"How could it be possible that His Majesty is missing!"
After hearing the news, the Queen Mother came surrounded by the ladies in the chamber.
"Xu is going to handle government affairs."
I said this with a bit of joy.
"Your Majesty is still so diligent even though he is ill. It is a blessing in misfortune."
The ministers agreed to say something, and a servant stumbled in from outside.
"Everything in Qinzheng Palace has been cleaned up..."
They screamed and fell to their knees on the ground.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty ran away..."
There was a dead silence in the emperor's palace, and everyone was stunned.
"How could your Majesty run away!" The Queen Mother was the first to recover and screamed, "Look for her again..."
Before she finished speaking, the chamberlains had raised their heads again.
"Mother, the jade seal is also missing, the royal guards are also missing, and Eunuch Yuan Bao is also missing. People in the third emperor's palace said that the third prince is also missing..." they cried.
Everyone in the palace understood what this meant, and their hearts felt cold.
The Queen Mother even flopped down on her chair.
"Run away?" she said, "Running away with the third prince, leaving the Ai family behind...how is this possible..."
That's her son, her biological son.
She gave birth to him, raised him, and supported him to ascend to the throne.
He actually left her and ran away when the Jin army arrived?
No, not only did he abandon her, he also did it on purpose. He also deliberately let people lie to her, saying that he would come to greet her tomorrow.
Doesn't he know what will happen to these people in the palace if the Jin people come?
He didn't abandon her, he clearly wanted to give her to the golden man.
This is her son, and she is his mother!
The Queen Mother fell down on the chair, looking sluggish and in disbelief. She just felt confused.
Before she could finish her murmurings, an older chambermaid had already let out a scream.
"Your Majesty ran away! The Jin people are coming in again!"
This word "you" awakened the palace people's long-standing nightmare.
The memory of having experienced the imperial city being attacked and wreaked by the golden men's iron hoofs instantly flooded the entire palace like a flood.
There were screams and cries, and the entire imperial city fell into chaos. This chaos and fear spread outwards as people fled.
………..
………
A blue light lit up on the horizon, and the night faded away. Light always dispelled fear and gave people strength. However, the faces of the generals standing on the city wall did not improve at all. Instead, they turned pale.
There was another commotion in the city, and countless people were rushing towards the city gates on all sides. Compared with last night, when you couldn't see clearly in the darkness, looking down at the crowd at this moment was shocking.
What's even more shocking is what they shouted.
"The emperor ran away?" A general murmured, turning to look at Ning Yan beside him, "Master Ning, is this true?"
Ning Yan is no longer an official and has left the court for a long time, but everyone is still accustomed to calling him "sir" and regards his words as official words.
Ning Yan's lips moved. He had followed the teachings of the Holy Spirit in his life and acted openly. There was nothing he couldn't say, but at this moment he really couldn't open his mouth.
The king they believed in as a protector escaped secretly when the enemy troops pressed on the city.
People's hearts are scattered and in chaos, the emperor has run away, and there is no one trustworthy in the government and court, let alone someone who is not an official. Even if more officials stand up to comfort the people, it will be useless.
What a waste. Ning Yan couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.
Even if you want to escape, you must make arrangements so that no one can find you, or you must discuss it with the officials. The situation is really critical. Needless to say, the ministers must also think about the country and advise you to go south. I advise you.
Escape, what do you mean by running away secretly?
It's really a piece of mud that can't hold up the wall.
Now that you are playing this smart trick, the crisis that we could have worked together to overcome has been completely ruined by you.
The surging crowd approached the city gate. This time, there were not only ordinary people among them, but also many officials with their families. They were more ferocious than the common people.
Presumably at this time, the imperial government was also in chaos and no one was in charge of the stall.
What's even worse is that most of the imperial guards and soldiers guarding the capital are people from the capital, children of powerful people or native villagers. So when they see their family members running away, can they still stop them?
Ning Yan looked at the city gate and saw that many people were already approaching.
A group of soldiers and city gatekeepers scolded and blocked them, but their confidence was much weaker than last night, and one of them was grabbed by the approaching people.
"San'er, why are you trying to stop me? You don't care about your parents anymore? Your uncle took the opportunity to pack away all your family's dry food." The man shouted, "When they take the car away, you can carry it alone."
Are your parents running away?"
When the soldier heard this, his face turned pale, he dropped his spear and ran towards the city.
The blockade in front of the city gate has become looser. After all, everyone has family members and relatives they miss.
"Open the city gate quickly. If you don't run away, it will be too late."
"The emperor has already run away, why are you trying to stop him?"
There were more and more people, and the shouts and curses became louder and louder. The soldiers guarding the city gate retreated step by step. The wooden frame blocking the people in front of the city gate was pushed to the side by the incoming crowd. Watching the crowd,
To rush towards the city gate.
"No, you can't open the city gate." Ning Yan shouted loudly, waving to the people below the city, "The Jin people are approaching, and the city gate is wide open. If it cannot be closed in time, or the Jin people's spies sneak in, then the capital will be doomed."
But this time no one listened to him.
"Master Ning, the capital is over!"
"The emperor has run away!"
"You liars! You are trying to trick us into staying in the capital to attract money to the city!"
"Everyone, run!"
There were shouts and curses under the city gate.
"Open the city gate! Open the city gate!"
The clamor grew louder and louder, and seemed unstoppable.
The soldiers in front of the city gate retreated step by step and were about to collapse.
There was the rapid sound of horse hooves, accompanied by the loud sound of whips.
"Don't open the city gate!"
At the same time, a female voice shouted.
Ning Yan heard the shout immediately, and a fiery red figure appeared in his sight. Although he could not see his face clearly, his clenched hands somehow loosened.
Yes, there is still her in the city.
This shouting and obstruction made the people very angry.
"Who are you! You have no control!" Countless curses also sounded, rushing towards me.
But the visitors were not frightened by this.
"I am Jun Jiuling." Miss Jun reined in the crowd and looked at everyone, "Do you believe me?"
Jun Jiuling.
Miss Jun.
The people who were about to continue to curse subconsciously swallowed it back, and more people looked over.
Miss Jun did not dismount.
"I am Jun Jiuling." She said again, "You listen to me, don't leave the city, don't open the city gate, stay here."
"Miss Jun." Some people said with sad and angry expressions, "What can we do if we stay here? The emperor has run away, and the Jin people are coming in, and we are all going to die."
"You won't die." Miss Jun said without waiting for him to finish, "You won't die if you stay here. If the emperor runs away, the Jin people can't get in, and none of us will die."
There were many people in front of the city gate and the voices were noisy, but Miss Jun did not speak at the top of her lungs. Her voice was as soft and slow as ever, neither impatient nor impatient. When it reached the ears of the people around her, it felt inexplicably calm.
You won't die, and the Jin people won't come in. She said it so decisively, so sure.
The people looked at her and were a little stunned for a moment.
Where does she have the confidence to give everyone such a guarantee?
"I am Jun Jiuling, you believe me." Miss Jun looked at everyone and said, "What I say is never false."
She is Jun Jiuling, and what she says is never false.
She is Jun Jiuling, and what she says is never false.
She said that she could rejuvenate and cure incurable diseases, and Jiulingtang became famous in the capital.
She said that acne can be treated, and cures for such serious diseases as acne have been found.
As for the Jin people being unable to defeat them, she had personally fought against the Jin people. It was she who took back the people of the three northern counties from the hands of the Jin people who had negotiated peace and escorted them, and it was she who led the troops to the Jin people's land to capture the trapped Duke Cheng Guo.
rescued.
These achievements are not fake, they are not only announced by the court, but also passed down by word of mouth after being witnessed by the people.
It's Miss Jun.
It’s Jun Jiuling from Jiulingtang.
Miss Jun turned over and jumped off the horse.
"You believe me."
She looked at the crowd around her and moved forward step by step.
The people slowly backed away and got out of the way.
"I will defend the city."
Miss Jun passed through the people who were getting out of the way and walked towards the city gate.
"I won't let the Jin guys come in."
She walked towards the city gate and stood in front of the overturned wooden frame.
"I won't let you die, and none of us will die."
She stood in front of the city defenders who were holding spears and looking uneasy, and turned around to look at everyone.
"Please trust me."
At the same time, at the other three city gates, different people were passing through the crowd and loudly stopping them.
.............
............
In front of the South City Gate, Fang Jinxiu, who rushed in surrounded by a crowd of waiters, placed the plaque of Jiulingtang heavily in front of him and leaned on the ground.
"She said that she can definitely defend the city." She shouted loudly, pointing to the plaque, "You don't have to believe me, you believe her! She will take care of all the things!"
............
.....................
.In front of the west city gate, Chen Qi felt a little weak. The plaque was taken away by Fang Jinxiu. He had nothing to take, so he could only bite the bullet and show his own face.
"I, I am Chen Qi from Jiulingtang." He said, "You listen to me..."
Having said this, looking at the strange looks in the eyes of the people in front of him, he swallowed again and reached out to hold up a handful of porcelain bottles.
"Look, these are pills made by Miss Jiulingtang Jun herself. She said these pills will cure illnesses. Which of you who have taken them can tell you whether she really means what she says?" He said loudly.
The people in front of them shook their heads.
"I haven't eaten it." Someone replied loudly, "I can't afford it."
Chen Qi choked. Yes, Jiulingtang's medicine is worth thousands of gold. Not everyone can afford it.
"Then, then you..." He stammered a little.
"Is Miss Jun here?" The people in front of him had already interrupted him and asked.
Chen Qi nodded.
"Here, she has already gone to the east city gate." He said loudly.
There was a slight commotion among the people, which made Chen Qi a little nervous. If these people rushed over, his body would not be able to stop him, and he would be crushed immediately.
"Miss Jun said you can defend the city?"
But the people did not rush forward. Instead, they stood quietly, and questions rang out from the crowd.
Chen Qi clenched the porcelain bottle in his hand.
"Yes!" He nodded heavily.
"How can Miss Jun do this alone?" an old woman said while wiping away tears.
Chen Qi took a step forward and looked at the old woman.
"No, Miss Jun is not alone!" he shouted with bright eyes.
Miss Jun is not the only one? Who else?
........
In front of the North City Gate, Shopkeeper Liu reached out and placed a large flag heavily on the overturned wooden frame.
"There is also the Qingshan Army." He raised his hand and pointed at the fluttering flag. (To be continued)
