When the news of the attack in Xizhou was heard back to the capital, it was the day when Jiang Yanyi returned to the door.

After Feng Shuo received the urgent report from the Chu family, Chu Changping and his son immediately returned to the royal palace with him to discuss the situation with the rest of his subordinates.

When Jiang Yanyi learned that Xizhou was in war, she remembered the dream she had that night, and felt a chill on her back.

The spy only brought back the news of the attack in Xizhou, and it is still unknown what the battle situation there is.

General An and his wife, Okra, Blacksmith, Zhao Touer, Cook Yao and Cook Li are all in Xizhou. If Xizhou is captured, Jiang Yanyi dare not imagine what the situation would be.

As soon as this wave was settled, another wave started. Old Lady Chu and Old Master Chu sighed at the national fortune of the Daxuan Dynasty: "Fortunately, Daxuan was supported by the King of Liaonan, otherwise he would have been a mermaid meat long ago."

"The evils committed by several generations of emperors have returned in this dynasty, and it has suffered the King of Southern Liao."

When the Emperor of the Great Qi was in power, he was debauchery in his early years and devoted himself to immortality in his later years. He not only indulged in refining alchemy and abandoned the government, but also exhausted the people and damaged their wealth to build the imperial tomb that helped him ascend.

When the founding emperor of Daxuan was granted the title of Zuo and usurped the throne, there was a lot of voice among the people.

It’s a pity that he was very suspicious in his later years, knowing that he was planning to usurp the throne, and he was always wary of his ministers, and regarded power as more important than life. Many loyal and kind people died of his suspicion.

If the Emperor of the Daqi destroyed the people's livelihood, then the founding Emperor of the Daxuan country Feng Zuo himself destroyed the court in his later years.

Now that all the forces within the Daxuan Dynasty are separatist, they can only unite and barely unite to the outside world by Feng Shuo’s efforts to overwhelm the heroes. At present, this form is more appropriate to say internal and external troubles.

Mrs. Chu only left Jiang Yanyi for lunch and urged her to return to the royal palace: "You are now the wife of Feng family. The king of Liaonan fought south and north. You have to deal with everything in your family. Last time, the Turkic attacked, Daxuan fought for seven years before he beat the barbarians on the horse back. This time, I don't know how many years it will take to fight. You are a bride, and the affairs of the royal palace are complicated. You have to learn to take care of it. Grandma will not keep you for more, so go back."

Jiang Yanyi also wanted to know more specific battle reports about Xizhou from Feng Shuo, so he retired with great luck: "The granddaughter will come back to see you next day."

After bidding farewell to Mrs. Chu, Xue sent Jiang Yanyi out, and she wanted to speak but stopped along the way.

Jiang Yanyi asked: "Is sister-in-law bothering about Ruyilou?"

Xue nodded in shame. As soon as she took over the business of Ruyilou in Beijing, war broke out in Xizhou. You must know that Ruyilou was first started in Xizhou. Seeing that the old shops were not saved, some wealthy businessmen in Beijing changed their minds and wanted to withdraw their shares. Xue encountered such a thing in business and didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

She said: "Behind the shopkeeper Huang in Shunde Building is Zhongyong Hou's Mansion. He took the lead in yelling to withdraw the shares. The others were also acting according to the direction of the wind. Manager Huang also brought people to the building for a while. I couldn't think of a way to block his mouth, so I had to avoid it first."

At this critical moment, Jiang Yanyi did not focus on the Ruyi Tower in the capital, and said directly: "Since he wants to withdraw his shares, he will return his share to him."

"But..." Xue was a little hesitant.

Jiang Yanyi looked into her eyes and said, "Sister-in-law only needs to know that businessmen like to weigh the pros and cons the most. He shouted to withdraw shares, and maybe he wanted to judge whether this business was a profitable deal based on our attitude."

"The more we act, the more vigilant the merchants will be. When we return the money we have, they will lose their composure, for fear that some of our business will be in stakes, and there is no shortage of some money they have in their hands."

After this call, Xue's wife suddenly opened her mouth and smiled bitterly: "It's still Ayi, you are smart."

Jiang Yanyi said: "When my sister-in-law returns the shares of the Huang family, don't be too polite. Behind his Shunde Building is the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, and behind Ruyi Building is the Chu family and me. We don't use power to suppress others, but if someone takes chicken feathers as a command arrow, my sister-in-law doesn't need to keep a face."

To put it bluntly, it is OK to withdraw the shares, but the other party must also understand who the person who offended this withdrawal.

Xue turned her worries into joy and nodded repeatedly: "I remember everything."

When Jiang Yanyi returned to Feng Mansion, he saw a Xuanjia Guard gathering outside the mansion. He guessed that Feng Shuo was about to go to Xizhou in person again.

She quickly walked into the mansion with her skirt. As soon as she walked to the front yard, she met Feng Shuo, who was wearing Rong's armor, hurriedly walked from the inner yard.

Seeing her, Feng Shuo just paused slightly and said, "The war situation in Xizhou is urgent, and the situation is probably not good. I will lead the troops to go in person."

If Chi Qing is Feng Shuo's arm, then An Yongyuan is definitely Feng Shuo's other arm. Jiang Yanyi knew that he must not lose the talent of a general like An Yongyuan.

She looked at him, and no matter how many words she said, it only turned into one sentence: "The battlefield sword has no eyes, you should be careful in everything."

Feng Shuo wanted to say something else, but a young general at the gate had already started urging: "Prince, the troops of King Beiqin and the Marquis of Wu are waiting outside the city."

Jiang Yanyi's eyes were red unconsciously and said, "Go."

Feng Shuo glanced at her deeply and squeezed her palm hard: "You must take good care of yourself in Beijing."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away quickly.

Jiang Yanyi raised his hand and wanted to grab something, but the only thing that passed between his fingers was the cold north wind.

Feng Shuo walked out of the gate, turned over and did not look back.

Seeing Jiang Yanyi's eyes were red, Chen Yu advised: "Dong... Princess, let's go out to see the prince off?"

Jiang Yanyi shook her head, "It's just a matter of being sad about parting. He doesn't want to be sad when he sees me, so he never looks back."

She turned around and was about to go to the yard of the Taihuang Concubine, but a servant suddenly rushed in: "Princess, I have your letter!"

"My letter?" Jiang Yanyi was a little confused.

The servant stood in front of her and gasped, saying, "I sent it from Xizhou."

As soon as he heard the word "Xizhou", Jiang Yanyi's eyes changed.

She took the letter, took a quick look after it was opened, her face became extremely solemn, and she ordered the servant: "You go to the Huo Escort Agency to find their boss and let her come to the royal palace."

After the servant got the words, he hurried out of the mansion to the Huo Escort Agency.

Xizhou.

The heavy snow that had been falling for several days covered the charred and blood at the city gate.

The city gate of Xizhou City was as broken as dead leaves in the wind. Behind the city gate was supported by wood as thick as a bowl, and in front were the corpses of Turkic soldiers piled almost as high as the city gate.

Heavy snow fell on the mountain of corpses, covering up the originally hideous wounds of the corpse.

The soldiers guarding the city casually found a shelter, regardless of whether it was ice or solidified blood. They sat down exhausted and were able to breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.

A muffled groan came from the simple room where the night watchmen were temporarily resting in the city tower.

A fire barn was grown in the room, but outside the ice-drop, people were still trembling with cold.

An Yongyuan was half naked with his upper body, with his shoulders, back and tendons twisted, as strong as a small hill.

However, there were countless sword scars on his body, and the heaviest one was about the arrow wound that was only half an inch away from his heart.

A lot of blood-soaked gauze was piled on the table next to him, and the military doctor's hand that pulled the arrow for him was trembling slightly: "This is the last injury, there is no Ma Fei San, general and ninja."

An Yongyuan looked at the map spread on the table and said without raising his head, "Take it."

The moment the doctor pulled out the arrow hard, An Yongyuan's tendons were as hard as stones, and the wound was bleeding. The doctor hurriedly pressed the wound tightly with gauze, and waited for the blood to stop a little before he quickly applied herbs to bandage it.

"Your arrow is only half an inch away from injury, and it will hurt your heart meridians. Do not keep heavy objects in the near future. It is best to stay in bed and rest." The doctor explained.

An Yongyuan pulled his shirt and looked at the wind and snow outside the city tower, saying, "As long as Xizhou is guarded for one more day, the people of Xizhou can retreat to Xingling. Only by blocking the group of jackals outside the city can the people in the city have a way out."

His expression was dazed for a moment. On the day the Turkic attacks, Mrs. An happened to be in the delivery.

The snow was particularly heavy that night. The deputy general came to the mansion in panic and informed him that when the Turkic attacks at night, the delivery room was filled with Mrs. An's screams of pain. Outside the city gate were the Turkic barbarians who wanted to break through the Daxuan River and Mountains.

He didn't even have time to hesitate, so he raised his troops and rushed to the city gate, leaving behind the shrill and helpless "general" in the snowy night.

It is now the third day, and he has not left at the gate of the city. He has no idea whether Mrs. An’s childbirth will be successful and whether she gave birth to a child or a daughter.

An Yongyuan was unable to escape for too long, and his personal guards quickly ran here in a panic: "General, the Turks have started to attack the city again!"

He smashed the cannon stones thrown by the catapult cart on the city wall, making muffled sounds.

An Yongyuan put on his armor, lifted up the five-hooked halberd leaning against the wall and walked out: "Fight!"

The people of Xizhou who were forced to retreat to Xingling encountered a raid. The guards of the Anfu, who were responsible for defending the An family, fought with the Turkic troops who were bypassing Xizhou and attacking them, and most of them were lost.

After heavy snow for several days, the carriage where Mrs. An was in was sealed tightly, but the carriage was still not as good as at home. The thin walls of the carriage could not block the cold. Mrs. An was still in the confinement period and still felt that her whole body was so cold after covering her several quilts.

The wet nurse died under the hoofs of the Turkic horses during the Turkic army's raid. The child was so hungry that he cried in his cradle. Mrs. An was in the car and hugged the child, she could only cry at a loss.

She had a difficult childbirth, and she learned that An Yongyuan had gone to guard the city gate just after giving birth. She was worried that she was too heavy and her bones were weak. She had taken several doses of milk-induced medicine, but she still had no milk.

On the way to escape, everyone was not careful. No matter how much financial resources An family had, they could not find a wet nurse at this time.

Mrs. An was afraid that the grandson who had finally been waiting for her would be hungry, so she became angry and scolded Mrs. An indignantly, but Mrs. An scolded her daughter-in-law and asked the servants to find out among the people who fled to see which family brought the milk-producing ewes to buy it.

The one who went to do business was an old servant. When he was looking for someone to buy sheep, he found that a pregnant woman was about to give birth. Thinking that if the pregnant woman gave birth, she would have milk on her body to help the young master, she also took the couple over.

It was also coincidental that the old servant was looking for okra and blacksmith.

Okra was nine months pregnant and had difficulty moving. When he left the city and fled south, the blacksmith had prepared a carriage, but when he encountered the Turkic army, the carriage was destroyed. In this cold weather, the blacksmiths were holding Okra deep and shallow.

Okra's belly is too big, and the blacksmith can't even carry her away.

There was frost on the ground this morning, and Okra slipped and saw the red immediately. Although it didn't happen on the spot, Okra kept saying that his belly was falling.

The blacksmith cried several times behind his back. It was snowy and okra really didn't know what to do if he had given birth prematurely on the road.

When he met the old servant from An's mansion, he said he was willing to take them for a ride, and the blacksmith was grateful.

All the Anfu lent them was a simple carriage, which was not shock-proof or warm, but it was much better than walking in the snow with deep foot and shallow foot.

The blacksmith squatted and helped Okra rub his calves to clear his blood vessels, and buried his head very low: "Okra, don't be afraid, I will definitely bring you to the capital."

Okra gently touched the cloth wrapped in the blacksmith's head: "Brother Yong, don't cry, I won't hurt."

Because of her words, the blacksmith could no longer try to hide her sobs, and held Okra's thick waist and choked up because of her pregnancy: "Oh, you must be fine. When you arrive in the capital, I will work hard to make money and buy you and your children a second-hand house..."

Okra nodded, with a little yearning, and there was another serious feeling inside. She touched her high bulge, and there was a pure smile on the corner of her mouth: "Go to the capital to see Huahua, and show Xiaobao to Huahua."

Xiaobao was their nickname for the child. Because they didn’t know whether it was a man or a woman, the blacksmith said that he was called Xiaobao. No matter whether his daughter or a boy, they were their treasures.

Lu Linyuan was also among the people who fled here. After experiencing the raid this morning, he also realized that the Turkic team had to attack from Xizhou, but the team could pass through the border between Daxuan and neighboring countries and bypass Xizhou to attack.

The surrounding areas of Daxuan are small countries, with barren and weak military power. The Turks are unwilling to steal them, and they dare not stop those small countries marching from their territory.

In the morning, the Turks were afraid that the Turks had already figured out the An family's family's family here, and they would not be able to conquer Xizhou City for a while. If they captured An Yongyuan's family as a threat, it would be a big deal.
