Gu Chengjing pursed his lips. He wanted to escape!! But it was not because he was afraid of death!!

How can I make them understand? ! If you can live, blindly seeking death is the most stupid choice. The fall of Jincheng is an irreversible fact. When he came, he knew how tragic the battle of Dingzhou was! ! Bringing a few thousand people to help was the limit given to him by his mother! !

It is hard to say whether Dingzhou can be stabilized. Waiting for Dingzhou to come to help is absolutely impossible. If Jincheng is broken, all the people and so many people in Zhenbei Palace will face death! !

The common people might still have a chance to survive. As they belonged to the same great country, they would not kill them all. However, there would be no chance of leaving a single person alive in his Zhenbei Palace.

Rather than dying here meaninglessly and just to make up the numbers, it is better to create a glimmer of hope for yourself, your family and more people.

Gu Chengjing thought for a moment, "The fall of Jincheng is an outcome that cannot be changed. As we leave, we can also inform the people in other cities along the way and let them make plans in advance. And Dingzhou!!"

Gu Chengjing clenched his fists. The Daying royal family and the Qiang tribe passed through the hinterland and joined forces in Dingzhou. The Dingzhou army would be attacked from both sides and there would be no chance of survival. He had to hurry back to inform his mother and make plans early.

"Dingzhou is caught in a fierce battle. If they hold on, the Da Ying and Qiang coalition forces will attack from the hinterland, which will be the end of the entire Zhenbei Army!! So we have to go and deliver the message. Do you understand?"

Everyone's faces showed fear, yes! ! Jincheng could no longer be defended. If Dingzhou did not receive the news, when the three armies joined forces in Dingzhou, the Zhenbei Army would be completely annihilated! !

"Young Master has always been resourceful and thoughtful, far beyond the average person!! We believe that Young Master can make the most correct decision at the best time!!"

"Yes, there are no cowards in the Zhenbei Palace. We shouldn't question the young master!!"

"Yes, we will do whatever the young master says!!"

Gu Chengjing nodded. There was no more time to waste.

Every time they passed a city along the way, they sent a Zhenbei Army to inform the local state or county magistrate that the northern border city had been breached and asked them to prepare. The people stayed indoors and if the enemy came, they would open the gates and surrender directly, and not make futile resistance, which would only kill more people.

Gu Chengjing led his men all the way to Dingzhou without stopping at all along the way.

"I'm going back to the palace now. Go to Dingzhou City and inform my mother. Retreat to Yuncheng!"

Yuncheng is located in a place with high mountains and long roads, and is surrounded by mountains on all sides, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. In addition, there is a grain base established by Shen Lianxin there. In order to protect the grain base of Yunshan Village, Gu Dingbei ordered people to strengthen the defense along the periphery of Yuncheng and built a long section of defensive wall. Due to the long-term shortage of food, the Zhenbei Army attached great importance to this grain base and specially left 10,000 garrison soldiers there.

Nowadays, this is the best place for the Zhenbei Army.

Gu Chengjing had already made up his mind. He immediately returned to the palace and led everyone in the palace to evacuate to Yuncheng.

Two Zhenbei Army soldiers went to the front line to inform Shen Lianxin.

After arriving at the palace, Gu Chengjing went straight to the lobby. Aunt Liu was shocked. Gu Chengjing should be at the front line at this moment, so how could he come back?

"Xiao Jing? What happened?" Gu Chengjing looked exhausted and a little embarrassed, and bad thoughts arose in his mind.

"The Zhenbei Army has been defeated!! No time to explain, follow me now!! Quick!!"

The second and third wives heard the news and rushed over, just in time to hear this.

"Defeated? How could that happen? What's the situation now? The Zhenbei Army has never been defeated in a fight against the Hu Meng people, how could they be defeated?"

"Yes!! How could we lose? Are we all going to flee from the Zhenbei Palace?"

Gu Chengjing was overwhelmed and was still asking questions at this time.

But since they were all elders, they had no choice but to explain, "The Qiang tribe and Daying have joined forces to break Jincheng. Soon, the three armies will attack the remnants of the Zhenbei Army in Dingzhou. They will definitely be defeated!! The only way to survive is to abandon the city and find another opportunity to make a comeback!"

"What? The imperial court is blatantly colluding with foreign nations?"

"But, but..."

Gu Chengjing was very anxious, "No buts, follow me now. Don't take anything with you. I'm going to find Xiaozhen and Ziqi!!"

Gu Chengjing turned and ran towards Hua Tingyuan. He quickly said it again, and several maids were shocked.

Qiyue immediately organized herself, "Don't panic, listen to Master Jing!! Call everyone, go with the little master!! Chunxiang, go and carry Master Ziqi out!! Don't forget to bring diapers for the little master and the milk that Madam gave him!!"

"Yes!" Chunxiang quickly agreed and went to find Gu Ziqi immediately.

"Xia Xiang and Qiu Xiang, go call the little princess and protect her as she goes with Master Jing!!"

"Yes!!" Xia Xiang and Qiu Xiang responded and left.

"Dongxiang, go and get all the money you guys have saved up. Take as much as you can. We only have a moment to spare. Don't delay. If it's hard to take, don't take it!"

"Yes!!" Dongxiang replied.

"Kitchen staff, pack up all edible food and take it away. This will also take a moment!"

"Yes, Miss July!!"

Gu Chengjing looked at Qiyue with admiration! ! The people in Hua Tingyuan had a good division of labor. In less than half an hour, they were all ready and stood in the yard waiting for Gu Chengjing to come.

"Walk!!"

When he arrived at the lobby, Gu Chengjing became anxious when he found that the second and third bedrooms had not come out yet.

"Go and bring grandma and the aunts! No matter what they are doing, leave immediately!!"

"Yes!" The Zhenbei Army that followed him took action immediately.

Aunt Liu was still packing her gold and silver. "Escape, escape, this, this must be brought with you, this can't be left out!! Oh, it's a pity to throw away my new quilt."

The Zhenbei Army soldiers came in and bowed, "Madam, we are following Master Jing's orders to take you away."

"Wait a moment. I have two sets of gold head ornaments in my jewelry box. I need to take them."

The soldiers of the Zhenbei Army were speechless. At this critical moment of life and death, they did not hesitate to carry Madam Liu away.

"Hey, hey, hey!! What are you doing? What are you doing? I just need those two sets of headgear, they are made of gold, I can just take them with me, in just a moment, a moment!!"

The second and third rooms were also packing up their things, and the Zhenbei Army soldiers brought people out directly.

"Xiao Jing, Third Aunt still has some banknotes that she hasn't taken yet, can you give them to her?"

Gu Chengjing shook his head and said, "Let's go!"

With a wave of his hand, he led everyone away! !

After walking for a while, Li Yun'er was surprised and asked, "Xiao Jing, aren't we going to Dingzhou camp to meet your mother?"

"Yeah! Where are we going?"

Gu Chengjing shook his head. "We are walking slowly and cannot keep up with the speed of the march. Besides, the Zhenbei Army is the focus. If we go with the main army, we will be a drag on the main army. It will be more dangerous over there. The Zhenbei Army will have to be distracted to protect us, and we will be in greater danger."

Everyone nodded, "Xiao Jing is really thoughtful. Where should we go now? Can your mother and the others find us?"
