Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 343
However, when the prince was high-spirited, stood up straight, waved his broad sleeves, and spoke impassionedly, a scout suddenly came to report: "... is coming... The King of Shaozhou, with more than [-] remaining soldiers, is heading straight towards our Jiangzhou. It’s coming, and it will arrive tomorrow morning at the latest!”

Tens of thousands of remnants!

Head straight to Jiangzhou!

This was like a bolt from the blue, exploding in everyone's hearts!
Just now, when everyone was explaining the situation to the prince, they had said that there were two threats to Jiangzhou City, one was the Yan army, and the other was the King of Shaozhou.

Because the king of Shaozhou rebelled and the Yan army invaded the border at the same time, these two incidents must be related.

Ten days ago, Zhu Xiuyuan and the others had analyzed that if the King of Shaozhou wanted to flee Yan State, he would definitely take Jiangzhou.

Because from the perspective of the territory, Jiangzhou is a sunken piece.

In other words, it is the road to Yan State via Jiangzhou, which is much closer!
And now, the King of Shaozhou is indeed here!

Head straight to Jiangzhou.

With more than ten thousand remnants.

After ten days, Jiangzhou tried its best to resist the Yan army. They were short of men and horses, and in short supply of supplies. It would be very difficult to resist the more than [-] remaining soldiers of King Shaozhou!
While Zhu Xiuyuan was waiting for a moment, the high-spirited Crown Prince's legs gave way and he fell down, landing on a chair...

Zhu Xiuyuan, Dong Cheng and others naturally discovered this, but now that the enemy is approaching, no one cares about it.

"Everyone, the troops of King Shaozhou are brave and good at fighting. They are the most valiant soldiers in our country. They are worthy of being on par with the Liang Kingdom's cavalry." Li Linzhou broke the silence.

"Although there are only more than ten thousand remaining soldiers, the situation in Jiangzhou is not optimistic now. Even if we use various new weapons to stop the Shaozhou King, the price will probably be high."

"Now the enemy is approaching, and they will arrive tomorrow morning at the latest... Everyone, let's discuss countermeasures first, time is running out!"

The crowd joined in.

The king of Shaozhou has rebelled. If he passes through Jiangzhou, he will definitely take it by force. Jiangzhou has no choice but to fight.

However, the specific method of meeting the situation needs to be considered in the long term.

At this time, Dong Cheng came out and said to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was sitting at the top: "Your Highness, the King of Shaozhou has led the remnant troops to attack. I am afraid that the general in the city will be in danger. Please return to the back house of the Yamen to prevent any unexpected events!"

"His Royal Highness, please return to the back house of the Yamen in case of unexpected events!" Zhu Xiuyuan and others agreed.

The Crown Prince was already panicking, but now that Dong Cheng and others said this, it seemed to be the most appropriate solution.

However, just as he was about to agree, he immediately stopped.

He thought to himself: "It's not right. I just came out and now I'm going back. What's that! My mother-in-law sent me to Jiangzhou to increase my knowledge. I've been staying in the back house of the Yamen. In my heart... ...It just feels wrong. Now that we are out, why not stay outside and see how Zhu Xiuyuan and the others meet the enemy."

With the plan in mind, the prince felt much more relaxed.

"No, no need! I want to join you to fight against the remnant soldiers of King Shaozhou!"

What the prince said was powerful.

Dong Cheng and others tried to persuade him twice more, but seeing that the prince persisted, they stopped trying to persuade him.

……

……

Beijing.

Jiangning County, Chaoku Street, Pipa Lane.

This place has always been rich in culture, prosperity, and flow of people. It is the most prosperous and elite place in the entire capital, even the entire Chen Kingdom, or the entire world!
Along Chaoku Street, there is a river, which is the famous Qinhuai River.

On the other side are the East Archway, Confucius Temple, etc.

The king of Shaozhou rebelled and the Yan army invaded the border. These events shocked the entire Chen State and the government and the public. They can be said to be a significant event in the history of the Chen State.However, the war that rocked the Chen Kingdom did not affect the prosperity of this place. The place is still full of singing and singing, fragrant powder and tourists, just like in the past.

In the Pipa Alley, there is a building called "Huamanlou". It is four stories high, with cornices and brackets. It is magnificent and hidden among the buildings in this area!
This flower-filled building is filled with people who are all working as slaves, only showing off their skills but not their lives.

However, this building is the one with the most famous reputation among all the buildings along the Qinhuai River.

Huamanlou is so famous that people from the Northern Yuan Dynasty and Dafang Province, as well as the Dali Kingdom in the far southwest, come here because of its fame.

True fame spreads throughout the world!
Because of the wonderful singing and dancing of Hua Man Lou, people can often be amazed, mesmerized, and amazed.

It represents the highest level of singing and dancing in the world!
Even the imperial dancer was sent to Huamanlou to exchange experiences...

It is not an exaggeration to describe Huamanlou as "the best building in the world".

The first, second, and third floors of the Huaman Building are all bustling with people, singing, dancing, applause, and laughter, which is comparable to a busy city.

The fourth floor, however, seemed deserted.

A gust of wind blew, causing the curtains to flutter, the lanterns swaying, and the lights flickering on and off, giving it an eerie feeling.

In the deepest room on the fourth floor, a young woman was dressed in plain clothes, kneeling on her knees, with a brazier in front of her, in which paper money was burning.

When the wind blew, the paper money flew and sparks scattered, like will-o'-the-wisps floating in the air, making it even more eerie.

In front of the brazier is a case with three three-legged incense burners, each with a pair of candles and three sticks of incense. When the candles are blown by the wind, the flames jump, flickering on and off, but never extinguished.

The ashes of the burned incense are blown away, and when the wind blows, the burned area becomes redder and brighter.

This is actually a mourning hall.

In addition to the incense candles, there were three spiritual tablets on the case.

And the young girl kneeling in front of the soul is none other than the owner of the world-famous Huamanlou——

Kou Wanwan!
A few months ago, when King Poyang of Jiangzhou celebrated his fiftieth birthday, he invited Kou Wanwan to lead the ladies in the flower house to help out and perform songs and dances.

A poetry gathering was also held at that time, including the frivolous young masters who followed Kou Wanwan, such as Zhang Ding, the son of the magistrate of Jiangning County, and Luo Ding, the son of the ambassador of the Jiangning Weaving Bureau.

Zhang Ke and Luo Ding teamed up with the Xue family to rebel against Xue Yuan, and wanted to use the poetry meeting to trick Zhu Xiuyuan.

As a result, I wish Xiuyuan successfully solved the problem with a song "Sauve Acacia".

Kou Wanwan, as the "girl's school book", ordered this song "Long Lovesickness" as the top poem to help Zhu Xiuyuan resolve the crisis.

However, Kou Wanwan always stayed behind the screen, wearing a veil, and Zhu Xiuyuan had never seen her.

At this moment, Kou Wanwan naturally no longer wore a veil.

I saw her delicate body, although she was a young girl, her half body was bulging.

She just knelt on the ground, motionless, and it still made people think.

Look at his face again...

It was an indescribable beauty, breathtaking. The eyebrows, the nose, the small mouth, and the face were all so beautiful that no words could describe them.

No wonder she used tulle to cover her face, because it would save a lot of trouble.

Even if it doesn't make passers-by so bold that they do something beyond the bounds of etiquette, it can still make them so distracted that they wander off the road, bump into walls, trees, step into the air, etc. It's simply unavoidable.
