Empress in Golden Age - C1021
“Newspaper!” The voice of soldiers’ eagerness suddenly sounded outside. Wang Bao went to the door. After a while, he hurried back to Yu Heng and said in a low voice: “Your Highness, some spies have reported that they found an army more than 200 miles away from Jinling. There are a lot of people.”
Yu Heng’s face changed, “Xiao Jun?”
“Yes Wang Bao nodded, “according to the estimated distance, we should arrive at Jinling in ten days.”
Yu Heng lowered his head and bit the fingernails of his index finger, a habit he had since childhood. When he was nervous, he would bite his fingernails involuntarily, which has changed a lot in recent years.
After a while, Yu Heng realized what he was doing, put down his finger and said, “I know. Let the spies keep staring at me and give me back at any time.”
After Wang Bao went out to spread a message, Yu huaiyou said in a voice: “brother, what should we do now?”
Yu Heng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, “soldiers come to block him, water comes to drown him. There will always be a way. Don’t worry about it.”
“But…” Without waiting for Yu Huai to go on, Yu Heng said, “OK, elder brother will deal with it. You can take good care of yourself. When it’s over, elder brother will call famous doctors all over the world to see a doctor for you, and you will be cured.”
“I want to help you!” In order to avoid constant to stop again, these four words to Huai said fast.
To constant Leng for a while, doubt way: “help me what?”
“We all know that emperor Xiao came to Jinling, but now his father, his mother and his concubines are out, so Jinling can only be guarded by us now, and can never fall into the hands of thieves.”
“As I said just now, big brother will deal with it. What you have to do now is…” Without waiting for Yu Heng to finish, Yu Huai said excitedly: “elder brother knows how many guards Jinling has, and I also know that even if there are favorable places and people, it is difficult to compete with more than one hundred and two hundred thousand troops. It’s not easy to keep them. Although I don’t have much ability, I can do my best. Besides, one person counts the short and two the long. Maybe we can come up with a good way. ”
Yu Heng sighed: “of course I know what you said, but your body…”
Yu Huai knows what he is worried about. “Doctor Ji has said that I have at least a few months to live. It’s too late to rest after this time.” See to constant don’t speak, he again way: “otherwise, I promise elder brother, you let me rest, I rest, never contradict.”
Seeing that Yu Huai had made up his mind, Yu Heng only said, “this is what you said. If you don’t listen, you are not allowed to participate in this matter any more.”
Give Huai straightforward promise, “a deal.”
“Innocence Empress Dowager Chen touched the slightly bleeding wound on her neck and spat angrily. Yu Huai came up to her and said in a cold voice, “don’t think that if you have the identity of empress dowager, no one can touch you. People are doing, and the sky is watching. It’s not that good and evil are unrequited, it’s just that the time has not come.”
To change the way he taught her before, Empress Dowager Chen would refute. But this time, she didn’t dare. I don’t know whether it was because of the wound on her neck or Give a cold look to the extreme.
When Yu Heng came out of zongrenfu, he put all his energy on the coming Xiao Jun, counting the soldiers, food and grass, and arranging the guard of the city gate. He was so busy that he often only slept two hours a day. As for Yu Huai, he didn’t have the East Palace, but lived in the king’s house of Qi to help him cope with the coming fierce battle.
The Imperial Army and the soldiers outside the city of Jinling are less than 40000 in total. They have enough food and grass for the first half of the year. Yu Heng still has the confidence to change other armies. But Xiao Ruo Ao has the secret of guns and guns. Even if he only has 70% or 80%, it’s terrible enough. And he has been hiding in Nanling for so many years, no one knows whether it has been solved The shortcomings of muskets and artillery; if solved, they will face greater pressure.
Wang Hu strides into his study and respectfully says to Yu Heng who is lying on his desk: “Your Highness, all the soldiers have gathered and are waiting for your highness at any time.”
“How far is Xiao Jun from us?” Yu Heng asked without raising his head. In front of him, there was a map of Jinling. There were four gates in Jinling. If any gate was broken, the city would be destroyed. Therefore, every gate must be guarded.
Wang Hu said in a deep voice: “there are still more than 20 Li.”
“That is to say One day, they will arrive at Jinling? ” When he said this, Yu Heng could not help biting his index finger. Only in this way could he keep calm.
Wang Hu said helplessly: “if there’s no accident – it’s like this. ”
” what happened to the message I asked you to pass? ”
“I have told the generals that I am willing to follow your highness and I will not change my life and death. Besides…” He took a look at Yu Heng and said in a low voice, “I don’t know how old Su Wang Ye knows. We have to work together.”
“Nonsense!” Yu Heng yelled and scolded: “the emperor’s uncle is at this age. How can he stand the trouble? Who passed it on?”
“I don’t know my humble position.” Then he knelt down and said, “Your Highness, please take your humble brothers.”
Yu Heng is slightly stunned, “you?”
“Yes.” Wang Hu said firmly: “humble brothers have the same meaning – willing to follow your highness in life and death!”Yu Heng sighed and looked at him with soft eyes. “Aren’t you afraid?”
“The humble brothers are all alone, and there’s nothing to be afraid of.” With that, he bowed his head to the ground and said word by word, “Your Highness, please do it!”
Yu Heng said helplessly: “this step I have taken is a near death. Why do you join in the fun? There is only one life.”
“Your Highness, please do it!” Wang Hu didn’t say anything, just repeated what he said just now.
Yu Heng got up and helped him up. Wen Yan said, “since you’ve all thought about it, I’ll just promise.”
Wang Hu happily said: “thank you, your highness.”
Yu Heng nodded, “while there’s still time, go to check the hands and weapons again. In addition, remember that this matter must be hidden from his second highness, never let him know.”
“I understand, but…” Wang Hu looked at him with hesitation.
“Say what you want.”
“Excuse me, if your Highness has any problems this time, and the second highness is suffering from a terminal disease, what should Da Zhou do?”
Yu Heng’s face darkened, and then he said with a smile: “if you survive, you will be blessed. I believe that the second younger brother will be able to make good fortune and live a long life.”
“But…”
“No, but in a word, I have to do it. Do you understand?”
Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Wang Hu had to nod his head and promise, “I understand. I’m sure I’ll do my best to keep your highness safe.”
“Good.” Yu Heng nodded with a smile.
That night, the soldiers in charge of guarding the South Gate found Xiao Jun in the mirror. They were only a few miles away from Jinling. They came faster than they thought.
