Ji Xiang and his party followed Wu Ning's army until they reached a place thirty miles away from the south gate of Xuzhou City before they separated.

Because Wu Ning's army, as a neighboring army, could not enter Xuzhou City without orders, Murong Yan had his troops stationed on the spot and sent a deputy general to accompany Ji Xiang and others to enter the city first to pay homage to King Ning.

Tian Muyu's eyes became wet inexplicably when he saw Jixiang standing outside the city gate with a big belly.

He hurriedly came down from the city wall and ordered people to open the door to greet him.

"Princess!" As soon as the heavy door creaked open, Tian Muyu rushed out.

He hugged the princess in front of him tightly, whom he thought about and worried about day and night, and was so choked that he could not speak.

Princess Linglong saw that Tian Muyu only had eyes for her own princess, not even her cousin, so she couldn't help curling her lips and making a sound.

"Brother Yu only has Mrs. Wang in his eyes, not me as a sister!"

Hearing Linglong's voice, Tian Muyu was startled, and then said, "Linglong?!"

Turning his head to look over, he saw that Linglong was indeed looking at him.

She couldn't help but feel extremely happy, "Linglong, why did you come to Xuzhou?!"

"Of course it's for you and the emperor." Jixiang told everything about Linglong secretly leaving the capital to find her in Suzhou.

After hearing this, Tian Muyu opened his arms and hugged Linglong, "My good sister, thank you for your hard work."

Linglong and Tian Muyu had never been so close before, so she quickly pushed him away, "Oh, you already have a sister-in-law Wang, so don't hug other women anymore, she will be sad if she sees her."

Tian Muyu quickly looked at Jixiang, fearing that Jixiang was really angry.

Ji Xiang smiled and said, "Brothers and sisters, please be closer. Why should I be angry? If Linglong hadn't brought King Annan's list, our situation would have been even more dangerous."

"Everyone on the list will support us?"

"At least the Wuning Army has sent troops to support us." Ji Xiang said and pointed behind him, "This Vice General Li was sent by Mr. Murong to protect us. Mr. Murong has already led troops and is stationed thirty miles away."

Vice General Li immediately saluted Tian Muyu and said, "General, I will pay my respects to the prince!"

"No gifts, no gifts," Tian Muyu was surprised, "Master Murong is here in person?!"

"So my father's men are reliable, right?!" Linglong was a little proud.

"Yes, yes," Tian Muyu said as he helped Jixiang walk to the city gate, "I will arrange for you to stay first, and then I will go to see Lord Murong."

"Where are Tian Muhuan and the others now?"

"We have been stationed outside the North City Gate for eight days. We sent people to call for formation every day, but as soon as our people went out, they fled without fighting. This made General Xiong very angry and he has already lost two generals one after another."

Ji Xiang frowned, "You lost two generals before the war even started? Why is General Xiong so restless?!" He started walking as he spoke.

"Get Brother Xiong quickly, I want to see him!"

Tian Muyu immediately arranged for Guard Li to call Xiong Er.

Linglong saw that Jixiang and Tian Muyu had something important to do, so she grabbed Jiang Peipei's arm, "Brother Yu, Sister-in-law Wang, Peipei and I won't go back to the government office with you. Let's go to the city for a walk first!"

Tian Muyu's eyes were all on Jixiang, and he couldn't help but nodded, "Bring a few guards, there are Tian Muhuan's spies in the city, be careful."

Linglong was surprised, "Why are there Tian Muhuan's spies? How do you defend the city?"

"These are all necessary for the two soldiers to fight. If the princess is afraid, please come back to the government office with us first."

Linglong quit immediately and looked at Jiang Peipei, "Are you afraid?"

Jiang Peipei smiled, "Wouldn't it be better if we really encountered a spy and caught him?"

"Yes, yes, let's go catch the spies!" He said and ordered a few guards, "You guys follow us, but don't follow us too closely, you know?"

"You want to make people feel that you are just patrolling, not protecting us."

Several guards looked at Tian Muyu.

Tian Muyu nodded and told them to do so.

So, Princess Linglong took Jiang Peipei and went to patrol the streets with great pride.

When Jixiang and Tian Muyu arrived at the government office, Xiong Er was already waiting there. Seeing Jixiang, he hurriedly bent down to salute.

"Greetings, Miss!"

Jixiang waved his hand to excuse himself and sat down at the Eight Immortals table with Tian Muyu's support. "I'm relatively heavy now, so I'm too lazy to say some things. Let's get down to business."

Xiong Er nodded.

"First of all, Sister Zaohua and the two children are still in the Dali Temple prison, but King Annan has entrusted the care of Dali Temple Qing Yan Henian. At least they have not suffered any physical pain."

Xiong Er was a little moved, "Xiong Er thanks King Annan."

"We have no power to influence matters in the capital, so is there any hope for Tian Muhuan to win now?"

"If we can't defend the city, we can at least hold on for more than a month."

"What about the food and grass?!"

"Don't worry about food and grass. My two grandfathers have already sent people to deliver a lot." Tian Muyu said quickly, "And my cousin also said that my grandfather is still continuing to purchase."

"Although we have no worries about food and grass, it is not the reason for us to defend the city. We should take the initiative and take down Tian Muhuan!"

Tian Muyu and Xiong Er were both shocked.

"Princess, do you have an idea?" Tian Muyu is very aware of Ji Xiang's unexpected ideas. Ever since he met Jixiang, Jixiang would always find a way to survive in difficult and dangerous situations.

"I'm here to lure Tian Muhuan into battle." Ji Xiang said calmly.

Tian Muyu and Xiong Er were shocked again.
