Yan Zhen and Meng Zhi couldn't help worrying about Xiao Jingyan's words, but the person involved, Mei Changsu, was able to deal with it with a few words and a few words.

They all breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't dare to relax.

The emperor had already moved into the hunting palace, but except for the prince and prince, the rest of the clan and accompanying officials still camped outside, keeping the scene of hunting sacrifices.

Meng Zhi is the busiest and most nervous person in the past two days. On the one hand, he has to adjust the defense of Jiu'an Mountain, but on the other hand, he can't make people feel that there is anything strange about his adjustment. His whole nerves are tense at any time.

In addition to dealing with some things these few days, Xiao Jingyan just stayed by Yan Zhen and Ajiu's side.

"You don't have to stay with me." Yan Zhen asked Liuli to take Xiao Youning to take a nap, and she said to Xiao Jingyan calmly, "Now, Jiu'an Mountain is still safe."

Xiao Jingyan was silent for a while, and said, "Ah Zhen, I feel a little uneasy. If I bring Ji Cheng's army back, the Hunting Palace has already fallen, mother, you and Ajiu..."

"If the Hunting Palace falls, you shouldn't come back. Go straight back to Jinling and use your grandfather's power to control the situation." Yan Zhen said in a deep voice, seeing that his expression was not the same as before, she said softly, "You don't have to worry too much, I will I believe you will be able to arrive. You also have to believe that Meng Zhi and I will be able to defend the hunting palace before you arrive."

Xiao Jingyan hugged Yan Zhen in his arms, stroking her long hair with his chin, and said in a low voice almost whispering: "You must wait for me. Do you understand?"

Yan Zhen responded to him in a low voice, already prepared in her heart to die.

Fortunately, only four days had passed since this crisis was approaching, and the shocking news had already arrived.

The soldiers who called the police were soaked in blood, and when they were brought in front of Emperor Liang, they were speechless. From his distressed appearance, it can be seen that the sound of the rebels' horseshoes should be approaching.

The entire Mount Jiu'an shook, and Meng Zhi narrowed down the guarding area of ​​the imperial guards according to the plan he had already planned, and quickly set up several outer defense lines along the mountain roads and ditches.

Fortunately, this place was originally a royal hunting ground, and all pedestrian trails outside the mountain road were blocked. There are natural mountain streams outside the pasture around the hunting palace, the slope is suitable, there are many mountains and trees, and quarrying is also convenient. They can't stand the rocks and rocks when they climb up the cliff to attack, so they can shrink the defense line tightly and densely, offsetting some of the disadvantages of being outnumbered.

"What? What are these traitors clamoring for?" Listening to the report from the police envoy, Liang Di didn't know whether he was angry or frightened, and his whole body kept shaking, "You...you say it again!"

Xiao Jingyan stood beside his father calmly, and said: "The rebels' banner is that the sons and ministers have threatened the father's emperor by rebelling, so they are here to protect the king."

"When did you hold me hostage?"

"The rebel army must have a reason for their rebellion. In the future, they can say that when they came to save him, the scene was chaotic. Although the son and minister were wiped out, the father and emperor were also killed by the son. The queen orders a new heir."

"Delusion! Nizi, Nizi!" Emperor Liang roared angrily, then forced himself to stabilize his mind, and looked at the son beside him, "Jingyan, the rebel army is approaching, what can you do?"

"My son thought that moving away from Jiu'an Mountain at this time would be tantamount to committing suicide. He could only take advantage of the rebel army's encirclement, while preparing to hold on, and at the same time send someone to call in reinforcements."

"Okay! Okay! I will write an imperial edict to you..."

"Father, there is no soldier talisman that can't move Jicheng's army."

"Why do you need to transfer the Jicheng army? The nearest reinforcements should be the forbidden army of the imperial capital!"

"Father, the rebel army came from the west. Do you still think that going to the imperial capital for help will be effective?"

Emperor Liang pressed his sweaty forehead with his hands and slumped in the chair weakly.

Concubine Jing, who had been sitting beside him, interjected at the right time: "Jicheng's army and the imperial capital both ask for help. Wouldn't it be better to see who comes sooner?"

"That's true." Xiao Jingyan nodded, "To avoid suspicion, I can't go to the imperial capital. I ask my father to give me a military amulet, and I will lead my troops to protect my father, mother and concubine within five days. As for the imperial capital, my father please I have sent my confidant ministers to ask for help, if there are reinforcements, I will treat the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, if not, my father can see the truth more clearly."

The situation was critical, and there was no room for hesitation at this time, not to mention Concubine Jing was by his side, Emperor Liang was not worried that Prince Jing would not rush back as quickly as possible, so he only pondered for a while, and then he went into the inner account to fetch half a soldier talisman, Solemnly hand it over to King Jing: "Jingyan, Jiangshan Sheji is now on you alone, remember not to lose anything on the way!"

"Yes! My son will not disgrace his life." Xiao Jingyan knelt down and bowed, got up and grabbed the cloak in Yan Zhen's hand, shook it in the wind, tied it on his shoulders, looked deeply at his wife, and silently made two "" "Wait for me" mouth shape, then strode out of the hall.

Yan Zhen looked at Xiao Jingyan's back, kneeling straight in front of Emperor Liang.

"Father, my daughter-in-law is willing to go into battle in military uniform, and protect father and mother before Jingyan returns."

Emperor Liang didn't want Yan Zhen to take risks, but thinking that she had been fighting with Xiao Jingyan all year round, and she was the disciple of Old Man Tianji, he agreed.

"Good boy, get up quickly." Concubine Jing glanced at Emperor Liang, stepped forward to help her up, held her hand and patted her.

Yan Zhen nodded to her: "Ajiu will leave it to mother."

She knew that their military strength was very different, and now it was a last stand.

It may be ironic, but when the bloody smell is approaching, the weather is unusually bright. Between the gaps between the trees where new green teeth emerge, little golden sunlight dances lightly, bringing a sense of leisure and warmth.

Meng Zhi held his sword and stood at the forefront of the Imperial Army's line of defense, motionless as a mountain.

Born on the battlefield, he knows that when the enemy is more than ten times larger than his own and swarms up, the sense of oppression is amazing. Once the soldiers can't bear it and become timid, they will be defeated at any time , so he must take the lead, arouse everyone's courage, and can't lose the contact at the very first moment.

Due to the high mountains and dense forests, the narrow and winding roads, and the imperial army's well-equipped armor and strong shields, the Qingli army could neither use cavalry nor arrows to clear the way. The sharp snow is bright and dense, like a forest, and it rushes forward amidst the shouts of killing soaring to the sky.

The battle in the dense forest will be defended by Meng Zhi.

In the hunting ground behind, Yan Zhen has already laid a trap.

On the third day, all of them retreated to the hunting palace.

Under the strong cooperation of Meng Zhi and Yan Zhen, more than half of the Qingli army has been killed or injured, but there is still a disparity in strength between them.

Hunting Palace is already the last line of defense.

"What are you doing in armor?" Yan Zhen frowned and looked at Yan Yujin, "You follow Mr. Su in. Ting Sheng, take care of Ajiu for me."

"Yes, Master."

"Sister, do you want me to stay with those old fellows in the hall? Besides, you are outside, as a man, how can you hide inside." Yan Yujin said, and finally he had his usual playful smile again.

Mei Changsu left behind Feiliu to protect Yan Yujin, and Yan Zhen also had Langgan Pearls by his side, and the tortoiseshell glass was inside to accompany Xiao Youning.

Before Mei Changsu went in, he nodded to Yan Zhen, Yan Zhen understood.

The fierce battle at this time was even more different from the previous few days, because it was so close, so close that the big shots in the palace could almost smell the smell of blood.

Under the wave after wave of attacks by the rebels, the imperial army, who had run out of arrows, tightened their front line and began to guard door by door, step by step.

Because this is the most elite part of the most elite team trained by Daliang's top master, and because of the bloody courage of the last stand, they fought until late at night, and the rebels only broke into the outermost side pavilion.

"Haven't the reinforcements from the imperial capital arrived yet?" Hearing the shouts of killing outside, Emperor Liang murmured in his bedroom, whether it was from a human being or talking to himself.

In fact, at this time, he already understood that even though the one he sent to move troops to the imperial capital was his most trusted personal guard, and even though he had received a reply from the guards that he had successfully sneaked out of the encirclement, the reinforcements he was expecting would still not come. Coming from the west.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, Jingyan will come back in time." Concubine Jing comforted softly, holding the old emperor's trembling hand.

For fear of becoming a target, only a few dim lamps were lit in the room, and the dim light made the faces of the people in the palace look ashen as ever.

Duke Huai, who was the most timid by nature, couldn't help curling up into a ball long ago, and said in a trembling voice: "If they attack us, do they really dare to ... do something to us?"

"Shut up!" Emperor Liang shouted angrily, trying his best to maintain his imperial demeanor, not wanting to show timidity in front of others, "How could this group of rebels attack in? I trust Meng Zhi, and I trust Jingyan!"

Following the angry reprimand, the room fell silent, which made the shouts of killing from outside even harsher, and the smell of blood became more intense.

Yan Zhen didn't know that the atmosphere inside was tense, she was instructing those soldiers with good light work and strong arms to throw the oil cooked by the harem maid over the city wall.

The screams of the enemy were heard on the spot.

"set fire."

"Yes."

But it can only resist for a while.

Hearing the trembling sound of the palace gate being knocked, Yan Zhen's heart trembled, she looked at Meng Zhi's serious face, cupped her hands and said, "Commander, this gate is the last line of defense in the Hunting Palace, and also the last line of my girder. The line of defense. I have heard for a long time the commander-in-chief's demeanor in running the army, and it is my good fortune to kill the enemy with the commander-in-chief and you today."

Meng Zhi's face was serious, he took a look at Yan Zhen, and drew out his sword: "This gate is the last line of defense for my girder, now the enemy wants to break through my girder. Who wants to fight the enemy with me."

"I will wait."

The morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted by Meng Zhi and Yan Zhen's words.

Breaking through the palace gate, so what?We still have this palace gate, so what if we break through the palace gate?We still have our bodies.

As long as there is still one breath, it is not considered a fall.

Yan Zhen looked at the person rushing in with a serious expression, swiped the sword in his hand, and directly took the enemy's head.

She promised Jingyan that she would guard her mother and Ajiu until he came back.

She will never break her word.
