Youjing Linshuo Palace.

Late autumn has arrived, and the red leaves on the mountain are reddish outside the palace, which is very beautiful.

On the star-gazing pavilion on the rockery in the harem garden, Li Zhiwan and Jian Xue and his servant sat in the pavilion.

Li Zhiwan was wearing a fox fur and holding her chin, enjoying the autumn scenery. Jian Xuedao was pouting, his face full of unhappiness. While Li Zhiwan was cooking tea, he was muttering.

"Empress, this Youjing is really lonely. It is not as good as Chang'an and Taiyuan. It is cold and has no fun. You can't leave the palace casually. In the past, on your birthday, those who came to pay congratulations and give gifts were about to break the threshold of our mansion. The prince and the king of Qi have gifts every year. I still remember that the prince invited the best hundred operas in Chang'an that Mid-Autumn Festival that year..."

Li Zhiwan looked at the red leaves in the middle of the mountain and said lightly: "Then otherwise I will stay, and you will go back to Chang'an first?"

Jianxue pouted and said, "Miss, I'll just complain. If you don't complain about this life, you will be unable to live."

Li Zhiwan untied the fox fur and said, "I'll comfort you, who can comfort me? Since entering the palace, I have been incompatible with the queen. This queen is worthy of being the princess of the previous dynasty. Her methods are really powerful, and she doesn't need to do anything deliberately. The people in the six palaces have become much colder to me."

Jianxue lowered his head and said, "Miss, you gave up Chang'an, your relatives, betrayed the Li family, and married the emperor. Have you ever regretted it?"

Li Zhiwan turned around and said, "I have talked to you several times. I chose this path, so how can I talk about regret?"

After hearing Li Zhiwan's words, Jian Xue smiled and buried her head. After Li Chongjiu left, the master and servant were bored every day, but they were fighting like this every day. After the fight, Li Zhiwan looked at Hongye halfway up the mountain. Jian Xue continued to cook tea.

"This is the Jiangnan fragrant tea specially ordered by His Majesty to send someone to the Jiangdu after he captured Jiangdu." Jian Xue said with a smile.

Li Zhiwan took the tea bowl and was taking a sip. At this time, the sound of messy footsteps came from the palace. There was a clang of armor collision in the middle.

Li Zhiwan had been through military service for a long time, and when she heard the hurried steps of the soldiers, she knew what had happened. She immediately stood up in clothes, but saw a team of court guards running in Linshuo Palace and coming to the pavilion.

The headed general of the court guard bowed to Li Zhiwan and said, "Report to the Empress, the last emperor will be ordered to come and protect the Empress to Youjing City."

Li Zhiwan asked, "What's the matter so scared?"

The general of the court guard said: "Report to the Empress, 200,000 Turkic cavalry invaded the territory, bypassed Huaihuang and Yuyi Towns. After breaking through the Great Wall, he had already attacked the Senei."

Just as this person finished speaking, he secretly looked up at Li Zhiwan's expression, but seeing that she was very calm and had no expression of fear, he thought to himself that this imperial concubine was really amazing, and her demeanor was calm. It seemed that she did not take the 200,000 Turkic cavalry into her eyes at all.

The general guessed in his heart what the empress was, but he still said: "Now there are beads outside Youjing City. Linshuo Palace was built outside Youjing City. The last time the Turks attacked, a fierce battle broke out here, so the Empress asked the Empress to take refuge in the city for a while."

"Okay, I'll follow you. Lead the way!"

"How many valuables should I bring?"

Li Zhiwan said: "No need, the military situation is like fire. If so, you can borrow the weapons from each of us, our master and servant. At least you can defend yourself during the chaos."

The general was stunned. Seeing that the other party was not joking, he said, "Yes, I will do it."

From Linshuo Palace to the gate of the north city of Youjing City, several miles away, there are scenes of chaos everywhere.

The beacon towers erected on the undulating peaks of Youjing far away were burning with long smoke. The wolf smoke that soared straight into the sky broke through the tranquility near Youjing and woke up the peaceful people. The Turkic cavalry had not arrived, but it seemed that the sound of horse hooves had already stepped in everyone's heart.

Li Zhiwan watched the people around Youjing support each other, and countless people waved their arms and called their children among the crowd. The county soldiers wearing leather armor outside the city were maintaining order, and there were also many powerful men from Yan and Zhao, holding swords and guns and riding horses, as if they wanted to fight against the Turks.

The people near Youjing under the city came to escape. The grass market in Youjing was even larger than that in Huaihuang Town, but they were not protected by the Huaihuang Town wall. The population gathered outside Youjing City had more than 100,000 people. When they heard the news of the attack on the Turks, they could only take shelter in the city.

On the top of the north city of Youjing City, Yang Ehuang looked at the scene where the people under the city helped each other into the city and couldn't help but turn around and angrily said to the two prime ministers of Zhao State behind him: "You always say that Youjing is not worried about the Turkic attacks. This is still heard yesterday, but today it has become like this. How can our court be worthy of our people in this way?"

Seeing Yang Ehuang getting angry, Wen Yanbo could only say: "Empress, this time the Turks attacked the city of Youjing again, mainly because Tuli was defeated too quickly, far beyond our expectations. Who would have known that Tuli's army of 70,000 to 80,000 will collapse so quickly. It would be fine if Tuli collapsed, but my grassland cavalry was 50,000, and my prairie cavalry was still in Shanxi and he did not come back. Your Majesty was also in Luoyang. The Songmo Protectorate and Ruoshuizhou Protectorate were not strong enough to restrain Jie Li Khan's 200,000 cavalry. That was why the Turks drove in."

Yang Ehuang shook his head and said, "I don't have military affairs. You tell me these things are useless. You just need to tell me if Youjing can be defended? Wen Aiqing, I don't need you to say good things. Wei Zheng, you say, even if you say it bluntly, I can bear the consequences of any bad results."

Wen Yanbo and Wei Zheng both lowered their heads.

Wei Zheng had no expression on his face and said immediately: "Your Majesty Nan Zheng transferred the Wu Guards, Yi Guards, and the Court Guards. There are not many people in the city who can fight. This time, unlike the last Turkic invasion, we were prepared for the last Turkic invasion, so although the situation was dangerous, there was no big worry, but this time it was caught off guard. According to Wei Chen, Youjing may not be able to defend."

"Do you mean to abandon Youjing?" Yang Ehuang asked, looking at the tens of thousands of people under the city who were about to enter the city and asked Wei Zheng.

"Of course not," Wei Zheng straightened his back and said sternly, "Your Majesty, I'm so old, I'm so sorry, so I'm determined to live and die with Youjing City with more than 30 family members. But the queen doesn't have to take risks, and begs the queen to leave Youjing with His Majesty's children, so that I can give it a try."

After hearing Wei Zheng's words, Yang Ehuang nodded and looked at the northern dialect, saying, "Wei Aiqing's words make sense. Youjing City is indeed a dangerous place at the moment. Unfortunately, my sister is not in Youjing and there is no news, otherwise..."

Speaking of this, Yang Ehuang wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned his head to the eunuch and said, "It's meaningless to say these things now. Just follow what Wei Aiqing said, let the imperial concubine, Su Guiren, Ying'er, Caiwei leave Youjing and take a boat to Dengzhou to take a shortage."

"promise."

"Empress?" Wei Zheng said in surprise.
