Liu Jin finally became stronger for once. He quickly ordered his army to be stationed ten feet away from Ning'an City, and ordered everyone in the city to stay on guard and be ready to meet the enemy at any time.
Seeing Liu Jin's actions, Su Mu'er and the others were very pleased, especially Qing'er. When Su Mu'er proposed to leave here, Qing'er was the first to stand up and object.
"Third sister, Liu Jin is in trouble. I don't want to leave. I want to stay with him."
"Qing'er, he is the king of a country. He knows what to do, and the Guning country has strong soldiers and horses. You don't have to worry about him. We will not help him here. On the contrary, it will distract him."
"But even if we leave, we still have to say hello to him, right?"
As soon as Qing'er finished speaking, Xiao Yuanyuan hurriedly walked in,
"Mu'er, something happened."
Seeing her hurried look, Su Muer's heart tightened in her throat, and she asked hurriedly:
"What happened? The enemy is coming?"
"No." Xiao Yuanyuan picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, swallowed hard and said:
"All the guests in this inn were kicked away, and only a few of us are left."
"Why?" She looked surprised. Just now everything was as usual here.
"This is the decree issued by the Queen Mother. She said that we are people who deceive others with lies and we are not allowed to leave."
"What?"
Qing'er suddenly stood up, "She wants to put us under house arrest? Does Liu Jin know?"
Xiao Yuanyuan shook her head, "I don't know if Liu Jin knows it. Maybe he doesn't know. Now he is arranging the battle. I'm afraid he doesn't care about our place. What should we do? Are we still sneaking away like in Fengnan Kingdom?"
"No."
Su Muer said directly:
"We are not leaving this time. If we really leave secretly, it means that we are really deceiving Liu Jin. On the contrary, we will stay here and wait until the people from Fengnan Kingdom enter the country to see that the Queen Mother still has
What to say."
Qing'er also felt that Su Muer's words made sense, "Yes, the third sister is right. Let's see if that old woman dares to accuse us unjustly again."
"Qing'er." Su Mu'er glared at her, "She is the Queen Mother, you can't call her that."
"What's wrong with the Queen Mother? The Queen Mother is old and disrespectful. Why should I respect her?"
Seeing Qing'er's angry look, Su Mu'er really wanted to say: Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been natural enemies since ancient times. This is true at all. It seems that Qing'er wants to be with Liu Jin, and the Queen Mother must be sad about this.
She just prayed in her heart, hoping that one day, Qing'er would be able to see things openly.
"Okay, since we are not allowed to leave, let's stay. It would be good if we can help Liu Jin if we have the chance. Judging from the speed of our travel, the people from Fengnan Kingdom should not be far from here."
Su Muer's guess was not wrong. Just as Liu Jin finished arranging these matters, someone came to report.
"Your Majesty, there are unidentified people approaching Ning'an City two hundred miles outside the city, and there is a report from the front that the two cities adjacent to Fengnan Kingdom have been occupied by Fengnan Kingdom."
Hearing this, Liu Jin frowned instantly.
"How many of them are there?"
All the ministers and generals present also cast inquiring glances at the messenger.
"Visually there are probably tens of thousands of people, but they are more than one team, and there are at least three teams behind them."
After everyone heard what the messenger said, they were all stunned. It seemed that the people from Fengnan Kingdom had come out in full force.
One of them breathed a long sigh of relief, stepped forward and cupped his fists, saying:
"Fortunately, the emperor had the foresight to arrange the people in advance, otherwise we would have been caught off guard."
"Yes, your Majesty has saved the people and soldiers in this city this time. If the enemy army suddenly attacks us when we are unprepared, we may be completely destroyed."
"Yes, yes, the emperor is wise."
All the ministers were talking about it, but only Liu Jin knew in his heart that all the credit for this should go to Su Muer and his party.
If they hadn't risked being suspected to spread the news, they would really have become the prey of the Fengnan people.
Thinking of this, he looked at everyone with deep eyes, clenched his fists, and said bitterly:
"Sirs, although the Guning Kingdom has been friendly with the people of the Fengnan Kingdom for generations, the Fengnan people took advantage of the late emperor's death to come and seize the country of our Guning Kingdom, and want to trample on the people of my Guning Kingdom like ants. This is
We absolutely cannot tolerate this."
After saying this, he glanced at everyone again and said: "All the soldiers listened to the order and sealed the gate of Ning'an City. The soldiers outside the city are preparing to cooperate inside and outside. When the time comes, they will catch turtles in a jar and beat him from Fengnan Kingdom."
People fall into disgrace, and let them run away with their tail between their legs."
After hearing this, everyone was extremely angry. Everyone waved their fists and shouted,
"I have been ordered to do so, and I will go all out to defend the territory of Guning Kingdom."
At this time, Liu Jin's eyes were filled with determination that he had never seen before. For the first time, he found the feeling that he was the emperor.
He decided at that moment that he was going to find Su Muer and his party, and he still wanted to listen to their ideas on some matters.
When the enemy troops attacked, everyone in the palace immediately went into chaos when they heard the news. Xiaoqian couldn't wait to run to notify the Queen Mother.
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, the enemy... the enemy is really coming."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother's face turned a little gloomy. She slammed the teacup to her lips on the table and asked sternly:
"What did you say?"
"I said that the army of Fengnan Kingdom is approaching the border. It has already occupied two cities of Guning Kingdom. It will arrive at Ning'an City by about evening."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother suddenly felt dizzy. She covered her forehead with her hands and shook her body. Then she anxiously prepared to stand up.
"No, hurry up and summon all the generals and ministers to discuss the affairs of the Qing Palace."
"Mother."
Xiaoqian directly helped her sit down, "The Queen Mother forgot that Brother Huang is here. He has arranged everything and is just waiting for the arrival of the enemy army."
The Queen Mother looked at her with disbelief, "Are you serious? Isn't Jin'er scared? Why didn't he come to report to the Ai family?"
Xiaoqian nuzzled her nose, squinted her eyes slightly and smiled,
"Mother, have you forgotten? This is the letter that Miss Su brought to report. Brother Huang believed what they said and had already arranged a strategy to deal with the enemy. Otherwise, there would really be chaos in Ning'an City at this time."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother murmured thoughtfully:
"Could it be that the Ai family really wronged them?"
"Yes, Queen Mother, you have wronged Miss Su and the others. Their words are true. Moreover, it was they who came to report in advance this time and saved Ning'an City and Guning Country."
"Is the queen mother wrong?"
The Queen Mother blushed, thinking of what she had said to Su Muer two days ago, and of imprisoning them in the inn, she stood up again,
"Xiaoqian, go to the inn and invite Miss Su and the others to come to the palace. The Ai family wants to thank them personally."
Xiaoqian looked at her mother's sudden awakening and nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, I'll go right away. Mother is waiting here."
