After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Upon learning that the prince was to march north to defend the country, Lu Linzhi rushed to the military camp first.

Seeing that everyone was busy counting the troops, he rushed into Lu Chen's barracks in a hurry, dismissed the lieutenant generals, and asked in a cold voice: "The emperor is stupid and cold-hearted. He would rather cause chaos in the world than to eliminate the Lu family first. Is the prince really going to be loyal to the end?"

"presumptuous."

Lu Chen came back to his senses and glared at him, but his endless anger gradually dissipated when his eyes met his: "In your eyes, am I just a loyal fool?"

"if not."

Lu Linzhi lowered his eyes and said: "Since you know that the emperor has evil intentions, you still go there happily. What else can you say but blind loyalty?"

"Then what do you think I can do?"

Lu Chen said, "Do you want me to disobey the emperor's order, kill Emperor Hui, and wait for the armies to attack Jiangzuo with justification? Or do you want the descendants of the Lu family to bear the eternal infamy?"

"In that case, let me, your nephew, go north on behalf of the prince," Lu Linzhi said angrily.

"How can a mere official like you stir up such waves?" Lu Chen closed his eyes sadly.

He knew that he had the courage and determination, but how could he bear to watch this child die for him.

"Linzhi, I have lived a life worthy of heaven and earth, except for you and the princess."

Lu Chen placed his large palm heavily on his shoulder and said in a deep voice, "You must live well."

"The prince is joking."

Lu Linzhi said calmly, "Your Highness and Princess have never let me down. Your Highness and brother have been working hard for the Lu family and the Liyang Palace. I am very satisfied that I can live the life I want."

The more nonchalantly he spoke, the more sad Lu Chen felt.

"Linzhi, you have always been a good child. In the future, you must assist your brother and sister-in-law and ensure that the Lu family continues to prosper."

After giving a warning, he put on his helmet and quickly left the tent.

Lu Linzhi sighed helplessly, and after he walked out, he saw Lu Chen already mounted his warhorse and led the vanguard troops to break camp and set off.

Lu Linfeng, carrying his sword, walked over lazily. When he saw the fourth brother, he shook his head speechlessly: "Our prince is just like this. No one can persuade him."

Just as the words fell, a calm female voice sounded: "If you can't persuade him, then there is no need to persuade him anymore."

When the two brothers heard the sound, they looked and saw Fu Guiyun leading a group of people hurriedly coming over.

The few of them greeted each other, and Fu Guiyun gestured to the two brothers to go to the big tent together.

Knowing that Lu Linfeng was about to go with them, she did not dare to delay and said bluntly: "The current situation is serious. Neither the prince nor the Lu family army can make any more unnecessary sacrifices."

Looking at them with burning eyes, Fu Guiyun said calmly: "The emperor's evil intentions are known to everyone, so why should Your Majesty get involved? Big brother must protect Your Majesty's safety this time and ensure that Your Majesty is safe."

Lu Linfeng sighed softly, "Sister-in-law, you have seen it too. The prince is determined to die. He has already set out with the advance troops and ordered me to lead the main force to cover their retreat. Isn't it obvious that he wants to sacrifice himself for justice?"

"This time, Concubine Xian has also taken the initiative to request to go north, and with them are the Marquis of Changping and his wife. When we are on the way, my brother can persuade the prince to protect Concubine Xian and order him to cover the rear."

Fu Guiyun said: "Besides, the princess is still ill, and they have a deep love for each other. You can also persuade the prince more."

"Ms. Cui is going north too?"

Lu Linfeng's eyes lit up: "This is easy to handle."

He laughed faintly, "Sister-in-law, Fourth Brother, you can put your minds at ease. Even if Miss Cui cannot become a virtuous concubine, she is still related to the peace and harmony of the entire Jiangzuo. Your Majesty dare not underestimate her. When the time comes, I will have a way to slow down the army's advance and let Your Majesty lead the army to cover the rear."

Lu Linzhi also said: "Brother, just do your best to hold back the imperial army. I will lead the Liren Gang to launch a surprise attack on Jiurong and Dongyi King City and force the two kings to return for assistance."

"A surprise attack on Jiurong and Dongyi?"

Lu Linfeng frowned tightly, "Old Four, this is not going to be easy. Not to mention that it is very difficult to bypass the heavily guarded border troops, even if you really attract the second king to come back for help, how are you going to evacuate?"

Lu Linzhi looked at the two of them and smiled calmly: "Don't worry, I will come back safe and sound."

Knowing that he was trying to comfort everyone, Fu Guiyun could only show his complete belief.

"I believe in Lu Changshi, and the prince has ordered Princess Hexi to return to defend Liyang City."

Fu Guiyun said, "Brother and Lu Changshi, just go ahead and wait for the princess to return to the city. I will have her lead the troops to help you two."

"This is not okay."

Lu Linfeng frowned: "Uncle Zeng is far away in Darong, Linxue has to stay with his brother and sister-in-law to protect the safety of Liyang City."

"Right now, the enemy outnumbers us. This battle is about the survival of Liyang, so we must go all out."

When his father-in-law transferred Lu Linxue back to Liyang City, Fu Guiyun guessed that he had temporarily given up Dali and advised: "You don't have to worry about Liyang City. The prince is here, and we will definitely keep Liyang City safe."

"Prince?"

The two brothers looked at each other, both with bitter expressions.

"I heard that the prince has been depressed lately and has been locking himself up in Muxiangzhai all day long."

Lu Linfeng was full of worry. After thinking for a while, he simply said bluntly: "The Crown Prince's Consort must not pin her thoughts on him."

Fu Guiyun smiled calmly: "After all, he is the future of Liyang Palace, so he shouldn't be depressed all the time. Don't worry, I have a way to cheer him up."

Lu Linzhi knew that the prince was depressed because of Dali and disaster relief.

But at this moment, he knew that morale was more important than anything else, whether it was for himself or her.

Glancing silently at Fu Guiyun, he smiled calmly: "Take care, Princess. We will fight to the death to escort the prince back to the city."

"I am also willing to use my life to protect Liyang City and wait for your help." Fu Guiyun replied solemnly.

Lu Linzhi glanced at her secretly, and even though he had thousands of worries and reluctances in his heart, he could only bury them silently in his heart.

Thinking of what she had asked him to do before, she only said one more thing: "There is news from Doctor Xue. He should be returning to Jiangzuo in the next two days. I'll trouble the Crown Prince's Consort to invite him into the mansion."

"it is good."

The few of them said goodbye to each other and said take care.

After all the soldiers had moved out, Fu Guiyun looked at the empty barracks and asked General Hong Qian as he walked out, "How many defenders are there in the city now?"

"There are still five thousand people."

Hong Qian said anxiously, "Princess Hexi has mobilized 50,000 troops from Dali. They were originally sent back to defend Liyang City. If they are all sent to reinforce the two young masters, I am afraid that Dali will be in turmoil."

"The will of the people of Dali depends entirely on this battle. As long as we defeat the imperial army, they will have no choice but to surrender even if they still have the will to rebel."

Fu Guiyun sighed: "But if we can't resist the torrent of the imperial court, then we will be truly attacked from both sides."

She had already guessed that the deposed emperor who had escaped from Dali would take this opportunity to make a comeback. Instead of holding on to a piece of unpolished jade that had not yet been warmed up, it would be better to regroup and chew up this fierce tiger of the imperial court first.

She got back in the carriage and hurried all the way back to the palace. She inadvertently lifted the curtain and happened to see Han's mother looking around outside.

Seeing the figure of the Crown Prince's Consort, Han's mother hurriedly came forward with staggering steps: "This common woman greets the Crown Prince's Consort."

She ordered the carriage to stop and asked in confusion, "Why did Madam Han have time to come here today?"

Mother Han's face was full of concern: "I wonder how the princess is doing now?"

Fu Guiyun didn't know how to answer her about this matter. Now he could only hope to invite Doctor Xue to his house as soon as possible.

Han's mother had a bad feeling and said in a serious tone, "I came here today to make an unreasonable request. I want to ask Aunt Han to come home. I hope the Crown Prince's wife can be flexible."

Fu Guiyun knew that Han's mother was not a person who would make trouble. She called her daughter back home because something happened at home. She didn't ask any more questions and agreed casually: "Okay, Madam Han, get in the carriage and go to the mansion to pick her up and go back together."

It wasn't a big deal, but Han's mother knelt down excitedly: "I thank the Crown Prince's Consort. The Crown Prince's Consort is the best mistress I have ever seen. It is a blessing for Aunt Han to have the Crown Prince's Consort to protect her. It is even more a blessing for the people of Liyang City to have the Crown Prince's Consort."

Fu Guiyun was quite surprised by her condition and he immediately sent someone to help her into the carriage.
