Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

Lu Anyuan raised his head with difficulty, covered his chest with both hands, and took several breaths before he recovered: "No, it's okay, ma'am, your armor is so strong!" My goodness, he almost killed himself, this armor is really of first-class quality!

If there are capable people, or even the Creator, who could turn back time to the point where Ying Jiu blocked the way, we would be able to see an equally thrilling experience that was different from what happened in the outer palace.

"Yingjiu, explain it clearly, what is a large army?" What a joke. When the emperor travels, Gushan has been under martial law for a long time. Where does the "large army" come from?

"About 10,000 people have surrounded Gushan from below, with countless feather arrows and bows and crossbows, and it looks like they are going to storm it."

"Huh?" Xu Yixing and Ying Wu looked at each other. What was going on? "Then I want to go up the mountain now, is that ok?"

"No. If you go down the mountain now, I can wait until dark to take you away. Going up the mountain is suicide."

Xu Yixing took a deep breath. Sure enough, her prediction came true. There was a big change today! She closed her eyes and thought for a while. Tens of thousands of people could drive directly to the foot of Gushan Mountain without alerting any forces. This could only mean one thing: they were soldiers from the capital!

But there are also many soldiers in the capital, including the Imperial Guards, the Jinwu Guards, the Jingzhao Prefecture Soldiers, and the Longwu Guards and the Weiwei Army who just returned. Which side are they on?

It's unlikely to be the Imperial Guards. The Imperial Guards and Uncle Bai's jurisdiction are of the same origin. If there is a transfer, he will know it. The remaining four... Dragon Guards? Dragon Guards just came back from Southern Xinjiang not long ago. Could it be that they were bewitched by the Second Prince there?

Although it was hasty, Xu Yixing was indeed the first person to guess the identity of the rebels in this incident.

"Hiss! Let's go back to Shen Yue!"

When Shen Yue saw Xu Yixing again half a day later and heard what she said, he felt that she was sick and confused.

When Xu Yixing saw Shen Yue’s confused look, he knew that he didn’t believe it.

"Sir Shen! This is a matter of national justice! Why am I joking with you at this time!" She was so anxious that she wanted to slam the table. The reason she came back to find Shen Yue was that she hoped he could help her.

"If it is true as you said, that it was His Majesty's favorite son, the Second Prince, who instigated His Majesty's most trusted imperial army, the Dragon Guard, to rebel?" Shen Yue had a sneer on his face. This was too unbelievable.

"If you don't believe me, you can go down the mountain and take a look, but I guess you'll be shot to death as soon as you show your head."

Faced with Xu Yixing's anxious and angry gaze and tone, Shen Yue finally became skeptical and began to think seriously.

"If that's the case, then if we mobilize troops to defend the king now, only the Weiwei Army can contend with it. But without the military token, how can we do it?"

"I can't do anything about this. I only have Lu Anyuan's palace order here. If it can barely be considered a token of trust..." Xu Yixing turned his gaze to Shen Yue, the implication of his words was self-evident.

"Shen is willing to go to the Weiwei Camp and give it a try."

Good! This has finally achieved the effect he wanted. Xu Yixing knew that if he went to the Weiwei camp with Lu Anyuan's order, he might be able to explain it, but given his status, General Liu would never obey the order of a prince's relative to mobilize troops.

But given Shen Yue's prestige, it might be worth a try.

Xu Yixing immediately stood up, took out the small token from his waist, and handed it to Shen Yue with both hands.

"Sir, thank you for your help! I will have my trusted confidant escort you down the mountain to the military camp. Everything will depend on whether you can convince General Liu."

Shen Yue accepted it, stood up and straightened his robes, and reminded Xu Yixing by the way: "In fact, moving troops to the king's aid is not the main point. The main point is not to let the capital be lost. If the emperor is really trapped in Gushan, the capital should have received the news by tomorrow at the latest. If someone has already taken the lead and forged a summons to bring troops into the capital before then, it will be troublesome."

What he said was exactly the same as Lu Anyuan and Lu Hexin. The key point lies in the City Defense Department.

"Thank you for your reminder, sir." Xu Yixing pulled Ying Wu aside and told him to go to the city to find his uncle and explain the situation. He also asked Ying Jiu to escort Shen Yue down the mountain. In any case, even if Shen Yue couldn't persuade Liu Buyi, he couldn't let him be trapped there. He had to bring him back alive.

All the people in the thatched cottage left, leaving only Xu Yixing. At this moment, she regretted very much why she only brought two shadow guards with her on weekdays. If all nine of them were with her, they would go to the various government offices in Beijing at this time, and there would always be someone who could rush over to help, right?

She smiled bitterly, put the bit on the horse and hid it, then quietly climbed up the tree closest to the official road, her eyes bright as she paid attention to the movements up and down the mountain.

Thirty thousand people is really a lot! This was her first impression. This Gushan Mountain Road was the flattest and widest road. How come with so many people occupying it, it seemed like there was no space at all?

She saw that in the first half of the night, the offensives of both sides were fairly evenly matched, with rockets whizzing in both directions, and some sporadic small arrows even flew to where she was, but fortunately they no longer had any killing power.

Biting a branch in her mouth, she forced herself to keep quiet and concentrate, and not be careless.

In the second half of the night, the offensive suddenly slowed down. The rebels here were scattered and seemed to have no intention of fighting. What was going on? Such a good opportunity for war, as long as they attacked with all their might, the battle would be over tomorrow morning! Either the Dragon Guards were incompetent, or they had internal disagreements.

Of course Xu Yixing prefers the latter.

When the sky gradually turned blue, Xu Yixing did not dare to stay on the tree. He quietly got down from the tree and walked to the denser part of the forest. There, he ran into the mighty vanguard who came to investigate and was almost killed by the scout. Thanks to Lord Shen's timely voice and Ying Jiu's appearance, he was able to prove his identity and escape.

"Lord Shen! You really managed to persuade General Liu!" Xu Yixing was extremely excited because she saw that this scout team of only ten people was led by none other than General Liu Buyi. Shen Yue was really a capable person!

"Greetings, Your Highness. Are His Majesty and all the officials really trapped on the mountain?" Liu Buyi spoke quickly and without any nonsense. He came here quietly to investigate, not to chat.

"Yes, I watched it in the first half of the night. The offensive was very strong, but for some reason it stopped in the second half of the night. Maybe they had problems internally."

"Okay!" Liu Buyi patted his thigh. This was a great opportunity!

Liu Buyi changed the formation, and it was obvious that some people had left the team and were transferred back. As for Xu Yixing, he could rest assured and just wait for daybreak to go up the mountain!

But before dawn, she saw her uncle in the rescue team. Without saying a word, Bai Yu threw a set of bags from his horse to her, and quickly commanded the assault team to prepare for a sneak attack.
