Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 450 Lincheng
"Your Highness Yu, Jing Ning doesn't want to pick words with you, why did you bring the two of us here today?"

Zhao Yu didn't hide anything, and directly expressed his thoughts straight to the point.

He will not return to the capital, nor will he interfere in the affairs of the capital, even if Jing Ning said that he is afraid of troubles or incompetent, if he said that he will no longer be involved in the capital, he will not go back.

Originally he was very optimistic about Song Yuan, but now Song Yuan can't play against Zhao Duo. Now his idea is to let Jing Ning go to Xiao Lin, let Xiao Lin become king himself, attack the capital, and take the country back from Zhao Duo.

"Do you want Jiangshan to be named Xiao?" Jing Ning was thinking about Zhao Yu's words and asked him suspiciously.

It is said that a beautiful woman in the country must have a love. It is rare to see a person like Zhao Yu who neither loves the country nor has a beautiful woman to accompany him.

"As long as this country can be stabilized, what's the matter with the surname Xiao?" Zhao Yu said.

"I don't even know where Xiao Lin is now, so how can I find him?" Now Jing Ning is a weak woman, or a fugitive from the imperial court, let alone looking for Xiao Lin, it is already very good to go to the border.

Zhao Yu didn't talk nonsense, and directly gave Jing Ning the cavalry army he had hidden for many years, and escorted her to Lincheng until she snatched the throne from Zhao Duo.

Seeing this, Jing Ning didn't say any more, and rushed to the border with the cavalry.

Because of Xiao Lin's disappearance, the people and soldiers in Lincheng were in chaos. They didn't believe that Xiao Lin was a collaborator and traitor. Everyone was worried about Xiao Lin's whereabouts, but they were also panicked because of the approach of the enemy.

There is a soldier in the army, named Xi Jiu, who usually fights with Xiao Lin and has made countless military achievements. Now the entire barracks is supported by him.

"Commander Xi, what should we do now that the general is not here?" The soldiers below said one by one, with anxiety in their tone.

"Everyone, don't panic, we have been guarding here, the general will come back." Standing on the high platform, Xi Jiu shouted loudly.

"Then shall we take the initiative to attack?" a soldier shouted.

Xi Jiu thought about it, and then remembered the news from the capital that both the general's mansion and the prime minister's mansion were sealed off, because the prime minister had liaison with the enemy country, and the general Xiao Lin had liaison with the enemy country.

All of this is so coincidental, so coincidental that it seems like a conspiracy.

"Don't fight." Now that Xiao Lin is not here, they don't need to sacrifice their brothers to take the initiative to attack the enemy, "Everyone just needs to guard Lincheng, and we don't care about other places."

Everyone agrees with what Xi Jiu said.

Everyone in the barracks knew about the accident in the General’s Mansion. Not only did the emperor fail to appease the soldiers, but he also listened to the rumors and sealed up the General’s Mansion and sent the old General Xiao whom they admired to jail. This was a painful blow to them. .

For them, they are only loyal to Xiao Lin, and they are the veritable Xiao family army.

At the same time, the news about Lincheng also reached Zhao Duo's ears.

When Zhao Duo saw the presented memorial, his eyes darkened with anger.

"How dare they...really dare..." Zhao Duo stared fiercely at the words on the memorial, and his throat was filled with blood.

"Oh, Your Majesty, you have to take good care of your body!" Seeing this, the father-in-law hurried over to cheer for Zhao Duo.

"Go, let Chen Sheng enter the palace." Zhao Duo pushed his father-in-law away and said sharply.

Okay, Xiao Lin, I didn't expect those people under you to be so loyal, so don't blame me for being rude, and Jing Ning, who dared to run away!
Originally, he planned to use people from the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion to force Xiao Lin to hand over his military power, but his good plan was abruptly destroyed because of Xiao Lin's disappearance.

Now, the Xiao family's army stopped fighting and guarded in Lincheng, no longer in charge of affairs, which made it very difficult for him.

After Chen Sheng entered the palace, he looked anxious. He was also a general, but he just guarded the capital and managed the affairs of the capital. Now the emperor called him into the palace, which made him very panic.

"My humble minister Chen Sheng has met the emperor, long live the emperor." Chen Sheng prostrated himself on the ground and saluted.

"Get up, I let you enter the palace this time because I have a task for you."

"My minister is panicked, please give me your orders, Your Majesty."

"I named you the Great General of Zhenyuan. Xiao Lin is missing, and the border cannot be without generals for a day. I have given you an order. You will lead the Xiao family army to guard the border."

Chen Sheng was taken aback by this statement. Everyone knows that the Xiao family army only obeys the orders of Xiao Lin and Old General Xiao. Does it work if he takes the imperial decree?He had doubts in his heart, and just as he raised his head to ask, he saw the emperor's cold eyes, and he insisted on choking back what he wanted to say.

"I obey." Chen Sheng's face was not happy, but more sad. He had never personally led troops to fight, and the emperor sent him to the border, it was like sending him to die.

But resisting the decree is a matter of destroying the nine clans. He has to hurry up and go to Lincheng to join the Xiao family army. After all, he holds a glimmer of hope, hoping that with this imperial edict, the Xiao family army will obey his command.

……

Under the escort of the iron cavalry, the two of Jing Ning passed through each checkpoint smoothly and directly arrived at the military camp in Lincheng.

At this time, Xi Jiu was discussing with someone how to sneak into the enemy's barracks, when he received a report from a soldier saying that two women wanted to enter the barracks.

From ancient times to the present, there are no women allowed in the military camp, Xi Jiu refused without even thinking about it, he had no idea that it would be Jingning who came.

"Commander, the person here is the general's wife."

As soon as these words came out, everyone who was discussing was stunned.

Mrs. General? !That's Xiao Lin's wife. Didn't I hear that people from the General's Mansion should not be imprisoned in the Clan Mansion? Why did the General's wife appear at the border?
Everyone walked out with doubts.

Jing Ning was dressed in black, her hair was tied up high, and she was sitting on horseback in a heroic manner, which made all the soldiers stare straight at him. They had never seen Jing Ning before, and they only listened to Xiao Lin's words.

Overwhelming the country and the city, the talent and appearance are boundless.

Jing Ning was followed by a cavalry soldier with a serious expression on his face, which made everyone shudder.

"You said you were the general's wife, do you have proof?" Xi Jiu looked at Jing Ning who was approaching, his face was indifferent.

Jing Ning was already prepared, and took out from her bosom a small token that Old General Xiao had secretly slipped into her before leaving, and threw it at Xi Jiu.

The token drew an arc in the air and landed firmly in Xi Jiu's hand.

Xi Jiu picked up the badge and glanced at it, his expression changed, he took a step forward, and knelt on the ground, "I have seen the general's wife."

Following Xi Jiu's kneeling, everyone knelt on the ground one after another.

The token brought by Jing Ning can not only prove her identity, but also command the Xiao family's army. She didn't know this until Xi Jiu told her about it.

Xi Jiu ordered the Iron Cavalry to settle down, and brought Jing Ning into the tent.

Everyone was also very curious about the general's wife, so they had to take a few more glances, but because of these few glances, Xiao Yuan was very unhappy.

"Don't keep staring at my sister-in-law like this. If my brother finds out, you will be finished!"

Everyone looked embarrassed and apologized quickly.

"It's nothing." Jing Ning waved his hands without any airs, "Have you thought about how to find Xiao Lin?"
