Chapter 1126: Grand Finale: Return of an Old Friend (34)
Shen Miao laughed: "You are so good at talking, why don't you go sing opera or tell stories?"
Luo Tan was very proud: "If I were to sing opera or tell stories, I would definitely be the best in the world."
Pei Lang saw how animatedly they were talking, so he shook his head and smiled, saying, "It'll be fine once we get through this period. I just hope the remnants of the rebellion don't cause any more trouble at this time."
Things don't always go as planned. Pei Lang's words accidentally came true two days later.
The more critical the moment, the more we cannot afford to make any mistakes. As long as we can survive this period, Xie Jingxing will come back and resolve the crisis in Longye. No matter whether it is the rebels or the thieves, they will disappear from the land of Daliang forever. From then on, Ming Qi and Qin will no longer exist, and there will only be one Daliang in the world. This prosperous country will fall into the hands of Xie Jingxing.
Even if they escape to the ends of the earth, these people will be like ants or stray dogs, and will never find peace.
They had never intended to leave alive from the beginning, otherwise they would not have attacked Longye. However, the prerequisite was to kill Shen Miao and the child in Shen Miao's belly, so that this life-and-death battle would be worth it. Now, seeing that time was passing, the people had failed to incite the people, and the royal family was stable, the rebels would also be anxious. They were eager to make the entire Longye a mess, so that Xie Jingxing would return to face a mess and the devastation of the tragic death of his wife and children.
So they launched a frenzied attack on Longye two days later.
Just as Pei Lang guessed, if something is abnormal, it must be something wrong. They made a detailed plan, which was originally arranged by Lu Maocai to force the emperor to abdicate, but now it was unexpectedly used to deal with this deserted imperial city.
But just as Shen Miao said, no matter what, their situation would not change at all.
Lu Maocai's plan had originally been for the Lu family soldiers to fight against the imperial guards. However, these remnants were not as brave as the Lu family soldiers, and the imperial guards were not as numerous as when Emperor Yongle was alive, so they could just draw a draw.
If the Imperial Guards were to be deployed to protect the people, there would naturally be fewer people in the palace. Shen Miao's situation was also extremely dangerous.
"Princess, why don't you call some more people back to the palace?" Eunuch Deng said, "It would be safer if there were more people in the palace now."
"One or two more people would be useless, and there's no one outside anyway. That's all." Shen Miao said, "Let's just leave it at that. We'll just have to hold out tonight. The bandits also need to rest and recuperate. If they can't defeat the city tonight, their morale will naturally drop by half. Tonight is the most tense time. After tonight, things will be much easier."
Aunt Tao was a little nervous: "But it sounds very worrying. And Princess, is the baby in your belly really okay?"
Shen Miao subconsciously touched her belly. Perhaps it was the mother-child bond that had made her feel the child's kicks and movements within her belly these past few days. However, tonight, it was very calm. She smiled and said, "He must have fallen asleep. He knows not to cause any disturbance at this time. He's been very well behaved."
Pei Lang said, "Since you've made up your mind, stay here. But you still need to be fully prepared. If anything goes wrong, have all the Mo Yu Army come and escort you to a safe place. Although we must defend the palace, human lives are the most important. Even if the people eventually learn that you've escaped, it was only at the last moment, so they won't blame you. After all, you still have to protect the royal bloodline."
Shen Miao nodded: "I think so too."
"Then everyone, cheer up," Luo Tan said. "This is a crucial night. We're all in the palace now, so we need to be united. You know, there's no hurdle we can't overcome. We're almost through the year, and these guys are just some nobodys. So why should we be afraid of them?"
