Tu Yufan rested for a while, and then continued his attack on the capital. The male protagonist Chen Yu was too hasty in usurping the throne, and Tu Yufan provoked disputes everywhere. Not only did he have to resist Tu Yufan's attack, but he also had to quell the civil strife. In the past century, half of his hair has turned white.
The eunuch in charge came in a hurry and said, "Your Majesty, the front line has reported that Jiaxiang Pass has been breached, General Xiao Yan has died for his country, and 10,000 elite soldiers have been wiped out, and no one has survived."
Jiaxiang Pass is the most dangerous pass leading to the capital. Once it is breached, the entire capital will be exposed, and there will be no natural barrier to resist Tu Yufan's army.
Emperor Xiang was anxious and angry: "When will that old thing die? He has lived enough for so many centuries!"
The palace maids and eunuchs knelt down one after another.
The chief eunuch had a bitter face, his godfather passed away when he was in his teens, which was considered old. But I heard that Jiang Yufan was already in his sixties, and it was outrageous that he could still wield a gun at this age.
There was no one in the palace who did not hope that Jiang Yufan would die soon, but he would not die. He was always the first to rush into every battle, which greatly boosted morale. Coupled with the help of artillery, the siege was unstoppable.
The old minister suggested: "Your Majesty, Jiang Yufan always leads the troops into battle personally. Why don't you also go into battle in person to boost morale? Now the enemy is almost at the gates of the city, so we can only fight to the death."
Others quickly said, "No, Your Majesty has not yet decided on the successor, so you can't risk putting yourself in danger."
The two sides argued for a long time without reaching a conclusion, but when Emperor Xiang heard that the crown prince had not yet been decided, he took it to heart.
He wanted the Second Prince to be the Crown Prince, but unfortunately the Second Prince had the blood of the Jiang family. He hated the Jiang family to the core, so how could he let him become the Crown Prince?
"Your Majesty, the nanny who took Miss Liu Ying away has been found."
Miss Liu Ying is General Ruiyang's youngest daughter and Emperor Xiang's childhood sweetheart. He has been sending people to look for her, but unfortunately in this chaotic world, finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and he is now unable to take care of himself.
"Bring her in."
Emperor Xiang was silent for a moment, then asked someone to bring the nanny in.
Nanny was in her thirties when she took Liu Ying away. She is almost in her teens now. She is not as strong as before and she even walks a little unsteadily.
"Your Majesty."
Emperor Xiang got straight to the point: "Is Miss Liu Ying still alive?"
Mammy was stunned for a moment, and then her confused mind recalled what happened long ago. She took the young lady and fled. Later, in order to lead away the pursuers, she gave the young lady to a farmer and ran in the opposite direction. She thought she was going to die, but she was still alive and well.
"I don't know. I have already given him to a farmer."
"Which farmer?"
I remember that they were from Shuigou Village. There were two sons in the family. Later, I took a boat in the opposite direction to Bianshui. Then, due to the war, I drifted around with everyone else. I don’t know how the young lady is doing. "
A trace of longing flashed across Mammy's eyes. The young lady was the general's youngest daughter and the only survivor. She prayed every moment that the young lady was still alive.
Shuigou Village!
Emperor Xiang opened his eyes wide and seemed to be unsteady. He sat down on the chair in a hurry, with the corners of his mouth trembling slightly.
Aying is the Liu Ying he has been looking for!
