The cities in Huainan Road are closed and the prosperity of the past is nowhere to be seen.
Most of the Chu troops here were mobilized to support the female marquis, and the rest were ordered to retreat to the city, so when they saw the white-robed troops galloping, there were no soldiers or horses to stop them.
Fortunately, these white-robed troops did not stay, nor did they burn, kill or attack the city. They just crossed the border and left.
Listening to the constant reports, Chang Shi stood at the top of the city and clasped his hands: "Are you going to support Madam?"
Observer Song sighed: "That person's surname is Xiang!"
Chang Shi sighed, he also knew that person's name, but... "Madam treats him so well, if he has some affection..."
"You really have had a good life too long." Observer Song scolded, "What good things are you thinking about? This world is full of monsters, there are no people, and there is no friendship!"
His face turned red with anger, and he wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.
"I, I can't wait to get my sword on the horse..."
Chang Shi and other officials hurriedly grabbed him and said, "My lord, Madam has an order for you to guard the city." "My lord, guard the city and protect Yangzhou City. You just have to mount your horse and kill the thieves with your sword."
Of course Observer Song knew this truth. He patted the city wall angrily and sadly, "I just want my wife to be safe."
Chang Shi was aggrieved on the sidelines. He hoped that Xiang Nan could have some affection for his wife, and he also wanted her to be safe. This is not a dead end, there is no other way...
The war was urgent and white-robed soldiers were galloping on the road day and night, but Chen Er still stopped Xiang Nan.
"This is the wrong direction!" he asked, "Where are you going?"
Xiang Nan didn't stop and just moved forward: "Of course we are going to the most dangerous place."
Chen Er sneered: "Then you want to save the Marquis? Are you crazy?"
The most dangerous situation now is of course the female marquis. The three forces have joined forces and are besieging her with thousands of troops. She only has the Chu army, and her husband who is far away in Mobei is out of reach.
Xiang Nan looked at him: "That's wrong, the Queen is not the most dangerous. The people who are in the most danger are Anton and my family."
The besieged Marquis is close to Anton, and Anton is where the Xiang clan lives, so it is indeed very dangerous.
He was thinking about his family. Chen Er looked calm. Although he was lukewarm towards his family on a daily basis, they were family after all.
"Don't worry, Governor Xiang said that after the Queen's crime was pronounced, Anton City will be safe." He reassured, "There are troops from three parties over there, and the Queen has too much to take care of herself."
Xiang Nan shook his head: "You don't understand, you don't understand."
Governor Xiang said, "You can't believe what Governor Xiang said. His uncle doesn't care about his family members."
"I don't quite understand this." Chen Er shouted, "But there is Miss Qi in Andong City with seven thousand soldiers and horses on the southeast route. Relying on the city, it will not be easily broken."
Xiang Nan smiled coldly against the cold wind: "To be honest, except for the words of the Queen, I don't believe anyone else in this world!"
What's the point of this! Chen Er's head was blown by the wind, and he looked at Xiang Nan and ran forward.
In short, Xiang Yun suddenly announced that if he beat the female marquis, the Xiang family is in danger, and Qi Acheng is in the Xiang family, so the Xiang family is also in danger.
The most dangerous person at this moment is the Xiang family!
Xiang Nan said nothing and used all his strength to run wildly.
...
...
The battle between San Wei Dao and the Queen has plunged the world into chaos. People are watching, preparing, and on guard. There are soldiers and horses running everywhere.
A group of soldiers and horses galloped past, raising layers of dust on the road. The people sitting in the tea shed did not bother to cover their noses and look around.
"....Where are the soldiers and horses?"
"...I can't tell..."
After looking around, they sat back in the tea shed and continued to discuss. Although it was still far away from the war, and the guards and horses here had not yet been involved, there were no lively crowds on the road. Only businessmen like them were running around...
..No matter how messy you are, you still have to do business. You have to do business when the rebels are in the army, and you have to do it when the guards are at war.
"It's better." A businessman said, holding up a tea bowl, "The guards don't kill people randomly."
"We don't kill people indiscriminately, but we will arrest people indiscriminately." Another businessman shook his head, "Once a fight breaks out, we will arrest people. Even if you and I are rich, we can't hide."
"Don't worry, there will be no chaos." Another businessman said loudly, "The queen is already dying. She is besieged by three parties and cannot escape. She might be executed by now."
If the female marquis is executed, and the three parties' defenses are on the side of the Qing emperor, then the world will naturally be at peace.
Just after the man finished speaking, there was a clanging sound in the tea shed, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground. The people around him heard the sound and looked around, startled, and saw a knife with a cold light...
A rough hand picked up the knife, slapped it heavily on the table, then used this hand to pick up the tea bowl and took a sip, and everyone's eyes fell on this man's face.
This is a thin man, dressed simply, and even a little poor.
But everyone just glanced at it and quickly avoided it. The traveling businessmen knew that he was a knight-errant.
In this chaotic time, apart from businessmen, only these rangers dare to show off everywhere.
But there are a lot of rangers here...
Everyone looked over again, and saw that in addition to a knife, there were several swords on the table, and it was filled with five people. Although they looked different in appearance, age, and clothing, they could all be recognized as rangers at a glance.
Rangers usually live alone and rarely form groups...then they become bandits.
Everyone hurriedly looked away. The ranger couldn't look more. A few more glances might cause a dispute.
"Is the news accurate?" "The Marquis has many troops." "I think the Marquis will not be defeated."
Everyone was busy continuing the previous topic, but they didn't know whether it was interrupted by the falling knife or because of a moment of silence, the topic lost momentum.
"It was the Empress who brought peace to the world, and now she is said to be a sinner?" The old woman making tea took up the topic.
The merchants were silent for a moment. They didn't want to believe that the queen had committed regicide...
"That was identified by Han Xu." A businessman said, "The late emperor was killed in Songzhou. Han Xu led the late emperor to Songzhou. He arranged everything there. He has already admitted it, saying that he was seduced by the queen.
.... Everyone knows about Han Xu and the Marquis, right?"
Someone wanted to respond, but the old woman who made the tea put a pot of tea heavily on the table and interrupted.
"Han Xu? Can you believe Han Xu's words?" She sneered, "Man! When we are good, we are deeply in love, but if something goes wrong, we will accuse a woman of seducing. How shameless!"
The men sitting in the tea shed were all scolded, and it was difficult to continue this topic, some laughing and some chattering.
The rangers also stood up at this time, threw down a handful of money and walked out of the tea shed, but they did not leave immediately, but stood under the big tree on the roadside and looked around.
"Liang Gu, are you sure Xiang Ling will come?" a knight-errant asked.
The ranger who was called by name nodded: "Wang Qi said he met him and told us where we would meet. He will definitely come."
The other two people said: "He was favored by Madam back then, and it was he who asked us to go everywhere to fight for glory for Madam. Now when Madam is in trouble, he will not fail to come."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a horse carrying a handsome man galloping towards him on the road. He was only wearing a brocade robe in the cold early winter wind, and he was carrying a sword on his back. The gems on the sword were shining in his ears.
Bright......
We haven’t seen each other for a long time. We recognized her face even though we didn’t see her face. Several people hurriedly waved and shouted to Xiang Ling.
Xiang Qiubeard reined in his horse and frowned: "Call me Xiangqiubeard."
A few people ignored this trivial matter and just said: "Since we are here, let's go together."
Xiang Qiu beard shook his head arrogantly: "I still have something to do, so I'll take the first step."
Several people were surprised: "Madam is in trouble! This is a big deal!"
Xiang Qiubeard said: "I have bigger things to do." After saying that, he ignored the few people and galloped away, raising a layer of smoke.
Several people stood there in shock, and then became angry again.
"Child!"
"This guy is heartless and unjust!"
"Look at the direction he is going, he must be heading towards where Thief Qi and Thief Xiang are, looking for new achievements!"
Several people shouted angrily but to no avail, and Xiang Qiubeard quickly disappeared from sight.
"That's all." A man led the thin horse from under the tree, "Everyone has his own ambitions, let's not care about them, let's just follow our own hearts."
"Madam appreciates the kindness, and now it's time for me to repay the favor."
Others also led the horses and tied their swords behind their backs. The five men and the thin horses looked forward and without hesitation rushed towards the melee like a mountain of swords and a sea of fire.
And the soldiers and horses coming out of the melee kept running towards the capital, bringing news after news, and disrupted the court.
Everyone gathered in front of the harem gate to beg to see the Queen Mother. They cried and shouted day and night, breaking through the deep palace walls and thick doors and windows.
The entourage dug his ears and looked at Wei Wei who was standing in front of the bookshelf.
"I just said you shouldn't be so cruel to people." He said, "Look, as soon as the queen lost power, these eunuchs gathered together and arrested you. As long as you treat people better, cry and beg,
You can take it easy."
He said, "What's the use of crying and begging for relief?"
The attendant said: "Find an opportunity to run out."
Wei Wei said with a smile: "Madam asked me to guard the Queen Mother and didn't let me leave. How could I leave."
The attendant shook his head: "After entering the palace, why are you no longer smart at all?"
"I was never a smart person." Weijue took a whisk and lightly swept the books on the bookshelf, "Now that I have a wife, I can be myself again."
The attendant impatiently asked him: "What do you think the Queen Mother will do this time?"
Wei said: "She can do whatever she wants. Can others force her?"
.....
.....
"Queen Mother! The most critical time has come. Please save Daxia!"
The court officials kept crying, and the harem was in a panic. The concubines and eunuchs were crying, and everyone was at a loss.
There was only one queen mother in the entire dynasty who could make the final decision.
When the little emperor also knelt down in front of the Queen Mother's palace door, the Queen Mother's closed palace door opened.
She carried the little emperor to the court officials and asked, "Are you going to force us orphans and widowed mothers to death?"
An official with an empty arm stepped forward and asked: "Queen Mother, do you want to leave Daxia alone?"
The Queen Mother trembled: "Why do you say this! I will obey the late emperor's order..."
Another official stepped forward: "Queen Mother, please tell everyone the truth about the murder of the late Emperor Cui Zheng and the third prince!"
The Queen Mother took a step back with the little emperor in her arms, looking horrified.
The two officials Wu and Zheng took a step forward together and knelt down in grief and anger: "Queen Mother, you are a survivor. Only you know the truth, so tell the truth!"
The officials cried out in unison.
The cries were like a wave surrounding the Queen Mother, and she was like a boat in the ocean. Finally, her body collapsed and she knelt down on the ground, hugging the little emperor tightly and crying: "My lords, how dare I say anything? Who can protect us orphans and widows?"
mother."
As she cried, the two adults, Wu and Zheng, jumped up, stretched out their hands and shouted to the sky.
"The queen conspired to commit regicide and steal the country. We will kill her!"
The officials also stood up and shouted in grief and indignation.
"The queen has stolen the country and must be killed!"
The voice circled and rose in front of the palace gate.
In a large wilderness under the early winter sky, the ground trembled, flags surged like sea water, and countless soldiers and horses ran wildly, shocking people's hearts to the point of bursting.
"The queen confessed her crime and was executed!"
"The queen pleads guilty and is executed!"
.....
...
The shouts passed over trenches, high walls of earth and rocks, dense military formations, and arrived at a large flag.
A huge flagpole carried a blood-red flag, with the three characters "First Marquis" in thick black and dazzling colors.
Under the flag is an observation car. There are only two people in the car. One person is holding a black umbrella and standing at attention. Under the umbrella, the other person is wrapped in a black robe and sitting leaning on it. The hood covers his face and lowers his head. Under the black robe, sleeves stacked like snow are exposed, and the sleeves are white.
On the wrist, the snow-white hand holds a document.
"He came so quickly." Li Minglou said, "Qi Shan Xiang Yun really deserves his reputation."
