Flourishing age's Medical concubine

August 15, the fifth year of Chengan

It is the Mid Autumn Festival again, but on this day, no one inside and outside Jinling imperial city wants to celebrate the Mid Autumn Festival. Because the full moon of the Mid Autumn Festival has not yet been seen in the evening, the other three gates of Jinling imperial city have been opened one after another. As for the South City, the Chenzhou army led by Nangong Xu has entered the city first. In desperation, the soldiers guarding the city had to give up the outer city and retreat to the inner gate. It's just that the outer city can't keep it, and how long can the inner city keep it?

The Duke of Hubei stood on the tower and looked at the Chenzhou army and Youzhou army who were struggling to attack outside. He only felt a burst of uncontrollable sadness and helplessness in his heart.

"Duke of the kingdom." Nangong came quickly with a suit of armor, and his eyes were red on his thin face. Looking from a distance, you can see Nangong Xu, who is thin but still sitting straight, sitting on horseback at the first sight in the chaotic army. Nangong Huai didn't know whether he should be pleased or ashamed. The father and son are hostile to this situation. If we only look at the results, the discerning people know that he has lost.

The Duke of Hubei looked back at Nangong Huai and looked indifferent, "Duke of Chu."

Nangong sighed, stood side by side with the Duke of Hubei, stood on the city tower, looked down and asked, "the Duke thinks we still have a chance to win?"

The Duke of Hubei was silent for a long time.

Nangong Huai is not really a heartless, bloodless and tearful person. Even if he is selfish, he will inevitably feel a little in the face of today's situation. How heroic were they when they followed the emperor to expel the Beiyuan people, and how energetic were they when they followed the emperor to move into the imperial city? Unfortunately, the death of the first emperor was only a few years, and even the imperial city of Jinling could not be guarded.

Nangong Huai knew that they had no chance of winning, and he didn't intend to defend Jinling City for Xiao Qianye. But now he can only rely on Gong Yuchen. Gong Yuchen didn't say he could go, so he can only continue to stay. But Nangong Huai knew that Gong Yuchen could not die with Xiao Qianye, so he was not in a hurry.

He sighed secretly. Nangong Huai regretted that he had promised Gong Yuchen to help him catch Yao. If it wasn't for this, how could he be targeted by the people of Zixiao hall? Once he left the encirclement of tens of thousands of troops and had no escort of the water Pavilion, he could not escape the pursuit of Zixiao hall anyway.

"Tell the Duke, it's not good!" several generals hurried here and shouted before they entered. The public heart of the state of Hubei sank and said in a deep voice, "what's the matter?"

The general said, "fire broke out in many places in the city. In addition, Chonghua gate... Chonghua gate was broken!"

In fact, without the general talking, they also saw the fire and smoke suddenly rising in the distance. Chonghua gate is the nine gates in the inner city, but... How can it be so fast?!

Nangong Huai's face was also heavy, but he had a retreat in his heart. He said in a deep voice, "there are fine works of King Yan's house in the inner city!"

The Duke of e shook his head and said weakly, "I'm afraid... It's not the work of King Yan's house, but..." someone was an insider and betrayed his majesty. Even if there is fine work, how much ability can you open the gate? It can only be done by high-ranking people in the city.

The hurried general also said, "the old Duke is right. It was king Qing and the Duke of Yichun who opened the gate. At this time... Chenzhou army has entered the city."

Everyone looked at the Duke of Hubei and wanted him to make an idea. The old face of the Duke of Hubei had only helplessness and sadness. He waved weakly and said, "just go."

"Old... Duke?"

The justice of the state of E: "do whatever you want..." the inner city is no wider than the outer city. I thought that although I retreated to the inner city, with the strength of the city and the soldiers staying in the outer city, I could stop some time with street fighting. But now it seems that all the generals who are afraid to stay in the outer city have surrendered? There are nine gates in the inner city. Once one gate is broken, the rest will be lost. What's more... I already know that Jinling imperial city can't be guarded, so why let these soldiers die? The old face of the Duke of the state of Hubei looked at the young faces still stationed on the city tower. There was only bitterness left on the old face.

Uncles and nephews compete, monarchs and ministers mutilate each other, and the throne changes... What dry cleaning do you have with these ordinary soldiers? Enough

The state of Hubei turned around and left, leaving only a trembling old figure and a crowd of helpless soldiers looking at each other.

"Well... Duke of Chu, what should we do?" the general obviously didn't expect such a result, so he had to ask Nangong Huai who was standing aside. Although Nangong Huai's reputation is not very good now, after all, he still follows the founding hero of the former Emperor. The Duke of Hubei has left. At this time, only he can make up his mind.

Nangong Huai looked at the direction of the Duke of Hubei's departure and sneered in his heart, but he didn't show it at all. He raised his eyebrows and said, "didn't the old Duke say what he wanted to do?" then he waved his hand and turned away.

"Duke of Hubei!" Nangong Huai caught up with the staggering Duke of Hubei and shouted.

The Duke of Hubei turned back and calmly looked at Nangong. He didn't speak for a long time. Nangong Huai was a little uncomfortable when he looked at him and said with a smile, "why is the old Duke looking at me like this?"

The justice of the state of Hubei: "the Duke of the state of Chu now... Is it his Majesty's person or the person of the Lord of the palace?"

Nangong was surprised. He soon recovered his peace and said with a smile, "the Duke of Hubei is laughing."

The Duke of e shook his head and said, "I asked for nothing. If the Duke of Chu had half a loyalty to his majesty, would he... Go all the way to Chenzhou to help Gong Yuchen rob a child."

Nangong Huai was silent for a moment and had to sigh: "sure enough, nothing can be concealed from the Duke of Hubei."

The Duke of the state of Hubei asked, "what is the relationship between the broken Chonghua gate and the Lord of the palace?"

Nangong Huai frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said in an uncertain way: "maybe there is such a relationship?" although he is now helping Gong Yuchen, his relationship with Gong Yuchen is really not very good. It was just mutual use. Naturally, Gong Yuchen wouldn't tell him any confidential things. These were just mentioned by Gong Yuchen occasionally. In fact, Nangong Huai didn't understand what Gong Yuchen wanted to do when he helped King Yan deal with Xiao Qianye and Xiao Qianye kill King Yan. It is reasonable to say that nianyuan's identity has been exposed. Gong Yuchen and King Yan have completely changed their faces, but what do you want to do while helping Xiao Qianye guard the city and helping King Yan open the city gate?

"Did the old Duke give up for this?" Nangong Huai frowned. Just now he was still mocking the Duke of Hubei in his heart. When he saw that the Chonghua gate was broken, he put it down. It's not necessarily better than him.

The Duke of e looked up at the dark sky and said, "I have reminded your majesty many times that Gong Yuchen is not credible. Unfortunately, your majesty... Since your majesty has given up himself, let go of those innocent soldiers."
