Chapter 355 Defending the City
"Oh no, you'd better take the Chidan Army away quietly. The Chidan Army and the Taoyao Army are naturally incompatible and cannot cooperate with each other." Zhu Huaizhen thought for a long time and sighed softly.
"Zhen'er, if I take away the Chidan Army, and the Emperor of Southern Yan sends his troops over, Jiangcheng will be powerless to resist. Besides, you have already fooled the Emperor of Southern Yan once. He will not care about the treasures of the Great Zhou on you. He will definitely torture you madly, not to mention threatening me." Princess Rongyang Zhu Huaishu was frightened as she spoke, and immediately held Zhu Huaizhen's hand.
Zhu Huaizhen fell into Zhu Huaishu's arms and said softly, "Big sister, even if you don't believe me, you have to believe in the strength of the Taoyao Army. Besides, Jiangcheng can attract the attention of the Southern Yan army. If you recapture Macheng and Yangcheng, you will be more at ease."
"Zhen'er, the Taoyao Army doesn't believe you." Zhu Huaishu sighed helplessly.
Her good sister, who obviously has great talent, just wants to be a fool.
"Besides, you are not Princess Pingyang, and you are not the God of War." Zhu Huaishu continued with a frown.
"Big sister, then I will guard the city and stay indoors." Zhu Huaizhen stretched out his soft fingertips and stroked Zhu Huaishu's brow.
So, Zhu Huaishu was worried for a few days, while Zhu Huaizhen was relaxed and contented.
Orioles chirp at dawn in the jade trees of Jinling, flowers bloom early in the Qinhuai waterside pavilions. Who knew the ice would melt so easily? I watched him build his red mansion, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his mansion collapse. Here, amidst the mossy, blue tiles, I once slept in a dreamlike state; I've witnessed fifty years of rise and fall. No one in Wuyi Lane is surnamed Wang, ghosts cry at Mochou Lake, and owls roost on Phoenix Terrace. Dreams of the ruined mountains are the most real, the old land hard to lose. I don't believe this map is changing manuscripts. I'll compose a lament for Jiangnan, and sing it until I grow old.
After listening to "Peach Blossom Fan" over and over again, Zhu Huaishu was both amused and helpless.
However, what makes Zhu Huaishu sad is that no one in Taoyao Army is willing to be part of Zhu Huaizhen's opera troupe.
Fortunately, Lou Li's injuries gradually improved.
With Lou Li guarding Zhu Huaizhen, Zhu Huaishu felt a little more at ease.
When Zhu Huaishu decided to leave Jiangcheng with the Chidan, Fancheng, and Yicheng armies, he still went to check on Zhu Huaizhen out of concern. Zhu Huaizhen was found reclining on a black lacquer, gold-painted, and colorfully painted beauty couch surrounded by scrolls of poetry and paintings, fanning himself with a rosewood-handled fan embroidered with pomegranates, cats, and butterflies, his posture languid as that of a Persian cat.
The sun and moon hang in the sky at dawn and dusk, and spirits wield the power of life and death. Heaven and earth, supposed to distinguish between the clear and the turbid, yet how could they have confused Dao Zhi and Yan Yuan? Those who do good suffer poverty and a shorter life, while those who commit evil enjoy wealth and longevity. Heaven and earth, seemingly coveting the strong and bullying the weak, yet they also seem to go along with the tide. Earth, if you can't distinguish between good and evil, what are you called Earth? Heaven, you misjudge the wise and the foolish, unworthy of being Heaven! Alas, all I can do is shed tears.
Zhu Huaizhen listened to "The Injustice of Dou E" again and enjoyed it very much.
By the way, Zhu Huaizhen begged Qiu Niang for a long time before he got her a bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Sugar-heart abalone, pineapple sea cucumber, white shark lips, young deer tendons, claw meat, golden shark fin, ivory clam meat, spider fish glue, quail eggs, ham, pork ribs, clean winter bamboo shoots, king oyster mushrooms, chrysanthemum mushrooms, wild pine mushrooms, morels, snow bamboo fungus, Shaoxing wine, eighteen ingredients, eighteen delicious flavors. The moment you lift the lotus leaf covering the jar, the rich meaty aroma is so fragrant that even a Buddha would jump over the wall.
Zhu Huaishu strode forward, hugged Zhu Huaizhen, and lowered his voice: "Zhen'er, don't hold on. If you can't defend Jiangcheng, take the opportunity to escape. I can't control others, but I want you to live a life of wealth and glory forever."
"Sister, if others hear this, they will probably be disappointed." Zhu Huaizhen smiled innocently.
How could Zhu Huaizhen fail to defend the city?
She has more than just the Taoyao Army.
