Zhu Yuao was stunned when he heard this, there has been no news from the imperial brother for many days, and the situation that Wang Yinghua said is not impossible, no, it should be very possible. If the royal brother really collapsed halfway...... Isn't it no different from waiting for death if you are still trapped in this Tianxing Mansion?

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and after a long time, he finally nodded blankly to Wang Yinghua and said: "Chongyan should be cautious about what he is worried about, Tianxing Mansion is already a dangerous place, and now he should think of retreating." ”

He was about to summon the commander of the palace to prepare for leaving Tianxing Mansion, when a eunuch came and said that the scholar He Wufu asked to see him.

"Your Highness, good news!" He Wuyu entered the study, hurriedly saluted, and said, "The holy car has left Tingzhou, and I can return to Tianxing Mansion in the near future!" ”

Zhu Yuao was stunned again, and exclaimed: "What He Gebu said is true?!" ”

"No lies!" He Wuyu signaled to the outside of the door, "The official has now entered the city and is heading here. Oh, the lower officials also heard that the Holy Lord sent five hundred elite cavalry to return first to help defend Tianxing Mansion. ”

Brother Huang is coming back? Zhu Yuao's expression seemed to be relaxed, but even he didn't notice that at this moment, a trace of regret faintly floated in his heart.

"Quick, follow me out of the house, and get ready to receive the order."

The holy decree was naturally dictated by Empress Zeng and written by Pang Tianshou. The content is very simple, only instructing the Tang Dynasty to stabilize the situation and appease the people, and the holy car will arrive at Tianxing Mansion on the same day, but the dragon body is sick, and all the officials do not need to go out to welcome Yunyun ceremoniously when they perform their duties.

Zhu Yuao knelt down to receive the holy decree, and hurriedly asked the official who passed the decree, how many troops the emperor brought back to Tianxing Mansion this time.

"Back to His Royal Highness, under the command of Huang Mingjun and the Huang Pavilion Department, as well as the Su Pavilion Department and Jiang General Army, there are more than 3,000 elite soldiers."

Three thousand?! When Zhu Yuao heard this, he suddenly felt that the sky was falling, and only then did he learn that the imperial brother had returned to the palace, he thought that there should be 80,000 if there were not 100,000 accompanying troops, but he didn't expect that there were only 3,000 people!

Why do people stick to Tianxing Mansion at this point? Zhu Yuao's heart suddenly shrank suddenly, could it be that the imperial brother wants to emulate Chongzhen and die in the society? !

He let the angel settle down, and returned to his palace in a panic, but his mind was full of the imminent arrival of an army of 40,000 soldiers, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still felt that it was better to lead the palace guards to abandon the city, and he did not dare to violate the holy will.

He was hesitating and unsettled, when he heard a noisy sound outside the palace, he hurriedly sent someone to check, and after a while, the person returned, and reported that someone was preaching everywhere in Tianxing Mansion, saying that Tang Wangjian swore to live and die with Tianxing Mansion, and would guard the capital with the people of the city, and he would not hesitate to die! Teach the people of the city to stay at home, and the captives will retreat.

The people of Tianxing Mansion were extremely impressed when they heard this, and spontaneously wept in front of Tang Wang's Mansion and couldn't thank them, refusing to leave for a long time.

Zhu Yuao sighed in his heart, and was guessing who was "singing praises and praises" for him, He Wuyu hurried over again, and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, the five hundred elite horsemen sent back by the Holy Lord blocked the city gate and forbade any officials to go out of the city. Fang Xingding Bo led the crowd to leave the city, and that team directly beheaded more than ten of his family members! ”

Zhu Yuao's eyelids jumped suddenly, and he was shocked in his heart, is the imperial brother trying to pull the officials of the city to die with him? !

It seems that there is no way to leave Tianxing Mansion at the moment. He hurriedly instructed He Wusu to recruit people in the city, collect folk farm tools, pots and pots to melt iron, build weapons, and send people to raise military salaries from the gentry to prepare to defend the city.

After He Wuyu took the order and left, Zhu Yuao felt that in the face of the main force of 40,000 Jianyu, no matter how much he prepared, it would definitely be a dead end, and he only did his best.

He was anxious for a while, restless, always feeling that he should do something, but he didn't know what to do. He paced back and forth in the courtyard of the palace for several days, and all the big and small matters in the court were left to He Wusu and Wang Yinghua and others to deal with.

On another day, Wang Yinghua reported to the Tang Mansion with his mansion.

Zhu Yuao unfolded the newspaper and read it roughly, and suddenly his face was like ashes, only to see that it was written that the Boluo striker had reached the valley mouth, and there was almost no resistance along the way, and the magistrate looked down on the wind.

He immediately wanted to mention the abandonment of the city again, but before he could open his mouth, a eunuch came to report that Su Guansheng Su led more than 1,000 troops to Tianxing Mansion and had now entered the city.

"Su Guansheng?" Zhu Yu hurriedly asked, "Have you ever been with the Holy Driver?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, I haven't heard anyone mention the matter of the holy car, when only Lord Su came to Tianxing Mansion."

Wang Yinghua was puzzled: "Your Highness, how could this Su Pavilion Department lead the troops to accompany him, how could he come back alone first?" ”

"The will of the Divine is unpredictable." Zhu Yuao shook his head and said, "However, Su Gebu is an old man whom the king met when he was in Nanyang, and when he settles down, you will find out if you ask him." ”

As the two were talking, the eunuch came again, "Your Highness, Su Guansheng Su University asks to see you." ”

"Oh?" Zhu Yuao and Wang Yinghua glanced at each other first, and instructed him, "The head of the garden should avoid it first." ”

"Yes."

Only then did Zhu Yuao turn to the eunuch and raise his hand to signal, "Invite him in." ”

After a while, Su Guansheng entered the study of King Tang, and first attached himself to make a big salute, "The lower official pays a visit to His Royal Highness the King of Tang." ”

"Yulin, please get up." Zhu Yuao hurriedly helped him up, but saw that he looked like a servant, and he seemed to have come here directly before returning to the house to change his clothes.

"Your Highness has always been good?" Su Guansheng seemed to want to say hello.

Where did Zhu Yuao have the heart to chat, and said hurriedly: "Yu Lin can know what the Holy Lord's plan is for the situation in Tianxing Mansion?" ”

Su Guansheng said unhurriedly: "I take stability as the priority, and I will wait for my ears." ”

"Holy ......" Zhu Yuao almost blurted out the word "confused", and hurriedly changed his words, "Holy fallacy!" The main force of thieves is 40,000, Tianxing Mansion is an empty city, how to defend it? Lord Su should advise the saint that it is appropriate to move into Jiangxi! ”

"Your Highness, don't worry." Su Guansheng smiled slightly, "This Tianxing Mansion is really guarded." ”

Zhu Yuao stared at him in surprise and waited for the next step.

Su Guansheng looked around left and right and said, "Your Highness, is it convenient to speak here?" ”

Zhu Yuao immediately retired from the eunuchs and maids, and said, "Yulin can talk about himself. ”

Su Guansheng nodded slightly, "Your Highness doesn't know, at this time, King Chen led nearly 20,000 elite soldiers to bypass the back of the captive army and was heading towards Xianxia Pass. ”

"Xianxia Pass?" Zhu Yuao was confused, "Why don't you return to Tianxing Mansion with 20,000 troops?!" ”

Su Guan had heard Huang Mingjun tell him about King Chen's Fujian strategy a few days ago, and at this time, he was now learning and selling: "The captive army seems to be powerful, but in fact, it has committed a taboo in soldiers. From Xianxia Pass into Fujian to attack Tianxing Mansion, the long drive straight into more than 800 miles, grain and grass are all from Xianxia Pass. ”

He raised his hand and shook it hard, "If our army takes Xianxia Pass, there will be no way to help the thieves with grain and rice." This is May, when the green and yellow are not harvested, where can Bolo get food? In less than half a month, the thief army will inevitably run out! ”"
