Chapter 349 Princess Yiguang's Response

squeak.

The heavy main gate of the Duke's Mansion was suddenly opened by a few servants.

Huo Qing helped Princess Yiguang and walked out, followed by a row of women and children in white silk.

Being in a high position and not showing up for a long time, few of the crowded people outside recognized the portrait of Princess Yiguang.

But at this moment, when they saw the colorful phoenix robe on the opponent's body and the majestic crested staff in his hand, everyone reacted quickly.

Crash.

I don't know who was the first to take the lead, and the densely packed people outside the gate all bowed down.

"Cao Min pays homage to His Royal Highness Princess Yiguang."

Princess Yiguang looked peaceful, as if she didn't see the whole row of soul-calling banners outside the gate.

Her eyes slowly flicked over the people in the alley, and it took her a long time to speak.

"Everyone get up."

"His Royal Highness, Princess Xie."

"Brother Qing!"

Huo Qing hurriedly stepped forward: "Grandmother, grandson is here."

Princess Yiguang raised her hand, "The alley is too narrow, it's inconvenient for neighbors and common people to come and go. Put away these soul-calling banners."

hum~
Not only Huo Qing, but even the more and more common people outside were taken aback.

"Grandmother?" Huo Qing hesitated.

Whether it's the tradition of Xingji City or Xingluo's hometown, it's not time to draw the soul-calling flag yet.

"Put it away." Princess Yiguang ignored her grandson's doubts.

She raised her eyes and looked towards the western sky over the high wall of Uncle Zhongyong's mansion opposite.

"My Huo family has been entrusted by His Majesty Taizu to guard the Yanfeng Fortress for more than six hundred years."

"The so-called fulfilling one's responsibilities in one's position. Now that we have enjoyed the honorable status and treatment of the Duke's Mansion, my Huo family must devote myself to the end of my life, and do my best to defend the western border of the empire."

"Now that the Xiliang family has invaded, the pressure on Xijiang has doubled. But these are not the reasons for our Zhenguo government to shrink back, nor are they an excuse to appeal to His Majesty for help."

"The stronger the enemy is, the more we must stand up straight. Even if we fight to the last man, we will not hesitate to shed the last drop of blood."

Ha ha.

Speaking of this, Princess Yiguang suddenly smiled frankly.

"Fathers and folks suddenly gathered at the gate of our Duke's Mansion, probably because they read the latest newspaper."

"That newspaper is doing very well. Although Bengong is old and dim-sighted, he has read every issue carefully. It just so happens that he just read that article."

"Clan extermination!" Princess Yiguang pondered for a long while, "Everyone thinks it's scary, right?"

She shook her head lightly, "Actually, I don't think so."

"The main line of our Duke Zhen's mansion has always been thin. If the main line is finished, we will have collateral. After the side line is finished, we will still have males and females from Xingluo's hometown, as well as males from all relatives and kinsmen. "

"Either their surname is Huo, or half of their blood is surnamed Huo. They have accepted the shelter of the Duke's Mansion since birth, and when necessary, they will stand up and make their own contributions to the empire, and together protect the safety of this country."

"Therefore, parents and folks, please rest assured."

"There are not as few males in my Zhen Guogong's mansion as the newspapers said. Xiliang people think that killing a few more Huo family's leading generals can invade my great river and mountain in Yunchui?"

"That's wishful thinking!"

After speaking, Princess Yiguang seemed tired.She ignored the buzzing discussions outside the gate, and was supported by the female officer and daughters-in-law and turned to leave.

"Everyone give way, everyone make way." Huo Qing apologized to everyone, pulled off the soul-calling banners outside the gate one by one, and carried them back carefully.

Not long after,

squeak.

The heavy front gate was closed again, isolating the hustle and bustle of the alley outside the gate.

Everything that happened in front of the main gate of Zhen Guogong's mansion quickly spread throughout Xingji City, and people everywhere were discussing it.

"The main line is gone, and no matter how many collaterals, in-laws, and outsiders are left, is the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion still the original Zhen Guo Gong Mansion?"

"Forget it."

"Don't worry. Huo Qing and Huo Shizi will stay in Xingji City and don't need to go to the battlefield? The main line of Zhen Guogong's mansion can't be broken."

"You know what. The heir who stays in the imperial capital doesn't have to go to the battlefield. It's the proton in His Majesty's hands, do you understand?"

"If the Huo family in Yanzhen Fortress are all wiped out, the role of the sons in Xingji City will no longer be necessary. His Majesty will definitely send Huo Shizi to lead the army. I'm afraid there will be no one left."

Ugh!
There were sighs everywhere.

"The government of Zhen Guo must be guarded. If the people of Xiliang cross the Luoxia Mountains, the consequences will be disastrous."

The newspapers spread more and more widely, and many people have read the articles written by Master Hongguang himself.Finally, I have some understanding of the tragic situation in the war-torn area.Everyone couldn't help worrying.

"Keep a sycophant."

boom!
A reckless man suddenly slapped the table in front of him hard.

"The people of Xiliang are invading eastward. The current number is far greater than the two legions of Yanzhen Fortress, Dingxi Guards and Yanhui Yingling combined. If Your Majesty does not increase troops to support them, they will be considered as frontline soldiers. Everyone regards death as home and bravely kills the enemy, that is absolutely unstoppable..."

Miyagi, Imperial Study Room.

The commander of Jin Linwei hurried in with a newspaper.

"Chen Du Ziming sees His Majesty."

"Du Aiqing is here?" Emperor Changxing didn't have a headache today, so he was in good spirits.

However, when he saw Du Ziming, his face sank again, "But what happened outside the palace?"

"Your Majesty, recently a newspaper named "Yunchui Half-Monthly" has suddenly become popular in the entire empire from east to west, from south to north."

"According to Weichen's private investigation. Every time the newspaper is published, almost half of the common people and high-ranking officials in Xingji City are discussing the contents of the newspaper after dinner and tea."

"Weichen felt that this matter was not trivial, so he brought a copy into the palace."

"Are there so many people watching?" Emperor Changxing was a little more curious, "What is it, quickly present it to me to have a look!"

Chang Lu went over to take the thick newspaper.

Emperor Changxing lost interest when he saw it, "It's so thick! Could it be the biography of gods and ghosts like Liao Zhai written in it?"

cough!
Du Ziming coughed.

"Your Majesty, the popular legends of gods and ghosts are only a small part of the content of the newspaper. There are also some major events that have happened in Yunchui and surrounding countries recently. These are what I am most worried about..."

"Ridiculous!" Emperor Changxing interrupted Du Ziming abruptly, and put the newspaper aside.

Think of him as a majestic emperor, sitting on the entire Yunchui, with post roads extending in all directions.However, if you want to know something thousands of miles away, you have to wait ten days and a half months.

How could a mere newspaper that popped up out of nowhere know what was happening in Yunchui and even the surrounding countries.

Wouldn't that be much faster than expediting at eight hundred miles?

cough!
Du Ziming couldn't help coughing again.

"Your Majesty, for example, the headlines on the front page of this newspaper, I suggest you take a look at it."

"Its title is: The western frontier is in a hurry, and the Zhenguo government is almost wiped out!"

"What?" Emperor Changxing's hand that grabbed the vermilion pen froze in mid-air.

He dubiously took the newspaper again, but when he saw the weight, his head hurt again.

"Your Majesty," Chang Lu quickly took the newspaper, "The body of the dragon is important, please close your eyes and rest your mind, this old slave will read to you."
