The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 472 Her Difficulties
It is not easy for her to guard the huge Chang'an, with a wolf in front of her and a tiger behind her.

Tantai Lin didn't want to spend any more time. The Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching. This was their first festival after getting married. He had to rush back to celebrate the festival with her.

Chen Zhongyu continued: "The prince asked people to search for the Jing family, but our people arrived a step too late. The Jing family has been expelled from the customs by the princess."

The corners of Tantai Lin's mouth raised slightly: "It should have been like this a long time ago!"

Outside the pass, the Jing family wanted to cry but had no tears.

"When I returned to Chang'an, I should have lived a peaceful life, but I wanted to ask that dead girl for money. Now it's good. The money is gone. Now it's not the same this time. I can't leave. What should I do?"

Uncle Jing held back his complaints. His butt was almost broken. Now that the weather was hot, the wound began to fester, and it hurt so much every step of the way.

Sun couldn't say anything, but she hated Jingli in her heart. This damn girl was so rich and noble, even though her fingers were exposed, she fed and drank for their family, but she was not even willing to give out such a small amount of charity.

The whole family had nothing and were thrown out of the customs. They are now in even worse embarrassment than when they first fled.

Mrs. Jing scolded: "Who are you complaining to? When the man surnamed An said it, weren't you all very happy?"

"Is it my idea to conspire with that person named An?"

Jing Song couldn't help roaring: "You're not tired enough, are you? It's already this time. If you don't think about how to settle down, what's the use of complaining to each other here?"

As soon as Jing Song spoke, Uncle Jing's anger surged: "It's all because of you. If you hadn't known that your sister-in-law was pregnant and couldn't walk, but refused to help, would your elder brother have treated us like this? ?”

Jing Song retorted: "Why bother talking about me? We clearly had money at that time, but who would be reluctant to use it?"

Mrs. Jing jumped to her feet: "You heartless bastard, if I hadn't saved a little money, you would have eaten and drank whatever you wanted after arriving in Shu!"

When the family was having a lot of trouble, they suddenly felt that something was not right ahead.

"Dad, look!" Jing Xiang pointed in the distance in panic.

Dust was flying in the distance, followed by the rumble of horse hooves.

"Hurry, bandits are coming!" Everyone in the Jing family hurriedly tried to hide, but the cavalry had already arrived.

They were not bandits, but they were Nanyang Chenliu's army, which was more ferocious than the bandits. There were constant screams for a while, and the refugees fled in all directions.

"Your Majesty, King Chenliu's army is approaching the pass, and I'm afraid they will launch an attack in the next three to five days!" Geng Qi came to report in a hurry.

Jing Li stood up and said, "Invite people from all the yamen to come and discuss!"

Geng Qi continued: "The news came from Suming Tower that the Jing family died under the iron cavalry of the Nanyang Army!"

Jing Li was startled and then said: "If they were willing to be more calm, why would they end up in this situation!"

Jing Li summoned everyone and said, "Chen Liu's army will attack the pass in the near future. I believe everyone has received the news!"

"The terrain at the pass is dangerous and it is not easy to conquer. The most important thing at the moment is to prevent the White Lotus Army from taking this opportunity to sneak attack from behind in the Longxi area."

"Therefore, the Baidu area that has just been consolidated cannot be relaxed."

At that moment, someone said: "My Lady, you might as well go with the prince to report urgently, and let the prince lead troops to come back for reinforcements."

Jing Li immediately said in a cold voice: "I'll say it again, within my own ability, I must not allow the prince to be distracted."

"Now that the recapture of the Northland is just around the corner, there is not much power left in the Jie clan. It is absolutely impossible to abandon the good situation and turn around to support Chang'an at this time!"

Bai Changhe said: "The princess is right. Tongguan is a natural danger. How can it be so easy to conquer?"

"What's more, Chen Liu's army came from Nanyang. It must have been a long journey and its morale was greatly reduced. If it cannot capture Xiongguan in a short time, it will definitely affect its morale."

Jing Li nodded: "General Bai is absolutely right!"

"General Bai stationed at the pass to resist Chen Liu's army, General Zhu went to Baidu to watch the Bailian army in Longxi."

"Sir, stay in the city, and General Bai and I will guard the pass!" After Jingli arranged everything, he ordered people back to Jingjia Village to inform Huang Biao and others to pay attention to the movements in the grassland.

When the fighting was fierce, the Liao people took the opportunity to cause chaos and destroyed the rear position.

Jingli integrated the army and had not yet set out for the pass.

Su and Mr. Jing came over first.

"Grandpa, Grandma, it seems that things are not peaceful right now. What are you doing here at this time?"

Mr. Jing said anxiously: "Li, you are very busy, so we won't delay you!"

"We have nothing else to do here. We just want to see if there is going to be a war in the city. Do we have enough food and money?"

“The autumn harvest is coming soon at home, so we don’t have to worry about food and drink, and we don’t lack anything!”

"If you don't have enough money and food, I'll just send it to you!"

Mrs. Su took out the banknote in her hand: "I didn't ask the old man to bring the money at home. I saved it myself. You can take it first. We are not outsiders. You don't have to give it to me later!"

Jing Li was moved and pushed the banknote back to Su: "No, if it's really missing, I'll ask you for it!"

"Right now, Chang'an City has sufficient food reserves in all aspects. You don't have to worry about this!"

Jingli was about to leave for the outside world, so naturally he couldn't leave Su and the others in the palace, so he ordered someone to send them back to Laobei Mountain.

Before leaving, Mr. Jing was still saying: "Son, you have to be careful. If something goes wrong, go home. We are separated by mountains and rivers, so it is not easy to fight from outside!"

"Okay, if I can't beat him, I'll hide back early!" Jingli comforted the old man.

Su said with red eyes: "Swords have no eyes on the battlefield. Don't just go up and fight like you did before!"

"I know, mother, don't worry and go back!"

Jing Li stood at the city gate, watching Su and others disappear into the distance.

Then with a sigh, Geng Qi and others rode straight towards the pass.

At the pass, Bai Changhe was taking Dalang to inspect the city wall fortifications, accompanied by Jing Ye and Xiao Zhan.

"Since the terrain here is low, the enemy is very likely to use ladders to attack the city. Everyone should guard their posts. Don't panic when you get anxious!"

Jingli went up to the city wall at the pass and saw that all arrangements had been made. She looked at a few boys and listened carefully to Bai Changhe's explanation, feeling quite comforted.

Looking below the pass, we can vaguely see enemy troops encamped, and patrols everywhere are in order.

"Have all the refugees at the pass been properly resettled?"

Dalang replied: "It has been arranged for a long time. Because Chen Liu's army attacked, there were no refugees coming seven days ago, so we didn't panic too much and let the fine work in."

Jing Li nodded, thinking that Chen Liu's army must have been fighting all the way to prevent these refugees from coming back to the pass, which somewhat reduced the burden on the pass.

"How many people are there in the enemy army? Have you found out clearly?"

Dalang said confidently: "The enemy troops arrived yesterday. Based on the camp and formation conditions, Aye and I roughly estimate that there are 5 people."

"I just reported to General Bai and he also calculated the same thing!"

"Very good! Cheer up and prepare to face the enemy!"

Jingli looked into the distance: "They have come from afar. There is no guarantee that there will be any movement tonight. Don't underestimate the enemy!"
