Chapter 301

The weather is getting colder and colder. The trees all over the city have taken off their old clothes. The capital, which should have been the most prosperous, is now extremely quiet. Almost all the people in the city are shutting their doors.

The fast horses that were in a hurry for a hundred miles entered the city one by one with the latest emergency report.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult to keep the people in the city from being in danger.

At this time, Zhou Rao's palace had just received the latest urgent report.

Zhongrong's iron cavalry was now without the hindrance of the Hua family's army, and they went all the way like a broken bamboo, hardly encountered any obstacles. They even broke through several cities in Zhourao, and the army came straight to Jiaping City.

Zhourao's terrain, except for a few border cities, the inland is almost not dangerous, and he lacks basic drills on weekdays. How can he withstand the wind and rain, and the soldiers of the Zhongrong who came fighting all the way with vigorous fighting spirit.

After listening to the report word by word, Jiang Xingyun felt as if he was being choked by the throat. He pulled his collar, looked at a group of civil servants standing in front of the case, his face was heavy, "All the people from the faction have been sent out, But now there is no effect at all, the enemy is almost under my nose, is this your idea?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to stand up at this moment.

After a while, someone stood up and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, this matter is all due to the defeat of the Hua family army..."

"Enough!" Jiang Xingyun slapped the table with his palm, and looked down impatiently, "Is this the first day you know about this? Apart from the Hua family, there is no one in Zhou Rao?"

It became quieter in an instant, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

It's not that there are no generals except for the Hua family, it's just that all those who can lead the army have been sent out, but if one kills one, two hangs a pair, the rest are either frightened or old. , less and less.

The army was defeated like a mountain, and everyone in the court was panicked, and no one dared to go up and act as a barrier.

"Talk? In the past, when they were competing to attack military officers, they were all eloquent, but now they are all dumb?"

In the midst of Jiang Xingyun's fury, someone finally spoke tremblingly, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, it is better to quickly transfer General Hua to the position. General Hua has fought against the opponent many times, and he will definitely be able to turn the tide."

It's Hua Yichao again.

Jiang Xingyun became short of breath.

It's not that he has never issued an order. When he realized something was wrong, he immediately issued an urgent order. The Hua family used the excuse of not accepting the order of the foreign king, and did things in their own way, and their whereabouts were also erratic. Unexpectedly, he turned around and solved two rebellious traitors, but let a bigger trouble go.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Xingyun summoned the eunuch beside him, "Go, invite the people from the Jiangyin Hou's Mansion and the Ministry of Industry's Shangshuhe Mansion into the palace, and those collaterals, let the guards guard them .”

Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is Huarong's father.

The person who was sent to work quickly turned back.

"Everything is done, Your Majesty, but... the old lady of the Jiangyin Marquis Mansion went out to seek medical treatment in the city this morning. When the slave just brought her there, the Marquis Mansion was already half empty."

Jiang Xingyun frowned, "Why didn't anyone come to report such a big matter in the morning?"

Although he withdrew the guards from the Jiangyin Marquis Mansion, he has been sending people outside to observe the movement. He didn't know about such a big matter until he was on fire?
"This... Your Majesty said that the affairs of the Jiangyin Marquis Mansion should be satisfied as much as possible. The situation was critical at that time. It was said that the old lady was in urgent need of a medicine. She was afraid that it would be too late to send someone back to fetch it, so the guards did not dare to stop her. Later, His Majesty has been discussing matters in the study. , the subordinates dare not disturb His Majesty with these trivial matters..."

"Is this a trivial matter?" Jiang Xingyun almost didn't come up in one breath.

The eunuch shrank his shoulders and replied in a low voice, "The servant has already sent people outside the city to find someone..."

"Go find it now, the day lily is cold!"

Except for Hua Ru, the old lady held the Hua family's best bargaining chip, but now she disappeared.

"Your Majesty calm down, then this matter..."

"Forget it." Jiang Xingyun clenched his fists tightly, "Come here, draw up an order."

For the current plan, he can only give half reward and half threat to the Hua family.

……

It's not unreasonable for Zhong Liting to fight fast.

The Nanfeng Pavilion is well informed, and he probably knew the news that Ruhuahua was trapped in the palace before Hua Yixi.

It wasn't supposed to be that fast, but this incident was like pouring oil on the fire.Stimulated by this incident, Zhong Liting even increased his marching speed by more than a little bit.

Step by step, it approached the capital of Zhou Rao.

Seeing victory is in sight.

And at this critical moment, the Hua family finally accepted the order.

No one knew where the Hua family's army suddenly appeared, but they were like divine soldiers descending from the sky, blocking Zhong Rong's advance with lightning speed.

After entering Zhourao's hinterland, Zhongrong's army stagnated for the first time.

After the First World War, the two armies met privately at night while they were breathing their breaths.

The location is about a dilapidated ruined temple in the wilderness, near the solitary tomb, few people come, but at this time it is illuminated like daytime.

The old and dilapidated wooden door was pushed open from the outside.

In the next moment, Hua Yizhao, who was dressed lazily in brocade and red robes, and Hua Yixi, who was dressed neatly in riding attire, entered the temple.

The original old dilapidated temple has been cleaned up, and even simple tables, chairs and tea cups have been placed.

Hearing the sound, the two people who were sitting there talking something fell silent, raised their heads slightly, and one of them stood up first.

He was wearing a black light armor. He didn't wear a sword around his waist, nor did he wear a helmet. He had long ink-like hair and a high bun. He had a handsome face, and his peach blossom eyes were somewhat serious.

The other person was also wearing light armor, and when he stood up, he moved a little too hard, as if he had bumped into a table leg, and his handsome eyebrows were slightly distorted.

Zhong Liting looked back at him.

Wei Ling scratched his head in embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "This broken table is too short..."

While speaking, the other two people had already caught their eyes.

Wei Ling withdrew his hands suddenly, and his body was much straighter than before.

His gaze fell on the tall figure, with a somewhat ambiguous expression on his face, "I haven't seen you in a few months, and General Hua's demeanor remains the same as before."

When he said this, his eyes were on Hua Yixi.

When Hua Yichao was seriously injured and returned to the city, Zhong Liting followed behind, and the rest of them often fought head-to-head on the battlefield.

You plot against me, I plot against you, but only the two parties know the specific details.

Seeing him, Hua Yixi didn't know what to think of, she pulled out the dagger at her waist, took a quick step, and attacked in the direction of Wei Ling.

Wei Ling stepped back again and again, backing up and yelling, "Hey, hey, man, he promises everything. He promised a peaceful meeting earlier. How can he bring weapons with him?"

Hua Yixi sneered, "I'm not a man in the first place."

Wei Ling, "..." There's really nothing wrong with it.

Wei Ling hurriedly hid behind Zhong Liting, "Look! They came with weapons, and they have no sincerity at all!"

The one who flirts first deserves it, Zhong Liting didn't want to care about it, so he took a step and handed him over directly.
