Chapter 3516 Military Token!
"Remember, if you want to leave, you can."
She slowly raised her hand, which had been casually resting on the armrest of the chair, and gripped it. A hint of solemnity and killing aura emanated from her entire body.
"But those who leave can never come back."
The expressions of the maids and servants also changed.
Indeed, although they had just clamored to go out, no one had thought that if they really went out, if they really encountered the Vietnamese people coming to kill them, that would be a dead end.
If we really stay here, at least, there is still a glimmer of hope.
Several people who were ready to make a move were suddenly speechless.
Some people still said worriedly: "But, we only have so few people here. If the Yue people really come in, how long can these people hold out?"
This time, before Nan Yan could speak, Ruo Shui immediately said, "Do you still need to worry about such a small matter?"
“…”
"The one sitting here is none other than the Imperial Concubine!"
“…”
"Can His Majesty allow the Yue people to invade the city and harm the Empress? As long as the Empress is still here, His Majesty will definitely send someone to rescue us! If you leave, there will be no chance of survival for you!"
After hearing this, everyone seemed to feel reassured.
But someone still asked hesitantly, "Your Majesty, will you really send someone?"
Nan Yan smiled faintly and said, "Don't tell me, am I not afraid of death?"
“…”
"Since I have the audacity to gather you all together, and since you dare to stay here, I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will definitely find a way to send someone to rescue me."
“…”
"By then, you too will be unharmed."
After hearing what she said, everyone finally felt relieved.
Those who had been rude to Nan Yan out of panic just now were now a little timid, fearing that the imperial concubine would remember their rude behavior and settle the score with them later, so they all huddled in the corner, wishing they could bury their faces in the ground.
Therefore, no one noticed that when the imperial concubine breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in her chair, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
Aunt Tongyun sensed Nanyan's nervousness and leaned down cautiously: "Your Majesty..."
Nan Yan whispered, "I'm fine."
Although she said so, she did conceal it very well. However, only those who were close to her could feel that Nan Yan was not as calm as she appeared at this moment.
Ruoshui didn't understand why, having been able to convince the frightened palace maids, eunuchs, servants, and servants below, they were so nervous at this moment. So she whispered in her ear, "Madam, won't the Emperor send someone to rescue us?"
She paused, then continued in an irrefutable, firm tone, "Your Majesty will definitely not put Your Majesty in danger."
“…”
"So, the emperor will definitely send someone!"
Nan Yan looked up at her.
In the pitch-black night, Nan Yan's face, even illuminated by the crimson lanterns in the corridor, showed an unconcealable paleness. She whispered, "Of course the Emperor will send someone over."
“…”
"only--"
"Just what?"
"only,"
Nan Yan looked towards the dark sky in the distance, her voice a little distant: "Will they make it in time?"

In the darkness of night, a horseman was moving forward quickly like an arrow flying through the darkness, leaving behind an imperceptible trail of dust, which soon dissipated into the darkness as the horse's hooves went away.
The one riding on the horse at full speed was Li Bushang.
His expression was resolute, even with a hint of solemnity, his eyes passed through the dark night, and gradually, he saw the firelights of the Taining Guard and Fuyu Guard camps stationed ahead. However, his eyes seemed to see through the little light in the night and looked at a place farther away.
However, the people from Taining and Fuyuwei immediately discovered him.
In fact, these people also stayed up all night. The news of the attack on the north of Yongzhou City had already reached them. However, without the emperor's order, they could not act rashly even if the situation was urgent.
But they also believed that the emperor would not sit idly by.
In terms of distance, mobilizing them to Yongzhou City is the most effective method.
Sure enough, in the quiet of the night, they heard the sound of hurried horse hooves ahead. Several soldiers guarding the camp immediately came forward with torches in hand. The light of the torches illuminated Li Bushang's Feiyu uniform, and they immediately shouted, "Commander Li is here!"
Soon, a loud noise was heard in the quiet camp.
Li Bu Shang dismounted without waiting for his horse to stop. Several soldiers immediately came forward to take the reins he threw. Li Bu Shang only asked, "Where are the two commanders?"
The soldiers said, "It's inside the tent."
He stopped talking and strode in.
Inside the big tent, Commander Temuer of Taining Guard and Commander Gao Xiang of Fuyu Guard were standing in front of a map of Yongzhou City and talking about something. When they heard Commander Li had arrived, they immediately turned around and the three of them bowed to greet him.
Temuer said: "Commander Li, why are you here tonight——"
Li Bushan, perhaps exhausted from his recent gallop, was breathing heavily. His voice trembled slightly as he spoke, "You two should already know that the Yue people launched a surprise attack tonight north of Yongzhou City. His Majesty has decided to send you two to lead your troops to provide assistance."
The two exchanged a glance and said, "We also know that at this time and distance, we should indeed enter Yongzhou City, protect the Empress, and then go to Beicheng to provide assistance."
Li Bushang said: "No."
The solution that Temuler and Gao Xiang had just discussed was rejected by him with just one word, and both of them were stunned.
After all, they had followed Zhu Feng in battles for many years and were very familiar with Zhu Feng's habits of deploying troops. In the past, they often had a tacit understanding on strategy. Could it be that this time, they had guessed the emperor's thoughts wrong?
Gao Xiang said, "Commander Li, isn't that what the Emperor ordered?"
Li Bushang said, "The Emperor does want you two to enter Yongzhou City, but not to protect the Imperial Concubine. He wants you two to go to the north of the city to provide assistance."
The two looked at each other and frowned.
Could it be that they really guessed the emperor's thoughts wrong?
Temuer thought for a moment and said, "We want to see the Emperor's written order."
Li Bushang looked at them and said, "The Emperor didn't give me any instructions."
Temuer and Gao Xiang immediately frowned and were about to say something when Li Bushan pulled something out of his pocket and said in a deep voice, "But you two should know this."
The two of them looked and saw a pitch-black object emitting a dark golden light in his hand.
Military talisman!
