Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 583
"It seems that the invasion of Xirong this time is another trick of that Yunniang. Taking advantage of the chaos in our Great Zhou country, he fished in troubled waters to find an excuse to come in and invade! The king should immediately mobilize the army to wipe out Xirong, so how can he doubt himself? What about the eldest son?" Bao Si pondered.

"Boom!" All of a sudden, the entire Jianjia Palace shook violently, shaking Baosi and the maids to their knees. At this moment, the hurrying Mei Guiren and the ashen-faced Concubine Xin were already in a panic. Running over from Jianjia Palace.

"Mei Guiren, Concubine Xin, what's the matter? There's so much commotion outside?" Bao Si looked at the two with lingering fears and asked eagerly.

"Empress, something is wrong! The king sent someone to light a beacon on the beacon tower as a warning. Unexpectedly, there was no soldier from King Lu arriving all day and night. The Xirong soldiers have already begun to attack the city on a large scale for the sake of their speed. That muffled sound just now was Xirong’s Thunderbolt chariot firing stone rockets into the city!” Mei Guiren described vividly while clutching his heart.

"You bastard! Your Majesty really committed suicide. At the beginning, he listened to the slander of the treacherous minister Lu Kai, and used the method of lighting a beacon to deceive the princes to come to the alliance and relieve the military power. Unexpectedly, today, he has broken his promise to the world. The King of Lu is afraid If you are killed, you will definitely not want to enter Beijing easily, and a catastrophe has been created!" Bao Si was heartbroken for a moment, stomping her feet and beating her chest.

"Empress, will the capital fall? Once the Xirong people enter the city, they will definitely do all kinds of evil!" Mei Guiren stared at the angry Baosi in fear.

"Sister Mei, don't worry, even though the princes dare not lead troops to serve the king, I believe that Lord Jutu will definitely not stand idly by!" Concubine Xin comforted the worried Mei Guiren, and raised her lips resolutely.

"Well, Concubine Xin, you're right, Jutu will definitely not sit idly by, but whether he has time to enter the capital depends on how long the city of Haojing can last!" Bao Si clings to Concubine Xin's hands and nodded happily. .

"Empress, please don't worry, there are at least [-] King Shang's newly recruited Huben Army in the city of Haojing, and it will not be a problem to defend for a month!" Concubine Xin smiled optimistically.

"Masters, look!" At this moment, the palace maid Mingyue, who was so frightened that her flowers were trembling, ran over tremblingly, pointing to the bottom of the balcony with lingering fear.

Baosi hurriedly took Mrs. Mei and Concubine Xin to the highest point of Jianjia Palace and looked down at the city. She saw that the city of Haojing, which was usually full of people and bustling with towering pavilions and pavilions, was under the rocket attack of Xirong. The wind assisted the fire, and the fire assisted the wind, and the raging fire continued beeping, and the burnt smell was smoky, and the smoke billowed!

In the Palace of Shuilong Shuren, Ming Gong, who was caught off guard by the army of Xirong, had just rested his eyes in the study room, and heard the ear-piercing cries of the people in the city. He was so frightened that he immediately ordered the eunuch Xiao Ruzi beside him to call a group of officials to discuss matters. .

After a while, the general of the Huben Army, An Tong, Bao Shang, Cheng Rong, Song Yan, Lu Kai and others entered the study one after another, and bowed in front of Ming Gong. Ming Gong glared at Lu Kai and said angrily, "Lu Kai, why are you His closest relatives, King Lu and King Song, have not led troops to rescue him for more than a day and a night, so are they going to force the palace to usurp the throne?"

"This?" Lu Kai was flustered, but he pretended to be loyal and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I never thought that King Song and King Lu would stand still, but I think that our soldiers in Gaojing City have enough fine food and more than enough to defeat the enemy. , Even if there is no reinforcements, relying on the [-] Huben army led by the king himself is enough to defeat the enemy!"

"Okay, Lu Kai, don't tell me that I almost forgot. I have worked so hard for so many years, and there are strong troops gathered inside and outside the capital. I am not afraid of foreign enemies making trouble. Now that the Xirong army is going deep alone, it is a great opportunity for me to show my prestige to the world. , An Tong, I order you to mobilize the tiger and ben cavalry to go out of the city to attack Xi Rong immediately, and make a quick decision!" Ming Gong was reminded by Lu Kai, and he suddenly became complacent, and then he issued an order to An Tong.
