Six years after the suspended animation, the father of the cub caught up with him

Chapter 317 The Fall of Three Cities

They just stepped through the door of the imperial study when they heard urgent voices from inside.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong. Linzhou, Pingzhou, and Xiangzhou have fallen."

"what?"

Nan Shi staggered when he heard this.

"What's going on?" he said angrily.

"Reporting to the emperor, these three cities were jointly captured by the Dongli Kingdom and the Beihan Kingdom yesterday. All the people and soldiers were captured, and the few remaining soldiers and horses retreated to the same state overnight. This is The battle situation passed down from the pigeons of the same state."

General Jiang Tai spoke sadly.

He was the one who almost fell outside just now.

"Qinglin, hurry up, quickly bring the letter to me." Nan Shi said urgently.

Eunuch Qinglin hurried over to get the letter, and then presented it.

Chu Baihan is here, her mind is in a mess.

The three cities that fell were all towers in the east, very close to the East Li Kingdom.

Over the years, the East Li Kingdom has been eyeing it, and has always wanted to annex the land of the South Duan Kingdom.

But because the soldiers of the three towers resisted with all their strength, the other side never succeeded.

"Why now, why are people from the Northern Cold Country intervening? What's going on?" She kept murmuring.

Beihan Country is at the northernmost point, thousands of miles away from Dongli Country.

Moreover, Yan Kingdom and other countries were separated from Nanduan Country and Beihan Country.

Over the years, Beihan Country and Nanduan Country have hardly had any negotiations.

Why is the Beihan Congress eyeing the South Country?
"Why are the three cities so fragile that no news came until they fell?" Chu Baihan's temples were in severe pain.

When did the soldiers of Nanduan Kingdom become so vulnerable?

Although the Eastern Li Country is very strong, the Northern Han Country is a bloody nomadic country. Together, the two countries will surely be invincible.

But she couldn't figure out why those three city towers were smashed in one blow?
The capital of Nanduan Kingdom is very close to the east, and those three cities are the frontier defense line, and Tongzhou...is the last line of defense.

If Tongzhou is also defeated, the enemy army can drive straight in and attack the capital.

The scene was also a little dazed, "Why is the opponent so aggressive?"

"King Xu." At this moment, Yan Lin spoke in a deep voice.

"Uncle Xu Huang?"

Chu Baihan looked up in shock.

She got it!

All of this is wrong, all because of Uncle Xu Huang!
Over the years, Nanduan Kingdom's wars have focused on the west and northwest, because these two places have been attacked by Xiliang all the year round and there have been many wars.

Although there are wars in the east, because there are [-] soldiers and horses guarding there, they are just small fights.

"Half of the [-] troops managed by Uncle Xuhuang are mainly concentrated in the east." Chu Baihan murmured.

"In the past, I thought that even if Uncle Xu wanted to seize the throne, it would be just an internal struggle. I didn't expect him to join forces with foreign enemies this time." She smiled wryly.

She underestimated the enemy...

After negotiating with Uncle Xu Huang for so many years, it was about to be ruined.

She didn't expect Uncle Xu Huang to be so ruthless that he would join forces with foreign enemies.

It never occurred to them that the North Cold Country would intervene.

Over there, Nan Shi looked at the words on the secret letter and heard Chu Baihan's words, he staggered a bit.

"Why is this..." He whispered in despair.

At this time, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army walked in quickly, and he said anxiously: "Your Majesty, King Xu has disappeared."

"What? Didn't I let you watch him?" Nan Shi was so angry that his heart ached.

"Emperor, Your Majesty, you did let us watch King Xu. But you also said, don't let King Xu suffer in prison. So when the maidservant of Prince Xu's mansion came to deliver food, we didn't stop us. Who knew that the maid She was actually a master, she changed clothes with King Xu, and then King Xu escaped."

"You, you..."

Nan Shi was so angry that his fingers were shaking.

"Father, Uncle Xu Huang can escape because of you." Chu Bai called An and raised his head, his eyes were cold.

From the moment she heard Wuming say that her father hadn't decided how to deal with Uncle Xu Huang when he came to court this morning, she knew that her father...had softened his heart.

Once the emperor's heart softened, the guards in that day's jail would no longer be strong.

"Han'er, I, I..."

Nan Shi looked at Chu Baihan, he was a little at a loss.

"Wu Ming, go and see what's going on." Chu Baihan pressed the aching brows, and she spoke wearily to Wu Ming behind her.

"Yes, princess."

Nameless quickly ran out.

He came back after a while, and he quickly replied: "Princess, when King Xu escaped, he was discovered by the guards of the East Palace and Wuji, who seriously injured him. However, many experts suddenly appeared and rescued him."

"The poison, did you pour it on him?" Chu Baihan continued to ask in a cold voice.

"Last night, Wuji personally put the medicine in King Xu's meal, and saw him eat it himself." Wuming quickly replied.

that's good...

Only then did Chu Baihan's frowning eyebrows relax slightly.

She ordered in a cold voice: "Right now, seal the gates of the city, not a single fly can fly out. Uncle Xu Huang was poisoned and seriously injured. They must have no time to escape from the city."

"Yes, Eldest Princess. The Crown Prince has already ordered people to guard the city gate, and now our people are searching inside the city." Wuming said hastily.

Jiang Tai looked at Chu Baihan excitedly: "Eldest Princess, so you and His Royal Highness have already made preparations!"

"Uncle Xuhuang agreed to go to the prison so easily and was willing to hand over the military talisman. It is too suspicious and we have to be on guard. Of course, if everyone is as soft-hearted as the father, Uncle Xuhuang would have run away long ago .” Chu Baihan sarcastically said.

When she said this, the entire imperial study room was dead silent.

The servant and the generals all looked terrified.

Is the eldest princess blaming the emperor?

Although the emperor may be at fault for this matter, but he is the emperor, the eldest princess dares to accuse her father.

Several people looked at Chu Baihan worriedly, fearing that she would be punished.

But Nan Shi didn't mean to punish her, he just sat down on the dragon chair in embarrassment, and then laughed at himself: "It's my soft heart that almost made a big mistake again, it's my fault."

As he spoke, he began to pat his heart.

"Your Majesty, the dragon's body is important." Qing Lin and others said worriedly.

But Chu Baihan's eyes were not moved at all.

She really gave up on her father.

"Hurry up, send people to Tongzhou quickly, and we must stop the soldiers and horses of Dongli Kingdom and Beihan Kingdom." Taking a deep breath, Nan Shi spoke anxiously.

"King Xu still has a lot of soldiers and horses in Tongzhou, Your Majesty, even if you send someone to rush there right now, it will be too late." At this moment, Yan Lin said indifferently.

"Come on, is it too late?" Nan Shi's face was ashen.

Could it be that Nanduan Kingdom is about to be destroyed in his hands?

Although Chu Baihan's heart was very heavy, she suddenly thought of something, she quickly turned her head to look at Yan Lin: "Have you made preparations?"

All of this seemed to be within his expectations.

"Well, the king felt that there was movement in Xu Wang's mansion a few days ago, so he transferred everyone from the Tang Sect to guard in Tongzhou. Also, the [-] soldiers and horses of Yan Kingdom have already assembled in Qingzhou. Qingzhou is very close to Tongzhou. It's faster than rushing over in the capital." Yan Lin said in a deep voice.
