A scolding

Shen Yuexi received the reply from Prince Qi in the evening a day and a half later.

At this moment, there are still four to five days before the arrival of the Xirong army. Qiu Liming and Zhang Song led some soldiers to Xiaogang Village to assist the residents in evacuating. Maipu is receiving treatment from Doctor Hua.

The dusty courier handed the reply to her, and she took it with anxiety. The first thing she noticed was the beautiful handwriting on the cover. The handwriting didn't look like a man's handwriting, but more like it was written by a woman.

Could it be that Xiao Beiheng didn't bother to reply and asked his maid to write it to her?

Having no time to care about these things, she broke the seal and pulled out the letter.

It was written to her by the Crown Princess of Qi, who called herself Su Mo. In the letter, Su Mo first expressed his curiosity and envy for her, saying that if they met one day, he would like to see what the "ball flying in the sky" is. Next, reinforcements were mentioned. It was impossible for reinforcements to come, and Shen Yuexi was advised to evacuate in time.

Shen Yuexi threw the letter on the table and leaned back on the chair.

This imperial concubine is really out of place. Now everyone here is jumping up and down in a hurry, and she is actually gossiping about something in her letter. Besides, I have no good impression of Xiao Beiheng in the first place, and I also hate this imperial concubine. This is called hating the house.

But she didn't know her, and the danger had nothing to do with her, so there was no reason to worry about her. It was expected that the road would be cut off.

It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on heaven and earth. The more critical the situation is, the more you need to calm down and think of a solution.

Shen Yuexi closed her eyes, folded her hands behind her head and thought.

My husband, Xiao Zhuo, is now surrounded by the Xirong army in Xirong territory. There is no hope for these cavalry.

Now Xiao Beiheng also refuses to provide help.

General Wei at the border... It's even more impossible. The emperor strictly ordered the Yan defenders not to leave the border. How many of his heads dared to disobey the order?

Only Mei Pu was left. He had already sent a letter to the King of Xiliang, asking his father to send troops to help Xiao Zhuo. He didn't know what the King of Xiliang's attitude was. It was time for a reply.

Yes, let's go see Maple.

Shen Yuexi opened her eyes and jumped up, opened the door and ran out of the house where she was.

Although the mountain breeze is cold at night, the lights in the Taoist temple are brightly lit, people are coming and going, and there is a continuous sound of tinkling. The sergeants are expanding the residences for the people to accommodate the people who are coming to Xiaogang Village.

Shen Yuexi walked through the crowd and came to the backyard of the Taoist temple. She said to Yang Cong who was guarding the door of Maple's room: "Yang Cong, has a messenger been here?"

Yang Cong put down the half-bitten pie in his hand, wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "I just left. The prince is still reading the letter. I was just about to inform Madam you."

"Really?" A glimmer of hope ignited in Shen Yuexi's heart.

Will the King of Xiliang send troops to help Xiao Zhuo? If he can help Xiao Zhuo get out of trouble, and Xiao Zhuo is all cavalry, he may be able to rush back before the Xirong army arrives. With Xiao Zhuo's ability, 20,000 Xirong troops are not a problem.

"Yang Cong, I want to see the crown prince. Give me the mask." She stretched out her hand.

Before Yang Cong agreed, Mi Pu's voice came from inside the room: "No need, reply here. Just give it to Mrs. Shen."

The voice sounded listless, and Shen Yuexi wondered if she would also be rejected.

A sergeant came out and handed the letter to her, and Shen Yuexi couldn't wait to unfold it. The first line of the letter was filled with two words:

"The traitor!"

Shen Yuexi thought to herself: It’s over.

Next, the King of Xiliang scolded him, saying that Ma Pu had led his cavalry to leave privately, and the army of Xirong rushed over. The King of Xiliang's army could not resist it, and there were countless casualties. He tried to retreat to Yongwei but was intercepted again. Fortunately, he held it in Leshan. Already.

All this is the fault of the rebellious son Mei Pu. If Xiao Zhuo had not led the cavalry to lure the Xirong away, his king Mei Cheng of Xiliang would really have become the "King of Xiliang".

Now that we are finally safe, I actually asked me to send troops to attack Xirong. Is this what my son said? Xiao Zhuo's life is life, but your father's life is not life?

The whole article is a rebuke of Maple, and it is summed up in a sentence to the effect: If I don't go, I will squat in Yongwei. Whoever wants to go can go.

After Shen Yuexi read it, she resisted the urge to tear up the letter and handed it back to Yang Cong.

Really speechless.

Yang Cong looked sideways at her and asked: "Mother, the prince just asked if Xiao Beiheng also refused to help?"

Shen Yuexi nodded.

"Then what should we do? We can only hide, right?" Yang Cong had a lonely look on his face, "It's such a pity that our village, which has some charm, will be destroyed by Xirong again."

"It's okay. The village can be rebuilt after it is destroyed." Shen Yuexi put his hand on her shoulder, "As long as the people are okay."

Yang Cong shook his head and said: "What's the use of building more. Xirong will still come, and it has been like this for so many years. We have endured it for so many years, thinking we can live a good life..."

Shen Yuexi didn't know how to answer the reality she spoke of.

Xiaogang Village is separated from Xirong by the Langya Pass, so Xirong can come if he wants. Unless the whole village is moved, it will be really difficult to avoid the war in this place.

Both of them were silent for a while.

While I was worrying, a woman's voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Oh, this place is much better. At least it's a place for people to live."

When Shen Yuexi turned around, she saw Li Wan and Mrs. Li walking in from the gate with a package on their arms.

Mrs. Li smiled and said to her: "So Miss Shen is here too, Xizi is in the room?"

"Yeah." Shen Yuexi replied with one word.

Unexpectedly, the mother and daughter ran quite fast. Among the villagers, they were the first to run to Baixiu Mountain. It seemed that the higher they were, the more they were afraid of death.

"Wan'er, go take care of Xizi," Mrs. Li said to Li Wan with a smile, "Xizi likes the food cooked by Wan'er the most. Let's live next door to Xizi."

Yang Cong curled his lips and whispered: "Two ghosts who are afraid of death."

Mrs. Li couldn't hear clearly, but Li Wan heard it and pointed at Yang Cong: "You village woman, what are you talking about? Who said we are afraid?"

Yang Cong snorted and said: "Miss, if you just say you are not afraid, why did you two come over in the first place?"

Shen Yuexi felt her head hurt. At this time, it was better not to argue over such trivial matters.

She said to Yang Cong: "They are my husband's relatives, so General Qiu should pick them up first."

Mrs. Li raised her hand and pressed Li Wan's hand that was raised in the air, and said: "Miss Yang, you have really wronged us mother and daughter. If you don't, we will be the first to come. Otherwise, no one will leave."

"Aren't you leaving?" Shen Yuexi and Yang Cong said in unison.

Isn’t this too fake? The Xirong army is about to attack, but these villagers actually refuse to escape?

Li Wan rolled her eyes at Yang Cong and said to Shen Yuexi: "Really, everyone is worshiping the gods at the temple in the square. My mother said that the prince needs to be taken care of, so we came here."

Worship gods?

Shen Yuexi was startled. Could it be that there was another liar like Hua Duoduo? She quickly asked: "How old is the immortal and what does he look like?"

Mrs. Li waved her hand and said, "If you don't want to scream at people, just scream at the statue enshrined in the temple."

"Ah..." Shen Yuexi was stunned upon hearing this.

"General Qiu also asked Li Zheng why he didn't leave," Li Wan said. "Li Zheng said they were born there and died there. They would never leave Xiaogang Village. In the previous battle, the statue conjured 40,000 crossbow arrows out of thin air to help My cousin defeated the enemy army. Now they have to pray devoutly to make the idol appear again."

In the first half, Shen Yuexi understood clearly. The remaining residents of Xiaogang Village were determined not to leave their ancestral land. She knew it from the beginning.

In the second half, it is said that the villagers are worshiping the idol. This is...
