The ancestral jade pendant is actually a space, so you don't need to panic when fleeing from fa

Yuan Xichen waited until he calmed down before giving the order.

After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After all, only that group of people suffered.

Then he went straight back into the bedroom, followed by Yuan Yi and several others.

It turned out that they went to the government office to find the county magistrate today in order to send more people to keep an eye on the movements of the refugees.

Only when I met the person who left the note did I learn that the large number of refugees coming to Dongyu was actually planned by someone.

The number of refugees is increasing, and the consequences will be disastrous if they are not controlled.

Yuan Yi helped Yuan Xichen change into a light-colored gown. After the clothes were changed, he asked, "Your Majesty, do you think Jiang Hao's words are reliable? Although what he said makes sense, I think we should be on guard against others. We still have to make full preparations and leave ourselves a way out."

The Jiang Hao that Yuan Yi mentioned was a grain transport officer sent by the imperial court to deliver disaster relief grain. He was only in his early forties today.

This time, it was him that Yuan Xichen went to meet. Jiang Hao also told Yuan Xichen the reason for the incident. In the end, Yuan Xichen did not care about him hiring someone to shoot an arrow.

It turned out that the food given by the court was originally intended for the victims, but when he checked later, he found that the food had been replaced by someone.

It was originally filled with white rice, but in the end it all turned into brown rice.

Losing food is a serious crime, and Jiang Hao wants to cooperate with Yuan Xichen in order to save his life.

Jiang Hao told Yuan Xichen that the emperor had actually issued another order, which was that food could be given to disaster victims in other places, but the supply to Dongyu would be put on hold for the time being.

It is difficult to disobey the emperor's order. Jiang Hao felt like an ant being roasted on the fire, small and helpless.

Finally, he took a risk and found Yuan Xichen and told him the emperor's order, so that Yuan Xichen could stabilize the refugees here. He also tried his best to lead the refugees to other places, so as to stabilize the people first.

Yuan Xichen also knew that the restless force among the refugees this time might have been instructed by the emperor, so he could not do anything.

After hearing what Yuan Yi said, Yuan Xichen actually already knew what was going on.

But he also wanted to hear other people's opinions, at least to solve the problem as perfectly as possible.

Dongyu cannot be in chaos. Once it is in chaos, it will only be worse. Those people outside are also watching it covetously.

Yuan Xichen sat on the table and gently took a sip of jasmine tea. After drinking the tea, the fragrance lingered in the mouth, making people have endless aftertaste.

He glanced at everyone with his sharp eyes, and then said slowly: "It's okay, we need to prepare more later, just in case. Since he wants to play with me, I will play with him.

Also, go and make some arrangements to find the beauties in Dongyu, train them a little and then give them to him. You should know what happens next."

It is well known that Emperor Yuanjia was hot-tempered and lustful by nature.

Yuan Xichen placed someone next to him not to gather information, but to defeat him physically.

As long as he has health problems, he naturally doesn't have the energy to do anything.

Yuan Yi knew Yuan Xichen's plan in an instant and thought it was feasible.

Seeing that the time was about the same, Yuan Yi and the others left the room and returned to their own rooms.

After the door opened, a group of maids came in and helped Yuan Xichen undress.

Yuan Xichen felt sleepy at this time and soon fell asleep.

A silent night, sweet dreams.

The next day, Yuan Xichen was awakened by the noise outside before dawn.

Yuan Yi ran in panicked, holding a carrier pigeon in his hand.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Take a look at this letter."

Yuan Yi had already opened the letter and stuffed it into Yuan Xichen's hand.

Yuan Yi was so flustered that he almost lost his composure and was completely at a loss as to what to do.

Yuan Xichen was already a little irritable because he was woken up, but when he saw Yuan Yi's panicked expression, he realized that the matter was not simple, so he did not pursue his recklessness.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to report. I have found a group of mysterious people in the mountains and forests. After our efforts, we have successfully captured several of them. Under severe torture, one of them could not bear it and confessed. It turned out that two months ago, General Gu Chen was urgently summoned back to the capital, but was suddenly thrown into prison.

Because of the general's military merits, he was not beheaded, but his military power was handed over. The whole family of more than 200 people were exiled to a wild land, about a thousand meters away from here.

Those soldiers who stayed at the border were also dispersed throughout the country by Emperor Yuanjia. The one who actually helped guard the border was General Gu Chen's deputy general Shen Ke, who only led a total of 50,000 people.

This news has not been leaked so far, so we still don't know. Ten days after the general was imprisoned, the barbarians at the border were ready to move. Finally, three days ago, the 100,000-man army broke through the border defense line.

These news have not been passed on. I heard that there is a capable person among them. According to his confession, their goal is also to quietly erode our territory. According to what he said, within a month, a hundred thousand troops will arrive at the gate of Dongyu City. Your Majesty, this matter has to be believed. I was so anxious that I forgot my limits. I hope your Majesty will forgive me. "

Yuan Yi finally explained the whole thing, but he was still very nervous.

After hearing this, Yuan Xichen's handsome face showed a trace of sadness. He never expected things to turn out like this.

If Emperor Yuanjia had not been suspicious by nature and had not suspected General Gu Chen, he would not have suffered such injustice and the border would not have been lost.

The saddest thing is that the message was delayed. Even when others were almost at his doorstep, Emperor Yuanjia probably didn’t know about it.

If there were no treason or deception, this situation would never have happened.

After Yuan Xichen calmed down a bit, he said with a serious expression: "Send a pigeon to the capital immediately and tell the truth about what happened here. Ask the capital to send people over to help defend the line. From now on, send more people, strengthen patrols, and pay attention to the surrounding situation at all times.

Also, you go and check the troops immediately. At the first quarter of the morning, have the cook prepare a meal so that the soldiers can have a full meal before leaving. At the third quarter of the morning, I will lead 80,000 troops to set out. You will temporarily defend the city while I go and join Chen Yi and the others."

As the saying goes, speed is of the essence in war, Yuan Xichen did not dare to delay any longer.

If we are a step late, the consequences will be disastrous.

Yuan Yi was the first to kneel down and stop them when he heard this: "Your Majesty, no! You are of noble status, how can you condescend to go to the battle? Let me lead the troops, and you just stay here to defend Dongyu."

"Yes, Your Highness, you can't go. If something unexpected really happens, we will be left without a backbone." Several other shadow guards spoke in unison to stop Yuan Xichen.

"My king, I have made up my mind and it cannot be changed."
