Urgent reports of the barbarian invasion were sent to the imperial city.

But at this time, all the officials were still stranded in Yuanqiu outside the city with the emperor.

"What should we do? Who can take the decision?"

"Go and report to Your Majesty!"

"As you may know, Your Majesty has just mobilized the Longhu Army under Zhao Guogong and the Tianxing Army under General Huaihua. I'm afraid something big has happened..."

"Then what should we do about this barbarian invasion? We can't ignore it! Do you know the scale of this invasion?"

"How old?"

"There are remnant tribes who have taken up the banner of the remnants of the Beidi royal family, and have roped in the Xirong and Nanman tribes to attack our border city together!"

"That's really fatal..."

There were not many officials left in the imperial city, and they did not dare to make decisions without authorization. At this time, they felt frightened after hearing the military report, and they did not dare to make decisions without authorization.

"...Let the Xuanwu Army go." Suddenly someone came up with an idea.

"What? How dare you and I command the army so easily? This must be ordered by His Majesty himself."

"The Xuanwu Army used to follow King Xuan in his expeditions to the north and south. There is no one better than them in dealing with these barbarians."

"Who doesn't know this? But the question is, how to get His Majesty's decree?"

"Yeah." The man pondered for a moment and said, "Go find Ning Gong."

"What?"

"He is an upright man and a close minister of the emperor. Now he is the only one left in the capital who can take charge."

"But this is against the rules after all..."

"If you stick to the rules and miss the opportunity to fight, causing countless casualties to the people in the border towns, damaging the prestige of Daliang, and bringing shame on your face, who will bear the responsibility? Is it you? Or me?"

After the two whispered, they finally went to find Ning Gong.

"I'm not on duty today, why do you guys come to visit?" Ning Que raised the heavy curtain and walked out.

Behind the curtain, Xu Zhi stood and clenched her hands nervously.

If someone breaks it... what does it look like?

"Ning Gong, help me!" the visitor shouted, and hurriedly explained the whole story clearly before entering the door.

"Please also ask Ning Gong to make a decision quickly and stabilize the overall situation."

"What? Your Majesty was in danger in Yuanqiu? Barbarians invaded again?"

"That's right, doesn't Mr. Ning know that? In the past two days, everyone in the Xue family has been arrested, and there has been a lot of commotion."

"I know about this, but I don't know why the Xue family was taken."

"He just became a traitor... Hey, but you and I don't have to worry about these things. Duke Zhao and General Zu will deal with it. But what should we do about the barbarian invasion now?"

"Xuanwu Army." Ning Que spat out three words.

The man was surprised: "Does Ning Gong think so too?"

"I'll take the blame." Ning Que said calmly.

Of course the man was eager to do so and said happily: "Ning Gong is righteous!"

Ning Que wrote a warrant and handed it to the man: "Go to the Xuanwu Army."

The man quickly rode his horse and went there.

When the others were completely gone, Ning Que turned around and returned behind the curtain.

Xu Zhi quickly asked: "What happened again? Things are happening one after another in the capital..."

Ning Que was silent for a long time and said firmly: "Nothing happened."

Xu Zhi stared at him: "There is such a big movement and you still think nothing happened? You shouldn't fool me like this..."

Ning Que smiled gently and said, "Nothing happened to King Xuan. Isn't this what Madam is most concerned about?"

Xu Zhi's face turned red: "Yes, but how can you be sure that King Xuan is fine?"

Ning Que's face slightly condensed: "Because all the tricks now... are all done by King Xuan. Maybe it will be clear in a few days."

"How is it so clear?" Xu Zhi still didn't quite understand.

At this time, someone whispered outside the tent: "Master."

Ning Que walked over and hung up the curtain halfway, so that it could still cover Xu Zhi inside.

The man said in horror: "There is news coming back from outside the city, saying that... Princess Xuan was killed by rebels."

Ning Que's expression changed suddenly, and when he turned around suddenly, he saw Xu Zhi falling straight on her back.

He quickly hugged Xu Zhi and said, "Madam, I may not be able to do this correctly..."

"Didn't you say... nothing happened?" Xu Zhi's limbs were cold and she could only manage to make some noise.

She could no longer maintain her expression, so she buried herself in his chest and began to cry repressedly: "Qingyin, Qingyin... that bastard! Bastard! It's my mother's fault. She shouldn't have let a tiger become a problem! What's wrong with my mother? Wouldn't he be smarter and discover his true face earlier..."

"Qingyin..."

Xu Zhi couldn't lift herself up in one breath and fainted in Ning Que's arms.

At that time, Ning Que's order was quickly received in the Xuanwu Army camp.

"Is this from Zhongshu Province?" General Yunhui held the order in surprise.

Ning is indeed the right servant and the minister of Zhongshu. When this thing comes out of his hand, it almost represents the entire Zhongshu Province.

And Zhongshu, the governor of the military and state affairs, upholds the emperor's will. It is precisely used to issue orders.

It's quite heavy!

General Yunhui hesitated: "Don't we have to wait for His Majesty's decree?"

"Your Majesty is temporarily trapped in Yuanqiu, fearing that the barbarians will invade. In fact, he is collaborating with others to rebel! He is escorted by Zhao Guogong and King Xuan... To deal with the barbarians, we have to rely on the generals!" the visitor urged.

General Yunhui thought the same thing.

The more times like this, the more decisive we should be!

Only in the future can I stand out and truly gain the respect of His Majesty.

You must know that although the Xuanwu Army is no longer under the command of King Xuan, they are still more convinced of King Xuan and are somewhat dissatisfied with him as their general. To put it bluntly, they still have not fought together.

After seeing the true chapter on the battlefield, I can naturally tame these people!

General Yunhui immediately made up for his hesitation: "Order your troops immediately, I, the general, will lead the army to go on an expedition!"

After King Xuan left, the Xuanwu Army also sat on the bench for a while. At this time, they were ordered to attack, and everyone became excited.

General Yunhui quickly led his people and rushed out of the city.

But halfway through, I saw a group of people approaching from a distance.

"Who dares to block the path of my Xuanwu Army?" General Yunhui said coldly.

The young man at the head of the horse stepped forward and smiled evilly: "Ye Wei from Prince Xuan's Palace!"

"Brother Ye." Someone from the Xuanwu Army immediately called him affectionately.

Ye Wei responded: "Hey."

General Yunhui wondered: "But what did King Xuan order?"

Ye Wei nodded, walked closer, drew his sword, and killed people in one go.

General Yunhui's lieutenant's face changed greatly: "You are so brave..."

The men of the Xuanwu Army immediately followed suit and cut off the horse's hoofs. The deputy fell down with a crash, and then cut into the belly with the knife.

Blood poured out of the deputy general's mouth and he closed his eyes.

"All you gentlemen, follow me to Yuanqiu to see His Highness." Ye Wei's smile became even brighter and asked: "How?"

The Xuanwu Army responded in unison: "Okay!"

In the cave.

It's already the second day.

Xue Qingyin is still waiting.

She could not set off until the wind and snow subsided, otherwise it would be terrible if she slipped and fell!

In fact, this time it was much easier than the previous Mon escape, as they only had to wait for the snow to stop.

Because hunters are never allowed to enter the mountains near the villa. Naturally, there are no hunting traps on the mountains, so she doesn't have to worry about accidental injuries.

Xue Qingyin exhaled and wrapped the cloak tighter around her body.

Fortunately, it's not very cold.

Ever since she became pregnant, she has always felt hot. I don't know if it's because there is a baby in her belly and its body temperature is also taken with it.
