Satai didn't believe what Lin Wanwan said.
She is from Dayong, how could she be so kind as to come to him, a foreign enemy, to report the news?
There must be something fishy going on here!
Seeing that he didn't believe her, Lin Wanwan quickly described the eldest prince's clothes and appearance, indicating that she had really seen him.
Only then did Satai reluctantly believe it, and took his men to hold Lin Wanwan hostage, asking her to lead the way.
Along the way.
Lin Wanwan's heart was in turmoil.
She didn't know whether she should take these people to find the Lin family.
If these people knew that the eldest prince was captured by the Lin family...
She knows better than anyone what will happen to the Lin family!
...
...
But his footsteps did not hesitate to move towards the Lin family's camp.
Right at this moment.
The troops Lin Wuchong sent down the mountain to look for support from Cangzhou Camp have also arrived!
"Look! Those are Northern Barbarian spies! They have also gone up the mountain to look for the eldest prince!" The Lin family members said hurriedly as they looked at the Northern Barbarian Army walking in front of them.
Captain Liu didn't expect that the information these people brought was actually true!
He was glad that the captain sent people to support him.
"We can't let these people find the Northern Barbarian Prince first! Kill him with me!"
Captain Liu immediately gave orders and led thousands of elite troops to surround the Northern Barbarian spies.
The Northern Barbarian spies did not dare to send people to search the mountains in a high-profile manner, for fear of being discovered by the Cangzhou military camp.
So he only sent a hundred elite soldiers to sneak into the mountain.
Satai didn't expect that the news from the Cangzhou army would spread so quickly, and he just happened to run into the other side!
Although the enemy's troops were ten times larger than his own, he remained unafraid, and the two sides immediately engaged in a fighting match.
Lin Wanwan didn't expect to run into the Cangzhou army so soon, so she took the opportunity to escape and fled back to the Lin family.
"Uncle San, Big Brother! Something terrible has happened!" Lin Wanwan shouted immediately.
Upon hearing this, Lin Wuchong and Lin Jingchen hurried over and asked nervously.
"Wanwan, what happened?"
Lin Wanwan took a few deep breaths and said, "The Northern Barbarian spies sneaked up the mountain and happened to run into the Cangzhou army and started fighting!"
Lin Wuchong and Lin Jingchen felt nervous when they heard this.
"How many people are there on each side?" Lin Wuchong asked nervously.
This is a matter of life and death for the Lin family, so he is extremely nervous at the moment.
Hearing this, Lin Wanwan quickly calculated in her mind and said, "I didn't see it clearly. Both sides probably have several hundred people, so they should be evenly matched."
Lin Wuchong and Lin Jingchen became even more nervous after hearing this. They looked at each other and said, "Quick! Go and provide support!"
Watching the two men hurriedly leading their troops down the mountain, Lin Wanwan's lips curved up in an imperceptible arc.
She avoided the Lin family, found an excuse to send away the other remaining mobs, and successfully arrived at the big tree where the eldest prince was tied up.
The eldest prince has been feeling uneasy ever since he was captured.
I don’t know when my uncle will send someone to rescue him.
But he didn't expect that the first person to come to rescue him was a fairy!
"Fairy! Why are you here!" The eldest prince was excited to see Lin Wanwan risking her life to save him.
Lin Wanwan didn't dare to expose her relationship with the Lin family, and explained: "I have been secretly following you, and now I find a chance to save you. Don't make a sound, I will put you down first."
“Hmmmm!”
The eldest prince was particularly obedient, but his eyes were always looking at Lin Wanwan eagerly and he was reluctant to look away.
After untying the eldest prince, she quickly released Xiongta, Wuen and other captured northern barbarians.
"Let's go! Those outside are all from the Cangzhou military camp. It sounds like they are here to arrest you too!"
It's quiet in the night.
The sounds of fighting from the foot of the mountain could be faintly heard here.
The eldest prince and Xiongta heard it clearly.
Without any hesitation, they immediately retreated with the eldest prince.
Before leaving, he did not forget to kill the Lin family thugs he met along the way.
The Lin family, Cangzhou reinforcements and Northern Barbarian spies were delayed, and Lin Wanwan and his group successfully went down the mountain.
Returned safely to the Northern Barbarian Camp.
The eldest prince and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Wanwan finally managed to successfully infiltrate the Northern Barbarian army and was completely relieved.
"Fairy, you will stay in my tent for the time being. I will go and tell my uncle that I am safe and then come to accompany you."
"Well, go ahead." Lin Wanwan nodded reasonably.
He returned to the camp smoothly.
Lin Wanwan clearly felt that Xiongta and others became much more humble and respectful towards her, and she was very satisfied.
After this incident.
She, Lin Wanwan, became the savior of the eldest prince and his entourage!
This favor was enough to allow her to gain a foothold in the Northern Barbarian Army.
The number of reinforcements from Cangzhou reached over a thousand people, and they were also supported by more than three thousand rioters from the Lin family.
Although Sate's 100-man squad was strong, they were still no match for the enemy.
"call out!"
Sate saw a flare fired from the direction of the military camp, which was a signal that the eldest prince had successfully returned.
He immediately retreated with less than half of his men.
The Lin family wants to press on with the victory, these are all military merits!
But he was stopped by Captain Liu.
"Don't chase after a desperate enemy! Take this captain to see the eldest prince immediately!"
Lin Wuchong immediately nodded and returned to the base with the reinforcements.
but.
Seeing the empty hostages and the killed mobs, Lin Wuchong and Lin Jingchen were completely dumbfounded.
The two of them were so nervous that their hearts were beating wildly!
Captain Liu also saw the situation and knew that the person had been rescued!
I'm so angry!
"A bunch of rubbish! You've got the credit, but someone else is running away! Go chase them!"
Seeing that the other party had no intention of killing them to vent their anger, Lin Wu Chong immediately led a search of the mountain.
But this time, they were never able to find the whereabouts of the Northern Barbarian Prince.
"It's over, the Northern Barbarian Prince must have gone down the mountain!"
Captain Liu's face turned pale, and he said to his subordinates: "Capture them all and bring them down the mountain!"
Having failed to capture the Northern Barbarian Prince, Captain Liu could only capture these people and bring them back to report to the commander.
Lin Wuchong was so disheartened at the moment that he didn't even notice that Lin Wanwan was missing.
When Bogda saw that his eldest nephew had finally returned safely, he first beat the naughty boy mercilessly, until his butt was so swollen that he couldn't get out of bed.
He also sent twice as many troops to heavily guard the eldest prince’s tent.
In order to vent his anger, he launched a fierce attack on Cangzhou City early the next morning.
After Captain Huang received the news that the Northern Barbarian Prince had escaped.
We have been on guard against retaliation from the Northern Barbarian Army.
But he didn't expect that Bogda's revenge would come so quickly!
this time.
Bogda personally led an army of 200,000 to attack the city.
The morale of all the Northern Barbarian armies is at an unprecedented high at this moment.
The war is about to begin!
Cangzhou Prefecture Government Office.
Cheng Zongyi paced back and forth in the lobby anxiously, sweat all over his face.
"Report! Sir, a batch of food and fodder has been sent from the capital!"
A yamen runner ran in hurriedly. The bluestone floor was covered with sweat from someone. He slipped and fell right in front of Cheng Zongyi.
Cheng Zongyi hurried forward to help the man up, feeling a little relieved, and carefully asked for details.
"Are you okay? Tell me more!"
The bailiff grimaced in pain, but his expression was still joyful.
"My Lord, the court officials have gathered 200,000 dan of grain and sent 10,000 Jinwu Guards to deliver the grain and fodder."
"The food and fodder have entered the city successfully!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zongyi finally felt relieved.
A few days ago, 100,000 shi of grain was sent from the capital, but it was robbed by a mysterious force.
He was really worried that another accident would happen!
fortunately!
His Majesty has sent 10,000 Jinwu Guards to escort the food!
With this batch of food.
Cangzhou Prefecture can at least hold on for a while.
"Quick, follow me and deliver the food and fodder to the barracks!"
Cheng Zongyi immediately arranged for the supply of food and fodder.
Some time ago, in order to resist the Northern Barbarians.
Cheng Zongyi had no choice but to raise food supplies from the common people, nobles and merchants in the city to supply the 200,000 troops in the city.
The food in the city is almost gone.
If there is no more food supply, I'm afraid the people in the city will be the first to cause chaos!
Cheng Zongyi transported the food and fodder to the military camp and placed them there.
He originally wanted the Jinwu Guards to stay and help defend the city.
However, the Jinwu Guards did not receive such an order and had to return to the capital immediately to report.
Cheng Zongyi had no choice but to give up and asked the Jinwu Guard to take the latest intelligence and memorials back to the capital.
Just sent away the Jinwu Guards.
The Northern Barbarian Army launched the most intense siege.
The tense battlefield on the front line made the people in the whole city panic.
More people did not dare to stay in the city for long and wanted to leave Cangzhou Prefecture quickly when the South Gate was opened.
However, the capital city would not allow Cangzhou Prefecture to release the people in the city at will, fearing that it would attract too many people to the capital city and cause uncontrollable disasters.
But the food supply in the city was decreasing.
The 200,000 dan of grain sent from the capital could not be distributed to the people, for fear that there would be a lack of subsequent food support and delays in military intelligence.
Cheng Zongyi turned a blind eye and allowed the people to take the opportunity to leave Cangzhou Prefecture to avoid the war.
People who don't want to leave.
Cheng Zongyi summoned strong laborers to rest and strengthen the city walls, take care of the injured soldiers and other logistical matters.
But the offensive of the Northern Barbarian Army was too fierce.
In just one morning, our army suffered 20,000 casualties.
Although the enemy suffered at least 30,000 casualties.
But they are the defenders and have a relative advantage.
Even so, they lost 20,000 soldiers!
This shows how powerful the Northern Barbarian soldiers are!
*
Capital city.
The emperor has woken up.
After he woke up, he heard that during the days he was unconscious, the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince dared to interfere in state affairs without his knowledge.
He also sent two batches of grain to Cangzhou, totaling 300,000 shi, which made him so angry that he vomited blood again.
But this time he was more resilient and did not faint again.
"Pass on my order. Immediately have the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother reflect on their mistakes behind closed doors! Without my permission, you are not allowed to step out of the palace!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Eunuch Liu, the chief eunuch of the imperial palace, immediately went to pass the message to the empress dowager and the crown prince.
When the emperor woke up, all the civil and military officials, who had been relatively relaxed, suddenly became tense.
Especially after hearing that His Majesty had put the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince in confinement together, their faces changed!
This move fully reveals the emperor's thoughts.
He didn't want Cangzhou to get supplies and support!
All officials knew what this meant!
During the morning court session the next day, all officials knelt down and begged His Majesty to revoke his order in such a united manner as never before!
But the emperor ignored the ministers' wishes and still refused to release the empress dowager and the prince.
He even killed a loyal old minister on the spot to make an example of him.
This move immediately made all the officials feel discouraged and they stopped trying to persuade the emperor.
A thought arose in their minds: why did His Majesty wake up!
The Queen Mother was imprisoned.
The one who reacted the most was her little grandson Xiao Yuxuan, the villain in the book.
When Xiao Yuxuan learned that his grandmother was imprisoned by the emperor, he immediately went to the palace to meet the emperor.
The emperor avoided him.
He ignored Xiao Yuxuan and knelt outside the hall for three days and three nights.
Only after she fell into a coma was she allowed to leave the palace.
After Xiao Yuxuan woke up, his temperament changed and he immediately made plans in secret.
Gu Mansion.
When Gu Changyao learned what the emperor did after waking up, the last bit of loyalty in his heart was completely killed.
Former Prime Minister Gu Lao was about to cry, but finally nodded and agreed that the Gu family should leave the capital and move south.
Gu Changfeng had already made all the preparations and was just waiting for his uncle to nod.
The entire Gu family left the capital before the city gates closed.
Gu Canghong was very happy to see that the Gu family had finally left the capital safely. He pretended to be calm and looked at Gu Changfeng and asked.
"Dad, where are we going?"
Gu Changfeng couldn't help laughing when he saw his son's eyes flashing with cunning.
"Where do you want to go?" Gu Changfeng asked deliberately.
Although Gu Canghong already knew that his father would go after the Su family.
But he was worried that his great-grandfather's family would disagree and have other ideas, so he was still a little uneasy.
He pursed his lips and said nothing, turning his head to look at his great-grandfather in silence.
The main reason is that he seldom comes into contact with people from the Gu family in Beijing, so he still feels a little unfamiliar with them.
Especially since his great-grandfather had been a prime minister and had an extraordinary aura, he was frightened.
As a junior, he would never dare to ask these questions.
Gu Changfeng couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw his son being humiliated.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Gu Changfeng comforted his son.
Upon hearing this, Gu Canghong pursed his lips and smiled with his eyes curved.
"I wonder where they went." He muttered.
At this moment, I wish I could have a pair of wings and fly to her side as soon as possible.
The Gu family is like a weather vane.
As the news of Gu Changyao's sudden resignation and his family's hasty departure from the capital spread, other officials could no longer sit still.
Including Shangshu Zhou.
Zhou Bowen also submitted his resignation and quickly left the capital and headed south with his wife and children.
Gu Changyao and Zhou Bowen were both important officials in the court, and other officials had no way of guessing what they were thinking.
But they are not stupid.
I can guess.
The two men's resignation and departure from the capital must be related to the war against the Northern Barbarians.
Many officials are eager to take action, but they dare not make hasty decisions.
Once they make a wrong decision, their glorious career as an official will come to an end.
*
After going through a lot of hardships, Su Changan and Li Jiao'e finally arrived in the capital.
But the two of them felt complicated and uneasy.
Because along the way.
They could only see the team leaving the capital and heading south, and they couldn't see anyone traveling with them at all.
Su Changan found out only after asking.
It turns out that the Northern Barbarian Army is already storming Cangzhou Prefecture, and may soon invade the capital!
The people in Beijing were trying every means to escape from the city.
But both of them have an obsession with the capital.
Especially Li Jiao'e.
She had to return to the capital no matter what.
"Husband, that's great, we've finally arrived in the capital. Come on, I want to live in a big courtyard, and have servants and maids to serve me. Let's go to the pawnshop and have a look~"
Li Jiao'e could not see the people rushing back and forth in the capital.
I only want to become a Beijinger.
Su Changan, however, had some thoughts of retreating.
Although he is a straightforward person, when it comes to his own personal safety, he definitely knows what to do to benefit himself.
He pushed Li Jiao'e away and said with a heavy face, "Shut up, let's find an inn to stay in first and see what happens."
"Okay, then let's stay at the best inn. We've been working so hard for so many days, and the baby in my belly is tired."
Li Jiao'e showed a smug smile on her face, as if she was already a superior person now.
This month's baby has been delayed for more than half a month, which means she is definitely pregnant, as she is always very accurate.
She was very satisfied.
Even for the sake of his son, Su Changan cannot treat her unfairly.
When Su Changan saw Li Jiao'e touching her belly, he had to swallow his words of refusal.
For the sake of his children, Su Changan booked the best guest room.
For the first time, Su Changan experienced what it felt like to be the master of his own house.
He has to do everything himself.
They will suffer for any unexpected place.
He deeply realized the difficulty of being the head of a family.
Come to the dental clinic.
Su Changan inquired carefully about a suitable house.
But he didn't expect that there were so many empty houses for sale in the capital!
And the price was more than half cheaper than he expected.
The inquiry took only half a day.
There were more than a dozen people who came to the pawnshop to sell their houses.
This made Su Changan feel extremely uneasy!
"It seems that what father said is right. Something might happen in the capital!"
Su Changan quickly made an excuse to leave the pawnshop and inquired for information along the way.
This inquiry frightened him so much that his legs went weak!
Not only are all kinds of survival supplies in the capital ridiculously expensive, but one in ten people in the capital have already fled south.
Even the two high-ranking officials from the Gu and Zhou families left Beijing in a hurry!
He hurried to Jingzhao Prefecture to look for Wang Fuyin.
But Wang Fuyin was busy with official duties and had no time to see him, so he sent Guo Zhubu to see him.
Zhubu Guo didn't expect to see someone from the Su family at this time.
He looked at Su Changan in surprise and asked, "Su Xiucai, why are you here? Didn't you leave with your father and the others?"
Su Changan felt a little embarrassed and didn't want to mention these embarrassing things.
He changed the subject and asked politely, "We came back to do something. I wonder if the chief clerk could tell me about the situation in the city?"
Guo Zhubu naturally knew what the other party wanted to know, so he told them everything he could.
It means to persuade him to leave quickly.
Su Changan returned to the guest room with a heavy heart.
Li Jiao'e came to Su Chang'an with the manners of a city dweller and poured tea for him.
"Husband, have some tea. How is the house you've found? I want a courtyard house. I won't agree to a house that's too small." Li Jiao'e asked impatiently.
Su Changan glanced at her and ignored her, saying, "Let's stay here for two more days, and then we'll leave immediately to chase our parents."
When Li Jiao'e heard this, her expression suddenly changed.
She didn't know what this man was doing!
After finally coming to the capital and settling down, he wanted to leave right away!
"Su Chang'an! What nonsense are you talking about! Why do you want to leave the capital? I don't agree!" Li Jiao'e shouted harshly.
When Su Changan saw her furious look, he felt annoyed.
He didn't know why he disobeyed his parents step by step for her. Every time he wanted to get rid of her, he would always give in at the last moment.
Otherwise he wouldn't be separated from his parents!
"You can stay if you want. I will leave on my own in two days." Su Changan didn't want to argue with her about these meaningless things, so he made the decision directly.
Li Jiao'e was like a possessed person. She beat and kicked Su Changan, but Su Changan still refused to give in.
She was shocked to realize that Su Changan was serious!
"Su Changan! You are not a man! Are you bullying me?"
Su Changan didn't notice that the look in her eyes when she looked at him was full of resentment!
At dawn.
After Li Jiao'e confirmed that Su Chang'an was asleep, she secretly took away the silver bills he had hidden in his coat.
She also wanted to take the silver bills from Su Chang'an's clothes, but she was worried about disturbing him.
Counted them.
The total amount was 1,500 taels of silver, which was quite satisfactory.
She glared at Su Changan fiercely, put on her clothes quietly, and left the guest room without hesitation.
Su Changan woke up.
I found out that Li Jiao'e was not in the room, so I asked the waiter and found out that she had left the inn at dawn.
He thought she had gone out to buy breakfast.
But after waiting for two hours, the other party did not come back.
Su Changan immediately realized that something was wrong!
He quickly put on his coat, casually touched the place where the silver bills were hidden, and found that it felt wrong!
After taking off his coat and inspecting it carefully, he discovered that all the banknotes hidden in the coat were gone!
They were the only two in the room.
He immediately realized that Li Jiao'e had stolen his silver and ran away!
"Li Jiao'e!"
Su Changan's face was distorted with anger!
"You bitch! Isn't our family good enough to you? How could you actually run away with the money?"
This time, Su Changan truly experienced what it felt like to be stabbed in the back!
No wonder parents, brothers and sister don’t like Li Jiao’e!
turn out to be!
They had already seen through the nature of that bitch!
He quickly took off his inner garment and checked it carefully. He found that the banknotes hidden in the inner garment were still there. He breathed a sigh of relief.
If all his wealth was stolen by that bitch, how would he survive in the future?
"What a cruel heart!"
"In order to stay in the capital, you are forcing me into a desperate situation!"
Su Changan didn’t think that Li Jiao’e had left him a way out!
If he would not wake up if someone touched him while he was sleeping, he believed that Li Jiao'e would definitely steal all the banknotes without leaving a single one behind!
Su Changan's eyes turned red with anger.
He slammed the table hard to vent his anger.
"In that case, don't blame me for being cruel!"
Su Changan checked out immediately and found that the carriage left to him by his parents had also been taken away by Li Jiao'e.
He has regained his composure now.
Go to the carriage and horse shop immediately to rent a carriage and horses.
I found that there was a shortage of horse-drawn carriages in the city and the prices were ridiculously expensive.
He could only spend one hundred taels to buy a poorer horse, take the dry food and water he had purchased, and leave the capital without stopping.
I hope I can catch up with my parents.
Li Jiao'e was very excited after leaving the inn.
She finally had some money in her hands!
A total of more than one thousand five hundred taels!
It was a huge sum of money she had never seen in her life!
I was extremely glad that I acted decisively.
As long as I have money in my hand, what does it matter if I leave Su Changan?
Are you still afraid of lack of men?
No one can stop her from living a superior life!
She immediately went to the brokerage firm and asked the servant to take her to see the house.
After finally finding a yard she liked, she couldn't wait to buy it.
But he found that he had forgotten to take the household registration documents that had been kept with Su Changan!
Without household registration documents, she couldn't buy a house at all.
She was so angry that she was shaking. She had no choice but to return to the inn to look for Su Changan.
Then she can explain that she just went out and bought a house on her own.
But when she returned to the inn, she found that Su Changan had already checked out and left!
There was no thought of looking for her or waiting for her at all!
Li Jiao'e was panicked.
But after searching for a long time, she couldn't find any trace of Su Changan.
Without a household registration, she couldn’t settle down in the capital, and couldn’t even rent a house or stay in an inn!
"Su Changan, you actually abandoned me like this!"
"You have such a cruel heart! You don't even want your own wife and children!"
“Woo woo woo!”
"Without a household registration, how am I supposed to survive in this capital city?"
