Through the palace of the king of subjugation

After Baiou left the city outside the city, he didn't go back to the city government office, but just found an unoccupied hut beside the city gate, tidied it up casually and lived there.

Sigou is right, there is no rule without rules——

He went to the outer city and saw the cruelty of the plague with his own eyes, so he didn't want to sell it just in case.

The people around him were all sent away as much as possible, leaving only the group of people who had entered the outer city with him during the day.

Even Chen An just came over to take a look, but he didn't let him in.

Sigou has already found out what happened in Daicheng, but fell ill because of the truth.

Even he didn't know where the main force that Zhao Hongyin occupied the city and didn't enter the city went to the original garrison camp if they were not stationed in the city; Sigou is seriously ill now, it's even more impossible for anyone to know Zhao Hongyin's whereabouts.

There are very few descriptions in the history books about Zhao Hongyin's retreat, and there is such a big secret hidden in it.

The paragraph about capturing Jiang Ning with a lightning strike and directly forcing Shang Ning to abdicate to the virtuous is only focused on praising Dayin's founding emperor and ruthlessly attacking Shang Ning's empress—

So what is the truth behind it?

The more Bai Gu thought about it, the more he felt uneasy, and finally asked Chen Anxiu to write another letter to remind Li Yu to pay attention to the situation in the four realms, and then he finally stopped.

When he took off the buckskin armor, the blood had already dyed the bright red silk lining on his left shoulder dark red, and the half-read reply letter during the day fell out of his chest, staining half of the corner of the letter red.

Bai Gu opened the envelope again, and there was a small note inside that was exactly the same as the letter he wrote to Li Yu.

The north wind outside the window rolled up the snowflakes again and whizzed past.

The note Li Yu missed that line, the handwriting is beautiful——

The wind kisses you for me, so I'm even jealous of the wind.

On the dividing line between the plague and survival between the inner city and the outer city, the general was there, and finally stabilized the hearts of the people. When the city calmed down a little, Bai Gu's heart became more and more chaotic every day.

In a blink of an eye, New Year's Eve arrived.

In the palace, all celebrations and banquets at the end of the year were canceled on the grounds of the empress dowager's new funeral; and it was impossible to prepare a decent Spring Festival in the city.

It was rare for Baiou to sneak away for half the night on this day, and Chen An insisted on preparing a few dumplings for him, but he held the dumplings in the earthenware bowl until they were completely cool, without moving his chopsticks.

The weather was beautiful today, the wind and snow that had been in the city for several days finally stopped, the night sky was clear, he could have enjoyed a crescent moon with Li Yu thousands of miles away, but the full moonlight was full of melancholy—— —

Chen An's letter was handed out, but Li Yu didn't reply; after that, Bai Ou wrote several letters about staying in the city, all the details he knew, and everything he could find about Zhao Hongyin.

There are letters written by Chen An, and there are also the handwriting of Baiou's dog crawling, but until today, there is no echo of half a word in Jiangning City.

Until this year, what Baiou waited for was not Li Yu's reply, but the military report from the waiting garrison who had stayed in Jiangning City before.

No one knows how the main force of Beiyin, who seemed to be stationed in the camp outside the city a month or two ago, disappeared from the northwestern border of Jiangning to the northeast.

Shang Ning's territory is not too large, and the speed of the cavalry can be accomplished at such a distance, but the speed of the infantry is absolutely impossible.

Bai Ou clenched the military newspaper tightly in his hand, the words Sigou once said rang in his ear like a gong——

"According to the size and situation of the camp, I can confirm that Beiyin's [-] cavalry are stationed in our previous camp, but the other Beiyin's main forces should not be there—"

"Or, at least not all of them."

Unlike the national border in the northwest of Shangning, where there are high walls inside and outside the city, and Luoxia Mountain and other natural moats that cannot be opened by one man, the border in the northeast of Shangning is much flatter, and there is almost no danger to defend.

For so many years, the Northeast border has been quiet and unnoticed, just because the other side of the border is not Beiyin, but a few small and inconspicuous countries.

But now, those small countries have all quietly become Beiyin's territory.

The content of the battle report is not too detailed, but there is one certain result——

Zhao Hongyin has led Beiyin's iron hooves and absolute main force to flatten the border to the northeast of Shangning, and the marching direction is directed at Jiangning.

During this period of time, Bai Gu locked himself in that hut to deal with official business, and only occasionally went to the outer city to show his face, mainly to see Sigou.

Today, for the first time, everyone rushed out as if watching the general go crazy.

"General—"

Chen An chased after Bai Ou, but most of Bai Ou's injuries had healed, and he couldn't catch up with the speed.

He picked up the military newspaper that Bai Gu had left before he ran away, changed his face by the way, and hurriedly asked Chen Bang to lead people all over the city to look for it.

When Chen Bang found him, Bai Ou was already riding his exclusive Beiyin Liang horse, and was about to leave the city, and the direction of the post road was Jiangning City.

"General!" Chen Bang almost hugged Bai Gu's military boots, dragging them to prevent Bai Gu from leaving, "Where are you going!"

"Let go!"

The white gull's eyes were red, almost like a hysterical lunatic, he directly flicked off the grip of the middle finger tiger, and the thin blade came out of its sheath.

"If someone dares to stop me from going back to Jiangning, don't blame me, don't miss the old love."

Chen An was in a hurry and had no time to explain the contents of the battle report. Chen Bang was at a loss right now, and only knew to keep the white gull.

"But! What are you going to do when you leave the city?"

"The epidemic has just improved. It's not spring yet, and food is not abundant. If you leave at this time, what do you think of the tens of thousands of people waiting in the city?"

"They have just experienced one disaster after another, and they are about to see whether His Majesty and the court still abandon them..."

Spring is about to begin, and if there is chaos in the city and a large number of dead people appear, the terrible plague may make a comeback at any time——

At that time, even if the gods descended to earth, they might not be able to save the city.

White Gull was enveloped by a deep sense of powerlessness, and let go of the knuckle-tiger's hand.

Now he finally understood what kind of torment and torment Li Yu had to make over and over again between Sheji's life and him.

"General—" Chen An finally rushed over after receiving the letter, "You can't leave!"

"No matter how fast the battle report is delivered, there will be a delay in time. The battle report is already a few days ago." He panted, "If Jiangning has changed within the past few days, you and the three northwest cities will be Your Majesty and Shangning. The last hope!"

White Gull frowned in pain.

The moment he received the military report just now, he almost went crazy, his mind went blank, and only one thought remained——

Go back to Li Yu.

Be it life or death, we must always be together.

He could hardly think.

If he left and the city was gone, Li Yu really wouldn't even have the last reliance; what's more, if Li Yu had already fled Jiangning and went off with him on the road, the world would be big, where would he find it.

As long as he is calm enough, it is not difficult for him to come to the conclusion that waiting in the city is the best way.

But how can I sit still...

Every time Li Yu waits for him to go back in the palace, what kind of mood should he feel...

"Chen Bang." He rolled over and got off his horse, holding Chen Bang's shoulders with both hands, "You take someone and go back to Jiangning for me—"

He took out the gold-plated token from his pocket and handed it to Chen Bang, and solemnly gave a military salute, "Be sure to take Your Majesty back to the city for me."

*****

"Your Majesty—" Chen Yu knelt in front of the Guangming Palace, weeping, "You just listen to the old minister's advice! Keep the green hills here, Your Majesty—"

"There are 15 civilians in Jiangning, 20 imperial guards, a total of [-] lives—" No one opened the door, only the emperor's voice came from the door, "You want me to abandon the city and flee?"

"No one wants to abandon the city. This Jiangning city has its own generals to guard. Your Majesty—" Chen Yu said with a broken heart: "Take care of the dragon's body, and only then can Shangning have hope!"

"The people are the most important, the society is second, and the king is the least." Li Yu's voice was low, "This is what the old man taught me, I—"

"Swear to live and die with Jiang Ning."

"Your Majesty—" Beside Li Yu, Xiao Yao knelt down with a "plop", "Master Bai, I'm still waiting for you in the city!"

Li Yu stared at Xiao Yao, and his firm eyes began to tremble just now.

Daicheng and Jiangning, who is not in a dilemma.

"I'm sorry..." Li Yu bent over his desk, holding his head in pain with both hands, and kept murmuring: "I'm sorry..."

Brother Baiou, I'm sorry.

Even if you stay for me, the fish will not be able to swim in this shoal, maybe in the beginning, I shouldn't be greedy towards you.

There was a stalemate in front of Guangming Palace, but a hurried voice came from behind——

"Father!"

Hearing the sound of people turning around, Chen Yu asked in surprise, "Why are you back? There is a curfew at the palace gate in the middle of the night, how did you get in?"

"It was General Bai who asked Chen Bang to come back to pick up His Majesty and stay in the city." Chen Bang took out the token in his sleeve pocket, "And gave this to me."

"It's him...it's him..."

Li Yu suddenly stumbled forward and pulled open the door of the bedroom that Chen Yu had knelt on for a whole day but couldn't open.

"White Gull asked you to come back? What about others? Okay?"

"No, it's not very good..." Chen Bang would not lie, and said seriously while kneeling down to salute: "General Bai was seriously injured before, and he was in a coma for more than ten days... until now... his left hand trembled while holding a bowl of clear porridge. "

Li Yu was stunned in place, unable to understand Chen Bang's words at all.

In the past, the white gull could carry him on his shoulder with one hand. Who is that person who can't hold the porridge bowl?

He shook his head, "You lied."

"That's where the injury is-" Chen Bang pointed to his left shoulder, "A long/spear, the chest goes forward, the back goes out...you will see it with your own eyes..."

"Later, I heard from my elder brother..." Chen Bang said with a lump in his throat, "The blood is almost draining..."

"I don't believe it." Li Yu said in a deep voice, "When did it happen?"

"Just..." Chen Bang recalled for a moment, "Just the night before my brother reported his majesty's safety for the first time!"

It was the night when I woke up from a nightmare again...

Li Yu felt dizzy for a while, and when he woke up, he was no longer in the bedroom of Guangming Palace.

"Where is this?" He felt the bumps coming from under him, "Where are you taking me!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Xiao Yao knelt aside, "The carriage has already left Jiangning City, there is no turning back!"

"Then what about Jiangning..." Li Yu suppressed the choking in his throat, "There are 20 people in Jiangning..."

"Chen Ge will sit in Jiangning, and General Chen Bang will also stay to lead the imperial guards of the Habayashi Army. Your Majesty—" Xiao Yao kowtowed deeply, "Master Bai is seriously injured and is still waiting for you in the city..."

"A country cannot live without a master for a day!"

The emotions in Li Yu's eyes were gradually torn to nothing by the desperate situation. He suddenly said in a hoarse voice, "Where's Madam Su? Is she okay?"

The winter of this year was extremely cold. Li Yu thought it was an illusion that Bai Gu was not around, until Mammy Su finally couldn't stand it anymore and fell ill.

He wanted to take Su Nanny into Guangming Palace to take care of her, but Su Nanny said that she had lived in Yongxiang all her life and she didn't want to move.

At first he still had time to visit often, until Zhao Hongyin appeared on the northeast border, he was so busy that he could only help Xiaoyao to deliver medicine every day.

He was brought up by Nanny Su, and so was Xiao Yao. He didn't think Xiao Yao would abandon Nanny Su and leave just like that, but, could Nanny Su's body withstand the exhaustion of the journey?

"Nurse Su...she..." Xiao Yao suddenly covered his face and wept, "Before she leaves, she won't let the servant tell His Majesty at this stall... Tell the servant to tell His Majesty when the country's affairs are calmer..."

"Nurse Su...the first seven have passed..."

The author has something to say: there are three shifts before 12 o'clock.
