Chapter 91: Empty city

The maids outside were quarreling endlessly, and they revealed the bottom of each other thoroughly. In the end, no one was embarrassed to stay, and they scattered around angrily. The two had watched enough of the scene and went back to the house.
As soon as Huaiyu stepped on the threshold of the main house, he heard a muffled voice at the door: "Where have you been?"
Shocked, she turned her head, clutching her heart, and said: "Just at the gate of the mansion, where can you go? Why are you here? Don't light the lights."
Jiang Xuanjin looked at her carefully and made sure that she was not in any serious trouble, and then she relaxed and said, "I just finished reading the official document, so stop by."
It's too late. Just finished reading? Huaiyu frowned and reached out to pinch his sleeves.
A swell of coldness has seeped into the clothes, apparently staying outside for a long time.
"You." Li Huaiyu couldn't laugh or cry. "You don't know if you lie or change clothes?"
Jiang Xuanjin was taken aback, and looked down, as if she didn't know what was wrong with her clothes. Just about to reach out and look, the finger was held by the person in front of him.
The temperature passed from her palm and it was warm to him. Jiang Xuanjin realized that she was cold all over, and she subconsciously took her hand back and took a half step back.
The person in front of him seemed not afraid of the cold. He stepped back to her and pulled the laces of his robe when he came up, opened his shirt, and then reached out and hugged him in.
"Cold." Jiang Xuanjin struggled.
Li Huaiyu hugged and didn't let go, and smiled and said: "I know you are cold, so I warm you up."
"I'm afraid you are cold."
"I'm not cold. There is a charcoal fire in the room, and there is a hand holding it when going out. The wind can't blow it, but you." Huaiyu looked up at him. In the dark room, this person's eyes were slightly glowing." What are you doing in the cool breeze for so long outside?"
Holding her waist halfway, Jiang Xuanjin didn't answer, she lost her mind for a moment, then bowed her head and said, "Would you please let me go to Ziyang Border Town?"
"Huh?" Huaiyu was puzzled, "What are you going to do there suddenly?"
"It's close to a first-tier city. And it's lively." He didn't change his face and said without a heartbeat. "It's all right here anyway, so I should go sightseeing."
Huaiyu was a little embarrassed: "Is it okay to leave like this? So sooner or later is the appointment coming?"
"It's okay," he said. "When he comes soon, it won't be too late to deal with it."
Hearing his relaxed tone, Li Huaiyu felt it was no big deal in a daze. After thinking about it for a while, he nodded and said, "Yes. They and I have suffered so long in the first-tier cities, so let them relax."
"Then it's settled." Jiang Xuanjin said, "be prepared for tomorrow."
"Okay." Huaiyu nodded obediently, and sat down on the side of the bed following his strength. Seeing that he wanted to leave, he grabbed him and didn't let go.
Jiang Xuanjin looked at her suspiciously, and the moonlight came in through the carved window next to her, shining brightly in her eyes.
"You accompany me to sleep." She was half acting coquettishly and half shamelessly.
Her body was slightly stiff, Jiang Xuanjin shook her head: "Your stomach."
Such a big one, if he is on the same bed with her, what if he is squeezed?
"Because of this stomach, I can't sleep well no matter what." I squatted my mouth aggrievedly, Huaiyu said, "You are by my side, maybe I can feel better."
Jiang Xuanjin pursed her lips and stared at her stomach, "Why do you sleep well?"
"This is not easy to hold." She pointed to her swollen belly, "It's too high to put a pillow on it, and it's too empty for a cushion."
He pulled the robe and hung it on the side screen, he motioned her to go to bed, and then lay on her side.
Huaiyu smiled and hugged his arm: "Jun Ziyang is really good to talk now."
Leaning over coldly, he said: "I used to be hard to talk?"
Huaiyu's eyes widened: "You used to be difficult to talk? You didn't let people talk to you at all! Do you still remember the time when Baihua Jun came to the Northern Wei Dynasty in the fifth year of Daxing? After a mouthful, you blocked me back."
Thinking back about what she said, Jiang Xuanjin said: "You said at the time that you should welcome him with the highest courtesy."
"Yes!"
The eldest princess, who was dressed in a Yaochi peony palace costume, sat high on the side of the emperor and said with a smile: "Eastern Jin Dynasty Baihua Jun has an outstanding status, and I should also have a great country style in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
"His Royal Highness." Ziyang Jun at the lower right corner interrupted her with a cold face, "No matter how high the status of Baihuajun is, he is only a monarch, not the lord of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. If you greet you with this courtesy, he will be the lord of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Come, how should you welcome it?"
Li Huaiyu clearly remembered Jiang Xuanjin's tone at the time. It was a cruel and ruthless one, and she didn't give her face at all.
Thinking of the scene, Jiang Xuanjin said slightly: "I didn't know at the time."
"Don't know what?" Huaiyu pinched his arm with hatred, pretending to be angry.
This person turned his head, naturally put his hand under her belly, and opened his thin lips slightly: "I don't know that Mrs. Mirai is sitting on it, it's impolite."
With a "bang", a firework exploded in my heart, drawing out the sky full of brilliance, Huaiyu stared at him stupidly, and after confirming that the words came out of his mouth, the corners of his mouth went to ears a little bit The root is cracked.
The reserved and elegant Ziyang-jun... have you talked to her for love? Is there anything that can keep these words? She wants to beat the gongs and drums to tell the whole world!
"Say it again," she said with bright eyes.
Jiang Xuanjin seemed to react, pursing her lips, and whispered: "Go to bed, it's late."
"I'll go to sleep when you say it!" She shamed.
Covering her eyes with a headache, he was slightly annoyed: "If you mess around, I will go back to the room."
With his mouth flat, Li Huaiyu couldn't stop smiling, his eyes blinking, his eyelashes scratching his palms, he was trying to tease him, who knew that after a while, he was tired first and yawned.
Maybe it's really because of Jiang Xuanjin's side. She always felt that she slept sideways today more comfortably than usual, her belly is no longer empty, and her breath is full of reassuring fragrance.
So after a while, Huaiyu fell asleep deeply.
The hand under her stomach didn't dare to move, Jiang Xuanjin let go of her breath and looked sideways at her face.
I have been raising well recently, without too much worry, this little face is finally rounded up. Qi Jin said that by raising the body in this way before giving birth, it can reduce the danger by two points.
That being the case, Jiang Xuanjin thought. Then let her be healthy. Anything that would disturb her raising a fetus should be kept away from her invisible.
In the past, I didn't know that this was his wife, how offended, but now there are opportunities, and he can slowly compensate her.
Huaiyu slept very well this time. When she woke up, Jiang Xuanjin was gone. Qing Si stood by her bed respectfully and said: "Master, everyone has already started packing."
"Huh? You know you are going to Ziyang Border Town?" Huaiyu asked with a yawn.
Qingsi nodded: "Junshang told the people in the mansion early in the morning that the two adults, Qingxian and Bai Ai, will leave later, and the rest will leave as soon as noon."
So anxious? Huaiyu nodded without asking more, and then got up to freshen up and see what to bring.
There is peace in the princess mansion. The entire first-tier city is panic.
A large number of officers and soldiers poured into the city and escorted the old and weak women and children to Ziyang Border City. Among the mature men who volunteered, they put on armor and joined the army to help. Some unwilling, also evacuated after the women and children. Everyone knows that the imperial court has sent troops to the first-tier cities. If you don't leave, you will have to harm Chi Yu.
Jiang Xuanjin successively sent letters to Pingling, Changlin, Nanping, Gongyi and other places, warning them that the emperor had the intention of forcibly cutting the land. Tensions everywhere, watching the situation here from afar.
Just after the Battle of Wuzi Canyon, he was leading his troops to retreat, and now they met with the tail army of Jia Liang's group, and together with the defenders in the first-line city, they were in a forward and backward attack.
Jia Liang panic! He took the saint's will, did not even enter the gates of the first-tier cities, so he must fight first? But Ziyang Jun's killing intent was naked, and it was useless for him to ask for peace. If he couldn't break into the first-tier city, he would be surrounded and killed outside the city gate.
After thinking for a long time, Jia Liang still ordered the army to enter the city. At least he must break the deadlock first and save his life.
"Kill—" The voice screamed from outside the city gate, and Jiang Xuanjin stood on the top of the tower, watching and asking the person next to him quietly: "Did you see clearly?"
The spy was sweating, and he repeatedly bowed his hands at him: "The little one will go back to your princes."
The hand that the imperial court moved first, the facts are before us! The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, if even Ziyang Jun and the princess can't keep this line of cities. So how can all local princes keep their fiefs?
The people in the first-tier cities fled and scattered into the surrounding areas. So the news that the imperial court sent troops to attack the first-tier cities quickly spread throughout the Northern Wei Dynasty.
However, Jia Liang didn’t know anything. He only felt that the city was too easy to enter, and there seemed to be very few people in the city. After being puzzled, he began to search for the whereabouts of Lord Ziyang, only to find that he was not in the city, the princess mansion in the city. Also empty.
"It always feels a little weird," he muttered to himself, "didn't someone say before that there are so many guards in the city?"
"It must be that our people are too mighty and scared them to run away!" Someone nearby smiled and flattered.
"No." Jia Liang shook his head, "It would be okay for others to say, but Ziyang Jun has no reason to be afraid of us."
Even if they entered the city, they didn't dare to take Jiang Xuanjin's behavior. He was still ready to plead guilty early in the morning. The result is good now, an empty city, Ziyang Jun directly disappeared.
Jia Liang was uneasy, but his men were delighted as soon as they entered the city. Taking advantage of the ignorance of the above, they began to smash the houses in the city with officials. Search for property.
"It's too much!" After hearing the news, Jun Chang Lin said angrily, "The first-tier city is an isolated city. If it weren't for the princess and the prince Ziyang, the people there would have died. Now it's hard to get a better chance. The court thought it was good. Come to take over, it is clear that it is a robbery!
"Isn't it? Your Majesty agreed to our request some time ago, saying that it was a tax cut, but the salt tax was reduced, and it was added elsewhere. It hasn't changed at all. What kind of grace should it be." The staff sighed, " To be frank, our majesty is really greedy."
"What did Pingling say?"
"Prince Pingling has a hard time talking about it. The emperor sent troops from him to deal with King Ziyang. He was a hundred people unwilling, but he was rebelling against him." Last time, you can sell Ziyang Jun a favor."
"Oh?" Chang Linjun asked. "How to sell it?"
"Jun Ziyang is now the one with the strongest military strength. He is not unable to fight, but he is afraid to fight this line of cities head-on with the court, for fear of rebellion." said the aides, "The king can be with Nanping. Together, Jun, stand out for Jun Ziyang. Squeeze down the strength of the mausoleum. This way. Not only gave Jun Pingling down the steps, but also helped Jun Ziyang. The favors on both sides are available, and Jun Ziyang’s knowledge and grace will be reported. You can't benefit Changlin because of his temperament?"
It makes sense! Chang Lin Jun twisted his beard and pondered carefully for a long time, then nodded: "You can try it."
It happened that Nanping Jun also wanted to help the princess, so he hid behind Nanping Jun to show up. Favor was caught, and nothing fell to him.
After all, Chang Lin sent a letter to Nanping and integrated more than 3,000 people. After joining the army of Nanping, they all headed to the first-tier city.
There was nothing wrong with this decision. Jiang Xuanjin did indeed prepare a generous gift of appreciation to Jun Changlin, but since the forces of these two monarchs reached the first-tier cities, they became the real "Ziyang Jun comrades" in the eyes of the emperor.
Li Huailin is thousands of miles away, and he doesn't know whether they are here to persuade peace or what they are doing. He only knows that these few princes not only jointly play to ask for tax cuts, but also protect Ziyangjun in every move. He is not the emperor at all. Keep it in the eye.
The courtiers became nervous, and everyone knew what it meant to the court once the monarch made chaos. If a monarch is in chaos, there is still room for relaxation. So many people join forces to cause chaos, are they afraid that they will overturn the Northern Wei Dynasty?
Li Huailin was also a little panicked. He just wanted to bring Sister Huang back. Who knew how to get involved with Jun Ziyang, and so many people?
If you retreat, the court will have no face. If you don’t retreat, you can only do both soft and hard to give this group of people a bit of color.
Li Huailin also wanted to use Pingling's people, but Lord Pingling directly pretended to be dead, and no longer listened to his manual dispatch. If it was someone else, even Lord Pingling helped Jiang Xuanjin, and Li Huailin was really angry.
"Through my decree, Lord Pingling resists the decree and does not comply with it. If it violates the laws of the country, he will be arrested immediately and returned to Kyoto, waiting to be sent!"
If you don’t dare to take Jiang Xuanjin's knife, you can only kill the chicken from Li Fangwu. Huailin thinks is simple. After all, he is a brother. He can't really deal with Li Fangwu. He just wants to catch someone back and ask him. What does it mean?
However, what he didn't know was that Jiang Xuanjin arrived at Pingling early in a letter before his imperial decree, reminding Mr. Pingling to be careful and to accompany him like a tiger.
Li Fangwu was still hesitating whether to seek a favor with Lord Ziyang like Lord Changlin. He didn't hesitate after hearing the imperial decree of sin, and immediately blocked the border city of Pingling and contacted Lord Changlin.
"What are you laughing at?" Huaiyu stood in the courtyard, looked sideways at Jiang Xuanjin next to him, shivering, "Why suddenly laugh so strangely?"
Jiang Xuanjin hooked her lips, and put her hand in her cloak: "I just think the weather is good today."
