Bondage

When the people on the street heard this, they all dispersed to make room for the messenger.Anxiously shouting Suhe to the front in a loud voice.

All of a sudden, the streets of Shangjing were full of voices of panic.

"Hey, are you talking about Suhe? Could it be His Royal Highness..."

The shopkeeper yelled, and when he mentioned the prince, the people behind him thought his words were unlucky, so they pushed forward fiercely.

"That's right, you're talking about what happened to Suhe River? What about Suncheng and Chiyang? But does the new emperor of Nanqing know about Suhe River?"

There are outstanding people in Shangjing, and even the common people know a thing or two about the political affairs of the court.Those with quick minds are not even much worse than the officials of the DPRK and China.Everyone said something to each other, but the messenger's eyes were full of surprise.

How did this secret military order become known to everyone?

"Hey, what did you say, what happened to Suhe?"

The people pushed and pulled him, and the pale-faced messenger was dizzy from being pushed back and forth, and he was on the road without rest, so now he said in a dazed way: "After the new king of Nanqing ascended the throne, he ordered [-] elite soldiers are heading towards the Su River..."

With a sound, the people's mouths wailed.

"Was that news a few days ago?"

"Six days..."

He didn't stop all the way, he passed eleven post stations before rushing from Suhe to Shangjing, he doesn't know what the situation of Suhe is now.

"How many soldiers and horses does our imperial court have in Suhe?"

Some people said: "I don't know..."

"Less than two thousand."

"How can two thousand fight against Nanqing's [-] army?"

"I don't know..."

The people in Shangjing cried and cursed, feeling extremely disappointed in the imperial court.Nanqing was going to fight to the door, but their emperor was still huddled in the palace, not knowing what he was doing.

"I heard that the British government's little general Ming is recruiting troops on the outskirts of Beijing. I'm afraid he will bring some people there."

"That's less than ten thousand, what can be done?"

"Where?"

The shopkeeper stretched his neck and said, "I'll go. I'll go to the Suhe River with Little General Ming."

"Our men have no parents, no wives and children, and only a handful of strength. It is impossible to say that Suhe can help His Royal Highness kill one or two Nanqing dog thieves."

He threw the burden away, and said to a familiar face behind him: "Please trouble this sister-in-law to deliver the pole to my home. If I am ordered to come back from Suhe in the future, I will have to rely on it to support my family and marry a wife."

"Hey... hey."

The woman was a little dazed at first, then stepped forward to carefully lift up the salesman's burden and put it in front of her for protection.

"I... I'm with you."

A thin young man in the crowd spoke anxiously. He was wearing waiter clothes, jumping and trying to go forward, but was grabbed by a man who looked like a shopkeeper behind him: "Don't kill you? The emperor doesn't care about it. what are you going to do?"

The waiter took off the cloth scarf on his head, and said softly: "It is because the emperor doesn't care about it that I am going to Suhe River to support. If I go, I can buy an extra day for the court, even an hour. It is not convenient." Reinforcements are available. Thanks to Master's care for many years, your great kindness can only be reciprocated by the next generation."

After the young boy named Lai Hui finished speaking, he chased after the shopkeeper in two or three steps.

"I go……"

"I also……"

There was a tall and strong man who stretched out his head and raised his hand, but was sternly held back by his wife, daughter, or parents behind him.

But there are also those who have made up their minds to follow in the footsteps of the shopkeeper and the waiter.

Even a wandering doctor with a cloth banner in his hand, who looked over half a century old, swayed and followed behind everyone with a medicine box on his back.

In front of the palace gate, there were hundreds of officials in the court and the people of Dongning, and there were also cries and shouts, but there was no sound of flinching.

Ming Huaxin stood under the gate of the palace, watching the scattered people running towards the outskirts of Beijing with tears in his eyes.He turned to Song Fu and said, "Today, you pass the letter to Ming Chun and ask him to lead the troops to Suhe."

Song Fu frowned slightly, but nodded quickly.

Up to now, no one cares about Emperor Wen Hui's will.

Ming Huaxin smiled faintly as he looked at the people who spontaneously took out money, rice and grain from their homes.

He thought, even if the British government was ransacked and executed for resisting the decree in the future, he would still be able and dare to say that he had never been ashamed of the ancestors of the Ming family when he was in the underworld.

Many students of Jingshan Academy were also ready to move, and several gray-haired old men were comforting in a low voice.However, the exhaustion of Bangguo can't quench the blood of men, and the ambition of Lingyun can't be erased by guns, swords and halberds. At that moment, some people took off their literati long gowns and rushed to the suburbs of Beijing.

Su Xie also wanted to go forward, but was trapped in front of him by the servants of the Song Mansion who pulled out their belts.

Dongning had been weak for decades due to military strength and Emperor Wen Hui, but at this moment everyone straightened up.

"uncle."

Ming Xiang helped the eldest princess from far to near, and Song Fu saw her slightly pursed lips.The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, hiding their affection in their hearts.

The eldest princess took out a gold medal from her bosom and handed it to Ming Huaxin, who then handed it to the generals defending the city.

"Open the door."

The general guarding in front of the palace gate frowned upon hearing this: "The sage has a decree..."

The eldest princess waved her hand casually: "Any old man is also his imperial aunt. If this old man wants to enter the palace, even the late emperor can't stop him, let alone Shen Congyi's imperial decree."

"Open the palace gate."

The general was still hesitating, but the lieutenant behind him had already walked to the palace gate and opened it.

The eldest princess turned around and looked at Song Fu: "You let them enter the palace with me."

Dozens of courtiers stood up in unison behind them, and Jiang's mother also hurriedly stood up and followed behind the Eldest Princess.A group of students from Jingshan Academy also wanted to enter the palace, but they were blocked by the forbidden army.

Ming Xiang walked in the front with the eldest princess supported, while the imperial guards accompanied her.

Everyone went to the palace in a mighty manner, while Song Wan sat in Shang Rong's bedroom with Lu Youyun and others, anxiously waiting for something.

"The courtiers have entered the palace with the Eldest Princess."

Ji Rong entered Shang Rong's bedroom, reported in a low voice, and informed the new emperor of Nanqing that he had led [-] elite troops to Suhe.

Qi Qingling couldn't sit still, she got up anxiously and paced back and forth in the room: "There is a change in Nanqing, the eldest princess enters the palace, will the Holy Majesty change his mind and send troops?"

Shang Rong shook her head: "I don't know."

"So he still..."

Qi Qingling gritted her teeth, feeling resentful.

Lu Youyun and Zhang Baozhen were the youngest, they couldn't help much at the side, so they could only go to the small kitchen to boil water and make tea for a few people. As soon as they left the courtyard, the eunuch of Dongchang hurried in from outside.

Surprised, the two followed the little eunuch into the house.

"Masters, the Holy Majesty has brought a dozen or so imperial guards to the harem."

Zhao Nanzhang frowned: "What does he mean?"

Song Wan squeezed the handkerchief and said in despair: "Your Majesty has made up his mind to not see everyone. I'm afraid that he will be willing to wait until the mountains and rivers are broken, and Dongning's country is destroyed."
