Chapter 359 Yongning Palace Vows to Live and Die with Chang'an!
Chapter 367 Yongning Prince's Mansion Vows to Live and Die with Chang'an!

It took less than an hour for Li Heng's team to leave Chang'an, that is to say, they traveled more than ten miles.

Li Heng suddenly remembered something, stuck his head out from the Luanjia, and greeted the little eunuch beside him, asking him to pass down the order, the team stopped temporarily, and asked Yang Guozhong to come over quickly to answer the call.

Yang Guozhong was leisurely lying in his luxurious carriage drinking tea, surrounded by beautiful concubines.

Hearing the emperor's call, he didn't dare to neglect, so he got out of the car and rushed over.

"I pay homage to the emperor, long live my emperor!"

After Yang Guozhong finished his worship, Li Heng sighed suddenly, and said softly, "Mr. Yang, I forgot one thing."

Yang Guozhong was startled, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

"Yang Xiang, this time I led the army to leave Chang'an for Lingzhou, and forgot to bring the relatives of Yongning Wang Zhangxuan..." Li Heng said slowly, his face a little embarrassed.

He fled in a hurry, for fear that he would move slowly with so many people. If he was caught up by the An Lushan rebels, it would be a disaster, so if he could go one day earlier, he would go one day earlier. In his haste, he forgot about Zhang Xuan. .

If it's someone else, he won't pay attention at all.But Zhang Xuan is different, Zhang Xuan is his greatest reliance, and he still counts on Zhang Xuanping to rebel and restore his country and society. He fled in such a hurry, but left Zhang Xuan's relatives in the capital. Wouldn't it be very strange if Zhang Xuan knew about it? ...

Yang Guozhong was also taken aback, and then smiled wryly.

Li Heng glanced at Yang Guozhong, "How about this, the team will stop here for now. Yang Xiang, I will send people back to the city as soon as possible to protect the family of King Yongning. Huo Changqing!"

Huo Changqing hurried forward and bowed, "The little one is here!"

"You bring people back to Chang'an, just say it's my intention, let Princess Yongning quickly bring her family to go north with me, and I'll be waiting here!"

Huo Changqing raised his eyebrows lightly, but he didn't dare to refute, and bowed to accept the order and left.

In Chang'an City, Yongning Palace.

Compared with the terrified atmosphere of the rich and powerful families in Chang'an City, the Yongning Palace looked very calm.It's just that the busy traffic in the past has disappeared, and there are only two guards guarding the door with solemn expressions.

Xiao Shisanlang hurried to Cui Ying's courtyard in the backyard, clasped his fists and shouted, "Sister and brother!"

Cui Ying walked out of the room with Wan Chun who was dressed in plain clothes with a smile on her face, bowed her knees and said, "Brother!"

Xiao Shisanlang looked serious, and hurriedly said, "You two brothers and sisters, His Majesty has led his group of officials to escape from Chang'an and went to Lingzhou. The rebels from Anlu Mountain are about to invade Luoyang, the eastern capital. In my opinion, it is still up to Xiao Somebody led the guards in the mansion to protect the two younger brothers and sisters, as well as the wife of the Yang family, leave Chang'an together, and take a small road to Lingzhou."

"If Chang'an falls, our family will definitely not be able to keep it. The younger siblings are pregnant with Liujia, so it is not appropriate to be frightened..."

Wan Chun's face flushed slightly.

Her imperial brother abandoned the ancestral temple and the people of Chang'an, and fled Chang'an in a hurry, which made her, the royal princess, ashamed to face everyone.She had just returned from attending the funeral for the old emperor in the palace, and was talking in Cui Ying's room when Xiao Shisanlang came.

Cui Ying smiled and said, "Brother, you don't need to be so panicked, right? Don't say that the Anlushan rebels haven't captured Luoyang yet. Even if they captured Luoyang, Chang'an wouldn't have so many troops guarding Tongguan." What's the problem. Besides, Qin Wang's army from all over the country is coming one after another, leaving Chang'an at this time may not be a good thing."

Wan Chun's face turned even redder.

Xiao Shisanlang frowned, "Brothers and sisters, just in case, let's leave Chang'an first!"

Cui Ying shook her head, took out a letter from her bosom, raised her hand and said, "Brother, Mr. Lang sent a letter saying that I want my family to stay in Chang'an. My family believes in Mr. Lang. Since Mr. Mr. said so, Chang'an will definitely not Something will happen."

Cui Ying's expression was determined.For Zhang Xuan's words, as a wife, Cui Ying trusted unconditionally.

She believed that it was impossible for Zhang Xuan to give up on her, Wan Chun, and Third Sister Yang, who was also pregnant. If Chang'an was in danger of falling again, he would definitely make arrangements.Since Zhang Xuan sent a letter asking her not to leave Chang'an, but to stay in the mansion with peace of mind, there must be a reason for him.

"I'm not leaving either!" At this moment, Third Sister Yang, who had a slightly protruding lower abdomen in a palace dress and swept her brows lightly, also walked in slowly under the protection of two maids.

Cui Ying smiled, "Third Sister, you are not feeling well, you should stay in your room to recuperate."

Third Sister Yang smiled slightly, "Princess, I'm fine, I'm just about to come over and talk to the concubine and His Royal Highness Wan Chun!"

The three girls stood together and talked affectionately.Since Sanjie Yang was also pregnant, Cui Ying "forcibly" brought Sanjie Yang into the Yongning Palace and lived alone in the first courtyard.At first, Sanjie Yang still felt a little embarrassed, but later she let her go.Anyway, she already had Zhang Xuan's child, and for the sake of her upcoming child, she had to fight for an identity for herself.

In fact, almost everyone in the city knew about her relationship with Zhang Xuan.

Seeing this, Xiao Shisanlang gave a wry smile, turned and left.

Shisanlang Xiao came out of Cui Ying's courtyard, pondered for a moment, then quickly left the mansion and sneaked into the palace.With his means, he sneaked into the palace without the knowledge of the palace guards, as if he was searching for something.

……

……

Zhang Li bowed outside the gate of the courtyard and said, "Princess, two ladies, Eunuch Huo who is beside Your Majesty is here."

Cui Ying was startled, then looked back at Wan Chun and said with a smile, "Sister Wan Chun, didn't this Huo Changqing leave Chang'an with His Majesty? Zhang Li, please go to the main hall, and I will go see him right away!"

Tension leads.

Huo Changqing stood in the living room of Yongning Prince's Mansion with a flickering expression. Hearing footsteps behind him, he knew that it was Cui Ying and other girls who were coming, so he turned around.

"Eunuch Huo!" Cui Ying greeted with a smile.

"Our family pays homage to Princess Yongning, His Highness Wanchun, and Mrs. Guo Guo!" Huo Changqing clasped his fists and said indifferently, "Your Majesty said that this time, His Majesty went north to Lingzhou, thinking that King Yongning and his concubine had been separated for a long time, and wanted to let the concubine and the family members of the palace be separated." Let's go north together, I don't know what the princess wants?"

Cui Ying exchanged glances with Wan Chun and Third Sister Yang, smiled slightly, shook her head and said, "No need, Your Majesty's going to the north is a matter of military and state affairs, and the women of the servant family will not follow. Eunuch Huo please report to His Majesty, Yongning Palace swears Live and die with Chang'an! If there is a day when the rebels capture Chang'an, the slave family will definitely not discredit your Majesty and King Yongning!"

"The only thing is to die, why run away?! Huo Changqing, go back and tell the emperor, although we are the generation of women, we will not be bereaved dogs!"

Wan Chun had already suffocated his anger a long time ago, so his speech was difficult to listen to.She always went straight and didn't like detours, she just said it when she thought about it in her heart, and Cui Ying didn't even have time to stop her.

Huo Changqing's complexion changed, he sneered, and cupped his hands, "Since the princess and the two wives are determined to do this and fail His Majesty's good intentions, then our family can only go back and tell His Majesty the truth. Please take care, our family will leave!"

Huo Changqing turned around and left.

He originally had a grudge against Zhang Xuan and the Zhang family because he ate Zhang Xuan's "noodles" in Lingzhou, but now seeing Cui Ying rejecting the emperor's kindness, he was naturally happy to see this result.

He wished that Cui Ying, Zhang Xuan's women, would fall into the hands of the An Lushan rebels, so as to vent his personal anger.

Wan Chun was furious and was about to explode when Cui Ying grabbed her hand.

Wan Chun looked at the back of Huo Changqing who was leaving in a hurry, gritted his teeth and said softly, "How dare a dead eunuch be rude, so abominable! Sister, why do you block me, I will scold him to death!"

Cui Ying sighed softly, "Sister Wanchun, one thing more is worse than one thing less, why bother to be as knowledgeable as an eunuch. Zhang Li, pass on the order of the slave family. From now on, the palace of Yongning Palace will be closed, and no one is allowed to leave the palace at will."

Xiao Shisanlang sneaked into the palace, and found Concubine Yang Gui, who was once glorious in the past, in a secluded palace.When Li Heng came to the throne, Yang Yuhuan's power suddenly plummeted, and once the old emperor died, no one cares about her life.

Yang Yuhuan was feeling sorry for herself, when she suddenly saw Xiao Shisanlang coming, knowing that it was Zhang Xuan's prior arrangement, she couldn't help feeling warm.No matter how much neglect she received, as long as that man did not forget her, she would be satisfied.

"Imperial Concubine, the matter is urgent, please leave the palace as soon as possible and avoid entering Yongning Palace." Xiao Shisanlang did not show politeness to Yang Yuhuan, and directly stated his intention.He had sneaked into the palace to visit Yang Yuhuan several times before to protect Yang Yuhuan's safety, which was entrusted to him by Zhang Xuan.

Yang Yuhuan hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement.Now the palace is in chaos, and no one cares about her whereabouts.No one knew whether she left the palace or not.

**************************************************
Zhang Xuan swore an oath from Lingzhou and went to the king of Qin.

He personally led 2 Shence Army, 15 Shenwu Army, 3 Flying Tiger Army, [-] Flying Leopard Army, and [-] Women's Army (actually not enough), plus [-] cavalry from Huihe to help fight, the so-called army is [-] , from Lingzhou to the south to seek thieves.Before that, Zhang Xuan had ordered [-] Jingyuan troops to enter Jiuyuan, come out of the clouds, attack Fan Yang, and approach An Lushan's lair.

Three days later, the army arrived at the outskirts of Gyeongju and set up camp.

The night is low and the summer wind is hot and humid.

More than ten riders crossed the Yellow River from the east direction, and galloped towards Zhang Xuan's Longshuo army camp in the dark.

Nan Jiyun personally led the army to greet the visitor in front of the camp gate—it was the envoy sent by An Lushan General Shi Siming.

Under the leadership of Nan Jiyun, Shi Siming's emissary marched quietly and went straight into Zhang Xuan's tent.

Zhang Xuan sat in the handsome tent, which was empty, and it was Shi Siming's youngest son, Shi Jian, who stood on Zhang Xuan's left.

Nan Jiyun brought Shi Siming's envoy into the tent, and then stood by the side with several guards, of course to protect Zhang Xuan.

Shi Siming's emissary first glanced at Shi Yan who was surprised, and then heaved a sigh of relief, bowed down to Zhang Xuan, and shouted loudly, "The last general is Gao Yan, General Shi Siming's marching Sima, Greetings to King Yongning!"

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly and waved his hand.

Noticing that Shi Yan, who was standing beside him, was flushed and short of breath, Zhang Xuan's heart moved, and he suddenly said in a deep voice, "How dare you lie to me, come here, and let me take this person down!"
