The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 232 232. Thorny Head

Shaan Yan saw his curiosity, so he explained, "This woman is the eldest granddaughter of Chen Lao from Ganzhou. She came out to welcome His Highness today on behalf of the Chen family."

The Chen family in Ganzhou is a famous family with a history of hundreds of years like the Feng family. The current patriarch is Chen Zifang, a famous Confucian scholar in the Jin Dynasty. Emperor Qi once ordered that all the learned scholars in the world should follow the Chen family as an example. , not only are all the children and grandchildren in the family promising, but they are also very loyal and courageous.

For example, the reason why the whole family is not at home today and only a girl is here is because they all went to Liangzhou to help!

As dusk falls, the entire city of Ganzhou is filled with a hazy mood, even a bit of a state of dissipation, but no one knows that in Liangzhou, which is less than a hundred miles away, people are now waiting for the opportunity.

 The army was stationed outside the city, and the Ninth Prince only brought 500 personal guards into the city.

The smell of powdered fat, wrapped in the aroma of wine and meat, floated throughout the street, making everyone feel distraught.

When he arrived at the Governor's Mansion, Xiao Muqian was already very disgusted with the Governor.

As a high-ranking official, he was fighting a fierce battle. He didn't think about how to protect the people and defend the city, but just wanted to flatter the prince here. This behavior alone can make people see that he is not a good person.

 No wonder his second uncle ordered him not to have close contact with officials in Ganzhou when he was still in Liangzhou. It seemed that his second uncle also looked down upon them.

From the front, Shaan Yan and other officials respectfully welcomed the Ninth Prince in, followed by the generals from the prince's party who were loyal to him. Only he and General Su didn't know which leg to take first!

 “Okay, the overall situation is more important.”

General Su patted him on the shoulder and entered the Governor's Mansion one step ahead of him.

They say they are the vanguard of the left and right, but in fact they are just the swords used by Emperor Qi to protect the Ninth Prince.

No matter how they dislike the behavior of the Ninth Prince, they still have to take responsibility for safety.

 General Su never angered the Ninth Prince along the way, so that when he dispatched troops and generals in the future, he would not delay the overall situation due to personal reasons, so they had to go to today's reception banquet no matter how reluctant they were.

After thinking about this, Xiao Muqian took a deep breath and walked in anyway.

As expected, there was plenty of food and wine, and there was great singing and dancing.

　　After finding an inconspicuous seat and sitting down, he looked at the table full of dishes with disgust in his eyes. The beautiful maid serving next to him wanted to come forward and pour him wine, but was frightened back a few steps by his eyes.

"General..." Who doesn't love the delicate voice, but Xiao Muqian is a "pimple", and what he usually dislikes the most is this rouge and vulgar powder.

Seeing that he was a little cold here, it was the Ninth Prince who was sitting here who spoke.

“What are you doing, cousin? I have to drink a few glasses of the wine specially prepared by the Governor.”

"Your Highness, please forgive me. The general never drinks alcohol when he is in the army. This rule has not been broken for more than ten years. Please don't blame me."

"Don't drink? Is it possible that someone from the army is deceiving this king by saying this?"

There was a bit of impatience in his words. Although he didn't have to drink the wine, he could not encourage such unhealthy tendencies by refuting him in front of so many people.

Hence, I wanted to suppress his arrogance, so I said it coldly.

"What if the King of Japan wants you to accompany me for two drinks today?" After saying this, he drank all the wine in his hand. The maid serving beside him immediately filled it up again and praised sweetly, "Your Highness has a good capacity for drinking! Please drink more." This cup!”

The Ninth Prince drank. If Xiao Muqian didn't drink, he would be disrespectful to His Highness. Wearing small shoes would be a common thing in the future.

But the rules cannot be broken, and the bones cannot be soft. Just when I was thinking about how to find an excuse to hide away, I heard someone coming in a hurry outside. "Report, the Beidi army suddenly marched southward. Now they are fighting fiercely with Liangzhou. General Xiao Ji sent someone to ask for support!"

 Second uncle!

The Beidi people had their calculations right. Just when they were resting and slacking off, they suddenly sent their troops southward, just to catch their second uncle off guard.

Immediately stood up and said to the Ninth Prince, "Your Highness, I will take the first step to lead people to rush for reinforcements. Please give me your permission!"

 At this moment, he was roasting the Ninth Prince on the fire.

The food and wine had just been served, and he was in high spirits. I didn't tell him to rest, but now he started fighting!

He placed the wine glass heavily on the table and snorted coldly, "Beidi people are indeed cunning. What's the situation in Liangzhou City now?"

“General Xiao Ji is leading the city defenders to resist. Before the villain came, the city had not been broken yet.”

After hearing this, the originally nervous officials and Governor Shaan Yan relaxed slightly and said, "It will take half a day from Liangzhou to Ganzhou at the fastest. With General Xiao Ji's ability, he can definitely resist it. Otherwise, His Highness will How about taking a rest here and letting Xiao Xianfeng go to help first?"

They were all drunk. If something happened during the march, something would happen.

 It seems that the safety of the Ninth Prince is more important than the destruction of Liangzhou City.

Xiao Muqian was heartbroken when he heard this. He also knew that these people were completely unreliable, so he asked for orders again.

"Your Highness, the military situation is urgent. I would like to ask Your Highness to allow me to lead the troops there first. Otherwise, if the city of Liangzhou is destroyed, how long can Ganzhou be able to withstand it?"

The Ninth Prince nodded. He was clearly drunk but did not want to admit it. He could only pretend to be indignant and said, "Xiao Xianfeng leads 50,000 men and goes one step ahead. His Highness will lead the Chinese army to come."

He will definitely come, but it’s hard to say how many days it will take.

Anyway, Xiao Ji has 50,000 horses, and Xiao Muqian also has 50,000 horses. The total number is more than 100,000. If Liangzhou City cannot be defended, then there is no need for the uncle and nephew to protect the family. Our country is over, so we might as well sacrifice our lives to serve our country.

With the soldiers and horses in hand, Xiao Muqian still had the thought to make excuses with them, so he got up and ran quickly towards the outside of the house, whipped his horse and ran out of the city.

　　The soldiers and horses were gathered together, and the mighty group rushed towards Liangzhou.

At this moment, outside Liangzhou City, there were corpses all over the ground. Blood, swords and crossbows were scattered everywhere. They all belonged to Beidi people.

The fierce siege of the city has been going on for almost a day, and it has become dark but the city has not been broken yet, which makes King Ke Ke of Beidi very angry.

At this moment, Luo Hong, the military advisor next to him, accused him, "Look what idea you gave me! Besieging the city and not attacking it will damage morale. Now that reinforcements from the Jin Dynasty are coming, you let me order the attack." The city has been destroyed in one day! How many soldiers have been killed or injured in Beidi? Look at the city of Liangzhou and it is still motionless. Bad luck!"

If the people around him hadn't stopped him, I'm afraid Luo Hong would have been chopped down by King Keda.

“Don’t worry, Your Majesty, what I’m waiting for is his reinforcements. If the reinforcements don’t come, I’m afraid this Liangzhou city will lose many of our warriors.”

Seeing that he was so sure, King Kodak's anger subsided a little.
