The tyrant family read my heart and doted on me.

Chapter 369 We have no choice

"Yes, when His Highness was seeding the beasts in Mobei, one of the conditions was that Mobei secretly dispatched some troops to send troops to Western Chu in a detour and capture the imperial capital of Western Chu."

"Your Highness has a big plan, and he will surely win the capital of Western Chu this time."

The boy who was shrinking his neck tried his best to agree with Dong Buhan's words in order to make Dong Buhan happy and stop losing his temper.

After listening to this, Dong Buhan finally felt better, not as gloomy as before.

He chuckled lightly and said, "Everything is still under my control."

"Feng Jiujiu, I still have hope of winning this round."

.

Xichu, the Imperial Palace.

Emperor Zhaoning was at court as usual, discussing state affairs with ministers, but suddenly urgent news came.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good..."

The solemn court hall was filled with the voices of the guards who were panicking and shouting, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

The sound echoed loudly and clearly, and the people in the hall frowned involuntarily as they listened.

The guard was too anxious. When he rushed to the center of the hall, he fell to the ground and fell to his side in an unseemly manner.

Emperor Zhaoning's expression became even worse.

Gu Ciyue, who was among the civil servants, stood up first and asked, "What's wrong? Speak slowly? Don't be impatient."

"Thousands of Mobei soldiers suddenly appeared out of nowhere. They broke into the imperial capital, burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. Many people died."

The person who spoke was the patrolling guard. As he spoke, cold sweat continued to flow all over his body, and his hands and feet were shaking uncontrollably.

The matter was a bit big and he was afraid.

"What?" Emperor Zhaoning stood up from the Jinluan throne in shock.

This kind of thing has never happened since the founding of Western Chu.

It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other.

All the ministers were also panicked. They all had tense faces and whispered to the people around them.

"This happened all of a sudden, what should I do?"

"Why did the people from Mobei suddenly come to our capital of Western Chu? There was no news at all before."

"Moreover, the imperial capital is weakly guarded. These people are coming in a menacing manner. There are thousands of them. I'm afraid there will be a big mess!"

Why didn't Emperor Zhaoning understand this? He quickly dispatched city patrol guards and forest guards to deal with it without delay.

He also asked people to hurry up and dispatch troops to the city closest to the capital to guard the imperial capital.

But, I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch up!

"Your Majesty, I suggest that everyone should not stay in the palace waiting for rescue, but go out to avoid the limelight." Gu Ciyue thought of everything that Emperor Zhaoning thought of, so he made this suggestion.

The most important thing now is to preserve the foundation of the entire Western Chu, that is, to preserve the royal family and the lives of important ministers.

Let’s talk about the others.

"Master Gu, do you mean to hand over the palace to those barbaric Mobei people?"

"We don't want it anymore?"

Some people did not support Gu Ciyue's proposal and showed dissatisfaction.

After all, this palace was the hard work of emperors of all ages. How could it be abandoned unless it was absolutely necessary?

Most of the courtiers were unwilling.

Emperor Zhaoning didn't speak, and his face looked very sad. It was hard to tell whether he was willing or unwilling.

Gu Ciyue was very serious: "Don't you understand, ministers? Now is the moment of last resort."

"We had no choice."

"Otherwise, everyone will die."

"..."

The truth always sounds a bit ugly, but it’s reality.

After listening, all the courtiers lowered their heads, sighed and said nothing.

Gu Ciyue looked at Emperor Zhaoning at the top and said, "Your Majesty, it is fundamentally important to protect our Western Chu, so just withdraw?"

"..." Emperor Zhaoning thought about it painfully, closed his eyes, reluctantly held the dragon robe embroidered with a golden dragon, and said hoarsely: "Just listen to Master Gu."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came to report, "Great joy, great joy..."

"What's the big news? I'm busy right now. It's okay if you don't listen." Gu Ciyue said: "The most important thing is to evacuate the palace."

After hearing this, the patrolling guard hurriedly said: "There is no need to withdraw."

"Why is this?" Everyone looked at the patrolling guards and asked in unison.

The patrolling guard suddenly felt uncomfortable being looked at by so many big shots. He coughed twice and stuttered, "Yes, it's the princess and the eldest prince who are far away on the Mobei border. They, they sent people to rescue them." ”

"There are many people coming, enough to resist the Mobei people."

"The palace is safe now."

"Really?" Emperor Zhaoning was very happy. He changed from his previous low mood and paced back and forth excitedly. He even clapped his hands and murmured: "Jiujiu and the boss must have noticed that the emperor was in trouble, so they became anxious. Rescue has been sent urgently.”

"Okay, okay, okay, Xi Chu will be fine." These two people, saving Xi Chu is based on fire and water!

"When they come back, they will be rewarded heavily."

The minister wiped the cold sweat with lingering fear and said: "The emperor is right. When the princess and the others come back, they must be rewarded heavily."

No amount of reward is too high for saving the imperial capital and them from water and fire.

"only--"

Emperor Zhaoning just breathed a sigh of relief and became anxious again, because he thought of Concubine Jia and the Thirteenth Prince again.

Today, Concubine Jia and the Thirteenth Prince and his wife went to see Li Shenfeng. The location of the Li Mansion is not good, and Concubine Jia and the others are sensitive about their status. I am afraid...

Hope nothing happens to them.

"Quickly, send someone to the Li Mansion quickly. Don't let anything happen to Concubine Jia and the Thirteenth Prince and his wife." Emperor Zhaoning warned.

.

It was already two days later when Dong Buhan learned that nothing had happened to Emperor Xi Chu.

He was so angry that he punched the tree trunk in front of him with too much force. The tree shook several times and many dead leaves fell. The entire back of his hand was also bloody and bloody, and he couldn't bear to look directly at it.

But he seemed to be used to pain. There was no trace of pain on his face, only anger, anger at the failure of his plan.

"What happened? How did Xi Chu escape?" Dong Buhan gritted his teeth and asked the person who came to report the news.

"It was only an hour after the soldiers of Mobei attacked the capital of Western Chu, and suddenly reinforcements arrived."

"The reinforcements arrived in time. The soldiers in Mobei had no chance to attack the palace and suffered heavy losses."

The veins on Dong Buhan's forehead popped out when he heard, "...Where are the reinforcements coming from?" Even if the Imperial City of Western Chu wanted to mobilize people, there was no one to do so.

"The person leading the army is Yang Bo, the eldest prince's deputy general. He should be sent there by the eldest prince and the others."

"The eldest prince?"

"Feng Jiujiu."

Dong Buhan quickly thought that when he and Jiujiu met, Jiujiu gleaned something from his voice and asked the eldest prince to send troops back in time.

But when he met Feng Jiujiu, he was obviously very careful. He didn't say a word that he shouldn't have said. Why did Feng Jiujiu still notice that something was wrong?

This Feng Jiujiu made him feel a little scary.

The thoughts are really delicate.

Also smart enough.

It's a very strong opponent.

Dong Buhan no longer dares to underestimate Jiujiu.

"One more thing, Your Highness, Mobei...Mobei seems to have lost." Another boy reported back.
