On the fifth day after Xiao Dingcheng left, Shengjing City was in chaos. The city gates were closed and the garrison was heavily guarded... Outside the city, Xiao Dingcheng, the former Prince of Zhenbei, led the Suzaku Battalion to besiege Shengjing, trying to force the emperor to abdicate.
At the same time, news spread throughout Shengjing about the assassination of the Tang Emperor's coach in front of the formation, resulting in the fall of Yanyunguan and the massacre of tens of thousands of people.
Xiao Dingcheng led the Suzaku Camp to attack the city. At the same time, someone had already gone to Yanyunguan Town with the Northern Army's military talisman to mobilize the Northern Army to rebel.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty killed Xiao Ceyuan and accused him of collaborating with the enemy. However, he was afraid that the officials in the court would be disheartened, so he did not do anything. He spared the lives of their family members and only demoted them to common people.
His people dug deep into the ground at Yanyunguan and the former Zhenbei Prince's Mansion to search for the military symbols of the Zhenbei Army and the Suzaku Camp. Xiao Dingcheng and the princess were also searched before leaving the mansion... but nothing was found.
Emperor Tang didn't pay much attention to Xiao Dingcheng, the second-generation ancestor who beat horses and walked around the streets...
Unexpectedly, Xiao Dingcheng actually had a military talisman in his hand.
What was even more unexpected was that he actually dared to rebel!
Also, how did things about Yanyunguan spread... He had people block the news there. How did those things spread back to Shengjing!
People in the city were in panic, but Emperor Tang felt confident.
It's just the Suzaku Camp. He also has the South Camp and the West Camp. As long as it can last for three days, the rebels in the Suzaku Camp will not be afraid.
But what the Emperor of Tang did not expect was that when he went to court on the second day, the civil servants, led by the great scholar Wei Shuheng, and the generals, led by the above general Dou Zhong, got into an unprecedented knot and forced him to issue an edict to punish himself.
This is tantamount to forcing him to publicly admit that he framed Zhongliang at Yanyunguan and caused the massacre of tens of thousands of people...
The Emperor of Tang Dynasty left in anger, and the courtiers were completely silent.
At the same time, the city gate guards waited passively, and the Suzaku camp approached the city gate with great momentum.
Except for those who had been prepared for it, most of the other people, whether they were court officials or common people, were confused... They simply could not understand how Shengjing, which had been singing and dancing the day before, was turned upside down overnight.
The generals who defended the city resigned, and several princes stayed behind closed doors... The ninth prince Bai Chengze, who had always been weak, asked himself to defend the city and led the imperial guards to the tower.
Sheng Nuan and Liu Rumian were also on the tower with the Ninth Prince.
When the group of soldiers broke into the courtyard, Liu Rumian was stunned. She couldn't help crying and calling for help. Then she realized that she, Wen'er, master and servant, and Sheng Nuan were the only ones left in the huge courtyard.
The old lady and the princess had already been sent away.
Liu Rumian was afraid and hated, and her eyes were full of resentment.
They actually left on their own... The immortal old woman and Dong Qingshuang actually left her behind and ran away on their own.
She has Xiao Dingcheng's flesh and blood in her belly, how dare they!
But seeing Sheng Nuan, her resentment seemed to have found an outlet again.
As Liu Rumian was being pulled into the car, she smiled crazily at Sheng Nuan: "Look, what's the use of trying to please them? Haha, why don't they abandon you and run away?"
Sheng Nuan looked calm: "I sent them away, is there any problem?"
Liu Rumian froze suddenly, realized something, and then went crazy: "Sheng Nuan, you use me as a cover, how dare you...how dare you, I still have the flesh and blood of the prince in my belly, how dare you!"
After Sheng Nuan put up a perfunctory resistance, she was arrested together with Liu Rumian. She didn't mind: "It's not mine, so I still have to care whether you are born or not?"
The two were stuffed into the carriage together, Liu Rumian was panicking, while Sheng Nuan looked calm.
Liu Rumian suddenly realized something: "You want to escape by yourself, right? Do you want to escape by yourself?"
The next moment, she suddenly shouted: "Sheng Nuan knows martial arts, she will definitely escape, Sheng Nuan knows martial arts!"
While shouting, Liu Rumian looked at Sheng Nuan with hatred in his eyes, as if he would hold Sheng Nuan on his back even if he died.
Soon, a figure got into the carriage and fed a pill into Sheng Nuan's mouth.
The customer service staff clicked his tongue: "Host, it's a Hua Gong Pill... the effect is equivalent to Ruanjin Powder, but don't worry, I've already prepared it, the pill has already expired."
Sheng Nuan praised it: "Excellent customer service, sweet baby, you are awesome."
The customer service was very shy: "Hehe..."
But then it suddenly came to its senses... When did it start to calmly accept the title of "customer service"?
And he felt smug about being praised.
It’s worthless... it’s so worthless!
After a while, seeing Sheng Nuan leaning against the carriage weakly, Liu Rumian suddenly showed a happy and vicious smile: "You can't run away either!"
Sheng Nuan was speechless: When did this person become crazy?
Liu Rumian continued to curse Sheng Nuan until she was dragged off the carriage, but then she saw the city wall.
The city walls were guarded with weapons and equipment, waiting for murderous intent. At the same time, she heard the faint sound of drums and the neighing of war horses coming from outside the city gate... Liu Rumian didn't know what happened yet, but she subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
"What are you bringing me here for? Why, why are you bringing me here? Let me go, don't touch me, don't touch me..."
Sheng Nuan was pushed out of the carriage, staggered and almost fell to the ground, suffering from the standard symptoms of Ruanjin San.
The customer service staff praised: "The host's acting skills are great!"
Sheng Nuan did not hesitate to praise: "It's because of your good logistics that I can have nothing to fear..."
The customer service was shy again: "Host, you complimented me again. Has the relationship between us begun to become deeper..."
Sheng Nuan clicked her tongue: "Don't get me wrong, it's just mutual business support."
customer service:……
After a while, Sheng Nuan and Liu Rumian were brought to the city wall and saw the Ninth Prince wearing armor.
Liu Rumian's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly begged: "Your Highness Ninth, Your Highness Ninth, it's me, I'm Liu Rumian, I saved you last time, Your Highness Ninth, please don't hurt me, please..."
"
The Ninth Prince looked at Liu Rumian expressionlessly, then glanced at her already pregnant belly, and said coldly: "Mrs. Liu, I don't want to hurt you... As long as you can make Xiao Dingcheng withdraw, I promise that today you
Not a hair will fall out.”
Xiao Dingcheng? Retreat?
Liu Rumian was suddenly startled, and looked back, only to see tens of thousands of soldiers densely arrayed in the wilderness outside the city wall.
The military flags are hunting with murderous intent, and the one wearing silver armor at the front is none other than Xiao Dingcheng, whom he hasn't seen for a few days!
Liu Rumian was stunned for a moment.
Xiao Dingcheng rebelled?
Rebellion will kill the nine tribes... He actually rebelled?
But then she suddenly trembled... No, now is not the time to think about this, she wants to save her life, she must save her life.
The next moment, Sheng Nuan and Liu Rumian were pushed to the city wall together.
The Ninth Prince took a step forward, looked at the military formation under the city wall, and spoke in a loud voice: "Xiao Dingcheng, your pregnant wife and concubine are here. The old lady and your mother are also in my hands. I want to see you today."
Can you step on their corpses and attack the city?"
But at this moment, he heard Sheng Nuan's shout coming from the city wall.
"I'll send the old lady and princess away, Xiao Dingcheng, don't be afraid... kill them all and take revenge!"
Before Sheng Nuan finished speaking, the Ninth Prince pulled him back and put the sword on his neck: "It seems you have really had enough!"
Outside the city wall, Xiao Dingcheng's heart felt relieved at first, and then he felt a sharp throbbing pain.
Since Sheng Nuan could send away her grandmother and his mother, she must have had the opportunity to leave, but she didn't... because she knew that if those people lost their targets, they would be hunted down.
She stayed as bait to protect the elders in the family.
At this moment, the Ninth Prince raised his sword and spoke loudly: "Xiao Dingcheng, who do you want me to send to see you first, eh?"
Xiao Dingcheng's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he gritted his teeth and clenched the sword in his hand.
At this time, a person next to him stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, if you delay for a moment, our people will be able to rescue the two ladies right away..."
Xiao Dingcheng suddenly felt certain.
He stepped forward to mount his horse and said in a deep voice: "Let them go, and I can retreat!"
The Ninth Prince was stunned for a moment, there was obvious doubt in his eyes, but then he smiled again: "Haha, it is indeed the Xiao Dingcheng I know, and it is indeed the love interest..."
The next moment, the Ninth Prince's expression suddenly turned cold: "Do you think I am a fool?"
The Ninth Prince slowly walked to Sheng Nuan and Liu Rumian: "You don't want to retreat at all, do you... In that case, Xiao Dingcheng, then attack the city on the blood of your women and flesh and blood!"
Before he finished speaking, the Ninth Prince violently pushed Sheng Nuan and Liu Rumian down the city wall with both hands...
"Your Majesty, save me!"
Liu Rumian screamed and subconsciously covered her belly...
Xiao Dingcheng's expression changed drastically. He suddenly flew up from his horse and rushed towards Liu Rumian who was holding her abdomen without thinking.
Liu Rumian is pregnant and Nuan Nuan has martial arts skills, so this is the best method.
But the next moment, Xiao Dingcheng saw from the corner of his eye that Sheng Nuan next to him didn't react at all, falling down like a kite with its string broken...
