The second marriage of the emperor's favorite princess

574 Extra Story: Saving People

Back at the palace, he ordered the housekeeper to prepare bath water, and then went to the princess's yard.

At this time, the wife and children should be asleep.Duanmu Canglan walked into the inner courtyard and was about to go to see her son when she heard a faint sound coming from the princess' bedroom.

He frowned and walked into the verandah. The voice was a little clearer, but he couldn't hear anything.

However, it should be who Duanmu Shilin was talking to.

He pushed open the door and walked into the room, but saw Duanmu Shilin sleeping soundly on the bed.

The maid in the outer room was startled awake and got up to salute.He lowered his voice and asked, "When did the princess fall asleep?"

"The princess fell asleep just after dark."

It seems that he is too tired.

"Okay, it's okay, I'll go see the little prince first."

Qiu Mu left Duanmu Shiyao's room and went to his son's bedroom.

My child is soundly asleep.As if dreaming, whispering something.Qiu Mu smiled and held him in her arms.The little guy hummed a few times and then fell asleep again.

He smiled, and heard that the child looked like His Royal Highness Xuan Yu.He has never seen that Highness, but it will always give him an illusion to think of him.

Could it be that these are all deliberately arranged by God?

Getting up early the next day, Duanmu Shiyao came to his bedroom.He rubbed his eyes and got up, smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to get up so early."

After giving birth, Duanmu Shiyao completely transformed into a woman, even more charming and charming.She held his court clothes, helped him put them on, and said softly as she put them on: "Really, why don't you wake me up when you come back? We haven't seen each other for a long time. If I didn't get up early today, I missed it again." went."

"Seeing that you sleep soundly, I don't want to disturb you."

"What am I afraid of making noise? I'm free all day, and I'm not as busy as you."

After washing up, he held Duanmu Shiyao's hand and went out to eat together.It will be even busier when the war starts.

It's been a while since the waiter left. Qiu Mu went to the Ministry of War and took a look at the table next to his desk.

It was for the servant, who was Shangshu's right-hand man, so they often worked together, so they simply put the desks and chairs in the same room.

In the past, when he entered the room, Nan Xiao must have been sitting in front of his desk.This is the top talent in the national examination, and he worked very hard after entering the Ministry of War.He proved his talent, not just as simple as learning.Trained well, he will be a very powerful character.

Today, this hard-working servant is not at his desk, it has been vacant for a long time.Nan Xiao, followed the envoys to the south.

Snow Country is preparing for war.Soon, news came one after another that the Duanmu Canglan dim sum really happened.The small nations had already guessed that the Snow Country Emperor was eyeing this place, and formed an alliance in private.None of the countries surrendered, and they united together to resist the Snow Country.

However, Snow Country has already made preparations to deal with it. The big battle is about to start.

That night, Duanmu Xuanrui went to the city defense camp to inspect the Imperial Capital garrison barracks.Because the Lord left the house for something, he came over from time to time to check on it.

Snow Country is about to go to war, and the city defense battalion is the most idle of all the troops.They don't need to go into battle, and they are much quieter than other barracks.

Duanmu Xuanrui was cleaning the Tianji sword, this God-killing sword, since the day he became the head of Tianqi, it has been his treasure.He often carried it with him when he went out, as if it had become part of him.

When the scabbard was opened, the cold light from the sky instantly lowered the temperature of the entire tent, and there was a faint sense of oppression that made it hard to breathe.

The soldier who came in to report the news felt that his chest was oppressed, and he had to breathe heavily so as not to suffocate.

"Your Highness, something happened."

Duanmu Xuanrui put away his sword, frowned and asked: "What happened?"

"Master Nan and several envoys returning to the court were attacked by unknown people in Xiawu Village. The guards resisted desperately, but the situation is not optimistic. A guard successfully broke through and came here to report."

Xiawu Village is not far from the imperial city, and is the closest to the barracks of the city defense battalion.Except for the situation, of course he was the first one to come here for help.

Duanmu Xuanrui didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly said: "Assemble the team immediately and bring the soldier who broke through."

The subordinates went to do it, and soon, the person who broke through was brought to him.

"What's going on there?"

The man's face was bloodstained, and there were several wounds on his body. He seemed agitated: "The guards escorted Mr. Nan and several envoys back to the court, passing through Wu Village, when they were suddenly attacked by a group of unidentified men in black. They Everyone is very skilled, vicious and vicious, and the guards are no match for their desperate resistance. Seeing that the lives of several adults are about to be lost, Your Highness, go and save them."

In Duanmu Xuanrui's mind, the scene of being ambushed that day and Qiu Mu emerged, maybe it was a group of people.At this moment, I am even more impatient to save people.

The city defense battalion assembled two thousand soldiers, and under his leadership set off towards Xiawu Village.

When we arrived at Xiawu Village, it was time for a cup of tea. I don't know if the guards can last until then.

As he was driving, a horse and a rider came in front of him. The minimum soldier was wearing the clothes of the guard, and his body was covered in blood.

"Your Highness."

He stopped the guards, Duanmu Xuanrui hurriedly asked: "How is the situation?"

"The guard opened an opening in the west, and led a few adults to break out to the west."

Duanmu Xuanrui told him to go to the city defense to nourish his wounds, and then greeted the team: "Let's go to the west!"

So the guards hurried to the west again.

After driving for about an hour, there was no sign of the man in black or the guards. Duanmu Xuanrui stopped the team, frowning and looking at the endless darkness to the west.

"What's going on? We should catch up with our speed."

A general came over with a horse and said, "If it's a chase, it's strange that we didn't see a single corpse along the way."

Duanmu Xuanrui punched his fist and said: "No, it's been tricked. Let's hurry back to Xiawu Village."

The team turned back to Xiawu Village. From a distance, they saw another team of Snow Country soldiers cleaning the village.The bodies of the men in black, guard soldiers and innocent villagers were piled up at the entrance of the village.Duanmu Xuanrui saw at a glance that among several people standing at the entrance of the village, another one was Qiu Mu.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes, the people here also looked over, Qiumu looked at Duanmu Xuanrui, Jin frowned.

Duanmu Xuanrui dismounted, before he could speak, Qiu Mu first asked what he was going to ask: "Xuanrui, what's going on?"

Duanmu Xuanrui paused, and Qiu Mu continued: "I heard that the guards have asked for help from the city defense battalion, so the guards are a little more at ease, and they are not in a hurry to come here. But when they came, there was a city defense battalion here The guards were almost wiped out, and several adults almost died. There was news from the city defense battalion that you had already set off, where did you go?"
