The people around him shook their heads and said, "The princess has always been unexpected. Who knows what to do? Look, isn't this even the people from the Duke of Xiangguo's Mansion coming?" Duke Xiangguo gave his niece a lot of face. The princess asked all officials from the fourth rank and above to come to the city tower to watch the battle and could bring their families. So Duke Xiangguo brought all the families in the mansion, except for a few grandchildren who were too young. As for other officials, except for some brave girls and sons in the military generals, no one was interested in watching again.

"Don't worry, the princess can't harm her uncle, right? Huh...those are..." Everyone turned their heads and saw a large group of young men wearing Confucian scholar costumes walking up. The clothes on these people were the same, obviously from the same place.

"Student from the Imperial College." Someone said in surprise.

These scholars obviously did not come spontaneously, because the one who walked in front was a beautiful woman with a certain degree of alien blood. The scholars followed her with a little anger on their faces, but for some reason they did not attack. The woman took the person to the city tower and handed it over to the generals stationed in the city tower and turned toward the small pavilion where Princess Shenyou was.

The people of the Clan did not arrive as soon as everyone thought. They waited until the sun was about to set in the evening and there was no trace. The scouts who were exploring the news came from time to time to come to hug the Clans from time to time, how many miles the Clans were still from Pingjing, etc. Logically speaking, a journey of only a few dozen miles was the speed of the Clans' cavalry. Now that it has not arrived, it is obviously because the imperial guards outside the city were dragged down.

Chu Ling and Ahulu played the same game until evening, and in the end, Chu Ling narrowly won the game. The game lost, but Ahulu did not react much. When he fell into the hands of Princess Shenyou, he had already thought about his ending. As the Prime Minister of Northern Jin, he was not afraid of death, he was just unwilling to give up.

Chu Ling slowly took back the chess piece and said casually: "It's so slow."

Wanfeng, who was sitting on the side, smiled and said, "Princess, maybe you can't hit the downstairs at all." After all, the Lord of Cangyun City, Feng Zheng and Xiao Feng personally took action, and the troops were unnecessary, the people of the Chuang tribe might not necessarily let the people walk to the foot of Pingjing Imperial City. Chu Ling was a little worried, "That won't be possible. I specially invited so many people to watch the battle today. Wouldn't it be in vain?"

Wanfeng felt a little sympathetic to those outside. The apocalypse is not very cold now, but it started to cool down after sunset in the evening. Moreover, I spent the whole day on the city tower and ate the food of ordinary soldiers, which was not an easy task for these pampered officials and men.

"Maybe the ending is exactly the opposite of what the princess guessed." Ahulu said coldly.

Chu Ling smiled and said, "Do you really have such a hundred times confidence in the cavalry of the Clan?"

Ahulu didn't speak. He was not a person who couldn't see clearly. Naturally, he knew that the cavalry of the Clan and the Apocalypse Imperial Army now had no chance of winning. Even if they barely won, what's the use? Unless they could occupy Pingjing at the fastest speed, no matter how many imperial troops they killed, the Apocalypse could supplement more troops at a faster speed.

"Tian Yixuan!" There was no order from him, the soldiers and horses of the Clan would not act without permission. But now... since they moved, Tian Yixuan, who escaped from the prison, did something to make the generals who led the troops believe him. Ahulu thought that all his belongings were searched by the Apocalypse, but... only Tian Yixuan knew which one could really recognize that he could mobilize troops, and the necessary procedures for mobilizing troops.

"You deliberately let Tian Yixuan go!" Ahulu said in a deep voice.

Chu Ling curled his lips and smiled slightly, "It's not intentional. After all, it's easy to make people suspicious if you let them go on purpose. I just... talked to him before he escaped, and found someone to make a deal with him after he escaped. Lord Tian obviously cherishes his life more than the lives of the Clan and the adults."

"The Ancestors are despicable and shameless, I have seen this!" Ahulu said in a deep voice, "Even if Tian Yixuan returns to Pingjing, Your Majesty will not let him go!" No matter what excuses Tian Yixuan has, this failure of the plan is a serious crime.

Chu Ling said, "I only promise not to make things difficult for him in Tianqi territory, but there is no guarantee that he will be cured for him. However, since Lord Tian agreed to my conditions so readily, he must have known the way ahead." From beginning to end, Chu Ling did not intend to win over the Tian family. The Tian family was not a member of them, and the Tian family had already defected to the people of the Clan before the Clan entered the pass. The Clan entered the pass so smoothly, and the Tian family also made great efforts. Therefore, the Tian family was still powerful in the Northern Jin Dynasty where the Clan was in power. How could such a person really seek refuge in Tianqi? Even if they were willing, Chu Ling did not plan to ask.

"Here you come!" Xia Yueting, who was standing on the other window and listening to them silently, suddenly spoke.

Everyone in the small pavilion immediately looked out the window, and sure enough, they heard the sound of thousands of troops stomping on the ground from afar, even making the ground roar. Chu Ling listened carefully and suddenly exclaimed. Everyone looked at her, "Princess, what's wrong?"

Chu Ling raised his eyebrows and said, "The voice is a bit messy, not like a marching..." It seems more like a escaping.

While speaking, smoke and dust appeared at the end of the road ahead. Countless tribes held their weapons and rode their horses towards the city gate. Their lineup was not neat, but they rushed forward with all their might, as if they wanted to rush into the city in one fell swoop. There was already a burst of exclamation outside the pavilion, and someone shouted loudly: "Hurry up! Close the city gate! Close the city gate!"

Some people couldn't help but want to rush down the city tower, but were scared back by the knife in the hands of the soldiers guarding the exit. Some people couldn't help but curse, while others couldn't help crying to the sky for a while, which was even more lively than outside the city.

Ashulu looked at this scene and couldn't help but sneer, "As such people, such courts, the princesses still have to guard them? If my men of the clan, if they encounter this situation, they will only pick up the knife in their hands and fight against the enemy, and they will definitely not be so cowardly!"

Chu Ling sighed helplessly: "It's indeed a problem, but... do you know how many people there are in Apocalypse?"

Ahulu refused to answer, and Chu Ling said, "So, their cowardice is only good for the Clan."

The sound of war drums on the city tower rang out, and each sound seemed to make people's hearts sound. A young man wearing war armor and robe walked over from the other end and said sternly: "Shut up! Get ready to fight to defend the city!"

"Is it Feng Sibei?" Wanfeng was stunned, and Chu Ling was also a little surprised, "Isn't he in the palace?"

Someone hurried in outside and reported, "Princess, Your Majesty is here."

While speaking, Emperor Yongjia had been helped by someone and walked in, with Changsheng and Xiao Yan'er next to him. Chu Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, blinked his fingers and lit a few times on Ahulu, and smiled and said, "Sir, I feel wronged."

Ahulu said nothing, Chu Ling stood up and greeted Emperor Yongjia, "Father, why are you here?"

Emperor Yongjia said, "I heard that you have brought all the officials in the court to the city tower, so I will come over to see it." Chu Ling helped Emperor Yongjia sit down aside and said, "It's very windy on the city tower tonight, so be careful of the cold." Emperor Yongjia shook his head and smiled, "It's okay, I'm wearing a lot, and I'm taking the imperial physician." Chu Ling nodded and turned to look at Changsheng, "Changsheng, are you afraid?" Changsheng shook his head and said with a crisp voice: "Don't be afraid."

Chu Ling raised his hand and rubbed his little head and said, "It's good if you're not afraid. Follow Sister Wanfeng and Sister Yan'er, they will take care of you." Changsheng knew that there were so many things happening at this time, so he nodded seriously.

Emperor Yongjia glanced at Ahulu, who was sitting at the window like a wooden stake, but he didn't say anything. He was not very interested in things in the court, and now he was not in good spirits, so he didn't want to care about it. Since he had entrusted it to his daughter, he naturally believed in his daughter's behavior and ability.

During the break of their conversation, the cavalry of the tribe had already rushed to the downstairs and began to attack the city frantically. These tribes seemed to be fighting very hard, and they had not attacked the city directly after they even rested. The generals on the city tower had already begun to command the soldiers to defend the city. For a moment, the sound of killing was everywhere and accompanied by the screams of exclamations on the city tower.

The city tower in Pingjing is not as tall as Shangjing, and it is not quite tall and consolidated. Fortunately, the people of the Clan are all cavalry and do not have large-scale siege equipment. But even so, the Clan's fierce and fearless state still puts great pressure on the soldiers guarding the city. Once or twice, the Clan people almost climbed up the city tower along the ladder.

"What's going on? Why are the people of the Clan so fierce?" Wanfeng couldn't help frowning. She had made friends on Lingcang River for many years and still had some understanding of the Clan people. These Clan people are not only elite, but also in this state is really fierce. In this case, these Clan cavalry are actually a better choice than siegeing the city. If they want to retreat, the imperial guards may not be able to stop them. But they chose to siege the city at this time. You must know that although there are not many soldiers and horses in Pingjing Imperial City now, there are at least 100,000 soldiers and horses outside the city. Once those soldiers and horses are surrounding them, these Clan cavalry will probably be unable to escape.

Chu Ling curled his lips slightly and chuckled softly: "The back road has been cut off. What else can I do except fight hard?"

Everyone looked at Chu Ling one after another, and Xia Yueting hesitated and said, "Princess is saying... Someone blocked the way for the cavalry of the tribe to return north?" After that, he couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning. He was determined to keep all these tribesmen in Jiangnan.

Chu Ling smiled and said, "Otherwise. Judging from their situation just now, they should have fought with others. I found that the situation was not conducive to him and he didn't run away, so it was because he couldn't run away."

Wanfeng blinked, "Princess, General Xiao and the others... should be back soon, right?"

Chu Ling shrugged and smiled, "How do I know this? I see that there are less than 40,000 soldiers and horses below, and maybe they are tripped up."

"..." The defenders in the imperial city were taken away. Now there are less than 40,000 defenders in the city.
