Chapter 306 Xie Mingzhu's disguise as a man, is she afraid that others won't be able to te
"Grandmother, Second Brother can't go to war with Luo Hanfeng!" Xie Yuze said excitedly as soon as he realized what was happening.
Madam Xie's eyes were filled with sorrow: "How could I not know that Tong Chen could not go to war with Luo Hanfeng?"
"But this is His Majesty's decree. How can we disobey it?"
“Look what our Xie family has become now.”
The old lady Xie looked extremely sad.
Since the Xie family was besieged, the emperor has remained silent. That damned emperor is unjust; he listened to others and let a loyal minister end up in such a state.
It's clear that the Emperor is wary of us!
Now, Madam Xie doesn't know what to do.
We can only wait.
She gave Xie Yuze a strange look: "Didn't you lose your memory? How could you say that the second brother can't go to war with Luo Hanfeng?"
Xie Yuze's expression froze.
He let out a soft "uh," a bead of cold sweat sliding down his forehead, and said in a weak voice, "I don't know either, Grandmother, that's just what I thought."
"I don't know why I had this idea."
"Hmph!" Old Madam Xie sneered, "You'd better think this way: if you haven't regained your memory in two days, and don't even know who went to the study, what they were doing, or why they tried to kill you, my Xie family will be in even greater danger!"
After saying that, Madam Xie went out.
She was busy, and couldn't just sit at the Xie family's house and wait to die.
Now, thieves have brazenly entered the Xie family and are trying to kill the Xie family members. First it's Xie Yuze, and who knows who will be next.
After leaving, Madam Xie quickly wrote a letter and gave it to the warlord guarding the door. She also gave him a heavy bag of gold and said, "Please give this letter to the Empress Dowager."
The warlord instinctively wanted to refuse.
Madam Xie squinted and said, "I have walked with the Empress Dowager to this day, and our friendship is naturally incomparable to that of others. If the Xie family is freed from this predicament, the General will remember the kindness shown to us today."
"If the governor doesn't even help with this small favor, he may regret it later."
Upon hearing this, the military governor indeed hesitated.
Judging from Jun Lanjin's attitude when he came to the Xie family today, it is clear that Jun Lanjin still cares about the Xie family quite a bit. Moreover, according to rumors, Jun Lanjin has long been fond of the Xie family's newly found daughter.
What if the Xie family makes a comeback someday...
Thinking this, the warlord smiled, took the letter from Madam Xie, and said with a smile, "It's a small favor, I will certainly help you, Madam."
Only then did Madam Xie turn around and go back, relieved.
The warlord glanced down at the letter in his hand, thought for a moment, and then sent a trusted confidant to deliver it to the Empress Dowager.
……
in the palace.
Inside the emperor's study.
Jun Lanjin recounted the events of the day to the Emperor, who, upon hearing them, was filled with rage: "Well, how dare someone do such a thing right under my nose! Do they really think I don't exist?!"
Jun Lanjin's expression was indifferent. He tucked his hands into his sleeves and said, "In my opinion, the Xie family's rebellion is a conspiracy."
"Xie Ansheng is a fierce general by His Majesty's side, commanding 100,000 soldiers. Recently, he has been loyal to His Majesty. If he really had rebellious intentions, why would His Majesty have imprisoned him and not made a move for so long?"
"If His Majesty were to actually execute the Xie family, it would only be in line with the desires of certain people."
The emperor lowered his eyes in deep thought.
He said, "The Xie family's military power is too high, and their achievements overshadow the emperor. I originally wanted to take this opportunity to reduce Xie Ansheng's power and take back the military power, but I did not expect so many troublesome things to happen."
Jun Lanjin lowered his eyes, his gaze indifferent: "I'm afraid the Southern Emperor is still harboring treacherous intentions, and the princes in the court are eyeing the throne with covetous intent."
"Faced with internal and external troubles, Your Majesty should think twice before acting."
The Chu Emperor looked at Jun Lanjin: "Zhiheng, how is your health these days?"
The Chu Emperor was unaware that Jun Lanjin was also suffering from a chronic poison. He wondered how the poison of the Frost Palm could be so potent.
Even now, Jun Lanjin's health shows no signs of improvement.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. My health remains the same."
"Your Majesty, the epidemic and disasters must be dealt with, otherwise they will incite public anger."
The Chu Emperor naturally knew this.
He said, "Disaster relief and medical treatment cost money, as do military campaigns. I'm afraid the national treasury can't support these expenses."
Jun Lanjin smiled slightly: "If that's the case, Your Majesty need not worry, I have a way to manage the national treasury."
The Emperor of Chu was delighted and looked at Jun Lanjin with admiration: "Zhiheng has always been a favorite of mine. If the Crown Prince were half as capable as Zhiheng, I wouldn't be so worried!"
Jun Lanjin just smiled, but didn't reply.
the other side.
Xie Xing's group traveled for three days and finally set up camp fifty miles away from the city in the Southern Kingdom that had been captured.
The further south they went, the less food they found. The surrounding area was desolate, and the people they occasionally encountered on the road were emaciated and starving.
If it weren't for the large number of soldiers in the army, these refugees would probably be so hungry that they would even dare to steal the soldiers' rations.
Song Ci'an's expression grew increasingly somber.
Seeing this, Xie Xing moved closer to Song Ci'an and said, "Second brother, just you wait and see. If I go back alone, I'm afraid there won't even be a trace of Yue Liang and me left."
"How could it be so serious?" Song Ci'an found it unbelievable.
Xie Xing said, "The epidemic is probably man-made, while the famine is a natural disaster. With the two combined, the people will be in dire straits."
In this situation, the southern country provided food, and how could the people of the city not open the city gates in order to survive?
Parents are the ones who feed their children.
Xie Xing felt that if the problems of food and disease could not be solved, even if the city was recaptured, it would still arouse resentment among the people.
This battle, which seemed like an easy one, was actually very difficult to win.
Song Ci'an glared at her and said, "This is no reason for you to stay in the army. War is not child's play. When night falls, find a chance to run away, and then I will find an excuse to say that you are dead."
With war imminent, how could they really send Xie Xing, a delicate woman, up there?
Xie Xing wanted to say something, but Song Ci'an raised his hand and said, "Only this matter is non-negotiable."
Xie Xing puffed out his cheeks.
Having no other choice, she could only walk up to the moon in a huff, casually pluck a foxtail grass, and wave it back and forth between the moon's nose.
War is no child's play, but she can't leave now.
She had to keep an eye on things from a distance, and even save Xie Tongchen at crucial moments.
If Xie Tongchen dies, all the credit for retaking the city will go to Luo Hanfeng alone.
Xie Xing was naturally not afraid that Luo Hanfeng would be unable to conquer the city, after all, the protagonist's halo was there, but the supporting characters did not have a halo.
She needs to make a move at the crucial moment.
However, Song Ci'an is right. She is currently in a delicate state. If it weren't for the moon by her side, she wouldn't be able to survive in the jungle by herself, let alone save Xie Tongchen.
It's all up to fate.
Ugh!
"Young man." At this moment, a clear and pleasant voice came.
Xie Xing turned around and raised an eyebrow.
Yo.
Isn't this Xie Mingzhu disguised as a man?
So obvious, are you afraid someone won't recognize you?
