After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

When Lu Linfeng learned that everyone was rushing to Yunding City to seize the Nine Cauldrons and the Jade Seal, he also fell into panic.

Pulling the reins of his horse, he ordered the army to stop marching, climbed up the hill next to him, looked towards the direction of Yunding City, and then thought about the beautiful figure he had been thinking about day and night. It was really difficult to make a decision in his heart.

"Brother, why did you stop the march?"

Lu Linxue followed and urged them urgently, "We can't delay any longer. The princess and the crown prince are still in Liyang City. The crown prince has gone to Dali to quell the rebellion. The spies ahead reported that the eldest prince of Tuoyue has gathered tens of thousands of remnant soldiers, claiming to have a force of 100,000, not to mention the Tuoyue Cloud Guard Corps' help. If we don't get back as soon as possible, Liyang City will be lost."

Lu Linfeng was still thinking to himself.

Lu Linxue became more and more anxious: "Brother, didn't you always say that you admired the Crown Prince's Consort? Now she is alone and waiting for help, how could you become so cold and indifferent?"

"Linxue, Liyang City will be fine."

Lu Linfeng consoled himself, "The prince has already led his army back to help, and the fourth brother's Liren Gang is also on the way back. What we need to do now is to take back the Nine Cauldrons and the Jade Seal, so that when the Lu family clears the world, our eldest branch will have a place."

That person treated me hot and cold all the time. Sometimes she tried to match me up with Cui Ying, and sometimes she wanted me to marry the soldier's daughter. It was obvious that she never took me seriously.

The only way for him to win her heart now is to conquer the world.

Lu Linxue was very upset after hearing this: "It is the prince's job to take back the Jade Seal and the Nine Cauldrons. If he knew that Prince Jiurong was heading south, he would definitely lead his army there. How could my brother be so presumptuous? The prince's military order is for my brother and me to rush to the aid of Liyang City."

"Linxue, do you know that Lu Qian was killed by the Crown Prince's Consort? Although my father did not dare to go and argue, he was quite angry when he came to the news."

Lu Linfeng said, "The Lu family was originally run by our eldest branch. I have endured this for so many years. Do you still want me to be bullied by the second branch in the future?"

"Lu Qian brought this upon himself."

Lu Linxue said righteously, "In order to stabilize the situation in Liyang City, the Crown Prince's Consort and the Princess spent all their wealth to buy grain, but he colluded with the Liu family to defraud disaster relief grain, which almost caused chaos in Liyang City. The Princess and the Crown Prince's Consort did not vent their anger on the First House, which is a great kindness. How could my brother become so unreasonable?"

Not wanting to argue with him any more, Lu Linxue pleaded with a firm gaze, "Brother, please follow the military order and rush to Liyang City to help."

"When a general is away from home, he is not subject to the orders of the king. The prince has always been concerned about the love between his children. If he and the fourth brother only care about the safety of Liyang City and let the Nine Cauldrons and Jade Seals fall into the hands of King Jiurong, do you still want the Lu family to be inferior to others?"

Lu Linfeng's eyes turned stern: "Since you are worried about disobeying military orders, then lead your 20,000 infantrymen to rush back immediately to help."

After saying this, he rushed down the mountain and led 30,000 cavalrymen towards Yunding City.

......

The situation in Liyang City was already precarious. From the front, Prince Tuoyue's 70,000 cavalry and infantry corps were attacking the city gate fiercely, and in the west camp, the 30,000 Tuoyue Yunwei Corps was approaching the water camp.

Fortunately, the military and civilians of Liyang City were united. All the able-bodied men in the families were organized to accompany Fu Guiyun and Lu Linzhi to defend the city, using their flesh and blood to block the enemy's attacks.

There were piles of corpses below the city wall and a river of blood beside the west camp. Fu Guiyun, who had been holding the city for half a month, looked into the distance and found that the enemy had stopped attacking. He immediately ordered the soldiers and civilians on the city to take the opportunity to catch their breath.

Caidie supported her, who was already exhausted, and walked on the city wall. She began to check on the wounded and comfort the people.

"Logically speaking, the reinforcements from the Crown Prince and the Eldest Young Master should be rushing back to the city."

Caidie whispered to her, "Why haven't we seen any reinforcements yet?"

Fu Guiyun just looked into the distance silently without answering.

King Tuoyue is dead, and the Yunwei Corps has not returned to support. Prince Tuoyue would rather abandon the capital to capture Liyang City, which shows his determination to advance into the Central Plains.

Lu Linchu and Prince Tuoyue are both men. They have roughly the same mindset and will naturally choose power over family members without hesitation.

If the Lu family wants to conquer the world, the Nine Cauldrons and the Jade Seal can indeed be the icing on the cake. As Lu Linchu is the prince of a royal palace, it is understandable that he goes to take back these two sacred objects.

She had already guessed that the prince would change his route and march towards Yunding City.

Living in troubled times is a gamble. Since I chose to let him leave the city, I naturally hope that he can accomplish this.

As for Lu Linfeng, Fu Guiyun pondered for a moment and wondered why his reinforcements had not arrived in Liyang City yet.

Thinking about the West Village, she immediately asked Huang Sheng: "How is the situation over there, Lu Changshi?"

"The Fourth Young Master took the lead and led the Liren Gang to defend the West Village. Although the Cloud Guard Corps was brave, they did not gain any advantage and have temporarily withdrawn from the West Village."

At this point, Huang Sheng suddenly frowned, "The casualties of those defending the West Village are quite serious. I heard that the Fourth Young Master was wounded by an arrow before returning. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for much longer. Once the Cloud Guards launch another attack, the West Village will surely fall."

Hearing this, many strong men sitting by the wall immediately stood up and shouted, "Then let's go help the Fourth Young Master."

Huang Sheng was stunned: "Going over there..." It would be like blocking the West Village with his life.

Although he didn't say the last few words, everyone knew it and gestured, "Right now, there is war everywhere. The whole Dakang territory is littered with corpses. Even the people of Yundu City are secretly crossing the river to the south. However, the Crown Prince's Consort is able to protect Liyang City from the war and let everyone have enough food to eat. It's worth it for us to die."

Everyone knew clearly that these royal nobles could have escaped from Liyang City to seek refuge, but the Crown Prince's wife resolutely chose to stay in the city to protect the safety of the entire city. How many city lords could be found in the entire Dakang who were so generous and kind?

If they continue to be afraid of death, once the Tuoyue army attacks the city, their wives, children and the elderly will all be dead.

Someone has to carry the burden forward in this world, and we can’t all rely on the Fourth Young Master and the Li Ren Gang.

"Please do not give up on us, Princess, and continue to protect the people of the city."

Everyone knelt down and kowtowed, then rushed down the city without hesitation and headed straight for the west camp.

With someone taking the lead, the strong men who had escaped from the West Village and returned to the city to hang out in the past few days stood up and followed them back to the West Village to defend it.

Seeing the crowd heading towards Xizhai suddenly become so large, Fu Guiyun couldn't help but burst into tears.

She knew that if these men went to the West Village, the chances of survival would be slimmer than if they held on to the city walls.

She quickly wiped away her tears with her bloodstained sleeves, knelt down and said in return: "Farewell to the warriors of Jiangzuo, I will never let you down."

Caidie had already cried so hard that she could not speak. She knelt with everyone to send off batches of warriors to the West Village. Then she and Fuxiang helped Fu Guiyun up.

Others may not know about the Crown Prince's Consort, but she knows it very well. Even though she is not favored in the Fu family, she is still the eldest daughter of the legitimate family. She has been living a life of luxury since childhood and has learned poetry, books and etiquette. Normally, she cannot even lift a sword, so how could she have suffered such hardship?

"Princess, you haven't been back to see the young master and Miss Yu for a while. Why don't you go back and rest first?"

Seeing her clean and fair face that had lost all its original color, Caidie felt distressed and choked up as she begged, "Let me continue to defend the city for you."

This girl still hasn't made any progress. Fu Guiyun slowly raised his numb arm and patted her shoulder gently, unable to bear the pressure to blame her.

Everyone is risking their lives to defend the city, how can she leave at this time?

The enemy attacked fiercely for several days in a row, but suddenly there was no movement. She guessed that Prince Tuoyue was planning a more brutal attack.
