Through the palace of the king of subjugation

The emperor has not yet been in power, and although he holds the jade seal in his hand, according to the system of Shang Ning ancestors, the imperial decree must be stamped with a phoenix seal and the joint names of three Gu Ming ministers before it can take effect.

Among the three Gu Ming ministers, except for Chen Yu, they are all members of the aristocratic family, and Li Yu has not yet become an empress, Zhou Zheling has always held the phoenix seal in his hands; Let go of the phoenix seal.

This is why Li Yu had to open the way for the white gull many times before, but he must not act quietly, and must face Zhou Zheling and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty.

It is true that Li Yu refused to allow Baiou to go to Daicheng before, but it was true that the sentence "Qing Jun's side" cut off all his thoughts.

Even if he can really ignore Bai Gu's comfort, he can't do anything without that wind seal——

As a military general in the court, if Bai Ou is not called to fight, it is disrespectful to resist the order; if there are [-] troops stationed in the city, if there is no order to transfer, he will follow Bai Ou's orders, and he will be punished as a major crime of treason according to the law.

Without a decent background, Bai Ou's previous expeditions would be unfair; the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, life and death are only a matter of thought, Li Yu can't let Bai Ou be a hindrance to the rear conspiracy.

But now that Bai Ou has a noble background and has made great achievements repeatedly, this time Zhou Zheling took the lead and never allowed Bai Ou to go out to fight, just to prevent the Chen family who did not want to join forces with them to dominate.

The members of the aristocratic family have long regarded the white gull as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh, and they want to deal with it quickly. They will hold on to any wrongdoing, let alone such serious crimes as resisting the order and conspiracy.

How could Li Yu hand them a knife.

"Then why don't you just watch!" Bai Gu punched heavily on the table.

If these principles were placed on others, he might not be unable to understand them, but with Li Yu, every minute and every second was urging him——

He couldn't calm down.

Since the letter of the battle in the city had already been sent to Sigou, even if it was rushed all the way, it would have happened a few days ago, but Xiang Xingyan was on the same side as Xiang Hong, plus a military department. There is no news at all.

After so many days, Sigou didn't get any news about the situation of the battle, but if the situation is optimistic, the father and son's claim for credit may be much faster than Sigou's.

How could Bai Gu not be in a hurry.

Li Yu's hand reached out to Bai Gu under the desk, and quietly held Bai Gu's hand through a layer of tablecloth, conveying a kind of gentle power.

He didn't speak, just looked at the white gull silently.

There are only Sigou and Xiaoyao on the side hall, one is as clever as a loach, and the other is used to observing words and expressions; seeing the atmosphere, the two looked at each other, neither of them said anything, and quietly retreated.

"Brother Baiou." Li Yu said softly, "There is no battle report from the court yet."

"Sigou's intelligence network was laid down by me myself." Bai Ou gritted his teeth and said, "There will be no mistakes."

"It's just a war. We all know that this battle will be fought sooner or later." Li Yu squeezed Bai Ou's hand again, "We may not lose."

White Gull closed his eyes in pain.

He didn't know how to explain to Li Yu that he was destined not to win.

"Do you think you have a chance of winning?" He said in a deep voice.

Li Yu didn't answer, but just asked a rhetorical question, "If you go, do you think you have a chance of winning?"

A long time ago, Bai Gu had faintly realized that the disparity in the strength of this war could no longer be reversed by manpower; even earlier, when the flood in the south of the Yangtze River was replaced by drought, he should have understood that all these seemed irreversible. Providence.

But love makes people desperate, just like a fish that got stuck in the mud and jumped out of the water regardless of everything——

Whether he went against the trend or against the sky, he wanted Li Yu to stay.

He clasped Li Yu's wrist under the table, "I must try!"

"I'll take you there." Li Yuren let Bai Gu hold his wrist, and gently covered the back of Bai Gu's hand with his other hand, "But we need a chance."

White Gull was surprised and said nothing.

He never thought that Li Yu would really say the words to send him to the front line.

Although he gave Li Yu a rehearsal of psychological construction at the top of the mountain last night, no one knew better than him how different things were in his imagination and what happened in front of his eyes.

He imagined [-] possibilities, Li Yu would cry and fuss, he might have to coax him, but he never thought that the young emperor would be so calm, and even patted the back of Bai Gu's hand lightly, as if to comfort him.

The days of waiting are the hardest. Knowing that the most terrible result may be ahead, but being bound and unable to do anything, Baiou feels that he is going crazy every day.

Zhou Zheling still didn't show up, as if he was hiding with Fang Fengyin in his hands.

Only Li Yu handled official duties as usual, and everything was as usual.

Late summer turns into autumn in an instant.

At the beginning, Yugong Yishan did not seem to have moved Taihang and Wangwu Mountains, but the entire city of Dai; this city seemed to have disappeared from this land, and no news was heard from it.

Even Sigou's intelligence network seemed to be completely paralyzed.

Even if they were defeated, wouldn't there be a single person alive who could deliver the message among the hundred thousand soldiers and civilians?

Everything is so weird.

"You recruit some competent people—" Bai Gu called Sigou, and said concisely, "Go back to Daicheng."

"General..." Sigou was a little surprised.

He had sent several waves of his subordinates back to Daicheng to investigate, but none of them returned to Jiangning; today, he just wanted to ask Bai Ou for transfer and go back to Daicheng to check in person.

"As fast as I can." Bai Gu said in a deep voice, "I must know what happened in the city."

The four dogs set off on the same day, and the white gull felt like sitting on pins and needles every day, watching the leaves of the old ginkgo tree outside the bedroom and beside the gazebo gradually turn yellow, gradually unable to hang on the branches, and fell into mud.

Autumn is getting stronger.

The cool breeze at night has been accompanied by a slight chill, as if to indicate that early winter is coming.

But even the four dogs have never heard from——

After this winter, when everything recovers again, when the warm wind blows the peach blossoms again, Li Yu will turn twenty...

The days of Shang Ning's subjugation are counting down every moment.

Li Yu got up early today and had already changed into the autumn and winter dragon robes. The white gull seemed to be choked by something, unable to breathe.

He couldn't wait any longer, and he was going to tell Li Yu today that no matter what, he had to go there in person——

But today Li Yu went to court early, and he hasn't come back until now.

As the sun was approaching, Baiou sent his servants to Taiji Hall to inquire over and over again, and the letters sent back were that the gate of Taiji Hall was closed, and the emperor and his ministers were still discussing matters.

Bai Ou changed his clothes and was about to go to the main hall to have a look in person, but just as he walked out of the gate of Guangming Palace, someone came from outside the palace.

Sigou or Baiou, Sigou's confidant, are very familiar with each other, and the visitor is not among them, not even any one he brought back from the city.

The person who came was well-mannered and well-spoken, it was impossible for him to be the group of soldiers under him.

"The young one is a visitor to Chen Ge's old mansion." After the visitor saluted, he respectfully handed over the seal, "There is something important to do in the city, and Chen Ge's old man sent a villain to inform the young master, and immediately went to the gazebo beside the post road ten miles north of the city. A story."

There is often a pavilion on both sides of the post road, which is a homonym of the word "stop"; the long pavilion stays farewell, intending to stay forever.

When the white gull was led to the pavilion on the post road in the north of the city by the doormen of Chen's house, he couldn't see the ten-mile-long pavilion and the scene of fragrant grass.

Autumn is deep, and the vegetation is dead.

This post road is the direction leading to the city. Right now, the city is buzzing, and this place seems to pass through the gate of hell, and everyone walks around it.

No one appeared in the so-called pavilion, and the white gull was led to a thatched hut not far away. The autumn wind swirled and rolled up a handful of yellow sand at his feet.

The scene in front of me is like a long poem in bleak prose, which makes people unbearable to read quickly.

Walking to the side of the hut, the atmosphere is completely different from before; a dilapidated hut with 20 people guarding a palm-sized area looks even tighter than the bedroom of Guangming Palace.

There was tension in the air.

"General Bai—" The guests of the Chen residence stepped forward respectfully and saluted, "Here we are."

The two came galloping, silent all the way, Bai Ou was so anxious that he didn't ask any more questions, and went forward to push the door, but was stopped by the strong men guarding the door.

One of the strong men stepped forward to salute, "General, let's talk outside."

The man was tall and strong, wearing an inconspicuous coarse cloth. He seemed to have no interest in any ordinary civilian on the street, but his words and actions were completely unlike ordinary people or the servants of ordinary wealthy families. Know the rules.

Bai Ou also stayed in Chen's residence for some time before, he stared at the man's face carefully——

It was actually the nursing home of the Chen residence.

Different from the servants of ordinary aristocratic families who guard the gates, most of the guards in the Chen family are the same as Chen Bang. On the surface, they are guards, but they have another identity behind their backs. They do things for Chen Zhen or the emperor that cannot teach Zhou Zheling what those people saw.

Although they are not as skilled as Chen Bang, they are not far behind.

Bai Gu frowned, there are so many people, he can't force it now.

What happened in Kedai City?

The strong man at the door turned sideways while saluting, and the saber hidden behind his waist hit the dilapidated wooden door behind him; while the white gull was meditating on countermeasures, a weak human voice came from the room——

"General...is, is that you?"

Although Bai Gull didn't recognize the voice, he was very familiar with the accent——

Strong local accent.

This person came from Daicheng, or at least he was one of the group of people he brought back to Jiangning from Daicheng.

Bai Gu stepped forward nervously, but was stopped by the two people in front of the door raising their hands; these two people lowered their eyebrows and looked down, their eyes and movements were respectful, but they really did not give in.

People in the Chen House probably have the same temper, and Bai Ou had already learned a lot from Chen Bang before.

Even if the emperor Lao Tzu is in front of him, he would dare to contradict the things they are sure about.

"You came from the city?" Bai Gu could only say helplessly outside the door: "Who told you to come?"

"The little one...yes, it's General Gou's subordinates, who followed the general from the city...to escort the imperial driver back to the palace...A few days ago...then followed General Gou back to the city... ..."

The people in the door seemed to be full of energy, exhausted and exhausted, but their brains were still clear, and although their speech was intermittent, they were clearly organized. It would make sense to say that they were the elites brought back from Jiangning. .

"Then why are you the only one coming back!" Bai Gu nervously scratched at the crack of the door.

The people inside the door looked like they were about to die at any moment, and Bai Gu was dying of panic, "Where is Sigou? What happened in Daicheng!"

"No one knows what happened in the city...but..." The man's weak voice was mixed with sobs, "Dai, the city is... gone..."
