After rebirth, I seduced the abstinent Marquis and became the white moonlight

Chapter 53 A Group of Prisoners
People in the capital were making intensive preparations, while people on the border between Zhao and Western Rong were in dire straits.

There was another important reason why the third prince proposed to go to Xirong, and that was that his sister was there.

At that time, when people were being selected to go to the Western Rong for marriage, the Queen and the Crown Prince used some tricks to get Zhao Qiyue to go. Zhao Qingxun had no choice but to agree. On the one hand, he did not want to alert the enemy, and pretending to be weak could also lower the other party's vigilance.

On the other hand, he would never let Zhao Qiyue marry, and this trip was just a formality. However, he never expected that the civil strife in Xirong would be so serious.

A few days later, the Third Prince and his entourage were ready to set off, but Luo Baizhi's initial worries came true. The border of Zhao State was vast, and there were many places where military forces could be used.

Although Si Yan had hundreds of thousands of troops in Liangzhou, they were stationed elsewhere. If they were all transferred here, it would not only waste time but also cause the loss of Liangzhou City. If other countries took advantage of this opportunity to invade, the consequences would be disastrous.

In this situation, the most convenient and quickest way is to borrow troops. Not far from Guanling, there are 30,000 elite soldiers, all of whom are Prince Jin's men. Prince Jin is the youngest son of the late emperor. Although he and the current emperor are not from the same mother, they are still brothers after all.

It stands to reason that in a situation like this, every citizen has a share of responsibility for the rise and fall of a country, and someone of King Jin's status should be more supportive, but this man is different. It may not be so easy to borrow troops from him.

At the same time, Xirong.

As the saying goes, when the nest is overturned, all the eggs will remain intact. In the flames of war, the once high and mighty royal family has now become the same as ordinary people. They flee like ants, hoping to live one more day.

The Xirong Emperor and Queen fled to the mountains with their son under the protection of their ministers. Unfortunately, the Emperor was injured in the coup and died before he could reach a safe place.

In order to save her life, Queen Helan Rong ordered everyone to abandon the body and escape, and immediately supported Crown Prince Tuoba Shuo as the emperor, and asked everyone to protect them and their daughter with all their strength.

If nothing unexpected happens, these people will be the last bloodline of the Xirong royal family.

The envoys and princess of Zhao were unfamiliar with the place, so when danger came, they chose to follow them. After all, they were the queen and the prince, and it should be safest to follow them, at least for now.

On the third day of hiding in the mountains, the group of people who were used to a comfortable life were almost unable to bear it, especially Tuoba Shuo. The day when the city gate fell was supposed to be his big day, but he had not even slept with the young lady he had finally married, and he had to flee for his life.

At this time, his wedding clothes had been messed up, and the wound on his right arm had not been properly treated and had begun to rot. If this continued, he would end up like his father, whose body was left exposed on the street, with no remains left.

Seeing that everyone around him looked like they were resigned to their fate, Tuoba Shuo could no longer bear it, and threw away the fruit in his hand, and kicked the tree fiercely: "Fuck, I can't live another day like this, you, get out and find help."

The person Tuoba Shuo was pointing at was a guard who had escorted them to escape. His name was Pei Zhuo. He was the deceased emperor's personal guard. When the emperor's body was thrown away before, he was the one who was unwilling to do so and insisted on carrying it.

This man is nine feet tall and twice as wide as an ordinary person. From a distance, he looks like a mountain. Having him in charge of the group really makes people feel at ease. It's a pity that this man is mute and usually looks dull and expressionless, like a wooden stake.

After being sprayed by Tuoba Shuo's saliva, Pei Zhuo raised his eyes to look, but remained motionless.

Tuoba Shuo was so angry at his reaction that he yelled, "Dumb, useless!"

Pei Zhuo had a blank expression on his face, as if he hadn't heard anything.

The woman sitting next to Pei Zhuo was also wearing a bright red wedding dress. She was Yuwen Xilan, the bride that Tuoba Shuo had abducted. Her light blue eyes and three-dimensional facial features made her stand out in the crowd.

This was also the reason why Tuoba Shuo took a fancy to her and forcibly took her to his side.

At this moment, Yuwen Xilan couldn't help laughing, and looked at Tuoba Shuo with a mocking expression: "The generals of Xirong have all rebelled, where can we get reinforcements? At this time, everyone is a prisoner, and you still have the nerve to order others around."
