When mother GUI came into the room, she saw Yuchen sitting on the chair in a daze: "Niang Niang, what's the matter?"

Yuchen returned to his mind and said with a bitter smile: "the state of punishment has been lost. Yunqing has occupied the city of punishment in only half a day."

Mother GUI showed her fear: "half a day? So won't Yunqing come to the capital soon? "

Pressed a, jade Chen way: "the emperor prepares to let everybody go to Sheng Jing, I gave to refuse."

"What?" Granny GUI was shocked: "madam, how can you refuse? Niang Niang, not for yourself, but also for the eldest princess and the third highness. They are all in Tongcheng now. " I'm afraid I don't even have a life to stay in the capital.

Yuchen said in a low voice: "it is for ah Chi and ah Bao that I want to stay with the emperor." After a pause, Yuchen lowered his voice: "it's estimated that the emperor will withdraw to Shengjing soon. At that time, it's safer to follow the Emperor than to follow the concubine. " In the period of escaping for life, the number of people was a burden.

Mother GUI nodded her head: "madam, should we clean up the softness in our hands?" All the expensive and easy to carry things in Yuchen's hands were transported to Liaodong. Except for the heavy ones that are hard to carry away, there are only the jewelry and big clothes that he usually wears.

Yu Chen frowned and said, "there are many of these things. It's not realistic to take them all away."

Mother GUI said, "then we will hide those things that are not easy to take away, and come back to take them in the future." Maybe one day, they will come back!

Yuchen shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I can't come back in my lifetime. These things are hidden here. Ah Chi and ah Bao can't use them. " It's better to give someone away.

Knowing that Granny GUI wanted to give things away, she disagreed: "lady, things are not hidden in the palace, take them out of the palace and hide them outside. Maybe one day, the eldest princess and the third highness can use it

After consideration, Yuchen agrees.

After a few days, Luyao and Yurong both received the reward from Yuchen. Lu Yao received six pieces of silk and satin, while Yurong received more. In addition to silk and satin, there were two large woolen clothes and two cases of leather.

Yurong got these things, not only did not like it, but also worried. After receiving the things, he immediately sent for Mr. Gao.

Pointing to the things placed, Yurong said: "my third sister has given so many things, I feel a little flustered." Since she didn't want to move into the palace and out of the Han family, Yuchen would give her something for the occasion. It can be said that Yuchen takes good care of Yurong. But Yurong has his own selfishness and doesn't want to be close to Yuchen.

After a pause, Yurong said: "now it's not new year's day, the imperial concubine should reward such valuable things. I'm worried if there's something wrong ahead." Two big fur clothes, one is mink, the other is tiger.

Mr. Gao thought for a moment and said, "madam, I'm afraid that the war ahead will be unfavorable. Your concubine is preparing for the retreat." Take care of what you have before you leave.

Yurong was a little surprised and said, "Sir, there is no news of defeat outside now." She is now very concerned about the situation outside, and is ready to withdraw to the prepared house whenever something goes wrong.

Mr. Gao shook his head and said, "I'm afraid the imperial court blocked the news. However, if the war is defeated, the court will not hide it for long. "

Yurong asked nervously, "Sir, should we leave here?" Some time ago, Yan Wushuang sent troops to the city. Now the capital is calm for the time being. But Yurong knew that once the news of defeat came, there would be no more peaceful days in the capital. Therefore, it's better to move in before the news of defeat comes. Once the capital is in chaos, it's not safe anywhere.

Mr. Gao made a quick decision and said, "madam, you should pack up first. Let my family move in tomorrow, and we'll move quietly in a few days. " Mr. Gao's wife was born in the countryside, and it hasn't changed much over the years. Living in civilian areas won't attract people's attention. If it's Yurong, I'm afraid that people will stare at her as soon as she moves in.

Yurong nodded and said, "good."

Mr. Gao said: "in the past, I only brought some clothes, and I didn't take anything else."

"I know." She hid all the valuable and easy things, and the furniture was not good wood. It was no pity to lose it.

The next afternoon, the news came out that Xingzhou was lost and Xingcheng was captured by the northwest army in only half a day.

When Han Jiancheng got the news, he immediately came to find Yurong: "elder sister, Xing Zhou has been lost, and I can't protect the stone gate. Sister, I'm going to send a Yao and Yuexia to Shengjing these two days. Elder sister, you can go with us then! "

Yurong shook his head and said, "ah Cheng, I told you I would not leave the capital."

Han Jiancheng worried: "sister, how can you be so stubborn? The northwest army kills people without blinking an eye. How can I rest assured that you and ah Zheng will stay in the capital? "

Hearing this, Yurong was moved: "ah Cheng, you don't have to worry about me, I will protect myself and ah Zheng. It's sister-in-law and Yuexia who go to Shengjing. It's such a long way and they are in chaos. You should send more people to protect them. " It must have been a very dangerous journey.

Han Jiancheng urged Yurong: "elder sister, although Jiang Hongfu is a Zheng's uncle, what if he doesn't want to take care of your mother and son?"

Yurong thought about it and said, "if Jiang Hongfu is not willing to take care of our mother and son, I will go to ask the elder brother and the third sister. I don't believe that the elder brother and the third sister will watch our mother and son being bullied. "

Han Jiancheng thinks Yurong is too naive: "they are out of the family, not my Han family. Princess Ming, in particular, has always been at odds with you. How can she manage you? " Out of the family, from the law, there is no relationship, whether it is also natural.

Yurong originally said these words to make Han Jiancheng stay. But after listening to Han Jiancheng's words, she knew that no matter how much she said, it was useless: "ah Cheng, I have made up my mind. Don't try to persuade me any more."

In the end, neither sister nor brother could make sense of each other.

Yurong felt very sad, and tears came down: "Yunqing is so fierce in the war, Liaodong will fall into his hands sooner or later. Cheng, if you have a bad time in Shengjing, you must come back to me. As long as I have a bite, I will never let you hungry. "

Hearing this, Han Jiancheng was moved and guilty: "OK." Even if he really can't go on, he won't come back to find Yurong. The orphan and widowed mother had a hard time. How could he increase the burden on Yurong.

Yurong wiped her tears and said, "tell me when you leave. I'll see you off." It may not be long before Han Jiancheng leaves.

Han Jiancheng nodded and said, "I'll see you before I leave."

Hearing that Yurong did not follow them to Shengjing, Lu Yao was relieved. It's a long way to go. The fewer people there are going to Shengjing, the better. In addition, when you get to Shengjing, you must point at them for everything. If you want to follow them, you will have two more burdens.

"When you go to Shengjing this time, don't tell your mother and your brother," Han said Lu Yao's brother, that is a waste. Otherwise, Mrs. Lu would not come here every day. If they want to go with them, whether they can go to Shengjing is unknown.

Lu Yao hesitated.

Han Jiancheng said: "what kind of your brother do you have to know? Even his own daughter can sell, if you follow, it will not hurt their sister and brother Yuexia! If you insist on taking them, I'd rather you stay in the capital. " Lu Yao thought that his younger brother would give his daughter to a 50 year old man as a concubine for 500 taels of silver.

Thinking of this, Lu Yao shivered and said, "don't worry, I won't tell my mother." All the children are rebellious women, and Lu Yao is no exception.

It was also on this day that the grain shops in the capital were crowded with people, all of whom came to buy grain. The grain shop who got the news raised the price of grain by 50%. Rao is so. There are still many people in front of the shop.

On the second day, the grain production doubled. Zhong Shan asked tie Kui: "master, are we going to follow the price increase?" Seeing that tie Kui was silent, Zhong Shan said: "master, if we don't raise the price, we will lose a lot."

Tie Kui nodded his head and said, "we sell as much as other grain shops sell." He doesn't put the money in his pocket and hand it in at that time.

Zhong Shantong's face softened a little, and then he could not help asking: "master, you said that the punishment city was occupied by the Ming king in half a day. Is the news true?"

"I'm afraid it's true." He hoped it was true.

Zhong Shantong had a smile on his face: "if so, wouldn't it come to the capital soon?"

He longed for the Ming king to come to the capital tomorrow. In this way, they are free.

"Three months at most," tie Kui said

Just then, ah Shao said: "master, Yan Kai has something important to report back."

Yan Kai brought a message to tie Kui: "master, just got the news, the emperor has issued an imperial edict to announce that general GUI and general Fang have gone to Beijing."

There are three main barracks outside the capital, namely, infantry battalion, forward battalion and Xiaoqi battalion. Tie Kui is the commander of the infantry battalion, while GUI Sanliang and Fang Xiaofeng are the commanders of the forward battalion and the Xiaoqi battalion respectively. Among the three armed forces, the most effective is the Xiaoqi battalion.

Tie Kui's face is relaxed. Yan Wushuang asks GUI Sanliang and Fang Xiaofeng to go to Beijing for the war ahead. Fang Xiaofeng is Yan Wushuang's confidant. If the capital is not protected, Yan Wushuang will not stay to guard the capital. Therefore, the people who stay in the capital are either him or GUI Sanliang.

"I see." Think about it, it won't be long before Yan Wushuang will announce him into the palace.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before the imperial edict came to let tie Kui enter the palace to discuss affairs. It took a long time to enter the palace. Tie Kui didn't come back until the evening.

Zhong Shantong looks at tie Kui's dignified look, but his intuition is not good. Entering the room, Zhong Shantong asked: "master, what's the matter?"

A smile appeared on tie Kui's face: "Yan Wushuang called us into the palace to talk about the war ahead. I think the war ahead is not ideal. " He just pretended to be an outsider. In fact, he was very happy.

It never happened. Zhong Shan said, "who does the emperor want to stay in the capital?"

Tie Kui waved his hand and said, "it's too early to say that." Yan matchless suspicious, this time must not take the initiative to stay in the capital. To stay is to die, and the mole ant still lives secretly. What's more, once a person takes the initiative, he will be doubted by Yan Wushuang. Therefore, not only can we not take the initiative to stay in the capital, but we should stay far away.

With these words, tie Kui's face was a little ugly again: "Yan Wushuang called us today and said one thing in the past. He said that we should be escorted to Liaodong." It is not so much to protect the family as to treat them as hostages. Once they surrender, their wives and children will all be different.

They had expected this for a long time. Zhong Shantong said, "how can my wife's body travel a long distance. Master, have you told the emperor about this? "

Tie Kui nodded his head and said, "yes, the emperor said that his wife can stay in the capital to recuperate, but Fang Hui and Fang Jia are going to Shengjing." Originally, the two daughters also wanted to go, but tie Kui knelt down and begged Yan Wushuang. He said that if the two daughters went with Xiao, they would get more and more ill. Yan Wushuang let go and let Ruyi and Ruhui stay to wait for the disease.

Zhong Shantong's face changed slightly: "what about the eldest young master and the second young master?" If tie Kui's identity is exposed, the first young master and the second young master will surely die.

"I will arrange for people to rob them on the way," tie Kui said With so many family members going to Liaodong, the escort can't take care of them. As long as the arrangement is right, the two sons can be saved.

Zhong Shan thought about it and said, "master, I'd better ask the Falcon to help me with this." Yan Wushuang doesn't worry about tie Kui. He sends someone to watch him all the time, which leads to the fact that tie Kui's power is all in front of him.

Tie Kui thought the same way, just a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid to tell Fang Hui that the child can't keep a secret." Once the news is leaked, not only Fang Hui and Fang Jia will die, but also he will die.

Zhong Shantong has no better way: "young master, you should have a sense of propriety."

Tie Kui shook his head and said, "after all, he's still young. If someone deliberately talks, it's likely that he'll be trapped." After a pause, tie Kui said, "I want aunt Lu to go with them. What do you think?"

Zhong Shantong thinks that this idea is not very good: "aunt Lu is the emperor's person, once you know it's hard to guarantee that it won't leak."

Tie Kui shook his head and said, "tiger poison doesn't eat son. She won't tell on for two children." After a pause, tie Kui said, "but just in case, I won't tell her in advance. When the time comes, let people take the keepsake to find her. I believe she will follow her with the children. "

"If she doesn't believe it, the first young master and the second young master will be in danger." Tie Kui is in his forties and has only three sons. If Fang Hui and Fang Jia are gone, Ning Zhan will be left alone.

"If you don't believe it, let it be." When I say this, my voice is very light. As he said, tiger poison does not eat son, if there is a way, he would not let the two sons to take risks.

Zhong Shan sighed and said nothing.

With the war ahead unfavourable, the price of grain has doubled, and in a few days it has increased five times. The more so, the more panic.
