into the tent steadily, carefully following the principle of handling him with care, and slowly put him on the bed.

His movements were very light, but Zhong Yansheng was still half awake, though he was very sleepy, as if he was suffering from sleep paralysis. He couldn't open his eyelids no matter what. He vaguely felt that his belt seemed to have been untied and his boots and socks had been taken off.

He thought Xiao Nong was going to do something bad to him again, so he kicked him unhappily, hitting Xiao Nong in the chest.

Xiao Nong grabbed his snow-white, slender ankle and rubbed it twice. After being kicked by him, he was not angry at all, but seemed to be smiling.

After a while, the pain between his legs was covered by a cool feeling, and Zhong Yansheng vaguely realized that Xiao Nong was not going to do anything bad to him, but was helping him apply medicine.

The tender flesh between his legs was rubbed red.

He was just feeling touched and ashamed for misunderstanding Xiao Nong. He rubbed his feet gently in his arms twice, and then he felt a pair of aggressive gazes falling between his legs.

Zhong Yansheng subconsciously shrank into the quilt, but was held down by his legs.

Then a slightly cool kiss fell on the base of the legs, wrapped in a heavy and hot breath.

Zhong Yansheng was so scared that he clamped his legs together, and in panic, he clamped Xiao Nong's head. When he heard a muffled laugh, he quickly let go with a flushed face.

Fortunately, Xiao Nong just kissed him and didn't do anything else. He just put his pants on.

Zhong Yansheng felt that he was about to stand up and leave, so he struggled to hook his fingers and asked anxiously, "Brother, where are you going?"

"I'll be back soon after discussing something with them." Xiao Nong stroked his cheek lovingly with his fingers, his voice gentle and deep, "Taxue will be by your side, go to sleep."

Taxue called out softly, as if responding to Xiao Nong's words.

Zhong Yansheng hummed, calmed down, and fell asleep.

As a result, because he had been away for too long, there were too many things to deal with. They had to discuss how to ambush the barbarians who were ready to take action because they thought Xiao Nong was missing, and they also had to discuss cooperation with the Aohan tribe. When the sky was just getting light, Xiao Nong returned to the tent with a chill all over his body.

There was silence in the tent. Taxue was dozing off under the bed. When he heard a voice, he raised his head, saw it was Xiao Nong, and lay down again.

Seeing that Zhong Yansheng was still lying on the bed, Xiao Nong sat in front of the charcoal brazier and warmed himself to prevent Zhong Yansheng from getting cold.

As a result, Zhong Yansheng woke up first. He opened his eyes and saw Xiao Nong sitting in front of the charcoal basin. He called out in a hoarse voice, "Brother."

Xiao Nong turned around and saw him getting up from the bed, his long hair messy from sleeping. After a while, he slowly got down from the bed, walked over wearing a fox fur coat, and lay on his back, wrapping them both with the fur coat. He still had some sleepiness in his voice, and said vaguely, "You're so cold, let me warm you up."

A soft warmth came over him, and the fragrant orchid scent brushed against his nose. Xiao Nong felt his heart soften at the warmth he felt. Afraid that he would be cold, he turned around, picked him up, put him back on the bed, and covered him up. Then he followed him into bed: "Did I wake you up?"

Zhong Yansheng regained consciousness and shook his head: "I've had enough sleep. It's already daybreak outside. Did you stay awake all night?"

Seeing him like that, Xiao Nong lowered his head and kissed him: "Aren't you coming back to sleep?"

Zhong Yansheng didn't hide, and said with some distress: "Brother, I should go back to the capital."

The situation in the capital was already unstable, with various princes eyeing the situation covetously. He had been away for too long, and he was afraid that someone might make some small moves.

The battle in Mobei will take at least one or two months to end, so they will definitely not be able to see the New Year. If it drags on for longer, they may not see each other again until the beginning of spring.

After Huo Shuang reported it yesterday, Xiao Nong guessed it. He was silent for a moment, then pinched his jaw and kissed him a little more fiercely.

Zhong Yansheng obediently let him kiss him for a while, but the more obedient he was, the more fiercely Xiao kissed him. The simple bed in the tent creaked continuously, which woke up Taxue, who was sleeping at the bottom of the bed, and made him cry out a few times in displeasure.

After a long while, when Zhong Yansheng was almost out of breath, Xiao Nong finally let go of his red lips, looking unhappy: "When are you going back?"

Zhong Yansheng felt a little uneasy, afraid that Xiao would get angry, so he whispered, "We have to leave today... around noon."

Noon is only two hours away.

Xiao Nong stared at him, and for a moment, he had some thoughts that did not take the overall situation into consideration. He wanted to force Zhong Yansheng to stay and accompany him.

It was originally his little bird.

But it was only a moment, and that thought was suppressed. He nodded, with no expression on his face: "Well, I'll have someone escort you back to Beijing."

Even as he said he wanted to let him go, the grip on his waist grew tighter and tighter, and his eyes grew darker.

Zhong Yansheng was also reluctant to leave Xiao Nong, but he really had to go back. Seeing Xiao Nong didn't say anything, his long eyelashes trembled, and with a red face, he reached out to touch Xiao Nong's arms and felt a piece of hard muscle with distinct blocks: "Then... do you want to sleep with me?"

Xiao Nong's eyes darkened as he was touched: "Does the king look like such a lustful person?"

Zhong Yansheng raised his eyes to look at him, the black and white in his eyes clearly stated "Aren't you?"

Xiao Nong thought for a while, then peeled him off without being polite: "You are right, Tiao Tiao."

Xiao Nong is very gentle.

Everything was dragged out, and Zhong Yansheng felt extremely uncomfortable. He opened his lips and gasped for breath, with layers of hot sweat oozing out of his body. He felt even more exhausted than usual.

In the end, he had no choice but to beg Xiao Nong, who then showed his kindness and kissed him with a smile: "Whatever Tiao Tiao wants, I will naturally satisfy you."

As a result, at noon, Zhong Yansheng limped into the carriage.

Huo Shuang saw it and asked worriedly, "What happened to the little prince?"

"..." Zhong Yansheng buried his face in his collar, with a lot of lingering marks on his body, feeling guilty, "I, I fell down."

Xiao Nong hadn't slept for a whole day and night, and he fell into a rare peaceful sleep in the scent of Zhong Yansheng. Just now, Zhong Yansheng didn't wake him up, but kissed him lightly on the face, quietly put on his clothes and left the tent.

When Taxue saw Zhong Yansheng leaving, he followed him closely, biting his clothes and whimpering, not wanting him to leave.

Zhong Yansheng could only touch Taxue and coax her for a long time, and whispered: "When I'm not around, you and brother should be careful."

Seeing Taxue's very human look, Huo Shuang, who was waiting on the side, pondered again.

It seems that this big cat can really do a backflip.

When leaving the Mobei camp, in addition to the guards Zhong Yansheng brought with him, there was also an escorting group of black-armored soldiers who protected Zhong Yansheng as he headed south.

The journey was relatively smooth, and they did not encounter any barbarian cavalry or assassins. When they were about to arrive at the capital, they were able to confirm that it was safe. Zhong Yansheng knew that there was a shortage of manpower in Mobei, so he asked the Black Armor Guards to go back first.

When they arrived at the outskirts of Beijing, Wei Ling came to pick up Zhong Yansheng in person, looking a little solemn.

Zhong Yansheng's heart tightened involuntarily. Nearly ten days had passed since he returned to Beijing from Mobei. He had been away for such a long time, could something have happened again?

As expected, as soon as he got on the carriage, Wei Ling said solemnly, "My young master, this winter is extremely cold, and there has been an ice disaster in the Herun area. The court has allocated disaster relief grain several times, but rebels still appeared, and they are growing rapidly and difficult to suppress. They are heading towards the capital, and I am afraid they will arrive in a few days."

Herun Prefecture is not far from the capital. Zhong Yansheng frowned and asked, "Is it really a popular uprising?"

"Every winter, this happens in various places. I didn't pay much attention to them at first. But they grew so fast and there were so many of them. I sent people to investigate and found that they were well-armed and didn't look like civilians, but there were indeed many ordinary people among them."

When the people are short of food and clothing, they are easily instigated. Zhong Yansheng frowned even more tightly: "How? Can you find out who is behind this?"

Wei Ling said: "There are shadows of the remnants of King de."

After all, Prince De had been rooted there for many years, and his mother's family was powerful. Even if Prince De died, it would take some time to eradicate his remnants.

But also because Prince De died, these remnants were like scattered sand and had no power, so there has been no movement for such a long time.

Who on earth brought together this group of scattered remnants and used the refugees to revolt?

Zhong Yansheng pursed his lips.

During the previous palace turmoil, the three major camps were in chaos for a long time, and the fifth military camp was severely damaged. Before they could recuperate, the war on the border was tense, and the only general who could be used, Zhong Yansheng, was sent to Mobei.

The capital city was actually in a state of weakness, but there was nothing that could be done about it.

If a large army were to attack at this moment... could the three dying camps withstand it?

To be on the safe side, they needed reinforcements.

Seeing that Zhong Yansheng didn't say anything, Wei Ling asked, "Young Master, do you want to ask Prince Ding for help?"

Zhong Yansheng came back to his senses and immediately shook his head: "No."

The battle in Mobei is at a critical moment right now. It is impossible to transfer troops here, and Xiao Nong cannot be distracted.

Zhong Yansheng's face darkened: "Don't let anyone know - return to the capital immediately, I'm going to the Huai'an Marquis' Mansion!"

The father of the wife of the Marquis of Huai'an is the general of Taiyuan. The situation is somewhat urgent now. Zhong Yansheng plans to ask the wife of the Marquis for help directly and send a letter there for reinforcement.

After being away for a month, he returned to the capital. The scenery was completely different from that of the border. The New Year was coming soon, and the bustling streets were filled with singing and dancing, exuding a festive atmosphere. Zhong Yansheng couldn't help but be dazed when he saw it.

If the border is unstable, all this stability and peace will no longer exist.

When passing by Prince Ding's Mansion, he lifted the curtain and looked in for several times. He felt heavy in his heart, but when he thought of Xiao Nong, he seemed to gain a lot of courage.

When they arrived at the Marquis of Huai'an's mansion, unfortunately, the marquis's wife and the marquis of Huai'an were not at home. Only Zhong Sidu was at home preparing for the spring examination. Upon asking, they learned that it was almost New Year's Day and the marquis's wife had gone to a temple in the suburbs to pray for blessings.

Seeing Zhong Yansheng's hesitation, Zhong Sidu asked gently, "Is there anything you need from mother?"

Zhong Sidu is Madam Hou’s biological child, and Madam Hou’s father is his maternal grandfather. The effectiveness of his letters is almost the same as Madam Hou’s.

At first glance, the situation didn't seem that critical. Every year, there were mobs rioting, and the nobles in the capital still had time to hold banquets to appreciate the plum blossoms. But in fact, the situation was urgent. Zhong Yansheng didn't want to waste time. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Zhong Sidu, can you... write a letter for me to your grandfather?"

Zhong Sidu maintained his smile: "What letter?"

Zhong Yansheng took a deep breath and said, "Mobilize the troops."

The tiger talisman was in Xiao Nong's hand. Even the old emperor's decree did not allow him to mobilize troops. Zhong Sidu fell silent for a moment: "This is a capital crime."

Zhong Yansheng also knew that this was a serious crime, so he gritted his teeth and explained the situation.

Zhong Sidu was silent for a long time again, as if hesitating. Zhong Yansheng did not urge him, but just looked at him expectantly.

His look made it hard to refuse, and Zhong Sidu finally nodded: "Okay, I'll write the letter right away."

Zhong Yansheng didn't expect him to agree so quickly. He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Thank you for the trouble. Don't worry, I will take care of the other things."

Zhong Sidu stared at his smile absentmindedly, turned his back to get paper and pen to write a letter, his voice was a little faint for some reason: "It is still uncertain how powerful the rebels are, whether they will threaten the safety of the capital, and I am not sure whether my grandfather will send troops to help. Don't be too happy too soon."

Zhong Yansheng felt that even if the old man was unwilling to mobilize troops after receiving the letter, he would remember the letter and dispatch troops to support in time when he saw the situation in the capital.

But this is the worst case scenario.

Zhong Yansheng still hoped that the remnants of Prince De, who were mixed with the common people, would not be able to reach the capital.

Unfortunately, the opposite happened.

This group of rebels must have also heard the news from Mobei and knew that the battle there was at a critical juncture and Xiao Nong would not be able to get away.

Consistent with Wei Ling's assessment, only three or four days later, the rebels reached the vicinity of the capital and engaged in close combat with the Five Army Camps with astonishingly fierce and powerful forces.

As soon as Zhong Yansheng returned to Beijing, he imposed martial law in the capital. At first, many people did not take it seriously, but they did not expect that something really happened.

There was chaos in the Wuying Palace. Many of the ministers who came to discuss the matter were afraid that the rebels would rush into the city tomorrow, and requested Zhong Yansheng to issue an order to transfer Xiao Nong back to guard the capital.

Their lives are at stake, so they are no longer afraid of Xiao's evil intentions.

Zhong Yansheng had ordered the city gates to be lowered a few days ago, strictly prohibiting entry and exit. He did not respond to any of these people. He called the Minister of War and issued orders in an orderly manner, ordering the city guards to make preparations for defense.

Although things are going in a bad direction, fortunately it is still within expectations.

The only thing that made Zhong Yansheng uneasy was that there was no movement from Taiyuan.

Just when I was worried and sad, an unexpected person appeared with reinforcements.

When Zhong Yansheng received Wei Ling's report, he was stunned for a long time, and then he was very surprised: "Hurry up and open the city gate and let him in!"

He rode in a carriage, went out of the palace and went to the city gate to greet her in person. He hastily opened the curtain and bumped into a pair of familiar smiling eyes: "Xiao Sheng, is this timely rain from Brother Jing Wang?"
