Before exile, the imperial concubine emptied the palace

Chapter 210 Retreat!

Zuo Xiang saw that more and more people were dying, so he had no choice but to order: "All obey orders and retreat!"

All of a sudden, all the iron cavalry threw away the thick wood in their hands and followed Xiang Zuo.

On the city wall, the Cheetah Army looked at the Cavalry Army fleeing in the desert, waved their weapons happily, and shouted loudly: "Mighty! Mighty!"

Zhanhu happily congratulated Liang Jingyao: "Congratulations, master, you have won the first battle!"

Liang Jingyao temporarily let go of his tense heart, but Prime Minister Zuo failed to attack the city for the first time, so he definitely won't let it go, he might go back and make some shameful tricks behind his back!
"Don't be too happy, take someone to check how many wells there are in the city, and be careful that someone poisons them in the wells. Also, have you delivered the news I asked you to send to the north?"

Zhanhu nodded and replied, "Yes! I've ordered someone to deliver that. Now that we've secured all the entrances to Yangmingshan, Emperor Liang's people won't be able to stop us from delivering the letter!"

Liang Jingyao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well done!"

At this time, Chen Hu walked up to the tower with the roster that had been recorded. He bowed respectfully to Liang Jingyao and said, "Master, all the recruits recruited are recorded in the roster. There are two hundred and six people from several villages." , I plan to get someone to verify it tomorrow! There are still 35 beggars whose identities cannot be verified, and I have already separated them, but I don’t know what to do next, and I hope the master will clarify!”

Liang Jingyao took the roster handed over by Chen Hu, looked through it roughly under the light of the lanterns hanging high on the city tower, and asked, "Have you added the ones I brought?"

At this time, Princess Mingzhu had finished washing and dressing up, and came over neatly. When she saw Liang Jingyao coming back, the stone hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground. She happily took Liang Jingyao's hand and said, "It's good to come back safely! I see you are thinner." Quite a few, why don't you go to sleep for a while?"

Princess Mingzhu patted the back of Liang Jingyao's hand with some distress, and said, "You child is really distressing! Last night, I put some herbs to calm the nerves and help sleep in the medicine for the mother, so the mother did not wake up all night. Now Still sleeping soundly! Alas, this time thanks to you for rescuing the empress from the palace, with Imperial Physician Hua here, there is hope for the empress' old illness!"

"I'm so tired, why are you still standing? Sit down and rest for a while! I'm steaming the crystal dumplings made by Yunyun yesterday, and you can taste it later!"

Liang Jingyao knew that the Hua imperial doctor that Princess Mingzhu said was the old monster wine. The old wine monster had worked in the palace for so many years, and the queen mother and the eldest princess were used to calling him, so Liang Jingyao didn't intend to let them change their name to the imperial doctor Hua.

Liang Jingyao smiled and praised: "Yeah, our Yue'er is smart, and reminded me early in the morning! Tell me what strategy the left minister will adopt next?"

Liang Jingyao shook his head and said, "No, I'll wait for the queen mother to wake up and say hello to her, and then I'll go back. Prime Minister Zuo failed to attack the city last night. I guess he has to come today, so I have to go back as soon as possible. .”

Lin Xiaoyue poured Liang Jingyao a cup of ginseng tea, which was originally prepared for the eldest princess. Now Lin Xiaoyue saw Liang Jingyao's lack of energy, so she poured Liang Jingyao first.

"I'm back! What delicious food are you doing?" Liang Jingyao leaned on the door frame of the kitchen a little tiredly, looking at the busy Lin Xiaoyue with a smile on his face.

Chen Hu asked curiously, "Who is it?"

"Not yet, you can eat first! I think you must have not slept all night, did Prime Minister Zuo really bring people to attack the city last night?" Lin Xiaoyue asked curiously.

Lin Xiaoyue thought about it in her heart, and said, "What else can he do besides attacking the city gate? Could it be that he went to grab Yangmingshan instead? Although Yangmingshan is important, Yangming Town is even more important. Because it is close to the capital, So many people are willing to move here. Yangming Town now has a population of about [-]! Anyway, I think Zuo Xiang will continue to attack the city gate, and then recruit the young and middle-aged people in the city to join the army, strengthen the cavalry army, and then continue to attack Yangming Mingshan, if I can't beat you to death, I'll beat you all the way to the north and put you under house arrest."

Liang Jingyao stood on the tower until dawn before he left to visit Lin Xiaoyue in the valley.

Lin Xiaoyue turned her head to look at the door, only to see Liang Jingyao's obsidian-like eyes with blue dark circles under her eyes, and hurriedly took out a chair and beckoned him to sit down.

Liang Jingyao shook his head and said, "Your analysis is correct! There is also a hidden danger of Jianghu Ling. I think Emperor Liang will continue to spend money to let Jianghu Ling assist the left minister!"

Liang Jingyao frowned and said: "Emperor Liang gave Jianghu Ling 1 taels of gold, the purpose should be to kill me! At that time, Jianghu Ling's people sneaked into the beggar's nest, and they were discovered by Yue'er and A Mian! So now no matter male, female, old or young , if you can’t confirm your identity, close it for a while! If there are people from Jianghu Ling, they will definitely take action to complete the task!”

Liang Jingyao returned the roster to Chen Hu and explained, "Do you know who I met in the ruined temple?"

Chen Hu finally understood, nodded and said: "Yes! I will send more people to watch those rooms now!"

These words reminded Lin Xiaoyue, she asked very puzzled: "Brother Liang, why did you spend money to hire Jiang Hu Ling to save the eldest princess and the others, but Jiang Hu Ling was unwilling? Convince them? They won't have any other relationship, will they?"

Chen Hu shook his head and said, "No, do we need to add them? There are also old people, children and women here, so they are not suitable for joining the army!"

Liang Jingyao nodded and said, "Okay! Are the queen mother and princess up yet?"

Liang Jingyao's face changed suddenly, and he said angrily: "Hmph! At that time, I paid 10 taels of gold and didn't even talk about Jianghu Ling! If Jianghu Ling does things for Emperor Liang again, I will give Jianghu Ling's lair!"

"It's okay, this is what I should do! I grew up in the palace and was deeply loved and taught by the late emperor, so I can't just sit idly by! It's just that the valley is poor, and there are no maids to serve you. The empress dowager and several adults have been wronged to stay here for a while." Liang Jingyao said apologetically.

Princess Mingzhu said with a smile: "What can I say if you are wronged or not? It's good to save your life! Besides, Yue'er and her sisters are so careful. The queen mother and I are very satisfied, so don't worry!"

Liang Jingyao nodded and said, "That's good! Yesterday I found Jiang Hu Ling in the city. They were sent by Emperor Liang to deal with us. Now I am still searching for spies. After I find out, I will find them again." Some maidservants are here to serve the Queen Mother and several adults, and the city is not safe for the time being!"

Princess Mingzhu gave Liang Jingyao a funny look, and said helplessly: "It's okay to tell you, so don't worry about it! We know what's going on outside! Go do it boldly!"
