Chapter 506 Mrs. Xiao is missing
"Xiao Jing."

King Huai almost shouted the name through gritted teeth.

The fifth floating life was frozen in place as if without a god.

If Xiao Jing took action, then all the doubts in his heart would make sense.

In the study room, it suddenly became quiet, and you could hear a needle drop.

After a long while, Prince Huai sat down on the chair behind him and said in despair: "It's over, everything is over."

Xiao Jing was in charge, and there was an ambush from Chen Jun in the city.

The arrest of Gan Yao and Xiao Yue is equivalent to being cut off. This is completely a close-door attack.

One bad thing is that the entire army will be wiped out.

The troops and horses attacking Yi County this time were all the property of King Huai.

Gan Yao and Xiao Yue were captured.

There are two high-grade warriors in Yi County.

Just when King Huai was about to order the entire army to march overnight to Yixian County.

With that said, as if to cheer himself up, King Huai asked the scout again if he had seen anything happen to Chu Ce.

"Although Xiao Jing is in charge of Yi County, if my subordinates remember correctly, Xiao Jing was injured when he was young and never recovered, and suffered from hidden diseases. Although General Chu Ce was surrounded, he was young and strong. The so-called boxing is afraid of young people. It may not be possible to break out of the encirclement with a large army."

Wu Fusheng's eyelids jumped sharply. Although he knew that the situation was over, looking at King Huai's appearance at the moment, he still calmed down and said:

Seeing that King Huai cheered up, Fifth Fusheng raised his hand and said, "My lord, the top priority is to mobilize any troops and horses that can be mobilized to go to Yi County to meet General Chu Ce."

King Huai seemed to be inspired by the optimistic situation described in the fifth Fu Sheng's sentence. He regained his energy and nodded: "What Fu Sheng said is that as long as Chu Ce is still alive, there is still hope of turning defeat into victory."

For a moment, King Huai felt that his whole soul was gone, his whole body was cold, and he could not hear the sounds around him.

King Huai became more confident. Since the city gate of Yixian was breached, as long as Chu Ce defeated Xiao Jing, even if the villain could not win Yixian for victory, it would not be difficult to break out.

King Huai learned a huge piece of bad news from the mouths of these deserters, which made him feel as if he had been struck by thunder and seemed to be frozen in place, motionless.

Chu Ce was killed.

Of course, there were also some that Chen Jun let go on purpose.

Chen Jun also knew that after this defeat, King Huai was already a grasshopper in the autumn. If the news of the defeat spread, Chen Jun might not even have to do anything himself, and his army would collapse on its own.

The army that attacked Yixian was almost completely wiped out.

King Huai said: "What Fu Sheng said is true. I, the king, will personally lead the army to meet Chu Ce."

King Huai currently has only about three thousand soldiers left.

Because the city gate was breached, the situation would become complicated after the battle. Among the more than 20,000 Huai troops, there would always be some who slipped through the net and escaped from the city.

The scout said he only saw Chu Ce being surrounded.

When the sky darkened, King Huai left Fengzhou with his military camp and entered the land of Huaizhou, which was less than fifty miles away from Yi County.

The soldiers at the front met the soldiers of Huai Army who had escaped from Yi County.

Despair, anger, fear, regret and other emotions all came to his mind, and they were entangled in one place, making him feel that there was nothing in the world. His whole person fell into a fear that he was the only one in the world. His lips moved for a long time, and he couldn't say a word. Can't tell.

Suddenly, a surge of energy and blood surged up, making Prince Huai feel a sweetness in his throat.

Noticing that Prince Huai's expression was changing, Wu Fusheng's face was full of worry, and he quickly stepped forward and raised his hand to check on Prince Huai's condition. The next second, exclamations suddenly sounded from all around: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty"

However, the standing King Huai suddenly shook his body, and then his vision went dark, the world was spinning, and he fell to the side.

Perhaps because his endurance had become stronger, King Huai only fainted this time and did not vomit blood.

Suddenly, there was chaos in the study, and the voice of the palace steward, Fifth Fusheng, rushed towards Prince Huai.

"Doctor, call doctor quickly"

When King Huai woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

The guard camp protected him and returned to Shan County.

At this time, the news of the Huai army's defeat in Yi County had spread among the army and Shan County, and people were panicked for a while.

Fortunately, the loyalty of the personal barracks was higher than that of ordinary soldiers, otherwise they would have fled by this time.

If the King of Huai who lost Huaizhou is compared to a big ship that ran aground.

The first raid on Yixian was defeated, and the Li family's betrayal caused the ship to become dilapidated. Once it entered the sea, it could not travel very far.

But this time the Huai army was defeated and Chu Ce died in battle, causing the big ship to collapse and sink immediately after entering the water.

At that time, Prince Huai's eyes suddenly opened and he woke up with a start.

The lights on the lamps in the room were flickering, and a pot of charcoal fire was placed not far under the bed. The room was warm. Prince Huai stared at the charcoal fire, his eyes dazed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

At this time, the housekeeper came in and saw that King Huai had woken up. His face was filled with joy. He quickly approached and called softly: "Your Majesty."

Although it was cold winter, King Huai was covered in sweat at the moment. He didn't respond to the steward's call for a moment, and a look of panic flashed in his eyes.

King Huai was awakened by a nightmare.

After the housekeeper called again, Prince Huai couldn't help but call out "Chu Ce".

Then, like a reptile, he stretched his limbs on the bed and said a little crazy: "Chu Ce, where is General Chu Ce?"

When the housekeeper saw King Huai like this, his expression changed and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, General Chu Ce was ambushed by Chen Jun two days ago and died in Yi County."

After hearing this, King Huai immediately collapsed on the bed in despair, as if waking up from a dream. Of course, his subconscious knew that Chu Ce had died in the battle, but he was just subconsciously deceiving himself. Chu Ce's death in battle was just something that appeared in a nightmare. , he wanted to escape, but the butler's words brought him back to reality.

Prince Huai was silent for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice: "How long have I been unconscious?"

"It's been nine hours," the steward said.

King Huai was silent again. After a while, he said, "Where are the ladies?"

Maybe it was because too many people around him had left, and King Huai missed his family again at this time.

Hearing this, the butler's expression changed slightly and he became hesitant.

Prince Huai noticed the change in the butler's expression and hurriedly asked: "What? What's wrong?"

"Back to your lord, the first lady and the third lady are at the house, but the second lady is missing."

For the servants of the palace, after Xiao Yunxi and Prince Huai reconciled, the position of princess became vacant, so Mrs. Hui was the first lady, the second lady was Mrs. Xiao, and the third lady was Mrs. Gan.

"Well, what do you mean missing?"

"After your lord fainted last night, Mr. Fusheng led his troops back to Shan County. I wanted to tell the three ladies to take care of you, but the second lady was not at the house. I thought the second lady had gone out and was not there." When it happened, I sent someone to look for her, but until now, there is no news about the second lady." The steward said.
