Quick Wear: She Whose Negative System Is Broken

After Yu Tang wiped off the black powder on his face, he turned around and said to Cheng Chang solemnly, "You should have grown up a lot after being away from Beijing for a few months. Can you promise me that you will take good care of An He?"

"Even if I don't want my life, I will definitely protect the young master."

"Be careful." Yu Tang patted his shoulder.

After Cheng Chang left, Yu Tang changed into dark linen clothes, went around to the backyard where sundries were stored, found a bamboo basket, put it on his back, and quietly went out through the small door.

On the way to the city gate, Yu Tang bought some salt, oil, rice, sugar, cotton cloth and other things on the roadside and put them in the bamboo basket behind him.

The inspection at the city gate is very strict, and everyone is questioned for a long time before being allowed to pass.

Yu Tang was already certain that something must have happened in the palace, perhaps the matter of the military token had been leaked.

But if the prince found out about this, he would simply close the city gates and not allow anyone to enter or leave.

Judging from the current situation, the third prince's faction is more likely.

In order not to alert the enemy, they could only secretly strengthen inspections at the city gates.

Yu Tang plucked up his courage and walked over quickly with his head down.

"What?"

She shrank her neck and looked at the soldier cautiously, nodding and bowing, and replied in the official language she was not very fluent in.

"Sir, we have run out of oil and rice at home. Let's go to the city to buy some."

"Where do you live?"

When Yu Tang returned to Beijing before, he passed by several villages in the suburbs of Beijing. He still remembered them and blurted them out.

"Diequan Village, Zhang Damazi's family."

The village is quite far from the capital. The name Zhang Damazi at the end was made up by her. Most of the names in the village are of this form.

The soldier asked very detailed questions. Yu Tang tried hard to look less nervous, and his hands, which were pinching the hem of his clothes, turned white with effort.

"Okay, go ahead."

Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from far away behind her, and the surrounding soldiers immediately surrounded her.

"who?"

The soldier in front of him quickly waved his hand to let Yu Tang pass, and then he stepped forward to stop the man on horseback.

Yu Tang wanted to fly immediately, but he had to suppress his nervousness and walk at the same pace as before.

When she walked out of the city gate and turned the corner, she turned her head slightly to glance at the person riding a horse behind her.

It seemed like it was General Fan whom she had met once before? She would not make a mistake in remembering such a handsome man.

But why would General Fan want to leave the city at this time?

She thought about all sorts of things in her mind for a while, then quickly shook her head and concentrated on walking. After passing the inner city gate, the remaining outer city gates were not so strict.

After walking for a long time, he found the guard dressed as a servant in the woods, took the reins from him, led the horse, and took some silver from his pocket and stuffed it into the guard's hand.

"Find a place to live nearby, leave a mark, and I'll come find you."

"Yes."

Yu Tang jumped on his horse and looked into the eyes of the guard. "Which direction is southwest?"

The guard pointed in the direction silently. Yu Tang rode southwest for a distance, then turned his horse around and headed southeast.

It's not that she didn't trust the guard, but at a time like this, it was always better to be cautious.

Logically speaking, the closest camp to the capital is the Western Suburbs Camp.

But since someone was already blocking her at the city gate, they must have thought of sending people to ambush her on the roads that several camps near the capital had to pass through. She couldn't go to any camp at this time.

Therefore, Yu Tang's destination was Wuzhou.

Ji Qiyu has the most business in Wuzhou, so there is no problem for him to be the prefect.

There are about two thousand troops stationed in Wuzhou. She will take these two thousand troops to the western suburbs camp. With these troops protecting her on the way, she doesn't have to worry about her personal safety.

However, the road to Wuzhou was not necessarily safe. Yu Tang did not dare to take the official road and was not very familiar with the small roads.

Except for asking for directions and giving the horse a rest, she was basically on the road.

His horse riding skills were not good, and when he arrived in Wuzhou, he was almost shaken to pieces, and the inner thighs were rubbed bloody.

When they arrived in Wuzhou, Yu Tang took out Princess Hexi's jade token and asked to meet the prefect.

It had been two days since she left the capital, and no one knew what the situation was like in the capital now.

The prefect carefully checked the imperial edict and the military token. He had never seen the military token before, but the imperial edict was definitely in the handwriting of Emperor Yun, not to mention that it was stamped with the imperial seal.

The military talisman had delicate patterns and complex craftsmanship, and this craftsmanship could not be found anywhere else except in the palace.

Yu Tang's appearance at this moment was too tragic. His hair was a mess like a chicken coop, his face was covered with black and white streaks, and his clothes were stained with blood and dust, making them extremely dirty.

"My lord, please take a rest for a while. I will go and check the troops immediately."

The prefect left in a hurry. Yu Tang splashed cold water on her face to sober herself up, ate the snacks that the maid brought for her, and drank two large cups of tea in one go to quench her thirst.

When the prefect returned with his troops, Yu Tang was much better than before.

"Two thousand men marching is too conspicuous. If someone discovers it in advance, I'm afraid something will happen in the capital. Does Magistrate Lu know if there is any road that can be used for secret marches?"

"This?" Prefect Lu thought for a moment and took out the map.

He pointed to the mountain-like shape on the map and said, "After crossing these two mountains, we can directly reach the vicinity of the Western Suburbs Camp."

"But there are many wild animals in the mountains, the mountain roads are rugged, and the dense trees make it easy to get lost. The local woodcutters and hunters dare not go deep into the mountains."

"The situation is urgent, so I can't care about so many things. Please find a few experienced local hunters to lead the way for us. After the mission is completed, there will be a big reward."

The two thousand-man army was equipped with armor and weapons, and also prepared two days' worth of dry food.

Led by several hunters at the foot of the mountain, they entered the forest just as it was getting dark.

Every ten people held a torch. The road was originally wide, but gradually the trees in front became denser and denser, and the original four-row team became two rows.

The mountain road was difficult to walk on, and the howling of wolves could be heard one after another all around, which made people feel scared.

In the second half of the night, the team found an open place and gathered in small groups of 100 to rest.

After daybreak, there was no need to be so cautious. Yu Tang sent a small team and the hunters to explore the way forward and mark the way along the way.

The team of two thousand people walked and stopped many times, and many soldiers accidentally fell and were injured because they walked on some steep terrain.

However, the ferocious wild beasts as mentioned in the legend were not seen. Perhaps the large size of the team scared them instead.

After spending one day and two nights, Yu Tang finally got out of the mountain.

She is not a woman who exercises regularly, and the injury on her leg from riding a horse has not healed yet.

Now I am relying on my last breath to hold on, and my legs are shaking as I walk.

What a sin! Coming to ancient times, I have suffered more than in my previous two lives combined. It seems that I have to practice when I have time in the future.

When he arrived at the western suburbs camp, he met the commander, General Zhou. General Zhou was Emperor Yun's confidant and recognized the military order.

He immediately sent scouts to investigate the situation, then assembled the troops and hurried to the capital.

Halfway through the journey, the scouts who had been sent out earlier came back to report.

The gates of the capital city were closed, and on the city walls, there was a soldier guarding every two steps, and the defense was tight.

"It's easier to defend a city than to attack it. Speed ​​is of the essence in war. If we let them wait for reinforcements, I'm afraid there will be several times more casualties."

"What should we do? Does General Zhou have any good ideas?" Yu Tang knew nothing about marching troops or fighting wars. At a time like this, he could only place his hopes on the experienced General Zhou.

"The first is to attack the enemy, then the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the third is to attack the city."

General Zhou also had a worried look on his face and shook his head. "The walls are strong and the towers are high. If they don't open the door on their own initiative, we can only storm them."

Yu Tang thought thoughtfully, "I remember last year there was a deputy commander of the Palace Front Department named Chang who was impeached by the prince's party, but he was cleared of all charges and reinstated not long after."

"General, why don't you use his name to see if you can trick the city gates open?"

"Miss, what you mean is that the people guarding the city are the Third Prince's men?"

"It is very likely." Yu Tang nodded. "General, be prepared. If it doesn't work..."

Yu Tang didn't say anything else, and everyone understood.
