This year is probably the least tasteless year in Beijing.

On the first day of the first day of the first day of the new year, the court urgently sent people to support Taiyuan. But on the eve of the war, the coach himself ran away in fear, leaving only three thousand people to stay in Taiyuan. The siege of Taiyuan has not yet been resolved, and the capital is approached ten miles away.

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, there was news that Xie Xuanchen was fighting, whether it was true or not. Everyone didn't know who to believe. Suddenly, it came out that Xie Xuanchen was going to march with Mu Mingtang, or he would refuse to fight. The emperor was furious and went away. He confronted Xie Xuanchen for a few days. After all, the emperor couldn't wait and finally compromised, just as Xie Xuanchen meant. But as a price, Xie Xuanchen could only take eight thousand people away.

From one hundred thousand to eight thousand, the gap is not small. Everyone sighed that King An was very impulsive, the hero was short of breath, and his sons and daughters had a long affection, which ruined his own major events. Unexpectedly, Xie Xuanchen was not dissatisfied at all. He personally went to the Forbidden Barracks and picked 8,000 people, 21 soldiers, and left that afternoon.

Jiang Mingwei was flustered this year. She listened to the constant movement next door all day yesterday, and even herself was flustered. After midday today, Prince An's Mansion next door suddenly became quiet.

Jiang Mingwei did not go out to watch, but had already guessed: "Wang An and Concubine An, are both gone?"

"Yes." The maid went out to look at the road, and retelled it with Jiang Mingwei when she came back, "Although the official did not say, but many people on the roadside were watching. There were three cars behind Princess An's carriage, each of which was installed. It's full of dangdang, it's just a section of the road out of the city, and Wang An actually came back to pick it up. The servants watched their convoy drive out of Vermilion Street with their own eyes, and the rest were invisible."

Jiang Mingwei sighed, not only Mu Mingtang was packing things up these days, Jiang Mingwei was also secretly packing up life-saving details. According to the plot, Yeluji will soon cross the river smoothly, and the soldiers will be near the city. The 100,000 imperial troops in Tokyo were beaten down, and the capital was lost. The emperor, harem concubines, many relatives, officials and nobles were panicked and had to evacuate in a hurry. They lost a lot of money and slaves along the way. When the situation was critical, even their children were lost and they were very embarrassed.

It wasn't until I passed the river that I finally got better. After this battle, the emperor became afraid of the north, and simply returned to Lin'an where he once settled as the capital, and reorganized the imperial court in Lin'an.

Lin'an is backed by the sky moat, and the imperial government built its capital. It prospered within a few years, and its prosperity is not as good as that of Tokyo. The royal family became accustomed to the comfort of the south and gradually became addicted. Later, someone proposed to conquer the old capital Tokyo. Many people in the court were no longer willing.

The emperor's vitality was greatly injured when he fled south, and when he returned to the old place of Lin'an, his hanging breath relaxed and his body quickly collapsed. Xie Xuanji stepped forward on this road. He was a young man and quite decisive. He was very dependent on women and children such as the empress and dowager. Even the emperor gradually delegated power to him and let him arrange the itinerary. Xie Xuanji completely replaced the emperor and became the spiritual leader of the group. After Lin'an settled down, Xie Xuanji naturally became the prince.

Before long, the emperor passed away from illness and passed the throne to Xie Xuanji. After Xie Xuanji ascended the throne, he flexed his fists and sang his harem, vigorously promoting his cronies. However, although Xie Xuanji was ambitious, the road of Ye Dynasty to conquer the homeland has not been smooth.

After the emperor and others abandoned the city and fled, Tokyo became a lamb under the iron hooves of the Bei Rong people. Yelu Jiguang moved the treasures taken from the palace mansion for three months. The people were slaughtered, and the young and middle-aged died of sharp blades. , There are countless girls and women who have been ruined, and Tokyo's Shishijikukong, once a bustling city that never sleeps, is completely reduced to an empty city.

As the royal family fled south, large tracts of land in the north were given away. Many people refused to return to Beirong. They struggled to organize resistance forces in various places to survive in the cracks. Many generals who were stranded in the area, or refused to follow the imperial court to the south, defended the city and fought against Beirong. Although these cities are fighting foreign enemies, they are far away from each other, and there is no unified leader and leadership, so they can only fight separately. They repeatedly asked the court for reinforcements, and watched as a lonely city. In the end, they fought like a spark and finally extinguished.

Taiyuan, Hejian, Zhongshan, Xiangyang... no one lives. At first it was an adult man defending the city, then a teenager, and finally, even the women went up to the city wall to fight.

Looking south year after year, the court reinforcements never came.

The northern rebel forces were put out one by one, and the Northern Expedition gradually became empty talk in the corner of Ju'an in the Ye Dynasty. Five or six years after Xie Xuanji ascended the throne, he was conceited to recuperate during his administration, the treasury was abundant, and Wanyan Duo was able to lead the line before starting to cross the river. However, until Jiang Mingwei died, there was no news of Xie Xuanji's success in going north.

Jiang Mingwei did not pay much attention to these, because she was Yeluyan's favorite concubine in her previous life. Later, Yeluyan succeeded in fighting for the throne. She became the concubine of Emperor Bei Rong, and the war of war in Ye dynasty made a play for her. It makes no difference. But now that she has switched camps, Jiang Mingwei has become the princess of the Ye Dynasty. She shuddered when she recalled the treatment of the noble family members of the Ye Dynasty when they were taken to Beirong.

Jiang Mingwei didn't want to try at all. Although she is the wife of the male protagonist, it is reasonable to say that the male protagonist's woman will not fall into the hands of outsiders, but no one can take it lightly when things happen to her. Jiang Mingwei secretly made a lot of preparations to ensure that she would be the first to escape when the Tokyo siege crisis arrived.

She heard that Xie Xuanchen had gone to court, and had fought hard with the emperor in the early court. She also heard that the emperor agreed to Xie Xuanchen's request, but only gave him 8,000 people. Now, Jiang Mingwei heard that Mu Mingtang had left with Xie Xuanchen.

Jiang Mingwei suddenly felt a sense of sorrow. She couldn't figure out why Xie Xuanchen had to take Mu Mingtang with him, and she couldn't even understand why Mu Mingtang was willing to leave the pampered Tokyo and set out with Xie Xuanchen. Even if the army has a maid to take care of it, it is extremely hard.

Not to mention, Xie Xuanchen's eight thousand carry one hundred thousand on the opposite side, this trip is extremely likely, it is the past to die.

In the end, Jiang Mingwei could only be like many female relatives in Tokyo, half sighed, half mockingly said: "The hero is sad for the Beauty Pass, An Wang and Concubine An are in such a good relationship, and they are really gods and relatives."

This time, the travel staff was greatly simplified. Mu Mingtang only took the maids that he used and trusted to go out. The other servants who were not spotted were simply grateful. Mu Mingtang purified the manpower in a fair manner, and the Jiang family brought her dowry without touching her. She only brought her own furnishings, soft clothes, and gold.

At this time, she was very fortunate that she had collected a lot of gold. Now it seems that not only did she make the best use of the emperor's money, but she also saved herself a wealth of life in troubled times. Because Mu Mingtang wanted to join the army, she excused that it was her dowry, but in fact she stuffed the box with gold, dignifiedly moved into the carriage and followed Xie Xuanchen.

Mu Mingtang was guarded at the core of the Chinese army's marching formation. Although Xie Xuanchen said where he is and where Mu Mingtang is, Mu Mingtang is a female family member after all and cannot go to the front. Xie Xuanchen didn't really want to put Mu Mingtang on the battlefield, he just wanted to take Mu Mingtang out of the capital and put him beside him.

He knew his uncle too well, he couldn't trust the emperor.

So after driving out of Tokyo, Xie Xuanchen placed Mu Mingtang in the nearest town, and he took people to camp by the river, preparing to fight.

Qinghe Town is built by the river and depends on the river for a living. Mu Mingtang's frame drove into a local squire's courtyard. This squire's courtyard was already one of the most spacious and luxurious in Qinghe Town. It was heard that King An's princess was going to requisition it, so he was busy vacating it.

They were going to move to another house, but Mu Mingtang couldn't bear to let the host's house make room for them, so he said no. She only occupied one or two rooms.

She came out with only five maids this time, and the others stayed in the palace. Those people originally came out of the palace. Even if the emperor wanted to come here, even if he angered, he wouldn't be angered by his servants, so Mu Mingtang left them in the palace to fend for themselves.

In addition to the five maids, the little Taoist priests also followed. This is natural. Xie Xuanchen's cure depends on the little Taoist priests. Neither Mu Mingtang nor Xie Xuanchen would cross the river to demolish the bridge and leave the little Taoist alone in the capital. Besides, Xie Xuanchen is marching outside, and military doctors are always indispensable.

The little Taoist priests all had to leave the capital to breathe out.

The five maids removed the tables, carpets, curtains, etc. from the carriage, and while arranging them, they complained that the house of the squire Zhao's was too small and too cramped. They really wronged the princess. Mu Mingtang heard frowning and said: "We are on the road, thanks to the Zhao family for providing shelter from the wind and rain. We are grateful that it is too late, so how can we pick things and choose? These things are not allowed to be said in the future. You must restrain yourself and not cause trouble to your master's family."

The maids lowered their heads by Mu Mingtang's reprimand, and promised to be. In a moment of effort, Zhao Xiangshen's house was transformed into a new look. Inside and outside, there was a Su embroidered screen. The inner bed was full of quilt and tents from the palace. Outside the screen, there were sitting tables and tea tables, and a thick and gorgeous paved underneath. The carpet is not cold even if you step on it barefoot.

When the Zhao family brought her daughter to greet Princess An, she was dizzy as soon as she walked in the door.

Is this... still their house? The maid went inside to report to Mu Mingtang, and then she came out and opened the bead curtain for Zhao Niang and Zhao Xiao Niang: "Wang Hao, please."

Zhao Niang accepted the maid's service with some trepidation. When I walked inside, I became dizzy and dizzy. I felt that I didn't have enough eyes to see. The Lady Zhao who was next to her mother was also very surprised. She wanted to see but didn't dare to.

Zhao Niang and Zhao Xiaoniang saluted Mu Mingtang according to the instructions from outsiders. Mu Mingtang sat on her side and waved her hands when she saw this, and said, "Zhao Niang and Zhao Xiaoniang please get up. Come here, take a seat. "

Miss Zhao couldn't help it anymore, and secretly raised her eyes to look at Mu Mingtang. It turns out that this is the princess of the capital, she is as beautiful as the fairy in the painting, and her voice is also nice.

After all, Zhao Niang and Zhao Xiao Niang are not from Beijing, and they don't understand the rules of the Gaomen compound. They really sit down when they see Xiudun moved here. They don't know how to do so, so they should sit half-length.

Mu Mingtang would naturally not care about this with Zhao Niang and others. Mu Mingtang watched them sit down, and then asked, "I and the prince have been bothering you recently. If you bother, please Zhao Gong Zhao Niang Haihan."

The squire of Zhao is a small and prestigious squire in Qingshui Town, and Mu Mingtang is called Zhao Gong, which is obviously to save face. Zhao Niang hurriedly declined and said she did not dare, she said: "King Qiyang came here to fight. He is our benefactor to the entire Qinghe Town. It is an honor for the princess to live in Zhao's family. How dare we feel troublesome."

This is mutual understanding, Mu Mingtang didn't say anything, and nodded and smiled: "Thank you Zhao Gong Zhao Niang."

Zhao Niang and Mu Mingtang had a conversation, and felt that the princess of Beijing was not as unattainable as she thought. Princess An looked very kind, even more kind than the county magistrate. Zhao Niang slowly relaxed, and talked to Mu Mingtang casually: "Those Bei Rong people are really nothing, and those who celebrate the New Year will not let people live. On the fifteenth day, we were going to go to the county to watch the lights happily. Suddenly I heard that there were people from Beirong on the other side of the river, but we were very scared. There are still girls in our family who have not yet come out of the pavilion. Once they come, how dare I let my daughter go out."

Mu Mingtang glanced at Zhao Xiaoniang and immediately understood Zhao Niang's concern. Although the imperial court and Bei Rong looked friendly and friendly and negotiated and negotiated peace last year, in fact, the folks in the Ye dynasty had a particularly serious resistance to the Khitan people in Bei Rong.

Even if Yeluyan and other imperial families speak Chinese and learn Chinese culture, they are ultimately citizens outside the Pass. Ru Mao drank blood and burned, killed and plundered, which brought disasters to civilians in Ye dynasty. The folk Ye dynasty and Khitan hated each other, and now Zhao Niang has nothing to say about Beirong people.

Mu Mingtang had personally experienced the chaos of war, and he couldn't understand it better. She was a little surprised: "Since Zhao Niang is worried about Bei Rong people, then Bei Rong is on the other side, why didn't Zhao Niang leave?"

"Where can I go?" Zhao Niang complained, "If there is no other way, who wants to leave a good home. When I first learned that Beirong people came across the river, I was very scared and packed my luggage. I planned to go to Tokyo to be with my relatives. I didn't expect a message two or three days later that King Qiyang was going to fight. I heard that I was determined, so I wanted to stay and watch for a few more days. Later, my relatives in Beijing gave me a message. It was indeed King Qiyang who brought people to the war. When King Qiyang is here, we don't have to run."

Mu Mingtang was startled and asked in surprise, "You trust him so much?"

"Of course." Zhao Niang said without thinking, "If King Qiyang can't win, it's useless for us to hide anywhere. It's not as good as a family dying together and being company on Huangquan Road."

Xie Xuanchen's title was changed to King An by the emperor, and the population in the capital was changed, but after leaving Tokyo, the general public still only recognized King Qiyang.

Mu Mingtang did not expect that an ordinary citizen of the people would have such a great trust in Xie Xuanchen. Not only the Zhao family, but Mu Mingtang came along and found that other people in Qingshui Town did not lock their doors, which means that the other people in the town were still there.

Everyone trusts Xie Xuanchen so much. Because Xie Xuanchen is here, even if the enemy is on the other side, there is no need to escape.

Seeing Mu Mingtang's strange question, Zhao Niang asked, "Why does the princess ask that? Don't you believe in King Qiyang?"

Mu Mingtang was startled and laughed: "Of course I believe him too."

She believed in her young hero wholeheartedly, so that she was willing to entrust the rest of her life to the world with him.

While talking, there was the sound of horseshoes outside, and then a series of greetings rang out. When Zhao Niang heard that she was so panicked that she immediately pulled her daughter up to her feet, and said indiscriminately: "The prince is back, and the women will leave first."

After Zhao Niang finished speaking, she hurriedly took her daughter out and ran out. Miss Zhao was stumbled by her mother. When she went out, she didn't pay attention to raising her head. She happened to see a man in armor walking towards the main house. After a glimpse, she only remembered that the man was extremely tall and surprisingly good-looking.

This is the best-looking man Zhao Xiaomao has ever seen. Unexpectedly, this turned out to be the famous King Qiyang?

The place where Xie Xuanchen was stationed was not far from Qinghe Town, and he could walk back and forth in a quarter of an hour on horseback. This was the position he chose specially. He arranged the military camp and immediately returned to see Mu Mingtang.

Xie Xuanchen understood why the men who had become relatives in the military camp went home as soon as they were free. He ran between the barracks and his wife, not feeling tired on one side, but enjoying it.

When Xie Xuanchen came back, the yard was busy again. The commoners in Qinghe Town were afraid of the maidservants in the palace, and the maids were afraid of Xie Xuanchen. When Xie Xuanchen came back, they changed their tea and they hurriedly stepped back.

Xie Xuanchen was eager to do this, he turned his gaze around the room, and slowly frowned, "Thank you, I have wronged you these few days."

Mu Mingtang said silently, from the bottom of his heart: "I think it's okay, it's not wrong."

She really thinks that the conditions are good. The house is clean and bright, and the small courtyard is neat and complete. Where is it?

Xie Xuanchen felt that Mu Mingtang was comforting him. He blamed himself more and more, saying: "After a while, we will repurchase the house. We can only wrong you these days."

Mu Mingtang thought who was wronged after all, it was obvious that Xie Xuanchen couldn't accept this kind of small house. After Xie Xuanchen finished speaking, seeing that Mu Mingtang didn't mean to ask any questions, he curiously said: "You just believe me like this, don't ask anything, just follow me?"

Mu Mingtang felt vaguely at the beginning, and Xie Xuanchen probably didn't even plan to come back after Xie Xuanchen left. That's why I insisted on taking her and took away a huge amount of gold.

Mu Mingtang expected it. He was not surprised when he heard what he said. He even deliberately said with a smile: "Who made me fascinated and fell in love with you. I eloped with Xiao Bailian, of course I can't take care of anything."

Xie Xuanchen laughed when he heard it, and looked at her and said, "I feel confident, eh? I don't think I can spare time to toss you these few nights?"

Mu Mingtang didn't want to show his timidity, but Xie Xuanchen's eyes were evil in his smile, and Mu Mingtang really didn't dare to provoke him. Xie Xuanchen turned crazy and didn't care, she couldn't provoke him.

Mu Mingtang recognized the counsel and did not dare to tease again. She deliberately changed the subject and turned abruptly: "How are the frontline preparations?"

Of course Xie Xuanchen could see that Mu Mingtang was deliberately changing the subject. He didn't press too hard, and said according to her wishes: "It's okay, I have arranged everything, and I can't finish it for a while, and I didn't stare. Use it, just come back and see you first."

Mu Mingtang was a little worried: "Yelüji is still on the other side of the river, you are not here, is that okay?"

"It's okay." After Xie Xuanchen finished speaking, he was really disgusted. "This is Ye Dynasty's game. The right time and place accounted for more than half of it. It's more difficult to win."

After listening to the silence, Mu Mingtang said silently after a moment: "Speak well, don't be so rampant."
