Dare to Believe the Country and Live Up to Your Honor Ⅲ

When Gongsun Mingyue arrived at the palace, Zhao Zhen was summoning Liu Yang, the commander in front of the palace. Judging by the appearance of the two of them, it must be that Nanxia is coming very aggressively this time.

Gongsun Mingyue stepped aside, and Eunuch Fu entered the hall to announce: "Your Majesty, Mr. Gongsun is here."

Zhao Zhen glanced at Liu Yang and said, "Did you remember everything I told you?"

"Your Majesty understands."

"Then go down and prepare."

"Yes, I will leave." Liu Yang stepped back out of the hall after speaking, and saw Gongsun Mingyue nodding politely.

"It's called Gongsun Mingyue."

Gongsun Mingyue walked into the main hall, Zhao Zhen walked down from the hall, Gongsun Mingyue said: "The grass people pay homage to the emperor." After speaking, he was ready to kneel down.

Zhao Zhen said as he walked: "Okay, there is no need to kneel."

"Have you read my letter?" Zhao Zhen looked at Gongsun Mingyue, his expression unchanged.

"Go back to the emperor, the grass people will read it." Gongsun Mingyue kept her head down.

"Then you must know that I came to you this time, so when?" Zhao Zhen walked slowly until he reached the door and stepped over the threshold.

Gongsun Mingyue turned around and quickly followed, even if she knew what she wanted for the emperor, she couldn't show that she knew it, otherwise her life would be in danger.

"The grassroots can only estimate one or two, and the emperor probably needs to tell the truth about the rest." Gongsun Mingyue also stepped out of the threshold.

Zhao Zhen raised his head and looked into the distance, and sighed softly: "He disappeared again, I know that no one in the court can find him, except you."

"Find him for me." Zhao Zhen's tone was very firm, and Gongsun Mingyue couldn't help but looked up at him in puzzlement.

"Your Majesty, the grass people must try their best to find him." Gongsun Mingyue knew that even if it wasn't for the emperor, he would go to Yanxi, because he didn't want to lose him.

"You must bring him back safely." Zhao Zhen turned his head and stared at Gongsun Mingyue, "My world cannot do without him."

"Grassmen will definitely."

"I didn't give you any official position this time, but I can give you a gold medal, so you can go anywhere without hindrance. You can set off with Liu Yang and his team tomorrow morning." Zhao Zhen said meaningfully, " Pang Ce is also in Yanzhou."

The emperor's last words made Gongsun Mingyue startled, it has been more than a year and half a year, is he alright?

Since the last farewell, he hasn't written a letter to himself, and he often forces himself not to think about him, but now that he is going to meet again, the feelings in his heart cannot be described in words.

Before setting off, Gongsun Mingyue sent a letter to Aunt Yan. She didn’t know when she would be able to return. In order to prevent her from worrying, Gongsun Mingyue only said that she was going to pick up Yanxi back, but she didn’t say a word about the disappearance. carry.

The wind and rain along the way made Gongsun Mingyue's already sick body even worse. Although the winter in the Northwest is not that penetratingly damp and cold, the dryness and freezing in the air made Gongsun Mingyue's throat even more painful. Already speechless.

Liu Yang estimated that he would arrive in Yanzhou in a couple of days. Seeing Gongsun Mingyue's haggard face, he couldn't bear it. It was a bit embarrassing for a sick and weak scholar to live and sleep with them. He thought about going to Yanzhou as soon as possible. , can help him find a doctor to recuperate.

Gongsun Mingyue opened a corner of the curtain and said to Liu Yang who was riding a horse: "General Liu, how far is it to Yanzhou?"

"Mr. Gongsun, you will be there just across a river. It will take about a day or two." Liu Yang said, pointing to a river not far ahead.

"I don't know how the situation in Yanzhou is now?" Gongsun Mingyue said with a sigh.

"Mr. Gongsun, according to the news I received two days ago, Yanzhou is still surrounded by Li Binghao. It is estimated that the situation is not optimistic!" Liu Yang couldn't help but sighed.

"Didn't you just notify me of the peace talks a few months ago? Why is the situation getting more and more severe now?" Gongsun Mingyue didn't understand that Yan Xi was clearly going to negotiate a peace, how could it be....

As soon as Liu Yang tightened the reins in his hand, the horse immediately slowed down, and he unhurriedly told the military situation during this period.

"The last peace negotiation was simply Li Binghao's ecstasy formation. Before Lord Yan arrived in Yanzhou, that Li Binghao had already captured all of our Jinming 36 strongholds."

"How could this be?"

"Oh, it's all to blame for that Li Shibin, a fucking mediocre person who actually listened to that villain Li Binghao's words, thinking that Nanxia was really willing to negotiate a peace, so the whole battalion relaxed their vigilance, and finally Li Binghao made a sneak attack in the middle of the night, and they could only end up being passively beaten , hand over the 36 villages to Li Binghao."

Gongsun Mingyue couldn't help but gasped when she heard this, and said quickly: "This Jinming village is the northern pass of Yanzhou. If it is lost, won't it completely expose Yanzhou to the people of Nanxia?"

"Who said it wasn't? That Fan Yong is also trash. Last time tens of thousands of our troops died at Sanchuankou because of him. Fortunately, Pang Ce didn't listen to Fan Yong's words, otherwise Yanzhou would have missed it long ago. We are now in Yanzhou's military strength is only one-third of Nanxia's, and if there is no reinforcement, I don't think Pang Ce will be able to survive." Liu Yang sighed deeply, and tightened his grip on the reins.

After hearing this, Gongsun Mingyue felt sour. The emperor was obviously unwilling to send him more troops this time, otherwise how could he send a letter to the emperor for help with his ability?

When Gongsun Mingyue and the others entered Yanzhou City, Pang Ce was watching the situation on the tower. He knew that the imperial court would send reinforcements, but he didn't know that it was Gongsun Mingyue who was sitting in the carriage.

Seeing Liu Yang and the others, he raised his hand, and Suzaku immediately went to the city tower knowingly and opened the city gate.

"Subordinate Suzaku has seen General Liu." Suzaku raised his hand in gesture.

"General Zhu is polite." Liu Yang dismounted easily with a light leap. Standing with Suzaku in the figure of a military general, Liu Yang looked majestic and tall.

"General, please follow me into the city." Suzaku glanced at the carriage in the team and asked suspiciously: "I wonder if the family members of General Liu are in the carriage?"

"Going to the battlefield to fight, what is the proper way to bring your family?" Liu Yang waved his hand, and the team followed him in an orderly manner, "There is Gongsun Gongzi inside."

"Gongsun Mingyue, Gongsun Gongzi?" Suzaku emphasized again?

"Exactly."

Suzaku immediately bowed his head and whispered to the soldier beside him, only to see that man running towards the city wall quickly.

After everyone settled down, Pang Ce came to the official post led by Suzaku. He knew that Gongsun Mingyue was here, but he was the last person he wanted to see.

"General Pang." Liu Yang clapped his hands together.

"General Liu." Pang Ce replied politely.

After sitting down, Pang Ce motioned for Liu Yang to sit down too: "Please."

Liu Yang spoke first: "I wonder if I can trouble General Pang to find a doctor."

"Why, General Liu is unwell?" Pang Ce picked up the water glass and put it down again.

"Oh, it's not my son, it's Gongsun Gongzi. He is already ill, and the fatigue of traveling and traveling will make things worse."

Pang Ce's heart tightened, but he immediately returned to normal. He smiled and said, "So it's not General Liu."

He waved to Suzaku and said, "Go and find a doctor for General Liu."

Suzaku nodded.

After Suzaku left, Pang Ce continued to pick up the water glass to drink, and asked after he calmed down, "Li Binghao has been besieging the city for a long time. I wonder if General Liu has any good countermeasures?"

"Liu is not clear about the current situation, and wants to find out the situation before making a decision."

"That's right." Ponce continued, "Let's see it this way. Let Suzaku take a look around with you tomorrow. How about we discuss it when we come back tonight?"

"can."

"Then tonight, this king welcomes General Liu, so you must do me a favor." Pang Ce said with a smile.

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders." Liu Yang stood up and said goodbye.

Gongsun Mingyue was lying in the room, her thoughts tossing. She had already settled down, but Pon Ce still didn't show up. Did he really not know or pretend that he had come?

Just as he was thinking, Suzaku pushed the door open and walked in, saying: "Young Master Gongsun, I brought a doctor to show you."

Gongsun Mingyue sat up and saw Suzaku smiling slightly. She hadn't seen him for more than half a year. Suzaku was thinner and darker than before.

"General Zhu, I'm sorry to trouble you." Gongsun Mingyue said with a smile, she couldn't help being excited when she saw her old friend.

"Doctor, please." Suzaku led the doctor closer.

Gongsun Mingyue was still the same as before, but what he saw today was more cold and haggard, perhaps because he had been ill for a long time and hadn't healed, his words were weak.

Soon the doctor finished his pulse, stood up and said to Suzaku: "Young Master Gongsun is in some troubles. Originally, typhoid fever is not a big problem, but because the lesion has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, it may be difficult to recover."

"Then what should we do? You must think of a way." Suzaku said anxiously.

"This old man prescribes some medicines, let Mr. Gongsun try them first, and see how they work." After speaking, the doctor sat down at the table and wrote the prescriptions.

"General Zhu, Gongsun Mingyue knows that there is nothing serious about her body. She will be fine after a few days of rest." Gongsun Mingyue said with a smile.No matter what the reason was, he never came to see him, but he was stubborn and didn't want him to worry about him.

Suzaku squeezed out a forced smile from the corner of his mouth, he knew that Gongsun Mingyue just said this so that others would not worry about him.

Suzaku took the prescription from the doctor's hand and said, "Mr. Gongsun, you should rest a lot. I'll go get the medicine now."

After Gongsun Mingyue lay down, Suzaku gently closed the door.

Pang Ce held a banquet at night and did not call Shang Gongsun Mingyue, Suzaku asked incomprehensibly: "General, why didn't you call Shang Gongsun Gongzi?"

Pang Ce didn't say a word. His mood was complicated. He wanted to see him, but he didn't want to see him. Yan Xi had already disappeared. I hope that he can stay in the capital safely, so at least I know he is safe, but now I put my little life in this deserted and dilapidated place, alas, no one knows what the end will be.

Seeing that Pang Ce was silent, Suzaku stopped asking. When he was in Caozhou last time, he felt that there was something weird between the two of them. Now that he thinks about it, his guess may be correct.

"How is his body?" Ponce asked lightly.

"The doctor said that the situation is not optimistic."

"What do you mean by not being optimistic?" Pon Ce frowned, and asked displeasedly, "Isn't it just a little cold? Why is it not optimistic again?"

"The doctor said that because the wind and cold have dragged on for too long, and the wind and sleeping on the way, Gongsun Gongzi's cold is more serious, and now it has penetrated into the bone marrow, and I am afraid it will not be cured." Suzaku looked at Pon Ce's face, and his voice became more and more serious. smaller.

Pang Ce picked up the water glass and dropped it to the ground. The more afraid he was, the more he would come.
