All the money was emptied on the way to exile, and there was too much money to spend

Chang'an City had just experienced a bloody battle.

Xie Lin stood in front of the Taiji Hall in the imperial palace, watching his subordinates move the corpses and clean up the bloodstains.

The simple blue brick floor was stained red by blood and then turned black and solidified, silently telling how brutal the fighting was from last night to this afternoon.

Xie Lin also had some injuries on his body.

However, his face remained tense and he did not immediately go off the field to treat his injuries.

Bai Xuan came back after counting the number of people and saw Xie Lin standing there looking into the distance. He knew that Xie Lin was worried about his wife and children.

"Your Majesty."

Bai Xuan stepped forward and was about to speak when Xie Wenjun came over with a letter.

"marshal."

He hurried forward and handed the letter to Xie Lin with both hands. "The King of Zhennan, the vanguard of the Mobei army, has arrived at the foot of Shitou City in person."

"Um……"

Xie Lin took the letter.

Bai Xuan's face changed drastically. "Does he know that we just went through a fierce battle and wants to take the opportunity to rush into Chang'an and reap the benefits?"

If this is true, can the soldiers who have been fighting for a whole day resist the Mobei cavalry who are waiting for them?

Bai Xuan cried out inwardly that something was wrong.

If things were really as he thought, it would be bad.

Of course, it’s not that they can’t fight Mo Bei, but they have just experienced a great war, and if they fight against the people who have been waiting, they will always be at a disadvantage.

Bai Xuan was thinking about how to solve this problem when he heard Xie Lin speak from the side.

"not necessarily."

He took the pigeon letter handed to him by Xie Wenjun, looked at it, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

"Chanchan and his men have dealt a heavy blow to the Mobei army. The King of Zhennan is so angry that he can't sit still and decides to go to the frontline himself."

"What? Princess and the others successfully defeated the Mobei army?"

There was some disbelief in Bai Xuan's tone.

Xie Lin was not happy with the tone of his voice.

He turned to look at Bai Xuan beside him, "What's wrong with your tone? Who do you think my wife is?"

Bai Xuan...

Isn’t she the most noble lady in Chang’an?

Well, outsiders’ impression of summer cicadas is too monotonous and crude, and they don’t know how powerful summer cicadas really are.

Xie Lin felt happy about this, but also a little regretful.

The one who was happy was, of course, he was the only one who understood the real summer cicada.

What is regrettable is that his cicada is so dazzling, but no one outside knows about it.

Failure, such a failure.

Xie Lin handed the letter to Xie Wenjun, raised his head and looked towards the outside of the city, "Notify them to clean up Chang'an as soon as possible. When Chanchan comes back, I want to give her a peaceful and prosperous life."

Instead of a messy palace filled with the smell of blood.

Bai Xuan nodded and did it immediately.

Xie Lin looked at Xie Wenjun on the side and asked him to lead a team to Shitou City to support Xia Chan, Xie Wenhao and others.

"You must remember, no matter what happens, you must protect your aunt."

"Yes, please rest assured, uncle."

"Go ahead." Xie Lin said, "You go first, I'll be there soon."

"Yes."

The news that Prince Zhennan had moved was not only received by Xie Lin, but also by the left and right princes of Mobei and the Prince of Mobei.

They didn't expect that the Prince of Zhennan, who had been holding his ground and saying that it was not time to move, would now take the initiative to move forward.

"Zheng Nan, the old man, he finally decided to move."

Prince Zuo of Mobei spoke.

Next to him, there is the Prince of the Right.

The relationship between the two was not very good at first, but after a man named Prince Zhennan, who was deeply trusted by the king, suddenly appeared, their relationship quickly improved.

Maybe the enemy of my enemy is my friend?

In short, these two people hated Zheng Nan, who came from a grassroots background, and felt that he broke the noble rules of the Huns.

He often flatters Zheng Nan in front of King Mobei.

At this moment, after hearing that Zheng Nan had finally started to move, they couldn't help but wonder what Zheng Nan's real purpose was.

"I heard that he lost three generals in one day."

"Is he seeking revenge for his dead subordinates?"

"I don't know. Anyway, as long as he kills people from Daqing, he is our partner, right?"

Prince Zuo asked.

The Right Prince was somewhat unhappy, but he could only suppress his unhappiness temporarily.

"He must not embarrass everyone and waste his reputation, which is known all over the country and specializes in suppressing the southern barbarians."

…………

While everyone was discussing the matter, Prince Zhennan arrived at the vanguard camp outside Stone City in the middle of the night.

His arrival boosted the morale of the soldiers in the vanguard army.

Having just lost three generals, they seemed to see hope of victory again.

"Your Highness, what should we do? Should we launch a direct attack?" The soldiers in the army, who had always believed that they should launch a direct attack, once again made a suggestion.

In fact, many soldiers were opposed to the Prince of Zhennan's idea of ​​fighting against the other civilization.

They thought that with their advantage of large numbers, they could just attack the city in one go and capture the Stone City.

There's really no need to talk about etiquette with them or issue a declaration of war.

As for public support, they don't need it.

All they want is the land of Stone City.

As long as the land is firmly under control, if anyone is not convinced, just kill them.

Why bother with something as troublesome as "He who wins the hearts of the people will rule the world"?

The King of Zhennan looked at his subordinates who were excited. He nodded and said, "I will give them an ultimatum at dawn. If they don't surrender, we will suppress them with military force!"

"If the Stone City becomes a river of blood, it will be their own fault."

Prince Zhennan said this, but as a former Daqing native, he knew better than anyone that Wang Shouquan and his men would not surrender so easily.

Although the Daqing royal family is rotten to the core, some of Daqing's generals guarding the border are still very principled.

He understands this very well.

At the same time, precisely because he understood this, he attacked even more fiercely.

He wanted to see how Xie Lin would respond!

Xie Lin is a good fighter, but can he really manage the world well? Unify the world and let the people live and work in peace?

Prince Zhennan was leaning on the armchair, and the Stone City was not far ahead.

He stared in the direction of the Stone City and did not sleep all night.

No one knows what he is thinking.

The confidants just thought that the prince was under too much pressure before the war, so he stayed up all night thinking about the war.

Only Prince Zhennan himself knew clearly that what he was thinking about at the moment was not the war at all.

He was thinking, now that he was in a desperate situation, was there any way to turn back?

In order to avenge his family and the unjust deaths of Xie Jiajun, he chose a path of no return.

It would be fine if it continued like this, but he had already reached the point of no return, and God told him that his family was alive and well...
