Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 590 Deterioration
But Yanglou still opened its doors to receive guests as usual. It must be because the power behind it was extraordinary and it was not afraid of the chaos in the city.

Zhu Xiuyuan stepped into Yanglou, quickly opened the Tianzihao room, and then led by Xiaoer to the door, followed by Yan Dashan.

The waiter said a few words and went to work first. Zhu Xiuyuan looked around and told Yan Dashan to wait downstairs. He opened the door alone.

Stepping into it, he closed the door with his backhand, and Zhu Xiuyuan looked around while walking inside.

He was looking for Kou Wanwan.

However, he searched inside and out, but found nothing.

Especially on the bed, he lifted the quilt and touched and pressed it...

"Strange, what about people?"

Zhu Xiuyuan muttered, wondering what tricks Kou Wanwan was playing.

Boom boom boom!
At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Sir, the servant is here, open the door quickly..."

Kou Wanwan's voice came in, and Zhu Xiuyuan could even smell her unique fragrance.

Zhu Xiuyuan immediately opened the door, put it in, and then closed the door.

"Girl, what news have you got?"

Zhu Xiuyuan closed the door, turned around to look, but Kou Wanwan was nowhere to be seen behind him.

Zhu Xiuyuan was surprised. He turned around and looked around, but he suddenly discovered that Kou Wanwan had ran to the couch at some point and was sitting there leaning delicately.

Moreover, when Zhu Xiuyuan saw her, she had already taken off a coat and threw it messily on the mattress. Now she was holding the edge of the embroidered edge of a piece of clothing and was about to lift it out...

"Girl, what are you doing?"

Zhu Xiuyuan was startled and rushed over. He grabbed both sides of her dress with both hands, tightened it and covered her.

Although the weather is relatively cold now, Kou Wanwan doesn't seem to be afraid of the cold. She doesn't wear much.

Zhu Xiuyuan had already seen that glance just now...

The snowy skin seemed to be shining with fluorescence.Those fragrant shoulders and clavicle are delicate and delicate, very attractive.And that colorful tube top embroidered with gold and silver threads with various flower patterns...

All kinds of thrilling ups and downs, looking like ridges and peaks from the side, cannot be described in words.

"The weather is so cold, you are not afraid of the cold!"

Zhu Xiuyuan swallowed secretly, and grabbed the edges of both sides of her clothes to prevent her from opening them again.

"Young Master just... was groping around on this bed, was he looking for his slave?"

Kou Wanwan rolled her charming eyes, kissed her red lips, and exhaled like a blue breath. Zhu Xiuyuan was confused and confused for a moment.

"What nonsense... huh?" Zhu Xiuyuan was surprised, "Did the girl just... see it?"

puff!

Kou Wanwan smiled, "Of course I saw it. The slave family also saw the anxious look on the young master's face. What's the matter? The slave family is right in front of us now, so close and within easy reach. Why did the young master pretend to be a gentleman?"

"What nonsense!"

Zhu Xiuyuan took a deep breath, glanced at Kou Wanwan's belly, forced all thoughts away, picked up her coat, and put it on her personally.

"This kind of joke can't be taken, the girl must have forgotten, in your stomach..."

As Zhu Xiuyuan said, he couldn't help but glanced at Kou Wanwan's lower abdomen again, he was a little surprised, why is it still a "plain" after so long?

"Master, why don't you touch it?" Kou Wanwan straightened up.

"No, no need!"

Zhu Xiuyuan immediately withdrew his gaze and sat down on the edge of the bed. He adjusted his mind and asked, "What new news did the girl get?"

"Young master's guess is good, there is indeed a new news!" Kou Wanwan put away her joking expression.

"What's the news? Could it be that the Yan army from the north is attacking the capital?" Zhu Xiuyuan was surprised.

Due to the current situation facing the capital, the threat from the south is actually not great. The threat mainly comes from Jiangbei.

Because the rebellious King Liyang and King Jiangyin had limited troops under their command, they set up a roadblock on the road leading to the capital to prevent other reinforcements from entering the capital, which was just enough for King Qin.

It is impossible to have surplus troops to attack the capital.

In the north, although there were [-] Yan troops, King Zhongshan and his [-] soldiers were besieged in Qingliu County.But don't forget, there are also the tens of thousands of Yan troops who appeared outside Quanjiao County.

These tens of thousands of troops are very likely to march south and approach the capital.

This is the current situation facing the capital, so Zhu Xiuyuan made that kind of guess, thinking that the tens of thousands of Yan troops went south to attack the capital.

"Young Master guessed wrong, no!" Kou Wanwan couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

"No? What is that?"

"Young Master, please guess again." Kou Wanwan had a game-playing expression on her face.

"Girl, please stop being so pretentious. What is the news?"

"Young Master, the good news is... the slave family misses you and has taken the initiative to deliver it to you!"

Kou Wanwan let out a cry and fell directly into his arms like a mountain of jade.

Zhu Xiuyuan held such a beautiful woman, she smelled delicious, but for a moment he was very speechless...

After being gentle for about a quarter of an hour, Zhu Xiuyuan stood up and said, "It's getting late, I have to go back first, and then continue to prepare in the afternoon..."

"Master, why don't you go with the slave family now?" Kou Wanwan also stood up. She had just huddled in Zhu Xiuyuan's arms and suggested leaving the capital together.

But Zhu Xiuyuan rejected it.

"Under the overthrow of the nest, the eggs are intact." Zhu Xiuyuan shook his head, "I can't leave until the last moment. If I am not strong enough, I will not hesitate to abandon everything and take all of you to escape to heaven. .”

"You are pregnant now and it is very unsafe in this capital. If possible, please leave the capital first. It will not be too late to come back to the capital after the situation is stable."

"No!" Kou Wanwan flatly refused, "If the young master doesn't leave, the slave family will not leave either. If the master decides to leave, the slave family will follow him."

"If our two forces join together, we will have a greater chance of breaking through the encirclement!"

"Girl you..."

"Young Master, the slave family has already decided. You don't need to say anything."

Zhu Xiuyuan looked at her blankly, while Kou Wanwan was like a little daughter-in-law, carefully arranging the wrinkles on his clothes, very carefully.

...Zhu Xiuyuan left Yang Lou, boarded the carriage, and continued to the direction of Jiangcheng Uncle's Mansion.

In the rickety carriage, Zhu Xiuyuan's mood was a little complicated.

If the capital cannot be defended in the end, he will definitely run away with those close to him.

He will not live or die with the capital, nor will he sacrifice himself for the country of Chen.

As a modern person, he couldn't even imagine these foolish and loyal behaviors, and naturally he wouldn't do them.

If you have to run away in the end, you still need to plan carefully.

Dong Cheng, Dong Shuyu, Dong Shuzhen, Kou Wanwan, and the bunch of maids and servants like Qiu Wen, after all, are members of their own family, so they have to be taken away together...

Just as he was thinking about it, the carriage suddenly stopped and he had already arrived at the gate of Jiangcheng Uncle's Mansion.

Zhu Xiuyuan got out of the car, walked straight into the mansion gate, and walked along the long corridor to the main house.

"Husband! Husband is back!"

Halfway through the corridor, at a corner, two figures suddenly appeared in front of them.

They are Dong Shuzhen and Xia Wu's two masters and servants.

The moment Zhu Xiuyuan returned home, the news of his return had already reached the main house and was known to Dong Shuzhen and others.

When they got the news, they ran out to greet him.

However, their outfits... made Zhu Xiuyuan stunned.

He stood there blankly, his eyes bulging as he glanced up and down at them.

I saw that Dong Shuzhen was wearing a set of armor, pink, with a big red cloak hanging on her shoulders... It was the same suit Dong Shuzhen had worn when she was defending the city in Jiangzhou.

Unexpectedly, she turned it out again...

In addition, there is Xia Wu, who is also dressed in a similar manner, except that she does not have a cape on her shoulders.

What surprised Zhu Xiuyuan was not her pink armor, but her... wearing armor, trotting towards him, but still jumping and jumping like a girl.

This combination... is really simple!

"You..." Zhu Xiuyuan struggled to hold back his laughter.

Dong Shuzhen ran closer and Zhu Xiuyuan looked at her, not knowing what to say.

"My husband, don't worry, I'm not going to the army, I'm only here in this mansion, leading a group of generals to defend our home and country!"

Dong Shuzhen is full of confidence, with a proud, excited face and a full smile.

Although the current situation in Beijing is critical, Dong Shuzhen is an optimist and is not afraid at all.

She wore a pink armor and made noises in the house all day long, which made the generals very miserable.But now Dong Cheng is busy outside all day, and Zhu Xiuyuan rarely returns home. No one cares about her. This huge Jiangcheng uncle's mansion has simply become Dong Shuzhen's "paradise".

After listening to Dong Shuzhen's explanation, Zhu Xiuyuan nodded. As long as she didn't leave the house, then let her do whatever she wanted.

"Are you hungry, husband? I have asked the chef to prepare good wine and food. My husband is busy outside all day long, so he needs to eat and drink well..."

Dong Shuzhen was chattering, and she and Zhu Xiuyuan came to the flower hall of the main house to prepare for dinner.

At this time, Dong Shuyu also came from the Buddhist hall in the mansion.

I saw that she was wearing a plain long dress. Although there was no bright color, it looked simple, elegant and gentle, and it actually had a different flavor.

Since the chaos in the capital, Dong Shuyu has left behind his business affairs and stayed in the Buddhist hall all day long, chanting scriptures for peace.

She would only come out when Dong Cheng or Zhu Xiuyuan returned home. The rest of the time, she would stay in there... She didn't feel bored.

Zhu Xiuyuan chatted with the two of them for a few words, all about the current situation in the capital.

Soon, the food arrived and a large table was filled.

However, in front of Dong Shuyu, there are several plates of vegetarian dishes. It is said that they need to eat fast in order to worship Buddha...

After the meal, Zhu Xiuyuan walked around the house.

He also lectured the five hundred generals in the mansion, and seeing that there were no problems, Zhu Xiuyuan was ready to go to the Shenlei Army camp to continue preparations.

After Zhu Xiuyuan left, Dong Shuyu returned to the Buddhist hall, while Dong Shuzhen, like a female general, led her "general" Xia Wu around the house...

In the afternoon, Zhu Xiuyuan stayed in the Divine Thunder Workshop, trying his best to optimize various new weapons.

What Zhu Xiuyuan was worried about, the bad news that tens of thousands of Yan people from the north were going south to attack the capital, never came.

Before I knew it, it was approaching evening.

To Zhu Xiuyuan's surprise, great bad news came from the south of the capital!
Zhu Xiuyuan didn't know either, but this was actually a signal that the storm was going to Gao Ming...

Be careful.

Chen Guojun and ministers gathered here again.

Emperor Chen and Concubine You were standing on the high imperial steps, while hundreds of civil and military officials were standing below, each standing separately.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was very solemn.

Because the bad news from the south has been known to Chen Guojun and his ministers——

The rebellious King of Jiangyin actually surrendered to King Changzhou of Suzhou and persuaded King Changzhou to rebel with him!

Subsequently, the [-] garrison troops commanded by King Changzhou in turn held back the [-] troops commanded by the Huzhou garrison and Zhenze Army.

The King of Jiangyin freed up his hands and personally led an army of [-] to attack the capital from the southeast of Runzhou.

Ferocious!

At this moment, King Jiangyin's [-]-strong army had already broken through Jintan County, Yanling County, and Qu'a County, and was attacking the defenders of Jurong County.

In fact, in the entire Runzhou area, for the safety of the capital, except for the 20 troops in the Beijing camp, other counties such as Jintan County, Yanling County, Qu'a County, etc. do not have many garrisons.

If there are too many troops stationed in the surrounding counties during the Taiping Festival, what if they rebel and rebel at the same time?The capital may be caught off guard.

Around the capital, it is enough to have 20 elite soldiers from the capital camp.

As for the outer layer of defense, tens of thousands of garrisons were deployed in distant prefectures and counties such as Liyang, Jiangyin, Changzhou, and Hezhou to protect the safety of the capital.

The "hollow areas" in the middle, such as Jintan County, Yanling County, Qu'a County, etc., only have a small number of garrisons.

If external enemies attack, troops can be temporarily stationed in these "hollow areas" as a buffer.

However, this idea is good, but I did not expect that Beijing would one day face the current situation.Haozhou, Chuzhou, and Chuzhou to the north of the capital, as well as Liyang, Jiangyin and other places to the south of the capital, were originally part of the outer defense of the capital.

And now, it is these defense rings that are rebelling!
That's why the King of Jiangyin was able to conquer several county towns and come straight to Jurong County.

If Jurong County is defeated, the King of Jiangyin will have no obstacles and can directly enter the capital city.

With the small amount of troops in Jurong County, I'm afraid they won't be able to sustain it for long...

"Your Majesty, for the current plan, we should deploy [-] soldiers from the capital camp and set up defenses on the south side of the capital to prevent King Jiangyin from directly attacking the city!" someone suggested.

"One hundred thousand soldiers from the Beijing camp are stationed on the north side of the city, across the river from Jiangpu County. The situation in Jiangbei is unclear now, but at least it is certain that there are hundreds of thousands of Yan troops stationed in Chuzhou, and they can cross the river south at any time , attack the capital...the soldiers in the capital camp cannot be transferred!"

"The Yan army in the north of the Yangtze River will attack at some point, but the King of Jiangyin in the south will attack the city immediately. Which one is more important?"

"The urgent matter now is to mobilize some soldiers from the Beijing camp to set up defenses in the south of the city..."

"Well, it is true that some soldiers from the Beijing camp should be transferred to the south of the city, but is it too much to send 5 troops? There are 10,000+ Yan troops in Jiangbei..."

In the main hall, Jin Shen suddenly became a quarrel and couldn't argue.

"Report..."

At this time, a scout with small flags on his back rushed straight into the hall with a long tail.

Perhaps it was because the scout's voice was too loud and interrupted the debate among the ministers.

They all stopped talking and looked back at the scout.

"Your Majesty, there is a sudden movement of the Yan army in the north of Jiangbei. There are about [-] people in force, and they are attacking Jiangpu County!"

The Yan army in Jiangbei was indeed dispatched!

Just in time to go out!
All the ministers were horrified and exchanged glances with each other, but stopped talking.

The King of Jiangyin in the south of the capital is about to attack the city. At the same time, the Yan army in the north of the Yangtze River has stopped moving in the morning and will not move in the evening. But at this time, if you say that there is no connection between them, I am afraid that a three-year-old child will not believe it.

"Report...to report to Your Majesty that Jurong County has been lost. The King of Jiangyin led an army of [-] people, heading straight for the capital like a broken bamboo!"

Damn it, Jurong County was lost so quickly?

Now the south of the capital is in danger.

"Report... Your Majesty, the [-] Yan army from Jiangbei is already attacking Jiangpu County!"

Another bad news comes from the north...

Before the ministers could say a word, the next scout came one after another.

"Report...to report to Your Majesty, Jiangpu County was defeated in one attack. One hundred thousand Yan troops poured into the city. Our Jiangpu garrison was completely wiped out..."

"Report...to inform Your Majesty that after the Yan Army in the north of the Yangtze River captured Jiangpu County, they have been recruiting various ships with the intention of crossing the Yangtze River south. The Jingying navy stationed on the south bank of the Yangtze River has set off urgently under the leadership of Vice General Liu, and is on the river. Come up and stop Yan Jun’s navy!”

... After this series of critical attacks, the entire Jinshen Hall, including the emperor and his ministers, was already riddled with holes.

The situation has taken a turn for the worse, like a mountain falling, or a flood.

This cannot be stopped at all, giving people the feeling that the world is about to collapse and end.

How to do?
The ministers looked at each other in confusion. You looked at me and I looked at you, feeling chilled in your heart.

Then in unison, all the ministers looked at Emperor Chen who was on the imperial steps, and they all looked at each other.

Wait for Chen Huang to make up his mind.

What should we do in this situation now?
"Deploy..." Chen Huang looked pale and moved from time to time. He couldn't sit comfortably no matter how hard he sat. It seemed that the dragon chair below was burning his buttocks. "...Deploy [-] soldiers from the capital camp and deploy them to the south of the capital for defense!"

"The last will obey!"

A lieutenant general of the Beijing camp got the order, cupped his hands, turned and left the hall.

"The rest of the armies, go down quickly and prepare, beware of the Yan army and the rebels attacking the city!" Chen Huang made another arrangement.

"I will obey your orders!"

The generals of the Four Imperial Guards, the generals of the Jinwu Guards, and the general Zhu Xiuyuan of the Divine Thunder Army, as well as some deputy generals, accepted the order in unison and turned to leave the palace.

"My lord." Chen Huang looked at Li Zhong again.

"The old minister is here."

"I will leave all matters such as the recruitment of civilians, supplies, and the stability of the capital to you!"

"Old minister obeys!"

"Okay, you all go down!"

Chen Huang tilted his head and waved his hand, looking a little impatient.

"Sir, please retire!"

The remaining ministers left the hall one after another, and they were all gone in the blink of an eye.

Some of them still had to run, impatient and rushed out of the palace gate.

Hurry back to the mansion as quickly as possible, and then start to make some kind of arrangement...

When I entered the main hall, all the ministers had left and it was empty.

Chen Huang slumped on the dragon chair. All the strength in his body seemed to have been exhausted. He was exhausted and sweat broke out on his forehead.
